Chapter 1042: YoYo Day Care’s Big Move

Chapter 1042: YoYo Day Care's Big Move Recently, a new resident arrived at the Ecopark's Shallow Beach – It was a Politoed.

It settled down at the central lake of Island No. 1, and becoming neighbors with the Poliwrath.

Although it was born in the wild, Politoed had a relatively gentle temperament.

So, not long after moving in, it quickly formed good relationships with the other Pokemon like Slowbro, Slowking, and Blastoise, etc.

However, Politoed possessed a unique trait – that is, it has the ability to command Poliwag and Poliwhirl, especially with its cry that had a significant deterrent effect on Poliwag and Poliwhirl.

Although both of them is the evolutionary forms of Poliwag and Politoed, the Poliwrath don't have this particular trait.

In a group of Poliwag and Poliwhirl, if there were both a Politoed and a Poliwrath, then the one who hold the leadership role would undoubtedly be the Politoed.

This racial trait is very similar with the dynamics among Slowpoke, Slowbro, and Slowking.

Both Politoed and Slowking held absolute leadership within their respective communities, and it was rare to find both Politoed and Poliwrath coexisting in the same colony.

Although Politoed's leadership didn't directly affect Poliwrath, the latter found Politoed's cry was extremely irritating.

Despite the Poliwrath's behavior has been changed after entering the Ecopark, there remained a rebellious spirit deep within its heart.

Having come from an unknown island, the Poliwrath, who had always fought for survival, was vastly different from the wild Pokemon residing near human towns.

Making it to submit to its racial instincts seemed nearly impossible.

It would be okay if it had lived in a group before, but it has always been alone.

In this situation, conflict soon arose between Politoed and Poliwrath.

Politoed was vey puzzled by Poliwrath's provocations.

Although it has become neighbors with Poliwrath, it had little interaction with it after it moving in to Ecopark.

On the contrary, it got along better with Blastoise.

Did Poliwrath take the wrong medicine?

Poliwrath's baseless provocation against Politoed received criticism from all Water-type Pokemon in the Shallow Beach Sub-Ecopark, including Gyarados, Blastoise, and Slowking.

Especially Gyarados, who still vividly remembered Poliwrath's lecherous behavior towards Milotic when it first arrived in the Ecopark.

Although this guy is a male, but something's off with it!

The Politoed's level was not high, and facing the Pseudo-Elite level Poliwrath naturally put it at a disadvantage, which consequently, it received support from other Pokemon.

No matter how arrogant Poliwrath was, it couldn't withstand the combined efforts of multiple Pokemon at the same time.

Soon, it shamefully went to complain to Yuga, and stating that everyone had teamed up to bully it.

Although Poliwrath was rebellious and headstrong, it was not the one who like to persist in a disadvantageous situation.

Its character lacked the stubbornness to endure losses, and when given a chance to seek support in adversity, it would not hesitate to take it.

After listening to Poliwrath's complaint, Yuga was astonished: "Didn't you ask me to find you a wife? I found one for you, and now you're bullying her?"

After saying this, Yuga felt a little bit guilty.

Poliwrath had indeed asked for a partner to him, but he had turned around and forgot about it.

He just realize it after he heard Poliwrath complaint about Politoed, so he hastily improvised and tell Poliwrath that it was its Wife – after all, Politoed was a female, and they were of the same species, so they would be good match.

However, Poliwrath was unaware of this fact and was utterly petrified upon hearing Yuga's words.

Wife... a wife...

If it had known that Politoed was supposed to be its wife, it wouldn't have caused any trouble!

Who wouldn't want a wife?

It didn't have many requirements; as long it was a female that would be enough.

In the past, the Poliwrath used to find fault with the Politoed, but now, upon hearing Yuga say that it was meant to be its wife, it suddenly found everything about Politoed adorable and lovely.

Looking at the shattered expression on the Poliwrath's face, Yuga pretended and said, "You brought this upon yourself, so you have to solve it on your own."

Upon hearing this, Poliwrath burst into tears and asked Yuga how it could win back its wife.

Poliwrath stood almost as tall as Yuga, with thick and muscular arms. Yuga, fearing it would break his waist, so he hastily pushed it away, and saying, "No hugging... I can't help you with this. You have to figure out how to appease her by yourself."

In the end, Poliwrath had no choice but to leave in despair, realizing that the road to winning back its wife was long.

After returning, Poliwrah changed its previous sharp and sarcastic attitude.

It became incredibly considerate and obedient to politoed.

Everyone thought it had taken the wrong medicine, but due to the poor first impression it gave to Politoed, it seemed unlikely for them to have any results in the short term.

After successfully fooling Poliwrath and sending it back, Yuga met Koichiro in the store.

