Chapter 684: Travel

Chapter 684: Travel Yuga and the others quickly returned to Verdanturf Town, with Yasushi accompanying them. Yasushi had proper identification, so he wasn't an unidentified person. This assurance put Yuga's mind at ease since obtaining a flight ticket to Verdanturf Town required valid identification, something not easily forged.

League-issued identification couldn't be faked by just anyone.

Furthermore, Yuga knew that YoYo Day Care had Pokémon patrolling around the clock, monitored by Psychic-type Natus. He had no worries about security.

Besides, Yasushi didn't even have a Pokémon of his own.

However, Yuga turned down Yasushi's offer to work for free at YoYo Day Care. Instead, he agreed to provide Yasushi with basic shelter.

What surprised Yuga was that, after learning more about YoYo Day Care, Yasushi expressed his desire to interview for a job and become an official employee, particularly as an Incense Maker.

Yuga didn't expect Yasushi to be an Incense Maker, and one with abilities surpassing Lain. He's even not far behind that Miyuki.

Yasushi had a complete Incense Maker legacy of his own, so he didn't need to learn from Yuga's Incense Makery manual. He could produce high quality Incense independently.

In the end, Yuga agreed to let him stay at YoYo Day Care as an Incense Maker and offered him proper compensation.

Yuga's reason for keeping Yasushi was because Lain was going to focus on producing goods for the Pokémon League store. However, YoYo Day Care also had its own products to sell, and they were currently understaffed.

Yasushi's arrival filled that gap.

Misaki, on the other hand, had Anya's assistance, so she didn't face significant issues.

Yuga also shared the formula for Ghost-type Pokéblocks with her, naming them "Phantom."

However, there wasn't a huge demand for Ghost-type Pokéblock in the market. Yuga advised Misaki and Anya to be mindful of quantities when producing them.

One day, Arata Sena and Akihito approached Yuga together and expressed their desire to go on a journey.

"You want to go on a journey? Arata Sena, has Auntie Aoba agreed?" Yuga asked.

Akihito was an orphan and could make his own decisions. However, Arata Sena's parents were alive, and given their past experiences with Arata Yuuto, Yuga thought it might be challenging to obtain Auntie Aoba's consent.

"My mom doesn't object. She said as long as Gym Leader Yuga agrees, she has no objections," Arata Sena replied, surprising Yuga.

It turned out that Auntie Aoba had changed her perspective after what happened with Arata Yuuto.

If Arata Sena enjoyed being a Trainer and wanted to pursue it as a career, there was no point in keeping her at home.

Isn't that what Sena Yuuto's parents did back then? What was the result? Counterproductive.

Arata Sena and Yuga are about the same age, but Yuga is already a Gym Leaderr and very famous in town, but Arata Sena is still a flower in the greenManor.

Aunt Aoba felt that instead of caring for him carefully and spoiling him in the end, it would be better to let him grow up on his own.

Yuga and Auntie Aoba had a heart-to-heart conversation after learning her thoughts, so Yuga approved Arata Sena and Akihito's journey.

Arata Sena and Akihito were already around the age of ten, and they had been receiving training from Beidou, so their skills were decent. Yuga wasn't particularly worried as long as they didn't get into trouble.

Yuga was generally supportive of people from his Gym going on journeys. When they gained recognition outside, YoYo Day Care's reputation will also improved.

Currently, the significant reputation of YoYo Day Care was largely thanks to Yuga. When Yuga's parents were running it, the business was small, with minimal recognition beyond Verdanturf Town.

After Yuga took over, the conditions improved across the board, including Pokémon, Pokéblocks, Incense, and more. The quality was top-notch. However, it wasn't easy to expand their recognition.

Now, the Pokémon League was planning to promote Yuga as a star Trainer. As Yuga's fame spread, so would YoYo Day Care's reputation. S~eaʀᴄh the ηovelFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

With high quality products and a marketing channel, YoYo Day Care's business would naturally flourish.

But Yuga hoped that those who could represent YoYo Day Care and promote it wouldn't be just him but others as well.

As the saying goes, "A single tree does not make a forest; a hundred flowers in full bloom bring spring to the garden." Only when everyone contributed could they truly demonstrate the excellence of YoYo Day Care.

With Yuga's approval, Arata Sena and Akihito were delighted. They had longed for the opportunity to travel like other kids.

Yuga even prepared backpacks for the two of them, making their journey more convenient.

Their companionship during their travels eased Yuga's concerns.

After three or four days of preparation, the two bid farewell to their families and set off. Their departure left Anya and Akihito's younger siblings in tears.

These years, they had never been separated from their older siblings.

Yuga even noticed Auntie Aoba discreetly wiping away tears.

Both Arata Sena and Akihito aimed to participate in the next year's Pokémon League Conference. They planned to challenge Gym Leaders from various locations.

However, the League Conference was scheduled for the year after, so they would return before New Year's. Their time away wasn't too long, so there was no need for excessive sorrow.

They both pledged that when they returned for New Year's, they would have earned three badges and would challenge Yuga for the Verdanturf Gym badge.

Yuga just smiled and shook his head, not saying much.

In reality, with their current abilities, they were already qualified to receive the Verdant Badge from the Verdanturf Gym. Yuga watched them train in the Gym every day, so he was well aware of their progress.

However, the rules of the Verdanturf Gym were set, and even though they were Gym apprentices, they had to abide by them.

Apart from this, the Ghost-type Pokémon Yuga had captured in Lilycove City had settled into the Ecopark.

The environment in the Haunted Manor Sub-Ecopark was much better than outside, and the Ghost-type Pokémon didn't have any objections.

However, when these Ghost-type Pokémon first arrived, they had conflicts with the Chandelure, Lampent, and Litwick that originally lived there.

This was a struggle for dominance within the Pokémon community.

In Pokémon groups, it was normal to have a leadership struggle, and the most typical example was Yuga's two Vespiquen.

In most cases, if a Pokémon group had two Vespiquen, it would inevitably lead to a confrontation.

However, the second Vespiquen in Yuga's case was quite self-aware and knew that she couldn't compete with the original Vespiquen. So, she moved away and established her own colony.

But making Mismagius and the Chandelure, Lampent, and Litwick compromise wasn't as easy.

Both sides had Pokémon of similar strength, and their leaders were both at the pseudo-Elite level.

However, to avoid unnecessary casualties, Yuga suggested that the leaders of both sides engage in a one-on-one duel. The winner's decision would be followed.

Given that they were all currently living under Yuga's care, they naturally didn't disregard his opinion and agreed to his suggestion.

The duel between the Mismagius leader and the Chandelure leader was conducted under Yuga's supervision.

While the Mismagius leader was indeed powerful, the Chandelure, which had been nourished by life energy in the Haunted Manor Sub-Ecopark for some time, had gained a significant advantage. Ultimately, the Chandelure emerged victorious.

With this victory, the Chandelure became the leader of all the Ghost-type Pokémon in the Haunted Manor Sub-Ecopark.
