At Last! This is the final chapter of Pokemon : Star Wars Crossover! I hope everyone has enjoyed the ride and please, remember to comment your thoughts, and share it with your friends as I really enjoyed making this fanfiction, and look forward to making the next one in the near future! With that said, let's get on with the show! A/N I do not claim any ownership of the two series portrayed in this fanfiction!
Seven months have passed since the battle between Ash and General Grievous on Felucia. During that time, Ash had been granted the title of Jedi Master, making him the youngest Master in history, while Misty was given the rank of Knight. Brock still needed more lightsaber training before given any chance of joining any battles on the ground, though he had participated in several space fights with the aid of Captian Rex and Fives by his side.
Ash and Misty were sparring with their newly designed training lightsabers to keep their skills in top condition. When they weren't training, they would go on dates and relax in the Jedi common room. Brock had asked Mace Windu to be his mentor whenever Ash would be selected to go on missions.
One day, Misty was walking to the library when she met up with Ash's old friend, Cena, the one who revealed Ash's real past. "Cena. How've you been? It's been awhile since I saw you." Misty said as she sat next to her new friend. "I've been alright I suppose. I was just told that I'm going to Bespin in the Anoat system. There's a mining colony there that is in need of protection from the Separatists so I'm going to be leaving in a few minutes." Cena said.
"I see. Well, I wish you good luck Cena." Misty said with a big smile on her face. "Thanks Misty, but Obi-wan said that in our experience, there's no such thing as luck." Cena replied. Misty giggled hearing this, because she'd gotten to know Obi-wan on a personal level and understood why Ash bonded with him so well. "Well, I'd offer to go with you, but Ash said that I can only go on missions with him unless ordered otherwise by the Council." she said.
"Nah it's cool. I can handle a simple mission like this. It's more of a security mission than anything. Personally speaking, I've never had a stomach for battle. I don't mind fighting, but I don't really like doing it. So whenever I get a recon, or security mission I jump on it." Cena explained.
Misty was about to reply when her comlink beeped. "This is Misty, go ahead." "Misty, it's Ash. I need you to report to the Council Chamber immediately." "Roger that. I'll be there shortly. I gotta go Cena. May the force be with you." she said to Cena as she bowed, and left.
Once Misty walked into the Council Chamber, she saw Ash, Obi-wan, Mace,Yoda and the rest of the Council, all sitting in their seats. She bowed to the Council before asking, "What's going on?" "Misty, we've received word that Earth is Grievous' next target, so we're sending you, Master Ketchum and Brock there with the 501st to cut him off, and protect your homeworld." Obi-wan explained to her.
"What?! Why would he target Earth?" Misty asked. "Grievous sent us a message that he wanted to start eliminating humans so he wanted to start with the least likely target, being Earth before ultimately wiping out our entire race." Ash explained. "Stopped, he must be. Save your home, you must. On you the fate of Earth depends." Yoda told her. "You and Ash are to depart for Earth immediately. Take my Cruiser, it's the largest in the fleet and carries the most firepower. May the Force be with both of you." Obi-wan said.
Ash and Misty bowed to the Council before leaving the Chamber and heading to get Brock. They found him in the library studying sword styles. "Brock, get up. You've been selected by the Council to aide Misty and myself on a mission to Earth. Grievous has targeted our home, and we must go there to cut him off and stop him." Ash commanded.
"Wait, what?! Earth is in danger?!" Brock exclaimed. "There's no time to explain Brock, get your gear, we're heading to Obi-wan's Cruiser and taking off to Earth." Ash commanded again. Brock shut off his holobook and followed his friends to the Ship Yard behind the Temple. Brock was stopped by Mace Windu before he could get on the ship.
"Brock my boy, even though you're not a Jedi, I've had the honor of calling you my best student. I took the liberty of having your armor custom made to resemble the emblem of your gym from your home. Wear it proud on your battle against Grievous. May the Force be with you." Mace said as he handed Brock the armor before bowing.
Brock bowed in return. "Thank you Master Windu. I'll make you and Ash proud. He taught me well, so I should be good. See you soon Master." he said as he got on the ship as the last clones were getting on. Soon, the ship took off, and after several minutes was in orbit above Coruscant.
