Chapter 18/Final: Honeymoon in the Pokémon World

It's the new morning with the married trio. Ash, Elise and Sakura slept as the morning sun shone through the windows. Ash's topless body was wrapped by the arms and legs of the two naked princesses, their breasts rubbing his smooth skin and their legs around his waist. When the sun rose, Sakura was the first awakened. She saw her husband as she adjusted from a splotch stain just under her. She leaned in and kissed Ash on the lips. She held on with her nipple spinning on Ash's pectoral muscle. This woke the man of the marriage. "Good morning, honey," she cooed.

"Morning, Sakura," he returned the favor. Elise woke but didn't move much before reaching for his cheek. Ash turned to the Nohrian princess.

"Good morning, handsome," she smiled.

"Morning, Elise," he welcomed. The princess giggled and gave him a kiss as well.

"So, how does it feel to be a man?" It made Ash laugh nervously.

"I'm… still adjusting…" Ash embraced Elise and Sakura with a few kisses each before stepping out of bed and got dressed. After breakfast served by Flora and Felicia, the married trio met up with every Hoshidan and Nohrian, including the princes, Xander and Ryoma, and also Corrin and Azura. Ash was back in his clothes that he wore when he entered Nohr and Hoshido, but dressed Pikachu with his cap. He met with Camilla and Reina. Elise and Sakura had their instruments packed for the trip to Ash's world: Elise's violin and Sakura's koto. They also had staves with their instruments.

"So, how does it feel to lose your virginity?" asked Camilla.

"I'm… still not use to it," Ash admitted. His Pokémon blinked in confusion.

("What's virginity?") wondered Pikachu. ("And how do you lose it?") Reina came to Ash and Pikachu with a smile the trainer knew too well.

"I know marriage is a strenuous task and even more that you have two wives," she comforted. "But, you're a young man who's always up for the task at hand." She hugged Ash and placed a kiss to his forehead. "I know you'll be able to live up to the responsibility ahead." After his time in Reina's arms, Camilla snagged Ash and embraced in a hug of her own, squeezing his head in her breasts.

"Our precious baby's now a man!" she cried. "And is a part of our families!" Ash sighed with a smile. "I know you'll be a great husband, my little brother-in-law!" She pelted Ash's face with many kisses, much to Reina's delight. Elise and Sakura were with Takumi, Leo and Hinoka.

"I've seen what Ash can do, Elise," Hinoka assured. "If there's anyone else who can deal with danger, Ash is the one." Elise giggled to Hinoka's claim.

"I know he'll be there for me if I feel in trouble," she assured. "In fact, I forgot that he wore that when he first visited Nohr." Hinoka and Sakura giggled to the wardrobe Ash wore.

"I forgot he wore that since we first met during one of our skirmishes," the redhead princess laughed. Leo now had Sakura's attention with a hand on her shoulder.

"Sakura, I know we haven't been… ideal, per se," Leo murmured. "What I can tell you is that you have a strong heart that can heal those who feel pain upon first sight. If Ash feels a problem, you and Elise have what it takes to spare him."

"I will…" promised Sakura. Takumi gave Sakura a hug.

"I know you'll be helping Ash all the way," he hoped. Sakura nodded to Takumi's request. Ash met up with Corrin and Azura and Elise and Sakura met with Xander and Ryoma.

"You've got a long road ahead, huh?" wondered Ash.

"It's one which one family and their weapons, including the ancient weapons, would be suicide," Corrin explained. "However, it's thanks to you and your Pokémon that we have a new chance to thwart this threat."

"And even so, we know the families will live on with you in the future," Azura added.

"Right, since I have a Nohrian and a Hoshidan with me going back home," Ash concluded.

"Indeed. Now get some final words from Xander and Ryoma. They've been the most anxious to address you." Taking Azura's words, Ash nodded before meeting with Xander and Ryoma. The Nohrian prince was first.

"Well, Peacemaker Ash…" he started. "It's about time. Your world awaits. I have incredible faith that you'll take care of our sisters." Ash nodded to the prince's hope.

