This chapter is just a summary of Felipe and Erika's life after they went back to Celadon. It's just a highlight of their lives, cause I like to do that!
~
It's been 5 years since the incident at the Pokemon League. Felipe became a hero in Kanto; the boy that was willing to give his life to safe his pokemon. After Felipe and Erika came back to Celadon, they begun to share the gym leader duties. Erika battled normal and weak trainers, while Felipe battled the more experienced ones.
Celadon City changed a lot. People begun to move out of Celadon, and to Vermilion City, which became the trading city of Kanto. Celadon's big buildings were demolished, and used as material for the new buildings in Vermilion. Celadon became a normal village, not big but not small, and retained its grass type gym.
~ at a church in Celadon City
"Do you, Erika, accept Felipe as your husband?" asked a priest to Erika.
"I do."
"And do you, Felipe, accept Erika as your wife?" asked the priest to Felipe.
"I do."
"The ring please." Bulbasaur, who was next to Felipe, extended its vines. There was a ring on each vine. Felipe and Erika took the rings and put them on each others fingers.
"Very well. You may kiss the bride." Felipe leaned over to Erika and gave her a short French kiss. They then walked out of the church. The guests were throwing flowers at the couple. Many familiar faces could be seen; Kihill, Luisa, John, Falco, Professor Oak, Felipe's mom, all of Felipe's pokemon and many trainers from the gym.

After Felipe and Erika married, they had 2 kids. Julia came first, she became a pokemon trainer like her parents and went to Hoenn. One years later came Felipe Jr., who followed the family tradition and became a pokemon trainer. Felipe Jr. took the Johto challenge. Felipe and Erika continued to live peacefully at the Celadon gym, while their kids became pokemon trainers.
~ many decades later
There was a party at the Celadon gym for Felipe's birthday.
"Happy centennial birthday!!" many people were screaming.
"Everyone, shut up!" yelled Felipe. The party became quiet. "Heh, thank you!"
"Come on, Felipe. Give us a speech!" yelled someone.
"What do you think I'm doing? I may be old but I'm not stupid. Well, anyway, if you're not drunk you may know that today I'm turning 100 years old. It's been a dream of mine to live 100 years old, and today, that dream came true! I'm the world's oldest gym leader, and in second is my dear wife Erika. Come here honey!" Erika slowly walked over next to Felipe. "She is 99 years old, but she still looks hot!"
"Just continue the speech...." she said.
"I'm a great grandparent, still have my health and I have my great wife, but sadly, one of my best friends isn't with us anymore. I never thought that I could live without bulbasaur, but Erika and many others helped me through it. And I'm sure I'll see him again someday....."
~ Later that day
"I'm exhausted, I'm going to sleep." said Felipe.
"It's only 5PM!" replied Julia.
"Sorry, but we, old people, need to sleep early! Besides, you mother is already asleep, I'll give keep her company." Felipe walked to his room. "Hey honey."
"You're going to sleep already?" said Erika.
"Aren't you sleeping?"
"No, I'm just taking a nap...."
"Sure you are....now lets get to sleep."
"Just don't snore."
"I love you Erika."
"That was random. I love you too."
Erika never woke up.
~ a few days later
Felipe was walking through the gym, his face down. He walked through a door behind the gym, and went to a shrine on the back of the gym. He opened the door and went in. There were 2 graves there.
"Hello Erika, bulbasaur...." a tear dropped from his eye. "It's hard without you 2. I don't know how much longer I can withstand the pain. Maybe I'll join you two soon." Felipe walked out of the shrine and back into his room.
"Dad, are you ok?" knocked someone on the door.
"Come in son." Felipe Jr. walked in. "I'm old, and I feel I don't have much time left."
"Don't say that!"
"It's true, and when I'm gone, I want you to take over the gym."
"Are you sure? Don't you think I'm a little too old for this. And I only have one grass pokemon, venusaur."
"If I could be a gym leader until I was 100 years old, then so can you. I'm sure you'll do fine since you beat the Johto League,"
"Ok, I'll try. See ya later." Felipe Jr. left the room.
"I had such a good life....." said Felipe to himself as he sat on his bed. "Getting bulbasaur as my first pokemon, beating all those gym leaders......meeting Erika. The Pokemon League, Scott. Wait, Scott wasn't a good thing. Heh, I still remember his face when I went to visit him in prison. He had become somebody's bitch. Marrying, having kids, being the best gym leader there ever was....." Felipe chuckled as he reached for his belt.
"Come out bulbasaur." A bulbasaur popped out of the pokeball. Felipe smiled and petted bulbasaur on its head. "You look just like your father. You've taken good care of the gym."
"Saur?"
"Return now." Felipe pointed the pokeball at bulbasaur and it returned to its pokeball. Felipe looked to group picture next to his bed. Felipe and Erika looked very young in this picture. They were both standing in front of the Celadon Gym. Below them was bulbasaur and a treecko with a pink bow on its head. Between the two pokemon there was a cute baby bulbasaur. Felipe sighed.
"Good times...." Felipe took off his shoes and lied down on the bed. "I think it's time for me to go......" Felipe closed his eyes. He passed away with a bright smile on his face.
THE END
~
Well, that's it. I finished. I hope you don't think the ending was sad, it's not supposed to. I really enjoyed writing this fic and it was a new experience for me since this is my first fic.
Thank you to everyone that reviewed. I probably would have given up if you all didn't review!
So thank you heath 999, SulliMike23, Hanni B, The Review Guy(where did you go?), Bryan White, David, Martial Arts Master, Adam, DragonSlayer, Inferno719, Blitz Blazer, Celebi and Kiki. I hope I didn't miss anybody.
I'll probably write another fanfic, but it probably won't be about pokemon. Oh, and could you notice that English is my second language? Just wondering.....
