Jubilife Pokémon Theme Park.
The Alola Region's Master League Points Tournament would open tomorrow, but that had nothing to do with Li Wei.
He wouldn't be competing on the first day.
Although, given his fame, having Li Wei compete in the opening match would have been the better choice.
But Li Wei had other things to keep him busy this week. He had a celebration banquet to host.
On the night Ash's Rockruff evolved,
at the Pokémon Theme Park in Jubilife City,
the lights shone brightly, and laughter filled the air.
A grand celebration banquet for "Pokémon FireRed/LeafGreen" was underway.
Streamers and balloons decorated the venue, while a giant screen cycled through classic scenes from the games and screenshots of glowing player reviews.
As the host and one of the Studio's key figures, Li Wei mingled with the guests.
He had invited the entire development team,
the park's employees, and Cynthia, Professor Rowan, Professor Carolina, and others.
Although excavation of the ruins associated with Hisui Goodra was still ongoing, Professor Rowan and Professor Carolina had come at Li Wei's enthusiastic invitation.
And for a while starting tomorrow,
Cynthia certainly wouldn't have time to take part in the excavation or the selection of Goomy.
Tomorrow marked not only the opening match of the Alola Region's Master League, but also the opening match of the Midseason Championship.
The Midseason Championship would be held at Indigo Plateau, with the top two competitors on each Regional Division's points leaderboard attending as representatives.
The regions represented by the champion and runner-up would earn two additional slots between them.
For example, if Cynthia finished in the top two, Sinnoh's original four slots would increase to five.
Each region could gain no more than one additional slot,
so even if Blue and Red took first place