"I've been meaning to ask," he brought up. Pikachu had gone to Mozu for the last time. "Considering that your parents are gone, what more do you have to do to become kings? There's… nothing in the way of becoming the royal leaders, right?"

"True, young Peacemaker," Ryoma acknowledged. "However, we may have someone in mind who'll lead us down the righteous path. All you have to know is that whether we abolish this threat that our brother's addressed or not, our bloodlines will still be in the future with your wives and your children." Ash nodded once more to the Hoshidan prince.

"I'll keep those in mind," he said as he offered his hand. The princes shook his together. "So, this is it?"

"I'm afraid so," Xander sighed. "Brother Ash, godspeed."

"You two as well," he wished. Elise and Sakura returned to Ash's side as Mozu returned Pikachu.

"We're ready, dear," Sakura said. Ryoma came to Elise and Sakura and place hands on their shoulders.

"Elise," he started. "Sakura… I guess, this is goodbye." Elise and Sakura teared up and embraced Xander and Ryoma in hugs.

"I'm gonna miss you!" cried Elise. After a minute, the wives broke to be with their husband. Azura led the married trio to a piece of land.

"This is the Dragon Vein," she briefed. "Let me sing your way to a new world as you activate it." After the briefing, Azura returned to Corrin as the Nohrian and Hoshidan families came together. Ash, Pikachu, Elise and Sakura palmed the ground as Azura began to sing. The scene flashed white.

You are the oceans grey waves;
destined to seek life beyond the shore, just out of reach.
Yet the waters ever change, flowing like time;
the path is yours to climb

In the white light, a hand reaches through,
a double edged blade cuts your heart in two.
Waking dreams fade away.
Embrace the brand new day

Sing with me a song of birthrights and love.
The light scatters to the sky above.
Dawn breaks through the gloom, white as a bone,
lost in thoughts all alone

You are the oceans grey waves;
destined to seek life beyond the shore, just out of reach.
Yet the waters ever change, flowing like time,
the path is yours to climb

Embrace the dark, you call a home,
gaze upon an empty white throne.
A legacy of lies.
A familiar disguise

Sing with me a song of conquest and fate.
The black pillar cracks beneath its weight.
Night breaks through the day, hard as a stone,
lost in thoughts all alone

The path you walk on belongs to destiny, just let it flow;
All of your joy and your pain will fall like the tide, let it flow
Life is not just filled with happiness, nor sorrow;
Even the thorn in your heart, in time it may become a rose

A burdened heart, sinks into the ground.
A veil falls away without a sound.
Not day nor night, wrong nor right,
for truth and peace you'll fight

Sing with me a song of silence and blood.
The rain fall, but can't wash away the mud.
Within my ancient heart dwells madness and pride.
Can no one hear my cry?

You are the oceans grey waves destined to seek;
life beyond the shore, just out of reach.
Yet the waters ever change, flowing like time,
the path is yours to climb

You are the oceans grey waves…

The light faded and Ash's eyes began to regain his sight. In front of him was his Pikachu and the Poliwag he met. ("Ash?") wondered Pikachu.

("Are you okay?") the Poliwag wondered.

"Pikachu?" muttered Ash. "Poliwag?" He soon sat up to see the Pokémon. "Did I have a dream?"

("No, it all happened!") assured Pikachu. Ash shook his head, trying to understand the cobwebs.

"Man, it felt so real: a war between families, people transforming into dragons…"

("Ash, those happened!") Ash heard Pikachu's ranting.

"What are you talking about?" An idea in its head, Poliwag patted its tail to Pikachu and point in a fixed direction. Pikachu nodded before going to the direction in mention. "Pikachu, where are you going?" He followed Pikachu to a sigh that he thought wasn't possible: Elise and Sakura sitting up and looking at all sorts of creatures, including red pigeons, green caterpillars, round raccoons, purple mice… Ash gulped to the sight of disbelief.

"This is… amazing!" awed Sakura.

"I know, right?" agreed Elise. To Ash, what he believed was a dream came back to reality.

"Elise and Sakura?" he muttered. "Then I did have a wedding with those two… If Brock knows what I did, I won't hear the end of it." Sakura looked to Ash's direction and jumped to her feet.

