Axel pulled on Gardevoir's arm and slowly approached Diao Chan and the white Gardevoir.
He opened his mouth, just about to say "long time no see," when he suddenly felt his arm get tugged.
["Idiot master… who told you to talk like you're meeting your ex-girlfriend?"]
Axel blinked, scratching the back of his head awkwardly, "Then what should I say?"
He honestly felt what he said was pretty good. It had that sense of time passing, perfectly fitting for a long-awaited reunion with Diao Chan.
Gardevoir rolled her eyes hard at him, now completely certain this guy really didn't attract trouble with women.
Before, she just believed Axel didn't want to. Now she was sure that even if he wanted to, he simply wouldn't be able to…
["Don't say anything in a bit. When Diao Chan wakes up, just go up and hug her."]
"Alright…", Axel nodded obediently.
Just as the two finished discussing how to talk to Diao Chan, Giratina's muffled telepathic voice suddenly came through.
["Um… that might not work."]
["When Arceus sealed Diao Chan, he was worried about accidents causing her to wake up early and lose her life as time passed, so he set a necessary awakening condition."]
"What condition?", Axel immediately became alert. It better not be some cliche task like defeating eight gym leaders and collecting badges.
Giratina glanced fearfully at Gardevoir, quietly took a step back, and opened a Distortion Gate, looking ready to bolt at any moment.
["It's not really difficult. Master, you just need to go up and give her a kiss…"]
"Huh?"
No matter how Axel thought about it, he never expected Arceus to have such a weird sense of humor.
"Pfft~", Diao Chan shot Giratina a glare. Even though she'd already made it clear she wasn't jealous, she still couldn't help but laugh.
She hadn't expected Arceus to be this unserious. No wonder he created a bunch of Pokémon like this.
Emmm… honestly, it fit way too well.
Axel leaned down slightly and gently kissed Diao Chan on the lips. Right after that, Gardevoir pressed him down and made him kiss the white Gardevoir as well.
A mysterious light instantly appeared from the two of them, wrapping both Axel and Gardevoir inside.
A blazing multicolored radiance burst forth, the commotion almost even more terrifying than when Pokémon undergo Dynamax.
Giratina quickly opened a portal above the rooftop, hiding the sky-piercing beam inside the Distortion World.
"Husband…", Diao Chan and the white Gardevoir slowly opened their eyes, both looking at Axel, surprise flashing in their gaze.
"So what that sheep-like Pokémon said was actually true… we really followed you back to your world?"
"This kind of power… it's truly astonishing."
Diao Chan looked like a young girl who had just stepped into the world, curiously observing the tall buildings behind Axel.
The white Gardevoir and the pink Gardevoir exchanged a glance. In an instant, they shared everything that had happened during this time through psychic waves, and both couldn't help but feel stunned.
Just like Diao Chan, the white Gardevoir couldn't imagine the world would develop into something like this.
"You've worked hard," Seeing how Diao Chan dropped all her guard the moment she saw him, her eyes now as pure as a young girl's, Axel couldn't help but sigh.
All those things people said online about "I'd give up the whole world for you" were lies. But Diao Chan had truly done it.
"What do you mean worked hard~ If it weren't for you, Gardevoir and I would've been harmed by that villain Cao long ago."
"And… you're handsome too, and you're really nice."
Diao Chan sniffed lightly, then looked at the white Gardevoir beside her, "I'm right, aren't I?"
The mature, big-sister-like white Gardevoir smiled indulgently, ["Yes, yes, your husband is the best, alright?"]
"What do you mean my husband…", Diao Chan lowered her head, rare shyness showing. The strong, dominant woman she used to be was completely gone.
["You… you clearly promised me you'd never leave us for your whole life. That makes you our husband…"]
The white Gardevoir said nothing, only exchanging a helpless glance with Gardevoir.
From the moment she shared her mind with the pink Gardevoir, it was already decided she wouldn't be separated from her.
The three of them being together… was something destined.
Fortunately, she was lucky. Diao Chan also liked Axel very much.
"Ahem!", Seeing the atmosphere getting a little awkward, Axel quickly placed the white Gardevoir's hand into Gardevoir's, then grabbed Diao Chan's hand and led them out of the Lustrous Orb.
"You've just come to this era, so there are probably a lot of things you don't understand. But overall, this era isn't that different from before. It's still a world centered around Pokémon, just with more technology."
Axel pointed toward the commercial district in the distance, "Look, you can still buy things in those small shops and malls. It's even more convenient now. You can easily get Pokémon training supplies too."
"Really?", Diao Chan's eyes lit up, "I want to go shopping, I want to try the delicious food in this world!"
"Wait a bit before you go," Axel felt a little helpless. He had a strange feeling that both Diao Chan and the white Gardevoir had become very pure now, very different from before.
But that wasn't a bad thing. Being happy like this was good. After all, this world wasn't like the Three Kingdoms era, where you had to scheme just to survive.
"I prepared some gifts for you. After you receive them, I'll take you downstairs to get something tasty, then we'll go shopping together."
Axel took out a USB drive, a Rotom, and Diao Chan's old clothes, handing them to her with a smile.
"What's this?", Diao Chan poked Rotom, looking curious.
"This is called Rotom. It lets you contact anyone from far away."
"Yours hasn't been initialized yet, so you can take a look at mine first."
"Okay," Diao Chan nodded excitedly, took Axel's Rotom, blinked, then asked, "What does this mean, on the screen it says: [Cynthia: Are you free tonight? Want to go to Iono's place together?]?"
"Ahem!", Axel quickly snatched the Rotom back, his face turning red under Gardevoir's smiling gaze.
"Someone's asking me out, but I'm not going today. I'll stay with you guys…"
Diao Chan nodded thoughtfully, "Oh~ so it's another concubine."
Then she looked at Axel with curiosity, "Aren't you going to choose someone tonight? You can just decide to stay with us?"
Axel: "..."
'What the hell did this turn into?'
'Feudal society really is unacceptable, okay!'
'Also, I'm not an emperor, not an emperor!'
