July 24th, Zhuqing Breeding Center.
Li Wei noticed that there were an unusual number of people today.
Many of them didn't seem like customers; they looked more like they were waiting for someone.
Outside the Breeding Center's main gate, there was also a suspicious-looking van.
Victor, the Breeding Center's security guard, keenly noticed this, and Arcanine also sniffed out an unusual scent.
Arcanine could even sense that an invisible pair of eyes seemed to be watching them.
Victor pressed his walkie-talkie,
"Little Boss, there's a suspicious van outside the gate. Do you want me to check it out?"
After all, Victor knew that a biker gang had once caused trouble here.
Would a van full of people come out?
Victor's vigilance was not unfounded.
"You and Arcanine stay put for now. Da You and I will go take a look."
"Alright."
Li Wei called out to Da You and walked towards the van, which looked very suspicious.
Although Li Wei now had Close-Quarters Combat (Intermediate), he was relatively cautious.
It was safer to call upon Da You, the three-time World Pokémon Martial Arts Tournament Champion.
But soon, Li Wei knew that this van probably wasn't dangerous.
From the front, it did look suspicious, but the side of the van had several large characters pasted on it.
[Sinnoh NOW]
The most famous TV station in the Sinnoh region, with Miss You Jia as the resident host.
She and the sound engineer were often referred to as a delightful pair...
Because the chubby sound engineer always accurately hit You Jia's head with the microphone...
The fact that the sound engineer wasn't fired only meant that the show's effect was excellent, and Miss You Jia had a very good temper.
"Knock, knock."
Li Wei knocked on the driver's side door.
When the window rolled down, it was Li Wei's familiar cameraman, the chubby sound engineer in the passenger seat, and Miss You Jia and a tall, thin man sitting in the back.
The familiar quartet for outdoor shoots.
They all smiled awkwardly at Li Wei.
"What are you all doing here?"
The cameraman, Sugiyama, smiled, "Hehe, is a Champion coming today?"
Li Wei looked slightly surprised, "How did you know?"
Sugiyama said confidently, "This is a journalist's intuition!"
Miss You Jia raised an eyebrow,
"The first season had Lance, the second had Steven. Let me guess, the third won't be Cynthia, will it?"
Li Wei said helplessly, "You guessed very accurately…"
Sugiyama smiled, "Can we film?"
Li Wei nodded, "Come in first, but whether you can film isn't up to me; it depends on their opinions."
"Their?"
Sugiyama and You Jia keenly caught Li Wei's emphasis.
...
Happy times are always short.
The children participating in the Pokémon Summer Camp increasingly felt this statement; time seemed to fly by.
It was the fifth day of the Pokémon Summer Camp, and today would be the special surprise Li Wei had prepared for the children.
This surprise was so grand that Professor Professor Rowan would have no problem even if he skipped the upcoming lessons.
Because they would be staying here for three days.
Professor Professor Rowan even thought Li Wei was being too exaggerated.
In reality, Li Wei hadn't expected them to be so cooperative, or rather, to have so much time.
Especially Steven; even though he had already come for the previous season, he still made time to come here.
Because Steven knew that these children were relatively special compared to the children from the first two Pokémon Summer Camps, so he considered things more deeply.
Cynthia had already accepted Li Wei's invitation, so Steven's presence or absence wouldn't have a particularly big impact.
But Steven still came.
Steven answered like this,
"These children lack parental care; I hope this little bit of Helping Hand from me can make them feel more loved."
Steven was no longer the HoennChampion, and Devon Corporation didn't need him to take over for the time being.
Aside from the necessary Master League, Steven spent the rest of his time either mining or on his way to mine.
For these children, it was just three fewer days of digging rocks.
Steven believed it was very meaningful.
As the HoennChampion, handsome, and a second-generation rich kid, Steven was very popular among Champions.
Even though Steven had now stepped down as Champion, it still didn't affect his popularity.
In previous Pokémon World Championships, Steven's popularity always ranked among the top.
Only one person could rival him,
It wasn't Cynthia, but the movie queen Diantha.
Due to the spread of movies, Diantha's popularity was indeed higher.
...
The morning sun was bright, and the children gathered on the Breeding Center's lawn early in the morning, waiting for today's Pokémon Summer Camp to begin.
The air was filled with the fragrance of grass, and the children were still active and full of energy.
The children knew that today might be an unusual day.
In fact, the first and second Pokémon Summer Camps had already gone viral online.
First, Champion Lance served as a one-day teacher here, then battled Li Wei at sunset.
One side was Champion Lance, the other was the young BreederChampionLi Wei.
Both had high reputations; although Li Wei couldn't compare to Lance for now, he certainly had a name.
Especially with the help of the Snowpeak Ranch gold endorsement, Li Wei's half-body photo could even be seen on subway billboards.
One side was Dragonite, the other was Dragapult.
These were powerful and rare Pokemon, commonly referred to as 'Pseudo-Legendaries' by Trainers and enthusiasts.
Since it was an outdoor battle and customers were present,
This battle was also filmed and uploaded to the Eevee Net's battle section.
With popular tags like Li Wei, Champion, Lance, Dragapult, and Dragonite,
More importantly, the final result of this battle was a draw.
This video, without a doubt, went viral.
Li Wei actually drew with Lance.
"I thought you were a Breeder, but I didn't expect you to be a powerful Trainer as well."
"It's one thing for your breeding techniques to be so good, but why is your commanding so strong?"
"Didn't expect it, huh? Your grandpa is also a Trainer who can go toe-to-toe with Lance."
Most of the comments on that video were in this style.
The first video was a bit regrettable because Lance took the children to an outdoor lake, so no one filmed the teaching video.
Regrettable? No such thing.
In the second Pokémon Summer Camp, Steven's outdoor mineral class was also filmed by customers and uploaded.
Steven himself even appeared in the video's comment section with his main account.
"I'm very honored to see so many people like my class, and I hope more people will like minerals."
To this, Li Wei expressed...
Was it your mineral class they liked?
They were lusting after you!
But Li Wei had to admit that Steven's mineral class was very good.
Even Li Wei himself was engrossed in it at the time.
Two consecutive Pokémon Summer Camps had Champions serving as one-day special teachers.
Not only Sinnoh NOW and some fans, but even the children were excited.
Amidst everyone's anticipation, the first Champion made a dazzling appearance!
