Pokémon: The Sims.

Chapter 239 The Poor Child
Wu Ge, who had just received the message, immediately felt a chill run down his spine.

"Pogaman!"

Kona's exclamation rang out, along with the sound of her rapidly approaching footsteps.

Wu Ge subconsciously thought that the Spirit Gate had appeared next to Kona, and suddenly turned his head to look behind him.

All that met the eye was a dark purple light.

Good news - the spirit gate did not appear near Lorelei, so Lorelei is most likely safe from any accidents.

Bad news—a gate to the spirit world appeared on his face!

call out!
Before Wu Ge could immediately retreat using his divine speed, the gate to the spirit world unleashed a powerful suction force, pulling him in abruptly.

next moment.

Wu Ge then arrived at a chaotic space dominated by purple tones.

This space was filled with a grayish-purple mist, so thick that one could not see their own hand in front of their face.

"Oh ho... I guess you should call it lucky or unlucky."

Wu Ge stood still with his eyes closed.

My eyes were practically ruined in this space; what I saw only affected my emotions.

Using waveguides to perceive the surroundings is the wise thing to do.

Fortunately, Wu Ge has focused on cultivating his wave power in the past two years.

His waveguide sensing range is now 15 meters.

Enter the spirit world.

Wu Ge's current situation is quite precarious.

He did have the idea of ​​entering the spirit world to find information about Masked Cat, but he would have to wait until he became stronger before he could put that idea into practice.

The gate to the spirit world is a rare and precious thing; it may not appear even once every hundred years.

The last time was probably when Wu Ge was in Gumu Town, which was 130 years ago.

Once Wu Ge becomes powerful, it's uncertain how long it will take for the gate to the spirit world to reappear.

At that time, Wu Ge was still a little anxious.

it's good now.

The gate to the spirit world has reappeared.

But it happened prematurely, when its own strength was not yet sufficient.

Let alone looking for Masked Cat.

Wu Ge might not even survive now.

Not to mention he also had to figure out how to get out of the spirit world.

Wu Ge knew that standing still wouldn't work, so he slowly began to feel his way around.

Although it was my first time here, it was definitely not a good idea for a living creature to stay in one place where an inanimate object should be.

Perhaps one's own body exudes some kind of 'living aura,' which attracts those dead souls.

'What is that...?'

Wu Ge squinted and frowned, using his waveguide to 'see' ahead.

There was a faint humanoid waveguide there.

'Could it be a ghost?'

Wu Ge swallowed hard and quietly backed away.

But he didn't take two steps back.

He immediately stopped in his tracks.

Because another waveguide appeared behind us, a cluster of waveguides shaped like Pikachu.

Followed by.

Waveguides of various shapes began to appear gradually from all directions.

However, their waveguides are all very strange.

It's faint, just a little bit.

Another point is that it is lifeless and stagnant, like a pool of still water.

As long as there are emotional fluctuations, the waveguide will fluctuate.

The waveguides that Wu Ge is currently sensing are completely still, just like the rocks and soil in the real world.
Therefore, it can be basically concluded that the owners of these waveguides are a group of souls who have lost consciousness and are acting on instinct.

in a blink.

Wu Ge suddenly realized that he seemed to be surrounded.

'What are these guys up to? Are they trying to use me as a scapegoat?'

Wu Ge swallowed hard and looked around warily.

No wonder he thought that way.

In the anime, a little spirit girl appears who wants to take Ash and his friends into the spirit world.

I don't know exactly what they're going to do, but it's definitely not going to be inviting Ash and his friends for tea or a meal.

Although Wu Ge cannot see the true faces of these dead souls now.

But he had already imagined it in his mind—a group of expressionless, gray-white walking corpses.

Just as Wu Ge was searching for a way out.

He suddenly noticed a more active waveguide in the center of those dead souls!

Judging from its shape, it appears to be a child.

'Waveguide fluctuations, even if not a living person, are at least a form of thought.'

Wu Ge's mood immediately brightened.

As long as the other party has thoughts.

So they'll definitely know some things, more or less.

Wu Ge twisted his ankle, then took a step and rushed out.

He seized the opportunity, grabbed the child's wrist in an instant, and then rushed away.

Wu Ge's only consolation was that the spirit world did not have the ability to suppress him.

He can also use techniques in the spirit world.

While running forward.

Wu Ge turned his head, opened his eyes, and glanced at it.

A little girl who looked to be only five or six years old, and whose height was only a little over one meter.

The little girl had shoulder-length black hair, and her two big, dark eyes were bright and curious.

These eyes alone are not something a dead soul could possess.

This made Wu Ge breathe a sigh of relief.

As long as what you catch isn't something weird or strange, that's fine.

After running several dozen meters further.

After confirming that there were no wandering spirits around, Wu Ge carefully examined the child beside him.

However, upon closer inspection, he realized something was amiss.

