Laverre City.
Compared with bustling Lumiose City, Laverre City had a more old-fashioned charm, and a faint fragrance filled the air.
The city had produced incense since ancient times, and it remained a pillar of Laverre City's economy.
Li Wei received a warm welcome when he arrived in Laverre City, especially when he reached the Laverre Gym.
Laverre City was a city where women clearly outnumbered men, and Li Wei had plenty of fans there.
That prompted Valerie to joke about herself. "I'm not even sure I can call this my home turf anymore."
Li Wei laughed. "Of course it's your home turf."
After their pleasant conversation, it was time for the official match.
Valerie was stronger than most people might imagine. Li Wei had seen that for himself in the previous two Master Leagues.
She had made it to the Knockout Round every time.
When it came to Fairy-type Pokémon alone, Valerie could be called the best in the Kalos Region-a true Fairy-type master.
Li Wei had also drawn on Valerie's Fairy-type training methods when training Diancie.
Her ace, Sylveon, in particular, gave Lucario quite a bit of trouble.
If Steel types hadn't had an advantage over Fairy types, Lucario would certainly have faced a tough battle.
"Lucario, Mega Evolution!"
"Aura Sphere!"
"Close Combat!"
Although Valerie's ace Sylveon had considerably more stamina than an ordinary Sylveon,
Sylveon still went down after taking a full barrage of Close Combat from Mega Lucario.
"Sylveon is unable to battle!"
Li Wei had no intention of going easy on a pretty woman,
and used Lucario and Metagross to defeat Valerie's three Pokémon, claiming his second victory in his three-match away series.
Li Wei's final opponent in the Kalos Region was his own student, Korrina, the Gym Leader of the Shalour Gym.
