Manalo Stadium.
"Go on, go on."
Mallow had just come to see Li Wei.
She would not be coming over to practice cooking that evening.
Lusamine had invited them all to dinner,
to celebrate Ash's victory.
Li Wei nodded. "Just enjoy yourselves these next few days. Don't worry about practicing."
"Yes, Teacher!"
With Lusamine and Professor Mohn looking after Ash and the others, Li Wei had nothing to worry about.
"I won't disturb you all, either. I'll go have a chat with Professor Magnolia. I'm rather interested in Dynamax, too."
Professor Oak had not come just to watch the matches.
He had also come for the Dynamax research.
Blue was involved in that project as well.
But Blue had no time to spare for it at the moment.
His attention was still focused on the Master League. The Dynamax research would have to wait until it was over.
"Shall we eat together, then?"
Li Wei invited Red, Blue, Steven, Diantha, and the others. There were not many of them.
It was just everyone competing in the Master League, along with Brock, Yellow, Blue, Akin, Silver, and Crystal.
Akin had not entered the Master League that year. He had already realized that formal battles did not suit him.
So he had sensibly decided not to participate.
With Brock and Roland helping cook, the preparations went quickly.
To thank Diantha, Li Wei had gotten up that morning to prepare some dessert ingredients.
Most of them only needed another step or two to finish.
After all, she had given him Magearna's Soul-Heart.
Bruno had been eliminated in the Top 32 and had gone off to train instead of coming to the Galar Region.
"Let's go to our place."
"Sure."
But Li Wei soon sent Roland away.
"Go study Raihan."
"Mm... all right!"
