The Strangeness

Probably because there was no special magnetic field, this group of Magneton did not have any Magnezone.

Since there were too many Magneton in this group, Yuga didn't hesitate to recall Florges and released his Dragonite.

As soon as Dragonite appeared, it positioned itself in front of Yuga. At the same time, the electric currents sparkling on the Magneton began to shoot towards Yuga and Dragonite with crackling intensity.

Facing the powerful electric currents, Dragonite showed no fear. It wasn't afraid of even Zapdos's lightning, let alone a group of Magneton.

Thanks to Dragonite's cover, the electric currents didn't touch Yuga at all.

The electric currents landed on Dragonite, as if they were being drawn by some force, flowing into Dragonite's body through the two antennae on its head.

Dragonite let out a comfortable groan, as if it had just experienced a rejuvenating session.

Refreshing!

Although Dragonite didn't give birth to divinity like Florges through a the yellow gem, it wasn't easy for Electric-type moves to harm it. If you are not careful, it was essentially charging itself up.

Seeing that Dragonite remained unharmed even after being surrounded by electric currents, the group of Magneton was bewildered.

While their individual levels might not be high, when gathered together, their combined attack power was terrifying. Most Pokémon wouldn't be able to withstand their electric currents.

Unlike the Pokémon they encountered earlier, the Magneton group didn't seem to be under the influence of hypnosis. Their minds were clear.

Before the Magneton could react to their own surprise, Dragonite launched its Flamethrower.

After several of the Magneton were "flattened" by Dragonite's flames, the remaining Magneton with electric currents flashing on them started to panic and flee.

However, they soon discovered that the electric currents on their bodies were uncontrollably flowing towards Dragonite.

Some of the Magneton were actually directly drained of their electricity, crashing to the ground like a pile of scrap metal.

After about five or six minutes, Dragonite had completely drained all the Magneton dry. It felt incredibly invigorated, its entire body revitalized.

With the Magneton problem resolved, Dragonite raised its fist, the size of a sandbag, and used Thunder Punch. The punch struck the automatic door, and with a loud crash, the door shattered into pieces.

On the other side of the door, three Malamar stared in shock at Yuga and Dragonite, completely surprised by how quickly they had reached this point.

The Malamars were looking at Yuga, and Yuga was looking at them.

Seeing the data of these three Malamars, Yuga's brows furrowed tightly.

Something's not right!

Yuga could understand the leading green potential Malamar advancing to pseudo-Elite level, but what's the deal with those two yellow potential ones? Not every Pokémon can have an encounter like Noctowl's.

The three Malamars, now regaining their senses, angrily unleashed Psychic Cut simultaneously towards Yuga and Dragonite.

Three enormous transparent blades, accompanied by howling winds, seemed intent on slicing Yuga and Dragonite into pieces.

Dragonite, holding Yuga, used its Extreme Speed move. In a flash, it dodged the three Psychic Cuts, and the shattered door frames and walls disappeared in the wake of the blade.

Seeing the power of these three Psychic Cuts, Yuga was somewhat dumbfounded.

Psychic Cuts from pseudo-Elite Pokémon are this powerful? That can't be! Even Elite level Pokémon don't pack this much punch.

Something's definitely off here!

The fact that the yellow potential Malamars broke through to pseudo-Elite level and their move's power rivalled that of Elite level Pokémon was highly unusual.

In response to the attack, Dragonite immediately counterattacked the three Malamars. It transformed Thunderbolt move into an electric dragon, roaring towards the Malamars.

The leading Malamar, unperturbed by the imposing Thunderbolt, calmly used Light Screen to block Dragonite's Thunderbolt.

Dragonite was an Elite level Pokémon, even if it had just entered that level. It shouldn't be matched by pseudo-Elite Pokémon, especially when using its specialty Electric-type move.

However, the leading Malamar easily blocked Dragonite's Thunderbolt with Light Screen.

While Thunderbolt didn't manage to hit the three Malamars, the released electric currents damaged many devices in the room.

Seeing the equipment malfunctioning and emitting electrical sparks, the three Malamars showed pained expressions, intensifying their hatred for Yuga and Dragonite.

It was at this point that Yuga noticed the room of the Malamars. It seemed to be a laboratory. In addition to the three Malamars, there were several Magneton and two Meowstic huddled in a corner, looking fearful as they observed the Malamars and Dragonite.

However, Yuga did not see any sign of Clemont.

What drew Yuga's attention the most was behind the three Malamars. There was a pale blue transparent crystal emitting a soft light, and the surface of the crystal was surrounded by a faint black mist.

The transparent crystal was placed in a groove with light blue patterns flowing on the surface.

Yuga couldn't help but feel that this pale blue crystal was crucial to the Malamars.

He need to find a way to snatch that thing. It might hold the key to understanding what's so strange about this place! Yuga thought to himself.

Dragonite continued to use Extreme Speed to dodge the relentless Psychic Cuts from the three Malamars. The entrance wall of the room had long disappeared under the assault of the Malamars' Psychic Cuts.

The Malamars had sharp tentacles, which were their ideal weapons for using Psychic Cut. The Psychic Cuts they launched from there could easily tear through opponents.

At this moment, Dragonite was feeling extremely frustrated. It was a powerful Elite level Pokémon, yet it was being cornered by three pseudo-Elite Malamars.

The indoor environment wasn't conducive for Dragonite, a Flying-type Pokémon, to fully exert itself.

Seeing the ferocious power of the Malamars, Yuga finally understood why the forest's Pokémon were enslaved by them.

Evil-spirited Pokémon were a rare sight, and these three Malamars seemed to be naturally malevolent, not only enslaving other Pokémon but also capturing humans.

Seeing Dragonite struggling, Yuga summoned Gengar and Malamar.

"You all like to gang up on the weak, right? Let's see who bullies whom!"
