Pokémon: The Sims.

Chapter 320 Let's see if she's worthy.
The League has been in existence for 184 years.

Shenhe Town.

The blonde girl packed her bags and stepped out of her house.

More than a year ago, at the end of the 182nd year of the League calendar.

Cynthia participated in the Sinnoh Regional Tournament.

The three Pokémon had an average level of Lv.38, and they couldn't even make it into the playoffs.

the following year.

The League has been in existence for 183 years.

Cynthia learned some inside information from her mother about the upcoming reforms to the league's competition format.

She learned that to challenge the League of Legends in the future, a team with at least six Pokémon would be needed.

then.

Cynthia did not rush to participate in the next regional tournament.

She chose to take her three partners to reflect and see if she could find a few more partners.

It's almost the end of the year.

Cynthia did indeed catch two more Pokémon.

They are respectively the Flower Rock Monster and the Sea Hare Beast in its Western Sea form.

The Flower Rock Monster is the child of the Flower Rock Monster from Xunlan and a wild Dream Demon.

Gastrodon is a Pokémon that Cynthia caught during her travels.

It started as a tiny, shell-less sea hare.

period.

Cynthia has also met some other Pokémon that she admires or that want to follow her.

But for some reason.

Cynthia has always left one spot open on the team.

Until the beginning of this year.

The Pokémon League has officially announced a reform of its competition format.

To register for the regional tournament, you need to challenge eight gyms and earn eight badges.

Furthermore, the regional tournament's elimination rounds have been changed from the original 3v3 arena matches to 6v6 arena matches.

this means.

Even if Cynthia's team obtains eight badges, it's not enough to qualify for the regional tournament.

She needs to find one last partner!
This is also due to the reform of the competition system.

Cynthia has decided to travel to other regions this year and try her luck challenging other leagues.

But until then.

She needs to find her last companion first.

"Are you getting ready to go find Riolu?"

Xunlan looked at her determined daughter and a look of relief appeared on her face.

After two years of experience.

Cynthia is no longer the rookie trainer she once was.

She believes that her daughter can now gain Riolu's approval.

"Yes! I want to travel with Riolu. My team can't be without Riolu."

Cynthia nodded emphatically.

This is why Cynthia's team wasn't at full strength.

From the very beginning, before I even stepped out of my home and started traveling.

She had already made up her mind.

My future team must include that Riolu!

Even in some future matches.

She might need to train more Pokémon, or temporarily replace a certain Pokémon, but she would never consider replacing Riolu.

Riolu needs to stay in the team, by your side.

Just like Garchomp!
Dr. Yamanashi has promised Cynthia that he will take her to the foot of Wolf Mountain where Riolu lives.

She believed she could capture Riolu this time!

Because she and Garchomp and the others have been training very hard.

The goal is to defeat Riolu and make him willingly join his team.

They are incredibly powerful now!
"Take care on your journey."

"Okay! I'm off, Mom."

. . .

The Great Wolfhound family of today is not what it used to be.

The tribe has as many as 130 large wolfhounds, and 20 hungry wolfhound puppies.

These three mountains, five ridges, and two forests are located in the northernmost part of the Baiyin Mountains.

Now all of them fall under the jurisdiction of the alliance between the Great Wolfhound and the Queen Bee.

Three mountains.

It refers to Langshan, Huashan, and Yanshan.

The Five Ridges.

These are five smaller mountains surrounding Langshan and Huashan.

Two forests.

It's just two plains and forests.

These areas have remained largely unchanged, and the wolf and bee tribes have been too lazy to care about the Pokémon living in these places.

As long as they don't do anything big.

Live the way you lived before, and live the way you live now.

Wu Ge originally did not intend to expand the territory of the Great Wolfhound clan, because that would lead to a dispersion of power.

But later we had no choice but to do it.

The wolf population is growing stronger.

The area around Langshan is already starting to feel a bit crowded.

Once the environment becomes crowded, the tribe members will start to become somewhat irritable, and fights will often break out within the tribe, which will hinder unity.

That's something Wu Ge didn't want to see.

Another point.

Each wolfhound has different preferences.

Some large wolfhounds prefer to live on mountaintop plains, some prefer to live in mountainside forests, but some prefer to live on bare rocky mountains or flat plains and forests.

To allow everyone to go and live or play in places they like.

Wu Ge then joined forces with the neighboring Bee Queen clan to expand their territory.

Originally, the queen bee clan was not interested.

But Wu Ge said they could use more land to grow flowers and plants and obtain more honey.

So the queen bee was eventually persuaded.

Langshan Waterfall.

Wu Ge sat beneath the waterfall, letting the water cool his mind.

He has been feeling irritable lately.

Because he is already Lv.52, but still hasn't evolved into Lucario.

Wu Ge felt that he had a very good relationship with Wolf Mom and his underlings.

If there were any levels of friendliness or intimacy, then it would have already reached a level sufficient for evolution.

