Pokémon: The Sims.

Chapter 408 The Truman Show

They broke free from the inferno.

Ahead was an oval-shaped open space unaffected by the flames.

Look down.

There is a fireproof trench and a fireproof line on the ground.

Two groups of people were fighting in the open space.

One side consisted of Officer Jenny and others.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out that even Hatchling, the leader of the Snowflake Gym, was here.

There are only seven or eight members belonging to the United Alliance.

Two or three of them were already lying on the ground.

It is unclear whether he collapsed due to inhaling too much poison gas or being injured in an attack.

Those who remained standing were also drenched in sweat, their energy rapidly depleted, yet they had to suppress their breathing; clearly, none of them were in good condition.

The other side is very strange.

It turned out to be a group of people dressed in casual clothes, including men, women, and children, about a dozen of them, who looked just like ordinary citizens.

Neither Wu Ge nor Cynthia could make a judgment.

Are these people from the Plasma Team?

Because they weren't wearing that uniform.

But one thing is for sure.

This fire must have been caused by these people, and it must have been a premeditated act.

The reason was that these dozen or so people were all wearing gas masks, and more than half of the twenty or so Pokémon standing in front of them were Fire-type.

The remaining races are mostly those that can master fire-based moves.

"Miss Officer! Master Hatchiku!"

Cynthia's appearance attracted everyone's attention.

As her voice rang out.

Motorcycles also emerged from the flames behind them.

"Surround them, don't let them escape."

Sasha's voice rang out.

More than sixty locomotives formed two concentric circles, surrounding the group.

Each racer released at least one Pokémon, along with more than twenty supporting police officers.

Suddenly, the number of Pokémon on Officer Jenny's side exceeded one hundred.

The officer in charge immediately rushed forward and put the spare respirators on Officer Jenny and her group, then turned and gave the order:
"Deal with them."

The others then gave commands, ordering their Pokémon to attack.

The dozen or so people were wearing masks, so their expressions were not visible.

But judging from their actions...

He was clearly quite flustered.

Some people tried to run away, but with hundreds of Pokémon watching them, they were completely trapped with nowhere to go.

The outcome is already decided.

"Keldio didn't show up? Could it be that this group isn't Team Plasma? And this isn't the fire from the original story?"

Wu Ge did not make a move, but frowned and pondered silently.

At this moment.

His attention shifted to a lake not far away.

The area around the lake has been engulfed by flames, and the lake cannot be seen through the fire with the naked eye.

Therefore, neither Officer Jenny and her group, who had been there long before, nor Cynthia and her group, who arrived later, noticed the lake.

However, Wu Ge noticed it using his perception through the power of waveguide.

There are humans there.

Moreover, judging from the size of the waveguide, it looks like a small child.

It's probably a child who's only four or five years old!

Wu Ge turned his head and glanced at the scene. Cynthia was directing Garchomp to charge at the dozen or so people.

“Victini, I’m going to check over there. If Cynthia has finished her battle before I get back, then tell her where I went.”

"Tigne".

Bictini nodded.

But He forgot that he was still invisible, and Wu Ge couldn't see him.

After getting the answer.

Wu Ge lightly touched the ground with his foot and quickly ran in that direction.

Just before stepping into the sea of fire.

Instead of using the power of the Sea King's Crown to envelop his entire body in water and fly over, Wu Ge chose to reach out and open a circular waveguide barrier to envelop himself.

The water system has limited energy.

The power of the Sea Crown can carry people away.

This is a very precious ability in this sea of fire.

Therefore, save money wherever possible.

There's no need for that right now.

On the contrary, Wu Ge has a lot of waveguides in his body, and coupled with his small size, the barrier he opens doesn't need to be very large. Maintaining it for a few minutes is harmless, which is equivalent to releasing a few wave missiles.

call out!
Using the waveguide barrier to isolate the flames, Wu Ge crashed headfirst into the wall of fire.

He leaped out of the sea of fire a dozen seconds later.

It looked like it was about to fall into the lake.

Suddenly, a giant sword-wielding demon emerged from the water and caught Wu Ge.

"Thank you."

Wu Ge stepped onto the back of the Greatsword Demon and reached out to stroke its neck.

You will receive help from an unfamiliar Water-type Pokémon.

He didn't find it strange.

After all, the power of the Sea Crown will give him an extremely strong affinity with Water-type Pokémon.

Wild water-type Pokémon, especially those that live in the ocean, will instinctively want to help Wu Ge.

