Pokémon: The Sims.

Chapter 4 Unicorn Beetle Enhancement Path
Wu Ge did not watch Xiao Mei eat the caterpillars.

The scene was so beautiful just to think about it that he dared not look at it.

'I think I know what this world is all about now.'

Wu Ge, a lone insect, stood on a tree branch, gazing thoughtfully at the lake not far away.

Based on his observations over the past few days, he discovered that this Pokémon world is very different from the one he knew.

In short, it belongs to the "dark version" of the Pokémon world.

Not only do Pokémon eat each other, but each of these Pokémon is also much larger than the average size listed in the Pokédex.

Another point.

This forest is ridiculously lush, like stepping into ancient times.

I didn't really have a concept of it before, but now, by comparing it to my own height, I've discovered that even the shortest tree in the vicinity is over ten meters tall and has a diameter of over five meters.

This might not seem like much in the world of my previous life, but this is the world of Pokémon.

In the Pokémon anime, the trees that appear are generally not tall, at most five or six meters, and quite a few are three or four meters tall.

Based on various signs, an idea popped into Wu Ge's mind.

Is it possible that the Pokémon world he arrived in was indeed the world he knew, but...
This was not a peaceful and tranquil era of alliances.

Instead, it was the Warcraft era, a time of constant warfare.

It could even be from an even more ancient, prehistoric era, but the chaotic era before that is absolutely impossible.

Based on what we've seen so far, Wu Ge believes it's more likely to be the Warcraft era.

After all, he had seen the Applefruit in the game's encyclopedia before. It was a fruit that had existed since the League era and hadn't changed at all. It couldn't have looked like this in the ancient times hundreds of millions of years ago.

'If this were the Warcraft era, then everything would make sense.'

Wu Ge turned his gaze back to what was behind him.

Xiao Mei had finished eating and lay down on the tree branch with her eyes closed, seemingly planning to take a nap.

Seeing this, Wu Ge ate his fill of fruit on the tree, then found two leaves to cover himself and went to sleep.

Pokémon life is so boring.

Eat, sleep, eat; always on the path of healthy growth.

But when Wu Ge woke up again, he felt like the sky had fallen.

Because Xiaomei has also evolved into a metal-shelled pupa!

This means that his three-insect squad has once again become a one-insect squad.

Just as Wu Ge was hesitating about whether to go and recruit his underlings on his own, a thin, panting unicorn worm suddenly crawled up to him.

When he came up and saw a unicorn beetle and an iron-shelled pupa on the tree trunk, he was startled. However, he did not have the strength to go down again, and he would fall to his death if he jumped down directly.

With no other option, the skinny unicorn had to adopt a fighting stance, hoping to scare Wu Ge away.

But his body was trembling, and he looked very scared.

'At only 0.35 meters tall, that would definitely be considered underdeveloped in the Warcraft era.'

Wu Ge had only been in this world for a week, and this was the first time he had ever seen a unicorn worm that was even thinner than himself.

Even a small mosquito is still meat!

Wu Ge looked at the tiny unicorn beetle and revealed an evil smile.

One minute later.

Wu Ge has gained another wounded follower, whom he has named Xiao Bai!

The reason is that this tiny unicorn beetle has a large, hard thorn on its head, but this thorn is pure white!

After Wu Ge's investigation and questioning, he discovered that Xiao Bai's body contained very low levels of toxins, which may be related to the fact that he had previously consumed mainly the leaves of ordinary shrubs.

Although shrub leaves are easy to eat and are found everywhere, they contain fewer trace amounts of toxins than tree leaves, and therefore do not have a good effect on the accumulation of toxic energy in the body of the unicorn beetle.

This made Wu Ge realize something.

No wonder the unicorn beetle's illustrations and instincts both indicate that it eats leaves.

It turns out that this is to absorb trace amounts of toxins from the leaves and enhance the potency of the poison.

While eating fruit is more nutritious and can accelerate physical growth, it's not very conducive to the development of poison attributes. Previously, Xiaobai was weak and lacked stamina, unable to climb trees, and could only survive by eating shrub leaves like Wu Ge had before.

"Eat as much fruit as you like from this tree!"

"Buzz! (Thank you! Wu Ge!)"

Upon hearing Wu Ge's words, Xiao Bai was so moved that tears streamed down her face.

He ate a sweet and juicy wild apple while tears streamed down his face.

He couldn't grasp the concept of companions; he only knew that this was Wu Ge's territory, yet Wu Ge was willing to share the food there with him.

Therefore, he was very grateful to Wu Ge.

From now on, whoever Wu Ge tells him to hit, he will hit!

Wu Ge ignored Xiao Bai's thanks and instead focused on planning the future configuration of the team.

He now knows the two paths to enhance the Unicorn.

One is edible fruit.

Taking this path is equivalent to physical cultivation in fantasy novels. Your physique will grow exceptionally well, making you incredibly strong, with higher physical attack power, and you'll be much more resilient.

Another option is to rely on instinct to eat leaves, or even poisonous substances.

This is similar to a magic cultivator in fantasy novels, accumulating poison energy within the body to enhance poison-attribute damage.

For Pokémon that live in the wild, the former path is clearly more suitable for survival.

Because most Pokémon judge the strength of their opponents by their size, the larger they are, the more likely they are to scare their opponents away.

Moreover, Beedrill is known for its physical attacks and speed.

Beedrill is definitely not a weak Pokémon; its base stat distribution is unconventional.

If you want beepers to develop in a balanced way, that would be putting the cart before the horse.

The reason why wild Beedrill are not strong in solo combat is twofold: firstly, they cannot make more informed battle decisions without the guidance of a trainer; and secondly, they probably went astray by eating too many leaves as growth materials in the past.

From now on, everyone must eat tree fruits!

Wu Ge had already made up his mind.

He wants to lead his underlings to become the overlord of this forest, monopolize a large area of ​​tree fruits, and cultivate a devilish, muscular bee colony!

I have finished thinking.

It took a lot of mental effort.

I'm going to eat, eat, eat!
After eating, Wu Ge lay down and went to sleep with Xiao Bai and Xiao Mei, who had turned into an iron-shelled pupa.

When I woke up, it was already evening.

Xiao Mei and Xiao Bai were still sleeping nearby.

Wu Ge felt as if he had grown a little taller, and it felt like something inside him was about to burst out.

"Let's take a look at the panel."

[Unicorn Beetle]

[Potential]: White

[Level]: Lv.8
[Attribute]: Insect/Poison

[Characteristic]: Escape
Height: 0.45m
[Weight]: 4.5kg
[Skills]: Poison Needle, Silk Spray

"Yeah, I'm such a fat worm."

Wu Ge glanced at his height and weight and nodded in satisfaction.

We've managed to make up for some of our inherent shortcomings; we're not quite catching up to the average, but we're not far off.

"Does this mean I'm about to evolve? Not yet, Little White is too weak, one insect can't protect me at all."

Wu Ge suppressed the surging sensation within him.

The feeling wasn't strong yet, and he could suppress it. He decided to accumulate more and strive to reach the average level before evolving.

After surviving the pupa stage, it can reach the average level of a beetle.