"Ash!" she cried as she ran to and hugged her husband. Ash decided to accept the reality and hugged his Hoshidan wife.

"Sakura!" he sighed with a smile. Elise came by with a young brown fox cub with collar-like white fur around the neck.

"Honey!" she cheered as she nearly toppled Ash with a hard tackle. Ash maintained his balance as he also hugged Elise.

"My wives made it after all," he admitted. "And it appears you have an Eevee, Elise!" Eevee barked to the claim.

"So, you're an Eevee," Elise awed as she turned to Eevee. "No wonder you're so cute!" Ash and Sakura giggled as Pikachu heard a whimper. Turning, another Eevee appeared with white fur all over.

("Over there!") he alerted. All turned to the white Eevee who shyly peered around a tree.

"Is that… another Eevee?" asked Sakura. Looking harder, Ash gasped to it.

"Whoa, it is," he confirmed. "But it's a different Eevee than the one in Elise's arms. I think it's a Shiny Eevee." Elise and Sakura looked to Ash with a blink of confusion.

"A… Shiny Eevee?" repeated Elise.

"I should know," Ash believed. "I have a Shiny Noctowl at Professor Oak's ranch." Sakura stepped toward the Shiny Eevee and knelt. The Shiny Eevee looked to Sakura who offered her hand.

"It's okay," she smiled. "I want to heal you, not hurt you." The Shiny Eevee looked to Sakura's before cautiously walking out while Elise and the Eevee in her arms stood by Ash. "See?" The Shiny Eevee sniffed Sakura's hand and gasped.

("You smell clean,") it believed. It then pawed Sakura's knee with interest.

("It's okay, girl!") the first Eevee assured.

("I do feel she's trusting,") the Shiny Eevee barked back. She looked back to Sakura before climbing her knees and pawing her chest with a happy face.

"Would you like to join me, Eevee?" the Hoshidan princess guessed. The Shiny Eevee licked Sakura's face, tickling her. She lifted herself and the Shiny Eevee from her knees. "Thank you! I have my first Pokémon!" Ash, Elise and the Pokémon by them smiled before Elise had a question.

"Hey, do you carry any more balls like with Grovyle and Swellow?" she asked.

"I do!" answered Ash as he reached into a side pocket. "I always have at least ten on hand should I find and capture more Pokémon." He pulled two Pokéballs out and handed one to Elise. "Since these are unused, you can press the button and it'll register to you." Elise took one Pokéball and pressed the button. She now turned to the Eevee in her arms.

"Wanna come with?" she requested.

("I do!") the Eevee barked happily. Agreeing, she threw the ball up and the Eevee climbed to Elise's head and jumped. It headbutted the ball which opened and it turned into a red ball of light. It entered the ball before it closed and landed in Elise's hands. The button flashed red for a couple of seconds before it ceased. Ash palmed Elise's head to confirm the event.

"Elise, that Eevee's yours," he congratulated. Elise jumped to Ash in glee as she hugged him.

"Thank you, darling!" she cried. That's when a thought popped up. "Oh, can I give Eevee a name?"

"Of course! You can name Eevee and do whatever you want!" Hearing Ash, Elise nodded before releasing her Eevee. She picked her Eevee up.

"I know we'll have a great time, Nightingale," she named. Eevee nuzzled to the name as Sakura and the Shiny Eevee approached.

"I like that name for your Eevee, Elise," she agreed.

"Thanks!" smiled Elise. "What about your Eevee?"

I thought about it and I'm gonna go with Kouha for my Eevee," she decided. The Shiny Eevee barked excitedly to the name as Ash handed her another Pokéball.

"I wanna ask where you came up with it but if she agrees, I'm not gonna argue," Ash chuckled. Copying Elise, Sakura made the Pokéball big but tapped the button onto the Shiny Eevee before it became a ball of light and entered the ball itself. After a few shakes, the Pokéball stopped. To Ash, Sakura's Shiny Eevee was hers. "And now, you have Kouha as your Pokémon." Sakura's face teared up as she hugged Ash as well.

"Dear, thank you!" she cried. All three hugged each other for a minute.

