Manalo Stadium.
Just as she had asked Professor Kukui and the others,
Lillie also tried asking Li Wei for advice.
Li Wei offered two suggestions.
First, determine the true nature of the Soul-Heart.
For example, was it artificial or natural?
That might help them find an alternative energy source.
Second, try using bonds and emotions.
They might prove to be an unexpected key.
Neither of these suggestions had occurred to Lillie, Lana, or the others before.
Even if he hadn't offered a concrete solution, he had given them new avenues to explore.
Li Wei also said he would ask Professor Oak and Professor Rowan for their opinions.
And whenever research came up, there was no forgetting Clemont, the Explosion Genius, or Team Rocket's researchers.
"Don't worry just yet. I'll ask around for you in a bit, and I'll be sure to tell you if I get an answer."
"Thank you, Teacher Li Wei!"
"Go on and enjoy yourselves."
Li Wei took out his phone, ready to ask around.
He had always been decisive and efficient.
Besides, he was pretty interested in Magearna himself.
If he had a daughter someday, he wanted to find a Magearna to give her.
As for a son, he could go play somewhere else.
Giving him a Pokémon was fine, but a Magearna was out of the question.
Faced with Lillie's problem concerning the Soul-Heart,
Li Wei got straight to work.
First, he sent Clemont a message.
[Are you free? Give me a call if you are.]
Clemont called back very soon.
"Mr. Li Wei, is something wrong?"
"Is that Mr. Li Wei on the phone? Big brother!!!"
Bonnie's voice soon came through from the other end. "Put it on speaker! Put it on speaker!"
"Mr. Li Wei, it's Bonnie!"
"Bonnie, it's been a while."
