Butch and Cassidy arrived in Hoenn not that long ago. They got in their rental car and drove over to Lilycove City where the maximum security prison that held former Team Aqua boss Archie the past 5 years.

Archie was going to be released today, and he was told two surprise guests were going to pick him up and take him home. He had changed quite a lot in the years he had spent in prison.

"Today I walk out a free and changed man. Kyogre doesn't mean anything to me anymore. The only legendary that means anything is Arceus." Archie said this as he awaited his surprise guests.

Butch and Cassidy arrived at Lilycove Maximum Security Prison. They themselves had reformed since Team Rocket had disbanded years ago, but they wanted Archie for something. Something very special.

Butch and Cassidy walked inside the prison, and went up to the receptionist. Butch said "we're here to pick up Archie Cooper. He's being released today."

The receptionist said, "oh you must be the surprise guests I was told about. The guard over to the right will show you to Mr. Cooper's cell so you can take him home."

Cassidy said, "alright, this should be fun." The guard walked Butch and Cassidy to Archie's cell.

Archie said, "you must be the surprise guests. Might I ask you your names?"

Butch said, "I'm Butch, and this is Cassidy, we've been together a while."

Archie said, "nice to meet you Bill and Cassidy".

Butch was frustrated, "I just got done telling you my name is Butch!"

Cassidy said, "we are here to take you home."

Archie said, "I don't have a home to go to though, where will I stay?"

Butch said, "well, why do you think we're the ones taking you out of prison as you get released?"

Cassidy "you see, we're getting married soon, and we want you to be our best man. So you'll be living with us."

Archie said, "oh that's sweet, but why me?"

Butch said, "we used to be in Team Rocket a long time ago, but they too are long gone, like your old Team Aqua. During our time in Team Rocket, our boss always seemed to favor another pair of operatives by the names of Jessie and James. While we get along better with those two nowadays, our relationship with Giovanni was forever soured."

Archie said "some of my operatives actually ran into Jessie and James before during battles with a group of kids led by one Ash Ketchum. Anyway, you got yourself a deal."

Butch, Cassidy, and Archie flew back to Vermillion City, which is where the former two had been living the past 2 years. Archie was now going to live with them until he found a place of his own.

Over the next few months, Butch and Cassidy taught Archie the art of being a best man. Pretty much what he had to do was assist Butch on the day of the wedding, be in charge of the ushers, keep the wedding rings safe until needed during the ceremony, stand next to Butch during the ceremony, act as a legal witness to the marriage and therefore sign the marriage certificate, and prepare a "best man's speech" to be read at the reception.

Finally, the day of the wedding came. The wedding was held at the Vermillion Astoria Hotel. Many well-known faces had been invited, including Ash and all his friends as a goodwill gesture to show that Butch and Cassidy had indeed been reformed. Also invited were Jessie, James and Meowth, who only really cared about eating at the reception.

Archie and Butch walked down the aisle first. Afterward, Cassidy came down, accompanied by the maid of honor, Jessebelle (who gave up on having James for her own).

The priest said, "we are gathered here today to unite one Butch Daniels and one Cassidy Beam in holy matrimony which is quite the honor, that is not to be entered into lightly, but to be taken seriously. Into this estate these two persons present come now to be joined. If anyone here can show a good reason why they should not be lawfully joined together, let them speak now or forever hold their peace."

After everyone held their peace, the priest continued. "I understand that you two have made your own wedding vows."

Butch started with his, "I, Butch Daniels, take you, Cassidy Beam, to be the one I cherish for all eternity, until such as a time that my life ends."

Cassidy stated hers next, "I, Cassidy Beam, take you, Butch Daniels, to be my one and only love for all my life, that is a given, and no one else, until the day Arceus comes to take me home."

The priest said, "I now pronounce you husband and wife, you may now kiss the bride." Butch and Cassidy shared a passionate kiss as everyone seated applauded loudly.

Later, at the wedding reception, the best man, Archie, made his speech.

"I want to propose a toast to Mr. and Mrs. Butch Daniels. Six months ago, I did not know these two. I was just about to be released from prison, finishing up time I had served for my misdeeds as leader of Team Aqua. Since then I have come to know these two very well, and they have come a long way from their past in Team Rocket.

They have worked hard to get where they are today. And I helped a lot over the last six months, and in the process they have helped me along in my new life. I used to be bad to the bone, but I have a newfound faith in Arceus.

I wish Mr. and Mrs. Daniels the best of luck going forward. I hope that you all do the same thing. After all, today is the last day I am going to live with them. I have found an apartment. I will be moving out tomorrow. Good luck to me as well."

Everyone applauded the speech that Archie gave. These had been the best six months of his life.
