Pokémon: Starting with Lucario and Gardevoir

Haoyan casually opened the slip of paper, on which was written a string of numbers in delicate handwriting.

He smiled, put the note back in his pocket, and turned to leave the hotel.

Boom!

Boom!

Haoyan rode his latest ride, a 890G-ET motorcycle purchased from Devon Company for a whopping 100 million Alliance Coins.

This was a reward he gave himself after becoming the dojo master.

Motorcycles are a man's romance!

Put the note you just wrote on the car's storage rack.

The shelf was filled with all sorts of slips of paper, each with a phone number written on it.

Wearing a silver-white helmet that matches the motorcycle, I twisted the throttle of the 890G-ET and it roared to life.

Haoyan is going to the City Hall in Slateport City to attend a meeting regarding the construction of the Slateport Dojo.

... ...

Huizi had been hiding in the corner, secretly watching Haoyan, and only withdrew her gaze after his figure disappeared.

"I get up at 4 a.m. every day, then spend two hours putting on makeup, and rush to the hotel early just to see Director Haoyan and say good morning to him!"

"You've really gone to great lengths!" Maki, who also worked at the hotel front desk, teased.

Huizi's face was flushed, but she no longer looked shy.

She said confidently, "Of course! A perfect man like Director Haoyan is simply my dream lover."

"You're really not ashamed at all!"

“But it’s understandable. After all, someone as outstanding as Director Hirohiko really has no chance if he doesn’t take the initiative,” Maki said.

"Yes, Maki, you're right, so please, give me all the early shifts from now on!" Keiko clasped her hands together, looking pleading.

Maki joked, "No way, I have to work the early shift too. I also want to see Director Hiroki every day and say good morning to him!"

"Maki, you already have a boyfriend, yet you still have designs on me, Director Hiroko!" Keiko said, feigning displeasure.

"Yo yo yo~ When did Director Haoyan become yours?" Risa teased.

... ...

After chatting for a few minutes, Huizi said with some melancholy, "I wonder if Master Haoyan will call me..."

She works as a receptionist at the Kaina City Grand Hotel and is absolutely stunningly beautiful.

There are quite a few people who pursue Huizi.

Haoyan is the most handsome gym leader in the entire Hoenn region, and also the most sought-after person in the league recently!

"Sigh... If only Master Haoyan could call me..."

Huizi stared blankly at the black screen on her phone.

Every girl who slipped a note to Haoyan was just like Huizi.

He constantly checks his phone, and immediately picks it up to check at the slightest sign of trouble.

There was a girl who had Haoyan's phone number.

Unlike them, who act like resentful women, passively waiting.

Hao Yan received a call from this girl as soon as he arrived at the Kaina City Hall.

... ...

Chapter 220 Mikoli: Haoyan is like a magnet

"You're coming to Kaina City for special training?" Hao Yan asked, holding the phone with a somewhat strange expression.

The person who spoke to Haoyan on the phone was Du Juan.

Not long after the election ended, Du Juan returned to Kanaz City.

But how long has it been? And now they're coming to Kaina City again?

"Yes, we already talked about it at the hotel last time. I'll start arranging special training after we get back."

"I need to improve my Rock Pokémon's ability to overcome its weakness to water so I can aim for an A-rank gym ranking in this year's Type Battle!"

"Kanaz City is an inland city with no large water sources nearby, while Kaina City is close to the sea and has a warm climate, making it the perfect place for special training."

"I'll come find you in a few days after I've settled things at the dojo~"

Du Juan hung up the phone without waiting for Hao Yan's reply.

... ...

Hao Yan was speechless. He hung up the phone, parked his newly bought motorcycle in the parking lot, and walked into the city hall.

Good morning, Curator Haoyan!

"Director Haoyan~"

As Haoyan walked through the city hall, many staff members greeted him warmly.

After politely nodding in response, they arrived at the door of the conference room.

"Director Haoyan is here!" Mayor Wuhe quickly stood up to welcome him.

In addition to staff from the Kaina City Hall, Mikuri, a representative of the League, also participated in the gym construction meeting.

"Good morning, Haoyan." Mikoli greeted Haoyan.

"Good morning, Mr. Michael." Hao Yan waved his hand and took his seat as arranged by Mayor Wu He.

Once everyone had arrived, Mayor Wuhe began to address the day's agenda.

"Master Haoyan, the procedures for the dojo have been completed, and we are now entering the construction phase."

"Given that our Slateport City Gym is newly established, and you are its first newly appointed Gym Leader, the Slateport City Gym is currently at the lowest level, Rank C."

"The alliance allocates 2000 million alliance coins annually as a subsidy."

"Our city government in Kaina will also allocate 1.3% of its annual tax revenue to support the operation of the dojo."

"Kaina City's tax revenue is 1.3 per thousand, which is about 3500 million."

"After careful consideration, it has been decided that out of a total of 5500 million Alliance Coins, 3000 million will be used for the construction of the Dojo, 1000 million will be reserved for the daily expenses of the Dojo, and the remaining 1500 million will be given to Dojo Master Haoyan for his disposal."

"The above is a summary of the dojo's use of funds."

Haoyan nodded in agreement. 1500 million a year, that's a lot!

I'm usually out doing tasks.

It's hard work, dangerous, and the pay is only a few hundred thousand.

This is why so many people are eager to become the Gym Leader of Slateport City.

There's no other reason than that self-interest moves people's hearts.

If you can achieve more rankings in the attribute competition and improve the level of your gym, these subsidies will continue to increase.

Mayor Wuhe, seeing that Haoyan had no objections, continued, "However, now, Director Haoyan, we have encountered a difficulty."

"The city's infrastructure is already at its limit, so it may be difficult to meet your previous requirements. That's why we invited you here today to discuss this matter."

Haoyan's first requirement for construction is that it must be big and wide enough!

He has a 12-meter-tall Tyranitar, and now that he's become the gym leader, he can't be treated unfairly.

Secondly, training grounds, battlefields, and accommodations should be provided.

So, it really can't be too small.

"I have a small, albeit immature, suggestion regarding the location of the dojo."

As soon as Hao Yan opened his mouth, Mayor Wu and the relevant personnel all pricked up their ears.

Haoyan took a map, circled a place on it, and said to everyone.

"My plan is to build a dojo here."

"This place is located on the west side of Kaina City. It is relatively desolate and undeveloped, but the road network nearby is quite developed, connecting three main roads in Kaina City."

"We chose this location because once the gym is built, a large number of trainers will come to challenge it."

"As more people flock in, it boosts consumption here."

"In addition, there is a nice beach nearby, which, with some improvements, can divert some of the tourists."

"This will alleviate the pressure on tourist reception and improve service quality..."

He spoke eloquently and with great foresight; in his previous life, he was a successful businessman.

This world exists because of Pokémon.

This has led most people to focus their attention on Pokémon.

I am not an expert in economics.

The city hall staff listened attentively to Hao Yan's insightful yet simple explanation, nodding frequently in agreement.

Even someone like Wallace, who doesn't care about the local economy and only focuses on Pokémon and Contests, was captivated by the story.

"Hahaha, I never expected this!"

"Master Haoyan is actually quite knowledgeable about urban planning and economic judgment!"

Mayor Wuhe laughed heartily, and after Haoyan's guidance, he suddenly understood.

The entire conference room was filled with a peaceful atmosphere.

Mikoli looked at Kai Kai, who spoke with a restrained sharpness.

I remembered during the election campaign, all the museum directors sided with him and cheered him on.

"Haoyan is like a magnet with a strong magnetic force; anyone who gets close to him will be deeply attracted to him."
