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

Chapter 983: Milolovide

With no leads to follow, Yuga and Liliana had to temporarily set this matter aside. Verdanturf Town couldn\'t remain in a state of constant vigilance, as it might lead to panic among the residents.

However, there was an interesting development at the Verdanturf Gym recently. A highly skilled and strong challenger had arrived, piquing Yuga\'s curiosity and caution.

This trainer\'s name was Milolovide, and he easily defeated three of Yuga\'s Pokémon with only one Scizor in the Gym battle, earning himself the Verdant Badge.

Of course, the reason for his easy victory over Yuga was that Yuga didn\'t use his main team Pokemon in the Gym battle, and he was taken by surprise at how strong Milolovide turned out to be.

According to Milolovide, he had come to challenge the Verdanturf Gym not for the Badge but to test his skills against strong opponents.

He was currently traveling to various places, seeking battles with formidable trainers wherever he could find them.

After the Gym battle with Yuga, Milolovide decided to stay in Verdanturf Town for a while, wanting to experience the unique charm of this small town.

With such a strong trainer in town, Yuga couldn\'t ignore the situation. He deployed several powerful and stealthy Ghost-type Pokémon to keep an eye on Milolovide.

However, Yuga soon received information from the White Light Intelligence Bureau about Milolovide\'s identity. It turned out that he was no ordinary trainer; in fact, he was quite famous within the Pokémon League and various major factions.

Milolovide, 33 years old, was the second son of the prominent Rite family, one of the major conglomerates in the Kanto region. He was an Elite level trainer and the guardian of the Rite family, renowned as the strongest among them.

The Kanto region was where the Pokémon League originated, and it developed early, giving rise to many major conglomerates, including the Sasaki family, which is James and Windy\'s belong to. The Silph Co. who controlled the cross-regional mega-corporation and others. And the Rite family was another formidable conglomerate in the Kanto region, comparable to the Sasaki family and Silph Co.

Milolovide was the second son of the Rite family, and his elder brother, Gillruta, was the current head of the family and a famous collector.

However, Milolovide wasn\'t the Rite family\'s biological child. He was adopted by the family, a fact well-known both within the family and to the public.

According to the information from the White Light Bureau, Milolovide\'s father was once a trusted confidant of the previous head of the Rite family.

After this confidant disappeared, the previous family head found his child, Milolovide, and brought him back to the Rite family, raising and nurturing him as their own. The family spent considerable resources in grooming him into the remarkable talent he became.

This fact was not a well-kept secret, and anyone who cared to inquire could easily learn about it.

While Milolovide\'s success was partially attributed to the Rite family\'s support, his achievements were also the result of his personal efforts and talent.

Many envy the Rite family for being fortunate enough to adopt this child, effortlessly gaining a genius trainer. Any Elite level trainer is crucial for a major power, and Milolovide, unlike the average "Elite Trainer," is known for his strength by those who have faced him.

Currently, the Rite family has two sons, the elder being a business genius, taking over the family\'s position in the commercial sector. The second son is a genius trainer responsible for the family\'s martial strength.

These two are well-known in the outside world, but as heirs to a major power, they are seen as someone else\'s children in the eyes of other factions.

However, in recent years, Milolovide has gradually faded from the public eye, and there hasn\'t been any news about him for a long time, which is why Yuga hasn\'t heard of him.

When Milolovide became famous as a trainer, Yuga had not yet transmigrated, and the original owner of the body is a reclusive person, so he was unaware of many of the famous names in the League is normal.

Milolovide\'s presence in Verdanturf Town had piqued Yuga\'s interest, and he couldn\'t help but watch him closely. Therefore, he deployed several powerful Ghost-type Pokémon known for their strength and stealth to monitor Milolovide.

Yuga knew that with someone of Milolovide\'s caliber in town, he needed to stay vigilant and learn more about this Mysterious trainer.

Upon learning about Milolovide\'s identity, Yuga couldn\'t help but wonder why he had suddenly appeared in Verdanturf Town.

