I'm the Owner of the Pokémon Day Care In the World of Pokémon Chapter 909: Departure

After being struck down by Empoleon's Aqua Tail, Absol and Garchomp imdiately got back on their feet.

Absol maximized its Pressure Ability, causing an invisible aura to rise around it. The perceptive Empoleon naturally felt the pressure emanating from this psychic power.

Garchomp, on the other hand, ascended directly into the sky and unleashed its powerful move, Draco teor. Countless teors with fiery red tails streaked across the azure sky, heading towards Empoleon.

However, Garchomp wasn't a Pokémon particularly skilled in special attacks, so while Draco teor appeared impressive, its power was actually slightly lower than that of its initial move, Dragon Claw.

But Draco teor had one advantage – its attack range was exceptionally wide, making it challenging to evade once locked onto a target.

Of course, as a battle-hardened old champion level Pokémon, Empoleon remained calm when facing the incoming teors.

Slowly, it raised long strands of water around itself, and these water strands multiplied and ford a massive vortex, enveloping Empoleon's body. All the teors hurtling toward Empoleon were devoured by the vortex.

This was rely a basic move, Water Pulse, yet Empoleon used it to defend against the advanced move Draco teor, demonstrating its exceptional mastery of moves.

Using the soft to conquer the hard, this concept was evident.

After the Draco teor attack ceased, the vortex surrounding Empoleon didn't dissipate; instead, it spun even faster.

Shortly thereafter, nurous water arrows shot out from its edges, hissing as they raced toward Absol and Garchomp. It seed as though they intended to turn both Pokémon into pincushions.

Empoleon's water arrow attacks were based on the basic move, Water Gun, so their power wasn't particularly strong, but their attack density was excessively high.

Garchomp used its Dig move, burrowing into the ground, while Absol suddenly manifested Stone Edges around it, deflecting the incoming water arrows.

At the sa ti, a blue light flashed in Absol's eyes, and an invisible energy was emitted from the scythes on its head.

After the intense barrage of water arrow attacks, Garchomp erged from beneath Empoleon's feet. It raised its two claws and used the Brick Break move, aiming a head-on strike at Empoleon.

However, Empoleon had been on guard against Garchomp since it dove underground, and it wasn't about to let the sneak attack succeed. A blue column of water erupted from beneath its feet, instantly engulfing Garchomp.

This was the Water Pledge move.

Since Empoleon's Torrent ability had been triggered, all the moves it used were replaced with Water-type moves.

As Garchomp was hit by the Water Pledge from Empoleon, Absol's Dark Pulse was unleashed. However, it was blocked by a casual Water Pledge released by Empoleon.

But after the Water Pledge and Dark Pulse canceled each other out, two transparent and enormous light rings suddenly descended from above Empoleon's head and slamd down.

This was Absol's Future Sight.

Empoleon had absolutely no idea that such an attack was lurking, and it caught him off guard, causing him to be knocked down and emit a painful cry.

Absol's Future Sight was its hidden trump card, and its power was formidable.

Absol wasn't originally proficient in special attacks, and in most cases, Future Sight might not be considered a perfect fit. However, Yuga's Absol was different.

Future Sight was an innate talent it possessed, and Yuga had never overlooked the developnt of this skill. Therefore, Absol's use of this move dealt a severe blow to Empoleon.

anwhile, Garchomp, who was right next to Empoleon, saw an opportunity. It rapidly waved its twin claws, dispersing the water columns surrounding itself, and then used Dragon Rush to charge fiercely at Empoleon.

Empoleon, who hadn't even managed to get up from the ground, was lifted by the trendous impact of Dragon Rush and slamd into the protective barrier ford not far away.

Garchomp went all out with this Dragon Rush, making it its final attack. The transparent barrier flickered incessantly under the intense impact, with ripples of energy spreading across it, as if it might shatter at any mont.

Fortunately, Garchomp's all-out strike did not go in vain. Empoleon's strength was already depleted, and it had just endured consecutive attacks from Future Sight and Dragon Rush. Its head tilted, and it fell unconscious.

