October 30, Eterna City.
The Eterna City Research Forum Summit had drawn to a close the day before.
Last night, Li Wei had invited a group of friends to dinner in Eterna City.
Some had left after dinner, but others had stayed.
Professor Kukui, whom he had first met only two days earlier, had asked to meet with him.
So Li Wei had gotten up early to meet Professor Kukui. He would have to head back soon.

It wasn't as though Li Wei hadn't searched for the Legendary and Mythical Pokémon in the sighting records the Sinnoh League had given him a while ago.
But apart from Cresselia and the Volcano God, Heatran, none of them were still at the locations where they had originally appeared.

If that didn't work out, he would have to settle for Pokémon such as Flareon or Arcanine instead.
This year's Lily of the Valley Conference had been postponed.
Dawn's Grand Festival would begin first in early November, while