"Now, let's go home," he suggested. Pikachu led the way out of the forest as they observed swarms of large butterflies: one swarm had purple bodies while the others had black bodies with white abdomens and long noses. Before long, they entered a city full of buildings, people and numerous Pokémon. Elise gawked to the size of it.

"Okay, I thought the cities around Nohr were big," she gulped.

"Viridian City will do that to the unknown," Ash warned.

"But… I thought your home was Pallet Town," Sakura recalled.

"It's the next town over, beyond Viridian City," Ash clarified.

"Oh, so we're closing in, right?" guessed Elise.

"We are," Ash trusted. Elise and Sakura gasped to lights flashing, signs with names and faces on them, automobiles like cars driving and a white motorcycle with a cyan-haired woman in a blue uniform with skirt, pantyhose and black heels stopping by.

"Ash!" she called out. Ash turned to the woman.

"Officer Jenny!" he named. "It's been awhile!"

"Boy, has it! I haven't seen you since the Pokémon Gym collapsed with your friends around." Elise and Sakura studied Jenny's motorcycle fitted with lights and the two bulky tires it stood on.

"Has it been fixed?"

"It has, though it's remained mostly closed for some reason, even after the 'Invincible' Pokémon Brothers made false accusations before trying to ruin the Cerulean City gym. My sister gave me the details and their Trainer's licenses have been permanently revoked."

"Good, after that ambush on Misty, they deserve harsh treatment." Jenny nodded to Ash's story.

"That so… Anyway, I'd love to stay and chat but I'm on duty so I'll see you around." By twisting the right handlebar, Jenny sped off on the motorcycle. This left Ash's wives a bit befuddled.

"Darling?" spoke up Sakura.

"Officer Jenny was the first person to help me when I began my career as a Pokémon trainer," he explained. "She and her sisters help keep the region in peace from people like Team Rocket. Besides, she's too old for me to begin with and I've already got you two." Elise giggled, understanding the issue. They proceeded to a building that looked like a light green semi-cirle with one quarter bigger than the other. "This is the Pokémon Gym that Officer Jenny and I mentioned."

"I see, and that's the building that was totaled?"

"It was. It looks better than before and I can see why." As they marveled the new look, an old blond woman emerged, leaning onto a cane as she wore a purple dress.

"I see that your memory of this place is fresh," she teased. Ash, Elise and Sakura turned to the woman.

"It is," Ash agreed. The woman looked over Ash and Pikachu, who had crawled onto Ash's shoulder.

"Oh, I see why… You represented Kanto in the Ever Grande Conference in Hoenn recently. I watched that battle between you and Tyson, and how close you came to entering the Semifinals." Ash itched the back of his head at the battle mentioned.

"We did all we could…" Just then in a red convertible, a rotund brunette in a Hawaiian buttoned shirt rolled up. He wore sunglasses.

"Agatha, how are you doing?" he asked. Agatha smiled to the brunette.

"Scott, I didn't expect you to show up," she huffed. "I just happened to run into Ash and his girls, though I'm surprised that you have two when normally, you only have one."

"About that, Elise and Sakura are married to me," he admitted. Agatha has a slight gasp lisp from her mouth.

"My goodness… Young love already bloomed for you three."

"It has," Sakura smiled. That's when Agatha turned back to Ash.

"Say, young trainer… how about having a battle with me and show how you reached the Top 8?" she requested. To Ash, it was a chance to show how strong he was as a trainer to his wives.

"Alright, you're on!" he agreed. Scott chuckled as she stood by Ash.

"With that settled, I'll be the official," he offered. About half an hour later, Ash's group left the Pokémon Gym.

"Agatha, an Elite Four trainer?" gawked Elise.

"I know, I was taken back by it as well," Ash admitted. "No wonder how I lost against her." He turned to Sakura holding Kouha who shook horribly. "I guess Ghost Pokémon aren't Kouha's cup of tea?"

"Apparently not, and that Gengar's Dream Eater made her scared," Sakura shuttered. Kouha began to calm down. "It's all over, Kouha." Elise looked around, seeing people and Pokémon staring for a little bit.

