The world of hardcore Pokémon can also be very warm

Although he was looking for a suitable place to build a factory in other places, considering the raw materials, future sales channels, and transportation costs, Yang Yan's search scope did not exceed the urban radiation range of Yuanzhong City.

More than two months later, after negotiations with the municipal governments of several cities, Yang Yan finally selected the location in Xingtie City, which has relatively good preferential treatment for industrial enterprises.

The specific location is the industrial park in Xingtie City.

Since the name of the intimidating drug has not been widely promoted at present, Yang Yan does not plan to build a too big factory.

Of course, cost is also a big factor.

The construction of a factory is not as complicated as a gym or a research institute, and the framework is easy to erect. However, the bulk of the factory, that is, various instruments, need to be purchased from various places, and some even need to be cross-regional or specially customized, so the efficiency will be slower. .

In addition, Yang Yan has never run a factory before and is not familiar with it, so there will be more places to consider and information to look for, and the efficiency will be even slower.

Until almost half a year later, when dad's gym was completed, his intimidation potion factory was still in a "merely superficial" state.

Fortunately, half a year has passed and the journey is almost completed. Yang Yan estimates that the factory will officially start operations in about two months.

Among the raw materials of the intimidation potion, the fairy material containing life energy is bulk. His fairy cultivation house has accumulated a lot of this part. There is also a large area of ​​cultivation in the fairy secret realm, so the cost is not much.

Another big item is the materials containing destructive energy. This part is basically collected by the ghosts in the secret realm, so it doesn't cost much.

Adding up the remaining materials, labor, water, electricity, etc., Yang Yan probably wouldn't be too exaggerated.

Therefore, the cost of making a potion is actually very limited.

But low cost does not mean low pricing. Of course, although it is a monopoly product, it cannot be priced too high. 500, a number between primary and intermediate energy cubes, he thought was a more reasonable price.

As Yang Yan said in his defense, using intimidation potions to cultivate Pokémon with intimidating characteristics is not a cost-effective deal.

If you use this as a selling point to promote, unless the price is very low, you will definitely lose money.

But if the promotion point is to improve the survival rate of trainers when traveling in the wild, then Yang Yan believes that most trainers would not mind buying one or two potions to prepare just in case.

In addition, the common Pokémon in the Hoenn region, Wolfdog, is already one of the Pokémon that many local trainers will tame, so there is no need to tame new Pokémon for potions.

It is precisely because the Great Wolf Dog accounts for a relatively high proportion of Pokémon captured by trainers in the Hoenn region. Yang Yan believes that the process of developing the market will not be too difficult, so he will place the factory in the Hoenn region.

Origin is not the first factor that Yang Yan considers.

At this time, Yang Yan, standing outside the factory, felt quite relieved.

Because this factory carries too much of my hard work.

We have dedicated our energy to cultivating family members and look forward to the day when we no longer have to be controlled by money. Now it is finally here.

This big stone that has been weighing on my heart since I came to this world is about to be removed, how can I not be happy?

"Ten years have passed in the blink of an eye, and the dawn is about to come. It's not easy..."

……

Although Yang Yan wanted to open the factory as soon as possible, he could not miss the opening ceremony of his father's gym.

So he turned around and Yang Yan got on the bus back to Bai'an City.

Xingtie City is not too far from Baian City and can be reached in less than half a day by car. If you ride a Tyrannosaurus or Metagross, the speed will be even faster.

However, Yang Yan left all the Pokémon above and above the quasi-Kings in various modified landscapes to retreat in order to prepare for the future ranking battle of the Heavenly Kings. Only a few "low-level" Pokémon such as Absol and Gyarados were left with him. Kemeng.

Although the main force is not here, the ghost-types still follow Yang Yan, so there is no need to worry about the lack of Pokémon to deal with any accidents.

Moreover, Yang Yan, who has been working between the city hall and the factory, rarely encounters problems that require Pokémon to be solved.

In the evening of that day, after being away for half a year, when I returned to the location of the gym that had been demolished into ruins, what I saw was a gym full of fire style, with red and white as the main tone, and a full appearance.

"Although I have seen the photos sent by my parents, I still think it is very good when I see it!" Yang Yan commented.