But he didn't understand.

Why haven't I evolved yet?

The wolf mother occasionally worries about this issue, but she doesn't particularly care.

Whether Wu Ge is Riolu or Lucario, it doesn't really matter to Wolf Mom.

They're all dogs.

half year ago.

Wu Ge once went to Dr. Yamanashi's research institute to ask him to check if there were any problems with his body.

For example, like Bogarman in his previous life, his body developed some problems that prevented him from evolving.

But it didn't.

Dr. Yamanashi said he was in very good health.

It's even so healthy that it's almost beyond the standard, to the point that we need to change the Pokémon Riolu's record data in the League.

exactly.

Dr. Yamanashi was quite interested in the problems that had arisen with Wu Ge.

Because he is a Pokémon professor who specializes in studying 'evolution'.

The fact that such a healthy and powerful Riolu could not evolve into Lucario sparked his interest in research.

After six months of extensive research and testing.

Dr. Yamanashi believes.

Wu Ge's inability to evolve is due to psychological reasons.

How exactly should it be treated?

Professor Yamanashi only gave one piece of advice: find a trainer you like, and who likes you too, travel together, and forge a deep friendship.

This completely stunned Wu Ge.

Doesn't this mean he should wait for Cynthia to come to him?
The problem has dragged on for so long and still hasn't been resolved.

Wu Ge inevitably feels irritable from time to time.

But for him, who possesses waveguide power and can control waveguides...

This feeling of irritability usually only lasts for a short while before disappearing.

So it doesn't have much of an impact.

Just now.

"Wang!"

A dog barked nearby.

Immediately afterwards, a large wolfhound emerged and barked at Wu Ge a few times.

"Are humans coming up the mountain?"

Wu Ge frowned.

In the past year or so, there have been instances of humans accidentally wandering into Wolf Mountain.

But they usually run away after being scared by the large wolfhounds.

And this time.

This person was heading straight up the mountain.

That was undoubtedly done with a purpose.

What's on Wolf Mountain?
Isn't it just a bunch of big wolfhounds and hyenas?

"A Pokémon hunter?"

Wu Ge muttered something, then pursed his lips.

"You guys go and take care of it, just get rid of them."

As Wu Ge finished speaking.

Four figures emerged from nearby and leisurely headed down the mountain.

We must not kill humans.

Wu Ge has emphasized this matter to his four underlings more than once.

A wild Pokémon beat someone up.

That's not a big problem.

But if someone is killed.

Regardless of whether the person is good or bad, the wild Pokémon that kills him will basically be taken away.

Whether to supervise or execute the person depends on their status.

and so.

Wu Ge used to repeat it to them almost every day.

I believe they all remember it now.

Near the foot of the mountain.

The blonde girl emerged from a grove of trees.

She reached up and removed the leaf from her head, then straightened the bow at the back of her head.

So much time has passed.

The original black and gold bow has turned somewhat gray.

But Cynthia still couldn't bear to replace it.

She wore this bow today specifically so that if Riolu had forgotten her, at least seeing this bow would remind him a little.

"Riolu should be near the mountainside, right? I remember Dr. Yamanashi saying that when he came to Wolf Mountain for field research with Riolu, Riolu usually stayed around the waterfall area near the mountainside."

Cynthia twitched her ears.

She was trying to listen to the sound of the flowing water.

If you can find the sound of flowing water, you should be able to find the waterfall.

Whizzing.

Just then, a tremor ran through the nearby woods.

Cynthia remained unfazed, calmly placing her hand on the Poké Ball at her waist.

next moment.

Four Pokémon that looked rather fierce emerged.

"Ok?"

Cynthia frowned.

As she looked at the snorkeling weasel and the poison scorpion frog, memories of two years ago flashed through her mind.

When the Great Wolfhounds came to pick up Riolu, there was a Swim Ring Weasel and a Delinquent in the party.

She felt that these were the two little ones from back then.

However, it has evolved now.

I wonder if Riolu has evolved too.

Cynthia felt a sense of anticipation.

If you can
She hoped Riolu hadn't evolved yet.

Because she wanted to see Riolu evolve with her own eyes.

opposite.

The Poison Skull Frog and the Snorkeling Weasel whispered among themselves, briefly explaining the golden retriever to Dream Song Cactus and Kairos.

in short.

This golden retriever is here to take their boss away.

Floating Weasel: "Taking Wu Ge away isn't impossible. He's so powerful, he can't stay in these mountains forever. The leader also wants him to go out and see the world."

Dream Song Cactus: "I think she's great. She hasn't forgotten Wu Ge even after all this time. It brought tears to my eyes. If a human treated me like that, I would give myself to her."

Kairos: "But it's not good for her to see Wu Ge so easily."

Poisonous Skull Frog: "That's right, why don't we give it a try and see if she's worthy of taking Wu Ge away?"

The four of them discussed it and nodded in agreement.

Then they glared at the blonde girl who was trying to get close to them.
