Pokémon: The Sims.

Chapter 559 A Broken Heart
BGM: Sorrow and Grief - 634
--------

The battle of the Super Demon God took place that afternoon.

Wu Ge returned in the evening.

He did a lot of things before he left.

Firstly, we need to arrange the follow-up plan and have N and Balzac keep an eye on what's happening with Hoopa.

Secondly, I want to buy some specialty donuts from Desert City to bring back as an apology to Princess Golden Hair.

Finally, I went to the Pokémon Center for treatment.

To avoid going back covered in injuries and upsetting Cynthia.

Did a lot of things.

Therefore, Wu Ge's side also lost a lot of time.

I didn't have time to rush back until evening.

Pillar of the Gun.

A halo appeared out of nowhere before my eyes.

Wu Ge, holding the exquisite gift box, grabbed N like a little chick:
"Hupa, bring N back in ten minutes. I need to borrow him for a bit."

Soothing a golden retriever puppy is a big job.

He doesn't know what to do if he doesn't invite N.

"Whoosh~"

Little Huba's adorable voice rang out, and Wu Ge waved goodbye to the crowd on the other side of the halo.

The halo is off.

Wu Ge let out a heavy sigh.

Before he came back.

She pulled Xiaohupa aside to a corner.

He wanted to see if He could help him pull the big cat over.

after all
Hoopa's aura is said to be able to "bring everything in the world to him".

Even the souls of the spirit world, Giratina of the Reverse World, or the Time Gods living in the Time Rift
Without exception.

Like the hand of Arceus, it can grasp everything hidden and bring it to your attention.

But in the end it failed.

Hoopa activated his aura, but failed to retrieve anything from the other side.

The little guy was very anxious.

She seemed distressed that she couldn't help Wu Ge, and also angry about her own failure.

But Wu Ge suddenly calmed down.

There was nothing on the other side of Hoopa's halo.

This means that the big cat doesn't exist in this world at all.

It seems.

Looking for a big cat.

We still have to place our hopes on the little star Jirachi.

"Wu Ge?"

N's voice came from beside him, bringing him back to his senses.

It was really cold at the top of Tianguan Mountain.

He was shivering from the cold; it was not a place to stay for long.

"Hmm? Right, let's go find Cynthia. It's been most of the day, she should have gone home by now."

Wu Ge raised his head and forced a smile.

"Uh"

N paused for a moment, glanced at Wu Ge, and then pointed behind him.

"?"

Wu Ge turned around in confusion.

A somewhat desolate figure sat on the edge of the cliff of the Pillar of Spears.

Her long, golden hair fluttered freely in the evening breeze, like a dandelion seed detached from its roots, soaring on the wind, its destination unknown.

His back was straight, yet it exuded a sense of loneliness and abandonment.

"Gulp..."

N swallowed hard, his pupils darting around.

Not good!

His superpowers told him that the current situation was extremely bad.

This is not a minor misunderstanding that can be easily dismissed.

Something really serious is going to happen.

"."

Wu Ge's expression gradually turned serious.

His prepared explanations and plans were completely shattered when he sensed Cynthia's waveguide.

There is anger.

I was disappointed.

But more than anything, it was sadness.

The sadness of going to a rendezvous full of joy only to be abandoned filled Cynthia's heart.

"I will explain it to my sister."

N said solemnly.

It was he who insisted on taking Wu Ge to that dangerous place.

Even if Cynthia is angry.

It's all his fault.

"Go down now, and wait for Huba to come and take you back."

Wu Ge said quietly.

"Eh?"

N was stunned.

"The reason Cynthia is sad has nothing to do with you."

After Wu Ge left those words behind.

He walked alone toward the edge of the cliff.

Cynthia seemed to have been sitting there alone for a long time, so long that the night dew seemed to be soaking through her clothes.

Sitting in such a cold place for several hours would probably be unbearable even for a physically strong person.

Wu Ge approached.

He wanted to reach out and hug Cynthia to warm her body.

But the waveguide in Cynthia's heart was incredibly cold.

It was so cold that he dared not act rashly at that moment.

then.

Wu Ge simply sat down quietly beside her.

Cynthia turned her head and glanced at Wu Ge, then murmured softly:
"It's good to come back safely."

Wu Ge felt as if his heart had been gently pierced by those words.

He bowed his head and handed the exquisite gift box to Cynthia:
"I brought you donuts from Desert City."

The pretty ribbon on the box swayed slightly in the wind.

If it was before.

Cynthia will surely be overjoyed to accept it.

Even if what Wu Ge gave was just a small red flower that could be seen everywhere by the roadside.

But now.

She did not reach out to take it.

Cynthia was staring blankly at Wu Ge for a long time before slowly saying:
"You really haven't changed at all." "...?"

Wu Ge couldn't understand what Cynthia meant.

He hadn't felt this way in a long time—unable to understand what Cynthia was trying to convey.

Even if he could sense Cynthia's feelings at this moment, it wouldn't matter.

This unfamiliar sense of distance made Wu Ge's heart tighten.

"You were just like this when you were still Riolu, giving me gifts with an innocent and cute look on your face, and then arrogantly abandoning me."

Cynthia pursed her lips, a smile that wasn't very attractive on her face.

