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

Chapter 960: New Sub-Ecopark



Chapter 960: New Sub-Ecopark

In order to revive more fossil Pokémon, Yuga spent money to order a significant amount of revival fluid from Devon Corporation. Over the past few months, he had gradually revived numerous fossil Pokémon.

After calming them down, Yuga placed these fossil Pokémon in the Ecopark.

Time passed by in the blink of an eye, and as the footsteps of spring arrived, Verdanturf Town had already become lush and full of life, completely unaware that the winter had passed.

Once this spring came, it marked four full years since Yuga had arrived in the Pokémon world, and he had just turned twenty.

On this day, Yuga was in his store, as usual, welcoming the constant stream of customers. The YoYo Day Care business was thriving.

Meanwhile, something interesting was happening in the Ecopark.

In the past few months, Yuga had used the Fossil Revival Device to gradually resurrect many fossil Pokémon.

To revive these Pokémon, Yuga had spent a considerable amount of money ordering revival fluid from Devon Corporation. Finally, he managed to resurrect all the fossils Steven had given him and those he had obtained in Oldale Town.

Among them was an Aerodactyl.

This Aerodactyl had the highest potential among all the resurrected fossil Pokémon, and it was the only one with a blue potential rating.

This Aerodactyl must have been of a high level before it turned into Old Amber, so even though its level had decreased significantly after being revived, its strength was still quite impressive.

When it was first revived, the Aerodactyl caused quite a commotion. In order to tame it, Yuga almost destroyed the room where the Fossil Revival Device was placed.

Due to its previous strength, this resurrected Aerodactyl had a somewhat arrogant personality. Even after Yuga managed to tame it, it still enjoyed causing trouble in the Ecopark.

Most flying-type Pokémon were placed in the Grassland Sub-Ecopark, and the Aerodactyl was no exception.

In the Grassland Sub-Ecopark, everyone knew the newly arrived Aerodactyl had a proud personality and liked to pick on the children, so they usually kept their distance.

However, this did not include the Dragon-type Pokémon, who were known for their proud personalities. Today, Yuga's Noivern had a confrontation with the Aerodactyl.

The Aerodactyl and the Noivern had very similar body sizes and builds, so when the Aerodactyl saw the Noivern, it immediately became annoyed and started provoking it.

Noivern wasn't one to back down; it was also a prominent figure in the Grassland Sub-Ecopark, so when provoked, it naturally sought to retaliate. As a result, the two Pokémon engaged in a battle with a few words exchanged.

However, Noivern was still quite young and simply no match for the battle-hardened fossil Aerodactyl from ancient times. It didn't take long for Noivern to admit defeat.

As the saying goes, the loser must bow, and while Noivern was proud, it was a good sport. Instead of getting angry after its defeat, it found Aerodactyl to be quite gallant and, as a result, developed a liking for it.

But this entire brawl was witnessed by another Pokémon, the passing Salamence, who was not happy at all.

(`⌒メ) I can't even bring myself to scold my own child, and this brat has the audacity to go so far!

Salamence was naturally a hot-tempered Pokémon, and it couldn't stand seeing its child getting a beating.

Salamence had evolved from Shelgon some time ago, although it had evolved to its final stage later than Noivern. However, Noivern, Zweilous, and Salamence had grown up together and had received lessons from Dragonite's mother and Druddigon. Their bond was far from ordinary.

Seeing Noivern take a beating, Salamence roared and charged towards Aerodactyl, raising its claws to strike at Aerodactyl's face.

Witnessing the ferocious charge of Salamence, Noivern was momentarily stunned.

((((;°Д°)))) Sis... stop!

Salamence's fierce aura instantly attracted Aerodactyl's attention.

Oh, you think you're more arrogant than me?

Aerodactyl swung its long tail, using its Iron Tail move to counter Salamence's Dragon Claw.

With a stronger opponent in sight, Aerodactyl immediately cast Noivern aside and engaged in a fight with Salamence.

While Salamence had evolved later than Noivern, it was still Pseudo-Legendary Pokemon. it was more powerful than Noivern. The battle between Salamence and Aerodactyl was intense, with neither giving in.

Noivern, seeing its sister in a fight and with the one it had a crush on, felt very anxious. However, the two on the opposite side were getting more and more into it, and it even seemed like they were becoming heated. Noivern, being a novice, couldn't intervene.

Suddenly, Noivern had an idea: Yes, I can go find my big brother Zweilous! Zweilous big brother will surely be able to stop Salamence sister!