Brock went to the bridge where he saw Ash at the helm, Misty sitting beside him. "Take your seat Brock. You're going to be my co-pilot until we get there." Ash told him. "Yes Master." Brock took his seat to Ash's right, and soon, the entire fleet had jumped into hyperspace towards Earth.
"Brock, I need you to handle flying while I make a call to my mom. She has a message projector that my dad gave to her and Professor Oak. I'm going to warn them." he told Brock as he went to the projection room. Misty followed him because she wanted to try to warn her sisters.
They got to the projection room and Ash activated it, trying to get his mother's attention. "What's going on dear? Is everything alright?" Delia asked her son. "Mom, I need you to forward this transmission to Professor Oak. It's highly imperative that you do." Ash commanded his mother.
Delia, having a bad feeling something serious was going on, pressed the forward button and Ash and Misty saw the Professor in the image as well as Delia. "Ash, Misty, what's going on? I was in the middle of some very important research regarding some newly discovered Pokemon." Oak said.
"Listen Professor, Mom. Earth is in grave danger. General Grievous has targeted Earth and is going to try to eliminate our entire race, so I need you to get as many government officials throughout the world to order world-wide shelter. Get Misty's sisters and Brock's family to the house as soon as you can. We're in hyperspace heading to Earth as we speak to try and cut Grievous off." Ash explained.
Delia and Oak gasped at the shocking news. "Ash do you realize what you're asking me to do here?! You're asking an awful lot of me to get world leaders to listen to me!" Oak screamed. "I realize that Professor, but we don't have time to argue here. Get as many of the World Leaders to listen to you as possible, get all military ready for possible planetary invasion. The war is reaching our home. We need to defend it." Ash said in as calm a voice as Delia had ever heard her son use.
"Your father spoke like that the last time he sent me a message before facing off against Grievous. Sam, we need to listen to him. Ash knows the burden we have, but he is asking for us to help him so that there is no innocent blood spilled." Delia said.
"But do you know how hard it's going to be for me to get the U.N. to listen to me and not think I'm a nutcase?" Oak asked. "SAMUEL OAK THIS IS AN ORDER FROM JEDI MASTER ASH KETCHUM! I DON'T CARE HOW YOU DO IT, JUST WARN THE U.N. WHATEVER YOU HAVE TO DO!" Ash yelled, which took Misty and Delia by surprise.
"Mom, call Misty's sisters. Get them to the house and then call Brock's family. Get Gary to bring them there. Do whatever you have to do. We've projected that Grievous will reach Earth in a week, so make sure you get to safety as soon as you all can. I have to go. I love you mom. May the Force be with you all." Ash said as he turned the projector off.
"Ash, are you alright sweetie?" Misty asked. "No, I'm not Misty. Our home is the target of the most dangerous war criminal in the history of the Republic and we are burdened with the task of protecting it. You, Brock, and I are Earth's only hope of survival from Grievous' forces. Since it's going to take us nearly a week to get there, even with our engines at full speed, the three of us need to bust our asses training until we engage his fleet." Ash said as he and Misty headed back to the bridge.
Once they got there, Ash ordered Captain Rex to take over the ship's controls so that he can take Misty and Brock to the sparring room to push themselves to the limit. For days, Ash pushed Misty and Brock to their breaking points training them as hard as he could.
"Ash, we need to take a break, I can't go anymore. I'm exhausted." Brock said out of breath. "Brock, you do realize that during our battle against Grievous you won't get a break yes? Do you think he's gonna command his army to stop in the middle of the battle so you can get your breath? NO! He's gonna chew you up and spit you out until you're nothing but space dust! Now, Misty, go again! Teach Brock what happens when a Jedi takes a break when fighting an enemy."
"Yes Master!" Misty and Brock sparred the entire day until Brock was finished. He passed out from exhaustion, and Misty took to healing him. "Good job Misty. You fought well my love." Ash said, but he lacked all emotion when he said it, which didn't go unnoticed by Misty. She didn't question why he sounded like that. She knew why. His mind wasn't on what was happening in front of him. He was preoccupied with thoughts of the upcoming battle to save their home planet.
She couldn't get those thoughts out of her mind either. But she decided that she had to do what Ash taught her, and cleared her mind of all thoughts except to heal Brock. They all went to the sleeping area to rest while they could.
