Chapter 193 Kangaroo and Another Point
Chapter 193 Kangaroo and Another Point
Ring~ Ring~ Ring~
As the bell rang, all the participants understood that this was the signal to continue the competition. Fortunately, none of the students left their seats.
For some reason, this time Kato Takashi and his group were acting with an air of "it's either you or me." In Xuan Mingtian's eyes, they were desperate after losing.
It makes sense when you think about it, since the start of the competition. Every time, they were the ones who got ahead, causing the teachers and students of the trainer schools to lose face.
Even Principal Fuji, watching from afar, was almost driven to the brink of collapse by Principal Guo. Do you think there's any hope left for them? They probably don't even have the slightest bit of Superman Tiga's thigh hair!
"Hahaha, look, Brother Tian. Their faces have all turned black, it's hilarious!"
Just then, Yang Bin, who was standing next to Xuan Mingtian, spoke in a voice loud enough for even Kato Takashi and the others to hear, as if he wanted everyone present to know that he was putting on a stern face.
However, this also catered to the curiosity of the contestants and the audience, because when he said this, everyone present who heard it turned their attention to the stern-faced man.
"Alright, alright, Bin, you should stop with those sarcastic remarks. Just mention it when you score, no need to keep bringing it up every time. They have a great chance now."
Xuan Mingtian seemed to stop Yang Bin from doing anything further, but in reality, he was letting the latter unleash his trash talk after scoring.
"Brother Tian, you can rest assured. My hands are always on the buttons. As soon as the image appears on the screen, I will react."
As soon as Yang Bin finished speaking, Xuan Mingtian also turned his gaze to the button. He found that, just as Yang Bin had said, his teammates already had their hands on the button. This made him nod in approval, and he sighed, "Truly a bunch of old hands!"
"Dear participants, the break is over. Let's continue with the questions. Are you all ready?"
The referee had barely finished speaking when he immediately switched the screen. While seemingly reminding the participants, he was actually subtly reminding his own school's team members.
As the screen switched, Xuan Mingtian and his teammates immediately pressed the answer button. The speed was as fast as lightning.
"Very good, this time it's Quartz Academy students answering the questions again."
As the referee spoke, his eyes inadvertently glanced at Kato and his team. This single gesture made their faces darken even further. It was clear that the Indigo Academy teachers truly disliked the Trainer Academy students, though this only occurred in their particular arena.
As soon as the image appeared on the computer screen, Xuan Mingtian immediately knew what kind of spirit it was.
"Referee, this Pokémon is named Kangaskhan. It is a Normal-type Pokémon with the Early Bird, Courage, and Hidden Intent abilities. It is approximately 2.2 meters tall and weighs 80 kg. It is a parent-child Pokémon and belongs to the Monster-type Egg group."
(Early Rising: During battle, even if asleep, it will wake up quickly, roughly half the time of other Pokémon. Normally, Pokémon with this ability wake up earlier than others.)
(Courage: Pokémon with this ability can hit Ghost-type Pokémon with moves of this ability, even Normal and Fighting types. As is well known, Normal and Fighting moves are ineffective against Ghost-types, except for Pokémon with the Courage ability.)
(Mental Strength: In battle, the opponent's attacks will not cause the user to flinch. Pokémon with this trait also have better Mental Strength than other Pokémon in daily life. They will also train their Mental Strength regularly.)
The marsupial is mostly brown, with grayish-yellow ears and belly. It has several bulges on its shoulders and legs, and its pouch contains its young.
The baby kangaroo's body is light purple, and the rest of its body is very similar to its mother's.
The baby kangaroo in the giant kangaroo's pouch had grown much larger, with red eyes and a reddish tinge below them. It had developed bulges on its belly and knees, and a spike on its tail. The baby kangaroo did not yet have a pouch.
Kangaskhan are only female; there is no male Kangaskhan corresponding to them.
Marsupials raise their babies in a pouch on their abdomen, and the babies rarely come out. Of course, there are exceptions. For example, when a baby marsupial grows to a certain age, it may leave its mother's pouch on its own when resting or playing.
To avoid putting pressure on the baby in the sac, the baby doesn't lie down while sleeping, but sits upright. If in a safe place, the baby will come out of the sac to play, just as mentioned earlier.
The mother will quietly watch over it. Even if there is only one baby marsupial playing, never try to catch it, because the mother nearby will get very angry.
The baby marsupial will leave its mother after about three years, and only then will the mother call out loudly. There is evidence that this is likely due to the mother's reluctance to leave after years of companionship and her anxiety about the baby marsupial's departure.
Kangasks possess a deep maternal love; they will never give up the fight to protect their babies, no matter how severe their injuries. They will mercilessly strike down anyone who dares to harm their offspring. It is said that they are even fearless of death when it comes to protecting their children.
Evidence suggests that even if only one marsupial is pregnant in the entire population, the other marsupials will act as caretakers while their mother rests.
If any poacher or elf hunter attempts to steal a baby Kangaskhan, they will incur the wrath of the entire Kangaskhan herd. This is comparable to an elf horde attacking a city.
Despite carrying its baby in its pouch, the marsupial moves with remarkable agility. It excels at continuous punches and intimidates opponents with rapid jabs. Records indicate that some childless marsupials have raised children of humans who perished in tragedy.
The super-powerful Kangaroo is so strong because its mother is overjoyed by her child's growth and becomes incredibly motivated. The child, bathed in amazing energy, experiences temporary growth, but is always competitive, causing the mother some concern about its future.
The collaboration between parent and child should not be underestimated. Seeing the child's super-evolved back view reminds the mother of the inevitable day of separation.
Kangasks are a very precious type of creature, once listed as an endangered species. Therefore, various regions relocated them to protected areas, which has led to a significant increase in their population to this day.
"Excellent! Congratulations to our Quartz Academy students for scoring another point. The rest of us need to keep up the good work, or we'll be left with nothing."
After Xuan Mingtian answered the question, the judge immediately made the decision, awarding them another point. It truly lived up to the saying: "First come, first served!"
