Pokémon: The Sims.

Chapter 172 Volcanic Eruption?!
Wu Ge and Masked Cat walked down the street and then entered a large shopping mall.

They usually come to these large shopping malls to exchange goods with humans.

Because it's inside the shopping mall.

You can buy all the items you need.

Buy everything at once, and you won't need to run around everywhere anymore.

Moreover, the shops in these large shopping malls generally do not refuse barter.

The only downside is that the mall is too crowded.

Wherever he and the masked cat went.

A large group of people followed them wherever they went.

It's so interesting to see Pokémon from other regions wandering around shopping malls on their own; I have to take a closer look.

That's probably the mindset of this group of people.

Fortunately, Wu Ge and Masked Cat are immune to this kind of thing.

They can now stroll around on their own without being affected by the people around them at all.

While passing by a clothing store, Masked Cat suddenly stopped and reached out to grab Wu Ge.

"Meow."

Masked Cat seemed to have taken a liking to a certain piece of clothing and pulled Wu Ge towards the store.

"Oh? What style of clothes would these two guests like? Our shop can custom-make them for you!"

The store manager is a woman in her thirties.

Although she's not young, she's very good at makeup and dressing up.

She looks like a woman in her late twenties.

Moreover, the proprietress was very clever. When she saw Wu Ge and Masked Cat bringing such a large group of people over, she immediately started promoting her own products.

On the surface, he was talking to Wu Ge and Masked Cat.

Actually, he was talking to other people.

After all, Pokémon doesn't understand terms like 'style' or 'customization'.

"Meow~"

Masked Cat dragged Wu Ge along and rushed to the two mannequins, pointing to the clothes on them.

"These are pajamas."

Wu Ge glanced at it twice, then scratched his head speechlessly.

The two outfits that Masked Cat has her eye on are a set of matching pajamas featuring a big cat and a little cat.

It's made of pure cotton, thick, and looks like it would be very warm to wear.

"Meow!"

Masked Cat doesn't know what pajamas are; she just wants these two.

In her eyes, they were all clothes, things worn on the body.

"Okay, I'll go and discuss it with the landlady."

Wu Ge shook his head, and could only agree to ask the landlady for help.

The proprietress was a smart woman; she immediately understood what Wu Ge meant after he gestured a couple of times.

"Oh dear~ Why change? No need to change. Auntie will have someone make a set for each of you. Come back in five days and you should be able to get them."

The proprietress wrapped her arms around Wu Ge's, appearing quite affectionate.
"However, in a couple of days, you two can do Auntie a favor. Wear these clothes and play in the house for a while. Auntie will prepare some delicious food for you and give you some small gifts later."

"Hehe, okay, thank you, Auntie."

Wu Ge grinned and couldn't help but nod with a smile.

He naturally understood the proprietress's intention: she wanted the two of them to help her with a small advertisement.

This is not a problem.

The proprietress gave them custom-made clothes, food, and small gifts.
Being a model for half an hour is not excessive at all.

You should know that making clothes for Wu Ge and Masked Cat was no easy task.

Especially Wu Ge, who is over three meters tall.

This garment also needs to have holes so that the leaves and tail can go out; it's quite troublesome to make.

"That's great! Thank you so much. Please wait a moment while I take your measurements."

The proprietress jumped up and down happily, then immediately ran to get the measuring tape.

Then Wu Ge and Masked Cat stood still and asked the proprietress to help measure their body measurements so that the clothes could be made.

In just a short while.

The store was already surrounded by layers of people.

Quite a few customers actually took a liking to the clothes in the store.

In particular, many customers are planning to buy the parent-child set that Wu Ge and Masked Cat chose.

Ms. Officer Jenny from Snowpeak City was drawn by the commotion and arrived late with her Growlithe.

The proprietress was delighted to see this, her mouth agape.

When Wu Ge and Masked Cat were about to leave.

She also took her two darlings to the Pokémon snack shop next door and bought two large bags of Grass-type snacks for them.

After all that, Masked Cat's mood suddenly became exceptionally wonderful.

If it weren't for the large group of people following us...

Masked Cat has definitely started singing.

"That's great, it saves us the trouble of buying food. This much food will last us for half a month."

Wu Ge weighed the two bags of food in his hands.

That's really quite heavy.

Moreover, most Pokémon food is compressed.

Some foods are just tiny grains, but eating them can provide a small Snorlax with a full meal.

"Meow?"

"Hmm, I need to buy some more sheets and blankets. A regular sleeping bag probably won't fit me."

Wu Ge pondered for a moment.

In the past, when we lived in the wild, we could sleep directly on the grass or even on the ground without any problem.

But this time it didn't work.

If you don't put something on the ice, you might just fall asleep right there.

"Meow."

Masked Cat nodded.

