Pokémon: The Sims

The bedroom window was now shattered into pieces scattered on the floor, along with a purple Pokémon sticking out its tongue.

"Scorpio?!"

Wu Ge glared at Scorpio, who was rubbing his head as he stood up on the ground.

This scorpion is quite large.

It is 2 meters long, almost twice the size of the character in the encyclopedia, so its level must be quite high.

But in reality, Scorpios aren't that tall when they stand on the ground. Their two-meter length probably includes at least one meter of their tail. If you don't count the tail, a Scorpio is probably only about 1.3 meters tall.

Even so, Wu Ge still felt a considerable sense of incongruity about this size of Scorpio.

Because in his memory, Scorpio was clearly tiny, not even half the height of Ash when standing on the ground.

"Oh?!"

Scorpio was startled when he saw the enormous Wu Ge after getting up, and then quickly put his pincers together.

He is apologizing.

Scorpio thought he had trespassed into Wu Ge's territory and was afraid of being eaten by Wu Ge.

After all, Wu Ge was just too big, and he felt that if he didn't apologize properly, he would be in big trouble.

"."

Wu Ge lowered his head and stared silently at Scorpio without saying a word.

Scorpio's forehead was breaking out in a cold sweat, and he dared not make any rash moves.

In fact, Wu Ge was considering whether or not to help Liz tame the scorpion.

Scorpius is a Pokémon that is numerous but uncommon.

Scorpion populations can be found in all regions except Kanto, Hoenn, and Galar.

However, Scorpios generally live on cliffs near the clouds, places that are difficult for ordinary people to reach.

Therefore, seeing and catching a Scorpion is not an easy thing.

Moreover, Scorpion's evolved form, Scorpion King, is quite powerful.

The strength of the Scorpion King lies not only in its base stat total of 510.

More importantly, it combines Ground and Flying attributes, a unique combination among non-Legendary Pokémon.

It has 18 attributes, is immune to damage from the popular ground and electric attributes, and is only twice as weak as water and four times as weak as ice. Other than that, it has no weaknesses.

Four times weaker ice, a symbol of strength.

'But where am I supposed to find sharp fangs?'

Wu Ge hesitated because of the conditions for Scorpio to evolve into Scorpio King.

You need the item 'Sharp Fang'.

But where can you find sharp teeth in reality?

"You have to pay."

After thinking for a while, Wu Ge decided to keep Scorpio for now.

Even if it doesn't evolve into Scorpion King, Scorpion's attribute advantages are still there, it's just that its strength will be a bit lower.

And there's plenty of time; we can go back and search the palace warehouses, and maybe we'll find the 'Sharp Fang'.

The army of the Dragon Kingdom goes to explore the Silver Mountains every day and often brings back strange things, but Wu Ge had never seen them before.

"Lai oh!"

Scorpio paused for a moment, then nodded vigorously.

"Ah Lan~?"

Liz's voice came from inside the blankets.

This series of noises woke her up.

The little dragon was sleeping like a log, showing no signs of waking up. In fact, the flames on its tail burned even brighter, probably because it was having an exciting dream.

"I want you to become her underling, so you'd better behave yourself from now on."

Wu Ge gestured to Scorpio, who was sitting up beside him, rubbing her eyes in a daze.

"Lai oh? Lai oh (Her? No way! I, a Scorpio, am proud and unyielding; I will never submit to anyone!)"

Scorpio glanced at Liz, frowned, seemingly disgusted by her weakness, and then shook his head resolutely in refusal.

"."

Wu Ge remained silent.

He hadn't expected that this scorpion wouldn't be as easily fooled as the little fire dragon; it seemed it had been alive for quite some time.

Gululu.

Suddenly, Scorpio's stomach made a churning sound.

"She can give you delicious food and a warm nest."

To put it simply, it includes meals and accommodation.

"I was born to be her lackey!"

Scorpio's eyes lit up, and he immediately knelt on one knee to pledge his loyalty to Liz.

"Well?"

Liz opened her eyes and looked at the scene before her, tilting her head in a daze.

"."

Wu Ge stared blankly at Scorpio, wondering which human he had learned this gesture from.

Since arriving in this world, this was the first time he had ever seen such a 'human-like' Pokémon.

However, he had to retract his earlier opinion of the scorpion.

This Scorpio isn't hard to fool, it's just that Wu Ge didn't quite get it right.

