Pokémon: The Sims.

Chapter 399 Returning to Familiar Places, Riolu City
The red-faced dragon stayed with Wu Ge for three days before being sent away.

The day before returning to Snowflake City.

Cynthia caught him with a Poké Ball.

After capturing the Red-faced Dragon, the Poké Ball immediately shrank and locked, becoming impossible to open.

Cynthia then delivered the Poké Ball to Lan.

As for what happened between Chi Mianlong and Xunlan, it is currently unknown.

Anyway, when Xunlan learned during the video call that it was a red-faced dragon that was thirty meters tall and had lived for a thousand years, she was shocked.

The whole person is not well.

She knew about her daughter's interests and hobbies.

It is inevitable that some dangers will be encountered during the journey.

Although I worry sometimes, it's actually not too bad.

After all, Xunlan is a senior, and has much more experience traveling in her youth than Shirona.

She believed that experiencing some danger was essential for rapid growth, and besides, how much danger could there be under the Alliance's rule?
Now she realizes she was wrong.

His daughter was incredibly audacious, daring to approach a wild, dominant Pokémon without permission.

You have to know that even she, the Sinnoh chief, has to be careful with those kinds of Pokémon.

This is not a big deal.

When she learned from Cynthia that she had seen Zekrom and Reshiram, and even Victini, she was truly bewildered.

At that moment, Wu Ge saw Xunlan suddenly disappear from the video.

He appeared to be slumped on the ground.

He wasn't surprised at all.

Because that's how a normal person would react.

The more you know, the more you realize how unimaginable it is to see three legendary Pokémon at once.

Moreover, before this, Cynthia had traveled with a little-known Meloetta.

Xunlan is the leader of the Sinnoh League.

She knew all too well that encountering a legendary Pokémon was a rare and precious thing.

And understand how powerful those Pokémon are, and how dangerous they are to ordinary people.

She holds a certain reverence for all the legendary Pokémon in the world.

and so.

When Xunlan learned that Cynthia had met these legendary Pokémon unharmed and was able to continue traveling with Victini, she felt a sense of relief, as if she had survived a disaster.

But for kids like Cynthia who have just started traveling and haven't yet gained much experience on their own, this is different.

She doesn't quite understand now that she was able to see these legendary Pokémon, something many people could only dream of in their entire lives; she just felt very lucky.

Not to mention feeling dangerous.

after that.

Cynthia went on and on with Xunlan for a long time.

Upon learning that these legendary Pokémon and the Totem Pokémon Redface Dragon appeared because of Wu Ge's existence, he couldn't help but hold his forehead and almost fainted.

Finally, Xunlan seemed to feel that her heart couldn't take it anymore, so she hung up the phone.

She seemed to be planning to ask about these things properly after Cynthia and Wu Ge returned.

And now.

She also needs to deal with the Red-Faced Dragon's matter, clean up after her own dolls, and inform the United Alliance to avoid causing any concern.

Let's get back to Wu Ge and Cynthia.

According to Wu Ge's plan before his time travel, their next destination was Shuanglong City.

There is the last dojo there.

It is also the city that Cynthia most wanted to visit after arriving in Unova.

Wu Ge learned about this city from the book "The United Travel Guide".

Shuanglong City.

It is a city described as "a city where the past and the future are intertwined". The town has an ancient style and has preserved a large number of relics and ancient objects, but it is not lacking in technological products that facilitate people's lives.

This is different from what you see in the game.

In the game, Twin Dragons City is divided into two versions: Black and White.

Black represents the pursuit of the 'future' and the pursuit of convenience.

White represents respect for 'history' and the preservation of the ancient.

In the real world, Twin Dragon City is clearly a combination of two versions from the game.

In short, because she belongs to the 'white' part, Hirona is quite interested in this city, believing that she can discover historical information left over from many different eras here.

Besides.

Near Shuanglong City, there is another sacred place that can be described as almost legendary – Dragon Village.

This is also one of the things that Cynthia is interested in.

But those were all previous plans, so let's leave them aside for now.

The plans have now changed.

Their next stop was no longer Twin Dragons City, but the former capital of the Land Kingdom—Eindook.

Located in the northern part of the western continent of the Unova region.

North of the Dragon Spiral Tower, in the northwest corner of Buffalo Grassland.

A hidden city that has disappeared from the map of United States.

If Victini hadn't told them, Wu Ge and Cynthia wouldn't have known that such a city existed.

It's just like the Dragon Clan's territory hidden on the other side of the mountain in Yanmo City, or like the 'True God and Town' hidden in the God and Forest.

Cynthia was very interested in this city that Wu Ge had once visited.

She wanted to find the traces left by Wu Ge a thousand years ago.

Wu Ge felt that Cynthia was going to be disappointed.

