Pokémon: The Sims

The unicorn beetle glanced gratefully at Wu Ge, then weakly raised its head to nibble on the tree fruit.

Worried that this guy would steal his other fruits after he recovered, Wu Ge continued to eat the remaining tree fruits until he was stuffed.

There's no other way; we have to be careful.

After all, this guy looks much stronger than him.

However, Wu Ge made one serious miscalculation.

That is, Pokémon are not as evil as humans, so how could they repay kindness with enmity?

Seeing that the unicorn beetle had finished eating and found a bush to curl up and sleep, Wu Ge also found a safe place to hide and sleep.

When he woke up, he looked surprised.

Because the unicorn beetle was lying right next to him.

This startled Wu Ge greatly.

However, seeing that the other party showed no hostility, he breathed a sigh of relief. After observing for a while, he realized that the unicorn beetle might be protecting him while he was sleeping.

"I was sleeping so soundly that I didn't even notice this guy getting close."

"What's your name?"

Wu Ge asked this unicorn.

He figured these wild Pokémon probably didn't have names, but he asked anyway.

After all, it's my first time making Pokémon, so who knows if the Pokémon will have their own names and nicknames?

"Buzz~ (No name.)"

"Will you come with me from now on?"

Wu Ge was not surprised by the other party's answer; instead, he extended an invitation.

"Om~"

The unicorn beetle nodded, revealing a happy expression, and then used its unicorn to approach Wu Ge.

He had always acted alone and felt somewhat lonely, but now he is happy to have a companion.

“Then we need to have code names. You can call me Wu Ge, and you can call me Xiao Huang.”

Looking at the unicorn insect in front of him, Wu Ge roughly understood what it meant and also used his unicorn to approach it.

He noticed that the other creature's body color was lighter than that of a typical unicorn beetle, so he gave it that name.

As for why you use your horn to touch the opponent's horn.

This is how unicorns express friendliness.

"Buzz~ (Okay, Wu Ge.)"

Can you climb a tree?

Wu Ge asked the other person a question.

He felt that the other person's physique was already capable of climbing trees.

As expected, Xiao Huang nodded and looked at Wu Ge with a questioning look.

He remembered that he could climb trees when he was born, so why couldn't Wu Ge do it?

“Come on, let’s finish eating all those fruits, then go up the tree. You can carry me; I’m not strong enough.”

"Buzz~ (Okay.)"

Xiao Huang nodded.

Next, Wu Ge led Xiao Huang to clean up the uneaten fruit that the mosquito coil tadpoles had brought.

They then continued their challenge against the tree.

But this time it's different.

Wu Ge crawled ahead, while Xiao Huang pushed against his butt from behind, saving him a lot of effort.

Finally, Wu Ge reached the top of the tree trunk and saw the splendor of the tree.

You wouldn't know unless you came up to the trees; there are Bug-type Pokémon on almost any tree in this forest.

There's a fat green caterpillar on that tree next to us.

On their tree, there was also a unicorn beetle about the same size as Little Yellow.

"Buzz~ (Wu Ge, should we hit him?)"

After Xiao Huang climbed up the tree trunk, he also saw the unicorn beetle right next to him, which was also staring at them warily.

Wu Ge considered for a moment, looked at Little Yellow beside him, and then at the unicorn beetle.

Then I carefully observed the situation on the surrounding big trees.

He roughly understood what was going on.

Territoriality.

An insect has taken over a tree, claiming the tree and its fruit as its own.

Xiao Huang's words meant he was asking Wu Ge whether he wanted to take over the other party's territory.

"Don't worry, let's take a look first."

Wu Ge pondered for a moment, then shook his head.

These small Pokémon, such as Caterpie and Weedle, are not very intelligent. They lack the concept and awareness of teamwork and only think about enjoying everything by themselves.

The concept of a group only emerged when they evolved into Butterfree and Beedrill.

However, Wu Ge doesn't need to wait until the Beedrill stage to form his own force; he can form a small Unicorn Beetle squad right now.

Thinking this, Wu Ge wriggled toward the unfamiliar unicorn beetle.

"Hello."

"Buzz~ (Leave!)"

Wu Ge was taken aback when he heard the other person's voice.

