"Yes."
Unaware of the nurse's unusual behavior, Bai Ye nodded slightly, a hint of apology on his face.
Unlike your own private farm, the rooms at the Pokémon Center are public facilities, and you have to pay for any damage to public property.
After the shivering in the bathroom ended, Bai Ye looked at the bathroom door that had been blasted to dust by psychic powers and couldn't help but facepalm. Then, he caught Gardevoir, who was trying to escape by teleporting.
In addition to giving the perverted woman the necessary verbal instruction, he also took the opportunity, while waiting for his check-up, to take the initiative to apologize to the nurse.
"I'm very sorry, Miss Nurse Joy. Because I failed to keep an eye on my Pokémon, the bathroom door suffered serious damage. I will cover the related expenses."
“Oh, it’s okay, no need for compensation,” Joy Saori paused slightly before interrupting him with a light laugh.
"Pokémon Centers are meant to serve trainers and Pokémon, so it's perfectly normal for Pokémon to occasionally misbehave and damage things here."
She looked at Bai Ye, who seemed slightly surprised, and still showed her signature gentle smile, her eyes crinkling.
This statement is half true and half false.
The Pokémon Center's mission is to serve trainers and Pokémon, which is true, but in reality, damage to public property does require compensation. However, everything is ultimately decided by Nurse Joy and Saori.
"It's a bit hard to imagine that Mr. Baiye also has unruly Pokémon."
Joy Saori covered her mouth, the moisture in the corner of her eyes making her gaze even brighter, and teased her with a half-smile.
This usually only happens to some new trainers.
After all, most Pokémon are creatures that admire strength.
If the trainer's personal charisma or command ability is not up to par, they are very likely to be mischievous and naughty in daily life, unwilling to obey orders in battle, and may even eventually abandon the trainer.
The reports from various research institutes highlight this most with Snivy from the Unova region and Froakie from the Carlos region.
Of course, in Nurse Joy's eyes, Byakuya is definitely not the kind of rookie trainer who is not recognized by Pokémon—after all, to be followed by a legendary Pokémon, one must have personal charm or command ability that far surpasses that of ordinary people.
There is only one possibility for this situation to occur.
"Well, because the trainer is focused on work and doesn't pay attention to him, he's getting upset and causing trouble everywhere, trying to get the trainer's attention by destroying things... He's quite a cute little guy."
Before Bai Ye could reply, the nurse's eyes lit up, and she quickly figured out the reason.
If it's not a matter of the trainer's incompetence, then it can only be a problem with the Pokémon's nature.
Joey Saori subconsciously turned her gaze to the black-haired youth in front of her, her eyes sparkling with a strange light.
Imagine that Mr. White Night, who is usually calm and collected in battles and always has a nonchalant expression, is busy with his work and has not been able to pay attention to that clingy Pokémon. It then puffs up its cheeks in dissatisfaction and uses a move to break down the door to get his attention.
Just as Mr. Baiye was about to give a serious reprimand, the playful and clingy little guy would raise his big, watery eyes in grievance, making him sigh helplessly. In the end, he could only pat its head affectionately and have it apologize to him alone.
Mr. Baiye, you're so adorably contrasting!!!

At this moment, Bai Ye vaguely heard Joy Saori's increasingly enthusiastic whispered imaginary thoughts, and he subconsciously twitched the corner of his mouth.
His perfect image as a former wife was completely shattered in front of this nurse, and there was no way he could refute it.
It's not like Gardevoir, just to be with its trainer, would just unleash a [Psychic] attack like Misaka Mikoto from the anime "Railgun" and blow up the bathroom door, right?
In the end, Bai Ye simply chose to give up.
"Yes, that child is indeed a bit clingy."
This brief misunderstanding made the atmosphere in the examination room much more relaxed and subtle.
Joey Saori, who had previously held a sense of awe towards Byakuya, completely relaxed, a slight smile curving her lips without her even realizing it.
The contrast imagined did not diminish Bai Ye's perfect image in the nurse's mind; on the contrary, it added a touch of more real warmth.
[It's really fascinating~]
Before long, the glass cover of the inspection chamber finally opened slowly.
"All the data shows that Mr. White Night's Growlithe is in excellent health!"
Gathering her hair to hide her flushed ears, Joey Saori, back in work mode, glanced at the data on her computer and chuckled softly.
"Wang Wang~"
As the glass dome opened, Growlithe leaped out and rushed into Bai Ye's arms as if they hadn't seen each other for a long time. Its round eyes were watery, and it affectionately raised its head to rub against Bai Ye's chest, even licking it with its tongue.
