"Someone page me?"
Max turned, seeing Brock had arrived. With him was Pike Queen Lucy.
Everyone exclaimed, "Brock!"
Brock stated, "Hey everyone! I want everyone to meet my girlfriend, Pike Queen Lucy."
Lucy greeted, "Hello."
Everyone blinked in confusion, "You have a girlfriend?!"
"I know, it surprised us too."
Professor Kukuki and Professor Burnet had arrived with their son, Lei. With them Lillie, Gladion, Sophocles, Lana, Mallow, Olivia, and Kiawe arrived.
Drew said, "That must be the Alola group."
Lillie confirmed, "Yes, we are."
Gladion asked, "Are you Drew then? Aren't you the Prince of Hoenn or something?"
To that, Drew blushed modestly. He cleared his throat, "Yes, I am."
Olivia teased, "Just had to be the prince, huh? To be closer to your princess?"
Drew and May both blushed at that. Everyone laughed.
"And here we thought Molly was a princess."
Professor Hale had arrived with his wife and daughter. Upon seeing Molly, Max blushed.
He said to himself, "Uh oh."
Brock stated, "Glad to see you, Professor Hale."
Hale regarded, "Same to you, Brock."
Lucy looked at his wife and said, "And this must be Krystal?"
Krystal replied, "Yes, ma'am. And you are one of the Battle Frontier Brains, right?"
Lucy confirmed, "That I am."
"And you are so cool!"
Barry and Bianca had arrived. They were also holding hands.
Dawn blinked, "Wait, you two are dating?"
Barry confirmed, "Yes we are!"
Dawn was confused, "Is anyone else dating that I oughta know about?!"
To that, everyone laughed. Olivia turned to Kiawe, smiling softly. Kiawe smiled at her. Dawn's eyes were wide. There were a lot of couples.
"Dawn!"
Dawn turned, seeing Zoey there. With her were Paul and a teen around their age. She had short brown hair, green eyes, wearing a silver locket around her neck, a white short sleeved shirt, a purple skirt, and a purple pouch with white shoes. Her name was Ranee Katina. They were also holding hands.
Dawn complained, "Oh come on! Even Paul's dating?!"
Paul gruffly stated, "Yeah, what's it to you?"
Ranee started to say, "Paul..."
Paul interrupted, "And in either event, you're one to talk. You and Kenny are dating."
To that Dawn and Kenny both blushed. Ranee giggled.
Zoey put her hands behind her head and admitted, "To be fair, I'm not dating yet."
Lillie scratched the side of her head, "Neither are me and Gladion."
Gladion huffed, "Not a lack of trying."
"That leads to desire."
Daisy, Tracey, Lily, and Violet had arrived. Daisy had an engagement ring on her finger.
"Eek, are you and Tracey engaged?!" May shrieked.
Daisy giggled, "Yes, we are!"
Everyone offered their congrats to the newly engaged couple.
Harley asked, "When did this happen, hon?"
Daisy answered, "It was a while back, before Ash became World Champion. He was so nervous!"
Tracey blushed, "Of course I was nervous! It's so hard proposing to a beautiful lady like you."
Daisy was the one to blush now.
Solidad pointed out, "You two are so cute."
"Not as cute as my brother!"
Rudy, Melody, and Mahri had finally arrived.
Solidad teased, "Eh, Harley is cuter."
Harley wound up blushing, only for a minute. Solidad giggled.
"I got to say this is turning into a massive party."
Goh and Chloe had arrived.
"Hey Goh. Hey Chloe." Max greeted.
Chloe stated, "Greetings, Max."
Max blinked, "I thought Gary would be with you two."
Goh clarified, "He said that he'd be late getting here. He wanted to pick up Miss Jones."
Olivia asked, "Whose Miss Jones?"
Kiawe was about to answer when they heard a voice.
"That be me!"
Gary and a teen around his age had arrived. She had long brownish hair, blue eyes, wearing a green blouse with quarter inch sleeves and sky blue sparkles on it, short brown jean skirt, black nylons, white shoes, and a sky blue headband and on it was a green Pokeball pattern. Her name was Erika Jones.
Gary introduced, "Everyone, please meet my girlfriend, Erika Jones."
Erika waved, "Hello everyone!"
Everyone greeted her happily. It was at that time where Ms. Ketchum and Professor Oak had come over.
Oak smiled, "You are doing a splendid job setting up."
May turned to the professor, "Thanks, Professor."
Delia told them, "I must agree but we'll need some help with the food now. Who wants to help?" Everyone raised their hands, making Delia giggle. She teased, "I don't think I'll need that much help."
Brock stated, "Lucy and I could help, Ms. Ketchum."
Cilan replied, "So can Iris and I."
Delia responded, "That would be great, thank you. The rest of you can finish setting up."
Brock, Lucy, Cilan, and Iris all followed Delia back to the kitchen.
May thought for a moment, "I was just thinking. Where is Misty? I thought she would be here by now."
Gary told her, "I asked her to try and delay Ashy-boy until we get everything set up."
Dawn giggled, "Ashy-boy?"
Kenny teased, "Dee-Dee is a way better nickname."
To that, Dawn blushed out of embarrassment and love.
"I still can't believe that the twerp is now the World Champion."
Jessie, James, and Meowth had arrived. They had left Team Rocket recently so they hadn't changed out of their uniforms. They still had their Pokemon.
Bonnie admitted, "And it's hard to believe that you three hadn't left Team Rocket sooner."
Jessie stated, "Yeah, we know."
James added, "But it has been a part of our lives for a long time."
Meowth responded, "There's no way that we can catch that Pikachu now. We realize that now."
Gary shrugged, "Well, better late than never."
Dawn gasped, "Was that a poem?"
Erika huffed, "Hey, back off, he's my boyfriend!"
Brock replied, "Don't worry, she does this all of the time."
Dawn just chuckled sheepishly. Piplup giggled at its trainer, earning a glare from the Coordinator. Piplup stopped, just smiling at her.
Dawn teased, "I'm watching you."
"Piplup!" Piplup said, giggling a bit.
...
Later on that day, Anabel arrived. She was holding hands with Looker. She had started to work with the international police.
May blinked, "I didn't even know that you were interested in working with them, Anabel."
Max added, "Yeah and what about Scott? Does he know that you are working for them?"
Anabel told the siblings, "Actually it was Scott's idea in the first place. He wanted me to help with the international police because of my ability to sense others feelings."
Looker stated, "It's been really amazing seeing her in action. She even gave me a Poochyena as a partner." He turned to Anabel and asked, "Isn't Scott coming to this thing?"
Anabel frowned unsure, "He said he might not be able to make it. He said he wanted to get to Twinleaf Town to check on Palmer? I'm not sure."
Lucy was about to say something to her fellow Battle Frontier member when she heard a voice.
"Hey everyone!"
