Pokémon: The Climb

Busy days always pass quickly, and more than a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

For such a long time, the intimidation potion factory has naturally started production long ago.

It's just that it's not easy to quickly open the market. In addition to more conventional business methods, such as advertising, Yang Yan often goes to publicity in person.

For example, he borrowed Chiba's golden leaf battle hall to hold some related battle activities, and even brought Gyarados to compete with others.

Sometimes, he would also use the channel of the battle hall to play videos of himself fighting with Mahuola and Rogue Crocodile during the King Ranking Battle.

Yes, Yang Yan, who had originally planned to wait until the list for the ranking battle became clearer, never thought that due to his frequent appearances, some trainers ranked below him would come to him more and more.

There is no way to refuse the invitation to play in the Ranked Battle of Heavenly Kings, and it can be postponed at most. After all, you can't fight one battle after another. It is basically impossible for a King-level Pokémon to fully recover within a few days after a full battle.

When Yang Yan was busy promoting the intimidation potion, he felt that the King Ranking Competition was also a promotional channel, so basically as long as Pokémon could compete, he would accept any one who came, and even took the initiative to challenge Hoenn's ranking in the future. The trainer of the heavenly king above him.

It would be more efficient to keep Pokémon in seclusion than to mix in battles. This is a rule of thumb.

While improving your ranking, you can also improve your own reputation, and at the same time promote intimidation potions and train Pokémon, why not?

Various things have prevented Yang Yan from having time to go back to his father's gym for nearly a year, and he basically traveled around.

As always, busy.

Fortunately, it took a year for the promotion to finally bear fruit.

Not to mention other regions, at least the local trainers in Hoenn have heard of or personally used intimidation potions.

The effect of the medicine itself is worthy of belief, so as long as it is promoted, its reputation will gradually expand, and its sales will naturally open up.

After another three months of this, the stalls in the Fengyuan area, Yangyan, were finally basically laid out, and he no longer needed to run around and be busy.

The effectiveness of the intimidation potion also gradually brought real money.

However, Yang Yan was not in a hurry to expand the scale of production, but chose to use part of it to repay the loan, and use the remaining part to expand other industries, such as opening a new fairy breeding house.

The reason why Yang Yan chose to do this was that on the one hand he felt that the current production efficiency was sufficient, and on the other hand he needed more manpower.

Not an ordinary worker, but someone who has a certain knowledge of cultivators, and is at least an apprentice of a cultivator.

Intimidation potions are similar to energy cubes, so it's worth leaving some tasks to breeders.

Expanding the Fairy Breeding House is a way to recruit people.

He didn't have time to interview new people one by one, so he had to rely on the help of the old people in the goblin training room.

In addition, he plans to build a talent transfer channel from the breeding house to the factory in the future to ensure that the breeders who join the intimidation potion factory are trustworthy.

Of course, when Yang Yan's research institute is established, the manpower in the research institute will also be converted from the manpower in the incubation room.

It may be that the recent discussion about Yang Yan in the breeder circle has never stopped due to the threat of intimidation potions or other aspects, so when the Fairy Breeding House started to openly recruit people, there were still many people who applied.

Two months later, after replenishing manpower and accumulating some funds, Yang Yan finally started a new round of expansion.

As the reputation of the intimidation potion became more and more popular, the sales volume also increased. Later, dealers from other regions who smelled the smell also came to the door, causing Yang Yan to expand the production line in advance.

However, Yang Yan knew that taking too big a step could easily lead to trouble, so in the end he only temporarily finalized a cooperation agreement with the dealer in Kanto.

First of all, as the "big brother" of each region, Kanto will definitely have better promotion results than from other regions.

In addition, Kanto has relatively many types of Pokémon with intimidating characteristics, and has a large enough market.

Although the intimidation potion is a monopoly product, Yang Yan never thought of eating it alone, because doing so would be too easy to be targeted.

Distributing a portion of profits to others and turning possible enemies into partners is the way to do business in the long term.

Of course, the production of pharmaceuticals must still be firmly in your own hands and must not be left to the hands of others. This is also a means of business survival that needs to be kept in mind.

So, another 3 months passed.

Business matters are finally on track.

Yang Yan finally had the time and funds to start building his own research institute.

Since all the equipment has been prepared by Team Plasma and the manpower has been recruited through the Goblin Breeding House, the institute only needs to build a framework and can be put into operation quickly.

Of course, Yang Yan did not forget the fossil resurrection machine he dismantled.

He set aside a separate area in the laboratory for this machine to house it and the fossil Pokémon that would be resurrected in the future.

In order to make the origin of this machine appear reasonable, Yang Yan applied for many encryption papers related to it.

Although the fossil resurrection technology has been made public, like energy cubes, it requires payment to use it, and not everyone is eligible to apply.

Of course, these are no problems for Yang Yan.

Yang Yan named his research institute "Coercion Research Institute". As the name suggests, the main research objects of the research institute are naturally the characteristics of intimidation and oppression. Moreover, this is also to better promote the Coercion Team, this new Pokémon team, in the future.

Since there is a primary one, of course there is a secondary one, and the secondary research projects are Fairy Energy Cubes and Fossil Pokémon.

It should be mentioned that Yang Yan will include the research on Axe-Splitting Mantis into the research project on fossil Pokémon.

In the past, he deliberately preserved some of the strange black stones. In the future, he can try to see if he can "grow" them again, or analyze the ingredients, or synthesize them artificially. In short, Yang Yan has never forgotten this matter. .

Although the research projects seem to be a bit too many and complicated, this is basically the case in large research institutes.

Yang Yan's positioning and pursuit of his research institute are not like Qianxia's, and his vision is not that short-sighted. Therefore, it is natural to look to the top research institutes.

Although it may be difficult to do so at first, the research institute is not a factory. Yang Yan has many seniors who can ask for advice. In addition, he is a researcher himself, so there is no problem of not knowing how to carry out the project.

Therefore, when there are no problems with funds and manpower, it is much easier to guide the research institute to slowly get on the right track than to open a factory.

Traveling between the research institute and the factory, I would go to my father's gym from time to time and ask about the business situation of the gym. Time quickly came to the end of the year.

The end of this year is the last moment before the end of this round of King Ranking Battle.

According to the original plan, this time point will be when Yang Yan hits the rankings.
