May 19, sunny.
Jubilife Pokémon Theme Park.
Li Wei had planned to sleep in for the first time in ages, but Victini dragged him out of bed.
"Kimi!"
As requested the night before, Li Wei was to take Victini around the entire Theme Park.
After giving himself five seconds to mentally prepare, Li Wei climbed out of bed.
Cynthia had gotten up even earlier and already returned to Lily of the Valley Island for work.
After stretching, Li Wei quickly washed up.
"Let's go."
Before leaving, Li Wei reminded Victini, "You'll meet quite a few people, but they're all visitors and staff. There's no need to worry."
"Melo~ Melo!"
Meloetta nodded in agreement.
Meloetta had also been a little worried when first arriving at the Theme Park, but had gradually settled in.
Li Wei's parents handled most of the staff recruitment.
He had to admit, they were pretty good at hiring people.
Their main hiring criteria weren't ability, but character and a love for Pokémon.
Ability could be developed.
But if someone lacked heart, they might never find it in their entire life.
The staff greeted Li Wei warmly.
"Morning, young boss!"
"Hello, Park Director!"
The staff had all sorts of names for Li Wei. Even some who were older than him called him Big Brother Wei...
Li Wei could only say that there was really no need.
Li Wei pointed at Victini, who was perched on his shoulder.
"This is Victini. Say hello."
A young female employee smiled. "We already know!"
Li Wei: "?"
Mizuki explained, "That airport photo of you with Victini on your head has already spread all over the internet."
Mizuki had clearly come prepared. She even had the photo saved in her gallery.
"Perfect. That saves me the trouble of explaining."
Li Wei took Victini
