Pokémon: The Sims

"So lai?!"

Many of the flying scythes stared at their new leader with expressions of disbelief.

"Soulai".

The new leader had made up his mind and, ignoring his companions' advice, turned and left alone.

He felt that the old leader had become so powerful because of the growth he had gained from acting alone in recent days.

Today's defeat left him extremely unwilling to accept it.

So he decided to follow the old leader's example and go out to survive alone, using pressure to push himself to become stronger!

"Soulai."

"Soulai".

"Solai?"

The other flying mantises were suddenly leaderless, standing there bewildered, staring at each other.

Gradually, some of the Scythers who wanted to become stronger left. They felt that what the new leader said made sense, so they all wanted to learn from the old leader and go out to survive on their own.

It might be a bit difficult.

But how can we become stronger without facing difficulties?

As the number of their kind gradually decreased, some of the weaker and more timid flying mantises, who dared not act alone, gathered their companions and formed small groups, scattering in all directions.

Change began with this group of mantises.

Over the next thousand years.

The Scythers that dispersed today will gradually change the Scythers of the entire Johto region and even the world.

But let's leave aside for now what will happen to Scyther in the future.

Just when Wu Ge thought that was all the fun he had for the day, something unexpected happened.

At this moment, Wu Ge and the six flying mantises stood in the cave, looking inside with some confusion.

"No way. What kind of heartless parent would throw their egg on my bed?"

Chapter 74 The Abandoned Egg

Wu Ge lay in a soft nest of grass, with a blue egg curled up in the center of his coiled body.

"This isn't my egg!"

Wu Ge glared angrily at the six flying mantises surrounding him.

Perhaps because the egg's color was similar to his body color and it appeared in Wu Ge's nest, the flying mantises all thought it was Wu Ge's egg.

But Wu Ge is male!

And his XP isn't Pokémon!

Unless it's Gardevoir or Masked Cat.

People who are not familiar with the new Grass-type starter Pokémon may not understand why a mere Masked Cat can challenge Gardevoir.

However, the current reality is that in a popularity poll involving both game fans and anime fans, Masked Cat ranked No. 1, while Gardevoir fell to 10th place.

Admittedly, while the dark horse newcomer, Masked Meow, won this time, she will ultimately be no match for the overlord, Gardevoir.

This is, after all, just a small vote.

If all Chinese fans were to vote, Gardevoir would definitely rank higher than Masked Cat.

However, it cannot be denied that Masked Meowth is also a very charming Pokémon that fits the aesthetic of most Furry fans.

If it were Gardevoir or Masked Meow, Wu Ge might even consider laying an egg or something.

But the problem is, where can we find Gardevoir and Masked Meow in Kanto and Johto?

The Warcraft era was not the future, and transportation between regions was extremely inconvenient.

If the Kanto and Johto regions weren't connected, it would be difficult for the people of the Dragon Kingdom and the Earth Kingdom to even meet.

Not to mention encountering Pokémon from other regions.

"Swoosh sow".

The mantis waved its arm.

Having spent so much time with Wu Ge, he naturally knew that Wu Ge didn't have a spouse.

The egg really did appear suddenly in their cave, within a short time after they left.

Hearing the old leader's words, the other Scythers nodded in understanding.

But the question is, what should be done with this egg?

"You guys pick some fruit around here today. Maybe the child's parents will come back. I'll stay here and keep watch. With more people around, the fruit we collected isn't enough."

Wu Ge glanced at the group of flying mantises.

To be honest, they're all a bit old, but none of them are weak.

The youngest of them has lived for over forty years and has reached a level of around Lv.40.

He's over forty and only level 40, which seems incredibly weak compared to Wu Ge.

After all, Wu Ge is less than a year old in this life, yet he has already reached Lv.44.

But it depends on who you're comparing it to.

From the perspective of wild Pokémon, this is really not bad.

These flying mantises still have some ambition. When they were young, they often fought all the way to the central area before stopping and relying on natural growth to increase their level.

Moreover, in this era of monsters, Pokémon sometimes have to fight for food and territory.

Therefore, the average level of Pokémon surviving in the wild is naturally higher than that of the Pokémon in the League era.

Imagine a peaceful and tranquil era for the alliance in the future.

