Pokémon: The Sims.

Chapter 230 Dreams Are Calling

After leaving Pallet Town.

Kona did not rush to Rota City immediately.

She first led Wu Ge to the near-sea area on both sides of the road leading to Changqing City.

Wu Ge knew what Kona was going to do without even thinking.

Catching Pokémon is the obvious choice.

Wu Ge could basically see right through Kona's thoughts at a glance.

One reason is that I'm itching to catch a Pokémon.

Another point is to start training early so that it can be put to good use in the future challenge of the Quartz League.

"Hehe, what kind of Pokémon will I encounter?"

"Kanto is near the sea, where you can find either jellyfish or crabs."

Wu Ge shrugged and spread his hands.

The jellyfish is naturally the agate jellyfish, and the crab is the giant pincer crab.

In areas near the beach, these two types of Pokémon are the most numerous, with perhaps a few more Staryu and Octopus.

Magikarp and Feebas never venture into shallow waters.

Kona has a lot of presence.

Carrying Wu Ge's 12-pound Pokémon, he ran for more than ten minutes.

This is largely thanks to the beatings I received from my mother in the past.

Every time I got beaten up, it was like starting a five-kilometer long-distance training run.

They rushed all the way to the beach.

Lorelei immediately took a liking to a Pokémon.

"Piplup! See that Pokémon? Use Bubble Beam!"

"."

Wu Ge glanced at the Pokémon she had chosen and raised an eyebrow.

A large tongue clam.

It seems that one of Lorelei's key players, 'Dragon Slayer', is about to join the team.

In Lorelei's Pokémon arsenal, her ace is definitely Lapras.

but.

When facing Yulongdu, the trump card has to be replaced with Spiny Shell.

As is well known, Dragonite's best attack is physical attack.

Even his signature move, 'Godspeed,' is still a physical attack.

And coincidentally...

Clamshell's greatest strength lies in physical defense.

"I'd completely forgotten about this guy."

Wu Ge muttered something, then opened his mouth and spit out a series of small bubbles.

For these low-pressure matches, Wu Ge wouldn't mind playing along with Kona.

There weren't any intense battles.

A single move, the Bubble Ray.

The giant clams were instantly devoured.

"My level isn't high. I don't know when the competition starts, or if I'll make it in time."

Wu Ge glanced at the giant tongue clam that Kona had caught in the ball.

Admittedly, his water-type moves are more powerful due to the addition of the Mystic Water Drop.

However, since Shellder is a Water-type Pokémon, it should have double the resistance.

Even so, Wu Ge was still able to defeat him instantly with a single Bubble Ray.

The level will not exceed Lv.15.

Even if there's still a year until the competition, the best they can do is improve to Lv.45.

This level is not low, but it's far from enough to compete for the top spot.

not to mention
Lorelei is a Water/Ice type trainer, which makes winning even more difficult.

The pressure will likely fall on Wu Ge and Cheng Long.

'It'll probably be very difficult to win in the first year.'

Wu Ge shook his head.

After learning about the current league format, he had given up hope of winning the championship in his first year.

This competition format.

It was significantly more difficult than the 6v6 matches that were later played using badges.

There are no restrictions on registration.

Like the tournament more than a hundred years later, you need to collect eight badges to qualify for the competition.

It seems that a threshold has been set.

But in reality, the threshold has actually been lowered.

Because most adults don't have the time to travel around challenging dojos; they are all busy making a living and supporting their families. Being able to find the time to watch a match is already quite an achievement.

Therefore, those who participated in the competition later were mostly teenagers and young people in their twenties.

But how strong can these young people who have just started traveling really be?

In contrast, Kobe's class...

There are no barriers to entry.

Office workers and retired seniors can all sign up to participate; all they need to do is set aside a few days to attend the competition.

No one knows.

What if a retired minister from the alliance department suddenly appears?

If we really do unfortunately encounter it.

So, Koro needs at least three Pokémon of Champion caliber to have a chance of competing for the title.

"Yay! I caught it! Piplup, you're the best!"

Kona returned with the Poké Ball, squatted down, and kissed Wu Ge on the forehead.

"Okay, let's go."

Wu Ge waved casually.

Set off again.

The pace of travel slowed down along the way.

Because in addition to training Lapras, Kona also has to train Shellder.

She didn't divide the time originally used for training Lapras in half and put half of it on Shellder.

Instead, they used some of the time they would have spent traveling and having fun to train the giant tongue shell.

This girl is preparing for the competition very seriously and diligently.

As for Wu Ge.

He continued to train as usual.

Furthermore, his training time is not the same as that of Lapras or Shellder.

Instead, she's like Kona.

This means that his training time is twice that of Lapras or Shellder.

and.

His efficiency from his own special training is much better than when Kona is in charge.

About two months later.

Wu Ge and Kona arrived in Rota City, the northernmost city in Kanto, three months before the start of the Kanto Tournament.

