Chapter 308: The crisis of the grass turtle population! A special individual among the forest turtle
Chapter 308: The crisis of the grass turtle population! A special individual among the forest turtles? Let’s drink this sour fruit first!
The appearance of the grass turtle is a small grass-green turtle, which is honest and cute. It has a seedling on its head, which usually has two leaves. The shell on its back is the same color as the small branches on its head, with a dark brown frame and stripes.
In addition, the whites of the grass turtle's eyes, chin, and feet are all khaki.
The overall color scheme has a natural and earthy look.
[Anchor, there's something wrong with these turtles. What's going on? ]
Please help these children!
At this time, Ye Yinchuan had already seen that the status column on the panel of these grass turtles clearly showed "thirst" or even "severe lack of water", and some of the grass turtles even showed "heavy metal pollution" on their bodies. His heart tightened and he roughly knew what was going on.
"You should have noticed that these Squirrels are very thirsty, but they obviously don't dare to drink the water in this lake. As a grass-type Pokémon, Squirrels actually have very high requirements for water quality... At least, it must not be polluted water!"
[What do you mean? Isn't this lake very clear? Your Kodora just drank a lot, and the bronze elephants are also drinking water here...]
Ye Yinchuan sighed slightly:
"One man's meat is another man's poison. This water does look clean, but you see, it has a silvery sheen of metallic steel... Kodara and Elephant are both steel-type Pokémon, and the iron and metal elements in it are extra nutrients for them. But for a grass-type Squirtle, this water... is completely contaminated by heavy metals!"
【I see. 】
[Alas, but haven’t these grass turtles always lived here? How do they survive when the water quality is not suitable? ]
Ye Yinchuan speculated: "Perhaps, the water quality here has changed for some reason...which has caused a crisis for the grass turtle population."
"It's not just the grass turtles. These evolved wood turtles are also harmed by pollution. Healthy wood turtles have brown fruits similar to acorns on their backs... But the wood turtles here have nothing. They are withered and even losing their hair like us humans!"
[Is there any solution, host? ]
[These grass turtles and tree turtles are so pitiful! ]
Seeing the comments, Ye Yinchuan was also frank:
"I can only choose to report it and let the Spirit Center and the Dream Protection Bureau handle it. I'm afraid that's the best way. But I can try to find the cause of the water pollution and provide more information."
At this moment, Ye Yinchuan heard a roar. It turned out to be a forest turtle walking towards him from not far away. Its appearance and aura were obviously very different from those of other turtles of the same kind!
The forest turtle is an evolved form of the grass turtle. It looks much more mature, its body has grown a lot, and it has the characteristics of a reptile. It is called a turtle, but it looks a bit like a herbivorous dinosaur.
The shell on its back covers almost from the top of the head to the tail, and is layered in sections. On top, there are bushes that have grown from seedlings, growing on both sides, connecting the two sides that are like three tree-like bulges...
Its lower jaw extends from its cheeks to form two horns.
Compared to before evolution, its limbs are not only thicker, but also have three claws connected together.
The reason why this forest turtle is different from others is that the body color of this forest turtle is extremely mottled, revealing a dark feeling. Even the bushes on its body have become bare, but the branches have become particularly thick, but also have a distorted feeling.
[What's wrong with this wood turtle? It looks like it's been poisoned! ]
[Is it a mutant individual? ]
Ye Yinchuan looked at the forest turtle with a serious expression.
Because this forest turtle was also contaminated by heavy metals, and the severity of the contamination was far greater than that of other turtles of the same species!
Even its lower jaw was extremely dark in color, as if it had turned black!
Looking at its steps and aura, although it is calm and majestic, both its eyes and breath reveal a sense of death, as if it is seriously ill and dying!
In addition to "severe pollution", its status bar also has "extremely unhealthy"!
"What on earth happened to this wood turtle?"
Even though Ye Yinchuan had seen a lot during live broadcasts, this was the first time he had seen a Pokémon in such a serious condition.
He was worried that this forest turtle might fall down at any time!
But the tree turtle still walked to the edge of the lake, its steps firm and unyielding...
A tiny grass turtle stepped forward to block the attack, but its size, in front of the forest turtle, was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.
The surrounding grass turtles and tree turtles all showed expressions of pity.
