Chapter 756 Summer Camp
Zhou You always thought that girls generally like pets of their foster mothers. Is this his illusion?
Seeing that Blue's words were a little strange, he reconfirmed: "Do you want a male Squirtle as a beginner Pokémon?"
"Yes!"
Perhaps realizing that the other party was very puzzled, Blue added an explanation: "In most cases, male Pokémon are better looking, have stronger physical fitness, and have a stronger fighting spirit. I also want to challenge the Pokémon League, so I can't lose to others from the starting line."
So that's it, Zhou You thought, although it is not absolute, but there is indeed such a law in nature.
Blue is stronger than other children, so she doesn't want to waste time at the beginning because of gender issues.
Of course, she doesn't have to be male, but beginner Pokémon have a higher degree of freedom, so why not be able to choose to a certain extent?
Anyway, Blue doesn't plan to be like Xiaozhi, who had no choice but to pick up a Pikachu that was left over by others and that Professor Oak caught in the back mountain and had only raised for a short time.
Knowing this, Zhou You had to remind him responsibly: "Actually, you don't need to care about these things. Beginner Pokémons usually undergo professional training. You don't need to consider other aspects. Just choose one you like."
"Thank you, I want a male Squirtle."
Azure's eyes were extremely firm!
Isn't her meaning clear enough?
It doesn't matter whether it's male or female, the most important thing is to look good.
Squirtle is the kind of Pokémon that is more beautiful when it's male!
"Don't worry, I'll help you keep an eye out." Zhou You said that he understood Azure's idea and decided to pick the strongest one for her to train.
Both of them thought they understood each other's meaning...
...
Near noon, the summer camp came to the forest near Pallet Town.
"Everyone just relax a little. The Oak Research Institute occasionally releases the Pokémon they train into the wild. This mountain is very safe."
Xiaozhi, who was temporarily pulled by the professor to act as a teacher, rarely did not act recklessly and asked a question to the children: "Does anyone know why Professor Oak wants to release the Pokémon trained in the institute?"
This has to mention the issue of "ecology".
According to the new rules of the alliance in the past two years, both ordinary people and trainers are strictly prohibited from releasing Pokémon at will.
This rule is to prevent wild Pokémon from causing chaos and harm in the city, and to prevent the surrounding ecology from being affected or even invaded.
Therefore, when Pokémon need to be released now, they need to find a specific institution - such as the Pokémon Center, and the staff of the alliance will handle it uniformly.
Usually they are released back to their place of origin after training, or they may be sent to the wild area after wilding.
Although many experts believe that a series of behaviors such as adoption, abandonment and release back to the place of birth will cause Pokémon to have resentment towards humans, the Kanto Alliance still implemented this system against all odds.
This behavior has also caused heated discussions in other regions, especially the Unova region.
Due to special reasons, the release behavior there is more fierce than all other regions combined.
"Oh my God, Xiaozhi is talking about academics!" Eden, who is a bodyguard near the Sun and Moon trio, complained with illusion, "Could it be that he actually doesn't know why, but just wants to ask?"
Zhou You didn't notice what happened here - he was still thinking hard about how to cultivate Chrysanthemum Leaf.
"Can't afford to raise them?"
"Is it too troublesome to raise so many Pokémon?"
"Did they report the numbers too high and then release the Pokémon to make a profit?"
Children nowadays are really difficult to deal with. The reasons that come out of their mouths are getting more and more outrageous.
After a bunch of answers that sounded reasonable and exciting, Piper, who had a good relationship with Hupp in the past two days, raised his hand in a restrained manner.
"Piper, do you know why?" Xiaozhi asked curiously.
Piper secretly glanced at the other little friends and nodded confidently.
"Well, I know, Professor Oak must be raising those Pokémons in a free-range manner!"
Hup, who was standing aside, was radiant when he heard this.
"So that's it! It's free-range. Professor Oak regards the entire back mountain as his own backyard to raise those Pokémons!"
This is exactly the same as his ranch.
The rest of the people immediately saw the moon.
"Oh~ So that's how it is."
"Hey, is it free-range? What's free-range?"
"Free-range means releasing them into the wild and raising them separately."
"Then what?"
"Then they will become very powerful if they keep running around in the mountains!"
After hearing this, Xiaozhi thought to himself that this was the case. No wonder the Pokémon in the back mountain are so strong, and even Pikachu's electricity was very good at the beginning.
And just when everyone thought this was the correct answer.
Liliae, one of the Sun and Moon trio at the farthest distance, also raised her hand.
"It's for ecological balance." She had heard similar things from the doctor who occasionally contacted her parents. "Trainers taming wild Pokémon will weaken the population and affect the regional ecology in the long run. Releasing Pokémon after wilding them is to artificially maintain the ecology between nature, humans and Pokémon."
Xiaozhi seemed to understand, thinking that if you say more, you are right.
Then he cast a look at Zhouyou for help.
"Huh? Oh, it is indeed for maintaining ecological balance."
After being reminded by Eden, Zhou You gave a positive answer: "This phenomenon is also exacerbated with the increase of trainers. The Kanto Alliance suffered a great loss because it did not pay attention to this at the beginning, so it must be noted when a new regional alliance is established."
Having said that, humans can actually do a limited amount, and it mainly depends on the recovery ability of nature itself.
"Especially for an island country like Alola that is almost isolated from the world, the development of humans, cities, alliances and tourism will cause damage to the environment and ecology. If this is ignored, the pollutants in nature may harm the elves and humans."
The most typical example is Alola Slime, which has been made to exceed the heavy metal standard by them, and looks like it is radioactively contaminated.
In addition, there are several Alolas suspected to be parallel worlds in the world behind the Ultimate Cave. Among them, the Ultimate Building where the Evil Food King is located is clearly pointed out to be the Haole City in another world.
In the development of civilization, one wrong step will lead to a thousand miles away.
Zhou You, who came to his senses, did not continue to torture himself for the training plan, but sat near the Sun and Moon trio to pay attention to the surroundings.
After answering the question, Liliae felt a little embarrassed by everyone's stares and subconsciously lowered her head.
Then she saw a snow-white fox elf staying beside her.
She remembered that it was Vulpix, a specialty of Alola, and seemed to be a wandering elf.
So she bravely reached out her hand.