So Noivern turned to find Zweilous, but it had forgotten that Zweilous was also quite temperamental, as evident by its name.

Upon hearing Noivern's report that its big baby was in a fight with another Pokémon, Zweilous was frantic. It dashed towards Salamence's location on all fours, not letting Noivern finish its sentence.

(Д)ノ Noivern extended its clawed hand: Wait, I haven't finished talking...

Zweilous and Salamence had secretly been in love since their Shelgon days, even after Shelgon evolved into Salamence. Although these two hotheaded Pokémon often fighting over Salamanece, Zweilous will not going to tolerate anyone bullying their big baby.

Zweilous rushed to the scene, where Aerodactyl and Salamence were in a fierce fight that showed no signs of ending. It had become a crowd-pleaser, but no one dared to intervene in the battle.

Various Pokémon in the vicinity: This is a joke; neither of these two is to be messed with, offending either of them will lead to trouble.

Honchkrow leader and Swellow Leader received word about the situation but decided to stay out of it, as they had gained some experience overseeing the Grassland Sub-Ecopark over the years.

A fight had to happen to establish the situation; not fighting would leave everyone in the dark, and if anyone got injured, they could just go get healed by the Chanseys.

So the couple didn't interfere.

Zweilous was very anxious watching the fight in the air between Salamence and Aerodactyl. But it couldn't fly! It couldn't reach the two in the sky.

Bang!

Salamence took an accidental hit from Aerodactyl's Rock Slide, falling from the sky and creating a massive crater on the ground.

Seeing this, Zweilous's eyes turned red (does Zweilous even have eyes?): Why can't I fly!

In its anxiety, Zweilous began to evolve.

At that moment, other Pokémon suddenly noticed a white light emitting from Zweilous, and its body started to change.

Could it be... an evolution?

Most of the Pokémon had gone through evolution in one way or another, and even if they hadn't eaten pork, they'd seen the pig run, so the onlookers immediately recognized the signs of Zweilous's evolution.

Salamence, lying in the crater, had only become aware of Zweilous's presence when other Pokémon began to exclaim. It had been so absorbed in the fight that it hadn't paid attention to its surroundings.

"Roar!"

Zweilous completed its evolution quickly, becoming Hydreigon. Its appearance became even more menacing.

Hydreigon, still getting used to its new body, wobbled up into the sky. It flew to the other side of Aerodactyl, opened its mouth, and released a Dragon Pulse, knocking Aerodactyl to the ground.

After evolving into Hydreigon, Zweilous became even stronger than Salamence.

Aerodactyl, lying beside Salamence, looked quite puzzled: Who was that? Did I offend it? Did I mess with a dragon's nest today?

Salamence saw Zweilous's evolution and was overjoyed. It quickly flew up to Hydreigon and warmly embraced it.

Salamence: We look even more perfect now.

Hydreigon: Yeah, do you like it?

Salamence: I love it. You look so cool.

Hydreigon (internally): (ε) Blushing a bit from the praise.

Salamence (internally): He looks fierce, but he's kinda cute.

...

Onlookers: We've just watched nothing...

Aerodactyl, lying on the ground, and Noivern, who had rushed over: Phew, that was satisfying!

In the shop,

Yuga had just seen a customer out when he suddenly heard a message from the system in his mind.

[ Congratulations, host, on completing the Dragon Den Sub-Ecopark activation task. ]

Upon hearing this, Yuga was momentarily stunned. Completed? Does that mean Zweilous has evolved after all this time?

Finally, after such a long time, the task for the Dragon Den Sub-Ecopark was completed. Yuga's mood lifted significantly. He turned to Suzuki Koen, shouting loudly, "Sister Koen, keep an eye on the shop for a while. I need to leave for something important."

Suzuki Koen, who was busy at the checkout, barely looked up and responded, "Got it, go ahead."

However, Suzuki Koen then considered, "Maybe I should suggest to the boss that we hire another salesperson? The shop is getting busier."

When Yuga arrived at the Grassland Sub-Ecopark, he saw Aerodactyl lying on the ground in a sorry state, while Salamence and Hydreigon were showing affection for each other in the sky. Nearby Pokémon were buzzing with discussions.

Curious Pokemon A, who came to see what's happening: I just arrived. What happened?

Informed Pokemon B, who had seen the action: Salamence got into a fight, which triggered Zweilous's evolution!

Clueless Pokemon C: Is it that intense?

Sarcastic Pokemon D: Not only intense, but also quite full.

Bewildered Pokemon E: Why?

Insightful Pokemon F: It's the result of a dog food battle.