"Ash, Sakura," she called. "We've got a lot of eyes glaring at us." To Ash, it wasn't just Gengar that worried Kouha.

"Shiny Pokémon are extremely rare, so it's not a surprise for this to happen," Ash assessed. Sakura had a different idea.

"Maybe it's our clothing," she pondered. "We stand out like sore thumbs." Looking to his left, Ash thought he found a solution to Sakura's problem.

"There's a clothing store right there," he pointed out. Looking, Elise and Sakura looked to each other before looking inside. Seeing all sorts of clothes, the wives gushed in awe to the variety.

"I see something black I wanna wear!" spotted Elise. Nightingale barked to wanting to find something as well. In about another half an hour, the princesses walked out with new looks. Elise came out with a black blouse over a pink bra with a pink Pokéball design. She also donned jeans and pink tennis shoes. "This feels really light!" Nightingale approved of the wear as it wore a black bows on its ears. "The shopkeeper helped me position Nightingale's bows on her ears so it doesn't bother her."

"That's great," Ash snickered. Nightingale reached and sneaked under Pikachu to give him a ride. He wasn't expecting one but laughed to it. "I guess Nightingale likes Pikachu." Now, Elise had her own snicker. That's when Sakura started to come out.

"Um… is this appropriate?" she spoke up. Everyone turned to Sakura, now donning a red button-down t-shirt over a white blouse, red shorts and a red heels like Jenny's while still wearing her stockings. Ash's eyes became rather fixated.

"Whoa…" he gulped.

"Hey, not too shabby," Elise accepted. Kouha wore a red collar with a tag on it.

"Must be a lot easier to move in these new clothes, huh?" questioned Ash.

"It is…" nodded Elise. As she looked to her husband, her eyes caught a shop which had a picture of ice cream. "What's that?" Ash looked over and laughed to the discovery.

"That's an ice cream shoppe. It's a cold dessert that comes in many flavors."

"Really?" wondered Sakura.

"You wanna try some?" guessed Ash.

"YES!" cheered Elise. All headed to the shoppe where they saw all sorts of flavors like chocolate, mint, strawberry and toppings like sprinkles, cookie dough bites and chocolate chips. Keeping it simple, Elise and Sakura had bowls of vanilla ice cream with plastic spoons before finding a table and sitting. "This… is ice cream? Gods, I can't wait to try!"

"It looks good!" said Sakura. Ash arrived with a long bowl and a banana covered in three scoops of ice cream with chocolate and strawberry syrup on it and a cherry on top. He also had baby bowls of vanilla ice cream with pellets to give to Pikachu, Nightingale and Kouha. Elise and Sakura spooned some ice cream before stuffing it in their mouths. Their eyes lit up.

"So cold, yet so sweet!" snapped Elise in happy shock.

"So flavorful and so creamy!" cried Sakura. Ash chuckled to the reaction of his princess wives.

"Wait until you try some other flavors," Ash laughed. "Just make sure you don't eat it-" he stopped himself as the princesses sped their scarfing. "WAIT! NOT SO FAST! You'll get a-" That's when something shocked Elise and Sakura in their heads. A snap reaction froze their bodies for a couple of seconds before they latched their heads in pain.

"My head!" they winced. Ash sighed to their sudden pain.

"I was gonna say to not eat the ice cream so fast or you'll end up with brain freeze. Just relax for a minute and it'll go away." One more sigh from Ash knew it was going to be difficult in his new role. "Being a husband is gonna be tough."

("I can sympathize,") Kouha mulled. The pain subsided when Elise noticed Ash's treat.

"So, what do you have?" she pointed out.

"It's a Banana Split," he answered.

"I can see that it's a Banana Split," Sakura noticed. "The banana's split down the middle." Ash, Pikachu and the Eevees collapsed to Sakura's point.

("Should've seen that coming,") Pikachu groaned. Everyone recovered to see Ash's dessert.

"So, what's all on the Banana Split?" wondered Elise.

