章節 101: A New Beginning
After tidying up the room for Windy, Yuga returned to the ground floor and asked Suzuki Koen, "Sister Koen, how are the remaining Pokémon eggs selling?"
Suzuki Koen took out the store's ledger, flipped through it, and replied, "There are just a few left. They're pretty much sold out."
Yuga thought for a moment before speaking, "Since that's the case, we can now begin our new business model. Let me go get Windy, and we can discuss it together."
Suzuki Koen put away the ledger and nodded, saying, "Sure."
After Windy joined them, the three of them gathered in the dining area. Yuga briefly explained his business philosophy and model to Windy.
Windy hadn't expected that their small Pokémon Day Care would be able to cultivate rare Pokémon like Trapinch and Gligar as part of their signature offerings. Nor had they anticipated that their boss would have such an innovative business model.
Yuga thought for a moment and added, "We won't be selling Pokémon eggs in the shop anymore. The space where we had the Pokémon egg counter can be repurposed to sell Pokéblocks.
I have a formula that's particularly suited for Ground-type Pokémon. Whether it's Trapinch or Gligar, consuming these Pokéblocks will significantly boost their growth. We can produce these cubes and offer them for sale in the shop.
Customers who buy Trapinch and Gligar from us can also place orders for these Pokéblocks. This way, we not only make money but also provide convenience to our customers."
Yuga compared the effectiveness of the Ground-type Pokémon Universal Pokéblock the system provided to many other Pokéblocks on the market and found that it surpassed any high-quality Pokéblock he had ever come across.
Upon hearing Yuga's words, Windy said, "That's a great idea. Nowadays, most Pokémon Day Cares collaborate with Pokéblock companies. They sell Pokémon and Pokéblocks simultaneously. With just three customers per month coming to us, over time, even if our Pokéblock production isn't high, we can sustain a steady supply for them. As long as our Pokéblocks are of high quality, there's no doubt they'll buy."
Perhaps Windy had spoken too much at once, they seemed somewhat uncomfortable. Their cheeks had even turned a bit red, whether from nervousness or shyness was unclear.
Yuga said, "You're absolutely right. Let's start by posting the information about the three Pokémon for this month on our website."
Yuga instructed Linoone to bring a Gligar and two Trapinch from the Desert Sub-Ecopark to the main Ecopark. These three Pokémon had been pre-selected by Yuga, and their physical conditions and ages were suitable for sale.
Soon, Linoone brought over the three Pokémon.
The leaders of both groups were not against Yuga selling members of their tribes. It was in the nature of Pokémon to support anything that benefited them. Yuga had also promised them that he would carefully select Trainers for them, ensuring they would find suitable ones.
For these Pokémon, either leading a carefree life in the Ecopark or finding a lifelong partner in a trustworthy Trainer were both excellent choices.
Additionally, both groups had been domesticated by humans for generations, so they didn't reject having human Trainers.
Now, for the recently hatched Trapinch and Gligar, Yuga made sure that their older counterparts subtly conveyed the idea to them that they would have a human Trainer to accompany them on journeys and adventures.
This way, by instilling this notion right from their birth, it would naturally prepare them to accept their future human Trainers.
This strategy borrowed from the League's educational approach towards raising starter Pokémon. They employed a similar method, allowing young starter Pokémon to naturally accept their new Trainers who came to select them.
Yuga took photos of the three Pokémon and handed them to Windy to upload into the three empty boxes on the website. Then, he inputted the basic information about the three Pokémon.

These three Pokémon were meticulously chosen by Yuga. Each one excelled in terms of physical development and skill inheritance, all in order to make YoYo Day Care stand out.
Take this Gligar, for example. Not only did it possess the attacking move Poison Sting and the defensive move Harden, but it also inherited the strong Dark-type move Night Slash as an ace in the hole.
With the images and basic information of the three Pokémon entered into the website, Yuga instructed Linoone to return the three Pokémon to the Ecopark.
Although YoYo Day Care's website didn't have a high traffic of visitors, there were still some people who took a look.
After fully updating the website with the information and images of the Gligar, comments immediately started appearing in the comments section.
"What's happening? I haven't checked for a few days, and now YoYo Day Care's website has completely changed?"
"Is this for real? Are there really Gligar and Trapinch?"
"Was what I saw before just an illusion? Is this sophisticated version the real YoYo Day Care?"
"What's this installment business about? I'm not well-educated, I don't understand."
"Is the explanation for this installment business real? Boss, you're seriously a genius."
...
...
YoYo Day Care had originally been an ordinary small-scale Pokémon Day Care. The website's visitors were typically very few, and most of them were not there to buy Pokémon; they were either just browsing or joining in the fun. Therefore, this "grand re-opening" of YoYo Day Care's website, aside from a few comments from users, didn't cause a significant stir.
After skimming through the comments in the comment section, Yuga said, "Alright, we've done what we needed to. Now, we just need to wait for customers to get in touch with us. Let's tidy up the shop next."
So, the three of them began organizing the empty glass display counters in the shop.
Yuga intended to gift the special cushions that were originally used for displaying Pokémon eggs to the Gligar tribe and the Trapinch tribe. They could use them as nests for newly hatched Pokémon eggs.
The originally straight rows of counters were now arranged in the shape of the letter "回". In the middle, there was a table and a few chairs set up for customer reception.
They couldn't have customers just coming in and heading straight to the dining area; it wouldn't be very presentable.
However, due to the space-consuming arrangement, a few counters were removed by Yuga. After all, these were used to display sample Pokéblocks, so they didn't require too many counters.