As the Pokémon G, H, I, and others turned to leave, they had excuses ready: "I need to go, my spouse is waiting at home."

The single Pokémon without partners: ...

Yuga, the single guy: ...

But then, a Chansey named Roundy, who had been summoned by the Honchkrow leader and leader of the Swellow, added: We don't have partners either. Should we ask the boss to find us one?

After Roundy healed Aerodactyl, Yuga gave a stern talking to the Aerodactyl to behave more responsibly.

Aerodactyl protested: Why am I being scolded when I'm the one who got beaten up worse?

However, Aerodactyl knew very well that it was no match for Yuga, so it took the scolding quite humbly.

After disciplining Aerodactyl, Yuga eagerly headed to the main Ecopark to activate the new Sub-Ecopark, the Dragon's Den.

According to the system's description, this Sub-Ecopark, just like the previous Insect Paradise, was a special Sub-Ecopark, but Yuga had no idea what was special about the Dragon's Den.

Yuga was already an expert in the steps to activate Sub-Ecoparks. When a new light gate appeared in the main Ecopark, he confidently walked through.

Upon passing through the light gate, Yuga found himself on the edge of a lake. This lake was quite special; the water was the same color as the grass, and it wasn't transparent.

After the system introduced it to him, Yuga learned that the Dragon's Den's uniqueness lay in this lake, much like the Insect Paradise's insect nest. This lake was called Dragon Lake.

Dragon Lake wasn't large in size, not as big as the central lake on the three islands' in the Shallow Seashore, but its water was a vivid green, like an unblemished gem set in the Dragon's Den Sub-Ecopark.

This Dragon Lake had the remarkable power to shorten the growth period of Dragon-type Pokémon and increase the reproduction rate. This was like a blessing for Dragon-type Pokémon with typically low reproduction rates.

On one side of Dragon Lake was a lush forest. Like other Sub-Ecoparks, this forest was full of berry trees laden with all sorts of ripe berrys.

On the opposite side of Dragon Lake lay a grassy expanse, extending towards a sheer cliff.

Seeing the cliff, Yuga was reminded of the cliff where Virizion used to live in the Cave at underground world of Unova region. The two cliffs were strikingly similar.

However, the cliff where Virizion lived in the Cave at underground world of Unova region had only the Silver Cave, inhabited by Virizion. In contrast, the cliffs in the Dragon's Den Sub-Ecopark were filled with numerous caves, both large and small.

These caves would serve as the new homes for the Dragon-type Pokémon living in this area. Those Pokémon that can fly coudl reside in the higher caves, while the non-flying ones would settle in the lower caves.

These caves were responsible for the name of the Dragon's Den Sub-Ecopark and could also be referred to as the Dragon's Dens.

With a general understanding of the Dragon's Den Sub-Ecopark, Yuga went to notify the various Dragon-type Pokémon in the Ecopark to start their relocation.

The Dragon-type Pokémon living in the Flower Sea Sub-Ecopark, including Dragonite's mother, Duddrigon, and those in the Grassland Sub-Ecopark like the Altaria clan, Noivern, Salamence, and Hydreigon, as well as the Horsea clan living in the Shallow Sea Sub-Ecopark, would all be moving to the Dragon's Den Sub-Ecopark.

Upon hearing the news that the Flygon clan from the Desert Sub-Ecopark was relocating, the Gliscor leader of the Gligar clan, initially felt excitement and shared the news as if the Gligar clan had finally won a victory against the Flygon clan. However, after the initial excitement, the Gliscor found it rather dull.

The Gligar clan and the Flygon clan had been neighbors for a thousand years, and their ancestors were even comrades in arms. They had grudges, unexplained bonds, and a complex history between them. Now that the two clans suddenly were parting ways, the Gliscor couldn't help but feel a deep sense of nostalgia.

As for Noivern, who was moving with Salamence and Hydreigon, to the Dragon's Den Sub-Ecopark, it was reluctant to leave Aerodactyl behind. So, Noivern invited Aerodactyl to join them. Surprisingly, Aerodactyl agreed without hesitation.

Despite the name and dragon-like appearance, Aerodactyl had no Dragon-type attributes or classification. Strictly speaking, it had nothing to do with actual Dragons.

However, Aerodactyl was fascinated by the caves on the cliffs of the Dragon's Den Sub-Ecopark. Before turning into Old Amber, it had lived on a similar cliff.

In the end, living was living, and it wanted to choose a place it liked. Compared to the bare Grassland Sub-Ecopark, the Dragon's Den Sub-Ecopark suited its preference better.
