Pokémon: The Sims.

Chapter 257 I'm still standing

The time came to noon.

After lunch, Wu Ge and the others finally understood why the old man had said it wasn't time yet.

After lunch, the Pokémon living nearby came running out of the forest and lay in the soft, fragrant flowerbeds to sunbathe or play.

Some Pokémon seemed to have become quite familiar with the old man, unceremoniously jumping from the rooftop into the house and finding a comfortable spot to settle down.

The once quiet cabin in the woods suddenly became lively.

Wow! So many Pokémon! How did so many of them come here?!

Kona watched the little ones running around the room.

I casually scooped up a weasel with a swimming ring, stretched out my neck, and kissed it twice.

Swim ring weasel: Aren't you being a little presumptuous?

"Hmph, I haven't stayed in this forest for nothing for fifty or sixty years. Many of these children were born in this little house of mine, and they trust me completely."

The old man proudly raised his chin.

Sudden.

A 'click' sound rang out.

"Ouch."

He quickly supported his back and sat down on the sofa next to him.

He tilted his chin too high and strained his back.

aside.

"Go!"

Wu Ge wagged his tail.

He was watching TV when a little cat came over and rubbed against him.

The Pokémon Nekomamushi generates electricity whenever it moves its muscles.

So it's almost fair to say that the cat monster is always carrying electricity, but in most cases this electricity won't harm others.

But even so.

Wu Ge still felt a slight tingling sensation in the areas where the cat monster had rubbed against him.

He's a Water-type Pokémon his whole life, and he hates this feeling.

Lucario, located a little to the side, had a similar feel to it, with several clingy little Pokémon attached to it.

These are probably all newborns, who can't even speak clearly yet.

Sudden.

'Lord Wu Ge!'

Lucario suddenly looked in a certain direction outside the house.

'Yes, I sensed it.'

Wu Ge frowned and nodded slightly, then hesitated for a few seconds before thinking to himself,

'Lucario, I'd like to ask you to go check on him.'

'Yes. '

Lucario nodded and silently darted out of the cabin.

There are many Pokémon in the wooden house.

Lorelei and the old man were engrossed in playing with the Pokémon and didn't notice Lucario's departure.

Just now, he and Lucario sensed a large group of humans and Pokémon's auras suddenly appearing in the forest not far away.

The key is
The feeling conveyed by these waveguides doesn't seem like that of a benevolent being.

Let's take Wu Ge's perception of waveguides in the spirit world as an example for comparison.
These people's waveguides are even more 'evil' than Gengar's waveguides.

and.

This group of people is clearly in a state of 'tension' right now, as if they are doing something extraordinary.

Wu Ge guessed that this group of people might be some criminals who were trying to escape from the Alliance police.

If it were placed normally.

So Wu Ge and Lucario went to take a look.

But not today.

Kona and the old man are both here.

The house also has surrounding flowerbeds and a large number of still-weak Pokémon.

He prioritized the safety of these people and Pokémon.

Five minutes passed.

Lucario hasn't returned yet, and his and the group's waveguides have already moved out of his perception range.

This made Wu Ge feel somewhat anxious.

"Suck~"

At this moment, the old man next to Wu Ge sniffed and quickly stood up.
"Fire! Lucky Kappa!"

"Rumba!"

The hapless kappa came over and handed a cane to the old man.

Then the two of them rushed out.

".?"

Wu Ge was completely dumbfounded.

No.

That old man ran faster than Cora, so what was the point of having that cane?

and.

This nose is too sensitive.

"Bogaman! Grandpa says there's a fire in the forest! Let's hurry and put it out!"

Kona, holding Wu Ge, was about to rush out.

"No, you stay here!"

Wu Ge kicked the Kona away and walked towards the door.

"I am coming too!"

"You stay here! This isn't just a fire! In short, you stay here, protect them, and prevent the fire from spreading!"

Wu Ge pointed to the room full of cubs,

"Kona, if you leave too, and the fire spreads, do you think they'll be able to escape?"

"Hmm, then I'll stay!"

Kona turned her head.

Looking at the Pokémon staring at her with their innocent, big eyes, she immediately understood what she had to do.

She is a water-type trainer.

With Chenglong and the others around, even if the flames spread, they won't be able to harm these little guys for a while.

"Then I'll leave this to you."

Wu Ge nodded and turned to leave.

That group of people had already gone far away, and in what direction...
Lizhi Lake.

Wu Ge guessed that the group's target was Arknom.

'What's going on? The Galactic Team won't make a move for at least another twenty years, right? Could it be the predecessor to the Galactic Team?!'

Wu Ge looked troubled.

Lizhi Lake is a few kilometers away from here.

The only threat to Kona is fire, but with Lapras around, that shouldn't be a problem.

Six months have passed. Now, Lapras is Lv.58 and Cloyster is Lv.51, both of which are considered very powerful Water-type Pokémon.

They will probably both reach the dojo level next year.

Besides, there's Slowpoke and the evolved Dewsaur and Froslass.

This small fire poses no threat to Cona.

