Pokemon: I Transmigrated Twice-Chapter 230: Pokemon: I Transmigrated Twice []

Stephen talked to Cynthia not only because he didn't want a stalker following him around (even if she couldn't threaten him) but also because, as a Pokémon fan in his previous lives, he liked Cynthia.

After meeting her, he realized if he didn't talk her out of it, she might have a mental breakdown.

"I'll arrange a jet to send you back to Sinnoh tomorrow. Don't overthink it," Stephen said, patting her shoulder before leaving.

Cynthia stood frozen, only recovering after hearing the door close behind her.

"What am I really...?"

...

The next day, Stephen got a message from Cynthia: "Not leaving?"

He gave her the confused face emoji.

So all his talking last night was for nothing? Or did she think she could do something if he tried anything?

Stephen thought for a moment, then replied, "Let's just get along."

Noticing Lusamine's gaze, he pulled her into the bathroom to have some fun.

...

The exposure of Team Flare, Lysandre being revealed as its leader, evil Hoopa summoning six top legendary Pokemon, Stephen and Joker teaming up for a Ragnarok-level battle... In less than three days, there was too much to report.

Even the news of Malva transferring from Kalos to Alola barely made it to page two—let alone Diantha's Pokemon battle with Red.

Hoenn's Verdanturf TV:

[ "At a critical moment, Dr. Stephen used his Hoopa to teleport over a million people out of Lumiose City, minimizing losses and proving he has not only unrivaled power but a caring heart. But Kalos League's situation is worrying—Chairman Lysandre was the leader of a criminal organization, and neither Champion Diantha nor the other League trainers played a useful role in the crisis. This makes us doubt Kalos' future."]

Galar's Wyndon Daily:

[ "At the crucial moment, Dr. Stephen's Hoopa called for our Galar Champion Leon, not Kanto's Lance, showing he trusts Leon's strength and values his friendship with Galar."]

Sinnoh's Jubilife TV:

[ "Rumors confirmed: Sinnoh Champion Cynthia has officially requested to transfer to Alola. Chairman Cyrus says he regrets her departure but supports her pursuit of her feelings."]

Kalos' Lumiose News:

[ "Both Kalos and Alola Leagues have officially announced Malva's transfer to Alola as Poni Island Gym Leader. Malva said she just couldn't get used to Kalos' peaceful lifestyle."]

Unova's Mistralton Evening News:

[ "The Lumiose battle proves Zekrom has chosen this generation's Hero of Ideals; the identity is still under investigation, and Reshiram has yet to appear. Chairman Dragon Granny hopes both heroes can unite, as now is not the time for ideals vs. truth, but for everyone to unite against Team Rocket."]

Among these, the bombshell news that Joker had captured evil Hoopa was suppressed by the League. Evil Hoopa's terror was witnessed by the entire world—if word got out, there'd be global panic. Even high-level League members were on edge, terrified that Team Rocket could show up in their bedroom via a portal at any time.

Many League officials and big business magnates who had bad relations with Team Rocket started hiring powerful trainers for protection, but behind the scenes, they also tried to curry favor with Team Rocket. That's the power of Evil Hoopa's fear factor.

...

In Alola, Stephen arranged a proper residence for Cynthia—in a villa on Manalo Island, the League's headquarters. After all, Stephen had already reserved her a future Elite Four spot.

The other three would likely go to Karen, Will, and one more to be determined.

"Why did you decide to stay after all?" Stephen asked Cynthia as he saw her off.

"I want to know what kind of person you are," Cynthia said seriously.

"Huh?" Stephen was caught off guard—he didn't know what she meant.

Cynthia explained: even if Stephen wanted to do something to harm the League or the world, she couldn't stop him. But she still wanted to stay in Alola, to truly understand him.

Stephen was speechless at her answer. "Even if you understand, you still can't do anything... Whatever—as long as she doesn't go full Kyurem, it's fine."

...

Two weeks later, Sinnoh's Jubilife TV reported:

["After discussion led by Chairman Cyrus, the Sinnoh Pokémon League will hold a special Champion Tournament. The Frontier Brains led by Palmer will battle the Sinnoh Elite Four in a grand contest for the new Sinnoh Champion."]

Stephen didn't immediately remember who Palmer was, but after checking, realized he was one of Sinnoh's Battle Frontier Brains and the dad of Barry, the energetic blond from the anime.

Palmer had little screen time in the original works, but every appearance made an impression. He even battled Cynthia before and was likely Champion-level.

...

A week later, Stephen and his friends watched the Sinnoh Champion Tournament on TV. As expected, Palmer—using Milotic, Dragonite, Dracovish, and Rhyperior—defeated Fire Elite Four Flint's full team and became the new Sinnoh Champion.

