Pokémon: The Sims

"Go take a hot shower, the water's already prepared for you. Where's the others?"

Grandma Ba turned around and led Liz and the others into the villa.

As soon as I entered, a huge ladybug flew over.

"They're still on their way, but Ah Lan couldn't wait and brought me here first."

Liz wasn't surprised to see the bug.

She had seen him many times; she remembered the first time was fifteen years ago.

At that time, the Kingdom of Dragon Tamers had not yet been established, and Liz, who was only thirteen years old, was still leading her beast tamer army to conquer and annex other tribes.

It is because of the efforts made back then that we have peace in the Johto region today.

Because of her past experience, Liz understood that if she wanted to achieve a longer period of peace, only one of the Dragon Kingdom and the Earth Kingdom could remain.

The only difference is that Liz was the one who actively annexed the land back then, but now she is the one who is passively responding to the attack.

"Ladybugs are this big?"

Wu Ge was startled when he saw the insect.

Although ladybugs are insects, they appear very small according to the illustrated guide.

But in reality, ladybugs in the League era had an average length of 1 meter.

At this moment, the ladybug clinging to Grandma Ba's leg in front of Wu Ge was even more exaggerated.

She is 2.5 meters long, and when she lies on the ground, she is taller than Charmander.

"Fire!"

The little dragon wasn't too afraid.

This kid is rather carefree and doesn't seem to have any wariness towards other Pokémon.

This can be seen from the way Little Fire Dragon behaved when he first met Wu Ge and the others.

He won't be afraid unless a large number of Pokémon or humans gather together and stare at him at the same time.

Chapter 56 Liz's Purpose

"I met this child when I first came to Jihua Town to take up my post. There are many such magical beasts in Jihua Town."

Seeing that Wu Ge and Little Fire Dragon seemed curious about the ladybug, Grandma Ba began to explain.

'Hmm, that makes sense. The fragrance of flowers in Jihua Town is strong, and its location in the south makes it easy to attract ladybugs.'

Wu Ge nodded.

It looks like he'll see a lot of ladybugs in this town.

However, he had no interest in ladybugs and had no intention of catching them to raise.

This is not to say that ladybugs have no value in being bred.

Every Pokémon in this world has its value, and any type of Pokémon can be trained to be incredibly powerful.

Giovanni's Beedrill and Liu Bo's Messenger Bird are both well-known in the industry.

Many people may not remember it.

However, both Dr. Oki and Sakaki have bred and used ladybugs.

Yes, it's a ladybug, not the evolved ladybug.

Therefore, Wu Ge's decision not to train Ladybug was not because the Pokémon was not worth training; he believed that his judgment was far inferior to that of Professor Oak and Giovanni.

He just wasn't confident he could train Liz to raise Ladybug to the same level as Oak and Giovanni's Pokémon.

Wu Ge, who had never trained Pokémon before and had to mentor Liz, a new trainer, dared not follow the example of those veterans and act recklessly.

He will still prioritize Pokémon with higher base stats and greater innate potential.

"Liz, what brings you here today?"

"You should be aware of the current situation in the Dragon Kingdom and the Earth Kingdom, right?"

"Ah."

Grandma Ba nodded seriously.

She wasn't an ordinary old woman either; she had gone through many life-and-death situations with Liz's grandmother, so she wouldn't be afraid of anything related to war.

"The Earth Kingdom doesn't want to start a war for the time being, and is only maintaining friction with our country. I can guess the reason, and that suits me just fine. The military is implementing a new monster training program, but it will take some time to get it off the ground."

"So, how can Jihua Town help?"

Grandma Ba frowned.

She felt that given the size and scale of Jihua Town, it seemed unlikely to be able to provide Liz with any assistance on the front lines.

There is only one possibility.

We may need to use sea routes.

“There are many voices of dissatisfaction with the new king in the Kingdom of Earth. The King of Earth delayed the war because he had to deal with these people. I want the internal strife in the Kingdom of Earth to continue for a longer time and to become more intense.”

"Ideally, I would let them fall into internal strife and deplete their national strength. Then I would take the initiative to attack and annex the Earth Kingdom in one fell swoop."

"I want to send someone to infiltrate the Earth Kingdom to secretly provide some support to those who are causing internal strife and to cooperate with them on some grounds."

