I'm the Owner of the Pokémon Day Care In the World of Pokémon Chapter 422: Golden Surprise

After wandering around the vicinity of the Bell Tower with Morty and Eusine, Yuga returned to the Pokémon Center.

Morty had initially invited Yuga to visit Ecruteak Gym as a guest, but Yuga declined, citing his intention to leave Ecruteak City. He didn't want to get involved too deeply in unnecessary adventures, especially considering the secrets connected to the Ghost World Origin Stone in his possession.

He rested another night at the Pokémon Center in Ecruteak City. The next morning, he received a ssage from Nurse Joy, informing him that a young monk was looking for him.

Upon reaching the Pokémon Center's lobby, Yuga encountered the young monk he had seen near the entrance to the ninth floor of the Bell Tower. The monk handed him a letter from Abbot Joe and promptly departed.

Yuga opened the envelope and found a ssage along with a map inside. Joe's note instructed him to lead the chosen one to Raizen Mountain Range, where the trials of the Rainbow Hero would comnce. The map provided detailed directions to Raizen Mountain Range.

Upon examining the map, Yuga beca infuriated. The location indicated on the map was in the Kanto region, far from the Johto region.

Enraged by the inconvenience caused by Joe's manipulation, Yuga could hardly contain his frustration. He felt as if Joe were treating him like a re errand boy rather than a respected trainer.

Despite his anger, Yuga packed his belongings and decided to leave Ecruteak City that very day to find the so-called "chosen one." However, he had no idea how to locate this individual.

Yuga took out the Rainbow Feather from his system's backpack, inspecting it closely. Despite examining it multiple tis, he found no clues or indications of its purpose.

Feeling perplexed, Yuga decided to head to the Kanto region first since Raizen Mountain Range was undoubtedly located there. Perhaps he would co across the chosen one in the vicinity.

He boarded a flight to New Bark Town, as it was the closest town in the Kanto region. From there, he would follow Route 27, Tohjo Waterfall, Route 26, Champion Road, and Route 22 to reach the Viridian City in the Kanto region.

The Johto and Kanto regions were previously part of the sa area when the Pokémon League was first established. They were later divided into two regions with Mt. Silver serving as the boundary.

As Yuga sat on the plane bound for New Bark Town, he recalled the rushed departure that morning, realizing that he hadn't checked the Trainer Store in the system.

Checking the daily refresh of the Trainer Store had beco a daily ritual for Yuga, hoping for so unexpected surprises, perhaps even a golden item.

With these thoughts in mind, Yuga opened the Trainer Store in the system.

And then... just as he dared to hope... it happened!

Seeing the dazzling golden light in one of the nine slots, Yuga couldn't help but feel like shouting for joy. Finally, his luck seed to be turning!

It must be the compensation given by the system to see how badly he was abused by that bastard Joe, Yuga thought.

However, the golden item ca with a hefty price tag of 5 million Pokédollar.

[ First golden item at half price! ] a voice from the system suddenly rang out in Yuga's mind.

Just this 5 million for half price? What is so valuable?

Yuga didn't hesitate and imdiately exchanged for the item.

In an instant, a substantial portion of his savings vanished. Yuga couldn't help but feel that his money didn't last long, even though he had earned quite a bit from the YoYo Day Care. Each ti he spent money, it seed to disappear in the blink of an eye.

With the exchange complete, Yuga's attention shifted to the golden item now resting in his system's backpack.

"Seed of the Unknown?" he muttered to himself, puzzled by the item's na.

The item was roughly the size of a thumb, with a faint golden color and a subtle shimr. While it appeared luxurious, its na left Yuga bewildered.

Yuga asked, "System, what is the use of this item?"

The system responded, [ Unknown, its function is unknown. ]

"What on earth! So, the na 'Seed of the Unknown' ans we don't know its purpose?" Yuga exclaid.

Yuga asked, "Is this thing ant for Pokémon or for ?"

The system replied, [ Unknown! ]

Yuga couldn't believe it. He felt like the system was being uncooperative and not providing any useful information about an item he had acquired.

He decided to set the mystery aside for now and continue on to New Bark Town.

Seeing Yuga's expressions change repeatedly, the Chatot perched on Yuga's shoulder curiously asked, "Is sothing bothering you? Are you feeling unwell?"

Yuga quickly shook his head, not wanting to admit that he was frustrated by his own supposed "golden finger."

The flights within the sa region were quite fast, and by evening, Yuga had reached New Bark Town. He had traversed more than half of the Johto region, starting from Ecruteak City in the morning.

New Bark Town was known as the "Origin of the Wind," and it was famous for Professor Elm's Pokémon Research Lab, similar in status to Littleroot Town in the Hoenn region.

Upon arriving in New Bark Town, Yuga decided not to leave imdiately as it was getting late. Continuing to Kanto would an camping out in the wilderness. It was better to rest and prepare in New Bark Town.

Furthermore, Yuga had acquired a mysterious golden item, and he wanted to examine it closely.

He hurriedly took Chatot with him to the Pokémon Center in New Bark Town, had a simple al, and then checked into a room.

Once in his room, Yuga couldn't wait any longer and took the "Seed of the Unknown" from his system's backpack.

Watching Yuga hold the item emitting a golden glow, Chatot asked curiously, "What's that? It looks amazing!"

Yuga replied, "I don't know either; that's what I'm trying to figure out."

Chatot nodded in understanding and watched Yuga closely as he examined the "Seed of the Unknown." Yuga turned it around, trying to understand its purpose.

In a mont of curiosity and frustration, he even tried biting and licking it, almost as if he were considering eating it.

(_) For a mont, Chatot felt that its trainer was acting rather foolishly.

"It's not for !" Yuga concluded as he spat the item out.

Yuga deduced that it might be ant for Pokémon. He decided to release Absol, who had been sowhat neglected recently.

The reason why Yuga chose Absol is that Absol's current situation among Yuga's main Pokémon is a bit pitiful.

Therefore, Florges possesses a green gem; Vivillon has the Enchanted Honey of the Vespiqueen; Chicho possesses half of a Legendary Pokémon, Deoxys Energy Core; Bellossom, Ivysaur, and Shroomish can cultivate together with Yuga's special abilities; Charmander has reserved a red gem; even Roserade can benefit from Florges's special Grassy Terrain enhancent. Absol, on the other hand, has nothing.

Thinking about it, Absol is indeed quite unfortunate. As the first Pokémon that Yuga captured, Absol used to be the strongest mber of the team. Later, due to the continuous power-ups of its companions like Florges, Chicho, Vivillon, it gradually fell from its position as the team's powerhouse.

Furthermore, the "Seed of the Unknown" didn't seem to have any specific type or attribute associated with it, so it might work for any Pokémon.
