I'm popularizing ecology in the Pokémon world.

When he heard people all around him shouting "So many Pokémon!", Chen Mu's first instinct was: Oh no, is this really going to be trouble?

Could the Saint-Antoine really be cursed?

Only after he and Sakura approached the side of the ship did they realize it was just a false alarm.

A large group of Pokémon did gather at sea, but they didn't seem to be heading towards the cruise ship.

Perhaps because he possesses both psionic and Eternal Power, two major human superpowers, Chen Mu's five senses have become extremely sharp. Even without the aid of a telescope, he can easily see the situation in front of him at a glance.

At this moment, Sakura was still wondering, "There are so many Water-type Pokémon on the sea, what are they doing?"

The increasingly experienced Chen Mu had already turned on his phone's camera and skillfully began his explanation.

He's getting more and more knowledgeable about live streaming and the internet!

"This is a marine feast, and although it may sound a bit cruel, it is part of the natural marine ecosystem."

The scene ahead is actually a group of marine Pokémon working together to hunt a school of Wishiwashi.

"Washi? I remember that's a rather controversial Pokémon," Sakura recalled.

Chen Mu nodded, responding to Saki while continuing to film the video explanation.

This is truly a stroke of luck; he encountered such an ecological wonder just a few days after setting sail.

I feel like this video will become a major trending topic.

"That's right, Wishiwashi is a small fish that is widely distributed in the ocean, but whether a single Wishiwashi can be considered a Pokémon is still a subject of great debate in the academic community."

When existing as a single individual, the wispfish is extremely weak, unable to exhibit any characteristics, and almost unable to master any skills; even playing skill discs manually is useless.

However, what's amazing is that when tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of these small creatures gather together to form a huge school of fish, their appearance and combat power undergo a qualitative change!

A few powerful individuals in the school of fish will absorb the power of the entire school and transform into ferocious giant wilted wrasses, becoming the ocean's apex predator at the top of the food chain!

In the past, scholars have used mathematical models to calculate that, theoretically, when the size of a swarm of Werewolf exceeds hundreds of billions, reaching trillions, the strongest individual absorbing the power of the entire swarm might possess astonishing strength comparable to Kyogre!

(Weakling fish, individual morphology and school morphology)

Chen Mu paused for a few seconds after saying this.

The original intention was to insert a video document about the wortfish here when making the video later.

Unexpectedly, this pause gave those around him a chance to strike up a conversation.

One fan was the first to recognize him, "You're... Teacher Chen? The popular online eco-livestreamer Chen Mu, right?!"

Then more and more people noticed Chen Mu.

Everyone gathered around.

"It really is Professor Chen! Professor Chen looks so young in person!"

"Great! Teacher Chen is a proper science blogger! Tell us about the phenomenon at sea over there! There was someone talking nonsense here, spouting rubbish, saying that human behavior must have disturbed the Pokémon, which is why they retaliated against us. It made my fists hard."

No sooner had the fans finished speaking than a series of melodious and emotional voices came from the deck.

"This is our retribution! We need to reflect! Reflect on what we've done to the ocean and to nature over the years, that has led to such a massive number of marine Pokémon coming to our cruise ship to retaliate and protest!"

Goodness! Chen Mu couldn't help but exclaim "Goodness!" after listening to only a short segment.

It turns out that there's no shortage of self-reflective individuals in this world.

What was clearly just a normal natural ecological phenomenon not far away, a group of wild Pokémon huddling together and eating by themselves, was forcibly given an extremely abstract meaning of "retaliation and protest" by that person.

Then, a series of rhetorical techniques are used to force people to reflect, steer the conversation toward feelings of guilt and retribution.

This style of play is so similar, it's almost identical!

They were exactly the same as the online "cake sellers" he had met before his transmigration.

At this moment, just as at that moment.

Fortunately, this time, he truly understands ecology.

"There is no retaliation or protest. If you look closely, you can see that most of the Pokémon are staying in that area of ​​the sea just to hunt for prey."

Just then, a baby sea lion leaped out of the water, swished its tail happily in the air, and then plunged back into the sea.

Although it was just a fleeting glimpse, many people still noticed it—

"Look! That little sea lion was carrying a wakame in its mouth!"

Other Pokémon are doing the same thing.

Several big-billed gulls suddenly folded their wings and plunged into the water. A dozen seconds later, they flapped their wings again and leaped out of the water. The fish jumping in the net below their beaks were clearly wriggling fish.

In addition, people can occasionally see Gyarados breaking the surface of the water with their backs, jellyfish and stinging jellyfish sometimes sticking half of their heads out of the water, and giant flying fish sometimes riding the wind across the sea.

At first, people standing on the boat couldn't see the Pokémon's underwater movements very clearly from a distance, which gave the "reflection party" a chance to express their opinions freely.

But now, thanks to Chen Mu's popular science explanation, many people are observing more closely and have immediately discovered many details that they had not noticed before.

"They seem to really be hunting wampee."

"Did that Gyarados just use Waterfall? A lot of Wishiwashi suddenly rushed up from the sea, and I saw that each of the surrounding Pokémon carried away several of them."

"Yes, I saw it too, it was a spectacular sight!"

It's clearly a magnificent natural landscape, and all we need to do when we encounter such beauty is appreciate it with gratitude.

But some people just love to contradict others, using it to gain a sense of spiritual pleasure from criticizing the world.

"You're talking nonsense! How could they be hunting? It's common knowledge that wild Pokémon, when food resources are plentiful, will prioritize hunting ordinary animals without superpowers. How could so many Pokémon be simultaneously and helplessly ganging up on a school of Wishiwashi? You're simply distorting the truth and exonerating humans!"

It was clearly the other party who was spreading rumors, but unexpectedly, after noticing Chen Mu, that person took the initiative to strike first.

The thief crying "stop thief!" is a classic case of the pot calling the kettle black!

But Chen Mu didn't argue with him; he felt it wasn't worth it to deal with someone like that.

He simply continued doing his job of popularizing science.

"Pokémon don't easily prey on other Pokémon; this is indeed an ecological phenomenon, or rather, a survival wisdom of wild Pokémon."

But no survival wisdom is rigid or dogmatic.

Wishiwashi is weak when alone, but becomes exceptionally powerful when in a group. This behavior has been known to all marine Pokémon for millions of years.

Even humans think about controlling the size of the wisps in the ocean from time to time. How could the marine Pokémon that have lived in the same waters as the wisps for millions of years not know this?

This cooperative predation behavior is a natural way for the ecosystem to regulate the population of the weak-skinned catfish.

Chen Mu's engaging and detailed explanations are now gaining increasing recognition from tourists.

But the man on the boat who was reflecting on the situation was still stubbornly insisting, "I don't believe it! That's impossible! Do you really think they can catch all the wakabashi in one go?"

And then—

From the distant mist came the distant songs of whales and the roars of dragons!
