Upon witnessing their younger siblings being bullied, the Mismagius couldn't stand idly by.
Surrounded by other ghost-type Pokémon, they floated to the front of the group, casting cold glares at Yuga.
Yuga inspected the lead ghost-type Pokémon using his Insight ability and noticed that their levels ranged from 50 to 60. The foremost Mismagius was a pseudo-Elite level Pokémon, explaining their formidable leadership.
It wasn't surprising that the Clauncher and Clawitzer couldn't match up, as their levels generally didn't exceed 50.
Seeing the ghost-type Pokémon approach, Yuga's Mismagius and Gengar acted swiftly to protect him, darting into the midst of the ghost-type Pokémon, drawing them away from Yuga.
As Yuga's Mismagius and Gengar intervened, the wild Mismagius immediately launched an attack, hurling numerous Shadow Balls at them.
Yuga's Mismagius and Gengar displayed remarkable agility, effortlessly evading the barrage of Shadow Balls.
After dodging the attack, Yuga's Mismagius swiftly ascended to the sky, looking down at the Mismagius, Dusclops, and Gengar below. It surrounded by flames and cast a scorching curtain of fire towards them.
Yuga's Gengar floated across to the opposite side, both his chubby hands raised high above its head, conjuring Shadow Balls and flinging them at the Mismagius, Gengar, and Dusclops below.
Even though they were outnumbered, Yuga's Mismagius and Gengar, working together, left the opposing forces in disarray.
Watching the Mismagius and Gengar's victory, Gardevoir, standing beside Yuga, felt eager to join the fight. Without waiting for Yuga's response, Gardevoir said, "Leave these small fry to me."
Before Yuga could answer, Gardevoir utilized Psychic power to form a massive, transparent Psychic hand that swiped at the small fry spectating on the sidelines.
Due to the intense energy fluctuations generated by the Mismagius and Gengar during their battle was to big, the small fry spectating on the sidelines were unable to intervene and could only watch helplessly.
However, misfortune befell them as a giant hand materialized out of nowhere, knocking them all out of the sky. In the blink of an eye, they were incapacitated.
Left and right, the airborne legion of ghost-type Pokémon was reduced to a mere handful.
Gardevoir, seeing the defeated ghost-type Pokémon on the ground, expressed satisfaction, saying, "Delightful, truly delightful."
Gardevoir had been itching to join the battle since Yuga refrained from letting it fight yesterday.
The little Misdreavus that had guided Yuga looked at Gardevoir with eyes full of astonishment.
It's turn out the real boss is here!
At this moment, it felt extremely lucky that it hadn't rashly engaged in battle. Otherwise, it would have suffered just like those poor souls lying on the ground.
In fact, this little Misdreavus was different from most of the other Misdreavus. It wasn't brought here from outside by the Mismagius. Instead, it was born in this underground cave, and it had no prior conflicts with the Clauncher and Clawitzer that resided here.
Before the Mismagius arrived, it had lived a peaceful life, so there was no need to fight over territory.
However, when the Mismagius appeared, it simply followed the crowd, doing what everyone else did, and ended up tagging along with the Mismagius without much thought.
After Gardevoir dealt with the small fry, it didn't take long for the battle between the Mismagius and Gengar to conclude.
Among those wild ghost-type Pokémon, the most powerful was a pseudo-Elite level Mismagius, but facing the combined might of Yuga's Mismagius and Gengar, they could only be described as routed.
After being defeated, the leaders among the ten ghost-type Pokémon were controlled by Yuga's Mismagius and Gengar using Psychic powers and were placed in front of Yuga, barely conscious and in a pitiful state.
Yuga didn't bother to capture them with Poké Balls since there was no need. Instead, he had Gengar and Mismagius toss them, along with their subordinates, into his Shadow Space.
This served the dual purpose of allowing Gengar and Mismagius to educate them on obedience within his Shadow Space.
Yuga's Shadow Space wasn't a real dimension; it could only accommodate ghost-type Pokémon like Mismagius and Gengar, which could become invisible and intangible, so there were no issues with capacity.
After resolving the situation with the ghost-type Pokémon, Yuga turned to the gathered Clauncher and Clawitzer and said, "Alright, this place will become yours again from now on."
The Clauncher and Clawitzer expressed their gratitude with appreciative glances at Yuga, then cheered and jumped back into the water.
To them, this place, which they had lost once before, was now an invaluable treasure.
With the Clauncher and Clawitzer regaining their homeland, Yuga received a system notification in his mind, indicating the completion of the mission and the acquisition of the ghost-type Pokéblock formula.
However, ghost-type Trainers were scarce, and Yuga himself had little use for it. He had doubts about whether this formula could be sold once it was crafted. Nevertheless, having it was better than not having it at all.
With his mission accomplished, Yuga initially intended to leave immediately. However, after some thought, he took out the Poké Ball containing the Gyarados he had captured the previous day.
With a splash, the massive Gyarados descended into the water, startling the Clauncher and Clawitzer already present.
"Gyarados, I have a request for you. If you agree, I'll release you. How about it?" Yuga addressed the Gyarados.
The Gyarados paused for a moment, wondering what was going on. Wasn't it decided yesterday that it would be joining Yuga from now on? Did Yuga no longer want it today? Ugh, what a fickle guy!
Nevertheless, despite these thoughts, the Gyarados nodded in agreement. It was in awe of Yuga's strength, and while it didn't mind serving under him, it was equally fine with being set free. After all, a life of freedom wasn't a bad option.
"From now on, stay here and protect the Clauncher and Clawitzer," Yuga told it.
The Gyarados turned to glance at the Clauncher and Clawitzer in the water, hesitated briefly, then nodded in agreement.
The living conditions here were better than where it came from, secluded and safe, with easy access in and out. Looking at the Clauncher and Clawitzer, this seemed like a convenient arrangement.
Touched by Yuga's decision to leave such a powerful Pokémon to protect them, the Clauncher and Clawitzer were moved to tears, and any lingering resentment they had towards Yuga taking their fellow kin disappeared completely.
Having reached an agreement with the Gyarados, Yuga pressed the release button on its Poké Ball, leaving it in the underground cave.
Yuga's reason for doing this was to prevent similar incidents from happening in the future, and it could be considered an act of generosity.
In the past, Yuga would never have released a pseudo-Elite Pokémon like Gyarados. But now, with his changed status and perspective, and not lack pseudo-Elite Pokémo.
Besides, he has a big reason for the decline of the Clawitzer clan.
Their original guardian, Greninja, was also taken away by him, and now giving them a stronger one is a kind of compensation.
Furthermore, the decline of the Clauncher and Clawitzer was not solely due to Yuga's actions. Even if they had all been present, along with Greninja, their defeat by the Mismagius and the others would likely have been inevitable.
Nevertheless, Yuga wasn't at a loss; he had gained a whole ghost-type army in exchange for a single Gyarados, it's a profitable deal.
