In the hotel.
After the Anistar Conference ended, faced with Kalos region reporters swarming around him, Su Hao chose to have Lucario Teleport him away.
After shaking off the reporters, Su Hao did not linger outside and checked directly into a hotel.
The hotel Su Hao chose was considered Anistar City's most famous and best-reviewed establishment.
Naturally, its prices were also steep.
The hotel stood not far from the Giant Sundial.
According to the receptionist who handled his check-in,
the hotel's most expensive and popular rooms offered both a sea view and a view of the Giant Sundial gathering light energy toward the ring-shaped structure at exactly eight every night, setting it in motion.
Unfortunately, by the time the Anistar Conference ended and Su Hao found the hotel to check in, it was already well past eight.
The receptionist said he had missed the Giant Sundial's daily spectacle, which lasted only ten minutes.
Su Hao did not really react to that.
He had not decided which city or region to visit after the Anistar Conference anyway, and Ash had not contacted him either. He could slack off for a day, watch the Giant Sundial, and leave Anistar City afterward.
After washing up, Su Hao lay refreshed on the hotel's large soft bed when his Rotom Phone vibrated twice.
Using Psychic-type power to pull the Rotom Phone in front of his eyes, Su Hao opened the message that had just arrived.
After reading its contents, he raised an eyebrow.
That was fast. The Pokémon Battle Commission was still working this late?
The new message had indeed been sent by the Pokémon Battle Commission.
``` Dear Trainer Mr. Su Hao,
Following an evaluation by the Pokémon Battle Commission after the Anistar Conference, your Pokémon World Championship ranking has risen from 252,525th