This led him to consider the mysterious financial backer mentioned by the White Light Intelligence Bureau, the one who had invested in Sowise Megamarket.

However, reports from the Ghost-type Pokémon monitoring Milolovide indicated that he had been very well-behaved during his time in Verdanturf Town.

He either strolled around town or shopped at YoYo Day Care, and he hadn\'t made contact with any suspicious individuals.

Milolovide had considerable financial resources, and he purchased items like Pokeblock and Incense in bulk, contributing significantly to the sales at YoYo Day Care.

If it weren\'t for the high potential Pokemon in YoYo\'s Day Care who needed to make reservations in advance, and he didn\'t like the low potential Pokemon, he might also have bought the Pokemon in batches.

On the day when Yuga had just picked up the Razor Fangs he had requested from his neighbor, Mr. Kate, Milolovide paid him a visit.

Surprised by Milolovide\'s sudden appearance, Yuga asked, "Mr. Rite, what can I do for you?"

Milolovide replied with a smile, "I\'d like to make a deal with Gym Leader Shimizu."

"A deal?" Yuga inquired, "What kind of deal?"

Milolovide got straight to the point and said, "I want that green gem, and I\'m willing to offer a price. You name it!"

Yuga\'s eyelids twitched at the mention of the "green gem."

He couldn\'t help but blurt out, "What green gem?"

Milolovide looked steadily into Yuga\'s eyes and replied calmly, "The gem from the Togepi Paradise."

Milolovide had considered stealing the green gem discreetly, but he couldn\'t find it since Togekiss hadn\'t located it.

Moreover, with Ghost-type Pokémon constantly guarding YoYo Day Care and Verdanturf Gym day and night, covert actions were not an option.

It was more simpler to make an open request directly. As the second son of the Rite family, money was not something they lacked.

However, after proposing a legitimate trade, he wouldn\'t be able to use those black methods in the future, as he would become the primary suspect.

Yuga fixed his gaze on Milolovide\'s eyes, squinting slightly, and asked, "Is Hans\'s death also related to you?"

A few days ago, Princess Cela had informed Yuga that Hans had died silently in his cell, an incident that initially had nothing to do with Yuga. However, after some thought, the princess decided to notify him.

Upon hearing "Hans," Milolovide\'s eyes didn\'t reveal any emotional fluctuations.

He asked in confusion, "Hans? Who is that?"

Yuga didn\'t press further on the matter of Hans\'s death and shifted to another question, "Do you know the Togekiss that left Togepi Paradise?"

The existence of the green gem in Togepi Paradise was known only to Dusknoir and the Togepi, Togetic and Togekiss who live in the Togepi Paradise. Even the Mirage royal family was unaware of the green gem\'s existence.

Milolovide did not deny and replied openly, "Yes, I\'m familiar with it."

"Where is it?" Yuga pressed.

"No comment!" Milolovide refused to answer Yuga\'s question without hesitation.

"Then I\'ll have to withhold the whereabouts of the green gem as well!" Even though the green gem had already disappeared, Yuga could use it to get information about the rebellious Togekiss.

Milolovide didn\'t seem angered by this response. He understood Togekiss\'s and Togepi Paradise\'s history and he also understood Yuga\'s desire to find Togekiss.

However, he wouldn\'t reveal Togekiss\'s location, at least not at this moment.

After a moment of thought, Milolovide suggested, "How about this? We have a battle. If I win, you give me the green gem, and if you win, I\'ll tell you where Togekiss is. I know your real strength wasn\'t shown during the gym battle. Let\'s have a real fight."

Yuga readily agreed to Milolovide\'s proposal. Regardless of winning or losing, it was a win-win situation for him. The green gem was already gone, and he didn\'t believe he would lose.

The two of them returned to the gym. Since it wasn\'t a formal gym battle, they planned to use only one Pokémon to determine the outcome.

However, Milolovide\'s chosen Pokémon was a Altaria instead of the previous Scizor.

...

