INFORMATION

THE DESMARAIS PATRIARCH IS COMING TO TOWN.

On one cloudy afternoon in Lilycove, cargos of wine and other liquor all the way from Kalos convene in the Lilycove docks, waiting for their transfer to their new headquarters in the city. Workers cladded in orange suit invades the city with their floral aroma as the residents become wary of the preparations they set up in the City Plaza.[break][break]

Days before, posters of the Grand Bake-Off circulated the region, enticing bakers from all over Hoenn to participate in this cooking competition. And in the next few hours, Lilycove will witness the grand opening of Desmarais Inc.'s first office in Hoenn through a baking showdown.
