Pokémon: The Sims.

Chapter 73 Squad Expansion
"Soulai".

At this moment, the Scyther spoke up, calling out to the new leader who was about to leave.

"Solai?"

"Swoosh sow".

The Flying Mantis said a few words casually, then turned and left.

Wu Ge glanced at him, but didn't say anything more. He simply left with the Flying Mantis.

The other Scythers, including the new leader, exchanged bewildered glances and watched helplessly as their old leader left.

A stronger leader within the clan is something all Scythers would be happy to see.

But they did not expect that after the old leader defeated the new leader, he would not take back the position of leader, but instead instructed the new leader to take good care of his responsibilities before leaving.

"Soulai".

"Swoosh!"

Among the twenty or thirty flying mantises, five emerged that appeared to be of similar age and nearing old age.

After waving to the new leader, they followed in the direction the old leader had left.

They didn't want to leave their tribe either, otherwise they would have left last time.

Because their descendants are still in this group, and only by being with so many companions can their survival rate in the Silver Mountain be increased.

However, watching the battle between the novice and the veteran leader, and seeing the veteran leader's heroic appearance, they were reminded of the memories of following the veteran leader in his battles.

They've been together for decades.

Even when faced with many dangers, the old leader never abandoned them.

So now that they have a second chance, they still want to stay with their old leader, even if it means starting all over again or dying somewhere in battle, they still want to follow in their old leader's footsteps.

the other side.

Why don't you go back and become the leader?

Wu Ge glanced at the flying mantis with curiosity.

He had originally planned to live among the Scyther clan as a 'guest retainer' or something similar.

That way, I won't have to waste time searching for food anymore, and I won't have to sleep in fear at night.

However, he wasn't too surprised by Scyther's action.

Just like Xiao Yan from Battle Through the Heavens, after being rejected by his fiancée and sent back, he never thought about marrying Nalan Yanran again.

"Soulai".

Scyther shook its head, its figure appearing somewhat forlorn.

He simply wanted to wash away the humiliation of being defeated and let his people see that he was still the strongest flying mantis.

As for the position of leader, he has gradually relinquished it in recent days.

Opportunities should be left to young people.

He's getting old, and at this stage it becomes difficult to improve his strength; in a few years, his strength might even begin to decline.

The new leader is still in his prime, the peak of a Pokémon's power, and has a long way to go before he surpasses and defeats him.

Rather than waiting until then to be defeated again, it's better to be more carefree today, voluntarily relinquish the position, and demonstrate your magnanimity.

"Hey, a few of your kind are following behind. Are they your old companions?"

At this moment, Wu Ge noticed the Flying Mantis that was closely following behind.

Judging from their appearance, these flying mantises are clearly quite old, possibly even older than the one next to him.

"Soulai".

The flying mantis turned its head to take a look.

Those were his companions who had fought alongside him from the outer perimeter of Silver Mountain into the central area.

"Swoosh sow".

The flying mantises caught up and explained their purpose.

They expressed their desire to continue following the old leader.

"Swoosh?" Scyther frowned, not showing any joy, and instead turned to ask Wu Ge for his opinion.

He is no longer alone and needs to consider the opinions of his new companions.

"Isn't it good to let them come along? That way, what happened yesterday won't happen again."

Wu Ge actually thought it was a good thing to have these flying mantises join in.

He has always believed in the power of numbers.

From his past life as a Beedrill looking for underlings to build a clan, to this life catching all sorts of Pokémon for Liz.
He had considered finding some followers when he came to Mt. Silver for training, but the problem was that he couldn't find any other Dragonair or Dratini, and the other Pokémon species that appeared in the area surrounding Mt. Silver had basically formed their own groups.

That's why he remained alone until he later met the Scyther, who was also alone.

Now that their two-person team can be expanded to a seven-person team, this is a great thing, and there is no reason to refuse.

In the future, when Wu Ge comes home exhausted after a day of battles, he won't have to be on high alert all the time and can finally take a good rest.

"whoosh"

Scyther glanced at them and then nodded.

By a twist of fate, he became the leader again, only this time the tribe was much smaller.

But this "small" only applies to the Warcraft era.

It's not just the Scyther group; there are many other Pokémon groups as well.

With the pressure of life decreasing dramatically, there is no longer any need for them to stick together. Relying on their innate racial advantages, they can live comfortably and freely on their own, and naturally they are unwilling to be subordinate to others anymore.

Therefore, in the future, it will be rare for humans to see groups of flying praying mantises together outside of their mating season.

In the wild, a team of three Scythers is already quite rare.

Most flying mantises act alone.

Of course, there may be other unknown reasons for this.

. . .

A major event has occurred in the Scyther swarm.

"So lai?!"

Many of the flying scythes stared at their new leader with expressions of disbelief.

"Soulai".

The new leader had made up his mind and, ignoring his companions' advice, turned and left alone.

He felt that the old leader had become so powerful because of the growth he had gained from acting alone in recent days.

Today's defeat left him extremely unwilling to accept it.

So he decided to follow the old leader's example and go out to survive alone, using pressure to push himself to become stronger!
"Soulai."

"Soulai".

"Solai?"

The other flying mantises were suddenly leaderless, standing there bewildered, staring at each other.

Gradually, some of the Scythers who wanted to become stronger left. They felt that what the new leader said made sense, so they all wanted to learn from the old leader and go out to survive on their own.

It might be a bit difficult.

But how can we become stronger without facing difficulties?
As the number of their kind gradually decreased, some of the weaker and more timid flying mantises, who dared not act alone, gathered their companions and formed small groups, scattering in all directions.

Change began with this group of mantises.

Over the next thousand years.

The Scythers that dispersed today will gradually change the Scythers of the entire Johto region and even the world.

But let's leave aside for now what will happen to Scyther in the future.

Just when Wu Ge thought that was all the fun he had for the day, something unexpected happened.

At this moment, Wu Ge and the six flying mantises stood in the cave, looking inside with some confusion.

"No way. What kind of heartless parent would throw their egg on my bed?"