The next day, Ash, Misty and Brock had just gotten to the bridge when Captain Rex announced that they were about to arrive at Earth. "Brock take the helm. Misty you're with me. Rex, gather your men and get to your ships. This is it men!" Ash commanded.
Ash and Misty had gotten to their ship, which Obi-wan had built when Ash became Jedi Master. "Alright Misty, this is it. Get ready cuz space fights are worse than any lightsaber duel you could ever take part in. I'm gonna need you to focus and be my co-pilot and man the guns alright?" he said to her.
"I'll do my best Master. You can count on me!" Misty replied with a confident smile on her face. "General, We've just arrived. Grievous' fleet is right behind us!" Rex said over comlink. "Alright men. Time to deploy, take defensive positions around the planet! All Crusiers set a blockade over the surface and make absolutely certain that nothing gets through!" Ash ordered.
As soon as Ash and the 501st deployed their fighters, they were engaged by CIS fighters from all directions. Ash flew his fighter while Misty took to aiming and shooting the guns at any fighters that come into her range.
"R2! I just lost my rear deflector see if you can get it back up hurry!" Ash ordered R2-D2. R2 did as he was ordered, avoiding all blaster fire he could. "Master, I'm having a hard time getting a good shot with most of the targets! Get me in closer range!" Misty yelled.
"Roger that Misty." Ash replied as he took different flight patterns. The battle seemed to only intensify as it raged on over the planet. Ash and Misty had several close calls, but Misty never missed a target once she got the hang of using the guns.
Meanwhile, on Earth, Ash's mother Delia, Professor Oak, Gary, Brock's family and Misty's sisters were all huddled in a shelter deep below Oak's lab. All the Pokemon were sheltered as well. "Like, what are we gonna do if they land you guys? I like, totally can't fight." Lily said. "Lily if they land and try to kill us, you will fight with everything you have! Our younger sister is in space fighting a war that we never even knew was going on and you wanna sit here and complain?" Daisy the oldest sister yelled.
"She's right. Even though Ash told us all to take shelter, I think we should fight if they do land. Pallet Town is about as rural as it gets, and military help is not really an option right Grandpa?" Gary said. "Gary we will all stay put because that was Ash's orders. We can't disobey the orders of a Jedi, especially a Jedi ranked as a General." Oak said.
Back in space, aboard Grievous' flagship. "General Ketchum lives up to his father's reputation. Send in the Elite fighters. We must break through the blockade in order to invade Earth!" Grievous ordered.
"Master, I'm running low on ammo over here! I don't know how much longer I can keep this up!" Misty yelled as she kept firing away. "Conserve as mush as you can Misty. Grievous just sent his best fighters out, so you're gonna need every shot you can use for this!" Ash ordered as he began to charge towards the Elite droids' ships.
"Rex, I need some assistance over here!" Ash yelled over the comlink. "We're on our way General." Rex replied. Soon Rex and his squad of fighters joined around Ash's fighter, and they all took on the Elite Droids.
"Commander Brock, enemy fighters approaching sector 23!" a clone yelled out. "Intensify the batteries! I don't want ANYTHING to reach Earth!" Brock ordered. "Yes sir!" "Commander, we just lost Cruiser Gushia!" another clone yelled. "Intensify the batteries on all ships! We HAVE to keep this blockade from breaking!"
The battle only got worse for Ash, Misty and Brock. After almost two hours, Grievous managed to break through their blockade and was on a rapid decent to the surface of Earth starting with Japan, their home country. "NO! MEN WE GOTTA GO AFTER THEM! ALL UNITS, GO GO GO!" Ash ordered.
Ash, Misty and the entire 501st flew down towards Japan, where Ash and Misty noticed their very region was under fire. Cerulean City was being attacked, Pewter City, Brock's home town was being leveled, and Pallet Town was next. Ash was determined to not allow anymore innocent people to die so he hit the engines at full speed and rammed General Grievous' engines, causing the ship to crash just outside of Pallet Town.
Ash and Misty crashed a few blocks away from Ash's house before they got out of the ship, lightsabers drawn, and ran towards the flagship. By the time they got there, Ash's house was burning to the ground, his neighbors were being slaughtered, and many of his childhood friends were being forced to watch their parents die.
