I'm popularizing ecology in the Pokémon world.

The mountain goats were fast-moving, and a few hours later, Chen Mu and his group had left the starting town and set foot on the vast and boundless plateau wilderness.

Once you're away from the city, your view becomes incredibly expansive.

The sky was azure and pure, as if it could purify one's soul.

The distant mountains resemble a giant dragon coiled near the horizon. It is springtime, and the forests on the mountainside are lush and green, while the peaks are still covered with snow.

This long mountain range that separates the Quartz Plateau is the famous Mt. Shirogane!

Baiyin Mountain is not a single mountain, but a continuous mountain range stretching over three thousand kilometers!

The southernmost starting point connects to the Evergreen Forest, which is still in the subtropical monsoon climate zone, while at the northernmost point, the foot of the mountain is already in the cold temperate climate zone. It is an extremely long mountain range that spans multiple temperature zones.

Looking into the distance, you can see herds of yaks grazing leisurely on the grassland at the foot of the mountain, with a few Tauren among them.

"Look! There's a Tauros!"

The lively Minami was the first to spot the herd of cattle in the distance, and excitedly stood up on her goat mount.

The accompanying trainer, Yuzuru, quickly stopped her.

"Don't get excited, sit down first!"

The goats, understanding their intentions, carried them toward the meadow.

During the journey, Qinglian asked, "Those Tauros don't seem to look the same."

Minami excitedly raised her hand and said, "I know the answer to this question! It's about the different regional forms of Tauros! I saw it in a Pokémon Geography magazine."

Chen Mu smiled gently and nodded encouragingly, "That's right. Tauros's form varies far more in different regions than Ekans, which we introduced earlier, to the point that it completely changes its attributes."

Therefore, unlike Ekans, which is classified as a subspecies within the same Pokédex, Tauros' regional forms are directly divided into four different Pokédex species.

The earliest known original species of Tauros was registered in our Kanto region in the Pokédex, and its type is Normal.

The other three species are all registered in the Padiya region and are generally called the Fighting Species, the Fire Species, and the Water Species.

Black Knight, who dreams of becoming a trainer in the future, also has a lot of knowledge in this area, and continued the conversation.

"I remember that the Fire-type and Water-type species appear more frequently in battles."

Professional trainer Yuzuru nodded in agreement, "You're right, because both Fire and Water types are dual-type. Fire type Tauros is Fighting and Fire, while Water type is Fighting and Water."

However, he then helplessly shrugged, "Unfortunately, the Quartz Plateau has not yet introduced the Water Ripple and Fire Blaze species. Currently, we only have the original species and the Fighting species here."

The two Tauros with different appearances in the distance are the original Normal-type Tauros, which is entirely brown, and the Fighting-type Tauros, which is entirely black.

Hidemasa Kurosaki looked somewhat disappointed, but Minami remained interested.

"The original breed is handsome too! Aren't our native Kanto cattle majestic? Look, that biggest cow is swishing its tail so rhythmically, it looks like it's using its tail to command the nearby herd of lizards!"

Chen Mu nodded, confirming her statement.

"Yes, Tauros are social Pokémon that live on the grasslands. Their leaders often use the three tails on their backs to command their tribes, including their own kind and the ordinary cattle herds that live with them."

The three forked tails act like a conductor's baton, conveying complex commands through swaying and shaking.

"It sounds so amazing!" Minami listened, completely engrossed.

The live stream chat was flooded with exclamations of amazement, marveling at the wonders of nature.

But then, Qinglian was the first to spot the blind spot: "The Tauros leader's tail commands have become more frequent, and the herd has started moving. What's going on?"

At this moment, the goat mount also stopped alertly, refusing to move forward no matter how the group tried to urge it on, as if foreshadowing an impending change!

"What's wrong?" Minami asked anxiously. At the same time, she finally obediently sat back on the saddle of her goat mount.

The next moment, a loud, clear, and powerful howl came from afar, revealing the answer to everything!

Several streaks of fiery red light swept across the grassland at breakneck speed, encircling the cattle herd from several different directions.

The long howls rose and fell, like a wild hunting war song!

The leader was entirely crimson, with his fluffy flaxen mane billowing in the wind as he ran, like a flame soaring wildly in the wind—majestic and full of wildness!

From afar, just watching them run and hearing them howl to the sky, one can almost feel the call of the wild.

"Oh My God!!"

In an instant, a wave of sound erupted both beside Chen Mu and in the live stream on his phone!

"That's—Growlithe!! Growlithe is so cool!"

The fiery red light is none other than the Growlithe hunting dog speeding across the grassland!

A group of unevolved Growlithe followed behind.

They quickly caught up with the cattle that hadn't managed to escape.

Seeing that there was no way to escape, the lead Tauros seemed to be determined to put up a desperate fight.

It turned around with several of its strongest Tauros, who stood in a semi-circle, heads bowed, their horns aimed at the oncoming Arcanine and Growlithe.

White skill lights lit up on the bull's horns, indicating that it was preparing to use the "Horn Charge" or "Headbutt" skills to counterattack.

All of these actions were quickly put into place under the command of the leader, Kentairo, who swung his tail. The efficiency was remarkable.

Unfortunately, Arcanine and Growlithe also communicated smoothly, and Arcanine even had more experience.

The continuous howling quickly turned into long and short barks.

The charging Growlithes bypassed the elite Tauros stationed there, swept past them, and continued their pursuit of the fleeing herd of lizards.

The next moment, the Arcanine, which ran like a raging fire in the wind, continued to accelerate, charging wildly with unparalleled confidence towards the small group of Tauros forming a defensive formation!

"roar!"

The long howl suddenly changed, turning into a heart-shaking roar!

Arcanine's Intimidate ability activated!

"Moo!"

The Kentaro chief responded with an equally loud, defiant moo.

This Tauros also has the Intimidate ability.

Unfortunately, even with the same characteristics, the effects differ.

Not to mention that Arcanine's roar also includes the effect of the move "Howl", which almost completely negates the intimidation effect of Tauros.

The next moment, Arcanine was engulfed in blazing flames!

Even when facing a formation of five Tauros in front of him, he showed no fear, maintaining his speed without slowing down, and crashed into the Tauros' horns with explosive flames all over his body!

"boom!"

A deafening explosion suddenly rang out across the grassland!

Flames shot into the sky, then gradually subsided.

Amidst the scattered smoke and dust, the five-headed Tauros, who had formed a defensive formation, lost all fighting spirit and, covered in ashes and wounds, slunk away in another direction.

Their escape will bring great misery to the yak that had just grazed with them.

Arcanine didn't waste its energy chasing Tauros, which was obviously harder to catch, but instead turned its attention back to the ordinary bulls scattering in front of it.

When there are common animals around that can be used as prey, predatory Pokémon with a high ecological niche will generally not be stubborn enough to deliberately seek out and fight Pokémon with extraordinary power.

So Arcanine never intended to take down those Tauros from the very beginning.

The attack just now was merely to establish authority and drive away the leader of the herd as quickly as possible, so that his calves could safely hunt the highland yak.

After the great victory, the Arcanine, with flames still burning on its mane, tilted its head back and let out a long, triumphant howl.

"Awooo—!"

This long howl not only brought him pleasure.

It was a real treat for Chen Mu and his team, as well as all the viewers in the live stream!

That's the allure of the wild!
