Pokémon: The Sims

Chapter 120 Mischievous New Leaf Cat

On the destroyer.

Before boarding the small rowboat.

Wu Ge, holding New Leaf Cat, sat with Tom and looked at a map of the Hoenn region.

"Forest Lizard, you really don't want to let go of New Leaf Meow at all."

Tom looked at the big guy and the kitten beside him with a smile.

No matter how you look at it, this combination is quite interesting.

When he returns to Saiyu City, he must tell Sora about this.

"It's because she doesn't want to leave me."

Wu Ge was too embarrassed to admit it.

"Meow~"

Xin Ye Miao frankly admitted that she did not want to leave Wu Ge.

"Alright, let's get down to business. Look, here we are now."

Tom unfolded the map in his hand.

The map was given to me by Ye Xiong.

But Tom, who had been in the Tokyo area for ten years, didn't need this thing at all, and he planned to leave it to Wu Ge.

"The nearest city to us is Hinoki Town, the southernmost town in the Jodo region."

Tom pointed, then pointed to the city to the northeast.

"This is our original destination, Jihua City."

Wu Ge looked him over and breathed a sigh of relief.

He didn't think the distance between Huipi Town and Jihua City was that far.

It's much closer than traveling from the Imperial Dragon Capital to Jihua City back then.

The reason Wu Ge wasn't allowed to travel directly to Jihua City by boat was because the small rowboat simply couldn't reach that place.

Tom, being an experienced captain, was well aware of the dangers of this sea.

If the waves and winds are even a little strong, or if any Water-type Pokémon are fighting nearby, this ship will capsize immediately.

For safety's sake, it's safest to head to the nearby town of Hinoki.

"Hinoki Town is a small town surrounded by forests, as if it has been left behind by time. I heard that it has hardly changed since hundreds of years ago, and it is very difficult to find. If you want to get to Jihua City from here, you will probably have to walk."

Tom stroked his chin as he analyzed the situation for Wu Ge.

He had spent ten years in the Chengdu region without ever entering the town of Hinoki.

It's not that I don't want to go, but it's really hard to find, and the mountain roads are rugged and not suitable for horse-drawn carriages.

He had only heard about this place from other old fishermen.

"It's okay, just a small problem."

Wu Ge didn't care about that.

Walking is fine, it's a good opportunity to take Xin Ye Miao out in the wild to level up and broaden her horizons.

"Once you arrive in Jihua City, go to the beach and see if there is a young man named Shuye. Give him this letter, and you don't need to worry about the rest. He will take you to Yanmo City."

Tom took a letter out of his pocket and handed it to Wu Ge.

Leaves.

This is a nobleman's child that Tom and the Lobster Soldier accidentally rescued when Tom was a fisherman.

I think I must be in my early twenties now.

At that time, Leaf said he owed Tom and the Lobster Soldier a favor, and that they could come to him for help if they ever had any difficulties in the future.

At the time, Shuye even planned to ask his father to send Tom a cruise ship, but Tom refused.

Tom never kept his good deeds in mind and didn't take the leaf's words seriously at all.

However, the leaves later started to visit Tom and the Lobster Soldier more often.

Because he loved fishing so much, he often skipped school to fish from eight in the morning until ten at night before going home.

Lobster Soldier's fishing skills deeply impressed him.

The leaves would even refer to the lobster soldiers as their masters.

If Tom hadn't been somewhat worried about the Forest Lizard and Newleaf Cat, he probably wouldn't have remembered that he knew someone like this in Jihua City.

However, Tom had no intention of telling Wu Ge any of this.

You should know best if you used a personal favor.

He felt guilty for not being able to deliver Wu Ge and Xin Ye Miao directly to Ji Hua City, and he felt that he had let Sora down.

"Hey hey hey!"

The lobster soldier chimed in from the side.

He told Wu Ge not to be polite with Shu Ye, as he was his little brother.

If his little brother disagrees, he'll go over and give him a good whack with pliers.

"Thank you, Uncle Tom."

Wu Ge looked at the handwriting on the envelope; it was probably written not long ago.

Tom must have borrowed paper and pen from someone at Orange Academy.

