Pokémon: The Sims

So when Sakaki Shiro rose up in rebellion, countless people immediately responded to the call and followed in his footsteps.

The first thing Sakaki Haku did after taking power was to publicly kill all the members of the Silver Clan.

This move not only won over many people's hearts, but also demonstrated his methods and style, inspiring awe in many.

Under Sakaki Shiro's rule.

Although it was still a slave system, Sakaki Shiro learned from the experience of the Silver family and changed some specific regulations, so the situation in the kingdom improved a lot.

At least, at least humans can live a decent life.

Most importantly, compared to the Silver family, Sakaki Haku appears much more benevolent.

And no one except Sakaki Shiro himself enjoyed any privileges.

The only way to get special privileges is to perform meritorious service.

This applies equally to everyone in the Kingdom of Earth.

The Kingdom of Earth, its capital.

It's another early morning.

"Buzz~"

Sakaki Shiro opened his eyes to the sound of his monster companion's voice.

Good morning, Beedrill.

After opening his eyes, Sakaki Shiro first drank a glass of water, then rubbed the head of the Pokémon next to him.

Sakaki Shiro's Pokémon is a Beedrill, and he named it 'Beedrill'.

In this world, Sakaki Shiro doesn't trust any living creature except himself and his partner Beedrill.

This can be seen from the fact that Sakaki Shiro let Beedrill sleep in the same room as him.

When he was a teenager, his mother was seriously ill, but his family was too poor to afford doctors or medicine.

Having no other choice, he had to go to the Silver Mountain alone to find treasures to exchange for money or to find usable herbs.

Just as Sakaki Shiro discovered a rare herb and was about to pick it, he was attacked by a Rattata.

He trespassed into the little rattata's territory.

His calf was bitten by the little Radamanthys, and he was unable to escape, so he could only sit there slumped.

Just when Sakaki Shiro thought he was going to die, a fat unicorn beetle appeared and stood stalemate with Rattata. In the end, the two were wary of each other and did not fight.

At the time, Sakaki Shiro did not realize that he had escaped death.

It felt like escaping one wolf's den only to fall into another.

But the unicorn's target wasn't Sakaki Shiro at all; it was the herbs that Sakaki Shiro had picked from the bamboo basket behind him.

Many of these herbs contain some toxicity, which would be a delicious treat for unicorn beetles.

The clever Sakagi Shiro spotted the unicorn worm's target and quickly emptied all the herbs from the bamboo basket, leaving only a few that could alleviate his mother's pain.

It was this action that unexpectedly won over Sakaki Shiro's heart.

Young Sakaki Shiro was also an ambitious and ruthless man. Seeing that the Unicorn Beetle had no intention of attacking him, he made a decision to secretly cultivate the Unicorn Beetle.

That was about nineteen years ago.

Before the people of the Silfo tribe had even begun to emulate the Dragon Tamer tribe's ability to control magical beasts, Sakamoto Shiro had already secretly begun cultivating magical beasts.

This move would have been incredibly bold for humans during the Warcraft era.

In terms of boldness, it is probably second only to Liz's decision to lead a group deep into the Silver Mine to search for the Beedrill clan.

Ever since.

Sakaki Shiro quietly cultivated the Weedle for fourteen years, and then ascended to the throne with the help of Beedrill.

The palace guards and beast tamers were no match for the Beedrill; they couldn't even last ten seconds.

Five years have now passed.

Only Sakaki Shiro himself knows just how powerful his Beedrill is.

After a quick wash, Sakaki Shiro, sporting a slicked-back hairstyle, made his way to his office.

The first thing you see is a document that says, "The resource gathering team recently had a conflict with people from the Dragon Kingdom near Silver Mountain."

"Humph."

Sakaki Shiro gave a soft hum, the corners of his mouth turning upwards.

This was no accidental encounter.

Several years ago, he had already learned about the situation in the Dragon Kingdom from the remnants of the Silver Clan.

They also knew that the Silver Clan had been engaged in a protracted tug-of-war with the Dragon Clan over Silver Mountain for decades.

Ever since he wiped out the Silver family.

The war then turned into a tug-of-war between the Earth Kingdom and the Dragon Kingdom.

Neither kingdom could do without the mineral and herbal resources of the Silver Mountains.

These things involve not only military force but also healthcare. Any country that wants to prosper will inevitably vie for this pristine natural goldmine right on its doorstep.

But Sakaki Shiro and Liz are different.

Liz only wants the Silver Mountain.

She initially had no intention of conquering the kingdoms of the earth, because she did not want to start a war.

