Pokémon: The Sims.

Chapter 167 Perhaps I Will Fall in Love with You
To be fair, the Phalaenopsis orchid is quite bold.

Since we've chosen Wu Ge, we should wholeheartedly trust him.

Although he wasn't particularly skilled in Pokémon battles, his sheer determination was truly remarkable. He truly deserves to be called the ancestor of future Sinnoh champions.

As for the battlefield.

There are no dedicated training grounds or battlefields in Baidai City.

Trainers usually go outside the city to battle.

To the west of Bourne City lies Bourne Forest, and to the north is a small plain, making it a suitable place for Pokémon battles.

The west side is very close to the Pokémon Hospital.

Therefore, most trainers go to Eterna Forest to battle.

Wu Ge and his group were no exception.

"Aren't you going to give instructions, Phalaenopsis orchid?"

Louis looked at the Phalaenopsis orchid strangely.

Because at this moment, the Phalaenopsis orchid was standing outside the battlefield.

This clearly shows that they don't intend to command the Lizard King in battle.

"No need, the Lizard King can defeat you on his own."

Phalaenopsis casually raised its chin.

Regardless of her command skills, it's questionable whether she would actually be a hindrance in command.

As for her true identity, she's not Wu Ge's trainer, so how could she command Wu Ge in battle?

"You are so confident and beautiful! Under this starry night sky, I wish I could become the most inconspicuous star, just to silently protect your light."

"Defeat the Lizard King first."

The orchid lowered its head and sighed.

She just wanted this farce to end as soon as possible.

If possible, she hoped Wu Ge could be more ruthless, making Louis realize that the gap between them was enormous.

"In that case, Lizard King, let's begin!"

Louis straightened his clothes, looked at Wu Ge standing opposite him, and his expression became serious.

"Although you are the Pokémon of the Orchid, I am first and foremost a trainer. In any battle, Garchomp and I will go all out, so I will not hold back."

"Just to my liking."

Wu Ge twisted his wrist, took a step, and rushed out.

"Garuda, use Aerial Ace!"

"Quack!"

With a roar, Garchomp charged forward with heavy yet rapid steps.

'He's quite capable.'

Wu Ge murmured to himself.

The difference in attributes between Sceptile and Garchomp is not significant.

If we had to say something, Sceptile would have a slight advantage, since Garchomp's Ground-type moves deal half the damage to Sceptile.

However, Louis clearly has extensive experience in combat.

He knows this very well.

Therefore, they chose to let Garchomp use Flying-type moves that are effective against Grass-type moves.

Rather than the Dragon or Ground types that individuals are better at.

However, Wu Ge had no intention of going head-to-head with Garchomp.

Garchomp can be said to be a Pokémon born for head-on confrontations.

Whether it's the base Attack and Speed ​​stats of 130 and 102 respectively, or the 'Rough Skin' ability, it's all designed for head-on confrontations.

Wu Ge had no intention of charging headlong into his opponent's trap.

This is a forest.

It's his home court.

We need to make good use of our home advantage.

Seeing the Garchomp hurtling towards him like a truck, Wu Ge lightly touched the ground with his feet and leaped onto a nearby tree.

next moment.

Fifty or sixty lizard kings suddenly appeared on the canopy of the dozen or so surrounding trees.

"Garuda, use Sand Abyss!"

Louis reacted quickly and calmly.

When he fights seriously, he is completely different from his sycophantic self.

Garchomp stomped one foot on the ground and raised both hands, sending waves of sand and dust sweeping in all directions.

Gravel flew everywhere, swirling around the trees and whipping up countless leaves. In an instant, large swathes of the Lizard King's clones were pulverized.

'sharp.'

Standing atop the canopy of a tree, Wu Ge muttered something under his breath.

He never expected that he could use the Quicksand Abyss technique to eliminate a large number of clones at once.

The main reason is that too much time has passed.

He had forgotten some of the moves that Pokémon could use.

This caused him to overlook that Garchomp also has a wide-area attack like Sand Abyss.

but
The desired effect has been achieved.

Staring at the Garchomp standing cautiously below, Wu Ge quietly stopped his eerie dance.

This Garchomp is around level 55, and in the past year and a half of wandering around, its level has gradually reached level 60, which is considered to be entering the Gym level.

Logically speaking.

Wu Ge doesn't need to use Dragon Dance or Swords Dance at all to defeat this Garchomp.

But the problem is.

