Pokémon: The Sims.

Chapter 188 These past twenty years have been tough for you.
That night.

Wu Ge arrived in Xunbile City alone.

Masked Cat and his group were already waiting upstairs.

It was originally daytime.

Hai Liang still maintained his attitude of "even if I die, I will still go up and take pictures."

But as night fell, the atmosphere and environment changed.

Hailiang then adopted the persona of "I'm feeling a bit dizzy, so I'm keeping watch for you down here."

Anyway, for Wu Ge, it's definitely a good thing that Hai Liang didn't come along.

squeak~
Push open the wooden gate of the castle.

"Hiss."

The sound of coffins being torn apart came from above.

Wu Ge looked up, his pupils shrinking slightly.

On the third floor, Die Shi Guan and a figure in pure blue beside him were waving at him.

"I've really seen something like this in my lifetime."

Wu Ge sniffed and pushed off slightly with his foot.

He jumped directly from the spot to the third floor.

Wow~ That's amazing.

A pale blue figure clapped and applauded, the voice even more childish than Wu Ge had imagined.

It seems his eyesight was off.

When this rich young master died, he was probably not even seventeen or eighteen years old, maybe only fourteen or fifteen.

Therefore, it can be basically concluded that...

These lost coffins were not something he had cultivated from scratch.

Or it could be as he thinks it might be.

Either the coffin was already of a very high grade when it came into his possession.

"Hello. Lizard King? That's what the person next to you called you. My name is Nia, from Raven City in the Unova region."

The pale blue energy entity introduced itself and extended its hand.

Wu Ge glanced down.

He did not raise his hand and maintained a distance of five meters at all times.

There was a railing behind him; if he jumped backward, he would fall to the first floor.

He looked at the soul entity Nia in front of him.

Facial features were almost blurry, and the expression on the other person's face was impossible to discern.

"Oh, I forgot, I'm a spirit now, so I can't contact other living beings, hahaha."

Nia scratched the back of her head sheepishly.

At the same time, in order to prove his point, he reached out and grabbed at the wall beside him.

The hand went straight through the wall.

It seems that what the other party said is true.

"You look like you're about to dissipate, don't you?"

Wu Ge glanced at Nia.

The entire surface is a light blue, and its transparency is as high as 80%.

He could even see through Nia's body to the other side.

"What did Die Shi Guan say?"

"Hiss."

Die Shi Guan acted as the translator, explaining Wu Ge's words to Nia.

"Oh~ you're so smart. Hmm, if I continue to stay in the real world, I might disappear completely in two years. Then the Night Demons won't come to catch me anymore."

Nia gave Wu Ge a thumbs up, her tone revealing no sadness.

He should have been mentally prepared for this long ago.

"Now you can tell us your reason for coming to us."

"Uh-huh!"

Nia paused for a moment, then nodded and pointed upwards.

"The Gate to the Spirit World?"

"Yes, you even know about the Spirit Gate?! Good heavens! You're definitely not a normal Pokémon!"

"Sizzle!"

This time, even the ancient coffin that had lived for hundreds of years was shocked.

The Gate to the Spirit Realm.

He only started to understand it more than 20 years ago.

Moreover, based on his eavesdropping on other residents and travelers in Ancient Wood Town over the years, the vast majority of people in this world should have absolutely no concept of the 'Gate to the Spirit World'.

However, a lizard king actually knew this.

Simply unbelievable.

"Never mind, this saves me a lot of explanations, haha."

Nia seemed to open her mouth and laugh twice more; the boy seemed quite optimistic.
"The gate to the spirit world is not completely closed yet. It looks like a more powerful Night Demon will come and take me away in a few days. Next time, the Coffin of Lost Souls may not be able to protect me."

"Hiss."

Die Shiguan lowered his head in dejection.

Although he would risk his life to protect Nya, he wasn't really sure he could protect her next time.

That night demon from last night.

He was already finding it somewhat difficult to deal with it.

"Therefore, I need to find someone as soon as possible to help me fulfill my obsession, so that I can happily go to the spirit world with the Night Demon!"

Nia clenched her fists.

Then he ran back to the intact bedroom on the third floor.

"Ouch! I can't lift it! Die Shi Guan, come help me!"

Nia's anxious voice came from inside.

"Hiss."

