Trainer on Dragon's Back

"What are you going to do?" Jiang Bei interrupted.

"I just signed up for an insect competition yesterday. It would be a shame not to participate!" Bai Ze half opened his eyes, his pupils revealing a hint of laziness.

"I've never heard of an insect competition. Is it an event held by a shopping mall or a program hosted by a TV station? Why do you have nothing to do but join in the fun?" Jiang Bei had never heard of it before, but from the literal meaning, it can be seen that only trainers with bug-type Pokémon can participate.

"Rain has nothing to do with you!"

Bai Ze often confronts Jiang Bei online.

Just join if you feel like it, no need to explain.

Maybe it's because I haven't fought for a long time.

During this period of time, he was busy gambling on stones with Qin Li, or taking time to train with Silver Winged Dragon and others in the portable space, or wearing a mask to watch the ranking competition in the Magic City.

A few days ago, he saw the promotional poster for the insect competition, so he decided to sign up for the competition yesterday, just as an opportunity to train the ancient armor.

Ordinary trainers may mistakenly think that the Archaic Armor is a Rockworm, but the ancient Archaic Armor in Bai Ze's hand is not a Rockworm, but a Waterworm... However, no matter what, it is a genuine Bug-type Pokémon.

It does not affect its participation in the insect competition.

Unlike the Fossil Helmet and the Scythe Helmet.

Easy to be questioned.

It is also difficult to explain.

"Oh? You are actually going to participate in that city insect competition? It is held according to the standards of a gorgeous competition, which is different from traditional battles." Qin Li was a little surprised.

"I know, that's why the Ancient Armor wants to participate." Bai Ze wanted to experience the fighting style of the Gorgeous Contest to see if he is suitable for it, because he has watched the animation and his feelings for the Gorgeous Contest have not diminished.

If there is a chance, let him watch the animation again.

I will definitely review Xiaoyao's game.

There is also Xiaoguang's competition.

The charm of the gorgeous competition lies in the elves themselves. The atmosphere is completely different from traditional battles. Only by experiencing it personally can you understand the mystery.

Jiang Bei was not surprised to hear that the insect competition that Bai Ze signed up for was actually the Gorgeous Competition, because there had been signs of this before in the qualifying round. The water waves created by the ancient armor were comparable to those at the first review of the Gorgeous Competition, which impressed his opponent.

Even though today is the last day to register.

Unfortunately, I don’t have any bug-type Pokémon.

There is no way to participate.

Otherwise, the more important thing is participation.

"Find an opportunity to capture a bug-type Pokémon. I think Genesect would be a good choice." Jiang Bei muttered softly while rocking in a rattan chair.

"Why don't you go to heaven? Genesect is the insect god. Let's not talk about whether we can find it or not. Don't tell me you don't know how rare this thing is." After hearing this, Bai Ze couldn't help but discourage Jiang Bei's enthusiasm. Having Xiduolan was not enough.

"You can consider cloning elves. Since Sidolan can be cloned, there may be Genesects in foreign countries." Jiang Bei has sent people to inquire.

"If you hadn't mentioned the cloned elves, I would have really forgotten to tell you something." Bai Ze's expression suddenly became serious, and it was obvious that it was not a trivial matter.

"what's up?"

Jiang Bei couldn't help but feel nervous.

Gollum sat up.

"The essence of cloning technology is to use cells to replicate an elf. However, the cloned cells have an age, just like the original body. For example, your Sidoran is middle-aged when he is born, and his lifespan is shortened." What Bai Ze said did not make sense.

As far as he knew, the lifespan of Dolly the cloned sheep was shorter than that of ordinary sheep. He wondered if the same would be true for the cloned elves, who would not live long.

Chapter 177: Cloning Elves is not allowed

Ah this...

Jiang Bei's heart skipped a beat.

Apparently he didn't realize the disadvantages of cloning elves.

If you want to clone an elf, you have to extract cells from the original body. The genetic material contained in the cells is the same as the original body, and can be regarded as the original body's twin brother or sister, so they have the same age and lifespan.

Generally speaking, cloned elves may experience premature aging, and the worst thing is that they may suffer from various unpredictable diseases.

These special problems are unavoidable.

Cloning technology seems to be omnipotent.

But in fact it violates the laws of evolution of higher organisms.

The slightest carelessness will lead to disaster.

"How long can Xiduolan live? You just said that it was middle-aged when it was born. Does that mean that its original body is in the prime of middle age and its lifespan is halved?" Jiang Bei's face was full of worry. He was very worried that there might be some problems with Xiduolan's physical condition.

"Well, actually the cloned Pokémon has the same age as the original one, but you don't have to worry too much. As a legendary Pokémon, Charmeleon's lifespan is much longer than that of ordinary Pokémon. Even if its lifespan is halved, it will not have much impact. Unless you can live to be 200 years old, it is still unknown whether you can live to that time before it enters its old age." After Bai Ze finished scaring Jiang Bei, he gave Jiang Bei a reassuring pill.

"That's good!" Jiang Bei breathed a sigh of relief.

"You don't know Sidoran, do you?"

"What do you mean?"

"About the birth of Sidoran."

"Hungry--"

Bai Ze rocked the rattan chair leisurely.

