Chapter 160: Traces
Xiaoxia originally knew a lot about water-based Pokémon, not to mention that she had done Laplace's homework in advance, so she naturally knew the types of food they had.
There is no shortage of ordinary animals and plants in the Pokémon world, in fact, in terms of species, the number of known ordinary animals and plants far exceeds the known Pokémon - after all, there are only more than a thousand Pokémon found, including many different stages of evolution of the same species!
And the number of animal species that have been discovered is a thousand times greater......
It's just that in this world, Pokémon is the only "manifest science" in biology, and no one studies other animals.
If ordinary animals are considered "normal", then Pokémon actually have excessive convergence, and there are too few types......
From an ecological point of view, except for captive-bred meat animals, there are few large animals in the wild, and they are basically all contested by Pokémon, and most of them are small, herbivorous animals.
In general, Pokémon's food is "mostly" ordinary animals and plants, and unlike ordinary animals, Pokémon do not have a pure meat classification, no matter what kind of Pokémon, they are all interested in "Pokémon Tree Fruit" - this is also the main way to distinguish "Pokémon Tree Fruit" from ordinary plant fruits.
Of course, this is only the "majority" of the situation, and the situation of Pokémon preying on Pokémon is not non-existent, among which the most predated is undoubtedly the Pokémon in the ocean...... Take "weak tench" as the most!
Eminem learned from the information given to him by Mr. Jumu that since the outbreak of Pokémon two million years ago, the number of large animals in history, especially the large carnivores on land, began to decrease significantly, and at the same time, in terms of plants, the number of Pokémon tree fruits has increased day by day......
For Pokémon, eating other animals is not very efficient, and "tree fruit" is the best food for all Pokémon.
Mr. Jumu also marked here that this phenomenon that does not conform to the laws of nature - there are more and more Pokémon, and at the same time, there are more and more Pokémon tree fruits that are being eaten!
In the ocean, although there are also marine tree fruits, after all, there are more creatures in the ocean, whether it is ordinary animals or Pokémon......
Plus the weak tench is too weak!
Prior to the Alliance era, weak tenches were not even considered Pokémon, and they were not easily spotted in the presence of an individual, even if they used skills.
The king carp of the people can still "evolve", and the weak tench will always be the weak tench......
It wasn't until a hundred years ago that there was a water-based Pokémon master who trained a large number of weak tenches to form a weak tench group effect, which completely justified the name of "weak tench" - weak, but it is indeed a Pokémon!
Laplace is indeed interested in meat, but does not hunt too large fish or Pokémon...... There is no record of harming humans, but there are many records of rescuing people who have fallen into the water.
Other than that...... It's normal to eat fish, and it's not easy to spot in the ocean, but Laplace also has a hobby – when conditions permit, they will dive underwater, stretch out their long necks, and eat shellfish and crabs from the bottom of the sea......
The depth and environment of Guandu Bay are very suitable for the growth of shellfish, and Xiaoxia even suspects that the reason why there are groups of Laplace here is because the underwater environment here is very suitable for the growth and reproduction of shellfish......
If you eat fish, you won't be found in the sea, so there is no pressure on the environment, but if you let go of eating your favorite shellfish and crabs, there may be a short-lived trace!
Eminem described this situation directly to the lantern fish with mental contact, and the latter immediately sliced, and the electric light flashed on his tentacles, and he saw a similar situation at a glance.
Seeing the lanternfish turn around and swim away, Eminem also beckoned and motioned for Xiaoxia to follow......
Then the two of them followed the lanternfish and swam for half an hour, because the lanternfish was reluctant to go to shallow water, and the two of them also dived to follow it—mainly the sea spiny dragon and the jewel starfish, of course.
The sea is about 50 meters deep, and it is suitable for ordinary shellfish, and you can see that shellfish are obviously sparse a lot on the bottom of the sea, and if you look closely, you can also find some broken shells.
[The lanternfish found this place last night, according to Laplace's habits, it should have been eating here during the day yesterday, and at night, it would rest on the shore, and then continue to chase the warm water......] Xiaoxia has been looking for the illustrated book since she sent a message to Eminem.
Eminem guessed she was looking at the map, so she didn't bother.
Just seeing that the lanternfish was still circling the two of them, Eminem patted the gem starfish and let it get closer to Xiaoxia, and then took out two fish-shaped Pokémon food from the bag around her waist and threw them to the lanternfish.
The lantern fish, which was full of food and drink, left the ......
Then Eminem corrected Xiaoxia, where she is now - what she saw just now is not where the two of them are now!
Xiaoxia: ......
The two swam to the surface first - Laplace, most of the time, still stretched out his long neck and swam on the surface of the sea, leaving only "traces" that could only be discovered by diving.
"Normally, Laplace should have rested here last night, and it's likely to be here today!" Xiaoxia pointed it out to Eminem on the illustrated book.
"Let's go!" Xiaoxia was a little excited, and took the initiative to lead the way as she spoke.
However, he was stopped by Amm: "Wait...... If you presume to be here, shouldn't you go in this direction? ”
"I ...... The test will test you! Xiaoxia said stiffly.
"And this distance is not too close, it is better to go back to the ship first, so that the jewel starfish and the sea thorn dragon can also save some physical strength." Eminem reminded.
When you subdue Laplace, you may need to help with the jewel starfish!
So the two of them first determined the direction of the boat, then swam all the way back, and pointed out the location to the owner's uncle.
As an old fisherman, the boat owner is still very reliable......
Eminem is also looking forward to whether he can find Laplace - if he can do it in the sea, then in the future, when he wants to find some Pokémon on land, a similar method will work!
Prove that [Animal Senses] still has a lot of potential to be tapped, not only in terms of cultivating Pokémon......
At the same time, Eminem did not forget to write down the "diving diary" while he had time, and summarized the gains and losses in this newly mastered skill.
Seeing that Eminem didn't even waste this little bit of time, Xiaoxia, who wanted to take a break, also awkwardly took out the illustrated book and pretended to be watching the video of the water system king competition.
It didn't take long......
Whoa-
There was a long chirp, first high and then low......
When Xiaoxia heard it, she immediately got up and looked in the direction where the voice came from!
"Uncle! Over there, over there! ”
"Got it!" The shipowner's uncle also heard the voice, and faintly saw that there seemed to be a group of "plesiosaur" creatures, sometimes sneaking in and sometimes floating in the distance......
