"Brother!"
Anira and May excitedly called out as soon as he and Leaf entered the suite, and seconds later, he was hugging the two girls who had jumped on him.
Aizen, knowing why they were so happy, spun around with them, and when he put them on their feet, they jumped on Leaf and started dancing with her.
"Our score..."
"Perfect!"
They told them and then laughed when Leaf's mouth dropped in shock.
She knew how tough the Private Licence Exams were, and even though she was expecting it from Anira, May's academic excellence was unexpected.
Leaf had never seen her trying hard to study, but then she felt a little silly when she remembered who the girl's father was and whom she had grown up around.
"Hehe..." May sweetly giggled when she handed Aizen her PokéDex, and Anira did the same.
The two girls then patiently waited as he connected their Pokedexes to his Laptop and entered the Ruby and Sapphire Council Database.
He then downloaded their newly issued Licences on their respective devices, and also worked on their Licence Perks.
Since Anira had been serving as his Assistant, she automatically had the Silver Perks, but May did not have them.
Therfore, he added her to the list of the Royal Guards of the Orayen Palace, and also Licenced her Pokedex and sponsored her from the Blanc Laboratory.
Both of them had an A-Class Licence, and now 8 Spots on their Rosters.
When he handed them their devices, the two girls grinned as they looked at their Trainer's Profile.
Anira then asked him for Atlas' Pokéball, and when he removed his thumbprint from it, she registered hers and added her Dragon as her Starter.
Next, the Orayen Princess registered Blissey as her Official Pokémon, and then her Vulpix, Dratini, Chmchar, and the two Charcadet.
Aizen smiled at her and then took out another Pokéball, which was empty, but then her eyes widened when he removed his Thumbprint from it and handed it to her.
She knew that it was Togepi's Pokéball, and her eyes turned misty.
Anira jumped into her Brother's arms and then planted a dozen kisses on his face.
She also sneakily stole a kiss from his lips and brightly smiled at him.
"I love you."
"I know. I love you more." He flicked her nose and watched her register Togepi as her Pokémon.
And just like that her Roster of Eight Pokemon was now full.
Anira could not wait to get back to Blanc Island and register her Vaporeon, Flareon, Jolteon, Espeon, Umbreon, Leafeon, Glaceon, and Sylveon as Officially her Pokémon, and she was also planning on registering all the Eevee and their Evolutions at the Eevee Corral as her Pokémon, but that would have to wait until she acquired her Golden Perks.
"So, which Pokémon do you want as your Starter?" The Prince looked at May and asked, and the girl beamed a smile at him.
"You once promised me something, Brother." She placed her hands on her waist and looked right into his eyes.
"I remember. Just thought you would like an Eevee, or maybe a Torchic, Mudkip, or a Treecko..."
"I want them all, but first, my Ralts!" She excitedly said, and Aizen, Anira, and Leaf laughed at how cute she looked.
"Well, I will help you find a Ralts as your Starter, and will also gift you a Pokémon as a reward for acquiring your Licence." He patted her head, and she jumped up in excitement, punching the air.
"Which one?!"
"Secret." He chuckled and then took them all out on a dinner at the finest restaurant in the city.
The next morning, the group checked out of the Pokémon Center at dawn and then climbed up the backs of Aerodactyl and Mega Pidgeot as they flew towards the Blanc Kingdom.
They left Hoenn behind, flew over Oblivia, and hours later, they finally saw the Blanc Isles.
Leaf gasped when she saw the Blanc Kingdom, which was a set of three Islands, one of which was in the shape of a crescent, one which was as massive as half the mainland of Hoenn, and then the smaller island, which was only small compared it the other two but was fairly large and lay right between them.
Together the three Islands took the shape of a Pokéball if looked from above. The Crescent Island formed the bottom, the central island, which was the true Blanc Island, formed the button on the Pokéball, and the large landmass of the third island, the Dragon Island, formed the top of the Pokéball.
Blanc Palace and the Tree of Beginning were located on Blanc Island, right in the centre.
The girl from Pallet Town remembered Anira telling her that the three Islands once used to be one Island, the Blanc Island, and that was why people still referred to all three Islands as the Blanc Island. And the reason the island had broken into three pieces was because of Groudon, Kyogre, and Rayquaza, who had an apocalyptic battle here over three thousand years ago.
