Chapter 937: Ignorance and Fearlessness

Chapter 937: Ignorance and Fearlessness After discussing the matter of the unnamed island with Joyka for a while, Yuga returned to the Pokémon Day Care.

However, as soon as he entered, he saw Suzuki Koen looking troubled while talking to a customer.

"Sir, we really can't sell a Milotic to you."

"It's not like I'm not willing to pay, and I don't even need one with excellent potentials. Just sell me a Milotic with yellow potentials, that should be fine, right?"

"Sir, it's not about money or potentials. Milotic is an adult Pokémon, and the League doesn't allow any Day Cares to sell adult Pokémon."

"I know that, of course. You could just secretly sell one to me. Don't think I don't know; your industry does this kind of thing often. I have money! Name your price, I guarantee I can afford it!"

"Sir, whether other Day Cares do this or not, we don't. If you want to find one that does, please go elsewhere."

...

Due to the hosting of the Wallace Cup, business at the YoYo Day Care had been booming recently. During times like these, the shop would be filled with numerous customers.

Suzuki Koen was already very busy, and now, he was being pestered by this person. The customers who needed assistance in the shop had to be attended to by Audino and Wigglytuff.

When Yuga, who had just returned, saw Suzuki Koen looking troubled, he walked over and asked, "What's going on, Sister Koen?"

Seeing Yuga return, Suzuki Koen sighed in relief, called him "boss," and briefly explained the situation.

Since the performance of Milotic at the opening of the Wallace Cup by YoYo Day Care, several people had expressed their desire to purchase a Milotic. However, Suzuki Koen had turned them away with various excuses. But this person in front of him was particularly persistent, and he was the most challenging customer they had encountered so far.

During the first round of the Wallace Cup, Milotic had made frequent appearances, and both Kris and Robert, who owned Milotic, had achieved excellent results. In addition to the Milotic that had become famous thanks to the Wallace Cup, the demand for Milotic had surged.

After discussing the matter of the unnamed island with Joyka for a while, Yuga returned to the Pokémon Day Care.

However, as soon as he entered, he saw Suzuki Koen looking troubled while talking to a customer.

The original intention of Yuga was to use Milotic is to further promote the reputation of YoYo Day Care. However, there were always some people who thought they could make YoYo Day Care bypass the League's laws for them, so they secretly came to try to buy Milotic.

If they wanted to buy a Feebas, YoYo Day Care wouldn't refuse, but everyone felt that it was too difficult to evolve Feebas into Milotic, so they didn't want Feebas. Sёarᴄh the NôᴠelFirё.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Although Feebas was not as common as Magikarp, it was still not easy to catch them in the water. Timid and shy, Feebas were typically hard to capture.

While Feebas had very strong vitality and could survive even in puddles, most of them lived in deep lakes.

"Sir, our Day Care cannot violate the law by selling adult Pokémon to you!" After understanding the situation, Yuga said solemnly to the man in front of him.

The man looked at Yuga for a while and then smiled, "You must be Gym Leader Shimizu, right? You're truly outstanding, clearly a remarkable individual. I can tell you, as long as you're willing to sell me a Milotic, I will keep my lips sealed. I won't casually disclose anything."

Yuga, hearing this person's persistent attitude, felt a bit angry and said with a stern face, "Sir, you should know that I am a Gym Leader of the League."

The man understood the meaning behind Yuga's words but pretended to be clueless, "Wouldn't it be more convenient for a Gym Leader of the League to handle such matters? The League shouldn't pursue you for such a small thing."

Seeing that this man was unyielding, Yuga became even more annoyed and said, "Sir, please leave!"

Facing Yuga's genuine anger, the man finally smiled and said, "Well, since Gym Leader Shimizu is so determined not to sell, then forget it."

After saying this, the man left with a smile on his face, and it was unclear what he was thinking.

Seeing the man leave, Suzuki Koen shook his head and sighed, "People come in all kinds!"

Yuga was about to say something when he heard a voice behind him.

"Um... Mr. Shimizu!"

Yuga turned around and saw Daisy, Violet, and Lily, the three sisters, standing there eagerly.

"Oh, it's you. Do you need something from me?"

The youngest of the sisters, Lily, immediately became excited when she heard Yuga speak to her, and she whispered to Violet, who was beside her, "Big sis, he seems to know us! That's great! Seeing him up close, he looks even more handsome!"

Watching her younger sister infatuated, Violet couldn't help but sigh and said, "He's one of the judges at the contest, Lily. It's normal for him to recognize us. I've made it to the final round."

Seeing that Suzuki Koen was busy talking to the three sisters, Yuga nodded and said, "Go ahead."

Daisy spoke up, "I heard that the Pokémon in the Pokémon Paradise are all stray Pokémon and can be adopted, is that true?"

Yuga suddenly realized and said, "Are you here for this matter?"

Daisy nodded.

Yuga smiled and said, "Indeed, we welcome anyone who wants to adopt these Pokémon."

