Pokémon: The Sims.

Chapter 216 Promise Fulfilled
"Although I don't know what happened to you, I think you must have tried very hard, right?"

"Lai oh (boss)~"

"Ziba (Father)~"

"Hoo-hoo (Big Brother)~"

".Um."

Wu Ge felt a lump in his throat, squinted at them, and then nodded emphatically with a smile.

The sun was shining brightly and a gentle breeze was blowing.

Wu Ge and Liz are both in their twilight years.

But no matter how the appearance changes.

They would still smile at each other.

Wu Ge and his group continued their journey westward.

Masked Cat also asked Wu Ge.

Who were those people and Pokémon that appeared when the Flower of Time bloomed?

She sensed that Wu Ge seemed to know them, and that their relationship was unusual.

Wu Ge's situation is also difficult to explain.

He only said that he was a friend from a thousand years ago, and then told her that he was brought to this era by a shrine.

Upon learning that Wu Ge came from a thousand years ago, Masked Cat was shocked.

But the shock only lasted for a moment.

After all, Wu Ge is by my side now.

She was more curious about what the world was like a thousand years ago.

Seeing that Masked Cat and Scizor were quite interested, Wu Ge began to tell them about the social environment of the Warcraft era.

Upon hearing how cruel it was back then, they couldn't help but shake their heads.

Many people sighed that it was good to live in this era.

along the way.

Wu Ge needs to stop and rest every now and then.

His physical strength deteriorated, and his breathing became uneven.

Even the body's absorption of sunlight becomes quite slow.

Masked Cat stopped causing trouble and provoking Wu Ge, and its every move no longer resembled that of a child.

She knew that Wu Ge's life was nearing its end.

and so.

She wanted to act like an adult so that Wu Ge wouldn't have to worry about her when he left.

Because it possesses the power of waveguides and the Time Flower that is found everywhere.

So, despite the frequent stops and starts, Wu Ge didn't lose track of Liz.

They traveled from Guandu all the way to Chengdu.

We passed by Baiyin Mountain.

Wu Ge and Masked Cat parted ways with the Mantis.

He now has his own small community.

However, the group is small, consisting of only about seven or eight individuals.

Nowadays, most Scyther and Scizor prefer to act alone, with only a few that don't prioritize combat strength preferring to huddle together for warmth and protection.

"Soulai".

The Scizor stood at the foot of Silver Mountain and bowed to Wu Ge and Masked Meow.

"Yes, go ahead. With your talent and hard work, becoming the overlord of Silver Mountain in the future is definitely not a problem."

Wu Ge reached out and patted his hand.

Scizor has a high level of talent.

Most importantly, he is very hardworking, has a strong drive to improve, and is willing to take action.

This is completely different from Masked Cat, who only exercises sporadically and is forced to do so by Wu Ge.

Just look at the speed of progress over the past seventeen or eighteen years.

The Scizor has leveled up by 26 or 7, reaching the threshold of becoming an Elite Four member.

Masked Cat only leveled up by 14 during this period.

The scyther is still very young.

He's only twenty years old.

Although Scizor has the Bug type, it also has the Steel type, so its lifespan is not short; it can live for at least another hundred years.

It's almost certain that Scizor will reach Champion level in the future.

Whether he can go further depends on himself.

In short, Wu Ge has very high expectations for him, even higher than for his own daughter, Masked Cat.

"Meow?"

Masked Cat gently shook Wu Ge's arm and asked her.
"You? Give me a break, it's good enough that you haven't gone backwards."

Wu Ge glanced at her, deliberately trying to provoke her.

"Meow!"

Masked Cat angrily tilted its head and ignored Wu Ge.

"Haha, just kidding. It's just that... your happiness is the most important thing. As for ability, just do whatever you want."

Wu Ge raised his hand and patted the head of the masked cat.

It feels amazing to have your whole palm covered in hair.

This is something Wu Ge couldn't experience when he was much larger than before.

The scyther here said goodbye to them.

Not far away.

Liz and the others also saw off the Crossbat.

To be precise...
Liz chased the Crossbat away.

Wu Ge understands her.

Like herself, Liz didn't have much time left.

She didn't want the Crossbats to watch her die.

They also didn't want the Crossbats to be trapped in the Dragon Capital for their entire lives.

Therefore, she wants to send them back to where they belong.

The cross-shaped bat was brought out of Silver Mountain by Wu Ge.

Silver Mountain is the home of Crobat, the place where he grew up, so Crobat goes to Silver Mountain when he leaves.

No matter how reluctant I am, it's useless.

She had made up her mind.

Wu Ge and Liz stood together, watching Crobat and Scizor leave and head towards the depths of Silver Mountain, both feeling somewhat lonely.

"Just keep going."

"Meow."

Masked Cat helped Wu Ge head southwest.

Wu Ge looked up and immediately understood that Liz's next stop was Scorpion Island.

She was going to take Scorpio King home.

The year is now 49 in the Alliance calendar.

