Jubilife Breeding Center.
Part of the Pokémon Theme Park under construction at the Breeding Center had already been completed.
Entering the Breeding Center's main entrance through the west gate led to the parking lot.
Beyond the parking lot, there would be a ticket office, shops, a storage service area, and a security checkpoint.
From there, visitors would have two ways to tour the park: on foot along the walkways or riding Pokémon.
Li Wei and Mayor Luca walked along the Pokémon Theme Park's pedestrian path, finishing their tour of the grassland exhibit and Swan Lake on the right.
Farther ahead, the path forked again.
Climbing the stone steps on the left brought them to a rocky hill reserved for Rock-type and Ground-type Pokémon.
Rock-type Pokémon such as Carbink, Geodude, and Onix lived here.
Rockruff, which they had only recently decided to bring in, would also live here.
They had originally planned to bring in Rockruff for breeding.
They still intended to breed them, but rather than selling them, they would send some to various research institutes.
Some novice Trainers would also choose Rockruff as their starter Pokémon.
As they climbed the stone steps, the meadow ended abruptly at a stretch of jagged rock.
With a fence separating them from the Pokémon, Li Wei and Mayor Luca walked across the exposed rocks of the hill, ancient layers of stone lying bare and clearly defined beneath their feet.
From where they stood,
Geodude searched for rocks to eat on the left, while the faint, low rumble of excavation machinery drifted over from the distance on the right.
The air carried the distinctive mineral scent of stone, which felt cool to the touch.
This was the area where Carbink and Geodude had originally lived, and mine entrances were visible in the hillside.
