Jubilife Pokémon Theme Park.
Li Wei turned sideways, revealing Meloetta, who had been hiding behind him, to his family.
Lucario, Diancie, and the others stayed back. This was a step Meloetta needed to take on its own.
Although coming face-to-face with Meloetta had nearly given Leon a fright, he accepted the situation remarkably quickly.
Just as Li Wei's parents, Mizuki, and the others had expected, Li Wei had brought another exceptionally rare Pokémon home from his trip.

Mizuki nodded
