Arrangements

After Yuga's aunt and uncle left, Yuga took Audino and went to the Ecopark.

Upon returning, there were still several matters in the Ecopark that required Yuga's attention.

Entering the main Ecopark, the first thing Yuga noticed was Gardevoir (Male), who was teaching five Ralts about the ways of training. Gardevoir had a brilliant smile on its face, indicating that its life in the Ecopark had finally settled down.

However, as soon as it saw Yuga, its smile vanished, and it left a few Ralts behind, using its Teleport move to hide beneath the Weather Tree.

Yuga shrugged it off; regardless of Gardevoir's attitude towards him, as long as it was happy here and didn't cause trouble, Yuga didn't mind.

Leaving the main Ecopark, Yuga visited several Sub-Ecopark to check on the other Pokémon. They were thrilled to see Yuga return after not seeing him for over ten days.

Yuga was pleasantly surprised to find that the Charmeleon he had teleported home earlier had completed its evolution on its own, becoming a mighty Charizard. However, upon seeing Yuga, Charizard rushed over, embraced him, nuzzled him, and tears welled up in its eyes.

This was the first time Charizard had been separated from Yuga for such a long period, and it retained its emotional nature despite evolving into a powerful Charizard.

Yuga comforted Charizard for a while, and it managed to hold back its tears.

...

<<Charizard>>

Type: Fire

Gender: Female

Ability: Blaze

Nature: Modest

Level: 42

Moves: Scratch, Ember, Hidden Power (Electric), Dragon Dance, Outrage, Smokescreen, Iron Tail, Flamethrower, Fire Fang, Scary Face, Sunny Day, Fire Punch, Fire Blast, Dragon Pulse.

...

Yuga used his Insight ability to assess Charizard's training progress and discovered that not only had its level increased, but it had also learned two rare moves: Fire Blast and Dragon Pulse. He praised Charizard for its dedication despite his absence.

Next, Yuga found Purrloin and Zoroark's family in the Grassland Sub-Ecopark. Thanks to Audino and Wigglytuff's arrangements, they were living comfortably in the Ecopark and seemed to get along well with Persian and the three Delcatty.

In addition to Charizard's evolution, the Swabblu with blue potential had also evolved into a Altaria, becoming the leader of their small group, gracefully soaring in the sky over the grasslands with over ten other Swabblu.

All the Lotads had evolved into Lombre, and Yuga noticed them diligently patrolling the herb fields in the Grassland Sub-Ecopark, taking their responsibilities for tending to the fields seriously.

In the ten-plus days that Yuga had been away, the herb fields in the Grassland Sub-Ecopark had expanded many times over and were now planted with numerous common and useful herbs. These were the tasks Yuga had assigned to the Grass-type Pokémon before he left, preparing materials for crafting Incense. The Grass-type Pokémon had performed exceptionally well in completing this task.

The Revival Herbs growing in the fields were thriving, and it wouldn't be long before they matured. Then Yuga could start making Max Revive, which would help Dragonair's mother, Dragonite, wake up.

Moreover, the Revival Herb seed that Bell Tower had given Yuga had successfully sprouted.

Yuga also encountered the lively Bagon in Miltank Leader's care. It had come to regard Miltank Leader as its mother. Wherever Miltank Leader went, the little one followed, taking small steps behind.

After introducing the Bagon to the Deino he had obtained from Mr. Charles, the two little ones quickly hit it off and began playing together. Both of them had only recently hatched, making them simple-minded and easily able to enjoy each other's company.

Continuing on, Yuga headed to the Flower Sea Sub-Ecopark to entrust the recently acquired Cottonee to the care of the Grass-type Pokémon there. He also decided to leave Florges, Chimecho, and Vivillon in the Flower Sea Sub-Ecopark.

He entrusted Turtwig to Florges.

He sent Kabutops to the Shallow Seashore Sub-Ecopark to recover from its injuries.

Yuga had been spending time with Kabutops over the past few days, and its injuries were almost fully healed now. It just needed some rest.

Near the central lake of the first island in the Shallow Seashore Sub-Ecopark, Yuga met Breloom.

It was sparring with Greninja in the forest on the island. Yuga noticed that its combat abilities had improved significantly. While it still wasn't a match for Greninja, it could hold its own in a battle.

After seeing Yuga, Breloom received the Green Crystal he had obtained from Virizion. Upon using it, as expected, its potential changed from green to blue.

...

<<Breloom (Toxic Orb)>>

Type: Grass/Fighting

Gender: Male

Potential: Blue

Level: 36

Moves: Tackle, Stun Spore, Headbutt, Leech Seed, Bullet Seed, Drain Punch, Payback, Stone Edge, Mach Punch.

...

Breloom used to be at a similar level to Charizard when it was still a Shroomish. However, Charizard had already reached level 42, while Breloom was still at level 36 due to differences in their potential.

Furthermore, Breloom had the fewest moves among Yuga's main Pokémon. Potential also affected a Pokémon's ability to comprehend and awaken new moves.

However, upon its potential upgrade, Breloom awakened Mach Punch move, With its potential now in the blue range, Yuga expected its progress to be faster in the future.

As for Archeops and the Mandibuzzs, Yuga had no plans to release them yet. They had not been properly trained, and releasing them into the Ecopark would only cause trouble.

However, Yuga intended to assign Archeops and the Mandibuzzs to the third island in the central lake of the Shallow Seashore Sub-Ecopark.

Currently, the first island's central lake was inhabited by Milotic, Gyarados, Linoone, and Mightyena. The second island's central lake was home to the Oddish family and the Hoppip family. The third island's central lake was currently unoccupied.

Yuga's plan was to first properly tame Archeops and then appoint it as the guardian of the Mandibuzz family. This way, he wouldn't have to worry about the fierce Mandibuzzs causing trouble.

However, Yuga still didn't know how to make Archeops obedient.

Before releasing the Mandibuzzs onto the third island, Yuga planned to place them in the Desert Sub-Ecopark first. This would allow them to battle the Gligars and Flygons living there. Once they were convinced through battle, it would be easier to manage them.

Yuga had only selected the Mandibuzzs with good potential from the Mandibuzz family group. Their numbers were not particularly large, and Yuga was confident in taming them all.

Meanwhile, the Shiny Ariados living in the oasis forest of the Desert Sub-Ecopark had met its potential partner, Galvantula.
