Chapter 106 Master Ye Bo
Chapter 106 Master Ye Bo
The Bulbasaur sanctuary is not far from the Mizusawa City Gym, only about three or four kilometers away.
The protected area is not very large, about the size of a stadium.
It is worth noting that the design of the protected area is somewhat strange.
It's not a natural area used to simulate Bulbasaur's living environment, but a strange building that looks like it was just built not long ago.
From the outside, it looks like an upside-down glass dome.
It uses one-way glass, so you can't see what's inside from the outside.
I could only vaguely sense that there was a creature moving inside, and it looked like Bulbasaur.
Gui Hai arrived here and went straight to the security guard at the gate.
He was instructed to contact Ye Bo, the dojo master of Mizusawa City, directly.
Although Gui Hai's way of communicating might have startled the dutiful security guard, it also sped up Ye Bo's exit.
"I heard someone's looking for me? Is that you, young man?"
As the security guard was relaxing at the entrance of the Ghost Sea, far from the protected area, a somewhat aged voice came from behind him.
Gui Hai looked in the direction of the sound and saw that the person was wearing a blue work uniform and covered in fresh mud.
He doesn't look like a powerful gym leader; he looks more like a gardener.
At the same time, the man's face was full of wrinkles, and his white beard hung down to his chest, making him look very old.
Guihai compared the person's appearance with the picture in the encyclopedia and felt that the difference between the person and the picture was enormous.
The "gardener" in front of you, or an elderly one, looks about ten years older than he appears in the photograph.
"You are... Ye Bo, the gym leader of Mizusawa City?"
The old "gardener" looked at Gui Hai, a hint of surprise, a hint of delight, and a deep sense of astonishment flashing in his somewhat cloudy eyes.
"It's me. And you are... Prosecutor Guihai?"
Gui Hai wasn't wearing a black trench coat or a mask, but the old man still recognized him.
However, Oni-kai was not surprised.
Even prosecutors like Shang Bei and Xia Nan have their own circles, so Ye Bo, as a veteran Heavenly King-level powerhouse, would naturally have his own circle of dojo masters.
Knowing what you look like is easy.
"It's me. I apologize for the intrusion."
Ye Bo glanced again at Mimikyu on Gui Hai's shoulder and the shadow on the ground, and nodded: "There's no need for presumption. Come in and talk."
With that, he led Guihai into this rather strange Bulbasaur sanctuary.
Seemingly sensing that Gui Hai was observing the building, Ye Bo slowly spoke up from the front.
"Prosecutor Guihai, you're also interested in Bulbasaur?"
Looking at the greenhouse-like room ahead, where two emerald green Bulbasaur were leisurely basking in the sun, looking quite content, Guihai said:
"I used to be very interested, but then I found that they weren't interested in me, so I transferred that interest to Ghost-types."
Upon hearing this, Ye Bo swallowed the prepared remarks and said softly, "That's a pity."
Guihai then saw another greenhouse, inside which were two Bulbasaur that were also separated.
This time, he scanned the Bulbasaur with the system and found that there was a male and a female inside, which appeared to be a pair.
"Gym Leader Ye, I'm a little curious about what's wrong with the Bulbasaur here? Why are there such protective measures and such a separation method?"
Upon hearing Gui Hai's direct question, Ye Bo's somewhat aged figure suddenly appeared hunched over.
"The situation is not very good; the population of Bulbasaur has been declining in recent years."
Especially in the first two years.
During our field survey, we discovered that the number of wild Bulbasaur seeds was less than one-third of what it had been in previous years.
And it's clear that there haven't been any new Bulbasaur for a long time.
We investigated various reasons, but found nothing.
We're now speculating that they might be infected with some virus that's causing their infertility, so we've isolated them and plan to observe them for a while.
"So what's the current situation with Bulbasaur's numbers? Is it still decreasing? Have you found out why their numbers are declining?"
Ye Bo shook his head: "The number hasn't changed since we migrated all the Bulbasaur seeds we found to this reserve."
There was neither an increase nor a decrease, and we have no clue as to why.
As he spoke, Ye Bo led Gui Hai to a place that looked like a lounge.
"Does Prosecutor Guihai want to help us investigate this matter?"
Ye Bo asked Gui Hai to sit down and then directly asked Gui Hai about his purpose in coming here.
But to his surprise once again, Guihai shook his head.
"I'm not particularly good at investigating cases, and I don't know much about Pokémon of other types. I've come here to meet you and ask you some questions about Pokémon battles."
Ye Bo and Gui Hai stared at each other, but Ye Bo's eyes did not show the fighting spirit that Gui Hai had seen in other dojo masters. Instead, there was a look of disappointment in his eyes.
"I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I don't have time to grant such a challenge right now, and I'm already preparing to submit my resignation to the league."
Gui Hai was somewhat surprised and curious. What had happened to Ye Bo that caused such a drastic change in him?
Not only has his appearance changed, but he also wants to resign from his position as the Gym Leader of the League.
It was as if he had been struck by something.
After a moment's thought, Guihai asked, "Is it because of Bulbasaur, Gym Leader Ye?"
Ye Bo nodded, then shook his head, a hint of struggle on his aged face. He looked at Gui Hai as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, it all turned into a helpless sigh.
"Well, I guess so, but not entirely."
Before Guihai could ask anything more, Ye Bo stood up from the sofa as if he had made up his mind: "Prosecutor Guihai, let me show you around this protected area."
Guihai found it strange. He had already said that he was not interested in Bulbasaur, so why was Ye Bo still taking him on a tour?
However, judging from Ye Bo's expression, it seemed that he had something to say, so Gui Hai did not refuse.
I followed Ye Bo for two or three meters, and he led me on a tour of the protected area, which was only about the size of a stadium.
This place is said to be a Bulbasaur sanctuary, but there are actually many other Pokémon here.
However, most of them were isolated with Bulbasaur, seemingly to help Bulbasaur incubate its eggs.
However, it didn't succeed.
Pass through the isolated incubation area of Bulbasaur.
Ye Bo led Gui Hai into a very spacious greenhouse.
As soon as he entered, Guihai suddenly noticed that the grass-type energy around him had become several times more concentrated.
Then he spotted more than thirty Bulbasaur at a glance.
And a Venusaur the size of a tank...
