Pokémon: The Sims

The crowd looked at the somewhat bare Aurora plum trees with a hint of regret.

The aurora plum blossoms during the harsh winter.

And now it is the height of summer.

At this moment, only a few tender buds and resilient green leaves remain on the branches.

At most, they can only pick some tender buds and leaves or branches of the aurora plum when they come here; they cannot pick the plum blossoms that can be used to make top-grade perfumes and are born to bathe in the aurora.

But it doesn't matter.

That was anticipated before the climb even began.

Wu Ge and Cynthia's initial purpose in climbing Xiaoyao was simply to let Diancie experience it.

What Diancie needs isn't necessarily the aurora plum blossom, but rather something that can be used to commemorate this journey in the future.

A tree branch.

That's enough.

Wu Ge reached out and gently plucked a side branch from the low-lying Aurora Plum tree, handing it to Tianxi.

Tianxi took it and carefully tucked it inside her clothes.

That's enough.

The rest, just keep in mind.

After taking photos and looking around a few more times, everyone decided to head down the mountain.

That's when they realized it.

It would be strange if we didn't spot the uncle and the tree.

Search around.

My gaze swept over the rugged snow-covered rocks and the sparse shadows of plum blossoms.

They were found on the other side of the aurora plum tree.

The man stuck his trekking pole, broken in two, into the snow beneath the aurora plum tree.

"Thank you for your hard work over the years."

"Whoosh."

He reached out his twig-like hand and gently patted the uncle's shoulder.

“I have made up my mind. I will continue climbing until the day I can no longer climb even a single step. That is when I will stop.”

"Whoosh!"

I said goodbye.

The old man and the tree took one last look at the two broken pieces of the staff that stood silently in the afterglow.

It seems that all the regrets of the past 28 years have been left here.

Turn around.

He walked quickly toward everyone.

Together we made our way back down the mountain.

The aurora borealis, tinged with the glow of sunset, continued to flow silently across the sky.

Bathed in a glow that seemed to have been scorched red by flames, the trekking pole, broken in two, swayed on the snow, as if bidding a final farewell.

After a while.

One section, as if having exhausted all its strength, silently collapsed beneath the Aurora Plum tree, nestled against the trunk that had weathered countless years of wind and frost.

The fine snow gradually buried it.

Its mission.

finished.

. . .

The descent was three to five times easier than the ascent.

It took more than ten days to climb the mountain.

It only takes five days to descend the mountain.

This is even though no one used their own Pokémon to get around; otherwise, the time would have been even shorter.

On the afternoon of the fifth day.

They returned to Yaoxiang City.

"Thanks to Cynthia and the others for their encouragement, I and Tree Monster were able to persevere and reach the summit!"

The uncle looked at them with a smile.

"Yes, yes, if it weren't for our encouragement, the uncle would probably have died halfway through his life again."

Tianxi shrugged.

"."

The uncle's forehead was covered in a thin layer of cold sweat.

Fortunately, the past two weeks of getting to know Diancie had helped him understand her speaking style; otherwise, he might have thought Diancie was cursing him.

"I hope that the uncle can continue to pursue his passion for climbing in the future."

Cynthia raised her hand and clenched her fist in encouragement.

"Well, I don't plan to challenge the higher mountains anymore, but I can challenge Xiaoyao a few more times in the future."

The man nodded, then asked Cynthia for her mailing address.

"If I find any aurora plums in the future, I will mail some to you."

"Okay, then let's look forward to it."

Sirona nodded.

"I don't actually have high expectations."

Tianxi added.

"Ahem, well, I heard from the others that you're a very famous trainer, Cynthia? Are you here to participate in that competition?"

"Hehe, it's alright, it's not that bad."

"No, no, at your age, becoming a star trainer is one thing, but reaching the top of the Freedom Tower on your first attempt is simply genius. It really puts us uncles and aunts to shame."

"where."

Cynthia was a little embarrassed by the praise and lowered her head, hiding half of her body behind Wu Ge.

"There should only be a month or two left until your competition, right? We'll be there to cheer you on! Although your stamina isn't the best, your voice is absolutely amazing!"

The middle-aged man held up a thumbs-up and a set of gleaming white teeth.

"Whoosh!"

The trees next to him would never imitate him.

"Thank you!"

"Well then, I'll take my leave now. I haven't been home for over ten days, and my family must be worried about me."

"it is good."

Cynthia nodded and waved goodbye.

Watching the uncle and the tree monster sway and stagger away, Wu Ge and the others couldn't laugh.

After all, it's not just the older man who's tired.

"I'm so tired, I'm going back to sleep. I'm going to lie down all day today, we can talk about it tomorrow."

Wu Ge waved casually and headed towards the hotel.

"I want to lie down all day too."

Cynthia felt her legs were sore, painful, and weak.

I must get Lucario to give me a massage tomorrow.

"There's really no other way, I guess I'll just take a nap."

Tianxi put her hands on her hips and shook her head helplessly.

Sleep all day.

For her, it was like taking a nap.

After returning to the hotel.

The three of them slept from the afternoon until the morning of the next day.

Bang bang!

The sound of glass being struck rang out.

Wu Ge opened his eyes naturally, got out of bed, and drew back the curtains.

It startled a little finches that were resting outside the window, causing them to fly away.

"Well"

A sticky, murmuring sound rang out.

Wu Ge looked down.

Only then did he realize that the little golden retriever was clinging to his chest like an octopus. Although it was asleep, it did not fall off when Wu Ge stood up, which showed how tightly it was holding on.

Wu Ge reached out and pulled the little golden retriever off her body, tossing it back onto the bed.

It’s time to say it or not.

Although Cynthia appears to be a delicate and virtuous young woman, she is actually quite physically strong.

Wu Ge figured that taking a hit from the Pikachu on the roadside would be a piece of cake.

"Wu Ge~ Good morning."

Tianxi's voice came from the bed next door.

The princess of the mining country was also awakened by the sound of the little bird pecking at the glass.

"morning."

Where are we going today?

"I don't know, let's let Cynthia decide when she wakes up."

Wu Ge shook his head.

He didn't care where he was going next.

Let the golden retriever decide this.

What competition are you going to participate in?

"It's the Pokémon battle competition that many people are paying attention to. Pokémon battles, Cynthia told you about them before."

"Oh, Wu Ge, are you going to fight too?"

"Ah."

Wu Ge nodded.

He glanced at his panel.

The panel hasn't been changed in a while.

However, apart from the level and the logo, there's nothing else that can be changed.

If not.

He also won't start learning superpowers.
