Pokémon: The Climb

Before he could step forward, Yang Yan's cell phone rang.

At first glance, it was Jiumei’s phone number.

"Sister Kumi, what's wrong?"

"Yang Yan, I'm so sorry. I suddenly discovered that the cost of the flower shop is much higher than I thought..."

Yang Yan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "How much is left? If it's not much, I'll make up for it for you!"

"It's still 30 million..."

It could be heard that Jiumei's tone was slightly hesitant.

"It's 30. Fortunately, I can still get it out. You can send me the card number later and I'll transfer it to you."

Hearing that Yang Yan was ready to take out the money without hesitation, Jiumei's tone became much more relaxed: "Thank you Yang Yan, but I owe you so much money all at once. I'm afraid I won't be able to pay it back in a short time. How about this? Think of this money as your money for buying a stake in my flower shop, what do you think?"

Yang Yan thought for a while and said, "Sister Jiumei, there's no need to do this. I'm not in a hurry for the money."

"That's not okay. One code must be the same. Some things should be treated more seriously."

Jiumei's persistence surprised Yang Yan: "Okay, then just consider me buying a stake."

"Okay, then let's take 50/50 of the flower shop's future operating income."

Yang Yan quickly refused: "How can it be calculated as 50-50? I think it is 28-20 at most. After all, I only contribute money and will not care about the specific operations in the future."

"Then it's Sanqi, it's settled!"

Jiumei sets the standard and does not allow Yang Yan to refute.

"Let's do it..."

After a while, Yang Yan hung up the phone.

It is quite unexpected that it costs more than 60 to open a flower shop, but Jiumei’s explanation is also very reasonable, because she said that this was Lijia’s suggestion to her, asking her to build a small greenhouse behind the shop and another one in the suburbs. Wouldn't it cost more to buy a circle of vacant land for large-scale cultivation and planting?

Yang Yan initially thought that Jiumei’s compensation of 30 yuan was enough because he did not cultivate flowers and plants, which was a second-hand business model of selling goods. However, Lijia suggested that Jiumei do direct sales from manufacturers, so the money was naturally not enough. .

The reason why Yang Yan agreed was because many new and interesting ideas suddenly popped up in his mind.

But there’s no rush for this, let’s go to the wild wilderness area for now.

……

Come to the wooden gate.

Surprisingly, it felt a little deserted.

After entering the door, there was only a girl with her head hanging down, dozing out of boredom.

"Hello there!"

Yang Yan stepped forward and knocked on the table.

"Ah...what?"

The girl was suddenly awakened, but she was not fully awake yet.

"Hello, I want to go inside the wild wilderness area."

"Oh, okay!" The girl instinctively took out a basket of special elf balls and was about to hand it to Yang Yan when she suddenly realized and said: "3000 yuan, thank you."

Yang Yan took out the 3000 yuan he had prepared and put it on the table.

The wild wilderness area does not allow people to capture Pokémon for free. After all, it costs money to maintain basic operations, and the production of those Poké Balls also costs money.

There is never a free lunch in the world, so it is completely impossible for ordinary people to use the loopholes in the wild area to obtain Pokémon and become a trainer at no cost.

Of course, the money is not that much, and is roughly equivalent to the price of buying an ordinary Pokémon. However, in the wild wilderness area, the theoretical upper limit can be 30 Pokémon, let alone 2. Earned.

When most people see such a good thing, they are basically willing to try their luck here. After all, if you capture one, you will not lose, but if you capture two or more, you will make a profit.

But this is actually a special commercial marketing method, which is designed to take advantage of people's feelings of taking advantage.

How can Pokémon be so easy to control?

Yang Yan put away the elf ball and looked at it for a while. He had always made his own Poke Balls, so he was naturally curious about the differences between these Poke Balls and common Poke Balls.

But in order not to attract attention, he put them all away after looking at them for a while, showing only the curiosity that ordinary people should have.

"Can I go in now?"

The girl nodded: "Yes, but I would like to remind you that the wild wilderness area has been very unstable recently. Poachers often come to steal, so the Pokémon there have been more shy and violent recently."

"If you regret and want to leave now, I can refund your money!"

In fact, she should have said these words before taking out the elf ball, but she just woke up and her mind was a little confused, so she only remembered it now.

"I told you why I felt a little deserted when I first walked in the door. No one has been here lately!" Yang Yan suddenly understood.

He smiled slightly: "Thanks for reminding me, but I'm not here to capture Pokémon, so it doesn't matter."

After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the passage.

The girl was left in a daze.

"Not to capture Pokémon? Then what are you doing here?"

……

Officially entering the wild wilderness area, what you see is an endless vast wilderness.

The breeze blows, and the fragrance of soil mixed with flowers and plants penetrates the nostrils, making people relax involuntarily.

The wild wilderness area is consistent with the pictures seen on the Internet. The only thing that is not consistent with the imagination is that I did not see a single Pokémon.

There was a girl's reminder in front of him, so Yang Yan didn't think much about it.

Release the flaming horse again and step on it.

"Flame Horse, let's go and see where your father lives!"

"Yu!"

The loud sound of the flaming horse resounded across the wilderness, and then its limbs exerted their strength and ran forward as fast as they could.

On the treetops not far away, in the grass, and by the stream, Pokémon were attracted by the cry of the flaming horse from time to time.

But they only looked at it from a distance for a few times before lowering their heads and bodies again.

Not only because of the influence of poachers, but also because of the power exuded by the flame horse.

Too powerful, so powerful that people dare not approach it.

"Really, Flame Horse, please restrain yourself. Didn't you see that when those Kenteros saw you, they were as afraid to approach you as if they had seen a ghost?" Yang Yan laughed.

Lieyanma is also helpless. Is there anything wrong with having high strength?

"Wait, there seems to be someone there? Let's go take a look!"

After the Kenteros ran away, Yang Yan noticed that there was someone in front of them that was blocked by them.

He thought they were other guests, but when he got closer, he realized they were Wilderness Area staff. Because not only were they wearing the same overalls as the girls who were waiting at the door, but they also had a few sly people in their hands who looked like they were not good people at first glance.

"Hello, what's going on?"

"Are you a trainer who is here to capture Pokémon? Don't be afraid, these are the poachers we just caught, and we are preparing to suppress them and lock them up!"

One of the men, who was obviously the leader, stepped forward and explained.

"Poacher? Such a coincidence?"

Yang Yan turned around and glanced back. He had heard Junsha talk about it not long ago, but he didn't expect that he actually encountered it.

Although these poachers were caught, they seemed not to be afraid at all, and their expressions were as arrogant as ever.

"I advise you to let me go, otherwise you will offend Team Rocket and you will not be able to bear the consequences!"

"That's right, let us go quickly, or you will reap the rewards!"
