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

Chapter 991: Buyer

The current Champion of the Unova League, Mr. Alder, is an experienced Champion who has held this position for decades. However, he had been contemplating retirement for quite some time.

Over a decade ago, the Unova League faced an unprecedented crisis. It was a Pokémon catastrophe that hadn\'t occurred in over a century. The one who played a crucial role in resolving this disaster was none other than the then-Champion, Mr. Alder.

This Pokémon catastrophe was caused by a Master level Volcarona, who led a horde of wild Pokémon in a fierce attack on human cities.

The root cause of this catastrophe was the Chairman of the Unova League at the time, who, in a bid to obtain a starter Pokémon for his grandson, had secretly captured the child of Volcarona.

For a Master level Pokémon, having offspring was already an exceedingly rare event, and the fact that its precious child was stolen, make it furious.

The dignity of a Master level Pokémon is not something to be taken lightly. it would be fine If the League Chairman had sought proper permission from Volcarona or even failed in his efforts, it might have been a different story. However, he chose to resort to theft.

The Master level Volcarona was far too powerful. Several major cities in the Unova League were subjected to widespread devastation by wild Pokémon. The loss of human lives and property was immeasurable. It was Mr. Alder, single-handedly, who stood up to blocked Volcarona.

If Mr. Alder had not intervened just in time, that city might have been entirely razed to the ground, with hundreds of thousands of lives lost.

However, because of this heroic act, two of Mr. Alder\'s seven Champion level Pokémon perished, and five more were gravely wounded. And among the two that perished, one was his Ace.

Due to the timely action of Mr. Alder, the Unova League\'s Master level Trainer, the Matriarch, was able to arrive on the scene and eventually resolve the Volcarona issue. This also marked the end of these horrific Pokémon disaster.

However, the matter did not end there, though.

Due to the loss of two main champions and severe injuries to five others, Mr. Alder was going through a period of intense grief. It was during this time that the League\'s regional Chairman took the opportunity to divert blame onto him, accusing Mr. Alder of causing the attack and loss of lives in the city.

At that time, the truth of the incident had not yet been revealed, and the League Chairman was sly and cunning. He had arranged for the stolen Pokémon egg to be delivered to Mr. Alder\'s son, falsely incriminating him.

Mr. Alder is the Champion of the League, and his son received exceptional protection. Consequently, his son had developed a somewhat naive and gullible personality, making him easy to be manipulated. He fell for the plot without much resistance.

This false accusation deeply tarnished Mr. Alder\'s reputation.

Even though he was a hero of the Unova League, he was unjustly imprisoned due to the scheming of malevolent individuals, causing Mr. Alder feel physically and mentally exhausted.

At that time, many people who were unaware of the truth began to accuse Mr. Alder. Under the guidance of the regional Chairman of the Unova League, they believed that Mr. Alder\'s willingness to confront the Master level Volcarona alone wasn\'t due to selflessness but rather guilt for wrongdoing.

Due to this incident, the Unova League went through a period of turmoil for quite some time, and Mr. Alder\'s son also eventually died in this turmoil.

The one who ultimately resolved this matter was the family Caitlin belongs to.

Caitlin\'s family is a mysterious and powerful clan, on par with the Temple family. Their lineage is ancient, and their members possess varying degrees of psychic abilities.

This family was brought in by the Matriarch to investigate the truth of the matter. Under their psychic powers, no lie can remain hidden, and the truth was soon revealed.

As a result, Mr. Alder was exonerated.

This incident caused significant turmoil throughout the entire Pokémon League. Not only did the regional Chairman of the Unova League face repercussions, but a large portion of other officials within the League also dissmised.

However, this was just the beginning.

The actions of the regional Chairman were so heinous that it stirred strong public discontent, leading to protests and demonstrations. The League couldn\'t hide this situation, and it ultimately led to a massive purge throughout the entire Pokémon League, all in an effort to be accountable to the public.

This cleansing almost replaced about half of the League\'s officials. Many power structures within the League were reorganized, and the one overseeing this purification was the current Chairman of the League headquarters, Charles Goodshow.

It can be said that with his own efforts, Mr. Alder changed the entire situation within the Pokémon League.

It\'s worth mentioning that Yuga can now witness a more politically transparent environment in the League, largely due to that masive purge.

