Chapter 10/Final: Restoration & Romance
Myotismon was flabbergasted. LadyDevimon was knocked for a loop. Kari and Pikachu were guarding a crystal that was once Ash and everyone else saw silhouettes of nine figures approaching the enemy Digimon. They were also in more color than...well, everything else. Three of the figures were green fairy-like creatures who were more jilted than jubilant. Next were three more creatures. One was a giant reddish-brown lion with a metallic mustache. The second was a blue human jackal with spikes sticking out of its knuckles and chest. Last was a floating black legless phantom with white hair and short arms. Despite not having legs, it did appear to have a skirt. Finally, the three others. This was what surprised Myotismon...and one of them. Hold the phone...that's Ash! But wait, he's wearing that vest from the first chapter after coming home from Sinnoh. The second- That's Ash! Hold on, he's wearing an open blue spring jacket with a black t-shirt revealed. His red cap had a green triangle emblem on the white. The last- Okay, what the heck was going on? Another Ash? That one had a blue sweat-tee with his red cap having a black front, much like the first new Ash. At least they all wore jeans but with three boys staring down two Digimon who refuse to accept defeat, does anything make sense right now? "Are you seeing what I think shouldn't be possible?" Iris shuttered in thought.
"We're all seeing it all right," Max confirmed. "Three different Ashes. I remember the one in the blue sweat-tee. He wore that throughout the Hoenn Region! The other two I can't tell." Maybe not Max but Pikachu had a clue. So how did they meet?
(Flashback to White)
The Ash in the sweat-tee was with the two creatures in an area of...well, just white. "Okay, Celebi," he wondered. "Where did you take us?" Celebi, the fairy, wasn't sure itself.
"This was where we were summoned to," it spoke before realizing...it could speak and covered it's mouth with the tiny arms. Ash studied that moment and realized that they were in a familiar area.
"I take it we're in part of the DigiWorld. That's interesting." That's not the half of it. Or a third.
"Fascinating," the jackal awed. "This is the first time I can speak without using my telepathy. You mentioned this when I wanted to know you better."
"Yeah but the DigiWorld's suppose to be like our world, Lucario. Why is it all white?" Before they could ponder...
"Hey!" another Ash, the one in the black vest, shouted out. When the first three turned to the next three, they were a bit shocked not just to see each other. This Ash from Sinnoh spotted Lucario like he saw a ghost...while having a ghost by his side. "Timeout! I saw you turn into a crystal after you used your aura to save Mew!" Lucario was rather offended by the accusiation. His Ash came into defense.
"Hold on a second! What do you mean saving Mew? Mew kidnapped Pikachu and I was on my way to save it when Celebi-" Sweat-tee Ash saw Vest Ash's Celebi who aced buddy/buddy which both Ashes and the other two Pokémon witnessed.
"Two Celebi," Lucario noted. "Now I know something isn't right." The ghost would agree.
"I, too, feel the uneasiness that has brought us altogether," he muttered. You want uneasiness, here came the last Ash, his Celebi and the lion.
"Somehow, I don't think I'm gonna understand what's going on," he voiced, having the rest turn to him in gasps of surprise. While the third Celebi met up with the other two, the other two Ashes couldn't believe their eyes.
"Entei!" they freaked out in unison. The Jacket Ash shrugged, wondering what the big deal was...until he viewed the other boys. They looked very similar.
"You two wouldn't be named Ash by any chance, would you?" They shyly nodded, causing the Jacket Ash to stutter in disbelief. That's when the Sweat-Tee Ash tried to take control of the situation.
"Okay, Ash and Ash, let's calm down for a minute," he sighed. Jacket Ash and Vest Ash, and the Pokémon turned to the boy with the plan. "Somehow, we three...or nine are here for a reason. Right now, we're in an isolated area of the Digital World." Vest Ash knew that when he heard Lucario. Jacket Ash? Not so much.
"The Digital World?" he questioned. Sweat-Tee Ash and Vest Ash figured that the Jacket Ash didn't know about this place until after a certain journey.
