Chapter 360: Bullying

Chapter 360: Bullying While Yuga saw off Eisuke, in the northwest of verdanturf Town, closest to the Petalburg Wood, a girl with a Dusknoir emerged from the woods. She gazed in the direction of Verdanturf Town, wearing a sinister smile.

After escorting Eisuke out, Yuga decided to check on his new shop. As soon as he entered, Arata Sena, excited, rushed over.

"Boss, you're here!" Yuga asked with a smile, "What's making you so happy?"

"Hehe... I want to show you my Pokémon!" Arata Sena said and released his Pokémon from its Poké Ball.

Seeing the Vibrava rapidly vibrating its wings and flying in the air, Yuga exclaimed in surprise, "It evolved! It seems you've been working really hard."

Although Yuga had given Arata Sena a high potential Trapinch, evolving into a Vibrava usually required a stringent level requirement. So, Yuga was genuinely astonished at how quickly Arata Sena's Trapinch had evolved.

Arata Sena grinned and said, "Oh, it's all thanks to your excellent teaching, Boss."

At this moment, Beidou walked in from outside, smiling, and commented, "Even if the teaching is excellent, it's no use if you don't work hard yourself."

Comparing Arata Sena's progress to his father's lack of innate talent as a Trainer, Arata Sena showed good comprehension in this regard. Coupled with his dedicated efforts, it was only natural for him to make rapid progress.

Yuga generously praised him, saying, "Excellent! Keep it up. When your Vibrava evolves into a Flygon, I'll reward you with another Pokémon."

"Really?" Arata Sena asked excitedly.

He knew that any Pokémon Yuga rewarded him would be exceptional, far superior to the common Pokémon outside, just like his Vibrava. Without its extraordinary talent, he wouldn't have made such significant progress in such a short time.

"Of course, I mean it. I gain nothing from deceiving you," Yuga said with a smile.

Being his first recruited Trainer, Yuga was investing heavily in his training. Moreover, Yuga had no shortage of Pokémon, so long as he remained diligent.

"I'll definitely work even harder and live up to your expectations!" Arata Sena affirmed resolutely.

Yuga provided him with hope and encouraged him to bravely take the first step in life. He needed to work hard to become a valuable person.

Yuga nodded and reminded, "Alright, remember, no matter how much progress you make, always maintain humility and avoid arrogance."

"I understand!"

Then, Yuga turned to Beidou and asked, "And what about you? How's your progress on your end?"

Beidou knew Yuga was referring to his task of looking for potential Trainers near Verdanturf Town. He replied, "I've noticed a few, but I need to assess the situation further."

Yuga nodded in understanding. This task wasn't urgent, so there was no rush.

Afterward, Yuga looked around the shop, ensured everything was running smoothly, and decided to visit his aunt's house.

Since he had been out of contact for a week after his injury, his aunt had sternly ordered him to come over and apologize.

It was a weekend, and his aunt and uncle were both at home. Yuga mustered the courage to pay them a visit.

"Ahahaha! Hurry... hurry up and stop it!"

"Shro....oomish..."

As he passed by an alley, he suddenly heard a burst of arrogant laughter and panicked cries. Unable to resist, Yuga peered inside and saw four delinquent youths surrounding a small Shroomish. They kept igniting sticks and throwing them at the Shroomish.

The flames on the sticks frightened the Shroomish, causing it to frantically flee in all directions. However, the youths blocked its path, and its body bore several burn marks.

"What are you all doing?" Yuga couldn't help but shout angrily.

Upon hearing Yuga's voice, the four delinquent youths all turned their attention to him.

"Kid, do you want to meddle in our business?" one of them in a red jacket said menacingly.

Yuga, despite being a local celebrity in Verdanturf Town, was not known to everyone, including these four troublemakers.

Ignoring the guy in the red jacket, Yuga walked over and picked up the injured Shroomish, being careful not to touch its wounds. He gently asked, "How are you holding up?"

Initially, the Shroomish was terrified when it saw Yuga approaching, but the moment Yuga lifted it, its inner fear seemed to dissipate. This was due to Yuga unconsciously using the power of Grass-type Legendary Pokémon to soothe the Shroomish's emotions.

"Hey, kid, didn't you hear me talking?" the guy in the red jacket said angrily, but Yuga continued to ignore him.

In frustration, the guy in the red jacket raised his fist to strike Yuga. However, before his punch could land, Yuga kicked him away.

Since receiving the Light of Life purification from Combees, Yuga's physical abilities had improved significantly, allowing him to easily handle these small-time troublemakers. Sёarch* The NôᴠelFirё.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

The guy in the red jacket was sent tumbling and writhing in pain as he clutched his stomach. He pointed at Yuga and said to the other three, "What are you waiting for? Get him!"

Hearing the guy in the red jacket's orders, the other three approached Yuga.

However, before they could get close to Yuga, he kicked each one of them, sending them all sprawling to the ground, howling in pain.

Seeing his underlings beaten up, the guy in the red jacket finally felt fear. He continuously retreated while muttering, "What are you trying to do? What are you trying to do?"

Yuga stepped on the guy's shin, causing intense pain, and threatened, "Next time I catch you guys doing something like this, I'll break your legs."

The excruciating pain in his leg prevented the guy in the red jacket from shouting. He could only nod repeatedly.

Carrying the injured Shroomish, Yuga decided to visit the Pokémon Center before going to his aunt's house.

At the Pokémon Center, Joyka immediately noticed the Shroomish in Yuga's arms and rushed over, asking, "How did this child get injured like this?"

Yuga replied, "Let's take care of it first. We can discuss the details later."

Joyka nodded and, along with Chansey, took the injured Shroomish into the examination room.

Yuga then explained the situation to Joyka, who soon emerged from the room with the Shroomish, which had mostly external injuries.

Yuga decided to skip the issue with the troublemakers and chose to visit his aunt's house first.
