A year later after Ash and everyone else graduated from Beacon, the day had finally come: Ash and Blake's wedding day. Ash has brought in Cilan, Jaune, and Ren as his groomsmen and made Ritchie his best man. Blake made Ruby, Weiss, and Ilia her bridesmaids and made Yang her maid of honor.

Ash's time as a Pokémon Champion started taking off after he created the Pokémon League in Vale that he dubbed the Kingdom Hearts Palace Conference. His Elite Four consists of Ritchie, who was an electric type expert. Janine, Koga's daughter and a poison type mistress, was promoted to an Elite Four by Ash. A bighorn ram Faunus named Charles Mineral became an Elite Four for showing his skills as both a Huntsman and a Pokémon Trainer as a whole. He became a rock type master for the Elite Four. Finally, a reindeer Faunus woman named Chiara Gem was an ice type mistress from Menagerie and she became an Elite Four curtesy of her loyalty to the champion.

They of course stablished many gyms around the region with the final gym at the capital itself. The new trainers from around the world are now going to put through training by Pokémon Rangers to be fit for combat against the Grimm that have spread worldwide. There are also new Hunter Academies being made for both Pokémon Trainers and Hunters alike.

Since he was the Pokémon Champion, he also had a seat in the Vale and the Grand Council. They discussed about future events, law enforcements, and mostly to keep an eye on Ash. Atlas and Vale had next to no concerns with Ash, but Mistral and Vacuo were a bit tense with him. Fortunately, things have been going very straightforward as it is.

Thanks to Lenora Velvet, after Team CLOD disbanded after graduation, and marrying Sun, she was able to establish a government in Vacuo, making it easier to live at, and keeping things in check. The Vacuo Council consisted of several hired individuals that were capable enough to keep the kingdom from going into chaos.

But now, now is a day for Ash and Blake to put that all aside as they have their wedding day today.

Everyone that was invited was at the park where the war ended years prior. Ash and Blake invited many people, including Ozma and Salem. Salem was pregnant and already had a daughter in her arms named Henrietta with a second child well on the way. Jaune and Pyrrha were also there with Pyrrha holding a child that was recently born named Crescent Arc.

With Ash, he had just finished adjusting himself in his tuxedo. It was a multi colored tux with his Pauldron on over the sleeve. He had black shoes and his hair, which was long enough for a ponytail, was covering one of his eyes.

"Well Ash, the time has come." Ritchie said while he was standing by the door. Ritchie and the other groomsmen wore the same tux, but had more color to the Pokémon type they specialized in.

Ash smiled as he turned towards him.

"It's show time." Ash said as he left with Ritchie.

Meanwhile with Blake, she was pacing back and forth while stopping to look at herself in the mirror to check on her style and makeup. She was in a state of paranoia. She wore a black and purple high low gown that was strapless and had long sleeves that reached to her middle finger. She had a single bow wrapped around her torso and she wore black heels. Her hair was in a ponytail and she had makeup that made her look like she was blushing. To top it all off, she wore a tiara that made her look more like a princess.

Unfortunately, she was panicking.

"Oh! What if he doesn't like it? What if I potentially ruin this? UGH!" She yelled as she sat on a chair and had her face in her hands.

"Blakey? Everything okay?" Yang asked as she poked her head through the door. She and the bridesmaids wore a purple single strap short dress. Her hair was in a ponytail and she wore purple heels. "Hey! What's the matter?" Yang asked as she quickly went to her teammate and sister figure.

"This was a bad idea. I can't do this." Blake said while shaking a bit.

"Blake, we told you that this was normal. Just take a few deep breaths and just think how happy you and Ash will be when the day ends." Yang said as she held her hands. Blake's amber eyes met her lilac colored eyes. "You know I got your back. Now let's get out there. The ceremony is in a few minutes. You look perfect Blake." She said as she gently pulled her to her feet.

"Yeah…yeah you're right." Blake said as she looked at herself in the mirror one last time. She picked up a bouquet on the counter and holds it under her chest. "Ash, here comes the bride." She whispered.

Everyone gathered at the park and soon enough, the ceremony had begun.

Cue The Patronus Light by John Williams.