"Yeah, you've yet to find it," Vest Ash assured. "We could explain it but it would ruin the experience and maybe we wouldn't have been as fortunate with our Pokémon up to where I am. Now if I recall, you're traveling right now with Misty and Brock." Jacket Ash hiccuped when realizing who Vest Ash mentioned.
"Yeah and Misty has Togepi." Another Pokémon Sweat-Tee Ash remembered before he had a question of his own.
"Is Brock still traveling with you?" he asked.
"Yeah..." Sweat-Tee Ash smirk with a follow-up.
"Is he still chasing girls?" Vest Ash laughed at hearing Brock's habit as a topic of humor.
"Yep, but his Croagunk's the one pulling him away, unlike Misty and Max." Jacket Ash scoffed at the misfortune of his breeder friend.
"He's got worse luck than Team Rocket, doesn't he?" he chuckled before he wondered a name Vest Ash pointed out. "But who's Max? And furthermore, who's that Pokémon?"
"Yeah, I'm wondering that myself," Sweat-Tee Ash acknowledged. The ghost opted to introduce itself.
"I am Darkrai," it named. "It's a pleasure to meet the younger versions of Ash." Darkrai, huh? That's when Vest Ash recalled Entei and how it was alive.
"By the way, Kanto Ash," he nicknamed. "How's Entei with us?" Kanto Ash was wondering why he was called that.
"Kanto Ash?" he asked.
"Easy way to know each other. You're Kanto Ash, he's Hoenn Ash since he's from the Hoenn Region and I'm Sinnoh Ash from the Sinnoh Region." Sinnoh Ash thought about it, didn't he?
"Good idea," Hoenn Ash agreed. "That way we can communicate a bit better." Kanto Ash thought hard about Entei's reappearance.
"I'm not sure myself," he struggled. "I mean, the last I saw him was after he broke Unown's spell. I think Molly was messing with those pieces again." What pieces? Before Hoenn Ash and Sinnoh Ash had a chance to contemplate, a vortex opened up. There, they saw the current Ash beginning to crystal up in front of Kari and Pikachu. "Isn't that suppose to be us in the future?" Lucario seethed at the scene. This wasn't good.
"Ash used his aura too extensively," he verified. Entei learned the issue quickly.
"That's not all that's wrong," he growled. That's when they saw a pair of slightly reeling Digimon were starting to plant their feet. Myotismon and LadyDevimon had been separated after Ophanimon defeated them as DarkDragomon...at least in that form.
"We need to defend Kari and Pikachu from Myotismon and LadyDevimon," Sinnoh Ash ordered. "How they're both alive is beyond even me." They're Digimon. They don't stay dead...at least to Myotismon's expertise. Kanto Ash led the group into the Dark Ocean where he had a clear shot at the black woman as she and Myotismon made their stroll toward Kari and Pikachu.
"I doubt they'll see this coming," he sneered.
"You've got the green light," Sinnoh Ash allowed. Kanto Ash started his dash with his fist at the ready. LadyDevimon heard the digging of sand and turned to face the oncoming assault. Probably not a good idea. WHA-POW!
LadyDevimon was slow to get to her feet while Myotismon scowled at the three duplicates of the one who sacrificed himself. "You do realize that you three are at a disadvantage," he lowly scorned. "This is the Dark Ocean, Digimon who thrive in the darkness are powerful against anything that confronts us." The Ashes just huffed a laugh as he was calling a bluff.
"I'm sorry but did you forget what our older self did to you?" Sinnoh Ash countered. Kanto Ash stood aside Sinnoh Ash for his own point.
"Or how about who we brought along to continue your beat down?" he grinned. Lucario and Entei stood together in defensive stances. "WE thrive on overcoming obstacles that we come across." Hoenn Ash joined the side before he had his words.
"Your 'Dark Ocean Advantage' is just words compared to what we've accomplished as individuals, let alone altogether," he confidently malingered. Myotismon was just as determined to stop these three.