That day after he leaving the YoYo Day Care, Koichiro come back with a response in the next day. After discussing it with his family, they decided to agree to Yuga's proposal.

Koichiro's visit today was to deliver the promised Magikarp to Yuga and take away the Beautie Pokeblock and Extender Pokeblock that Yuga provided.

After inviting Koichiro into the store, Yuga asked, "Have you brought the Pokemon?"

Koichiro nodded, saying, "Yes, they are all in the truck outside."

Yuga smiled and said, "Good, show me. If the numbers match, you can take what you want."

Koichiro breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, Gym Leader Shimizu, please follow me."

Following Koichiro outside, Yuga saw a large truck with water tanks in the cargo area.

Inside the tanks, Magikarp swam foolishly, and releasing bubbles as they went.

"Not bad," Yuga praised Koichiro sincerely as he looked at the Magikarp.

After confirming the numbers, Yuga said, "Alright, everything is in order. You can take what you need."

Koichiro let out a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you. Come, Gym Leader Shimizu, let me take you to see the goods."

Certainly deserving of being a family that specializes in breeding Magikarp, even without careful inspection, the excellent potential of these Magikarp can be seen from their bright red scales.

They surpass the ones previously sent by the Sootopolis Gym.

"There are twenty tanks here, each of them containing five Magikarp. The upper layer has green potential Magikarp, while the lower layer has yellow potential Magikarp," Koichiro carefully explained the situation of this batch of Magikarp to Yuga.

After introducing the Magikarp, Yuga had several Xatu to move these tanks to the new Ecopark using their Psychic.

Later, he would use the Innovation Potion on the yellow potential Magikarp.

If the potential advanced successfully, they would be sent to the Shallow Beach Sub-Ecopark along with the green potential Magikarp.

If not, they would remain in the new Ecopark.

After receiving the Magikarp, the satisfied Koichiro left Verdanturf Town the Beautie Pokeblock and Extender Pokeblock that Yuga had prepared.

After Koichiro's departure, Yuga sought out Windy, and asking him to add Magikarp, Feebas, Horsea, and Togepi to the sales list at the YoYo Day Care.

In addition, the previously listed Trapinch, Gligar, various Grass-type Pokémon, Carvanha, Clauncher, Ponyta, Vullaby, and Misdreavus were unified to be sold as one green potential individual per month.

The newly added Feebas, Magikarp, Horsea, Togepi, along with the previously listed Swablu and Medidite, were unified to be sold as one green potential individual once every two months.

Among them, Feebas, Magikarp, Horsea, Togepi, Swablu, and Medidite would take turns in sales.

In the first month, the sales list would include Feebas, Togepi, and Swablu, while the next month would feature Magikarp, Horsea, and Medidite.

After finalizing the details with Windy, Yuga had him announce this on the official website of the YoYo Day Care, starting from the next month.

As soon as this announcement was made, it immediately caused a stir online. Sёarᴄh the ηovёlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

This was the first time YoYo Day Care simultaneously offered four different Pokémon, especially with Feebas and Magikarp appearing right after the introduction of Beautie Pokeblock and Extender Pokeblock, making them particularly eye-catching.

The pricing for Feebas and Magikarp had already been adjusted in the announcement.

Feebas was priced at 300,000 each, and Magikarp at 280,000 each.

Considering the breeding costs (given the high prices of Beautie Pokeblock and Extender Pokeblock), Yuga did not raise the prices of Feebas and Magikarp to the levels of Trapinch, Gligar, Swablu, and other Pokémon, which were valued at 400,000 to 500,000.

However, the prices of 300,000 and 280,000 were still enough to be groundbreaking.

Previously, a green potential Magikarp or Feebas was priced roughly the same as a green potential Weedle or Caterpie, around 100,000 each.

Even at these prices, they were not necessarily more popular than Weedle or Caterpie.

Because Caterpie and Weedle can be purchased and almost guaranteed to evolve to their final stages, with low breeding costs and quickly developed combat power, they are an ideal choice for many trainers who are not very wealthy during their novice period.

Buying a Feebas or Magikarp and raising them for several years or even more might still result in just a Feebas or Magikarp, making it not worth the effort.

However, with the introduction of Beautie Pokeblock and Extender Pokeblock, this is no longer an issue.

The value of Feebas and Magikarp will naturally increase, as who wouldn't want a Milotic or Gyarados!

With the recent price increase by Yuga, many Day Cares are likely to realize the potential of Feebas and Magikarp.

They might even consider prioritizing the breeding of Feebas and Magikarp.

Compared to other Pokémon, the breeding costs for Feebas and Magikarp are much lower because both species have a robust vitality, they can surviving even in shallow water puddles.