He put the envelope into the backpack that Grandma Sora had given him and wrote down what Tom had said.

"Alright, it's time to disembark."

Tom put the map away and placed it in Wu Ge's backpack.

Standing up, the land of the capital city could already be seen at the edge of the field of vision.

"Meow!"

This was the first time Xin Ye Miao had seen such a large 'reef' since she was born, and she excitedly kicked her legs in Wu Ge's arms.

"Be good."

Wu Ge reached out and stroked Xin Ye Miao's little ears.

Unfortunately, the little guy just wouldn't stay still, constantly wriggling in Wu Ge's arms.

"Then let's take our leave now."

Wu Ge got up, holding Xin Ye Miao and Green Box.

With the help of the crew, they landed on a small rowing boat floating on the sea below.

"Stay inside the boat and don't run around or stick your head out of the water. There are terrifying sharks in the sea that could eat you up!"

Wu Ge placed Xin Ye Miao at his feet and assigned her a task.

"Keep an eye on the green box, or you'll lose it."

"Meow!"

Upon hearing this, Xin Ye Miao immediately hugged the green box.

Even if the green box sinks into the sea today, she will sink with it!

Seeing her like this, Wu Ge shook his head helplessly and reached out to grab the oars on the boat, starting to slowly rock it.

The small boat began to move slowly forward, approaching the land not far away.

"Forest lizard, be careful on your journey! Remember what I said!"

On the destroyer, Tom watched Wu Ge sail away and shouted a reminder again.

"hey-hey!"

The lobster soldier also tried its best to wave its pincers to say goodbye to Wu Ge and the others.

"Meow meow~"

New Leaf Cat raised a small paw in response.

Wu Ge smiled, her eyebrows curving as she waved.

"A real man strides forward with a resounding voice! Little Lobster Soldier, let's dance a farewell dance at sea to bid farewell to our friends!"

"hey-hey!"

"Bringing you Binks' fine wine~"

"Hehehe~"

As Tom and the Lobster Soldier talked, they started dancing a strange dance and singing cheerful songs at the top of their lungs in the direction of Wu Ge and the others.

"Hahaha"

Unlike before, Wu Ge didn't feel embarrassed or confused this time; instead, he couldn't help but burst into laughter.

After all, I know it very well.

That's just the unique style of his two friends.

"I'm really happy to meet you all."

The small boat gradually moved further and further away from the massive destroyer.

They eventually disappeared from each other's sight.

On the sea.

"Yeah, we should be there in about five more minutes."

Wu Ge looked up at the nearby city and forest, feeling a little nostalgic.

Although he had never been anywhere except the Dragon Capital and Jihua Town in his previous life, he still had some affection for this land.

"Meow~"

Just then, Shin-Ye-Nyan suddenly made a sound full of curiosity.

Wu Ge turned his head and was so frightened that his face turned pale.

Suddenly, Xin Ye Miao had poked her head out of the boat, and just then, a sharp-toothed fish leaped out of the sea and lunged at Xin Ye Miao's little head with its mouth wide open.

"Go to hell!"

Wu Ge launched the oar with a speed that was almost imperceptible to the naked eye.

Bang!

The oar struck the sharp-toothed fish, sending it flying back into the sea.

Then Wu Ge disregarded everything else, grabbed Xin Ye Miao and pulled her back, then dragged the green box over and pressed it down on the naughty kitten, rendering her unable to move for a moment.

Then, Wu Ge jumped directly into the sea, braced himself against the small boat with both hands, and began to swim.

This is certainly not your average trip.

Instead, it swam at lightning speed.

huh~

At this moment, Wu Ge used both legs and his tail, transforming into a forest lizard propeller that propelled the small boat forward.

Swish swish!

Shortly after Wu Ge steered the boat away, seven or eight sharp-toothed fish emerged from the sea behind them and relentlessly pursued them.

"I knew it!"

Wu Ge didn't even need to look back.

He knew what was going on just by hearing the constant clanging of his teeth.

Thanks to the lobster soldier, he knew that if he saw a sharp-toothed fish in a certain place, it was most likely because he had wandered into the sharp-toothed fish's nest.
