<h4>Chapter 173: Conditions</h4>


    As Yuga descended the stairs, he noticed four individuals sitting in the shop, wearing serious expressions that were somewhat intimidating.


    "Hello there."


    Yuga approached the four people, offering a greeting.


    Seeing Yuga arrive, Reika asked, "You''re the owner of YoYo Day Care?"


    Yuga smiled and replied, "Yes, that''s me. Since you wanted to see me, I assume you''ve done some research about me. So, what brings you here?"


    Yuga was straightforward, skipping the pleasantries and directly asking about the purpose of Reika''s group''s visit.


    "We''d like to discuss a business deal with Mr. Yuga." Unsurprised by Yuga''s directness, Reika stated the reason for their visit upfront.


    Hearing Reika''s words, Yuga''s interest was piqued a little. He smiled and asked, "A business deal? I wonder what Aroma Day Care wants to discuss with our rtively inconspicuous little shop."


    "We''ve used your product called ''Vitality,'' a grass-type Pokéblock, and we''re quite interested in it." Reika''s response was as candid as Yuga''s earlier questions.


    "You''re interested in the form for Vitality?" That''s when Yuga realized the purpose of their visit.


    "Yes, and we''re open to your terms."


    Reika was a woman of few words, speaking directly and confidently.


    However, unfortunately, Yuga wasn''t inclined to sell the form for Vitality.


    "I''m sorry, but I can''t sell you the form for Vitality."


    Reika didn''t expect Yuga''s refusal to be so straightforward, without a hint of hesitation. Aroma Day Care hade with genuine intentions, letting Yuga dictate the terms of the transaction, but he still declined.


    "Why? We''re very sincere about this." Reika inquired.


    Yuga smiled and exined, "As you can see, YoYo Day Care is just a small shop, and surviving as such is quite challenging. If we were to sell our onlypetitive advantage, how would we continue to sustain ourselves?"


    Yuga''s reasoning was sound, but it was mostly an excuse; he simply didn''t want the form for Vitality to be spread around.


    Hearing Yuga''s exnation, Reika fell into contemtion. She found his reasoning logical. With years in this industry, she had witnessed many small Day Cares like YoYo Day Care close down due tock ofpetitive edge.


    After some thought, Reika came up with apromise. She said, "We hope that YoYo Day Care can provide exclusive ess to Vitality for Aroma Day Care."


    "Are you suggesting that you want to purchase all our Vitality products?" Yuga was surprised by the proposal.


    Reika nodded and exined, "Yes, that''s right. This way, you can continue to earn from Vitality, and we can secure the Pokéblocks we need. It''s a win-win situation. We''ll buy as many as you can produce."


    Being one of thergest establishments for cultivating grass-type Pokémon, Aroma Day Care could easily buy out all the Vitality they needed. Reika was confident in this arrangement.


    Yuga pondered for a moment and saw the potential in this deal. Selling to anyone was still selling, right? Selling directly to Aroma Day Care would save him the hassle of marketing and finding customers.


    Although he had already decided internally, Yuga spoke with a hint of reluctance, "We do have some loyal customers. If we sell exclusively to you..."


    Before Yuga could finish his sentence, Reika interrupted, "What other conditions do you have?" She stared at Yuga, her gaze implying she had already figured him out.


    Feeling a bit embarrassed by her insight, Yuga exined, "Well, here''s the thing. The League recently provided me with a batch of breeding Pokémon, but they''re all female. So, I was wondering if you could...Rest assured, I don''t need many. Just ten, and I''ll pay you the market price for them."


    Upon hearing this, Reika thought he could work with this offer. Feeling there was a chance, he replied, "I can''t make the final decision myself. I need to consult with others."


    Seeing the potential for an agreement, Yuga quickly added, "Feel free to do so, please."


    About half an hourter, Reika hung up a call and approached Yuga. "We ept your conditions, but we''d like to choose the specific species of Pokémon."


    Upon realizing that his goal was within reach, Yuga smiled and responded, "Naturally."


    Then, Yuga discussed the details of the supply agreement with them, and ultimately, they signed a contract. The agreement stipted that for the specified time, YoYo Day Care would exclusively sell Vitality Pokéblocks to Aroma Day Care.


    To avoid being too passive, Yuga suggested an annual contract renewal. If a year passed without renewal, the previous agreement would be null and void. Reika agreed to these terms, marking Yuga''s advantageous position in this transaction.


    After the agreement was finalized, Reika extended her right hand with a friendly smile. "A pleasure doing business with you."


    Yuga shook her hand, returning the smile. "Likewise."


    After neatly storing the signed contract and handing it to his subordinate behind him, Reika turned to Yuga and said, "Let''s head to the Pokémon Center. The headquarters will send over the Pokémon you need."


    "Sure, let''s go."


    Yuga was bing quite eager.


    At the Pokémon Center, Yuga apanied Reika as she received the Poké Balls sent by Aroma Day Care''s headquarters. Once he was handed the Poké Balls, Reika left with her three subordinates.


    Yuga had initially thought about treating them to a meal after such a substantial deal, but Reika declined, citing othermitments.


    Yuga thought, "If they don''t want to go, they don''t have to. I''m just as happy without it."


    Afterward, he joyfully returned home with the Poké Balls. Yuga was almost impatient to see what kind of Pokémon Aroma Day Care had sent him.


    For these ten Pokémon, Aroma Day Care had asked for a total of 6 million Pokédors. Yuga had practically emptied his coffers; the money he had earned from selling Pokémon and Pokéblocks during this period had all been spent.


    This private transaction between Yuga and Aroma Day Care was somewhat illegal, considering that the sale of fully evolved Pokémon was prohibited.


    However, considering the context, the price wasn''t too steep. Young Pokémon with a green potential rating could already fetch between 300,000 to 600,000 Pokédors. These were fully evolved Pokémon, and the cost of breeding factored in. With all things considered, 6 million wasn''t exorbitant.


    From this, it could be seen that the Pokémon industry was indeed profitable. Selling just ten Pokémon could yield several million Pokédors, potentially propelling someone to the pinnacle of sess in a matter of minutes.


    This was especially true for fully evolved Pokémon, which came with a certain level ofbat capability as soon as they were acquired, and their prices were astronomical.


    Upon returning home, Yuga wasted no time and headed straight to the Ecopark to deliver the husbands for Tsareenas.