However, both Garchomp and Absol were also heavily injured. The mont Empoleon fell, Garchomp couldn't maintain its balance and knelt down directly, while Absol swayed unsteadily, almost unable to hold on.

Victory was achieved!

Yuga and Cynthia exchanged a smile.

"That's great, Cynthia succeeded!" Yuga exclaid.

Outside the protective barrier, Elder Damu looked excited and walked to the edge of the battlefield, eager to remove the protective barrier.

Elder Sorin wore a satisfied smile, though he didn't say anything; he was clearly pleased with Cynthia and Garchomp's performance.

As the protective barrier was removed, Elder Damu hurried over to thank Cynthia, while the other elders quickly released Pokémon with healing moves to tend to the incapacitated Empoleon.

The day after Cynthia had captured Piplup, Yuga bid farewell to the temple and prepared to leave the Sinnoh region.

Due to the special circumstances within the temple, Cynthia couldn't leave at that mont. Instead, her steward, Jamil, would accompany Yuga outside the temple.

The departure route was the sa as the one they had taken when arriving in the Sinnoh region. Jamil would escort Yuga to the Celestic Town, and from there, Yuga would continue on her own.

Yesterday, Yuga had received a call from Mr. Drake, who inford him that their business in the Sinnoh region was done, and they were preparing to leave. He asked if Yuga wanted to join them.

Their ship had been damaged, and repairing it would take ti, so this ti, they had chartered a plane for their return journey.

It was safe to say that Mr. Drake was wealthy.

However, from their conversation last night, Yuga unexpectedly learned that Mr. Drake had co to the Sinnoh region this ti because of the Hegel rcenary Corps.

The world was indeed small.

Originally, the Hegel rcenary Corps was an organization within the Sinnoh region, so it wasn't expected for Mr. Drake from Hoenn to get involved. However, another individual was linked to this situation – Hunter J.

If Mr. Drake didn't ntion this person, Yuga had almost forgotten about her.

This person had operated under the na Hunter J since fleeing from Hoenn to the Sinnoh region. She had also joined the notorious Hegel rcenary Corps and reportedly earned the favor of the corps' leader, Bilis.

The apprehension of this individual had always been Mr. Drake's responsibility. So, this ti, Mr. Drake and the Sinnoh region's authorities were collaborating to take action against the Hegel rcenary Corps.

But things didn't go smoothly.

It seed that there was a major problem within the Hegel rcenary Corps, as everyone had gone into hiding on short notice. Mr. Drake and his team managed to capture a few small-fry mbers but didn't achieve significant results.

As for the major problem within the Hegel rcenary Corps that Mr. Drake ntioned, Yuga could make a simple guess.

Their leader and most of the elite forces had perished in the Snow Peak of Mount Coronet. What remained were just so low-ranking mbers. In their weakened state, they had no choice but to conceal themselves to survive.

Acting high-profile without the strength to back it up would be tantamount to suicide.

Originally, small-ti individuals like Hunter J wouldn't be closely monitored by soone as significant as Mr. Drake.

However, the incident involving the Salece attacking the train had caused significant casualties. Both the Hoenn League and its people were highly concerned about it.

Furthermore, that Salece had beco one of Mr. Drake's Pokémon, and its child had been stolen by Hunter J. The Salece hoped that Mr. Drake would help them recover their offspring.

Mr. Drake couldn't refuse a request related to his Pokémon.

However, at this point, Yuga and Mr. Drake were still unaware that due to this incident, the Hegel rcenary Corps would evolve into the renowned Poacher Organization in the Sinnoh region in the future.

After Bilis's death on the Snow Peak of Mount Coronet, the Hegel rcenary Corps was left leaderless. Hunter J seized the opportunity to take control of the rcenary group and resud her father's old bussiness – Poaching Pokémon.

Of course, that's a story for another ti. At this mont, Yuga was sitting in Jamil's vehicle, heading to Celestic Town. As he watched the rapidly passing scenery outside the window, Yuga found himself lost in thought.
