I'm the Owner of the Pokémon Day Care In the World of Pokémon

Chapter 35: Achievements and Developments

Speaking of the past week, Yuga had managed to sell quite a few Pokémon eggs. A large portion of these were purchased by those companions who hadn't been able to buy eggs from Grandma Lanca before. Yuga counted them carefully, and in total, he had sold about 7 eggs.

Selling this many Pokémon eggs in a week might not be considered great business, but it definitely wasn't bad either.

It's worth mentioning that Pokémon eggs weren't everyday items. Even though human life had completely integrated with the world of Pokémon since the development of the Pokémon League, not every household kept Pokémon. Pokémon and their eggs were considered luxury items. Even the cheapest eggs, those with red or orange aptitude ratings, cost several thousand dollars. Pokémon hatchlings were even more expensive, with higher aptitude ones easily reaching tens of thousands, and those in the hundreds of thousands weren't uncommon.

Furthermore, selling Pokémon eggs was already a high-profit business. Just the net profit from selling 7 eggs was several tens of thousands. Yuga was doing pretty well for himself, not too bad but also not overly excessive.

His parents' business never used to be this good when they were alive.

Yuga felt he should find some time to properly thank Grandma Lanca.

Meanwhile, after a week of hard work, Yuga Pokémon were starting to show results from their training.

Floette had finally shed its reputation of being somewhat useless. Not only had its level increased to 26, but it had also started using Magical Leaf and Fairy Wind more skillfully. While it might not have achieved perfection, it was now capable of participating in normal battles without a problem.

Absol, being naturally higher in level, didn't improve as fast as Floette. It had only gone from level 32 to 33. However, it had become much more versatile in using its skills. Moves like Quick Attack, Pursuit, and Psycho Cut were not only more coherent but also more powerful.

Even its Swords Dance took less time for Absol to perform.

As for Chimecho, it rarely participated in actual combat training and mostly relied on physical training and skill practice. So, its level increase was minimal, going from level 18 to 20. However, its Gravity and Heal Pulse moves were very popular among the other Pokémon.

Regarding Murkrow, Houndour, and Vulpix, their strength had also seen notable improvements.

Murkrow level had gone from 21 to 24, Houndour from 15 to 19, and Vulpix' from 17 to 21. Since they weren't the main battle Pokémon, Yuga had less strict requirements for their training compared to Floette and the others. Especially in terms of skill training, he only focused on making them comfortable with using their skills smoothly and didn't push them to explore more advanced aspects.

And then there were the 32 genetically defective Pokémon eggs. After a week of continuous soaking in gene-repair elixir twice a day, their surfaces, though they hadn't hatched successfully yet, had become smooth and glossy. It was as if they had been replaced with a new batch of eggs.

Every day, Yuga looked forward to seeing what cute Pokémon would hatch from those eggs.

In summary, during the past week, he had been managing the shop, training his Pokémon, and supervising construction. Although he couldn't be described as busy, Yuga was definitely leading a fulfilling life.

On this day, during lunchtime, Yuga took his six Pokémon to the Pokémon Center to have their health checked by Nurse Joy.

The training intensity Yuga had imposed on his Pokémon during the past week was quite high. Even though he had Chimecho, who specialized in recovery, Yuga wasn't a professional medical practitioner, so he believed it was necessary to have his Pokémon examined regularly to ensure their well-being.

Yuga original self rarely visited Pokémon Centers. He had never considered becoming a Pokémon Trainer, and he hadn't made any future plans after coming here. However, given his current circumstances, he realized that he would likely be dealing with Pokémon Centers more frequently in the future.

Perhaps due to it being lunchtime, the Pokémon Center was quite busy. There were people checking in, eating, and getting their Pokémon treated. Nurse Joy and her Chansey were bustling around, busy attending to everyone needs.

Yuga walked up to the counter and said to Nurse Joy, "Nurse Joy, I'd like to have my Pokémon checked."

Although Nurse Joy was sweating from being busy, she still smiled at Yuga and said, "Of course, please place your Poké Balls here."

Nurse Joy pointed to a small cart pushed by Chansey, which had six hollow circular slots designed to hold Poké Balls.

Yuga took out his six Poké Balls and placed them on the cart, and then Chansey pushed them into the medical room.

"Please wait patiently for a while. Once the check is done, we'll call you in the lobby."

While registering Yuga information, Nurse Joy smiled and said to him.

"Alright, thank you, Nurse Joy."

Yuga thought to himself: Truly, the Joy family, one of the two renowned families in the world, provides impeccable service with such thoughtful smiles.

Afterward, Yuga went to the waiting area, waiting for the broadcast notification from the Pokémon Center lobby after his Pokémon were checked.

Just as Yuga was about to sit down in the waiting area, his attention was caught by two colorful posters posted on the wall.

With nothing better to do, Yuga walked up to the posters to see what was written on them.

The first poster contained information about a Pokémon battle competition.

The competition was named the "Verdanturf Town Youth Pokémon Battle Tournament," organized by the well-known Devon Corporation branch in Verdanturf Town.

When it came to Devon Corporation, almost everyone in Hoenn region was familiar with it.

Devon Corporation full name was Devon Corporation Co., Ltd., headquartered in Rustboro City, Hoenn region, simply referred to as Devon.

It was said that a few years ago, it was just a small company, but under the leadership of its current president, Mr. Stone, it had developed to the point of rivaling Silph Company, a long-standing company in Kanto region.

Keep in mind that Silph Company had been a dominant force in Kanto region for many years.

Devon Corporation was involved in a wide range of industries, including Poké Balls, Pokeblocks, Pokémon food, and carrying items, all catering to Pokémon Trainers.

Currently, Devon Corporation was particularly famous for their popular Pokémon running shoes, Pokémon navigators, and various newly developed Poké Balls.

It could be said that Devon Corporation had integrated itself into every aspect of Pokémon Trainers' lives in Hoenn region.

The Pokeblocks and Pokémon food Yuga Pokémon consumed, the Poké Balls he had used before, and even the Pokémon egg incubator in his shop, were all from Devon Corporation.

Yuga memory also recalled that they were researching a project related to fossil revival.

Although Yuga didn't know how their research had progressed during this timeframe, there was no doubt that they eventually succeeded.

Yuga also remembered that the research institute in Cinnabar Island had a similar technology. But whether there was any connection between the two or just a coincidence, Yuga had no way of knowing.

Devon Corporation president, Mr. Stone son, Steven Stone, was expected to become the champion of Hoenn region in the future. With this relationship, Devon Corporation future development was undoubtedly bright.

The branch of Devon Corporation in Verdanturf Town was not large, as Verdanturf Town, although somewhat well-known in Hoenn region, wasn't a big city.

The poster didn't mention the purpose of this competition, and its scale wasn't large. The participants' age was limited to under sixteen, and Yuga had just passed the cutoff.

Yuga thought he could consider participating. The ranking wasn't important; what mattered was giving his Pokémon a chance to train.

The way to participate was simple: just go to the competition location on the day of the event and register within the specified time.
