Chapter 560: Gifts from Everyone
Chapter 560: Gifts from Everyone
In the Chief's office at the Paldia League headquarters, Eci sat in a chair, her hands crossed, and a barely contained smile on her face.
"Oh ho ho ho!"
Xinli stood by her side, her posture straight as a rod, and couldn't help but smirk at the scene.
"Chief, please try to contain your excitement."
"Xinli, did you see that? They're about to get married!" Eci began to daydream about the future. "After they're married, it won't be long before they have a child. No, one isn't enough; they should have at least two!"
Xinli: "..." The Chief has gone mad.
"No, I must prepare a grand gift for them!" Eci had made up her mind.
Just then, she received a reply from Shizuru.
【Shizuru: Of course.】
"He agreed! That's wonderful!" Eci's face lit up with a smile, and she said to Xinli, "At that time, we'll go together."
Xinli sighed inwardly.
Ah...
At the same time, at the ranch.
Shizuru had just finished replying to Eci's message when he received a call from Dr. Aurene.
On the video call, Dr. Aurene appeared as vibrant as ever. She smiled at Shizuru and said, "I've seen your post, and it seems you've found your soulmate. Congratulations!"
Shizuru smiled and nodded, "The wedding will likely be held in early March next year. Will you and Dr. Futa have time to attend?"
"Hmm..." Dr. Aurene paused in thought, then smiled and said, "I'm not sure, but if we have time, we will definitely attend your wedding."
"Okay." Shizuru understood that the two doctors were usually busy, so he nodded and said, "In that case, I'll welcome you here in advance."
"Mhm." Dr. Aurene seemed to want to say something else, but a shout suddenly came from behind her.
She turned to look, then said, "I have something else to attend to. We can chat later. For now, I'll wish you a happy marriage in advance!"
"Okay." Shizuru smiled and nodded.
After hanging up, Shizuru received messages from several other people.
Dr. Oak sent his blessings and assured him of his attendance.
Da'ou, after asking about the date, elegantly expressed his intention to attend the wedding.
Hirona also politely confirmed her presence on that day.
Even Dante, all the way in the Galar region, immediately offered to send a grand gift!
In addition to these prominent figures, Shizuru also received messages from some children.
Like Ash, Pippi, and Nimo.
Pippi also sent his blessings, and upon seeing the message, Shizuru replied:
【Dr. Aurene might also come, so you can come with her. If she's busy, I'll ask Gogoat to pick you up. There will be many kids your age there, so it'll be a lively occasion.】
【Pippi: Thank you!】
Shizuru smiled slightly and then looked at the other messages.
Nimo was shocked by the news of Shizuru's sudden marriage, and she sent several messages asking if Shizuru would still accept her challenges after getting married.
Shizuru replied, but he was also curious about Nimo's question.
Nimo explained, 【Nimo: I've seen adults who got married and then took on other jobs! They don't battle with other Trainers anymore; they just live with their Pokemon.】
Reading the message, Shizuru pondered for a moment before replying.
【Shizuru: Even though I might have less time after getting married, I'd still be happy to have a Pokemon battle with you, Nimo.】
He quite liked Nimo's pure passion for Pokemon battles.
Upon seeing Shizuru's reply, Nimo was thrilled. Yes! This is great!
She made up her mind. When Shizuru gets married, she will challenge him to a Pokemon battle to wish him a happy marriage!
Meanwhile, in the Unova region, in a certain mansion.
Adak was surprised to see the post in his friend circle.
Shizuru is getting married?!
That kid... This is too sudden! At least give me some time to prepare mentally!
After the initial shock, Adak smiled, a grin spreading across his face.
"Perfect timing! I wasn't sure what to do with this egg, but now I can give it to Shizuru as a wedding gift!"
No, that won't work.
Soon, Adak realized a problem.
Shizuru already has so many Pokemon; adding one more might be too much to handle.
What should he do?
Adak fell into deep thought. After a while, an idea struck him.
Since Shizuru is getting married soon, it won't be long before they have a child!
At that time, he can give the egg to the child. The Larvesta in the egg can grow up alongside the child.
With this in mind, Adak turned to his partner, Volcarona, and said, "Don't worry! I'll find a suitable Trainer for it! Do you remember Shizuru?"
The Volcarona in front of him calmly nodded. Of course, it remembered the kind human who had helped and saved its life.
Adak continued, "He's about to get married, and I plan to entrust this egg to his child. With Shizuru's guidance, that child will surely become an excellent Trainer!"
Volcarona's face lit up with emotion, and it let out a happy series of calls. The idea of entrusting its child to the care of the child of its benefactor brought Volcarona great joy.