Suddenly, both Masked Cat and Wu Ge's expressions changed simultaneously.

Not only them, but many Pokémon in Snowpeak City suddenly became restless.

"Meow!"

Masked Cat raised its hand and pointed south.

Wu Ge looked in that direction and his eyes widened immediately.

Near Tianguan Mountain, a small to medium-sized extinct volcano was continuously emitting grayish-white smoke. Wisps of white smoke rose into the sky, reaching hundreds of meters high.

It didn't take long.

The funnel-shaped crater began to overflow with streams of molten lava.

The lava flows converged, forming many dark red lava flows on the hillside.

"Basic magma, this is bad, many Pokémon are going to be in trouble."

Wu Ge watched the lava rolling down the hillside and couldn't help but swallow hard.

Basic magma does not erupt directly from the mantle.

Therefore, the eruption force is not great; it is more like an overflowing stream of water.

However, the amount of lava that erupted was quite astonishing.

Furthermore, these magmas have low viscosity and high fluidity.

Therefore, when basic magma erupts, it will create a scene of lava flow like a flood, rushing down thousands of miles.

Keep it up like this.

The Pokémon on that volcano will probably all lose their home.

Not only that, the environment of the area around the foot of the mountain will likely change drastically.

Once the magma cools down, it will turn into black magma rock covering the surface, forming a desolate and barren landscape.

"Meow."

"It won't affect Xuefeng City, as it's quite far away."

Wu Ge shook his head.

The volcano is located on the outermost edge of Tianguan Mountain, not actually far from Xuefeng City, but the lava doesn't flow here.

Not to mention the distance of several kilometers as the crow flies.

The uneven terrain and the snow covering the entire land made it impossible for cooled lava to break through.

"Meow."

"It's quite spectacular, a kind of wonder."

Wu Ge nodded, glanced at it twice, and turned to leave.

"Let's go. It's nothing special. If we don't set off soon, we'll have to travel at night again. Night roads in the snow are not easy to travel. We might get attacked by a few Weavile like last night."

"Meow~"

Masked Cat stubbornly shook its head, clinging to Wu Ge's arm and refusing to let go.

"Are you planning to stay here for hours on end?"

"Meow"

Masked Cat squeezed out a few tears, looking at Wu Ge with a pitiful expression.

This was the first time she had ever seen such a spectacle since she was born, and she was so captivated that she couldn't move.

"Then you grab my tail, and I'll lead you by the hand. You can look back yourself."

Wu Ge sighed and raised his tail.

This kind of thing has happened more than once or twice.

Cats are very curious.

Whenever Masked Cat becomes curious about something, Wu Ge uses this method to pull her away.

After leaving Xuefeng City, they headed southwest.

That's the direction where the igloo is located.

When Wu Ge and Masked Cat arrived nearby.

They immediately spotted Regice sitting in front of the igloo.

"Regice~ We're back~"

Wu Ge raised his hand in greeting from afar.

"."

Regice did not respond, but stood up and waved his hand in return.

"Go inside first."

Wu Ge waved and led Regice into the house.

"Masked Cat?"

"Meow meow~"

Masked Cat wanted to stand outside and continue watching the volcano.

"Ok."

Wu Ge responded with a sentence, and then found a corner to put all the things he had bought away.

"Let's lay out the mattress and everything first. It's a good thing the air in Sinnoh is dry, otherwise it would definitely get damp very quickly."

Wu Ge took out the beds he had bought and laid them out on the floor one by one.

Because of his large size, he often buys two sets.

"By the way, I didn't buy them for you. After all, they would freeze immediately if you touched them. Once you learn to control the cold air, you can be like me."

"Leji".

Regice obediently responded.

He stood quietly in the corner of the igloo, watching Wu Ge busy himself there.

He was someone who wanted to help but couldn't.

Moreover, for Regice, even just watching Wu Ge busy himself was quite interesting.

At least it's better than sleeping all the time and having someone sitting blankly at the entrance of the igloo.

"And the oil lamp, we need to put that away properly too, otherwise it will be too dark in the room."

Wu Ge took out a small lamp.

Hang it on the ice sculpture that Regice had previously created.

Suddenly the interior of the igloo became bright.

"Leji".

Regice saw a lamp for the first time.

He carefully leaned closer to take a look and thought the warm yellow light was very beautiful.

Then He suddenly remembered something and pointed to the bag in the corner to Wu Ge.

"Oh~ you protected him very well, thank you, Regice."

"Leji".

Regice scratched his head sheepishly.

He felt that he hadn't done much to protect anyone; he had just been sitting at the door.

"By the way, what was that earthquake and the volcanic eruption all about? Have you ever seen anything like that before?"

　Chinese New Year is almost here, everyone remember to buy new clothes and new pants!
