Pokémon: The Sims.

Chapter 182 Arrival, Carlos Region
Coincidentally.

Among the supplies that Yamanashi prepared for Wu Ge and Masked Cat was hemp rope.

The dragon race pulls the boat in rounds of seven.

When you get tired of one round, switch to the next.

The journey north didn't slow things down much at all.

At least in Wu Ge's eyes.

Their pace of progress is about the same as Liz's.

It’s hard to say.

A thousand years ago, Liz also had some aquatic Pokémon pulling her along.

The first day before boarding the ship.

Wu Ge and Masked Cat changed into the matching cat outfits they bought in Xuefeng City, and then put on thick coats over them.

This icy ocean is simply not a place for Grass-type Pokémon.

If Wu Ge and Masked Cat were weaker, or hadn't bought these clothes...

They all suspected they would freeze to death on the ship.

However, for Chenglong and his companions, the temperature of this sea area could only be described as 'cool'.

When Masked Cat was drowsy from the cold on the boat, shivering in Wu Ge's arms.

Chenglong and the others were still happily splashing water and playing.

Time passed little by little.

Before we knew it, summer had passed.

Autumn has quietly passed by halfway.

But for Wu Ge and his companions, who spend most of their time at sea...

Whether it's summer or autumn in this world, the difference is basically negligible.

Occasionally, you'll encounter some isolated islands along the way.

The dragons will thoughtfully dock at the shore, allowing Wu Ge and Masked Cat to rest on the island for a few days before setting off again.

Wu Ge and Masked Cat will also gather more tree fruits and edible wild plants on the island, allowing the Dragon Clan to occasionally have a different taste.

After a short rest, we will set off again.

Only through personal experience can one truly understand.

Wu Ge then realized how boring the lives of the wild dragon race were.

Throughout the year, at least half the time is spent traveling on the monotonous sea route.

Along the way, you'll also encounter attacks from various Pokémon.

Sometimes those aquatic leaders were so powerful that even Wu Ge had a hard time dealing with them, and he had to rally the other dragons and Masked Cats to form a circle and kick them together to defeat them.

This also made Wu Ge clearly realize that there is currently a significant gap in the biological genes of land and sea Pokémon.

Compared to a thousand years ago.

Because of the significantly reduced survival pressure, the fighting genes of land-dwelling Pokémon have been weakened considerably.

The fighting genes of marine Pokémon are weakened to a lesser extent.

At the same level.

The probability of a marine Pokémon exceeding its Pokédex values ​​in size and weight is far greater than that of a land-based Pokémon.

Perhaps we'll have to wait until the future.

This situation will only be balanced when people begin to venture into the ocean in large numbers and open up shipping routes.

just now.

Especially those Pokémon from the desolate deep sea.

It could be said to be even more exaggerated than Pokémon from the Warcraft era, probably stemming from genes passed down from an even more ancient time.

Wu Ge even saw a Gyarados that was over fifty meters long.

When I saw that guy.

Wu Ge didn't even want to test the other party's level.

Without a word, he immediately ordered the dragon race to change course and circle around to a more distant sea area.

However, this is also thanks to these powerful marine Pokémon.

In the past four or five months, Wu Ge's level has increased by 3 levels in one go, which is quite rare.

It's been a long time since I've improved this quickly.

Especially during those two years when I was wandering around the Sinnoh region, my level increase was incredibly slow.

Noon on a certain day.

After finishing his meal, Wu Ge lay on the deck of the small boat, looking at the sun in the sky and feeling the temperature of the air.

"They should be here soon."

He muttered.

The temperature he is feeling now is about the same as the temperature in the northernmost part of Sinnoh.

They should already be within Carlos's South China Sea area.

"Meow?!"

Upon hearing this, Masked Cat pricked up its ears.

She's been at sea for the past few months, and she's almost seasick.

Are we finally almost at the next region?
"Well, it's almost there."

Wu Ge nodded and reached out to rub the masked cat's ears.

Then I plucked off a few hairs.

Autumn is the shedding season for masked cats.

The weather is cool and dry this season, with little sunshine.

This makes the cat's fur fall out easily, just like how tree leaves turn yellow in autumn and fall to the ground after a few gentle breezes.

In winter, Masked Cat's fur will appear to be thinner than in summer.

However, spring and summer will come.

After basking in the sun.

Masked Cat's fur will become thick and long again.

"Meow meow!"