Of course, breeding low potential Feebas and Magikarp is not very meaningful, as the prices of Beautie Pokeblock and Extender Pokeblock determine that it's not easy to sell low potential Feebas and Magikarp.

Breeding high potential Pokémon is not something that can be accomplished overnight, especially when others don't have Innovation Potion.

Although Innovation Potion is now available for public purchase, the limited monthly supply makes it inaccessible for most people.

Despite the buzz on the internet, Yuga speculates that his Magikarp and Feebas may not sell easily in the short term.

People are still observing the effects of Beautie Pokeblock and Extender Pokeblock, even though the likelihood of YoYo Day Care deceiving customers is very low.

However, Yuga overlooks one thing: he has the support of the Pokémon League.

While the business of Beautie Pokeblock and Extender Pokeblock is unrelated to the League, the trust in Yuga and YoYo Day Care has skyrocketed with the success of Innovation Potion.

After the announcement of YoYo Day Care's plans, even though the effects of Beautie Pokeblock and Extender Pokeblock have not yet been fully demonstrated, the Pokemon Day Cares of all sizes have collectively increased the prices of the Magikarp and Feebas they hold.

Some are even planning to discreetly purchase them at lower prices before the prices of these two Pokémon rise even further.

The Magikarp and Feebas from YoYo Day Care were pre-ordered with lightning speed in the first month of being listed, but that's a story for later.

It can be said that with his efforts, Yuga single-handedly turned around the fate of Magikarp and Feebas.

Apart from the sensation caused by Magikarp and Feebas, the newly introduced Pokémon, Togepi and Horsea, by YoYo Day Care also created a considerable buzz.

These two Pokemon are rare Pokémon.

Although Horsea lacks of the Dragon-type attribute before it evolved into kingdra.

These Pokémon typically inhabit in the deep-sea areas, which making them rare in the wild unless they arer artificially bred.

As for Togepi, it's even more remarkable.

So far, There is no Pokemon Day Care has had the ability to include this Pokémon in their regular sales list, but YoYo Day Care is the first.

Togepi is exceptionally rare, much like Ralts and Riolu.

Encountering one is already fortunate, let alone having it available for sale every two months.

Yuga priced Horsea at 400,000, while Togepi price is set at 600,000, making it the highest-priced Pokémon among the high potential Pokémon available at YoYo Day Care.

Despite Togepi's high price, there's still many trainers who were eager to secure a reservation slot after noticing the new announcement on the official website.

This move made by YoYo Day Care garnered a lot of attention, and many loyal customers eagerly awaited their chance to reserve at the beginning of the month.

This time, YoYo Day Care made significant moves, not only introducing four high potential Pokémon at once but also increasing the monthly sales limit for some Pokémon.

This means that YoYo Day Care will sell at least 11 high potential Pokémon in a month, and that was something most Pokemon Day Cares can't achieve.

YoYo Day Care gained fame in just a few years.

Due to Yuga's big actions, the system determined at the beginning of the month that Yuga had completed a hidden mission — rising to prominence.

As a reward, Yuga received a new Pokeblock formula, a universal formula for Normal-type Pokémon.

With this new Pokeblock formula, Yuga now only lacks formulas for Electric-type and Fighting-type Pokémon.

The newly acquired Pokeblock formula was named "Communication Node" by Yuga and handed over to Misaki and the others.

After the end of the fierce competition for Pokémon reservations at the beginning of the month, the trainers who had secured the resservations slots began their journey to YoYo Day Care in the Verdanturf Town, including Ogata.

Ogata is a true old customer of YoYo Day Care.

He lived in Verdanturf Town before and he purchased a yellow potential Shroomish (now evolved into Breloom) from YoYo Day Care as his initial Pokemon.

At that time, Yuga's parents were still alive, and Yuga had not taken over the YoYo Day Care.

Later, Ogata's parents became successful in business, and they moved out from Verdanturf Town to the Ever Grande City.

It was only when he noticed YoYo Day Care's official website online that he became a customer again and gradually developed into a loyal fan.

He bought all his Pokémon-related items, such as Pokeblocks and incense, through online shopping at YoYo Day Care.

Although his initial Pokémon was just a yellow potential Breloom, money was not an issue for him after his family became wealthy.

Therefore, Ogata always wanted to reserve a high potential Pokémon at YoYo Day Care.

However, it was challenging to secure a reservation slot due to the high demand for YoYo Day Care's Pokémon.

On the first day of this month, as soon as the clock struck midnight, Ogata opened his computer to make a reservation.

Surprisingly, he managed to secure a slot, and it was for a Togepi, so he excitedly took a flight from Ever Grande City to Verdanturf Town the next day.