Planning to take a short nap.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Bei insisted on continuing to ask.

He really wanted to know the secret of Sidolan's birth.

These are not recorded in the official atlas.

"Tell me quickly!"

"Legend has it that in ancient times, Dialga and Palkia fought, and they used their own powerful forces to violently collide. The fragments that fell from the collision became life forms, and from them, the Heidelbron was born. This statement is still open to discussion."

Bai Ze couldn't defeat Jiang Bei.

Come on in detail.

Even Qin Li found it incredible when he heard it. It turned out that Xiduolan had such an unknown origin. It was a special life form born from the fight between two mythical beasts.

Jiang Bei was extremely surprised by this, and said half-doubtfully: "Is it true? Why do I feel like it's a fairy tale you made up?"

"I wish I had this ability."

"Drink tea, drink tea!"

At night.

They stayed in Qinshe for dinner before leaving.

When the girl at the hotel front desk sees them coming back, she always greets them warmly, but she doesn’t treat other customers like this. I guess she wants to make friends and add them on WeChat.

So being handsome is also a kind of trouble. You don't have to worry about thieves, but you have to worry about girls taking advantage of you. Boys must protect themselves when they go out.

"Tsk tsk, not flirting with girls?" Bai Ze teased.

"Do girls smell as good as elves? If you have time to flirt with girls, you might as well spend more time with elves. Besides, what kind of girl is that? She is older than us and should be called sister." Jiang Bei suspected that Bai Ze's brain was broken. They didn't look like girls at all.

"Slip of the tongue!"

He almost forgot that he was eighteen this year.

Jiang Bei was only seventeen years old.

Maybe it’s because my mental age is too mature.

I still haven't adapted since I came here.

Back in the hotel room, while they were talking, the door to the portable space had already opened. Jiang Bei walked in immediately, and then threw out all the Poké Balls, releasing Shiny Metagross and Kokodraka immediately.

They were almost going crazy staying in the Poké Ball, which was like a small isolation room. Once they came out, they were like wild horses running free, having fun to their heart's content.

"Xiduolan, come here!"

Jiang Bei called out to Xi Duolan worriedly.

Then he worriedly asked Bai Ze to help check its physical condition so that problems could be discovered and solved as early as possible, not daring to be negligent in the slightest.

At his request, Bai Ze used his psychic energy to conduct an in-depth investigation on Xiduolan in person. He didn't know the problem until he checked. As expected, he found that its body had serious hidden complications and could not fully exert the strength that a race value of 600 should have.

At most 80%...

As time goes by, the symptoms become more obvious.

As a result, the strength will also decline.

The most intuitive example now is reflected in the skills mastered by Xiduolan. He currently only knows four skills and does not have the exclusive skill Lava Storm.

It seems that cloning Pokémon has both good and bad things. The good thing is that you can get legendary Pokémon, but the bad thing is that even if you get a legendary Pokémon, there is no guarantee that it will be healthy. After all, it violates the law of evolution of high-level Pokémon.

I heard that.

Jiang Bei was extremely anxious.

Now I can only ask Bai Ze for help.

Money is not important.

What matters is the elves themselves.

"Don't worry!"

"Do you have any idea?"

"I don't have a clue yet."

"Why not try using the super regeneration ability? Maybe it can cure Xiduolan's hidden complications and various physical defects." Jiang Bei had no choice but to pin his hopes on Bai Ze's powerful super regeneration ability.

"To be honest, this is a drawback left by the elf cloning technology. The super-regeneration ability may not be able to resolve it because it involves the genetic level." Bai Ze did not dare to make a guarantee.

"You can try it." Jiang Bei took a breath.

Seat~

Xi Duolan saw this.

He quickly raised his paw to comfort Jiang Bei.

Said he was fine.

Maybe even it doesn't realize that hidden complications are like time bombs buried in the body, which may explode at any time, and even gods cannot save it.

If cloning elves were really that good, the United States would have promoted it extensively long ago, and it would not be hidden from the public and sold secretly on the black market. It is clear that there are many tricks involved, and it is very likely to cause widespread panic.

To be honest, it was ill-considered for Jiang Bei to spend 100 million to capture the Fire Steel Beast, just because it was a legendary elf, and he didn't care about anything else.

There is no other way at this point.

Since Fire Steel Beast has become Jiang Bei's partner.

Then Bai Ze will show his brotherly love to the fullest.

Help if you can.

So he half squatted down.

Shares super regeneration abilities with Theodore through physical contact.

And concentrate your mind and energy to scan continuously.

First deal with the hidden complications within its body.

Eliminating hidden dangers in the body is the most important thing.

Secondly, there are the various defects brought about by cloning technology, which is extremely difficult. It is equivalent to finding errors in the code program and then modifying them.

Seeing Bai Ze working so hard but getting nothing done, the Silver-Winged Dragon standing by was a little restless. Of course, it also hoped that Xiduolan could recover.

If it was just to recover from injuries, it wouldn't require much effort, but the problems left behind by cloning technology had already exceeded his imagination. It was like a garbage code that couldn't be worse. If he wanted to completely repair it, he had to start from the beginning and slowly sort it out.

Big beads of sweat streamed down his cheeks.

The mental consumption is very fast.

As time passes by.