Stephen felt one of his Poké Balls—the one containing the Eternal Tree—trembling. This ball, naturally, was obtained from Malva after she joined Alola.

The whole chain of events had started because Stephen wanted Xerneas to heal Giovanni, leading to everything that followed.

Giovanni's illness hadn't gotten worse yet, so Stephen immediately thought of Diancie, who had been traveling with Sonia for a while.

After the Lumiose City battle, Sonia and Diancie didn't return to Kalos for the Pokemon Showcase but instead went to Hoenn to pursue top coordinator status.

Stephen and Nessa both supported her choice—after all, the Contest Spectaculars were more prestigious than the Pokemon Showcase. Sonia had already earned two Ribbons, and Diancie had become her signature Pokémon.

"Hoopa, open a portal," Stephen called.

Hoopa popped out and tossed a golden ring.

...

In the Hoenn region, at the Verdanturf Contest Hall, during the first stage:

"Diancie, Moonblast!"

Under the eyes of a thousand spectators and countless cameras, Sonia raised her hand high. Diancie appeared, raised her delicate hands, and a dazzling pink orb swelled above the stage—like a miniature moon.

"So beautiful! Truly worthy of being called the Diamond Princess!" Host Vivian exclaimed.

All eyes were on Diancie. Even when a gold ring appeared at the entrance, nobody noticed.

"Power Gem!"

Sonia smiled. Multicolored gems shot out and crashed into the moon above, and the broken pearls rained down on the stage and the audience, sparkling everywhere.

For the finale, Sonia and Diancie curtseyed together like a princess's bow. Instantly, all three judges held up 10s—a perfect 30.

The Diamond Princess's flawless performance, plus Sonia's own beauty, made the judges feel even 30 points was too low.

"Awesome! Diancie!"

"Amazing! Glad I traveled to watch!"

"Sonia is so pretty, too!"

The crowd erupted in applause and cheers.

"It's so pretty, so beautiful, Diancie—ahhhhhh—"

Stephen found the voice familiar. He turned and saw Steven Stone waving glow sticks and fanboying out, shouting Diancie's name.

Stephen: ...

With Sonia and Diancie's act setting the bar impossibly high, the later performers seemed dull by comparison. Sonia easily advanced to the battle round.

Even though Diancie isn't the most battle-oriented of the second-tier legends, Stephen doubted anyone could beat her.

But Sonia's opponent caught Stephen's attention—a flamboyant, androgynous guy dressed like a cactus: Harley.

"Go, Cacturne! Bullet Seed!"

"Diancie, Dazzling Gleam."

Diancie swept her hands out, scattering Bullet Seed and blasting Cacturne off the stage.

"Cacturne is unable to battle. Diancie wins! Sonia advances!"

Vivian announced.

It was pure stat crushing—like Tobias with Darkrai at the Lily of the Valley Conference.

"Hey! That's not fair!" Harley protested. "She's using a legendary Pokémon!"

The audience was in an uproar.

But then a mocking voice said, "So what, you want her to use Mew instead?"

Everyone turned, faces pale. Even Harley shut up.

The contest ended; Sonia won her third Ribbon without suspense.

"You... came to see my contest?" Sonia asked, a little flustered outside the venue.

"Uh, yeah, I guess. But this isn't the best place to talk. Come with me," Stephen said, ready to have Hoopa open a portal back to Alola, but realized Sonia wasn't part of the family group and didn't know about evil Hoopa.

Just then, Steven came over. "Dr. Stephen, Miss Sonia, haven't left yet? Want to have dinner together? Invite Diancie too."

For some reason, he emphasized the last part.

Stephen blinked. Perfect timing.

...

In the lobby of Devon Corporation, Steven cleared the area. Stephen tossed out his Poké Ball.

Xerneas appeared, and Diancie gazed at her in admiration, bowing: "Lord Xerneas, please grant me the power of eternity."

"Wow, this is the second time I've seen this..." Steven sighed.

Xerneas's expression didn't change—every generation, a Diancie begged her for Mega Evolution or eternal power. She was used to it. But—wait, this wasn't Kalos, was it? Where was that red-haired human? Why are these people here again?

Still, Xerneas granted Diancie the power as usual. Her antlers glowed with rainbow light, bathing Diancie in holy radiance—just like when she granted Mega power to Stephen and Steven a year ago.

"Are we going to be separated?"

Sonia asked, voice trembling as she tried not to cry.

Diancie, as Diamond Domain's princess, had to protect her tribe. This trip had been to find Xerneas, and now, with her goal achieved, it was time to go back.

["Sonia..."] Diancie, newly empowered, was also reluctant to part.

But she had her duty to her people.

"Why not just move them all to Alola?"

Stephen suddenly said.

Everyone stared at him.