They rushed over as if it were nothing out of the ordinary.

A few seconds later.

Nia and Die Shi Coffin emerged again.

Below the coffin, each of the two arms held an object.

The item on the left is a letter.

The one on the right is a jade amulet.

"Please, could you please deliver these two items to Mr. Niji in Raven City, Unova Region? It doesn't matter whether you bring them in person or mail them, haha."

Nia pointed to the two objects in Die Shi Guan's hands.

Die Shi Guan handed the two items in his hand to Wu Ge.

"Why didn't you ask someone else for such a small thing?"

Wu Ge raised an eyebrow and took the item.

It's really just a small thing, nothing troublesome, just mailing an item.

"Because no one else could see me before, and the loss of the coffin would scare away other people and Pokémon. Even if it didn't scare them away, he couldn't explain it clearly."

Nia shrugged and shook her head helplessly.

“The demons of the night used to come from other places. The gate between the mortal and spiritual realms was located far away and could not affect me or make me manifest. Only last night, so this may be my last chance to fulfill my obsession.”

For such a trivial matter, he lingered in this world for more than twenty years.

"Hiss..."

Die Shi Guan lowered his head in frustration, feeling utterly useless.

"I'm not blaming you! It's all thanks to Die Shi Guan for protecting me, otherwise I would have been captured by the Night Demon long ago, hahaha."

Nia reached out and stroked the cold body of the deceased.

He can't touch other things, but he seems to be able to touch Ghost-type Pokémon.

Would you mind telling me your story?

Wu Ge looked up at Nia.

He still remembers that Nia was a stowaway.

Although Nia and Descoan don't seem like bad people.

However, he still decided to find out more about the situation first.

"Oh, of course, no problem. Actually, the book you saw yesterday already covered most of it."

“My family used to be in the tourism industry, but given the situation in Hezhong more than 20 years ago, nobody went on trips anymore.”

"Therefore, my father's business was facing bankruptcy, so I decided to go out and think of a way to help him!"

"Then I set my sights on the nearest Carlos region, but the checks on people from the United States region were very strict. I couldn't bring the Coffin of the Lost Coffin in, so I had to have it bring me in from the sea next to it."

"You read about what happened next in the book." "After I died in the city of Sempile, I found that I couldn't get out. It wasn't because I was a 'bound spirit' or anything like that, but because many people had died in this castle in the past, and it was full of yin energy. Only here could I continue to 'live'."

After Nia finished speaking, she shrugged, looking as if she herself was helpless.

"Isn't this just a case of a brat getting himself into trouble? Your dad must be heartbroken."

Wu Ge sighed, unsure of what to say.

"I know. I know everything."

Nia lowered her head, her voice becoming somewhat depressed.
“I argued with my dad about this before I left home. I’m worried that he’ll blame himself for disappearing for so many years, so I must deliver this suicide note to him.”

"."

Wu Ge looked at the soul entity in front of him.

Although he couldn't see the expression on Nia's face,
Some things don't need to be seen.

A boy of fourteen or fifteen years old has been trapped in this gloomy and desolate castle for more than twenty years.

They also constantly face the risk of being captured by the Night Demon.

Even so, he still did not give up.

The importance of this suicide note and this amulet is self-evident.

"Lizard King, I'm begging you! No one else dares to come, much less communicate with us, but I'm afraid my time is limited."

"Sizzle!"

Just then, Die Shi Guan suddenly roared.

Then he rushed to the rooftop.

"So fast this time?!"

Nia immediately anticipated what was about to happen.

He rushed over immediately.

"This"

Wu Ge raised an eyebrow and looked down at the envelope and amulet in his hand.

After hesitating for a moment, he decided to follow them and see what was going on.

The description of the Night Demon in the Pokédex is terrifying.

Or rather, there aren't many good Pokédex entries for Ghost-type Pokémon.

However, based on my own experience, most of the things in the illustrated guide are based on human perspectives.

There are villains among Ghost-type Pokémon.

Furthermore, the percentage of villains is the highest among all attributes.

However, this doesn't mean all Ghost-type Pokémon are excluded.

Many Ghost-type Pokémon are also Good or Lawful.

For example, the lost coffins we encountered this time.

As the guardian of the spirit world, Dusknoir is considered a "positive" Pokémon in the anime.