"GRIEVOUS!" Ash yelled. Grievous turned to where he heard Ash yell, only to have two of his left arms literally ripped off by Ash's bare hands. Grievous screamed in pain before he collected himself long enough to throw Ash aside. "You cannot stop me Jedi. I am going to slaughter everyone you know until you have no one left!" he said as he then stabbed Ash's first girlfriend,Chelsea.
Before Ash had a chance to do anything, Misty flew right past him, and engaged Grievous herself. Misty was enraged by what she saw because she knew that girl very well. Ash had let them meet years ago when they first came to Pallet Town from Ash's very first Pokemon League.
Ash watched as Misty fought Grievous, blow for blow, with almost no trouble what-so-ever. "How DARE you come to our home planet Grievous! You're gonna die right here, RIGHT NOW!" Misty yelled as she then cut off Grievous' top right arm.
When Grievous had fallen to his knees, Ash then noticed a huge battle raging over head, with both the 501st, and all the combined world Air Force united to fight the CIS forces. Then he turned his attention back to Misty, who was preparing to take Grievous' head, when he realized that Grievous had a bomb in his hand.
Time seemed to slow down in an instant. Ash began running with all the speed he could muster, and then he noticed all three of Misty's sisters running outside towards Misty. Ash had just grabbed Misty by the arm and threw her away as the bomb went off, sending him hurdling toward his burning house.
"ASH! NO!" Misty screamed as she saw his body landing inside the flames. Before she had a chance to get up, she felt a metal hand grab her by the throat, choking her. "Misty!" her sisters all screamed. Grievous saw them and shot a blast from his right foot, killing Violet instantly.
This enraged Misty even more, who then used the Force, and broke free of Grievous' grip, using her lightsaber to slice of all of his remaining limbs until he was nothing more than a torso lying on the ground. Just before she could deal the final blow, she felt Ash grab her arm stopping her from killing Grievous, before doing so himself using his father's lightsaber.
As soon as Grievous was killed, Ash, who's entire body was covered in blood and severe burns, issued a command to all Republic units to slaughter every droid they come across and show them no mercy because the war was finally over. He then turned to Misty and with a single look, told her how proud of her he was. Misty smiled back before turning her attention to her sisters and ran to them.
Daisy and Lily were crying over Violet's now dead body. Misty didn't cry. She kneeled down next to her sister, and closed her eyes, making her other two sisters cry even more. "Daisy, Lily, I'm so sorry I couldn't save her. I tried so hard to get free of Grievous' grip when you came running towards us. If I had been stronger, I could've saved her. Please forgive me my sisters." Misty said in a very solemn voice.
"Misty, we don't blame you. Violet was the one who saw you fighting that hideous thing and took off. We tried to stop her, but she wouldn't listen to us." Daisy said through her tears. Ash then advised everyone to get back inside until the battle was over. The battle over Earth continued overnight until all droid ships were finally destroyed.
Ash then contacted Rex, and ordered him to return all fighters to space and to report to what's left of his house afterwards. When the Sun started to rise, that's when the extent of the death and damage was visible. All the residents of Pallet, Brock's family, and Misty's sisters all broke down into tears, letting out sounds of utter pain and torment. A sound that Misty knew would haunt her for the rest of her life.
"Rex, send word back to the Jedi Council. Tell them Grievous is dead, and that the war is finally over. Also, request that the Council come here to Earth personally. Those who lost their lives at the hands of Grievous should be immortalized." Ash ordered. Rex carried out his orders and a week later, the Council had arrived.
"On behalf of the Republic, and the Jedi Order, we wish to thank each and every soldier of Earth who fought valiantly against General Grievous' army. We also wish to thank the civilians who took arms against the droids and gave their lives to protect their homes and loved ones." Obi-wan stated.
"Over, the war is. Proud you should be, of Ash and Misty. Victorious they were over Grievous." Yoda chimed in. "As the youngest member of the Jedi Council, I can honestly say that I am proud to have served alongside the greatest mentors and friends in the galaxy. My girlfriend and fellow Jedi, Misty, fought with great passion and skill that nearly surpasses my own. Misty, please step forward." Ash said as he took out his lightsaber.
