Pokémon: The Sims.

Chapter 463 Team Flare

The Enchanted Forest is a forest located just south of the snowfield.

In winter, this place is covered with a thick blanket of snow, but now it is the relatively warm late spring, so it is just cold, but there are not many snowflakes to be seen.

"According to a friend of mine, if you keep going deeper into the Enchanted Forest, you might find the legendary Pokémon Village."

Bratano frowned as he looked at the map in his hand.

Before coming, he asked some friends who lived nearby or had explored the area.

Therefore, they also learned some intelligence.

This makes it easier for them to explore.

Pokémon Village?

"Yes, as the name suggests, it is a village made up of Pokémon. It is said that the Pokémon living there are all reclusive, and it is very difficult for humans to enter."

"Uh"

After hearing this, Cynthia paused for a moment, then turned to look at Wu Ge beside her.

Wu Ge understood what she meant.

It's nothing more than lamenting that we've encountered another plateau like Nibel.

However, there are still some differences.

The Pokémon living in Pokémon Village do not hate humans; they simply prefer a peaceful life and do not want to be disturbed, which is why they deliberately hide the existence of the village.

If anyone gets lost or encounters trouble in this enchanted forest, they might even lend a helping hand and guide humans away from here.

"I now suspect that Xerneas might be hiding in this Pokémon Village. The reason why humans have difficulty finding this place may be because of its power."

Bratano shared his guess.

The idea is novel.

Based on the information currently available, this inference is not wrong, but rather quite reasonable.

But Wu Ge knew that wasn't the case.

The Pokémon Village was thus hidden.

It's because Zoroark, Gothic, Noctowl, and Cursed Doll are Pokémon that live there.

Simply put...
He's either a master of illusion or a master of hypnosis.

Humans cannot guarantee that what they see is real, nor can they guarantee that the path they take leads to the depths of the Enchanted Forest.

The three of them ventured deeper into the area.

Until the road ahead splits into three.

They then stopped in their tracks.

"Three paths: split up, or choose one and go together?"

Cynthia turned to look at Bratano.

"Let's forget about splitting up; it'll be very difficult to reunite if we separate in this Enchanted Forest."

Bratano shook his head and spoke.

However, he only got halfway through the conversation.

"Shhh."

Wu Ge suddenly raised his hand to interrupt.

He grabbed Cynthia and ran toward a dense thicket of bushes, while Blatano followed, looking completely bewildered.

“A group of suspicious guys are coming.”

Wu Ge pulled them to squat in a makeshift pit.

It's about 200 meters away from here.

There were about seven or eight people creeping this way, seemingly looking for something.

Wu Ge initially thought they were a collection team or farmers from a nearby village.

However, it seems that this is not the case now.

These people simply followed the path they had taken.

"suspicious?"

Bratano uttered a questioning sound.

This was the first time he had encountered something like this, and he found it hard to believe.

In his consciousness.

The Carlos region is peaceful and beautiful.

The worst villains are just one or two Pokémon hunters who occasionally appear, and their fate is usually to be caught by the League.

"They must have followed you here."

Wu Ge muttered something.

Recently, Blatano has become quite famous, with everyone saying that he has found Xernias's place.

It's perfectly normal to attract unwanted attention and be followed by those with ulterior motives.

Trainers who just want to watch the show.

A group of Pokémon hunters.

Even Team Flare, whose development stage is unknown.

Anyone could be tracking Bratano.

Therefore, Wu Ge had no way of knowing who the seven or eight people behind him were.

"Huh?! That's the legendary God of Life! Are these people so reckless?"

"."

Wu Ge and Cynthia were speechless.

This is simply an indiscriminate attack.

They attacked not only the group of stalkers, but also Wu Ge and Cynthia, and even Blatano himself.

However, this also demonstrates just how alluring Xerneas is, causing so many people to pursue his trail regardless of the consequences.

"Wait, if those people are following me, won't they realize something's wrong when they find we've disappeared?"

Bratano suddenly paused for a moment.

"If we've noticed it, then we've noticed it. The first thing we need to do now is to confirm the purpose of this group."

Wu Ge's response was not very concerned.

If these people are indeed following them, then they should strike decisively while they are still unaware.

If this group of people isn't, but just happens to be going the same way, then they'll follow them to see what they're looking for.

There might be an unexpected surprise.

pat.

Swoosh, swoosh. Sparse footsteps gradually approached, some on the ground, some on the grass.

Seven figures gradually came into Wu Ge's and his companions' view.

I squinted and looked.

Although those people were wearing brown-gray hooded capes, Wu Ge could still see the red suits under the fluttering capes.

