Oreburgh Gym.
"So this is Oreburgh Gym, roto!"
The Pokédex Rotom curiously took pictures of its surroundings.
This was the first time the Pokédex Rotom had accompanied Li Wei to a Gym.
Walking beside Li Wei were Lucario and a Galarian Farfetch'd dragging its Leek.
Roark stepped forward with a shovel over his shoulder and smiled. "Long time no see, Li Wei. I never expected you to want to challenge a Gym."

"Understood. Let's battle."
Roark blinked at the look in Li Wei's eyes.
Although Roark considered Li Wei more of a breeder,
he could still sense Li
