Pokémon: The Sims.

Chapter 406 They're Not Bastards
When Wu Ge and Cynthia arrived at Snowflake Wetlands aboard Garchomp.

The surrounding forest and wetlands were engulfed in flames.

Looking down from the sky.

The Pokémon were scattered and running around.

But the surrounding area was a sea of ​​fire, with flames covering a length of more than a hundred meters in any direction. This was no longer a place where one could break through by brute force.

It is highly likely that they were burned to death halfway through the ordeal, or that they inhaled too much smoke and lost their ability to move.

Some powerful Pokémon can remain calm in such situations.

They gathered a group of water-type Pokémon and those who had mastered the Sand Smash move, and together they carved out a path to the outside world.

But many more Pokémon are still running around aimlessly like headless flies.

Pokémon that can go underwater and dig holes are okay.

Even if the speed is fast, Pokémon that are good at flying won't have any major problems.

Other Pokémon would be in a much worse situation.

Even Wu Ge is now feeling a real headache.

He possesses the crown of the sea.

It can envelop its entire body in water, allowing it to safely carry other Pokémon out of the inferno.

But there are just too many Pokémon that need saving.

Using the Crown of the Sea consumes water-based energy within the body. However, Wu Ge's affinity with water is not very good in this life, and he doesn't have much water-based energy in his body. His daily cultivation is only enough to maintain the level of being able to escape with his companions in the event of an emergency.

If used to save people, it will be exhausted after saving only a few Pokémon.

If we get trapped in a sea of ​​fire...

Even Wu Ge could be burned to death.

"Cough cough!"

Thick plumes of smoke billowed continuously from the sea of ​​fire below, rising dozens of meters into the sky.

Cynthia took a drag on her cigarette and couldn't help coughing.

Even Garchomp's eyes were stung by the smoke, causing it to tear up and forcing it to increase its flight altitude.

"No, we must get out of this sky as soon as possible. Garchomp, hold your breath and don't inhale this smoke."

Cynthia held Garchomp in one hand and covered her mouth and nose with the other.

They underestimated the ferocity of the inferno.

The plumes of smoke from the burning plants had already filled the sky above the snow-covered wetlands, making it difficult to see anything concrete from the sky at this moment.

Not to mention determining where people in need of rescue are within the inferno.

Moreover, saving lives is more important right now.

The most important thing is to save yourself first.

Fires produce large amounts of toxic gases, the most important of which is carbon monoxide.

These gases are more deadly than the flames themselves.

Humans once conducted a data survey.

80% of people who die in fires suffocate from inhaling too much toxic smoke rather than being burned by the flames themselves.

Carbon monoxide is colorless, odorless, and non-irritating.

When the concentration of carbon monoxide in the air reaches 1%, a few breaths will cause a human to convulse and lose the ability to move; death is almost certain within five minutes.

The concentration in this area above the sea of ​​fire is not as high as that in the fire below, but it may still be as high as 0.1%.

Humans will experience confusion, dizziness, and nausea within 5-10 minutes in this area, and may fall into a coma or suffer brain death after 30 minutes or more.

Therefore, although this area of ​​the sky was not affected by the flames, it could still be considered a forbidden zone for life.

No wonder there are hardly any Flying-type Pokémon in this sky.

Flying over this sea of ​​fire.

That's extremely dangerous!

Wu Ge and Xiluona were so focused on observing the fire below that they completely forgot about this.

Suddenly, it started to rain.

Wu Ge turned his head and looked.

Firefighters from Snowflake City had arrived at the scene of the fire.

They immediately had their Pokémon use Rain Dance.

Given the extent of the fire, the tiny amount of rain that could be brought down was merely a drop in the ocean and could not possibly be used to extinguish the fire.

The greater purpose of this rain summoning is to cool down the temperature, reduce the spread of flames and smoke, and make the water-type moves used by water-type Pokémon more powerful, thus extinguishing the fire faster.

"Go and meet up with the fire department."

Wu Ge reached up and pulled the Victini off its head, holding it in his arms. He covered its mouth and nose with one hand and pointed to the fire station below with the other.

The most urgent task is to get back to the ground.

Acting alone cannot change the overall trend.

For professional matters, you should find professionals.

Meeting up with the fire department at this point to see if they need any help is clearly better than letting them act on their own.

"Okay! Garchomp, fly over there."

Cynthia patted Garchomp's neck.

Followed by.

They glided through the air toward the fire station.

The appearance of Garchomp startled the firefighters who were putting out the fire, and some Pokémon prepared to launch an attack.

"We're here to help!"

Cynthia quickly waved her hand vigorously in response.

It turned out to be a young girl.

The firefighters breathed a sigh of relief.

It's very common for trainers to help the police and fire department in the Pokémon world.

Even if the random trainers don't offer help.

When necessary, the police and fire department will also proactively seek assistance.

At this moment, in the fire station.

There are many trainers who are not wearing firefighter uniforms.

They are using their Pokémon to help put out the fire, mostly Water-type Pokémon, with some Ground and Rock-type as well.

Take a closer look.

Wu Ge and Xiluona discovered that many of the young racers they had just encountered were among them.

They parked their car a hundred meters away and then ran over with their Pokémon to help put out the fire.

