Epilogue



I'd never been to a double wedding before, Megan and Russel had decided to get married, or, perhaps you could say, he kind sprung the question on her on the ride back. Sabrina and I weren't there, we had elected to ride Lugia home. It was faster anyway. We got in later anyway, because we happened to run into an interesting bird that turned out to be Eamudo, and we took an extra hour to catch it, which proved tough. Still, we did arrive in time for our wedding, and we were able to dispose of the Rocket suits. We elected to take a break for our honeymoon in Puerta Vista. By 'coincidence' so did Megan and Russel. And the rest of the Mercs followed, Brian and Kim deciding to take a 'second honeymoon' and Snowflake just along for the ride.
I lay on the hot sand at the Puerta Vista beach. It was nice to feel the sun after so long in the Rocket base. Brian and Kim were off together somewhere else down the beach. Megan and Russel were walking over to where Sabrina and I lay, sunning ourselves, in the sand.
"Hey, you guys wanna take the water pokemon down to the water and give 'em a break?"
"Sure, let's go," I said, pulling out my Water pokeballs. We walked down and released them all, which amounted to 2 Gyarados, a Seaking, a Kingudora, Kingler, an Oodairu, and my Lugia, which, beacuse of its type mix, had water traits, and was an excellent swimmer. Megan and Russel climbed onto his Kingudora, and Sabrina and got onto Lugia. We had decided to give the pokemon a workout on the form of a race. At the word 'go' we took off into the waves. Water zipped by, and cool sprays washed over us. The sun shone like a giant shining electrode in the sky. It was perfect, almost. I kissed my fiance... er, wife. Now it was perfect. I hoped it would stay that way, forever.
Dinner was at a nice little outdoor Sushi restaurant with a island theme. It was part of a larger restaurant. There had been a sign out front that said 'Sushi in Rear.' Upon seeing this Brain had said, "Well, they go trying to put sushi in my rear, I'm gonna sic Mr. Mime on 'em." Everyone laughed. Snowflake, who had not been at the beach, but had gone shopping for souveniers, joined us, but remembered he had left his wallet at a store downtown, and had to run, very fast.
"Good tuna, delicious," Kim said, ordering another helping. Good thing the League was paying for this. The tuna was almost 100 pokeyen each. Poor Ash, I could see his face when the bill came for 13,286,872 dollars, and 33 cents, in tuna only. It was almost perfect. I got a bowl of Tofu, too, and whipped oout my chopsticks. Good stuff, pity they didn't cook it exactly right, and it tasted like cardboard. I gave it to Pikachu, he'd eat anything. Lugia and the other birds flew high above, skimming the water, flying high, and dropping to skim again. Six legenary birds, Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres, Lugia, Hoh-oh, and Eamudo. It was like something out of really well written fan fiction, or something.
We said our goodnights, and retired to our room, where we ended up playing pokemon cards all night. Pikachu beat me, and Sabrina, alone, and then when we played a hand together. Damn rat! Now I owed the thing 1200 Pokeyen. Charge it to Ash! I recalled Pikachu. Hey look, we got a really spacious room, with a king size bed, a beautiful view, complimentary fruit, and we also got a shower about a foot and a half square and no shampoo.
"I love hotels, don't you?" I asked Sabrina.
"Yeah, me too. And if you flush the toilet the shower turns on. I love this place, remind me not to leave a tip."
"I't's not that bad," I said. I kissed her. She lay back on the bed. At least david was safely far away at the Ranch. He wsn't going to get in the way, not on my honeymoon. I lay down next to her and kissed her again. My Masterdex beeped. It auto-opened. David's face flashed up on the screen.
"Hello, love birds... Oh, is this a bad time?"
"How about, yeah," I said, hanging up on him.
"Funny how he always happens to arrive or call when we're about to.." I silenced her with a kiss.
"Don't worry," he won't call again. If he does we may have my Mr. Mime give him some Sushi in Rear. She laughed. I ran my hands down her back, and unbuttoned her jacket.
"I learned, see. I don't have to ask where the buttons are any more." She laughed again.

I lay, awake, later. Sabrina, also, awake, lay next to me, my arms around her waist. We were chatting telepathically. Then I heard something in the room next to ours. Megan's voice, "That was great. I like kinky, but why quiche l'orange?" Sabrina turned over in my arms, and looked at me, one eyebrow cocked inquisitively.
"I don't know, and I don't want to," I said.
"Nor I." I kissed her again. She put her head down and fell asleep. A perfect end to a near perfect day. And, if anyone has seen Snowflake's wallet, please give it back, or I'll have to fireball you.
