I'm popularizing ecology in the Pokémon world.

After the great toucan flew over the heads of the group, Chen Mu and his group, who had been hiding, thought they had successfully avoided the crisis.

Unexpectedly, just as they were about to relax, a sharp, ghostly scream suddenly rang out very close to them.

They were right about one thing: the enemy did indeed employ multiple reconnaissance methods simultaneously, not only sending out Finch to seize high-altitude visibility, but also arranging for Pokémon with other sensory abilities to assist in reconnaissance.

Jubei's prediction was correct.

But they also miscalculated something, a low-probability event that no one could have foreseen—

That was the second Pokémon the enemy sent out to assist in reconnaissance, and it had the Sleep ability!

Pokémon with the ability to stay awake, as the name suggests, cannot fall asleep and can always remain awake.

In this way, Jubei's act of having the straw mushroom scatter mushroom spores around in advance backfired.

Not only did they fail to defend against the opponent, but they also made a bad move by exposing their own position.

The one that was making that sharp cry was a Cursed Doll with the Ghost-type Insomnia ability.

Ghost-type Pokémon generally possess the ability to make their bodies appear intangible, which is why no one had noticed its approach beforehand.

If it doesn't have the Insomnia ability, it will fall asleep upon contact with mushroom spores before it can make a sound—Pokémon move effects aren't something you can simply prevent by stopping breathing.

But this extremely rare coincidence just happened.

This was something no one could have predicted.

Even Chen Mu's psychic power revelation couldn't give him such a precise prediction.

"Damn it!"

Jubei cursed in frustration and immediately threw out a Poké Ball to summon his main Pokémon, Starmie.

Even before him, the adult Ibrahimovic players who had been hiding took action.

Umbreon leaped out of the shadows, opening its massive jaws to viciously bite the Cursed Doll in mid-air.

Terrified, the cursed doll quickly used its "substitute" skill, sacrificing itself to leave behind an identical doll substitute, while the original doll teleported behind it.

Immediately afterwards, a cacophony of voices came from the distant woods.

The trainer of the cursed doll has also arrived.

Moreover, the moment this group appeared, they let out a malicious grin, completely shattering Chen Mu and the others' last shred of hope.

"Aha! It's those guys who were doing live streams in the forest before! They're the ones who've made our lives miserable! The boss said, kill them if you see them!"

At this point, a major battle was ultimately inevitable.

The Rust Gang's hunting party released a large number of Bug-type Pokémon at once!

There are beetles, mantises, beedrills, and even the Sinnoh cricket.

This configuration is not only because Bug-type Pokémon are generally inexpensive, but also because Bug-type Pokémon are effective against both Dark and Grass types.

Faced with these familiar rivals whose attributes were effective against them, the Umbreon and Leafeon in the forest were clearly somewhat flustered.

They had suffered greatly at the hands of the Rust Gang's hunting team in the past, and now, encountering them again, their wounds seemed to ache once more.

Ibrahimovic's cowering and trembling further fueled the Rust Gang's hunting party's arrogance.

They laughed loudly, "Haha! These streamers are such good people, they even brought over the Eevee that we hid in the forest!"

Brothers, hurry up and properly 'thank' them!

At this moment, they didn't take these wild Umbreons and Leafeons seriously at all, treating them as a group of plump prey.

With their elemental advantage and thorough preparation, they seem to have a significant edge and victory in their grasp!

But they forgot that at this very moment, there were people standing behind these wild Eevee!

"Don't be afraid! Don't panic! Umbreon forward, Leafeon back!"

Now that they had been discovered, Chen Mu decided not to hide anymore and loudly restrained the restless and chaotic Eevee.

A breeze had picked up in the woods again sometime earlier.

His voice, carried by the winds of the Viridian Forest, miraculously and swiftly soothed every restless soul around him.

A disorganized, wild Eevee is nothing but a rabble, prey that hunting parties can hunt at will.

But when there are people directing, coordinating, and guiding the Ibrahimovic swarm, that's a completely different story!

These adult Ibrahimovic players are quite strong!

With Umbreon in front and Eevee behind, the scattered group quickly formed the most reasonable battle formation under Chen Mu's coordination!

This wasn't the end of it; Chen Mu's actions continued!

"Umbreon, stand still, don't get lured forward, stay in formation and use Cry!"

"Yeep, retreat and unleash a volley of Leaf Blades!"

Wild elves may have a well-honed advantage in hunting and stealth, but they still lag far behind humans in their understanding of tactics.

In the past, when facing hunting parties, Eevee packs always fought individually, attacking and biting randomly, and were often lured deep into enemy territory and surrounded.

Furthermore, their attributes were countered, so the battle naturally crumbled at the first touch, and they were easily manipulated by the Rust Gang's hunting team.

But now, thanks to Chen Mu's concise and ingenious command, the two Eevee evolutions each performed their duties, working together in a coordinated manner, and quickly straightened out the chaotic and disadvantageous situation!

The resilient Umbreons stand in the front row, protecting the formation—even when facing Bug-type attacks that are super effective against them, their naturally excellent physical and special defense stats allow them to hold out for a while.

Meanwhile, Ye Yibu, who possesses ranged attack capabilities, retreated to the back row and launched a concentrated volley of counterattacks!

At the same time, Chen Mu tried his best to suppress the Umbreon's urge to use its STAB move "Bite" and ordered them to use "Grunt" in place.

If we don't pounce on them, our formation won't be disrupted for a while, and we won't be divided and surrounded by the enemy.

Although "Growl" is a very basic move, it can still disrupt the actions of enemy Pokémon and weaken their physical attack.

This allows the Umbreons in the front row to last longer and stay more stable!

With just two short commands, Chen Mu miraculously quelled the unrest among the Ibrahimovic swarm and stabilized the front line.

It averted a major collapse that was on the verge of erupting!

The members of the Rust Gang hunting team still had their sinister smiles on their faces, which hadn't faded yet and were starting to freeze.

What happened?

Why are these Ibrahimovic packs suddenly so smart today?

And what gives that person the right to command a whole group of Eevee creatures all by himself? Is there no law anymore?

However, Chen Mu was shocked that their operation had only just begun.

The surprises don't stop there!

"Ralts, copy that Arbok's ability and intimidate them! Then use Life Drop to heal the injured Umbreon!"

Chen Mu immediately spotted an old man in the back row who was a warlord.

That Arbok has the Intimidate ability.

This is an excellent feature that is extremely useful in battles. Whether it's street brawls or arena competitions, it's a very common and practical feature.

But the next second—

I can borrow your great features too!

Ralts's ability: Copy, activate!
