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

Chapter 99 You're absolutely right, but it's just a shuttlecock grass.

Ye Luo was a little confused. He had just taken his Pokémon to a nearby street for breakfast, so why was there an extra person in the shop?

His brown curly hair was tied into a ponytail with a key-shaped hair clip. He wore sunglasses, a pink collared jacket, a pencil skirt, and a black shirt. He was adorned with gold key and lock pendants interspersed with red fabric. Judging from his demeanor, he seemed like a designer.

"You must be the owner of this shop. My name is Sakura Yuki, and this is my partner, Greninja."

He casually handed me a business card, which read:

"Flying Water Flash Styling Brand, Chairwoman: Yingxue."

So?

This did not resolve Ye Luo's doubts. So why did he come to his shop? He remembered that the name "Ying Xue" was not among the customers who made appointments today.

He did know about "Flying Water Flash," a two-story fashion boutique in Block 3 that sold clothing and also provided custom hairstyling services.

The money earned from just hairdressing is definitely limited. A styling shop that offers a one-stop service from clothing and styling to hair styling caters to a high-end clientele.

If there's any connection between my shop and the other party, it's probably that we both offer hairdressing services.

Ye Luo looked at the confident urban woman in front of her, so she was here to test the background of her peers?

This might sound harsh, but if you want to run a store, it's perfectly reasonable to pay attention to newly opened stores in the same industry in the same city.

When Ye Luo registered the "Moon Travel" styling shop, she and Gardevoir went to different shops in Goldenrod City to learn about interior design and pay attention to the prices of the products.

In fact, the current pricing of this store is based on the basic package price of the Flying Flash Hair Salon in the city center.

While Ye Luo was trying to figure out what the other person was thinking, Ying Xue was also trying to figure out what the shop owner was thinking.

Why didn't you introduce yourself?

At this moment, Yingxue was thinking to herself, why isn't this person saying anything? She had already given him her business card in a business-friendly manner. Isn't exchanging business cards the most basic habit of business people? At least saying his name would keep the conversation going and prevent it from feeling awkward.

Upon closer inspection, the young man in front of me was dressed in a simple style, though not in an embarrassing way. His brown clothes and black-rimmed round glasses made him look like someone who could easily blend into a crowd.

Although her hair was permed, judging from the curliness of the ends, it must have been done a few months ago. I would only give her a 60 out of 100 for her image management.

Yingxue couldn't help but wonder if he really needed to dress so plainly. He had already opened such a successful shop with great success, so he should be more flamboyant and show off his charm to justify his hard work.

Gardevoir quietly inquired about Umbreon's situation, Meloetta flew to the table and ate cookies with Diancie, while Greninja squinted and drank tea at its seat.

The humans sized each other up but remained silent. However, the human standoff had nothing to do with Pokémon at the moment. Sakura was wondering what the shop owner was waiting for. She was waiting for the other party to introduce themselves.

Ye Luo was pondering a question: Had his identity been exposed?

The other person had been staring at him without saying a word since he came in. Judging from what she saw when she came in, she must have seen West Lion Seaman before. West Lion Seaman, seeing his appearance, probably already guessed who he was.

The fact that the other party has remained silent so far is good evidence to support this argument.

"that..:

Yingxue's words interrupted his thoughts. The other party seemed to be getting a little impatient, Ye Luo said frankly.

"Sorry, I was thinking about something else. What can I do for you?"

Since the other party didn't intend to say their name, Sakura decided to get straight to the point and ask.

"I have something I'd like to discuss with you, and I hope you can give me an answer."

Sakura was curious to know why the shop owner wanted to switch careers and go into business. From what she had seen and learned today, the low-key owner in front of her must be a very capable trainer.

Both have a past as trainers; one said he was forced to change careers by life's circumstances, but what were the other's reasons?

This piqued her curiosity.

"I see."

Since they were both adults, Ye Luo readily accepted this explanation, assuming that the other person was thinking the same thing as him. So he rummaged through his bag, took out a card, handed it to her, and politely explained.

"However, it's business hours now, and continuing to chat like this will delay the service of our booked customers. If possible, please come to see me after 7 pm."

In 10 minutes, it will be 8 o'clock, and the customers who made appointments today will have their hair and makeup done.

Although Ye Luo wasn't participating, she still had to play along with west Shi Hai Ren, so there was no other way.

"I understand, the guests should be the top priority."

Yingxue said she could understand, as she was also the owner of a styling shop. If she hadn't considered the customers' feelings and provided quality service, she wouldn't be where she is today.

I glanced at the business card and was surprised to find a signed photo of the trainer, probably taken during his time as a trainer, with the trainer's name and signature written below.

"Ye Luo, is that you in the photo?"

Ye Luo asked in confusion.

"Is there a big difference?"

Sakura shook her head.

"You look even more radiant in this autographed photo."

"It's probably because of the lighting."

"Maybe."

Looking at the trainer's image on the autographed photo, Sakura felt like she had seen it somewhere before, but couldn't quite place it.

Sakura didn't think much of it and casually stuffed the card into her bag.

After exchanging polite words about catching up another time, Sakura and Greninja walked out of the store together.

Before closing the door, she saw Ye Luo smiling and waving goodbye to her.

After finally seeing the guests off, Ye Luo breathed a sigh of relief and checked the time; it was already 8 a.m.

Did the guest oversleep? But it's alright.

Occasionally, customers may forget their appointment time or be delayed by other matters. In such cases, we can simply wait until the customer arrives before doing their hair and makeup.

Now that there's some free time, Ye Luo will go upstairs to rest for a bit. She expects to start business for the day soon.

I had barely gone upstairs when the late guest rushed in in a panic.

The man wearing the keyflower, Xiaoyu's hair was so messy that she hadn't even had time to wash it.

"Sorry I'm late. I had an important date today, and even Keyplant didn't wake me up."

"key....

But it's just a spiny grass.

The Giant Grass indicated that it had tried its best, but its trainer simply couldn't wake it up.

Gardevoir pointed to the seat and communicated telepathically.

Please sit here.

"Okay, okay, please hurry."

Xiaoyu made an appointment with this store because she valued its fast service and high quality. Money wasn't an issue, but the quality had to be good enough.

Just as she walked in, a gust of wind happened to blow, carrying the grass that was about to enter directly out of the door.

"Key (I'm flying away)."

"Ah! My skewer grass, wait for me!"

Just as Xiao Yu was about to run to her seat, she immediately turned around and ran towards the door, trying to catch the flying grass, but she missed it by just one palm's distance.

Xiao Yu, who had just gotten up, leaned forward and fell straight down the stairs.

He closed his eyes halfway through, but the expected face-first landing never happened.

Xiao Yu tentatively opened his eyes and found that his body was frozen in mid-air. Gardevoir used its psychic powers to pull him back into the shop.

"Thank you, but my shuttlecock grass, I have to...:"

Before he could finish speaking, a powerful mental force pressed Xiaoyu down into the guest's seat.

Gardevoir calmly explained using telepathy.

[First, think about what kind of hairstyle you want. Don't you have an important date? Don't worry about the Giant's Fern; my trainer will get it back for you.]
