July 27, afternoon.
Li Wei was about to take his livestream viewers to see the Pinnacle of Royalty enclosure and experience the allure of the wild.
While he was streaming, Li Wei's phone rang.
It was a call from Lance.
Li Wei held his phone up to Pokédex Rotom.
"Hang on a moment, everyone. I need to take this call."

On the summit behind the cliff-like Pride Rock on the right stood a Pokémon—the Electric Cat, Zeraora.
Zeraora surveyed the surroundings warily.
From that summit, Zeraora could see the entire enclosure.

Zeraora nodded. "Cha!"
Up in the sky, they could also see Metagross, two Dragapult, Corviknight, and Aerodactyl flying about.
Li Wei had already run into Lucario on the way.
Lucario had said they wanted
