Chapter 32: Crafting The Remedies

Yuga training plan for his Pokémon at this stage was quite straightforward.

First, there was physical training, followed by skill training, and finally battle training.

Physical training became simpler with the addition of Chimecho Gravity ability. All the Pokémon would engage in running exercises under the influence of Chimecho Gravity. Wherever they ran, the gravitational field of Chimecho would move accordingly.

However, Chimecho role wasn't limited to just providing Gravity. Yuga followed a method similar to how he trained Floette before, tying a stone to Chimecho body to make it run along with the others.

Besides this, Chimecho also took care of the healing aspect after the other Pokémon training sessions. Pokémon could level up not just through battles but also through regular training. This was evident from Chimecho level 18, despite its initially weak battle prowess.

In terms of skill training, Yuga focused on enhancing the Fairy Wind and Magical Leaf skills of Floette. The goal was to make Floette Fairy Wind swift yet concentrated, and its Magical Leaf capable of being used in multiple leaves simultaneously.

For Absol, the training involved practicing the state of Swords Dance while continuously using the moves Slash and Psycho Cut. Absol current physical condition allowed only one use of Swords Dance, using it again would not boost its attack and might even harm itself.

Maintaining the state of Swords Dance was crucial for Absol to adapt to it gradually and prepare for a second use in the future. Yuga set up a simple target in the yard for Absol to practice its accuracy.

In addition to this, Absol would also work on using its Psychic-type move, Future Sight. This ability supposedly allowed the user to see into the future, although Yuga wasn't sure if this was true. Regardless, Absol ability to learn this move made it a rare Pokémon.

Yuga suspected that the people chasing Absol were interested in this unique skill. However, since Absol had never used it and showed no special qualities related to it, Yuga was unsure how to train this ability.

As for Chimecho, Yuga didn't devise any extra skill training plan for it. Its involvement in training was already significant, assisting others in physical exercises, alleviating exhaustion with Heal Pulse, and soothing their spirits with Aromatherapy. These skills were perfectly suited for its role.

As for Murkrow and the others, Yuga requirements for their skill training were relatively modest. He wanted them to continually use their existing skills, become familiar with them, and control them better.

The final aspect of training was battle training, where Pokémon would engage in pairs to evaluate the results of the previous training phases and accumulate battle experience.

Previously, Yuga only had Floette, so this type of training wasn't feasible. He often thought about taking Floette for outdoor training.

Now, with six Pokémon, home-based battle training was viable.

Yuga trained his Pokémon throughout the afternoon, ending only as evening approached. This intense training was possible due to Chimecho assistance; without it, the Pokémon might not have been able to endure the high-intensity training.

After dinner, Yuga looked at the genetically defective Pokémon eggs in the shop. He decided to expedite the production of Minor Genetic Restoration Elixir to address the issues with these eggs.

Yuga had already reviewed the formula for the elixir; the required ingredients were not too difficult to find and were generally available on the market.

The main ingredients included two categories: tree fruits such as Citrus, Kee, Oran, Pecha, and Lum berries; and medicinal herbs like White Herb, Big Root, Odd Incense, Luminous Moss, and Star Piece.

While the herbs were relatively more expensive than the berries, herbs like White Herb and Luminous Moss weren't typically available in regular stores. Yuga would need to visit specialized herbal shops for those.

Although a bit more effort was required, gathering the materials wasn't overly challenging.

As Yuga pondered, he began to grow restless. While it was dark outside, it wasn't too late yet. The herbal shops and berry stores should still be open.

So Yuga locked the shop door, instructed Floette and the others to guard the house, and stepped outside, just as he had planned.

As expected, the materials listed in the recipe were readily available in the shops. However, some quantities were limited. For instance, White Herb and Luminous Moss took Yuga a few visits to various stores before he could gather enough.

This being Yuga first attempt at creating elixirs, he wasn't certain about the outcome. Thus, he bought a bit more of each ingredient, just in case.

He also acquired a set of specialized equipment for crafting elixirs from a herbal shop, based on the steps mentioned in the recipe.

Back home, Yuga immediately closed the door and began the process.

Firstly, he worked on processing the ingredients. He washed the berries thoroughly and diced each type separately, ensuring they didn't mix.

The diced berries were ground into juice and strained using a special tool, purifying them until no impurities remained. The resulting juices were collected in separate test tubes.

Processing the medicinal herbs was different from the berries, as each required a distinct method. Big Root and Odd Incense needed to be proportionately mixed with water and boiled like traditional medicinal herbs. However, the process was more meticulous to account for water evaporation. Yuga had to be cautious as the sealed container could explode under heat.

White Herb and Star Piece needed to be ground into a fine powder, which was tiring but simpler compared to the other ingredients.

Luminous Moss was unique in that it melted completely when in contact with water. Thus, it was left untouched until the end, added to the mixture to naturally blend with other components.

The final step was elixir crafting, involving combining ingredients as per the recipe instructions and precise measurements. Any deviation could lead to failure.

Fortunately, Yuga process went smoothly. On his first attempt, he successfully produced a batch of Minor Genetic Restoration Elixir.

The elixir looked beautiful—its bottle held a clear and transparent emerald-green liquid, resembling the Fountain of Life. It radiated a strong vitality.

Yuga hadn't expected to succeed on his first try, suddenly feeling like a genius.

According to the system, mixing the elixir in water and soaking the eggs twice daily would eventually repair the genetic defects. Additionally, the elixir expedited egg hatching without side effects—almost like a miraculous tool.

Taking advantage of his spare time, Yuga continued to craft elixirs from the remaining materials. As he completed the process, the voice of 1314520 resounded in his mind once again.

[ Now initiating main quest: Elevate Shimizu Yuga reputation in the Pokémon world as a Day Care owner.

Main Quest 2: Hatch genetically defective Pokémon eggs and integrate them successfully into the Ecopark.

Reward: System-custom Universal Pokémon Food

Note: Although universal, this special food promotes Pokémon growth and is highly beneficial. ]

Yuga was pleasantly surprised by the system innovative ways of rewarding him.

"1314520, are you there?"

In truth, the system was often quite unobtrusive, rarely speaking unless Yuga initiated or tasks were assigned.

[ I'm here, Host. Do you have any instructions? ]

"No need, no need. I just wanted to express my gratitude for the rewards you keep giving me."

[ No need to thank, Host. The system exists solely to serve you. ]

"Haha, I see. Well, I won't disturb you then."

In reality, Yuga seldom exchanged more than a few words with the rather reserved voice of 1314520.

After completing the elixir crafting, Yuga didn't rush to use it on the eggs. Instead, he decided to wait until the next day for application. As the system stated, the elixir needed to be administered twice a day. Since it was already evening, using only half the dosage in a day wasn't optimal. To be safe, he opted to wait until the next day.