Groudon and Kyogre were also responsible for all the Islands in Hoenn, which had broken off the mainland because of their actions.
There were still hundreds of sunken Islands in the region due to their battles, and a good portion of the mainland was underwater.
Leaf had asked her if one day Groudon or Kyogre would sink all of Hoenn, and Anira told her that it would never happen, but did not tell her why it would never happen.
She broke out of her thoughts when she saw the majestic Orayen Palace in the distance, and she forgot to even breathe at the sight of it.
The Tree of Beginning was also in her sight now, not too far away from the Palace, and then she also saw the glass pyramid, which she knew was the Blanc Laboratory.
In the distance, she heard the cries of the dragons, saw some of them flying around, and then there were hundreds of other avian pokémon, who were flying over the palace and the Tree of Beginning.
She really felt like she had entered some Pokémon Paradise, and her heart raced in excitement as she looked forward to exploring the kingdom in the next few months with Aizen, Anira, and May.
Instead of landing at the palace, Aizen took them to the Blanc Laboratory, and May excitedly smiled when she saw that her mother was there.
"Mama!" She rushed into her arms as soon as she climbed down the Mega Pidgeot, and then she happily showed her the Pokédex.
"Hello! This Pokédex belongs to the Trainer May Birch..."
April cupped her daughter's cheeks and planted a kiss on her head, and then she hugged Anira as well.
The girls excitedly told her that they had gotten the perfect scores, and the lady was truly very happy for them.
After greeting Leaf and Aizen, she led them inside the Laboratory, where Professor Birch, Doctor Fennel, and Doctor Grisha were discussing something.
Leaf was overwhelmed when she heard Grisha Orayen and Professor Birch praise her performance at the Silver Conference, and Fennel was already her friend, so she gave her a tight hug.
It had been over a year since they last met, but they had talked on the video calls a lot, especially since Fennel was an Assistant at the Blanc Laboratory and was responsible for Leaf's Pokémon.
Anira hugged her Grandmother and then rushed straight into the Pokéball Storage Room to retrieve the Pokéballs of her Eeveelutions, and then she excitedly asked her gandmother to unregister them from under her name.
The Orayen Princess then officially registered her Eeveelutions under her name and returned the Pokéballs inside the Storage Room.
"Leaf! Let's go. I will show you my Eevee Corral." She then grabbed her friend's hand and led her outside, and May, Rinko, and Lux chased right after them, but the two Riolu stayed behind.
"Wow... They are excited." Fennel commented, and April giggled at her words.
Aizen wanted to look at the study they were reviewing, which concerned Mr. Mime, but her Grandmother pushed him out of the lab and told him to go see his wife and child.
He sighed but smiled as he walked towards the Palace, and then just Teleported right into the Hallway where Ilene's room was located.
His dear wife was feeding their child when he entered the room, and his heart melted at the bright smile she gave him.
"How did their exam go?"
"Perfect scores." He told her and smiled at her surprise.
She then blushed a little and turned her eyes away, remembering her own scores.
Even though she had performed really well in her Licence Exam, her score was far from perfect. She had only secured 89%.
And she did not even have to ask Aizen about his scores.
She just knew that his result was perfect as well.
"Pachi..."
Her little Electric Pokémon rushed into the room and quickly climbed up Aizen's shoulder, and then it jumped onto her head, making her giggle.
Soon, her Mine Jr entered the room as well, and behind him were her Eevee, Torchic, Mudkip, and Treecko.
The Pokémon then excitedly started telling her about all the games they played and wisely quieted down when she finished feeding Alex, and the little Prince fell asleep.
It was not a surprise that none of them had evolved. They had barely been in battles, but she was training them whenever she had some time.
They all jumped up in Alex's cot, and the Eevee decided to sleep with him. The rest, after curiously looking at the two, soon left the room to go and ask Old Jenny for a meal.
Only Pachirisu stayed behind. It quickly climbed up the wall, then the ceiling entered its bed in the chandelier and decided to take a nap there.
As soon as they were alone, Ilene entered his arms and hugged his waist. She placed her ear on his chest and closed her eyes, listening to his heartbeat.
Moments later, the two started swaying on their feet, having a silent dance, and then the Cameran Queen raised her head and demanded a kiss, which her dear husband happily gave her.