"However, the land route is difficult to travel. The Earth Kingdom's sentry posts are very well-prepared, but they don't guard the sea route much. They probably think we are like them, still unfamiliar with the sea. I plan to send people by water."

"And if a future war breaks out, I hope there is a route that allows me to send a group of beast tamers to go around by sea, to ambush them along their route and behind them, to cut off their supplies and surround and kill their army in the valleys of the Silver Mountains."

Liz calmly told Grandma Ba about her plan.

Grandma Ba listened attentively with a calm expression, occasionally offering her opinions and views, seemingly unsurprised by Liz's demeanor.

On the contrary, Wu Ge was quite moved.

He had never known what Liz did all day long in the study.

The main reason is that he cannot understand the words written by humans in this world.

Now I understand, Liz wasn't just busy doing nothing; she had made a lot of preparations during this time.

"Little Charmander, let's work hard to become stronger too."

"Got it, bro!"

Charmander didn't understand why he had to work hard to become stronger, but he had to listen to what his older brother said.

Only by obeying can he fly.

He didn't know what Liz and Grandma Ba discussed after that.

Because the two of them went into the bathhouse together.

Wu Ge was already familiar with Liz's body; when he was still a mini dragon, he always bathed with Liz.

Moreover, he didn't want to see Granny Ba's body, so he took Charmander to get acquainted with the new environment.

Time flew by and it was noon.

Liz had been discussing the plan with Grandma Ba, and it seemed complicated with many uncertainties to discuss.

Wu Ge and Little Fire Dragon waited idly for the army to arrive.

He felt slightly embarrassed when he saw the pitiful and aggrieved expressions on the two Magikarp.

"Don't be sad, I'll take you to the ocean to level up this afternoon."

Wu Ge flapped the two feathers beside his head, somewhat embarrassed.

The two Magikarp were barely noticeable, just like ordinary koi.

If Magikarp evolves into Gyarados, Wu Ge certainly won't ignore their existence.

"Fire!"

When Little Fire Dragon saw his two friends, he waved and greeted them.

"Gurgle gurgle~" x2

The two Magikarp immediately felt much better.

One reason is that they were distracted by new friends.

Of course, the most important reason was that they heard the word 'ocean'.

Before Wu Ge brought them home, they had always lived as country fish in a small lake in Baiyin Mountain.

They had never even heard the word 'ocean' before.

But today, although their minds were still blank after hearing the word, their hearts were filled with excitement and anticipation.

The very genes deep within me stirred with the word.

It felt like they were born to go there.

"Looking forward to it, haha, I'm also looking forward to your new look."

Wu Ge grinned as he looked at the two Magikarp.

Magikarp is different from him.

The Magikarp are already quite high level, at least level 15 or higher.

Their experience bars aren't as exaggerated as Wu Ge's are now, and they can evolve as soon as they reach around Lv.20.

Therefore, it won't take long to level up Magikarp to a level where it can evolve.

"Fire? (What about me, bro?)"

Charmander gestured to himself.

"When Liz has time, she'll take you to hunt ladybugs. She should understand now that she needs to train you. When you're not busy, just stay by Liz's side and protect her."

Wu Ge can't do two things at once.

Moreover, he himself needs to upgrade; this is the most important thing, bar none.

He would only help Liz train these Pokémon if it wouldn't interfere with his own training plan.

"I understand!"

Charmander nodded vigorously, then turned around and wiggled his little bottom to find Liz.

"Liz must be really confused."

Wu Ge couldn't help but smile as he watched the little fire dragon leave.

Liz will definitely be very curious about why Charmander is following her.

Because Liz had never bred a Pokémon before, her first Pokémon was this very unique guy.

Therefore, Liz wouldn't understand that it's normal for Pokémon to stay with their trainers.

It's a freak who stays away from his trainer every day like him.

we can even say.

His current state doesn't make him Liz's Pokémon at all.

His relationship with Liz was more like that of family and friends.

Liz, Charmander, and Magikarp are the trainers and her Pokémon.

Chapter 57 Two Gyarados Little Brothers!

The nearshore waters of Jihua Town are relatively shallow.

The distance between the sea level and the seabed is only a few tens of meters.

When Wu Ge took the two Magikarp into the sea, he could see many giant crabs and giant tongue shells strolling on the sand at the bottom of the sea.

Generally speaking, large-clawed crabs don't stay in this kind of location.
