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

Chapter 106: Business

After that, Yuga had Florges attempt to manipulate the Grass-type energy within the Grassy Terrain, but it was evident that she failed as well.

As Yuga had suspected, it was much more difficult for Florges, a non-Grass-type Pokémon, to control Grass-type energy compared to her attempts with Fairy-type energy. It seemed they would have to focus on working with the Misty Terrain for now.

Due to the evolution of Floette and the skill experiments, they spent quite a bit of time at the Ecopark that day. When Yuga returned to the shop, Audino had already prepared a hearty breakfast. Windy was sitting at the dining table, savoring the meal.

Walking over, Yuga pulled out a chair and sat down. He addressed Windy, who was eating breakfast, "So, how's it going? Enjoying the comfortable life with everything at your fingertips?"

Windy replied expressionlessly, "It's fine," but Yuga noticed the slight blush in his ears and couldn't help but chuckle.

Ever since Audino learned household chores, it seemed like everything in Yuga's home was being taken care of by her.

From tidying up the house to doing laundry and cooking, as well as helping with the Pokémon at the Ecopark, finding time to study alongside Yuga and make Pokéblocks, Audino's days were packed from start to finish, leaving no room for leisure.

Yuga even tried to advise her to take it easy, but not only did she not reduce her workload, she seemed to revel in it. She truly was a born workaholic.

It made Yuga feel like he didn't hire an employee, but rather lucked into an all-purpose butler.

Compared to her, Swellow was far more lackadaisical, spending his days bothering Murkrow, not doing anything productive.

However, Yuga didn't bother about it. Let it do whatever it pleased.

After breakfast, Windy diligently went back to checking his website.

These two days, apart from the initial appointment with a Mr. Taro, there hadn't been a second one.

Many people left comments and messages on the website, but most were skeptical of the information published by YoYo Day Care.

How could an ordinary Day Care like this possibly have exceptional Pokémon like Gligar and Trapinch?

Everyone watched with skepticism, and no one was willing to be the first to try it out.

Amidst this wait-and-see attitude, on the afternoon of the third day, YoYo Day Care welcomed its first customer after the revamp.

When Mr. Taro hesitated to enter, he found the decorations and furnishings inside very pleasant.

This was a Day Care with a different exterior and interior—Mr. Taro's first impression.

Suzuki, the female salesperson behind the counter, saw Mr. Taro enter and stood up, asking, "Hello, can I help you with something?"

Mr. Taro was a bit awkward, looking at the pretty female salesperson before him. He stammered, "I had a reservation to come here to buy Pokémon. Is this the place? I didn't get it wrong, did I?"

Suzuki suddenly realized and asked, "Are you Mr. Taro?"

Mr. Taro quickly nodded and said, "Yes, that's me."

Suzuki smiled and said, "Then you're in the right place. Please follow me."

Saying so, Suzuki led Mr. Taro to the central table in the store reserved for customers and said, "Please have a seat. Wait a moment, I'll go get our boss."

At this moment, Yuga was upstairs discussing the post-revamp promotion strategy with Windy.

After being called downstairs by Suzuki, Yuga instructed Linoone to make a quick visit to the Ecopark and then proceeded to Mr. Taro's location.

Taking a sip of the tea that Audino had just brought over, Mr. Taro felt a bit stunned. This Day Care was truly strange, even employing a rare Pokémon like Audino as a waiter.

However, he didn't doubt the authenticity of YoYo Day Care having Trapinch. Apart from the fact that this Day Care was recognized by the League and legitimate, the Great Flygon perched on the roof was enough to dispel any doubts.

"Hello, are you Mr. Taro?"

At this moment, a young voice sounded, and Mr. Taro looked up to see a young boy standing before him.

Mr. Taro hesitated and asked, "And you are?"

The person across from him smiled apologetically and introduced himself, "I'm Shimizu Yuga, the owner of this Day Care."

Mr. Taro hadn't expected that the owner of the Day Care capable of nurturing Trapinch and Gligar would be a young boy.

He quickly stood up from his seat and extended his hand, saying, "Hello, hello."

Yuga shook his hand and motioned for him to sit down before speaking, "You had a reservation to purchase our Trapinch. However, our Day Care has some special rules when it comes to selling Pokémon. I hope you're aware."

"This is a questionnaire. Take a look at it first. If you find no issues, you can fill it out. Based on this questionnaire, we will decide whether or not to sell the Pokémon to you."

With that, Yuga pushed a paper document and a pen in front of Mr. Taro.

Mr. Taro glanced briefly at the questionnaire and found questions like "What's your name?" "How old are you?" "Where do you live?" "Who are the members of your family and their names?" "Home address." "When did you become a Trainer?"...

Though the questionnaire contained many questions, they were all trivial matters. Mr. Taro patiently continued to fill it out.

Taking the completed questionnaire from Mr. Taro, Yuga carefully read through it from start to finish, gaining a rough understanding of Mr. Taro's basic background.

After reading it, Yuga said, "Rest assured, the information you've provided in this questionnaire will be treated as confidential by our Day Care. It won't be leaked to the outside. And congratulations, you've gained the right to purchase the Trapinch."

In fact, the questionnaire not only inquired about the customer's identity and background but also delved into various psychological aspects.

When customers answered these questions, they inadvertently revealed their true nature. While this wasn't particularly accurate, there was some scientific basis to it.

These questions were the result of hard work from Yuga and Windy, with Windy being the main contributor and Yuga assisting.

"Really?"

Mr. Taro stood up from his chair in excitement.

Yuga replied, "Of course."

At this moment, Linoone, who had been sent to the Ecopark, returned along with the Trapinch.

Yuga pointed at the Trapinch and said, "This is the Trapinch you reserved. You can check if it's the one you selected."

Excitedly, Mr. Taro rushed over, scrutinizing the Trapinch from different angles. Then he picked it up, satisfied, and said, "This is the one. I trust that the boss wouldn't deceive me."

Of course, the main reason Mr. Taro said this was that he couldn't discern any difference between this Trapinch and others.

Yuga smiled and said, "Certainly. You can visit the Pokémon Center to examine its aptitude and test the skills it knows. If you have any issues, feel free to come back to us."

The Pokémon Center was where registered Trainers could have their Pokémon's aptitude tested for free by the League. However, once a Trainer registered their Pokémon's aptitude at the Pokémon Center, that Pokémon would automatically be bound to the Trainer's identity and couldn't be traded, exchanged, or given away.
