Pokémon: The Sims.

Chapter 422 On the Eve of the Competition, a Video Call
It was about the 15th day since Wu Ge arrived in Longzhixiang.

Wendy's father, Mabel, has returned.

The Twin Dragons Gym was not difficult for him, and he earned the badge on his first try.

That's why I've been away for so long.

It was because they were out there asking around, searching for a possible cure for Wendy.

This took him a lot of time, and yielded little result.

The moment I met Mabel.

Wu Ge was somewhat surprised.

Because the difference between how he saw her in the photos was just too great.

There is a family photo in Wendy's home.

Wendy in that picture is probably only about five years old; it must have been taken six years ago.

The person holding Wendy at that time was a young man who looked to be only in his early twenties, and he looked quite handsome and dashing.

But what appears before us now.

He was a middle-aged man with a receding hairline and a bit of weight gain, who wore glasses.

Mabel should only be thirty years old now.

But he looked like he was forty years old, with an unrepentant weariness between his brows and eyes.

It seems that in the past three years...

Marbel was very worried about Wendy's illness, and it had reached a point where it was clearly affecting her physical condition.

However, my heart was filled with sorrow.

He wouldn't show it on the surface.

For Cynthia and her group.

Mabel gave them a warm welcome and, along with the turbaned thugs, treated them to a good meal.

Like the bandana thugs, he was very grateful that Wu Ge and the others were willing to take Wendy out to play with them every day.

and.

Even after learning that Cynthia was his enemy in the Unova tournament, his attitude did not change at all. He even encouraged Cynthia, hoping to meet her in the finals.

On ordinary days.

Mabel would also deliberately avoid the places where Cynthia trained.

Just as the hooded thug had said.

Even though he had been away from the competition for a long time, he still retained a bit of arrogance and disdain for gathering information about other opponents before a battle began.

of course.

This might also be related to something Wendy often says – “A proud and confident dad is the coolest!”
time after that.

Wu Ge inquired about Wendy's condition from Mabel every day.

Occasionally, they would accompany Wendy to the hospital for check-ups.

What he currently knows is:
Wendy's illness resembles cancer, but it is not.

Cancer also exists in the Pokémon world, and thanks to the combination of technology and Pokémon power, the treatment methods are quite effective and diverse.

Even in the late stages, there is a very high probability of a cure.

But Wendy has this disease.

It is incurable.

Because this is not a disease that humans can get.

It is said to be a disease that originally only appeared in Pokémon, and there are currently no cases of it being hereditary.

But I don't know why Wendy inherited it.

Miss Joy speculated that one of Wendy's parents might be a Pokémon suffering from this disease.

Of course, there is another possibility.

Wendy may be the result of some wicked experiment that failed.

For example, experiments attempting to transplant Pokémon cells.

Such experiments have occurred before.

People are doing it in secret right now.

Since the United Alliance was established, it has rescued hundreds of these 'experiments'.

The reason for this experiment is not hard to guess; it's simply that someone wants to test whether humans can control supernatural powers and learn various moves like Pokémon.

Wendy might be a guinea pig in this kind of experiment.

three years ago.

When Wendy was diagnosed.

The United States even dispatched an investigation team to search the place where Marbel had found Wendy, but found nothing.

However, they don't have time to care about that right now.

The cure rate for this disease in Pokémon is quite low.

Those malignant cells will continuously devour the host's vitality, and as they proliferate, this devouring speed will become faster and faster.

Most Pokémon that suffer from this disease die from weakness.

Only Pokémon with high levels, strong physical abilities, and those discovered early have a chance of successfully undergoing a long surgery.

Humans simply cannot withstand it.

Not to mention that Wendy's condition was already quite late when it was discovered.

Even if it is discovered immediately.

Even a little girl's physical condition couldn't withstand the surgery.

In addition, the lack of exercise due to sitting in a wheelchair for long periods of time has caused Wendy's physical condition to deteriorate.

The success rate of surviving surgery is now 0%.

this day.

Cynthia didn't take Wendy out to play.

Because Wendy has a fever.

Hirona thought it was just a common fever and stayed by her bedside taking care of her.

But Mabel and the turban thug knew otherwise.

This is one of the signs of a weakened immune system.

Over the past three years, Wendy has been suffering from recurring colds and fevers, as well as various minor illnesses, and her condition has become increasingly serious.

I think it's because I've been in a good mood and been getting a lot of sunshine these past few days.

So, remarkably, no problems occurred for half a month.

But I still fell ill today.

Outside.

"What are you going to do?"

Wu Ge looked at Mabel.

"We took Wendy to chemotherapy, but she was initially adamant about not going because she didn't want to spend her last days lying in a hospital bed."

Mabel raised her head and looked blankly in the direction of Shuanglong City.
"But I've changed my mind these past few days. I'm afraid that if I don't start chemotherapy soon, I won't make it to the day I win the championship."