Ye Yinchuan listened to the voices of these Pokémons, and his mood became increasingly heavy:
"So that's how it is. No wonder it..."
[Anchor, what's going on? What's going on? ]
[Please explain, waiting online, very anxious! ]
"The grass turtle that is blocking the way is the young of this forest turtle. And this forest turtle... I won't say much, just keep watching and you will understand immediately."
Ye Yinchuan's tone was a little heavy.
The forest turtle's gaze softened for a brief moment, then turned resolute, and he did not stop because of his child's obstruction.
Snapped!
The forest turtle kicked the grass turtle away and then rushed into the lake.
Wow!
As soon as the forest turtle entered the water, it began to drink the water from the lake in big gulps, just like a huge water pump, causing the surrounding water level to drop significantly!
It seemed that after drinking enough water, it was tired, but it struggled to stand up from the cold and heavy river water and climbed onto the shore...
It was wet all over, and compared to other creatures of its kind, its body was pitch black, like a living ghost.
But soon, something strange happened.
I saw streams of water gushing out from the cracks on the back of the forest turtle, just like the clear springs underground, breaking through the ground and falling on the turtle shell and the surrounding objects, making a clear echo...
"Do you hear it? The echo of this spring..."
Looking at the scene in front of him, Ye Yinchuan couldn't help but mutter.
The grass turtles and tree turtles all gathered around, enjoying the spring water that gushed out from the tree turtles after being filtered and purified...
This is pure water without any heavy metal pollution!
[Oh my god... This forest turtle is using its body to purify the water? It bears all the pollution by itself to protect other members of the tribe?]
[It seems like the sand has gotten into my eyes...]
[Host, please, please help this tree turtle and the grass turtle community! I'm just a student, but I've already given you my gift!]
Seeing these comments, Ye Yinchuan's originally calm heart was once again stirred up.
"Don't worry, my family, I will do my best to help them..."
Ye Yinchuan noticed that the forest turtle looked at its fellows, and after receiving the purified spring water, its thirst was relieved. Its eyes were filled with tenderness and relief, but at the same time, it could not hide its deep fatigue, and the light in its eyes was dimming...
The word "near death" gradually appeared on the status of its panel!
"Meenas!"
Ye Yinchuan held the Poké Ball in his hand. At this moment, he seemed to have grasped his mission of coming outdoors...
I also recalled an important significance of my live broadcast——
That is to help more people and Pokémon in need!
"Help the wood turtle, don't let it fall here!"
With just a glance, Milotic understood the situation. It swept its tail, and water energy condensed. Drops of life gushed out and swept towards the forest turtle... The water full of life force was like a pair of warm hands, supporting the already shaky forest turtle, temporarily relieving its extremely poor condition. It regained consciousness and stood firm again. The look it gave Milotic and Ye Yinchuan revealed surprise and gratitude.
[Wow... Fortunately, there are anchors and Mienshao, otherwise I really can't bear to watch it anymore! ]
[That's great! I want to send a banner to the anchor! How about writing "The anchor is kind-hearted, and Snorlax collapsed the bed"? ]
[The guy above, you are really a machine! ]
"My Mienshao can temporarily sustain the life of this forest turtle and purify the spring water to a certain extent, but it is only a stopgap measure after all."
Ye Yinchuan sighed slightly and explained to the audience,
"I'll go find the source of the metal pollution in a moment... Although this lake can breed some special Pokémon, such as the Steelscale Catfish King, and is also beneficial for Steel-type Pokémon, it is harmful to Pokémon like Squirtle. It really does more harm than good.
They should have lived here for a long time... If there is really no other way, we can only ask the Elf Center to help them migrate to a more suitable place!"
[Okay, anchor, we support you! ]
【If you need anything, tell your brothers and we will help you to the best of our ability! 】
At this time, these grass seedling turtles and tree turtles have been irrigated and moisturized by the spring water. Their conditions have improved a lot and they look more energetic. Some of the dried seedlings have even begun to revive...
The forest turtle let out a low growl and dragged its heavy body towards the nearest forest.
Ye Yinchuan followed and saw that the forest turtle came to a wooded place, then slowly squatted down and slowly closed its eyes, with super power energy and light emerging from its body.
"Is it...sleeping?"
