I'm popularizing ecology in the Pokémon world.

Chen Mu quickly stopped the cameraman and explained to the Magnemite's camera.

"Here I would also like to give all quartz trainers a serious piece of advice: it is best not to kick up grass or bushes in the wild, as this is a very bad habit."

As Chen Mu walked quickly over, he continued to explain, "I know that many trainers received similar guidance when they were in school—that they must pay attention to the grass they pass by in the wild so as not to miss any wild Pokémon."

However, I would like to say that this kind of experience is actually region-specific. I would not recommend doing this in Kanto and Johto.

"Because Grass-type Pokémon in our Indigo League regions are generally quite timid,"

As he spoke, Chen Mu squatted down, pretending to carefully examine the bushes.

But in reality, he had already received a revelation the moment he stopped it, and knew the "answer" in advance.

Psychic power, isn't that amazing?

However, while putting on an act, his popular science explanations never stopped.

"There's a type of grass that's a local specialty, a poison-type Pokémon called Oddish. They're the epitome of being timid and easily startled."

This Pokémon is nocturnal, generally only active at night. During the day, it likes to dig a hole, bury itself in the soil to rest, and only a few leaves on its head are exposed.

When necessary, they will also change the color of the leaves on their heads according to the surrounding environment in order to achieve better camouflage.

Because they are timid, they often choose to hide their digging holes in dense bushes or haystacks during the day.

When you pass by and kick the grass during the day, they won't jump out immediately; most of the time, they'll just cower in the soil, trembling with fear.

They would wait until nightfall to pull themselves out of the ground and then flee the dangerous place as soon as possible.

Pokémon are very intelligent, with IQs far exceeding those of ordinary animals. As a result, they retain memories of injuries for longer and interact with each other more frequently.

If Oddish are frequently frightened in the same area, their entire population may choose to migrate after communicating with each other, leaving the area permanently.

This is undoubtedly a huge loss to the local ecosystem.

As he spoke, Chen Mu's acting came naturally to the scene.

"Look! We're lucky this time. There really is a walking grass under this bush. Look here with the camera."

Upon receiving the command, the floating Magnemite immediately operated the camera, aiming the lens at the spot Chen Mu was pointing at.

After zooming in, you can indeed see several different leaves hidden in the bushes, sticking out of the soil and swaying slightly, as if they are shivering.

When Chen Mu first started explaining, the live stream chat was sparse, with only a few bland comments occasionally appearing.

"Really?"

"I don't understand it, but it sounds impressive."

But when the camera zoomed in and captured those few vivid and unique leaves, the comments section exploded instantly!

"Holy crap?!"

"What incredible luck this streamer has! There are actually Oddish grass in Viridian Forest?"

"I can't accept this!!! Why have I never encountered Oddish in Viridian Forest?"

"Grass refers to a type of Pokémon!"

There were also a few viewers who had been watching since the show started, and they were now using their memory recall ability to gloat over the "dug-up" of the show.

"Where's that clever guy who posted the colored comment saying there are only insects, mice, and birds in Viridian Forest? Come out and say something!"

"Where's that colorful barrage of comments? Stop playing dead!"

"Speak up, Kuroko!!"

If even online viewers are so agitated, one can imagine how shocked Chen Mu's companions must be.

Jubei was completely stunned.

The students excitedly took photos and exclaimed in disbelief.

"Teacher Chen, you're amazing! You actually found an Oddish! We must have been blessed by Jirachi, right?"

Jirachi, also known as the Lucky Star, is a mythical creature that symbolizes wishes and good fortune.

The cameraman, who was being stopped by Chen Mu, was at a loss and kept rubbing his hands.

Chen Mu could understand their excitement, but he still made a shushing gesture.

"Shh, keep your voice down, don't scare the little guys in the field."

He then continued to explain in a low voice, educating the many viewers in the live stream who were just laughing along without understanding the inside story.

"Although Oddish is not particularly rare and has been artificially bred since the beginning of this century, its existence plays a vital role in stabilizing the wild ecosystem."

Their first stage of evolution is called Gloom, which is like a pillar of strength in the forest ecosystem.

The stamen on the top of Gloom's head can secrete sweet nectar, which is a favorite food of almost all Grass, Bug, and Flying-type Pokémon. As long as they are there, there is no shortage of Pokémon in the forest.

At the same time, their body odor can effectively drive away overly greedy predators, maintaining the stability and balance of the entire ecosystem.

This elf has two evolutionary forms in its third stage: Vega and Bellossom.

When there are many predators in the forest and the overall survival of the species is relatively dangerous, wild Gloom is more likely to evolve into the fierce Vileplume to fight against those carnivorous Pokémon.

Conversely, when the overall survival of the species is relatively comfortable, Gloom is more likely to evolve into a pure Grass-type Flower.

This biased evolutionary selection is yet another powerful adjustment to the local ecology.

After this long explanation, Chen Mu directed the Magnemite to rotate the camera, capturing the excited expressions of the surrounding students.

"Now you all understand why my students are all so excited, right?"

The discovery of Oddish in Viridian Forest is undoubtedly a very good omen, meaning that our research has taken another big step forward!

"As long as these shy little creatures are willing to stay in this area, I believe Viridian Forest will definitely regain its vitality in the future."

This time, not only the students and viewers in the live stream, but even the usually composed Jubei couldn't help but clench his fists in excitement.

Considering how much importance the boss attaches to this forest project, Jubei could almost see himself getting a promotion and a raise, becoming an organization leader, marrying a beautiful and wealthy woman, and reaching the pinnacle of his life.

"So, how can we keep Oddish? Do we need to capture it?"

He asked somewhat impatiently.

Chen Mu shook his head and said, "If we want to restore the ecosystem, we naturally do not recommend capturing and taking away newly discovered Pokémon, and it is best not to disturb their survival in the wild."

My suggestion is to sprinkle some sweet water nearby.

During the day, the walking grass buried in the soil can absorb water and nutrients from the soil like a plant.

Sprinkling them with a nutrient solution containing sugar helps them develop and also lets them know we mean no harm.

As soon as he finished speaking, Jubei responded, "I understand."

He then stepped aside and started making a phone call.
