Pokémon: The Sims.

Chapter 71 When we join forces, we are invincible (1)

Spring has gone and summer has arrived again.

Wu Ge has repeatedly expressed his gratitude that his decision to save Scyther was absolutely correct.

Flying Mantis is a seasoned veteran of Silver Mountain.

He had walked at least 80% of the central and outer areas of Baiyin Mountain.

He remembered a great deal about which regions had powerful Pokémon and what rare medicinal herbs and berries were found there.

Thanks to the memories of the Flying Mantis, Wu Ge has had a much easier time these days.

Furthermore, they often team up to challenge even stronger Pokémon, which greatly improves Wu Ge's leveling efficiency.

"Scyther, I'm heading out now."

Wu Ge flew to the cave entrance, turned his head, and raised his chin at the flying mantis.

"Soulai".

Scyther glanced at him and nodded.

Scyther's injuries have long since healed, except for its left eye, which is now blind.

The Flying Mantis is of a very high level, even higher than Wu Ge.

However, since Wu Ge has never reached a higher level, the judgment is not very accurate. It can only be estimated that the level of the Flying Mantis is around Lv.46.

"Level 44 already, evolution should be imminent."

Wu Ge flew forward with his head down, focusing his attention on his personal panel.

He didn't know how many days he had been out, only that he had come out in winter, and now it was summer.

Many people may think that summer is when Pokémon are most active.

But that's not actually the case.

The temperature in Mt. Silver is ridiculously high in summer, and most Pokémon will hide in the shade.

They will try to minimize unnecessary activities to avoid elevated body temperature and decreased physical strength.

Pokémon might be more active during the summer in the Sinnoh region, since the summer temperatures there aren't as high.

Wu Ge himself didn't really want to leave the cave, let alone the other Pokémon.

Every time he left the cave, he could feel the water in his body draining away rapidly, and yet he still hadn't learned the rain-summoning technique.

boom!
Just as Wu Ge was pondering how long it would take for him to evolve, a heavy sound came from the forest not far away.

"Well?"

Wu Ge frowned.

He recognized the sound as the footsteps of some kind of Pokémon.

But having stayed in this area for so long, he couldn't recall any Pokémon nearby that could make such heavy, enormous footsteps.

Wu Ge peered toward the direction from which the sound came from.

Unfortunately, when he arrived at the location from which the sound came, he did not see any Pokémon, presumably because the other party had already left.

Wu Ge only saw a pair of huge, sunken footprints on the ground.

The footprints looked like those of some kind of monster.

"Could it be that they jumped from up here?"

Wu Ge looked up at the rock face in front of him.

The rock face was over fifty meters high, and he couldn't imagine what kind of monster could jump down from it and leave unharmed.

"I'll have to remind Scyther when we get back."

Wu Ge glanced at the footprints on the ground again, then turned and left.

Another ordinary day of battle.

Wu Ge flew wearily toward the cave.

Swish.
However, on his way back, he suddenly heard a familiar voice nearby.

"That's the sound of a Scyther fighting!"

Wu Ge's eyes widened, and he quickly rushed towards the direction from which the sound came.

He had fought alongside Scyther many times, so he was quite familiar with the sound Scyther made when it swung its mantis arms.

Judging from the distance and the sound, it was clear that the Scyther was not in good condition at the moment, and the strength of its arm swings had become somewhat slow.

"Flying Mantis!"

Wu Ge flew to the destination at top speed and immediately understood what was going on. The Scyther was probably practicing its skills nearby, as could be seen from the knife marks on the surrounding trees.

But what a coincidence.

The sounds of practice attracted old enemies.

It was a race composed entirely of Ariados, numbering about twenty or so.

Wu Ge had heard Flying Mantis mention it before.

Because the Scyther colony and the Ariados colony are located close to each other, they often fight, slaughtering each other for food and territory.

Because Ariados is weak to Flying-type attacks, the Scyther clan has generally maintained a significant advantage over the Ariados clan.

No matter how much the Aridos people hated it, there was nothing they could do; they couldn't defeat them, so they had to move to a different territory.

Coincidentally, the place where the Scyther was practicing its skills today was very close to the Ariados colony, and the commotion it made attracted the attention of the Ariados colony.

If it were any other Pokémon, Ariados and the others might have ignored it.

But he happens to be the leader of the enemy's tribe.

They didn't know that Scyther had left the colony, nor did they know why Scyther was here alone.

They only knew they couldn't let go of this opportunity to surround and kill the Scyther.

"Soulai..."

When the Flying Mantis saw Wu Ge arrive, it breathed a sigh of relief.

Then his body went limp and he knelt down on one knee, his body turning an unhealthy pale purple.

The poisoning is very serious.

Wu Ge looked down at the body of the Flying Mantis.

He then turned to look at the Ariados, who were still hesitating in place.

Wu Ge's enormous size intimidated them, and with an equally powerful flying mantis nearby, they hesitated whether to continue the fight.

"Kabutoshi!"

The leader of Ariados spoke.

They decided to continue their assault and wipe out the Scyther here, avenging all their past grudges.

"Swoosh!"

Scyther looked up and nudged Wu Ge, signaling him to leave immediately.

This was a grudge between him and the Ariados clan, and he didn't want to involve his friends and benefactors.

"Can you still fight?"

Wu Ge glanced around and asked a question.

He can't escape now.

A dozen or so Ariados had spread out around the area, weaving a large web with their silk threads, and even the tree canopy above was covered with dense spider webs.

The spider webs of Alidos are quite tough, and their silk threads were highly praised in many regions for their strength.

Perhaps Wu Ge could force his way through.
However, he felt there was no need to run.

Judging from the physique of the group of Ariados around him, Wu Ge realized that none of them were above level 40.

This level is the lowest in the middle area, barely enough to survive.

If they weren't so numerous that they could wage a protracted war, they would never have been able to injure the Scyther to this extent.

"Soulai".

The mantis gritted its teeth, propped itself up on the ground, and nodded weakly.

"If we join forces, we will be invincible."

Wu Ge grinned, stood back-to-back with Scyther, looked around, and jokingly said something.

Many of the surrounding Ariados were in poor condition, probably because they had been injured by Scyther earlier.

Given the current situation.

Wu Ge felt that if he and the Scyther teamed up, they should have no problem defeating the group of spiders.

“.Soulai”.

Scyther glanced around, sensing the sensation behind it, and nodded.

If we don't need to worry about attacks from behind, then...
We can win!