Lorelei's three Pokémon are not making good progress in their training.

Take Lapras, which was the first to follow her, for example. After two months, it only leveled up by 4, reaching Lv.46. Shellder, on the other hand, was Lv.7 when it was first caught.

It has now reached Lv.28.

His talent is indeed remarkable.

However, it is difficult for the giant clams to improve to a level that can be of great use in major competitions within just three months.

Let's talk about Wu Ge himself.

Despite having very poor talent in this life.

But this was his fourth time starting his training from scratch, so he was already quite familiar with it, and he trained even harder.

Therefore, his rank was not much lower than that of the dragon.

It is currently at Lv.42.

The gap of more than ten levels has been narrowed to four levels.

Furthermore, Wu Ge was constantly working on developing waveguides and learning new techniques during this period.

such as.

One of the moves he learned in the past two months, the 'Weather Ball', is really interesting.

This move changes its attributes depending on the weather.

Moreover, under special weather conditions, its power can reach 100!

If you encounter a sunny or bright day.

With just one Piplup, he essentially possesses a powerful Fire-type special move with a power level of 100.

Walking on the streets of Rota.

"Wow~ Bogarman, look! Such a huge tree!!"

Kona hugged Wu Ge and gestured for him to look into the distance.

"That's a stone."

Wu Ge gave a casual reply.

He's now wondering whether he should go and find the Dream.

Perhaps the other side of the dream world has the ability to help me complete my genes and restore my potential to normal.

"Let's go take a look!"

"Hey sis!!"

As soon as Kona's voice rang out, Wu Ge immediately shouted at the top of his lungs.

He was so scared he almost lost his mind.

Wu Ge seemed to have already seen that scene in that instant.

Lorelei walked near the World Tree, and was then punched flat by the three Titans that suddenly jumped out.

"What! Fine, I won't go! Why are you being so fierce?!"

Kona was startled by Wu Ge and became somewhat angry.

Wu Ge shook his head and didn't explain to her.

"Bogaman, look, the sun is shining so brightly today. Let's go take a nap on those chairs over there."

"Hmm? Oh, then I'll take a nap."

Wu Ge looked up and then nodded.

He then had Kona carry him to the bench to lie down.

Basking in the warm sunshine.

She fell asleep shortly afterward.

When Wu Ge opened his eyes again, he was already sitting in the car.

"."

Wu Ge glanced at Kona, who was pretending to be asleep, then stood up and stood on tiptoe to look out the window.

This is the path to the World Tree.

"Hey sis!!"

Without saying a word, Wu Ge immediately started howling at the top of his lungs.

He was genuinely scared.

They were afraid that three pillars would fall from the sky at any moment and flatten their taxi.

"Shut up! Bogarman! You're too noisy!"

Kona couldn't keep up the act any longer.

She quickly moved closer and covered Wu Ge's mouth.

"You have no idea what you're doing!!"

Wu Ge kicked the little girl away and quickly used his wave-guiding power to send a telepathic message to the bewildered driver.

"Stop the car! Don't go any further!"

"Huh? Who's talking?"

The driver was stunned.

He thought he just heard a little boy's voice.

There was only one little girl on the bus.

He turned his head and glanced strangely at Kona, who was fighting with the little penguin. He frowned, thinking he was hallucinating.

"Stop the car! Don't go near the World Tree!"

"?"

The driver turned his head again and replied suspiciously.
"Of course I know I can't get close to the World Tree, but it's still quite far from the boundary line."

I heard the driver speak.

Wu Ge and Kona were both taken aback.

'Boundary line? Humans have discovered they can't approach within a certain area of ​​the World Tree?'

Wu Ge stopped causing trouble.

Since the driver said he wouldn't go near the World Tree, there's no harm in taking a look over there.

It sounds like that too.

So many years have passed.

Locals living in this area should know very well that the World Tree is not to be approached casually.

It seems he, being from out of town, is overthinking things.

Why can't we get close to the World Tree?

Kona asked curiously.

Although she didn't know why the driver had suddenly said that.

But she was more focused on what the driver was saying.

"Because there are forest rangers guarding it. Not to mention ordinary people like us, even non-affiliated members of the Alliance are not allowed to approach within a certain range of the World Tree."

"Huh?! How could this be?"

Kona immediately became extremely disappointed.

She had originally planned to climb up the World Tree to take a look.

"Ugh! The area around the World Tree is where Konoha and Lugia fought back then. There's still a huge crater there. How could we possibly get close so easily?"

The driver, however, seemed quite unfazed.

He actually thinks this is fine.

With so many people going there, the area around the World Tree will inevitably become a filthy mess sooner or later.

'Hmm, the Indigo League is starting to consciously protect the World Tree.'

Wu Ge had some doubts in his mind.

Looking out the window at the 'giant tree' getting closer and closer, a strange feeling welled up in his heart.

"Is the World Tree calling me?! No, it's a dream!"
