Chapter 9 Birth
Chapter 9 Birth
"Ha~" Qi Hao rubbed his eyes, yawned, and got out of bed early in the morning. He looked at his hand, which had already gone down in swelling. "Huh? It healed pretty quickly?" Then he was confused. "(°Д°≡°Д°) Holy crap! Where am I? Why am I the only one here?!"
"Oh right, I'm not in my own cave right now, I'm in the snow hut built by the Metagross." Qi Hao also realized this, and was still a little unaccustomed to staying here for the first time. "?????? So where are Godmother and Xiao Bu?"
I used the Instant Change of Clothes technique again, then stepped out of the snow hut and immediately saw a Metagross carrying a Pokémon egg walking out of a huge snow hut marked with a cross.
"Wow, when did this snow house appear?" Qi Hao asked in confusion, then walked towards the Metagross holding the egg: "( ̄▽ ̄)/ Hello Auntie, when did this snow house appear?"
“Gold… (I’m a guy…)” The giant gold monster looked at Qi Hao with a blank expression.
“(||?_?) Male, male…” Qi Hao was also stunned.
Their eyes met for a moment, staring at each other.
Qi Hao's eyes darted away. \u003d????(??? ????)
Qi Hao forgot one thing: Metagross always spoke to him first before he knew its gender. He couldn't actually tell Metagross's gender because Metagross was originally genderless.
“But you’re holding an egg!” Qi Hao retorted stubbornly.
“( ̄- ̄)Gold (Holding an egg means it’s a girl? My wife just gave birth, she’s still resting inside. I’m just taking my baby home first.” The Megalomon didn’t mind and slowly explained to Qi Hao.
"→_→ This house was built temporarily last night to accommodate all the Metagross mothers who are about to give birth today, so it's very big. It will probably be dismantled after today's use. I'm going to go back to my room now, the baby can't catch a cold from the wind."
Metagross hurried away. Qi Hao watched its retreating figure, then began to communicate with the system in his mind.
[(???) I'm finally getting it! Metagross is genderless, so it can only breed with Ditto, right? System, what do you say?]
"( ' - ' * ) Uh, you didn't know? So how did you manage to chat with the Metagross leader so naturally before?"
[(?′??`)? The voice was clearly male, so I subconsciously assumed Metagross had a gender.]
"Well, let the great system explain it to you! Arceus realized that if genderless Pokémon like Metagross could only breed with Ditto, that would be illogical. Therefore, they are born with a spiritual gender. So, genderless races are only theoretical; they have a spiritual distinction between male and female, and their methods of reproduction are also unique. For example, Metagross, with its male spiritual nature, infuses its Steel-type energy and some matter into the body of a Metagross with a female spiritual nature. I won't go into details; it's not suitable for children."
[(′,,?w?,,`)?detailed]
"Don't be cocky!"
Well, it seems I won't get any answers from him.
So, feeling frustrated because the system even guarded against gentlemen, Qi Hao walked towards the main entrance of the Snow House, and then became even more frustrated!
Beneath the curtain at the main entrance was a sign made of ice: "Qi Hao is not allowed to enter; anyone who enters will have no descendants."
“(╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻What the hell!” Qi Hao slammed the sign down.
Brand: 6
Having no other choice, Qi Hao had to enter through the back door of the snow house.
The snow house has a wall in the middle, dividing the house into two parts. The front part is the work area, and the back part is the rest area. Entering the snow house from the back, Qi Hao saw Metagross lying on the bed. Some of them had a Metagross holding an egg standing next to them. Most of the Metagross on the bed were looking at the egg with a loving expression, while the rest were mostly sleeping.
Next to the door marked "Postpartum Exit," the Metagross leader looked anxious.
"( ' - ' * ) Is your wife inside?" Qi Hao suddenly asked from behind him.
"Gold! (Holy crap, when did you appear? You scared me! I'm unleashing my Bullet Punch!)" The Metagross leader was startled by Qi Hao's sudden appearance and raised his hand, which was already coated with a gray metallic color.
"Wow! Stop! Stop! Don't hit me!" Qi Hao was also startled. His small body couldn't withstand that punch.
The Metagross leader, having recovered his composure, lowered his hand; clearly, he had been too tense.