"If it's only hundreds or thousands of Carbink, just tell me the location and I'll have Hoopa move them all to Alola. As long as you give the order, Diancie, they'll follow. If not, Xerneas can help persuade them."

Xerneas: What does this have to do with me?

Sonia's mouth fell open. "You can do that?"

"Why not? Alola's not that big, but it can handle a bunch of Carbink."

Sonia and Diancie's situation was like May and Manaphy in the movie. May and Manaphy formed a strong bond, but as Prince of the Sea, Manaphy had to return and guard the ocean. But Diancie only needed to protect her tribe—not that hard if they all moved to Alola. And with Hoopa, it was a breeze.

"Is that okay, Diancie?"

Sonia asked nervously.

["I'll try!"]

Diancie replied, both nervous and happy.

"Great! That's wonderful!" Sonia cried with joy, hugging Diancie.

Watching the two embrace, Steven and Xerneas smiled.

After a while, Sonia let go.

Stephen joked, "Aren't you going to thank me? I came up with the idea."

As soon as he said it, Sonia threw herself into his arms.

At that moment, two soft mountains came to Stephen's mind—

That night, Stephen and Sonia stayed in a guest room arranged by Steven. Remembering Sonia's softness from earlier made sleep elusive.

Just as he considered having Hoopa open a portal, his phone buzzed.

[Thank you]—with a Pikachu heart meme attached.

But after five seconds, she deleted it.

Before he could reply, Sonia sent another message: [Just expressing thanks, don't get the wrong idea.]

Stephen pondered.

Two minutes later, a golden ring appeared in Sonia's room and expanded.

Stephen tiptoed through, the night breeze brushing over the not-yet-twenty but already mature girl.

He crept up and hugged Sonia from behind.

Sonia, lying on her side waiting for a reply, was almost scared to death.

Stephen covered her mouth, "Shh, shh, shh!"

"What are you doing?!"

Sonia said, shocked but with a flash of joy in her eyes that Stephen caught.

"Inviting a new member into the family~" Stephen teased, chin on her forehead.

Stephen caressed Sonia's face, making her blush. Seeing her beautiful, adorable expression, Stephen leaned forward and kissed her. Sonia was stunned at first, then reciprocated, marveling at her first kissing experience. Stephen's kiss was gentle at first, then it became a French kiss, as he sucked and intertwined his tongue with Sonia's, making her moan.

Stephen's hands ghosted over Sonia's trembling form, her breath catching as his fingers traced the delicate curve of her neck. Her body quivered beneath his touch, nipples hardening into stiff peaks that pressed against the thin fabric of her nightgown.

"Please..." she whimpered, arching into his caress as his hands cupped her heavy breasts. Even through the silk, he could feel their perfect fullness, her hardened buds begging for attention.

"I-I've never..."

"Shhh," Stephen murmured against her ear, his hot breath making her shiver.

"I'll take care of you." His tongue flicked out to taste her earlobe as his fingers worked the buttons of her nightgown, exposing inch after inch of creamy flesh.

Sonia gasped as the cool air hit her bare breasts, her D-cups bouncing free. Stephen growled appreciatively, palming their weight.

"So perfect," he groaned, thumbs circling her rosy nipples until she was writhing. Her virgin pussy clenched around nothing, already dripping wet.

He captured a stiff peak between his lips, sucking hard while his other hand slid down her quivering stomach. Sonia cried out as his fingers found her soaked folds, gently parting them to circle her swollen clit.

"Oh god, Stephen!"

Her hips bucked wildly as he slipped a finger inside her tight channel, stretching her carefully. She was so wet, her juices coating his hand as he added a second digit.

Sonia's walls clamped down as her first orgasm hit, her sweet cries music to his ears. Stephen didn't give her time to recover before positioning his thick cock at her entrance.

"Ready?"

She nodded frantically, spreading her thighs wider. Stephen pushed forward slowly, groaning as her virgin tightness gripped him. Sonia whimpered at the burning stretch, tears leaking from her eyes as he broke through her barrier.

"So tight," Stephen panted, holding still to let her adjust.

He captured her lips in a deep kiss, swallowing her moans as he began to move.

Her legs wrapped around his waist as he picked up the pace, driving deeper with each thrust. The wet sounds of their coupling filled the room along with their shared pleasure. Stephen's hand found her clit again, rubbing tight circles until she was screaming his name.

Sonia's back arched as another orgasm crashed through her, triggering Stephen's release. He buried himself to the hilt, flooding her virgin channel with his hot seed.

They collapsed together in a sweaty tangle of limbs, trading lazy kisses as their breathing slowed. Stephen gathered her close, pressing tender kisses to her face.

...

The next morning, Stephen woke up.

Sonia and Nessa were still asleep, hugging each other. It was Sonia's first time, and her was limited—so for the second round, Stephen called Nessa over from Alola using Hoopa.
