September 30.
More than half a month earlier,
news that the Johto Region's All-Around Competition would soon be held in Olivine Town had already begun spreading.
This time, Li Wei's old acquaintances at Sinnoh NOW would also be going, because another important event was taking place there:
the Olivine Town Pokémon Contest.
Ash, Dawn, and Brock were also heading there for the All-Around Competition and the Pokémon Contest.
This year's All-Around Competition featured a wide range of events.
The Riding Competition was divided into land riding and the Water Riding Competition, and a Triathlon for Trainers and Pokémon had been added as well.
Although the competition only lasted three days, the schedule was packed.
Besides Blue, Yellow, and Crystal, who were already in the Sinnoh Region,
Akin, a grand slam winner of the All-Around Competition, had also been invited to participate, accompanied by Lt. Surge, Jasmine, Whitney, and others.
Lance certainly wasn't going to miss out on all this excitement.
Especially now that both Kanto and Sinnoh were enjoying a period of peace and quiet.
Since it was being held in the Sinnoh Region,
judging by what Li Wei knew of those Gym Leaders...
most of them would probably come join the fun.
Li Wei and Cynthia had agreed to meet in Olivine Town.
She was setting off directly from Lily of the Valley Island.
He wondered what wonderful expressions they would make if they found out Cynthia was participating too...
After Li Wei and Cynthia registered on the official website, the Olivine Town event organizers called Li Wei,
asking whether he and Cynthia would like to appear as Celebrity Trainers.
"Are there any special perks for Celebrity Trainers?"
"Would free accommodation count? You can take your pick of seaside villas. Besides that, there's the special Johto exhibition..."
