*Xenoic had a cold yet somehow thoughtful face, like a broken toy who kept on smiling*
Although a minute had passed after Tianlong had explained his situation, it felt like hours before Xenoic finally spoke,
"This.... patient of yours", Xenoic continued attempting to be as professional as possible, " is a unique individual. Shiny pokemon are the result of an extreme mutation, possible complications/attributes with the parents of the subject, or pure luck of the draw during the development in the egg. A shiny individual is shown to have a unique genetic make-up which has shown to affect the appearance of a pokemon which changes the chemicals in a pokemon's skin and thus everything else about the pokemon. Well this means that although shiny individuals have shown to be more likely to have unusual affinity towards types that may not be their typing, they are also much more susceptible to genetic diseases and other various bodily issues. It is likely to assume that your Luxelong has a rare degenerative disease called "Manganese Deficiency" which is as you have figured out only affects pokemon. This is because shiny Luxelong has been known to have bright red/pink colors instead of the usual green. The chemical , Manganese, has been shown to exude red-pinkish colors when burned which is not naturally found in nature. It is safe to assume that possible construction near the Luxelong egg may have construction of Manganese material and thus filling the extreme mutation requirement. Every pokemon has an affinity for a chemical which is why there is one one kind of shiny for every pokemon. Any other chemical would not have worked. Because Luxelong are naturally green, they produce the necessary chemicals to be green. A shiny pokemon, if their body didn't adapt correctly, would eventually deteriorate since their body isn't producing the necessary chemicals to stay stable and alive. There is no known cure since any attempts to artificially inject the chemical has resulted in the body rejecting the chemical. This is why your Luxelong's biochemistry is out of whack. Now your suggestion to change the body would be a logical step but as no known official cases have been done, I cannot be sure about anything as we are slowly heading towards theoretical scenarios. To do this I am going to need to actually fabricate the body to suit a Luxelong's needs, which includes organs and create a spliced mixture of human and Luxelong DNA. Now to do this, not only will I need time but, I require DNA of possibly many pokemon to bridge the gap between the Luxelong and human genome. Also I will need an extensive lab with many precise and experiment instruments which I will give you the catalogue for when I figure out what I need and. I can go into more detail about the process later as time is key. Luckily, pokemon are very resilient creatures so I'm sure she still has at the very least atleast a month ahead of her."
*Xenoic pauses to catch a breath and review what he had just said*
"Now I am going to accept your request, just so you know this is very exciting for me as this is new genetic breakthroughs we could be doing. Not to kill your hopes but, this is highly theoretical and unlikely to go smoothly at all and considering the time frame.... Things might not turn out the way you want."
