Pokémon: The Sims.

Chapter 252 Competition System Reform, Starting Again

The next day.

The round of 32 matches were played in the morning.

Wu Ge and his group boarded the bus to Zhenxin Town in the afternoon.

There's not much to say about the duel with Kikuko.

The three level 70+ Elite Four Ghost-type Pokémon stood there, beating Wu Ge and his two companions like they were babies.

After arriving in Pallet Town, they continued south to a port in southern Kanto and boarded a ship bound for the fourth island of the Seven Islands.

on board.

"Sigh, I didn't win the championship. I hope those brats will laugh at me when I get back."

Kona sighed dramatically.

In fact, his smugness was practically overflowing.

She certainly knew that she had achieved good results.

Don't tell me you're only ten years old.

Even at eighteen, making it to the top 32 in the competition is something to brag about.

"Alright, let's hurry back. I want to eat Mom's cooking."

Wu Ge lay in Lucario's arms like a baby, crossing his legs like a grandpa.

"Lucario! Don't spoil him too much! What kind of behavior is this?!"

Kona glared at Wu Ge.

She walked over and snatched Wu Ge back, then rubbed his buttocks with her hand.

"Hmph, you're just jealous of me!"

Wu Ge tossed his head and wagged his chubby little tail.

Where to go next?

"Take a couple of days off. Didn't Mom tell you to go to Pokémon Academy a few days ago?"

Wu Ge sighed.

I can't help but marvel at how energetic children are.

But it was him.

I'm already feeling a bit tired after accompanying Ke on this trip for half a year.

It's not that I'm physically tired.

It's mental exhaustion.

The exhaustion of taking care of a child.

He just wanted to rest for a while.

Fortunately, when I contacted Lorelei's mother at the Pokémon Center a few days ago, she said that she would send Lorelei to Pokémon Academy once Lorelei returned.

Then Wu Ge can finally relax.

"Lucario, do you want to come to school with me?"

Kona seemed to have suddenly come up with a brilliant idea, and turned to look at the standing dog.

".?"

Lucario can be quite helpless sometimes.

He couldn't understand what was going on in this human child's mind.

He turned to look at Wu Ge, hoping that this adult could persuade him.

"You can go too."

Wu Ge yawned.

"Wangwu?"

Lucario looked surprised and doubtful.

It seems like they're asking Wu Ge if he's serious.

"Haven't you realized you're out of touch with the world? Even though you're a Pokémon from the past, your future is this completely new era, and you probably don't even know as much as Lorelei, a little kid."

Wu Ge shook his head and patted Lucario's arm.
"Don't underestimate Pokémon Academy; there's a lot of knowledge there that I don't even know."

"it is good."

Lucario nodded.

He was somewhat reluctant to go to school with the children.

But he believed what Wu Ge said.

"Hehe! Piplup, once Lucario comes with me, there won't be anyone to serve you anymore, aren't you angry?"

Kona poked Wu Ge's little butt.

“Mom will naturally take care of me in place of Lucario.”

Wu Ge glanced at her speechlessly.

Kona's mother took such good care of him that no dog could ever match her care.

After all, there are many things dogs can't do.

Let's just put it that way.

In the days when Wu Ge was first taken in by Kona and was still a baby, Kona's mother would even put a loincloth on him every day.

"Pooh!"

Kona pouted and ignored him.

Time passed little by little.

After several hours of sea breeze, they arrived at the fourth island.

"We'll probably be staying here a bit longer from now on. How does that feel?"

Wu Ge turned to look at Lucario beside him.

"The sound of the sea is very loud."

Lucario instinctively closed his eyes and used his waveguide to sense his surroundings.

"I'm not asking you to use a waveguide to see, but to use your naked eye to see what the scenery is like and whether the environment is comfortable."

"The air is humid."

"Yes, that's exactly how it is here."

Wu Ge nodded.

For creatures like Lucario with thick fur, humid air is definitely not a good thing.

But for Wu Ge, a Water-type Pokémon, this environment is very comfortable.

They chatted as they walked home.

When you get home.

Kona's mom has already prepared delicious desserts and is waiting for them.

"Mom~"

Upon seeing her mother after so long, Cona raised her arms and rushed to her.

"Bogarman~ Long time no see~"

Mom ignored Kona and picked up Wu Ge in one swift motion, first pinching his tail.

"mom!"

Kona shouted angrily.

"What's wrong?"

Mom turned to look at Kona, gave her a perfunctory touch on the face, then looked at the dog and reached out her hand.

"Ah, this must be Lucario. He looks like a good baby. Come on in, we're family now." "Ooh-woo!"

Lucario was startled for a moment when his mother patted his head.

He hadn't been treated so gently in a long time.

Wu Ge sensed Lucario's inner aura and couldn't help but chuckle to himself.

