Pokémon: The Sims.

Chapter 423 I Must Not Lose

"Wang Woo!"

On the other side of the screen, a large wolfhound leaned in and licked the screen.

It's clear that the wolf mom was very happy to see her puppy again, sticking out her tongue like a puppy on the other side.

Take a closer look.

Wu Ge then realized.

On the other end of the phone were not only Wolf Mom, but also the four tyrants of Wolf Mountain, including the Floating Weasel.

"Xunlan asked Professor Yamanashi to make a special trip to Wolf Mountain to tell them about Riolu's upcoming match. They wanted to watch the match together, so I went to pick them up."

Mustard seed orchid showed a faint smile.

She reached out and stroked the wolf mother's head; the fluffy texture felt wonderfully comfortable.

"Does Wolf Mom want to watch my match?"

"Woof."

The wolf mother nodded gently.

Looking at the still-childish face of the puppy, the wolf mother had some doubts.

Logically speaking, given Dogbao's strength, it should have evolved long ago.

Why hasn't my dog ​​evolved yet?
Forget it.

The dog looks very happy.

Whether or not it evolves is irrelevant.

"The competition doesn't start for another month, so we can't see it now. Will Wolf Mom be staying in God and Town all these days?"

"Woof."

The wolf mother shook her head.

She only came because she heard that she could video call with Goubao.

The Wolf Mountain area is waiting for her to return and take over its management.

When the game begins.

She would watch the game at the Yamanashi Research Institute, which is very close to Langshan.

Be careful on your way back.

Wu Ge, Wolf Mom, and the Four Tyrants of Wolf Mountain chatted for a long time.

Neither Cynthia nor Mustard Flower disturbed them.

I don’t know how much time has passed.

The phone hangs up.

Wu Ge felt extremely happy and relaxed.

Next month.

Cynthia stayed in Higaki City for special training and got to know many trainers from other regions.

But what puzzled her was...

She did not see Mabel in Higaki City.

However, Cynthia didn't pay much attention to it for long.

The competition is just around the corner.

We need to seize the time for intensive training.

Simultaneously.

Wu Ge also began to observe whether there were any particularly noteworthy celebrity trainers.

in a blink.

A month-long preparation period has passed.

The preliminary rounds have officially begun.

The competition format is no different from the previous one, using a regional points system.

Wu Ge's current level has reached Lv.55.

The other friends are also at a pretty high level.

The highest level is undoubtedly Garchomp Lv.54.

In Dragon Village, she received special care from Granny Dragon, and her level increased rapidly, with her strength improving at a breakneck pace.

Milotic and Roserade are both at level 50 or higher.

Flower Rock Monster and Sea Gastrodon are slightly weaker.

However, they are Lv.48 and Lv.46 respectively.

According to Wu Ge's observation, there were no particularly strong players in this competition, not even those at the dojo level.

There are a few trainers who are close to gym level.

Mabel is considered the strongest, with an average level of Lv.62 within the team.

Whether we look at Cynthia's true strength or her stats based on her stats.

Entering the knockout stage is a breeze.

However, not many people pay attention to her.

In terms of ranking, Cynthia doesn't qualify for the top tier in this major tournament.

They belong to the elite of the second tier.

Moreover, Cynthia is too young and doesn't have any particularly outstanding achievements in the past.

Therefore, no one thought this little girl deserved special attention.

But it's Mabel.

Surprisingly, when Mabel returned to the competition after seven or eight years, there were still some of her old fans in the audience.

Although the number is extremely small, it is still quite surprising.

As the preliminary rounds progressed.

Cynthia gradually stood out from the other contestants.

There are two main reasons.

a little.

This little girl comes from the Sinnoh region.

They used rare Pokémon that are hard to find even in Sinnoh.

Another point.

This girl has a rather special Riolu.

Not only was it larger than they had imagined, but its move pool was also extraordinary.

For example, that water cannon move with exaggerated power that shouldn't have been mastered!

Put it aside for a lifetime.

Wu Ge was too lazy to waste time participating in the preliminary rounds; he preferred to give this opportunity to gain experience to his friends.

But this time it's different.

Since the wolf mother and her underlings are watching, it's time to make an appearance and show off.

The preliminary rounds lasted quite a long time.

It was a week later when the group stage began.

Cynthia and Wu Ge were interested in asking Mabel about Wendy's situation.

But the other party always came and went in a hurry.

They left immediately after the match.

They don't even live in the athletes' village on ordinary days.

There was simply no opportunity to speak with him.

Group stage.

Cynthia and Mabel were placed in the same group.

The two had also fought once.

Cynthia was completely defeated.

Wu Ge was not among the three Pokémon she sent out.

Of course, Mabel didn't send her strongest Charizard or the bandana-wearing thug either. But it must be said...

The level difference is still quite large.

The average grade difference is close to 10 levels.