After going through this event, Mr. Alder became disheartened and considered resigning from his position as the League Champion.

In the end, it was Chairman Charles Goodshow and the head of Caitlin\'s family who came forward simultaneously, persuading Mr. Alder and to reluctantly continue in his role as Champion.

Emotionally, Chairman Charles Goodshow was in agreement with Mr. Alder stepping down from the Champion\'s position, given to what he had gone through. However, it was impossible to justify it to the public.

After the truth of the matter was made into public, Mr. Alder had become a well-known hero to all. If he were to resign from the Champion\'s position at this critical moment, how would the public react?

They wouldn\'t see it as Mr. Alder voluntarily resigning; instead, they would think he was being pressured and treated unfairly once again, potentially leading to further turmoil.

Since then, although Mr. Alder still holds the position of Champion in the Unova League, he\'s not very involved in the day-to-day affairs. He spends his days accompanying Pokémon, strolling around, and nurturing his only remaining child. He only occasionally makes appearances during major events.

You could say that Mr. Alder is now the big shot, the elder statesman, and the top dog of the Unova League.

The child of that Volcarona, who caused all the trouble earlier, was also sent to Mr. Alder as compensation by the Unova League.

The potential of that Pokémon egg was exceptional, and it later hatched into a Larvesta. Under Mr. Alder\'s careful care, it has become his ace Pokémon.

Mr. Alder\'s grandson\'s first Pokémon is a descendant of this ace Pokémon and is also a Larvesta.

However, even though Mr. Alder has a new ace Pokémon now, the previous five injured Pokémon are still a major concern.

These five Pokémon suffered severe injuries at the time. Due to Mr. Alder being falsely accused and not receiving timely treatment, their injuries persisted for over a decade and have been worsening in the last couple of years.

Continuing this way, it\'s only a matter of time before they run out of strength.

Mr. Alder\'s bond with these five Pokémon is incredibly deep. He has spent all these years searching for ways to treat them, but he\'s only found methods that address the symptoms rather than the root issue.

The Unova League has also been actively assisting Mr. Alder in finding treatments for his Pokémon but hasn\'t had any success either.

Recently, the Max Revive produced by the Joy family gave the Unova League and Mr. Alder a glimmer of hope, which is why they reached out to the Joy family.

The Joy family\'s Max Revive, apart from some being sold, are also reserved for favors. In other words, they have struggled to meet the high demand for these limited supplies of Max Revive.

Providing Mr. Alder with five of them was a challenge for them due to the limited production capacity of these Max Revive, and they are still in the experimental phase.

Additionally, they require most of their Revival Herbs for growing new Revival Herbs. So, they can\'t mass-produce Max Revive in the short term.

Every time they sell Max Revive, only a few people manage to purchase them.

When Mr. Alder and the Unova League approached the Joy family, they had already sold out for the season. However, they still did their best to allocate two of the Max Revive to Mr. Alder.

However, for Mr. Alder, two Max Revive would not be sufficient, as he needs them for five Pokémon in need of treatment. So, who should be the fortunate ones to receive these two Max Revive?

In the end, the Joy family pointed Mr. Alder in the right direction: Go and find Yuga.

Yuga possesses a considerable amount of Revival Herbs, and he doesn\'t sell them externally, so he undoubtedly has enough Max Revive in his hands.

However, the Unova League and Mr. Alder don\'t have a close relationship with Yuga, so they tactfully contacted Cynthia through Caitlin, who, in turn, contacted Yuga.

One can\'t deny that it\'s quite a convoluted process.

Over the years, Caitlin\'s family has maintained a very good relationship with Mr. Alder, which is why she is willing to help. Besides, she personally wants to acquire some spare Max Revive – you can never have too many life-saving items.

After hearing from Cynthia about Caitlin\'s family\'s situation and Mr. Alder\'s predicament, Yuga agreed without much hesitation.

Mr. Alder is indeed an admirable individual, and if Yuga can help within his means, he is more than willing to assist, especially since it\'s not without compensation.

After a brief discussion with Caitlin, Yuga made the promise to provide Mr. Alder with three Max Revive and one for Caitlin.

He has Max Revive in stock, but he also doesn\'t want to give Caitlin too many at once, as she might try to lower thr price. If she wants it again in the future, she can continue to come to him!

This is the advantages of being a seller\'s market!

