Pokémon: The Sims.

Chapter 340 Ancient City

Who wants to challenge me?
So crazy?
Do I have to insult you first before you challenge me?
A question mark appeared above Wu Ge's head, and then he turned his head to look in the direction from which the sound came.

however.

He only realized it when he turned his head away.

"Idiot Riolu" wasn't being called him; it was another boy calling Cynthia.

"?"

Wu Ge frowned, as if he knew what was going on.

"I, 'Idiot Riolu,' accept your challenge! Invincible King Belial."

Cynthia pursed her lips slightly, noticing Wu Ge's gaze.

She raised her chin with a hint of smugness.

Just when Shirona thought Wu Ge would be angry with Hong Wen.

She saw Wu Ge pull Meloeta away and go somewhere else, without even bothering to watch her fight.

This made Cynthia very sad, her eyes filled with grievance.

She looked down at her toes.

For a moment, I felt a bit lost and couldn't even muster the interest to fight.

In the ensuing battle, Cynthia easily secured victory.

Although she wasn't in the right frame of mind.

But it's not an opponent that Beria, the Lung Mist, can defeat.

Cynthia emerged from the battlefield and saw Wu Ge and Meloetta building blocks in the children's play area.

She really liked the two Pokémon's adorable appearance.

She took a step, intending to get closer.

But suddenly he stopped walking, his eyes dimmed, and then he sat alone on a bench outside the play area.

The benches around her were filled with adults, mostly parents, while Cynthia sat alone among them.

The girl sat there blankly, occasionally glancing up at the wretched dog.

"Does Riolu not like me anymore?"

This time it's in Feiyun City.

They stayed for about three days.

Cynthia basically spends all her time in the gaming club, while Wu Ge plays with Meloetta.

Wu Ge wasn't just playing around.

He was also asking Meloetta how much she knew about the things concerning the Kingdom of Earth.

But it's a pity.

Meloetta has historically been located in the easternmost part of the Unova region, a deep-sea underwater ruin.

There was no knowledge of the war that mainly took place on the western continent.

His memories are mostly of eating, drinking, having fun, music and dance.

At most, it's about some things related to the Three Clouds of the Union, and it's basically information that Wu Ge already knew in his previous two lives.

Wu Ge wasn't too disappointed.

After all, living a long life doesn't necessarily mean knowing a lot.

They stay in one place and sleep for hundreds or thousands of years.

Even if someone is thousands of years old, they can't possibly know much.

Even if someone like Wu Ge, who travels all over the world and asks questions everywhere, only lived for a little over a hundred years, his knowledge would still be quite rich and broad.

Set off again.

The target is Raven City, located due north.

However, the road ahead is not so easy.

Because after leaving Feiyun City, to the north lies a vast desert.

This desert covers almost a quarter of the entire central continent.

Despite the fact that the United States is building a north-south highway that directly connects the two cities of Flying Cloud and Raven.

But how difficult is it to build roads in the desert?

Nearly two hundred years have passed since the founding of the United States Alliance, and this road is still under construction.

The roads were shrouded in yellow sand, and construction materials and makeshift workshops could be seen everywhere.

Walking on the scorching road.

'I remember in the anime, outside of Feiyun City was a continuous mountain range. Is this world a version of the game?'

Feeling the sensation of his feet rubbing against the yellow sand, Wu Ge couldn't help but feel a little dizzy.

The environment in this desert is dry and hot.

The sun overhead shone on his thick hair, making it hard for him to breathe.

The road ahead is long.

Wu Ge didn't know how long it would take to get out of this desert.

Even though she can use Garchomp's power to move forward, she still needs to rest.

and.

Even with Garchomp around, it would probably take at least three days to get out of this desert.

They might have to spend the night in the desert.

Fortunately, there are two or three workshops every now and then on both sides of the road, so the environment isn't too bad if you set up a tent in one of the workshops.

"Miru~"

Meloeta lay on Wu Ge's head and waved her hand weakly.

This kind of weather.

Even though she loves singing, she didn't want to say another word.

Swish.

A gust of hot air swept past me.

But the next moment, a shadow covered them.

Wu Ge looked up.

A parasol shielded the scorching sun.

The girl next to them was holding an umbrella and panting heavily, clearly not feeling well either, but she still silently insisted on using the umbrella to shield them from the sun.

They continued forward for an unknown amount of time.

Seeing that Cynthia's legs seemed to be getting weak, Wu Ge was about to suggest that they rest for a while.

Just then, the roar of an engine came from behind.

Hey guys, wanna hitch a ride?

Although the voice came from a man.

But in Wu Ge's heart, this was the most beautiful sound in the world at that moment, even more beautiful than Meloeta's voice.

