Pokémon: The Sims.

Chapter 81 I Want to Live Under the Same Sunshine as You
Dragonite Valley.

This valley plain is not entirely a low grassland; there are also caves of various sizes in the hills along the edges.

That was the place where Dragonite and his crew would take shelter during rain and snow, but it was mostly useless. They would sleep directly on the soft plains on ordinary days.

But for supersonic bats, which cannot tolerate direct sunlight, these holes are always very useful.

After all, Zubats are a species that prefers to live in nests and caves.

When Wu Ge was learning skills from the Dragonite leader, Zubat would obediently stay in these caves.

A week passed in a flash.

Wu Ge originally thought that his level progress might stagnate for a while after arriving at Dragonite Valley.

After all, he didn't think he could find any suitable opponents in this central area.

However, when he was practicing his skills later, he was suddenly surprised to find that he could spar with other Hakuryu.

It was a sunny day.

Wu Ge is learning the skill "Flame Vortex" from the Dragonite leader.

He has been learning this skill for a week.

This wasn't something the Dragonite leader taught him willingly; it was something Wu Ge wanted to learn.

When I first arrived at Dragonite Valley.

At the request of the Dragonite leader, he conducted a battle test against another Dragonair.

The Dragonite leader wanted to see Wu Ge's current skill level before providing targeted instruction.

In that battle, Wu Ge was extremely uncomfortable being held back by the flame vortex of another Hakuryu.

This move doesn't do much damage, but its ability to restrict movement is really strong.

They will either suffer damage or have their actions hindered.

So after the battle, Wu Ge took the initiative to mention that he wanted to learn this skill.

This requirement has more specific considerations.

Wu Ge has never forgotten that his future enemy is not a single Pokémon, but a group of Pokémon and humans.

The skill 【Flame Vortex】 may not be as powerful as 【Flame Jet】, but its effectiveness on the battlefield is definitely far superior.

It was precisely at this moment.

"Oh woo!"

Crimson energy flickered from the mouth of the Dragonite leader.

The next moment, a surging vortex of flames spewed towards Wu Ge.

The Dragonite leader certainly wasn't trying to kill Wu Ge instantly. Instead of letting the attack hit him directly, he used a huge vortex to surround Wu Ge.

There are many reasons behind this move.

It allows Wu Ge to personally experience the use and operation of the flame vortex, and also allows him to figure out how to get rid of it when he is trapped by the flame vortex.

The flame vortex of the Dragonite leader was completely different from the flame vortex released by the Dragonair that Wu Ge had seen before.

At least in Wu Ge's view, the difference in proficiency between the two has completely divided the Flame Vortex skill.

The fire vortex released by that Hakuryu is the fire vortex that most people are familiar with.

The Dragonite Leader skill is a completely new skill.

Perhaps it could be called a 'cage of flames'.

Because at this moment, Wu Ge's figure could not be seen on the plain at all; there was only an oval-shaped, constantly rotating cage of flames.

Wu Ge was among them.

In a nearby cave.

"Sizzle, sizzle!"

The supersonic bat, feeling the intense heat emanating from outside, was extremely anxious, flapping its wings and circling around in the dark, damp cave.

He tried to take a step out of the cave.

But the scorching sunlight hit the supersonic bat's wings, immediately causing it a burning sensation, which startled the supersonic bat into quickly retreating.

He has always been a rather timid child.

Within a fiery cage on the plains.

"It's completely airtight!"

Looking at the fire wall around him, which was completely seamless, Wu Ge truly felt the power of the Dragonite leader.

Ordinary flame vortexes appear to be composed of individual flames with gaps in between.

Even a slightly more powerful and skilled fire vortex, while capable of forming a wall of fire, wouldn't completely seal off the area above.

But the Dragonite leader's vortex of fire really didn't leave even a window open.

Moreover, he didn't dare to directly crash into it with his own body.

The Flame Vortex skill doesn't deal much damage, but it also depends on who casts it.

The Dragonite leader is at least 20 levels higher than him, so he can't even imagine how powerful that fire vortex is. Wu Ge might just be grazed and he would be knocked unconscious.

'I'll have to try water-based skills.'

Wu Ge felt the temperature around him rising, and sweat began to seep from his skin.

This cannot continue.

【pour cold water on】

Wu Ge first whipped his tail, flinging countless streams of cold water toward the surrounding flames.

Unfortunately, the water evaporated into steam instantly when it came into contact with the flames.

At most, Wu Ge's move only caused the temperature inside the flame vortex to drop for a very short time.

With no results, he had to try other things.

[Water Ripples]

Wu Ge spat out a large water wave ball in the central area towards a certain spot.

He then followed closely behind the water wave ball, preparing to rush out.

If the strength is sufficient.

The water's ripples can create a hole in the fire wall of a vortex of flames, allowing him to escape unharmed.

Insufficient strength.

The ripples in the water can also temporarily slow down the temperature and rotation speed of this wall of fire, reducing its power and giving it a chance to break through.

If even the ripples of water couldn't help Wu Ge break free, then he didn't know what else to do.

