I don't believe that this fic is over a year old. Wow, time flies doesn't it?
Anyway, this is the epilogue for "The Hidden League". Will there be a sequel? The chances are
slim to none. I didn't get enough response for this fic and I don't really have the time for
it. I have a huge amount of other fics to do. Will I ever write another Pokemon-related fic?
Time will tell.
I don't own anything but the plot and my report card with the QPA of 4.15.

The Epilogue to "The Hidden League"
'Everything Together'
~~
Misty released a deep sigh as she watched her niece meditate. It had been four long months
since the demise of Team Rocket. The old governments that stood before Giovanni took them down
were re-establishing themselves. Towns and cities were being rebuilt. Even the old gyms were
being restored.
Misty was back in Cerulean City, staying at the Pokemon Center that had recently been rebuilt.
The league of trainers that crushed Team Rocket had all gone back to their hometowns. Ash was
going to stay in Cerulean with Misty, but he was currently in Lavender Town. He was with Brock
for the week, helping the small town to rebuild their Pokemon Center.
The Cerulean City gym was going to be finished before the week was over. Only little menial
chores, like moving most furniture in and painting two of the rooms would be left. From the
blueprint that had been drawn, Rose had already picked out her room and Ash and Misty had picked
out theirs. Ash and Misty's room would be theirs as the two recently announced their
engagement.
"Rose, it's time to call it quits for the day." Misty said.
Rose carefully brought herself out of the mediation. "Aunt Misty, you promised me after the gym
was finished you tell me my past. I turned nine last week. I'm mature enough to handle it and
the gym will be finished soon."
Misty looked at her niece. "I did promise you, didn't I?"
Rose nodded. "Yes you did."
Misty smiled and gently began to tell the tale.
~~
Ash wiped the sweat from his forehead as he applied another coating of paint on the Pokemon
Center. He had three more days in Lavender Town before he could go back to Cerulean and be
with his fiancée. The ring she wore was nothing fancy, but the ring was his ring and she
didn't care.
"Day dreaming about your fiancée again Ash?" Brock asked teasingly.
"Yeah. I'm also starting to wonder if Misty would mind eloping instead of the more traditional
wedding. You know, I'm still surprised that Eric and Sabrina eloped. I would have never
imagined those two. Now, Cory and Erika, that's a different story." Ash said.
"You have a point, but Cory and Erika are being really cautious with each other. Have you heard
what they plan on doing with their gyms?" Brock asked.
"Yeah, Misty mentioned it before I left. Eric is giving the gym to his younger sister, Janine.
He's going to live with Sabrina. He didn't want her to give up the gym, especially since she's
an only child. I'm pretty sure that Cory is giving the gym to his brother, Brad, and moving in
with Erika. On the other hand, Erika might give the gym to her cousin Maria and live with Cory.
Or both of them might give up their gyms and go live as hermits in the mountains by Cerulean.
Misty wasn't sure." Ash replied.
"What about you, Ash? I hear they're rebuilding Pallet Town." Brock asked.
Ash sighed as he dipped his paintbrush into a can of white paint. "I'm living in Cerulean with
Misty. No one I really remember lives in Pallet anymore. Mom and Professor Oak are both dead.
Gary might be living there, but we're on the worst terms you could think of. Besides, I don't
think Misty wants to drag Rose out Cerulean now that she's finally back in Cerulean."
Brock nodded and smiled as he finished the second coat.
~~
Ash smiled as he entered Cerulean City. Even though it had only been a week, the city looked
wonderful. A few of the houses that were almost finished had been completed and most of the
rubble was gone. Ash stopped at the Cerulean City gym and smiled as the workers finished
cleaning up their work tools. Rose and Daisy were playing water frisbee, a trick Rose had
recently learned. Rose had learned from Misty how to make a frisbee from water, and part of
Rose's training was to see how long she could keep the frisbee from 'collapsing'. As Rose's
training in water powers grew stronger, the electric power in her blood was slowly fading away.
Ash wandered over towards Misty who was signing a piece of paper. She thanked the construction
worker and waved as he and his crew left.
Ash hugged Misty and then kissed her. "Did you miss me?"
Misty smiled. "A little. The gym is finished and Rose knows all of her past now."
"Have you gone into the gym yet?" Ash asked softly.
Misty shook her head no. "I was waiting for you to get here."
"Well, I'm here, so let's check it out!" Ash said carefully as he draped an arm around Misty.
"Okay, but we still need to paint two of the rooms and the furniture needs moved in. Erika and
Cory are coming over for a few days to help us. Most of our belongings are still at the
Pokemon Center." Misty said, and then called Rose and Daisy over.
"Are we going into the gym now, Aunt Misty?" Rose asked gently.
Misty nodded and gently opened the door.
~~
The smell of fresh pine greeted the small 'family'. Misty smiled as she saw the gym. The
original blueprints from the gym had been found. They were combined with a few new ideas and a
few new rooms. The completed gym had six bedrooms, a large dining room, a kitchen, two family
rooms, and the large, spacious pool for battling.
"I love it!" Rose said as she entered her bedroom. Her room had already been painted a light
pink.
Misty smiled. She and Ash left the girl and her dog as they went into their room. This room
still needed to be painted still as the two hadn't decided on a color before Ash left.
"You know, we need to set a date for our wedding because I'm not sleeping with you until we're
married." Misty said, a laugh hidden in her eyes.
Ash blushed. "My 18th birthday isn't for a few more weeks, and I need to be a legal adult before
we can get married."
Misty smiled. "True. How about a July wedding? It's March right now, and you'll be eighteen
by then and I'll be nineteen."
Ash nodded. "How about July 18th? I think it's a Saturday."
