<h4>Chapter 780: Pearls</h4>


    After leaving the Mine Sub-Ecopark, Yuga took the opportunity to visit the Chansey.


    The Chansey are now living together with the Miltank. During this time, the Miltank have been sharing their knowledge of the familiar ecosystem of the Ecopark and the Pokémon that live here with the Chansey, while the Chansey are teaching the Miltank more knowledge.


    With both practical experience and theoretical knowledge, theyplemented each other perfectly.


    When Yuga arrived at the Flower Sea Sub-Ecopark, Chansey was busy treating a wound on Purrloin''s hand.


    Purrloin had sustained the injury while patrolling, engaging in a skirmish with neighboring Pokémon. It was minor, and Chansey handled it easily.


    In the presence of Chansey, even the mischievous Purrloin behaved obediently, putting aside its usual yful antics.


    After the treatment, Chansey gently rubbed Purrloin''s head, and Purrloin, feeling a bit uneasy, turned its head away, looking somewhat shy.


    Purrloin''s younger sister, Zorua, watched with concern as Chansey helped her sister with the wound. When she learned that her sister''s injury wasn''t severe, she looked at Chansey with gratitude.


    Compared to the mischievous Purrloin, Zorua was livelier and more well-behaved.


    However, since Purrloin and their father, Liepard, had taken on patrol duties, Purrloin had be more responsible and mature, which pleased Yuga.


    It indicated that Purrloin truly considered itself part of the Day Care and was taking practical steps to protect it.


    As Purrloin was about to say something to Chansey, it saw Yuga approaching and quickly whisked Zorua away, afraid of Yuga witnessing its embarrassment.


    "Chansey! Chansey!"


    Seeing Yuga approaching, Chansey happily waved to him.


    Mei Mei was the leader among the six Chansey and the most powerful among them. Besides being slightly weaker than Yuga''s Audino, her abilities as a Pokémon assistant were superior to Audino.


    The Chansey selected for Yuga by the Joy family were not chosen randomly. Among the Pokémon assistants that graduated in their batch, Mei Mei was one of the top performers.


    Yuga asked, "Mei Mei, how have you all been here these days?"


    The other Chansey were out working with the Miltank, so only Mei Mei remained in the Flower Sea Sub-Ecopark.


    "Chansey! Chansey!"


    We''ve been doing great here! I really love it!


    Mei Mei had a round, chubby face that looked adorable, and Yuga couldn''t resist the urge to reach out and pinch her cheeks. However, he refrained, fearing it might startle the Chansey.


    In their current living conditions, all six Chansey were quite content. They weren''t the type of Pokémon to thrive in solitude; they preferred a lively group environment.


    Until they graduated from the Joy family''s Pokémon Nurse School, they had always lived in a group. Their trainingpanions included not only other Chansey but also Pokémon like Kirlia, Wigglytuff, and Clefable.


    Originally, they were supposed to be assigned to Nurse Joy as her assistants. However, since they hadn''t met their future partner in person yet, they were naturally anxious. The thought of being separated from theirpanions whom they would spend every day with made them even more uneasy.


    But the actual situation turned out to be much better than they had anticipated.


    Given to Yuga, they were ced together with sixpanions, which greatly alleviated their initial anxieties.


    "That''s good. If you need anything, just ask me." Yuga said with a smile.


    In faxt, At Yuga''s Ecopark, the assistant Pokémon had a substantial workload. Besides taking care of the daily needs of the Pokémon, they were responsible for treating injuries, as the Pokémon at the Ecopark underwent daily training and variousbat exercises, often resulting in injuries. That''s why Yuga felt he needed more Miltank.


    Yuga''s Miltank didn''t have excellent potential, and the healing move they knew only Milk Drink. But the healing effect of Milk Drink is not as good as Heal Pulse.


    Even the ones that could use Heal Bell were in the minority.


    Now, with six Chansey that could use Heal Pulse joining them, the workload for the Miltank had significantly lightened.


    Due to the substantial workload, Yuga was initially concerned about whether the Chansey would adapt to their new life. However, based on his current observations, the Chansey were doing quite well.


    While Yuga was discussing their life in the Ecopark with Mei Mei, the leader of the Miltank herd returned with Yuan Yuan, Qiu Qiu, Tuan Tuan, Ai Ai, and Pang Pang.


    Currently, the Chansey'' internship work was mainly led by the Miltank leader, and the interaction between the Chansey and Miltank had been harmonious.


    After chatting with the Chansey for a while, Yuga headed to the Shallow Sea Sub-Ecopark with the purpose of checking on the mperl living there.


    The mperl had made their habitat on a coral reef north of the central ind of Lake 1. They lived a rxed life, spending their days either soaking in the sea or basking in the sun on the coral reef.


