I'm popularizing ecology in the Pokémon world.

Chapter 105 The Charm of the Illustrated Guide

The rain still hadn't stopped over Cerulean City that day.

Watari and his team of investigators, who had gone out, have not yet returned.

Meanwhile, on the rooftop of a high-rise hotel in Hualan City, two men in diving suits were braving the rain to look through binoculars, gazing at the distant sea and exchanging words.

Both sides harbored considerable resentment during the conversation.

"The dilapidated ships they managed to summon were all driven away; they didn't even have time to summon the poisonous algae dragons. Is this what you call the little-known overlord of the sea?"

"What can I do? It's Lance, the Dragon Knight! What Pokémon can I summon to stop a League Champion? Kyogre?"

Do you think I have that ability? On the contrary, it's you! You keep saying this is a series of interconnected schemes, one link after another, that Cerulean Dojo could never break it! Then why are you panicking like this now?"

"Why should I panic? I'm not panicking at all! I said they can't crack it, and they can't crack it! So what if they find out the cause of the ghost transformation?"

They can't possibly find the real reason why the sun corals fled near the coast! Those "striped hands" only operate on rainy days and at night; no one can find them!

"You were just as confident when you swore that no ecologist could possibly reach Cerulean City alive!"

......

After an awkward silence, the man spoke again: "I admit I underestimated that internet celebrity professor who likes to show off his knowledge in live streams, but there are over a thousand kinds of Pokémon in the world, and I don't believe anyone can have studied all of them in depth!"

Even Yukiaki, the academic giant of the Kanto region, needs to rely on Pokédex holders to help him collect Pokémon data. I don't believe that anyone in this world can know everything about Pokémon that have never appeared in their region!

Just watch, they definitely won't find those "killers" in the sea, because these little cuties have never appeared in the waters near Kanto!

After another awkward silence, the other person finally spoke up, speechless: "Are you really that confident? Why did you drag me to the rooftop to get soaked in this downpour?"

"Shut up!"

At the same time, inside the Cerulean Gym, Chen Mu, after confidently observing the condition of the Corsola, fell into deep thought.

He was searching for memories of his past life.

He had truly exhausted his knowledge reserves since his transmigration and could no longer find any helpful information.

Just as the unknown troublemaker on the rooftop of a building dozens of kilometers away guessed: it is impossible for any scholar to have studied Pokémon that have never existed in this region.

But Chen Mu's advantage lies in the fact that he also possesses a mysterious memory bank that is unknown to others.

Fortunately, in his previous life he happened to be a hardcore gamer who liked to randomly browse through game encyclopedias in his spare time.

As he flipped through the pages, he actually found a glimmer of inspiration!

"I have a guess. Have you ever heard of a Pokémon called Zephyr?"

"Good or bad stars?"

Everyone was momentarily stunned; this elf seemed rather obscure.

It wasn't until Xiaoxia used the search function of the dojo's think tank that she found the relevant information.

"Good-Bad Star is a Poison/Water-type Pokémon. According to data, they are only found along certain coastlines of the Alola, Legar, and Padia Leagues. It is an extremely rare and unpopular Pokémon."

Because they have never appeared in the waters around Kanto and Johto, there is very little information available. The database only shows that they are nocturnal Pokémon that live on the seabed near the coast. They mainly feed on sea urchins and shellfish. Their spines are poisonous and can easily injure people if accidentally caught, so they are often disliked by local fishermen.

As for other information, it remains unknown.

After reading through all the information she could find, Xiaoxia looked up and asked, "What's wrong with this Pokémon?"

The obscurity of the Good and Bad Stars is even more exaggerated than the dilapidated ship encountered on the previous crossing.

If it weren't for the fact that this Pokémon is a Water-type, it probably wouldn't be included in the Cerulean City Gym's database.

In the Kanto region, most people probably haven't even heard of this Pokémon's name.

Because they are neither lovable nor powerful, and are poisonous and disliked, they have absolutely no chance of causing any trouble.

The general public is unaware of this, and scholars are unlikely to study it.

But Chen Mu just happened to know them!

Because he had caught even the most obscure and unpopular Pokémon when he completed the game in his previous life.

This is the moment when the encyclopedia player is truly captivated!

"I suspect that this Pokémon is very likely the culprit behind this crisis!"

There are significant regional differences among Pokémon, with their diets varying greatly from region to region. However, there is a type of Pokémon found in the Alola region whose primary food source is the branches atop Corsola's heads!

Chen Mu remembered information he had seen while playing games in his previous life: the good and bad stars in the Legar region eat Pami sea urchins, while the good and bad stars in the Alola region eat Coral Sun!

Even in the game, it was said that Starmie was an unpopular type of Pokémon, which shows how miserable their situation was.

But at this moment, Chen Mu remembered only them.

Furthermore, a fairly specific description was given: "The evolved form of the Good-Bad Star is the Superbad Star, which possesses the ability to unleash toxic 'acid bombs,' which is very likely the source of the corrosion marks we discovered on the broken branches of the Sun Coral."

This only amplified everyone's surprise and admiration.

"Professor Chen, you even know about the move pool of such an uncommon Pokémon? That's amazing!"

After all, people in this world don't have access to the Pokémon encyclopedia from Chen Mu's previous life if they want to look up the common move pool of a certain type of Pokémon.

Studying the skills that a class of Pokémon can learn, master, and inherit is a complex research project that is likely to take more than a decade or even several decades.

The conclusions may be updated repeatedly with the changing times.

For example, whether Garchomp can learn "Dragon Dance" is still a subject of debate in the academic world. Is it that this group is destined not to be able to learn it, or is it that the individuals studied in the past were simply not good enough?

As time went on, Chen Mu increasingly realized just how valuable the game knowledge he had from his previous life was!

Fortunately, not long after he transmigrated, he used the ecological points given by the system to exchange for a memory enhancement.

Looking back now, that decision was absolutely the right one!

Those cherished memories from the past are now benefiting him greatly time and again.

Even Xiaoxia then asked, "So, what methods do we have to counter this?"

Chen Mu was able to confidently come up with solutions.

"Since it's a biological invasion, we can counter it using the same biological methods! My suggestion is to immediately import a batch of mottled wrasse from the Alola region for release!"
