Chapter 395: Mutual Exchange
Normally, she used her special Grassy Terrain to simultaneously exchange energy with all the Pokémon in the Ecopark.
This method of training not only rapidly strengthened her but also enhanced her understanding and control of Grass-type abilities. It even accelerated the growth of other Grass-type Pokémon.
Subsequently, Yuga began to consider himself as a Grass-type Pokémon too. Every day, he sat in Florges's Grassy Terrain with Bellossom, Ivysaur, and Shroomish, practicing alongside the Grass-type Pokémon.
Surprisingly, this method yielded better results compared to practicing alone with Bellossom, Ivysaur, and Shroomish.
Mr. Kuni'o probably never imagined that Yuga and Florges would develop such a unique training method.
During these days, Yuga became engrossed in his training and delegated the shop's affairs to Suzuki Koen, while the Ecopark was managed by Audino and Wigglytuff.
On the fourth day of Yuga's return to Verdanturf Town, Reggie finally arrived as promised, accompanied by his younger brother Paul.
"You've finally arrived! I thought you'd call and rush here immediately. You made me rush back from Mauville City!" Yuga complained as he led Reggie and Paul into the shop.
Reggie rolled his eyes and retorted, "I came for a vacation in Hoenn, not specifically to see you. Why would I be in a hurry?"
Yuga felt as if an arrow had pierced his heart upon hearing that.
"Big brother, your words cut deep!" Yuga quipped.
Guiding the two brothers to a table, Miltank brought two glasses of Moomoo Milk and Sweet Drinks made by Audino, placing them on the table.
"Paul, it's been a while. Have you grown taller? Try this and see if it's delicious!" Yuga pushed the drink toward Paul.
Paul nodded and took a sip, immediately won over by Audino's culinary skills.
Yes, these special drinks were concocted by Audino, using Moomoo Milk and Sweet Honey, supplemented with various berry juices. They were not only delicious but also beneficial for both humans and Pokémon.
"Considering the hurtful words your big brother just said, I've decided to serve him plain water!" Yuga jokingly said.
"Oh, no, don't be like this! I was just joking, joking! Of course, I came all this way just to see you!" Seeing Paul drinking with enjoyment on his face,
Reggie swallowed his saliva and hurriedly beg for mercy.
"Alright, alright, I won't tease you anymore." Yuga smiled and pushed the glass of water toward Reggie.
"This time you came for a vacation, do you have any plans?"
Reggie thought for a moment and replied, "Nothing special, just like when we traveled through Sinnoh before. We'll challenge the gyms in order and then participate in the Pokémon League Conference."
Yuga ruffled Paul's hair and said, "Traveling can be quite challenging. Is Paul coming along too?"
Paul nodded firmly.
"There's no other way; he insisted on coming, and Grandpa agreed," Reggie said with a wry smile.
Yuga chuckled and said, "Well, that's good. It will help him gain experience. Traveling alone in the future will be much easier as long as he doesn't mind the hardships."
Suddenly, Reggie slapped his forehead and said, "Oh, right, Grandpa wanted me to discuss something with you during this visit."
"Your Grandpa sent you? What is it?" Yuga asked, puzzled.
Reggie said, "As you know, our Blue Sky Day Care specializes in the Starly line. Lately, Grandpa wants to introduce some new species, so he sent me to ask you."
Yuga seemed to understand after hearing this. "Are you saying that Grandpa wants to introduce the Swellow line from Hoenn region?"
Reggie nodded. "Yes, but Grandpa doesn't know anyone in Hoenn region's Day Cares. He thought of asking you for help."
Yuga pondered for a moment and asked, "How many does he need?"
Reggie replied, "Around ten. Most Day Cares prefer Pokémon with green potential or higher for breeding."
Yuga suggested, "Ten Taillows or Swellows would work. In exchange, you can use ten of the Starly line. How does that sound?"
Yuga was actually interested in introducing Pokémon from other regions to diversify the offerings at the YoYo Day Care. The Starly line seemed like a good choice. Staraptor its final evolution was not only visually appealing but also one of the larger Flying-type Pokémon, likely to be welcomed by trainers in need of flying mounts or those who liked Flying-type Pokémon. Moreover, as one of the few Flying-types capable of easily learning close combat techniques, Staraptor was highly popular among ordinary trainers in Hoenn.
Excited, Reggie said, "That's great! Grandpa had the same idea but was concerned about the feasibility. Buying fully grown Pokémon with money can be inconvenient. However, if two Day Cares collaborate, it becomes much easier. This sort of thing is quite common among Day Cares, and the League is relatively lenient in this regard."
Perhaps speaking too much, Reggie felt his throat dry and took a sip from his glass.
"Goodness, this is incredibly delicious!" Reggie exclaimed.
The rich flavor of Moomoo's milk, the sweetness of Sweet Honey, and the freshness of various berry juices had been cleverly blended together.
Reggie glanced at his little brother, whose cup was already empty, and saw him looking at Reggie's cup with hopeful eyes.
Reggie hurriedly tilted his head back and emptied his cup.
Observing this, Yuga shook his head. "What a pair of brothers you are! There are elder siblings who dote on their younger ones and then there's you!"
Unperturbed, Reggie asked, "What's this called? Why is it so delicious?"
Yuga sighed in exasperation. "You're not a child anymore! How can you be so gluttonous?"
Reggie nonchalantly replied, "What's the big deal? I enjoy it!"
"Alright, alright, you're insatiable! Stay for lunch, and you'll get to taste our genuine culinary delights!" Yuga said.
When it came to Audino's culinary skills, Yuga had immense confidence. Especially since he returned from his training, he had truly earned the title of "culinary god."