The officiant had arrived and it was Professor Oak, who had recently went into retirement and his granddaughter had taken over his job. Following him was Kali. She had an all-black dress and went to sit on the left isle. She was then followed by the bridesmaids and the groomsmen. They were in pairs and their arms wrapped around. Ritchie and Yang were behind them with their arms crossed as well. Ash followed them as he walked by himself. He looked towards everyone in the love group and smiled at them that were with the audience. He went to the alter and was on the right side. Derek followed while holding a pillow with the rings attached to it. He sat next to the twins, who married him and they wore their respected colors as beautiful gowns in the front. Ruby was behind as the flower girl. She scattered rose petals all around the runway. She then sat next to her parents.

Cue The Wedding March by Queen.

Everyone watched as Blake was being escorted down the runway by Ghira. Ash gasped in amazement of the beauty that was coming right towards him Ash didn't need his semblance to know how nervous she was for today, and he couldn't blame her. In fact he too, was nervous. When they arrived, Blake handed her bouquet to Yang and stood on the left side. Ghira hugged Ash and patted his shoulder. He left to join Kali on the left side of the audience.

"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to witness the marriage of these two young people that have gone through thick and thin, and many obstacles along the way. If there is anyone that thinks that these two should not be together, speak now or forever hold your peace." Oak said to everyone.

Ash and Blake tensed up a bit after he said that. There was silence for a good few seconds, until Oak sealed the deal, calming down the groom and bride.

"The bride and the groom have made their own vows and they will now recite them to each other." Oak said while stepping aside.

Ash held her hands and took a deep breath.

"Blake, when I first met you all, you have made my life so much happier. You've become more than just my friend, but as my family. I owe my life to all of you, you especially. When we got together, I knew that we would have a whole lot to handle. We were able to truly move on from our past for good and you have become a very beautiful woman that became a part of my life. I know that we haven't really given each other much, but you've already given me the best gift you could me: you. You just being here with me is the only thing I've really needed. I love you Blake Belladonna, and I will do whatever it takes to keep our relationship, soon to be marriage, a happy one." Ash said to her.

Blake's eyes became a bit glossy when he said those words, but now it was her turn.

"Ash, ever since I first saw you in the Indigo Plateau Pokémon Tournament years ago, you've become a role model to me to shoot for a better future away from the White Fang. But that day when my team and Team JNPR collected you from the Emerald Forest, my dream came true and I finally met you. I've loved you ever since you came to Beacon Academy and I couldn't have been any happier to be your girlfriend. The best thing you've given me was making this day a reality, despite all the problems and issues we had. I love you Ash Ketchum, and I want you to be the husband that I've dreamt you would become." Blake said while holding his hands tighter.

Ash smiled and kept himself restrained to not kiss her soon. He noticed at the corner of his eye that Kali was crying into a handkerchief.

Oak then signaled Derek to step forward with the rings. Ash and Blake then took the rings.

"Ash, with this ring I thee wed." Blake said as she slipped the ring on.

"Blake, with this ring I thee wed." Ash repeated as he too slipped the other ring onto her finger.

"Ash Ketchum, do you take this woman to be your lawfully wedded wife, to love and to hold and sickness and in health till death do you part?" Oak asked Ash.

"I do." Ash said.

"Blake Belladonna, do you take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband, to love and to hold and sickness and in health till death do you part?" Oak asked Blake.

"I do." Blake said while trying to contain her tears of happiness.

"Then by the power vested in me, I pronounce this couple husband and wife. You may kiss the bride." Oak said.

Blake couldn't hold it back any longer. She grabbed his chest and head and smashed her lips onto his. They shared a passionate kiss while everyone cheered for the newly wedded couple. After they broke the kiss, Blake retrieved her bouquet from Yang and they ran down the runway.

"That's my girl!" Ghira yelled from the distance.

Ash and Blake entered a limo that was just outside the park. Blake scooted towards her new husband and leaned on him.

"My beautiful wife." Ash said while rubbing her side.

"Oh Ash." Blake said before they shared another kiss.

Later on that day, they arrived at a special location for the reception called The Horizon. It had a beautiful view of the ocean due south of Vale. Ash and Blake arrived and they were escorted inside by officials. Everyone else arrived and was seated at their assigned tables.

"Ladies and gentlemen, featuring the arrival of the newly wedded couple. Ash Ketchum and Blake Belladonna." The announcer said. Everyone cheered as Ash and Blake arrived and they sat down at their respected table.

Ash and Blake took noticed that they had a lot of gifts to look into the next day, but for now they enjoyed the day. When the banquet arrived, they were the first to get their meals. Everyone else followed.