Misty smiled and nodded when she heard Daisy bark. "I think that's the furniture company
dropping off al of the furniture. Either that or Erika and Cory are here."
~~
It was both. The furniture was sent to the storage rooms on the floor it was supposed to be
in. Over the next week, the trainers would place the furniture where it belonged.
"Looks like we'll spend the night in Center and tomorrow start work. Rose, Erika, and I, with
some help from our Pokemon, will work on painting the remaining rooms. We'll leave you big,
strong, men to place the furniture in the rooms. Let me know when you get the pieces to the
room so I can show you were to put them." Misty said, her eyes glowing in pure happiness.
Ash smiled. 'If I could keep her this happy everyday for the rest of our lives, I'll die a happy
man.'
~~
Misty and Erika smiled as the guys moved the last piece of furniture into Misty's room. Misty
and Ash had single rooms as it had been decided that the two wouldn't share 'their' room until
after the wedding.
"We're finally finished. Have you two decided on a date for your wedding yet?" Erika asked.
"July 18th. I want a wedding in a field of wildflowers with our closest friends." Misty said.
"Aww!" Erika cooed.
A knock on the door startled the happy group.
"I wonder who that could be. Daisy is in Rose's room, taking a nap with her." Misty said as
she stood up and answered the door.
A man in a black suit stood at the door. "Are you Misty Waterflower?"
Misty nodded. "Yes I am."
"These papers are for you. I'll be back in ten minutes to collect them."
Misty blinked as she settled herself back on the couch. Ash wrapped an arm around her waist as
she read the letter. "It's from Rose's father. He's transferring full custody of Rose over to
me. He doesn't want any visiting rights; he doesn't want anything to do with Rose. My niece
legally belongs to me as soon as I sign this paper."
Cory blinked. "He's giving you Rose just like that?"
Misty nodded. "Just like that."
Ash handed Misty a pen from the end table next to him and she kneeled at the coffee table and
signed her name on the paper. When the guy reappeared he took the papers, nodded his goodbye,
and left.
"What an odd character." Erika muttered.
~~
Misty couldn't believe it. Today was her wedding day! After today, she would always belong to
Ash and he would belong to her. Rose was now under full custody of Misty, and Ash was going to
sign the papers also, allowing him custody of Rose if something was to happen to Misty.
"Aunt Misty, Erika and Sabrina are here to help you finish getting ready." Rose said as she
slipped on her dress shoes.
Misty smiled as her two friends walked in to the room, arguing like they normally did. Misty
slipped on her long, white wedding dress. Erika touched up Misty's nails while Sabrina did
Misty's makeup.
"What's married life like?" Misty asked as Sabrina placed Misty's veil on her head.
Sabrina blushed. "It's great."
Erika nodded. "I still don't believe you talked Ash into your wildflower wedding."
Misty laughed. "I told him that this is my wedding and if I can't have the one I want then I'm
not marrying him."
Erika laughed but then she heard the piano playing. "Time to get moving. You're getting
married in less then 20 minutes."
Misty nodded and quickly stood up, doing a last check. "How do I look?"
Rose gave her aunt a thumps up, Sabrina smiled, and Erika faked a wail.
"My little girl is getting married!" Erika said, wailing. Sabrina smiled and grabbed her
friend's arm, and smiling, dragged her friend out of the little building by the field where the
wedding was going to take place.
"Are you ready Rose? You're first." Misty said.
Rose looked at her aunt. "Should I call Ash 'Uncle Ash' or 'daddy'?" When Misty appeared
confused, Rose furthered her explanation. "I know you're my legal guardian. I was sitting on
the stairs when you signed the custody papers."
Misty nodded. "It's up to you. Technically, I'm still your aunt, but I'm also your surrogate
mother."
Rose looked at Misty. "Can I call you mom and Ash dad?"
Misty smiled, tears filling her eyes. "That's fine with me and I'm sure Ash will love it."
(Authoress: Goddess, this is getting sappy.)
Rose's eyes glistened before Sabrina poked her head in and told her it was time to get moving.
~~
Everyone was there. All the trainers from the 'hidden league', the friends that Ash and Misty
had met on their journey, or at least the ones not killed by Team Rocket, where sitting in the
field waiting for the wedding to begin. Both Erika and Sabrina were bridesmaids, as Misty
didn't want to have to choose one to be the maid/matron of honor. Rose was Misty's flower
girl. Brock was Ash's best man, and Eric and Cory acted the part of the ushers. Lance was
giving Misty away and Shawn was taking photographs.
Ash smiled as Rose walked down the aisle followed by Eric and Sabrina and Cory and Erika. The
pianist, a Nurse Joy from some city, changed the song to the "Wedding March" and Misty
appeared.
The only thing Ash remembered after Misty appeared was when he felt her lips on his and the
priest had announced them as "husband and wife".
As they walked down the aisle, officially married, Ash and Misty watched as those who knew them
best smiled, tears glistening in their eyes. At the end of the aisle, Ash and Misty kissed.
~~
During the reception, Misty brought up the question of what Rose was to call Ash. "She wants to
call you dad."
Ash smiled as he looked at his niece 'dancing' with Lance. He smiled at Misty and hugged her
tightly. "I would love that."
Misty smiled and kissed his cheek and the two walked over to Rose and told her the news. Rose
hugged her 'mother' and 'father' and the family began to dance together.
~~
Okay, that is the sappiest thing I have ever written and that's saying a lot.
Thanks for sticking with me over this year. I know my updates weren't regular, but I hope I
never disappointed you guys and girls (don't mind me, I'm in my feminist mode right now).
As for the future, you'll have to wait and see what I have planed.