"A few scoops of ice cream on top of the banana, whipped cream, chocolate and strawberry-flavored syrup and the cherry on top," he listed. Elise and Sakura pondered to the idea of trying it out. Elise scooped the side with the chocolate and Sakura scooped the strawberry, each with a piece of banana. With one bite, their eyes lit up. They gave off a gleeful cry with waterfalls streaming from their happy eyes.

"SO… GOOD!" they shouted. Ash and the Pokémon sighed in humor. After finishing their ice cream, Elise looked back at the city.

"Ash, this place is incredible," she praised. "Vehicles that can get you places without tiring out, places and objects running on electricity, clothes for all sorts of situations… ice cream…" The others laughed while Sakura agreed to some of Elise's items listed.

"This is true," she backed up. "There's so much to offer and as a married trio, there's plenty to offer."

"Speaking of offer, maybe we can all go on this journey Scott offered me," he remembered.

"The Battle Frontier?" guessed Elise.

"Yeah, with new challenges to face." Sakura sensed Ash's passion to battle rise.

"Perhaps gain strength in order to challenge Agatha once again," she picked up. Ash nervously chuckled to Sakura's presumption. After finishing their dessert, they left Viridian City. The married trio and the Pokémon headed down an open wooded field where they observed ladybugs and pink worms. An hour after leaving Viridian City, the group stood on a hill overlooking a town.

"Elise… Sakura… here we are: Pallet Town." Elise and Sakura heard Ash and realized they've reached their destination.

("We're finally home…") hummed Pikachu.

"Not bad, a lot more peaceful than Viridian City," Elise compared.

"And there's a lot here, especially my mom who can cook and owns a diner," Ash exampled. The princesses heard the name and that they missed their mothers.

"Of course, we finally have a mother for the first time in a long time," Sakura reminded. "Or, I should say, our mother-in-law." Ash smiled to the thought. They entered the town and found a white house with a front porch. Ash and Pikachu entered first.

"Mom, we're home!" he announced.

"Be right down, honey!" sounded a woman from another room. Suddenly, a gasp as Elise and Sakura entered did another redhead entered from the kitchen. She wore yellow with an orange torso and she wore a ponytail by the side of her head. She also held an arm-less baby blue mouse with a zigzag stringy black tail with a bouncy ball at the end.

"WHAT'S GOING ON!?" she yelped. Ash, Elise and Sakura turned to the new redhead.

"Misty?" gawked Ash. "Hey, this is a surprise."

"You're telling me! And weren't you with Brock, May and Max!? And who are these two!?" A sigh from Ash came out, knowing he'd have to explain the ordeal as a ponytail brunette woman in a pink button-down shirt and white skirt peered from behind Misty.

"Hi, my son!" she greeted. "And did you bring girlfriends home?"

"Not quite, Mom…" Ash shyly denied. Before he could explain, Elise ran to Misty and the little mouse in her arms.

"Is that a baby Pokémon?" she guessed. Now realizing her curiosity, Misty held the mouse up for the Nohrian princess.

"Tracey gave me Azurill as an egg before it hatched recently," she briefed. Sakura also wanted to pet the infant Pokémon. Azurill squeaked happily to the attention.

"It's an adorable baby," Sakura cooed. Just then, two men arrived at the gate seeing the open door. One was a somewhat-elderly gray-haired gentleman wearing a white lab coat while the other was a raven-haired teenager in a teal t-shirt and a peach-colored headband to go with cargo shorts.

"Ash, you finally came back!" the gray-haired gasped with a smile. "I was wondering what took you so long to return from Hoenn." Everyone turned to the two who appeared.

"Professor Oak and I hope we're not intruding on this," the raven-haired gulped.

"Sorry, I didn't return soon enough, guys," Ash confessed. "I have a long story to tell."

"I bet," Ash's mother murmured. With a deep breath, Ash let it all out as a jeep rolled up with a somewhat heavy brunette in a similar lab coat, shorts and sandals and a raven-haired boy with glasses and a green polo t-shirt coming out.

"Everyone," Ash spoke up. Elise and Sakura came to their husband. "This is a bit of a shock to say the least… I want to introduce Elise… and Sakura…" Pointing them out, those around nodded as the raven-haired spoke up.

