Pokémon: The Climb

The entrance of Yuhong Gym.

Looking at the elf ball with the Lizard King in his hand, Yang Yan couldn't help but laugh happily.

With the Lizard King's current qualifications, it is very likely that he can be promoted to the perfect level in the future.

Li Jia also told him that after this upgrade, the dragon bloodline hidden in the Lizard King's body seems to have been activated. This has been verified by Yang Yan from the additional dragon skills in the data panel.

All in all, the future of the Lizard King will be brighter!

Now Yang Yan really has the urge to return to Fengyuan.

If it weren't for the fact that he could only go to the alliance headquarters where he was born to go through the formalities, he would have gone to the Quartz Plateau immediately.

It's okay if you don't know about the qualification potion. Now that you know it, this is definitely something Yang Yan needs to work hard to obtain in the future.

Asking Xerneas to improve his qualifications was, in the final analysis, just Yang Yan's beautiful idea. Whether it would work or not was a matter of speculation. Even if it was really willing to help, there was no precise estimate of how much its qualifications could be improved.

Therefore, it is safer to obtain qualification potions from the alliance to improve qualifications.

But it was too late to go back now, so he might as well wait peacefully for the opening ceremony of Jiumei Flower Shop before leaving.

……

Jiumei's flower shop is located near the edge of the Yuhong City Flower Market.

The store is opened here because the prices are relatively cheaper and the interior space is larger.

The front is the business premises, and a small greenhouse is built in the back, which is enough.

Price naturally refers to rent. After all, if she buys it, the 30 yuan she has in hand plus the money given by Yang Yan will not be enough.

Jiumei's goal in the future is to completely buy this place, including the park used for planting flowers and plants in the suburbs.

Before the opening, Jiumei had a lot of things to do, so Yangyan didn't have time to take a look.

It wasn't until the flower shop officially opened two days later that Yang Yan, like everyone else on the street, was about to step into the flower shop called "Yu Wu" for the first time.

It was around 7 a.m. or almost 8 a.m., and Kumi and Natsuki, who were both former apprentices at the gym, were making final inspections of the layout at the door.

Including banners, flower baskets, firecrackers, opening gifts, coupons, etc...

8 o'clock exactly.

Amidst a burst of firecrackers, the boss, Kumi, dressed in a bright but not voluptuous light red kimono, slowly walked onto the stage.

Even though she had practiced at home many times, Jiumei was still nervous.

But she still pretended to be calm and walked slowly in front of countless passers-by.

"Good morning everyone, my name is Jiumei, and I am the owner of this Yuwu flower shop..."

After talking for a long time, Jiumei's nervous expression gradually became relaxed, and the confidence on her face became more and more obvious.

Natsuki and others smiled and applauded at the right time to enhance the atmosphere, which also gave Kumi more confidence.

In a red car not far away, Li Jia looked at Jiumei at this moment and smiled happily.

It is the joy that teachers feel when they see their students finally growing up.

Yang Yan is usually a person who is very good at suppressing his emotions, but at this moment he also kept applauding.

The entire opening ceremony passed in a festive atmosphere of laughter and laughter.

Next, Jiumei opened the store and formally invited people to take a look.

Yang Yan was also among the crowd.

Although Jiumei noticed Yang Yan's figure, she was very busy at the moment and had no time to take care of Yang Yan.

She didn't ask Yang Yan for help, because Yang Yan had never participated in the construction of a flower shop before, and his knowledge of various flowers and plants was at a very superficial level. Even if he helped, it would be a disservice.

Unlike him, Nayue and the others were busy working like employees.

Yang Yan walked slowly back and forth and walked around several times.

As I walked, I listened to other people’s comments about the store, the flowers, and the people.

Overall positive.

This is of course, after all, Li Jia is the master of this way. During her apprenticeship at the Yuhong Gym, Jiumei naturally learned a lot. In addition, during the process of opening the store, Jiumi will also tell Li Jia her thoughts and ask Li Jia for help. For reference, there will certainly be no major problems with the completed store layout.

Occasionally when he hears something negative, Yang Yan will record it carefully and then hand it over to Jiumei, allowing her to decide whether to accept it or not.

He won't give any subjective thoughts.

Because professional matters should be left to professionals.

Yang Yan observed so carefully, of course, not only to help Jiumei, he also wanted to learn how to open a good flower shop.

As we all know, grass-type Pokémon are best at taking care of flowers and plants, and Yang Yan’s new breeding house focuses on grass-types. He wants to know if he can set aside an area in the breeding house to grow similar flowers and plants, and then use this as a basis. Open a flower shop or sell flowers directly to a local florist.

It’s also good as extra income from running a nursery.

The reason why he didn't reject Jiumei's proposal to buy shares was because of this idea in his mind.

After taking the stake, I thought it would be more convenient to discuss the management of the flower shop and the planting of flowers and plants with Jiumei. I could even take this as an opportunity to maintain a certain relationship with Lijia for a long time in the future. Why not?

After all, Li Jia's identity was there, and he didn't want to gradually lose this connection due to time after returning to Fengyuan.

……

When you are busy, it is always difficult to realize the passage of time.

It was already getting late. Although Jiumei and others were tired, they were still discussing what happened today and calculating today's gains.

Yang Yan took out a notebook that had been filled with dense writing, tore off one of the pages and handed it to Kumi.

"Let's take a look. These are the things I heard from customers pointing out that the store is lacking."

"So you didn't just sit around and watch it all day, champion?" Natsuki suddenly joked.

As Kumi took the paper, he said on behalf of Yang Yan: "Nazuki, Yang Yan is not only a champion, he is also a very powerful researcher. Even if he is just observing, I believe he can see many things that ordinary people can't notice!"

"so smart?"

It was the first time for Natsuki and others to hear Kumi talking about this, and they all expressed shock.

After all, there are very few people who develop in both trainer and breeder paths at the same time, let alone achieve certain achievements in both paths at the same time, which is even rarer.

"It seems that there was a reason why we were defeated in the first place..."

Even though it has been a long time, this incident is still an unforgettable hurdle in the hearts of Natsuki and others.

Now that I know how powerful Yang Yan is, I suddenly feel that losing to the league champion and losing to a genius is not so unacceptable.

"Well, if I hadn't been too tired today, I would have thought of asking the champion for advice."

Now that she had let it go, Natsuki felt much relieved, and at the same time, she also wanted to fight Yang Yan again.

Unlike Kumi, Natsuki did not choose to leave her trainer.

"Seeing that you are still very concerned about the flower shop, how about you stay for two more days to observe and observe, and give us a chance to ask the league champion for advice?"

Natsuki's suggestion made everyone's eyes light up. After all, the first few days after opening were the busiest times. If there was a boy to share the pressure, he would be able to relax a lot.

Once the store is on track, Jiumei will be able to take care of it by herself.

Yang Yan thought about it and realized that he really wanted to learn more, so he nodded and said: "Leaving now is indeed not what I, a shareholder, should do. Then I will stay and help for a few days."
