May 9, Jubilife Breeding Center.
Li Wei was diligently practicing making Poffins.
There were no restrictions on what contestants could make in the semifinals.
Under rules like these,
the strong had a greater advantage, while the weak were more likely to reveal their shortcomings.
Clearly, the idea was to make the semifinalists go all out and compete with whatever they did best.
Everyone who reached the semifinals had a specialty or two.
Ge Li, one of the four semifinalists, excelled at making Pokémon curry, while Sasha specialized in desserts.
With her glasses and scholarly appearance, Lalami seemed like a slightly downgraded version of Li Wei across the board.
Li Wei still hadn't figured out exactly what she specialized in, though he hadn't seen her make Pokéblocks either.
Those specialties had actually started showing even earlier.
Akin excelled at hatching eggs, while Suzie and Bali specialized in Pokémon hairstyling.
Incidentally, Bali had already come to the Jubilife Breeding Center and sought out Li Wei's Elder Uncle to learn from him.
Elder Uncle hadn't turned him down.
After all, Bali planned to return to the Kalos Region and open a shop after finishing his studies.
Their family intended to stick with the Jubilife Breeding Center and had no plans to open branches, so there wasn't much conflict of interest.
If he excluded the Special Cuisine Pokédex,
Li Wei's greatest specialty was undoubtedly Pokéblocks.
Pokéblocks (top-tier): With your exquisite skills, you have a greater than 66% chance of producing perfect-quality Pokéblocks (164,397/1,000,000)
As Li Wei continued making Pokéblocks, his chances of producing perfect-quality ones kept rising.
That was also thanks to the support of his three super VIPs-Lance, Cynthia, and Steven-for his perfect-quality Pokéblocks.
On top of that, the high-quality Pokéblocks Li Wei made sold out soon after being listed.