"Is that so," he refused to believe their hype with his arms crossed over his face. "Nightmare Claw!" He fired a shadow of a figure out at Hoenn Ash but Darkrai stepped in front of the attack, taking it head-on. The attack did nothing. Darkrai absorbed the blow remained floating. All Hoenn Ash did was shrug.
"We warned you..." Kari was astonished with these Ashes that she wanted to help out instead of playing the grieving widow despite not marrying Ash. Her grit forced her to her feet and she reached out for a Pokéball. LadyDevimon heard the steps and turned to a seething brunette.
"I'll..." she growled. "I'll punish you! Sandile, I choose you!" The ball opened and out popped Sandile.
"Lemme at 'em!" he snarled. Sure thing.
"Sandile, Sandstorm!" Sandile blew the sand up and created a torrent of sand, clouding Myotismon and LadyDevimon. Both shielded themselves from the surging sands. Hoenn Ash had an idea.
"Kanto, have Entei attack that wall!" he ordered. Kanto Ash bobbed while turning to Entei.
"You got this?" he addressed.
"Just watch," it roared before turning up the heat and roasting the sandstorm with a stream of fire from its mouth. The sands turned hot red. The evil Digimon weren't expecting a four-on-two struggle.
"Crimson Lightning!" Myotismon shouted as a bending red beam tore through the heated sandstorm, dispersing it. When the sands landed on its' cooler rest, Myotismon and LadyDevimon had the look that they were in the sun for too long...and without sunscreen. Guess they burn, not tan.
"That's what I call effective," Kanto Ash awed. Before the Digimon could react, Hoenn Ash and Lucario swooped in, Lucario with a blue sphere ready to fire and Ash with another uppercut. POW! Uppercut to the jaw of Myotismon. Lucario's turn. BOOM! The sphere to the face of LadyDevimon. This was a full-on blitzkrieg. As those two were flying from contact, they spotted Darkrai...and Pikachu. How did Pikachu board Darkrai. That's when Darkrai fired massive volts of electricity, striking both Digimon.
"Pikachu, Volt Tackle!" Sinnoh Ash yelled out. Pikachu leaped off in a stream of lightning, falling onto the two.
"This is gonna sting!" Pikachu roared. Contact! KABOOM! The explosion erupted flames and smoke for a second before the Digimon crashed the ground in a major heap while Pikachu flopped into Kanto Ash's arms, electricity sparking at him.
"Pikachu, are you okay?" he asked in concern. Pikachu rose a paw to tell him not to worry.
"I'm good, Ash. Just the recoil." Kanto Ash acknowledged Pikachu's condition. Then, laughter. Myotismon was getting to his feet despite all the injuries he's suffered. LadyDevimon? She's not rising as well as him.
"That's it?" he cackled. Kari was frightened to retreat to the crystal. "That's all the power you can inflict onto me? All you did was bluff!" The Ashes grinned, knowing that if he could stand up after all that, they could offer more damage. They wouldn't need to. A flash beamed down from the sky. Color emerged on everything else. That's when, breaking through the clouds, a humongous blue snake-dragon with facial hair of a hermit. Chains waived around the transparent body.
"Azulongmon!" Mimi recognized. Wasn't he mentioned in the past sometime? The dragon gazed down at the Digimon that were creating the havoc all throughout the series.
"Anyone thinking that we're in trouble?" Kanto Ash wondered. Sinnoh Ash didn't believe it was the case.
"We're defending, not destroying," he corrected. Hoenn Ash would agree with Sinnoh Ash.
"Myotismon!" Azulongmon bellowed in anger. "LadyDevimon! You've caused enough panic throughout the many worlds you've tormented, including worlds we Digimon were never meant to discover!" Azulongmon was not pleased, more peeved at the two non-human terrorists.
"Is that so, Azulongmon?" Myotismon scowled. "Your laws do not apply to me wherever I destine myself to discover. The human world and Pokémon World's posses methods to enter the DigiWorld where we Digimon can enter and exit as we please. We've even discovered that the Pokémon are tearing up the mainlands, destroying the environment that's home to the Digimon." What a liar. Azulongmon wasn't thrilled...but not at the Pokémon in their world.
