Pokémon: The Sims.

Chapter 181 Reunion with Friends
Leaving Zhuqing City once again.

There was no special farewell.

Because as long as we are alive, there will always be a time when we meet again.

However, the huge amount of stuff that Yamanashi bought for Wu Ge and Masked Cat was indeed a headache.

Yamanashi is not as delicate as Phalaenopsis orchids.

He doesn't really consider what the two Pokémon might need during their journey.

So I bought a whole bunch of all sorts of random things.

After picking and choosing, there were just enough useful items left to fill two backpacks.

Yamanashi originally planned to buy some more.

But Wu Ge stopped him.

The contents of two backpacks are enough.

No matter how much they have, they can't take it away.

Especially for things like various medications, just bring a little bit of each to be ready for emergencies.

With their knowledge, they could easily gather a large amount of tree fruits and herbs in the wild if they wanted.

After departing from Zhuqing City.

All the way north.

It took two months.

It was early summer of the 25th year of the Alliance Calendar, and Wu Ge and Masked Cat had both been in this world for five years.

They arrived at the northernmost coast of Sinnoh.

Standing on the shore, gazing silently at the endless icy ocean before me.

The ocean north of Sinnoh is lighter in color and appears cleaner.

Occasionally, some ice floes can be seen drifting across the sea, while further away, the sea is shrouded in white mist, making it difficult to see clearly.

"Meow?"

Masked Cat looked at Wu Ge beside him with a puzzled expression.

"do not know."

Wu Ge shook his head.

He didn't know how the two Grass-type Pokémon were going to cross this icy ocean.

Anyway, it's within his field of vision.

Liz, with the help of the people of the Green Mist, boarded a ship that was not slow and disappeared into the white mist.

"Meow?"

Masked Cat mentioned it briefly.

They asked Wu Ge if he wanted to go to Xuefeng City to see if he could get some help.

"Hmm, it seems like this is the only way."

Wu Ge raised his head and pondered for a moment.

Going to Xuefeng City should be the fastest way.

Xuefeng City is not far from their location; it's only a two- or three-hour drive away.

Ever since.

Wu Ge and Masked Cat turned around, preparing to return to Xuefeng City again.

That's when.

"Hey~"

A melodious and familiar song drifted from the distant white mist.

"Meow?!"

The masked cat's ears perked up, and it suddenly turned around.

She could tell!
That's the sound of riding a dragon!
"Hmph, what a coincidence. With the weather warming up, have the Dragon Clan begun their northward migration?"

Wu Ge also recognized it.

The voice has changed slightly since then.

But you can still tell that it's Xiao Chenglong's voice.

It's like things have gone from being vague to becoming clear.

"Meow meow~"

Masked Cat quickly turned around and stood on the shore, shouting loudly into the distance.

The sound from the distant white mist paused.

An excited response followed immediately.

"Hey~"

Wow~
Wow~
The sound of waves crashing grew closer and closer.

Gradually, a group of dragon riders emerged from the white mist.

Standing at the very front.

It was none other than the little dragon that Wu Ge and Masked Cat had met back then.

The little dragon is not so small now.

It has already reached a height of 2.3 meters.

Although her stats are still below the average in the encyclopedia, she is, after all, a girl, so it's considered normal.

"Meow!"

The moment Masked Cat saw Lapras, it excitedly climbed onto Wu Ge's shoulder.

She stood on Wu Ge's shoulders, waving and calling out to Chenglong in the distance.

"Hey~"

The dragon swimming on the sea surface was so happy that it forgot itself.

Although Masked Cat looks very different from Tille Cat back then, Lapras still recognized his little sister immediately.

She flapped her four fins rapidly across the surface of the sea, seemingly trying to increase her speed.

However, due to excessive excitement, the rhythm was disrupted, and he was unable to move forward. This made Chenglong increasingly anxious, and tears began to well up in his eyes.

Helpless, Chenglong's mother could only nudge her precious daughter with her head from behind.

"Haha, still so prone to crying."

Upon seeing this, Wu Ge couldn't help but grin.

"Meow meow~"

Masked Cat shook its head and shrugged.

Back then, she was just a new Leaf Cat, a little crybaby just like Little Dragon.

However, Masked Cat doesn't cry anymore these days.

Even when she cries, it's mostly an act for Wu Ge's benefit.

But Chenglong still cries all the time.

The distance is slowly closing.

As the Dragon Clan approached the coast.

Masked Cat immediately jumped off Wu Ge's shoulder.

Riding the dragon flapped its fins and quickly swam over.

Snapped!
Lapras caught Masked Cat perfectly.

"Meow~"

Masked Cat stretched out its arms and wrapped the dragon's big head in its embrace.

"Hey~"

Lapras kept rubbing its head against Masked Cat.

It's a taste she knows very well~
"Hey~"

Then, Chenglong raised his head and called out to Wu Ge, who was still on the shore.

"Long time no see, Chenglong, you've grown up."

Wu Ge grinned and waved his arm.

He stood on the shore and glanced around. Nearly five years had passed.

The size of the dragon race has expanded.

The number has increased from seven or eight to fourteen or fifteen.

