June 5, evening.
Windswept City, Johto Region.
Li Wei arrived safely in Windswept City with Dawn, Diancie, and Lucario.
Windswept City was also known as Wind City, a city where people lived alongside the wind.
A gentle breeze brushed past, colorful flags fluttered in the sky, and a faint salty tang of seawater hung in the air.
Windmills dotted every district of the city, their enormous blades turning slowly.
Ribbons and wind chimes hung above both sides of the streets, with all kinds of food stalls below.
As they walked toward the Pokémon Center,
Dawn looked around. "There are so many windmills!"
This was Dawn's first proper journey away from home.
Li Wei nodded. "It really is lively here."
"Hahaha!"
The joyful sounds of children surrounded them, laughter ringing out one after another.
Children ran past Li Wei and Dawn from time to time, and some stopped to look at Diancie and Sirfetch'd.
"Hey, mister, what Pokémon is that? Why does it look so much like Farfetch'd?"
Hearing the children talking, Sirfetch'd puffed out his chest. "Gah!"
Dawn explained, "That's Sirfetch'd, the evolved form of Galarian Farfetch'd."
Li Wei praised her. "Not bad."
Dawn proudly brushed a finger beneath her nose. "Of course! I've been studying the Pokédex properly!"
Dawn certainly wasn't going to admit that all she'd actually memorized were Li Wei's Pokémon and the Pokémon at the Breeding Center.
Umbreon, Quagsire, Bayleef, Azumarill, Delibird, Jumpluff...
Many other people on the streets had brought their Pokémon along, just like Li Wei.
The one thing Li Wei found unfortunate was that it was too crowded,
so he couldn't let Arcanine, Metagross, and Corviknight come out to explore the streets with them.
"Mr. Li Wei."
Along the way, Li Wei encountered Officer Jenny patrolling with a Growlithe.
Although Li Wei didn't