"In a few days, I will be going to the United Alliance to register my information."

"Ah."

Mabel forced a smile.
Good luck in the game.

After that sentence was left behind.

Marbel turned and went back into the house to take care of Wendy.

Once the game begins.

He might not have time to spend with Wendy every day. The next day.

When Marbel took Wendy away to Twin Dragons City.

Cynthia didn't notice anything amiss.

Because neither Marbel nor Wendy intended to tell her the specifics from the beginning.

Now.

Cynthia thought Wendy was just a girl next door with a leg disability.

She often says she hopes to travel with Wendy in the future.

fair enough.

This is what Mabel and the others hoped for.

Only in this way.

Cynthia would never intentionally throw a match.

A few more days passed.

Early in the morning.

"Riolu!"

"Well?"

Wu Ge groggily opened his eyes and looked at Cynthia lying beside him with a confused expression.

"Get up! We're going to the United Alliance today."

"Oh, then you can get up. I'm going to take another five minutes of nap."

You're pressing on my hair!

"You're still pressing down on my tail."

bedside.

N, holding Victini, and Keldeo beside him, watched the two of them with a helpless sigh.

Why does the same scene play out every morning?
Half an hour later.

Everyone was ready to go.

After saying goodbye to Granny Long, they headed towards Twin Dragon City.

They first need to arrive in Twin Dragons City, and then take a bus across the bridge to the United States Alliance, located on the eastern continent and the northern rocky mountains.

After joining the United Alliance.

You need to register the information of the Pokémon you want to participate in first.

Then we will travel to Higaki City, which is located at the foot of Iwayama Mountain and near the river.

Higaki City.

This is a city that does not exist in the game, but only in the animation.

It was established in recent years by the United Alliance specifically to host the Alliance Tournament, and the players' village is also located here.

A long and arduous journey.

Depart in the morning.

We arrived at the Pokémon Center in Higaki City in the evening.

Upon arriving at the Pokémon Center, the first thing Cynthia did was make a video call to her home in the Sinnoh region.

Dili dili~
The screen lit up.

The woman appearing on the other side of the video was not a still-attractive blonde, but Cynthia's grandmother, Mustard.

"grandmother!"

"Cynthia, have we arrived in Higaki City?"

On the other side, Jie Zilan gave her granddaughter in the video a doting smile.

"Hmm! How did Grandma get back home?"

Cynthia asked curiously.

Because of her busy work schedule, including looking after the gods and museums, and managing the gods and research institutes, Mustard almost never goes home.

of course.

Back when Cynthia's father was still alive, Mustard Orchid probably didn't want to bother her family.

"Your mother guessed that you would call today, so she specifically told me to come to the house and wait for you."

"Oh, where's Mom?"

"The League has discovered a wild Totem Pokémon. Your mother is going to go and make contact with it, and she's taking the Red-faced Dragon with her."

"Big Fool?!"

Cynthia looked surprised.

Why are you so surprised? Wasn't that child the one you brought back?

"Can something like that (referring to a Pokémon) handle other Totem Pokémon?"

Cynthia looked at Wu Ge with a doubtful expression.

Wu Ge's expression was also strange.

Red-faced dragon.
Their strength is definitely sufficient.

His height is probably not bad either.

Although the Overlord status is questionable and the physique enhancement factor is not high.

But don't forget that Reddra is a Pokémon from the Monster era, and it is naturally large in size.

The question is, does he have the courage to stand in front of other overlords?
Don't hide your head under the orchid's butt.

That would be too embarrassing for him as the leader.

"I'm telling you, you're underestimating Red-faced Dragon too much. Even my Lucario is no match for him. With him around, Xunlan's work is much easier."

It seems that the mustard seed orchid really likes the red-faced dragon.

This relieved Wu Ge.

It seems that the Red-faced Dragon not only did not cause any trouble for Xunlan and Jiezilan, but was also deeply loved by the mother and daughter.

"By the way, where's your Riolu?"

"Here you are, what's wrong?"

Cynthia reached out and picked Riolu up.

Although Wu Ge is not light, weighing around 130 pounds.

However, the physical constitution of humans in the Pokémon world is also extraordinary. 130 pounds is only a little heavy for Cynthia, not so heavy that she can't lift her up.

"grandmother."

Wu Ge raised his hand and waved in greeting.

"Wow~ what a well-developed Riolu, no wonder you've been talking about it every day for the past two years, Cynthia."

Mustard Orchid pressed her face against the screen, her eyes full of curiosity.

This was the first time she had met Wu Ge.

I had only heard about it before.

Looking at it now, it's truly astonishing; the size alone is quite exaggerated.

Wu Ge smiled casually as he watched the video.

He was preoccupied with Wendy's situation and wasn't in the mood to respond to the old man.

But the next moment.

His attention was entirely focused on the screen in front of him.

"Woof?! (Wolf Mom?!)"