Although Cynthia has good talent, she is still somewhat inferior to the veteran trainer Marbel, and cannot overcome the level difference through the trainer's command skills.

If Wu Ge doesn't play.

Cynthia was unable to snatch victory from these near-Gym Leader level trainers.

Despite in the group stage.

Cynthia lost to Mabel.

However, this one defeat is not enough to prevent her from advancing to the knockout stage.

Until the end of the group stage.

Cynthia advanced to the final round of the knockout stage as the second-place finisher in her group.

Fortunately.

This time, the two were divided into two halves of the court.

If nothing unexpected happens.

The two will meet in the final.

There are 64 players in the elimination round.

It only takes 4 days to complete the treatment.

Except for the semi-final on the third day, where his opponent was quite strong and Wu Ge had to fight two opponents to win, the other matches were basically stress-free.

At least Wu Ge didn't feel any pressure.

His teammates are under a lot of pressure.

The final elimination round.

When Mabel stood opposite them.

Wu Ge and Xiluona noticed that he had become very haggard.

Despite being dressed in a formal suit and having shaved his beard clean, the bloodshot eyes were clearly visible.

Before the battle officially begins.

"Mr. Mabel, how are you feeling?"

"I'm a little worried," Cynthia asked.

"Yeah, Cynthia, you played really well in your previous matches. Wendy told me she really admires you and hopes to become a trainer like you."

Mabel forced a smile.

"Hehe, Wendy will definitely be fine."

Cynthia couldn't help but purse her lips, then looked around at the audience.

Wendy isn't here, but she'll be watching the game on TV.

Mabel spoke, her expression gradually becoming serious.

"Cynthia, you are stronger than I thought, but this time, I cannot lose."

The words fell.

Mabel turned her head toward the camera, then grinned and gave it a thumbs up.

"Perhaps Mr. Mabel has reasons why he absolutely cannot back down, but I also want to bring this journey to a perfect end."

Cynthia raised her hand and tightened the graying bow on her head.

The first regional tournament against Riolu.

If the outcome can be determined by winning the competition...
This journey with everyone will surely become an incredibly precious memory.

next moment.

Cynthia deftly raised her hand and grabbed a Poké Ball.

On the other side, Mabel reached out and tapped her waist.

Both teams' Pokémon appeared on the field.

Cynthia fielded one of her ace champions, Garchomp, in the very first match!
"Gawoo!!"

His imposing figure and wild roar set a good precedent.

The atmosphere in the audience was immediately hyped up.

Garchomp is a Pokémon.

Although it's not easy to see in everyday life, it's a very famous Pokémon in the world.

More than a decade ago.

A woman with blonde hair was a powerful trainer who used a Garchomp to suppress countless regions.

And the other side.

The Pokémon sent by Marbel was Altaria from the Hoenn region.

in the audience.

N's expression changed slightly.

"what happened?"

Seeing his expression, Keldeo hurriedly asked.

"I learned from Wendy before that Flying-type is super effective against Ground-type, and Dragon-type is mutually effective against each other. In this battle, Wendy is at a disadvantage in terms of both level and type."

N tightened his grip on Bictini's hand.

He hasn't been idle these days.

I often learn about Pokémon from the adults around me.

"Eh?!"

Upon hearing this, Keludio immediately widened his eyes and looked at the field.

The battle begins.

After exchanging a few blows, the Azure Bird of the Night used the Song of the End.

Cynthia wasn't flustered, or rather, it suited her just the way she wanted it.

Taking this opportunity, Garchomp was recalled to remove the ultimate effect of its Last Song, and Milotic, which has many Ice-type moves, was then switched in.

Milotic has certainly lived up to expectations.

Despite a nearly 10-level gap, they managed to replace the Altaria, which has a four-fold weakness to ice.

One for one.

If the trainers are of similar level, then it's hard to say who gains or loses.

But Cynthia and Mabel are not in the same league.

As for Cynthia...

Milos has done a great job, significantly reducing the pressure on Wu Ge afterwards.

second round.

Mabel dispatched a Tortollan from the Alola region.

A Fire/Dragon type Pokémon.

Now Wu Ge understands why so many people enjoy watching Mabel's battles.

Trainers who have traveled to many regions are truly different.

The team is full of Pokémon from different regions, making it a truly enjoyable sight.

Cynthia also unhesitatingly deployed Garchomp.

Both Ground and Dragon type moves can deal significant damage to Turtlemon.

Originally, Wu Ge and Cynthia both thought...

Garchomp will successfully defeat Torterra.

However, an unexpected event occurred.

While Garchomp used Dragon Claw, Turtonator secretly used a powerful move called Trap Shell with a power of 150.

This move, a signature move of Turtonator, was activated by Garchomp's physical attack, creating an unparalleled explosion.

Garchomp's Special Defense hadn't been trained much, and coupled with the huge level difference, it was actually defeated by this move.
