Chapter 127: Disturbance
Chapter 127: Disturbance
"What's going on? Why is everyone crowded here?" Yuga asked Rand to go home and then pushed through the crowd to reach the entrance.
"Who are you? Why are you pushing?"
"We came to buy Pokémon, but it seems this store is putting on airs!"
"Exactly, do they have a mental issue, refusing business?"
...
As Yuga's voice fell, the crowd began to chatter and shout in unison.
After listening to their noisy complaints for a while, Yuga finally understood why they were causing a ruckus here.
It turned out that these were Trainers who wanted to buy Trapinch and Gligar from the YoYo Day Care. However, the Day Care only had three slots available each month, and this month along with the next, that made for a total of six slots. As a result, those who couldn't obtain Pokémon from the center were causing a commotion.
At this moment, Suzuki Koen walked out from the store. When he saw Yuga, his expression brightened. "Boss, you've finally returned. If you hadn't, I wouldn't have been able to hold out any longer."
"What's going on?"
"They've been crowding the entrance for days. No matter how I try, I can't disperse them. They've been causing a ruckus here every day," Suzuki Koen pointed to the angry people at the entrance and said indignantly. "They've been causing so much trouble these past few days that I didn't even dare bring Dian into the store."
Observing the chaotic crowd still outside, Yuga raised his voice. "Can you all please quiet down? Don't you realize this is disturbing the peace?"
"Who are you? We'll make noise if we want to!"
"That's right!"
"How are we disturbing the peace? We're on a public street, are we not allowed to speak?"
...
The moment Yuga spoke, the crowd responded with a barrage of protests.
Just then, a person walked out from the crowd, pointing at Yuga and shouting, "This person is the owner of this Day Care!"
Upon seeing this person, Yuga realized he knew them. It was Touya, the one who abandoned his Vivillon.
Touya seemed to be quite the troublemaker. He had caused a scene at the store before, and Yuga had even spotted him at the Grand Festival. He was the one who abandoned his Pokémon, and now he was here causing a disturbance. It seemed like Yuga kept encountering him everywhere.
"So, you're the owner of this Day Care?"
"What gives you the right to not sell Pokémon to us?"
"That's right, why won't you sell Pokémon to us?"
"Have you gone crazy? We're here to give you money, and you're shutting us out!"
...
When Touya exposed Yuga's identity, the crowd grew even more agitated. Yuga rubbed his throbbing head, caused by their continuous noise, and helplessly said, "Our store has its rules. If you want to buy Pokémon, you must follow our regulations."
Coming back to encounter such an annoying situation, Yuga felt like he must have offended some malicious entity. Otherwise, why was he always at the center of such issues?
"What rules? Who cares about your rules? Don't you know that the customer is god? Offend us, and your store won't survive!"
One of the troublemakers stepped forward and shouted loudly upon hearing Yuga's words.
Yuga calmly glanced at the person, then asked, "Are you the League Chairman, or is your father the League Chairman?"
The person Yuga had addressed felt taken aback by the question and stammered, "Don't talk nonsense. What League Chairman?"
Yuga continued, "Do you have any influential relatives in the League?"
The person answered with a mix of anger and frustration, "Even if I did, why would I be standing here if I did?"
Hearing their response, Yuga's tone unconsciously rose as he asked, "So, you're just an ordinary person without power or influence?"
The person's confidence seemed to waver as he stuttered, "Yes... So what?"
Right after he finished speaking, Yuga delivered a solid kick to the person.
"Who the hell do you think you are? What are you pretending for here? Customer is god? Are you my customer? Truly putting on airs, you ignorant fool. I'm going to show you today, offending you won't stop this store from thriving!"
Yuga was usually easy-going, not quick to anger, but that didn't mean he couldn't get angry.
Having traveled for several days and returning to find these people chattering away was already quite irritating. Hearing that they had been causing trouble here for days from Suzuki Koen made him even more furious. And now, this person dared to use harsh words in front of Yuga. It was utterly intolerable!
Even Suzuki Koen, who was used to her boss's demeanor, was taken aback by his behavior. She had always thought her boss was easy-going, but it seemed she had misjudged him. Misjudged him indeed!
This person clearly hadn't expected Yuga to suddenly take action. When he received Yuga's kick, he was sent flying into the crowd, knocking down several people in the process.
Others also didn't anticipate that Yuga would resort to such a direct move. The crowd fell eerily silent, with only the few people lying on the ground moaning in pain.
"You dare to kick me? I'll make you regret it!" The person who Yuga kicked down got up, angrily shouting at Yuga, then releasing a Pokémon.
"Houndoom, tear him apart!"
Upon being released, the Houndoom hesitated momentarily upon hearing its trainer's command to attack a human. But ultimately, it obeyed its trainer's orders.
With its Crunch attack activated, the Houndoom's teeth gleamed with an eerie light as it lunged at Yuga.
As soon as the Houndoom was released from its Poké Ball, Absol burst out from Yuga's own, launching a sucker punch. In an instant, the Houndoom was knocked down.
The person who had been making a fuss just a moment ago witnessed his Houndoom being defeated in an instant. His voice, which had been loud and aggressive, suddenly came to an abrupt halt, sounding like a duck whose throat had been squeezed shut.
With an elegant stride, Absol slowly approached the person. The oppressive aura exuding from its Ability left the person breathless, and he ended up sitting on the ground, trembling.
Yuga looked at him disdainfully and sneered, "You dare to launch a sneak attack like this? Ignorant fool!"
As Absol drew closer to the person, his body shivered with fear. At this moment, Touya, who was among the crowd, stepped forward again.
"Boss, I think you should stop now. It won't be good if Officer Jenny finds out about this."
Touya's words made Yuga feel like bursting into laughter and shouting "Haha" three times at the sky. This person was making Yuga want to laugh out loud with his lack of common sense.
"Are you sure you want Officer Jenny to find out about this? Do you want her to know that you're causing a scene and attacking Trainers with Pokémon?"
Upon hearing these words, Touya's expression immediately turned gloomy. That's right, whether it was causing a disturbance or releasing a Pokémon to attack Trainers, their side was in the wrong. Meanwhile, the other side was merely acting in self-defense.
Especially when it came to releasing a Pokémon to attack Trainers, a behavior strictly prohibited by the League, the consequences could be severe if it was proven. It might even result in the revocation of their Trainer status.
Thinking this through, Touya glared at the person who was lying on the ground, trembling in fear. He couldn't help but curse in his mind: What an idiot!