"Do you take me for a fool, Myotismon? You and LadyDevimon concocted the switch of Digimon and Pokémon to occupy the Digidestined and the trainers that sought peace among all worlds! It was thanks to the townspeople of Pallet, along with the numerous trainers from all over their world that the Digimon were in understanding. Of course, the biggest thanks goes to the first trainer, Ash Ketchum." To hear Azulongmon was hearing him say that Ash was destined to discover the DigiWorld. There was more. "Besides, thanks to the Digidestined in the Pokémon World, I aided in returning the respected creatures to their rightful places." This was great news to those on the cliff. Everything Myotismon and LadyDevimon worked for was for naught.
"I think this means you two have lost," Hoenn Ash smirked. Kanto Ash and Sinnoh Ash shook while smiling at the losing pair. "You've messed with our world, you get what's coming at you." Myotismon knew he was going to pay for his crimes, yet turned to Kari.
"I lost?" he scorned. "Let me remind you that your future self died and Ophanimon is now a Digiegg. All that's left is her and that rodent. Technically, we've won. You just came after the fact." No shame. "Even you're all powerless to stop me. Crimson-!" WOW! A giant blue bolt of lightning rained down from the sky and blasted both Digimon. LadyDevimon was destroyed, no trace of her. Myotismon? Reeling.
"I shall punish you to the fullest extent," Azulongmon warned. "You're coming with me!" A blue beam struck Myotismon but wasn't hurting him. It did immobilize him, frozen in his tracks. That's when the beam began to retract with Myotismon cradled, much to his chagrin. Finally, the Digimon aristocrat disappeared into the clouds. Only Azulongmon would know what happens to him. That's when the Digital God turned to the Ashes. Were they going to be punished as well? "You three came in the aid of yourself in the future and Kari. I thank you for everything possible." No punishment, only praise.
"Thanks, big guy," Kanto Ash laughed. Sinnoh Ash wondered if there was anything Azulongmon could do to revive Ash.
"Azulongmon, our future self..." he tried to fancy the hope. "Is there a way to bring him back to life?" Azulongmon was about to shatter what remained of Kari's broken heart.
"There's...nothing I can do," he confessed. "I can resurrect Digimon, not humans." So that's it? Pikachu's without a master, Kari's without her boyfriend... it left Kari in tears. If Azulongmon couldn't revive Ash, it's over...or was it? Hoenn Ash had an idea.
"I think I know what to do," he wished. "What if we donate our aura to Ash?" Kanto Ash and Sinnoh Ash acted befuddled. Was Hoenn Ash serious? That's when Sinnoh Ash smiled.
"Hey, we've done the impossible, right?" he acknowledged. "I think it can work." Kanto Ash and Hoenn Ash could only hope the idea will work. Kari was too emotionally distraught to hear the plan. The Ashes gathered around the crystal with Kanto Ash not knowing how to use aura.
"So, how do you guys do it?" he asked. Sinnoh Ash chose to answer him.
"Concentrate. Let the energy flow from the center of your body to the palm of your hands." Kanto Ash and Hoenn Ash bobbed as all three closed their eyes and focused. Three spheres emerged from their hands. "Okay, let combine them."
"Right." The three spheres were pressed into each other, molding into a bigger sphere. The three Ashes maintained composure and the sphere when the crystal reacted to the power of the glowing orb. Pikachu saw that, a sign that Ash was still alive.
"Can it be?" he awed, making Kari shed less tears to see what the three were performing. She stood before making her way to the Ashes.
