Chapter 1027: Home Delivery

Chapter 1027: Home Delivery The escort team dispatched the Innovation Potion in batches to various League branches, and the unfortunate incident occurred with the team heading to the Kalos League.

The attackers, donning black and white masks, were the same individuals who had previously targeted the Nami Trio.

Five members of the ambushed escort team lost their lives, with over ten severely injured. Their aircraft was also shot down, resulting in significant losses.

It's undeniable that the once secretive Heaven organization is now acting more brazenly.

This incident deeply infuriated the Kalos League branch because most of the ambushed team members were carefully selected trainers from Kalos League that was sent to serve at the Verdanturf Town distribution department.

Upon learning of the attack on the escort team, the Kalos League branch promptly dispatched Glacia, one of the Elite Four, to investigate the Heaven organization. They also requested assistance from the Hoenn League branch for the investigation.

Naturally, the Hoenn League had no objections, as they had always wanted to eliminate the Heaven organization. Furthermore, since the incident occurred within the Hoenn region's jurisdiction, it was their responsibility to aid the Kalos League branch in resolving the matter.

The Hoenn League took this matter very seriously and deployed Mr. Drake along with a Deputy Head from the Investigation Bureau to collaborate with the Kalos League in investigating the Heaven organization.

Yuga had been closely following the developments of this incident. However, now that the Innovation Potion had been sent from the Verdanturf Gym, whether it encountered trouble or not, it was beyond Yuga's control. For now, he could only hope for effective assistance from the Hoenn and Kalos League branches.

However, the two enraged League branches demonstrated high efficiency. They swiftly located several Heaven organization bases, apprehended numerous individuals, and dismantled several of their labs.

Even the League hadn't anticipated the scale of the Heaven organization. Each of their bases housed a considerable number of members, and the strength of their trainers within the organization was quite impressive.

The League managed to capture several leaders and even a couple of high-ranking officials. However, due to the potent brainwashing abilities of the Heaven organization, the captured leaders and officials committed suicide before interrogation. As for the lower-ranking members, they were largely uninformed about the organization's operations, rendering their interrogation futile.

A little over ten days passed, and Yuga checked for the latest news about the Heaven organization. The two League branches had raided yet another laboratory of the Heaven organization and detained several research personnel. Unfortunately, the black and white duo that leading the Heaven organization remained elusive. It seemed that the captured individuals had no connection with them.

Setting aside the affairs concerning the Heaven organization, Yuga cheerfully left his place and headed to the Distribution Department building.

The incident involving the Kalos League's escort team had cast a shadow over the atmosphere within the Distribution Department's building. They now truly understood why the benefits for the escort team were so high—there was real danger involved. Losing so many lives on their first assignment highlighted the level of danger they faced.

Today was the day when various escort teams were returning from other League branches. It was also the day when the League Headquarters and Alola had promised to deliver Pseudo-Legendary Pokémon to Yuga.

The Pokémon were brought back by the returning escort team. Originally, the head of the Distribution Department, Nan Jenny, intended for their department to deliver the Pokémon to the YoYo Day Care. However, Yuga was too impatient and decided to personally pick them up.

The guards at the entrance of the Distribution Department building were very familiar with Yuga. Upon seeing him wanting to enter the building, they politely nodded at him and readily allowed him in.

At the building's front desk sat a Nurse Joy. Besides her role as the receptionist for the Distribution Department, she also served as the exclusive doctor for all the escort teams.

Seeing Yuga enter, Nurse Joy greeted him with a wide smile, "Gym Leader Shimizu is here. Are you looking for Director Nan?"

Confirming with a nod, Yuga replied, "Yes."

"Please wait for a moment," Nurse Joy said and proceeded to call Nan Jenny's office. After receiving permission, she hung up and told Yuga, "Director Nan requests your presence upstairs."

"Thank you," Yuga expressed his gratitude and proceeded towards the elevator.

Nan Jenny's office was on the penultimate floor of the Distribution Department building. Yuga had been there a couple of times in the past few days, so he navigated his way to the respective floor using the elevator.

As soon as Yuga stepped out of the elevator, he spotted an elite gentleman waiting for him, clad in a suit and sporting golden-rimmed glasses.

"Good morning, Secretary Tachibana," Yuga greeted the elite gentleman with a smile.