    This group of mperl had been at the Ecopark for quite some time and had produced many pearls intermittently.


    At first, they were somewhat unstable in their pearl production, possibly due to adjusting to the new environment and mood swings.


    As time passed, Yuga had taken good care of them, and their deep blue shells shone brilliantly. The pale blue flesh inside the shells was clear and translucent, while their pink bodies were plump and gleaming.


    Recently, the mperl''s pearl production had be stable.


    Yuga had already reached an agreement with a pharmaceuticalpany. The pearls produced by his mperl would be sold to them as materials for making medicines.


    The pearls produced by mperl were precious pharmaceutical materials. Depending on the prescription, the medicines made from these pearls were suitable for Water-type Pokémon and Psychic-type Pokémon, greatly assisting in their growth.


    Yuga had also ordered a batch of such medicines from this pharmaceuticalpany, which he mixed into the Pokéblocks of Psychic-type and Water-type Pokémon in the Ecopark for them to consume.


    This pharmaceuticalpany was introduced to Yuga by Joyka. It was a reputable andrgepany and one of Joy''s family''s partners in the pharmaceutical business.


    Yuga''s pearls were of high quality, and with the Joy family''s guarantee, it was easy to reach a supply agreement with the pharmaceuticalpany.


    The fact that mperl was chosen as the signature Pokémon of Truly Adorable Day Care was not without reason—it was precisely due to the high quality pearls they produced.


    In reality, many Day Cares had coborations with variouspanies, including pharmaceuticalpanies, jewelrypanies, and itempanies.


    The production of Pokémon varied greatly, with valuable materials like Dustox''s powder, Vileplume''s saliva, Lilligant''s fragrance, and Arbok''s venom, among others.


    Day Cares housed arge number of Pokémon, leading to substantial material production. Since the Day Cares couldn''t utilize these materials themselves, they formed supply agreements with otherpanies, creating a mutually beneficial situation.


    Currently, the mperl, along with the Huntail and Gorebyss, had bred several more mperl. Yuga''s mperl poption had grown to a considerable size.


    Yuga didn''t intend to sell mperl; he wanted to keep them solely for pearl production. The value of the pearls produced by mperl was high, and there was no need to consider selling mperl for profit.


    When Yuga arrived at the mperl''s habitat, they were all on the coral reef, with their shells wide open, basking in the sun with their eyes closed. Several Huntail and Gorebyss were swimming in the water nearby.


    These Huntail and Gorebyss were the ones Yuga had when he took over the mperl habitat initially. He hadn''t acquired any new Huntail or Gorebyss since then.


    To be precise, Yuga didn''t n to let his mperl evolve into Huntail or Gorebyss because once mperl evolved, they would lose their ability to produce pearls, which was highly unprofitable.


    mperl could still reproduce without evolving into Huntail or Gorebyss, while evolving would result in losing the pearl production ability, which Yuga wouldn''t consider doing.


    He also didn''t intend to sell his mperl.


    In addition, evolving mperl into Huntail and Gorebyss requires Deep Sea Tooth and Deep Sea Scale, which can be quite expensive and doesn''t seem cost-effective.


    Yuga''s arrival caught the attention of Huntail and Gorebyss in the water, causing them to poke their heads out and softly call out to Yuga.


    The mperl basking in the sun were awakened by the cries of Huntail and Gorebyss, and they opened their eyes simultaneously.


    Also among those who opened their eyes were the two Cloyster mixed in with the mperl.


    These two Cloyster must have been quite lonely, considering mperl as their own kin, even though they are both shellfish-like Pokémon, their species is entirely different.


    The Egg Group of Cloyster is "Water 3," and the Egg Group of mperl is "Water 1." They don''t even have a chance to breed together.


    However, the two Cloyster are willing to be with the mperl, and the mperl doesn''t reject the Cloyster, so Yuga just goes along with them.


    In addition to Cloyster, Slowbro and Slowking, which live in the center of the indke, sometimese to the coral reef here along the river and blend in with the groups of mperl, standing on the coral reef, facing the sea, and sunbathing with their eyes closed.


    Yuga suspected the reason for their behavior was that being with mperl, the pearls inside mperl''s bodies could aid them in meditation.


    However, the true reason was never revealed to him, and he didn''t inquire.


    Every time he saw Slowking, Yuga felt like he was looking at a magic stick and thought it was entric. On the other hand, when he saw Slowbro, he considered it rather dim-witted and impossible tomunicate with.


    Perhaps both of them considered a mortal humans like Yuga unworthy ofmunication.


    Anyway, these two were quite headache-inducing.


    However, when Yuga arrived today, he didn''t see either of them.