Compared to the cross-bat.

Scorpio King left in a very carefree manner.

Under Liz's command, he first defeated the Scorpion King's leader at the time and became the new overlord of Scorpion Island.

Then, he took all the scorpions on Scorpion Island and sent Liz away.

This is the end.

Liz was left with only one Charizard.

Charizard's home is a small forest in the capital of the Dragon King.

However, Charizard didn't go there.

He told Liz not to worry about him, that he would fly to other places to see in the future.

Hearing Charizard say that.

Liz nodded and asked him to escort her back to the Dragon Royal Capital.

All the way north.

Wu Ge followed Liz's phantom to a mountain range. A thousand years ago, it was a vast plain where the Dragon King's capital stood.

"We've finally arrived."

Liz's image appeared before Wu Ge's eyes.

"Yes."

Wu Ge muttered something.

His mind flashed back to the path he had taken with Masked Cat over the past twenty-nine years.

"Thanks a lot."

"You too."

"Thank you for walking this road with me."

"This is something I promised you a long time ago."

Wu Ge pursed his lips.

Whether he had a hard time or not, he knew very well whether he was happy or not.

Liz is the one who really suffered.

Don't say anything else.

She must have been exhausted during that time in the Xicui area.

But
She did it.

He once said that he wanted to change the relationship between humans and Pokémon in this world.

Wu Ge thought she couldn't do it.

Because that's difficult.

It's extremely difficult.

"See you again in a while."

Watching Liz's hunched figure enter the palace.

Wu Ge knows.

My promise has finally been fulfilled.

The matter that had been on my mind for so long has finally come to an end.

Wu Ge looked up at the azure sky and let out a long breath.

This time.

He was truly relieved.

Despite not feeling well, Wu Ge felt extremely happy at that moment.

The only thing I still care about in this world.
The only one left is the big cat that's still by my side.

"Meow?"

Masked Cat looked at Wu Ge beside him.

She didn't know what Wu Ge was doing here, so she turned to ask him where he was going next.

"Let's go to the Dragon Clan's territory. I need to take a good rest."

Wu Ge turned to look at Masked Cat and smiled.

The Dragon Clan's territory is a good place to retire.

He might spend the rest of his life there.

"..Meow."

Masked Cat nodded.

They continued northward.

We arrived at the dragon's lair, which leads to the territory of the Dragon Clan.

Wu Ge and Masked Cat encountered no obstacles and easily entered the grassland in the valley.

"Whoa?!"

When Kuailong saw Wu Ge again, a look of shock immediately appeared on his face.

Seeing Wu Ge's aged appearance, which seemed even older than her own, she quickly asked what had happened.

Wu Ge calmly explained to her what had happened at the World Tree.

"Go visit your friends, it's been so long!"

"Meow."

Masked Cat shook its head.

She didn't want to go anywhere; she just wanted to stay by Wu Ge's side.

"."

Wu Ge reached out and patted her head, but didn't chase her away.

Masked Cat wants to cherish the last moments she spends with Wu Ge.

Isn't Wu Ge the same?

Who knows which era you'll be reborn into in your next life?

It remains to be seen whether Masked Cat will still be alive by then.

Even if you're alive.

I don't know where to look for her.

I don't know how to explain my existence to her.

"Ooh?"

Kuailong and Wu Ge lay flat on the grassland, quietly basking in the sun.

She asked him how long he planned to stay there.

Wu Ge's answer was also very concise:
"Until death."

Wu Ge yawned.

death.

It's a heavy word in other people's mouths.

But he spoke of it much more casually.

It's nothing more than changing your identity, changing the era, and starting over.

This is his third death, and he's almost gotten used to it.

Perhaps a few more times.

Wu Ge will then completely lose his sense of death.

"Woo-woo".

Dragonite grinned.

She was quite happy to know that Wu Ge would be staying here for a long time.

What she didn't know was...
Wu Ge has less than a year left to live.

Life became like a still lake, plain but not boring.

Occasionally, I guide some Pokémon in battles.

Occasionally, I would talk to some younger Pokémon about the outside world and share my own stories.

Occasionally, I'll bring Masked Cat to touch the World Tree Crystal and chat with Dream, who often talks about them.

Occasionally, I'll pet the Pokémon in the Dragon Clan territory.

Occasionally, I'll annoy Masked Cat.

In the blink of an eye.

Half a year or so passed.

Wu Ge's body became somewhat withered again, but at least it was no longer yellow.

He estimated that he probably only had a few days left.

What left Wu Ge somewhat bewildered was...
He didn't know where he was supposed to die.

He didn't really want to die in the Dragon Clan's territory.

The main reason is that I don't want to die in front of Masked Cat.

Feeling lost.

Wu Ge arrived at the flower garden located deep in the secluded valley, where the tombstones of 'Liz' and 'Alan' stood.

He walked to his own tombstone and sat down against it.

My gaze fell upon the Flower of Time beside me.

"It's true... I see you everywhere."