The full name of the elite man was Shizuka Tachibana, which might sound like a female name but he was indeed a robust man. He currently served as the personal assistant to Nan Jenny, the head of the Distribution Department.

"Good morning, Gym Leader Shimizu," Shizuka Tachibana respectfully exchanged greetings with Yuga.

"Is Gym Leader Shimizu here for the batch of Pokémon that the escort team brought back yesterday?" Shizuka Tachibana inquired as they walked forward.

"Yes," Yuga nodded. "Can I pick them up today?"

"Of course," Shizuka Tachibana assured, "In fact, you've made things easier for us. There's no need for us to take the Pokémon to your place."

As they approached Nan Jenny's office, they overheard a bout of furious yelling from within.

"What? Arrange? Who do you think you are, ordering me aRoundy like that? Get out of here this instant! If you dare to call me again, I'll..."

The outburst successfully halted Yuga's steps.

"Is this a bad time?" Yuga inquired.

Shizuka Tachibana, used to such scenes, remained composed, "Shall we collect the Pokémon first? I'll inform Director Nan."

"Sure," Yuga agreed. It wasn't the best time to meet Nan Jenny now.

As they proceeded, Shizuka Tachibana explained to Yuga, "Sorry for the disturbance, Gym Leader. Recently, Director Nan received calls from certain individuals who wanted to send people into the Distribution Department, which is why she's in such a temper."

Actually, Nan Jenny's temper has always been that way. Referring to her as a "female Gyarados" would not be an exaggeration. Nobody knows her better in this aspect than Yuga, despite only having met her recently.

However, Yuga refrained from mentioning this fact, considering the limited time he'd known Nan Jenny.

But the reason behind Nan Jenny's anger was indeed real. And the person who wanted to arrange people to be sent to the Distribution Department was none other than Nan Jenny's own younger brother.

Nan Jenny belongs to the Jenny family, but her father isn't part of it. After her mother passed away, her father remarried and soon had another child, her younger brother.

Her father was a loose and irresponsible person, which caused Nan Jenny to have a poor relationship with him since childhood. After his remarriage, Nan Jenny directly moved into the Jenny family and didn't live with her father. Her half-brother, influenced by their father, also became a similarly irresponsible individual.

Several days ago, Nan Jenny's younger brother started calling her, wanting to send his son to the Distribution Department.

However, Nan Jenny wouldn't even care about her father's face; how could she entertain this emotionally disconnected brother? It was obviously impossible.

Hearing Shizuka Tachibana's words, Yuga curiously asked, "With the incident involving the Kalos escort team, are people still eager to join the Distribution Department?"

Shizuka Tachibana wryly smiled and said, "How could they not be? The Distribution Department does pose risks, but..." He glanced at Yuga.

Understanding Shizuka Tachibana's glance, Yuga immediately grasped the underlying reason. In the end, it boiled down to personal gains. Despite the risks in the Distribution Department, the opportunity to establish a connection with Yuga and secure a share of the Innovation Potion... the benefits in that were evident.

Seeing Yuga silent, Shizuka Tachibana added, "Moreover, the Distribution Department isn't just about the escort teams. There are many administrative roles, like mine."

Shizuka Tachibana's current position had probably attracted envy from many behind his back. If not for Nan Jenny's high status within the Jenny family and the League, someone else might have claimed his position long ago.

As they conversed while walking, they soon arrived at the door of a warehouse. After Shizuka Tachibana inputting a series of codes, the door to the warehouse opened with a 'beep' sound.

This warehouse served as the place to store important items for the Distribution Department. In the future, the Innovation Potion sent from the Verdanturf Gym would also be temporarily stored here.

Guided by Shizuka Tachibana, Yuga arrived at a shelf where two large box were placed.

"Your Pokémon are stored in these two box," Shizuka Tachibana announced, taking the box down from the shelf and opening them in front of Yuga. Inside the box were neatly arranged Poké Balls.

"Do you want to open the Poké Balls to check the Pokémon inside, Gym Leader Shimizu?" Shizuka Tachibana asked Yuga, holding up one of the Poké Balls. Searᴄh the Nôvel(F)ire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Yuga smiled and shook his head, saying, "That won't be necessary. I trust the League."