Altaria

Type: Dragon, Flying

Ability: Natural Cure

Gender: Male

Potential: Blue

Level: 74

Moves: Dragon Breath, Sky Attack, Peck, Sing, Safeguard, Disarming Voice, Dragon Dance, Cotton Guard, Recover, Dragon Pulse, Moonblast, Hyper Voice, Feather Dance, Roost, Dazzling Gleam, Draco Meteor, Roost.

But that wasn\'t all. He then took out a Mega Evolution Stone, and Altaria underwent a Mega Evolution. After the Mega Evolution, its level increased, and its ability changed from Natural Cure to Pixilate.

On Yuga\'s side, he sent out a Charizard.

Looking at Yuga\'s Charizard, Milolovide smiled and said, "Gym Leader Shimizu, you should know what happened to my Altaria. I\'ll give it my all, and I hope you do too!"

Yuga replied with a smile, "Of course."

He then took out the Mega Evolution bracelet given to him by Lysandre and equipped it on Charizard, completing the Mega Evolution.

Yuga had just been contacted by Lysandre, expressing dissatisfaction with the progress of collecting Mega Evolution energy. He decided it was time for the Mega Evolution wristband to work properly this time.

Seeing the Mega Charizard Y take flight and confront the Mega Altaria, Milolovid raised a thumbs-up to Yuga, saying, "I didn\'t expect this, I\'m impressed!"

Yuga simply smiled and didn\'t respond.

With both sides ready, the battle began immediately.

Mega Charizard Y activated its ability, Drought, intending to finish the battle quickly. Compared to the Mega Altaria, which excelled in defense and recovery, the Mega Charizard Y focused on explosive attacks.

Mega Altaria\'s first move was its Fairy-type ability, Moonblast. Silver beams of light poured towards Mega Charizard like a tide.

Under the influence of the Drought ability, bright sunlight shone down, significantly raising the temperature on the battlefield.

Basking in this environment, Mega Charizard felt incredibly comfortable. It folded its wings and moved like a sharp arrow, swiftly evading the Moonblast from the Mega Altaria.

The heightened condition of the Mega Charizard Y made every action it took incredibly smooth.

Rising high in the sky once more, the Mega Charizard Y looked down at the Mega Altaria. It opened its mouth and exhaled a scorching flame, seemingly trying to turn the fluffy Mega Altaria into ashes.

The Mega Altaria reacted swiftly, letting out a loud, clear cry. Wherever the pink soundwaves traveled, the flames dissipated into nothing.

Thanks to the Pixilate ability, Mega Altaria\'s Normal-type moves not only had increased power but were converted into Fairy-type, making them more potent against Fire-type moves to a certain extent.

Despite the resistances and weaknesses, it was evident that Mega Altaria was highly skilled in utilizing Fairy-type moves. That was why Milolovide chose to use it even though he knew they\'d be resisted by Mega Charizard Y\'s Fire typing.

Attributes and resistances indeed played a significant role in a battle, but some individuals consciously chose to overlook them during a battle.

This was because the experience and skills gained through years of immersion in a particular attribute could often lead them to victory over a simple type advantage.

This is the difference between reality and the game!

After dispersing the Charizard\'s Flamethrower move, the Mega Altaria unleashed the Moonblast again. The silver moonlight was both beautiful and deadly.

Charizard flapped its wings, sending forth a scorching red-hot gust that scattered the silver moonlight in all directions, rushing towards Mega Altaria.

The Mega Altaria\'s abilities primarily focused on recovery and defense. It was no match for Charizard in terms of attacking power.

If Mega Altaria had been facing Mega Charizard X, which excelled in physical attacks, its chances of winning would have significantly improved.

Its Feather Dance could reduce the opponent\'s physical attack, and its Cotton Guard increased its physical defense.

Combining these with Mega Charizard X\'s Dragon-type nullifying the resistance to the Fairy type, Mega Altaria would have had an easier time against Mega Charizard X.

Unfortunately, it was Mega Charizard Y that it was up against, which excelled in special attacks!

