December 23.
Jubilife Pokémon Theme Park.
Huge, feathery snowflakes drifted down from the sky.
With the Pokémon League's holiday break approaching, the League tournaments across all the regions had already ended.
Even in winter, the Theme Park still drew plenty of visitors, though there were noticeably fewer families with children.
But that did not affect Li Wei's decision to hold an event.
Li Wei still planned to hold a festival on December 24 and 25, after which he could more or less start preparing for his vacation.
Li Wei had already received permission for the expansion from the new mayor, and the paperwork had come through.

Steven had remarked, "I never thought I'd be attending a video conference with Mr. Giovanni."
Although Giovanni had once been a villain, since he had turned over a new leaf, Steven no longer held his past against him.
Team Rainbow Rocket had now built the thirty-nine-story Rainbow Tower in Saffron City.

Giovanni gave a businessman's smile.
"What I want is a reputation, Li Wei."
"A purely positive, visible reputation."
"I want the whole world to see that Team Rainbow Rocket's power can be used to build, and that we can do it
