I'm popularizing ecology in the Pokémon world.

Chapter 120

The wild lacrosse then carried Chen Mu and Shanedo to the shore.

Little Eevee then swam ashore on its own, looking dejected, and approached Chen Mu's feet, its tail drooping listlessly to the ground.

Gardevoir felt very apologetic upon seeing this, so she stepped forward, picked up Eevee, and pressed her forehead against Eevee's head, conveying her apology through her mind.

I'm sorry, I yelled at you in the water just now.

Although it was just a very brief apology, it instantly dispelled the barrier in Little Eevee's heart, causing its drooping fish tail to wag happily again.

No matter what, Eevee always has the personality of a little angel.

Even though Gardevoir's extremely dangerous killing intent provoked them, all they needed afterward was an apology to make up.

Sometimes Chen Mu worries that Xiao Yibu's kind and gentle personality might make him vulnerable to being bullied.

Fortunately, such a thing will never happen to him.

Not long after they landed, the ninjas from the dock arrived.

"Professor Chen, are you alright?"

P

"I'm fine, nothing's wrong."

"That's good. The Team Plasma member you knocked down has already been handed over to Misty's Pokémon to take back."

"I know, let's leave it to the dojo to handle."

The two ninjas hesitated, but ultimately said nothing.

They actually intended to leave one of the disciples to interrogate them themselves, so that the Rockets could obtain firsthand information.

Unfortunately, he encountered Chen Mu, who pretended to be stupid but was actually very perceptive.

Chen Mu wouldn't get involved in something like that.

Anyway, it wasn't his initiative to ask the ninja to protect him all the way. At this moment, Chen Mu was just like a scumbag, who neither took the initiative nor refused, and then didn't take responsibility afterward.

The Rockets were completely exposed.

But the crimson ninja simply couldn't do anything about him.

This incident has once again demonstrated Chen Mu's knowledge and abilities! The value he has demonstrated is destined to once again deeply shock the attention of all sectors of society.

The two ninjas could easily guess that after this crisis, Team Rocket would not only not give up on recruiting Chen Mu, but would most likely continue to increase their bets!

What else can they do?

I have no choice but to forgive him.

"Then we'll take you back, Professor Chen."

"Okay, then I'll trouble you."

After agreeing, Chen Mu waved goodbye to Chenglong, who had saved him twice, and promised to visit him at the beach again in a while.

This suddenly appearing dragon seems to have many secrets, and besides, he was caught off guard by the two times it saved his life and hadn't prepared anything today. He would have to repay it in the future.

"Hoo hoo"

The dragon responded with a melodious, song-like cry, then turned its head, moved its four fins under its belly, and disappeared into the horizon in the blink of an eye.

Finally, Chen Mu was able to leave this turbulent coast.

Back at my place, I took a hot shower, changed out of my soaking wet clothes, put on dry ones, and made myself a hot cup of coffee.

Then pick up the Eevee that has reverted to its Eevee form, take the hairdryer, turn it on, and dry the fur of the Eevee that has just had a bath.

This kind of rest made Chen Mu feel extremely relaxed and peaceful.

By the time the person and their two Pokémon had finished resting and recovered, it was already evening.

Chen Mu had already given up on going out and was planning to order takeout for dinner when Lian Ying suddenly opened the door and called out, "Teacher, Teacher! They need you to go to the dojo!"

Chen Mu helped Lian Ying, who was panting as she ran over, and was about to refuse, saying that they could talk about it tomorrow, until Lian Ying added another sentence.

"Champion Adu is back."

Not long after, Chen Mu returned to the Hua Lan Dojo.

Along the way, more and more gym trainers took the initiative to greet him.

Good evening, Mr. Chen!

"Mr. Chen, have you eaten? We'd like to invite you to dinner!"

"Professor Chen, thank you for your help to Hualan City!"

Chen Mu nodded in response to each one until they arrived at a conference room and met Adu, whom he hadn't seen in a long time.

At this moment, Adu's hair, shoulders, and trouser legs were still wet, clearly indicating that he had just come back from outside and hadn't had time to go back and change.

Upon seeing Chen Mu return, Adu's expression suddenly became extremely complicated, and he immediately spoke.

"Professor Chen, I never expected to lose so badly on my first bet. You really beat me by a lot this time."

Chen Mu was stunned for a moment, still wondering how to respond to such high praise, when Xiaoxia patted his shoulder and helped defuse the situation.

"Don't be nervous, he's just joking with you. Relax, he's lost to Crimson countless times before, we're all used to it, you don't need to think too much about it, you don't need to take his words to heart."

Adu's expression stiffened slightly when his secret was suddenly exposed. He said, "I was genuinely praising Professor Chen. Also, I haven't lost to Chihong that many times! We're evenly matched, and I often beat him."

Anyone else might have been intimidated by Adu, but he was facing Xiaoxia!

One of the companions who personally witnessed Chi Hong's entire journey from humble beginnings to the top.

"A 50/50 chance means you can only win in exhibition matches, but you lose all your open matches and official duels?"

A-Du blushed and mumbled some incomprehensible words, "What do you mean by 'an entertainment match' not considered a win?" An entertainment match is still a very serious battle, and for a moment the room was filled with a joyful atmosphere.

After laughing and joking for a while, A-Du finally spoke up and retorted to Xiao-Xia, "Just a few days ago you were frowning and pacing around the table in a panic, and now that things are resolved, you're making fun of me?"

Xiaoxia puffed out her chest and proudly patted Chen Mu on the shoulder.

"Of course! Chen Mu was a great help this time, unlike a certain champion who spent several days at sea with little to show for it, and even missed the most crucial battle in the city."

Du was left speechless by the teasing.

Only Chen Mu could manage a bitter smile.

He was certainly happy that Xiaoxia had recovered, but what did it mean that the conversation always revolved around him?

Left with no other choice, he took the initiative to speak, changing the subject: "Did Champion Adu discover anything on his trip to the open sea? Why did it take so long? Is the Plasma Team plotting something in the open sea?"

Besides trying to shift the topic away from himself, this was indeed something Chen Mu was curious about and wanted to ask.

He originally thought that the Plasma Team had some other conspiracy in the open sea, which was why they had delayed Du, the champion. This was also the reason why Chen Mu rushed over immediately.

He feared that this incident was not over yet, that there were still unresolved crises brewing in the open sea, and that the many misfortunes of the Hualan fishing grounds were not yet over.

After all, from the moment he boarded the Saint-Téné, this trip had nothing to do with a vacation, as various crises never stopped along the way.

Unexpectedly, when A-Du spoke, the information he gave was a mixed bag.

The good news is that the crisis should really be over.

The bad news is that Chen Mu's overtime work probably won't end anytime soon.

"Team Plasma's conspiracy should be over. After the investigator team and I went out to sea, we drove away a group of ghost Pokémon. We can be basically sure that they were just wild ghosts. We did not find anyone causing trouble in the dark."

Upon our return, we learned that those were likely manipulated by the captured Officer Jenny family member using the power of truth.

However, we discovered something after that.

"What's wrong?" Chen Mu asked curiously.

"Some ghost Pokémon that were lured to migrate to the vicinity of Cerulean City seem to have no intention of leaving even after escaping the influence."

It has also established a certain symbiotic relationship with the local marine Pokémon.

So I came back to ask you, Professor Chen, will these Pokémon migrations have any impact on the local ecosystem?
