Pokémon: The Sims

The implementation of the dojo competition system has indeed caused many adult trainers to fall silent, with most trainers being a group of people aged 10-20 who have more free time.

but.

Some trainers who want to participate in the League Gym Leader Selection Tournament are still persisting in participating in regional tournaments, clearly aiming for the tournament championship.

Overall.

The difficulty of the competition has decreased significantly, but it has not yet become a baby cup in the short term.

At least the difficulty of the knockout stage hasn't decreased much.

Among the trainers who made it to the knockout stage, there were quite a few powerful trainers at the gym level.

Kona faces virtually no pressure advancing to the knockout stage.

Preliminary rounds and group stage.

All of them were played by Slowbro, Dewpriest, and Froslass, and even their order of appearance was not changed.

Their levels are Lv.38, Lv.42, and Lv.46 respectively.

Nowadays, for competitions of this caliber, passing the preliminary rounds is a piece of cake.

Their winning percentage in the group stage is also around 60-70%.

On occasional occasions, if Lapras and Clamshell take the initiative to join in, she will let them have a go and secure a point.

As for Wu Ge.

He's too lazy to play; he'll take the opportunity to slack off.

This greatly disappointed many viewers who had been hoping to see this Piplup make its move again after three years.

Thanks to the efforts of the other five companions.

Wu Ge practically coasted into the elimination rounds.

That night.

The knockout stage matchups have been announced.

Kona also carried Wu Ge to watch the show immediately.

"Hehe~ We don't have any strong opponents here."

Kona immediately hugged Wu Ge and spun him around in circles, cheering.

"really."

Wu Ge glanced at it and nodded.

Along the way, he has also taken note of the noteworthy opponents.

In particular, there were four or five people who would become dojo masters and kings in other regions in the future. Although there were not as many as in the previous Kanto Tournament, there were still some.

Now all four or five of them have been assigned to the other half.

This also means.

Kona will only encounter one of them at most, and that encounter will only happen in the finals.

As for the half they are currently on.

Elite trainers do exist.

But Wu Ge felt that the problems weren't too big and that winning wouldn't be too difficult.

Of the six Pokémon in Lorelei's team, only he is level 60, reaching the Gym level.

The remaining Lapras and Cloyster are both above Lv.50, making them strong contenders in the elimination rounds.

With her 'ice + ghost' attributes, the Snow Fairy can also play a significant role.

Only the Slowpoke and the White Sea Lion are a bit of a drag.

But that's not a problem.

Deal with the trainers on this side.

Wu Ge felt that he could take on two or even three opponents at once.

Who do you think Kona will ultimately face off against?

Lucario looked at Wu Ge.

'It's either that bald old man or that burly, dark-skinned man.'

Wu Ge glanced at the two people present.

He gestured to Lucario.

'Why?'

Lucario frowned in confusion.

He's seen it all along.

He felt that the two players' performances in the previous few games were not outstanding, and they even lost several games.

'They are very strong. In the previous matches, they only used Pokémon they don't usually train to practice; those weren't their main Pokémon.'

Wu Ge shook his head.

He couldn't tell Lucario the specific reason either.

The two people he was referring to were Master Fu and Hara.

The former is the future Gym Leader of the Kalos region's Twin-Tailed City, a trainer specializing in Grass-type Pokémon.

Grandpa Fu is a kind-looking old man who loves all kinds of flowers, plants and trees. He should be over sixty years old now.

The latter is the island king of Melemele Island in the Alola region and one of the future Alola League Elite Four, a trainer specializing in Fighting-type Pokémon.

Hara's strength will be among the top in the future Alola region.

However, he currently appears to be a trainer at the gym level, around forty years old.

Which is stronger?

'have no idea. ’

Wu Ge shook his head.

He hadn't seen these two fight, and it wasn't mentioned in the original work, so how could he possibly know?

However, in terms of their respective regional status, Hara should be more powerful in the future.

However, we cannot judge it so simply.

After all, the Alola League was established nearly two hundred years later than the Kalos League, and the Alola region was not as large as the Kalos region.

The Alola Elite Four versus the old Gym Leader of the Kalos region – only a battle will tell who is stronger.

Which one would you like to face?

"If it were me, it would definitely be that dark-skinned guy. We have absolutely no chance against that old man."

Wu Ge pursed his lips.

to be frank.

Kona would have a hard time beating either of them, and has almost no chance of winning.

This is not only because both of their main players are gym-level, but also because of attribute issues.

Grass overcomes water, and fighting overcomes ice.

Among them, Lapras, Cloyster, and Dewl are all overpowered combinations of "water and ice," making them twice as weak against any opponent.

For Kona...

It would definitely be easier to beat up Master Fu.

Because grass is at least countered by ice.

Against Master Fu, Chenglong and the others' attacks were more effective.

However, the level difference is still there, and reducing the attribute difference is not enough to bridge the gap between them.

Pokémon like Slowbro, Dewpriest, and Froslass are more than 20 levels lower than Fu Ye's Pokémon, and they might not even get a chance to use them, so it doesn't really matter whether they have the type advantage or not.

The Spiny Shell is more than ten levels lower, so only the Lapras will have an easier time.

But the final chance of victory still lies with Wu Ge.

Since you're countered no matter which one you attack.

That's worse than just chatting.

At least Wu Ge is not countered by Fighting-type attacks, and has an extremely high evasion rate against those Fighting-type attacks.

in contrast.

Grass-type moves like vines, various powders, and Giga Drain are quite difficult to dodge, and coupled with type disadvantage, Wu Ge will have a very difficult time fighting Grass-types.

He might be able to carry away three people, or at least two, by talking nonsense.

If Wu Ge carried away three of them.

The remaining three will be handed over to his teammates, so there's still a decent chance of winning.

But beating Master Fu and lifting two people is already the limit.

The remaining four gym-level opponents are definitely not ones that Lapras and her friends can easily mess with.

'so..'

'Just wait and see. We're guaranteed at least a runner-up finish this time, which will be enough for Kobe to gloat over for a while.'

Wu Ge grinned, not really caring.

He had a similar mindset to the last Kanto Tournament, taking it all in stride.

Kona is only 13 years old.

There's plenty of time ahead of us, so there's no rush to win the Sinnoh region championship this time.

Moreover, the runner-up title in the regional competition for 13-year-olds in recent years is still very prestigious.

The value of a runner-up finish in a major competition may decrease significantly in a few years.

The knockout stage has officially begun.

The trainers on Lorelei's side of the group are not very strong, and the average level of the team is basically between Lv.45 and Lv.55.

This is the gap.

Even in the pre-reform Kanto Tournament, a player of this caliber would have had a slim chance of making it into the knockout stage.

However, in the current Sinnoh tournament elimination rounds, at least two-thirds of the trainers are at this level.

During the knockout stage.

Wu Ge also appears on stage very infrequently.

Sometimes, a dragon can take on two or even two and a half opponents at once.

This is the end.

Wu Ge probably played less than five times throughout the entire elimination rounds.

When they get on the field, they're basically just fighting off weakened opponents.

I'm really happy.

Compared to Kona, he was more focused on the other half of the game.

To his regret.

Hara was outmatched and became Fu Ye's defeated opponent.

Kona's opponent in the final has been decided; it's Fauci.

Final day.

Unsurprisingly, Wu Ge was placed last by Kona as her trump card.

The first five Pokémon entered the fray one after another, but in the end, they only managed to defeat two of Fu Ye's Pokémon.
