Parting

Early the next morning, Yuga indeed received the Pokémon that Lysandre had sent over, but they were presented in Nick's name.

After all, Yuga had appeared at the auction alongside Nick yesterday.

Lysandre had sent 20 Flabébé, 20 Spiritzee, and 20 Litleo, for a total of 60 Pokémon, all with green potential.

Each of the green potential Flabébé was worth around 300,000, totaling approximately 6 million for 20 of them.

The green potential Litleo were valued at around 400,000 each, totaling around 8 million for 20 of them.

The green potential Spiritzee were worth about 500,000 each, totaling roughly 10 million for 20 of them.

In an effort to win Yuga over, Lysandre, along with the payment Yuga received for his assistance, had suddenly put forth over 20 million. Their wealth couldn't be underestimated.

Seeing Yuga receive so many Pokémon, Momiji said with envy, "Being strong is great. You can make this much just by taking a stroll outside."

Momiji already knew that Yuga had appeared at the auction as Nick's bodyguard this time. She had previously apologized for keeping the auction a secret from Yuga.

Yuga didn't blame Momiji for keeping it secret. He understood her actions. Regardless of their relationship, it was a matter of trust.

"You guys didn't make any money at this auction, did you? You're really generous, selling off a Indigo potential Pseudo-Legendary Pokémon just like that."

Yuga teased Momiji.

Of course, he knew that the Five Giants had no choice but to sell that Larvitar. But Momiji wanted to make fun of him, and he couldn't resist playing along.

Any indigo potential Pokémon was a valuable asset for major factions. Even if it was just a indigo potential Caterpie.

In most cases, it was rare to encounter situations where they would sell an indigo potential Pokémon like this.

With proper nurturing, an indigo potential Pokémon could grow into a champion level Pokémon, and it will become a trump card in anyone's hands, regardless of who owned it.

Selling an Indigo potential Pseudo-Legendary Pokémon was definitely not something the Five Giants did without a heavy heart. However, with only one Pokémon and the need to distribute it among them, there was no other option.

Yuga's words hit a sore spot for Momiji, and she gave him an angry glare. "You're the only one who would say that!"

After saying this, she walked away, her high heels clicking.

The Aroma Day Care certainly tried to secure that Larvitar, but whether it was the Midnight Day Care that got it first or the other three Day Cares who heard about it later, no one wanted to let one of the Five Giants gain an advantage.

Selling Pokémon was a compromise among the Five Giants out of necessity.

The Pokémon Exchange Conference concluded successfully. Both Yuga and the Aroma Day Care obtained the breeding Pokémon they desired.

After the person who had brought Lysandre's Pokémon left, Yuga went outside to a grassy area where Clemont and Bonnie had been waiting for him.

During the Pokémon Exchange Conference, every morning, Clemont faithfully brought his Flaaffy over to train with Yuga's Dragonite.

Now, Flaaffy not only displayed Thunder Punch skillfully but had also learned Rain Dance from Dragonite.

Furthermore, its level had increased significantly, and it showed signs of evolution, indicating remarkable progress.

Releasing Dragonite to join Flaaffy in training, Yuga smiled and asked Bonnie, "Why did you come today, Bonnie?"

Clemont's training sessions were usually early, and Bonnie rarely woke up early, so most of the time, she wasn't there. It was quite unusual for her to be here so early today.

"Big brother said he'd take me to Parfumet Park to see Pokémon today. We have to go early!" Bonnie excitedly explained.

Parfumet Park was a Pokémon park in Lumiose City where many gentle, small-sized Pokémon were kept. It was a popular relaxation spot for the city's Pokémon enthusiasts.

The park was quite crowded later in the day, so going early was a wise choice.

"I see. Well then, I hope you both have a great time," Yuga said with a smile.

"Big brother, are you busy today? If not, why don't you come with us?" Bonnie asked.

Bonnie excitedly extended an invitation to Yuga.

Yuga shook his head in refusal, saying, "I won't be joining you. I have something to tell you both today. The Pokémon Exchange Conference in Lumiose City has ended for me, and I'll probably be taking the aircraft back to Hoenn tomorrow.

I thought I'd let you know here to save us the farewell tomorrow."

"Oh! So soon? Does that mean we won't see each other anymore?" Bonnie's face displayed a mixture of sadness and disappointment. After spending so many days together, she had grown quite fond of her gentle big brother.

"Why wouldn't we see each other again? In the future, if i have a chance to visit Kalos, I'll come to see you, and you can also come to Hoenn to visit me! Nowadays, transportation is so convenient; it's easy to travel back and forth.

Besides, when Bonnie becomes a Pokémon Trainer in the future, you can travel to Hoenn! I'll host you properly then," Yuga reassured her and patted her head. He knew that this young girl's dream was to become a Trainer as soon as possible.

"But it will still be a long time before I become a Trainer," Bonnie pouted, comparing her height to her brother's and feeling disappointed. Why was she growing so slowly?

"Big brother, if you're not in a hurry to go back, can't you stay in Lumiose City for a few more days?" Clemont suggested. He was also reluctant to part with Yuga so soon.

Yuga sighed and said, "I can't, you know! I'm a Gym Leader, and leaving the Gym for too long isn't a good idea."

After Yuga's reminder, Clemont remembered that Yuga was indeed a Gym Leader.

However, Clemont couldn't help but feel that Yuga was genuinely impressive, much more so than the current Lumiose City Gym Leaders he knew.

He silently made up his mind to work harder and become as strong as his big brother.

Yuga said, "You don't need to come to see me off tomorrow. We might leave early in the morning to avoid trouble you."

Due to their incoming separation, Yuga spent some extra time with Bonnie and Clemont before returning to his aircraft to prepare for his journey back to Hoenn.

The next day, as Yuga was packing his things in his room, Hatsuki told him that someone was looking for him. When he stepped outside the aircraft, he saw that it was Bonnie and Clemont who had come to visit.

Accompanying them was their mother.

Yuga couldn't help but say with a wry smile, "Didn't I say you don't need to come over?"

"We're fine at home!" Bonnie's expression seemed a bit sullen, lacking energy.

"You're leaving, so it's only right for them to come and see you off," Clemont's mother said. She was very grateful to the young man who had saved her son.

Yuga sighed in resignation and said, "Thank you for the trouble."

Yuga chatted with Bonnie and Clemont for a while, but the aircraft was about to take off. He had to bid them farewell, and Bonnie silently waved while tears welled up in her eyes.

Before leaving, Clemont's mother insisted on giving Yuga a lot of local specialties, and Yuga couldn't refuse, so he accepted them all.
