I'm popularizing ecology in the Pokémon world.

Another day passed uneventfully.

In the forest, Chen Mu and his group were ready to set off.

Outside the forest, the Rust Gang was also ready and was on their way.

In just one day, the leader of the Rust Gang felt like he had almost shaved his head bald.

He can't understand!

"Damn it! What kind of divine law have we broken?!"

Now, not only are they wanted everywhere, but the people involved in the arrest are all incredibly high-profile!

"Have we offended Arceus, or angered Giratina? Is it really worth alarming Azure and Lance joining forces to kill us?"

The leader of the Rust Gang was on the verge of tears. He just wanted to ask: Are we worthy?

At this point, one of his underlings, oblivious to the awkwardness, reminded him, "Boss, it seems the problem started because a streamer exposed our..."

The eldest brother angrily grabbed a Poké Ball from the table and threw it at the target.

"Do I need you to remind me? Do I need you to tell me anything?! What the hell are you talking about?!"

The Poké Ball bounced off my little brother, releasing a Wobbuffet that immediately made a very fitting sound upon entering the fray—

"So-Nas!"

The name "Sonas" sounds like "saying hammer," which is quite amusing.

It's a pity that no one dared to actually laugh at this moment.

After catching his breath for a while, the leader of the Rust Gang finally calmed down and asked.

"How's the communication with overseas teams going? Has Team Aqua in Hoenn responded yet?"

He couldn't stay in Shijing any longer; their only option was to flee overseas.

The younger brother reported back, "The ocean team said they could meet us at sea, but we would need to find a way to escape the coastline with our supplies ourselves. They wouldn't risk going to the nearshore waters a hundred miles offshore to retrieve us."

Hoenn's ocean teams are very powerful at sea, even daring to target the deep-sea overlord Kyogre, but they don't dare to come ashore and provoke the Indigo League.

After human civilization in this world entered the modern era, Quartz, Hoenn, Sinnoh, Unova, and Kalos have always been the five strongest leagues on this planet.

The Padilla League in the Southern Hemisphere, despite its rapid rise in recent years, is still a latecomer.

The Galar League, isolated overseas, has seen the rise of champion Leon, but its overall strength is still far from being among the top tier.

As for the Alliance Alola on the islands, the Alliance Fire in the mountains, and the Alliance Almia at the foot of the snow-capped mountains, they can only be considered small regional countries.

Therefore, one of the subordinates worriedly said, "Are we really going to flee to Hoenn? The official strength of the Hoenn League isn't much weaker than that of the Quartz League. Maybe we should go to a smaller league instead?"

The leader of the Rust Gang couldn't help but tug at his hair again, his eyes red as he said, "Do you think we still have time? Do we?! Do you think those people on the outside can stop Qinglu, or do you think that we, the group of people in the house, tied together, can slip away right under Du's nose?"

The younger brother who had offered the suggestion immediately fell silent.

The leader of the Rust Gang loosened his tie, as if he were suffocating from the terrible situation.

"The Whirlpool Sea is just south of the Viridian Forest, and that's the closest place, so we'll set sail from there!"

"If necessary, abandon all the outposts around Viridian! Get the Eevee hunting party in the forest back quickly; take as many as you can. Let's leave Indigo Blue as soon as possible!"

The Rust Gang leader's heart was bleeding as he said this.

He had been running his business in Viridian City for so many years, and even losing to the Rockets more than 30 years ago hadn't made him consider leaving. He never expected that today he would be forced to abandon everything and leave his hometown by a small streamer.

"Please don't let me run into that scoundrel, or I'll definitely kill him!" The Rust Gang swore fiercely in their hearts.

But sometimes, fate is like a bridge, connecting unexpected people and things.

At this point, the Rust Gang abandoned their illusions and withdrew completely. The hunting team that was originally deployed to intercept Ibu's return home in the north of the forest received orders to head south, intending to sneak through the forest, run to the bay in the south, and then escape by sea.

Meanwhile, Chen Mu and his group in the forest were heading north with the surviving Eevee, also planning to cross the forest and enter the Quartz Plateau from the north.

The two teams, one in the south and one in the north, were simultaneously traversing the forest.

The Viridian Forest is very large.

But sometimes fate is just that strange.

Sometime on the afternoon of the third day, Chen Mu's psionic power was triggered again, giving him a warning that danger was about to befall him!

"Oh no, someone's coming! Quick, get young Eevee and hide!"

He didn't have time to fabricate his own judgment, so he directly stated the countermeasures.

Fortunately, everyone now trusts him very much, and no one questioned him in advance. Everyone immediately took action.

The cameraman, disregarding the damage to the equipment, decisively abandoned the camera in the bushes and then temporarily put the Magnemite back into its Poké Ball.

Sakura also temporarily took back Growlithe.

Only Ralts, taking advantage of its young age and small size, didn't return the ball but instead nimbly slipped into Chen Mu's clothes.

As for the Eevee pack, although they haven't established a capture relationship yet, these intelligent elves can understand the current situation and instructions simply by observing the actions of their human companions, and they are just as quick to react as they are to conceal their presence.

Umbreon and Leafeon picked up their babies, then each used their unique abilities to disappear from sight as if blending into the forest, becoming one with their surroundings.

Finally, Jubei made sure to use the last bit of time to add a safety measure.

"Lithops mushroom, scatter some mushroom spores around. Be careful not to accidentally hurt your own people."

Besides Starmie, Breloom is also one of Jubei's main Pokémon.

Mushroom spores are one of Breloom's signature moves, which can instantly put Pokémon that inhale mushroom spores to sleep.

Among the various hypnotic skills, mushroom spores have the highest success rate and the fastest effect, making them a veritable remedy for insomnia. In battles, they have always been synonymous with "quality".

Unfortunately, very few Pokémon can learn this skill; only mushroom-type Pokémon have the opportunity to learn it, which greatly limits its appearance rate in the arena.

Otherwise, "hypnotic powder" and "hypnosis" are just for fun. If you really want to bring a smile to your opponent's face, you'll have to rely on my mushroom spores.

Jubei took this measure to prevent the enemy from sending out Pokémon with keen sense of smell to search for targets by scent.

Thanks to Chen Mu's psychic revelation, they had taken the avoidance measures to the extreme in advance.

Sure enough, a few seconds later, a large-billed finch with an unusual flight path spread its wings and flew over the heads of the crowd!

That was the scout elf sent out by the Ironclad Gang hunting team heading south.

"Phew, we dodged it? Thank goodness for Teacher Chen."

After the big-billed finches flew overhead, the students who had been hiding all breathed a sigh of relief.

Although we still don't know the specifics of what happened, it seems like we've escaped danger.

Teacher Chen is truly amazing!

Just as the students were having this thought, the next moment, no one expected that an accident would happen unexpectedly!
