I'm the Owner of the Pokémon Day Care In the World of Pokémon Chapter 609: Keystone

After leaving the Ecopark, Yuga went to the Gym to et Steven.

When Yuga arrived, he found Steven sitting leisurely in the lobby, sipping tea.

"You seem quite relaxed. I really appreciate your help this ti," Yuga said as he took a seat across from Steven and poured himself a cup of tea.

"No need to thank . When should we have dinner?" Steven smacked his lips, seemingly reminiscing about the cooking skills of Audino, which he missed.

Although Steven had trained a Audino of his own, it seed like his skill tree had gone awry. The food he prepared always turned out to be a disaster, but when it ca to battling, his Audino was fierce and uncompromising.

Sotis, Steven even wondered if he had tad not a Audino but a disguised Ursaring.

He couldn't help but envy Yuga's Audino.

The operation to besiege the Team Aqua Branch had taken two days in total—one day to get there, one day for the operation, and another day to return. It was already quite late when they ca back, making it an appropriate ti for dinner.

Upon hearing Steven's words, Yuga chuckled and said, "Are you here just to eat? You seem quite idle."

Steven shrugged. "Well, it's a side benefit, isn't it? I'm on vacation at the mont, so staying here for a few days won't hurt. You wouldn't kick out, would you? That wouldn't be very nice!"

Yuga waved his hand dismissively. "It's up to you. Stay as long as you like. But I contacted you for another reason."

Steven raised an eyebrow. "What's the matter?"

Before, Steven had regarded Yuga as a junior due to Yuga's younger age and lower strength. However, after this operation, his perception of Yuga had completely changed. Yuga's flying Lapras had impressed him greatly.

"I want to talk about ga Evolution," Yuga said.

"Do you know about ga Evolution?" Steven asked in return, though he didn't appear too surprised.

Knowledge of ga Evolution was rare nowadays, but it was entirely normal for Yuga to be aware of it because he was Mr. Kuni'o's disciple. This fact wasn't a secret to Steven.

However, what surprised Steven was that Yuga knew about ga Evolution but had no connection to Mr. Kuni'o, who had never ntioned ga Evolution to him.

"Yes, I know about it. I even traded a Gyarados ga Evolution Stone with Venusaur ga Evolution Stone from Robert," Yuga continued.

Trading ga Evolution Stones with Robert wasn't sothing Yuga needed to keep a secret anymore. He had acquired enough self-preservation capabilities by now.

"Robert's Gyaradosite ca from you?" Steven was genuinely surprised this ti.

He knew about the trade where Robert exchanged a Gyaradosite for a Venusaurite, thanks to Wallace informing him.

Steven felt envious because both Robert and Wallace, now had ga Evolution Stones corresponding to their Pokémon. anwhile, he didn't have any. He did own ga Evolution Stones, but none of them were suitable for his Pokémon, which was quite frustrating.

The ga Evolution Stones he desired the most were those for tagross and Aggron, but these were hard to co by, even though he was the heir to the Devon Corporation.

"Yes," Yuga nodded.

"Do you want to trade ga Evolution Stones with , too?" Steven asked.

Yuga shook his head. "I want Keystone."

Steven realized that he didn't need ga Evolution Stones; he needed a Keystone.

Steven paused for a mont, then nodded. "I understand. Do you have ga Evolution Stones for tagross and Aggron?"

Steven didn't think Yuga would have these two specific ga Evolution Stones, but other ga Evolution Stones would be of no use to him. What he was looking for were those specific ga Evolution Stones.

Of course, if Yuga were willing to give them to him as a gift, that would be a different story. After all, ga Evolution Stones were valuable collectibles in their own right.

Upon hearing this, Yuga silently took out a ga Evolution Stone with white and brown spiral patterns and placed it on the table.

"What's this?" Steven asked, his pupils contracting as he saw the ga Evolution Stone. He didn't know which Pokémon this ga Evolution Stone corresponded to, but since Yuga knew his request and brought it out, Steven had an idea.

At present, people didn't fully understand ga Evolution, including which ga Evolution Stones corresponded to which Pokémon. Although Steven knew that both tagross and Aggron could ga Evolve, he had never seen the specific ga Evolution Stones for these two.

"This is for tagross," Yuga explained.

"Really?" Steven's heart involuntarily skipped a beat upon receiving a confirmation from Yuga. Still, his strong composure prevented any visible emotions from showing on his face.

"Of course, I have no reason to deceive you," Yuga replied with a smile.

In fact, Yuga had wanted to discuss this matter with Steven during the recent opening ceremony of the Verdanturf Gym. However, he had been too busy at the ti, and Steven's departure had been hasty, so Yuga had montarily forgotten.

Steven nodded, acknowledging the situation.

"But are you sure about trading a Keystone? ga Evolution Stones are much more valuable than Keystones," Steven cautioned.

While he coveted the ga Evolution Stone for tagross, he didn't want to take advantage of soone he had a good relationship with, especially since Steven had spare Keystones.

Keystones could correspond to any ga Evolution Stone, making them versatile, and, as of now, Keystones were more abundant in number compared to ga Evolution Stones.

"Then, how about offering sothing in return?" Yuga suggested. While he was unaware of the value of ga Evolution Stones compared to Keystones, he knew Steven to be an honest individual.

Steven pondered for a mont before responding, "How about this: I'll give you full credit for the success of the operation to besiege the Team Aqua Branch. When you report it, don't ntion my involvent at all. You can take all the credit."

Even though this operation had significant achievents, Steven had no need for additional recognition. Trading for a ga Evolution Stone for tagross, especially one for a Pseudo-Legendary Pokémon, was a great deal for him.

"Alright, let's go with that," Yuga agreed. At this point, he wanted to earn more rit Points, as he had recently acquired a Lapras as his main team, and it's an Elite level Pokémon. Providing it with Water Gem and Ice Gem would help it grow faster, ensuring it wouldn't be overshadowed by others.

Steven added, "However, my Keystones aren't with right now. I'll call soone to bring them here imdiately."

"Sure, let's wait for you to bring the Keystones before finalizing the trade," Yuga said, casting a playful glance at Steven, who was trying to seize the opportunity.

Steven extended his hand, "Ah, co on..."

This guy! He can't stand even the slightest disadvantage. Can I even take advantage of him?

Seeing the almost-secured ga Evolution Stone for tagross slipping away, Steven felt his blood boil with frustration.
