Return

Yuga's journey back to Hoenn went smoothly. After disembarking from the Aroma Day Care's aircraft, he declined Momiji's invitation to visit the Aroma Day Care headquarters.

Instead, he took a car back to Verdanturf Town with the two brothers Kazuma and Shin.

When they arrived at their home, they coincidentally encountered Purrloin, who had been patrolling outside, returning. Behind Purrloin, there was another Purrloin that looked identical.

Yuga used his Insight ability to realize that the second Purrloin was actually Purrloin's sister, Zorua, who transformed into Purrloin.

Purrloin, upon seeing Yuga's return, brightened up. It lifted its right front paw as if to approach Yuga, but then it seemed to recall something and sat down, maintaining a reserved attitude while gazing at Yuga.

"Zorua... Zorua..."

Seeing Yuga's return, Zorua immediately ran happily to Yuga's side and nuzzled against his leg.

"I'm back!"

Yuga crouched down and petted Zorua's soft fur.

Although Zorua maintained the appearance of a Purrloin due to its Illusion ability, in reality, it was still a Zorua.

Compared to Purrloin's silky smooth fur, Zorua's fur was a bit fluffier.

"Zorua... Zorua..." Welcome home.

Zorua nuzzled Yuga's palm with its head.

"Gym Leader, if it's alright, we'll head home first," Shin said to Yuga. They had accompanied Yuga to Kalos, and they hadn't been home for several days.

"Sure, go ahead. You've been a big help these past few days," Yuga turning his head and replied.

After the two brothers Kazuma and Shin left, Yuga said to Purrloin and Zorua.

"Let's go home," Yuga said to them.

As soon as Yuga stepped inside the shop, an unidentified object rushed toward him at lightning speed, attaching itself to his face in a surprise attack. It even had a long, ribbon-like object constricting his neck.

Yuga was nearly suffocated by the mysterious object that was stuck to his face, but he managed to tear it off!

"Chimecho... Chimecho..."

Yuga hadn't even opened his eyes when he heard this familiar sound, and he immediately felt joy.

"Chimecho, you're back!"

Chimecho, whom Yuga had just peeled off his face, was now looking at him with an accusing expression.

"Chimecho... Chimecho... Chimecho..."

Yuga! Did you provoke other little fairies while I wasn't here? Why are you treating me so roughly?

"Little fairy?"

Yuga was momentarily confused by Chimecho's words. Then he understood what Chimecho was saying and said with a wry smile:

"No, no! I just didn't see clearly that it was you!"

And here you are, reunited with your trainer after a long time, and this is what you care about? Shouldn't you be expressing your longing with tears? Or maybe being cute and adorable?

"Chimecho... Chimecho..."

Really not?

Chimecho looked at Yuga with a skeptical expression.

"No, really!" Yuga assured.

Seeing Chimecho's expression that reluctantly believed him, Yuga took its hand and said, "Let's not talk about this. Let's go back to the Ecopark!"

When Audino heard that from Suzuki Koen that Yuga had returned, she rushed to the shop, but Yuga had already left.

Seeing Audino's disappointed expression, Suzuki Koen sighed and said, "Boss, you're truly a man with a lot of sins."

At that moment, Chatot that had returned outside burst into the shop and exclaimed, "I heard my darling is back! Where is he?"

With a speechless expression, Suzuki Koen sighed again, "Truly a man with a lot of sins!"

Once inside the Ecopark with Chimecho, Yuga couldn't wait to use his Insight ability to check Chimecho's data.

Training with the Legendary Pokémon Deoxys, Chimecho, should indeed bring some surprises!

...

Originally, Chimecho move sets was the most abundant move sets among Yuga's main Pokémon, but after returning this time, it seems to have become even more impressive.

Especially noteworthy is the addition of the move "Recover," which Chimecho can only inherit, likely also from Deoxys.

Speaking of it, Chimecho seems to be going further on the path of immortality!

Of course, having a rich move set is one thing, but what's more important is that its potential has turned purple, becoming Yuga's third Pokémon with a purple potential.

Additionally, Chimecho's level has increased significantly, reaching the same stage as Pokémon like Vivillon.

However, even with these improvements, Chimecho hasn't managed to break through to the Elite level.

Reaching the Elite level isn't an easy feat; it signifies that a Pokémon's power has entered a higher level of life. Pokémon like Dragonite and Charizard managed to break through thanks to the accumulations during the two years in Arus.

If other Pokémon, breaking through requires gradual improvement bit by bit over time.

Seeing Yuga's delighted expression, Chimecho raised its head proudly : How about that! I've become really strong, haven't I?

Yuga, putting away his smile, said to Chimecho, "How about we test your strength? Now that Vivillon has also become quite very powerful, what do you say you have a little spar?"

Data is just data; true strength is proven in battle.

Upon hearing Yuga praise the other Pokémon as strong, Chimecho felt unhappy, even if it was its little sisters. It thought: I just came back, and you're already praising them so much. You're completely unreliable! You don't take me seriously at all!

Yuga didn't understand Chimecho's mindset and continued to look at it with anticipation.

Chimecho coldly snorted: Fine, let's have a spar. I don't believe Vivillon can become stronger than me.

Since Chimecho agreed, Yuga took it to the Desert Sub-Ecopark, where the environment was empty and open, allowing them for free movement.

When Vivillon came out and saw Chimecho return, it was very happy and wanted to share its joy about becoming stronger, but Chimecho stopped it.

"Chimecho... Chimecho..."

Please, break up with me for an hour!

Vivillon was puzzled: What did I do wrong? What's going on?

The preparations for the match were quickly made. Both Pokémon floated in the air, occasionally feeling a breeze that stirred up swirls of yellow sand, obscuring their vision.

"You're free to use any moves you want! I won't interfere!" Yuga shouted to them.

At Yuga's command, Vivillon's four butterfly wings each gathered a yellow-green energy sphere the size of an adult's fist.

"Signal Beam?"

Yuga hadn't expected Vivillon to open with such a powerful move. He knew the strength of Vivillon's Signal Beam.

This time, Vivillon had awakened and enhanced its Bug-type abilities, and last time, it used Signal Beam to knocked the Bellossom and Roserade in no time.