Misty walked over to the Council, the world watching via all the combined news broadcasters. "Kneel down Misty if you please." Ash instructed. Misty did so wondering what was about to happen. Ash ignited his lightsaber with a proud smile on his face as he placed the blade over her left shoulder. "By the powers granted to me by the Jedi Council and the Force, I Jedi Master Ash Ketchum hereby grant you Misty Waterflower, the rank of Jedi Master." he announced as he placed his lightsaber over Misty's right shoulder.
Misty was on the verge of tears when she heard this, but kept her emotions in check while her sisters cheered her on. She then stood and bowed toward Ash before walking back to her sisters and Ash's mother who stood next to Brock and his family.
"In order to properly honor those who lost their lives, whether they rose up and fought, or they were victims of Grievous' onslaught, we the members of the Jedi Council, are proud to reveal this." Obi-wan said as he, Yoda, Mace Windu, Ash and the rest of the Council used the Force to lift a tarp off of a giant statue in the shape of Pallet Town's landmark, "Shikori Cliff" with the names of all those who perished in the final battle of the war. Including all of Ash's childhood friends, their families, and Misty's sister Violet.
Misty could no longer control her emotions as she and her two sisters walked over to the memorial and they all cried as they read "Violet Marie Waterflower Born March 23rd 1987-Died August 7th 2015." Ash walked over to his beloved, and held her tight as she cried hard into his shoulder. Ash then noticed at the very top of the list of names, was his father's name. "Kyle Ash Ketchum Born June 2nd 1967-Died January 15th 2014"
A month later, the entire town had slowly begun the rebuilding process. The Republic had offered Ash's mother reimbursement for the loss of their home, which was replaced with a much larger house built by Ash, Rex, Brock and a few of the other clones under Rex's command.
Ash was standing on the new balcony that he and Rex personally built facing towards where the Sun would set when he sensed Misty walking up from behind him. "I can't believe that we were involved in such a devastating war for almost a year and now it's over." Misty said as she held onto Ash from behind.
"The war lasted nearly five years before we got involved. We lost a lot of good men and women thanks to the war. I'm personally sorry for your sister, Violet. She didn't deserve what she got." Ash said as he turned around and hugged Misty close.
"It's okay Ash. If she had been in my position, I would've done the same thing. At least her death was quick. She didn't feel the laser blast hit her in the heart so I'm thankful that it wasn't painful. I'm actually grateful Grievous made it quick." Misty replied.
"I hate him for killing her to begin with, but like I said, she didn't suffer like everyone else he killed." she finished. "I agree Misty. When my dad died, I don't think he felt his death, but from what Rex told me of the way he was blown up, it's possible he felt a little bit of it but not enough to realize." Ash said.
"Misty, now that the war is over, I'm thinking of going back to Coruscant, to spend my life in the Temple teaching younglings. I would be honored if you would join me in staying there." he offered, making Misty pull away from him.
"But Ash, don't you wanna stay with your mom and take care of her?" she asked. "Brock has offered to stay here with her and take care of her, and help with everything. Professor Oak and Gary have decided to give your sisters a temporary home with them until Cerulean is rebuilt which will take quite some time considering how leveled it was. Brock's family will be living next door in that house over there once it's finished. So everything will be fine here without me around." Ash explained.
"I'll understand if you want to stay here and be with your sisters. They need you more than ever if you decide to stay. But as for me, I'm going to live the rest of my days in the Temple. It's up to you as to what you want to do Misty." he concluded.
Misty thought hard about everything before she made her final decision. "I made my mind up, but I want to tell everyone over dinner tonight. Is that okay with you, Master?" she asked. Ash chuckled, already knowing her answer. "It's fine with me." he said.
That night everyone was sitting around the large dinner table Ash built. The seating was Ash, Misty, Brock, Delia, Professor Oak, Gary, Daisy, Lily, Rex, Fives, and Cody. After dinner, Delia stood up with a wine glass in her hand.
"I'd like to say a few words. Ash, Misty, and Brock. I want to thank you all for fighting so hard to protect our home from the threat of the Separatists and General Grievous. Ash, I know that your father would be more than proud of the way you've grown and carried on his legacy. If he were here, he'd say "Good work and keep going." she paused, trying to keep her emotions in check.