"Please!" x2
"Milu!"

Half an hour later.

The three little ones poked their heads out of the SUV. The wind that came their way seemed to cool them down as they sped up.

"saved"

Cynthia muttered something to herself.

The moment I sat in the car, I realized how hellish the experience of traveling in the desert truly was.

In other words, there is still a path they can take, guiding them in the right direction.

otherwise.

They might all get lost in this desert and die there.

“You are very lucky. I was just about to go and check out the wilderness scenic area ahead when I ran into you.”

The driver was a middle-aged man wearing glasses.

He looked to be in his thirties, with an ordinary appearance but a remarkable demeanor, exuding the air of an elder.

"Wilderness Scenic Area? Is that the place with many ancient ruins scattered around?"

Cynthia's eyes lit up, and she quickly pressed for more information.

"Hmm! You're interested? Want to go check it out together? It's my first time going too."

"Please be sure to take us with you!"

Cynthia nodded quickly.

Wilderness Recreation Area is quite famous in the Unova region, but most people have only heard of it and have never been there in person.

Because it is located in the harsh desert environment, not many people are willing to go there.

"It's rare to meet a child who's interested in these things. Nowadays, most kids are more interested in battles and coordination. What's your name?"

"My name is Cynthia, I come from the Sinnoh region, and archaeology is my hobby!"

"Hehe, I am Yorgos, a scholar of castle culture."

A gentle smile appeared on the man's face.

"Castle culture?"

Cynthia looked puzzled; it was the first time she had heard of this.

"Yes, I have a strong interest in those castles that have been lost or collapsed in history, and I have traveled all over the world to study the traces left by these castles."

Joggs nodded patiently.

He then began to recount his past experiences and observations.

Wu Ge and Meloeta found it uninteresting and soon fell asleep.

the next morning.

They finally arrived at the 'wilderness resort'.

However, apart from the yellow sand, all that could be seen were some dilapidated, sandy-yellow stone pillars.

Those things that have research value have long been gradually erased by history.

"right here?"

"No! I want to go to the legendary ancient city."

"Ancient city?"

"That's right, a huge castle ruin with more than 2500 years of history, said to be located at the northernmost part of the Wilderness Scenic Area, but it seems that few people have ever been there."

Joggs nodded, his gaze fixed on the edge of the desert.
"According to the research of historical scholars, this region was not originally a desert, but a huge kingdom that once had infinite glory and honor."

"That"

"It was burned down during the war."

Joggs's gaze was indifferent, as if he was aware of Cynthia's doubts.

"How could such a vast kingdom be burned down like this?"

"Where there are humans, there is conflict; where there is conflict, there is destruction. Did you hear this saying when you were a child?"

"what?"

"You are what you eat."

A smile appeared on Joggs' lips.

"Hmm, I think I've heard of that before."

Cynthia thought for a moment, then nodded.

"For many ambitious people who want to trample others underfoot, hardship will not make them superior; they will only make them superior by devouring others. This was especially true in an era thousands of years ago, when war, exploitation, and oppression were inevitable."

"War is a bad thing, isn't it?"

Cynthia hesitated for a moment.

She didn't think too much about it.

All I know is that war kills many innocent people and Pokémon.

"Ordinary people know one thing but not the other. Whether war is necessary or beneficial to the world is not something we can know at the moment. At least, at the moment the war is launched, we all firmly believe that the result of victory will be good."

Joggs sighed, raised his eyelids slightly, and muttered something under his breath.
"found it."

His voice made the three little ones look ahead.

At the edge of the desert, there was a huge sinkhole!

The off-road vehicle was parked next to the sinkhole.

"Oh my God!"

Cynthia rushed over, then stood there stunned and exclaimed in amazement.

"It seems that this ancient city has already been explored by the United Alliance."

Joggs glanced around, a glint of something unreadable flashing in his eyes.

Wu Ge stood behind Yoggs, looking up at the guy's back and frowning.

He always felt that something was off about this guy.

Especially after he said those things to Cynthia in the car.

Wu Ge then felt that this Jogus was a bit eccentric.

But he didn't actually detect anything wrong with Joggs's waveguide.

At least.

Wu Ge can be confirmed.

Regardless of Joggs' true identity, he harbored no ill will towards them.

What's more.

Yogs gave them a ride in the desert and didn't seem like a bad person.

Wu Ge shook his head.

He still didn't overthink Joggs.

"Was this castle buried underground before?"

"Hmm, it seems to have been discovered by the United Alliance about two years ago. They dug out a road leading there."

Joggs observed the steep path on the sinkhole wall and confirmed the route.
"Shall we go in and take a look? Although there probably isn't anything of value left."

"The castle itself is of great value!"

"you're right."