Pokémon rarely fight for food; they only fight to compete for territory, and even then, they only fight halfway through and stop when they feel they've had enough.

Even if they get really angry, they might be stopped by busybodies around them, like Ash's Bulbasaur and Turtwig.

Or they might be stopped by forest rangers and elderly people living nearby.

In this situation, how can they gain experience through battles?

Therefore, the average level of wild Pokémon will only be lower during the League era.

For example, the Treecko group that Ash encountered when he first arrived in the Hoenn region.

Among that group was a gecko patriarch who had lived for hundreds of years and was still a gecko, his whole body hunched over and his face covered in wrinkles.

It is estimated that it has never experienced a single battle since birth, and has relied entirely on natural growth to increase its level.

This also shows how slow the natural growth process is.

At Wu Ge's current level, it would probably take decades or even centuries to advance a level through natural growth.

Therefore, from the perspective of wild Pokémon, these Scythers are already considered to be of a high level for their age.

Letting this group of guys stay in this cave.

Wu Ge guessed that even if the egg's parents returned, they wouldn't dare to enter the cave.

So he had to get the Scyther and the others away first.

"Soulai".

Scyther nodded and left with the other five of its kind.

Although he wasn't the kind of guy who was born smart, he had lived a long time and his mind was naturally a bit sharper than that of the average Pokémon, so he guessed Wu Ge's true thoughts.

He would take five of his clansmen and wander around the area.

If any fighting breaks out in the cave, he can immediately lead his men back to help.

So all that was left was Wu Ge holding the egg and waiting inside the cave.

The belly of a dragon is very tender.

Wu Ge could feel the warmth of the egg even when he held it close to his chest.

He could even seem to sense something tiny inside the egg, like a pupa.

"Could it be about to hatch?"

Wu Ge glanced down at the egg and had a bad feeling.

He worried that once the child hatched, it would mistake him for its parents and become attached to him.

Wu Ge didn't want to drag a little burden into this Silver Mountain.

Just thinking about it makes it clear that we will definitely face a dangerous situation in the future because of this little thing.

But he felt a little reluctant to just throw away or eat this innocent and vulnerable Pokémon egg.

The human soul is actually a bit like a cat's.

Cats tend to be more patient and tolerant towards the elderly, the weak, women, and children.

Wu Ge could abandon a severely injured, unfamiliar adult Pokémon without batting an eye, but he couldn't ignore a Pokémon egg that had no power whatsoever.

Just as he hadn't ignored Liz, who had wandered into Silver Mountain when she was just a child.

As darkness fell, Wu Ge's mood gradually soured.

The egg's parents still haven't appeared.

What normal parent would leave their child in another monster's lair for a whole day?

Humans can't even do this, let alone Pokémon, which have much richer emotions.

Wu Ge guessed that the child's parents were probably on the verge of collapse.

In desperation, they resorted to desperate measures and placed their child in Wu Ge's home.

Perhaps they had been secretly observing Wu Ge for days and discovered that he was a good Pokémon that only attacked and never killed, which is why they chose to put their eggs in his nest and take a gamble.

In the future League era, it will often happen that wild Pokémon, unable to care for their offspring or hoping for better upbringing, will abandon their children to be raised by humans.

However, in the era of Warcraft, Pokémon did not trust or understand humans, so they would observe and choose other friendly and kind Pokémon to be their foster parents.

Generally speaking, the Pokémon chosen are Kangaskhan, Miltank, and Chansey.

"It seems I really need to keep you by my side."

Wu Ge looked towards the cave entrance and sighed helplessly.

The Scyther and his companions, carrying a large amount of tree fruit, have already appeared; the day is almost over.

"Solai?"

The Scyther returned, glanced at Wu Ge's egg, and asked a question.

"Well, it seems we'll be the ones raising this child from now on."

"Swoosh~"

The mantis smiled and patted its chest.

He was quite happy about the fact that a new life was about to be added to the team.

Aside from occasional training, he doesn't have much to do each day, so he has plenty of time to take care of the baby.

In fact, most Pokémon are overjoyed and happy about the birth of new life. They are simple-minded and don't think about so many complicated things like Wu Ge.

Chapter 75 Blue Dumplings

The next day.

Just as Wu Ge predicted.

The egg that was placed in its nest is indeed about to hatch.

"Solai?"
