Trainer? I'm just an ordinary hot spring owner.

"ghost------"

[Gars is exhausted, the battle is over]

Is this the end?

I got up and it was over in one second?

This is my series, it can kill someone in an instant, what a powerful force.

However, this is undoubtedly great news for Jiang Cheng. After all, the stronger his wings are, the safer he will be.

Looking at Gastly lying on the ground, Jiang Cheng couldn't bear to leave him there. He turned around, went to the kitchen, got an orange fruit, squatted down and fed it to him.

To be honest, it was not easy to find Gastly's mouth, especially after he fainted. Jiang Cheng almost fed the orange fruit into his eyes.

After eating an orange fruit, Gastly's condition obviously recovered a lot. After waking up and seeing Flutterbone again, his eyes became clear. It can be seen how much psychological damage Flutterbone's Shadow Ball brought to the young Gastly.

"Are you okay? If you are, you can leave, or do you want to stay here?"

Gastly originally wanted to do it as soon as possible, but when he heard Jiang Cheng's voice, his eyes immediately lit up and his face was full of anticipation: Is it okay?

No, I was just being polite, why did you take it so seriously? Is it too late to say no now?

Jiang Ben originally wanted to refuse, but then he changed his mind. Isn't his hot spring short of employees? Zhen Yifa's personality clearly doesn't seem like he can be a waiter. Why not keep him and let this Gastly be a waiter?

It seems that it is not impossible. If this healing room is specially used as a theme room for ghost-type Pokémon, wouldn't it be a good idea to have a Gastly waiter?

You only need to take care of three meals a day and you don’t even have to pay yourself a salary. How cool!

Well, that’s not the case. It should be said that we should tide over the difficulties together with the company!

"Of course, I don't have any Poké Balls here, I'll buy some for you later. But this is a hot spring resort, if you want to live here, you have to work in exchange for food, okay?"

"Ghost---?" (⊙_⊙)?

What is work?

"It's to give tree fruits to customers who come here, and help them solve problems they don't understand. It's very simple. You are provided with three meals a day, and you have two days off a week. You can go out and play as you like. You can stay here as long as you want. The only thing is that you can't absorb my life energy. How about it? Do you want to give it a try?"

Jiang Cheng patiently and persuadingly.

"Gars! (＾▽＾)"

I have a place to live, food to eat every day, and I can go out and play as I please. I just need to send some things. Is there such a good thing? ?

Come, of course, definitely come!!

"Then please give me your guidance, Gastly."

The employment relationship was happily established. Jiang Cheng found that Zhen Yifa was in a bad mood, so he handed the orange fruit in his hand to Gastly: "You are not in good condition now. Eat two orange fruits to replenish your energy. I will talk to you about work later."

"Ghost-ss!!"

"Come here, Flutterfat, I have something good for you!"

Jiang Cheng waved his hand and walked towards the kitchen. Zhen Yifa followed him without knowing why. He took out something from the cupboard like a magic trick: "Dangdang! Your favorite peach fruit."

"Thank you for your hard work in the battle. This is a reward for you!"

Zhen Yifa looked at the peach fruit in Jiang Cheng's palm and said, "What?"

"Hmm? Are you asking if this is given to you because of the victory in the battle? No!"

"You can eat it anytime you want. As long as I can afford it, I will buy it for you. You don't need to win the battle to give it to you because you are a Flutter Winged Hair."

"This is given to you by Zhenyifa because he protected me. I want to thank Zhenyifa."

"Speaking of which, Zhenyifa now has a new little brother. He won't ignore me, right? With a new little brother, Zhenyifa won't abandon me, right?"

"Unlike me, I only feel sorry for FaFa~~"

Chapter 15: Decoration

Although Pi will be beaten this time, he is really happy.

Looking at the angry Zhen Yifa, Jiang Cheng smiled awkwardly, bowed and returned to the healing room.

[Win a battle with the Wings Flying, experience increased]

[The level of the fluttering hair has been increased, current level: 17]

[Favourability improvement of Zhenyifa: Current favourability: 45]

After defeating several Bug-type Pokémon, plus today's Gastly, I was able to upgrade FlutterBlazer to level 17, which is pretty good. The coordination between FlutterBlazer and myself is also pretty good. Of course, it is also possible that this Gastly is too weak and didn't find anything at all.

So far, Jiang Cheng only knows one of the moves of Flutter Wing, the Shadow Ball, and knows nothing about the rest. If they want to fight side by side in the future, he needs to get to know her better.

