Pokémon: The Sims.

Chapter 262 Just Going Through the Motions
"Then we can give it a try."

"call."

Wu Ge breathed a sigh of relief.

I finally managed to coax Kona into becoming a Rainbow Warrior.

It's impossible to say that being a Rainbow Warrior has absolutely no advantages.

Ho-Oh may love to show off, but it's not a stingy creature.

When facing the Rainbow Warrior who has completed the trial and stands before you, you will definitely give him some benefits that ordinary people would never be able to access.

Another point.

Lorelei, as a hero candidate chosen by Ho-Oh, arrived at Mt. Azusa to meet Ho-Oh in person with the Rainbow Feather.

Thunder God, Water God, and Flame Emperor.

These three legendary Pokémon were both the Pokémon that challenged Lorelei and her protectors.

If Kona passes the corresponding test and holds the Rainbow Feather, she will receive the protection of the corresponding second-level god.

Simply put, you will receive three level-two bodyguards.

This kind of treatment is quite rare.

"So what should we do next?"

"Let's head towards Tianqing Mountain."

Wu Ge thought for a moment.

He couldn't say for sure where Ho-Oh was right now.

Anyway, if you take the Rainbow Feather to the top of Mt. Azusa or the Bell Tower in Enju City, you'll be able to see Ho-Oh.

"Oh, where is Tianqing Mountain?"

"Yunying Mountain Range".

Wu Ge turned his head to look at the location of Baiyin Mountain in the northeast direction.

More than a hundred years ago, when Ye Zi led him to the territory of the Dragon Clan, Ye Zi mentioned this place.

The Yunying Mountains are actually the southern section of the Baiyin Mountains.

Geographically, it was classified as part of the Kanto region.

But actually it's on the border between Kanto and Johto.

In general.

Tianqingshan is closer to them than Yuanzhu City.

"set off!"

The ship just docked.

Kona put the Rainbow Feather into the inside pocket of her clothes, and slowly walked eastward with Wu Ge in her arms.

"Woof."

Lucario turned his head to look at a corner of Jihua Port.

In the shadows, a pair of red eyes, like tiny flames, were staring at them.

He looked away and followed Cora's steps.

Now that Lucario has learned what that thing is from Wu Ge, he's no longer so curious.

Anyway, there was no malice in that gaze.

Let Him go.

This wasn't Kona's first time visiting the Johto region.

When she was a child, her father came to the Chengdu area to buy goods, and she had also come there before.

In particular, the southern port city of Jihua in the Johto region is not unfamiliar to Kona.

Therefore, the city of Jihua is not very attractive to Kona.

I had afternoon tea.

I bought some supplies.

They then embarked on their journey to Tianqing Mountain.

It's great to have Lucario by my side; I can carry an extra big bag filled with all sorts of daily necessities.

Tents, sleeping bags, pots and pans, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar—everything was provided.

Come out from the east side of Jihua City.

On their way to the Silver Mountains, they had to pass through a barren, rocky mountain range.

This rocky mountain is practically a paradise for some Electric-type Pokémon and Rock-type and Steel-type Pokémon, making it a perfect habitat for them.

I was just passing by.

They saw many Geodude, Magnemite, Diglett, and Skarmory.
It's probably because this rocky mountain is rich in minerals and generates a special magnetic field that it attracts these Pokémon to live here.

Wu Ge raised his hand to stroke a large rock by the roadside, then turned his head to look at the top of the rocky mountain.

"Bogaman, come on, what are you doing standing there?"

Kona walked over and picked Wu Ge up.

"Thunder God".

Wu Ge raised his hand and pointed.

"?"x2
Kona and Lucario quickly looked in the direction he was pointing.

The top of the rocky mountain was empty; nothing could be seen.

"The World Tree told me that Lei Gong is waiting for us ahead."

Wu Ge grinned.

With the World Tree as his eyes, he's practically a penguin with half a map-wide cheat.

Let alone the Thunder God.

He knew roughly where Emperor Yan and the Water Lord were.

"Oh? What should we do now?"

Kona looked down at Wu Ge.

"That goes without saying, just go find Him. The Thunder God's trial is 'courage,' which you have plenty of, right?"

Wu Ge shrugged.

Since Lorelei was chosen by Ho-Oh, it means that Ho-Oh also believes that Lorelei can pass these three trials.

What's more.

The three trials of Lei Gong, Yan Di, and Shui Jun.

The tests should be 'courage', 'justice', and 'benevolence', respectively.

Wu Ge felt that Kona possessed all three qualities.

So I'm not worried about her at all.

Nothing to be afraid of.

Just charge forward!

"Oh! Of course! I just don't know how to write the word 'fear'!"

Kona smiled, picked up Wu Ge, and rushed towards the top of the mountain.

Lucario followed closely behind her.

Ten minutes later.

A terrifying roar came from overhead, accompanied by a bolt of lightning.

The lightning struck Kona with a loud thud right in front of her.

She was so frightened that her face turned pale.

He looked up.

It met Lei Gong's fierce red eyes.

"Damn it! How dare you scare me! Pigasman, use the water cannon!"

"Are you serious?"

Wu Ge raised an eyebrow and looked up at Kona.

