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

Chapter 86 The Pokémon in this store are absolutely stylish!

Opera and hairdressing are two things that people find hard to associate.

So if there were a shop—just hypothetically—that could combine two unrelated things, then there could only be two possible outcomes.

It's either a massive hit or a complete flop.

Ye Luo was fortunate to be the former. He was sitting on the sofa on the second floor, with the sunlight shining into the room at a 45-degree angle, quietly playing the harmonica.

The "Wandering Sound Trace Bracelet" on my wrist emits a soft light.

However, he is not the main character this time.

Shifting our gaze to the first floor, West Lion Hair is singing loudly in the center of the store.

The guests were somewhat surprised to find that the beautiful voice of the West Lion Hair was also mixed with harmonica notes.

"There's accompaniment now? But this voice sounds familiar."

It seems like a very exciting moment, but for a moment I can't remember where I heard this song. Xiao Zhu is struggling to find out where she heard it.

Her Sylveon was sitting on a cushion in the rest area, exchanging friendly greetings with Umbreon sitting next to her.

"Fei~".

"~".

"Fei ya~ (~~)."

"~".

Although Xiao Zhu couldn't understand a word, she felt that the two Pokémon were having a good time, probably talking about their respective trainers.

Sylveon used a ribbon to take two cookies from a plate on the table, and shared one with Umbreon.

She could hear Primarina's beautiful singing, and she enjoyed an immersive hair styling experience as Gardevoir used its psychic powers to style her hair.

This store is so stylish, no wonder reservations are already booked until the month after next.

"What a pity, this store only has 5 slots a day, can't they offer more?"

Who would turn down money? More customers mean more money, right?

Gardevoir used her telekinesis to control the scissors, trimming the guest's unsightly sideburns as if she were a gardener.

The fact that the shop is entirely run by Pokémon is also the selling point of this hair salon.

Xiao Zhu didn't think there was anything wrong with a person speaking; it's not normal for Pokémon not to talk, and she found this store very novel.

Gardevoir was simply too lazy to reply.

It's true that Gardevoir can use telepathy, but whether it can communicate with every guest it meets using telepathy depends entirely on Gardevoir's mood.

Perhaps I had a good chat with Ye Luo today, so I talked more with the guests.

Feeling there was nothing worth paying attention to, Gardevoir kept quiet.

After all, a stylist might seem serious if they don't speak, but what's so strange about Pokémon not speaking?

Even if Gardevoir doesn't speak, there's Raya to receive guests; that kid is very talkative.

Today, Gardevoir is a silent and elegant stylist, just maintaining style.

Gardevoir wore a beautiful hat, and not a single strand of hair clung to her shawl; she presented a neat and elegant image.

The image reflected in the mirror alone exudes a sense of sophistication.

With its tasteful decor and shimmering pink color scheme, this trendy online store for trendy items was born.

Gardevoir's styling shop only offers hair styling services.

While the salon does haircuts according to the customer's needs, it doesn't offer washing, cutting, or styling services. Getting a haircut is out of the question.

Ye Luo's chosen positioning is also very clear: the purpose of the styling shop is to serve those who need a glamorous look for important occasions today.

For example, a reporter with an important interview today, a white-collar worker who needs to make a good impression on an important business client to facilitate cooperation, or a young woman who treats love as a battlefield and has an important date in the afternoon.

Actually, there are more than just these types of customers who make reservations. Because of a rumor that "you'll have good luck today if you get a Gardevoir styled," some trainers also come to have Gardevoir styled so they can challenge the gym.

Sabrina is the Gym Leader of Saffron City. She is an extremely powerful Psychic-type Gym Leader, and some Trainers even hope that supernatural abilities can help them defeat her.

It has a feeling of trying to defeat superpowers with metaphysics, and Ye Luo doesn't know if this is a good fit for his profession.

In addition, a very small number of customers from other places were surprised to find that some trainers rode flying Pokémon from the Hoenn region to Saffron City specifically to get their Pokémon styled for good luck before participating in the Pokémon Contest.

The internet's ability to spread information is truly remarkable and cannot be underestimated; even in the Hoenn region, thousands of miles away, people can receive the latest news from Saffron City in real time.

