After introducing myself to Ms. Violet, the leader of the White Tan Gym, I asked her about my encounter with the Needle Bee Swarm just now.The Sandalwood Forest, which is famous for its gentleness and friendliness, should not have such a fierce and troublesome Pokémon as the Giant Stitch.

"You don't know something. The White Sandalwood Forest is divided into two parts. Most trainers only see it for its gentleness and friendliness. They don't know that there are dangers hidden deep in the mountains." Violet raised her finger and pointed deeper into the forest and explained: "We are here It's already quite deep. If you walk about 200 meters further, you'll see a barbed wire fence with a sign saying "Danger! Do Not Enter."Beyond that line is the habitat of more dangerous Pokémon such as Styrus and Alidos. "

Violet touched her chin, frowned, and thought: "But the Styliphus is a Pokémon with a strong sense of territoriality, which means that they will not leave their territory easily."

I immediately understood and asked: "So we met the giant needle wasp outside the barbed wire...?"

She nodded and said, "It's definitely abnormal. If the giant needle bees leave their habitat, it's either because there's something outside that strongly attracts them, or because there's some problem deep in the sandalwood forest that forces them to leave." "

"Miss Violet." I suggested, looking expectantly: "No matter which one it is, just go to the depths of the White Sandalwood Forest to find out! Didn't you just say that we are very close to the limit now!"

A trace of worry appeared on Violet's face: "That's true, but it's not safe there..."

"Please don't worry, Miss Violet, I'll be fine!" I looked back at my wife Zenitsu and asked, "Is Zenitsu okay?"

The blond boy was so frightened that his legs were shaking, but he still shouted: "I can do it!"

I patted his shoulder comfortingly and said, "Don't worry Zenitsu, I will protect you. And we also have Miss Violet, don't we? We will follow Miss Violet's instructions exactly and will not anger the Pokémon." "

I assured Violet.

She was touched by my persistence, smiled gently and generously and said, "Okay, let's go together to find the truth about the unusual behavior of the Needle Bee Swarm."

Violet, who loves insect Pokémon, has grown up in this forest. With her leading the way, we quickly cleared the maze-like forest and arrived at the boundary blocked by a row of dense trees.Just when I thought I was going to dig in from outside the barbed wire fence, Violet took out a key from her camera bag.

Under my curious gaze, Violet winked at me and said, "A gym leader's little privilege~"

It's not just a psychological factor, but the sandalwood forest inside the barbed wire fence does give me a different feeling. Compared to the warmth and warmth outside, the overall atmosphere inside is quiet and gloomy, overgrown with weeds, and the road is more rugged and steep.

Violet asked us to follow her closely and not to get too close to the trees, as we could easily be misunderstood and attacked by Alidos entrenched above.

She said helplessly: "Believe me, no one wants to be attacked by a swarm of Alidos. And I didn't bring too many antidote machines today."

But the strange thing is that, let alone the Alidos entrenched in the trees, I didn’t even see a few of the unevolved orb silk spiders that like to play under the trees. Instead, I saw a lot of unicorns in the grass. Insects, iron-shelled pupae hanging on the branches.

There are many such unicorn beetles in the sandalwood forest outside the barbed wire fence. They are the original form of the giant needle bee.However, most of the Pokémon outside are mild-tempered and rarely engage in Pokémon battles, so there is no need to evolve.

In addition, Violet added: "The single-horned beetles outside can only face gentle birds such as the little arrow finches. Very few will evolve into iron-shelled pupae, but it is enough to avoid the fate of being preyed on."

After a short walk in the forest, we arrived at a small wooden house in the forest.Once the house is sealed from the inside, it will be completely sealed. According to Violet, it is provided for lost travelers to avoid fierce Pokémon.

If you look through a narrow window in a house with a telephoto lens, you can directly know the general situation of the habitat of the giant needle bee colony.

Just listen to Violet playing with the camera and counting vaguely.The more she counted, the more surprised she sounded, and later she seemed to count again in disbelief.

She handed the camera to me, and after turning the lens slightly, a picture appeared that made people's skin crawl all over.For the sake of my insect-phobic friends, I won’t describe it in detail.All you need to know is that after my wife Zenitsu took over the camera, she almost trembled and dropped the precious thing in her hand as soon as she looked at it curiously.

"I think I know the reason why the giant needle bees appear outside." Violet said in a tangled tone: "They reproduce too fast, and the trees where the giant needle bees always live can no longer meet their needs. You have also noticed, Their unevolved form is spreading deep throughout the forest. Presumably the giant needle bee swarm you encountered today is also looking for more food and a wider living space, and is looking for an area suitable for expansion."

I recalled what my teacher taught me when I was in school in Miare City, and analyzed: "If the giant needle bees have always been able to live well in the depths of the forest, it is impossible for them to suddenly become so numerous that they need to expand their territory. The forest. The ecological chain of animals is very delicate and balanced, and a certain link must be broken to cause their numbers to increase."