"E-Excuse me?" she spoke up. The Ashes turned to the female brunette, face scarcely stained from her crying. "Is it... Is it all right if I give it to him?" The boys were pretty caught off-guard. She requested to hold onto the sphere. Hoenn Ash remembered how much help Kari was in the first encounters. Kari could imagine how powerful that ball of blue light would be. The Ashes relinquished control and handed the sphere to Kari holding it firm but gently. The force of energy was trembling now with swirls of white light, almost unable to be held by one person. Everyone else held their collective breath. Kari bowed her head for a hopeful prayer. Finally, she knelt onto the crystal and offered the sphere which was absorbed. Even before the crystal reacted to the offer, Kari embraced it a hug. "Ash! Please come back! Please!" Kari, prepare for your prayers to be answered. A flash of light erupted from the crystal, forcing all but Kari to shield their eyes. When the light subsided, the crystal was gone...but Ash was human again. Kari wrapped her fingers, clutching cloth, not crystal. The other Ashes and Pikachu were shocked to see their crazy idea work. Ash opened his eyes, the glisten back in his eyes...and Kari was the first thing he saw.
"K-Kari!" he murmured. Hearing his voice again, Kari twisted her head to his face. Ash saw the messy face of Kari, nearly not realizing what his supposed death caused. "Your face!" Kari started crying again, gripping Ash harder and harder.
"Don't leave me again!" she whined loudly. "You don't know what I had to go through!" Lucario was intrigued with the results. Understanding her peril, Ash wrapped his arms around the girl who confessed to him as he crystallized. Pikachu raced to Ash's side, thankful to see him awake.
"You're back!" he squeaked happily. The other Ashes were satisfied with the turnout. They turned to the Celebi, wanting to return to their own time.
"Hey, Celebi, we should get cutting," Hoenn Ash announced. The Celebi and their other Pokémon agreed. They've already done enough damage by joining together and risking the fabric of space and time. Kanto Ash got to Ash's side, wanting to give his final goodbye.
"Ash," he spoke, having the present gaze at his past. "Listen, man. Take it easy for a few days before going back. You've made Pikachu and she so worried." He knew how exhausted Ash was from his battle.
"I will," he replied. Both fist-pumped each other. Kari and Pikachu turned to see Ash's past lives depart.
"By the way, I gotta call mom and tell her nothing black on my later adventures," Hoenn Ash joked. Sinnoh Ash wasn't one to laugh too much.
"Hey, that outfit got ruined by Team Rocket, alright?" he snapped in admittance.
"I'm just saying that wearing black's gonna give me bad luck."
"Try wearing a different color undershirt than black, why don't you? And besides, when did you become superstitious?"
"Okay, you two," Kanto Ash cackled in an attempt to calm all down. "Let's just get back home and try to keep Brock in check." At last, something the other two would accept.
"Okay!" the two agreed. Finally, the Ashes and the Pokémon vanished in a flash of light. That left the rest to approach the heroes. As they were regrouping, Ash recalled something Kari said as he died in that crystal.
"Did...you mean what you said, Kari?" he reminded. Kari knew what he was questioning.
"I did, Ash," she blushed. "I do love you. You've been there for everything. I don't wanna leave you ever again." What she did next, you'd see this coming a mile away. She undressed his head and kiss him on the lips...and she didn't want to let go as the others made it to the survivors. Ash succumbed to the power of her lips softly but firmly pressed on his with a dressing of happy tears.
"Oh, la la!" Catherine awed. "Mademoiselle Kari tres adore Monsieur Ash!"Even if you don't understand French, you knew what she was talking about. Iris was not as impressed.
"There are easier ways to impress a girl than risking your life," she pegged down Ash. "Honestly, what a little kid!" Mimi was ready to shoot those words back at the Dragon trainer.
"Like you know what to do in the face of danger?" she sneered. Iris froze in body and mind. This could have targeted her and she wouldn't have had a way to fight out of it. "The way I see it, you're the little kid who needs to grow up." Low blow, Mimi! Even Max and Maria firmly bobbed nods. Iris screeched in anger that she was the one getting downgraded, not Ash. After a while, everyone returned to Earth to hear the good news that Azulongmon worked on. Everything was restored and that the Digimon were back in the DigiWorld and the Pokémon were back in the Pokémon World. Acknowledging the fact that the worlds were restored, Ash was ready to continue on his adventures. However, Kari convinced him to chill out for a few days. While they waited, the Pokémon and the Digimon, all owned by the way, played soccer despite hardly knowing the game. Davis coached them and had fun, much to Dawn's delight. Heck, Ash and Kari had tagged along with Dawn and Davis for a double date. In a sense, Davis was hanging out with Kari. Too bad that his initial prize went to someone else. Finally, Gatomon was reborn, but was a green ball with her tail. Give her time, she'll grow up. After the few days, Ash, Iris and Kari, along with their friends, were on their way back to the Unova Region. But let's skip ahead...a few years...like a decade.