Call ~

The biting sea breeze blew in through the window, making Liz shiver involuntarily.

"Ah Lan, it's cold."

Liz muttered something, then snuggled back into bed and hugged the warm little dragon tightly.

As for Scorpio, it seems that Liz has already filtered it out.

"You come with me."

Wu Ge looked up at the window.

On winter nights, the clouds are thick, obscuring the light of many stars.

Wu Ge could roughly guess that the scorpion had been affected by the strong winds, lost control of its flight path, and glided into the area.

Although Scorpios possess the ability to fly.

But in reality, they don't actually 'fly'; they just glide.

The advantage of gliding is that it is silent, because you don't need to flap your wings; you only need to spread your arms to adjust your direction, so you don't make any noise.

However, the downside is that it is easily affected by the wind during gliding.

The skilled and powerful Scorpio King is fearless in the face of strong winds, and can even turn adversity into advantage in an instant.

However, inexperienced Scorpios may be blown off course by the wind during gliding.

"Lai oh!"

Scorpio nodded.

Wu Ge turned around and used his tail to wrap Liz and the little dragon, along with the blanket, and put them in the next room.

Then he took Scorpio to the kitchen.

As someone who also raises Pokémon, Grandma Babi naturally keeps food for Pokémon at home.

Those were fragrant flowers and fruits, probably what ladybugs like to eat.

But Wu Ge didn't like it and gave it to Scorpio.

"Lai-oh lai-oh~"

The Scorpio picked it up and started gnawing on it, which suggests he hasn't eaten anything good before.

After eating and drinking to their hearts' content, Wu Ge took Scorpio back to the bedroom to sleep, deciding to deal with the rest tomorrow.

The next day.

Liz went to the hall to find Grandma Ba.

"This is?"

Grandma Ba stared blankly at the scorpion next to Liz's left leg.

Then I looked at the little fire dragon next to my right leg.

If the two Pokémon hadn't appeared together, she would have thought it was a mutated Charmander.

"This is a little scorpion."

Liz said without changing her expression.

Speaking of which, her state of mind has changed quite a bit these days.

It's not surprising that a strange magical beast might suddenly appear next to you.

When Liz woke up in the morning and saw a purple magical beast in her bedroom, she wasn't scared at all.

She vaguely remembered that Wu Ge seemed to be talking to this newly appeared monster last night.

Since Wu Ge left this new magical beast by her side, she naturally understood his meaning.

This feels good.

Liz genuinely believed this.

Because of these children by her side, she has completely forgotten the feeling of loneliness.

Even winter mornings seem to have become scorching hot.

It's a bit pungent?

“Liz…”

Grandma Ba, with her head bowed, suddenly called out.

"Ok?"

"Your skirt is on fire."

"? Xiao Yan!!!"

Yesterday, a reader suddenly labeled me a "cloud gamer" because he said that Bug-type Pokémon can only live for a few years or a decade, and that my claim that Champion Bug-type Pokémon might live for one or two hundred years is nonsense.

I don't think I'm a hardcore gamer; I watch a lot of anime and short films, and I don't play Pokémon ranked matches at all. But at least I'll go through the game's storyline once.

In the version I played, I don't recall any NPC saying that Bug-type Pokémon can only live for a few years or a decade.

Moreover, there are many examples in the anime and manga that prove that the lifespan of Bug-type Pokémon is far more than a few years or a dozen years.

It's unknown how long Alder, the former Unova champion, Agile Bug, and Knight Snail lived, but Volcarona, as his ace, stayed with him until around fifty years old, eventually dying from exhaustion due to overexertion. His lifespan was at least thirty or forty years.

Aryu, the Sinnoh Bug King, lost his first Pokémon, Wurmple, when he was ten years old. Eight years later, they met again, and Wurmple was still lively and energetic. Aryu used Wurmple as his main force to challenge Cynthia's Gastrodon.

Finally, the most famous special episode, Giovanni's Beedrill, was Giovanni's first Pokémon and stayed with him until he was in his forties or fifties, which is at least another thirty or forty years of his lifespan.

You're not the first reader to say I don't understand games. I do know a lot about the combat knowledge that other readers have mentioned, so I won't argue with them, and I don't write much about combat content.

However, your reason for stripping me of my player status by saying that "Bug-type Pokémon can only live for a few years or a decade" is not very convincing.
