Only after Milotic had given Feebas a counseling session did Li Wei introduce his Pokémon to Cynthia.
"Lucario hatched from an egg Grandpa gave me two years ago."
"Luca!"
"I got Arcanine at the Celestic Town Police Station. Even back when Arcanine was a Growlithe, I was already a favorite."

Glaceon looked up at the Eevee in Cynthia's arms.
"Vee!"
"Mia!"
"You've met them all, so I don't need to introduce them, right?"
Cynthia had caught these six Pokémon a long time ago, and Li Wei had met all
