On with the story

It was night time in the Sinnoh League Tournament

A few hours after Ken's battle against Adeku, the Trainer was now standing on top of the podium with Golurk and his Pokémon as they were joined by Shirona and President Tamaranze

"congratulations on winning, Ken" President Tamaranze said as he shakes hands with him "you've outdone yourself yet again"

"thank you, President Tamaranze" Ken said "but I couldn't've done it without everyone's help"

Shirona stepped forward as she had the Sinnoh League Tournament's Champion Trophy with her

She passed it to him as Shirona smiled

"congratulations, Ken. You've become the Sinnoh League Tournament' Champion" Shirona said as Ken nodded

"yeah, and thank you Shirona" Ken said as he holds the trophy "it was thanks to you that Golurk could pull through in the last moment"

Golurk nodded in agreement while raising its bandaged fists

"it was nothing" Shirona said before the Fireworks suddenly flied into the air and lit in the sky

"and now we bring an end to the Sinnoh League Tournament! We thank everyone who have come to the Tournament!"

The fireworks exploded as this signaled the end of the Sinnoh League Tournament


With the Tournament going to an end, Ken was bidding farewell to Kohei and the others

"thanks for being there for me" Ken said as he shakes hands with everyone

"don't mention it" Kohei said in reply as he adjusted his glasses "but be prepared, for I will come again next year and be champion for sure!"

"hey hey! Don't forget about me!" Jun exclaimed "me and my Pokémon are going to train even harder and harder and we will become the winner!"

"what about you, Naoshi?" Ken asked the man who simply played his harp

"I shall be taking a temporary leave from battling" Naoshi replied "I think it's time for me to continue my first dream of becoming a Top Coordinator"

"alright" Ken said "pursue your dream like a Dragonite soaring the sky with Dragon Rush"

The three nodded as they then parted ways with Ken

Ken waved to them goodbye before hearing someone coming from behind him

He turns and sees Adeku

"yo" the Unova League Champion greeted Ken

"Adeku-san" Ken said


Ken and Adeku were sitting at a park's bench as Adeku was telling Ken all about his Grandfather during his younger days

"your grandfather was a strong and passionate man in his Trainer days" Adeku said "he laughed, cried, and fought with his Pokémon to the fullest, he was by far one of my most respected friends"

Adeku closed his eyes as the memories of him battling against Osamu came flooding in

"did he ever become Champion?" Ken asked

"he did and he did not" Adeku replied

"he did and he did not? What do you mean?" Ken asked in confusion

"let's say he decided to challenge me just for the fun of it" Adeku explained "back in the day, Osamu only wanted to battle with his Pokémon for fun, he didn't care if it was for a title nor if it was for anything at all , he only wanted to have a fun battle that will be remembered for a long time"

"hahahaha! Remembering our battle always makes me have a laugh no matter what!" Adeku said laughing

Flashback

Adeku was facing against Osamu as the two had their Pokémon clashed against each other before the Adeku's Pokémon collapsed

"hahahaha! That was by far the greatest battle!" Adeku exclaimed "congratulations, Osamu! You are now Unova's Champion!"

"hahaha, thanks but no thanks!" Osamu exclaimed with a big grin "I only wanted to have a great battle!"

"what do you mean?" Adeku asked surprise

"that battle was great, right?!" Osamu asked as Adeku nodded "than that's enough reason for me to challenge you! Our battle will always be remembered!"

Osamu started laughing as Adeku grins before laughing as well

Flashback ends

"hahahaha! That man had a fun way of asking for a battle!" Adeku said with a grin "thanks to our battle, i travel around the world to find more trainers like him!"

"that's Grandpa, alright" Ken said with a sigh

"Ken, come to Unova League" Adeku said as Ken looks to the man "in the Unova Region, there are thousands and thousands of more Pokémon that are unlike the ones in Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, and even Sinnoh!"