“Gold. (Sorry, I startled you. I was a little too nervous.)” The Metagross leader finished speaking, sighed, and squatted down next to the door.
Qi Hao also squatted down next to the door, since he was quite bored.
Before Qi Hao could even start a conversation, the Metagross leader spoke up: "Gold. (What you said yesterday, I've thought about carefully.)"
"So?" Qi Hao asked expectantly, thinking that this guy wasn't entirely hopeless after all.
"(? ? 皿 ?) Gold! (I've changed the time I'm going to take them down with me to when I've raised my child! But please don't stop me anymore! They're doomed! Even Lord Kyurem can't stop them! I said it!)" The Metagross leader's tone suddenly became agitated.
"Ah, this seems to be a very deep grudge, but are you sure you can't stop him?" Qi Hao ignored him and couldn't help but sigh, wondering just how deep this grudge was!
"Gold! (You're not really going to have Lord Kyurem stop me, are you?! No way!)" The Metagross leader's demeanor suddenly changed, and he looked at Qi Hao in horror.
"So you were just talking nonsense all along?" Qi Hao looked at him with disdain, then replied, "Don't worry, this is your own business. I'm not going to interfere anymore. I'm already very satisfied that you changed your mind because of me. By the way, what exactly happened back then?"
"Gold! (Those bastards! They have no sportsmanship! They ambushed us! We were peacefully in our own territory when they suddenly attacked us! So we fought back, but they were super effective against us! They were like mad dogs, using Bite on us as soon as they saw us! They chased us down and devoured us! I, a single Pokémon, took on four of them!)" The Metagross leader was almost crying as he spoke! Tyranitar had caught a Metagross and was going to beat it up!
"(◣д◢) Gold! (The most shocking thing is! They ambushed my wife! Four of them held me back, the rest were one-on-one, and there were even a few more on the other side! It was those same guys! They knocked down my wife and then used earthquakes on her! Stomping! They took turns! Ahhhhh! It's happening!)" The more he talked, the more excited he became, wishing he could rush over there right then and there!
Qi Hao agreed, saying, "This is definitely a birth!"
“?_?Gold. (Children shouldn’t swear. Even if you’re as mature as a thirteen-year-old, it’s still not allowed.)” The Metagross leader suddenly changed his tone again and said this.
“What the hell is thirteen years old…” Qi Hao retorted directly, “Why is it thirteen years old again! You’re not going to let me get past this, are you?!” But before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a voice from inside the door.
"Cha-bu! (Hey outside! Your baby has been born safely, use your superpowers to carry him out!)" Then the big doll shouted outside again, "Next!"
“Gold! (Here I am! My wife, I’m here!)” The Metagross leader immediately beamed with joy.
"Wow, that's some serious emotional control!" Qi Hao couldn't help but remark, watching the Metagross leader switch emotions so quickly.
“No! (She fainted right after giving birth, so be careful!)” Big Doll instructed.
"Jin! (Understood!)" After saying that, he used his superpowers to wrap his wife and newborn child up and flew straight back home. Qi Hao, having nothing else to do, went along too.
Once inside, Qi Hao looked at the unconscious Metagross mother, then turned to the Metagross leader and asked, "Do you need more nutrient solution? I made a few extra yesterday; they're in the preparation area. It's okay to use too much of this stuff."
"Really? You watch over my wife and kids for me, I'll be right back." Upon hearing that there were many potions, the Metagross leader immediately ran out.
So now only Qihao, the unconscious Metagross mother, and the newly hatched elf egg remain in the room.
Qi Hao pulled out a Banana Fruit! He used the juice to draw a pink smiley face on the Pokémon Egg! (^?^)
"e?(?> ? <)?3 looks much better!" Qi Hao said happily.
[(^?^) Sweet! Happy!] A voice appeared in Qi Hao's mind.
"Wow! Is it haunted??" Qi Hao was startled by the sudden sound, then his ears twitched and he asked in confusion, "(\u003d°w°) Hallucination?"
In the end, Qi Hao still couldn't figure out where the sound came from. Not long after, the Metagross leader brought a bottle of nutrient solution for his wife to drink, and she woke up in no time. Qi Hao was too embarrassed to disturb her, and seeing that it was getting late, he went back.
