Yuga didn't fully heal the injuries of the three Malamar; otherwise, these troublemakers might cause even more trouble. As long as they didn't die, it was enough.
Yuga placed them in a corner of the aircraft Ecopark, where Absol kept an eye on them, preventing other Pokémon in the park from getting close to them and falling under their influence.
Yuga had tried, but among his Pokémon, only Absol was immune to Malamar's hypnotic abilities.
Absol seemed to be a natural nemesis for these three troublemakers. The energy shield formed by blue crystals had no effect on it, and Malamar's hypnotic abilities didn't work either.
Without the amplification of blue crystals, the three Malamar were among the weakest of pseudo-Elite Pokémon. Moreover, they were injured and could only let Absol squash them flat.
When Yuga arrived at the aircraft Ecopark, he saw Absol lazily lying on the ground, looking at the three Malamar with half-closed eyes.
Meanwhile, Florges was using her whip, mercilessly lashing the Malamar one after another. Her strikes were fierce and unrelenting.
The Malamar shuddered and huddled together, filled with fear.
"Florges! Florges! Florges..."
Watching Florges whip the Malamar with a stern expression, Yuga was astonished.
Florges, have you awakened some strange attribute?
When Florges saw Yuga approaching, she expressionlessly retracted her vine whip. However, Yuga couldn't help but feel that there was a sense of unfulfillment in her demeanor.
"Malamar... Malamar..."
Seeing Yuga approaching, the three Malamar seemed to view him as their savior, tears streaming down their faces as they looked at him with pleading eyes.
They were truly terrified by Florges's whip.
In truth, Florges's vine whip was nothing compared to what she had used before Yuga arrived. Previously, she had used a whip made of Fairy Wind condensed into a wind whip.
The sensation of that whip against their bodies was truly exhilarating.
However, fearing that they couldn't endure it, Florges switched to the vine whip.
Yuga completely ignored their pleas. Compared to the misdeeds they had committed, this bit of whipping was nothing.
Yuga took out the blue crystal and asked the three Malamar, "You said earlier that you could cultivate using this crystal. Could you demonstrate it for me?"
This blue crystal was the eye of the Malamar ancentors and had attributes of Psychic and Dark types.
Since the Malamar could use it, Absol should be able to use it too.
Although Absol wasn't a Psychic-type Pokémon, it had a talent for Psychic abilities, just not the versatile abilities that typical Psychic-type Pokémon possessed.
Yuga didn't doubt that the ancestor of the Malamar was not a Malamar. If it were any other Pokémon, these three Malamar probably wouldn't be able to use this eye.
When they saw the crystal, the three Malamar, who had been shedding tears, immediately changed their attitude towards Yuga and looked at him with a fierce expression.
Especially the leader among them, taking advantage of Yuga's inattention, extended its long tentacles and lunged towards the blue crystal in Yuga's hand.
Although Absol had been lying quietly, its attention had always been on the three Malamar.
In the instant the leading Malamar made its move, Absol's claw swiped, and the sharp claw cut through half of the tentacle, severing it.
Watching the severed tentacle twitching and writhing on the ground, Absol calmly retracted its paw, exuding an air of mastery.
Half of its tentacles were broken off, and the Malamar leader fell to the ground and rolled and howled. The other two Malamars were frightened by the boss's moans and their hearts shrank, and the little thoughts in their hearts disappeared instantly.
Even though the tentacle could regrow quickly, it didn't change the fact that it hurt!
Yuga thought to himself, "I knew these three troublemakers wouldn't behave!"
Yuga cast a glance at the Malamar leader, who was writhing in pain. Then he turned to the other two Malamar and said, "If it won't talk, you two will."
Hearing Yuga's cold voice, the bodies of the other two Malamar shivered, and within half a second, they couldn't hold back any longer and spilled everything they knew.
Seeing that their big brother was not putting up a fight, the Malamar leader, despite the pain of losing its arm, shot a glare at its two younger brothers.
Although the Malamar leader was the one who orchestrated most of their actions, it was actually the youngest of the three Malamar brothers. It was just stronger and smarter than the other two, so the other two followed its lead.
However, the Malamar leader's glare only earned it another whip from Florges. It couldn't care less about the other two Malamar now and began wailing again.
Yuga watched Florges's readiness to use her whip with some concern.
"Oh no, my Florges seems to have become strange. Is there any hope left?"
As Yuga heard the sound of the whip cracking, the two other Malamar's hearts raced, and they spilled every bit of information they had.
By the time the two Malamar finished confessing, the Malamar leader had already passed out.
Florges shook her whip and felt a bit unsatisfied. She used Wish move to treat the Malamar leader's wounds. After all, it wouldn't be good if she beat it to death.
But in Florges's hands, it wasn't easy to die. She'd will give you a Grassy Terrain while educating you on love!
After questioning the two remaining Malamar, Yuga handed the blue crystal to Absol and said to it:
"Give it a try, see if you can use this."
Absol took the blue crystal from Yuga, closed its eyes, and followed the method explained by the Malamar to sense and control the crystal.
Soon, bright blue threads and wisps of dark mist flowed out of the blue crystal, moving towards the bone armor on Absol's forehead.
The blue threads and dark mist remained distinct, representing Psychic-type and Dark-type energy respectively. Yuga could sense that these energies were separate.
Seeing this, Yuga understood that the blue crystal had an effect on Absol's training.
After about four or five minutes, Absol slowly opened its eyes.
"How does it feel?" Yuga asked eagerly.
"Absol!"
Absol nodded, indicating that the blue crystal was indeed beneficial to it.
The other two Malamar, seeing that Absol could truly use their ancestor's treasure, felt resentful deep down but didn't dare show it on their faces, given the lesson their younger brother had received.
"That's good then."
Yuga patted Absol's soft, white fur, but due to Absol's tall stature, even though it was currently lying down, Yuga could only reach its neck.
"Then, this thing is entrusted to you. Make good use of it."
Absol nodded and directly took the blue crystal into its mouth, swallowing it in front of the astonished gazes of the two Malamar.
The two Malamar, who had originally planned to find an opportunity to steal the blue crystal back from Absol, were left dumbfounded.
It's over, the treasure of our ancestors will be lost in their hands.
Yuga instructed Absol and Florges to keep a close watch on the Malamar, occasionally giving them some loving discipline, and then he left the aircraft Ecopark.
