Hammerlocke, the Londe Rosé Hotel.
This was the hotel where Steven was staying,
one of the finest hotels in Hammerlocke,
and one of the hotels the Master League provided for its competitors.
The Master League offered five hotels in total,
letting the competitors choose freely,
then booking rooms according to their requests.
Steven had paid extra himself to upgrade to the king suite.
Li Wei and Cynthia happened to be passing by and spotted Steven, Lance, and Lorelei coming out together.
"Got your luggage settled?"
"All done."
Cynthia, Diancie, Meloetta, Victini, and Hoopa each held a Three-Color Ice Cream.
Li Wei pointed at them. "The ice cream's pretty good. I recommend trying some later."
Li Wei, Lucario, Zeraora, and the others had naturally gotten some too, but they had already finished theirs...
Arcanine had even swallowed the whole thing in one bite.
As an ice cream enthusiast,
Cynthia also gave it a glowing recommendation.
"It's chimney ice cream. The top is cold,
but the cone is hot. It's delicious!"
"Give it a try."
Cynthia held her ice cream cone out to Lorelei, who reached out and lightly touched it.
"It really is warm."
"No rush. We can buy some later."
Li Wei asked, "Where are you headed?"
"Want to join us for coffee?"
Steven had discovered an interesting café.
"There's a Battle Café over there.
We were just about to go have some coffee."
Diagonally across from the Londe Rosé Hotel was a newly opened Battle Café, and judging by its décor, it looked quite nice.
Li Wei turned to Cynthia.
"Shall we check it out too?"
Lance raised his eyebrows teasingly.
"We wouldn't be interrupting anything?"
Cynthia couldn't help smiling.
"What would you be interrupting?"
If anything, the looks they received from passersby in Hammerlocke were far more intrusive.
