After briefly exploring the hidden cave, Bai Hong turned around and used a Poké Ball to bring in Charizard, Sceptile, Swampert, and Diamond Steelix, then fed them a Miniature Berry and a Float Berry.
At first, Jirachi was reluctant to try, but after seeing that Bai Hong's Pokémon had all learned the Shrink move and gained the Levitate ability that could only be manifested when shrunken, it finally began to waver.
"I'll try some too!"
It forced itself to eat it.
Anyway, it tastes bland.
It's better to chew it a couple of times and swallow it.
After a while, its body indeed shrank and became lighter, only slightly smaller than an apple it usually eats, not much different from Gengar.
Jiejiejie~
Gengar is pulling Jirachi along.
Spinning in the air.
"Get away!"
Jirachi didn't want to play with it.
She broke free with disgust.
But Gengar is like a stubborn plaster.
No matter how hard I try, I can't shake them off.
Look at it!
Kirachi complained to Bai Hong.
I feel like I'm about to cry from anger.
"Gengar!"
Bai Hong roared angrily.
It doesn't seem like he's pretending.
Hey~
Gengar immediately backed down.
They dared not tease Kirachi.
After all, there's a limit to fooling around.
To avoid Gengar, Jirachi and Hoshiguma are inseparable, even following him when he goes to Ebony City to find a Pokémon construction crew.
There are many construction companies in Ebony City, but the vast majority of construction teams work with Pokémon, and the Pokémon take over the heavy work that the construction workers cannot do.
He was looking for a construction team that didn't have any construction workers, only Pokémon. He made a very high request, and the construction company managers all shook their heads, saying they couldn't do it.
Since it can't be found in Baitan City.
Then let's go to another city.
Miare City isn't far from Sandalwood City. At 2 PM, he flew there on his fire-breathing dragon to continue contacting other construction companies.
But before that, let's contact someone using Rotom on our phones: "Yongxin, are you in Miare City?"
"Of course I'm here!"
"Okay, I'll come find you."
The person on the other end of the phone was very excited. He immediately dropped what he was doing and rushed over, without needing to explain anything about the shop.
This man, named Yongxin, received guidance and help from Bai Hong during the lowest point in his life. He now runs a department store, selling items at much lower prices than the Friendship Store, and his business is booming.
Yongxin is eight years older than Bai Hong.
I used to be a trainer.
In the end, he didn't make a name for himself.
Forced by the need to make a living, I changed careers.
"Brother, what brings you here? Let's grab a bite to eat. I know a new restaurant that just opened up around here." Yongxin immediately tried to pull Bai Hong to eat, since they hadn't seen each other in a long time.
"Let's put the food aside for now. You should have connections in Lumiose City. Could you help me find a Pokémon construction team—a Pokémon construction team without construction workers? I want to build a duplex cabin," Bai Hong stated his purpose directly.
"A Pokémon construction team without construction workers? There are some, but they don't seem very professional. They leave a construction company to work independently, and all the Pokémon they have can do some work." Yongxin looked surprised and puzzled.
"Private?"
"Yes!"
"Take me to him now."
“Alright, I remember that person moved to the suburbs because he couldn’t afford the expensive rent a while ago.” Yongxin wasn’t new to Bai Hong; he often had strange and unusual ideas in his head.
Chapter 16 The Pokémon Construction Team Arrives
The outskirts of Miare.
There aren't many houses.
The landscaping project was done very well.
As the most bustling city in the Kalos region, Luna City is lined with all kinds of shops, and many important facilities such as the Luna City Gym and the Pokémon Research Institute are also located here.
There is a Prism Tower in the city center, where the Luna City Gym is located. The Gym Leader is Clemont, who is particularly skilled with Electric-type attacks.
Bai Hong glanced back at the Prism Tower. He was surprised to see this iconic building in the suburbs. It was a pity he didn't have time now, otherwise he would definitely have visited it.
"That's the one up ahead."
As Yongxin spoke, he went over and knocked on the door.
Actually, you don't need to knock.
The superhuman strength is in the yard.
You can see it through the railing.
Ni?
The superhuman strength didn't open the door.
Instead, he turned around and went inside to call for help.
A short while later, a middle-aged man dressed simply came out. He looked somewhat haggard and his voice was slightly hoarse.
"Who is it?"
"I'm here to find the Pokémon construction team."
"The gate to the courtyard is unlocked, please come in." This middle-aged man was quite laid-back; he didn't bother to show any enthusiasm to the guests, merely gesturing with his eyes for Guai Li to make tea.
"Hello, my name is Yongxin, and this is my good brother Bai Hong. He heard that you have a Pokémon construction team here, so he came here. He wants to build a duplex wooden house, on the condition that the construction workers cannot participate."
On the way here.
They have already discussed it.
Bai Hong trusted Yongxin's character. In the two years since he transmigrated, he hadn't made many friends, and most of them were just casual acquaintances. He had known Yongxin for a year and could be considered a close friend.
"You mean to take my Pokémon construction team away, finish the work, and then return them?" The middle-aged man paused, his tone slightly hesitant.
His name is A Lei.
I am not married yet.
Quitting your job and going solo isn't as easy as you might imagine. Even with a Pokémon construction team, you can't get high-paying jobs, and doing odd jobs doesn't earn you any money. Making a living has become a problem.
"Yes! That's exactly what I mean. You don't need to worry about us kidnapping the Pokémon construction team. Bai Hong just defeated Leon a while ago and won the title of the strongest champion. You can check it online if you don't believe me." Yongxin saw the concerns in A Lei's heart.
Generally speaking.
The construction team must have a supervisor.
Even if it's a Pokémon construction team, you can't expect Pokémon to supervise the work, since it's not the Pokémon that earns the money.
He was in charge of supervising the construction.
What kind of communication do we usually have?
You can connect with him.
If there is no supervisor.
The construction progress cannot be guaranteed.
"Please wait!"
A Lei turned and went back into the house.
I guess I went online to search for information.
After a while, he came out of the house with a friendly expression, his attitude having completely changed.
"So you're the strongest champion. If you're not worried about delaying the construction schedule, you can take the Pokémon construction team with you. However, the price is a bit high. I wonder if you can accept that?"
Name your price.
Bai Hong was not verbose at all.
Listen to the price first, then discuss the price.
"The construction cost for building a duplex wooden house is 10 League Coins, and taking the Pokémon construction team with you will require an additional 5 League Coins." A-Lei didn't ask for an exorbitant price; his offer was fair.
Compare construction companies.
If the price is too high, it loses its advantage.
He understood that.
"Okay, then let's go with the price you said." Bai Hong thought the other party would ask for an exorbitant price, but it turned out to be only slightly lower than the construction company's price. The reason for this was that they didn't have to pay the construction workers' wages.
"I'll go back inside and print the contract." Lei bought a computer and printer from a secondhand store specifically for printing contracts.
"it is good!"
Bai Hong responded.
