Musashi: “Ugh, so numb! They used electricity...”
Kojiro: “Musashi, Meowth, help! I can’t move...”
Meowth: “Meow, I’m numb too, meow...”
Seeing the three culprits who had caused him to be caught by Kiana, Satoshi showed a strange smile.
As Satoshi slowly approached, the three members of Team Rocket sensed something was amiss.
Kojiro: “Um, do you guys feel like that little brat is being a little... weird, meow?”
Musashi: “We know without you saying it.”
“Pikachu/Lapras, Double Dance!” *2
With Satoshi and Kiana’s synchronized commands, Pikachu and Lapras glided on the ice, charging towards Team Rocket. Then...
Duang!
Pikachu’s Iron Tail and Lapras’s Body Slam slammed into the trio, sending them soaring high. Then, Pikachu and Lapras danced around, continuously battering Team Rocket.
“Whoa!” *3
Duang!
“Yaaaaaaa!” *3
Duang!
“Waaaaaaa!” *3
As Pikachu and Lapras finally knocked Team Rocket into the sky, Kiana and Satoshi yelled in unison, “Double Dance, Waltz of Ice and Electricity!” *2
Lapras and Pikachu both glanced at Satoshi, then at each other, with mutual understanding.
Lapras: ‘They’re not getting married, the heavens wouldn’t allow it.’
Pikachu: ‘Yeah, Satoshi’s all talk.’
Then, Pikachu gathered an electric ball on its tail, while Lapras formed a huge ice spike in its mouth. The two attacks were released simultaneously, merging into a massive, lightning-charged ice arrow that hurtled towards Team Rocket.
“No way!” *3
Doang!
With a sky-piercing explosion, Team Rocket flew off hand-in-hand.
“This feeling is so annoying~~” *3
“Such a nuisance… I said, you should come down too, if others see, there will be rumors.”
Seeing Team Rocket flying away, Satoshi sighed in frustration, but then focused his attention on Kiana. She was still holding him.
To Satoshi's surprise, Kiana actually came down this time, making him breathe a sigh of relief.
“Okay, I'm not teasing you anymore. I apologize for what I did before. After all, I was desperate to get you.” Now, Kiana felt much more approachable, at least she wasn’t trying to eat him anymore. So, Satoshi smiled and said, “It’s okay, I know what you mean. But I can’t stand your method. So… long time no see, Kiana-san.”
Satoshi extended his hand towards Kiana, and she smiled, shaking his hand, saying, “Long time no see, Satoshi. I’m really happy to see you again.”
——Divider——
“Please evacuate in an orderly manner. Also, please don’t spread today’s events. It’s unfair to Satoshi. Keep it among yourselves!”
Under the guidance of staff, everyone evacuated in an orderly manner. Although there had been a few hiccups, everyone felt it was worth it, after all, they witnessed a Champion battle, and even the birth of a Champion Pokémon.
On Kasumi’s side, although she got Kiana’s autograph and was happy, she was being dragged around by her three older sisters, grilling her about Satoshi. After all, Kasumi brought back a handsome, skilled guy like Satoshi so soon after starting her journey, how could they not be curious? As for Takeshi, he didn’t want to be a third wheel. Seeing that Satoshi and Kiana had a lot to talk about, he left to find some beautiful older women.
“Satoshi, can you sign this agreement now?”
Kiana brought out the agreement again. This time, Satoshi looked at it seriously, but the more he looked, the more he felt something was off.
“Um? The Ice Family wants to work with me? I can do it, but why? As a top family, you shouldn't need my little help, right?”
Seeing Satoshi's puzzled expression, Kiana smiled and explained, “As long as you can continue to create medicines and new moves, your value is eternal. Besides, I can suppress Shirona steadily thanks to the moves we created together. For a genius like you, it's only natural for the Ice Family to want to work together, right?”
“Alright, but I need to talk to my mom, Professor Oak, and... my adopted dad...”
Kiana laughed and said, "Of course.”
Soon, Satoshi contacted Hana and the others. After confirming with them, he decided to cooperate with the Ice Family. However, Satoshi didn't understand why Hana, Sakaki, and Professor Oak looked at him so strangely.
After repeated confirmations from Satoshi, he finally signed his name. Kiana, with a happy expression, took the agreement and said, “By the way, Satoshi, do you know? I told my grandfather that I’d definitely make Lapras the Champion with your help this time, but he didn’t believe me.”
“Oh? Is that so? My apologies, he got slapped in the face.”
Seeing Satoshi, who still had no idea what was going on, Kiana’s smile widened. “Yeah, not only slapped in the face, he lost to the point that his granddaughter is going to get married. He said, if you really succeed, then he’d agree to my marrying you.”
Upon hearing this, the smile on Satoshi's face gradually disappeared. Then he noticed that Kiana’s gaze was once again that kind of wanting-to-eat-him gaze.
“You...”
Kiana licked her lips and then put the agreement aside. Beneath the agreement was a duplicate agreement!
“You already signed the marriage agreement, so we’re officially engaged. Don’t forget to deliver my ring and dowry quickly, oh~” Seeing Kiana's smug look, and recalling the expressions of his mom, Professor Oak, and Sakaki…
“Kiana! You tricked me!”
“Humph, opportunities always go to the prepared. You taught me that, Satoshi~” Then, this goddess in the hearts of countless people, Ice Champion Kiana, leaned in and kissed Satoshi.
“Hey, Daigo-san? I need to order a diamond ring, I’ll send you the design… ” Satoshi glanced at Kiana, who was staring at him with her lips parted. Satoshi sighed and continued, “This time, I want one from the frozen region, don’t worry, the payment won’t be a problem. I’ll prepare a Steel-type move that I created myself for you. Alright, thank you.”
After ending the call, Satoshi looked at Kiana and asked, “Satisfied? The dowry will be sent with the ring later.”
Kiana nodded with a smile, then threw her arms around Satoshi, burying her head in his chest. “This time, I truly have you, Satoshi.”
“Ah, you did it, Kiana-san.”
Satoshi smiled and held Kiana tightly. Perhaps, as Pikachu said, Satoshi was indeed all talk.
