Not a trainer this time.

Chapter 565 Wedding Day

Naoki had never thought of letting Ho-Oh use the sacred fire to set off fireworks, and what he didn't expect was that Ho-Oh actually came down from the World Tree with Jirachi.

Naoki stood on the snow with a large group of Pokémon, looking in shock at the Ho-Oh that fell from the sky.

But... isn't Feng Wang too showy?
It actually left a rainbow on its way across the night...

"Jirachi has invited Ho-Oh!" Jirachi happily flew around in the night sky.

Naoki: "..."

He sighed helplessly, looked at the Pokémon around him who had been waiting for a long time, and then said:

"Okay, I declare that the first fireworks display of Naoki Ranch has officially begun!"

Following Naoki's order, the surrounding Pokémon cheered and then swarmed to the fireworks placed on the snow.

In order to let every Pokémon experience the feeling of setting off fireworks, Naoki bought a lot of fireworks, divided them into several parts, and placed them in different locations on the open space.

At this moment, there were groups of Pokémon surrounding each firework.

The Eevees gathered around a firework, and many of them turned their eyes to the Flareon with an expression that said "it's up to you".

Having shouldered such an important task, Flareon was filled with a sense of mission. It nodded its big furry head vigorously and took a deep breath.

The next second, a beam of hot flame gushed out, melting the snow on the ground and igniting the fuse of the fireworks.

The fuse burned out quickly, and with a whoosh sound, a ball of light rose from the fireworks into the night sky. When it reached the highest point, it exploded and turned into a sky full of dazzling fireworks, brilliant but short-lived.

Frostmilk sat on the head of a saltstone djinn, and five saltstone djinns, three gophers, three bees, Butterfree and Babu Groundhog surrounded Gulton.

When it was a motorcycle lizard, Gul'ton didn't know how to use fire-attribute moves to light fireworks, but now that it has become Gul'ton, it has a lot of fun setting off fireworks.

Looking at the fireworks lit by himself blooming in the sky, Gu Leton couldn't help but think: So this is what it feels like to set off fireworks?
Motorcycle Lizard, Eruption, Saifuhao, and Qishu's Electric Belly Frog surrounded Dragonite. Dragonite waved its fist and used flaming fist at the fuse. The next second, the fuse was ignited and fireworks bloomed in the night sky.

Motorlizard was extremely envious when he saw that Dragonite and Gulliver could both light fireworks.

Jirachi floated beside Ho-Oh and pestered it to help him light the fireworks.

Ho-Oh is very fond of this small and cute Pokémon with a pitiful life. It gladly agreed to Jirachi's request and spit out a cluster of small flames at the fuse.

Soon, another beautiful firework bloomed in the night sky.

The Rape Crown King did not participate in it. He stood nearby with his two beloved horses, looking up to admire this rare beauty.

"It's so lively!" the Rape Crown King exclaimed softly.

He had never seen such a scene before in the Crown Snowfield, and had never had so many Pokémon around him.

Lingyou Horse and Snowstorm Horse gently flicked their tails and snorted, as if in agreement with the words of the Crown of Flowers.

The fuses were lit, and bunches of fireworks lit up the night sky of Naoki Ranch.

This beautiful scene was reflected in the eyes of the Pokémon. Even the ancient Flutterwing could not help but be moved by this scene.

Ho-Oh was also admiring this scene, but soon, it turned its gaze to Naoki who was standing on the snow not far away.

This person is the human that it has its eyes on. Now is the time. It's time to let the Pokémon of the Ho-Oh Guard come and meet Naoki, Ho-Oh thought.

"It's so beautiful!"

Naoki and Qishu stood behind the Pokémon, looking at the Pokémon in front of them playing in the snow like children, and a smile appeared on their faces.

"Sometimes I have a feeling." Naoki said.

"Hmm?" Qishu turned his head and looked at Naoki's profile.

"Raising these Pokémon is like raising children." Naoki suddenly felt that even if they had their own children in the future, he would raise them as Pokémon.

Treating Pokémon as children and children as Pokémon, this is probably the only place in the world where people treat Pokémon as children.
Qishu agreed with Naoki's words.

She recalled her experience of raising Light Tadpole and Dream Demon into Electric Belly Frog and Dream Demon, and suddenly burst out laughing and said, "They are just children!"

At this time, Naoki saw that all the fireworks had been set off, so he shouted to the Pokémon:

"Here are some small fireworks you can hold in your hands and set off!"

Hearing this, Gulden and the others were immediately attracted over.

"Hold it! After lighting it, don't point it at other Pokémon. Be careful!" Naoki distributed fireworks such as fairy wands to a group of Pokémon and reminded them.

"Ah gah!"

The sensible Pokémon responded one after another, and then ran away holding the fireworks.

At this moment, the Arceus that Naoki had in his pocket started to ring.

Naoki was slightly stunned, then he took out his cell phone, and then he received a notification.