"Okay, okay...it really itches!"
Bai Ye was caught off guard and stumbled back several steps before feeling a warm touch on her cheek.
After the birth check-up confirmed that there were no health problems, the breeding plan for this little guy also needed to be put on the agenda.
Strength, physical strength, speed, explosiveness, coordination
All of Growlithe's basic qualities need to be improved. In addition to daily exercise, you can also supplement it with milk from milk jugs and other food. With this two-pronged approach, it should be able to get through its puppyhood quickly.
Thinking of this, Bai Ye looked at the clingy Growlithe in his arms and couldn't help but feel helpless.
If this little guy grows up a bit more, or even evolves into Arcanine with a Fire Stone, and still can't shake the habit of pouncing on him whenever he sees him, then he probably won't just stumble back a few steps, but be overwhelmed by the sudden attack.
Seeing the intimate interaction between the person and the pet, Joy Saori, who had been silently watching from the side, pursed her lips and her eyes couldn't help but ripple with emotion.
If at first it was just her imagining a deep bond between White Night and the Pokémon, with one causing trouble and disrupting things to gain attention, and the other helplessly choosing to spoil it; then now, judging from Growlithe's behavior, as a Pokémon nurse, she can clearly sense...
Growlithe is quite fond of and dependent on White Night.
Joy Saori couldn't help but sigh softly.
"Mr. Baiye seems to have a really good relationship with Pokémon."
"of course."
Bai Ye nodded in agreement and shared his thoughts on Pokémon relationships, "After all, Pokémon aren't just tools for trainers, but partners they spend every day with, even family, right?"
“Family” Joy Saori paused for a moment, then nodded in agreement, “Yes, that’s right.”
Having encountered all sorts of trainers and Pokémon, Nurse Joy undoubtedly felt deeply moved by White Night's words.
Pokémon are not only creatures with special abilities, but also creatures that will easily lay their hearts bare for you to see.
Even when faced with an invincible foe, or in an extremely dangerous situation, they will still choose to stand up without hesitation for the trainers they admire.
Therefore, how can a qualified trainer not treat their trainer as a partner or even family member?
The nurse, Xiao Yi, looked at Bai Ye with a glimmer of light in her eyes, and this brilliance was much brighter than before.
Hmm, let's start implementing the plan of making it a fait accompli tonight.
Unable to contain her fluttering heart, Joy Saori was already eager to put her plan into action.
Chapter 217 Trust - Admiration?
As per Bai Ye's original plan, after completing the examination, he naturally returned directly to his room to rest.
However, just as he was about to pick up the Growlithe to say goodbye, the nurse, who had been smiling all along, turned her head slightly and whispered something before he could speak.
"Mr. Bai Ye, please wait a moment." Joy Saori placed her soft, fair hands on her lower abdomen, her tone sincere. "May I, on behalf of the Joy family, extend an invitation for cooperation?"
"cooperate?"
Bai Ye was slightly taken aback, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
The only collaboration I can currently establish with this nurse is the sale of specialty foods produced on the farm.
To be honest, he had thought about it before.
After all, like the Officer Jenny family, which controls most of the police force, the Nurse Joy family also has a considerable influence in the Pokémon world—most towns with a population have Pokémon Centers.
The Pokémon Center is a place that every trainer will likely be familiar with.
However, if a deeper partnership were established with the Nurse Joy family, and the farm's specialty products were placed in Pokémon Centers with a large influx of Trainers, it would likely generate significantly more revenue than it does now.
However, Bai Ye hesitated to propose a collaboration until the very end, unsure of how to broach the subject and whether the Joey family harbored any reservations about such commercialization.
But unexpectedly, the other party would bring it up on their own initiative!
"Yes, it's about cooperation."
Faced with Bai Ye's surprised expression, Qiao Yi Sazhi simply nodded slightly, her fingertips gently smoothing the light pink pleats of her nurse's uniform collar. Her eyes naturally curved into two crescent moons, and even her eyelashes were filled with a gentle smile from beginning to end.
"If I remember correctly, Mr. Shirayuki runs a farm in Hiyori Town and has also set up a company to process and sell Pokémon food with special effects, right?"
After realizing that she had developed a strong interest in the black-haired youth, Joy Saori used her family connections to investigate him.
Whether it was inheriting the farm left by her ancestors in Hiyori Town, hiring that woman named Olive to manage Hiyori Industrial Company in Yosuga City, or the effectiveness of those Pokémon-themed food promotions, she understood it all perfectly well at this moment.
