Pokémon: The Sims.

Chapter 65 Dark Stone

When Yulongqiu accepted the fact that Gyarados was actually Fluttershy, she was ecstatic beyond words.

Yu Longqiu is a complete looks-obsessed person.

This is without exception.

Every time she sees a cute Pokémon, she begs Wu Ge to find a way for her to get close to that Pokémon.

But this doesn't mean that Yulongqiu only likes 'cute' Pokémon.

Domineering type, handsome type.
She likes anyone who is good-looking, but these types seem very powerful, so she doesn't dare to approach them.

But Gyarados is different.

She knew Gyarados very well; during that time, she would carry the constantly flapping Magikarp around the palace every day.

So after confirming his identity, the first thing Yulongqiu did was ride on Gyarados's head and wander around the capital, startling many residents.

Yu Longqiu's mother was also a ruthless person.

Ignoring Gyarados's ferocious face, they dragged Yulongqiu home and gave him a good beating.

However, Wu Ge only heard about these things from Liz the next day; he was asleep and didn't see anything so interesting.

But to be fair, Yulongqiu's Gyarados has finally found a home.

She no longer needed to spend all day in the pool in the backyard of the palace, quietly waiting for Yu Longqiu to come and see her when he had time.

. . .

Royal Palace Treasury

The royal treasury was built on the first basement level of the royal palace.

There is also a second underground level below, with the entrance located beneath the throne and the exit leading to a spot in the grasslands outside the palace. It was intended for refuge in the event of the kingdom's collapse.

The existence of this second underground level is currently known only to Liz, a human, and to him, a Pokémon.

"Let me see what treasures you have."

Wu Ge went alone to the royal treasury on the first basement floor.

Although the 'Sharp Fangs' used to evolve Scorpio are now available.

But who knows, we might find another 'sharp fang' in the treasure vault?

Then we won't need to make a special trip to Jihua Town anymore.

Furthermore, there might be some other usable items.

Open the large wooden door of the treasure vault.

What came into view was not a glittering mountain of gold.

This did not surprise Wu Ge.

Every world has its own treasures, and every era has its own background.

In the world of Pokémon, gold is... well, that's what it is.
It cannot be said to be worthless; its value is still very high, but it cannot compare to that of Earth.

Moreover, in an era when humans were still competing for iron ore, very little gold was ever mined.

The currency people use today is still 'silver coins' that have been melted down with a little bit of silver and a lot of impurities.

Therefore, the gold content in the royal palace treasury is very low, and Wu Ge can't even see much gold.

What came into view were rows of large boxes, filled with all sorts of random things.

There weren't many boxes, only about ten.

"It turns out Liz is poorer than I thought."

Wu Ge glanced at the vast but barren treasure trove and realized that he had been mistaken before.

He assumed that Liz, as the queen of a country, must be extremely wealthy, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that she was the richest woman in the Dragon Kingdom.

But he realized he was wrong.

In practical terms.

The Jodo region is only so big.

Even if the Dragon Kingdom unified the capital region, its actual territory was not that large, so naturally there weren't that many treasures on the continent.

Moreover, the Kingdom of Dragon has only been established for ten years at most, and before that it was called the Dragon Tribe.

How many treasures can be collected in ten years?
Liz isn't some tyrant who would plunder her people's wealth.

Therefore, the royal treasury really didn't contain mountains of treasures.

Wu Ge opened all the boxes, emptied the contents, spread them out on the ground, and began searching.

He actually discovered some good things.

For example.
A type of stone. "The Stone of Darkness".

Wu Ge discovered many dark purple, crystal-clear gems on the ground.

These gems were quite beautiful, with a translucent purple substance enveloping a dark mass within them.

To modern humans, this thing would be considered a beautiful gemstone.

They certainly haven't yet discovered the special effects of Dark Stones on some Pokémon.

In the Johto region, the Pokémon that can use the Dust Stone are Murkrow and Misdreavus.

"Great, if we come across one, we can catch one."

Wu Ge nodded in satisfaction.

Both of these Pokémon are worth training.

Putting aside its effects in the game, it is definitely a very practical and powerful Pokémon in real life.

Their racial advantages are particularly aroused at night.

The Murloc is entirely black, blending seamlessly into the darkness. In the night, it can see everything that reflects light, and each one is more cunning than the last.

Furthermore, the Dream Demon can hide its form in the shadows, appearing and disappearing unpredictably.

To be precise, Murloc is skilled at protecting Liz at night, while Misdreavus is skilled at assassinating enemies at night according to Liz's orders.

"What else? Let me see."

Wu Ge grinned, in a good mood.

He immediately discovered the Dark Stone, a treasure that could expand his selection of targets.

Of course, he still hoped to obtain something that could increase his strength.

"Dragon scales, tsk..."

Wu Ge then discovered another scale.

The scale is predominantly blue, with a touch of iridescence at the sharp points.

This thing is only useful for allowing Seadra to evolve into Kingdra, so it's not of much use to him.

He didn't even consider catching a sea dragon to breed with Liz.

Because Gyarados, as a Pokémon, can at least move like a snake on land, and its speed isn't too slow.

But the Sea Dragon
This thing is probably about as fast as a Dratini on land.

The wars of this era mainly take place on land, so capturing aquatic Pokémon that are not mobile is not a wise choice.

Wu Ge then searched carefully again.

At least of the things he recognized, there was really nothing useful left.

Of course, that's because most of them were things he didn't recognize. In reality, some items might have different icons than those in the game, which is why he didn't recognize them.

"Unfortunately, we only found one Dark Stone that we may not be able to use."

Wu Ge sighed and turned to leave helplessly.

The Dark Stone can only be used if you have caught Murkrow and Misdreavus.

Unfortunately.

Neither of these Pokémon is easy to encounter.

Murlocs are elusive; they sleep when they're tired, regardless of day or night, so you might encounter one during the day or night.

Misdreavus, on the other hand, is fixed to appear only at night, and this type of Pokémon has little sense of territory.

There are two sentences in the description of the Dream Demon.

[His very existence is defined by his ability to frighten others; he practices scaring people every single day.]

with.

It seems to absorb the fear in its victims using the red beads, and then use that fear as nourishment for itself.

Therefore, they don't stay in one area; instead, they wander around.

They run wherever they can scare other creatures.

If there's no fixed range of occurrences, then it's even harder to find.

"Forget it, if we encounter them, we'll catch them. If we don't, catching the original target Pokémon isn't bad either. Let's go deal with Charmander and the others first."

Wu Ge returned to the ground.

He plans to leave the capital in the next day or two, and wants to first determine the future upgrade path for the little fire dragon and the others.
