Chapter 22 Dormitory Night Talk
The idea king is always surrounded by new idea kings.
Natsuno's idea drew strong opposition from Tomiyako.
"What's the use of a Gundam? If it stands up, it'll just get beaten up."
"How about this, the single oocyte is a Psychic-type, and we have the shell of a Normal-type Pokémon, like Tauros."
"When the opponent sees that you're a Normal-type, they pull out a Fighting-type Pokémon, hoping to easily defeat you in one hit."
"Wouldn't it be a sight to behold if he used a superpower attack that countered his attack and sent him flying?"
Goodness, when the two of them talked like this, it was like finding a kindred spirit in a stagnant pool, and inspiration flowed endlessly.
"We can upgrade it further and make it even bigger, like Snorlax, with the cockpit designed on its two feet."
"Most people attack by targeting the body, never imagining that I focus my attacks on my feet. People bombard my torso with attacks, but after all that effort, nothing happens."
"Wouldn't it be better if we simply waited in comfort, hiding in our positions until the opponent was exhausted, and then finished them off with minimal effort?"
"Oh ho ho ho ho!"
Xia Sun Ce and Liu Li Zhou Yu exchanged a glance and revealed an indescribable smile.
"The battle arena is like Dragonite losing Extreme Speed, or Garchomp losing Dragon Dance."
"What nonsense are you talking about? How could an earth dragon not have a dragon dance? Even lobsters have a dragon dance."
At that moment, Sharky, who was playing a game on the second floor of his Cynthia Villa in Sinnoh while wearing special equipment, suddenly sneezed.
At this moment, Sharky is controlling Flygon, equipped with the moves Dragon Claw, Superpower, Earthquake, and Dragon Dance.
Dragon Dance is a must-have skill for Shark in the game; Shark only plays characters with Dragon Dance.
Shark seemed to have thought of something, and imagined the opposing Arcanine as a mid-level researcher surnamed Xia, and unleashed all of its skills at it.
Even though the Arcanine had already fallen to the ground, Shark still managed to unleash an earthquake attack on the spot where it had fallen.
I'm so angry and cold! What era are we living in that people are still telling jokes about earthworms!
When will our earth dragon be able to stand up?!
Natsuno and Tomohiko got more and more into their conversation and started talking about how to efficiently defeat the opposing trainer in wild battles.
Luckily they were in Kanto; if they had gone to another region, they would have been beaten up, or even arrested by the police.
After all, although the Kanto government officially banned open-world fighting, the practice of open-world fighting was still very popular among the common people.
After all, open-world fighting is just too exciting, like dancing on a knife's edge, where one second you have a huge advantage and the next you're reversed and knocked to the ground.
Seeing that it was getting late, Natsuno was too lazy to go back to the research institute and decided to relive her university days with Tomohiko.
One was holding Xiao Cai, the other was curling up with Xiao Fen. The two lay on their respective beds, chatting happily across each other with the lights off.
They call it "two-thirds of the dorm late-night talk" because the other roommate wasn't there.
As they chatted, the conversation drifted to their other roommate.
"Where do you think that guy is now?"
"I don't know. I haven't seen anything from him in the past two years. He said he was going back to his hometown of Shichidoshima to become a police officer, but he's probably still there."
"I wonder why this guy, from a family of police officers, ended up studying at Yuhong University, and specifically majoring in biology. Shouldn't he have gone to police academy?"
"You don't know this, but families with a history of police officers usually send their children to police academies in advance, and then to regular universities they like, so that they can eventually go back to become police officers."
As we chatted, the conversation drifted back to history.
"You know, Guandu used to be all about open-world combat. Is it possible that Wujian was knocked down by that powerful member of the Dragon Envoy clan right from the start?"
"And then, to save face, they recorded it as Caterpie killing Dragonite when it was low on health? Please, your imagination is really rich. Wouldn't that be even more embarrassing?"
"Hey! That's not right, Onoko. Recording that Dragonite was nearly defeated by Caterpie is a disgrace to Dragonite, while recording that it was directly defeated by Wild Fighter is a disgrace to the Dragonkin race. Which is more important?"
"Damn it, you used to fail so many courses in school, I thought you weren't very bright, but I never expected your brain to be as sharp as a Mega Metagross when it comes to gossiping like this!"
"Hehe, you flatter me. Speaking of Metagross, my family recently hired two trainers who have Shiny Metagross to help their Metagross bond with each other."
Hearing this, Natsuno sat bolt upright in bed: "So what you said back in college was true? You really want to build an all-Striped team? And all of them will be late-blooming Pokémon?"
"Yes, I reckon Shiny Metagross will be coming soon. I haven't decided which other Pokémon to choose yet. Sigh, this is worrying."
Natsuno wanted nothing more than to jump over and slap Tomohiko, but then he decided to do what he wanted.
He rolled out of bed, pinned Fuyan down through the blanket, and started punching him repeatedly: "You bastard, you got lucky and you're showing off in front of your brother! I'll beat you to death!"
Fu Yan begged for forgiveness repeatedly: "I was wrong, Brother Ye, Godfather! It's all thanks to your theories. If you hadn't said that heterochromia is also controlled by genes, I really wouldn't have thought of doing it."
"If it really is genetically controlled, then the chances of offspring being of different colors are highest if both parents are of different colors. I was actually joking before."
"This is actually an experiment to see how many eggs need to be laid before offspring with different colors are produced, and whether the probability is really higher than that of two normal parents."
"When Pokémon reproduce, their offspring are downgraded in rank, especially the stronger the Pokémon type. It's difficult to breed multiple generations outside of breeding facilities!"
"It's rare to find a shiny Pokémon that matures late in life. I'm boosting your stats, conducting experiments on you. Don't let this valuable asset go to waste!"
Xia Ye punched himself twice more, satisfied, and went back to lie down on his bed.
"I estimate that the trait of heterochromia is controlled by multiple pairs of genes, and even if both parents have heterochromia, the probability of their offspring having heterochromia will not be particularly high."
"I can only say it depends on your luck. If you can't do it, don't force it. The unusual color is just a visual effect. You'd be better off spending the money to exchange resources and cultivate a normal one."
Fu Yan didn't care: "My family is rich and they're not stingy with letting me do it. Go ahead and do it, it'll be so cool. A whole team of main players will be different colors. Don't worry about it, I'm going to do it."
Natsuno spat at Fuhiko: "You can spend your money however you want. I'm going to call you the modern-day Wujian. You're even more extravagant than Wujian."
"If you put it that way, I remember that no one in history has ever assembled a team with all the Shiny Pokémon. The most recorded team has only had four Shiny Pokémon."
Natsuno was speechless at Tomiyako's expertise in such bizarre historical accounts. After all, when it came to historical gossip, Tomiyako was a professional, able to find records from every nook and cranny.
"If I actually manage to create all Shiny Pokémon that are all late bloomers, wouldn't I be the first person in history to do so? Wouldn't I be remembered in history?"
"Thank you, Onoko. You've strengthened my resolve. We really are... well, what's the saying in your Eastern language again?"
Xia Ye replied listlessly, "Low mountains and stinking waters meet a kindred spirit."
"Ah, right, 'High mountains and flowing water seek a kindred spirit,' that's such a cultured saying. Just saying it makes you feel elegant."
"Onoko, are you asleep? Natsuno? Ye-nii? Godfather?"
"Slap!" The sound of a slap on the face.
A dazed Natsuno asked, "What?"
Fu Yan grinned slyly: "It's nothing, just telling you to get up and go back to sleep."
"You son of a bitch!"