Just then, they saw the wedding cake being presented by several high class chiefs, including Miette. She made the design and the finishing touches on the cake. Ash and Blake took a knife and sliced it. They fed each other the piece. Blake took noticed that a little bit on Ash's mouth on the edge. She licked it off of him and chuckled.

"You missed that bit on purpose didn't you?" Ash asked with a teasing look.

"Maybe?" She asked with the same teasing look.

Finally, Ash and Blake began their first dance. They gotten to the center of the dance floor and they began to dance. Blake held her dress up with one hand and a hand on Ash's shoulder while they spun around a bit.

"Having the time of your life Blake?" Ash asked her.

"Of course. But, where's Manaphy?" Blake asked.

"Honey, Manaphy returned to the Sea Temple remember? After all, Manaphy is the Prince of the Sea. I'm sure it'll be back soon." Ash said.

"I just miss Manaphy. It's like a part of our family." She said with a bit of sadness.

"We'll see it again soon enough. After all, we are like its parents." He said before putting her in a dip and she began chuckling.

Everyone cheered as the song and dance ended. Just then, Ghira stepped forward and Blake took his hand before they started dancing. Ash stepped aside and leaned on a window watching them dance.

Just then, Derek joined him.

"Enjoying yourself Ash?" Derek asked.

"You have no idea of how much I really am." Ash said.

"Try me. I've wedded both Melanie and Militia at the same time. Who has more on their plate?" Derek asked.

"A fair point. However, I just wish my parents were here. I wouldn't have mind sharing a dance with mom." Ash said as his expression turned to sadness.

While he did moved on from what had happened from the war years back, losing his mother took a bigger toll on him than he thought.

"She would be very proud." Derek said. When the dance ended, they all cheered for both Blake and Ghira. "Heads up Ash, you got company." Derek said as he eyed someone approaching him.

Ash looked and saw Kali right next to him.

"Ash, did you really think you would be left out? Come on you." Kali said as she pulled him to the dance floor.

"Very well. I guess it's only fair." Ash said before they got into dancing.

"Go Ash! Go mom!" Blake yelled as she sat at her table with Ghira next to her.

Kali chuckled after Blake said that while the two danced.

"And how's your day been so far?" Ash asked.

"Extraordinary amazing. However, I've noticed that you seem to be showing off a forced smile. What's bothering you?" Kali asked with concern.

"It's just that, I was telling Derek that I wished my mother at the very least was here. I just feel somewhat…left out." He answered.

"Honey, your mother and father never left you. As long as you keep them here in your heart, they'll always be close." She said.

"I know, but still." He said. Once their dance ended, Kali kissed his cheek. "I guess the true celebration begins." He said to her.

"Of course." Kali said.

The banquet finally arrived and everyone began to get some delicious meals. Ash and Blake were right there at their table looking all around them as everyone was eating, and soon enough dancing with others.

Meanwhile, Derek was standing behind the twins as they ate. He gazed as everyone was having fun at the reception. He had a bit of a flashback when he and the twins married that wonderful day and had all of his dark memories behind him.

Suddenly, he felt a tab on his shoulder. He saw Coco standing there.

"Derek, may I talk to you?" She asked.

"Of course. I'll be back." He said to the twins before he left with Coco.

As he was leaving, the twins watched him.

"Think we should tell him that we're pregnant?" Militia asked.

"Nah, not right now. We'll tell him tomorrow." Melanie answered.

Back with Coco and Derek, they went outside where they had some quiet.

"Coco, what's wrong?" He asked.

"I…I never really apologized to you after what I done to you a few years back. After seeing what went down with you and your father at the Keyblade Graveyard, it made me has some time to reflect. Once I realized more of what I've done, I couldn't really stomach to tell you how sorry I was." Coco admitted with shame.

"Coco, that was more than three years ago. Besides in a way, I did deserve it." He said to her.

"What!? How can you say that?" She asked with shock.

"Not here. Tell you what." He was saying as he pulled out his scroll and showed her a temple out in patch that was nearby the Xiao Long residence. "Come to this temple and I will explain to you more about why I'm here, aside from being with the twins and with my true friends and family." He said to her.

"Why's that out in Patch? I never knew that was there." Coco asked as she looked at the temple.

"That's probably because me and my Pokémon worked on that place for some time. Plus, Raven sort of adopted me as a son." He answered.

"Oh. I guess it wouldn't hurt." She said before she hugged him. He returned it and rubbed her head. "I'm sorry." She said.

"It's alright." He said.

Back with Ash, he was dancing with Weiss during a slow song.

