Pokémon: The Sims

In the current situation, it's a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.

But watching Tony and Alice walk away, her mood didn't improve at all.

Even if we can delay it, so what?

Could they possibly stop the three creator gods with their power?

This kind of thinking cannot be expressed.

Because she is the champion of the Sinnoh region, and the hope of the people of Ashford.

Even at this very moment.

She knew it too.

Somewhere in this city, there must be a mother saying to her child, "It's okay, don't be afraid, Miss Cynthia is protecting us."

She knew it too.

On the outskirts of the city.

There must be another group of trainers and their Pokémon doing everything they can to slow down the destruction of Ashtown, just to buy her and Wu Ge more time, even if it's just a second.

This is indeed a despairing world.

But everyone is burning themselves out with all their might, igniting a brilliant flame called hope.

and so.

She absolutely cannot give up.

No matter who the opponent is.

No matter how desperate the situation may seem.

She must persevere to the end.

boom!

The dust and gravel that swirled around her ears startled Cynthia awake.

Ignoring the cuts on her face from the rubble, she turned her head blankly to look at the huge crater beside her, her heart stopping at that moment.

The center of the giant crater.

The eternally resolute, unyielding black-blue figure lay helplessly on the ground, countless pebbles pressing down on him.

Blood stained his fur dark red, and teeth and claw marks covered his chest and arms.

He was still struggling to get up.

His eyes were still bright and piercing.

His frail body simply couldn't support his resilient soul.

------

"Wu Ge..."

Cynthia's mind went blank, and she quickly ran towards the giant pit.

"Roar!"

A sound wave that made the air vibrate came from the side.

In the blink of an eye.

Cynthia was thrown away by the sound wave and crashed to the ground, bleeding from both ears and almost losing her hearing.

She pressed her fair, delicate hand to the ground.

Even sharp pebbles are fine.

The oppressive feeling of Giratina, whatever.

No matter what.

Nothing could stop her determination to save Wu Ge at this moment.

Giratina in the sky launched its final, fatal blow—Ultimate Impact—at Wu Ge, who was struggling to get up from the giant crater.

Time seemed to freeze.

The sound of her heartbeat became deafening in Cynthia's deaf world, urging her to get up quickly.

Cynthia propped herself up.

Ignoring the Giratina swooping down from the sky, she raised her hand and used her precious ball to retrieve Wu Ge from the pit, then turned and ran, disappearing into the alley of Baiyang Town.

boom--

The entire town of Poplar was shaken by the impact of Giratina.

Cracks spread outwards from the giant crater in all directions, reaching the very edge of the island.

Giratina's attack made the already crumbling town of Aspen even more dilapidated.

"roar~"

When He discovered that Wu Ge was not in the pit, He angrily plunged into the shadow world.

In the Shadow World, Giratina ignored the complex buildings and immediately spotted Cynthia, who was stumbling forward while leaning against a wall.

A black hole, as deep as an abyss, opened up beside Cynthia.

She immediately stopped and turned to run behind her.

How long can this escape continue?

an ordinary person.

How can one escape Giratina's pursuit while injured and deaf?

The Pluto Dragon is like a vengeful demon from hell.

It swung its claws and slapped at Cynthia from behind.

The golden retriever pup, sensing the strong wind, immediately collapsed to the ground.

Swish!

Sharp claws slashed past Cynthia from behind.

Fortunately, she wasn't hurt.

But it cut off Cynthia's long blonde hair, which reached her calves, at the waist.

Even in this dark and boundless crevice, the golden stray hair still shone brightly.

They inherited Cynthia's will and bravely rushed towards Giratina, obscuring her vision and doing everything they could to create an opportunity for Cynthia to escape.

"Wu Ge, I've said it before, I can help you, I won't hold you back."

Bright red blood trickled from Cynthia's right eye socket.

But there was no pain in her pupils.

The only joy is the happiness of saving your loved one.

"Roar!"

Another roar.

A despairing dark purple light shone behind Cynthia.

She glanced at it, then suddenly looked down while still holding the Poké Ball.

A wave of evil swept past Cynthia's head, obliterating the greyish-white ribbon in the dark light.

Cynthia looked up, staring blankly at the bow that had disappeared into the black light.

That scene from twenty years ago reappeared before my eyes.

【

Little Riolu, covered in dust and dirt, ran up to me with a big smile and his hands behind his back.

"Riolus! Have you been fighting with any other Pokémon?"

The golden retriever looked at the puppy with concern.

The puppy paused for a moment.

Then, smiling and shaking his head, he presented the hairband hidden behind his back to Cynthia like a precious treasure:

Happy birthday, Cynthia.

】

Tears squeezed out the blood.

Tears streamed down his face.

That was just a cheap headband that you could find anywhere at a street stall.

But it was a gift filled with Riolu's hard work and heartfelt intentions.

It was the most precious birthday gift she had ever received!

She has cared for her with all her heart for twenty years.

Even if it gets white and soft from washing, she can't bear to throw it away.

It is no longer just a simple ornament.

Rather, it is an imprint etched into her soul, proof of the earliest and purest bond between her and Wu Ge.

If she had known this would happen today, she wouldn't have worn it.

"woo"

An overwhelming grief, like a tsunami, instantly breached the dam.

She desperately wanted to cry out loud.

She bit her lower lip hard, her teeth digging deep into her pink lips.

Only after tasting the metallic sweetness of rust did he manage to suppress his heart-wrenching cries.

Cynthia, clutching her precious Poké Ball, continued her desperate escape.

She was afraid that the sound would allow Giratina to find her more quickly.

but.

She was really sad.

Looking at the Poké Ball lying quietly in her arms, Cynthia grinned, revealing a forced smile.

Blood and tears blurred her face, leaving her looking utterly disheveled.

this moment.

Cynthia finally understood Wu Ge's feelings.

I understand now, his domineering back always shielding me from view.

She understood the profound love hidden within those protections that she criticized as arbitrary.

That love.

Pure as a pearl.

As precious as a diamond.

"I'm sorry, Lucario. I was too willful."

Cynthia wiped her nose and hurriedly kissed the precious ball.

She pressed the button on the precious ball to lock it, preventing the Pokémon inside from escaping.

Then he quickly bent down and hid the Poké Ball under a pile of rubble nearby, picked up a stone and hid it, then ran away in a different direction.
