The stadium roared with cheers, the energy in the air electrifying as Sage stood at the center of the battlefield and beside her were Leaf, Blue, and Red—her rivals, her friends as each of them was sharing in the moment of victory.
Professor Oak smiled warmly as he approached them as he was holding three shining medals in his hands.
Leaf, Blue and Red you have all proven yourselves to be outstanding Trainers. Your dedication, skill and passion for Pokémon are truly commendable" Professor Oak said
He handed each of them a medal, one by one as Leaf's eyes shimmered as she accepted hers, Blue gave a confident nod and Red silently admired his with a small smirk.
Then, the sound of approaching footsteps echoed through the arena as Officer Jenny walked towards them, carrying a large, gleaming trophy in her hands.
The golden cup reflected the stadium lights, symbolizing the ultimate achievement in Pokémon battling.
Professor Oak stepped forward and carefully took the trophy and turned to Sage.
This is the symbol of your victory, of all the battles you've fought, the hardships you've overcome and the growth you've shown as a Trainer. You are now the Pokémon Champion of Kanto" Professor Oak said with a smile.
Sage's hands trembled slightly as she reached out and grasped the trophy as the metal felt cool, solid—real as a surge of emotions washed over her with pride swelling in her chest as she raised the trophy high into the air.
The stadium erupted in cheers.
In the viewing stands, Sage's mother, Emma was crying tears of happiness with her hands covering her mouth as she watched her daughter claim her moment of triumph and beside her, Chase stood tall with his arms crossed but his expression full of pride as he gave a firm nod.
This victory wasn't just hers—it belonged to everyone who had been part of her journey.
As the noise finally began to settle, Professor Oak turned to the group with a curious expression.
So, what's next? Where are you four heading now?" Professor Oak asked.
I don't know yet... but whatever it is, I want it to be exciting" Leaf said as she wants to hone her medical knowledge.
I think I'll go on a journey of my own—do some soul searching" Red said.
I'll keep training, hone my Pokémon skills... figure out my true purpose" Blue said with a smirk.
Professor Oak nodded approvingly before turning to Sage.
And you, Sage? You've just conquered the Pokémon League. What comes next for you?" Professor Oak asked.
Sage looked down at the trophy in her hands and then up at the vast sky above the arena as the world was full of endless possibilities.
I don't know yet but I can't wait to find out" Sage said.
Professor Oak chuckled and placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder as he then turned to address the entire stadium with his voice booming with wisdom and warmth.
Today, we celebrate the triumph of a Trainer who has shown determination, resilience and heart. Sage's journey is proof that with hard work, trust in your Pokémon and the courage to push forward, anything is possible.
But let this moment be a reminder to all of us—a Champion's journey never truly ends. There are always more battles to fight, more Pokémon to discover and more adventures to embark on. Whether you are a Trainer just starting out or one standing at the top, the most important thing is to never stop moving forward.
So to all the future Champions out there—keep striving, keep training and never give up on your dreams" Professor Oak shouted
The crowd exploded in applause, the arena filled with the sound of celebration.
Sage took a deep breath as she let the moment sink in.
This was her victory.
This was her beginning.
