That evening, at the Jubilife Breeding Center.
The Pokémon Summer Camp would officially begin the next day.
The eight camp counselors studying at Jubilife University had arrived that afternoon.
Mizuki and Dayou had shown them around that afternoon, helping them get acquainted with the Breeding Center.
The staff from the Rowan Research Institute had all arrived by evening, so everyone gathered for a simple meal and a chance to get to know one another.
"I'm Yumi, the head chef in charge of the children's meals this time. I look forward to working with you all."
Yumi was a middle-aged woman wearing glasses, and she had brought four apprentices with her.
"We look forward to working with you all!"
The four apprentices introduced themselves as well.
Part of the Breeding Center's cafeteria would be set aside for them to prepare the children's three daily meals.
For this Pokémon Summer Camp run by the Rowan Research Institute,
Section Chief Zoro had also placed great importance on it, sending Jubilife's Officer Jenny and two officers to remain on standby here.
"I'm Officer Jenny Rie, a police inspector from Jubilife City. My two colleagues, Victor and Blair, and I will be responsible for the camp's security during this period."
Victor and Blair were regular patrol officers.
"I'm Nurse Joy Xuelan, in charge of treating Pokémon. Feel free to bring your Pokémon to me anytime."
"Lucky~"
"I'm Rena, the Breeding Center's Pokémon doctor."
Rena had only been hired recently. She was highly qualified, and they had also considered that they couldn't keep troubling Nurse Joy all the time.
After Professor Rowan's three assistants introduced themselves,
Professor Rowan raised his teacup and looked around at everyone. "Thank you all very much for your help. A toast to you."
"And my sincere thanks to the Breeding Center