This kid.
It looks like a living person?!
"How did you get in?!"

Wu Ge's eyes widened, and he quickly used his wave guide power to ask a question.

Could it be that this child came in after me?
impossible.

In that case, Cora would definitely rush in immediately.

Given her personality.

To save Wu Ge, he would definitely crash headlong into the gate to the spirit world.

It was the middle of the night outside, and there was almost no one around the Pokémon Tower, so naturally no one could stop Lorelei.

But Wu Ge has been inside for so long, and there's still no sign of Kona. This means something has happened outside, preventing the girl from getting in.

The probability of encountering danger is relatively small.

It's highly likely that the gate to the spirit world only appeared for a moment before immediately closing again.

so.
'This child couldn't have come in from behind me.'

Wu Ge muttered something.

"do not know."

The little girl shook her head, her big eyes fixed intently on Wu Ge.

She didn't seem particularly surprised that Wu Ge could speak.

Or rather
This child may lack some common sense and has no idea that it's strange for Pokémon to be able to talk.

"You're so cute, let's play together."

The little girl picked Wu Ge up in one swift motion.

"No, no, this isn't a place to play. Put me down right now, and keep your voice down!"

"Oh."

The little girl was quite obedient and put Wu Ge on the ground.

Wu Ge cautiously scanned his surroundings before continuing to ask:
Do you remember what happened before you came into this world?

"Um, I couldn't sleep in bed. Dad gave me a pill, and Mom sang me a lullaby. I fell asleep, and when I woke up, I came here."

"."

Wu Ge was taken aback.

This child doesn't seem to be a living person.

He had just noticed that the child's waveguide was similar to that of a living person, so he thought the child came from outside.

And
I don't know if it's just Wu Ge's imagination.

He always felt that there was something fishy about the child's death.

Judging from what the child said, it seems that the parents conspired to kill their child with medication.

However, there's no point in speculating about such things; no one can reveal the truth anymore.

Right now, we need to figure out how to leave this place.

"Play with me~ Nobody here plays with me. Everyone else is so quiet and ignores me when I talk to them. Only you are different."

The little girl squatted down and stared at Wu Ge, even reaching out a hand to touch his tail.

"Shh~ Didn't I tell you this isn't a place to play?"

Wu Ge shook his tail.

He has no interest in playing around in the spirit world; he might just collapse at any moment.

"Then I'll take you somewhere else, where there aren't those dull people."

How long have you been here?

Wu Ge's gaze shifted to the little girl.

From what the other person was saying, it was clear that they had been in the spirit world for quite some time.

"Emmm, I don't know."

The little girl looked up and thought for a moment, then shook her head helplessly.

"Okay, that's not important. Take me to the place you mentioned first."

"Okay! I'll carry you! Is that alright?"

The little girl had a happy expression on her face.

She stretched out her arms, wanting to pick Wu Ge up.

"can."

Wu Ge nodded, finding the girl quite polite.

"My name is Yui."

"My name is Wu Ge."

"Wu Ge, can you be my friend?"

"can."

Wu Ge nodded, but felt a pang of pity in his heart.

Because this child is destined to perish in this spirit world.

Don't know how long.

But that day will come eventually.

In the spirit world, the souls of the dead enter the vortex of reincarnation one by one in the order of their death.

This process will not end.

Otherwise, the spirit world would be insufficient to accommodate the constant influx of departed souls.

and so.

Even the most fortunate will one day be reborn.

Wu Ge wouldn't mind becoming friends with her during these last moments and creating some memorable moments together before he dies.

"Hehe~ You're Yui's first friend~"

"Really? I'm honored."

Wu Ge grinned.

He used waveguides to keep a constant vigilance of his surroundings.

Occasionally, other spirits would pass by, but they would not react to Wu Ge and You Yi.

"Yui, is everyone in this world like this?"

"Hmm? If you're talking about humans, yes."

"And what about the others? Non-human beings."

Wu Ge sensed a hidden meaning in You Yi's words.

"Some Pokémon are not."

Yui shook her head and brought her nose close to Wu Ge's head, letting the tip of her nose rub against the short downy hair.

"for example?"

"Hmm, some big guys, they all look alike, and they look a bit scary."

'The Night Demon.'

Wu Ge nodded, immediately guessing the Pokémon that Youyi was talking about.

The spirit world is the stronghold of the demons of the night.

Almost all the Night Demons reside in the Spirit Realm, but Wu Ge couldn't guess their exact number.

At least in the real world, encountering the Night Demon is not an easy thing.

unless
Someone died nearby.

"And there are some animals that come from outside. They are very fierce and will attack me."

"Well."

Wu Ge frowned.

The animals that came from outside were probably Pokémon that had strayed into the Spirit World Gate or were sucked in by it.

In this place where there is no food, no water, and no sun.

Come in.

Death was essentially inevitable.
