Epilogue: One Door Closes, And Another Opens!
Everyone watches on in shock and awe, wondering which of the starters will remain standing. After a few momens of silence, Swampert and Sceptile slowly stagger to the feet, fighting to not fall again. Suddenly Swampert winced.
Michael/Delphox/Empoleon - "Swampert!/Big Bro!"
Sceptile smirked, then suddenly collapsed. Swirls were in his eyes as he hit the ground. No one spoke or did anything. The silence was then finally broken by Tim's announcement.
Tim - "Sceptile is unable to battle! Swampert wins!"
Mikey's Remaining Pokémon: 1 – 1 = 0
Tim - "All six of Mikey's Pokémon are unable to battle. So the winner of the battle, and the entire Kanto Victory Road Tourney, is Michael Masi of Pokémon Island!"
It took only a second, but soon everyone knew the result.
Michael - "We won... WE WON!"
The entire crowd cheered along with Michael. Michael then fell to his knees, crying tears of joy at all of his hard work paying off. Michael and Mikey were then ushered off the stage and back towards the locker room.
Michael - "Sorry for the sweep Mikey."
Mikey - "Don't worry about it. I'll admit though I thought for sure I had Swampert for sure after that exchange."
Michael - "I did as well to be honest."
Mikey - "But you are the better trainer and you won, so congratulations."
Michael - "Thanks I guess."
Mikey - "However. I WILL use this loss to make me and my team stronger. So don't think for a sec that you'll beat us so easily next time."
Mikey held out his hand.
Michael - "Not a problem. I'm always up for a challenge."
Michael took Mikey's hand and shook it. The duo were then led to the nearby restaurant, where Michael would give his decisionon if he would face Kanto's Elite Four or not. Mikey was led to a large table that the rest of the Party was at, while Michael was led towards the stage. Mr. Goodshow then walked up to the mic.
Mr. Goodshow - "Hello everyone. Well I have to admit. That was the most fun of a Region's Victory Road Tourney I've ever watched. What do you all say?"
The crowd in the restaurant responded with a roaring yes.
Mr. Goodshow - "There's the answer I wanted to hear. Anyway, I won't take up any more time. Here's the man of the hour, Michael Masi himself."
The entire crowd stood and applauded as Michael walked up on stage, kindly taking the mic from Mr. Goodshow.
Michael - "Thank you for the introduction, Mr. Goodshow. And thank you to the crowd for the applause. And I'll admit. This entire tourney was a hell of a fun time. I believe I even set a league tourney record with my 26-match win streak. Anyway. Let's quickly move on to the elephant in the room. am I going to challenge Kanto's Elite Four? The answer? Yes."
The crowd cheered loudly. Michael then uickly silenced them.
Michael - "I wasn't done yet. I said I WILL challenge Kanto's Elite Four, but not now."
Lance - "Can you explain why Michael?"
Michael - "Of course Lance. Now then. As everyone here knows, the Indigo Plateau is home to NOT just Kanto's Indigo Conference, but ALSO Johto's Silver Conference. Before I even started my journey across Kanto, I had ALREADY decided on this course of action. I mean, what's the point of fighting two Region's Elite Four's sepaarately, when I can just fighting them bothAT THE SAME TIME! But, right now the challenge is only half complete. When I DO win Johto's Victory Road tourney, I WILL challenge BOTH Elite Four's together. And because both Elite Four's and the champion are the exact same trainer, that saves me from doing three extra battles. And for those wondering, here's the order for when this all happens: Lorelei, Will, Koga, Bruno, Agatha, Karen, and finally Lance. I win ALL seven of these battles, and I become your new Kanto and Johto League Champion. Ok that's all for me. Back to you Mr. Goodshow."
Mr. Goodshow took back the mic as Michael returned to his friends and sisters. Mr. Goodshow aid a few parting words, then capped it off that the closing ceremony would be in a few hours. Soon lunch was over and everyone packed the main stadium for the closing ceremony. Mr. Goodshow held a quick speech, and with that the tourney came to a close. Soon the party got on the piers south of Pallet Town.
Michael - "Well. Guess this is where we say so long for now."
Mikey - "Yeah. You guys won't be seeing me, John, or Jack till we all get back here for the Silver Conference."
Clair - "You guys stay safe then."
Mikey, John, and Jack then walked off towards the cruise ship that would take them to Johto. Meanwhile, the rest of the party were about to go their separate ways.
Michael - "Wait a sec. Calli. You and Kronii are coming with my group, right?"
Calli - "Yeah. Why do you ask?"
Michael - "Akira. Any chance we can get the rest of the girls their tickets changed to join us?"
Akira - "Let me check. Be right back."
Gura - "Why are you inviting us along Michael?"
Michael - "Well it's not fair that JUST Calli and Kronii get a personal tour of Pokémon Island after all, right?"
Kiara - "He's not wrong."
Clair - "Sadly I can't join you guys right now."
Yang - "Oh right. You have your duty as the Gym Leader of Blackthorn City."
Michael - "Don't worry Clair. We'll be back together in no time."
Clair - "I know Michael. You all stay safe ok."
Twilight - "You too."
Clair kissed Michael, then called out her Aerodactyl and flew off back towards Blackthorn City. Meanwhile Akira returned with the changed tickets, thus letting all of Hololive EN join on the trip back to Pokémon Island. After a day's trip on the cruise ship, it docked at the harbor and the party disembarked. There they were greeted by a massive welcoming party, which was led by John and Tracie. Michael handed his backpack to Ruby, then ran over and hugged his parents.
Tracie - "We're so proud of you."
Michael - "Thanks mom. You too dad."
John - "Not a problem son. Now come on. You and the girls deserve some time to relax to before heading off for Johto."
Michael then turned back towards the girls.
Michael - "You ladies coming or not?"
Girls - "Coming Michael!"
The girls then rushed towards Michael and the welcoming party. Ruby handed Michael back his backpack, then they were led away, happy to take a break from traveling for a bit.
