The Jubilife Breeding Center.
Wanting to protect the Carbink staying at the Breeding Center, Diancie had expressed a desire to grow stronger.
Li Wei was training with Diancie.
Meanwhile, Sinnoh NOW released its morning news bulletin.
The cafeteria.
Li Wei's parents, his Elder Uncle and Elder Aunt, Dayou, Mizuki, and the other employees were all having breakfast in the cafeteria.
Yuka, the Sinnoh NOW reporter whom Li Wei had met a few times, was presenting the news in office attire.
"Good morning, viewers. This is Sinnoh NOW's morning news. The once-in-a-thousand-years comet is expected to appear on the evening of October 7..."
"In the western sky after sunset, with the estimated viewing window running from 7:30 p.m. until the early hours of the following morning..."
"The best viewing locations include the western foothills of Mt. Coronet, the northern outskirts of Jubilife City, Eterna City, Floaroma Town, and Canalave City..."
After reporting on the once-in-a-thousand-years comet, Yuka moved straight on to the next story.
However, Li Wei's parents, Dayou, Mizuki, and the others had their attention firmly fixed on the comet.
"A once-in-a-thousand-years comet?"
Mizuki remarked, "It really makes you think of the legend of Jirachi."
The legend of Jirachi was hardly a mystery.
A researcher specializing in astronomy had already observed it and written a detailed observational report, which had been well received at a forum summit.
Mizuki had read that article before.
Dayou suggested, "Why don't we watch it together that night? The Breeding Center's a pretty good viewing spot."
"Good idea!"
Shiyin thrust her right hand into the air. "I want to see it!"
Dayou's suggestion immediately won everyone's support.
Li Wei murmured, "A once-in-a-thousand-years comet?"
Could this comet have something to do with Jirachi?
Talk of a thousand years and a comet always brought Jirachi to mind.
