"Congratulations to Trainer Satoshi for all his hard works and efforts that he finally made it to be this year's Champion! And don't forget all of his Pokemon's efforts too especially that super strong Pikachu!"
As soon as Satoshi was declared the winner and champion, small pieces of papers that were usually used on celebration went raining down to the stadium and battlefield showering Satoshi with it. The whole stadium were clapping their hands gaving their round of applause with loud cheers of joys.
"We did it Pikachu! We're finally the champion!" Satoshi fetched Pikachu with an open arms and Pikachu jumped onto his hugs.
From the spectators seat, Rize, Ryussei and Reinz were clapping their hands to give their respect to the new champion. "He really did it. That Pikachu of his is in the league of its own. It defeated more than half of the opponent's team and even defeated a Rhydon!" Reinz commented with amazement. "How did he train his Pikachu? Where do their source of power come from?"
And so that evening, the closing ceremony began and all participating Trainers were given a certificate of participation as appreciation. Satoshi received a big trophy while the 1st runner up got a smaller trophy of finalist. Rize and the other guy who was eliminated at the semi-final got an even smaller trophy than the 1st runner up as a semi-finalist. It was Lance of the Elite 4 that congratulated the Trainers and distributed the trophies.
"Wow, I never thought I could meet and shake hand with Lance of the Elite 4!" said Rize out of excitement of meeting the leader of Kanto's Elite 4. He then saw a buffed man that was very tall like about 190cm with a logn hair. The buffed man looks familiar to Rize and so he approached him.
"Mr.Bruny! It's been a while, do you still remember me? I didn't know you're now the Elite 4 of Kanto instead of the Johto region."
The buffed man just stood still with a confused face and did not respond to Rize. A lady's voice from behind the buffed man's body emerged. "You must have mistaken our Bruno for his twin brother Bruny, Rize."
"Hey, Ms.Lorelei! You're here too!" It turned out that the lady's voice was Lorelei of the Elite 4. All of the Kanto's Elite 4 were there on there ceremony and except for Agatha that was annoyed with Rize and so they both didn't meet or say a hi to each other.
"Now let's all close the ceremony with our big feast of buffet. It's all you can eat! Let's enjoy the food together!"
They all celebrated the feast and eat as much as they like together. Some of the participants preferred to went straight home but some people with no sense of shame like Darren and his gang stayed to eat as they do not want to lose free meals.
Prof.Oak also came to the party and ate together with his appointed Trainers, Satoshi, Ryussei, Reinz, Rize and ofcourse his grandson Shigeru. He also brought Midori along.
"The most unexpected things of all in this tournament is of course, Rize defeating Shigeru right at the very first round of the tournament. But still in the end he still lost to Satoshi, haha.." Midori loudly expressed his opinion without thinking of Rize's and Shigeru's feeling at all.
"Noisy woman.." Shigeru grumbled to himself.
"So what are you going to do next, Rize? Are you going to stay in Kanto and participate in the Kanto League again next year?"
Rize chewed the food on his mouth and swallow it, then he replied the Prof's question. "Err.. for now I would just return back to Hoenn, then I'll rethink about what to do next."
"Huhu, we all have made our decisions and fortunately our destination are the same. We're all going to Johto." Reinz told the Prof and everyone who was there who did not know. "We're inspired by you Rize! We also want to travel out from our region and meet and learn more new Pokemon we have never seen before!"
"All of you, you mean the four of you?"
"Yup!" All answered at the same time except for Ryussei who just kept quiet about it.
"That sure bring back memories.. Johto is a wonderful place!"
"What?! You've been to Johto before?!" Reinz was surprised hearing it and so do the others as well. Prof.Oak then took the line. "Rize was the runner up of the Johto Junior League Tournament last year. I've told you that when you first meet him, Reinz."
"Oh ya.. I forgot.. haha."
Out of the blue, Micha stepped in and joined the conversations with them saying, "For me, compare to Hoenn, Johto is not a so much of a great place as there are no Dragon type Pokemon that lives there except Kingdra."
They all went silent as were confused of the coming of this stranger except for Rize who knew him as he was his opponent on the 4th round. In fact, he actually lost to him. "Hey Micha! Come join us!"
"Hoenn have quite a variation of different Dragon types so I was thinking of going to Hoenn together with you Rize."
"That's great! I'll be leaving tomorrow morning with the S.S Anne."
"That's so fast! Give me your address in Hoenn then in case I could not go with you tomorrow."
Rize gave him his address in Hoenn and exchanged Pokegear numbers with Micha. Prof.Oak and the rest decided to accompany Rize going back to Hoenn to the vermilion harbour port where Rize will be departing from Kanto to Hoenn. Rize spent his last night in Kanto at Ryussei's house and the long night have passed as morning have arrived, Rize was prepared to get back to his home region.
Just when he have arrived at Vermilion city, his Pokegear rang. It was from Micha and he picked the phone up. "Hello Rize! Sorry it looks like there is no more ticket for today's sail but I'll be arriving to Hoenn the next day."
"Okay then no problem!"
The phone call ended. The clock indicated 8 passed 10 and the passengers are told to board the ship already.
"So this is goodbye then!" Rize saying his last phrases before he leave his friends. "It's been a very long journey and lots of things have happened. Thanks to all of you!"
"We're glad to know you too Rize!" Prof.Oak replied. "Be sure to keep contact!" said Midori.
"The next time we meet again I'm going to defeat you. Heheh." Shigeru gave his hand and both of them shook hand.
"Maybe we'll go to Hoenn too in the future." Satoshi too said his goodbye phrase and gave Rize a hand shake.
"Send my regards to Prof.Birch!"
"Alright go already now or else you'll miss your sail!" said Reinz and the cool and calm Ryussei did not say anything but a single "Bye." to Rize. So Rize departed from them and boarded the S.S Anne ship. The ship produced a lots of smokes from its pipe chambers indicating that it was ready to set sail and there it go, the ship have sailed its way.
"Have a safe trip!!" They all shouted together well except for Ryussei and Shigeru ofcourse.