Only after using it could he severely beat Garchomp, causing Louis to suffer a great blow and return to his arduous training for many years, no longer disturbing the Phalaenopsis.

"Now it's my turn to make a move."

Wu Ge stretched and leaped downwards.

"Garuda, it's coming up here! Use Dig!"

"Gawoo".

Upon hearing Louis's voice, Garchomp didn't even raise its head; it immediately used Dig to burrow underground.

Immediately afterwards, a violent and surging torrent of leaves fell from the sky, crashing into the ground and creating a crater.

However, Garchomp's digging speed was fast enough to successfully evade the attack.

"It's not over yet."

earthquake!

As Wu Ge descended from the sky, his feet were filled with orange-yellow energy.

boom!
The giant lizard king landed on the ground, immediately creating shockwaves across the earth.

A year and a half ago, Wu Ge learned this lesson from Longlongyan in Songyan.

next moment.

Garchomp was thrown off the ground, feeling dizzy and disoriented.

Although he has the Ground type, he has no resistance to Ground-type moves.

"Garuda, Fire Fang!"

Louis's voice rang out.

Swish!
Flames erupted in Garchomp's mouth almost instantly.

However, just as he opened his mouth, Wu Ge leaped to his side and swept his tail across his chin.

Hardship and refinement.

Brilliant speed.

A dragon tail that is twice as effective.

In addition, Dragon Fang's damage is increased by 20%, and Sword Dance and Dragon Dance are enhanced.

This must have made Garchomp incredibly happy.

but.

As the tail lashed out, Wu Ge felt a pain in his own tail, and even lost some leaves.

Just as he initially suspected.

This Garchomp's defining characteristic is its rough skin.

No wonder Louis used some clumsy close-range moves to attack before; it seems he really wanted to put Garchomp's ability to good use.

"It's almost time to wrap this up."

Wu Ge opened his mouth, and a pale purple energy ball condensed inside.

He planned to use Dragon Pulse to deliver the final blow to Garchomp.

This move shouldn't be enough to incapacitate Garchomp on the spot, but it's enough to make Louis concede defeat.

"Spray flames!"

"Roar!"

Wow!
The sudden burst of flames made Wu Ge grit his teeth and leap backward.

The gathering of dragon-type energy failed, and the dragon's energy fluctuation could not be released.

The fire-type moves caused considerable damage to Wu Ge.

He really hadn't expected that Garchomp would still react so quickly even in its current state.

Moreover, the synergy between Louis and Garchomp is simply too strong.

The moment Louis speaks, Garchomp will immediately unleash its attack, with almost no delay.

Although Wu Ge could hear Louis's words, they lacked tacit understanding.

Therefore, its reaction speed is slower than Garchomp's, making it unable to avoid attacks in advance.

"Big characters burst into flames!"

"Quack!"

A huge flame, shaped like the Chinese character "大" (big), hurtled towards Wu Ge.

Rock blockade.

Wu Ge lifted one foot and stomped heavily on the ground.

BOOM BOOM BOOM xN!

One after another, giant rocks rose from the ground, blocking the path of the giant flames.

The flames struck the boulder, creating a violent explosion and sending a wave of heat through the surrounding area.

"Up there! Swallow Return!"

Garchomp pushed off with its feet and crashed into Wu Ge, who was pouncing from above the boulder.

True Qi Fist.

Wu Ge clenched his right fist and smashed it towards the head of the charging Garchomp.

call out!
The two passed each other, moving so fast that Louis and Phalaenopsis could not see them.

Although Phalaenopsis felt that Wu Ge was not seriously injured and would not fall down even if he took this hit.

But she couldn't help but feel a little nervous, staring intently at the field and barely daring to breathe.

Both sides landed.

Garchomp grinned, pounced forward, and lay on the ground, its eyes darting around.

On the other side, Wu Ge rubbed his stomach.

"Ouch, that hurts!"

Wu Ge grinned and looked down at his abdomen.

Some parts are bluish.

The scratches on the skin from being bitten twice by Garchomp are minor; at most, there will be some scratches on the tail and fists.

Taking a direct hit from both Flamethrower and Aerial Ace, both of which are effective against Grass-type moves, is definitely not a pleasant experience.

"A near-god!"

Wu Ge exhaled and began to use self-regeneration to restore his body.

Garchomp's Attack stat total of 130 is truly terrifying.

The physical attack Swallow Return, which should only deal 60 damage, was more effective on Wu Ge than the special attack Flame Jet, which dealt 90 damage.

