That night.
After dinner at Siebold's restaurant, Li Wei returned to Cynthia's villa.
"Give it your all tomorrow afternoon, Lucario!"
Lucario nodded firmly.
"Luca!"
Lucario looked at Metagross, Arcanine, and Dragapult. (Please help me keep training!)
The pressure Arcanine and the others put on him was already enough.
"Quack, quack!"
(I'm coming along to cheer you on!)
Lucario, Arcanine, and the others chose to train in a park in Lumiose City.
Soon, Li Wei was the only one left at home, like a lonely old man.
"I need to give it my all, too..."
The match was tomorrow afternoon, which meant Li Wei could get Lucario into peak condition tomorrow morning.
There were no Berries left in Li Wei's backpack, but that was hardly a problem. How could he possibly have trouble buying Berries in Lumiose City?
Li Wei immediately ordered various Berries online and selected home delivery for tomorrow morning.
Aside from that, he would also have to visit the morning market to buy ingredients for his specialty dishes.
Although Lucario had already eaten every specialty dish Li Wei had successfully made and received their permanent boosts.
Eating a specialty dish would still grant a corresponding temporary boost to combat ability.
That might be the key to Li Wei beating Siebold tomorrow.
Li Wei already knew which Pokémon he would use tomorrow. Both sides had shown their hands.
But Lucario's temporary boost would be Li Wei's secret weapon for winning.
Aside from that, Li Wei still had two unused Pokémon Item Prize Tickets.
He had received them yesterday for completing Professor Sycamore's task. With his busy schedule and all the time he had spent chatting in the group last night, he had forgotten to use them.
Now that he was thinking about ways to improve, he remembered them.