However, Wu Ge did not expect this.

Surprisingly, there is a Pokémon like Sabergling in the Snowflake Wetlands.

Although the Greatsword Demon was somewhat poorly designed, it's just a game after all.

In the game.

The Greatsword Demon can't draw his sword and chase after enemies; he can only play turn-based games like a fool.

But in reality...

That Greatsword Demon is a master of swordsmanship; he can fight using a greatsword hidden in his foreleg armor.

When the mood strikes, practice your swordplay, and becoming a great swordsman in the Pokémon world wouldn't be a problem.

"Aww."

Greatsword Demon chuckled in response, then gestured for Wu Ge to look ahead. Only then did Wu Ge notice.

In the middle of this sizable lake, there is a shallow beach.

Many Pokémon that couldn't go into the water gathered on the shallows.

The child that Wu Ge's waveguide sensed was also among them.

"N?!"

Upon seeing the child, Wu Ge's eyes widened in surprise.

That's right.

It appeared before his eyes.

It is N, the young master of Team Plasma, a child born of a human and a Pokémon.

It was just N during childhood.

The green-haired boy looked like a Pokémon, lying on all fours with a somewhat 'wild' look in his eyes.

Wu Ge's memories that he had previously forgotten were awakened.

Based on this memory.

He probably understands what happened in the fire!
'The Truman Show'.

Wu Ge muttered to himself.

Many people know that N is the child of a human and a Pokémon.

But no one knows how N was born.

He could be the 'love child' of humans and Pokémon, or he could be an 'experimental product' created by Ghettoss forcibly combining humans and Pokémon.

Regardless of the situation.

There is no doubt that N lived in a world deliberately created by Quidditch during his childhood.

N was deliberately separated from humans from childhood.

They grew up alongside Pokémon that were betrayed, abused, and harmed by humans.

Therefore, N grew up to despise and distance himself from humans, proposed the theory that humans and Pokémon should coexist on an equal footing, and always believed that Pokémon that were confined by Poké Balls were neither free nor happy.

N even once resolved to change the world, liberate his Pokémon friends, and create a world that belongs only to Pokémon.

And this idea of 'liberating Pokémon'.

This is precisely the brainwashing theory that the Plasma Team uses among the public!

In order to create a monster that could gain the approval of the Black and White Dragons and support the ideology of Team Plasma, Ghetsis went to any lengths, controlling N's life from his childhood.

Such as this moment.

Wu Ge has realized that the people who set the fire were from Team Plasma!
They just weren't wearing team uniforms.

All those people had to do was put on a grand show—setting fires as humans, making N watch helplessly as those humans burned down his home and hurt his companions, thus making him hate humans.

If Wu Ge hadn't accidentally sensed N's existence...

Then N will grow up just like before.

Become a puppet in the hands of Ghetsis, controlling the collars of Reshiram or Zekrom.

It wasn't until he met the 'protagonist' and discovered the true nature of Team Plasma that he finally woke up and began to reconsider his own beliefs.

"N? Is that my name?"

A green-haired boy peeked his head out from beside the arm of a dharma baboon.

It seems this child doesn't even know his own name.

But it's normal.

N was probably abandoned by Ghettoss in Snowflake Wetlands when he was still very young, and lived with wild Pokémon.

Only in this way can N believe that he and Pokémon are one family.

"Ah."

Wu Ge nodded, but his attention wasn't on N.

Since I've run into this situation myself...

He certainly wouldn't let Quixote succeed again.

Whether it's to save this poor doll and those innocent Pokémon, or to settle some old scores with Team Plasma.

Wu Ge even planned to take N with him.

As for where to take it.
This is the question Wu Ge is currently pondering.

Moreover, he also had to figure out how to get N to leave him willingly.

Bah.

do not know when.

N crawled up to Wu Ge, awkwardly stood up, rested her chin on Wu Ge's chest, and looked up at him:
How do you know my name? Do you know my mom and dad?

N's tone was full of anticipation.

He can understand Wu Ge's words.

This is not surprising.

Even if N itself doesn't have Pokémon blood, it's perfectly normal for a human who grew up with Pokémon to understand Pokémon language.

There is more than just one case, N, in the original work.

"Well"

Wu Ge hesitated for a moment.

This seems like a good opportunity.

As long as you say you know them, you can definitely take N away.

but
"do not know."

Wu Ge shook his head. He didn't want to lie to N, because that would make him no different from what Quixote had done.

".oh."