Shizuka Tachibana nodded and placed the Poké Balls back into the box, securely locking them. "Let me walk you out," he offered.

Exiting the warehouse, Yuga asked, "Should I go see Nan Jenny?"

Shizuka Tachibana shook his head, "Not today. She's surely furious. I'll explain this matter to her."

Nodding, Yuga left the Distribution Department with the two box in hand.

Returning to the YoYo Day Care, Yuga immediately entered the Ecopark and checked the Pokémon in the box. Just like the promise from the headquarters and Alola, not a single Pokémon was missing from the box.

Both the headquarters and Alola had sent a pair of Tyranitar and a pair of Kommo-o. Each pair had one blue potential, with the female possessing the blue potential in the Tyranitar couple, and the male possessing it in the Kommo-o couple.

Yuga placed the Tyranitar couple plus fifteen Larvitar and eight Pupitar into the Mine sub-Ecopark. As for the Kommo-o couple and ten Jangmo-o, they were rightfully placed in the Dragon's Den sub-Ecopark.

These Pokémon had already been trained and conditioned by the headquarters and Alola, thus, upon meeting their new owner, Yuga, they behaved calmly without any trouble.

Feeling pleased, Yuga found Roundy and Beauty, and gave them a series of instructions regarding the Tyranitar and Kommo-o, then left the Ecopark.

However, as soon as Yuga departed the Ecopark, the initially peaceful Tyranitar and Kommo-o started causing chaos.

The infamous "Desert Tyrant," Tyranitar, evidently wasn't meant to be a docile Pokémon. The first thing it did upon entering the Mine sub-Ecopark was to assert its dominance, much like what the Aggron did when they first arrived, or even more assertively.

The League headquarters knew that Yuga was slightly at a disadvantage in this trade. Therefore, the pair of Tyranitar not only were in their prime and righteous adults but also boasted high levels. This resulted in them bulldozing their way up the mountainside in the Mine.

The Aron and Lairon who live at the foot of mountainside and Aggron who living at the mountainside were no match for the two Tyranitar.

Even the few Magnemite, Magneton, and Magnezone present were completely ignored by the Tyranitar.

Watching the Tyranitar couple sweeping across, the Larvitar and Pupitar who following them were thrilled, especially the Larvitar. They twisted their little bodies, almost wishing to grow an extra butt just to accommodate their fantastic airs.

Despite the majestic stature of the Tyranitar, each Larvitar displayed an eccentric and humorous personality. If it weren't for their short legs, they could have easily hopped three feet high.

Thankfully, the Pupitar remained composed; although their eyes couldn't conceal their pride, their behavior was relatively normal.

Reaching the summit of the mine, the Tyranitar couple inevitably met the king of the mountain, the Giant Steelix.

Following its evolution, Steelix's size was slightly smaller than when its sill an Onix, but this was relative. The current Steelix still resembled a winding dragon, emanating a strong and imposing aura, this is also the reason why the Aggron had always remained docile.

While the Tyranitar pair could be labeled as "gigantic beasts,", but in the front of the Steelix, they were hardly worth mentioning, almost like two small chicks.

However, the Tyranitar showed no fear of the oppressive aura emanating from the Steelix. The male stepped forward, roaring at the Steelix, terrifying the Aron and Lairon down the mountain.

The Steelix disdainfully glanced at the male Tyranitar, which angered the male. But just as it was about to charge, the female Tyranitar intervened.

Despite the male Tyranitar's reluctance, under the watchful eyes of the female, it silently retreated.

After the male Tyranitar stepped back, the female Tyranitar advanced, exerting all its power and confronting the Steelix directly.

Swish, swish, swish...

Countless Stone Edges were controlled by the Tyranitar but were deflected effortlessly by the Steelix using its Iron Tail, leaving the Steelix completely unscathed.

Although the Tyranitar was formidable, facing the Steelix, which was now an Elite level Pokémon, their efforts were almost in vain.

The female Tyranitar, despite giving it her all, couldn't inflict any damage on the Steelix, leaving her feeling defeated and conceding.

However, the Steelix admired the female Tyranitar, permitting her to settle on the mountaintop with the Larvitar and Pupitar.

Similar chaos unfolded in the Dragon's Den sub-Ecopark, but the Kommo-o situation was starkly different from the Tyranitar.
