Lìmonè's home.
In Lumiose City, where every inch of land cost a fortune, Lìmonè owned a two-story villa with a yard in the city center.
It was the fruit of his hard work.
As a father, Lìmonè had already given Clemont and Bonnie the best he could.
"Clemont and Bonnie are still at the Gym. They probably won't be back until later."
Li Wei nodded. "How should we explain how we met?"
Lìmonè waved a hand. "No need to explain too much. Just say we ran into each other on the street and I recognized you."
"All right."
Stepping into the entryway, Lìmonè called out:
"I'm home!"
A middle-aged woman in casual house clothes came over, her long blond hair tied in a bun.
She was Lìmonè's wife, Lola.
Lola was smiling, but she looked a little taken aback when she saw Li Wei carrying groceries.
"You're back. And this is...?"
Lìmonè introduced them.
"This is my wife, Lola. This is Li Wei, the famous Pokémon Breeder Bonnie is always talking about."
"He's having dinner with us today, and he's even going to cook!"
Lola's eyes narrowed into a smile.
"Then I'm sure Bonnie will be delighted."
Naturally, the customary Pokémon introductions couldn't be skipped.
"You're truly beautiful, Diancie."
(Thank you for the compliment.)
Diancie lifted her skirt and curtsied.
Hearing Diancie's clear, bell-like voice, Lola looked slightly startled. "This little one can talk?"
Li Wei explained, "No, this is Telepathy. Only a small number of Pokémon can do it."
(I can too! I can too!)
Shaymin eagerly showed off as well.
(Hello.)
Lucario also offered a greeting.
"This is what you call... a small number?"
Lola asked the question in all sincerity.
"..."
Having only recently taken over the Gym, Clemont was extremely conscientious and often didn't return until
