Pokémon: The Sims

She had originally thought that children have short memories and planned to get away with it.

"I can tell you, but please don't tell anyone else, okay?"

Sunflower raised her hand and tapped Kona's head.

"Ok!"

"About half a year ago, the Pokémon League held a general meeting to revise the League's composition and update the format of the League Tournament."

When Sunflower got to this point...

Wu Ge had already guessed what she was going to say next.

"oh?!"

"The League is preparing to establish eight gyms. In the future, if you want to register for the battle tournament, you will need to challenge all eight gyms and collect all eight badges. However, the gym leaders of the eight gyms cannot use their own Pokémon. They must start from scratch and train Pokémon of appropriate strength to deal with challengers."

After Sunflower finished speaking, she picked up the three Poké Balls at her waist.

"Huh?! Does that mean the difficulty of future tournaments will increase?"

"No, it will go down."

Sunflower smiled and shook her head, then continued to explain.

"The League introduced this competition format in order to improve the current competitive environment and give young trainers more opportunities to improve."

She didn't say anything too complicated.

Because Kona is still young, she doesn't understand the pressure adults face.

Take sunflowers for example.

She was responsible for both teaching the alliance's combat system and maintaining the normal operation of the Hua Lan Art Museum, keeping her extremely busy every day.

But even so.

She also has the free time to participate in battle tournaments.

It's only a matter of a few days, I can just ask for leave.

But to send a combat instructor to participate in a combat tournament, isn't that just pure bullying?

This has been the case in recent years in major battle tournaments. In the final round of 64, almost none of the trainers were under 20 years old.

None of the four finalists are under 30 years old.

Where do young people get the chance to stand out and express themselves?

The League originally established the battle tournament to encourage everyone to become stronger, not to let older trainers suppress younger trainers and cause them to lose their vitality and motivation.

Therefore, the tournament format was updated.

Then.

The situation for young people has improved.

Does this mean that the situation for middle-aged and elderly people has worsened?

That's really not the case.

The battle tournament has become the main arena for minors, teenagers, and young adults.

Meanwhile, the middle-aged and elderly have also opened up another main stage – the Dojo Master Tournament!

The league has already internally decided that Sunflower will be the gym leader of Cerulean City Gym.

But the other seven dojo masters haven't been chosen yet.

Those seats are reserved for trainers who are not part of the league.

The owners of these seats will be selected from this dojo master competition.

of course.

There are conditions for registering for the Dojo Master Tournament.

First, you must be a trainer specializing in a particular type; second, all six Pokémon in your team must be at the Gym Leader level.

Alliance specialists will conduct checks during the registration process.

"Eight Gyms! Bogarman, how about we go home first and come out again in a couple of years?"

Kona was trembling with excitement upon hearing this.

Challenge the gym.

Collect badges.

This is so much fun for young people, especially children!

"Don't overthink it. This is just a preliminary plan. We haven't decided when to officially implement it yet. These policies still have many shortcomings, and everyone is still discussing them."

Sunflower shook her head helplessly and patted Kona's head.

"That's what I mean. You should participate in this Kanto Tournament first to gain some experience before making any decisions."

Wu Ge sighed.

However, I felt much more relaxed.

Because once the eight gyms are released, the intensity of the tournament will decrease by at least one level.

At least in the end, there is a high probability that there will be no Elite or Champion-level trainers in the finals.

Dojo level is already incredibly powerful.

of course.

This doesn't rule out the possibility that some trainers are just bored and want to stomp on weaker opponents to win the Baby Cup, like that legendary Pokémon guy from the Sinnoh region.

But the probability is still relatively small.

If Kona becomes the champion of the tournament, then it will be a great achievement.

"Alright! Let's set off now!"

Kona nodded, then turned and ran out of the art gallery.

"Hey? Aren't you staying for a few days?"

Sunflower raised her hand in surprise.

He then shook his head helplessly, hands on his hips. Kids these days are really full of energy and passion, unwilling to wait even a moment longer.

"Where are you going?"

"Golden City!"

The distance between Cerulean City and Goldenrod City is very short.

There is also a direct road and bus service from north to south.

So they arrived in Golden City that same day.

Goldenrod City is the largest and busiest city in the entire Kanto region, and it is also quite famous in other areas.

This area is not only the central business district of the Kanto region, but also boasts the largest infrastructure in the region.

'I remember the Silver Company was located here.'

Wu Ge pursed his lips.

In his first life, he was killed by the Silfo tribe a thousand years ago.

But so much time has passed.

The original Silver tribe may now only have two or three scattered members left, and Wu Ge has no intention of seeking revenge.

night.

"Golden City, eh? I remember coming here once when I was a kid."

Walking through the city filled with towering buildings and bright lights, Kona was almost overwhelmed by the sight.

Wu Ge could tell just by looking at her.

They may be staying in Golden City for quite some time now.

And indeed, things turned out exactly as he predicted.

I spent more than half a month in Golden City.

Goldenrod City not only boasts the largest amusement park and arcade in the Kanto region, but also the largest battle club.

Kona is practically having a blast in this city.

Stop talking about her.

Even Wu Ge occasionally gets absorbed in it, not to mention the kids.

However, the novelty wears off just as quickly.

More than half a month later, Kona took the initiative to lead Wu Ge eastward.

To the east of Golden City lies Aster Town.

It is known for its paranormal events and Pokémon graveyard.

It is said that every night, the town of Ziyuan is shrouded in a mysterious fog, becoming indistinct and elusive.

Ash once traveled to Lavender Town and befriended a Gastly in order to defeat Sabrina, the leader of the Saffron City Gym.

"Piplup, look at that tower in the center, that's the Pokémon Tower!"

Lorelei carried Wu Ge as they headed towards the Pokémon Tower, muttering to herself.

"I heard there are lots of ghosts in that tower!"

"."

Wu Ge glanced at Kona.

Then he turned to look at the entrance to the Pokémon Tower.

Even in broad daylight, people come and go from the Pokémon Tower, and hundreds of people come here to pay their respects every day.

So even if the tower is rumored to be supernatural, it doesn't look scary at all now.

"Shall we go out for an adventure tonight? I heard there are lots of Ghost-type Pokémon in Lavender Town at night~ We haven't battled many Ghost-type Pokémon yet, have we?"

"Row."

Wu Ge waved his hand casually.

He always took these kinds of small things with him.

Anyway, in such a big town, there will be no shortage of people even at night, so it is basically impossible to encounter any danger.

What's more.

The situation is quite different now compared to when the Frozen Waterfall Cave was built.

Today's Lorelei is no rookie trainer. Although Wu Ge and Lapras are not high level, they are enough to face most of the dangers that can appear in human towns.

That night.

As agreed, Kona carried Wu Ge out the door.

"Where are you planning to go? Pokémon Tower?"

Wu Ge turned his head to look at the tall tower located in the center of the city.

At night, the tower looked much more eerie.

Furthermore, no other people were seen entering or leaving.

in particular..

'A familiar feeling... Is a ghost watching me again?'

Following that feeling, Wu Ge turned his head to look at the fourth floor of the Pokémon Tower.

Nothing at all.

But based on his past experience in Gumu Town, he knew what had just glanced at him.

but.
