I'm live-streaming Pokémon science popularization on New World.

He Zhongli stood at attention and saluted, then clearly reported: "Reporting to the leaders, with the assistance and communication of Mr. Lin Dao, Salamence has agreed to assist us in making initial contact and peaceful negotiations with the wild Pokémon groups in the area surrounding Chengdu in the coming period of time."

"Great!" Mayor Zhou on the screen couldn't help but clap his hands first, his face beaming with joy.

This means that the external environmental pressures faced by Chengdu will be greatly alleviated, the safety index will soar, and it also means that in the upcoming wave of Pokémon-related development, Chengdu, with its advantages of being "close to the source" and "the first to successfully establish extensive communication channels with wild Pokémon", is likely to become the focus and development highland of the country and even the world.

The other Chengdu officials also looked delighted, exchanging excited glances.

Zhang Jiye also smiled, but the pragmatic man immediately grasped the key point: "Mr. Lin, this is a major piece of good news."

"So, regarding the 'pilot program for trainers in the military' mentioned last time, if the attitudes of the surrounding Pokémon community soften or even become cooperative, could you provide more specific advice on the initial selection of trainers, tailored to the needs of the military?"

Lin Dao walked to the long table, where He Zhong had already projected a detailed regional ecological map onto the blank wall.

The map uses different colored blocks and icons to indicate the known distribution of Pokémon populations, their strength assessments, and a summary of their habits.

"Based on current accessibility, growth cycle, combat effectiveness cost-effectiveness, and logistical adaptability."

Lin Dao pointed to the northeast side of the map with his laser pointer. "I highly recommend two groups: Beedrill and Spearow."

The laser pointer circled an area at the edge of the forest: "The Beedrill colony has a tight social structure, strong discipline, and is well-suited for teamwork."

"From Weedle to Metapod and then to its final evolution, the growth cycle is short, and the final form has the ability to fly, poison-type attacks, and group tactical awareness. The disadvantage is that the individual defense is relatively weak and it is vulnerable to fire and flying-type attacks."

The pen tip moved to another mountain area: "The Fierce Sparrow clan is highly aggressive and territorial, but once they recognize a partner, their loyalty is exceptional."

"The final evolved form, Finch, possesses considerable physical attack power and stamina, and can carry people for low-altitude reconnaissance and rapid maneuverability. Be aware of the difficulty in taming it and the supply of food in the early stages."

The staff officer behind Zhang Jiye quickly took notes, his eyes shining.

"In addition," Lin Dao pointed to a rocky terrain in the western part of the map.

"If the troops have sufficient resources, we can consider contacting the Armored Rhino tribe. They grow slowly and require special conditions to eventually evolve, but even if they evolve into Armored Tyrannosaurus Rex, they will be heavy ground units with top-notch attack, defense, and carrying capabilities."

"A small number of units can be deployed to form a tactical system that combines light and heavy units with Beedrill and Spearow, and coordinates air and ground attacks."

The officers' eyes lit up even more; the description of the Ironclad Tyrannosaurus Rex seemed tailor-made for certain pain points on the modern battlefield.

"In addition," Lin Dao added a surprise option.

"According to the detection, a sizable group of Magneton has naturally gathered in the special electromagnetic environment around the Three Gorges Dam."

"They are naturally sensitive to electromagnetic fields, possess the ability to levitate and manipulate metal, and may be surprisingly effective in electronic warfare, facility defense, and operations in specific environments. Furthermore, their evolved strength is also formidable."

"Wonderful!" Zhang Jiye couldn't help but slap his thigh, his eyes becoming incredibly eager as he looked at the Magnemite data.

These Pokémon, with their obvious "high-tech" attributes, are extremely attractive to the military.

Seeing that Lin Dao had pointed out several "clear paths" for the army, and each one was so tempting, Li Qiang, the vice minister of the Ministry of Public Security on the screen, couldn't sit still.

He cleared his throat, his tone serious yet tinged with urgency.

"Mr. Lin, your suggestions are very important for the development of the armed forces. However, our public security system faces equally enormous and urgent pressures regarding maintaining order!"

