Time flew by, and February 1 arrived.
Jubilife Pokémon Theme Park.
The paperwork for Li Wei's land had been approved,
and the Theme Park's area had expanded directly to 10.4 square kilometers.
Of course, it was still only a bare shell and needed to be fitted out.
But everything was ready. After coordinating Volkner's and Old Lady Jade's suggestions,
construction would begin in March. The weather was still too cold to work in now.
During this time, an indecisive Dawn came to see Li Wei at Saiko's suggestion.
Li Wei's answer was simple.
Take them along.
He made the decision outright for Dawn, who had trouble choosing.
Dawn wasn't like Ash, who was going to compete in the Master League
and needed to raise as many Pokémon as possible, especially ones of different types.
Pokémon Contests demanded refinement.
One well-honed trick could take you all the way.
Dragonite and Galarian Rapidash were both Pokémon Dawn couldn't give up.
Raising them would be better than having Dawn go everywhere catching new Pokémon.
Li Wei had another reason for recommending this.
Dawn was no longer traveling with Brock and Ash.
Her safety had to be considered.
Dragonite could fly, and Galarian Rapidash could serve as a mount. Between them, they could solve Dawn's problems in most situations.
Dawn decided to stop agonizing over it
and follow Li Wei's advice, taking Cyndaquil, Dragonite, and Galarian Rapidash along on her travels.
Dawn had already booked a flight for March 1, directly to Petalburg City in the Hoenn Region.
She would begin her journey through the Hoenn Region there.
Registration for the Master League also opened that day.
In the suite's study,
with Lucario, Zeraora, and the other Pokémon watching, Li Wei prepared to sign up.
Cynthia had already gone to work on Lily