The gym hasn't opened yet, but most pedestrians can't help but stop for a few seconds when passing by, so much so that Yang Yan has to go through the back door if he wants to go in, otherwise he might cause some unnecessary trouble.

Another thing to mention is that because the gym was built here, many new stores have been added to the nearby streets. There were so many changes that it took Yang Yan a while to find the specific location of the back door.

At about the same time, my father and mother also walked to the back door.

"Xiao Yan, you are finally back. Come and take a look at this gym. How do you feel?" Dad happily pulled Yang Yan to visit.

"I haven't seen you in half a year, Dad, you have changed and become more confident!"

"That's right," Omu Yong laughed, "Now that I've become a gym leader, I can't just stand still. But if you're not a son, I really don't feel anything."

"Son, your dad has been working hard for the gym, and he has indeed learned a lot while working hard. Maybe this is why you think your dad has changed, although I actually don't feel anything..." Mom followed.

"Mom hit the nail on the head!" Yang Yan gave a thumbs up.

Omu Yong patted his son on the back, "Okay, don't be poor, let's go, I will take you to the gym for a nice walk!"

Although it's just a stroll, the interiors of the gyms are actually pretty much the same. In addition, because it is located in the city, the area is not very large, so it does not take much time to go back and forth.

Different from Chenghua Gym, Dad’s gym has a floor-type design.

The first floor is the reception area, the battle area, and the audience area. The second floor is the office area, living area, leisure area, and guest room area. The third floor belongs to their family alone.

At this time, Yang Yan and his parents were preparing to go to the top floor. Suddenly, his father's phone rang.

After connecting and hanging up, Omu Yu said: "The referee sent by the alliance has arrived, Xiaoyan, come with me to pick him up."

"it is good!"

Mom Reiko said: "Then I'll prepare dinner first so that I can entertain others."

There are only two essential people in the gym. One is naturally the gym leader himself, and the second is the referee with an official referee certificate.

One of the guest room areas on the second floor is mainly prepared for referees.

Of course, referees can also choose to live outside. There are no hard and fast rules on this.

It's just that most of the referees in the gym are basically apprentices trained by the gym leader, so they usually live in the gym. That is, only in newly established gyms, the relationship between the gym leader and the referee It will be more "formal".

When welcoming the formally dressed referee into the door, Yang Yan noticed that the person sent was actually a middle-aged woman.

This situation is rare.

After all, women usually won’t rashly go to a new city due to family reasons, especially older ones.

I don’t know what this person is like.

"Master Oki, I am the referee assigned to the White Flame Gym - Kinoshita Yu. It's our first meeting, please give me your guidance."

Ms. Kinoshita's attitude is very formal, and it is hard to tell what her personality is like for now, but she should be considered a stable type.

The "White Flame Gym" she mentioned was the name of the gym that Yang Yan decided after discussing with his parents. The emblem of the gym was also designed as a burning white flame. Although it was not a particularly elaborate one, it was at least simple and easy to remember.

This is very important for a new gym. This is from Qianli's advice.

"Hello, Ms. Kinoshita." Oki Yu simply shook hands with the other party, and then introduced: "This is my son, Oki Yohiko."

"Hello!" Yang Yan stepped forward and greeted the other party.

"This should be Professor Oak who has become quite famous recently. Nice to meet you!"

This statement was unexpected but also reasonable. Miss Kinoshita should have made special arrangements to learn about her family's situation before coming.

Perhaps that was why she specifically used "Master" and "Doctor" as suffixes to refer to the father and son respectively.

Otherwise, Yang Yan was prepared for the other party to call him "Mr. Little Oki".

"Thank you for the compliment. Just call me Yang Yan." Yang Yan did not put on airs because of the other party's compliment.

"By the way, why did Miss Kinoshita come so late?" As soon as he finished collecting, Oki realized that something was wrong, so he immediately changed his words, "I mean, the gym will open tomorrow... That's not right..."

