Li Wei was on a call with Cynthia.
Li Wei had indeed mentioned to Cynthia that he would be entering the 24th Young Breeder Competition.
But he hadn't expected her to remember.
Li Wei nodded. "That's right. It's being held in Hearthome City, starting at nine in the morning."
The competition Li Wei was entering was indeed a major event for Pokémon Breeders, but this was only the preliminary round.
In fact, several regions were holding their rounds simultaneously.
Qualifying spots would be allocated based on the number of entrants in each region. The competition would only really heat up once they reached the top 32.
Live broadcasts would begin with the round of 16, and Hearthome City had also been selected as the venue for the finals.
"My fifth match is in Hearthome City too, in the afternoon on the same day. Want to come watch in person?"
"Yes."
Li Wei didn't even need to hesitate. It was the perfect chance to take Lucario, Metagross, and the others along to enjoy the excitement and cheer Cynthia on.
Ever since the Master League began, Cynthia had needed to fly somewhere every two weeks.
In other words, Li Wei hadn't seen Cynthia since the Rainbow Biker Gang's attack on the Breeding Center.
"There's one problem. I couldn't get a ticket."
Li Wei had actually tried to grab one.
But the tickets had sold out in less than a second.
Li Wei strongly suspected someone was using bots.
"You won't need a ticket. See you there."
"Okay."
Cynthia's next match was a clash of titans. Her opponent was Wallace, the Champion from the Hoenn Region.
That was the appeal of the Master League.
Even its weakest competitors were Gym Leaders. Every match was six-on-six, with top-tier contenders in every battle.
