I'm the Owner of the Pokémon Day Care In the World of Pokémon

Chapter 1345: Marshadow Is Trapped

Yuga really never expected that the reward that Politoed mentioned would be the corpse of a Parasect.

Thankfully, this was the Guli Mountain Range. If this had happened in a human city, Yuga would have been treated as a criminal for "harming Pokémon."

Of course, Yuga still had to accept the reward. The Parasect's corpse was valuable, especially since it was a Master-level Parasect.

The mushroom spores produced by Parasect are a rare material with many applications. Generally, the higher the strength of the Parasect, the better the quality of the spores it produces.

Yuga had never seen mushroom spores from a Master-level Parasect before!

This Parasect was so massive that it was hard to imagine how many mushroom spores it could yield.

When people harvest mushroom spores from a living Parasect, they usually consider the creature's health and control the amount harvested. But with this one already dead, Yuga could collect freely without any worries.

Apart from the spores, the mushrooms on Parasect's back were also highly valuable.

However, Parasect's consciousness is typically controlled by the mushrooms on its back. If the mushrooms are removed, the Parasect dies. This is why Parasect mushrooms are rarely seen on the market.

Though the mushrooms on this Parasect were severely damaged, its large size made it even rarer than an undamaged one.

Once the items were delivered, the other Pokémon left, and Yuga had to have his Dragonite and Dusknoir carry the Parasect's body back to his dwelling.

Despite the Parasect's enormous size, it surprisingly weighed very little, so Dragonite and Dusknoir had no trouble carrying it.

Back at his dwelling, Yuga began to process the massive Parasect.

He first used a knife to carefully cut the mushrooms off its back, piece by piece.

Once the mushrooms were removed, the lower part of the Parasect became useless, so Yuga instructed his Pokémon to bury it somewhere.

The mushrooms had been shattered during the battle by Swampert and Politoed, which meant that many of the spores inside were lost. However, the broken mushrooms actually made it easier for Yuga to handle, otherwise, the giant mushrooms would have required him to cut them up himself.

The mushrooms were so large that dividing them would have been inconvenient.

The mushrooms on Parasect's back had many small holes that were hard to notice. The spores grew inside these holes. During battle, these spores could even be used as an attack method.

The spores were incredibly small, like dust, and had a sleep-inducing effect, making them very difficult to collect. Yuga had to soak the mushrooms in water to float the spores into the water, and then dry the water to finally collect the spores.

This process was incredibly time-consuming.

Even though the Parasect was as large as a small mountain, the mushrooms Yuga ultimately harvested only filled a small bottle, less than 20 cm high with a diameter of about 10 cm.

Yuga also cut the mushrooms into equally-sized pieces, not even throwing away the damaged parts, as they were all precious materials.

A Master-level Parasect producing mushrooms like this is rare, and getting another one won't be easy.

After returning, Yuga could sell these mushrooms and spores to Joyka. They would definitely fetch a good price!

Joyka is good with medicine, so she would surely appreciate these spores and mushrooms.

While cutting the mushrooms, Yuga discovered something unusual inside—a green crystal the size of a fist.

The crystal was incredibly beautiful, crystal clear, like a perfect gem, emitting a remarkable wave of life energy.

Yuga had only ever seen something like this in the book in his master's study.

Much like Morelull, Parasect feeds off the life energy of trees in the forest. When powerful Parasect or Lampent absorb large amounts of life energy from trees, there is a very tiny chance that a life energy crystal like this will form inside their bodies.

The birth of such a crystal means that countless trees in the forest will lose their lives to fuel its creation.

After processing all the mushrooms, Yuga gazed obsessively at the gem, captivated by the unique charm of the light refracted from the green crystal.

At that moment, in Yuga's shadow space, Gengar and Mismagius silently emerged, equally mesmerized by the gem in Yuga's hand.

Seeing this, Yuga asked, "Do you want this?" and waved the green gem in his hand.

Gengar and Mismagius quickly nodded.

Yuga didn't find it strange. Ghost-type Pokémon are naturally drawn to life energy, which is perfectly normal.

"Then I'll give it to you," Yuga said, reluctantly handing over the gem to the two of them.

