46 Dinner as a Family

---

So, the vote is closed, and we are going to Alola!

It wasn't even close either lol

---

Johanna exchanged glances with Dawn, before the two bluenettes turned towards Karen, who said "Honestly, you two should go and have fun. I need a break, and this seems like a nice little place to rest."

Pursing her lips, Johanna nodded.

"Milan, I vote for you to go as well. I would rather you go now then later, when we're... well, close..."

Dawn's eyes went wide as her hand dropped to her stomach, before nodding rapidly.

"Yes, please go now. I want you here during our last months..."

Chuckling, I got up and placed a kiss on both their cheeks.

"Well then, Cyn, start planning our trip~"

"Why do I have to do it?"

"Dear, it was your idea. You have also traveled more than I have. Besides that, you are, at the end of the day, the 'head' of our family."

Sighing, Cynthia got up and walked over to me.

"Fine, fine. Whatever you say, dear."

Sliding behind me, she wrapped her arms around my waist as she kissed my neck.

"However, just know that you're allowing me to have a LOT of power for our Honeymoon... I can rent a secluded house where I can fuck you all day... are you sure you want me to plan everything?"

Chuckling, I laid a hand on her cheek, smirking as she pressed her erection against my ass.

"Isn't that the whole point of a Honeymoon?"

She just chuckled, releasing me.

"Alright, I'll start getting things ready. Ah, Milan..."

Pursing her lips, she asked "Where is Karen going to stay?"

My mind blanked as I turned to the grey haired woman, who was smiling wryly at me.

Shaking her head, Cynthia sighed before saying "Looks like we need to expand the house as well... hah... running a ranch is expensive..."

Glaring at her, I said "Well, I bought it for ME and ME alone, y'know. Maybe one or two other people would stay with me, but not a whole HAREM, Cynthia."

She just scratched her cheek before shrugging.

"Ah, whatever. When we get back I'll schedule someone to swing by."

I nodded, watching as Cynthia stretched and yawned, shuffling towards the stairs.

"I'll schedule the trip later... wake me up in a few hours..."

The kitchen fell silent, before...

"So where am I supposed to sleep?"

~~~

Still in the kitchen, we all sat down at the table, which was laden with food.

Hours had passed, and Johanna and I had prepared dinner.

Karen and Dawn had been outside all day, going through mock battles and move combinations.

Dawn was like a sponge, and Karen seemed to enjoy challenging the young girl, pushing her as hard as she could to develop her.

As for Cynthia, she sat at the table after waking up from her nap, staring intently down at her laptop.

Whenever I tried to get a peek she would tilt the screen before glaring at me, making me chuckle wryly.

Now everyone sat at the table, Johanna and I watching on in pride as the three other women devoured the food.

Seared fish, a cauldron of soup, stacked plates of grilled vegetables, large bowls of salads, some wine for us and soda for Dawn...

It was alot, and I could see my three partners peering around the door, Ishtar staring at the food intently.

Sighing, I beckoned for them to come in, Cynthia nodding to Hecate while Karen stared at them with wide eyes.

Bastet walked over, the young Riolu in her arms.

{Mother, may we..?}

Nodding, I slid a fish over, watching as Bastet licked her lips.

As for Hecate, she walked over and sat on my lap, while Ishtar walked towards the counter, lifting two plates before happily hopping away.

"Is that..?"

Seeing Karen still staring intently at Hecate, I grinned, nodding.

"Yup, Hecate here is indeed Shiny."

The red and black Gardevoir stared at the grey haired Karen with slight interest, before returning her attention to the salad bowl she was holding.

"She's still as elegant and needy as ever."

Glaring at Cynthia, Hecate stuck her tongue out at the woman, making us all laugh.

"You really do have a stacked team... I mean, just those three are..."

I chuckled, stroking Hecate's hair.

"Yes, I'm rather lucky..."

I truly was.

Ishtar was my 'starter' Pokemon, and through sheer will and determination the Lopunny had raised her attack and speed stats well above the norm, making her a deadly physical fighter.

Hecate was already innately strong, as all Shiny's were, but when Ishtar had started her rigourous training, Hecate didn't want to be left behind, fine tuning her control and potency with her psychic energies. In fact, she was something of an elementalist, capable of utilizing most fire, lightning, ice, and wind special attacks. Truly an incredible ranged attacker.

As for Bastet, her Aura mastery allowed her impeccable mid range control, and her versatile move set was on par with Ishtar, the two almost evenly matched up close.

They were a damage heavy team, but when paired with the remaining three members of my team...

Well, I wasn't called 'Cynthia's Shadow' just because I was always near her.

I was an almost undefeated Elite Four Member, the only losses coming from Cynthia and the other Elite Four members...

Turning my attention back to Karen, I chuckled as I saw her still staring in disbelief at Hecate, who was happily munching away at the berry filled salad.

"Cynthia, when are we leaving?"

Pursing her lips, she tilted her head before saying "Two days."

"Alright, well, for how long?"

"Two weeks."

Nodding, I returned to eating, mentally sorting through what I needed to bring, as well as who.

However, I very quickly decided that, looking at Hecate and Bastet.

Ishtar would stay behind to guard the house, looking over all the eggs that needed to hatch as well as the Pokemon, making sure everything stayed in normalcy while we were gone.

Since we were only allowed to travel with a certain number of Pokemon each, I wanted to bring at least two, and those two would be of great help.

If I had to guess, Cynthia would just bring her Garchomp, since he was borderline Legendary at this point.

Looking back at her, I smiled.

I never thought that this day would come...

That we would find ourselves planning for our Honeymoon to another Region...

I truly was lucky...

Alright, mixed bag w/ this chapter, but I wanted to get something out.

So, we are going to Alola, where we will be meeting some new people and Pokemon.

If you have suggestions, leave them below, cause honestly I remember like half of those games.

Be it location, people, Pokemon, whatever, just drop an idea. I have a few things I want to do there, but sometimes you all provide some better ideas than I can think up.