"Ash, I never imagine you pulling off Brock," he spoke up. Ash turned to the new men around.

"Max," he addressed the raven-haired. "Brock would be jealous of this. Elise and Sakura… they're my wives." Sudden gawks filled the rooms.

"Wait, what?" the rotund brunette shuttered. With the married trio together, they made the announcement.

"We're married…" they clarified. A pin drop was all that could be heard as a clown-like creature reached the same room. That's when an eruption echoed.

"WHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!" everyone else shrieked. The house leaped from its foundation. Many birds, bugs… anything with wings flew from around the town from the shriek. Ash nodded his head, expecting the reaction.

"See?" urged Elise as she revealed the rings. "Proof we're married." Misty gave Ash's mother her Azurill before storming to and gripping Ash by the collar, shoving him to the back.

"What's wrong with you, Ash Ketchum!?" she snapped. "You're still a kid and suddenly, you're married!? And to two girls!? Don't you know how much responsibility you have now!?" Everyone stood aghast to Misty's sudden outburst.

"Misty, listen!" irked Ash. "It's not like I had much of a choice and-"

"My darling son's growing up!" cheered Ash's mother as she raced and hugged her son with a cascade of kisses to follow. Azurill was now in Sakura's arms. "And now I have two new daughter-in-laws." Ash had embarrassing drops of sweat pour down his face.

"You're fine with it, Delia?" questioned Oak.

"It's a mother's wish for my child to find love," she allowed. "Besides, it expands my world now that my son has been married, let alone to two girls that I actually favor." Max sighed to Delia's acceptance.

"Never thought this would happen," he muttered. "Ash being better than Brock with women." Misty dropped to her knees which had Sakura rushing over to her.

"Are you okay?" she wondered. Misty went pale.

"I told Ash once that if he wanted to do what he wanted," she whimpered. "That he should get himself a girlfriend." Max heard Misty and patted her on the back.

"Usually, I should just keep a lid on it but…" he started. "How long were you with Ash?" Misty dipped her head in shame as Elise and Sakura met with Delia to know their new mother-in-law. Pallet Town held host to the new family members.

(Months later)

After journeying in their new world with their husband, Ash and his large group came across a rather large house among the path. Alongside Elise and Sakura were Max and two others, both brunettes: a girl in red with a red bandanna and black biker shorts and a tanned spiky young man in a brown traveling jacket and cargo pants. They were coming by the house while Elise held the note. "I can't believe Big Brother's living here in this world!" she cheered in glee.

"And I think that's where he lives if I read the address right," the young man assumed.

"It would be, Brock," Ash believed. As they came closer to the fenced home, Corrin stepped out and saw the large group.

"Everyone!" he welcomed. Seeing the manakete, Elise and Sakura raced to the fence.

"Big Brother!" the cried as they hugged Corrin.

"Elise! Sakura!" The rest arrived to the fence in some seeing Corrin for the first time. "Ash, it's great to see you too. Who's your entourage?" Ash turned to his other friends.

"This is Brock," Ash introduced while pointing to Brock. "That's May and her little brother, Max."

"Hi, Corrin," greeted Brock. "You and Ash met before?"

"We all did. In fact, Azura and I had our marriage before we left after I helped vanquish the real mastermind, Anankos… but it came at a price." This made Elise and Sakura concerned.

"What… was the price?" a worried Elise wondered.

"Xander, Ryoma and Takumi sacrificed themselves to protect the rest of us." The news of loved ones dying made the eloping princesses cry. Ash came over and allowed them to cry on his chest.

"So what happened to Hoshido and Nohr?" he asked.

"After Anankos was defeated, we buried Takumi and the princes. Then, Leo and Hinoka got married. They're now helping run the continent as the new king and queen. As a matter of fact, Camilla and Reina had created a fleet for flying warriors should new threats come on the continent." Elise and Sakura stopped crying, now knowing their siblings were in good hands.

"At least we know they're okay," Sakura sniffed. That's when Azura came out in a white gown… and rather heavy-set.

"Ash!" she called as the two maids emerged: Felicia and Flora. "Elise, Sakura, Pikachu…" Everyone saw the singer and gasped.