My wife, Zenitsu, also looked like she was thinking, or to be precise, she looked like she couldn't think.

Miss Violet knows the ecology of the forest here better than I do. She said to herself: "What could be the reason for the increase in the breeding rate of the giant needle bee? A safe environment suitable for breeding, sufficient food, fewer resource competitors, or The disappearance of the predator..."

"The disappearance of the predator!!" My eyes lit up: "That's it! Miss Violet, did you realize that we almost didn't see the Orb Silk Spider and Alidos along the way here. If I remember correctly, the Orb Silk Spider Silk spiders and Alidos should feed on bugs and Stylidus bees. If Alidos disappears, Styllis bees can reproduce and expand their territory without any scruples."

Violet looked at me in surprise, nodded in agreement, and praised: "I didn't expect that as a new trainer, you have such rich knowledge about Pokémon. And you have a pair of observant eyes. That's right, Alido The disappearance of Si must be the main reason for the expansion of the giant needle wasp colony."

Before she could be happy, Violet asked me: "But why did Alidos disappear? Have you thought about it?"

There was a hint of expectation in her tone and encouragement in her eyes.

I replied a little hesitantly: "Maybe there are new predators? There is less food? Or there may be harmful bacteria that are only harmful to Alidos."

This one-on-one Q&A made me feel like I had traveled back to the classroom.

"Your idea is very good." Violet smiled: "But if you want to know the real answer, you can only go and see Alidos's habitat."

So we quietly left the home of the giant needle bees and headed to the place where Alidos is accustomed to occupy.

Miss Violet said as she walked: "Although you may encounter them in any tree deep in the White Sandalwood Forest, those are rare loners. Most Alidos and Orb Silk Spiders still have a fixed territory."

Following Violet, I sighed: "Miss Violet, you really know every road in the forest."

She laughed cheerfully, as pleasant as the sound of the leaves in late summer, and looked at me with crooked eyes: "After all, I am also the gym leader of Baitan City. Don't look at me like this, I also often participate in Baitan City Spider As for the activities of the silk craft industry, of course we are familiar with the homes of these spider silk suppliers.”

"Spider silk craft industry?" I wondered.

The blond woman nodded and told me: "As the saying goes, you can eat the mountain if you rely on the mountain, and you can eat the sea if you rely on the sea. The quality of spider silk in Baitan City is very good, the output is large, and it is quite famous in the craft industry. Speaking of which, now is Alidos This is when they produce the largest amount of silk and the best quality. In order to ensure that they have a healthy and stable mental state, we will try not to disturb them during this period and wait until the initial silk spinning period is over before coming in." She was a little embarrassed. Said: "Because I have a lot of research on Pokémon, they invite me to come with them on the first day of every year to ensure everyone's safety, including Alidos."

"That's awesome!" I applauded, "I didn't know about this before, and it wasn't mentioned in the Baitan City brochure."

"Actually, there is, but it's a very small part. You should have ignored it." Violet raised her index finger in front of her lips: "Because we need to be low-key, low-key."

While we were talking, an orb silk spider suddenly rushed out. When it saw us, it was startled and ran to the other side of the forest in panic.

Violet and I looked at each other, read the meaning on each other's faces, and ran forward together.

"Bell!" My wife Zenitsu looked at me in fear as she ran with us, and said with concern: "The road deep in the forest is difficult to walk. Are you okay wearing those shoes with wheels?!"

I gave him an OK sign and walked through the forest as freely as if I were wearing running shoes.

"Squat down!" Violet, who was further in front, suddenly waved her hand.I quickly hid myself in the bushes, quietly approached Violet, and followed her line of sight.

That's...a truck?I rubbed my eyes.

I saw several people with their faces covered and fully armed, holding huge Alidos or relatively small Orb Silk Spiders in their hands.There is a very thick tube extending from the car, filled with silver spider silk...

He's actually a poacher!I widened my eyes and whispered, "Is it illegal for them to do this?"

Violet nodded fiercely: "Of course, it is completely against the regulations of the Pokémon Association to directly capture Alidos for spider silk. What's more, they are so sneaky, there must be no official permission. No wonder the reproduction rate of Styli bees has increased recently. They are taking it accurately. During this period of time, no one will deliberately enter the forest to disturb the mood of the Alidos, and take the opportunity to kidnap the source of the spider silk, so that all the spider silk produced in the entire forest can be taken away."

I asked in confusion: "If they take away the orb silk spiders, what will happen next year? There will be no spider silk in the White Sandalwood Forest next year!"

"Maybe they just want to make a quick buck, so naturally they don't care about the ecological balance in the forest." Violet shook her head and said, "Now that I think about it, last year's spider silk production was not as good as before. It may be because of these guys' actions. I didn't expect it. This year, the appetite has increased and we are tempted to move the entire industry.”

"We can't let them go on like this!"

I want--

A. Photograph the evidence and ask Miss Junsha in the town to handle it.

B. After a wave of enthusiasm, let’s talk again!