[Your Pokémon Mew and Bear Baby have entered the Mysterious Maze and started their adventure! ]

[Dream and Baby Bear have entered the world of "Mystery Dungeon Rescue Team DX"! 】

"What's wrong?" Qi Shu, who was standing by, saw Naoki stunned and couldn't help asking.

Naoki shook his head: "Meow and Baby Bear entered the gate of time and space to explore other worlds."

"Are those worlds dangerous?" Qi Shu was a little worried.

"Yes, there will be... but with the power of Mew and Baby Bear, those dangers are nothing to them." Naoki said.

With Mew's super powers, plus the bear cub's super luck and ability to escape, no Pokémon can stop them.

It's just that the two Pokémon were too impatient and didn't even come to tell him...

As expected, he is as playful as a child!

But Mew and Bear Baby must have heard that there were Pokémon that needed to be rescued there, so they couldn't wait to set out on the adventure, right?
I just don't know when they will come back. Looking at the message that Arceus' phone has stopped updating, Naoki sighed helplessly.

Until then, he can only wait!

The Pokémon played for a long time, and by the end, all of them had happy exhaustion on their faces.

Some Pokémon acted coquettishly towards Naoki, wanting him to carry them home. Naoki gently carried them back and placed them in their nest.

However, after seeing this scene, some big Pokémon also imitated the small Pokémon and started to act coquettishly towards Naoki.

Naoki: "..."

After a lot of effort, he and Qishu finally sent the tired Pokémon back to their nests.

These Pokémon lay in their warm and soft nest, looked at Naoki in front of them, closed their eyes peacefully, and fell asleep.

After everything was done, a melodious bell sound from Ziqin Town floated over.

With the ringing of the midnight bell, time finally moved from the 201st year of the Alliance Calendar to the 202nd year.

This year marks the fifth year that Naoki has come into this world, and also the fifth year that he has met everyone.

After the New Year, the ice and snow melt, and all things on earth begin to revive.

In this spring season when flowers are blooming, Naoki and Qishu's wedding is held as scheduled.

The wedding was held at the beach in Ziqin Town. Naoki changed into a white suit, looking straight and handsome. Qishu also wore a white wedding dress. Her face was reflected in the blue sea, and she looked incredibly beautiful.

Gu Leton and Qi Shu's electric-bellied frog stayed beside the two of them, playing the role of flower girl.

Other Pokémon also gathered on the beach, gazing at the blue sea while eating delicious food.

Ursa was happily running and jumping on the beach, Butterfree and Tribeca were enjoying delicious desserts, and a large group of deliverymen Dragonite were standing by the sea, chatting loudly...

At ten o'clock in the morning, the wedding was about to take place and guests from all over the world rushed to Ziqin Town.

Naoki went over to receive them personally, and the first person to arrive was Adek, the champion of the United League.

Today, Adek also changed into a suit and combed his hair meticulously, looking extremely formal.

His fiery red hair sparkled in the sunlight, and since his Vulcan Moth wound healed, Adek seemed to have a second spring in life.

"Congratulations!" The man congratulated Naoki seriously and generously.

The two smiled at each other without saying anything. Naoki gently patted Adek's shoulder and invited him, "Sit down first!"

Adek nodded and then took his seat.

Ye Ci and Xin Li were the second to arrive, and in this wedding, she played the role of witness.

"It's so exciting!" Ye Ci said with a smile, "Congratulations, Naoki! From now on, you won't be alone anymore!" Naoki: "..." I always felt that Ye Ci's eyes were a little malicious.

But Naoki couldn't figure it out, so he just stopped thinking and said, "Chief, please go sit over there for a while! I'll be asking you for help in a while."

"Don't worry, just leave it to me!" Ye Ci promised.

Naoki nodded, then looked at Xin Li beside him.

Xin Li nodded slightly at him and gave him her blessing in a concise manner: "Happy wedding."

"Thank you." Naoki thanked him.

"See you later!" After saying that, Ye Ci and Xin Li left.

The third person to arrive was Daigo, representing the Hoenn Alliance.

Daigo was filled with admiration for the man who saved the Hoenn region when he saw him again.

Because after that, he heard about the man's great battle with the God who created the world.

Although others don't know the identity of the masked man, Daigo knows it very well.

Without a doubt, this is a great man!
"Happy wedding." Daigo said.

"Thank you very much, please come in!" Naoki smiled and led people to Adek's side, letting the two champions sit together.

Professor Oak was the fourth to arrive.

He took off his white coat, changed into an ordinary suit, and laughed, "Originally, Xiaozhi and Xiaomao wanted to come with me when they heard that you were getting married, but they had to continue their own journey, so I am the only one who came! Naoki, congratulations!"

Naoki smiled and invited, "Glad that you're here, come and take a seat!"

"Then I won't disturb you from entertaining the guests!" said Professor Oak, sitting next to Adek and starting chatting with him.

Nimo was the fifth to arrive.

Her housekeeper drove a black stretched luxury car to the wedding scene. As soon as she got out of the car, Nimo said with high morale:
"Mr. Naoki, have a Pokémon battle with me!"

