Chapter 773: Sweet Honey

Chapter 773: Sweet Honey With questions in his mind, Yuga asked the system.

The system remained silent for a moment before responding:

[ Some of the Sub-Ecopark are very special and fall into the category of special Sub-Ecopark, such as the Dragon's Den, Fairy Forest, and so on. Therefore, the activation conditions are quite different, and the difficulty is correspondingly higher. ]

"Special? What makes them special?" Yuga was puzzled.

[ Regular Sub-Ecopark are considered low level Sub-Ecopark, differing mainly in their ecological environments. Special Sub-Ecopark are classified as high level Sub-Ecopark and have unique functions. The current activation conditions are already quite simple, and the host has gained a significant advantage. ]

The system explained.

"Unique functions? What kind of functions?" Yuga asked, both surprised and intrigued.

[ You'll know when the host completes the task and sees it with your own eyes. ]

"Ah, always keeping me in suspense," Yuga muttered in frustration.

Just as Yuga was lost in thought, the voice of Hayate suddenly sounded in his ear.

"Gym Leader Shimizu, is something wrong? Is there anything unusual?"

"Oh, nothing. I just really like this Pokémon Egg," Yuga replied with Joyka.

He realized that he had to thank this Pokémon Egg for revealing the activation conditions of the Dragon's Den Sub-Ecopark.

While Yuga was known for collecting high potential Pokémon, he hadn't actively sought out Dragon-type Pokémon.

The presence of six different Dragon-type Pokémon in his Ecopark was mostly due to his luck. If he had to rely on his own efforts to collect them, it might have taken him a very long time.

"As long as you like it," Hayate said with a sincere smile. Yuga's acceptance of their many gifts signified their growing friendship, and Hayate was pleased with that outcome.

Yuga could sense that Pidgey Express had an hidden motive behind their generosity, but he was willing to go along with it. Building relationships in the business world was crucial.

Originally, Hayate had considered keeping the Noibat Pokémon Egg for himself. However, upon reflection, he decided against it.

They had extensive experience in raising bird-type Pokémon, and there was no need to invest extra effort in raising a Dragon-type Pokémon, even if it was also a Flying-type.

Watching Yuga and Hayate exchange pleasantries, Joyka remained quiet, sipping the Sweet Honey Tea from YoYo Day Care.

It wasn't until Yuga escorted Hayate and his team out of the gym's gates that Joyka smiled and asked, "All done?"

"Yes, it's all done. I'm sorry for making you wait," Yuga replied.

Yuga and Joyka had a close relationship, so their conversation was relaxed, with little need for formalities.

"It's fine. By the way, this Honey Tea is really good," Joyka commented, savoring a sip. The taste was pure and authentic, even better than the Sweet Honey she had tried before.

"If you like it, I'll give you some to take with you later. You can enjoy it at your own pace," Yuga said with a smile. Joyka had helped him a lot, so a bit of Sweet Honey was a small token of appreciation.

Currently, in the Flower Sea Sub-Ecopark, there were already two Combee colony. The Combee population had increased significantly, especially in the area ruled by Vespiquen No. 2. With the completion of her Amber Castle, she had resumed breeding and her offspring had already formed a substantial new colony.

If it weren't for Vespiquen No. 1 focusing on improving her strength, Yuga suspected that there would be even more Combee in the Ecopark.

Despite the incident caused by Florges's rampage in the Flower Sea Sub-Ecopark, which resulted in the destruction of two Amber Castle, many Combee were rescued, and there were no significant casualties.

As more Sweet Honey was produced, YoYo Day Care consumption couldn't keep up with the Combee's production rate. It was both a blessing and a challenge.

Although Yuga and his team used Sweet Honey for various purposes, including personal consumption, Pokéblocks, employee benefits, and selling some in their store, there was still an abundance left.

Yuga had also sent a considerable amount to Mr. Norman, Grandpa Miltan, Mr. Moore, and other elders as a gesture of goodwill. However, their consumption was not particularly high.

"Well, thank you very much. Sweet Honey is a precious commodity, and your supply is quite generous, especially with such authentic flavors," Joyka expressed her gratitude.

"You're welcome. I'm glad you like it. Sweet Honey is indeed a special treat, and I'm fortunate to have access to such a rich source," Yuga replied, appreciating the abundance of resources in his Ecopark.

Their conversation continued, and Yuga and Joyka enjoyed their time together, sipping Honey Tea and discussing various topics, including the beauty of Verdanturf Town and the joys of raising Pokémon.

Joyka's face lit up with joy.

As a member of the Joy family, she was well aware of the benefits of Sweet Honey. Not only did it taste sweet, but it also had significant benefits for both humans and Pokémon.

Long-term consumption by humans promoted health and beauty, while for young Pokémon, it aided in their growth and development. Adult Pokémon benefited from it by accelerating their energy accumulation.

In short, Sweet Honey was a precious commodity, surpassing even the MooMoo Milk from Miltank or the Grass-Goat Milk from Gogoat.

Vespiquen, the kind of Pokémon capable of producing high quality, energy-rich Sweet Honey, was exceedingly rare. Most Combee populations in the wild lacked a Vespiquen.

Yet Yuga not only had one Vespiquen but two.

If Joyka were to find out, she would undoubtedly be envious.

What Joyka didn't know was that, in addition to the surplus Sweet Honey, Yuga also had access to MooMoo Milk and Grass-Goat Milk. However, the latter two items were of little use to him.

The MooMoo Milk produced by the Miltank in the Ecopark was primarily used to feed young Pokémon. Yuga rarely consumed it himself, and given the multitude of Pokémon in his park, the quantity of MooMoo Milk was insufficient.

Since the introduction of Tauros, the Ecopark's MooMoo Milk production had increased, but it still couldn't keep up with demand.

As for Grass-Goat Milk, there was even less of it.

Yuga had a pair of Gogoat, one male and one female, but there were no signs of them breeding yet. So, the milk production was limited and only enough to satisfy Yuga and a few of the children at the gym when they had a craving.

"If you like it, we sell it at our store. After you finish the one I'm giving you, you can always come to my store to buy more," Yuga seized the opportunity to promote his business.

Joyka pretended to be annoyed and said, "With our relationship, I have to buy it?"

"Of course! Business is business!" Yuga chuckled.

"Look at you, becoming more and more business-minded," Joyka teased.

"Can't help it. I have a big family to support," Yuga shrugged.

Joyka suddenly paused and asked, "Do you have a lot of Sweet Honey at home?" Searᴄh the ηovelFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"A bit, why?" Yuga was curious.

"I'll check with my family to see if they'd be interested in placing an order with you. Would that be okay?" Joyka offered. The Joy family had a significant demand for Sweet Honey, and she wanted to help her friend Yuga.

"That would be fantastic!" Yuga had been concerned about Sweet Honey sales.

While he had some customers buying it, they were mostly small-scale buyers. Having a high consumption household like the Joy family as a customer would be a tremendous boost.

"Great, I'll inquire about it when I get back," Joyka said with a smile.

"If it works out, I'll be sure to thank you properly," Yuga expressed his gratitude.

"Don't mention it. I didn't help you just for this," Joyka waved her hand.

"But I'll still willing to accept some extra Sweet Honey."

Girls were Executively interested in sweet and beauty-enhancing foods, and Joyka was no exception.

"Sure, I'll gladly give you some extra. But did you come here today just for Sweet Honey?"

"Oh, right, I completely forgot about the main reason," Joyka said, tapping her head in realization.