"I'll take this gamble, Water Pulse, I believe in you!"

Wu Ge gritted his teeth and followed closely behind his own water ripples.

next moment.

Snapped.

The Water Pulse burst like a balloon hitting a needle, causing little effect on the wall of fire. 'Water Pulse, I'll never trust you again!'

This was Wu Ge's last thought before he fainted.

The Dragonite leader on the plains was initially puzzled when a black snake darted out, but he quickly realized that it was Wu Ge.

He wasn't too alarmed and had Haklong, who had been waiting nearby, feed Wu Ge a few fruits.

It's a fruit that looks like a green strawberry.

This fruit is called "berry," and it is a tree fruit specifically used to treat burns and scalds.

There are also some in Wu Ge's cave, but in relatively small numbers, because it's rare to see other Pokémon using Fire-type moves in the forest.

"Sizzle!!"

Just as the Dragonite leader was pondering how to proceed with the next instruction, a shrill cry came from afar.

He turned his head and his eyes widened instantly.

He saw supersonic bats emerge from the cave.

"Oh?!"

The Dragonite leader was startled when it realized that the Dragonite was a friend brought by Wu Ge.

Others might not know, but how could he, having lived this long, not know?

Do supersonic bats only appear at night because they don't want to come out of the shadows during the day?
It's because their physical structure can't support them doing this.

But the next moment, all eyes were drawn to the supersonic bat.

a minute ago.

When the supersonic bat, which was constantly sensing Wu Ge, noticed that Wu Ge's aura was getting weaker and weaker and showed no signs of stopping, it could no longer care about anything else and rushed out.

He has no eyes and can't see anything.

He didn't know what kind of environment he was in, nor what kind of thing was causing his body to hurt so much.

"Sizzle."

The groan in its throat could not drown out the sonic bat's call to Wu Ge.

Even the pain in his wings, almost imperceptible, couldn't deter his determination to fly towards Wu Ge.

I am worried about Wu Ge's condition.

I want to see Wu Ge's feelings.

The desire to get closer to Wu Ge.
At this moment, they intertwine, converge, and merge.

I want to live under the same sun as you.

I don't want to stay in the dark, distant shadows watching you fade into the distance.

'I'd be willing to become a monster just to get to your side.'

The desire for change reached its peak at this moment.

The energy within the supersonic bat is rising uncontrollably.

This surge in energy is not permanent.

but.

It's enough to allow the Zubat to reach that already close boundary.

A light even more dazzling than sunlight suddenly burst forth from the Zubat's body, and even the blazing sun had to temporarily avoid the sharp edge of the light of evolution at this moment.

The shape under the white light gradually changed.

The pain caused by the sun faded from its body.

The next moment, the supersonic bat flew towards Wu Ge in a completely new form.

"Smash it! Smash it!"

After evolving, the Zubat is no longer afraid of sunlight.

He no longer needs to rely on ultrasound to perceive the world; at this moment, he can see the world's vibrant colors.

But his gaze naturally fell on Wu Ge, whom he had been longing for, at the first opportunity.

Just like when he was born, the first living being he sensed with ultrasound was Wu Ge.

"Oh."

The Dragonite leader breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.

What he just witnessed really gave him a fright.

But now that I think about it, I can't help but be moved by the relationship between Wu Ge and Big Mouth Bat.

He thought that he had developed a heart of stone after living for thousands of years.

However, he is still so easily moved by the feelings between other Pokémon, which is really inconsistent with the image of a domineering and cold leader.

"Oh woo!"

The Dragonite leader clenched his fist in secret.

He decided to continue working hard to develop a strong inner strength.

Starting tomorrow, if you can keep a straight face all day long, that's a success!

Wu Ge didn't wake up until the next day.

After waking up, he glanced at the Zubat guarding his left and the Shiny Dragonite standing on his right, and decided to sleep a little longer.

After half an hour.

Wu Ge regained his senses and accepted the giant bat's new form.

Although the Zubat is more powerful than the Zubat and no longer needs to fear sunlight, it is still inferior to the Zubat.

It's at the same level as the shiny fat dragon next to it.

"Goblin, congratulations! You can now see this world."

But to be fair, Wu Ge still has to wish for the evolution of Zubat.

However, upon further reflection, he felt something was amiss. Logically, according to his prediction, Zubat shouldn't have reached the level required for evolution yet.

Could it be that my prediction was wrong?

"Smash it, smash it."

The big-mouthed bat affectionately came up and hugged Wu Ge.

With his towering 3-meter frame and a wingspan of nearly six meters, he easily scooped up Wu Ge's entire head into his arms.

Its mouth was over two meters long when it opened, and it couldn't close. When it was holding Wu Ge, it seemed as if it wanted to stuff Wu Ge's head into its mouth.

"never mind."

Seeing that Big Mouth Bat looked healthy and happy, Wu Ge stopped thinking about it.

Although Zubat should theoretically evolve at Lv.22, that's just theory, so it wouldn't be surprising if it evolved one or two levels earlier.