What they do is watch over the spirit world and protect the safety of living beings in the mortal realm.

therefore.

Wu Ge felt that the Night Demon Spirit wouldn't harm him.

Even if it is.

The coffin should also protect him.

After all, he held the will and the amulet in his hands, and it was also the last hope to fulfill Nia's obsession.

Wu Ge kicked off with his foot.

We went up to the fourth floor.

They arrived at the hole they had kicked out yesterday and bounced all the way to the rooftop.

As soon as we entered the rooftop.

Wu Ge saw a 30-meter-tall Night Demon Spirit, which was already fifteen times the value in the Pokédex!
Behind the Night Demon, the gate to the spirit world was already at least fifty meters high.

Now, probably everyone in the entire ancient town can see this place.

From today onwards.

The legend of the 'spirit world' should begin to spread across the land of Carlos.

The Night Demon Spirit exuded a grayish-purple aura of the spirit world, and one of its red pupils released an immense sense of oppression.

This sense of oppression was even more terrifying than when Wu Ge's second incarnation saw the Dragonite Chieftain unleash his full power.

'Does the oppressive quality amplify the aura of this night demon?'

The Night Demon pointed a finger.

Wu Ge then found that his entire body had frozen.

Completely unable to move!

'What kind of move is this? Don't tell me it's a freeze spell?!'

Wu Ge's eyes widened.

He had no idea that the seemingly insignificant "Immobilization Technique" could be so powerful!
At this moment, Wu Ge had no doubt that this Night Demon was the overlord Pokémon of the spirit world.

Look to the side.

The coffin was fixed in place; it could still move, but it was practically immobile.

He trembled all over as he stretched out his four hands and moved towards the direction of the Night Demon.

Because the Night Demon's large hand had already grasped Nia.

"Never mind, Die Shi Guan, you've already tried your best to protect me."

Nia didn't struggle, letting the Night Demon hold her.

Bang.

Die Shi Guan collapsed to the ground.

Even so, he was already trying his best to pull himself forward with all four hands.

The stone ceiling was scratched with deep grooves, seemingly telling of his helplessness.

"Actually, we knew it all along, right? This day was bound to come eventually, so it's okay."

Nia waved her arms, trying her best to show that she had come to terms with the matter, then turned to look in Wu Ge's direction.

"Lizard King, could I ask you for a favor?"

"."

Wu Ge blinked, indicating that he had agreed.

He is completely immobilized now; he can't even move his tongue, and he's doing his best to move his eyelids and eyeballs.

Dusknoir appears to be a Pokémon without emotions.

After capturing Nia, he immediately retreated into the spirit world gate, showing no intention of letting Nia say more.

"Thank you, hehe, now I can leave with peace of mind."

Nia's shoulders twitched, but she grinned and turned her gaze to Die Shi Guan.

"Speaking of which, I wrote many messages for my father, but not for Die Shi Guan."

"Hiss."

A mournful sound escaped from the mouth of the coffin.

His scarlet eyes watched as Nia receded further and further away, a hint of hysteria flickering within them.

What is the spirit world like?
Is the spirit world very dark?
Nia is very afraid of the dark.
"Die Shi Guan, thank you for your hard work over the past twenty years. Also, my favorite people are Dad and Die Shi Guan."

Nia raised her hand and wiped her eyes.

As he drew closer and closer to the gate to the spirit world.

Wu Ge also got a clear look at his appearance.

He really is a very gentle-looking young man, but...
His expression didn't look good.

"If I could meet you all again in my next life, how wonderful that would be, hahaha."

Can the soul cry?

Wu Ge used to think it was impossible.

But he found out today.

Even spirits can cry.

Their tears are sky blue, and they will float silently in mid-air for a long time, like many fireflies.

Nia and the Night Demon completely disappeared, and the gate to the spirit world began to shrink gradually.

The binding force on Wu Ge and Die Shi Guan completely dissipated.

“Desi (I owe you a favor, and if I'm still alive, I'll pay you back).”

The sound of a coffin being lost rang in my ears.

His figure then rushed towards the gate to the spirit world.

Hey!

Wu Ge's eyes widened, and he stretched out his hand.

But it was all too late.

The coffin and the gate to the spirit world vanished before our eyes.