"Unova, huh?" Ken said before looking to the moon above "more Pokémon that I've never seen before and Trainers from many places"

"what do you say?" Adeku asked

"I'll go" Ken said standing up "and when I get there, I'm going straight to the top and challenge you again, Adeku-san. not as the Sinnoh Tournament Champion but as Ken from Lavender Town!"

"that's a fine resolve!" Adeku said as he laughed "I can't wait for you to come!"

"yes, but first…" Ken said before he looks back and finds Shirona bidding goodbye to Oba and the others "…I've got a promise to fulfill first"

Adeku nodded in understanding before he and Ken shook each other hand


Shirona waved goodbye to Oba and the others as they were going back for the day

"Shirona" someone called out as Shirona turns to see Ken

"Ken" Shirona smiled seeing him as Ken approached her

"Oba and the others are going in for the day?" Ken asked as Shirona nodded

The two then started walking around the place with each other as they chatted with each other

"so, your next stop is the Champion League, right?" Shirona asked as Ken nodded

"and I'm planning to go for the Unova league after it" Ken said as this surprised Shirona "Adeku-san just told me that my Grandpa once challenge Adeku in the past and won"

"and you're going there to challenge Adeku again just like your grandfather?" Shirona asked as he nodded

"I'm pumped up! Going to a new region! Meeting new Pokemons and great trainers! That's just exciting!" Ken said as he grins like a child

Shirona giggles a bit seeing him like that before the two reached to a small park that had a pond in it

The two take a seat as they watched the moon above

"I'm going to go on a quick training Trip with Golurk and the others" Ken said "once we've done training, we're heading straight for the Champion League"

Ken then looks to Shirona as he smirks "and we're going to have our re-match"

"come then" Shirona said as the two had a spark of rivalry flying between them

"ah! It's Ken and Shirona!" "they're there!" "they're together too!"

Screams were heard as the Ken's fanclub, Shirona's fanclub, and the Kerona's fan club came stampeding in

"they're so relentless!" Ken exclaimed before he called out Golurk. He then carries up Shirona bridal style and made Shirona let out a short scream of surprise

Ken then jumps into Golurk's hand as the Automaton Pokémon holds them close

"hang on tight!" Ken exclaimed as Golurk takes off to the air

"please wait! Ken-sama! Shirona-sama!" the fan screams as they chased after them


In the air, Golurk flies away with Ken and Shirona as the two Trainers were huddled close to each other

"man, every single day those fans are making me go crazy as a dizzy Hypno" Ken said as Shirona giggles

Golurk then stops mid air as the crazy fans had stopped chasing after them

"good" Ken said "Golurk, brings us down slowly"

Golurk nodded in reply before slowly descending but stopped when Cresselia appeared near the moon

"Cresselia?" Ken and Shirona looks to the legendary Pokemon as it was dancing in the moonlight

"beautiful" Shirona said as she and Ken watched the beautiful dance

Cresselia let out a cry before it flies away and disappeared

Ken looks to the moon as Cresselia had already disappeared

"Shirona" Ken called out as Shirona looks to Ken who was blushing a bit "um, I don't know how to put this…i..um…you know…want to thank you for your help!...and I uh, I mean we!..uh, what was those words? What I'm saying is that I'm really grateful of you being my friend! And I want to ask if you….uh….i'm asking you if you…have some time….for a…..a….a"

Shirona looks to Ken as she giggled to his embarrassed face

"a…a….a d-d-d-da-" Ken stuttered out before Shirona suddenly gives him a kiss to the cheek that made his eyes bulge out

"I would love to" Shirona said with a smile as Ken's face instantly turned red and steam started to pop out

Shirona giggles as Ken got red as a Magby

"wa-wa-wa-wa-wa!" Ken stuttered out in embarrassment as the man blushed non stop

Golurk started laughing as Shirona giggles to Ken

"Don't laugh!"


That's a wrap!

Bye bye
