On the night of the performance, Water 7 was brightly lit.
Countless aspiring trainers sat by their windows, holding their Pokémon eggs and talking about a bright future under the moonlight.
The next day.
Urgently printed newspapers were delivered across the seas, stirring new waves.
Headlines:
- "Pokémon Alliance Established"
- "The Alliance Leader, King of Pokémon, the Man Who Commands the Strongest Pokémon"
- "Introduction from the Beginning - The Era of Pokémon, an Era of Peace"
- "A World Beyond the World"
- "What Exactly Is Pokémon Island?"
- "The Fake Three Great Weapons and the True Three Kings"
Morgans had cleverly divided the content that Dak previously mentioned into separate reports.
The first issue mainly covered the establishment of the Pokémon Alliance, the existence of another world, and the strength of Giratina and the others.
These topics were enough for the world to digest for a while.
The Pokémon School and the miraculous items would likely be covered in the next issue.
Dak didn't have time to pay attention to what was happening in other parts of the pirate world.
There were many new tasks to arrange at the Breeding House.
Bon continued managing various affairs at the branch store, handling the influx of people enrolling and buying Pokémon eggs.
Bellamy went back to training with the Whitebeard Pirates and Marineford, where Zephyr would undoubtedly give him more thorough guidance.
Perona began learning about Pokémon judging from Dak, while also testing her Hollow-Hollow Fruit abilities.
Monet had a new task: researching the mass production of the first-generation Poké Balls, finding alternative materials with Gardevoir assisting her.
Sugar needed to establish the right worldview, learn laws and common sense, and improve her cooperation with Mismagius.
Robin, while reading the Pokédex, was also thinking about how to teach the material, practicing by explaining it to Miltank.
Iceburg continued working on the sea train with his adoptive father and brother, Tom and Franky, expected to complete it in over a month, after which Iceburg would join the Alliance.
As for the other members like Galdino, they continued their routine work in Water 7 while training.
Dak himself had plenty of work.
One task was to complete the Pokémon School and the surrounding facilities, which required a lot of Pokémon Coins.
This wouldn't be a problem after the performance, especially with the Revolutionary Army likely to purchase many Pokémon eggs in a month and the Navy buying more eggs to strengthen their forces before leaving the World Government.
Next, it depended on how much the people of Water 7 and Morgans' publicity would contribute, likely a significant income.
Another task was finding squad leaders for the Inspection Corps.
These leaders needed to be highly loyal to prevent corruption, and Dak needed to personally find such individuals.
Now that the Pokémon Alliance was established, it was time to confirm various departments, which would be announced in a future Alliance meeting.
All members, even the lowest-ranked ones, would attend this meeting at the Alliance base on Pokémon Island.
A week quickly passed.
A new issue of the newspaper spread across the seas, still without mentioning "resurrection" or "immortality," indicating Morgans was saving the big news.
This issue focused on the Pokémon School, mainly attracting attention with its pictures.
For the Pokémon Alliance, this week had seen many events.
Firstly, many people wanted to join the Pokémon Alliance, including many families, clearly seeking security.
For those without even a Pokémon egg, Dak's response was clear: they were not welcome.
The Breeding House lacked funds, and its own members didn't all have Pokémon eggs, so they couldn't provide for newcomers first.
Moreover, these people had no useful skills, mostly idle individuals. The Pokémon Alliance needed capable people, not freeloaders.
Despite this, the Alliance still gained a thousand new reserve members.
These were aspiring trainers who had previously bought Pokémon eggs, but they were more than just trainers.
Their real-world skills or their families' skills made them valuable.
For example, one member was a shipwright with excellent craftsmanship, useful for the Alliance's development. Even if his skills weren't needed, shipwrights were strong and had some combat capability.
Another member was a modest clerk, but his wife was a well-known meat seller in Water 7. If she moved to Pokémon Island, she could open a meat shop, contributing to Dak's vision of the first Pokémon city.
A leader must be meticulous, considering multiple factors even when recruiting low-level employees. Dak had lost quite a bit of hair over these decisions.
In the future, he must exchange for Celebi to maintain his health.
These new recruits were only reserves because Pokémon Island didn't yet have housing for them. Building a residential area for employees also required significant funds. For now, these people continued working in Water 7.
Dak promised them that within two months, they would move to Pokémon Island and never worry about their families' safety again.
Besides new recruits, there were numerous school enrollments.
In just a week, over 50,000 people had registered, many coming from nearby islands after reading the newspaper.
Of the fifty confirmed students, only three were certain.
The Navy sent a girl named Kujaku, Tsuru's granddaughter, a future member of SWORD, though she hadn't yet eaten the Whip-Whip Fruit and was currently eight years old.
The Navy seemed to think schools were for children, hence sending this young girl.
The Whitebeard Pirates' choice was already known: Thatch.
The Revolutionary Army sent Koala, a familiar character who had just joined, a thirteen-year-old girl.
Dragon seemed intent on training Koala to be a Pokémon Professor within the Revolutionary Army, focusing solely on Pokémon knowledge.
That left forty-seven slots.
Mihawk showed no interest, so who knew what interesting people might join.
Moreover, the past week saw a surge in Pokémon egg purchases in Water 7, with pre-orders from three to four thousand people, many from other islands.
After screening out unqualified and unclear applicants, about ten thousand locals remained, mostly family members of those who had already bought eggs and attended the performance.
For example, a wealthy merchant who initially bought one egg might have his wife and children buy more, showing foresight.
Non-residents of Water 7 were mostly those planning to move there, given the Breeding House branch's presence.
This increased Water 7's population significantly.
Out of ten thousand eggs:
- 5000 green-quality eggs, netting 250,000 Pokémon Coins.
- 1000 pre-ordered green-quality eggs, netting 100,000 Pokémon Coins.
- 3000 white-quality eggs, netting 15,000 Pokémon Coins.
- 1000 blue-quality eggs, netting 500,000 Pokémon Coins.
This money couldn't be collected all at once and had to be delivered in batches. Dak's reserve funds were also insufficient for an immediate, full distribution.
Moreover, pre-orders continued rising, with more people finding ways to reach Water 7.
Iceburg even joked that Water 7 seemed to be sinking.
The island was indeed small, comparable to Moria's Thriller Bark.
The event was still fermenting, not yet at its peak.
When the next issue of the newspaper spread worldwide in a week, Iceburg would have to seriously consider if Water 7 would sink.
The pirate era would start to be gradually eroded from then.
Meanwhile, the Pokémon Alliance had to focus on its tasks this week.
Bon wasn't the only one delivering eggs; even Galdino and Miss Goldenweek were temporarily reassigned to help.
Their Devil Fruit abilities made the delivery process more efficient.
As for their safety and the eggs', Dak took it seriously.
He spread the thousand reserve members throughout Water 7, putting them in uniforms to patrol and warn any lurking troublemakers.
Additionally, Dak dispatched Darkrai, Gardevoir, and Mismagius to specifically protect the three and the eggs.
Dak himself needed to find new employees within this week.
