บท 464: Punishment
Ariados had captured the Kecleon couple that stolen the Sweet Honey with bad intentions.
It knew the true nature of its two neighbors and wanted to see if they would fight over the Sweet Honey.
As expected, Snorlax, thinking it was clever, accused Ursaring of being the thief, leading to a violent confrontation.
Ariados watched this drama with great satisfaction. Even when Yuga arrived, it had no intention of revealing the truth. Instead, it planned to keep the Kecleon couple captive, preventing them from being discovered as the real culprits by Snorlax.
Only in this way could Ariados continue to enjoy the spectacle of the two giants fighting.
However, Ariados hadn't anticipated that its master would be so perceptive. He quickly caught on to its scheme upon their first meeting.
Listening to Ariados's account, Yuga's face turned livid. He glared at Ariados, who trembled in fear.
Yuga had never expected Ariados to have such a bad personality, orchestrating a duel between Ursaring and Snorlax just for its own amusement.
Punishment was necessary! These two Kecleon, who had stolen Snorlax's Sweet Honey, also bore responsibility. Yet Yuga couldn't blame them.
Before they were caught, they had lived in the wild, enduring inhumane torture after capture, resulting in their reclusive and non-communicative nature.
Once they entered the Ecopark, they concealed themselves rapidly, ignorant of the environment and unaware that informing the Milktank Leader about the Kecleon's pregnancy would lead to an abundance of Sweet Honey and Moomoo Milk without the need to steal from Snorlax.
Other Pokémon in such a situation could be quickly located, but the adeptly hidden Kecleon couple was difficult to find. That's why Ariados managed to capture them.
Following Ariados's lead, Yuga found the Kecleon couple's residence in Oasis No. 1 and released them from their silk restraints, returning them to their dwelling while unconscious.
As for the stolen Sweet Honey, Yuga chose not to retrieve it, leaving it in their nest.
To prevent further thefts, Yuga ordered Combee and Miltank to discreetly deliver Sweet Honey and Moomoo Milk to their home.
Of course, Yuga had no intention of letting the Kecleon couple know about this. They were fearful and easily startled, and Yuga believed they should continue their normal lives. Eventually, they might become like regular Pokémon.
With the Kecleon couple settled, Yuga turned his attention to Ariados's punishment. It needed a profound lesson to prevent future mischief.
Observing Ariados's fondness for spinning silk to restrain others, Yuga came up with an apt punishment. Ariados loved spinning silk, didn't it? Then it would spin to its heart's content.
Yuga found a sturdy tree and ordered Ariados to continuously spin silk onto the tree trunk, without stopping unless instructed.
Ariados had no choice but to obey Yuga's command and began spinning silk onto the tree trunk.
At first, Ariados felt relaxed, but as time passed, it started to feel something was amiss.
Layer upon layer, the tree trunk was covered in its snowy-white silk threads, gradually thickening. Ariados began to struggle to keep up.
It wanted to stop and leave, but the sight of Yuga monitoring it and Gengar partially emerging from Yuga's shadow quickly extinguished that thought.
Ariados vividly remembered Gengar's sinister grin when it was captured.
And so, ten minutes passed, half an hour passed, an hour passed... Finally, in the third hour, Ariados couldn't hold on any longer.
It didn't care whether Yuga was present or not. It quickly moved its four legs from its abdomen and climbed up the tree, attempting to escape.
However, just as it climbed the tree, Gengar's eyes flickered, and Ariados found itself frozen in place, unable to move.
Gengar emerged from Yuga's shadow, grinning eerily as it floated towards Ariados. Ariados felt the pressure on itself increasing, and fear gripped its heart. After a sharp scream, it fell from the tree.
"Continue spinning!"
At this moment, Yuga's chilling voice echoed in its mind. Trembling, Ariados resumed spinning silk. By now, its abdomen felt empty, as if all its internal organs were about to spill out.
But it dared not defy Yuga's command any longer. It could only squeeze out silk bit by bit, and another hour passed in this manner.
At this point, Yuga had already left the Sub-Ecopark. If anyone were to see Ariados at this moment, they would surely be horrified.
Its eyes were lifeless, its gaze vacant. Its once plump abdomen had shriveled, resembling a grape skin with its pulp squeezed out. It was even foaming at the mouth, and its limbs lay powerless on the ground.
Ariados had truly been drained completely, not a trace of energy left.
At this moment, all that remained in Ariados's heart were two words: a devil!
After Ariados's punishment, the residents of Oasis No. 1 in the Ecopark lived together more harmoniously. Ariados dared not entertain any more bad intentions.
Time flew by, and over a month passed. Finally, the three children of the Gliscor leader were born, much to their father's anticipation.
At that time, Yuga was in his store discussing the monthly performance of the YoYo Day Care. Suddenly, a system notification sounded in his mind. The long-delayed task was finally completed.
Opening his system inventory, he found the method to craft Razor Fangs indeed resting inside. He realized that the three Gligar with blue potential had probably hatched.
Rushing to the Gligarr's territory in the Desert No. 2 Oasis, Yuga found the Gliscor leader joyfully playing with his newborn children. Seeing them happily at play, Yuga chose not to disturb them and quietly left the Desert Sub-Ecopark.
Leaving the Desert Sub-Ecopark, he took a detour to visit the Grassland Sub-Ecopark.
In recent days, the berry trees he had replanted had finally started to exhibit new changes, gradually transitioning towards becoming Mutant Jaboca Berrys. This brought immense joy to Yuga, as it indicated that his breeding methods were indeed correct.
The growth of each Mutant Jaboca Berry tree meant an increasing number of blue-potential Pokémon for him.
Unfortunately, the supply of those special meteorites was running low, which wouldn't support his efforts to cultivate a third batch of Mutant Berry Trees. Otherwise, the value of his breeding method would be immeasurable.
