760 Commission

After the New Year, Yuga clearly felt that business at the YoYo Day Care had improved compared to before.

Originally, Yuga had spent a large sum of money to build the Pokémon Paradise, and he could see his funds gradually increasing.

At present, the bulk of YoYo Day Care's profits didn't come from selling Pokémon but from selling Pokéblock and incense, with incense being the most profitable.

Currently, there were two employees at YoYo Day Care who made incense: one was the long-time employee, Lain, and the other was the affordable assistant they had hired, Yasushi.

Yasushi and Lain had different methods for making incense, resulting in different end products, but Yasushi's skill was truly remarkable. In terms of incense quality, he was no less than Lain, which piqued Yuga's curiosity about his background.

However, Yasushi wasn't willing to talk about it, and Yuga didn't push him. As long as he worked diligently and obediently, Yuga had modest expectations.

These two individuals usually made incense without interfering with each other, and they had no intention of learning from each other.

Fortunately, having Yasushi around was a blessing because, with YoYo Day Care's business booming, relying solely on Lain would have been quite challenging.

In addition to supplying their store, Lain also had to produce extra stock for the league stores.

Initially, Yuga had some concerns about Yasushi, given that he had been hired without much background information.

However, since Yasushi arrived at YoYo Day Care, he had been well-behaved, hardworking, and got along well with other employees, which eased Yuga's worries.

On this day, Yuga and Audino were preparing to deliver a batch of incense and Pokéblock ordered by customers to the Pidgey Express in town. However, they realized that the quantity of goods was a bit much for just the two of them to handle.

Hmm... it might be time to buy a truck, Yuga thought, looking at the pile of goods.

However, even if he planned to buy a truck, he would still have to deliver the current goods himself.

Other staff in the store were busy, and Yuga didn't want to burden the girls with delivery tasks, so he decided to call Windy from upstairs to help.

Windy often helped with deliveries to the Pidgey Express, so when Yuga called, he promptly came.

With Windy's assistance, Yuga and Audino finally delivered the goods to the Pidgey Express.

The employees at Pidgey Express were delighted to see Yuga and his group, treating them warmly. YoYo Day Care had become a regular partner of Pidgey Express's Verdanturf Town branch and their largest customer in town. Referring to Yuga as their lucky charm wasn't an exaggeration, so they naturally treated him with great care.

"Why did the Gym Leader himself come to deliver today?" Manager Abe of Pidgey Express asked Yuga with some surprise and excitement.

Since YoYo Day Care's business had improved, he and Yuga had frequent interactions. He had been planning to visit Yuga personally to ask for a favor, but he didn't expect Yuga to show up on his own.

As YoYo Day Care's business continued to grow, Yuga's status had risen, making Manager Abe treat him with increasing caution.

As the performance of the Pidgey Express Branch in Verdanturf Town gradually improved, Anbu's treatment and status also received corresponding improvement. So, Yuga and YoYo Day Care can currently be considered his cash cows.

"Just had some free time, so decided to lend a hand," Yuga replied with a smile.

Pidgey Express was the leading company in the transportation industry of the Pokémon world. They had branches in various regions and cities, and their influence was significant.

Its founder was a Flying-type Pokémon Trainer who excelled in training Pokémon like Pidgey, Pidgeotto, and Pidgeot, hence the name Pidgey Express.

However, if you thought Pidgey Express was just a transportation company, you were greatly mistaken.

Transportation companies like them often encountered accidents or incidents during the transportation of goods, so when it came to handling large or long-distance shipments, the strength of the Flying-type Pokémon responsible for the transportation exceeded imagination.

It was said that as long as you could pay the price, they could even dispatch Elite level Pokémon to ensure the safety of your goods.

Such large companies usually trained numerous Trainers.

Taking Manager Abe as an example, Yuga knew that he wasn't just the manager of Pidgey Express's Verdanturf Town branch; he was also a Trainer with strength almost reaching pseudo-Elite levem. His Pidgeot was just one step away from reaching pseudo-Elite level, and sometimes he helped the delivery service himself.

Perhaps his strength alone wasn't terrifying, but when you considered the entire Hoenn region, or even the entire Pokémon world, how many towns were there like Verdanturf Town? When you did the math, the number of Trainers affiliated with Pidgey Express was indeed staggering.

"In that case, we at Pidgey Express have a request, and we were hoping that Gym Leader Shimizu could lend a hand. I had actually planned to visit you in person, but I didn't expect you to come on your own," Manager Abe said with a smile.

"A request?" Yuga asked, puzzled.

"Yes, to be precise, it's not just a request from Pidgey Express; it's also related to the Joy family."

Upon hearing this, Yuga became even more curious.

"Tell me more."

Yuga said to Manager Abe.

"Here's what happened..."

Manager Abe explained the cause of the incident.

It turned out that the Joy family of Hoenn had commissioned Pidgey Express to transport a batch of Pokémon Eggs to Kanto, which would pass through Verdanturf Town on the way.

Because this involved the Joy family, it was a rare and significant business deal, so the higher-ups at Pidgey Express attached great importance to it, and their young boss was in charge of this mission.

Pidgey Express's young boss was a highly skilled Trainer, responsible for escorting many large shipments in the past, and he was highly respected within the company. Therefore, they entrusted this mission to the young boss with full confidence.

However, shortly after the transport team set off, the Joy family received a message that someone was planning to interfere with the shipment in Verdanturf Town.

Initially, Pidgey Express didn't pay much attention to this matter, believing that with their young boss in charge, there would be no problems with the transport team.

But the Joy family insisted and repeatedly reminded them that relying solely on Pidgey Express's young boss was not enough. They requested additional manpower to ensure the safety of this batch of Pokémon Eggs.

The Joy family had a strong information network, so their repeated warnings left Pidgey Express with no choice but to take the matter seriously.

However, at this point, it was nearly impossible for them to allocate enough personnel on such short notice, especially personnel more capable than their young boss.

They were in a dilemma. If anything went wrong with this business deal, their reputation would be tarnished, and there was even a chance of offending the Joy family.

It was said that the Joy family attached great importance to this batch of Pokémon Eggs.

During this difficult time, the Joy family offered a solution.

Since the opposing party planned to act in Verdanturf Town, they suggested seeking help from Verdanturf Town. All that was required was to offer sufficient compensation.

Now, when it came to Verdanturf Town, everyone knew there was a strong Gym Leader here.

Setting aside the compensation, this was a criminal case, and as a Gym Leader affiliated with the League, Yuga had an obligation to assist in capturing the criminals.

The higher-ups at Pidgey Express also thought this was an excellent solution, so they assigned the task of seeking help from Verdanturf Town to their Verdanturf Town branch and promised Yuga ample compensation.