Because the voice sounded like a woman's in his ears, and the unicorn in front of him was a female.

“We can cooperate to take over all the big trees in this area.”

"Buzz! (Leave!)"

"Little Huang, beat her up."

Wu Ge felt that the other person was too nervous and couldn't communicate with him properly.

So Wu Ge decided to team up with Xiao Huang to teach this unicorn bug a lesson and calm it down.

Pooh!

Wu Ge tried spitting, and ended up spitting out a thin thread that trapped the unicorn beetle.

The opponent immediately used their silk-spitting skill to shoot at Wu Ge.

However, Wu Ge simply stepped back and dodged it.

On the other side, Little Yellow rushed forward and bit the other's head.

"Little Yellow's Insect Bite skill is at a pretty high level, so why hasn't it evolved yet?"

Wu Ge was a little surprised by the skill Xiao Huang used.

The unicorn can only learn three skills in total.

They are born with poison needles and silk-spitting abilities, as well as insect bites, which can only be learned at around level 9.

Generally speaking, a unicorn at this level is already within the range where it can evolve.

The unicorn beetle on the other side was clearly not as high-level as Little Yellow, and was being fought two against one, so it was quickly defeated.

Finally, in despair, she lay on the branch, quietly waiting for her two kin to come and kick her off the tree or eat her.

"Now can you listen to me properly?"

Wu Ge had no intention of eating her; he simply moved closer to talk to her.

"Buzz~ (What do you want to say?)"

"Join our team, and you'll have tons of tree fruits! Plus, you won't be bullied by the other trees!"

After thinking for a moment, Wu Ge decided to use a simpler way of saying it.

"Buzz~ (Really?)"

The unicorn's eyes lit up, and it seemed like it was about to drool.

"real."

Wu Ge nodded.

The unicorn immediately stopped resisting and nodded, indicating its willingness to join Wu Ge's team.

"Let's get to know each other again. My name is Wu Ge, this is Xiao Huang, and you need a name too. I'll give you one."

"Buzz~ (Hmm!)"

"Your name is Xiaomei."

Wu Ge stared at the female unicorn beetle for a while and found that its two small eyes and the small unicorn on its head were quite delicate.

Although he wasn't particularly good at appreciating the beauty of unicorns, he thought this female unicorn was probably one of the prettiest among the unicorns.

So we named her 'Xiao Mei'.

"Buzz~ (Okay~)"

Xiao Mei nodded, then leaned closer and pressed her horn against the two of them.

Wu Ge and Xiao Huang both lowered their heads and pressed their corners against each other.

The three of them are now considered a small group, a group of friends.

"We'll stay on this tree for the next few days and eat as much as we can. We'll eat all the fruit on this tree! Don't waste your appetite eating leaves, eat more fruit! Once we're done, we'll go and take over the territory of other insects."

"Okay!" x2

Led by Wu Ge, the three insects frantically devoured the wild apples on the tree.

There were so many wild apples on the tree that it would take the three small insects at least ten days to eat them all.

And things changed very quickly.

That night, a white light emanated from Xiao Huang's body.

Xiao Mei was startled and hid behind Wu Ge, who was even smaller. After the white light on Xiao Huang dissipated, it turned into a silkworm cocoon.

Iron-shelled pupa.

Kakuna is a pale yellow, pupa-shaped Pokémon with a round head and black triangular eyes. It has sickle-shaped arms in the middle of its body.

Although in the game, the Metal Cocoon only has one defensive skill, 'Harden,' and seems to have no offensive capabilities.

But in fact it is not the case.

Despite being a pupa, it can still move its body slightly, and if an enemy attacks, it will extend its poisonous needles to attack.

"Xiao Huang?"

Xiao Mei looked at the big, yellow creature in front of her with some uncertainty.

"Yes, that's Little Yellow."

Compared to Xiao Mei, Wu Ge was far more shocked.

Because a typical iron-shelled pupa is only 0.6m tall, but Little Yellow was already 0.5m tall when it was still a unicorn worm.

The evolved Little Yellow is a full meter tall!

This isn't an iron-shelled pupa; it's clearly a giant cone!

What kind of forest is this?

Wu Ge turned his head somewhat blankly to look at the boundless forest.
