Pokémon: The Sims

Page 430

The little yew tree smiled contentedly and patted Cynthia's shoulders with both hands.

She is just like her father.

Although their research topics are 'the origin of Pokémon' and 'the distribution and ecology of Pokémon', the father and daughter were both backpackers who were very interested in archaeology in the past.

Backpackers are like trainers in the Pokémon world, running around with a big backpack.

Both father and daughter were once people who traveled around carrying bags to do archaeological digs.

That's why.

That's how Cynthia got to know the little yew.

The old yew tree became acquainted with the mother and daughter plants, mustard and lavender.

They are all archaeology enthusiasts.

Wu Ge immediately became interested upon hearing this.

As local archaeologists from Unova and Pokémon professors, this father and daughter must know something about the Earth Kingdom from over a thousand years ago, right?

At the very least, could we find them some relevant books to read?

“Yes! I went to the Cloud Gallery with Riolu before, and now I’m particularly interested in the mythology of the Unova region, especially the Earth Kingdom a thousand years ago.”

Cynthia and Wu Ge are kind of on the same wavelength.

"Okay then, I'll go update your encyclopedia. You go to the library with Yew, there's a section about the Earth Kingdom there."

The old yew tree spoke first.

Cynthia nodded quickly.

We arrived at the library.

Wu Ge was the first to rush to the table, sit down obediently, and wait for Cynthia and Little Red Bean to tell that history.

"Riolu seems to be very interested in history. I'm so envious of you! You've found a Pokémon that shares your interests. My Pokémon always get sleepy when they see these things."

The little yew tree reached out and patted Wu Ge's head, saying enviously.

"Let me tell you a secret: Riolu is not only willing to study history with me, but he can also talk."

"Eh?"

"Leolu was able to use waveguides to speak two years ago."

Cynthia hugged Wu Ge tightly, looking quite proud.

Yew turns its head to look at Wu Ge.

The latter understood.

"Sister Yew, I want to know about the Earth Kingdom."

Wu Ge used the waveguide opening to emit the boy's voice.

His voice hasn't changed in a long time.

This should be the limit of Riolu's voice; the next voice change will probably have to wait until it evolves into Lucario.

As for whether he, an old monster who has lived for over a hundred years, would be ashamed to call a young man who is not even a fraction of his age "sister"?

Of course not!

Lived so long.

Isn't it normal to have a thick skin like a city wall?

What's more.

Wu Ge started practicing his cuteness skills during the Hakron era and reached the pinnacle during the Bogarman era!

Even Xunlan, the near-champion, had to admit defeat to his adorable charm.

Such an amazing skill, why not make good use of it?

Are we just going to sit idly by and watch it fall into ruin?

"Hey~ it actually spoke."

The yew tree opened its mouth, but quickly realized what was happening.

She pulled a yellowed notebook from the bookshelf.

The book is quite thin, probably only about ten pages long, and doesn't contain much information.

The yew tree spread its leaves out in front of Wu Ge and Cynthia.

The history of the Kingdom of Earth thus unfolds before them.

Around 13 centuries ago, a tribe called the "Earthlings" rose to power in the northwestern part of Unova. Their chieftain, relying on the power of the Kyurem, was the first to unify the western continent of Unova, establishing the Kingdom of Earth and propelling the region from the tribal era into the kingdom era.

Kyurem

Cynthia frowned when she saw the name.

"Kyurem, the legendary Pokémon known as the 'Strongest Dragon,' can even wield the power of Zekrom and Reshiram!"

Here's a brief introduction to the yew tree.

"What?! It can use the power of two other legendary Pokémon? That's definitely the strongest dragon."

Cynthia's eyes immediately lit up with a golden light, filled with a thirst for knowledge.

Wu Ge felt a chill run down his spine when he saw that look.

Will he follow Cynthia to try and get Kyurem again?

Yes.

Kyurem's title of "Strongest Dragon" is somewhat exaggerated.

After all, the three anti-time gods, Rayquaza, Zygarde, and Eternatus haven't spoken yet.

But that doesn't mean Kyurem is a noob.

Everyone knows what's going on with the Pokémon anime and movies.

Then naturally, it's about who the protagonist is and who is the 'strongest'.

During the Kanto era, Mewtwo was said to be the strongest.

During the Hoenn period, Rayquaza was said to be the strongest.

