C. Cowboy: this is it, people; the day of the big wedding is here! But the question is, will Ash and Misty have a fairy tale ending, or will someone or something stand in their way? Plus the Dark Herald's Identity will be reveled in this one. Well I've talked enough.
Chapter 11: Dreams or Nightmares
Mew and a group of unown teleported into the negative world that Destroyah called his home, and looked around for the monster. All right, Destroyah! Where are you? Mew said into the darkness, but got no response. I won't let you win; I'll stop you here and now! He said raising his power to the max. They then narrowed his eyes and saw a large temple in the distance, and teleported to just outside it.
Mew and his group slowly flew inside, and made his way to the very center of the temple. There on the table Destroyah's body laid. It showed no signs of life, if it wasn't for very shallow breathing, he would be obviously dead. No Mew said, He's already in the real world. I must warn the chosen ones. If it isn't already too late.
Meanwhile…
The large church was beginning to fill with Ash and Misty's friends and family. Seemed like everyone that Ash and Misty meet on their journey was able to make it. Ash, Brock, Tracy, and Jimmy were beginning to prepare in their dressing room, "Never thought this day would happen, and with Misty of all people!" Ash said battling with his tie. "What are you talking about Ash?" Tracy said adjusting his jacket, "Yeah, Ash," Brock said, "We've been seeing this coming for along time now! And Tracy take off that damn bandana." Ash blushed slightly, "We were that obvious?" they both then answered in unison, "YES!" Jimmy was barely containing his laughter, "Sounds like you had quite a journey, Ash." Ash began to open his mouth, but Brock cut him off, "OH! The stories I could tell!" Ash elbowed him hard in the ribs, and scowled at him, "You realize because of that crack, you'll be the first place I come to when ever Misty kicks me out."
Meanwhile in Misty's dressing room Melody, Mrs. Ketchum, Duplica, and Sayuri were desperately trying to keep Misty from having a nervous breakdown. "I AM NOT NERVOUS! WHY WOULD I BE NERVOUS? OH WAIT, MAYBE IT'S BECAUSE I'M ABOUT TO GET MARRIED!!!!!!!" Misty yelled, causing everyone but Mrs. K to back away. Mrs. Ketchum had known Misty for along time and knew how to calm her down, but before Mrs. Ketchum could speak up, Star walked in, causing Misty to shriek, turn away, and start muttering "happy thoughts, happy thoughts, happy thoughts…" The three others looked at each other, "What's up with that?" Star blushed, "Oh…. N-nothing! Heehee." "sure, Star, what ever you say." Sayuri said as they heard a knock on the door. Sayuri came back, "Um, Misty, I hate to sound rushy but… Heehee you've got ten minutes."
Outside in the main hall, Pikachu and Togetic stood guard. 'All right, keep an eye out for you-know-who.' Pikachu said rolling his eyes looking for signs of trouble, yeah I know, Dark Empire. Togetic said unhappily. 'No I was talking about Crystal, I'd be willing to bet my ketchup bottle that she'll show up. And what's wrong little girl?' Pikachu said concerned, oh nothing, Unka Pika, just Mom didn't let me come to the party last night, said I was still too young. Pikachu blushed and thought about Totadile's now catatonic state, 'Heehee maybe it was for the best, it got kindda rough last night.' Togetic gave him a strange look and then shrugged it off and continued to watch for trouble.
Music began to play and everyone took their seats, and Togetic and Pikachu at the door. Duplica, Star, and Sayuri were Misty's Bride maids, and Mrs. Ketchum was her maid of honor. And beside Ash was Jimmy, Brock, and Tracy (Don't remember their specific titles, so sue me) then as "here comes the bride" began Misty slowly steeped out, with her arm around Red's arm. At the sight of Misty in her dress, made Ash's jaw drop, Brock, Tracy, and Jimmy chuckled, while Jimmy used his powers to hold Ash's jaw up. Misty walked up to Ash's side smiled and winked at him, Ash felt like he would pass out, but then the strange pain returned to the back of his head.
In the rafters of the church, Mew teleported and looked down at the soon to be wedded couple. There they are. Mew said, No point in interrupting the wedding. Then his blue eyes widened, NO! H-he's here somewhere! But who is he hiding in?
The priest then spoke up, "Friends, We are gathered here to witness the union of Adrian Ashley Ketchum and Misty Kasumi Waterflower. They have come to unite in holy matrimony, if there is anyone with objections to this union, speak now, or forever hold your peace." In the back Pikachu and Togetic powered up, if Crystal showed up, she'd be down in a fraction of a second. "Seeing none, we shall proceed, Misty do you take Ash, to be your lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold, till death do you part?" Misty looked at Ash, took a deep breath "I do." Ash smiled but his head continued to throb more and more by the second, "Ash do you take Misty to be you lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold, till death do you part?"
"I…I…" Ash then grabbed his forehead, covering his eyes with his hands, and almost went to his knees, "Ash?" Misty asked worriedly, while Mew watched in fear form the rafters, Please, no. Not him, please. "I… I-I…" Ash continued. Then he stood up as if nothing was wrong, his hands down to his side and his eyes closed. "I…I…" Misty and the whole church watched and listened closely, when an evil smirk crossed Ash's face, his eyes opened and Misty froze in fear, they were bright crimson, "No. No I don't." Ash then looked up directly at Mew, "Come here old friend." He then pointed his hand directly at him, and blasted him with an energy blast, causing him to fall to the ground.
Mew then fought back to his feet and glared at Ash, Ash! Fight him, you're stronger then this! Ash then let out an evil laugh, and blasted Mew again, causing him to bounce against the back wall, Pikachu then powered up to full power, and stood in front of Mew, 'Ash? What's happened to you???' Ash just laughed and sent a blast at him, Pikachu sent an ultrashock to meet it, but the blast passed through it like it was nothing and sent Pikachu through the back wall.
"Ash! Stop it! Please! Why are you doing this, what's happened to you?" Misty pleaded almost in tears. Ash just laughed and aimed his hand toward her; "I want to be the best, and by any means necessary." Then energy began to form in his hand, "And I won't let anyone stand in my way. Not even you."
To Be Continued…
C. Cowboy: well, the Dark Herald is none other then Ash himself, his and Misty's wedding has pretty much been shot to heck, and if that isn't a cliffhanger, I don't know what one is! Well if all goes well tomorrow morning expect another chapter before the end of the week, buh bye till then!
