Pokémon: The Sims.

Chapter 511 'Genius'

Winter of the 190th year of the League calendar.

Cynthia was invited to attend the Sinnoh Conference.

It was a very difficult match at the time, one that even with our best efforts, we might not be able to win.

Looking back now, it seems so simple.

I've been watching from the knockout stage all the way through.

Cynthia also realized that there were actually so many talented players with potential.

original
Only a tiny fraction of people in this world are able to join hands with their Pokémon and work together to cross that Dragon Gate and reach a higher position.

It just so happens.

She and Lucario were among them.

The one who made it to the end in the knockout stage was a 12-year-old boy named Raiji.

He was able to win a regional championship at the age of 12.

This is undoubtedly an absolute genius player.

How talented is he?
When Cynthia was 12 years old, she challenged the Unova League.

Wu Ge only managed a draw with Mabel, thus securing a joint victory.

Although the two competitions are not comparable in difficulty, the regional competition has now become a veritable baby cup.

But even a baby cup.

That still has a certain level of value.

It can be said.

The Baby Cup is specifically designed to find talented athletes.

What do you think of this newcomer?

Cynthia sat in the champion's seat and turned to look at Wu Ge next to her.

At this moment.

Of everyone present, she held the highest status.

The status of league champion.

He is greater than an ordinary Pokémon professor, on par with the League Elders, and second only to the League President.

How does one become an elder of the alliance?

The president or chief executive officer steps down.

Or they made contributions to the Pokémon League that are worthy of being remembered in history.

Even the lavender.

Her contributions alone are not enough to qualify her as an elder.

She became an elder because the chief abdicated, giving the position to Cynthia.

"Him? He's not suited for this path; he won't go far if he forces himself on it."

Wu Ge glanced down at it, not caring.

He knows this man.

Lei Si.

Shinji's older brother.

She was Shinji's idol when he was a child, and according to official settings, she was also a genius in her youth.

But.

He's a genius like Shinji, a 'player type'.

Wu Ge's less-than-favorable evaluation of Lei Si is not due to the official character design.

Lived for so many years.

Wu Ge already knew this very well.

Official settings are fine as a reference in the real world, but using them as a standard will only lead to disaster.

fact.

You have to go see for yourself and find it yourself.

His assessment of Lei Si.

It was entirely based on his own 'seeing'.

"Oh? He's a genius who won the Sinnoh Tournament."

Cynthia smiled slightly and reached out to pinch Wu Ge's tail.

"He was indeed a genius at 12 years old, but if he were in your year of 12, he probably wouldn't have even made it to the knockout stage."

Wu Ge yawned and glanced at the audience below.
“Cynthia, look at this audience. How many tournament champions are sitting here? There must be at least a hundred tournament champions from the last ten years.”

The heroes of the world are like the crucian carp crossing the river.

How many people can actually reach their level?

The referee is asking Reis if he wants to challenge Cynthia.

If there is a challenge, it won't start immediately, since Raiji has just finished a battle and needs to give the Pokémon time to rest.

The final match ended in the morning.

If the battle doesn't start in the afternoon, it will start the next morning.

Lei Si certainly wouldn't give up this hard-won opportunity to take on the challenge.

Or.

Any trainer who aims to become stronger will never give up the opportunity to challenge themselves to become stronger.

The time came the next day.

It's the same venue.

This time, the two sides facing off are Reiji and Cynthia.

Nothing more.

There were very few spectators at this match.

Those who can stay here to watch the game are basically members of the league.

There is no other reason.

Lei Si chose not to publicly announce the challenge.

This is the challenger's right.

Just like when Darkroc won the Suzuran Tournament, he chose not to publicly challenge Cynthia.

Before the battle begins.

As a league champion and a senior figure.

Cynthia has an obligation to offer some words of encouragement to her juniors before the battle begins, which is also a requirement from the League, making it easier for them to make a fuss about it later.

After giving a few perfunctory replies...

Cynthia was silent for a while, then suddenly asked:
"Rayce, what exactly does Pokémon mean to you?"

"arms?"

Lei Si tilted his head.

He didn't seem to want to waste time on this pointless question.

after all.

I've asked him that kind of question before.

And then there are those who keep talking about camaraderie and bonds.

They were all his defeated opponents.

He had absolutely no interest in listening to what his defeated subordinates were saying.

After all, listening to it wouldn't make him stronger.

After listening to Rais's words...

Cynthia is pretty much certain now.

She was right before; there was a big problem with this child and his Pokémon.

Lucario's judgment was correct.

Such a child.

On the path of battling trainers.

It won't go far.

"Then what are you fighting for?"

"win."

This time, Lei Si answered without hesitation.

"What do you want to gain after you win?"

"I don't know, we'll talk about it after we win."

Lei Si was confused for a moment, then shook his head.

Why did I come to participate in Pokémon battles?
Because everyone participates.

So I want to participate too.

That's about it. "Is that so? Let's fight."

Cynthia smiled and looked at Wu Ge beside her.
"Please give me more advice."