But you can tell just by looking at those unfamiliar faces.

It wasn't that the original dragon race had seven or eight more offspring, but rather that they encountered another dragon race along the way, and the two races merged together.

That's how the quantity doubled.

This is probably also due to the relatively friendly nature of human society during this period.

If we go back another fifty or a hundred years, we probably wouldn't be able to see the Dragon Clan again today.

However, what made Wu Ge feel somewhat regretful was...
The old lamellar chieftain who carried him from Scorpion Island to Jihua City is no longer visible.

Nowadays, it seems that the chieftain of the dragon race has been replaced by a strong, male dragon.

With the added bonus of being labeled a "leader," it stands over five meters tall, and its stature is comparable to that of the old Chenglong.

The little dragon from back then is no longer the smallest one.

Smaller, more favored new offspring have emerged in the group.

"Hey?"

Lapras asked Masked Cat a question.

Ask them what they are doing here?
This kind of place should be very unfriendly to Grass-type Pokémon.

"Meow."

Masked Cat shrugged and pointed north.

"Ying ying."

Chenglong smiled and said that they could help Wu Ge and Masked Cat.

“We’re planning to travel all the way north from Sinnoh to the next region, which is at least 10,000 kilometers. It will be very tiring for you to carry me.”

Wu Ge shook his head, declining Cheng Long's offer.

10,000 kilometers.

Even if you travel in a straight line, that's still a quarter of a planet's distance.

This is equivalent to the time when the Lapras clan migrated from the South Sea of ​​Johto to the North Sea of ​​Sinnoh.

The Dragon Clan is not very fast to begin with; it would take them two or three months just to travel this distance on their own.

If we also bring along Wu Ge, that big guy.

The time consumed has increased at least several times over.

Because out of all these dragons, only one dragon clan leader could carry him.

and.

The movement of a camel is one thing.

How long you need to walk with a hunchback before you need to rest is another matter.

Wu Ge is now 3.8 meters tall and weighs 150 kg, which is equivalent to one-third of the weight of a dragon chieftain.

It's like a 150-kilogram human male carrying a 50-kilogram organism on his back.

"嘤嘤!"

Xiao Chenglong became very anxious when he saw that Wu Ge had rejected him.

She was very determined to help Wu Ge and Masked Cat.

This is not just to repay Wu Ge and Masked Cat for their help back then.

It's also so that I can travel with them again.

"Hey~"

At this moment, the Dragon Clan Chief spoke up.

He actually did have a solution to this problem.

"Hey!"

The chieftain of the dragon clan beckoned several dragons to leave.

The remaining group of dragons stayed where they were.

Masked Cat chatted with Dragon throughout the time, telling each other stories about what had happened to them over the years.

When talking about Regice.

Even the other dragons were shocked when they heard this.

They had been swimming in the ocean for so long and had never seen such a magical Pokémon.

Wu Ge and Masked Cat also learned about some things that happened in other parts of the world from the Dragon Clan.

One thing that really bothered Wu Ge was this.

Little Dragon said.

A year ago, on a night when they were migrating north from that very hot sea area, they encountered a super huge black Pokémon.

The Pokémon leaped out of the ocean, its body measuring hundreds of meters in length.

This made Wu Ge wary.

It is several hundred meters long.

There's an 80% chance that some mythical beast has appeared.

Very hot sea areas should be those near the tropics and subtropics.

You can limit the region to the five major regions of Hoenn, Orange Islands, Alola, Galar, and Orei.

As for 'black'.

This point cannot be used as a basis for Wu Ge's judgment.

Because that Pokémon emerged from the sea in the dark.

In the darkness of the sea, even white appears gray.

Then consider 'leaping out of the sea'.

Wu Ge thinks it's most likely Kyogre or Lugia.

Krogia was seriously injured hundreds of years ago and has not appeared since. Wu Ge felt that the probability of him appearing was very small.

Therefore, it is highly likely that Kyogre appeared in the waters near Hoenn.

Even if it's not a mythical beast.

That would definitely be a sea overlord that has lived for thousands of years.

After learning from Dragonite that Tyranitar, the former ruler of Mt. Silver, was tens of meters tall, he felt that this was possible.

For example, dominant creatures like Gyarados and Milotic could potentially reach lengths of several hundred meters.

But whether it's a mythical beast or a hegemon.

Wu Ge didn't want to meet them on the road in the past.

So he quickly asked about the location of that sea area.

How could Pokémon know where they are on Earth?
So in the end, even the dragon riders couldn't give a clear explanation.

Ten minutes passed.

The dragon chieftains have returned.

What caught people's attention was that they pushed back a small, rusty iron boat.

Judging from the appearance of this ship, it has been drifting in this sea area for quite some time.

Moving forward certainly means losing the ability to move forward.

But it's perfectly fine to float on the sea.

"Hey~"

The leader of the dragons raised his head.

He gestured for Wu Ge and Masked Cat to board the boat.

"I see."

Wu Ge immediately understood the Dragon Leader's intention.

This is to pull the boat forward.

This way, it won't just be the leader of the dragon-riding team who has to work hard, but everyone will pull the boat together.