"Master Oki, I understand what you mean." Miss Kinoshita did not misunderstand and said, "I came so late because, on the one hand, please forgive me for coming. My family and I just rented a house, which delayed us a lot of time. On the other hand, I also wanted to discuss tomorrow's matters with you in advance. After all, there should be a challenger coming tomorrow, so in order to avoid possible problems, I think it's best to communicate with you in advance."

"Well... okay, let's go upstairs and talk." Although Oki Yong felt that something was not right, what the other party said did make sense, so he went to the office.

Yang Yan immediately took out his mobile phone and went to the official website of the alliance to check the information of Miss Kinoshita.

For professions that are relatively open, such as gym owner and referee, it is not difficult to find out some things.

Yang Yan quickly found the information he wanted.

"It turns out that Miss Kinoshita has worked in many gyms!"

Although the gym masters' comments about her were not derogatory, Yang Yan still discovered from the different comments that Miss Kinoshita was probably a person with a rather serious personality.

"I guess she's not easy to get along with, so she was 'dismissed' from other gyms. I hope dad can get along well with her. Wish dad good luck!"

……

The conversation lasted for several hours and we even missed meal time.

After the conversation, when the mother invited Miss Kinoshita to stay for dinner, as Yang Yan had expected, she decisively chose to refuse.

After seeing them off, Oki Isamu sighed deeply, "This Miss Kinoshita is not easy to get along with!"

……

The next day soon came.

This was because this year's league conference had just ended and there was a "boom" in the number of new trainers. In addition, the new gym itself tends to attract attention, so the opening day was very lively.

Basically everyone who had nothing to do in Bai'an City came here.

In order to maintain order, Miss Junsha mobilized half of the police force in the police station to maintain order, and Yang Yan was naturally one of them.

Fortunately, most of the onlookers were "confined" to the audience seats, so no major problems occurred.

"Luckily, I asked my dad to capture some low-level Fire-type Pokémon as backup earlier, otherwise I might not be able to survive the day!" Yang Yan, who was traveling everywhere, saw his father who was already showing signs of fatigue on the scene, and sighed inwardly.

Although it is a new gym, there must be sufficient reserves of Pokémon of various levels, which is also Qianli’s reminder.

For this purpose, Ohki Isamu even took some time out to capture a group of fire-type Pokémon.

The most common one among them is the little fire horse.

Basically, each gym has its own "face" type Pokémon. The Orange Gym has the Sloth clan, and the White Flame Gym of Ohki has the Pony clan.

Although the Pyro family mainly lives in the Kanto region and is rarely seen in Hoenn, there are only three types of fire-type Pokémon in Hoenn. Excluding the starter Pokémon, the remaining two, Smooth Squirtle, which Ohki has never trained, and Slowpoke, are not suitable for raising in large numbers in the White Flame Gym. Secondly, Pyro is a Pokémon that grew up with Ohki and Yohiko, and they both think that this kind of companionship is the most important.

Therefore, Flamehorn will be the "main" Pokémon of the White Flame Gym.

In the future, when Oki Yu accepts apprentices in the gym, he will only pair them with Ponyta.

……

When the gym opens, it needs to welcome more than just challengers who come upon hearing the news. In fact, that is only a small part. Most of them come from businessmen, officials, celebrities, and many trainers and breeders around Bai'an City.

Of course, some of Yang Yan and his parents’ friends are also among them.

Except for some local people, Yang Yan found that most of the others who came to see him were actually himself.

He guessed that since the report came out, he had probably been "targeted" by many people.

It’s just that most people may not find a suitable excuse to visit, and the existence of the gym gives them the best opportunity.

And because he has been busy with the pharmaceutical factory, some interested people have probably already started paying attention to the progress of the factory, and they came this time to discuss cooperation.

It can be said that throughout the whole day, Yang Yan's life was not much easier than his father's.

……

Although it was a newly opened gym, the excitement did not dissipate after just one day.

Yang Yan was busy in the gym for almost a week before the gym returned to its normal "customer flow" level.

And a week later, he had to leave.

There are more important things waiting for him at the pharmaceutical factory.

"Mom and Dad, there are still many things waiting for you at the gym, so just send them here. I will come back after I finish the things over there, so you two can rest assured!"

Early in the morning, at the entrance of the gym, Yang Yan said goodbye to his parents again.