Naoki: "..."

Nimo's housekeeper stood by with an embarrassed look on her face. Miss! This is someone else's wedding!
However, Naoki couldn't help laughing. This behavior was indeed very Nemo!
"Of course, but can we wait until after the wedding and then have a fight to end it?" Naoki asked.

Nimo nodded repeatedly: "Yeah! It's settled then!"

"Let's go over there and take a rest!" Naoki said.

Neemo nodded, then ran over to observe Naoki's Pokémon.

Seeing Nemo's actions, Naoki felt helpless.

As soon as he turned around, he saw Dr. Olin bringing Piper to the ranch.

Seeing the person coming, Naoki hurried to greet him.

"Dr. Olin, Piper, hello!"

"Hello, Mr. Naoki." Piper said a little embarrassedly.

Dr. Olin smiled and touched his son's head with his hand: "Futuo stayed in the institute and was busy with work, so I was the only one who came here."

"It's okay, it's okay. It's good that people can come. Papa, are you hungry? There are a lot of food I prepared over there. You and the doctor can go and eat something to fill your stomach!" Naoki said.

Dr. Olin smiled and said, "Then we won't bother you anymore. See you later."

After that, she took Piper to her seat.

Looking at the backs of the two, Naoki couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

Although Papa, who was standing next to her mother, still had a grumpy face, her actions were very honest!

Not only did she help Dr. Olin get food, she also sat obediently next to the doctor to keep her company.

What an awkward Papa!

Naoki glanced at the scene. Qishu's parents, guests from all over, gym masters like Gurusha, and everyone from the town of Ziqin, Mayor Thomas, Mrs. Dantes, Mr. Elif, Aiello, Claire, and Ivan had all arrived early. Everyone should be here, right?

However, at this moment, he suddenly heard a familiar voice.

"Hey Naoki, we're not late, are we?"

Naoki turned around and saw Dantei with a bright smile and a girl in a tweed coat walking towards him side by side.

The girl waved enthusiastically at Naoki: "Hello, Naoki, I'm Sonia, I heard about you from Dantei!"

Sonia? Naoki was slightly stunned.

But Dandi grinned and said, "In order to prevent myself from getting lost and missing your wedding, I invited Sonia to come with me! I can't miss such an important occasion!"

"I'm not going to get used to you not getting lost." Naoki said deliberately.

Sonia on the side burst out laughing: "That's right, this guy Dan Di, even going to the competition site will get lost!"

"Where is that?" Dan Di scratched his head embarrassedly.

Naoki said with a smile: "Come in and sit down, the wedding is about to begin!"

"Uh-huh!"

Dante and Sonia also took their seats.

When all the guests arrived, the wedding officially began.

Qishu's father took his daughter's arm and walked from the other end of the red carpet, and handed his daughter to Naoki with red eyes.

Seeing the man's look, Naoki assured him, "I will take good care of her!"

The man nodded slightly, then turned and retreated behind the crowd, quietly wiping away his tears.

Naoki held Qishu's hand and walked to Yeci, who was serving as the witness.

Ye Ci looked at the two of them with a smile, and then began his speech:
"Good afternoon, dear guests, relatives and friends! On this day filled with joy and love, I am very honored to stand here as the witness of this beautiful wedding and express my sincere blessings to everyone."

"I am extremely happy to see this pair of lovers finally get married. Perhaps there will be many storms in the long journey of life..."

Naoki looked into Qishu's eyes, and at this moment he could not hear any sound.

His heart was filled with joy and excitement. From now on, he was a family man. They would take care of Pokémon together, grow old together, and stay together forever.

In the guest seats, the woman looked at the scene on the stage and tears fell uncontrollably.

Their daughter has grown up, and from now on, she will leave them and live with her own husband.

But children always have to grow up.

Even though we feel reluctant, we still wish them happiness.

"…Finally, I wish you everlasting love, everlasting marriage and happiness! I also wish all the guests good health and all the best. Thank you all!"

"Clap clap clap!"

There was warm applause from the guest seats.

The azure sea ripples with golden waves, and in the gentle sea breeze, people sincerely wish the newlyweds to grow old together and stay together for the rest of their lives.

In the crowd, Piper secretly looked at Dr. Olin who was clapping with a smile on his face.

At this moment, there were no ancient Pokémon between them, no various experiments and research, and no chasm of the Padia Pit. They were just like an ordinary mother and son who came to attend a friend's wedding.

Just now, Mom was even talking to him about how she would be very happy when he gets married in the future.

"Hmm?" Noticing Piper's gaze, Dr. Olin turned his head and asked with concern, "What's wrong, Piper?"

"It's okay!" Papa shook his head quickly.

"Then enjoy this wedding! Naoki's family's food tastes very good!" Dr. Olin chuckled.

Papa stared at her mother in a daze, then nodded vigorously: "Yeah!"

At this moment, Piper felt that she was surrounded by happiness.

How wonderful! I wish time could stay at this moment forever, Piper thought.
