777 Aftermath

After contacting Steven, Yuga informed him about Miyuki's identity as Ariana and the infamous thief Brodie. He instructed Steven to station people at Miyuki's home to see if they could capture her.

Yuga knew that capturing someone as cautious as Miyuki would be challenging, but it was better to be safe than sorry.

Upon receiving Yuga's message, Steven swiftly led his team to stake out Miyuki's home. However, they ultimately couldn't apprehend her.

Miyuki's grandfather and sister had no idea what was happening at the time and were held under Steven and the people from Prosecutor Bureau supervision.

It wasn't until the situation was resolved that they learned their granddaughter (sister) had secretly been a member of an Illegal organization.

During the six years Miyuki had been away from home, Yuga and the others believed she had gone to Kanto to join Team Rocket.

Miyuki had exceptional talent as a Trainer, and Team Rocket was the most significant dark force in Kanto and Johto. Combining the two, it wouldn't have been difficult for Miyuki to become an Elite level Trainer.

Considering Ariana's active presence in Kanto, this theory seemed highly plausible to Yuga and his team.

Inside Miyuki's home, the League apprehended several Team Rocket infiltrators whom Miyuki had placed in the incense workshop. After capturing these infiltrators, Miyuki remained elusive.

These Team Rocket members were part of Miyuki's team she had infiltrated into Hoenn region. Their plan to infiltrate Hoenn region was disrupted before it could be put into action.

However, this incident revealed the grand ambitions of Team Rocket. After taking control of the dark forces in Kanto and Johto, they aimed to expand their influence into Hoenn region.

From the captured Team Rocket members, the League learned that Team Rocket intended to use Miyuki's family's incense workshop as a base of operations in Hoenn region.

Miyuki had long held complete control over the family's incense business, which provided the opportunity for Team Rocket's plans.

Miyuki had infiltrated Team Magma as an undercover agent, with the same goal in mind: preparing for Team Rocket's eventual invasion of Hoenn region.

To fully invade the Hoenn region region, Team Rocket had to consider the existing forces there: Team Magma and Team Aqua. The League's sensitivity to dark forces was not as high as Team Rocket's.

While the League believed Team Magma to be a harmless civilian organization, Team Rocket had already investigated their true intentions.

Now, the League finally understood that the organization they believed to be a civilian group, Team Magma, was of the same nature as the wanted Team Aqua.

Yuga only learned recently that Brodie was also a member of Team Magma. Miyuki played the role of a spy within a spy.

Yuga had to admire Miyuki's extraordinary transformation abilities and her profound scheming. She had deceived both Team Magma and everyone else, truly living up to her title as one of the Executives of Team Rocket.

As for Miyuki's wanted status, her sister, Yukino, couldn't care less. She was only concerned about whether she could continue to enjoy her life as a wealthy heiress.

Miyuki's grandfather, on the other hand, secretly rejoiced. With Miyuki gone, the control of the family would return to his hands, and his grandson, Yasushi, would once again become the heir to the incense workshop.

However, Miyuki's grandfather's happiness didn't last long.

After Miyuki's identity was revealed and she became a wanted criminal by the League, their family business was severely affected, almost crumbling. The title of being the No. 1 incense workshop was shattered.

Miyuki, the genius girl, had been well-known in the incense industry for years. But no one had expected her to be even more formidable than they had imagined.

Due to the League's wanted status and investigation, Miyuki's past experiences were dug up. This exposed her grandfather to much ridicule in the shadows, with many mocking him for failing to see her true nature.

From Miyuki's experiences, there's no doubt that she was an exceptionally talented individual. Whether it was in the art of crafting incense or her talent as a Trainer, her achievements were impressive.

Everyone believed that even if the family tradition restricted her from pursuing incense-making, there would have been no problem supporting her in becoming a Trainer.

If Miyuki's grandfather hadn't been so suspicious and biased, perhaps their family would have had an Elite level Trainer in the family now.

Having an Elite level Trainer in charge made a significant difference compared to not having one.

Unfortunately, this possibility was extinguished.

Because of this, not only did Miyuki's grandfather face ridicule from his peers, but many other factions also mocked him for his narrow-mindedness.

During the years when Miyuki was in control of the family business, Team Rocket had infiltrated it thoroughly.

Now that Team Rocket was arrested, the repercussions were felt, and the incense workshop couldn't operate as usual.

Furthermore, Miyuki's wanted status became a stain on their family's reputation, causing their incense business to lose credibility. Many partners terminated their collaborations.

To make matters worse, the League Store also terminated their contracts with their family.

Businesses with a tarnished reputation were not eligible to collaborate with League Store. While Miyuki had participated in the bidding process as an incense maker, she was now a wanted criminal.

After learning about the events, Yasushi went back home briefly, but soon he returned to the YoYo Day Care. However, he seemed emotionally affected and didn't appear in high spirits.

Regarding Yasushi's family's future developments, Yuga didn't have clear information. He only heard that Yasushi had returned home and had a heated argument with his grandfather, indicating a disagreement on certain matters.

Yasushi didn't seem inclined to return home, and Yuga didn't press him further. He simply started planning to train new incense makers.

Although Yasushi currently had no intention of taking over the family business, Yuga knew that day would eventually come.

His grandfather, while far from perfect, had been good to Yasushi. Yuga believed that Yasushi wouldn't abandon his grandfather to handle the family's troubles alone, especially with an unreliable sister at home.

Yuga suspected that Yasushi's grandfather might redirect his anger towards Yukino because they were sisters.

After all, Miyuki and Yukino are biological sisters, and his grandfather's character was questionable, the possibility such a scenario happend was high.

Their family was now truly in disarray, holding onto the title of a hundred-year-old incense maker family, but the business was declining day by day.

To be prepared for any situation, Yuga decided to nurture new incense makers while Yasushi was still around.

YoYo Day Care had expanded its business significantly, and relying solely on Lain, an incense maker, was no longer sufficient.

While Yasushi was still in the area, Yuga thought he could acquire some knowledge and skills from him.
