On with the story

Two days later, a ferry was off to the sea as it heads for Chocovine town where there is a Pokémon Contest awaiting its Coordinators. Right now, it sails into the vast sea while accompanied by a flock of Wingulls and Pelippers.

"cannoball!" exclaimed Shirina who wears a white one-piece swimsuit before she jumps off a pool plank and into the swimming pool on the ferry. A big splash of water flies everywhere as Osamu, Kirika, Minny, and Kenji who were already in the pool got splashes by it. Shirina came out of the water as she had a happy laugh.

"you done it now, Shiri!" said Kirika before splashing some water at her best friend.

"I'm just starting!" replied Shirina who splash some waters back at Kirika. The two started to have a water fight while Osamu and the others stayed away from it.

"they're always like this when we go to a pool" said Osamu as he with Kenji and Minny watches the two girls splash water at each other like a pair of energetic kids.

Near the pool is Akira who is resting on a chair under an umbrella shade, he wore a tropical shirt with shorts while having sunglasses on. Miyuki is beside her as she was watching Shirina and the others play in the pool while she is just sitting around with Ralts on her lap, the small Pokemon drinking a glass of cold Oran Berry Juice.

"is it good, Ralts?" asked Miyuki as Ralts let out a happy cry and smiled before drinking more of its Oran Berry Juice. Miyuki giggles with a smile as she patted Ralts head a few times before looking back at Shirina and the others who are now having a chicken fight by dragging in Osamu and Minny.

Meanwhile at the upper deck. Ken and Shirona were at the lounging area, both wore matching outfits while enjoying a relaxing time together.

"this is really nice, Ken" said Shirona while enjoying an Ice Cream Banana boat.

"yeah" replied Ken with a smile as he sips his glass of iced tea.

After things in Canalave City, Ken and Shirona decided to tag along with Shirina and the others on their trip for Chocovine town, planning to watch Osamu and the other's performance in the contest while taking the whole team rocket invading thing to a temporary rest.

Ken looks at the pool as he sees his daughter and son gets pushed down in the chicken fight with Kirika and Minny. He chuckles before he saw the shadow of Darkrai nearby the umbrella shades above Akira and Miyuki. Ken smiles before he sips his iced tea again.


Night quickly came as the moon with the stars appeared.

"this is living the life~!" said Shirina as she let out a satisfied exhale after eating dinner on the ferry's dining area.

"you said it" said Kirika as her stomach is full and stuffed.

"would anyone like dessert?" a waiter asked in and Shirina with Kirika raised their hands while their eyes sparkle and mouth drooled.

"me!" the two exclaimed in unison as they want ice cream.

"do they have second stomachs for dessert or something?" said Kenji with a sweatdrop.

"seems like it" replied Minny with a sweatdrop as well.

Osamu munches down on his fruit salad before he sips his juice drink, he then looks around and realized that his father and mother weren't with them.

"that's strange" said Osamu looking around.

"what is?" said Akira, hearing Osamu's words.

"I don't see my Mama and Papa around here" said Osamu as everyone realized it as well.

"they did come in with us, right?" said Miyuki while Ralts is eating her Pokémon Food on her lap. They look around as they had no idea that Ken with Shirona were at a different area of the ferry's dining area.


At the upper deck level, Ken and Shirona were in the VIP lounge as they were having a single night dinner together. Ken wearing a handsome tuxedo while Shirona wore a beautiful glimmering black dress with her cream color hair tied into a ponytail like her daughter.

"a night filled with glimmering stars…" said Shirona while admiring the stars in the night sky and then looks at the dining table she is sharing with her husband. "and a romantic dinner on a ferry cruise…when did you planned this?"

"let's just say.." said Ken while holding Shirona's hands and caress them "…I planned it from the Butterfree"

"oh you" said Shirona with a loving smile and a giggle.

The two had their romantic dinner to themselves as it is just them and only for them. Soon a low melodious music started to play out from a music speaker as Ken and Shirona stood up and holds each other for a dance.

"the song that played on our wedding dance" said Shirona as she is twirled around by Ken who then holds her close while taking a one and two steps back and forth dance with her. "you were nervous at the time, right?"

"I was" said Ken while holding Shirona close before giving her a loving smile. "but now, I am not"

Ken twirls Shirona around before both started to move back and forth slowly with each other. Both Champion Masters just stays with each other for hours under the beautiful night sky, both in their own world together.

After a while, Shirona and Ken watch the beautiful sea that is glittering with the reflection of the stars above.

"just like our first night dinner at Eterna City, right?" asked Ken to Shirona as he holds her waist from behind while they watch the stars.

"only lovelier" replied Shirona with a smile as she leans close to Ken while having a happy face. Ken pecks Shirona's neck before he holds her closer. The two sees that the moon was glowing in a beautiful radiance as it is a perfect night for the two married couple.

"I can guess Shirina and Osamu are probably asleep in their rooms by now" said Ken as Shirona nodded with a smile. "they grow up so fast, don't they?"

"yes" replied Shirona before she turns towards Ken and leans hear head close to his broad chest. "our children are growing up very fast"

"yeah, they are" said Ken as he pecks Shirona's forehead before hugging her close to him even more.

The two went in silence for a good 5 minutes before Ken decided to break it.

"hey, Shirona" said Ken in a whispering voice.

"what is it?" asked Shirona while feeling the warmth of Ken's hug.

"with Shirona and Osamu growing up and all..i was wondering" said Ken as he paused for a moment before continuing. "should we have another?"

"another?" said Shirona before looking at Ken. "what do you mean?"

"well…I mean" said Ken as he awkwardly smiled while scratching his chin. "should we have another….kid?"

Shirona looks at him as her eyes widen a bit with her cheeks going a bit red.

"i-It's not that I'm forcing you or anything!" blurted Ken with an embarrassed look "I'm just saying that if they go on their own journey into other regions, things might be lonely without them at our home and all! So…it would be nice to have…another child to raise and see her/him grow up like their older siblings?"

Shirona looks at Ken before she started giggling and had a small laugh to his embarrassed face.

"Ken, you and your way of saying things" said Shirona with a giggle as Ken just looks awkwardly embarrassed. She then leans up to give Ken a peck on his lips before smiling. "alright, let's have another"

Ken looks red as he did not think that Shirona would just say it.

Now, Shirona watched an embarrassed Ken stutter about having another child with her as he started saying that they should do it back home, or something as he is just a mess when he is embarrassed.


That's a wrap!

Bye bye