The reason why he followed here was because he was worried about the condition of this forest turtle. However, when he saw the forest turtle fell into a deep sleep, it seemed that it used the "sleep" move, and Ye Yinchuan felt a little relieved.
"Using the skill of 'sleep', this forest turtle actually has a certain self-recovery ability, which can restore its body, including eliminating some of the heavy metal pollution in its body... Otherwise, I estimate that this forest turtle would not have survived until I arrived and would have died long ago."
Ye Yinchuan gave a brief explanation to the audience.
[I see... But how long will it sleep? ]
[So this is how the "Sleep" move is used? ]
"If I'm not mistaken, its sleeping time must be longer and longer each time. Maybe one day, it will never wake up again."
Ye Yinchuan said this and asked Milotic to add some more life drops to the forest turtle to speed up its recovery. Then he turned around and left resolutely.
He must find the source of the heavy metals in the lake as soon as possible to help this tree turtle and the grass turtle community escape from the suffering as soon as possible!
"Mienshao, Kodora, you are here to find the source of the heavy metals. But you must take care of each other. If you encounter any problems, come back immediately."
Ye Yinchuan handed over the two Pokémon.
Mienshao and Kodara both nodded.
These two Pokémon, one calm and the other shy, are not the type to easily get into trouble, so it is safer to entrust them with tasks that require independent action.
Hot Cat: Why does my nose feel itchy and I want to sneeze...
In addition, Milotic is a water-type Pokémon, so it is more convenient for it to move in lakes, has strong underwater combat capabilities, and is sensitive to changes in water.
Kodora is a steel and rock-type Pokémon. Although it is afraid of water in theory, it is not actually afraid of water. Its underwater combat capability is not as good as that of Milotic. But the important thing is that it has a keen sense of metal and can easily detect the source of heavy metals.
[Can Pokémon really understand this? ]
[Let’s not talk about Kodora first, Milotic is definitely a Pokémon full of wisdom, which can be seen from its usual cooperation with the anchor! ]
[Kodora is also a smart and good kid, he just looks clumsy! ]
Wow!
air!
Accompanied by two sounds of entering the water, Mienshao and Kodora entered the water one after another.
Ye Yinchuan waited quietly, thinking about more possibilities that could help the grass turtle and forest turtle populations.
At this time, the young grass turtle, the forest turtle's cub, had come to Ye Yinchuan's side without him knowing when. Not far behind it were other forest turtles and grass turtles, as if they were worried about it, so they came over to look after it.
The grass turtle held a fruit in its mouth and approached Ye Yinchuan, rubbing him gently, its eyes full of pleading.
"Is this for me? You want me to help your father?"
Of course Ye Yinchuan could hear Cao Miaogui's thoughts, and he said that just to make it easier for the audience to understand.
After picking the fruit and touching the head of the grass turtle, Ye Yinchuan adjusted his mood and said in a relaxed and gentle tone:
"Relax, everything will be fine."
Ye Yinchuan had no way to explain to Cao Miaogui the efforts he was making and could only offer a few words of comfort.
The grass turtle just thought that Ye Yinchuan agreed to its request and showed happiness.
[This kid, with such a small nose, is quite sensible. He knows that you have to give gifts when asking for favors! ]
[Haha, but the anchor has eaten the sound pattern fruit before, how can you like this ordinary tree fruit? ]
Ye Yinchuan saw that the grass turtle was staring at him, and it would not feel at ease until it saw him eat the fruit it gave it. So he picked it up, put it to his mouth, and took a bite.
very sour!
Ye Yinchuan was so jealous that he grimaced.
But in order not to hurt the grass turtle's feelings, he still gave a thumbs up:
"It's not sour at all, it's really sweet!"
[Anchor, you are such a jerk? I am really crying!]
[Hahaha, this is so sweet that the host almost shed tears! ]
Ye Yinchuan really wanted to tell the barrage that it was so sour that his teeth were about to fall out!
However, he still finished it.
The grass turtle looks at you pitifully like a little child, coming to "give a gift" to his father...
Let’s drink this sour fruit first to show our respect!
About twenty minutes later, the water in front of me surged...
It's Mienshao and Kodara who are back!
Hearing the thoughts of these two Pokémon, Ye Yinchuan's eyes fixed -
The source of heavy metals has been found!
