This is such a nice conclusion to this arc!! Gladion not confessing the truth, or Mohn not expecting anything of it (or at least verbally) — some actual father-son bonding after who knows how long. And Gladion not telling anyone where he’s gone (rip El’s gang) gives him a chance to let his time with Mohn go undisturbed 🥹. This is probably the only time the two can have such a priceless moment — Gladion having blissfully unaware yet happy Mohn to himself, maybe for several days in secret to slowly build the bond they’ve lacked from over the years, almost forgetting their life at Aether Paradise. Maybe Mohn will figure it out himself before Gladion gathers the courage to tell him the truth. This is just speculation (or my hopes for what’s to come next) at this point, but it would be nice if by the time Mohn has (mostly) figured out his connection with them that Gladion brings Lillie and Lusamine to meet him (or he brings him to their home).
Thank you El for this wonderful series!! Whether you’ll ever bring Gladion back, whether it be a mention, cameo or any update on his life, I’m always happy and looking forward to see what you bring to us. Really love your story writing, illustrated expressions and passion that you have for this series. Here’s to more Alolan adventures 👏👏👏🥹
And this marks the end of Gladions Arc...
It's been 3 long years since I started this arc. Granted, I was on hiatus for a full year due to my animated Comic Dub, but still. I'm glad I finally managed to finish this story after all this time.
As always, thank you for your patience and thanks for reading!

Some notes for future updates: I will most likely change my shading style and break free from the set 16:9 format I have been presenting my comic panels in for the past few years. I noticed how much time I'm wasting on shading and rendering my panels, as beautiful as it may look in the end, for a comic it's an incredibly inefficent way to work and I want to improve on that, so that I may be able to finish comics more regularly in the future. "El's Alolan Adventures" is only one of many projects I'm working on, so if I want to continue it, I should learn to actually work like a comic artist instead of an illustrator.
