"Liyuan, was what you said before true or false? You didn't trick that old man, did you?"
After leaving the Cerulean Gym, Xiaoxia looked at the Pokémon egg held by Guan Liyuan in amazement, and at the same time, she was still confused about Guan Liyuan's previous behavior.
Qingzi seemed to have the same doubts, Xiaoyue had no reaction to this, only Tomoko seemed to see something...
She couldn't feel that the administrator had misappropriated the server to download the film, but she felt the fluctuation of "mind contact" between Guan Liyuan and the two Pokémon eggs!
"Of course it's true..." Guan Liyuan rolled his eyes.
"It turns out that the Kanto Ninetales can reproduce with the Alola Ninetales. It's amazing!"
Xiaoxia just finished speaking and found that everyone was looking at her.
"Did I... say something wrong?" Xiaoxia said guiltily.
"Ahem, after all, Xiaoxia is not a breeder, it's normal not to know these things." Qingzi defended her.
Guan Liyuan mercilessly exposed it, saying, "No, I think this is common sense that all trainers know!"
Xiaoxia looked at Guan Liyuan angrily, and Tomoko explained to her, "Pokémon are different from humans in terms of reproduction and mating. Reproductive isolation is also based on 'egg groups'. Different Pokémon in the same egg group can reproduce new Pokémon according to their unique mating methods. Whether it is Kanto Ninetails or Alola Ninetails, they all belong to the 'land group'."
"Is that so..." Xiaoxia blushed slightly.
Not because she was ashamed, but because she didn't expect Tomoko to say the word "mating" so lightly. After all, her original body is also a Pokémon!
Seeing this, Tomoko couldn't help but laugh and said, "Did you misunderstand something? Didn't I say that the mating and reproduction methods of Pokémon are different for different races, and even more different from humans... For example, I also belong to the 'Land Group' Pokémon. Even if I really conceive a Pokémon, the Pokémon egg will be born from my hair. Similarly, mating for us does not have the meaning that humans give to mating."
Seeing Tomoko said that it seemed that in order to make it easier for her to understand, she also transformed back into Zoroark's true body and stroked her fluffy "hair" that was almost as long as her body. Xiaoxia couldn't help but be shocked, but then she found that Haruko and Xiaoyue didn't react, and then she realized that Tomoko just used telepathy to remove the illusion for herself alone.
Of course, Tomoko did this just to let Xiaoxia understand some of the principles of Pokémon reproduction. In fact, she often walks in human society, and she will definitely be involuntarily affected by human thinking and give mating some "other meanings", so don't expect her to be as casual as ordinary Pokémon.
Regarding the reproduction of Pokémon, there are indeed many differences from ordinary creatures...
For example, when most Pokémon reproduce, the offspring Pokémon will belong to the same race as the maternal line, and the inherited skills are mostly from the paternal line, but Nidoran and Nidoran... In theory, they are Pokémon of different races, but Nidoran is only male. The reason why the race still exists is that the Pokémon bred by Nidoran are all female Nidorans, and all male Nidorans...
There are also some Pokémon that cannot mate and reproduce in their initial state before evolution, such as Pixar, Pichu, and Bubble, but most other Pokémon can reproduce in their initial state.
Nidoran can only reproduce in the state before evolution, and its evolved bodies Nidorina and Nidoqueen will lose their reproductive ability after evolution. Science has verified that this is an evolution that sacrifices reproductive ability and improves strength in order to protect offspring.
Guan Liyuan also asked Pixie and Gengar, who can communicate without any obstacles. Pixie's mating method is to dance the finger dance together under the moon at a specific time, while Haunter's mating method is to merge the gas bodies of both parties together and then immediately generate a new "gas egg", but the sage time of male and female Haunter is very long.
As for how to mate with other species in the same egg group, they don't know...
So it is stupid to speculate on the reproduction method of Pokémon with human ideas. Gender is more of a determination of whether a Pokémon belongs to the genetic race or the genetic skills... Otherwise, I'm afraid that many trainers will not be able to look directly at female Pokémon with super strength!
"How long will it take for Vulpix to be born?" Xiaoxia asked doubtfully while looking at the Pokémon egg.
"The estimate of the Explosion Master is still relatively accurate. It should be in the next two days." Guan Liyuan said.
"In other words... are you really good at breeding Pokémon?" Xiaoxia's eyes flashed.
"Of course!" Guan Liyuan tried his best to show that he was not guilty.
Breeding Pokémon? Guan Liyuan is actually better at occupying the forum server to download... No! He uses the forum to analyze the contract formed by the "Otherworld Summoner" to understand Pokémon, and also uses the skills of the "Otherworld Summoner" to improve the race value of Pokémon.
"That means that the gym will soon be closed?"
If he didn't know Xiaoxia's situation, Guan Liyuan would definitely think that she was in the same group with the Garden Gym!
"In fact... I have decided that even if I win, I will only rent part of the venue of the Cerulean Gym as the indoor part of the breeding house, and then rent another part of the venue outside the city to build a larger Pokémon simulation environment." Guan Liyuan said. "
Why? Isn't my house big enough?" Xiaoxia asked in confusion.
Guan Liyuan looked at her and said, "No, I want to keep the gym..."
"What? This is not a question of whether you want to keep it. After the old man's 'retirement', it is impossible for him to continue to have the qualifications of an official gym." Xiaoxia said.
"Then start with a private gym. You can ignore the old man... ahem, I mean ignore the excessive expectations of the Explosion Gym Leader for you, but since you want to become a Water Pokémon Master, why don't you just change the gym into a Water gym and replace the Garden Gym to regain the official seat in the future?" Guan Liyuan said seriously. "
This... is too difficult, right? The Grass type will restrain the Water type..." Xiaoxia couldn't help but mutter.
"Isn't your confidence in yourself higher than the expectations of the Explosion Gym Leader for you? Or did you run away from home not because your ideals didn't match the expectations of the Explosion Gym Leader for you, but because you were worried that you couldn't meet the expectations of the Explosion Gym Leader? If you can use the Water Gym to regain the official qualification, wouldn't that be the best response to the Explosion Gym Leader?" Guan Liyuan asked back.
Xiaoxia thought for a long time, and then said honestly: "I know! Why do you suddenly look so great..."
After calming down, Xiaoxia suddenly said: "It's getting dark, I'll take you to 'Cape Hualan'! The sunset there is the most beautiful in Hualan!"
Cape Hualan is not a specific place name, but an estuary northeast of Hualan City...
However, when Cape Hualan was mentioned, Guan Liyuan suddenly remembered it and asked Xiaoxia: "By the way! Xiaoxia, do you know Zhenghui?"
In the game, Zhenghui's home is at Cape Hualan!
In the anime, Zhenghui lives in the Zhenghui Lighthouse and studies ancient Pokémon. Xiaozhi and others witnessed a figure that was taller than a cliff several dozen meters high, which was suspected to be a super ancient Dragonite...
"Zhenghui? You mean Dr. Zhenghui? His research institute is also over there, but he has a very strange temper..." Xiaoxia said.
Guan Liyuan couldn't help but get nervous when he heard the news about Zhenghui... Will he have a chance to meet the super giant Dragonite?
