June 8, Jubilife Breeding Center.
After bringing Zeraora to meet up with Lucario, Metagross, and the others, Li Wei went off to work.
"Show Zeraora around the Breeding Center, especially the wild Pokémon here in the grounds."
"Luca!"
"Quack!"
You got it~ ദ്ദി˶•̀֊＜)✧
Diancie nodded slightly. "Please leave it to me."
Fighting the wildfire together two days earlier had forged a sense of camaraderie between Zeraora and Lucario's group.
More than anything, Zeraora was grateful to them for helping save the Pokémon on the Back Mountain.
Li Wei hadn't intended to have so many Pokémon show Zeraora around, but they were all too enthusiastic and eager to join in.
Even the Dragapult mother and child, along with the Arcanine who spent all day romping around outside, joined them.
And so, a whole procession set off on a grand tour of the Breeding Center.
"Luca! Luca!"
"Shaymi~"
"Quack!"
After a very heated discussion, Lucario and the others decided to start at the entrance and introduce everyone to Zeraora one by one.
First, of course, were Arcanine and Luxray, who served as guards at the Security Booth.
"Woof!"
Arcanine didn't have much to say, but offered a warm welcome with a wagging tail.
Giving Zeraora a tour was out of the question. Arcanine had a post to guard!
"Meow~"
Luxray tilted its head curiously as it looked at Zeraora, a fellow electric feline.
"Cha~"
Luxray nodded, completing their exchange of greetings.
The old Luxray might have viewed Zeraora as a rival, but things were very different now.
Even though Zeraora felt incredibly powerful, the now-sociable feline didn't feel threatened.
Besides, Luxray looked perfectly harmless.
There was no longer a Pokémon leader here in any real sense. The true leader was Li Wei.
The wild Pokémon here had gone through several stages.
