Abe suddenly stopped in his tracks.
An enormous web enveloped the area ahead. Between trees, between branches, and between the ground and sky, countless strands of silk wove a complex three-dimensional structure, like an impregnable fortress spun entirely from thread. Innumerable Bug-type guards hid in the gaps of the web, exchanging intelligence through signals and pheromones understood only by Bug-type Pokémon as they roamed the hidden passages within.
"Silk City, huh? Interesting. Don't they know a ninja's specialty is infiltrating fortresses to carry out missions? Come out, Ninjask!" Abe threw a Poké Ball. A flash of red light passed, and a pitch-black figure hovered in midair, sporting a golden mask and sharp red eyes. The Bug-type ninja Pokémon, Ninjask, had arrived!
The moment Ninjask emerged from its Poké Ball, it darted rapidly from side to side before returning to Abe and buzzing at him. Abe nodded as he exchanged gestures with Crobat. The strange ripples he had observed from the Shadow World were actually a kind of ultrasonic wave, continuously hypnotizing the Pokémon throughout the forest in the language of bugs. Although Crobat had sensed the strange ultrasound, it had noticed nothing amiss because it did not understand that language. Only after Ninjask appeared was the message translated for Abe.
"Ninjask, use Bug Buzz!"
With each beat of Ninjask's wings, waves of higher-frequency sound spread outward, drowning out the background sound waves in the area. One Bug-type Pokémon after another suddenly regained its senses and crawled out of the silk-woven fortress in confusion. Several Beautifly and Wurmple spotted Abe and Ninjask, approached them affectionately, and began communicating with them in bewilderment.
"Ninjask, please broadcast this message to all the Bug-type Pokémon that have regained their senses. Ask any Pokémon that can use Bug Buzz to spread out and use it