Although Yuga really liked the green gem, for him, it was just something to admire. If the gem could help Gengar and Mismagius grow stronger, that would be even better.

As Yuga's Pokémon team's strength steadily rose to the Champion level, Gengar and Mismagius, as his personal bodyguards, were slowly falling behind the main team.

However, this was the first time Yuga had seen such an energy crystal, and the book in his master's study didn't provide much detail on it. So, he wasn't sure if it would help Gengar and Mismagius.

But since they had actively wanted it, it meant the crystal must be useful to them. Pokémon have a keen instinct for things like this.

Speaking of which, trading a Max Revive for rare spores and mushrooms, plus this life energy crystal, was an incredible deal!

Gengar and Mismagius, thrilled, took the green gem from Yuga's hands, then swiftly dove back into the shadow space, eager to absorb the life energy from the crystal.

Once Yuga had finished tidying up the room, he suddenly heard a knock on the door. When he opened it, he saw it was the military doctor.

"Military doctor, what brings you here? Is there something you need?"

The military doctor awkwardly smiled and scratched his head. "I heard you got a Parasect's corpse?"

Upon hearing this, Yuga understood immediately. That was what the military doctor was here for!

"That's right. I'm not sure why you're here, though..." Yuga said.

The military doctor, still feeling a bit embarrassed, scratched his head again and said, "I was wondering if you could sell me some spores and mushrooms."

It turned out that the military doctor, aside from being a physician, also had a strong interest in pharmacy. When he heard that Yuga had acquired a Parasect's corpse, he couldn't wait to come over.

Such rare materials were highly coveted by any apothecary.

Normal Parasect spores and mushrooms weren't difficult for the military doctor to obtain, but clearly, what Yuga had was special.

"I see. No problem," Yuga replied cheerfully. Selling them to Joyka was the same as selling them to the military doctor—either way, he'd make a profit.

Besides, the military doctor held a high position in the Pioneer Corps, so selling him a favor would mean he could look out for Kazuma and Shin in the future for him.

It's not that simple; it's not easy to make a name for yourself in the military.

The two brothers aren't special talents like N. If Yuga doesn't offer more support as their backing, who knows when they'll make a breakthrough!

After inviting the military doctor into the room, the two quickly agreed on a price and completed the transaction.

However, Yuga didn't sell everything. He made sure to leave some for Joyka, after all, she had put in a lot of effort during Lain's development of the new incense. As their boss, Yuga felt he should show some symbolic gratitude.

After successfully acquiring the mushrooms and spores, the military doctor was thrilled and became much more talkative. After a few casual exchanges, he quickly became familiar with Yuga, even patting his chest and assuring him that if Yuga ever needed help in the future, he would definitely assist.

So Yuga subtly brought up Kazuma and Shin.

Because of the recent disappearance incident, the military doctor had heard of the two brothers and wasn't unfamiliar with them.

After chatting for a while, the military doctor suddenly asked, "Did Mr. Shimizu get the Max Revive for the Sceptile from the Joy family?"

Hearing this, Yuga was momentarily struck with a thought. He smiled and replied, "Yes, I have a good relationship with the Joy family."

This wasn't a secret to outsiders, especially since Yuga had business dealings with the Joy family.

Yuga didn't reveal that he had a Max Revive in his possession, as he wasn't planning to deal in that area. If the word got out, it would certainly cause some trouble, so it was better to keep it under wraps.

He decided to push it all onto the Joy family.

"Really?" The military doctor's eyes brightened upon hearing this, but then he hesitated and stammered, "Then... then..."

Yuga instantly understood what he meant—he wanted to buy a Max Revive!

The Joy family's Max Revive were scarce, and they were extremely expensive. Many people couldn't get their hands on them, including the military doctor.

Although the military doctor held a high position in the Pioneer Corps, he didn't have much money. He was someone who preferred to conduct his own research, so any money he had would go straight into his studies, leaving him with little savings.

"Are you looking for a Max Revive?" Yuga asked.

"That's right," the military doctor said, feeling a bit awkward. "But I don't have the money. However, I can offer something in exchange!"

Upon hearing this, Yuga felt intrigued, though he wasn't sure exactly what the military doctor meant. He simply replied, "I'll try to think of a solution for you."