"Enjoying yourself Weiss?" He asked.

"I am Ash. Soon enough, this will be us." She whispered before she kissed his cheek.

"It sure will." He said.

When the song ended, Weiss felt her shoulder getting a few tabs. She looked and saw Winter right there in the same blue dress she wore from the event during the Vytal Tournament a few years ago.

"Mind if I cut in?" She asked.

"Of course. He's all yours." Weiss said before she kissed Ash's other cheek and went to join Ruby.

Winter approached Ash and they began to dance.

"I take it you're also enjoying the evening?" He asked.

"Yes Ash. General Ironwood, despite my promotion to commander, actually let me take a load off for a bit." Winter explained.

"I have heard of your promotion. I'm happy for you. So uh…any luck on a suitor?" He asked.

"No. However, remember when you told me that if something went wrong with you and Weiss and it didn't work out?" She asked as she gotten a bit closer.

"Yeah, and I also was told by Weiss that you can be as closed as you want with me. I trust you Winter, but remember that we are not a couple you and I." Ash reminded her.

Winter whined a bit, but had to keep herself in check.

"No matter. But either way…" Winter was saying before leaning towards his ear and whispered, "You're my type."

"Wha…!?" Ash yelled a bit before Winter gave him a quick kiss. "Y-you were serious?" He asked.

"Yes." She answered with a smirk.

"You swear to god?" He asked again. She groaned in annoyance and smacked the back of his head. "Ow! What was that for?" He asked as he rubbed the location she hit him at.

"I mean it Ash you moron! Or do you need more proof?" She asked while whisper shouting at him.

"A fair point, but I'm just making sure we're on the same page, chapter at the very least." Ash said while trying to calm the commander down and looking at the reader.

"Good, now let's just enjoy the day. After all, this is a celebration for you and Blake." Winter said as they continued to dance. After about a couple more minutes, the song ended. "Thank you. That was very delightful." She said.

"Well, it takes two to tango." Ash said with a smile.

"And three is always a crowd." Winter said. Suddenly, Ash pecked her cheek. "Oh?" Winter asked with a bit of shock.

"Just a bit of a thank you for being here and for being the friend I needed you to be." Ash answered.

"Enjoy the rest of the evening tonight. Hopefully I'll see you soon at a future meeting with the Grand Council." Winter said as she walked off. As she did so, she swayed her hips a bit, making Ash blush a bit.

Glynda then stepped forward and blocked his view.

"Perhaps maybe this view would be more beneficial my love." She said.

Glynda was wearing a beautiful black dress that was singled strapped and a low skirt that showed off her legs. She wore black heels and her hair remained in a bun.

"You never cease to amaze me Glynda." He said as they began to dance.

"Ash, I've been thinking of our wedding. I would like ours to be private." She said.

"Why's that?" He asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Let's just say that I want less people to know of our relationship. Even though both council representatives know of us, I don't want the public to know." She answered.

"I get ya." He said as they just continued to dance.

A few hours went by and the reception has come to an end. Ash and Blake returned to Kuo Kuana and they stayed there for the night. Ash and Blake got out of their suits and dress and put them in bags, and they got ready for bed.

Ash and Blake held each other as they lay down.

"How would you rate today Blake?" Ash asked.

"Fifteen out of ten. This was way better than I thought it would be Ash, my handsome husband." She said while rubbing her ears on his cheek.

"I couldn't agree more my wonderful wife. I love you." He whispered.

"I love you too." She said just as they were about to drift to sleep. "So…when do you think we'll have kids?" She asked out of the blue.

Ash's eyes shot open and his heart skipped a beat or two.

"I think it's a bit early to start thinking of that Blakey. Let's just take some time before we discuss that." Ash suggested.

"Yeah. Good night." She said before she drifted to sleep. Ash smiled at her and went to sleep.

As they slept, both Ghira and Kali peeked through the door and they saw their daughter and son in-law sleeping.

"I hope she's ready to take this next step." Ghira said, referring to her becoming the next chieftess of the village.

"I know she will be. But for now, let them sleep and enjoy a few more years together." Kali said before they went to bed themselves.

A couple hours into their sleep, Ash and Blake were taken into the Hall of Origin. However, Arceus was nowhere to be seen.

"This is the Hall of Origin. This is where I've been while I've been recovering from my coma." Ash said to her.

"I've been here before with the others before your trial a few years ago. This place is so beautiful. But, why are we here?" She asked.