While thinking this, Jiang Cheng was preparing to start his business again.

Because of the revenge he received from the dragon Messiah before, he didn't plan to receive the guests in person this time. It would be fine for him to just operate the whole process through the system.

At this moment, Gastly in the healing room had finished eating the orange fruit and was resting on top of the urn. The previous intense battle had really tired him out.

Looking at Gastly, who was lying on the original owner's mother's urn like a piece of black plasticine with his eyes closed, Jiang Cheng suddenly felt a very strange feeling in his heart.

Isn't it said that Gastly was transformed from the gas emitted by the cemetery due to its resentment? Is it possible that this Gastly was transformed from this old couple?

Jiang Cheng was soon amused by his own outrageous idea. How could it be possible? If there was to be any change, it would be when buried. How could it change only when cremated and burned to ashes?

But then he thought again and felt that this was not right. Wasn't he originally planning to open a hot spring therapy center? The first employee was a ghost, the second employee was also a ghost, the first customer he received was also a ghost, and his own therapy room was also in ghost style.

Damn, why does it feel like my house has turned into a haunted house?

"It's okay, Jiang Cheng. This is just a stopgap measure. Under the current circumstances, you don't have much choice. You must make good use of all the resources around you to accumulate initial capital. When you have money later, you can expand the scope, add different styles, and bring everything back to the proper range."

Jiang Cheng said to himself in his heart that he must now be firm in his belief and not forget his original intention to prevent his hot spring center from going in a strange direction. After all, he would have to open the doors to welcome ordinary tourists in the future. If people came in and found that this was a den of ghosts, it would be ruined.

By then, I will have no choice but to renovate the haunted house.

But it’s not a big problem now. The style of that healing room is set as ghost-type, so I can make the styles of other places a little warmer. In this way, the Ghost-type Pokémon Healing Center can also be used as a unique research place, allowing me to observe and record the ecological atmosphere and breeding needs of ghost-type Pokémon.

After all, even in the Pokémon world, this kind of elf is not widely loved and recognized by the general public. Such an unpopular species is obviously a topic that is easy to produce results! Isn't this going to write eight or ten chapters of his SCI?

Oh, the research mind strikes again.

Jiang Cheng has a good ability of self-regulation. If not, he would have collapsed long ago due to the bad data and ugly pictures he produced over the years. While opening the system, Jiang Cheng thought about using the ten gold coins he had been rewarded with to decorate the hot spring hall a little bit before starting business.

2 gold coins for a brand new large linen carpet, 1 gold coin for a green plant hanging basket component for the bar.

4 gold coins, four bar stools. The previous ones were recycled for 2 gold coins. These chairs have been here for who knows how long. They creak when you sit on them. It would be more reliable to replace them with new ones. After all, the stools are not worth much. If the reputation is ruined, everything will be ruined.

I spent another gold coin and got a few Pokémon paintings to hang on the wall.

There were 4 gold coins left, and Jiang Cheng spent two of them to buy sea blue wallpaper and a bar counter ornament of a small Windy Dog.

The little Windy Dog is made of jade and is emerald green all over. Jiang Cheng uses it as a Pixiu. After all, there is no Guandi here, so he might as well put a Pixiu there as a token of his respect.

When opening a business, you still have to pay attention to this aspect.

The mythical beast Pixiu has no eyes and can only go in but not out. It points its head toward the outside of the store, symbolizing the attraction of wealth and fortune. Once money comes, it will be retained and will not flow out anymore.

Of course, Arcanine still has butt eyes, but since they are not engraved on this ornament, just pretend they don’t exist.

At this point, 10 gold coins were spent, and there was still one gold coin left. The other things were relatively expensive, so let's just leave it like this for now. The welcome bar part of the store was considered decorated. As for the interior of the healing room, Jiang Cheng planned to observe it more before making any decoration plans.

He has also worked as a consultant for the zoo with his mentor, working with the zoo's architectural designers to help them provide guidance on animal enrichment as much as possible while satisfying tourists' viewing pleasure.

When it comes to animal enrichment, it is most taboo to just do it at will. It requires a wealth of animal-related knowledge. Some creatures, although they live in dry climates, actually their main habitat is still in moist woodlands. If you cover them with sand, problems will arise.

The academic rigor of his previous life made Jiang Cheng also maintain rigor when dealing with Pokémon. In this state, if he wants the healing room to meet the living needs of ghost Pokémon, he needs to observe and collect data to understand what these ghost Pokémon like and dislike, what kind of environment makes them feel uneasy, and what kind of environment makes them feel comfortable.