"There are still sporadic incidents every day where Pokémon wander into the city or have conflicts with residents. Our officers lack effective means to deal with these situations, and the risks are very high."

"Could you also recommend some Pokémon suitable for maintaining public order, assisting law enforcement, and at the same time, making it relatively easy to establish stable cooperative relationships with our public security system?"

Director Zhao Lan, who was standing next to him, also spoke up at the right time, her tone calm but her goal clear.

"Mr. Lin, our bureau is responsible for road clearing, preliminary field exploration, and emergency response, and our need for Pokémon partners is equally urgent."

"We need someone with good endurance, who can handle complex terrain and unexpected dangers, and preferably someone with some assistance or control capabilities."

Lin Dao nodded, understanding their needs. He first glanced through the report, then, combining Pokémon's habits with relevant settings from the anime (such as Officer Jenny's Growlithe and certain pairings with Interpol), pointed to a spot on the map and said:

"Minister Li, the most ideal partner for the public security system is actually the Growlithe (Growlithe) family. They are loyal, alert, have a keen sense of smell, and have a majestic and upright appearance, which makes them both intimidating and approachable."

"However, no stable, large populations of Growlithe have been found so far. As an alternative, I suggest trying to contact the Pidgey populations in the forest."

"Compared to the aggressive jacana, the pika is usually more composed, possesses excellent aerial observation and tracking abilities, and is more measured in its attacks, making it suitable for tasks such as patrolling, searching, and surveillance."

Li Qiang nodded as he took notes, noting that air superiority was also important for the police.

"In addition," Lin Dao continued, "the Butterfly population in the Flower Sea area is also worth considering."

"Their psychic abilities, string-shooting, and various powder moves (paralyzing powder, hypnotic powder, etc.) may have unexpected effects in non-lethal control, restricting the actions of suspects, and even calming emotionally agitated individuals (or Pokémon)."

Upon hearing "non-lethal control" and "emotional calming," Li Qiang's interest visibly increased. These were capabilities practically tailor-made for handling sensitive security incidents.

"And then there's the Magnemite I just mentioned," Lin Dao casually added, "their electromagnetic manipulation abilities might also be useful in detecting dangerous items (such as metal explosives), interfering with illegal electronic devices, and even assisting with traffic control."

"Wait!" Zhang Jiye's voice immediately came from the screen, carrying an undeniable determination.

"Mr. Lin, the Magnemite population in the Three Gorges area is of significant strategic importance to our troops and has been included in our priority contact plan! Old Li, could your public security system consider other options? Pidgeotto and Butterfree would be quite good, wouldn't they?"

Li Qiang was displeased upon hearing this, and his eyebrows shot up.

"Zhang Jiye, what do you mean by that! Isn't public security work a strategic necessity?"

"Don't you know how much pressure there is on urban security right now? There are over a dozen Pokémon-related cases every day. Our police officers are dealing with those fire-breathing and electric shock-emitting creatures with just batons and riot shields?"

"Magnemite's electromagnetic waves can effectively interfere with Pokémon's move usage and paralyze criminals. It's currently the safest non-lethal control method! Isn't this serving the country and the people?"

"The need for transformation in the military is even more urgent," a senior colonel behind Zhang Jiye couldn't help but interject.

"The effectiveness of traditional firepower is diminishing! We need to establish new deterrent forces and rapid response systems; this is a matter of national security!"

"But public security is the bottom line for people's livelihood!" another official from the Ministry of Public Security retorted on the other end of the screen. "Good things should be shared, and there should be overall planning!"

"Sharing? How can we share? There are only so many people in a group! We're focusing on the future battlefield environment, it's a national defense requirement!"

"This is also a national security necessity! Do you know how much pressure grassroots police officers are under when dealing with unknown Pokémon? If something happens, it could be a mass incident!"

"We can cooperate in batches and by function..."

"How do you divide it? Aren't the core functions just those?"

The meeting room instantly filled with the smell of gunpowder.

The director of the transportation bureau next to Mayor Zhou muttered quietly, "Actually, our road clearing team also really needs a power-type Pokémon like Rhyperior..."