With a long queue of people making reservations, Ye Luo had considered opening up a daily quota of 10 styling appointments to make a fortune while business was booming.

But after thinking about it, I decided against it. Five people is just the right number. Doubling it would earn more money, but Gardevoir's mood would be worse.

It doesn't like contact with humans anyway, but considering that running a hair salon can make money and improve the aesthetics of styling, although Ye Luo herself is not sure if it is meaningful for Pokémon to have aesthetics of styling, Gardevoir thinks it is meaningful, so let it run the business.

Ye Luo had to remind herself that making money was secondary; the main purpose of opening the shop was to make Pokémon happy.

Seeing a bulging wallet is certainly satisfying, but it's a different story when it comes to Pokémon.

During this time, he was also secretly observing the state of his Pokémon to see what they were gaining from this job.

The Lionhead Hyena doesn't mind singing for guests; having an audience while singing naturally makes it happy.

In addition, the West Lion Sea Serpent is naturally fond of lively atmospheres, and it is happy as long as it can play music with him.

Latias... It was really enjoying the cookies it was serving to the customers. Those were high-end pastries that cost thousands of Alliance Coins a box. Ye Luo alone boosted the sales of the cookie shop on the next street. Whether she was happy chatting with customers at work was unknown, but she was definitely enjoying the cookies.

Similarly, Meloeta is also very happy because it consumes half of the cookies. However, she has recently gotten a little tired of them. Although she did nothing, Meloeta feels that she deserves credit for opening the shop. She sings a morning song every day to bring good luck to the shop, which is quite mystical.

Umbreon acts like a butler, taking care of the trainer's Pokémon in the lounge and preventing them from running around out of curiosity.

There was nothing that Wind Dog could help with at the moment, so the only thing Ye Luo could think of was taking it out for a walk to build a bond.

As for the Honeycomb Orochi, it's currently sunbathing on the rooftop. That's the good thing about Grass-type Pokémon; as long as there's sunlight, it can photosynthesize and doesn't need much care.

As Ye Luo played the harmonica, she thought about and counted the Pokémon that came to mind.

1, 2, 3... 7, there should be one more.

Ye Luo pondered, "Where did Sai Fuhao go?"

At this moment, on the first floor of the shop, in the middle of the green plants placed in front of the door, stood a motionless golden Pokémon with its face buried in the wall.

After finishing her haircut, Xiao Zhu looked at herself in the mirror. Her fresh short hairstyle seemed to sparkle, and she felt a little narcissistic for a while.

"Sylveon, how's this design?"

"Fei ya~ (So pretty)."

Although Sylveon cannot speak, it uses ribbons to form a heart on its head to express its praise for its new trainer image.

Xiao Zhu was also very satisfied, having enjoyed a captivating opera and received a beautiful haircut. She felt the service was well worth it and commented.

"Thank you, Gardevoir, I really like this hairstyle."

Gardevoir gave a polite bow, and Xiao Zhu turned around, with the Sylveon with the ribbon wrapped around her arm. The Pokémon and the trainer left the costume shop together, pausing for a moment at the door.

"Strange, was there this golden sculpture here before?"

It looks like a thin, wide golden cylinder, somewhat human-shaped, and is probably some kind of auspicious ornament.

Xiao Zhu didn't pay much attention and left with Sylveon.

"Fee? (Bye-bye)." Sylveon waved her ribbon toward the golden sculpture.

"Hmm? Who is Sylveon greeting?"

As the sound faded into the distance and the door closed, the golden Pokémon turned around and let out a smug cry.

"Chirp chirp chirp~ (What a pity)."

Gardevoir blinked its red eyes speechlessly.

What are you doing here?

Sai Fuhao explained, swaying unsteadily.

"Chirp chirp~ (spot the difference game)."

If it could be accurately identified as the real Sai Fuhao, it planned to give humanity a gold coin as a prize, but unfortunately, it was just a little short.

Gardevoir thought her companion was too childish, while Cypher was enjoying himself.

What's the fun of Ghost-type Pokémon? Of course, it's playing hide-and-seek with humans.
