Brock then explains that as Elekid is an Electric-type Pokémon, it has an advantage against Piplup, who is a Water-type. Piplup tries a Bubble Beam and Whirlpool, but is again struck down by Elekid’s attacks. Ash orders Pikachu to assist, though Piplup is determined to handle the situation and pushes him aside. Marill hides behind Lulu as Piplup attempts to fend off the threat, only to be knocked down again. Elekid tries to hit Marill again, with Lulu telling the group that Elekid is a wild Pokémon who keeps coming back to the orchard. Later, Piplup helps Marill with the watering, and Dawn cheers him on.Īn Elekid soon arrives, narrowly missing Marill, while Piplup gets zapped. While admiring some hard-working Sunflora operating the water pumps, Piplup takes over the chore to impress Marill. Brock and the others take up her offer, and then Lulu guides them on grand tour of the orchard. She invites the group to stay for the night admitting that she gets lonely all by herself. Lulu says that it is her family orchard and that her parents take care of it, however she is currently running it while they are away for three days. ![]() She introduces herself as and Dawn comments on the orchard. Soon, Lulu runs in to find her Marill and the group. Dawn asks Piplup if something is wrong and Brock tells her that Piplup is in love. Piplup soon sees the Marill and falls in love. The others ask Piplup if he's okay and they see the Marill, which Dawn checks on her Pokédex. Piplup tries to smell a Berry only to get smacked in the head by a Marill. They see all kinds of Berries-including Tamato Berries, Oran Berries, and Grepa Berries. The group come across a Berry orchard on their way to Lilypad Town. But when her mom reveals that she is going to be the Chairperson of the Twinleaf Festival, Dawn responds in a mysterious, shocked, and perhaps unhappy way about it. Then, Dawn informs her mom that she has sent her some rare berries as a gift. Sadly for Piplup, Marill chooses Elekid, and as our heroes say goodbye, Piplup tries to be brave through the tears. However, Team Rocket is sent blasting off again. Team Rocket is also vying for something-stealing the “love triangle” of Piplup, Elekid AND Marill! In the process, Piplup and Elekid become allies. But they also encounter what appears to be a bullying Elekid, who turns out to have a crush on Marill, as well! A rivalry flares up between Piplup and Elekid, as they vie for Marill’s affection. On their way to Lilypad Town and Dawn’s upcoming Pokémon Contest, our heroes are delighted to come across a beautiful berry orchard! It’s there that they meet Lulu, the daughter of the orchard owners, and her Marill, who Piplup falls head over heels for. Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl.In 2018, their numbers were still around 1,000 individuals and stabilising in the wild. To protect this species, China has upgraded finless porpoises to ‘first level protected species’ in 2021-the highest level of protection available in the country. Sadly, this could be yet another stark reminder of what soon may follow for many endangered species, including the Yangtze finless porpoise. Once upon a time, Yangtze river dolphins used to live alongside finless porpoises, but there haven't been any freshwater dolphin sightings for the past two decades. While the Yangtze river plays a crucial role in healthy ecosystem functioning, years of environmental degradation, overfishing and water pollution in the region are having detrimental impacts on many animal species who call it their home. This aquatic mammal currently resides in the Yangtze River in China and is listed as a critically endangered species. The Yangtze Finless Porpoise is the odd one out of its family as it is the only living freshwater porpoise found in the world. However, multiple threats remain that can hinder recovery progress for this species. ![]() Despite this, mountain gorillas are making a promising recovery with conservation efforts and interventions from local and international partners and the WWF through the International Gorilla Conservation Programme.Īt present, mountain gorillas are currently listed as endangered species, with just over 1,000 individuals in the wild. This poses a substantial threat to mountain gorilla numbers as people have moved into areas closer to these great apes for food, shelter and space-over 500,000 people live near mountain gorilla habitat at present. The Virunga Landscape has a history of political instability along with high levels of poverty in the region. The Mountain gorilla is a subspecies of the eastern gorilla, which lives in two isolated populations in the high-altitude forests up in the volcanic, mountainous regions of the Democratic Republic of Congo, Rwanda and Uganda, and in the Bwindi Impenetrable National Park of Uganda.