What Sakaki Shiro wanted was the entire land; Mount Shirogane was just a tiny piece of his grand plan.

He didn't care at all about the people and monsters who might die because of this war.

After sitting for a while, Sakaki summoned his men.

"Boss Sakaki."

The newcomer was a burly man who was at least 2.3 meters tall.

His physique was so robust that he resembled a standing water buffalo.

This person is named Ares. He was one of the first to follow Sakaki Shiro and is also one of the four generals of the Earth Kingdom.

Back when Sakaki Shiro hadn't yet become king, Ares always called him "boss," so he still does.

Sakaki Shiro did not correct this.

He felt that this title could bring him closer to the four generals and help him win over the people.

"Hmm, how strong is your iron block now?"

Sakaki Shiro looked up and asked with concern.

He remembered that Ares' new Pokémon form resembled a standing rhinoceros, with skin as hard as if it were wearing an iron frame.

That posture clearly indicated immense power.

But Sakaki Shiro still trusted his Beedrill's double needles more.

"Very energetic, much stronger than before."

Ares nodded with a hint of smugness.

His Pokémon was originally a rhinoceros, which he bred for a very long time.

Ares is a very proud man.

Others choose to start by raising small monsters, as it feels safer that way.

But Ares was different. He saw those small magical beasts as nothing more than rats and disliked them, so he never raised any magical beasts.

This caused Sakaki Shiro some headaches about being a general.

After all, his subordinates certainly wouldn't want to be ordered around by an ordinary person, but he didn't quite trust the others.

Fortunately, one night five or six years ago...

An injured rhinoceros with horned horns wandered into the territory of the Earth Kingdom and ran into Ares, who was leading a patrol at the time.

Ares was also a tough guy; he single-handedly used his own body to take down the horned rhinoceros.

Ares was very fond of the horned rhinoceros's powerful strength and thick skin.

He was convinced that this was the powerful magical beast he had been searching for all along, so he helped it recover, fed it personally, and told it about his great ambitions in the dead of night.

Finally, by appealing to his emotions and reasoning with him, they managed to subdue this seemingly dull-witted rhinoceros.

Ares also had high hopes for it, naming it 'Iron Block'.

In Ares's view, there was nothing harder than iron.

Ares originally thought his rhinoceros was at its final stage, but who knew it could evolve further? This was a pleasant surprise for Ares.

Chapter 36 Evolution! Double Happiness!

"Boss Sakaki, should I lead the troops to conquer the Dragon Kingdom in one fell swoop?"

Ares stared intently at Sakaki, his eyes burning with fighting spirit, like a war maniac.

"Don't underestimate the Dragon Kingdom. Besides, let's take care of things here first."

Sakaki casually shook his head.

The Kingdom of Dragon Tamer began controlling magical beasts earlier than the Kingdom of Silver.

Moreover, the Earth Kingdom suffered enormous losses in the internal strife five years ago, and some remnants of the former dynasty still remain hidden among the people. Sakaki Shiro is still searching for these people.

He didn't want a bunch of traitors to stab him in the back or leak intelligence to the Dragon Kingdom when a major war broke out.

In terms of military strength, the Earth Kingdom is definitely not as strong as the Dragon Kingdom.

All he could be certain of was that his strength was definitely greater than that of the queen of the Dragon Kingdom.

After all, he had heard that the queen had only started training her own Pokémon a little over a month ago.

"Humph."

Thinking about this, Sakaki Shiro couldn't help but laugh.

She started breeding Pokémon almost twenty years later than me, so how could she compete with me?

Sakaki Shiro even dared to make a bold statement, saying that even if Liz were given another five years, he would still be able to crush her.

This is the confidence of the King of the Earth!

"Okay, what about the Silver Mountain area?"

"Send more troops in to maintain friction with the Dragon Kingdom, but don't let a real major conflict break out."

"Yes."

"Go down."

Watching Ares leave, Sakaki got up and went to the window.

The sky outside the window was a hazy gray, with specks of white light falling from the dark clouds.

"Beedrill, it's snowing."

. . .

Dragon Kingdom, Warcraft Academy.

Today seems to be just another ordinary day.

But only Wu Ge knew that this day was extraordinary.

A month has passed since Liz decided to annex the Earth Kingdom.

During this month, his leveling speed suddenly dropped, and his progress became extremely slow.

Especially after reaching Lv.30, he has already experienced at least thirty or forty battles, but still hasn't leveled up.

It's as if he's hit a 'bottleneck' period.

Wu Ge was unaware of the reason for the sudden drop in upgrade speed.