At worst, the Snow Fairy can just fly away with Lorelei.

at the moment.

He still wanted to go and check on Lucario's situation.

Use lightning speed to travel.

A journey of several kilometers takes only two or three minutes in Wu Ge.

Three minutes later.

Wu Ge arrived at Lizhi Lake.

In the anime, roughly twenty years from now, a small resort will be built around Lake Ritsu, featuring the famous Lakeside Hotel and Seven Star Restaurant, which are well-known throughout Sinnoh.

The future Mikkuri Cup and Sinnoh Grand Contest will be held here.

But now.

There is only a dense forest here.

What happened before his eyes caused Wu Ge's expression to change drastically.

The old man and Lucario stood by the lake, their bodies completely blackened, while Lucario knelt beside them, panting heavily, seemingly suffering from burns.

"Hey, what the hell?! Even Lucario can't beat it?"

Wu Ge swallowed hard and looked across at them.

There were only five people in total, all wearing gray cloaks and whose faces were not visible.

Each of them had a Pokémon by their side.
From left to right:

Crowhead, Tank Skunk, Duckbill Flame Beast, Dragon Scorpion, Weavile.

'Everyone's a villain, huh?'

Wu Ge gritted his teeth, his gaze fixed on the duckbill fire beast standing in the center.

Obviously.

This is the guy who beat Lucario up like that.

Even if Lucario's type is not advantageous, it shouldn't be so badly defeated that it has to kneel on one knee.

This Magmortar is definitely at the Elite Four level, and even higher than Lucario.

The four people next to them didn't look like easy targets either.

It's probably four Gym Leader level Pokémon.

Wu Ge realized that he could only take down one at most, and that one had to be the weakest one.

His current level is Lv.59, and he has not yet reached the Gym level.

However, with the power of waveguides, leaping a few levels shouldn't be a problem.

But it was all in vain.

There are five of them on the other side!

They only have three here.

Moreover, the level of the Lotte Kappa is not high; it may not even be as high as Wu Ge's.

How to fight this?
Can't fight.

Wu Ge was extremely anxious at this moment, and quickly sent a telepathic message to Lucario.

'Take the old man and leave first. Their objective is unlikely to succeed; survival is the priority!'

'Shout, I can't move'

Lucario looked pained.

Wu Ge looked closely.

Only then did they notice two teeth marks on Lucario's left calf and two cuts on his right ankle.

With a casual glance, he confirmed that it was caused by the Dragon King Scorpion and Weavile.

"Old man, get out of here. We just want to capture Arknom, we don't want to kill anyone."

The gray-clad man standing in the center rubbed his fingers together and looked up at the old man.

"Pah! Ridiculous! This fire you set will claim the lives of countless Pokémon in this forest, and now you're telling me you don't want to kill?"

The old man spat at the gray-clad man in front of him and sneered viciously.

"Rumba rumba~"

The Lucky Kappa also made a provocative face and waved its arms and legs at the people opposite it.

"You old geezer, don't push your luck. Kneel down obediently to the side and we'll pretend you don't exist."

The man in gray on the far right stepped forward, pulled out a pistol, and pointed it at the old man.

"My back and legs are indeed not very good, but you want me to kneel down before you bunch of born children? Heh, would you eat shit or not?"

The old man grinned, his mouth full of blood, but he showed no fear.

"Stubborn."

The man in gray pursed his lips, raised the gun in his hand, and was about to pull the trigger.

Almost at the same time.

Wu Ge used his incredible speed to crash hard into his back.

The powerful force sent him flying into the Lake of Ambition. The intense pain made the gray-clad man forget how to swim, and he struggled incessantly in the water.

"accustomed to?!"

The gray-clad man's Pokémon, Weavile, rushed out and jumped into the lake to save its trainer.

Bang bang!

However, what Wu Ge did not expect was...

There was more than one man in black pointing a gun; the man in black standing on the far left had also pointed a gun and fired two shots.

He couldn't care less about the old man or Lucario's situation.

He quickly spun around and kicked another man in black next to him.

"Flame Fist".

The voice sounded.

The fist, burning with flames, slammed into Wu Ge, sending him flying a great distance before he crashed into a tree trunk.

'Lord Wu Ge...'

Lucario's anxious voice rang out.

I'm fine.

Although Wu Ge suffered a heavy blow, he was not yet completely defeated.

The duckbill fire beast's fist was fast, its stats overwhelming Wu Ge's use of Divine Speed. With just this one strike, he could judge that the duckbill fire beast's level was probably around Lv.76.

So even if he sensed the attack, his body couldn't react in time.

Fortunately, fire attacks reduce his damage by half, otherwise he would have been killed in one hit.

Wu Ge stood up and quickly looked in the direction where the old man was.

Blood flowed down the old man's arms and calves, into the shore of Lizhi Lake behind him.

There were bullet holes in the old man's shoulder and thigh.

But he still stood there, leaning on his canes, his body trembling, and gave the gray-clad men in front of him a disdainful smile:

"See? I'm still standing here."
