On the way back to the Breeding Center,
his cousin Vera suddenly remarked that Li Wei had, without realizing it, reached a point where he could chat and laugh with figures like Professor Oak and Professor Rowan.
Li Wei, however, didn_t feel much about it.
"Actually, Professor Oak and Professor Rowan are both very easygoing."
Even if Li Wei didn't have his current fame,
simply by being the old man's grandson, Professor Oak couldn't possibly treat him poorly, not to mention Professor Oak himself was a good-natured old man.
Vera pouted, wanting to express that Li Wei was truly blessed but didn't realize it.
However, speaking of the changes in his identity and fame, Li Wei did have some tangible feelings.
Vera continued, "Many staff members at the Eterna City Historical Museum like you. When I first told them you were my brother, they didn't believe me."
Speaking of which, Vera suddenly took out her phone, "Let's take a verification photo."
Li Wei was driving and had no time to pay attention to her.
"If you have time, invite your colleagues to come and play. The Breeding Center is getting bigger and bigger anyway."
Vera nodded, "That's a good suggestion."
Recalling late November last year, Li Wei was still an obscure nobody with almost no presence.
Although he owned Lucario and Arcanine, Li Wei never really had a big dream.
That was until his parents mentioned opening a Breeding Center and the system appeared.
The Breeding Center had been open for less than a year,
and Li Wei was now the Champion of the 24th Youth Breeder Competition, a well-known UP host on Eevee Net, the Duke of the Battle Chateau...
and a series of strange titles like 'the man who cares for Garchomp' and so on.
His life had also undergone earth-shattering changes.
It was only through the operation of the Breeding Center that Li Wei gradually found joy, a sense of accomplishment, and his original aspiration in the process of breeding.
Li Wei hoped that all customers and Pokemon who came to the Breeding Center would feel happy.
For this, he was diligently studying.
While Li Wei and Vera were each lost in thought, they arrived at Zhuqing Breeding Center.
But Vera's vacation was over, and she still had to take the maglev train back to Eterna City.
Originally, Vera had only returned to accompany her Aunt Rui Sui for two days because her Aunt Rui Sui was going back to school to be a teacher.
"Regarding that ancient statue, I'll ask my teacher about it when I get back."
Vera's cousin was also a Doctor, specializing in ancient history and fossils, and Vera had been studying with her for several years.
During his few days at the Shanli Research Institute, Li Wei had also asked Professor Rowan and Professor Oak.
Although they were leading figures in the Pokemon research world, they also had their own areas of expertise.
Professor Oak knew nothing about it.
Because the Sinnoh region has a rich atmosphere of history and mythical legends, Professor Rowan had some knowledge of it.
However, Professor Rowan's strength primarily lay in ancient languages, with relatively weaker knowledge of ancient history.
But Professor Rowan still offered some valuable suggestions,
"This looks somewhat like something from the AZ Kingdom, which was destroyed 3000 years ago."
However, Professor Rowan could not be certain.
If it were to be formally identified, no one in the Sinnoh region would likely have such an ability; they would need to find a Doctor specializing in this in the Kalos region.
Dr. Jielan Mustard's research was only on the Sinnoh region; at most, she dabbled in the Kalos region.
So Li Wei temporarily gave up on researching this ancient statue.
Li Wei simply thought, it shouldn't just be an ordinary decoration, right?
He had already sought out the people he needed to, and since he couldn't get an answer, Li Wei had no other choice.
"Nothing else to do, go play."
Carbink and Diancie had stayed at the Shanli Research Institute for seven days.
Diancie chirped, "(Then I'll go play!)"
Although the Shanli Research Institute was quite good, Carbink and Diancie were mainly there to help collect data and had no time to play at all.
Watching Diancie and Carbink hop and skip in sync on the lawn,
even Li Wei had to admit, Diancie was truly adorable!
Lucario nodded to Li Wei,
(I'm going to train too.)
Since receiving Yan Kai's Knight's Breathing Method and Kukui's Lucario Calm Mind Method,
Lucario's training enthusiasm had become even higher.
While at Professor Rowan's Research Institute, Lucario would train whenever he had free time.
Additionally, information about Diancie would be updated in the Pokedex within the next two days.
In the future, the regional Pokedexes available to new Trainers—the four versions for Kanto, Sinnoh, and Kalos regions—would all include Diancie's information.
Because Diancie had always been with Li Wei and Steven when they traveled in the Kalos region.
In fact, the news of Diancie's existence had already spread on a small scale.
For this reason, recent security measures still needed to be well-maintained.
There would be no problems within the Alliance; everyone was someone Li Wei knew...
He was just worried about sudden attacks by Pokémon Hunters.
But according to the observations and summaries of Zorro, Section Chief, Lance, and others,
Zhuqing Breeding Center was not a place Pokémon Hunters liked to attack.
Although it was a suburban area, there were rows of villas and permanent residents,
and after the Breeding Center became famous, even people from the city would specifically take the train to come to the Breeding Center...
The constant flow of people was too dense; this was not a place Pokémon Hunters liked to act.
Pokémon Hunters usually targeted remote places like the Mount Coronet Foothills or Eterna Forest.
But regardless, precautions still needed to be taken.
Desperation can lead to recklessness; as long as there is enough profit, Pokémon Hunters are capable of anything.
Just as Li Wei was thinking about security, Lance's phone call suddenly came in.
Lance made a video call, "Li Wei, it's me, are you free?"
Li Wei nodded, "Yes."
Li Wei walked towards his room while chatting.
"It's like this, I want to talk to you about the issue concerning Diancie..."
...
Lance truly lived up to his reputation as the most dedicated investigator.
Chief investigators like him were indeed rare.
"No problem, I'll cooperate fully."
Lance laughed heartily, "Then I really have to thank you for your cooperation."
Lance added, "Oh, by the way, someone else will be visiting you soon."
"Who?"
Lance played coy, "An International Police officer who hates evil like fire. You'll know when you meet him."
This was also part of their plan.
Li Wei nodded, "I understand."
Investigators, International Police, Rangers, and regular police officers collectively protect the safety of various regions.
Though called International Police, in Li Wei's eyes, they were more like detectives and secret agents; they always operated alone and secretly.
Information about the International Police was probably the least known to the general public.
Even the location of the International Police headquarters could not be found online, and few people knew it.
Lance certainly knew, but Li Wei didn't ask; he wasn't going to become an International Police officer anyway.
Speaking of the International Police, Li Wei's first thought was the code name Looker, and his second thought was Alola Island Kahuna Nanu.
"Forget it, work first. It's time to weigh Lycanroc."
