I'm popularizing ecology in the Pokémon world.

Upon entering the room, the dojo trainer got straight to the point, starting with a question.

"We have been aware of the purpose of Mr. Chen's trip. Please rest assured that we have already used the dojo's jurisdiction to temporarily suspend the construction group's project before he came."

He casually uttered words that were enough to drive the construction group representatives crazy.

Just three days ago, that representative from the construction group was still maliciously belittling and mocking Chen Mu's students.

Today, it has been reduced to a mere, perfunctory opening remark when someone visits.

This truly exemplifies the saying "fortune turns like a wheel," with the tides shifting dramatically from east to west in three days.

Upon hearing this, Chen Mu breathed a sigh of relief and quickly nodded his thanks, saying, "That would be wonderful."

Then Chen Mu asked, "By the way, I haven't asked how to address you yet?"

"Mr. Chen, you may call me Jubei."

Jubei, a name that's hard to tell if it's a code name or his real name.

Chen Mu's intuition told him that this person was definitely not an ordinary gym leader, but most likely a Team Rocket operator.

Although the other party was not wearing a uniform or an "R" sign when they came to my door today, but was just wearing an ordinary formal suit, I would have thought they were an insurance salesman at first glance.

But since awakening his psychic powers, Chen Mu has learned to trust his intuition: this person is probably not simple.

The next moment, Jubei cut straight to the point, saying, "Mr. Chen, our dojo is very interested in the topic you sent us earlier. We would like to ask how confident you are in restoring the ecological environment of Viridian Forest?"

Chen Mu shook his head and said, "I think you misunderstood. Restoring the ecological environment of an area is a long-term and arduous project that requires huge investment and long-term perseverance. It is not something that a mere scholar like myself can promote. All I can do is objectively assess the feasibility of this matter."

After all, he is just a minor associate professor now. All he can do is sell a glimmer of hope to powerful forces. As for making that hope a reality, Chen Mu does not have that ability yet.

Upon hearing this, Jubei fell silent for a moment.

The apocalyptic power suddenly brought Chen Mu a moment of enlightenment—just a moment ago, his honest, frank, and pragmatic attitude, without boasting, helped him gain at least fifteen points of survival chance.

Wait, what are the chances of survival?

Holy crap?!

Is it really this dangerous to be sitting and talking with this person right now?

The moment he understood the contents of the revelation, Chen Mu straightened his back instantly, feeling as if cold sweat was about to break out!

"What's wrong, Mr. Chen?"

"No...it's nothing."

"Then, if our Tokiwa Dojo were to take the initiative to promote this project in the future, would you be willing to provide the necessary academic guidance, Professor Chen?"

Two seconds ago, Chen Mu would have wanted to decline.

He originally didn't want to stay in Viridian City and get entangled with the Rockets any longer.

After resolving the forest crisis, his original plan was to return to the academy as soon as possible.

But now, having received the revelation of psychic power, he decisively changed his story.

"Of course, although I am from Konoha City, I still sincerely hope that Viridian Forest can regain its former vitality!"

This is a fortunate thing for the entire Kanto region.

Reshaping the quartz environment is our inescapable responsibility.

This isn't from his heart; it's his professional ethics as an ecologist (seriously!)!

Perhaps sensing his sincerity, or perhaps admiring his pragmatic attitude, Jubei smiled with great satisfaction.

"That's wonderful! Our Fire... Tokiwa Dojo needs someone like you, Teacher Chen. This is just a small token of our appreciation, please accept it."

After handing over the gift, the other party took the opportunity to ask a question.

"So, Professor Chen, what are your next plans?"

Chen Mu dared not delay and hurriedly said, "I am planning to take my students into the forest for a field study soon. After all, ecological research cannot remain theoretical; it must be conducted in practice to draw more accurate conclusions."

"Professor Chen's academic attitude is truly admirable."

Jubei's smile grew even more satisfied, and he then offered, "Why don't we, the Tokiwa Dojo, provide the accompanying guides and supplies? With our help, your application for entering the forest will be processed more quickly."

"That would be perfect."

"May I offer another personal suggestion?"

"Please speak freely."

"Professor Chen, it would be best if you could conduct a live broadcast or video recording during your field trip into the forest. This would not only enhance the impact of your research but also make it easier for us to select materials for promotion, thereby attracting subsequent project investment."

The more important reason that Jubei didn't mention was that having video records made it easier for them to report back to Boss Sakaki, who was far away.

In this way, those of them working on the front lines only need to submit the videos, while the cadres and leaders in the rear have many other things to consider.

Chen Mu naturally couldn't refuse.

"I need to discuss this with my students. Of course, I personally have no objection to it."

"Okay, rest assured, as long as you agree to the live broadcast, our dojo will take care of everything, including the platform, promotion, signing, and contract. We guarantee that we will secure an extremely generous appearance fee for you."

The Rockets are rich and powerful, they have plenty of money!

After speaking, Jubei stood up and shook hands with Chen Mu elegantly to say goodbye.

"Then I'll take my leave now. I'll be waiting for your reply, Professor Chen."

Throughout the entire process, the other party was very polite and courteous, showing no signs of hostility whatsoever.

However, it wasn't until he saw the other person out the door that Chen Mu's tense nerves finally relaxed.

"Phew, that was close. I almost got fooled by this thug in a suit." He wiped the sweat from his forehead and breathed a sigh of relief.

If it weren't for the revelation from psychic powers, he would have almost misjudged the situation this time.

Fortunately, the final result wasn't too bad—it seems the Rockets are genuinely planning to invest money to properly manage Viridian Forest.

Then Chen Mu walked to the mirror, and with mixed feelings, he forced a smile.

"Looks like I'm going to be doing live-streamed science popularization next. Is this my destiny?"

Before he transmigrated, he was following a fanfiction about Pokémon invading reality, where the protagonist explained Pokémon knowledge.

After washing his face, he put aside these complicated thoughts and was about to gather his students to discuss the matter when he suddenly heard a hurried "sniffling" sound outside the bathroom.

He immediately guessed that his mischievous little guy must have jumped out of the ball again.

"What's wrong, Ralts?"

He pushed open the bathroom door and came out to find that Little Ralts had already quickly opened the gift that Jubei had left behind before he left, and was now running over to Chen Mu, showing it to him like a treasure.

"My God! This—"

The moment Chen Mu saw the gift, the last trace of fear and displeasure he felt vanished instantly.

This Tokiwa Dojo is a good place to stay!

He really does give away good things!