(Lake Valor Pokémon Center/ 10 years later)
It had been 10 years since the chaos of Digimon and Pokémon caused havoc for all the worlds. The peace among both monsters' groups was never any stronger than today. Yet today was a very special day. A raven-haired man and a brunette woman were setting up dishes of food. Was there a party? Actually, yes. There's a flier that indicated the event.
WEDDING LAKE VALOR MAY 15, NOON
YOU ARE CORDIALLY INVITED TO ATTEND THE WEDDING OF DAVIS & DAWN
RECEPTION LUNCHEON AFTER THE WEDDING IN THE STADIUM LOUNGE
Wait a second...Davis and Dawn getting married, not Ash and Kari? A cell phone rang. The brunette picked it up. "Kari Ketchum!" she replied. Wait...she's already married? We missed it?
"Kari, it's me!" a familiar voice cheerfully echoed.
"Good morning, Dawn! Any reason you're calling?"
"Nerves. I wanna go through with this but I don't wanna fall on my face and embarrass either side." Kari scoffed a little laugh. "I'm serious! You and Ash had unreal composure when you two wed with the ElecSalamon roaming around." ElecSalamon? Would she be meaning the litter of yellow puppies sleeping by Gatomon and Pikachu in the living room? How many weddings did we miss?
"You think you're the only one nervous about today?" Kari turned to her raven-haired husband. "Ash, how many showers has Davis taken today?" Ash had to remember the noises from this morning.
"Three," he said. That's when the shower ran again. "Make that four. I heard of cleaning up your act but this is ridiculous." Kari and Dawn giggled at Davis' way of dealing with such a tense situation.
"It's also highly uncharacteristic of him. He doesn't give in to fear so swiftly, if at all." Say hello to reality, Davis. Then, another raven-haired teen entered.
"Well guys?" a nostalgic voice cheered. The couple saw their younger friend...in a tuxedo-printed t-shirt. Kari was in a yellow satin gown with a pink wool light sweater-type jacket opened while Ash had fashioned himself in a blue tux. Ash sighed in displeasure.
"Max, really?" he voiced his disagreement. Max was without his glasses. Contacts? Laser surgery?
"What? It's a suit!" Even Kari had to agree with Ash and not because they're husband and wife.
"I remember Tai wearing that when he went on that date in Nice with Catherine," she noted. "But this isn't a date you're going to, dear. Go back and get changed." Max mulled at the rejection. Ash and Kari knew he meant well. It's just the wrong occasion for that t-shirt. Max retreated to get himself properly dressed. Finally, the familiar Afro-brunette emerged in a turquoise tuxedo. "Finally squeaky clean there, Davis?" Flustered, Davis muttered something to try and mask that mug of shame. Ash and Kari were wondering because he kept it muffled.
"Look, you'll be fine, Davis," Ash reassured. "It's like an interview and all you need to do is say a few words." Listen to him like he knows what goes on in weddings. "Tai, TK and I held ourselves in check when in front of the crowd." Tai and TK got married? To who? A shy laugh from Davis wasn't settling in well. Leave it to the other half to help out.
"If it eases you any, Dawn's just as nervous as you." Davis was rather awed. His bride-to-be was in an emotional wreck as he was. His nerves were loose again.
"Sorry, guys," he apologized. "It's just that...I do better against the forces of evil like the Dark Masters to Team Rocket and so on. Weddings are completely different and how TV stayed so composed to Misty, I doubt I'd do the same." Laughter echoed but it wasn't from the couple...but the litter. A couple of the ElecSalamon heard the funny exchange.
"Uncle Davis is funny!" one of the pups barked in humor.
