Chapter 341: Chapter 341
The wedding banquet was in full swing.
"Hey~ Miss Hancock, your Onix has evolved into a Steelix! How about a fiery Pokémon battle with me?"
Hannibal, one of the Elite Four and the "Dark Master," had hearts in his eyes the moment he saw Hancock.
Hannibal was known for his flirtatious nature, but he wasn't someone who would act inappropriately without consent. He was simply a shameless admirer.
"Not interested."
Hancock didn't even spare him a glance.
She had a good relationship with Stella, who had given her the Metal Coat needed for her Onix's evolution and accompanied her for the link trade.
Hancock's presence at such a lively occasion was solely out of respect for Stella.
"Hannibal-san is as enthusiastic about battles as ever," said Brook, the "Soul Master," holding his guitar.
He was preparing to perform with his ghostly companions later in the evening.
"Hey, Brook, we haven't battled yet either. How about it?"
"Yohohoho, it would be my honor. Let's settle it after the banquet."
Brook wasn't one to back down from a challenge, even when his type was at a disadvantage. An Elite Four member fearing battle? That would be a joke.
"Ah~"
Nearby, Kuzan yawned lazily in his chair.
Being an Elite Four member was a cushy job. Eight-hour workdays, with six hours spent lounging? Life couldn't get better than this.
"Kuzan, you've gained weight recently," Sengoku remarked, shaking his head in exasperation.
"Hmph, he's gone soft," Zephyr, Kuzan's former teacher, muttered in disappointment.
"Come on, Fleet Admiral, Zephyr-sensei, it's a joyous day. Cut me some slack," Kuzan waved his hand weakly.
Meanwhile, a father and son were discussing family matters.
"Dragon, Sabo got into a fight at school. You need to handle it."
"Hmm, I heard it was because Hinata was being bullied, so Sabo stepped in."
"Then he did the right thing!"
These eight individuals shared the same table.
Although Garp and Dragon were Gym Leaders of the Fighting and Dragon Gyms respectively, they were also a Marine hero and the leader of the Revolutionary Army, earning them seats at this table.
At a nearby table, six Gym Leaders and two city mayors sat together.
Borsalino glared enviously at Kuzan from afar.
Why did Kuzan, a fellow Admiral and Electric Gym Leader, earn more and work less? It was infuriating!
"That's it! I've decided to quit and join next year's tournament!"
For once, Borsalino felt motivated.
"Huh?" Sentomaru tilted his head. "Uncle, please don't cause trouble."
"Father, is Mother not coming?"
"She's been chosen as the 'Guardian of Yggdrasil' and is undergoing trials."
Neptune nodded, though his expression betrayed concern.
His wife's petite frame wasn't exactly suited for such rigorous tasks.
"She's determined to make a contribution to the Alliance," Neptune explained with a supportive smile.
Pokémon Alliance had brought new life to Fish-Man Island, fulfilling Otohime's dream. Grateful for this, Otohime was eager to play a role in the Alliance's endeavors.
"She will succeed," reassured Gan Fall, the Mayor of Angel City and a close friend of Neptune.
If Otohime succeeded, Neptune's family would achieve legendary status:
Neptune: Mayor of Fish-Man City.
Otohime: Guardian of Yggdrasil.
Shirahoshi: Talented Pokémon Coordinator.
The eldest son, as Water Gym Leader.
Their family history was enviable.
"Look, the groomsmen and bridesmaids are entering!"
Ivankov, the Fairy Gym Leader, craned his oversized head.
These weren't ordinary groomsmen and bridesmaids—they were prominent figures in the Pokémon Alliance:
External Secretary: Bon Clay.
Internal Secretary and Academy Principal: Robin.
Heads of Inspection, Research, and Engineering Departments: Bellamy, Monet, Iceburg, and Tom.
Medical Head: Reiju.
Even Akatsuki's original F4—Madara, Izuna, Kakuzu, and Hanzo—were present.
The lineup showcased the Alliance's influence.
"The Champion has arrived," Magellan muttered as he gazed at the stage.
The evening sky had turned golden as the dazzling lights of Gold City illuminated the scene.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to today's wedding celebration!"
Standing at the microphone in a pristine white suit was Dak, instantly drawing the crowd's attention.
As Dak gestured toward the distant Golden Cathedral, its doors swung open. The bride and groom, Stella and Tesoro, emerged in shimmering golden attire.
High above, a resplendent rainbow bridge appeared in the wake of Ho-Oh, the "Rainbow God."
Gasps of awe filled the air as the majestic bird descended, accompanied by Entei, Suicune, and Raikou, who unleashed their fiery, aquatic, and electric powers.
Under Ho-Oh's Sunny Day, the sky transformed into an eternal daylight for the next ten days.
Finally, a sacred flame descended from Ho-Oh, merging into Stella's chest, leaving the audience in stunned silence.
Dak gave the newlyweds a thumbs-up and said with a grin, "Congratulations on your new beginning."
Tomorrow would mark a new world.