The attack range of the Fire-type move was too broad, and there was nowhere to hide for Mega Altaria. It was immediately engulfed in the Heat Wave.

Boom!

Baked and blackened, Mega Altaria was knocked down, utilizing the Roost move on the ground to recover its health.

The physical and special defenses of Mega Altaria were both above average, so a single hit from Charizard wasn\'t enough to defeat it.

Seeing that Mega Altaria intended to seize the opportunity to recover, Charizard naturally wouldn\'t allow it. It immediately launched an attack, which couldn\'t be interrupted while Mega Altaria was Roosting.

However, it seemed that Mega Altaria had prepared for this. Before using Roost, it unleashed the powerful move, Draco Meteor.

Even before Charizard could attack, meteors rained down from the sky as if it aimed to smash Charizard to pieces.

Faced with the countless boulders falling, Charizard flapped its wings to avoid them. Although it avoided being hurt, it couldn\'t counterattack Mega Altaria.

Roost had excellent recovery capabilities, and after Draco Meteor ended, Mega Altaria had mostly healed its injuries. This left Charizard infuriated.

However, after the recovery, using Draco Meteor caused a significant drop in Mega Altaria\'s special attack. It\'s worth noting that all the Fairy-type moves it knew were special attack moves, so it quickly fell behind again.

This time, Charizard didn\'t give it a chance to recover. It unleashed a powerful move, Fire Blast, pinning Mega Altaria down and rubbing it vigorously against the ground.

The reason Fire Blast was significantly more powerful than Flamethrower was its immense impact. Coupled with Charizard\'s strong special attack, no matter how resilient Mega Altaria\'s special defense was, it couldn\'t withstand it.

As he watched Mega Altaria lose its mega evolution state, with most of its feathers burnt, Milolovide seemed somewhat disoriented.

I\'ve lost just like that? So quickly?

Retracting Charizard, Yuga said to Milolovide, who seemed stunned, "Now, can you tell me where that Togekiss is?"

Milolovide withdrew Togekiss and, with his eyes lowered, said, "It appeared in Kanto."

He hadn\'t lied; it did appear in Kanto.

But Yuga was almost amused, "Are you joking with me? Is that all you have to say about its whereabouts?"

Milolovide didn\'t raise an eyelid and replied, "That\'s all I know."

Hearing this, Yuga chuckled with annoyance, "Alright then, you\'re free to go!"

As Yuga was about to leave, Milolovide called out to him once more.

"Can\'t you really give me the Green Gem? It\'s useless to you, and selling it to me would benefit both of us. Why let it collect dust?"

Suddenly, Yuga felt that he should tell him the truth: i\'m not happy, and I don\'t want you to feel comfortable.

With this thought, Yuga, wearing a smiling face, said to Milolovide, "The Green Gem? Don\'t you know? It\'s already destroyed in the battle between that Togekiss and the Togekiss leader. Otherwise, how do you think the Togepi Paradise ended up in ruins?"

Milolovide\'s initial reaction was disbelief, but just as he was about to continue questioning, Yuga reassured him, "Don\'t believe me? You know that Togekiss, right? Go ask it. The Togepi Paradise has survived until now because of that Green Gem. Otherwise, do you think I would have destroyed it? Why would I bother?"

Upon hearing this, Milolovide began to realize that there was a high probability Yuga was telling the truth.

Togekiss didn\'t tell him that the Togepi Paradise existed because of the Green Gem. He had genuinely thought that Yuga was responsible for turning it into ruins when he took the Togepi clan.

Suddenly, he had a feeling like a heart attack. What had he spent so much effort for? All was in vain?

Seeing Milolovide\'s face turn ashen, Yuga\'s mood improved. After all, he didn\'t urgently need to find that Togekiss, but the Green Gem that Milolovide wanted would never be obtainable.

Back at the YoYo Day Care after leaving the Gym, Mr. Daichi who was made appointment with Yuga, was coming over for a discussion about the construction of the new Ecopark.