Masked Cat reached out and patted Wu Ge with its paw pad.

She likes Wu Ge to pat her head, but not when she's shedding.

She doesn't want to become a bald cat.

Wu Ge shook his head helplessly and opened his personal panel to take a look.

Five and a half years.

The level of intermediate dan in the dojo.

It can only be said that Wu Ge has wasted a lot of the good talent of this body.

otherwise.

The intensity of training in the previous life at Silver Mountain, plus the experience boost that Silavi has in this life.

Five and a half years.

Wu Ge has already entered the realm of superstars.

But it should be said or not.

This life is ten thousand times easier than the previous two.

I play when my hands itch, and I take a stroll when I feel lazy.

I didn't live for anyone in particular; I just did what I wanted to do and lived a very comfortable life.

Do it again.

He would still choose to leisurely level up.

And with the increase in level.

In the past two years, Wu Ge has also started to try to understand those difficult moves on his own.

However, because no one was teaching him and it was his first time learning, his progress was quite slow.

Since arriving in Sinnoh.

More than two years.

He then learned four moves: Vacuum Wave, Sunlight Blade, Dragon Claw, and True Qi Fist.

Among them, the vacuum wave and the true qi fist were comprehended based on the true qi bullet.

The Sunlight Blade, on the other hand, is based on the understanding gained from sunlight beams and leaf blades.

The final dragon claw was something I figured out on my own.

Of the four moves.

Vacuum waves are of little use to him.

The other three moves are all very valuable.

Dragon Claw is a superior alternative to the Dragon Tail.

With the power boost from Dragon Fang, its power has now entered the category of high-damage moves.

The other two are Sunlight Blade and True Qi Fist.

These are physical melee attacks belonging to the Grass and Fighting types, respectively.

With the damage amplification from the Miracle Seed, the base power of the Sunblade is equivalent to that of the True Qi Fist.

When Wu Ge's 'lush' state is stimulated.

The power of the Sunlight Blade far surpasses that of the True Qi Fist.

As for Masked Cat...
This kid has been slacking off a lot in recent years, and has fallen far behind Wu Ge.

My current level is only Lv.53.

Perhaps realizing that it couldn't catch up with Wu Ge, Masked Cat has entered a state of lying down and giving up.

She doesn't seem to be trying as hard as she did when she was Tire Cat.

If Wu Ge doesn't force her, she will never take the initiative to go and fight.

"Ugh."

Thinking of this, Wu Ge couldn't help but sigh.

He finally saw it.

My own big cat is a potential contender in the coordination competition.

She has absolutely no interest in competitive matches.

If it weren't for Wu Ge constantly pushing her to train and compete,

Who knows, five and a half years from now, the only thing following Wu Ge around might still be a little cat named Tire.

Sudden.

"Hey~"

"Hey~"

The voices of the dragons rose and fell in succession. I've been with the dragons for so long.

Wu Ge and Masked Cat certainly knew what that sound meant.

That was the sound of someone discovering the mainland and preparing to dock and rest.

Without saying a word, they immediately jumped up from the deck and looked ahead.

What appeared at the edge of the field of vision was a vast and boundless continent.

"Carlos"

Wu Ge murmured softly.

The Carlos region is a legendary place.

If you were to ask anime fans which region left the deepest impression among so many, they would likely choose one.

The Carlos region definitely ranks highly.

The emergence of the concept of 'Mega Evolution' in this region has given countless Pokémon fans a fresh perspective.

Even the Mega Evolution mechanic in the game.

It might not be as interesting as titanium crystal or juxtaposition, but it's cool.

The number of people who prioritize aesthetics in Pokémon games far exceeds the number who prioritize battling.

This is beyond doubt.

Therefore, the Mega Evolution mechanism is the most popular and beloved by fans, naturally giving the Kalos region a certain special treatment.

and.

This is also the place where many fans believe Ash Ketchum should have won the championship, and it's filled with so many people's regrets.

Wu Ge is currently only excited about the prospect of meeting new Pokémon.

Talk about it.

He also has the soul to want to become a trainer.

It's natural to feel excited about arriving at a new place.

Just like when I was a kid, I would feel very happy every time I saw Ash go to a new region and catch a new Pokémon.

And now.

I will personally set foot in this region.

"Meow?"

Masked Cat shook Wu Ge's arm expectantly.

"Hmm, that's difficult. Your ethnic group isn't even in this area."

Wu Ge shook his head.

