Pokémon: The Sims.

Chapter 176 Let Us Give You Special Training
After leaving the snow-capped mountains.

Wu Ge and Masked Cat followed Liz's phantom toward Zhuqing City.

"This time, it should be time to leave Sinnoh and head to the next region."

Wu Ge recalled the plot in his mind.

Liz should have already taken care of most of the matters in the Xicui area.

So the next step should be to continue north.

As for the Southern Hemisphere, the next region is...
Carlos region.

Walking from near Snowpeak City to Lucky City is quite a long distance, spanning most of the Sinnoh region.

They traveled slowly through Zhuqing City, taking more than a month to reach it.

Crossing mountains and valleys along this route was no easy feat.

"Meow?"

Masked Cat tilted its head, and a little light appeared in its eyes.

She felt excited and thrilled when she heard that she was going to the next region.

Although there are still many places in the Sinnoh region that she hasn't visited.

But I've already seen many of those Pokémon.

She wants to go to other regions and make friends with other Pokémon she's never seen before!
"Before we leave Sinnoh, let's say hello to Yamanashi. He's taken care of us before."

"Meow~"

Masked Cat nodded quickly.

Zhuqing City is very large and has many delicious restaurants.

Most importantly, Yamanashi is very generous and will take them to eat lots of delicious food.

Masked Cat wasn't looking forward to seeing Yamanashi again; she was hoping Yamanashi would treat her to a meal.

To put it bluntly, Yamanashi didn't really interact with Masked Cat much.

He's too enthusiastic about battling to be interested in Rua Masked Cat like Orchid is, so their relationship isn't as good as Orchid's with Masked Cat.

Entering Zhuqing City.

Wu Ge and Masked Cat did not head towards Yamanashi's house.

It's daytime now, so going to Yamanashi's house will most likely result in disappointment.

However, going to the training ground would most likely result in disappointment.

"Huh?! It's the Lizard King and Masked Cat!"

A passerby recognized them along the way.

Don't say it.

Nowadays, Wu Ge and Masked Meow are considered to be two celebrities in the Sinnoh region.

Because combinations like theirs are so rare.

Moreover, they always carry strange pendants, making them very distinctive.

Such as today.

Under Masked Cat's persistent requests, Wu Ge put on the cat-themed matching outfit he had bought earlier.

Both sets are light green plush pajamas.

So they stand out on the street.

It's quite rare to see a Pokémon wearing clothes, and it's very interesting.

Something worth mentioning.

After putting on this outfit, Masked Cat especially liked to stick close to Wu Ge.

Perhaps it's because Wu Ge has become like a big cat.

I just stepped outside the training field.

Then Yamanashi's voice came.

"Turtle!! Can it hold on?"

"Oh? Looks like we're going to lose. By the way, Turtwig has evolved into Torterra."

Upon hearing the voice, Wu Ge grinned, recalling the appearance of the earth turtle.

Its enormous body, resembling a beautiful garden, and its shape like an armored dragon, captivated Wu Ge's heart back then.

"Meow?"

Masked Cat tilted its head in confusion.

Come to think of it, she's been traveling for so long and has never seen a single mud turtle.

but.

The sounds that followed disgusted both Wu Ge and Masked Cat.

"Give up. With your skill level, you'll never be my match in this lifetime. And your Torterra is weak and powerless. I think you should just get rid of it and raise a new Pokémon instead."

A girl's voice came from the training ground.

Judging from her voice alone, she is clearly a sweet and lovely young girl.

What came out, however, was not very pleasant to hear.

but.

In the future, many trainers will probably say this.

"Meow."

"Go and have a look."

Wu Ge and Masked Cat headed towards the training ground.

The training ground was as lively as ever, with the intensity of the battles even greater than before.

But it's a pity.

Yamanashi and Turtle were defeated.

The Earth-Turtle's eyes darted around; it was too exhausted to continue fighting.

And across from them.

She is a twin-tailed loli with light purple hair.

It's only early spring, and she's already wearing a shirt and a miniskirt, proving she's a ruthless person who prioritizes style over warmth.

Let's look at her Pokémon.

It is a Poison/Fighting-type Toxicroak.

One of them wasn't particularly attractive.

A Pokémon that seems somewhat out of place for a female trainer.

Judging from the way this girl with pigtails dresses, she must care a lot about her appearance.

However, they ended up choosing Toxtricity Frog, a Pokémon that isn't particularly good-looking.

"Tsk, Poison and Fighting, its type is almost the same as Torterra, and Torterra even has a slight advantage, yet it still lost?"

Wu Ge glanced at it twice and shook his head.

It shouldn't be easy for Toxtricity to defeat Torterra.

But why did Yamanashi lose?

Could it be that this kid is really bad?

"Cuckoo!"

The red vocal cords beneath the poisonous skeletal frog bulged, producing a sound that made one's stomach churn.

This is the cheers of the Poison Skull Frog after its victory. "Well done, Poison Skull Frog, come back!"

The girl recalled the Toxtricity to its Poké Ball, then looked at Yamanashi opposite her.
"I'll be staying in this city for the next week. If you're not satisfied, you're welcome to challenge me anytime. And if you lose, I'll still humiliate you severely, understand?"