A green glow emanated from Wu Ge's body.

The red and blue areas on his body recovered to a relatively healthy state at a speed visible to the naked eye.

After the battle.

Masked Cat rushed to Wu Ge's side immediately and quickly checked on his condition.

The Garchomp's flamethrower had startled her.

Masked Meow knew that it was very painful for the two Grass-type Pokémon to be attacked by Fire-type moves.

"Meow?"

Masked Cat asks Wu Ge if his body is in a lot of pain.

"It's okay, it's almost done."

Wu Ge shook his head casually.

This pain is nothing compared to the real pain I felt when I fought Beedrill with the body of a Dragonite in my past life.

Especially when the two stingers of the giant bee pierced deep into his stomach.

The pain was so intense that he wished he could die and be reborn immediately.

Looking back now, he doesn't know how he managed to get through it.

If it were my former self when I was still human, I would never have been able to endure such pain.

"I lost."

Louis has already recalled Garchomp into its Poké Ball.

"You must remember what we agreed on."

The orchid strode over, arms crossed over its chest, head held high.

"Of course, I mean what I say, and I wholeheartedly admit defeat to your Lizard King; he was simply too strong."

Louis sighed and shook his head.
"Phalaenopsis, I never expected you to be such an outstanding Grass-type Trainer. You really impress me."

"You're not planning to keep bothering me, are you?"

The orchid frowned.

"No, I will go back and ask my grandfather to annul the engagement, then I will devote myself to cultivation and become a stronger man. Then, will I have another chance to pursue you?"

".Can't."

"Okay, but please believe me, no one in this world likes you more than I do!"

After saying those words, Louis turned and left.

His back view was quite decisive.

That's just so awkward.

"He doesn't seem like a bad guy, and he's quite good at thinking like a trainer."

Wu Ge watched Louis leave and made a comment.

This is his heartfelt feeling.

Although Matsuoka's Pokémon is of a higher level, Luigi's leadership skills as a trainer are slightly better than Matsuoka's.

It's possible that because Songyan, as the leader of the gathering team, battles more with wild Pokémon in the mines and caves, and less with trainers.

Louis's journey has likely involved mostly battles against various trainers.

The fact that he could immediately identify Sceptile and Meowth shows that Louis has a thorough understanding of various Pokémon.

He may have even traveled to the regions of Hoenn and Padiya.

This is why Song Yan's command was not as flexible as Louis's.

If Louis' Garchomp had the same rank as Golem.

So, it will probably take Wu Ge a tremendous amount of effort to win this battle.

"Louis graduated from the Combat Studies program at Orange Academy, which has since been renamed the PvP program. He has a wealth of PvP experience, and I was a little worried at first."

Phalaenopsis breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at Wu Ge.

"No wonder."

Wu Ge nodded, thinking that this was more normal.

Orange Academy is a gathering place for aristocratic students from all over the world, so it's not unusual to see Pokémon from any region there.

Moreover, these students are not short of money.

Therefore, there is no shortage of resources for raising Pokémon.

"The Lizard King."

Phalaenopsis walked up to Wu Ge and hugged him.

"No need for thanks, we're friends, and you've helped me a lot."

"You're so handsome!"

The orchid looked up, grinned, and smiled at him.

"If you were a human, perhaps I would fall in love with you."

"Are you confessing your feelings? It's making me feel really embarrassed."

Wu Ge scratched his face and glanced to the side with an embarrassed look.

If a Pokémon confesses its feelings to him, he'll probably just be stunned for a moment, and won't feel shy.

Because in his eyes, Pokémon are not suitable as potential spouses.

But Phalaenopsis orchids are different.

He could clearly appreciate the beauty and charm of Phalaenopsis orchids.

She's practically a married woman version of Cynthia.

"Meow"

Masked Cat's cold voice came from the side.

Wu Ge and Phalaenopsis both froze for a moment.

Wu Ge turned his head to look, but noticed something different.

That means Masked Cat doesn't seem to particularly dislike Phalaenopsis orchids.

In other words, at least in Masked Cat's case, Phalaenopsis Orchid has the right to be the 'stepmother'.

"Meow."

Masked Cat turned its head away, deciding to ignore them.

"Eh~" x2
Wu Ge and Phalaenopsis both exclaimed in surprise.

They seem to have discovered something.

Masked Meow's possessiveness toward Wu Ge seems to be directed more at other Pokémon.

For humans, the reaction is not as strong.
