Chapter 111 Finding the Reason
Chapter 111 Finding the Reason
The researchers at the reserve have also learned about Ye Bo's situation.
He was in a low mood and had no desire to communicate with Guihai, so he took him to the incubation area and left.
Guihai didn't care about these things and directly used the system to scan all the Bulbasaur, Ivysaur, and Venusaur in front of him.
However, this time the system did not find anything wrong with these Pokémon, and the evaluation concluded that they were normal or healthy.
After thinking for a moment, Guihai checked Bulbasaur's water and food, but found nothing unusual.
It's as if the Bulbasaur population has no problems at all, and the decrease in numbers is just an illusion.
Guihai looked at the two Bulbasaur isolated in the transparent greenhouse, his eyes deep as he pondered what problems might arise.
"The decline in Bulbasaur populations has occurred in the last two years, and Ye Bo has already initiated conservation measures, but the situation has not improved. Therefore, we can rule out the possibility of poaching."
"There are no problems with food and water now. The system shows that all Bulbasaur are healthy, and the possibility of poisoning by some antisocial individuals has been ruled out."
"The number of other Pokémon has not decreased, which means the problem lies within Bulbasaur."
"So it must be that something went wrong with Bulbasaur itself, or that it was affected by some strange non-material influence that caused it to stop breeding."
"The former has been ruled out, so that leaves only the latter."
Looking at the environment in which Bulbasaur lived, Ghost Sea sent Gengar, a skilled communicator, to implant Energy Cubes and various snacks into Bulbasaur's interior.
Then, with Rotom by his side, he began to examine various wavelengths and signals in the environment surrounding Bulbasaur.
A busy day comes to an end.
Ghost Sea found nothing.
Gengar returned with a bunch of empty bottles and jars, shaking its head dejectedly at Ghostsea: "Ghost."
"Haven't you noticed? The Bulbasaur population is also very worried about the decline in their numbers, but they don't seem to have the desire to reproduce?"
"That's strange. They're anxious, but they don't seem to have that kind of desire?"
Guihai couldn't understand this, but now that he was the acting dojo master, he needed to go back to the dojo every day to handle some matters.
So he could only return to the dojo with this question in mind.
Please keep the list of those who came to pay their respects today; these names are to be given to Ye Bo's relatives.
Gui Guan closed the dojo's door and went up to the dojo's rooftop.
The dojo in Mizusawa City is a large tree.
I don't know why it was cut down and then rebuilt into the dojo it is today.
Its rooftop is very spacious and is also an open-air battlefield.
However, the tree itself is still alive, and some branches and leaves have grown at the top. Ye Bo does not want to destroy these hard-grown branches and leaves during the battle, so he generally does not use the open-air battle arena on the top floor of the dojo.
Guihai stood under a branch as thick as an arm, gazing absently at the new leaves and small flowers sprouting from the severed tree.
As the shadows flickered, the Pokémon of the Ghost Sea all came out. They watched their trainer pondering something, then, without disturbing him, they began to playfully fight around the open-air battle arena.
Only Mimikyu landed listlessly on Oni-kai's shoulder.
Guihai touched Mimikyu's little belly with some confusion: "You caught a cold? That shouldn't be the case. Even if a blizzard were blowing on you, you wouldn't get cold."
Mimikyu shook its body and shook Pikachu's head: "Mimikyu."
"You just feel an itchy nose, but you can't sneeze, and you're still feeling uncomfortable?"
"Riddle".
Mimikyu made Pikachu nod its head again.
Guihai used the system to scan Mimikyu. This was a very important member of his family, and he was very worried about any health problems it might have.
[Ding, scan complete.]
Mimikyu is in perfect health; no viruses, bacteria, or fungi have been detected.
"Hmm? No problem?"
Guihai looked at Mimikyu and asked her about the situation in detail. Suddenly, he felt that Mimikyu's symptoms were like it had inhaled something, causing itching in her respiratory tract.
Guihai thought about the differences around him over the past two days, and then he looked at the green leaves and flowers on the branches in front of him.
"Hiss, could it be because of pollen?"
It's already October in the league.
However, many flowers are still in bloom in Mizusawa City.
Moreover, even when other places are in the dead of winter, Mizusawa City remains warm due to its geographical location.
Some resilient flowers will also bloom.
Mizusawa City has a lot of Grass-type Pokémon and a wide variety and quantity of flowers, so the pollen content in the air here is also very high.
People with rhinitis will feel very uncomfortable here, and those with pollen allergies will feel like they've come to hell.
Fortunately, Mimikyu is still a top-tier Pokémon, and although its nose is a little uncomfortable, it is otherwise healthy.
Guihai gave it some medicine to clean its nose, and it became lively again.
Looking at the Mimikyu joining the family and playing around, Onikai's cold face revealed a smile.
Suddenly, his expression shifted slightly.
"Bulbasaur is considered a plant, right? Could they also be affected by this pollen?"
Gui Hai frowned as he considered this possibility.
"That shouldn't be the case. Bulbasaur has been thriving here for so many years. If they stopped reproducing due to pollen, they would have died out long ago."
"Unless, in the last two years, some new species have appeared and affected Bulbasaur."
While thinking about these things, Guihai opened Ye Bo's previous research materials and saw the design of the Bulbasaur Protected Area and the records of Bulbasaur being transferred there.
"Although there are air purification devices to isolate it from the outside world, the Bulbasaur was not cleaned when it was transferred in, and the pollen may have been carried into the reserve by the Bulbasaur."
Thinking of this possibility, Ghostsea summoned Rotom and had it use its Iron Man suit to carry him back to the protected area.
He wanted to verify whether this conjecture was correct as soon as possible.
The operation is not difficult. Just thoroughly wash some Bulbasaur, Ivysaur, and Venusaur, and then place them in an environment completely isolated from the outside world.
Then just see if they have the desire to reproduce.
The arrival of the ghost sea puzzled the researchers in the reserve.
He was even a little impatient.
They were feeling down because of Master Ye Bo's departure, and this ghostly fellow was still hanging around Master Ye Bo's old spot every day.
This made these people unable to resist transferring their negative emotions onto Guihai.
"Prosecutor Guihai, is there anything else you need so late?"
The leader did not use the title of Gym Leader, but instead looked up the title of League Prosecutor in the Pokédex.
He deliberately emphasized the word "instruction," as if to remind Guihai that he was just a prosecutor, not the gym leader of the Mizusawa City Gym, nor the person in charge of this protected area.
Gui Hai keenly sensed the hostility of these people and refused to tolerate them.
The voice was cold and mocking: "I'll help you breeding masters find a solution to the problem of Bulbasaur's declining numbers."