During the Sinnoh period, Arceus was said to be the strongest.

In the Unova era, Kyurem was naturally considered the strongest.

Although this 'strongest' title is held in rotation.

But since it can be ranked on Him, then at least Kyurem is the undisputed 'leader' of the Unova.

Moreover, even if we include all the legendary Pokémon...

Kyurem must be on par with Rayquaza, a whole tier stronger than the bottom-tier legendary Pokémon like Cygnus, Hoenn, and Silver Bird.

He activated the Black and White Dragon forms.

Kyurem's strength needs to be raised even higher; surpassing Rayquaza and standing shoulder to shoulder with the original two idiots wouldn't be a problem.

Rayquaza's ability to compete for the title of "strongest dragon" relies entirely on its Mega Evolution.

A regular Rayquaza is indeed no match for a black and white Kyurem.

That kind of role.

Let alone Wu Ge's current level.

Even the third Kyurem himself doesn't really want to fight Kyurem unless he has Mega form and the Overlord's Mark always on him, then he wouldn't dare to touch it.

Only someone at the level of a master like the fourth incarnation would dare to provoke Kyurem.

Otherwise, going now would be suicide.

It’s over.

He wants to retract his earlier statement that Cynthia is more composed than Cora.

Lorelei isn't that interested in legendary Pokémon; she's more interested in the Water-type ones.

But Cynthia is different.

Wu Ge is still unsure how many legendary Pokémon he will encounter alongside Cynthia in the future.

He just hoped that those mythical beasts would stay out and run around aimlessly, and that it would be best if they could just hide away and sleep soundly.

Chapter 328 has two key points: him and Victini.

At the dawn of the nation's founding, the people of the land discovered a 'dragon vein'! This dragon vein is crucial to the ecology and survival of the entire Unova region.

To protect and conceal the dragon vein, the first Earth King used the power of the divine dragon to erect protective boundary markers and the Sword of the Earth, using them to suppress the strange phenomena of the dragon vein.

[But after the guardian boundary markers and the Sword of the Earth were established, the dragon went north and never returned. The first Earth King said that He had gone to rest.]

[In the two centuries that followed, the people of the land secretly used the power of the dragon veins to transform the desert in the northwest into fertile land suitable for human habitation, and even improved the relationship between humans, Pokémon, and nature.]

In the third century, the king of the contemporary land kingdom gave birth to twin princes.

However, as time went by, the two princes matured under their teacher's guidance. Yet, they developed strong disagreements about the kingdom's future, and their conflicts intensified. They received help and support from the 'Ideal Dragon' Zekrom and the 'True Dragon' Reshiram, respectively. Their support strengthened the princes' resolve to believe that the right path lay ahead.

In the same year, the king of the Earth Kingdom fell seriously ill and was on the verge of death. He entrusted his trusted "teacher," Riolu, with an important task before passing away.

'This is it.'

Wu Ge's eyes suddenly lit up.

He hadn't noticed anything wrong with the places before, until this point.

He remembered that in the original story, the father of the two princes clearly used the enhanced power of Victini to manipulate the Earth Sword and guard the boundary marker in order to suppress the dragon vein, make up for his mistakes, and save the Unova. In the end, he lost his life because his power was exhausted.

This is completely different from what is recorded in this book!

The story continues.

The conflict between the two princes, stemming from their differing ideologies, escalated, ultimately splitting the kingdom in two and igniting a war that would engulf the entire Unova region on the western continent.

The Kingdom of Earth crumbled, and the land was devastated, but the final war ended in victory for the eldest prince and Zekrom.

After this battle, Zekrom and Reshiram, having exhausted too much of their life force, voluntarily fell into a deep sleep, while the eldest prince, following the guidance of his 'teacher' Riolu, began to repair the devastated land.

The story ends here.

But what happened to the Kingdom of Earth in the end is not recorded.

The person who wrote this book probably didn't even live to see that time.

It seems.

Under the rule of the eldest prince, the Kingdom of Earth should have developed quite well, and its reign lasted for at least a while longer.

The subsequent part of history differs significantly from what Wu Ge knew.

One.

The black and white dragons did not fall into a slumber passively due to mutual destruction in the war.

two.

The battle was not a draw; it clearly ended in victory for the eldest prince and Zekrom.

three.

The Kingdom of Earth did not perish in that war between 'ideals and reality', but continued to exist.
