A/N: I want to first and foremost thank all the readers of mine and Frabulator's stories. It has been a real privilege to share the product of our love of the pokemon franchise with all of you. I really hope that our stories have served to not only entertain, but bring just as much enjoyment reading them as we have in writing them. Frabulator (AKA Kyle) Still has a Hoenn story to finish up, but as for me, this could be the last chapter I post on here. I've toyed around with the idea of a black/white story with a new set of characters but where that will lead, I'm not sure.
Once again, thank you so much for all your reviews and support,
~ Shonna

Epilogue: The Next Generation!
Cynthia peered down into the crib at the little baby, with just a tuft of blonde hair. "She's so tiny." She whispered.
Bill looked over as well. "Babies usually do start out that way."
She turned to him, starry-eyed. "I want one! Let's make one."
"Cynthia!" Bill gasped, then pulled her out into the hallway, so as not to wake the baby. "Now…" He blushed. "Do you really?"
"No." She laughed, punching him in the arm. "I don't want kids. But she is really cute."
Bill laughed back nervously. "Yeah. But hey, remember we're supposed to be baby-sitting."
"Uh-huh." She gave him a sultry stare. "How long do you plan on staying in Sinnoh this time mister?"
He backed up against the wall. "Why do you ask?"
"Just wondering." She pushed herself up on him. "You know, if you keep showing your face around here, the media's going to get wind of it. They might even say the world famous Bill and Cynthia are going steady."
He gulped, then relaxed. "How would that be a bad thing?"
"Well," She turned away. "It wouldn't be true, would it?"
He wrapped his arms around her and whispered in her ear. "What if I told you I was planning on staying for good this time?"
Her gray eyes widened. "Do you mean that?"
"I'd say it is already in the papers." He looked up at the ceiling. "World famous Bill buys a new home in Celestic Town."
Cynthia beamed. She turned around and kissed him, just as Haylee started wailing.
Bill pulled away. "Your turn."
"Ugh." Cynthia sulked back into the nursery. "Haylee, I'd like to know why your parents are three hours late getting back."

"Yahoo!" I yelled as we bolted down the road atop of Arcanine. He was using extremespeed to take us through the whole town. We laughed happily, coming to a stop in front of the house. Kyle helped me down.
"Arcanine, you're the best! You know that?" I nuzzled my face into the soft fur on his cheek.
"Ar! Ar!" He yipped.
"And he has been spoiled rotten since he got back to us!" Kyle crossed his arms. "But he totally deserves it."
I put on the same cutesy voice I often made for Haylee. "You want a poffin? I fixed some today?"
"Ar! Arf! Ar!" He bounded up and down, wagging his fluffy tail.
"Okay" I shrugged. "Five poffins it is! Stay right here while I go get them."
Arcanine could barely contain himself as he sat patiently.
Kyle pet under his chin. "That's a boy. I'm never letting anyone take you away from me again."
Arcanine gave him a warm smile, and a lick across the face. He seemed just fine with that idea.