Gentle and friendly humans are very attractive to Pokémon, and can easily win a Pokémon's heart.

Wood Gecko, Chimchar, Torkoal, Gliscor.
These are all Pokémon captured by Ash's Awful nature.

Although Ash is quite straightforward when it comes to women, he's a total softie when it comes to Pokémon.

"Alright, when Dad comes home tonight, we'll invite the neighbors over for dinner in the yard. Everyone saw how you two, Kona and Bogarman, did. The younger brothers and sisters on the island really admire you."

"Really? Hehehe..."

Kona, upon being praised, immediately forgot all the anger she had just suffered.

She scratched the back of her head sheepishly, then rushed into her room.

Wu Ge didn't even need to think to know.

This kid definitely needs to dress up and mentally prepare a speech so he can brag about it tonight.

Ordinary daily life, ordinary arrival.

After resting at home for a week, Lorelei and Lucario were sent to study on the Fifth Island.

The Fifth Island is the most open of the Seven Islands, home to famous attractions such as Pokémon Academy, luxury resorts, the Hole of No Return, the Water Labyrinth, and the Tower of Memories.

This place is known as the 'Island Where Time Passes Slowly'.

The distance between the fifth island and the fourth island is not far, but it is certainly not close either.

It takes one or two hours to go back and forth.

However, the academy sends a special yacht to pick up students from each island, so it doesn't bother parents.

Pokémon Academy has requirements.

Each student can only bring one Pokémon to school.

Originally, Kona was dragging Wu Ge along, insisting on taking him with her.

But Wu Ge didn't want to go.

He just wanted to stay home, watch TV with his mom, and get some rest.

And if he goes, Lucario won't be able to go.

So in the end, it was Lorelei's mother who spoke up, which allowed Lorelei and Lucario to go to school together.

"When can I travel with Bogarman again?"

"We'll talk about it after you graduate from the academy."

"Eh~"

"Lorelei is a trainer who made it to the top 32 in the Kanto Tournament. Graduation must be a piece of cake for you, right?"

With just a few words, Mom coaxed Kena into going to school.

In the blink of an eye.

A year has passed.

The year is now 180 in the Alliance calendar.

That year, Lorelei was 13 years old and graduated from Pokémon Academy.

It is worth mentioning that.

On the first day of the year before last, the league officially launched the 'Gym Leader Selection Contest'.

However, the prerequisite for registering for the competition is that you must have won at least one regional championship.

and so.

The intensity of regional battle tournaments has increased rather than decreased.

Many hidden masters have emerged in various regions and started participating in regional competitions to qualify for the Gym Leader Tournament.

All of this was within the league's expectations.

This is why the dojo system hasn't been implemented yet.

One.

The problem is that there aren't enough gym leaders on the League side.

You have to choose.

Second.

These last three years are meant to save those veteran trainers some trouble by allowing them to obtain registration qualifications, and the league might even gain a group of strong trainers.

Otherwise, once the dojo system is implemented, they might become too lazy to challenge dojos everywhere.

Until the beginning of this year.

Only then did the league begin to implement the dojo system.

With eight major avenues from various regions launching simultaneously, adults in their twenties and above sighed in disappointment, while young people cheered.

It is almost certain that many new and veteran trainers will emerge in the next few years.

New trainers are jumping on the bandwagon.

Veteran trainers strive to qualify for the gym selection tournament.

The competition will remain much fiercer.

But at least it won't produce a bunch of gym champions like it did in the 177 Kanto Tournament.

Wait until two more years.

The alliance underwent internal reforms, organizing special forces such as international police and relic exploration teams, and aggressively recruiting skilled trainers.

In addition, the positions of the king and the champion were determined.

This regional competition can basically be turned into a baby cup.

this day.

On the table.

"Bogarman~ Are you ready to go on a trip with Kobe? Are you excited?"

"No, I still want to stay with my mom."

"You stinky Bogarman! I don't like you anymore!"

The girl sitting next to Wu Ge snatched his rice bowl away.

The little girl from back then has now grown into a graceful young woman.

Wu Ge couldn't help but marvel at how fast children develop these days; at only thirteen years old, he was already approaching 1.7 meters tall.

Kona's height is clearly approaching 1.8 meters.

"If you don't like it, you don't like it. Why are you taking his food bowl?!"

Snapped!
Mom rolled her eyes at Kona, snatched Wu Ge's small bowl back, and continued to feed him with a small spoon.

Over the past two and a half years, Wu Ge has been constantly honing his skills in acting cute and charming, making his mother completely smitten with him.

"whee."

Wu Ge glanced at Kona.

But what I said just now was just to comfort my mother.

In fact, Wu Ge really wanted to travel with Ke Tu.

After all, I had been idle at home for two and a half years, and the farthest place I had been was a few other islands.

Wu Ge is getting a bit too bored.

It's time to get out and about.