Today, Eindook is probably a very quiet little village, or at most a small town.

After all, the situation in the Dragon Clan's territory was right before their eyes.

If neither the Dragon Clan nor the people of the land want to participate in worldly conflicts anymore, they will definitely reduce their presence, decrease their contact with the outside world, and their development will slow down.

but.

Wu Ge is wrong.

Eindook is almost unchanged from a thousand years ago.

It remains that bustling metropolis, quietly standing on the Buffalo Grassland.

Looking inside from the entrance.

Eindook is by no means desolate; in fact, it's quite lively, almost like a tourist destination.

"Didn't Eindooc disappear from the map? How come there are so many people here?" Wu Ge followed Cynthia into Eindooc with some surprise.

Judging from the appearance, language, clothing, eyes, and Pokémon carried by the people around him, it is clear that at least half of the people gathered in this city are travelers from other places.

But Eindook is not on the map.

How did these people know about this place?
How did you get here?
"It's precisely because it's disappeared from the map that it's worth exploring. Isn't a 'non-existent city' interesting?"

Cynthia smiled and pulled Wu Ge along, looking around the city with a radiant expression.

Humans are naturally inclined to explore the unknown.

Especially those 'legends' passed down from other people.

The city of Eindooc has clearly become a mysterious city that is talked about by word of mouth among the people of the Unova region.

Any traveler who hears news of this city will surely be unable to resist coming to explore it.

ancient.

This was Cynthia's first impression.

Unlike other cities, Eindook looks like a city from hundreds of years ago.

In Wu Ge's words...

It's in the style of a medieval Western town.

However, there was no excrement or garbage on the streets, and they looked very clean and tidy, which was definitely not comparable to a real medieval Western town.

"Riolus, how does it compare to a thousand years ago?"

Cynthia asked Wu Ge in a low voice.

At the same time, she glanced at the top of Wu Ge's head.

Although Victini is not visible to the naked eye now, judging from the flattened fur on Wu Ge's head, the little guy is on his head.

"Almost the same, almost no change."

Wu Ge answered truthfully.

This was also what surprised and bewildered him.

Has this city remained completely unchanged after a thousand years?

No.

Can't say the same.

It's actually quite obvious.

Many of the buildings in this city were demolished and rebuilt, so they look very new, and the materials used are incomparable to those from a thousand years ago.

Moreover, people living in such cities must adapt to the themes of the new era in order to survive.

Pokémon cafes, Pokémon beauty salons, and battle clubs are everywhere on the streets.
These things absolutely did not exist a thousand years ago.

However, the layout and style of this city are exactly the same as they were a thousand years ago.

If there weren't all sorts of billboards and slogans on the streets, and people weren't dressed in such a modern way, Wu Ge might actually think for a moment that he hadn't traveled back in time.

One person, two Pokémon.

Keep going.

Led by Wu Ge, they arrived at a huge square.

However, what kept them in place was...

In the center of the square is a huge fountain pool.

The water-spraying stone statues are none other than Wu Ge and the Red-faced Dragon.

Water gushed from the red-faced dragon's open mouth and fell into the pool below.

You can also see some Water-type Pokémon tumbling around in the pool.

"Riolu, is that you and Big Fool?"

Cynthia pointed to the stone statue.

"Ah."

Wu Ge nodded.

The presence of his statue in Eindooc does not surprise Wu Ge.

His attention is now mostly focused on the buildings surrounding the central square.

The blacksmith shop is still there.

The bakery is also there.

Even the cherry blossom tree in one corner of the square is still there, only it's three or four sizes bigger than it was a thousand years ago.

But all those familiar faces are gone.

Wu Ge then turned to look at Cynthia beside him.

The child who was with him is gone too.

Old haunts can be found everywhere.

There is nowhere to be found, only the people of old.

".well."

Wu Ge sighed and turned to look at the grand castle standing in the center of the city.

Now.

I doubt anyone knows that the castle was actually a sword.

"Riolus, come quick!"

Cynthia's cheerful voice rang out.

Wu Ge shook his head and walked over to her, accompanying her on a shopping trip.

There are quite a few stalls in Eindookne, making strolling around the town more interesting.

Wu Ge can see these stalls.

The items sold are mostly related to the Pokémon Riolu and Rhyperior.

Like Riolu's little wooden puppets and dolls.

There are truly countless examples.

It's like Riolu is the trendsetter of this city.

People coming and going on the street will buy a small wooden puppet or pendant to hang on their body in order to keep up with the trend.

For a moment, Wu Ge was completely confused.

Is Eindoark the 'City of Waves' or is Rota City the real 'City of Waves'?

But one thing is for sure.

Eindook is definitely the city in the world where Riolu appears the most.

after all.

It also has the nickname "Riolu City".
