Li Wei got up bright and early that morning and made the rounds with Dayou, Incineroar, Lucario, and Zeraora.
Their first stop was the water gun supply stations.
Li Wei had set up several water gun supply stations at the entrance, where visitors could claim a basic water gun for free with their admission tickets.

Li Wei had stocked large water guns modeled after Blastoise's cannons, Qwilfish sprayers, and more, all with greater range.

He had also provided clothing storage and temporary changing rooms, encouraging visitors to travel light.
Li Wei had prepared a pair of board shorts for himself. Aside from those, he wore only his glasses, with a water gun in each hand.
The shops in the Theme Park were offering a limited-time "Wave Carnival" line of waterproof merchandise, along with T-shirts, shorts, and sandals.