"If Mr. Baiye agrees, the Nurse Joy family can open special counters at Pokémon Centers in various locations, providing Trainers along the way with all kinds of Pokémon food produced by your family."
“I’m definitely fine with it,” Bai Ye said cautiously. “But I’m a little curious. I’ve never heard of the Joey family ever having any business dealings with outsiders before. Why did they choose me?”
outsider?
If it weren't for the hesitation and indecisiveness of some elders, we would have become a family long ago!
Joey Saori pursed her lips in dissatisfaction, but her face showed no sign of it.
"It needs to be corrected that the Joey family is not actually opposed to business cooperation."
She gazed at Bai Ye and said solemnly.
"The guiding principle of every member of the Nurse Joy family is to heal injured Pokémon and help trainers better raise their Pokémon."
Based on this ideal, in addition to opening Pokémon Centers in various locations to provide free treatment and accommodation for Pokémon Trainers registered with the League, the family has also invested in several large pharmaceutical companies.
"The reason why the prices of medicines such as wound medicines and antidotes sold in major Pokémon stores are getting lower and lower is inseparable from the support and help of the Nurse Joy family. Setting up special counters in Pokémon Centers to sell Pokémon food with special effects does not violate the Nurse Joy family's philosophy."
At this point, the nurse also openly admitted that she had investigated Bai Ye's affairs.
"As far as I know, Mr. Baiye has previously collaborated with Gym Leader Xiaosong of Snowpeak City, right? Many Trainers who have traveled here seem to rave about the MooMoo Milk sold locally. If it could be promoted to various League regions, it would be an excellent thing."
"Of course, it's not just MooMoo Milk, which is of superior quality to those on the market, but also other Pokémon foods with special effects recently produced by Mr. White Night's company, which should be promoted as well."
""
Bai Ye stroked his chin, lost in thought.
Putting aside the fact that the nurse had secretly tricked him, the reasons and motives he heard so far were perfectly reasonable and flawless. They even gave him a sense of déjà vu, like that of a responsible and selfless revolutionary from his past life.
No wonder the Officer Jenny and Nurse Joy families, who almost monopolize the police and medical fields, have an excellent reputation among trainers.
Imagine, what normal trainer would feel disgusted by Officer Jenny, whose dream is to punish evil and maintain peace, and Nurse Joy, who is dedicated to healing injured Pokémon and making every Pokémon healthier?
Oops—this is a complete rejection! It seems I can't possibly accept this nurse's invitation to cooperate!
Seeing that Bai Ye did not object, Qiao Yi Sazhi naturally took over the topic and continued talking.
"Then it's settled. I'll report this to the family later, and it's expected to be officially implemented in the next few days. I'd also appreciate it if Mr. Baiye could inform your staff in advance so we can coordinate."
"Huh? Wait, does this mean we've reached a cooperation agreement?"
Bai Ye turned his head and looked at her with a puzzled expression.
"Shouldn't we double-check whether the product is up to standard and meets the Joey family's requirements?"
It wasn't that he was being hypocritical after getting a good deal, asking questions at an inopportune time when he had easily gained the support of the Joey family. Rather, it was because Joey Saori reached the cooperation agreement so quickly that he almost didn't have time to react, giving him an unreal, dreamlike feeling.
After all, both Cynthia and Xiaosong had previously checked whether their products truly met the standards.
—The former took on the task of obtaining the sales license after tasting MooMoo Milk and ensuring that the quality was as good as it claimed, while the latter agreed to sign the cooperation agreement after comparing several options and even having a Pokémon battle.
This nurse has neither the senior sisterly affection of Cynthia nor the additional battle requirements of Xiaosong. She trusts me without any suspicion after only meeting me a few times. Isn't she afraid that I might produce some inferior Pokémon food and ruin the reputation of the Nurse Joy family?
Upon hearing his question, Joy Saori simply raised the corners of her lips, revealing a faint smile.
"Well... if you really insist, a check-up isn't out of the question, but I'm not worried about it."
"After all, I trust you, Mr. Baiye."
"A trainer who can say that Pokémon are partners they spend every day with, or even family members, would never do anything to harm Pokémon, right?"
She spoke softly, leaning forward slightly, tilting her face up, and her beautiful, watery blue eyes gazed at her.
My intuition also tells me...
“Mr. Bai Ye is worthy of my trust and the trust of the entire Joey family.”
At this moment, Bai Ye's eyes reflected her gentle face.
The smile hidden in her delicate eyebrows remained unchanged.