The price for these four Max Revive was eventually set at two thousand Psychic Gems. One Max Revive costs five hundred Psychic Gems, which is a fair price.

Five hundred Psychic Gems are enough for an Elite level Psychic-type Pokémon to practice for a year or two. However, at Yuga\'s place, it\'s not even enough to produce one batch of Moonlight Pokéblock.

Just thinking about it is enough to make him sad.

Two to three days later, utilizing various connections and spending a considerable sum of money, Yuga finally gathered enough materials to produce two batches of Moonlight Pokéblock.

Yuga decided not to entrust the production of these Moonlight Pokéblock, which Cosmoem would consumes, to Misaki and the others, but to make it by his own hands.

While Yuga\'s expertise in making Pokéblock might not match with that professionals like Misaki and the others, his skills are still commendable.

Before Misaki arrived at the Pokémon Day Care, Yuga was the one making Pokéblock at home. Even now, he occasionally lends a hand to Misaki and the others, and his skills haven\'t waned.

When producing Moonlight Pokéblock, handling auxiliary materials is relatively quiet simple because Yuga has experience using them from regular Pokéblock production.

The crucial part is working with attribute gems and evolution stones, both of which are exceptionally hard, especially the attribute gems.

Yuga\'s task involves breaking down these attribute gems and evolution stone into a powder without destroying the attribute energy contained within.

Dealing with Starmie\'s gems is comparatively easier, mainly because this material has a softer texture, particularly when it loses its vitality. It becomes more manageable, unlike attribute gems that are almost unbreakable.

Yuga employs a tools manufactured by Melo Tech, a company that specializes in biotechnology products. Without this tools, Yuga would have a tough time dealing with these hard materials.

Melo Tech developed this soundwave tools based on the ultrasonic abilities of Noivern, Crobat, and Golbat, using the principle of soundwave resonance.

Yuga only began to pay attention to this tech company after constructing his new Ecopark using their new materials. Their products have proven to be highly effective.

Melo Tech\'s headquarters are located in LaRousse City, which boasts the highest level of technology in the Hoenn Region. The city is home to numerous research institutions, and even Devon Corporation has several research facilities in LaRousse City.

The final material required for Moonlight Pokéblock is Sweet Honey.

Sweet Honey is used as a binding agent in the recipe for Moonlight Pokéblock because it contains a significant amount of dry solids. This not only makes the final product more visually appealing but also enhances the taste.

After a busy half-day, Yuga finally succeeded in making two batches of Moonlight Pokéblock. These two batches will last Cosmoem for a little over a month.

In other words, Yuga must continue to run around for Cosmoem\'s food. Raising a Legendary Pokémon is both a blessing and a challenge.

The finished Moonlight Pokéblock are remarkably beautiful, just like their name suggests. They have a deep purple color, reminiscent of the profound night sky adorned with stars.

Looking at the Pokéblock placed in their specially crafted jars, Yuga couldn\'t help but ask the system, "These Pokéblock are safe, right? I hope Cosmoem won\'t spontaneously explode after eating them!"

Considering the large amount of high-energy materials used to make these two small jars, it\'s evident that each Moonlight Pokéblock contains an immense amount of energy.

Upon hearing Yuga\'s concerns, the system felt somewhat insulted, [ Host, don\'t be absurd. Moonlight Pokéblock are custom-made by the system specifically for Cosmoem and Lunala. They are the perfect food for them and won\'t cause the issues you mentioned. ]

Upon hearing this, Yuga chuckled and said, "That\'s good, that\'s good. I was just joking, actually."

However, the system followed up with, [ But if ordinary Pokémon were to eat them, they would indeed explode. ]

Yuga: ...

It seems like he\'ll have to keep the Moonlight Pokéblock well-hidden. If they were mistakenly consumed by another Pokémon, the consequences could be disastrous.

After preparing the Moonlight Pokéblock, Yuga called Cosmoem to try them out. As expected, Cosmoem enjoyed them very much.

However, these Pokéblock are potent. Even for Cosmoem, one at a time is the limit; eating more could lead to indigestion.

The next day after completing the two batches of Pokéblock, Yuga received a call from Steven.

"Your batch of treasures has found a buyer."

"So quickly? Who is it?"

"It\'s none other than the renowned collector, Mr. Gillruta."
