章節 109: Day Care Exchange Conference
In the blink of an eye, the month was nearing its end. As time passed, the discussions surrounding the Trapinch and Gligar had gradually died down.
Now, the comments section of the Day Care website had also quieted down. Everyone was secretly waiting for the Day Care to release new slots for Pokémon purchases next month.
However, Yuga wasn't concerned about that. He was more focused on whether his Pokémon could sell and, during this period, he spent most of his time with the Pokémon babies, especially the Eevees and Budew.
As a result, the bond between the Pokémon in the main Ecopark and Yuga was growing stronger.
It's worth mentioning that during this time, some of the eggs from the Trapinch and Gligar in the Sib-Ecopark had hatched, and some of the Trapinch had laid new eggs. This brought immense joy to Yuga.
"Next month, the Triennial Day Care Exchange Conference will be held in Goldenroad City, Johto region.
The Day Care Exchange Conference is a grand event jointly organized by various regional Pokémon Breeder Associations to promote communication and learning among Day Cares. This time, the conference will be co-hosted by the Day Care United Council.
During the conference, Day Care owners from various regions will gather, along with numerous breeders, all aiming to enter different Day Cares to seek development."
As Yuga was amusing himself with Budew, he suddenly heard a news broadcast on the television. A thought struck him.
He had never seen how other Day Cares operated. Why not take this opportunity to learn and gain some insights?
Yuga was well aware of this Day Care Exchange Conference. When his biological parents were still alive, they used to attend every time. There were no prerequisites to attend this conference; as long as your name was listed in the League records, you could participate.
This was one of the biggest events officially organized by the Pokémon Breeder Associations. It took place every three years and Yuga remembered that the previous one had been held in Castelia City at Unova Region.
In the previous years, Yuga's biological parents attended, but the original Yuga, being something of a homebody, never went out much and had a quiet personality. Thus, he had rarely left the Verdanturf Town.
The event was jointly organized by two parties. The main organizer was the Pokémon Breeder Association, a subsidiary of the League, primarily responsible for managing breeders. They were the official organization for all certified and graded professional breeders in the Pokémon world.
For all Day Cares, breeders were a top priority. Without this group, the Day Care industry couldn't have thrived. That's why the annual Day Care Exchange Conference was organized by this association.
Day Cares like YoYo Day Care, where legitimate breeders couldn't be found, were exceptions. This was because YoYo Day Care had not previously bred Pokémon and only sold eggs, which was not unusual.
As for the Day Care United Council, it was essentially a grassroots organization.
The League established the Day Care industry initially, and it developed with the League's support. Consequently, the League had abundant financial resources and powerful established Day Cares. These Day Cares were like what Yuga's previous self referred to as "state-owned enterprises."
In order to compete with the official Day Cares and withstand their influence, many large private Day Cares united. Eventually, they developed into the current Day Care United Council.
This organization was one of the largest in the Pokémon world, with branches in various regions. The headquarters was in Hezhong, and Day Cares like Yuga's, small and unestablished, were not qualified to become members.
Yuga brought his computer and found the registration website for the Day Care Exchange Conference. He registered his Day Care.
Registration was necessary for this event. If you showed up unexpectedly and the organizers couldn't find your Day Care on the list, they wouldn't accommodate you.
After registering, Yuga turned to Suzuki Koen and said, "Sister Koen, I plan to participate in the Day Care Exchange Conference mentioned on TV just now. During my absence, I'll leave the shop to you and Windy."
Suzuki Koen listened and replied, "Sure, but didn't they say on TV that the conference will be held a month from now?"
Yuga: "That's correct. However, the event will take place in Johto, so I'll have to leave a few days in advance. That's why I'm letting you know now."
After briefing Suzuki Koen, Yuga went to the second floor to inform Windy about his plan.
"During this time, when I'm away, make sure to prepare meals for yourself three times a day. You should take care of the website, handle online reservations, and if there are any visitors to the shop, just follow Sister Koen's instructions. Understand?"
After hearing Yuga's instructions, Windy nodded.
Windy was a classic homebody; as long as he had a computer, he could spend three days and nights in his room without any issues. Since completing this month's sales task, he hardly left his room, except for meals and restroom breaks. If Yuga didn't occasionally force him to go outside, he'd probably become a total recluse.
"Also, make sure to go out for a walk every day. Linoone will supervise you directly. If you can't do it, it will use its claws to scratch you."
Windy nodded, confused.
Yuga sometimes felt like he hadn't hired an employee, but rather adopted a son. After all, he was only sixteen years old himself.
Thank goodness he had a mature mindset; otherwise, he might have fallen apart. Luckily, Sister Koen was very reliable.
During the remaining time, Yuga made preparations for his trip to Johto.
Firstly, he needed to stock up on food for the Pokémon babies in the Ecopark. Their PokéBlocks were something Yuga bought from outside, so he needed to have enough for this trip.
Yuga also instructed Windy that if the supplies in the Ecopark ran out, Audino could go buy them. After all, Audino had money, and Yuga even prepared notes for it to use if it needed to buy something while he was away.
After all, Audino couldn't speak, so notes were its only means of communication.
Audino had become quite a "celebrity" in Verdanturf Town. Everyone knew it now. Whenever Audino went to the market to buy things, people would subconsciously give it a little extra. Especially the elderly ladies in the market, whenever Audino bought something from them, they would end up giving it a little more.
With everything settled at home, Yuga began to decide on the members for this trip.
Firstly, Florges, Absol, Chimecho, and Vivillon, Yuga's main Pokémon, were definitely coming along.
After this period of training, the strength of Yuga's four main Pokémon had improved to varying degrees. Except for Chimecho, who was still at Level 29, the other three Pokémon had surpassed Level 30. Absol, with the highest level, had already reached Level 37, not far from Level 40.
Furthermore, except for Chimecho, the aptitudes of the other three Pokémon were all above "Green."
Next was Budew. In order to complete the task as quickly as possible, Yuga decided to bring it along.
Lastly, there was the Great Flygon.
In any case, he needed to bring a Pokémon that could command the scene.
Audino would be left in charge at home, so Yuga had no choice but to choose the Great Flygon. Moreover, as a Pokémon that can fly, it could also serve as a mount when they had nothing to do.