After saying those words, the girl turned and left.

“Why reward him?”

Beside Wu Ge, a middle-aged man with a receding hairline muttered something.

Wu Ge quickly and discreetly pulled Masked Cat to another spot.

"Meow?"

Masked Cat pointed at the dejected Yamanashi on the field.

"Don't go to him yet, he needs to be alone for a while."

Wu Ge shook his head, watching Yamanashi take the Poké Ball and head towards the Pokémon Hospital.

"Meow?"

"What's the point of us intervening? This won't convince that brat. We need Yamanashi and Tsuchitai-kun to defeat them themselves."

Wu Ge shrugged.

Even if they fought the poisonous skeletal frog and won, it would be meaningless.

They are not Yamanashi's Pokémon.

and.

The fact that Wu Ge defeated Song Yan a year and a half ago was known even in remote towns in the Sinnoh region, not to mention in the city of Jubilee where the incident occurred.

I reckon a lot of trainers will recognize him as soon as he steps onto the field.

Even if we defeat the Poison Skull Frog like this, we might still be accused of bullying the weak by others.

"Meow"

"The only thing we can do is help the Earth-type Tortoise become stronger, but to be honest, that's really not easy."

Wu Ge shrugged and sighed.

Wu Ge and Masked Cat have the same fighting style.

With unpredictable attack methods and incredible speed, they launched a rapid and relentless offensive, like a torrential downpour.

The Earth-based tortoise is the complete opposite.

He takes the initiative to attack, but there's a high probability that his moves will be dodged by the Poison Skull Frog. He's more likely to be on the defensive and wait for an opportunity to launch a counterattack.

Two completely different styles.

Wu Ge was genuinely puzzled about how to help the Earth Platform Turtle become stronger.

Fortunately, he only needs to consider how to deal with the Pokémon Toxtricity.

The difficulty level has also been reduced considerably.

"Let's follow them first. I think Yamanashi will be happy to see us."

Wu Ge raised his chin.

Leading the masked cat, they slowly followed in the direction Yamanashi had left.

When Yamanashi came out of the Pokémon Hospital with a Poké Ball.

Upon seeing the two Wu Ges and the masked cat standing at the door, their eyes first lit up, then dimmed again.

"You see? I'm on the training field."

"Yes, I saw it."

Wu Ge nodded.

"Hehe, how embarrassing! Sigh."

Yamanashi scratched the back of his head with a wry smile, then his smile faded, and he forced a twitch at the corner of his mouth.

Am I really a qualified trainer?

"Idiot, what are you saying?"

When Wu Ge heard Yamanashi questioning him like that, he patted him on the head without any hesitation.
"As long as a Pokémon likes you, you are a qualified trainer. I think you know best how much Torterra likes you."

"Hmm, Sceptile, I think I can understand you a little now? Am I really a qualified trainer? I performed terribly in that battle just now."

"Defeat is just a process that every trainer and Pokémon has to go through."

Wu Ge shrugged, thinking it was just a minor issue.

A bug that suddenly appeared at the Sinnoh Lily of the Valley Conference: the legendary Pokémon Darkrope.

Darkrai, who won all the way to the semifinals from the gym battles, was also defeated by Sceptile's Leaf Blade.

"Meow meow."

Masked Cat nodded in agreement.

Think about how many opponents Wu Ge brought to her along the way, opponents who were five or six levels higher than her.

Despite failing time and time again, I've still grown into who I am today.

"Are you trying to comfort me? Thank you. I'm not so easily discouraged. I will definitely become a very powerful Pokémon Trainer!"

Yamanashi held up the Pokémon in his hand and squeezed it tightly.

"Turtle Terrace, we still need to keep working hard."

"Let us give you special training."

Wu Ge reached out and patted Yamanashi on the shoulder.

"Eh?"

Yamanashi was stunned for a moment, somewhat confused.

"Special training for combat."

Wu Ge waved his fist and pointed to the Poké Ball containing Torterra.

"Lizard King, you mean you're going to help us with the training?!"

Yamanashi's eyes gradually brightened, and his voice became somewhat excited and trembling.

This made it impossible for him not to be excited.

After all, this is the Lizard King in front of us.

However, the Pokémon that defeated the League's collection team leader a year and a half ago is so powerful that the entire Sinnoh League has heard of it!

Moreover, according to insider information...

Wu Ge is a Pokémon that was chosen by the Nurse Joy family, which speaks volumes about its potential.

"Ah."

Wu Ge pursed her lips and nodded.

"Great! Hahaha! Torterra, we can defeat that guy!"

Yamanashi jumped more than two meters high on the spot.

This made Wu Ge's eyes widen in surprise.

If this happened a thousand years ago in the Warcraft era, it wouldn't be surprising.

The humans of a thousand years ago had physical strength that was like that of monsters. They were at least at the level of ordinary rookies, if not super rookies.

It's terrifying that Yamanashi has now risen to this level.

really.

Humans in the Pokémon world can also be considered a kind of Pokémon.
