Mediating the grudge between the Shandians and Angel Islanders was genuine.
But it was also true that Dak hoped to expand the diversity of the species living on Pokémon Island.
This plan could fulfill the Shandians' four-century-old desire, provide the Angel Islanders with many "holy lands" in their minds, and add another highly unique city to Pokémon Island.
"Huh?"
"…"
Dak's words left both parties in silence.
Indeed, if it could be done, it would be great for both sides. They seemed to have no reason to disagree, even though ending a four-century-long war without a definitive conclusion left a bit of dissatisfaction in their hearts.
More importantly, who was this guy? And how could he make such promises?
"I know you might find it hard to believe me since you're not aware of what's happening below, but just listen. After all, you don't have any other choice, right?"
Dak wiggled his finger, and the three people were immediately frozen in place.
His psychic power not only immobilized them but also stopped them from breathing.
Dak was using his power to convince them to listen carefully.
"Second, umm… you, I need you to work for me."
Dak turned his gaze to Wiper and Gan Fall, finally settling on the latter.
Wiper was too young and impulsive, far from being the calm and composed individual he would become eight years later. Such a person couldn't handle the responsibilities of a Gym Leader.
"Me?"
Gan Fall raised an eyebrow.
He couldn't understand why this powerful figure would be interested in him.
"Yes, you. As for the Angel Island residents, don't worry. I will take them to another incredibly safe and peaceful place. You can recommend someone to take your place in managing them, or I can choose someone."
Dak nodded.
Gan Fall was indeed suitable for being a Flying-type Gym Leader. He wasn't too strong but not weak either, and his personality was well-suited for being a trainer.
"…"
Gan Fall didn't want to work for Dak, but he was concerned about the safety of the Angel Island residents.
"Third, the Shandians' old home, Shandora, has a lot of gold. I hope to take some of it."
"Oh, sure."
The Shandian chief readily agreed.
After all, they had been unable to return to their homeland for four centuries. If Dak hadn't appeared, they wouldn't know how many more years it would take to go back. Offering some gold in gratitude was the least they could do.
The Shandians had been self-sufficient for centuries and had no real concept of gold's value.
They only cared about the bell.
"That's about it. Now, let's get moving."
Dak nodded, releasing the three from his control.
The Shandian chief, who had lived for seventy or eighty years, immediately recognized that Dak wasn't an ordinary person. He seized the opportunity, quickly gathering people to return to Shandora, fearing Dak might change his mind.
Gan Fall, on the other hand, was in a bit of a tough spot.
It seemed Angel Island was at a significant loss, and they hadn't seen the numerous "holy lands" Dak promised.
"Don't worry. First, go back and withdraw your priests and soldiers from here to Angel Island. Then, I'll explain everything to you."
Dak patted Gan Fall's shoulder, sending him off.
About half an hour later.
While the Shandians were still on their way, Gan Fall's task was already complete.
"I'll take you to another world now. You can decide whether to move the Angel Island residents there."
Before Gan Fall could react, Dak took him to Pokémon Island.
When Gan Fall saw the vast grasslands that stretched endlessly before him, his mouth slowly opened in astonishment. The look of surprise on his old face was evident.
He had thought Dak's offer of numerous holy lands referred to various islands in the Blue Sea.
If that were the case, it would be a huge loss for Angel Island.
After all, the residents couldn't just venture into the Blue Sea; it was far too dangerous for them.
The only sky island that could freely descend to the Blue Sea was the mini sky island "Visalia," where Nami trained in the original story.
Though the smallest, it was the most comprehensive weather science island in the world of pirates, a pinnacle of weather expertise, surpassing Angel Island in technological mastery.
"This…"
Gan Fall looked at Dak, his mouth open but words failing him.
"This is another world, Pokémon Island."
Dak squatted down to examine the grass.
They were about 120 kilometers from Alliance City, still an undeveloped area.
However, there were strange footprints in the soil beneath the grass, likely from Pokémon that had ventured this far or flying Pokémon that had landed to rest.
"So, what you meant earlier was?"
"If you agree, you can move the entire Angel Island into this world, making it a sky city of Pokémon Island, named Angel City. We will create transportation so that Angel City's residents can freely visit this 'holy land' below."
This was Dak's idea.
Similar to Fish-Man Island, he wanted to move the entire Angel Island, making it a sky city of Pokémon Island.
It was almost certain that the future top three tourist cities of Pokémon Island were set.
Sky: Angel City, Land: Alliance City, Sea: Fish-Man Island.
Sea, land, and sky.
Perhaps new worlds would bring more unique cities in the future.
But that was unlikely.
Most worlds had similar living styles, and ordinary cities wouldn't catch Dak's interest. The islands in the One Piece world were already quite fantastical.
Oda's design of these islands and environments could be considered nearly the pinnacle of the anime world, creating places we could hardly imagine before.
Alabasta, Water 7, Sabaody Archipelago, Angel Island, Little Garden, Thriller Bark, Fish-Man Island, Raijin Island, Drum Island, Gold City, Mariejois…
Too many to list.
It was hard to find another world with such diverse islands.
Sword Art Online.
Aincrad.
A 100-floor iron castle with different landscapes on each floor, also a pinnacle in the anime world.
When Sword Art Online was released, it quickly became globally popular, and Aincrad's design played a huge role, expanding many people's imaginations.
But there were only a few such worlds. Most others didn't have these kinds of places.
For example, Naruto.
Due to geographical factors, all the countries shared one continent, so there wasn't much difference in architectural styles, and there was no need to move them to Pokémon Island.
"Are there other people in this world?"
"Of course, there are. I aim to make this a dream world in the future."
Dak said naturally.
He grabbed Gan Fall and used the Door-Door Fruit, taking him to Alliance City.
"This is Alliance City, the central city of Pokémon Island and the base of the Pokémon Alliance. If you work for me, you'll have to come here often."
Dak led Gan Fall through the central park of Alliance City.
The streets and various shops outside the park dazzled Gan Fall.
Life on the sky island was simple.
Isolated from the world, the daily lives of Angel Island residents were uninteresting to outsiders, even if the residents found them enjoyable.
"What are those?"
Gan Fall pointed to the Pokémon playing on the park lawn. "Animals that ate Devil Fruits?"
"Emmm, you can think of it that way. But they didn't eat Devil Fruits; they're called Pokémon. Besides their appearance, there's no other difference from us."
Dak scratched his head and added, "Pokémon are the core of both the Blue Sea and Pokémon Island. Look, everyone treats them as family and partners."
The Pokémon Alliance's success largely depended on Pokémon.
Dak needed to explain the importance of Pokémon to Gan Fall and the Angel Island residents, so they wouldn't see them as mere beasts.
"They look very happy."
Gan Fall looked towards the lake.
A boy sat with a Pokémon, sharing his dreams, while the Pokémon listened intently.
Very beautiful.
"That's the meaning and motivation behind my efforts."
Dak smiled, looking at his ever-improving city and the happiness of his people. The sense of achievement was something ordinary people couldn't understand.
"Are there other cities?"
"Yes, Fish-Man City, also from your world. Let me show you around."
