Laying Eggs? Hybridization? Does This Count as Foreign Lands?
Chapter 50 Laying Eggs? Hybridization? Does This Count as Foreign Lands?
After a fierce battle, Arcanine defeated Lucario with its superior speed and powerful Fire-type move.
In a battle above level 55, although the battle between Arcanine and Lucario appeared to be a friendly spar, neither of the two little guys held back.
This made Xia Mu truly realize how powerful Arcanine was.
As expected of a Pokémon with a base stat total of 555, it is worthy of being called a legendary Pokémon.
Even though Lucario is a very special type in some ways, its base stats are still 30 points lower.
While 30 points may not seem like much, if these 30 points are added to any attribute or evenly distributed, it will result in a difference of at least 5 points per attribute.
Of course, if Natsuki had been in charge, Lucario might not have lost.
However, defeating a newly evolved Arcanine is still very difficult when both its level and type are suppressed.
Arcanine, through its strength, reclaimed its title as the strongest under Natsuki's command from Lucario.
Actually, before Riolu evolved, even after Magikarp arrived and evolved into Gyarados, it did not shake Growlithe's status as the strongest Pokémon in Natsuki's hands.
It wasn't until Riolu evolved into Lucario that Growlithe's strength began to gradually fall behind.
So much so that even though its level was always far ahead, its strength was surpassed even by the Red Tyrant.
Arcanine proved itself, and it even defeated Lucario.
Actually, while Lucario is competitive, it's only with other Pokémon.
In its own mind, Growlithe has always considered itself the older sister type.
The reason it felt this way was because when it came into this world, besides its owner Natsuki, the first person it saw was Growlithe.
Growlithe is a land animal and a female. Even though they don't belong to the same species, Growlithe takes care of Riolu like a family member.
According to the order of arrival, Riolu can only be the younger brother.
It is perhaps due to these similar factors that Growlithe and Riolu, and even now Arcanine and Lucario, have a closer relationship than usual.
Unlike Gyarados and Beedrill, who joined the group, they were just ordinary companions.
Even now, Lucario doesn't get angry when he's defeated.
Arcanine won't be overly arrogant; instead, it will interact affectionately with Lucario.
If Xia Mu didn't know the power of wave guidance, he wouldn't be able to understand what they were saying.
A detail revealed a possibility: could Arcanine and Lucario lay eggs and reproduce?
To lay eggs.
If this hadn't happened to his own Pokémon, Xia Mu wouldn't have dared to even consider the possibility.
Even though in games, eggs can be laid as long as the egg population is the same, in the real world, there's always some degree of hybridization involved...
Even though they're both dogs and somewhat similar in that respect, Arcanine is Arcanine, and Lucario is Lucario...
However, Xia Mu still had some expectations.
If Arcanine and Lucario could actually breed in the future, wouldn't that be considered a foreign concept? After all, Lucario was a system reward.
This can be considered another world, right?
Is there a high probability that a Growlithe will be born with a high-V shimmer?
Egg-laying species are inherited by females, so if Arcanine lays an egg, it will definitely be a Growlithe.
After pondering for a long time, Xia Mu finally gave them some simple treatment.
Then, to celebrate Growlithe's evolution into Arcanine, I personally prepared food for them.
His cooking skills are actually quite good; as long as there are enough ingredients and a variety of seasonings, he can cook all kinds of food.
Then there are the snacks and treats stored in the storage space. Xia Mu kept these there for emergencies, and now she can take some out.
Naturally, some energy blocks from the system store will also be included.
……
It was 1:30 p.m.
After the four little ones finished eating and resting, Xia Mu, wanting to experience riding Arcanine, put Lucario, Beedrill, and Gyarados into their Poké Balls.
To be honest, experiencing ground riding for the first time was incredibly exciting.
In my past life, I dreamed of trying things like riding a Growlithe at breakneck speed, or soaring through the sky on the body of a Charizard or Dragonite.
He had experienced flying while riding a Gyarados.
Now a new opportunity has finally arrived, and my dream has come true.
Speaking of which, the game's description of Arcanine shows that it is 1.9 meters tall.
Compared to his own Gyro, Xia Mu was clearly much taller than 2 meters.
After all, he is over 1.8 meters tall. If he were only 1.9 meters tall, Arcanine would only be half a head taller than him at most.
Preliminary estimates suggest that his speeddog head is at least 2.4 to 2.5 meters tall, and his limbs are robust and powerful. His body height alone exceeds 2 meters, giving him the appearance of a colossal creature.
Let alone carrying Xia Mu alone, even if there are two more people, there is no pressure at all, and there is enough space in the back.
Of course, they wouldn't actually let the Gyro Dog carry several people around.
As they sped along Route 11 in Ebisu City, Natsuki could clearly feel that he and Arcanine seemed to be chasing the wind.
Although the speed only reached 150 kilometers per hour, far from the limit of the speed dog, it was still very exciting for Xia Mu.
He wouldn't have dared to run so fast in the city if he wasn't confident enough in his Arcanine.
As the Growlithe was directed to leave the city and reach the roundabout in the suburbs, its speed increased.
The feeling was like being on an airplane accelerating, but instead of moving forward, everything around you was constantly moving backward.
If it weren't for Arcanine's mane protecting Natsuki from the fierce winds, Natsuki would have been blown away.
Previously, many people thought the claim that a speed dog could travel 10000 kilometers in a single day and night was an exaggeration.
Now Xia Mu no longer doubts it; on the contrary, 10000 kilometers is a conservative estimate, belonging to the information statistics of a typical wind speed dog.
When the speed exceeded a certain limit, Xia Mu began to feel dizzy.
It's no longer a thrill, it's just that I really can't take it anymore.
Xia Mu could sense that the speed was so fast that he couldn't even see the things around him clearly anymore.
Although the physical abilities of people in this world are very strong, and they also have the power of wave guidance, this speed is no longer something that the human body can easily accept.
Of course, it also has to do with the first time riding. After all, there is an adaptation process for doing anything, and it is impossible to become proficient right away.
Because of their shared understanding, Growlithe could sense Natsuki's discomfort and quickly slowed down, keeping his speed below 100 kilometers per hour.
It took Xia Mu a long time to calm down, and the sea breeze helped him regain his composure, stopping his cold sweat.
After getting used to it, it directed the Growlithe to the shore of Crescent Lake.
He hadn't been to Crescent Lake for the past few days, but he still wanted to go and see it. He wondered if the food he left behind had been eaten by Dream.
