Chapter 585: Vacation
Chapter 585: Vacation
Just a day after Suzuye's purchase of incense, Yuga received a call from Sasaki Makoto. His five Gym apprentices' starter Pokémon had arrived.
Yuga had already installed a Pokémon Trade Machine in his new Gym, so there was no need to go to the Pokémon Center for transfers or retrievals.
The Trade Machine was located in the Gym's lobby.
Upon receiving the Poké Balls sent by Sasaki Makoto, Yuga called Arata Sena and the others to the Gym and handed over the six Eevees to them.
Anrin, Anmu, Ayagiri, and Ayato were all received Pokémon for the first time and were extremely excited. They treated their newly acquired Eevees with great care.
In the past two days, these four had transferred from the Trainer School to regular schools.
After receiving the Eevees, Yuga asked Akihiro and the others to start moving out.
The Gym was already completed, and as Gym apprentices, they no longer needed to stay at YoYo Day Care.
Even Arata Sena moved to the Gym at Yuga's request.
Initially, Arata Sena's mother, Aunt Aoba, had objections to Arata Sena becoming a Trainer. But since Yuga chose Arata Sena as a Gym apprentice, Aunt Aoba had stopped objecting.
Arata Sena's future was uncertain when he followed Yuga, but now, things had changed. Yuga had become a Gym Leader in Verdanturf Town, and the Pokémon League was his support. Aunt Aoba had silently accepted Arata Sena's decision to become a Trainer.
This showed that the Pokémon League held a respectable position in the minds of ordinary people.
In the afternoon, Yuga went to help at Lain's shop. However, he soon heard someone calling his name from outside.
As the voice got closer, Yuga realized that the loud voice could only belong to Luna!
When he stepped outside, he indeed saw Luna standing there, craning her neck to peer inside.
In addition to Luna, Yuga also spotted Rand and Robert.
"Why are you all back?" Yuga exclaimed in surprise upon seeing the three of them.
"Big Brother Yuga, I missed you so much!" Luna blinked and then jumped into Yuga's arms.
Yuga pulled Luna out of his embrace, looking disbelieving. "You missed me?"
"Hey, why can't I miss you!" Luna retorted.
Seeing Yuga's incredulous expression, Luna playfully gave him a punch.
Feeling the pain in his arm, Yuga thought, "This troublesome girl, after not seeing her for so long, she's lost all her manners. When did she get so strong?"
Luna's Mother, Aunt Hisako, disapproved of her daughter's decision to become a Trainer at first. But since Yuga selected Luna as a Gym apprentice, Aunt Hisako had stopped opposing it.
Aunt Hisako had resigned from her previous job and was currently learning the ropes of the new shop. She gradually took over Arata Sena's responsibilities.
"Are you all on vacation this time?" Yuga turned his gaze to Robert, as Trainers from the Preparation Camp rarely had vacations, and he wondered what had brought them here today.
Robert nodded and said with a smile, "Yes, both of them have some time off, so I decided to accompany them and pay you a visit."
Yuga considered it and realized that he hadn't seen Robert in a long time.
Long time no see, both Luna and Rand had grown taller, but their personalities remained relatively unchanged. Luna was still lively and cheerful, while Rand was still reserved and quiet.
If we must talk about changes, both Luna and Rand seem to have become more stable, relatively speaking, of course, especially Luna.
Yuga led the three of them into the reception room and chatted about recent developments. Yuga was quite interested in Luna and Rand's school studies, while Luna and Rand were curious about Yuga becoming a Gym Leader.
Rand specifically expressed his gratitude to Yuga, thanking him for providing his father with a high-paying job opportunity.
After chatting for a while, Luna pestered Yuga to visit the newly constructed Gym. Yuga couldn't refuse her, and seeing that Rand and Robert were also interested, he agreed.
When they arrived at the Gym, Luna, excited by the spacious battle arena, exclaimed, "Big Brother Yuga, let me show you my Pokémon!"
Yuga's eyes lit up. "Sure!"
He was very interested in Luna's progress at school during this time and wanted to see how well she had trained her Pokémon.
According to Robert, Luna's school performance was excellent, but Yuga hadn't witnessed it personally.
"Come out, my darlings!" Luna took out several Poké Balls, shouted, and threw them into the sky.
With flashes of red light, four Pokémon appeared outside.
Altaria, Magneton, Combusken, and Seviper.
Altaria is the Swablu Yuga had given to her, now is already evolved. The Magneton, which Luna and Rand had captured when it still magnemite. A strong-looking Combusken, likely one of the rewards from joining the Prep Camp. However, that Seviper seems a bit excessive!
"Where did you get this Seviper from, Luna?" Yuga asked, puzzled.
"Of course, I caught it myself! What do you think? Isn't Seviper super cool?" Luna said with pride, her face beaming.
"Well, you're quite amazing!" Yuga conceded.
Indeed, Luna had a unique sense of aesthetics.
But could a young girl capture such a formidable Seviper without any issues? Yuga wondered.
However, seeing that the Seviper listened to Luna's commands, he felt somewhat reassured.
This Seviper had excellent potential, possessing a blue potential. Yuga could tell it was still young, but in terms of size, it was thicker and larger than the typical fully grown Seviper. It must have been born with exceptional potential.
Among Luna's four Pokémon, Altaria had green potential, the Magneton also had green potrntial probably gained it due to the influence of Zapdos, the Combusken from the League also had green potential, and now, a blue potential Seviper. Luna's lineup was surpassing many experienced Trainers in terms of potential.
"How about it, Big Brother Yuga, am I amazing? Do you want to have a battle with me?" Luna asked proudly.
Yuga rubbed his chin thoughtfully. "Well, you're doing great, but you're still a bit early if you want to battle me."
Yuga now believed Robert's words; Luna's school performance was indeed impressive. Looking at her Pokémon's conditions, they had been trained quite well.
