Pokémon: The Sims

After all, he had spent a year and a half constantly fighting in the Monster Mountain Range.

"It's been a long time since I've been back to the Dragon Kingdom, but I should be going back in the next couple of days."

Wu Ge turned his head to look outside the cave.

This forest seems untouched by the ravages of time; it looks exactly the same as it did last autumn.

He glanced at his personal panel and couldn't help but grin.

[Level]: Lv.54

Height: 12m

[Weight]: 80kg

[Skills]: Rainmaking, Scale Shot

Wu Ge doesn't care about his height or weight.

The increase in level was what pleased him the most.

Last winter, when he had just left Dragonite Valley, he was only Lv.48.

He has now advanced six levels in three quarters, a pace that meets his expectations.

Moreover, he had been at Lv.54 for some time now, and the gradually rising body temperature and abundant energy constantly reminded him of this.

He's about to evolve.

As for the two additional skills, [Rain Summoning] and [Scale Shot]...

The former is a weather skill that is naturally acquired as the level increases, and Wu Ge has not used it yet.

Most Pokémon do not use weather-changing moves indiscriminately outside of battles, as their very genes tell them that doing so would have an impact on nature.

The latter is a low-damage, dragon-type move that increases speed and performs multiple attacks at the cost of reduced physical defense. It's neither strong nor weak, and Wu Ge himself doesn't really like using it.

"Alright, let's go take care of that guy."

Wu Ge headed out of the cave.

There are quite a few powerful leaders in this central area, and these guys can also survive in the central area.

However, the Pokémon understand the principle of "better to be a big fish in a small pond than a small fish in a big pond," even if they can't articulate it.

Even though the central region has more resources and fewer creatures, the lack of food and territory means it doesn't matter to them.

Therefore, for some high-level Pokémon that already have sufficient resources for survival and have no further aspirations, staying in the mid-range area becomes the best option.

The vast majority of these leaders have now become Wu Ge's defeated foe.

There is one left that lives in the lake year-round.

Because it had been too long since he had fought underwater, Wu Ge put this guy last.

There is a clear boundary between the central area and the surrounding area.

At a certain altitude in the upper part of Baiyin Mountain, a sudden change occurs in the terrain surrounding the entire Baiyin Mountain.

The specific reason is probably that some of the crisscrossing caves inside Mount Baiyin have shifted, resulting in the mountain above this height suddenly rising.

As a result, the slope of Baiyin Mountain is no longer smooth, and a fault rock wall nearly five meters high is formed at this altitude.

This fault line thus became the dividing line between the two zones.

Climb up, and you'll reach the central area.

Jump down, and you'll be in the central area.

Directly below this rock face lies a vast lake, which serves as the water source for the Pokémon in the vicinity and is also the territory of a particular Pokémon.

Wu Ge was getting closer and closer to the lake.

When he reached the vicinity of the lake, he stopped in a canopy of trees.

I looked around.

If it's not near a lake, then it must be inside a lake.

Wu Ge quietly slipped into the lake, but the next moment he was so frightened that his heart almost jumped out of his chest.

As soon as he entered the water, a meter-long face appeared in front of him, its two terrifying and sinister eyes staring straight at him.

And this is the leader of this lake.

A powerful crocodile.

Feraligatr is the final stage of the three starter Pokémon of the Johto region's water system.

Its base stats are fairly balanced, making it a relatively tanky physical fighter.

However, compared to the other three Water-type starter Pokémon, Feraligatr ranks at the bottom in terms of strength, appearance, and popularity.

It's not that Feraligatr is a bad Pokémon.

Rather, it was the other three starter Pokémon of the same period that were too powerful.

The number one spot undoubtedly belongs to Swampert, which is a top-tier (T0) Pokémon across all Water-type Pokémon.

Furthermore, among Pokémon such as Empoleon, Blastoise, Greninja, and Primarina, at least one or even two stand out in terms of strength, popularity, and appearance.

Even though it's from a later generation and appeared later, the Thousand Faces is more popular than the Mighty Crocodile.

Only the Greatsword Demon and the Carnival Dance Duck are temporarily under his control.

However, the latter, the Carnival Duck, is a relatively new character, and with its water and fighting attributes, it will likely surpass the Mighty Crocodile in the future.

Another factor that affected the popularity of the crocodile was...

Although Ash's Totodile in the anime is very lively and looks cute.

But at the same time, a truly divine Chrysanthemum Leaf appeared.

Because Chikorita's affection and possessiveness towards Ash were so endearing, Chikorita's popularity at the time even surpassed Pikachu's. This alarmed the official team, who quickly arranged for her to evolve, lowering her appearance and popularity to avoid hindering Pikachu's rise to godhood.

What is this guy doing?

Wu Ge was startled by the giant crocodile, and then looked at it warily.

