Chapter 89: Normal intervention
Terrance and others found themselves in an open space to the south of the rocky area, where dozens, even hundreds of Nosepass stood, staring blankly at each other, communicating in an indescribable way.
For Pokemon, these magical creatures… even though they have mouths, their thods of communication are quite peculiar.
A dense magnetic force fluctuated over this area, and between so Nosepass, dust and debris began to swirl, creating a sandstorm.
Watching the dozens of Nosepass gathered together with a solemn atmosphere, the group took a deep breath, feeling a bit impatient.
For such a long ti… the Nosepass had done nothing but stand there foolishly.
The Crown Academy students kept a distance from the Nosepass, but it was uncertain whether this distance was safe. The Nosepass seed to be getting restless, and it was unclear how intense it would beco if they were to engage in a battle.
“Pi—”
“Pi—”
About fifteen minutes passed, and it seed like the Nosepass had reached so kind of understanding. They began to cry out in unison, with faint lightning emanating from their bodies.
Afterwards, nearly a hundred Nosepass suddenly acted, causing a brief chaos. Lightning flashed, rocks tumbled, and the continuous sounds of collisions could be heard, causing the hearts of those present to accelerate.
“It’s starting—”
The group stuck their heads out, watching the intense battle in the distance, wishing they could watch it from up close.
Soon, more Nosepass joined the fray, and the battleground expanded, pushing many Nosepass farther away.
“Wait a minute, it looks like… so Nosepass are heading in this direction,” Tobias suddenly exclaid.
In the distance, five or six Nosepass with bodies emitting lightning were moving at a frenetic pace, giving off a chaotic rhythm.
The movents of these Nosepass were erratic, and so of them were running straight towards Terrance and others.
“I’ll handle this,” Misanji’s eyes sparkled as he watched the Nosepass fight, his eagerness to join in clearly visible on his face.
“Isn’t it dangerous to do that with so many Nosepass around…..” Yuko expressed concern.
“It’s okay…my Sceptile is the strongest Sceptile in the world,” Misanji said calmly, gripping the Poké Ball.
“This kind of battle is perfect for giving it so fighting experience.”
As soon as the words fell, Jinbe shrugged. He had heard this so many tis that he was starting to get sick of it.
“In fact, it doesn’t matter…now that the Nosepass have lost their rationality, even if we jump into the fray, they won’t unite to attack us. Of course, in such a chaotic situation, the chances of getting injured will increase.”
Terrance waved his hand.
Wild Nosepass evolve by relying on waves emitted by special magnetic fields. When these waves interact with the magnetic force emitted by their bodies, they combine and emit a mysterious electrical wave that can attract other Nosepass, who are drawn to it subconsciously.
During this combining process, Nosepass lose their rationality, and the release of magnetic force within its body will beco extrely chaotic. At this point, whichever Nosepass can complete the combination first will successfully evolve.
In the wild, when this particular electromagnetic wave appears, it often lures many Nosepass to gather to obtain it.
In the process of absorbing the magnetic waves, chaos is inevitable, but losing in battle can also interrupt the electrical wave combination of so Nosepass, causing their evolution to fail. So, among dozens of Nosepass, the one that can successfully evolve and occupy the dominant position is often very rare.
“Is that so?”
Upon hearing Terrance’s words, so of the more combative people among them showed signs of eagerness.
“Yeah, I’ve brought Oran Berries for replenishing energy, and I also have so Potions and Paralyze Heal. If things get tough, don’t push yourselves and co back here for treatnt.”
“This chaotic situation won’t end quickly,” Terrance continued.
He patted the four other Poké Balls at his waist and smiled with anticipation.
Jinbe, Misanji, Seiji, Tobias, and even Yuko all brought their own Pokémon to intercept the incoming Nosepass and joined the fight.
This ant that only the two Breeder Class students chose not to get involved.
“Aren’t you going?” Orange, who rarely speaks, asked.
“? Nah… we still need soone to handle logistics,” Terrance replied.
Besides…
“Is this really okay? Them intervening might disrupt the Nosepass’ natural evolution,” Orange looked at Terrance.
Terrance smiled and said, “Disrupting natural evolution? We haven’t reached that level yet. Trainers like us are also considered one of nature’s uncertainties for these Nosepass.”
“Moreover, these Nosepass are only a small fraction of their population within Mt. Coronet.”
“Otherwise, why do you think they all worked together to drive us outsiders away? First, they deal with external factors, then their own inter-species struggles. Their evolution is also built on the bodies of their own kind. For them, our intervention isn’t accidental but a natural inevitability.”
Terrance spoke as the five people who had gone out had already joined the battle. They commanded their Pokémon to fight while standing near other Pokémon to protect themselves.
“Nonsense,” Orange huffed lightly.
Terrance didn’t explain further.
According to his understanding, the path of evolution for wild Pokémon is complicated, with a variety of special and complex situations. The purpose of evolution is to make itself stronger and show a specific adaptation to certain environntal conditions.
Wild Pokémon evolves just to better adapt to the environnt.
But whether this kind of evolution was good or bad for Pokémon themselves was still unknown.
Terrance had once co across an example in a report. In the Kanto region, the most common bird Pokémon, Pidgey and Spearow, were in a perpetual state of rivalry due to competition for food. Spearow would attack Pidgey, Pidgeotto would attack Spearow, and then Fearow would retaliate against Pidgeotto. This cycle continued until a leader-level Pidgeot erged, providing safety and security to the Pidgey race.
Pidgey was at a significant disadvantage in this competitive relationship, but contrary to expectations, evolution didn’t lead to good results. According to a researcher’s investigation, the survival chances of Pidgey in this competition were much higher than those of Pidgeotto.
Because every Pidgeotto, despite having better hunting conditions and strength, was often targeted by the Spearow race to prevent them from evolving into the leader Pidgeot for the Pidgey race.
In Terrance’s view, their level of involvent would hardly cause any harm to nature, as there were no natural predators for Nosepass within Mt. Coronet. Evolution into Probopass brought them benefits in terms of strength and lifespan, with no significant differences beyond that.
If one were to consider the truly detrintal behavior, it would be a group of Trainers capturing all the Pidgeotto in a forest…. In that case, Pidgey would be eliminated in competition with Spearow, and the prey species would also disappear. As a result, the entire forest ecosystem would collapse into oblivion!