I caught a glimpse of the red beneath the cloak.

Wu Ge could basically determine the background of these people.

The Flame Team, an evil organization in the Carlos region.

of course.

At this point, Team Flare was not an evil organization.

On the surface, they are a legitimate corporation that benefits all of Carlos, has helped countless impoverished people, and has provided the entire population with numerous convenient technologies and a promising future. Their technology has already permeated the daily lives of people in the Carlos region.

Furthermore, the leader of Team Flare is none other than Vladali, a young philanthropist who is renowned throughout the Carlos region.

Vladali's reputation is well-known in Carlos.

In his youth, he also traveled around the Kalos region with his Pokémon, extending a helping hand to those suffering in various places.

In the game, you can see respect for Vladali and regret for what Vladali did after the great war from the words of many random NPCs.

They really need to wipe out Team Flare.

The first to be unhappy were the uninformed citizens of Carlos.

but.

Frustrated by the constant bickering, robbing, and the people who took aid for granted and demanded more, Vladari and Team Flare turned "darkened."

They developed extreme and cynical ideas.

then.

To enable people to live beautifully in a world free from conflict and plunder.

Vladali decides to reduce the number of lives, destroy the current reality, and create a utopia.

In terms of ideology, Vladali perfectly inherited the madness of the Eternal Royal Family, truly sharing the same roots as his ancestor's brother, Az.

His actions are similar to those of Madara Uchiha in the Naruto world, such as deciding to create an Infinite Tsukuyomi world in order to permanently end the war.

However, it is probably precisely because of this extreme that...

Only then could Vladali become the leader of Team Flare and accomplish something extraordinary.

"That's Team Flare?"

Bratano had sharp eyes and also noticed the red uniform under the cloak.

What is Team Flare?

"I asked, Cynthia."

"The largest charity in the Carlos region has saved many poor people, but in recent years its style of doing things seems to have started to change, though I'm not sure of the specifics."

"Weren't they a group of good people?"

Cynthia tilted her head in confusion.

Actually, her idea is not wrong.

Team Flare was truly a group of pure good people in the past, and even ten years later, at least on the surface, Team Flare still maintains a fairly good reputation.

after all.

Team Flare operates covertly, rarely letting others discover their misdeeds.

“Ordinary people wouldn’t dress like that. Cynthia, do you remember who was the last group of people dressed like that?”

"Plasma Team".

"Hmm, it seems that this group of people didn't come here to follow us; they're also looking for something."

Wu Ge crouched in the grass, observing quietly.

The eight members of Team Flare.

The leader was holding an unidentified instrument that seemed to mark the location of something.

This group of people followed the navigation provided by the instrument, rather than specifically tracking Bratano.

They probably had no idea that Bratano was there.

"How to do it?"

Cynthia's eyes flickered slightly as she glanced at Wu Ge.

"I don't know. Should we quietly follow them and see? Or should we continue looking for Xerneas and ignore them?"

Bratano shook his head in confusion.

Having never experienced anything like this before, he felt like a complete greenhorn in front of Cynthia and Wu Ge.

"This group doesn't seem like they're up to anything legitimate. Doctor, do you have Officer Jenny's contact information in Snowfall City? Could you personally ask her to bring a few people over to investigate?"

Wu Ge turned to look at Bratano.

There is currently no conclusive evidence to prove that the other party is doing something wrong.

Calling the police simply because their appearance and behavior are suspicious could lead to accusations of occupying police resources or disrupting public order.

However, if Blatano requests a brief investigation from the police in his personal capacity, there shouldn't be any problems.

In short.

It's impossible to leave it unattended.

Wu Ge didn't know exactly when the Flame Team changed their aspirations in the original story, so he couldn't be sure when they started doing bad things.

although.

In the anime, Team Flare's goal is to use Zygarde's power to create a wonderful new world.

In the game, Team Flare uses the power of the ultimate weapon to reduce life and create a utopia.

The two versions of Team Flare achieve the same goal using different methods, and Wu Ge currently has no way of determining which version of the Carlos region in this world is correct.

but.

To lure out Zygarde, either the X or Y god must be awakened to disrupt the balance of the Carlos region's ecosystem.

To activate the ultimate weapon, the power of the X and Y gods is required.

No matter which version it is, they can't avoid taking action against the X and Y gods.

Like when Ash and his friends first started the story in the anime.

Team Flare has already attacked the split Zygarde countless times.

That means they had already taken action against Xerneas or Yveltal.

maybe.

They just happened to stumble upon Team Flare making a move against the sleeping Xerneas.
