Guests had gathered from near and far to partake in the festivities. The grand hall was elegantly adorned with colorful banners and twinkling fairy lights, casting a magical ambiance. A long banquet table showcased a sumptuous spread of regional and international delicacies, meticulously prepared by Cilan. His culinary creations were a feast for the eyes and a delight for the palate, a perfect tribute to the evening's star.
Amidst the effervescent crowd, Celeste couldn't help but wear a radiant smile. She moved gracefully through the party, a vision of elegance in her periwinkle ballgown. Her heart was light, for the weight of secrets had long been lifted
And it wasn't just her victory that brought her joy, but the fact that she no longer had to keep her true family hidden. Wallace stood by her side. His eyes shone with pride and fatherly affection as he conversed with friends and well-wishers. His husband and Hoenn Champion, Steven Stone, was equally beaming, regaling guests with tales of their adventures as a family.
Delia, Ash's mother, joined the celebration with a warm embrace for Celeste. She had watched Celeste grow from a spirited child into a confident and accomplished Coordinator. Professor Oak, a mentor to both Ash and Celeste, shared stories of his time as a pokemon researcher as the guests were enchanted by his words.
Headmaster Drayden was a picture of contentment as he exchanged words of wisdom with fellow mentors. Meanwhile, the jovial presence of Ash and Cilan added an extra layer of excitement to the evening. Ash's enthusiasm was infectious, and his congratulatory gestures toward Celeste were frequent and heartfelt.
It wasn't just the familiar faces; other coordinators and trainers, along with the dedicated staff who had worked with the Stones over the years, had gathered to show their support. Their applause and cheers were a testament to the genuine connections formed within the pokemon world.
As the evening wore on, the night was filled with music and dancing. Celeste took to the floor, a radiant figure as she twirled and swayed to the music, surrounded by the people who had shared in her journey. The celebration wasn't just about a victory; it was about the love, support, and bonds that made the pokemon world a place of wonder.
Celeste knew that her path had been paved by the love of her fathers, the guidance of her mentors, and the friendships that had enriched her life. The Steven Manor, with its glittering lights and joyful laughter, bore witness to her triumph and her newfound freedom to love and celebrate without boundaries.
Amidst the lively music and cheerful chatter of the party, Celeste and Ash found a quiet corner to catch up. A sense of nostalgia hung in the air as they reflected on their respective journeys. Celeste's win at the Hoenn Grand Festival and Ash's upcoming Unova League challenge were at the center of their conversation.
Ash's eyes sparkled with excitement as he talked about his upcoming venture in Unova. "I've seen you conquer the Hoenn Grand Festival, Celeste. It's been amazing. Now, it's my turn in Unova's Pokemon League. I can feel it. This is my time."
Celeste couldn't help but grin in response. "I know you're ready, Ash. You've come a long way. Unova better be prepared for your unique battling style."
As their conversation unfolded, Steven joined them, taking a moment to share in the discussion. He listened intently as Ash voiced his enthusiasm for the Unova League but expressed his reservations about Unova's current Champion, Alder.
Ash frowned slightly as he explained, "I love Unova; I've had some great battles there. But lately, Alder's been acting kind of disrespectful. I don't understand what's going on with him. He does not assist to Unova League events or aids ranger missions. Most the word is done by the Elite Four, and I even saw him falling asleep in the middle of a battle against a fan. Who does that? The poor trainer was at the edge of tears afterwards!"
