Clemont was indeed the designated future Gym Leader, and although he was young, his Heliolisk displayed formidable strength.
With Clemont\'s talent, it wouldn\'t be long before this Heliolisk reached the pseudo-Elite level. When that happened, he would be fully qualified to become the Gym Leader in Lumiose City.
The other Gogoat had an even higher level compared to Clemont\'s Heliolisk.
However, because it was a wild Pokémon, it had far fewer moves in its move pool compared to the carefully nurtured Heliolisk. So, it was hard to determine which of the two was stronger.
This Gogoat, on the verge of reaching the pseudo-Elite level, was probably captured and used as a workforce by the Malamar, even against its will, thanks to their hypnotic abilities.
Since Gogoat\'s ability was Sap Sipper, Florges refrained from using Grass-type moves throughout the battle, relying on the skills of Fairy Wind, Moonblast, and Dazzling Gleam.
The combined strength of Heliolisk and Gogoat wasn\'t enough to harm Florges.
After a single Dazzling Gleam attack, both Heliolisk and Gogoat were sent flying and collided with the black building behind them, rendering them unconscious.
"Heliolisk!"
Once Yuga had safely taken Bonnie down from the Gogoat\'s back, Bonnie anxiously ran towards Heliolisk.
"Big brother, is Heliolisk okay?"
Bonnie hugged the Heliolisk neck and looked at Yuga with a distressed face.
"Don\'t worry, Heliolisk just fainted, once we deal with the Malamar, it\'ll wake up safely," Yuga reassured Bonnie.
Bonnie nodded, tears still glistening in his eyes.
"Do you recognize this Gogoat?" After comforting Bonnie, Yuga turned to his temporary mount and asked.
"Gogoat, Gogoat..." Both Gogoats and their offspring Skiddos nodded and explained to Yuga.
It turned out that the Gogoat, defeated by Florges, was the older brother of Yuga\'s temporary mount, the male Gogoat, and the most powerful member of their family.
They could survive in the forest without being bullied by other Pokémon, thanks to this Gogoat\'s protection. This Gogoat was like the head of their family.
But later, they fell into the hands of a Malamar, and their family head was taken away.
They had thought of many ways to rescue their brother, but they couldn\'t even get close to the black building. When they saw Yuga and Florges, they saw hope, which was why they helped Yuga with all their might.
The Pokémon in this forest couldn\'t leave, and outsiders couldn\'t find their way in, but Yuga and Florges had boldly entered, making them the only hope to rescue their brother.
After listening to their explanation, Yuga told the Gogoats, "You stay here and guard them. I\'ll go in by myself."
The mounts nodded in agreement.
"Bonnie, you stay here and take care of Heliolisk. I\'ll go in and save your brother, okay?" Instructing the Gogoats, Yuga turned to Bonnie.
Bonnie knew that going with Yuga wouldn\'t be helpful and might even hinder him, so he obediently nodded.
"Alright, big brother, be careful."
"Don\'t worry."
Yuga smiled and patted Bonnie\'s back, reassuring him. This made Bonnie feel more at ease, and he believed that Yuga would definitely rescue her brother.
After Heliolisk and Gogoat came out, the doors of the black building closed again, but with a burst of Moonblast from Florges, the doors shattered.
"Malamar, Malamar..."
Inside the building, the Malamar had been monitoring Yuga and his group through surveillance cameras.
When they saw the defeat of Heliolisk and Gogoat and witnessed the shattering of the door to their lair, their faces turned a grim shade of anger. They swung their menacing tentacles furiously.
"Malamar, Malamar."
The lead Malamar called out a few times, and several Pokémon with vacant expressions emerged from the shadows. These Pokémon, without exception, were all under the control of hypnosis.
After issuing a few commands, these Pokémon began to walk out.
As Yuga and Florges entered the black building, they were immediately attacked by a group of small Magnemite. These Magnemite weren\'t very powerful and were swiftly defeated by Florges in just a few moves.
Yuga observed the interior structure of this black building as he walked. Even though he wasn\'t tech-savvy, he could see traces of high technology all over the place. It was hard to believe that this was the lair of wild Pokémon.
Rather than considering this place a Pokémon lair, Yuga felt that it resembled a laboratory more.
If he had to guess, Yuga was inclined to believe that the Malamar here were being manipulated by humans.
However, according to the Pokémon in the forest, they had never seen any human traces here before Yuga\'s arrival.
The interior of the black building was dimly lit, and Yuga speculated that the group of small Magnemite, along with other Electric-type Pokémon, provided the energy to run this place.
After passing through a long corridor, Yuga and Florges entered a hall where a Trevenant was waiting for them.
This Trevenant had similar strength to the previous Gogoat and was quickly defeated by Florges.
Then, they encountered a Furfrou, a Diggersby, a Sudowoodo, and a Azumarill, one after the other.
Without exception, all these Pokémon were under the control of hypnosis.
After defeating these Pokémon, Yuga and Florges finally reached the deepest part of the building.
As Florges was about to break down the automatic door in front of them, a group of Magneton appeared.
This group of Magneton was the main source of energy for the entire building and served as the last line of defense for the black building.