"Greetings children." A familiar voice spoke from above them.

They looked up and they saw the Gods of Light and Darkness in their dragon forms flying right towards them. By the time they reached the ground, they reverted to their humanoid forms.

Ash and Blake knelt down before them.

"Noble Brothers of Light and Darkness, it is an honor to see you both again." Ash said with kindness.

"It is wonderful to see you in person and well again Ash." Light said.

"I trust by now you are wondering why we have summoned you both here tonight." Dark asked.

"Yes. Why have you brought us here?" Blake asked.

"We wanted to reward you, and the ones that have sided with Ash into protecting one of our greatest creations of course." Light answered.

"That reminds me. If Remnant and its inhabitants are your creations, why do you not live amongst us?" Ash asked as he and Blake stood back up.

"The very creations we have made turned on us from when I refused Salem pleas eons ago." Light answered.

"Not only that, but her army of mages and sages fought us, and we wiped out the first group of humanity. Over time, humanity began anew, but only as a mere fraction of its predecessors." Dark added.

"That's…that's horrible. Well as you can see, humanity has changed for the best." Blake pointed out.

"Perhaps, but enough of that. What is it that you so desire?" Light asked.

Ash and Blake looked at each other for a moment. This was huge for them, so they had to make this count.

"Well, I was wondering if those that were killed from the war that happened in Vale years ago be brought back to life so they can live the rest of their lives in peace. Can you make that happen?" Ash asked.

"That is unfortunately beyond our decisions." Light answered with a voice of disappointment.

"I've made that mistake that fateful day eons ago when I answered Salem's pleas, but corrected it due to my brother." Dark said.

"Oh…I see." Ash whispered and looked away a bit.

He wanted to spend time with his mother, father and Pikachu again from all that has happened. Blake held her husband's arm to comfort him.

"Well, there is one thing that I was wondering if you can do. You see, the White Fang has been causing a civil war amongst the Faunus for too long, and our species is weary thin. What I am asking is this: can you please rebalance the population of the humans and the Faunus on Remnant?" Blake requested.

Both brothers looked at each other and thought for a moment. After a bit, the Brother of Darkness spoke up.

"This can be done. However, it will take the strength of both of your requests to make it happen." He said to them.

"Well if my request won't work, then balancing it is. I side with my wife's request." Ash said with a small smile.

"Very well. This shall be done." Light said as he and his brother charged up a ball of their respective powers and aimed it right at Remnant. They fired them at the planet, and their power spread around it at the speed of light. "Those of random choices will become Faunus to rebalance the population. It will take a little bit of time, but it will happen." He finished.

Both Ash and Blake knelt before them once again.

"A million thank yous noble brothers. If ever you do return to Remnant, we will do our best to welcome you back with open arms." Blake said with happiness radiating from her.

"We should be thanking the lot of you. After all, you all managed to save our creations. Return now to Remnant. The next chapter in your lives will now open." Light said before a blinding light began to radiate from them.

"Farewell." Dark said before Ash and Blake vanished from the light.

The next morning, Ash and Blake woke up and they just eyed each other before Blake rubbed her head onto his.

During breakfast, Blake and Kali made them all omelets from Blake's late grandmother's recipe. It was quite delicious.

"I don't know about you all, but I still have a bit of a headache from all the fun at the reception last night." Kali said while drinking lots of water.

"I was just thrilled that I was able to sleep peacefully now that Blake has a wonderful suitor in our lives." Ghira said while looking at his daughter and son in-law.

"Just can't wait to see what all happens next." Ash said. Suddenly, his scroll in his arm was going off. He quickly answered it knowing that Ruby was calling. "Hey Rubes, what's up?" He asked.

"ASH! YOU NEED TO GET BACK HERE QUICK! SOMETHING'S HAPPENED TO EMERALD! NO TIME TO EXPLAIN! QUICK!" Ruby screamed before hanging up before Ash could ask what was going on.

Ash put the scroll away with a shocked looked. He and Blake, who was also shocked, looked towards each other.

"Uh oh. Looks like the request worked on her." Ash said as concern grew.

"I wonder what she is now." Blake wondered.

"What are you talking about?" Ghira asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Well…how can we say this that might make sense?" Blake asked before thinking. She and Ash then explain to them about the 'dream' they had last night about meeting the brothers and their request to them. "So in short, Emerald may have turned into a Faunus." Blake finished.

