A/N: Ok, my update took a little longer than I anticipated. And I cant believe no-one noticed I accidentally left out Max. Well, I've got nothing more to say really, so lets go!
The Wedding Of The Year. Chapter 2, Going home.
"Come on Brock, get up!" Ash complained to his best man.
"Yeah, yeah, Ash, alright, where are we anyway?" he asked.
"That's what makes it worse Brock, I don't know".
"Oh. But, still it was a great party, right Ash?" Brock said, trying to get back in his friends good-book. Ash blamed him for getting them lost, partly because he organised the party, partly because there was nobody else around.
"Yeah, it was so great, I think I'll let you organise all my party's from now on" he said sarcastically.
"Really?" Brock asked excitedly.
"And people call me dense…" Ash muttered. "Anyway, we gotta get moving, we need to find out where we are and-" he began, but was cut off by what was clearly the sound of flames followed by a familiar roar. They slowly turned around, and what Ash saw made him happier than he had been since he'd met Brock the day before.
"Ash! Its the Charicific Valley!" Brock cried, followed by "Lisa!" because just then Lisa appeared riding Charla, clearly thinking they were poachers.
"Hey! What are you two- Ash! Brock! Hey! Long time no see! Whoa, you guys have changed!" she "greeted".
"Yeah, that usually happens to teenagers in a space of six years" Ash joked.
"Lisa, your as lovely as ever-" Brock began, but Ash stopped him by saying "Not now, Brock" and hitting him over the head.
"So, what brings you two here, hey, aren't you supposed to be getting married tomorrow, Ash?" she asked.
"Yeah, but somehow" he said shooting Brock a glare, "We ended up here".
"So, in the space of-".
"11 hours".
"11 hours" she repeated. "You've not only ended up in a different country, but one of the hardest places in the world to find?".
"Exactly" he answered.
"And, how do you plan to get back?" she asked with an annoying look in her eye.
"Umm-" he said, causing Lisa to sigh, and whistle, causing Ash and Brock to look confused, before they heard a rush of wind behind them and they turned.
"Charizard! Hey, buddy, how've you been? Good to see ya!".
"Hey Charizard, Ash needs a ride home, think you can help him?" to which Charizard replied with a roar and a nod.
"Thanks Lisa, Charizard, hey we better get going!".
"Right, see ya, guys!" Lisa said, as Ash and Brock climbed on the beast.
"Bye!" they both called back.
Thanks to Charizard's training, it wasn't long before they were nearing the ocean. That's where they met there first obstacle.
"Hey you, the guy on the Charizard!". Ash, realizing they must mean him or Brock, Ash turned his head, and halted Charizard to see people he hoped he would never have to deal with again. Two people wearing black uniforms with a red "R" on the front.
Team Rocket.
However, not the Team Rocket we all know, Ash knew that they had quit long ago, though they did look startlingly like them.
"Aint you the indigo champion?" one of them asked thickly.
"Yeah" Ash said, defensively and angrily. "So what?".
"Well" the smaller and clearly smarter one said, drawing a pokeball. "If your the league champ' then your pokemon must be pretty strong, so we'll be taking your Charizard! Go, Onix!"
"Go, Mantine!" her partner added.
"Great" Ash said sarcastically, and turning to Brock added "What n-", but saw him already getting off Charizard.
"Go, Ash, you haven't got time to hang around!" he yelled, and turning to the rockets sarcastically added "Sorry guys, the champions a little busy right now, but I'm sure that I'm more than good enough for you, Go Swampert, go Ludicolo!".
Before the rockets noticed anything, Ash had already begun to speed across the ocean, and was surprised at how much Charizard's speed had improved.
"Great, Charizard, at this rate we'll be there in no time, but-" Ash said, anxiously. "Do you even know where we're going?" he finished. Charizard gave its peculiar roar(A/N: Ooh! Peculiar's another fun word! Maybe I'll add that to my penname…), and a thumbs-up.
"That's good to-" he began, but interrupted, yet again, this time by a ringing.
"Huh! I've got my pokenav!" he cried, exasperated, and answering it. "Hello?".
"Uh, hello, is this Ash Ketchum?" an unfamiliar voice asked.
"Yes, who is this?".
"I'm with the pokemon transport company you hired, I'm afraid we have a little problem".
"Great" Ash sighed, rubbing his temple. "Isn't my girlfriend there?".
"No, I'm afraid nobody's home, which, I assumed, is why we were hired.
"Okay, I'll be there as soon as I can. Goodbye" he sighed, hanging up. This would mean he'd have to go back to the house in Viridian, before going on to the church in Cerulean, which he had planned on going straight to. This was not his day. He was also confused as to why Misty wasn't home at this time on the day before her wedding as well. He couldn't use his pokenav either, because he had lost the signal, he did however have a watch now, so he saw it was nearing midnight, and the wedding was at 12 o'clock.
As land was nearing, Ash started recognising some sights. Then when a signpost came into view, he let out a cry of joy.
Pallet Beach- hosting a sandcastle competition on July 31st starting at 1pm.
"Alright, a sandcastle competition! I'll beat all those chumps, wait- ah, man, its tomorrow- wait! Pallet! Ok Charizard, lets go to Mom's place! Hope she's still up…"
A/N: Well, that was originally gonna be the ending, but its late, and I reckon its long enough. I'd quickly like to ask for reviews from ALL of you, yes you too! Bye for now!
