I'm popularizing ecology in the Pokémon world.

After a quick wash, Chen Mu and the others packed up their tents and set off again.

The goat mounts couldn't keep up with the Growlithe, and the group had no intention of continuing to chase the pack of big dogs that were chasing the wind and freedom.

They then continued their journey towards the D4 forest, which Minami had initially chosen, in search of the Arbok that Minami longed for.

During this time, they encountered many wild Pokémon, and Chen Mu would occasionally turn on the live stream camera to record these wonderful moments.

"Look up at the sky! That's a Pidgey!"

Minami once again spotted the Pokémon in her field of vision first.

At this moment, high in the sky in front of everyone, two giant Pidgey birds with wingspans of more than two meters were circling each other.

Then, in the next moment, something amazing happened!

The two Pidgeys adjusted their posture, one above the other, and clasped their claws together in mid-air, then let their bodies spin and fall to the ground after losing their balance.

Minami couldn't help but gasp as she approached the ground.

The two Pidgeys, who were performing dangerous acrobatics, quickly released their claws, used the "Wind" skill to stop their fall, and then flapped their wings to take off again.

This thrilling and exciting scene made Minami scream repeatedly.

"My God! What are they doing?!"

Chen Mu then explained, "They're courting."

"Seeking a mate?"

"Yes. Bird Pokémon, such as Pidgeotto and Talonflame, have similar preferences when courting. They hold each other's claws and fall while spinning in the air."

Hmm, you can roughly understand it as a romantic couple holding hands while strolling down the street.

Meibo nodded immediately, "Oh, I understand~ Teacher Chen's amazing analogy is so vivid~"

Yuzuru chimed in, "Compared to the bird's progress, it seems we're falling behind."

Normally, most Pokémon in this area should have already completed courtship and breeding before the start of the annual hunting season.

Minami laughed and said, "Perhaps this couple places more emphasis on emotional communication?"

Hidemasa Kurosaki told a lame joke in a serious tone, "Maybe he tripped and fell while courting someone."

Chen Mu explained helplessly, "Making a Pokémon with skills crash is probably a bit difficult."

Just as everyone was talking, several more birds flew over their heads, one of which even made a wide turn in the air and flew straight towards them.

Another Pidgey.

"Huh? Why did he fly over here on his own?" Minami exclaimed in surprise.

Yuzhen, who is more familiar with the reserve, explained, "This should be a parent bird with normal growth. At this time, their children have mostly just hatched, and they have come to us for food."

Minami exclaimed in surprise, "Huh? They actually beg for food from humans? Aren't they wild elves?"

Yuzuru smiled and continued to explain, "They are indeed wild. But the Indigo Plateau Reserve has been around for over thirty years, and the Pokémon here are used to human tourists visiting regularly every year."

Therefore, they produce more offspring each breeding season and then rely on tourists to feed them to alleviate some of the food pressure.

At the same time, it also allows for some extra space, so that human tourists can take away some of the cubs from their nests that are naturally free-spirited and yearn for the outside world.

The three children were hearing this kind of knowledge for the first time, and they were amazed.

Even in Chen Mu's live stream, many people expressed their feelings.

"So that's how it is~"

Chen Mu commented, "This is undoubtedly a healthy coexistence relationship, in which humans have become part of the local natural ecosystem."

As he spoke, he took out some of his own food and handed it to the Pidgey that flew down.

Minami, Kiyoshi, and Kurosaki Hidemasa followed suit and shared some food with Pidgey.

Yuzuru suggested, "If you're interested in Pidgey, you can follow this Pidgey bird and take on his test. Maybe you can take away one or two chicks that have just hatched a few days ago."

"Okay~"

The three children set off with great enthusiasm.

As a result, by that afternoon, they continued their journey dejectedly.

"Why is it like this...? Weren't they supposed to reproduce more offspring so that humans could take some of the rebellious cubs away? Why are they fighting so fiercely, not holding back at all? It's such an annoying feeling..."

You couldn't tell from the atmosphere that the three children had lost again.

Yuzu laughed and said, "That's naturally because there are too many tourists every year. There's a lot of room to choose from the Pokémon couples here. If you don't have one, there are plenty of tourists who do."

"Don't even think about them letting you have your fill. I've been a hunting party companion for so many years, and I've never seen a wild Pokémon hold back."

Kurosaki Hidemasa looked indignant and grief-stricken. "Damn it! Do humans even have to get involved in things like this?"

The boy seemed to have given up on this competitive world.

For several days afterward, the three children faced numerous challenges from Pokémon within the protected area, but unfortunately, they repeatedly encountered disappointing results.

They either don't want Pokémon that come begging for food, or they simply can't beat the Pokémon they want.

The fourth day has already passed in the blink of an eye.

Of the three, only Minami, who had the lowest requirements, managed to catch a Stunning Deer. She then saved her last Safari Ball, happily waiting to meet her beloved Ekans.

As for Qinglian and Kurosaki Hidemasa, neither of them had opened for business yet.

"Catching Pokémon is so hard..."

At this moment, Hidemasa Kurosaki inevitably felt depressed and once again let out the same sigh as he had a few days earlier.

Recalling his spirited self a few days ago in the starting town, the boy couldn't help but raise his head and look up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, his eyes filled with sorrow.

"Why isn't there a Pokémon with exceptional potential, rare cuteness, a soft voice, and the willingness to go easy on me and throw itself into my arms?"

Minami couldn't help but chime in, "You might as well just fantasize about a popular female trainer suddenly moving into your house and confessing her feelings to you."

Qinglian added in a calm tone, "It's just an otaku's delusion."

Hidemasa Kurosaki clutched his chest, feeling as if he had been struck by lightning once again.

Chen Mu watched with a smile, just about to step forward and offer a few words of comfort.

Just then, a sudden evening breeze blew across the plateau, swirling up a few fallen leaves.

Chen Mu turned his head to look to one side, sensing something.

The wind blowing through the forest pressed down the grass on the open field, as if it were rippling across the earth.

Between the two ripples, Chen Mu vaguely seemed to see a familiar brown figure.

For a fleeting moment, his heart skipped a beat, but he quickly denied it.

Probably not. The little guy has just returned to his most suitable hometown environment, and he should still be integrating into the community and adapting to the new environment.

It's breeding season now, so there must be a lot more newborns in their colony, right? The little guy should have made quite a few new friends by now; it's impossible for him to...

Before he could finish finding all the reasons to convince himself, he was interrupted by a familiar voice!

"Buee~"

At that moment, it was as if the otaku's fantasy had truly come true!
