July 27, Jubilife Breeding Center.
However reluctant everyone was to say goodbye, this year's Pokémon Summer Camp had come to an end.
The children from Meria House boarded the bus.
"We'll miss you, Teacher Cynthia!"
"Goodbye, Teacher Steven!"
"Thank you, Professor Rowan!"

After the attack on the Breeding Center and Li Wei's two arrests of code-named Pokémon Hunters,
