Chapter 866: Situation

Chapter 866: Situation After the practice battle between Chimecho and Vivillon, Chimecho informed Yuga that Deoxys had not yet left Verdanturf Town, and Yuga could still meet it if he wanted to.

Yuga was eager to see Deoxys again, but he realized it was getting late, so he decided to postpone the meeting until tomorrow.

He chatted with Chimecho about her and Deoxys' training experiences for a while before Audino excitedly approached them.

So, Yuga and Audino together settled the Pokémon they had brought back this time.

Horsea was temporarily placed in the sea at the Shallow Seashore Sub-Ecopark, and they seemed to enjoy it there, disappearing as soon as they entered the water.

The Dragon's Den Sub-Ecopark had not yet opened, so the Horsea had to stay in the Shallow Seashore for now.

Rufflet was naturally taken to the Lake Center Island in the Shallow Seashore, Yuga entrusted them to the care of the Archeops. These Rufflet would potentially become mates for the Mandibuzz in the future!

Flabébé and Spiritzee were both placed in the Flower Sea Sub-Ecopark, and Yuga left them there. These two species of Pokémon seemed to unconsciously grow closer to each other.

Litleo was assigned to the Volcano Sub-Ecopark and entrusted to the care of Ninetales and Houndoom.

However, Litleo and the Rapidash had similar living habits, and although they liked environments rich in fire energy, they still preferred open spaces.

Litleo and Pyroar is species had originally lived on the grasslands, and it was normal to have similar living habits to the Rapidash.

Therefore, the Litleo cubs live in the same place as the Rapidash. So their staying place was not in the volcano's crater but in the grasslands at the foot of the volcano.

After settling these Pokémon, Yuga amd Audino went to check on the Gogoat family and Meowstic siblings that had been teleported back earlier.

The Gogoat and Skiddo families were placed in the Flower Sea Sub-Ecopark, where they got along well with the other Gogoat couple.

The number of Gogoat and Skiddo had increased, and Yuga could hope that they would form a small community in the future.

The two Meowstics were placed in the main Ecopark, where they lived with other Psychic-type Pokémon. When Yuga visited them, they were happily playing with a few Medicham.

Finally, Yuga released the three Malamar, hoping that Nana would help seal their psychic abilities.

Upon learning about the misdeeds of the Malamar, Nana was also displeased with them and readily agreed to Yuga's request.

But what surprised both Yuga and Nana was that, despite Nana's immense power, she couldn't seal the psychic abilities of the Malamar.

Yuga thought for a moment and decided that he would seek Deoxys' help tomorrow. If that didn't work, he might have to consider dealing with these three Malamar.

These three troublemakers weren't as obedient as they seemed. Despite their recent training with Florges and Absol, Yuga could tell from their constantly shifting eyes that their obedience was just a facade.

It was a well-known fact that one could become a thief in a day, but guarding against a thief for a thousand days was difficult. These Malamar, capable of using their psychic abilities, were indeed a potential threat. Regardless of how useful they could be, Yuga couldn't afford to keep them.

The fate of the Malamar now rested in Deoxys' hands.

As for the Magnemite and Magneton, they were naturally assigned to the Mine Sub-Ecopark.

These Magnemite and Magneton were originally under the command of the Malamar and were somewhat submissive.

However, upon arriving in the Mine Sub-Ecopark, they immediately faced some beating from the Aron and Lairon that already living there.

When Audino had reported this to Yuga earlier, Yuga had instructed him not to intervene.

These Magnemite and Magneton had been oppressed for too long. If they are not forced, they will never know how to resist. Yuga didn't want the Pokémon in his Ecopark to live in a stifling environment.

When Yuga finally saw how the Aron and Lairon interacted with the Magneton and Magneton already in the Mine Sub-Ecopark, he realized that the situation was better than he had expected.

The Magnemite and Magneton were indeed afraid of the Aron and Lairon, but judging by their spirits and physical conditions, they were actually doing quite well.

Although the Aron and Lairon didn't particularly like the timid behavior of the Magnemite and Magneton and had a somewhat bad attitude towards them, they didn't engage in real bullying. At most, it was just a bit of unpleasantness in their interactions.

