Zhuqing Breeding Center.
Compared to Balu, who was disheveled in the wind, Comrade Wenhui was smiling so hard her face was cramping.
There were simply too many guests; Xiaorou and Gardevoir, plus two self-ordering machines, weren't enough!
So Comrade Wenhui and Li Wei's Lucario came to help.
Uncle did not even open his shop and stayed at the Breeding Center.
"Brother, if this keeps up, you won't need to open your shop; just stay here."
"Don't talk about it, my hair..."
(ಥ _ ಥ)
Li Wen ran a hand over his increasingly shiny head, on the verge of tears.
Looking at a single strand of hair in his palm, Comrade Li Wen wailed,
"Goodbye, Eleven!!!"
┭ ┮ ﹏ ┭ ┮
"..."
Comrade Leon fell silent, mourning his elder brother's hair for a second.
His brother actually named his hair.
He truly is my brother!
May it have a grand funeral!
"Make money, make money!"
Leon hummed a tune and walked away.
Another person who wanted to cry was Li Wei; his orders were booked for six months out, with a trend of extending into next year.
Why, you ask?
What others don't have, I do.
The answer is core competitiveness.
This is the Battle Man who has cared for Cynthia's Garchomp!
What Champion are you?
I am the SinnohChampion.
In the past, Cynthia would call people to her home to care for her Garchomp and other Pokemon.
But this time, Li Wei cared for Garchomp on an open sand dune.
Fans familiar with Cynthia know that this official account holder does not have her own social media account.
But her fans are dedicated to obtaining all information about her online.
Videos of Li Wei caring for Garchomp, Lucario, Glaceon, and other Pokemon were uploaded by customers and went viral overnight.
Multiple reasons can be summarized from the comment section.
Cynthia, Garchomp, Zhuqing Breeding Center, professionalism, and Li Wei's appearance.
Even Qinglv, Mikuri, and others were fanning the flames under the most popular videos.
Making the audience exclaim that this is true professionalism!
This also left Cynthia, who had just woken up, confused.
The scene Cynthia had imagined should have been Li Wei, Da You, Rui Xi, and Shion playing or training with Pokemon...
Everything was so relaxed and pleasant.
The result was a crowded Breeding Center.
Cynthia rubbed her sleepy eyes.
"What's going on? Why are there so many people?"
She doesn't browse Eevee Net or other similar apps.
Although she had registered an account named 'Cabbage Ice Cream' last night and followed Li Wei.
However, no one had time to explain to Cynthia for now; all the staff were busy.
Cynthia's phone received a message.
Li Wei: [Don't come out for now. Most of them are fans looking for you. We said you left for something.]
Knowing she doesn't browse social media, Li Wei even forwarded several videos to her.
All with very shocking titles.
"Champion-level Secret Leaked! Cynthia's Ace Pokemon Care Log Revealed for the First Time!"
"God-level Breeding Boosts Cynthia's Garchomp's Combat Power by 200%, Master LeagueChampion Title Potentially Changing Hands?!"
"Shocking! Garchomp Care Full Record: Cynthia's Exclusive Twelve Styles of Care!"
Cynthia fell silent.
What are the 'Exclusive Twelve Styles of Care'?
She doesn't even know them.
Kaluni also sent Cynthia a voice message.
Kaluni: "The titles are interesting. Qinglv and the others are still stirring things up below."
Cynthia could hear Kaluni's suppressed laughter.
Kaluni also thoughtfully sent Cynthia a screenshot of Qinglv's comment.
Qinglv: "This is the most professional Garchomp care I've ever seen."
Battle Man: "+1"
Mikuri: "+1"
Pewter Gym Leader Brock: "+1"
'Pinch Your Ears Qiu' replied to 'Qinglv': "Don't think I don't know you two know each other!"
Below, there were many more replies, with 'Pinch Your Ears Qiu' even explaining to others that Qinglv and Li Wei knew each other.
After watching the video, Cynthia murmured, "It seems like trouble..."
If there weren't too many fans, it would be fine, but this time there were simply too many.
Cynthia did not want to cause trouble for Li Wei's family because of herself.
Noon,
After a busy morning,
Cynthia looked apologetic: "I'm sorry for causing you trouble."
Li Wei smiled and shook his head: "Not only did you not cause trouble, you actually solved a big problem for us."
?
Cynthia was clearly confused.
After all, she didn't know that Tian Guan Breeding House was engaged in a price war.
The gold coins in Comrade Leon's eyes spun faster than a slot machine.
"What trouble? These are all money!"
Li Wen comforted her: "This isn't your fault either. Who would have thought a customer would film a video and upload it?"
Comrade Wenhui adjusted her glasses, "Everyone, work hard! I'll give everyone bonuses!"
"Awoooo!!!"
┗|｀O′|┛ Awooo~~~
As soon as they heard about bonuses, everyone became as excited as if they had been injected with stimulants.
Alright, Cynthia realized she had overthought things.
Cynthia proposed a solution,
"I should still go out and see them this afternoon. Otherwise, it will be difficult to work with all the fans here."
Brother Da You suggested: "Then let's hold an autograph session. Hmm, for you, it should be called a signing session."
Brother Da You was a three-time Champion of the Pokemon World Martial Arts Tournament, and his fan base was actually quite substantial.
Brother Da You volunteered: "If possible, I understand the autograph session process. I can handle it."
Cynthia thought about it; this seemed to be the best solution.
"Thank you, Mr. Da You."
Brother Da You waved his hand: "It's a small matter. Your Lucario has been teaching Incineroar these past two days, so consider it repayment."
Incineroar nodded,
"Gao! Gao!"
That's right! That's right!
Li Wei indicated: "Brother Da You, I'll help you."
"Come with me, let's decide on the location first."
"We'll use the first floor of the cafeteria. It has heating and seating, and we can even put out drinks for the fans. I'm a genius!"
From a narcissistic perspective, Brother Da You and Comrade Leon were evenly matched.
But Li Wei really couldn't refute him.
"To ensure Cynthia's safety, Garchomp and Lucario must be present."
"And keep a few other Pokemon to maintain order. Hmm... let's decide on Incineroar, Lucario, Machamp, and Scizor."
"Someone also needs to comfort the fans in line. Ask Li Meijie if she's willing. She's organized and approachable."
When it comes to approachability, Xiaorou is definitely the best, but Xiaorou needs to work at the front desk.
Nurse Joy could also do it, but Nurse Joy has work at the Pokemon Center and can't spare the time.
Li Meijie is in charge of warehouse entry and exit records. Today is mainly about reservations, so warehouse items aren't needed.
Brother Da You arranged everything clearly.
In the afternoon, a busy signing session was in full swing.
Brother Da You picked up the loudspeaker,
"Everyone, don't push. Safety first. Cynthia is right there and won't run away."
"You don't want your idol to be disappointed in you, do you?"
"..."