"Thank you for your help."

The fire chief saluted Cynthia, then looked at Garchomp.
"Just use sand or mud to shoot, don't use any other techniques."

Such instructions are necessary.

Because of some tragic past incidents, some trainers believe that sand can extinguish fires, so they have their Pokémon use moves like Sandstorm or Sand Abyss.

However, the flames not only did not subside, but instead spread faster due to the increasingly fierce winds. Therefore...

Later, whenever a random trainer came to help.

The fire department always gives this special instruction.

"Okay! I also have Milotic and Gastrodon."

Cynthia removed the two Poké Balls from her waist.

Two Water-type Pokémon suddenly appeared on the spot.

"Garuda, use Sand Smash."

"Milanos and Gastrodon, use Tide Whirl."

Cynthia immediately gave the order.

The three Pokémon all sprang into action.

"It's you again, kid. Why do you always run to dangerous places?"

The racer girl who had spoken to Cynthia earlier came over.

She put her hands on her hips and looked at Cynthia with a headache.

"My name is Cynthia, and I want to help everyone."

Cynthia's brief reply.

We cannot withhold help just because there is danger.

She believes that everyone thinks the same way.

otherwise.

At this moment, there wouldn't be hundreds of trainers who are complete strangers gathered here.

"My name is Sasha. I'm young, so please take care of your eyes and be careful not to damage them with smoke."

The woman with gray-green hair took off her goggles and put them on Cynthia's face.
"Also, I saw you flying in the sky just now? Don't you know that there are a lot of toxic gases in that thick smoke? If you inhale too much, your Pokémon may lose its ability to fly and take you directly into the sea of ​​fire."

"I know, that's why I came down right away. I'm wearing goggles, what are you using?"

"Me? I have a backup."

Sasha pulled another pair of goggles out of his pocket.

It's normal for these motorcyclists to carry around several pairs of goggles.

Wu Ge, who was standing next to him, was wondering whether he should fire a water cannon.

Although Riolu can only master one move: Rain Dance.

However, Wu Ge inherits the moves from his previous life with each rebirth, and the water cannon is inherited from the Emperor Naboo of his previous life.

Therefore, he also has water-based moves that he can use to extinguish fires.

The problem is that the water cannon consumes too much energy and has too much power.

He was worried that using water cannons might cause trouble for everyone.

I'm also worried that if we deplete the water system's energy now, we won't have enough to handle any unexpected situations later.

Just as Wu Ge hesitated.

Suddenly, the sound of cars driving by came from behind.

Wu Ge turned his head and looked.

Seven or eight police cars sped over and then pulled up nearby.

A police officer got out of the first vehicle and said to the fire station:
"Make way! There's been a battle in the wetlands. Officer Jenny and her team are under attack. We must get there as soon as possible!"

"No! The fire is raging, and the smoke will obstruct our view. Snowflake Plains is full of swamps and lakes. If you're not careful, your car could plunge into one of them!"

The fire chief quickly stopped them.

"hateful."

The officer in charge gritted his teeth, clenched his fist, and shouted into the walkie-talkie,
"Everyone get off the bus! Proceed on foot to provide assistance!"

next moment.

The police car doors were all opened, and more than 20 police officers immediately put on fireproof suits and breathing apparatus without saying a word, preparing to walk into the sea of ​​fire.

"I suggest letting Pokémon use Dig to dig underground."

The fire chief looked at them and made a suggestion.

"It's too late."

The officer in charge shook his head.

Officer Jenny and the others are in the middle of a battle, and we don't know how the battle is going. We don't have time to wait for them to slowly dig over.

"Wait a moment!"

Sasha, who was standing next to Wu Ge, stepped forward.

"Sasha? You're here too."

The police captain seemed to know Sasha and wasn't surprised to see her there.

"Now is not the time to talk about this. We'll take you up the mountain."

Sasha remained calm and raised her hand to make a gesture.

Many of the young racers who had been watching the area ran off into the distance.

Two minutes later.

Rumble!
A series of noisy motorcycles drove in from afar.

"boarding."

Sasha took his motorcycle from the other person and patted the back seat.

"you."

"Now is not the time for idle talk. Your companions are still waiting for you on the mountain, aren't they?"

Sasha glanced at him.

"Put on your fire protective gear."

The officer's expression turned serious, and he stopped wasting words.

The other officers went to the trunks of the police cars and the fire trucks to take out spare fireproof suits and breathing apparatus, and personally put them on the young men.

Fifty or sixty locomotives gathered here.

More than twenty vehicles were driven by young people, with police officers sitting in the back holding fire extinguishers in case of emergency.

The other thirty or forty motorcycles were driven by young men, with water-type Pokémon sitting on the back.

"You guys lead the way with your Pokémon to put out the fire and clear the path, the rest of you follow behind with the police officers!"

Sasha was in charge of the overall situation.

It didn't take more than a few dozen seconds.

The young men, driving sixty motorcycles, charged headlong into the sea of ​​fire and thick smoke with the force of sharp spears and the might of ten thousand men.

Wu Ge stared blankly at the figures that were gradually disappearing in the flames.

The youth used the light of hope to pierce through the flames that stretched for miles.

They are not bastards.