The Masked Cat's relatives are in the Padia region, located northeast of the Carlos region.

"Meow"

Masked Cat was a little disappointed, and its ears drooped down.

But she soon had no time to care about that.

Because the Dragon Clan has already reached the shore!

"Hey~"

Little Dragon called out to Wu Ge and Masked Cat on the boat.

next moment.

Two green figures leaped from the ship and landed steadily on the grass of the Carlos continent.

"Thank you, Chenglong. I'm so sorry to have troubled you these past few months."

Wu Ge raised his hand and stroked Chenglong's face.

"Hey~"

Chenglong affectionately pressed his head against Wu Ge's.

To her, Wu Ge and Masked Cat are both very important friends, so she certainly wouldn't refuse this small favor.

"Meow."

Masked Cat stepped forward, hugged Lapras's neck, and kissed her twice.

"Hey."

A little further back, the Dragon Clan Chieftain had already begun calling out to the young Dragons.

Because we need to tug the boat.

Their migration is already much slower than before.

Normally, they would have already arrived in the subtropical region by this time of year.

If they don't hurry, they might freeze before winter arrives this year.

"Bah"

Little Dragon looked at Wu Ge and Masked Cat with reluctance.

"It's okay, we'll meet again, just like before."

Wu Ge reached out and gently patted the little dragon.

Little Dragon nodded and turned around.

She hasn't changed at all since then, and as she left, she kept looking back every few steps, just like always.

But the difference is.

"Meow meow~"

This time, Masked Cat started singing.

"Hey~"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chenglong immediately joined in the singing.

The little dragon's singing grew fainter and fainter until it could no longer be heard.

"Meow"

Masked Cat's expression fell, and she nestled into Wu Ge's arms for comfort.

Wu Ge reached out and stroked the big cat's head.

After a while.

Masked Cat's condition has improved somewhat.

"Meow?"

Masked Cat looked at Wu Ge.

Arriving in a new place, she had no idea where to go and could only let Wu Ge make the decision.

"Well, there's no rush."

Wu Ge shook his head and looked around.

The vast grassland made it impossible to determine their location.

He glanced at Liz's phantom and headed due north.

A map of the Carlos region flashed through my mind.

The overall shape of Carlos resembles a five-pointed star.

It is mainly divided into three parts.

Northwest, Northeast, and Central regions.

The regions of Kanto and Joto are mostly mountainous and plateau.

The Hoenn region is characterized by its vast areas of rivers, lakes, and oceans, as well as its diverse and varied terrain.

The Sinnoh region is full of forests and mountains, and most of the area is almost completely covered by forests.

The Carlos region is characterized by its vast plains.

The plains cover 60% of the Carlos region.

The remaining 40% is divided among mountains, rivers, deserts, forests, and snowfields.

Aside from the unique terrain.

The Carlos region also has many unique features.

such as.

In the Kalos region, it's almost impossible to find a trainer who is proficient in Ghost-type.

This may be related to the ghost stories that are famous in the northern swamps.

or.

The Kalos Pokédex contains the largest number of Pokémon.

and also.

The language spoken by people in the Carlos region is different from the language spoken by people in the Northern Hemisphere.

In short.

This is a place worth looking forward to.

Perhaps Wu Ge will stay in the Carlos region with Masked Cat for a while longer.

It's not just because of the many special features of this place.

There's one more thing.
He wanted to try his luck and see if he could find the Lizard King's Mega Stone and Key Stone here.

Wu Ge knew that the probability was extremely low.

But we should give it a try.

"Phew, this time, we'll have an easy time."

"Meow?"

"Because the Carlos region is mostly plains, and although there are many rivers, they are not very rapid, making it easy to cross."

"Meow!"

Masked Cat happily raised its hands.

Plains are the best!

Because the plains are bathed in sunlight, and you can freely roll around and take a nap.

but.

Because Wu Ge cannot determine his current location.

So he couldn't say for sure which way Liz would go next.

We could only follow her phantom all the way north.

Wu Ge and Masked Cat headed north.

Along the way, we encountered many Pokémon unique to the Kalos region.

They were dazzled by what they saw.

Fortunately, the alliance in the Carlos region was established relatively early.

The Pokémon in the wild are very peaceful and almost non-aggressive. They will greet Wu Ge and Masked Meow warmly when they see them, just like the Pokémon encountered in other regions.

"Meow~"

"Hmm, it looks like it'll be a relatively easy trip."