Lei Si bowed slightly to Cynthia, and then glanced at Wu Ge as he turned around.

They didn't really take him seriously.

This is not a sign of disrespect.

Instead, they didn't consider Wu Ge a rival.

In simple terms.

Lei Si believes that Wu Ge is merely Cynthia's weapon, and his strength is irrelevant, as he is just a tool that obeys the trainer's orders. The only real opponent is Cynthia.

"What a wicked brat, even worse than Shinji."

Wu Ge shook his head and sighed.

Let's rank Ash's rivals by how unpopular they are.

The first to be mentioned are either Gouhao or Xiudi.

As for Shinji...
It's very popular.

They might be even taller than Xiao Mao.

"Lucario."

Cynthia raised her right hand.

"Huh? Are we going to go this far?"

Wu Ge raised an eyebrow.

They're already bullying a fledgling, and they're still planning to release a Mega Evolution?
It seems like Cynthia is planning to give Reiss some serious pointers.

Whatever.

It didn't matter to him.

Mega or not, it's the same; it's all about one-hit kill.

"You're the first one, Devourer."

"Poison type?"

Cynthia and Wu Ge were both taken aback.

Trainers like Raiji are not the kind of reckless characters who don't even understand basic type matchups.

Poison-type attacks cannot damage Steel-type attacks.

Lei Si should know this.

"Never mind, it doesn't matter."

Wu Ge shrugged.

next moment.

The light of evolution emanated from his body.

The imposing Mega Lucario suddenly appeared on the field.

"Let us show you just how powerful the combination of a trainer's and a Pokémon's hearts can unleash."

Cynthia's red lips lightly left the ring on her finger, then she raised her hand and pointed forward:
"Lucario, use the bone club to beat him randomly."

Wu Ge raised his hand and grabbed in mid-air, and a long, azure-blue bone staff instantly appeared in his hand.

Bang!
A cloud of dust erupted from where Wu Ge had been standing.

In the blink of an eye, he appeared above the Devouring Beast's head.

"what?!"

Lei Si's eyes widened, and he quickly shouted:
"Charge up!"

It was so fast that he didn't even have time to react.

boom!
Sand and dust are everywhere.

When the yellow sand settled, a pit ten meters in diameter appeared in front of Wu Ge, and the Devouring Beast was lying in the center of the pit with round eyes.

Kill instantly with one hit.

There is no way to fight back.

"Can't even withstand a single blow?"

Lei Si, with a dark expression, recalled the Devouring Beast.

But he did not vent his anger on the Devouring Beast.

He's not brainless.

If the Devourer Beast didn't have the strength, it wouldn't be qualified to stand in front of Cynthia.

It's simply because the level difference is too great.

“Muk Eagle, come here.”

Raiji summoned his second Pokémon.

His expression turned extremely serious at that moment.

We lost the first round.

He was quite unconvinced.

He felt that Cynthia's victory was not due to her superior command skills, but simply because Wu Ge was of a higher level.

of course.

that's the truth.

Meanwhile, Wu Ge and Cynthia on the other side also realized what Lei Si was thinking.

"Sweep the field with a storm."

Lei Si's voice rang out.

This time, Wu Ge and Cynthia did not react.

They let the Mk Eagles flap their wings, creating gusts of wind on the field.

A gust of wind blew against Wu Ge.

Every now and then, you can shave off a couple of hairs from his head.

But that's all there is to it.

"High-speed movement, shadow clones."

The silhouette of the Mk Eagle, mingling with the gale, hurtled through the air.

The entire battlefield suddenly descended into chaos.

Humans and ordinary Pokémon.

There is absolutely no way that it could find its true form amidst so many fast-moving Mk Eagles in a raging storm.

"Thunder Fist."

Cynthia said something expressionlessly.

These are the things Lei Si plays.

They've already done all that.

Cynthia has many ways to deal with him, but she doesn't plan to use them; instead, she'll let Wu Ge do it himself.

The purpose was to make Lei Si realize something.

Pokémon Battle.

It's not just a battle between trainers.

If you can't trust Pokémon's choices and intelligence, then you might as well get out of the battle early to avoid embarrassing yourself later.

zizi
A flash of yellow lightning streaked past Lei Si's eyes.

In the blink of an eye, the Mk Eagle, like a pair of lovebirds that had lost their other half, fell from the sky right in front of him.

Bang!
"Giggle"

Mk Eagle kicked his legs, and electricity swept through his entire body.

His eyes rolled back, and he lost the ability to fight.

"."

Lei Si stared blankly at Muke Eagle, looking down at him.

how is this possible
Humans cannot find the true form of the Starhawk from that combination attack.

This combination of techniques made him invincible at the conference.

Sudden.

"No, it's not you."

Lei Si's eyes widened suddenly, shifting his gaze from Cynthia to Wu Ge.

"It's you."

It was this Lucario that located the Starhawk.

Cynthia simply made a basic skill selection.

And the rest.

She entrusted everything to her Pokémon!
