January 18, Mirror Lake Island.
Alongside the research into Giant Dragonite, work was also underway at Mirror Lake Island's Cave Ruins.
Li Wei, Steven, and Cynthia had already spent several days here. They had pitched tents on the mountaintop, eating and sleeping alongside the other researchers.
It was very safe here. The Pokémon in the mountain forests still remembered Li Wei and the others, who had helped them.
So whenever Li Wei stepped out of his tent in the morning, he always found a pile of Berries waiting in front of him.
This was the wild Pokémon's simple way of showing their gratitude.
Li Wei had also caught a slow-moving Teddiursa, because it had come to steal the Berries...
Of course, Li Wei hadn't given Teddiursa a hard time. He had simply let it leave.
Unlike Professor Oak and the others, who still had research to do, Li Wei was about to bring his visit to Mirror Lake Island to a temporary end.
He had arrived on the 12th, and over these seven days, he had already translated a considerable amount of information.
These were all relatively easy passages to translate, having been preserved well enough.
They mainly recorded how the island's early inhabitants had lived, building a home together with wild Pokémon.

Giant Vileplume and Giant Scolipede were rare exceptions. Perhaps they had awakened from slumber like Giant Dragonite, or perhaps they had been roaming all along.
They needed more evidence to determine that.
For instance, they would need to find out whether other ruins on the islands near Mirror Lake Island, or in southern Sinnoh and northern Kanto, contained any records.
