Ariados

"I vaguely remember that a group of Ariados had settled near Lake Verity."

"One of them was even a Shiny Pokémon."

"If I could bundle them up and relocate them near my manor, wouldn't that solve the security problem?"

At that thought, Bai Shi's eyes lit up. He felt there was great potential here.

Ash could catch thirty Tauros, so catching a few Ariados himself wasn't too outrageous.

Thus, Bai Shi began searching around Lake Verity.

"Staraptor, I'm counting on you!"

To improve efficiency, Bai Shi sent out Staraptor as well.

He had it search together with Stantler.

With the two Pokémon working together, Bai Shi soon discovered the Ariados' lair.

"Ariado~"

As the overlords of this area, the Ariados clearly didn't welcome Bai Shi, this uninvited guest.

The moment Bai Shi approached, he was met with their frenzied assault.

They didn't give him any chance to speak.

"Yikes, there are quite a lot of them!"

Bai Shi looked around and discovered that there were actually more than a dozen Ariados here.

A slightly weaker Trainer who came here would probably be reduced to nothing but scraps.

However, he didn't spot that Shiny Ariados among them.

"In that case, I can only use physical means to help you calm down."

"Everyone, come on out!"

Faced with the assault of so many Ariados, Bai Shi had no time to think.

He immediately released every Pokémon he had with him except Sealeo.

He directed them to battle the Ariados.

The reason he excluded "Big Brains" Sealeo was that he was worried it would cause trouble.

"Staraptor~" (Brothers, charge with me!)

Seeing such an impressive lineup, Staraptor let out an excited cry.

Leading a group of underlings to conquer all directions was precisely what it had dreamed of.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have been
