The Breeding Center.
The Breeding Center had lakes-three of them, in fact-with rivers connecting them.
Li Wei had gone swimming there before when he had nothing to do, but he had never tempted fate by swimming through the underground rivers connecting them.
Milotic had warned Li Wei about them.
The Breeding Center had an inflatable pool eight meters square and 1.5 meters high. It only needed to be filled to a depth of 1.2 meters.
Lycanroc stood 0.8 meters tall from paws to shoulders, and with someone watching, there should be no problems.
"Milotic, Buizel, Water Gun!"
Milotic and Buizel stood on higher ground and fired Water Guns into the inflatable pool.
With Milotic and Buizel working together, the eight-meter-square inflatable pool was finally filled.
Every time Li Wei saw something like this, he couldn't help marveling at how incredible Pokémon were.
With Pokémon around, fire departments didn't even need fire engines. A squad of Squirtle would do the job.
An Electivire could generate enough electricity to power an entire city. It was downright fantastical.
"Thanks, Milotic, Buizel."
"Mii~"
"Weiwei!"
Buizel waved a paw.
"In you go, Lycanroc!"
Except... Lycanroc couldn't climb in.
After a Herculean effort, Li Wei, who had changed into shorts, managed to lift Lycanroc into the pool.
"Get moving, get moving."
At Li Wei's direction, Lycanroc began swimming.
The good news was that despite having eaten enough to get this fat, Lycanroc was still willing to move. That meant helping Lycanroc lose weight wouldn't be too difficult.
The biggest obstacle to losing weight wasn't eating too much, but not wanting to move.
Though this might be a long-term process.
Li Wei's goal was to get Lycanroc out of the pool before the weather turned cold-in other words, before January next year.
After that, Lycanroc could lose