"Azura!?" gulped Elise.

"Are you… pregnant?" muttered May. Azura giggled as she palmed her baby bump.

"So, you're expecting a child at some point," Brock summarized.

"I am," Azura confirmed. "And who might you be?" Ash introduced everyone to Corrin and Azura as May and Pikachu were face-to-face with Azura.

"So, have you decided on what you're naming the baby?" she asked.

"I do, May," Azura smiled. "I wish Shigure comes out healthy." Pikachu reached the baby bump and kissed it, tickling Azura.

"Pikachu…" she and May cooed. Pikachu also giggled. May palmed the baby bump before she had a prayer.

"I want to help raise you as well," she wished before kissing the bump. Corrin was with the married trio when the manakete asked a question to the princesses.

"So, can I see the Pokémon you have?" he requested. The wives nodded to Ash and accepted the request.

"Alright," Elise agreed before throwing their Pokéballs up. "Come on out!" When the balls opened, twelve creatures emerged. By Elise; there was a black fox with large ears and gold rings, a cream-colored cat with purple fur on head, back and tail; a crescent moon with eyes and a cone-shaped nose, a brown teddy bear with a crescent moon on its stomach, a green dragon with red domes over its eyes and a blue amphibious creature standing like Elise but with tiny eyes and big mouth. "I have Nightingale, Delcatty, Lunatone, Teddiursa, Flygon and Quagsire. They all light the moonlight." Sakura had a green cat-like creature with a forked tail and a gem embedded in its forehead, a walking sunflower, an orange rock that looked like the sun, a small bird with cloud-like wings, a pink milk cow and a gray ghost-like creature that seemed like a cloud.

"These are my Pokémon," Sakura announced. "Kouha, Sunflora, Solrock, Swablu, Miltank and Castform." Corrin and Azura awed the display of Pokémon while Brock stared at Kouha.

"I still remind myself that Kouha's a shiny Espeon," he remembered.

"Everyone, say hi to Corrin and Azura," Elise instructed. The Pokémon greeted the manakete and his pregnant lover.

"It's great to meet all of you," Corrin praised. "And I can tell the marriage is strong between you three." Ash, Elise and Sakura agreed.

"Besides, we wanted to stop by since we're heading to a special competition Drew mentioned," May explained. "We just completed the Battle Frontier and the Grand Festival, so…"

"Great, Felicia and Flora should be done with making lunch for everyone," Azura laughed. Felicia and Flora came out to welcome those who stopped by.

"If it isn't Ash and the princesses," Flora smiled.

"It's also great since I can show the three my improvement of my balance," Felicia cheered. Brock gawked with hearts in his eyes.

"Yes!" he yelled. "A two-for-one deal? You two just maid my day!" He rushed and grasped Flora's hand. "You must be Flora since your hair has the same scent as lilies fully bloomed! I'm Brock, upcoming Pokémon Breeder! Please, miss… Let me be the bouquet to smell for the rest of your life!" The younger folk sighed.

"Not again…" groaned Elise. "Every young woman we came across and he does this..."

"Makes us glad Ash never adopted his behavior," Sakura murmured.

"Max…" called out May.

"I'm on it," Max sighed. Before he could take a step, Felicia shoved Flora to the side and took his hands.

"No, I would be the better choice!" she declared. "You're Brock, right? I heard from Ash that you can do it all. If it means to find love with you… then, you maid my lifetime!" Seeing the girl as tall as he was made Brock become imbued with hope. "Please, let me be the one to guide you to the love of li- I mean the life of love!"

"YES!" he cheered. Felicia's screamed wildly before leaping to Brock's face and admiring a kiss. Everyone else gawked to the sudden romance of Brock and Felicia.

"Well, what do you know…" Ash said with a smug.

"So, who maid who's day?" punned May.

"I'm not sure but I'm not but-lering into this," Max punned. Love became fated for plenty. The fire now burned among Ash, Elise and Sakura as fate gave them the emblem of peace. The bond is strong with the Pokémon Trainer and Peacemaker, Ash Ketchum and his wives, Elise Ketchum and Sakura Ketchum.

THE END
