The boy didn't hesitate. His eyes sparkled like a child about to unwrap the gift of a lifetime.
"For my final wish… I want to travel the Pokémon universe. It's the world I've always loved."
The goddess paused, watching him with a soft, knowing smile. "I figured you'd say that."
She gently sighed, folding her arms as a cool breeze blew through the garden. "But before you get too excited, let me warn you—the Pokémon world in reality is not exactly as you saw in the anime. It's more dangerous, more complex… and more real. Emotions run deeper, battles can be brutal, and not all trainers are good."
He nodded, still determined.
"Very well," she continued, "I will send you several years before the original timeline starts. You'll have a head start—and a special gift."
She raised her hand, and a glowing mark appeared on his wrist: a system seal—a divine construct.
"This system will assist you in your journey. It will provide support, track your strength, and guide you toward becoming strong enough to stand beside me."
Then she took a step closer, her eyes shimmering. "And one more thing... Because of our divine union, you've inherited a power unique to our bond: the Marriage Contract."
A gentle pulse of divine energy moved through him, and she explained:
"If you form a marriage contract with another, both of you will share 20% of each other's strength—permanently. You will also be linked by soul, trust, and loyalty. Betrayal becomes impossible. But…"
Her tone suddenly dropped—softer, darker, laced with authority. Her divine aura intensified, and in an instant, the garden trembled. Her beautiful, calm demeanor shifted into something fierce and commanding—her Sura form, the battle-hardened goddess of unmatched power.
"...I am your first and greatest wife. You are mine. So if you ever think of forming a contract with another…" she leaned in slightly, her eyes glowing, "...you will ask for my permission first. Understood?"
The boy broke into a nervous sweat, his soul practically trembling. He straightened up immediately and saluted. "Y-Yes, my dear, sweet, most beautiful and divine wife! I would never dare! You're my goddess, my queen! My everything!"
She blinked, expression softening. Her divine glow faded back to its warm, gentle light, and her lips curved into a pleased smile. "Good. You learn fast."
The boy let out a silent sigh of relief. I don't know whether to be the happiest man alive… or the most terrified.
