He knows Pokémon better than me.

Although Zoroark is a Normal/Ghost-type Pokémon, its bloodline memories allow it to run swiftly in snowy environments, making it naturally adept at such conditions.

Xiao Zhi rushed out, still barefoot.

"It's up to you!"

Seeing that Zoroark, whose brain was being controlled by his lower body, had created some distance, Ash quickly released the boss, Moltres, which he had just subdued a few days ago, and flipped it over.

"Follow me!"

The latter immediately leaped out, its scorching hooves leaving a footprint on the ice with each step, its movements unaffected by the environment.

boom!
During the process, Xiao Zhi also released the Tengju Junior.

So, he was holding Flareon in front of him, with Scorbunny holding him from behind, and he was riding Rapidash.

With the help of three Fire-type Pokémon, Ash, who was barefoot and wearing only shorts and a t-shirt, felt incredibly warm for a moment.

"Listen to my instructions, don't get so close."

By spreading out the aura power and maintaining a sufficient distance to track, Ash told Rapidash to slow down.

Considering his age, Zoroark is actually of age. It's rare for him to have such a refined interest, and Ash doesn't intend to disturb him.

Just follow behind and watch from a distance.

"Terrifying."

The Rapidash, seemingly bewildered, galloped for nearly a kilometer, prompting Ash to secretly marvel at the incredible penetrating power of those wild Zoroark's mating calls.

Until we came to a glacial terrace, located on the west side of Wise Lake.

Zoroark leaped down the hillside, and Ash arrived a few seconds later. He quickly grabbed Rapidash's fiery mane and didn't jump down with it.

Peeking out, I found myself in a sunken valley below, not very deep, and I could see the bottom from the hillside.

The snow-covered ground was interspersed with pine and fir trees whose branches were piled high with snowflakes.

In the darkness of night, the light was dim, and if it were Zoroark in his Unova form, he would be a complete black mass, and nothing could be seen at all.

But this is the Xicui area.

Zoroark, with its emerald-green appearance, has snow-white, fluffy fur with cherry-red edges, resembling cherry blossom will-o'-the-wisps floating in the snow, making it very conspicuous.

"As expected, there are other Zoroarks!"

Ash dismounted from Rapidash and lay on the hillside, peering down without revealing himself.

You can probably see five or six swamp swarms in the snowy forest, each several tens of meters apart, as if they have their own territory.

Their howls rose and fell, sounding jarring and dangerous to humans, but to their own kind, they possessed a strange allure.

Ash's Zoroark rushed up to one of the wild Zoroarks, panting and looking extremely excited.

"Were you attracted to that female Zoroark?"

Even in the middle of the night, Xiao Zhi was still able to eat melons (gossip/gossip), and his sleepiness instantly vanished as he watched with great interest.

Zoroark had his body checked before he even evolved.

It has eggs; it's male.

The wild Zoroark's eyes lit up when it saw that its voice had attracted a beautiful purple Zoroark.

Ordinary Pokémon may reject or even bully shiny individuals of their kind.

But Zoroark is different. These Pokémon are inherently rebellious, and shiny individuals are highly regarded within their species.

"Solo!"

The wild female Zoroark stopped calling out, licked her lips, and made no attempt to hide her burning desire and greed in her eyes.

Every year at this time, adult female Zoroark emits a call to attract mates, summoning other suitable individuals to complete the great task of the clan. Unexpectedly, today they summoned a truly captivating and charming young lady!
Similarly, Ash's Zoroark stared intently at its opponent with burning eyes.

Unable to contain his impulse, he pounced and hugged the female Zoroark.

"Solo~! (Mommy~!)"

Just as the female Zoroark was about to respond, her expression changed drastically upon hearing the call.

Why would someone call another person "Mom" when they meet them?

It feels a bit perverted.

"Zoro, Solo~!"

However, Ash's Zoroark held on tightly, calling out "Mama, Mama" over and over again.

This caused a surge of guilt in Zoroark, whose lust had been rising, and he quickly pushed her away, hunching over and shouting:
"Solo!!"

She's a virgin, she's never laid a single egg, so don't call her "Mom"!

"Solo?"

Zoroark stared blankly at the other, not understanding why the latter had suddenly bared his teeth.

It wasn't attracted by the moans of its mate.
Instead, he sensed a familiar aura, a strange connection from his bloodline.

The female Zoroark before him was his mother!
Ash: "??"

From a distance of about a hundred meters, he couldn't hear anything that was happening below. He just stared in bewilderment at the two foxes that had been hugging each other a moment ago, and then suddenly they turned fierce.

Is my Zoroark really that bad?

"Solo!!!"

Just as the two sides were locked in a stalemate, a long howl suddenly came from the direction of the snow forest not far away, this time filled with intense anger.

Ash quickly looked closely and saw another Zoroark, which looked like it had been washed in green, run out and angrily landed between the two.

"Huh? What does this Zoroark look like?"

He squinted and noticed that although most of the fur on the Zoroark's body was still dark red at the tips, the fur on its head and heels had strange purple tips.

It's like a flash of light, but only half of it flashed?
"Does such a thing even exist?"

Ash was taken aback. When applied to Gyarados, the upper body was deep red, while the lower body remained blue.
But you know what? This mix of colors makes Soroyal look even more sinister on him.

"Judging from its voice, it's a male. Is it trying to compete for the same female Zoroark?"

Seeing the half-shining Zoroark raising its claws towards him, seemingly ready to attack at any moment, Ash wasn't too flustered.

His Zoroark is now fully grown and can hold his own even in a two-on-one situation.

To Ash's great surprise, his Zoroark did not attack; instead, it pounced on the male Zoroark and gave it a big hug.

Xiaozhi: "?"

Mr. Wang Luo probably didn't find the eggs in the Johto region, did he?
Zoroark, the mixed-color creature, was stunned when it was suddenly hugged by a fellow male. It was a straight man, after all!
It's worth noting that it had been eyeing this female Zoroark for a long time.

He had even collected many of the latter's favorite sparkly gems, and was preparing to acquire them all tonight for in-depth discussions.

Its two-tone fur is quite popular among its kind.

Suddenly, a purebred purple-haired individual appeared, even more beautiful than it, and it was ready to make a big splash.

Judging from the latter's tone, it seemed as if he was referring to himself.
dad?

Wait a minute, it's still an innocent girl! (End of Chapter)