"What are you afraid of? Beat him up! If he dares to hit me, I'll pull this out and destroy it along with him if he dares."

Kona took out the rainbow feather from her bosom.

in the sun.

The iridescent light on the feathers shimmered brilliantly. "Okay."

Wu Ge pondered for a moment, then nodded.

Finally, he opened his mouth and unleashed a massive water cannon at the Thunder God!

Lei Gong leaped backward, easily dodging Wu Ge's attack.

He looked down at Kona and Wu Ge, his gaze shifting to the rainbow feather in Kona's hand, and he raised an eyebrow.

Generally speaking.

His trial was not so simple; in fact, it was the most difficult of the three sacred beasts.

They would have to fight the Rainbow Warrior candidate for several rounds, pushing him to the brink of defeat, and testing whether he could recover from such a situation.

But it should be said or not.

He was indeed quite afraid that a bolt of lightning would damage the feather.

Although the Thunder God cannot see it.

But He knew very well that the little madman was hiding in some shadowy spot nearby.

If I damage those feathers, that little madman will definitely pounce on me and bite me.

After a moment's thought.

Thunder God flicked his tail and leaped away casually.

Anyway, the Rainbow Trial is just a formality.

When a person holds a rainbow-colored feather, and the feather has not lost its luster, that person has actually passed the final trial.

Ho-Oh's Trial.

As for the trials of the Three Divine Beasts, it was nothing more than a formality, a mere formality.

How could someone chosen by Ho-Oh not even pass such a simple trial?

What's more.

Kona has just demonstrated her courage, and not reckless courage, but intelligent courage.

Even if this 'wisdom' involves a bit of cleverness.

This was enough to gain Lei Gong's approval.

"Roar!"

Another long howl, like a thunderclap, followed.

Lei Gong's trial ended rather hastily.

"He just left like that?"

"Ah."

Wu Ge nodded.

He had to admit that Cora had been somewhat clever this time.

He never expected that he could use the Rainbow Feather as a shield.

but.

This is probably only effective for the Thunder God, who dislikes trouble.

Emperor Yan and Water Lord won't get through so easily.

But the trials for those two were not difficult in themselves.

Especially the trials of Emperor Yan.

A companion recognized by the two 'Aura Warriors'.

Is it even in your hands, a mere sacred beast, to judge its level of justice?

"Tch, boring. By the way, the Thunder God is so ugly."

Shh! Keep your voice down, are you out of your mind?

Wu Ge quickly covered Kona's mouth with his hand, then turned his head and cautiously looked around.

Lei Gong has the most explosive temper among the three.

If people say that Emperor Yan and the Water God are ugly, they probably don't care at all.

If you say the Thunder God is ugly, be careful, he might actually come back to haunt you.

and.

Lei Gong isn't actually ugly.

He's just a niche type of handsome.

He may not be the most popular of the three legendary beasts, but there are still people who like him.

"Piplup, where is Suijun?!"

Having learned from the previous experience, Kona quickly looked at Wu Ge.

All she wants now is to see Suicune and try to catch it!
"Water Lord is still a long way off. You have to get past Emperor Yan first. He's right there down there."

Wu Ge shook his head.

He pointed to the low-lying plain below the rocky mountain.

"Oh, Emperor Yan! Emperor Yan is quite adorable. Let's go find Him quickly."

"."

Wu Ge remained silent and followed Ke's lead.

After one hour.

They met Emperor Yan on a somewhat desolate grassland.

The two-meter-tall lion stood directly in front of them.

"Tell me! How will the trial proceed this time?"

Kona tucked the rainbow feather into her hair, then strode confidently to the Flame Emperor, looking up at the warm, cuddly cat.

"."

Emperor Yan looked down at her.

"Not saying anything, just pretending to be aloof?"

Kona jumped up and placed Wu Ge on Yan Di's head.

Then I reached out and rubbed the thick fur on its neck.

Wu Ge: "."

Emperor Yan: "."

"excuse me."

Wu Ge said something to the Yan Emperor beneath his buttocks.

Why are you following her?

Emperor Yan sighed, his eyes filled with helplessness.

In other words, He has a good temper and a gentle personality.

If it were Lei Gong instead.

That would definitely be a thunderclap.

"There's no reason why. She's my friend, and the trials you three face are a piece of cake for her. How about we go?"

Wu Ge started to discuss things with Emperor Yan.

The main problem is that, given the current situation, Emperor Yan has no way to verify whether Kona is righteous in a short period of time.

"Users of the power of waveguides, I still approve of your judgment."

Emperor Yan nodded slightly.

Like the Thunder God, He also didn't want to waste time on this.

With Wu Ge and Lucario by her side, it's enough to prove Kona's righteousness.

"Could you give me a hint about the trials on Suijun's side?"

“I don’t know what He’s thinking, but the theme is nothing more than ‘kindness and peace’. You don’t need to worry. Since ancient times, no one chosen by Ho-Oh has ever been stuck in the trial. Now, we’re basically just going through the motions.”

Emperor Yan shook his head, took a step back, and dodged Kona's increasingly audacious little hands.

Given the contributions that the Aura Warriors have made to this world since ancient times, and their connections with many gods.

He can treat Wu Ge and Lucario as peers and engage in dialogue with them.