These tasks should have been tedious and abstract, because wild animals cannot speak, and you can only make judgments by observing their reactions, but Pokémon is different, they can give you suggestions.

If they feel uncomfortable, they will speak. They possess very advanced intelligence, which is far superior to those reptiles whose brains are smaller than walnut kernels.

What's more, on this basis, there is also a plug-in to visualize the system status.

Isn't this the all-seeing eye? It can tell the other party's state at a glance. What a perfect scientific research auxiliary tool for observing animal behavior.

While Jiang Cheng was daydreaming, he opened the system and clicked to start business.

"Pokémon Hot Spring (bubbling sound), start!!"

Chapter 16: New Customer, Gah Gah

When opening the business, Jiang Cheng also changed the content of the previous bulletin board. The new content of the bulletin board was: New store opening, we hope that customers will provide more suggestions.

Everything is ready, it's time to wait for the opening. Lying on the brand new bed he just bought, Jiang Cheng closed his eyes and started today's business.

As expected, there was another long waiting period after the opening, and Jiang Cheng checked the data of his Gastly during this time.

[Do you want to set Gastly as a store clerk?]

Be

[Gars, you have set me as a clerk at the healing center]

【Ghost】

[Category: Gas Pokémon]

【Level: 21】

[Gender: Male]

[Attribute: Ghost/Poison]

[Characteristic: Floating]

[Character: Timid]

【Height: 1.3m】

[Weight: 0.1KG]

[Body shape: spherical]

[Favorability: 20 (You are a good person, I follow you)]

[Current state: full, lazy]

Gastly is 1.3 meters tall? Only slightly smaller than Twister. I didn't realize it before. Does that include the air mass?

Moreover, its level was actually 21, which was almost on the verge of evolution, but it was killed instantly by a flap of its wings. It can only be said that apart from the powerful force of its flap of wings that could send a huge brick flying, Gastly's special defense of 35 points was really terrible.

The floating characteristic, what a great characteristic. Who would have thought that after evolving into Gengar, it would become a cursed body?

At this stage, Gastly's functionality is not very strong. After it evolves into Haunter or even Gengar, it will have living air conditioning, mobile storage boxes, space retrieval, tongue licking and paralysis...

The last one seems to be a little bit wrong, but that doesn’t matter. These qualities that are insignificant to combat are actually excellent qualities in the hot spring business.

Especially the point that as long as it exists in one place, the surrounding temperature will automatically drop by 10 degrees. It is hard to say about other areas, but in Alola, where there is long summer all year round, it is simply a magical skill.

How much air conditioning electricity bill can be saved?

Not to mention that Gengar's stomach is like an ultimate refrigerator with a huge capacity, which is a must-have Pokémon for traveling.

Just for this functionality, you have to train Gastly. Besides, how cute is the purple fat guy?

[Young Gala Gala has arrived]

[Galala's status: sad/tired/painful]

[Please provide healing services to Gala Gala and make it healthy and full of vitality! ]

Gala Gala?

Shouldn't this thing be of the ground type? This is a ghost type hotel, and there are no ground type rooms. What should I do?

While Jiang Cheng was thinking, he saw the arrival of Galagala on the interface.

Soon, a small creature with a black back and a white belly entered the indoor scene. It had the skull of some creature on its head. There were black flame-like patterns on its skull. It looked like a small upright dinosaur with bone-like patterns on its back. It held a bone stick in its hand with a blue flame that continued to burn on it.

"So it's the Alola form of Garagara..."

In addition to evolutionary forms, Pokémon also has a regional form. Just like oranges grown in the south are oranges and oranges grown in the north are tangerines, the same species will undergo adaptive evolution in different regions due to the unique local ecological environment. Regional form is something similar.

Unlike ordinary Gallax, which is a ground-type Pokémon, the Alola region's Gallax is a ghost-type and fire-type Pokémon. Their original habit of putting their dead mother's soul bones on their heads remains the same, but the Alola region's Gallax will put their mother's skull on their heads and then turn their mother's soul into cursed fire, igniting the bones in their hands as weapons, truly exploding all of Olden's gold coins.

Of course, that's just a joke. When Garagara uses this kind of fire, it will also cause great harm to its body and mind. The reason for doing this is that the living environment of Alola is too harsh, and there are grass-type Pokémon everywhere. This forces them to evolve such extreme methods in order to survive and the next generation to ensure the reproduction of the species.
