Jubilife Breeding Center.
To welcome their guests, Lucario, Diancie, and the others paused their training.
Only Shaymin was still engrossed in playing hide-and-seek with Turtwig and Eevee.
After meeting Diancie, Valerie had agreed to pass on all her expertise in raising Fairy-type Pokémon to Li Wei and sent him a file right away.
"She's the Pokémon with the most abundant Fairy-type energy I've ever seen, bar none."
That was perfectly normal.
Professor Sycamore had said the same thing when he recorded Diancie's data.
The main reason was that Diancie could only be born within a Carbink population living somewhere rich in Fairy-type energy.
The fact that she had become Diancie meant her Fairy-type energy already exceeded normal limits.
Valerie gave her an exceptionally high appraisal.
"With enough practice, if she learns to wield that energy flexibly, Diancie should be able to surpass Champion Diantha's Gardevoir."
People might poke fun at Kalos all the time, but Diantha's Gardevoir was still genuinely Champion Tier.
(Thank you!)
Diancie was very pleased with that assessment.
Besides Valerie, Erika had something to discuss, too.
Erika smiled gently. "You know I also hold a position at Celadon University, don't you?"
"Of course."
Erika made her request.
"The students at Celadon University really like you.
On behalf of the university's president, I'd like to invite you to serve as a special lecturer and teach a two-week course on Pokémon breeding..."
"Naturally, you'll be compensated. You'll be free to choose from Celadon University's warehouse, and the Pokémon at our Pokémon Day Care will be among your options, too..."
Erika wasn't acting on her own initiative or making empty promises. She had the authorization of Celadon University's president.
"I think your instruction would benefit our students for the rest of their lives, whether they're studying battling or Pokémon breeding."
