Inside Jubilife Pokémon Theme Park,
At the Hot Spring Wellness Center,
Xiao Rou, whose affinity was off the charts, and Dayou, who had more than enough muscle to back him up, were in charge of keeping order.
Incineroar, Lucario, Zeraora, and Sirfetch'd also volunteered to help keep order.
Xiao Rou was no longer a receptionist. She was now part of management, overseeing reception for the entire Breeding Center.
At that moment, long lines stretched outside the Hot Spring Wellness Center, but they weren't made up of tourists or customers.
They were flower baskets.
Looking out to either side of the Hot Spring Wellness Center's impressive entrance,
All sorts of congratulatory flower baskets formed two long, winding lines, making for a spectacular sight.
They drew the attention of the arriving tourists.
"That one's from Professor Oak!"
"Professor Rowan!"
"Bill? What does he research?"
"Whoa!!! The president of Celadon University!"
"This one's from Professor Sycamore!"
"Hey, Galar's Champion Leon!"
"Didn't Li Wei knock him out of the tournament? He still sent one?"
"Friendship first, competition second!"
"Devon Corporation. No surprise there. Who doesn't know how close Li Wei and Steven are?"
"???"
The names on the two rows of flower baskets included leading figures from every region,
The Elite Four and Champions of Sinnoh, Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Unova, Kalos, Alola, and even Galar,
As well as leading authorities from regional Pokémon research labs, such as Professor Birch, Kukui, and Professor Sycamore.
They silently demonstrated Li Wei and Cynthia's extensive connections and outstanding reputations throughout the Pokémon world.
"Team Rainbow Rocket's secretarial office..."
"Team Rainbow Rocket's involved too?"
"Don't you know how impressive Team Rainbow Rocket's construction business is these days?"
"No. How impressive?"
"This impressive!"
His companion gave a thumbs-up.
Team Rainbow Rocket's construction business could now be called the industry leader