The three Daisy sisters' eyes lit up.

"Well, you see, the three of us don't have much talent as trainers, so after returning to the Kanto region, we plan to perform water ballet. This time, we came to Hoenn to take some of Hoenn's Water-type Pokémon with us. Our water ballet doesn't require much from the Pokémon in terms of potentials, so adopting the stray Pokémon from the Pokémon Paradise is just perfect."

Daisy continued to explain to Yuga. They had been observing for a while now, and the stray Pokémon in the Pokémon Paradise were well taken care of. At lunchtime, they had wanted to talk about this matter but hadn't found the opportunity until now.

Seeing someone willing to adopt the stray Pokémon, Yuga was naturally very happy. The Daisy sisters were the daughters of the Gym, and he believed they would provide a better life for these stray Pokémon.

Yuga said, "Let's go to the Paradise and have a look. It will also help me know which Pokémon you want to adopt."

In the center of Pokémon Paradise, there was a constructed pool where all the Water-type stray Pokémon usually stayed. When Yuga and the Daisy sisters arrived, some Water-type stray Pokémon were happily playing in the water.

There were quite a variety of Water-type Pokémon in Hoenn, such as Lotad, Wingull, Surskit, Carvanha, Corphish, Barboach, and Luvdisc. They also had some common Water-type Pokémon from other regions, like Staryu, Poliwag, Tentacool, and Shellder.

However, the Daisy sisters already had most of these Pokémon at home, so they didn't consider adopting them.

They had already decided which Pokémon they wanted to adopt; two of each species. Although Surskit wouldn't remain a Water-type Pokémon after evolving, but based on the potentials of the two Surskit they had chosen, it would likely be challenging to evolve them.

For Yuga, this was the first time he had hosted someone who adopted so many Pokémon at once. While the Pokémon Paradise's reputation had spread, and more people were coming here to adopt stray Pokémon, most of them only adopted one.

Fortunately, the stray Pokémon were no longer as hostile to humans as they used to be, or convincing the Daisy sisters to leave with them would have been quite a headache.

After getting the Pokémon they wanted, the three sisters left happily.

At night, Yuga locked the doors and windows and went to bed.

At this moment, there was suddenly a sound of wings flapping outside, followed by three shadows landing on the roof of YoYo Day Care.

In the dimly lit night, one could vaguely see that the three shadows descending on the roof were two bird-like Pokémon and one that appeared to be a Ghost-type Pokémon.

"Have you found out where the entrance to the Ecopark is?"

One of the shadows asked another.

These three shadows were all dressed in black night clothes and had their faces covered, making it difficult to see their features in the dark night.

"Don't worry, I scouted it out a long time ago!" Another shadow said in a low voice. If Yuga were here, he could easily recognize this person as the troublesome customer from earlier in the day.

Who would have thought that this person, who appeared so normal during the day, would turn into a nighttime thief?

At this moment, the third person beckoned to his Dusclops, then chuckled, "You guys really have guts, daring to target a Gym Leader, especially when he's also an Elite level Trainers."

The second person sneered, "Aren't you here with us? Quit with the chatter. Besides, it's precisely because he's an Elite level Trainer that it's worth stealing from him!"

The first person agreed, "Exactly, think about all those Milotic. If we can get our hands on them, how much would they be worth? Moreover, there might be even more valuable high potential Pokémon here."

The third person chuckled inwardly, "The more ignorant they are, the more fearless they become. But if we alert the owner here, none of us will be able to escape!"

However, even though he knew it was dangerous here, he still wanted to come and check things out.

The second person said, "Enough talking, let's get to work quickly to avoid stirring up trouble!"

After saying that, he headed towards the roof of YoYo Day Care's Ecopark, with the first person following closely behind.

Seeing this, the third person didn't waste any more time and silently followed with his Dusclops.

After the three individuals left, beneath the eaves of YoYo Day Care, a pair of crimson eyes suddenly opened, sending a shiver down one's spine in the pitch-black night.

As these red-eyed creatures unfurled their wings, they turned out to be Crobat, Golbat, and Zubat, each hanging upside down from the eaves.

"Squeak, squeak..."

Crobat, Golbat, and Zubat swiftly flapped their wings, silently flying in the direction the three individuals had departed.

The man in black had scouted the area around YoYo Day Care during the daytime. He was adept at disguises, and during the day, he appeared with different faces around YoYo Day Care. Hence, the patrolling Pokémon couldn't detect anything unusual.

The entrance to the Ecopark faced directly towards the back door of Yuga's house, with only a distance of five to six meters between them. At this moment, everything was eerily quiet. After the three individuals lightly jumped down from the roof, they headed straight for the gate at the entrance of the Ecopark.

As they approached, the dormant Chandelure and Lampent surrounding the Ecopark were awakened.

Thud, thud, thud!

The blossoming azure flames lit up one after another, floating in mid-air like will-o-the-wisps. The Dusclops next to the third man seemed greatly frightened and tried to escape while holding onto its owner.