That smile was pale and weak, devoid of any warmth.

She doesn't know either.

She was laughing at Wu Ge.

He was still laughing at himself.

Wu Ge knew that Cynthia was referring to the early days of their trip.

Cynthia was too strong-willed and stubbornly wanted to stand by him and face all dangers, regardless of the consequences or costs.

Wu Ge also has his own ideas, is used to taking charge of the storm, and wants to put the most important people in the safest place to protect them.

these years.

Because of her love for Wu Ge, Cynthia suppressed her assertive side and placed all her opinions after Wu Ge's decision.

She became docile and dependent.

and this.

However, this caused Wu Ge to gradually overlook Cynthia's thoughts and revert to the style he used when he was with Big Cat and Lorelei.

Wu Ge was indeed in the wrong in this matter.

He ignored her feelings and made the decision on his own.

But he doesn't think he made a mistake today.

in case.

While Wu Ge was fighting against the two gods of time and space.

Giratina ambushed Cynthia, not Wu Ge?

Even Wu Ge couldn't escape the attack.

How can Cynthia dodge?
Can Garchomp and the others defend against it?
Even he was almost bitten in half by Giratina, so what about Cynthia and the others?
Just imagining that scene was enough to make Wu Ge's hands clench involuntarily.

He was glad he hadn't brought her with him at the time.

This feeling of relief.

It even outweighed the guilt.

and so.

Wu Ge doesn't think there's anything wrong with the decision he made.

"You don't think you've done anything wrong at all, do you?"

Cynthia looked into Wu Ge's eyes.

Although his face remained expressionless.

But how could Cynthia not guess Lucario's thoughts?
Over the past eighteen years.

The two were inseparable, even eating and sleeping together, and the total time they spent apart was less than 100 days.

How could she not understand him?

"The situation there is quite dangerous."

Wu Ge tried to explain.

Haven't we faced enough dangers together?

Cynthia's voice rose a little, and the suppressed emotions in her gray-gold pupils finally revealed themselves.

"This time is different."

"They're both deadly dangers, what's the difference?"

The two of you talk to each other.

The air at the edge of the cliff seemed to freeze, only to be torn apart by the two men's heated words.

What started as a lighthearted and humorous exchange gradually spiraled out of control, with both of them raising their voices and becoming increasingly anxious and agitated.

Their voices echoed above the empty pillar of spears.

They were both eager to prove to each other—to prove that they were acting out of love and protection.

"You've always been like this since you were little. Can't you see the situation clearly?"

"No matter what the situation, we can face it together, but you don't even give me a choice! You always unilaterally decide for me where to stand and what to bear."

"For an ordinary person to get involved in that battle would be almost certain to die, even if you went."

"Even if I go, I'll only hold you back, right?"

Cynthia pursed her lips, cutting him off.

Her voice was no longer loud, but rather low.

In the sound.

There was a tremor, a feeling of being utterly pierced.

Wu Ge paused for a moment, then slowly looked up.

It was only then that he noticed.

Cynthia's eyes were red and brimming with tears of grievance, as if she had used all her strength to hold back the tears that were about to burst forth.

The bow on her head was blown away by the increasingly restless wind, and her long golden hair was as disheveled as a small boat on a rolling river.

Wu Ge instinctively reached out and grabbed.

The bow was not caught.

His fingertips brushed the edge of the ribbon, but he only caught a wisp of cold air.

The pretty bow was blown by the night wind into the dark depths of Tianguan Mountain, tumbling and swirling in the turbulent air currents before finally being swallowed up by the night and disappearing into the boundless darkness.

When Wu Ge came to his senses.

But then he saw Cynthia brush past him.

His steps were unsteady, and he seemed lost and dejected.

Wu Ge reached out and grabbed her hand, quickly saying:
“That’s not what I meant. What I meant was that even if you went, you would hardly escape the disaster.”

“When we were traveling in the Unova region, we argued about this issue many times, and you always said the same thing.”

Cynthia raised her other hand, seemingly trying to pull Wu Ge's hand away.

But after hesitating for a long time, he finally put his hand down.

"."

Wu Ge had nothing to say.

"You promised me, you promised me back then that no matter what dangers we encounter in the future, you would keep me by your side."

Cynthia's tears finally slid down her face, the glistening teardrops appearing blindingly bright in Wu Ge's eyes under the moonlight.
What's the difference between a promise that can't be kept and a lie?

After leaving this sentence.

Cynthia shook off Wu Ge's hand and turned to head down the mountain alone.

She tempered her sharpness and smoothed out her rough edges.

She didn't want to comfortably live under his wing.

Rather, she wanted him to feel more at ease having her by his side.

Today, Cynthia sat on the Pillar of Spears for a very, very long time.

As I watched the sun gradually set, my mind was filled with the thought, "What if he doesn't come back?" I could hardly breathe.

What if he really can't come back?
His protection
It was so heavy it suffocated her.

This left her completely unaware of the safety of her beloved at that moment.

Wu Ge stood frozen in place, watching Cynthia's disappearing figure.

He lowered his head in grievance, staring blankly at the ground, his furry ears and tail drooping down.

that moment.

It looks like something broke.
