Chapter 1323: Blackthorn City And Clair
Chapter 1323: Blackthorn City And ClairOn the way back, Yuga no longer collected herbs, so his pace was much faster. Additionally, he was much more familiar with the surrounding environment, allowing him to return to the Nido tribe's territory in just one day.
Before even entering the territory, Decidueye came swooping over from a distance. During Yuga's absence, it had waited at this spot every day, longing for his return—each day felt like three years apart.
Upon his return, Yuga went to meet with Joyin and the others to inquire about their progress in negotiating with the Nido tribe. However, Joyin and her team wore bitter expressions, explaining that the negotiations had made no progress at all, as neither side was willing to compromise.
After some thought, Yuga said to them, "Let me go talk to Nidoqueen." He then left the cave where Joyin and the others were staying.
Half an hour later, Yuga returned and informed Joyin and the group, "It's settled. Nidoqueen has agreed to trade the Revival Herbs with you. Go meet her again soon and finalize the deal."
Joyha was astonished and asked Yuga, "Really? How did you manage to persuade Nidoqueen?" Over the past few days, they had been going back and forth in verbal battles with the Nido tribe, and Nidoqueen had never budged. Yet Yuga resolved the issue as soon as he returned.
Yuga replied with a smile, "I told Nidoqueen that I would handle the transaction for Max Revive in the future, so she wouldn't have to trouble you anymore."
"You'll trade Max Revive with them? But you..." Joyin asked in confusion.
Yuga didn't hide his intentions and stated directly, "This island is rich in Pokémon resources, and I plan to develop it. I may visit this island frequently in the future."
"But this island is so far from the human world. Developing it would be incredibly difficult and not cost-effective at all," Joyin said, frowning, unable to understand why Yuga had chosen to develop this island.
The idea of developing unknown regions wasn't foreign to the Joy family. Their family had developed various locations across different regions, some used for growing medicinal herbs, others for secret re
Yuga shook his head, about to find a hotel to settle in, when suddenly the Ancestor Dragonite descended from the sky, landing right in front of him.
"Dragonite~!"
Yuga! It's really you!
The Ancestor Dragonite greeted Yuga with a wave, looking delighted. Yuga, however, felt a little guilty, worried that the Ancestor Dragonite might bring up the incident of him tattling about Yuga's actions in the past. But the Ancestor Dragonite seemed to have forgotten about it and maintained a friendly attitude toward Yuga.
"Hey, Old ancestor, we meet again!"
Yuga greeted the Ancestor Dragonite, and the two began to chat casually.
At this time, Clair also descended on her Dragonite, her cheeks still flushed from anger. She looked at the Ancestor Dragonite, who was talking to a stranger, feeling very puzzled because the Ancestor Dragonite rarely interacted with strangers.
"Hello, Gym Leader Clair."
Seeing Clair staring at him, Yuga had to take the initiative to greet her. It was only then that Clair suddenly recalled Yuga's identity.
"So it's Gym Leader Shimizu."
Although she had never met Yuga in person, she had seen his photos before. It just took her a moment to connect the dots.
"Is Gym Leader Shimizu also here to attend the exchange conference?" Clair asked.
Yuga nodded. "Yes, I ran into Lance earlier, and he told me about the conference."
Hearing this, Clair suddenly understood.
At this moment, the Ancestor Dragonite tugged at Clair and called out to her. Clair looked at Yuga helplessly and asked, "The Old Ancestor wants to invite Gym Leader Shimizu to our home as a guest."
While chatting with the Ancestor Dragonite earlier, Yuga had already mentioned that the Pokémon Center was full. He hadn't expected the Ancestor Dragonite to take the initiative to invite him to the Dragon Tamer Clan's home.
Could Clair actually understand the Ancestor Dragonite's language?
"Then I humbly accept the invitation."
Yuga didn't decline the Ancestor Dragonite's offer. Since he was here to attend the exchange conference hosted by the Dragon Tamer Clan, staying with them would indeed be more convenient.
On the way to Blackthorn Gym, Yuga learned through his conversation with Clair that she couldn't actually understand the Ancestor Dragonite's language. Her ability to interpret the Ancestor Dragonite's intent was merely due to the tacit understanding developed from living together with it since childhood.
