Pokémon: Just won the championship, the newbie growth system is here!

Chapter 102 Openly plotting, even in one's heart it counts.

When the two Pokémon started arguing, Ye Luo heard the doorbell ring downstairs, so he excused himself and went downstairs.

When he opened the door, a little girl with pink hair tied in pigtails and wearing an oversized leather jacket saw him and immediately fell asleep.

"I knew you were here! Seeing how adorable Sango-sama is, did you miss me?"

Ye Luo felt a bit overwhelmed, wondering how this brat had found this store.

Coral was just being arrogant.

"Don't underestimate Lady Coral's intelligence-gathering abilities."

Ye Luo asked directly.

"What do you need me for? Our shop is closed today."

What?! We're closed today.

Coral looked very surprised; she was planning to get a super cute new hairstyle.

Ye Luo really wanted to complain to her, "What kind of intelligence network is this? You don't even know if the organization is even open for business."

"And if you want to get your hair done, please make an appointment on the official website."

"What?!"

Coral was greatly shocked, only to find out that a very popular new hair salon had just opened there.

"I rarely get a day off..."

.

"Oh, you're not going to school today."

"What?! Missing school?! Coral is an incredibly strong trainer, a key member and elite member of the exploration team!"

This kid is so noisy.

However, Ye Luo was a little curious about the exploration team she mentioned, and then asked.

"Can I get you some snacks? Would you like to come inside and sit for a while?"

"Oh, you're quite sensible, I'll come in!"

Without saying a word, Coral rushed into the house and was immediately attracted by the pink and green interior decoration.

"Wow, you have great taste! It would be even better with some black accents."

Just by looking at Coral's outfit, you can tell which colors she prefers. Her pink and black outfit, with a section of her black pants cut out and transparent on one side, emphasizes an asymmetrical look, which is a hip-hop style.

Ye Luo really wanted to sew up the empty pant leg, take out the new cookies she bought from the street next door from the cabinet, put them on a plate, and serve the guest a cup of tea.

Coral's eyes lit up the moment she saw the cookies. Given her taste in popular limited-edition desserts, she knew this must be the limited-edition Frost Tower Tricolor Cookie from the dessert street.

"Wow, you even bought those limited-edition Frost Tower Tricolor Cookies that are hard to find. You have good taste!"

"What's so difficult about that?"

Ye Luo smiled helplessly. He still had a lot of these cookies, which were hard to find on the market, because he was a regular customer.

Previously, Meloetta and Latias consumed snacks too quickly, so he ordered a large quantity every day and became familiar with the cookie shop next door, switching to an order-based system for ordering.

If Ye Luo needs cookies, she can place an order and pay the money, and the other party will work overtime to make them.

While it might be difficult for customers to grab them, when money is involved, who would complain about earning too little? Ye Luo is sold by weight.

Seeing that Coral was happily eating snacks, Ye Luo thought it would be a good time to ask him something that interested him. Ye Luo asked, seemingly skeptical.

"Coral, you're saying you're a key member of your exploration team? You must be kidding!"

"Huh?! I, Sango-sama, am a high-ranking official. Who's joking with you?"

Although that's what she said, her mouth, covered in cookie crumbs, didn't carry much weight.

Ye Luo couldn't believe it at all.

"Is there any evidence?"

"certainly."

Coral reached into her pocket and pulled out a badge with a superimposed square and hourglass symbol, and a star-like icon embedded in the center right of the hourglass symbol.

"This is the exploration team's badge; only official members are entitled to wear it. Isn't that impressive?"

"well enough."

"ah?!"

Ye Luo ignored the brat's provocation and continued to ask.

"So you said it's an exploration team, what kind of work do they do?"

"Do everything."

"Does everything?"

"Yes, the exploration team is responsible for exploring resources in unknown and dangerous places. The buyer pays, and we provide the labor."

"Sounds like mercenaries."

"Hiring mercenaries?"

Coral was so engrossed in eating cookies that she didn't hear any new words for the first time.

"I've never heard of that term before, but we do have an employment relationship with the conglomerate. As for which conglomerate it is, I, Coral, would never tell you."

Anyway, aside from the more detailed matters, Ye Luo has already learned almost everything she wanted to know.

Exploration teams are essentially mercenary groups that work for wealthy people to mine natural resources and explore uncharted territories. They also likely do odd jobs for the wealthy.

Exploring unknown resources is easy to understand; there are many unknown secrets in this world.

Currently, the only habitable places for humans are the eastern regions, including Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh; the Alola region; the Unova region; and the Western Europe region, including Kalos, Galar, and Padia. Many other places remain a mystery.

There may be unknown resources, there may be a dangerous environment, or perhaps both.

I checked the time and it was already 5 p.m. Fortunately, he was still in the store.

Thinking that Gardevoir's prophecy was unlikely to come true, Ye Luo felt a little smug. It wasn't that he had a problem with Gardevoir, but it just felt like breaking the impossible.

"Pikachu, Pikachu, Pikachu!"

Coral's face darkened further when Rotom's phone rang.

"Why do you always call me when I'm enjoying my meal?"

Coral pressed the call button and loudly retorted to the person on the other end.

"Hey, I'm off today."

"Coral, new mission: Go to Tokiwa Academy and support your team, Amegio, in completing the search mission."

"Who cares! Poker Face isn't one of my allies."

"If you don't go, I'll consider assigning the next commission mission to another exploration team."

After hanging up the phone, Ye Luo silently watched the brat act.

Coral was in a great mood, but then an untimely mission was delivered to her, requiring her to support other teams without paying her.

Although they are all exploration teams, each team fights independently, and business is only allocated to multiple teams when the target difficulty is high enough to require teamwork.

They need backup just to arrest one student at Tokiwa Academy. Emegio's squad is a bunch of good-for-nothings.

"I'm leaving."

"Hmm? Won't you eat some more?"

Coral thought so too, and sighed helplessly.

"No, I still have work to do, and a downgraded reputation will affect my commissions."

Ye Luo was a little surprised. She hadn't realized that this brat valued the spirit of contracts so much. It seemed she needed to reconsider her opinion of her.

I casually packed a box of cookies and handed it over.

"Take it."

"Huh? Hmm?"

A box of cookies was shoved into Coral's hand.

Ye Luo patted her head and said with concern.

"You seem to really enjoy this food, so here's a little something for you. Come visit again sometime!"

"oh."

Coral gave an 'oh' as ​​a reflex, then suddenly realized something was wrong and shook off Ye Luo's arm.

"Pah! Seriously, who wants your snacks and sympathy, ugh!"

Then he took the snacks and left without looking back, closing the door behind him.

Ye Luo was speechless.

"What on earth has this kid gone through to become so unruly?"

He took a sip of black tea, stood up, and casually asked.

"Meloeta, did she just say the mission was to go to Tokiwa Academy and capture a student?"

[Hmm~.]

Meloeta, who had been sitting invisibly at the table, quietly appeared and nodded.

[That's what she was thinking just now~.]

Meloeta flew up and sat on his shoulder, while Ye Luo picked up his clothes and shoulder bag.

Arresting students is one thing, but plotting loudly in front of you and speaking in your heart is another, and stopping such things is also within the scope of Champion's business.

Coral appears to have already ridden away on her Ice Ghost Guardian.

Ye Luo changed into a white outfit, put on a hat, went outside, threw out a Poké Ball, summoned Arcanine, and rode on it. "Arcanine, take me to Viridian City, head west at full speed."

"Woof woof!"

During the long-awaited walk, the Gyrocopter wagged its tail and sped off.