The military doctor, hearing this, became very pleased. To Yuga, it seemed that the military doctor was a bit naive.

However, the military doctor quickly added, "If possible, I'd prefer to get Revival Herb rather than the Max Revive."

The military doctor, being a researcher, was more interested in experiencing the Revival Herb directly than dealing with the finished product like the Max Revive. He had never seen Revival Herb before.

"I see..." Yuga pretended to hesitate for a few seconds. "I'll see what I can do for you."

The military doctor was clearly very grateful for Yuga's offer and left soon after.

Days passed quickly, and both the human Pioneer Corps and the rulers of the Guli Mountains began to take swift action, attempting to locate Marshadow.

The Pioneer Corps was responsible for searching the outer and middle areas of the Guli Mountains, while the rulers took charge of the inner regions. In no time, the entire Guli Mountain range was filled with a tense atmosphere.

In Sceptile's territory...

After several days of being busy, Sceptile suddenly remembered that it hadn't seen its youngest son in quite a while. No wonder it had been feeling something was off these past few days.

Sceptile had many children, and they were all from different mothers.

As one of the rulers of the Guli Mountains, Sceptile had many mates, enjoying the benefits of multiple partners, and it had several children. Treckoo as the youngest, was also the one Sceptile loved most.

Sceptile summoned its subordinates and asked them where its youngest son had gone, but its subordinates exchanged confused glances and didn't know how to answer.

Treckoo was a mischievous one and often hid away without a trace. These past few days, they had been so busy that they nearly missed it, so naturally, they had forgotten about Treckoo.

Seeing its subordinates shaking their heads, Sceptile's expression darkened, and it roared angrily.

"Sceptile~"

Go find it for me, now! n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

The subordinates immediately panicked and ran off, starting to search for Treckoo throughout the territory.

But by then, they had no chance of finding Treckoo. It was currently in the Pioneer Corps's camp, happily training with Kazuma.

The training field in the Pioneer Corps camp was equipped with all kinds of training equipment and facilities. Treckoo, seeing Kazuma so engrossed in training, yelled that it wanted to try too, so Kazuma had no choice but to bring it along.

At the same time, after the capture of Houndoom and Arbok, Marshadow had planned to quietly leave the Guli Mountains, heading toward the Wilderness.

However, it didn't expect that Swampert and Swellow had already been waiting for it there.

Both Swampert and Swellow were very old Pokémon, their intelligence extraordinary. After days of investigation, they had found a pattern in Marshadow's movements, so they had set up an ambush in advance, and sure enough, they managed to catch Marshadow as soon as it arrived!

As soon as Marshadow appeared, it was immediately spotted by the keen Swampert and Swellow.

Marshadow was a little surprised to see Swellow and Swampert in front of it. It had underestimated the abilities and intelligence of these two powerful rulers.

The three Pokémon stood off for a few seconds before the battle erupted.

Having caused trouble in the Guli Mountains for so long, Swellow and Swampert certainly wouldn't let Marshadow leave easily.

Swampert charged forward, its massive fist shining with cold energy, ready to smash into Marshadow. Marshadow quickly used Shadow Punch to counter.

Boom~

The two fists collided, and both Pokémon were sent flying backward at high speed, neither one gaining the upper hand. The shockwaves from their punches made the surrounding trees rustle loudly.

At this moment, Swellow dove from the sky using its signature attack, Sky Attack, the immense force instantly knocking Marshadow away.

At the level 100 Pokémon, their battle power could rival that of Tier 2 Legendary Pokémon. Swellow and Swampert could hold their own against Marshadow, not to mention that they were teaming up!

However, Mythical Pokémon like Marshadow, besides their combat strength, often possessed a variety of strange and mystical abilities, and Marshadow was no exception.

In addition to controlling the mind, it could move freely in the shadows, earning it the title of the Shadow Stalker.

"Marshadow~"

Marshadow roared, and suddenly, many black shadows shot out from its body. The shadows on its head and neck, which resembled flames, turned from black to dark green, making it look even more eerie.

Countless shadows, like ghosts, darted through the air, constantly harassing Swellow and Swampert. They even launched attacks against them.

This was Marshadow's skill: Spectral Thief!
