<h4>Chapter 816: Manipton</h4>
After defeating the Inkay, Yuga and his group continued toward the ck building.
However, they hadn''t taken many steps when they were blocked by a Pangoro and two Pancham.
But to think about it, It made sense; the leader of the forest was controlling this territory, so it wouldn''t rely solely on the useless Inkay to guard itsir.
The Pangoro before them was much stronger than the Inkay they had faced.

This was the first green potential Pokémon Yuga had encountered on his journey, and aside from the towering Trevenant, it had the highest level among the Pokémon they''d seen.
The Pangoro roared at Yuga and his group, baring its teeth, raising its massive fists, and red at them menacingly.
The two Pancham followed suit, each holding a fresh green bamboo leaf in its mouth, with hands on their hips, trying to "intimidate" Yuga and his group.
However, the two Pancham were just too cute, and their attempts at looking fierce only melted Yuga''s heart.
Capture them, they must be captured.
Seeing the adorable Pancham, Yuga''s eyes practically lit up; they were too cute.
Compared to the Pangoro, the two Pancham had lower potential and less strength.

Yuga encountered real Pangoro and Pancham for the first time, and he felt a mysterious fondness for them. Despite Pancham''s less-than-ideal potential, he was determined to capture them.
Observing the situation of these three Pokémon, Yuga deduced that they likely had no direct familial rtionship. The two Pancham appeared to be the henchmen of the Pangoro.
The Pangoro on the other side, noticing Yuga''s unwavering gaze, felt slighted and grew furious. It clenched its fists and charged aggressively at Yuga and his group.
The two Pancham followed suit, running with their small fists raised and making yful gestures.
However, the level 18 Pancham tripped over a vine while running, falling t on the ground with its bamboo leaf flying out of its mouth.
Seeing this, the Pancham at the back of the group nced at its leader and older brother, who hadn''t noticed, then hastily got up, patted its belly, quickly retrieved the bamboo leaf, and nonchntly continued "charging."
Wasn''t that just too cute?
Watching the small actions of the Pancham, Yuga nearly burst intoughter. Were they really here to fight?
Although their potential wasn''t outstanding and the level 18 Pancham was quite young, the Inkay they had encountered earlier averaged levels of around thirty.
As the Pangoro charged, Florges immediately unleashed two vine whips, rendering the Pangoro immobilized.
As for the two Pancham, they were kicked aside by the two Skiddos that had charged forward from behind Yuga''s group.
Seeing the Pancham being kicked away, Yuga felt a pang of guilt. The Skiddos didn''t seem to hold back at all.
While the two Skiddos weren''t particrly strong, they had no trouble dealing with the Pancham.
Despite its fierce appearance, the Pangoro was very protective of its henchmen. Witnessing its two youngerrades defeated, it grew extremely angry and roared in an attempt to break free from Florges'' vine whips.
However, the Pangoro was not the protagonist of a TV show or a novel, and its furious efforts couldn''t overpower Florges'' vine whips. In the end, it was knocked out cold by the breeze of Florges'' Fairy Wind.
With the resistance gone, Yuga captured both the Pangoro and the Pancham into Poké Balls.
What Yuga didn''t know was that their battles with Mmar and these Pokémon had all been observed by three Mmar inside the ck structure.
"Mmar, Mmar."
The leading Mmar extended a tentacle and beckoned toward the darkness. Two Pokémon emerged, a Heliolisk and a Gogoat.
"Mmar, Mmar, Mmar, Mmar."
The Mmar conveyed a series of instructions to the two Pokémon. The Heliolisk and Gogoat nodded mechanically, then proceeded outside.
Defeating the Pangoro and Pancham made Yuga realize that the situation was far from over. As their of the Mmar, which controlled the entire forest, its defenses couldn''t be this weak.
As expected, just as Yuga and his group reached the entrance of the ck structure, the doors automatically opened, and a Heliolisk and a Gogoat slowly stepped out.
"That... that''s my brother''s Heliolisk!"
Bonnie immediately recognized her brother''s Pokémon.
"Heliolisk! Where''s my brother? How is he?"
Bonnie waved excitedly at the Heliolisk, and even the Skiddos and Gogoats they were riding showed signs of joy as they looked in the direction of the Heliolisk.
Yuga noticed the excitement of the Skiddos and Gogoats. He realized something when he looked at the opposing Skiddos.
But before Bonnie, the Skiddos, and the Gogoats could enjoy their happiness for more than a few seconds, a golden beam and green seeds were fired at them.
The golden beam was Heliolisk''s Charge Beam, and the green seeds were Gogoat''s Seed Bomb.
Under the attacks from Heliolisk and Gogoat, Bonnie screamed, and the Skiddos and Gogoats on Yuga''s side also changed their expressions.
"Heliolisk, what''s wrong with you? It''s me, Bonnie!"
Bonnie anxiously called out to Heliolisk, while the Skiddos and Gogoats became increasingly restless.
Fortunately, Florges reacted quickly, using the power of Moonst to intercept the attacks from the two Pokémon.
"They must be under some form of control. They can''t hear our voices."
Looking at the vacant expressions of Heliolisk and Gogoat on the opposite side, what more did Yuga need to understand?
When it came to hypnotism, the most famous were the Hypno and Mmar, with Mmar''s abilities even surpassing those of Hypno.
ording to Pokémon Scientist, Mmar possessed the strongest hypnotic abilities in the Pokémon world. They could manipte opponents at will.
"So... what should we do?"
Bonnie looked worriedly at the controlled Heliolisk.
Yuga replied, "Defeat them and then find the Mmar controlling them. We have no other choice."
While Yuga and Bonnie were talking, Heliolisk and Gogoatunched another attack. However, Yuga had been keeping a close eye on them and reacted swiftly.