The abundant food and the special magnetic field in the Mine Sub-Ecopark had proven to be quite beneficial for the Magnemite and Magneton. Compared to their previous life, the somewhat aggressive behavior of the Aron and Lairon wasn't much of an issue.

As for the Pangoro and Pancham, Audino had placed them in Oasis 1 of the Desert Sub-Ecopark. There, they lived alongside Ursaring and Snorlax, making it a gathering place for bear-like Pokémon.

When Yuga mentioned that he wanted to visit Pangoro and Pancham, Audino had an unusual smile on his face.

Initially, Yuga didn't understand the significance of this smile, but he soon found out when he arrived.

It turned out that Ursaring and Pangoro had fell in love at first sight, instantly becoming a couple.

Now, forming such couples wasn't particularly rare in the Ecopark; many Pokémon had paired up. So, having Ursaring and Pangoro join the ranks of couples wasn't a big deal.

The problem arose when these two troublemakers started causing mischief.

In Oasis 1, Ursaring and Snorlax had a notorious reputation for being a tough pair to deal with.

However, Snorlax's personality was well-known – it was lazy! Under normal circumstances, it paid little attention to Ursaring.

But Ursaring was the exact opposite – it was fiery! Occasionally, it would provoke Snorlax.

Ursaring and Snorlax had similar potentials, both being Normal-type Pokémon, but Snorlax was the type that gained strength by eating and sleeping. With the abundant food in the Ecopark, Snorlax could eat to its heart's content and rapidly increase its strength, outpacing Ursaring over the past couple of years.

In the face of Ursaring's provocation, Snorlax either ignored it or gave it a good thrashing.

Although Ursaring was female, Snorlax didn't understand the concept of cherishing beauty, especially considering that there was a reproductive isolation between them (Snorlax belongs to the Monster Egg Group while Ursaring belongs to the Field Egg Group).

Anyway, Ursaring rarely got the upper hand against Snorlax when they clashed.

Yuga was well aware of the relationship between Snorlax and Ursaring; he even remembered that they once had a fight over Sweet Honey, though it was just a misunderstanding.

Yuga didn't mind a bit of competition; after all, competition could lead to improvement. But he couldn't help but feel that since he entrusted Ursaring's child, Teddiursa, to Akihito, Ursaring had started acting a bit differently, as if it had become more independent.

Could it be that without her child, Ursaring felt she didn't need to maintain the "maternal" image anymore?

The concept of being a "maternal" figure didn't really apply to Ursaring! Or was it that without her child as a burden, she could be more herself?

Since the arrival of Pangoro, Ursaring had gained a sense of having a helper, which boosted her confidence. During Yuga's absence, she and Pangoro had taunted Snorlax on several occasions.

Well, when the wife had demands, how could a husband refuse? In fact, the Pangoro even brought his two little rascals along.

Under normal circumstances, Snorlax had quite a gentle personality if it's not provoked.

However, after the arrival of Pangoro, his sleep quality had seriously deteriorated, especially with the two little devils jumping around on his belly every day.

What do you take my belly for? A playground?

If you want to play around on it peacefully, fine, I sleep soundly, and I don't mind. But plucking my fur is crossing the line!

(へ╬) If you don't break out of silence, you'll be destroyed in silence!

Snorlax, who had endured for quite a few days, finally erupted in anger!

The day before Yuga returned, Snorlax caught the two troublemaking Pancham and gave them a good beating. Then, he carried them to teach a lesson to Ursaring and Pangoro as well.

Ursaring never expected that even with her and Pangoro teaming up, they still couldn't beat the violent Snorlax.

After hearing Audino's explanation of the situation, Yuga could only comment, "Ursaring, you clearly have no idea how terrifying someone with a bad mood can be!"

Ursaring and Pangoro still had swollen faces! Audino felt they were too fond of causing trouble, so as a punishment, he didn't treat their injuries.

After checking on the other Pokémon, only the newly acquired Vivillon remained to be placed.

However, Yuga had obtained the qualification to open the Insect Paradise, so he decided to wait until it opened tomorrow to place the Vivillon. Sёarᴄh the Nôvel(F)ire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

The Beautifly and Dustox from the Lake Island would also need to be moved to the new Sub-Ecopark, but it was too late to do it today.