Adak knew Volcarona would agree, and he smiled, "Then it's settled!"
However, there was no rush at the moment. After all, the egg had only just been laid the day before, and it would be quite some time before it hatched.
Although the wedding was still six months away, organizing a wedding was an incredibly tedious affair.
From selecting the venue to arranging seating for guests, Pokemon treats, and choosing wedding dresses in advance, there were countless details to attend to.
Shizuru had no experience with these matters, but thankfully, the townspeople and nearby farmers lent a helping hand. In just one month, Shizuru had everything prepared.
The staff would take care of everything, and all they needed to do was show up on time.
As Shizuru finished up and headed home, he couldn't help but feel a sense of wonder.
It was undeniable that the culture and customs of the Pokemon world were vastly different from those of the world he had lived in during his previous life.
For instance, the families of the bride and groom didn't need to be separated, and parents valued the groom's character and Trainer skills more than academic qualifications.
Shizuru thought about this as he called Qi Shu on the phone, smiling as he said, "I've finished everything!"
"Hehe, you must be tired! I've finished everything on my end too!" Qi Shu on the other line seemed a bit lacking in energy, "Time is passing so slowly, and there are still five months to go..."
Shizuru chuckled, "Don't worry, time will fly by. It's already October, and in two months, it'll be the year 202. You must be busy over there too, right?"
The League Tournament was approaching, and Trainers from all over were rushing to challenge Gyms and collect badges.
During this time, few people had come to challenge the Ranch.
"Mhm, but it's not too bad! We can take a break next month!" Qi Shu started looking forward to the upcoming vacation, "Oh, someone's challenging the Gym again. I'll call you back later, bye!"
"Okay."
As Shizuru hung up the phone, he was just about to take a short rest when he suddenly received a text message from Mewtwo.
[Mewtwo: Come to the World Tree.]
Shizuru was slightly taken aback. Had something happened at the World Tree?
He quickly asked Mewtwo for more information, but Mewtwo only told him to come over.
Shizuru: "..." Alright then! So mysterious.
Shizuru stood up and said to the Gogoat beside him, "Let's go to the World Tree!"
"Aga!" The Gogoat hurriedly followed.
The two of them, human and Pokemon, traveled through the Reverse World and soon arrived at the World Tree.
However, when Shizuru reached the World Tree, he sensed an unusual aura.
Something was wrong! Very wrong!
The massive Expedition Guild headquarters was eerily empty, not a single Pokemon in sight. Even the usually bustling Meowth Sushi Shop was deserted.
Hmm? What happened here? Shizuru narrowed his eyes and looked around.
He took out his Rotom Phone to contact Mewtwo and inquire about the situation.
Just then, a Budew suddenly appeared from the corner.
From a distance, it waved at Shizuru, "Chuu!"
"Budew? Where is everyone?" Shizuru asked hurriedly.
However, Budew didn't respond. It turned around and gestured for Shizuru to follow.
"Chuu!"
Seeing this, Shizuru understood that everyone was safe, and he breathed a sigh of relief, following after Budew.
Budew turned and entered a narrow path, leading into a secluded forest.
Golden sunlight filtered through the gaps in the overhead foliage, and the morning mist had yet to dissipate, giving the entire forest an enchanting, dreamy quality, as if they had stepped into a painting.
Before Shizuru could appreciate the scenery, Budew turned a corner and emerged from the forest.
In the blink of an eye, Shizuru found himself in a beautiful, fairy-tale-like secret realm.
The open space was covered in lush green grass, adorned with blooming flowers. A small stream meandered through the valley, its gentle flow never-ending. In the distance, a golden field stretched as far as the eye could see.
This was where the Pokemon of the World Tree cultivated their crops. A tall windmill stood by the river, its massive fan blades slowly turning with the wind.
But what truly amazed Shizuru was not this idyllic scene.
What shocked him was the presence of a two-story, countryside-style mansion standing in the open space before him!
Gazing at this picturesque scene, Shizuru couldn't help but whisper, "This... what's going on?"
"Chuu~"
Budew walked up to the door and gestured for Shizuru to enter.
Shizuru did as instructed. He was about to knock, but as he placed his hand on the door, he realized it wasn't locked, just slightly ajar.
With a gentle push, the door opened.
Immediately, a large group of various Pokemon appeared before Shizuru's eyes.
"Meow!"
"Roar!"
"Li~"
"Lucky~"
"..."
Cascoon, Meowth, Oliva, Metagross, Charizard, Venusaur, Mewtwo, and even several Construction Elders that Shizuru had never seen before were all present. They must have been invited by the Pokemon from other worlds.
