Pokémon: Going Against the Current

I don’t have your VIP card, but I do have this. Can I get a discount on this? "

Mu Yang took out a card from his body and handed it to the waiter. As for this card, of course it was the Alliance Level trainer card that Gu Liuli gave Mu Yang.

This card allows Mu Yang to enjoy a % discount at the Pokémon Center, but the Pokémon Center is officially designated by the alliance, but the training ground is not, so Mu Yang doesn’t know if he can get a discount, but many of these training grounds actually have it. The alliance's participation, especially the training ground named after a city, is basically half of the alliance's enterprises.

"This is the alliance's second-level member card!!"

The waiter was shocked when he saw the card in Mu Yang's hand. The alliance said to Mu Yang, "As the alliance's second-level trainer, we can give you a % discount. What do you think?"

It's really possible! !

Mu Yang took the card handed over by the other party and felt a little surprised when he looked at the card in his hand.

"Yeah~ OK."

Mu Yang nodded and quickly paid.

After a % discount on the price of five thousand, you only have to pay more than three thousand. This price suddenly becomes affordable, but Mu Yang also knows that only semi-alliance companies like the Huaye Training Ground have such discounts. , it would be different if we moved to another training ground.

Although the alliance's identity is recognized everywhere, recognizing your identity and giving you a discount are two different things. Even if you are a high-level trainer in the alliance, so what? Why would someone give you a discount for no reason?

After paying the bill, Mu Yang picked up his backpack and prepared to leave. Naturally, his target was the Pokémon Center... restaurant. After a day of training, both he and his elves were a little hungry.

But as soon as Mu Yang took a few steps, a training ground staff member holding a stack of thick posters came towards him. Mu Yang glanced at the poster, and then Mu Yang stopped. What he saw on the poster just now caused him to piqued his interest.

At this moment, a middle-aged man happened to come out with a young man and woman. Although they seemed to be talking and laughing about the same thing, Mu Yang could still vaguely feel that the middle-aged man was a little a little embarrassed when facing the young man and woman. of respect. But these are not the point. The point is that the young man and woman Mu Yang just met at the entrance of Huaye Store this morning.

The staff at the training ground felt happy after seeing the middle-aged man and hurried forward. However, after seeing the young men and women, they became hesitant to move forward. They didn't know whether they should go forward to find the middle-aged man. man.

After hesitating for a while, he thought about the little time he had left, gritted his teeth and stepped forward.

"Manager Xu, here are the arrangements and posters for this competition. Please check if there are any problems."

The staff member walked up to the middle-aged man and said to the middle-aged man with some anxiety.

Hearing the staff's words, Manager Xu frowned. Who is so ignorant? Didn't you see that he was accompanying these two young masters and ladies?

"I'm so sorry, I have something to take care of first."

Manager Xu said apologetically to the young man and woman in front of him.

"Uncle Xu, please do your work first. You have led us for so long, and then we can go on our own."

The young man among the two smiled and shook his head, indicating that Manager Xu was getting down to business. Then they led the girl straight towards their next target. As for the girl next to him, she didn't have any objection when she saw the man, so she naturally followed him indifferently.

After the young man and woman left, Manager Xu said to the training ground staff member with some dissatisfaction: "Why don't you bring it over quickly and take a look!"

"Yes, Manager Xu!"

The staff at the training ground handed the arrangement and poster to Manager Xu. Looking at Manager Xu's expression, the staff felt a little uneasy.

If possible, he wouldn't want to disturb the other party, but there is no other way. Compared to Manager Ye, who has a hot temper and often takes out his anger on lower-level employees, Manager Xu, who has a gentler personality, is obviously much easier to talk to. Comparing two evils, he can only choose the lesser one. This may be the helplessness of the weak. No matter who he is, he can't afford to offend.

……

Hey, this is not the one I met in front of the store today...

After bidding farewell to Manager Xu, the man immediately noticed Mu Yang not far away, and couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

"Brother, that's not the one I met in front of the store this morning..."

At this time, the girl next to him suddenly said to him in surprise.

"Meeting is fate, Qiu Meng, let's go up and meet this friend."

After thinking for a moment, the man smiled and led the girl towards Mu Yang's direction.

……

"White Cloud Club Competition? It seems interesting."

As Mu Yang walked, he thought about what he saw from the poster. He was obviously a little moved. Although he didn't know the level, it should give Meihua and Ibrahimovic a good workout.

"Hello, we meet again."

At this time, a voice interrupted Mu Yang's thoughts, and then Mu Yang noticed that the young man and woman had arrived in front of him at some point.

"Hello, who are you two?"

Mu Yang asked the young man and woman in front of him with some confusion.

Although he didn't know why the other party was looking for him, since the other party had no ill intentions, Mu Yang naturally couldn't refuse him thousands of miles away.

"I'm Xu Leiyang, this is my roommate Xu Qiumeng."

Xu Leiyang explained to Mu Yang. "Oh, it turns out they are the Xu family brothers and sisters. I'm Mu Yang, I wonder what you two want from me?"

Seeing that the other party had already reported his name, although he was a little confused as to why the other party was looking for him, Mu Yang still replied quickly.

"It turns out it's Brother Mu. There's nothing special. It's just the second time I've seen Brother Mu today. I feel like we're very destined, so I came here to make friends."

"I see."

After hearing Xu Leiyang's words, Mu Yang nodded.

"I saw that Brother Mu seemed a little distracted just now. I don't know what Brother Mu was thinking. If Mu Yang is troubled, maybe I can help Brother Mu solve it."

"It's not an important matter." After hearing Xu Leiyang's words, Mu Yang shook his head, pointed at the staff member next to Manager Xu and said, "Just now I saw that the poster in the hand of the employee seemed to be It says the White Cloud Club Competition, I want to confirm it, and if it’s suitable, I might participate.”

"White Cloud Club Competition? It sounds interesting."

After Mu Yang finished speaking, Xu Leiyang pondered for a moment, and then said to Mu Yang with a smile.

"Competition? What level?"

Hearing the word competition, the eyes of Xu Qiumeng, the sister next to Xu Leiyang, suddenly lit up.