"Yeah, he is!" the other scoffed loudly. The happy woofing frustrated Davis all over again.
"Okay, you two!" Ash scorned softly. "Let's not upset Uncle Davis anymore than he already is." The ElecSalamon quieted their hounding to give Davis peace. After Max was properly in a green tux over his goofy t-shirt, they loaded the car with the food before departing for the stadium. There, scores of people, including trainers, former trainers, Digidestined, parents and some others were waiting for the wedding to arrive. The gazebo was set for the wedding, white with streamers and balloons. A white rug centered between rows of seats. There were even some familiar faces but that would take too long to name all who were there. A man in the cloth stood in front with green hair sticking out of his beret. Everyone found seats for the celebration.
"Okay, everyone," he spoke out. "We'll be starting soon." Everyone was quiet, though there were some whispers in the crowd. Suddenly, the organ began to play. A little girl pranced down the isle, spreading pedals on the rug. Davis and a few of his groomsmen of his choice, all in black, waited by the alter in the front. Coming down the isle were some of the bridesmaids in white gowns with a woman in a gorgeous white sparkling gown and a veil over her face. Blue hair came out of the back of the tiara. Finally, she was by Davis' side. Pray that this goes through without a hitch. The music stopped.
"Here we go." Davis muttered under his breath.
"Good afternoon and welcome to Lake Valor. I can assure you that we had plenty of time for everyone to find the lake for today. However, today isn't a sightseeing tour but a tour for Davis and Dawn into a joint life together. The weather has cooperated and the gods in all of our worlds are here to witness what was once impossible to know being commonplace. Today, Dawn and Davis are ready to make a step many others in the past have made as well as those in the future will experience. As we are ready to unite the two, if anyone has doubt as to why these two shant wed, become a family, speak now. Otherwise, hold your peace until the end." Everyone remained quiet. Physically, not mentally.
"Other than being the Grand Festival Champion, Wallace is pretty good at being a priest,' Max thought. Without a word spoken...
"Very well, then. Davis, will you please reveal Miss Dawn face from behind the veil?" Easy! Davis "clipped" the veil and reveal a lavishing young face of Dawn. Her cheeks were blushing red and that's not foundation. "Davis, will you accept Dawn as your beloved wife, and become her beloved husband to live in the harmony of your heart, your soul and your world, to have and to hold, in sickness and in health, overcoming the many perilous obstacles that come betwixt you and her until death do you part, in front of your friends and families?" Seeing Dawn practically made her forget about Kari. Then again, everything that had happened and to Ash those ten years ago, Davis saw him only desiring the girl who desired him.
"I wouldn't want it any other way," he answered. "Therefore, I do." Nice touch. Kari hid her face in embarrassment with her hand and elbowed Ash. Why, did he have him practice that? Ash got defensive to her.
"Not me," he whispered.
"Now, Dawn," Wallace continued. "Will you accept Davis as your beloved husband and become his beloved wife to live in the harmony of your heart, your soul and your world, to have and to hold, in sickness and in health, overcoming the many perilous obstacles that come betwixt you and her until death do you part, in front of your friends and families?" Dawn huffed a giggle, ready to make the next step.
"Of course," she smiled. "I do to every word." That's when one of the groomsmen came forward with a ring embedded in a pillow. Davis plucked it from the pillow and presented it to Dawn. Everyone held collective breaths, hoping everything worked. Davis slipped the gold ring with a shimmering pearl onto Dawn's finger. Perfect fit.
"Let it be known that these two have acknowledged their love together and are ready to live lives as one. Upon those above and here as our witnesses, I happily pronounce you as husband and wife, Davis and Dawn Motomiya. You may kiss the bride." Finally, the two kissed...and it seemed like they were stuck. Davis, were you chewing on gum for this? Either way, the crowd hoot and hollered the union of the joyous pairing. It was quite a sight. There were weddings we missed but it's a good thing to know about this. For the three worlds of Earth, the Pokémon World and the DigiWorld, peace will be forever.
THE END OF THE SERIES