At this moment, all the Pokemon on the World Tree gathered, their eyes filled with excitement, looking at Shizuru.
Shizuru was slightly taken aback, "This is..."
The Meowths joyfully bounced, "Meow!" (This is the house we built for Shizuru!)
The second Meowth continued, "Meow!" (This way, Shizuru can move to the World Tree and live with us in the future!)
The third Meowth added, "Meow!" (Exactly, that's the plan!)
Hearing this, Shizuru instantly understood their intention.
This house was built by these Pokemon for him, specifically for when he grew old, so he could retire and live on the World Tree with them!
After a brief moment of shock, Shizuru's heart was filled with warmth.
He asked softly, "Why did you suddenly decide to build a house for me here?"
"Meow~" (Because Shizuru has also done a lot for us! We want to be with Shizuru forever, so with this house, Shizuru can live with us here from now on~")
"I see." Shizuru's heart was filled with warmth. "I understand, thank you so much. I love this gift, and when the time comes, I will definitely come and live here with you all."
Perhaps in a few decades, or even longer.
One day, he would move here with the Pokemon and the person he loved, leaving behind the world and staying together forever.
"Ah, gah..."
As Shizuru spoke, Gogoat recalled his past experiences.
When he was a Skiddo, it seemed he hadn't witnessed the day when Shizuru and everyone moved to the World Tree to live.
He wondered if he would ever get to see that day.
"Ah, gah..."
Once the past was changed, the future would follow suit.
Gogoat deeply understood this principle.
If Skiddo hadn't fallen into the time machine, it wouldn't exist, and if it told Shizuru about this, Shizuru would surely prevent it from happening.
Would Skiddo not fall into the time machine and disappear when the time came?
But... it wanted to stay with Shizuru a little longer, to spend more time by his side, to see the little master grow up, and to move to the World Tree with Shizuru...
Gogoat suddenly felt a wave of sadness.
However, it couldn't let little Skiddo go through that experience again.
At this moment, Gogoat made a firm decision.
When everything was over, it would tell Shizuru everything.
By then, even if it was gone, the past Gogoat would still be by Shizuru's side, always accompanying him and the little master.
When Shizuru returned to the ranch from the World Tree, it was already 11:00 a.m.
While preparing lunch for the Pokemon on the ranch, Shizuru had his Lotad Phone read out the latest major events happening around the world.
"Breaking news from the frontlines: A giant over three meters tall has appeared in Asa Town, Kalos Region, suspected to be an ancient human ancestor from the Great Ice Age. Experts believe this person was frozen during the Ice Age and has only recently been unfrozen, but unfortunately, the target has already disappeared without a trace."
Shizuru: "...Next."
Lotad continued to browse the next news article.
"A major incident in the Sinnoh Region! Evil forces finally fall into the hands of the law! Recently, a highly malicious incident occurred in the Sinnoh Region, where an organization called Team Galactic attempted to control the legendary Pokemon Temporal Tyrant and Spatial Sentinel to destroy the world!"
"Fortunately, a hero who wished to remain anonymous stopped them. Team Galactic has since disbanded, and its leaders have been arrested. The Pokemon Hunter Organization was also exposed by Miss Juniper, and those involved will face a hundred years of imprisonment at sea!"
Hmm? Hearing this news, Shizuru was slightly taken aback.
He had almost forgotten about Team Galactic! For the past month, he had been busy with wedding preparations, and now the Team Galactic incident was already resolved?
Was Mars also arrested?
Shizuru quickly asked Lotad for news about the leaders of Team Galactic.
"Reporting, Lotad! According to rumors and insider information, the boss of Team Galactic attempted to control Temporal Tyrant and Spatial Sentinel but fell into a space-time rift and disappeared!"
Mars fell into a space-time rift?
Shizuru recalled the plot of the anime. Even in the 'Pokemon: Journeys' series, there was still no news of Mars.
It seemed likely that things didn't end well for her.
Space-time rifts were not pleasant places; falling into one could mean being devoured by temporal turbulence or finding oneself in another world.
"What about the Pokemon Hunter Organization?" Shizuru asked.
Lotad: "The Pokemon Hunter Organization has also been arrested, Lotad! Hunter J, while trying to capture the legendary Lake Pokemon, fell into the lake with his ship and lost his life! The remaining Pokemon hunters were also apprehended by the International Police with the help of Miss Juniper! Currently, there are no more evil organizations in the Sinnoh Region, Lotad!"
"I see..." Shizuru nodded thoughtfully.
This was great news; with this, the Rapid Dragon Route in the Sinnoh Region could be unlocked!