"That might explain the screaming from Ruby. Although, I think it sounds like mumbo jumbo to me, but it seems like it's urgent. Head on out to the Keyblade Manor and we'll clean up." Kali said.

"Okay. Come on Blakey, we got a new Faunus to check up on." Ash said as he summoned his Ultima Weapon and created a portal to the Keyblade Manor.

"We'll be right back. Love you!" Blake yelled as she and Ash ran through the portal and it closed.

"Upon arriving at the manor, they sprinted inside and they met up with Ruby and Glynda.

"Welcome home. Emerald is in her room recovering. Fair warning, her new Faunus trait isn't the only thing that happened to her." Glynda explained.

"Yang already got her some new clothing for now. Once she's better, we're going to do some shopping." Ruby said as she led them to Emerald's room. They stopped right outside of it. "Good luck, and be ready for what you're about to see." Ruby said before leaving.

Ash and Blake slowly entered and they saw Emerald almost completely covered up minus her face. She was a bit twitchy, but it was hardly noticeable.

"Emerald? How are you feeling?" Blake asked as she and Ash knelt down to her.

Emerald opened her eyes and looked at them.

"Ash…Blake…something's happened to me this morning. I'm scared." She said in a shaky voice.

"You have nothing to be scared of. Me, Velvet, and Ruby will help you. Come on out and let's take a look at you." Blake said.

Emerald looked down for a moment before she slowly pushed the covers off of her. She was wearing Yang's old slayer outfit. Just when she pulled the pillows off her head, her hair was longer, and then they saw them…long bunny ears.

"Whoa, and just like Velvet's ears. They look cute on you Emerald." Ash said while gently stroking them, causing Emerald to gasp and moan from them. "Sorry, forgot how sensitive they can be." Ash said while blushing a bit.

"That's not the only thing that happened." Emerald whimpered before she slowly stood up.

Ash and Blake noticed that she was now slightly taller than Ash, minus the ears. They also noticed she had a very sexier hourglass figure.

"What the? Wasn't expecting any of this except for the trait." Ash said.

"What are you talking about?" Emerald asked.

"I think, you might want to sit down. And you might want to brace yourself." Blake suggested. After they sat down, they explained to Emerald the same thing to Ghira and Kali.

"WHAT!?" Emerald screamed as her ears shot upwards and her eyes shrank.

"This is my own fault. The Faunus species were dwindling due to the civil war between the Faunus courtesy of the White Fang. The brothers cause this effect on random people, but I guess we should've told them to have it happen while they slept or make it painless." Blake finished.

Emerald was processing all that has happened and what is happening. It got the best of her and her eyes rolled up and passed out.

"Yeah I kinda saw this coming." Ash said as she adjusted Emerald onto her bed so she was more comfortable. He and Blake stayed with her until she eventually came around. "Feeling any better?" He asked.

"I guess that explain everything." Emerald said while sitting back up.

"Tell you what Emerald, why don't me, Ruby and Velvet help you adjust seeing as you are now a Faunus? Velvet would be more than happy to tell you a few things that'll help you adjusting easier." Blake suggested to her.

"That would be wonderful. But first, Ash…you won't think differently of me would you?" Emerald asked as she held Ash's shoulders and looked deep into his eyes.

"Of course I won't. Faunus, human, as long as you're still you, I'll still love you no matter what." Ash ensured her while holding her thigh.

"Ash…" Emerald whispered before pulling him into a kiss. Just then, something mentally hit her. She smashed her lips onto Ash's upper neck and began sucking and teething it. After a bit, she pulled away, leaving her mark. "Sorry, something told me to do it." Emerald said with a bit of shame in her voice.

"That's normal Emerald. You just bared your mark on your mate. Come on, let's go." Blake said as she pulled her up and took her to the others.

With Emerald's life forever changed into a Faunus, Ash knew that there was more to this new chapter's tale than meets the eye. The wedding was successful, and he soon enough had to do this several more times. But for now, he had things to take care of. The time has come to see what new challenges await him and his growing family. As for what is to come to the future, well only time will tell.

Alright! Another chapter down. Up next will be the epilogue. I do not know if this will be single or a double part. But no matter, the main story will be reaching its end at long last. Hard to believe that it's been less than four years since I've started this story. But now, I'm actually getting a little upset that it's ending. Thank you all so much for reading as always. You've all have been a tremendous help to me over the years. We're still not done yet, but it will be an ending that none of us will forget. TheD-Rock900 is signing off. See you guys next time for the epilogue.