This giant crocodile is a full 5 meters tall, which is quite exaggerated.

In the real world, becoming a leader requires not only occupying a large enough territory, but also becoming the head of a tribe.

However, this powerful crocodile had no clansmen and always fought alone, so it had no 'leader' mark.

Even without the advantage of a leader, its height of 5 meters is enough to prove the strength of this powerful crocodile.

But when facing Wu Ge.

The crocodile is still not quite up to par.

His Water-type moves deal half damage when they hit Wu Ge, a Dragon-type, while Wu Ge has three Electric-type moves that are super effective against him: Thunder Wave, Thunderbolt, and Thunder.

"Grumpy"

When the crocodile saw Wu Ge, it raised its eyelids and trembled all over.

The crocodile was just in a daze when he suddenly saw a huge snake appear in his territory, which startled him.

After realizing what had happened, I immediately felt very embarrassed and was extremely angry.

After spitting into the water, he rushed towards Wu Ge.

Although the crocodile is large and doesn't look very agile, and although it usually moves slowly, it can be incredibly fast when it pounces on its prey, and its speed in the water is even greater.

'This is the final battle, isn't it?'

Wu Ge calmly used an electromagnetic wave as he watched the powerful crocodile swim rapidly towards him.

The accuracy of electromagnetic waves in water is self-evident; they are almost always successful.

However, the effect of a spread hit is naturally not as good as a direct hit, so for the crocodile, it only caused a slight numbness in its body, with almost no impact.

However, Wu Ge did not use this move to paralyze the crocodile.

It was just to provoke him, in case he didn't keep up.

The next moment, Wu Ge turned and swam towards the shore.

With Crocodile at level 55, which is higher than his own, he naturally couldn't give up the field advantage to Crocodile.

Although Dragonair is also good at fighting in water, the underwater world is ultimately the domain of Water-type Pokémon, which a Dragon-type Pokémon cannot match.

So if you can fight on land, then fight on land.

If the crocodile doesn't come up, Wu Ge will have no choice but to resort to indiscriminate electrofishing.

The other fish and aquatic plants in this lake are going to suffer.

"Rua!!"

The crocodile is also a simple-minded creature with strong limbs.

He didn't consider home advantage or disadvantage at all, and leaped out of the water to bite in the direction Wu Ge was.

This huge mouth, which is over a meter tall, could bite Wu Ge's body in two or three bites.

'Crunch, as expected, ordinary Pokémon don't know about type advantages and disadvantages.'

Wu Ge didn't rush to make a move, but instead observed the gleaming light on the crocodile's teeth.

The dim, brownish energy glow indicated that this move was either a Dark-type Bite or a Dark-type Crunch.

Crunch deals more damage and has a chance to lower the target's defense, so most Pokémon tend to use this move.

However, at level 21, Crocodile can learn the Ice Fang move.

This is also the only skill in the Mighty Crocodile's skill list that counters Wu Ge.

Although Crushing is stronger in terms of single-round skill damage, when facing Wu Ge, Frozen Fang will definitely deal more significant damage.

But the crocodile clearly doesn't understand these things.

This is a huge advantage for Wu Ge.

It's not about a huge advantage in physical attributes, it's about a huge advantage in intelligence.

Facing an opponent who isn't particularly bright, Wu Ge's next battle should be quite easy, even though the Mighty Crocodile is of a higher level.

Wu Ge didn't even need to use high-speed movement; he simply raised his body to create distance and easily dodged the attack.

He then unleashed his skill from the sky towards the powerful crocodile directly below.

【tornado】

【Flame Vortex】

A pale purple tornado and a fiery, swirling vortex hurtled toward the powerful crocodile.

The crocodile was also a reckless man. Without dodging or evading, it used a [Tidal Whirl] to forcefully block Wu Ge's two skills.

However, this was exactly what Wu Ge intended.

His original plan was to trap the crocodile, giving himself time to gain buffs.

Now look what's happened; the crocodile has managed to control itself.

Dragon Dance x3

[Refinement]

Wu Ge originally planned to use Dragon Dance and Sharpening once and then call it a day, since the Mighty Crocodile should have launched another attack after those two skills were used up.

But who would have thought that the Mighty Crocodile would actually go head-to-head with tornadoes and fire vortexes.

He wouldn't give up until he used Tide Whirl to erase Wu Ge's two skills, and he kept using Tide Whirl to continue controlling himself.

Wu Ge then took the opportunity to use Dragon Dance twice more.

In fact, the main role of Dragon Dance in this battle is to increase speed so that he can launch an attack with lightning speed later, catching the Mighty Crocodile off guard.

As for the attack bonus from Dragon Dance, it's really not that useful.

After all, both thunder and 100,000 volts are special damage and are not affected by attack bonuses.

[High-speed movement]

Once the buff is fully stacked, unleash your power immediately.