"I am so proud of you Ash. You not only fought well, but you also learned what it truly means to be the man your father wanted you to be. You took Misty as your student, and taught her everything your father taught you." she continued.
"I'd like to make a toast. To Ash, Misty, Brock, Rex, Fives and Cody. Thank you all for everything you did for the protection of our galaxy." she finished as she raised her glass. "Hear, hear!" everyone said as they raised their own glasses.
Then, Ash chose that moment to stand. "Let me be the first to say, Rex, Cody, Fives, it's been an absolute honor serving beside you three. To me, you're far more than just clones bred for battle. I am proud to say that you three are now my friends. A toast to you, and to all your brothers who died with honor." he finished as he raised his glass.
Everyone returned the gesture once more. Ash then continued. "And now, I have an announcement to make. I've decided that I am going to return to Coruscant, to live the rest of my days in the Jedi Temple, teaching younglings the way of the Force, the way my dad taught me. Mom, I love you and thank you for everything you've ever done for me. You were the one who taught me to never give up and always believe in myself. Gary, we may have been rivals since we were kids, but know that I have always held you in the highest respect. Brock, now that the war is over, I'm afraid that your title of honorary Jedi has been terminated. However, you are free to come visit me in the Temple at anytime my friend." Ash took a long pause before continuing.
"Daisy, Lily, I hope that you are proud of your sister. She's become a far better Jedi than I could've ever hoped for. She's endured many harsh battles and fought countless enemies, all while keeping you on her mind. She often spoke to me after training or even after battles, worrying about you. When we were told that Earth was targeted, her first thought was her beloved sisters. And though Violet is gone, I have a feeling that you'll all see her again someday. The Force is strong in your family after all." he finished as he raised a glass in honor of Violet.
Misty hugged her sisters as they started to cry a bit. She then stood up next to Ash and took her turn to speak. "I just want to say, that it's been an unbelievable experience. Ten months ago, Brock and I had no clue about Ash's real life. We didn't even know that there was even a war going on. But ten months later, thanks to Ash's guidance and intense training, I'm a Jedi Master, and I'm proud to say that I served to protect my home from evil. The things I've learned both on and off the battlefield is that life is not a guarantee, but the life we are given is meant to be lived as full as we can possibly go. Daisy, Lily, I make this vow before you, that I am going to live twice as full, for Violet's sake." Misty took a deep breath.
She then took out a new lightsaber, which Ash had shown her how to design, and ignited the blade, which had a deep violet color to it. "This new blade, was made in honor of our fallen sister. I offer it to you Daisy and Lily in hopes that this will always remind you of the bond the four of us shared despite the awful things we said, and did to each other growing up. Thanks to Ash's expertise in lightsaber making, I had her name engraved right here on the side." Misty finished as she deactivated the blade and handed the handle to Daisy.
Daisy took the lightsaber, and then hugged her younger sister tightly, crying into her shoulder. Lily stood up and walked over to Misty. "Misty, you've grown a lot since our parents died in that accident all those years ago. Mom and Dad would be proud of the woman you've become. I'm proud of you as well. And now that you're a Master, I have that much more respect for you than I ever did. I love you little sister, we both do." she finished.
"I love you both very much as well. And I promise, I'm going to honor my vow to both of you. Now, I also have an announcement to make. I've decided that I'm going to live with Ash on Coruscant. I'm going to take on my own Padawans and teach them everything Ash taught me. And since Ash and I are dating, we've decided that we're going to build a house together on the outskirts of the Capital." she finished. Everyone had big smiles on their faces, even her sisters.
Ash chose that moment to speak up. "Actually Misty, before we leave for Coruscant, there's something I've wanted to do for a long time." he said. "What is it Ash?" she asked. Ash then took out a small box from his robe, and kneeled down on his right knee, making all the women want to cry.
"Misty Waterflower, you've been my best friend for nearly ten years. You've never once left my side even when times got tough. You even stuck with me when you realized what I really am. You stayed when I took you on as my apprentice and nearly got you killed dozens of times, even by my own blade. I love you Misty, and I only have one question to ask you." He opened the box to reveal a ring made with the same Illum crystal that he used to make Misty's lightsaber. "Misty Waterflower, would you do this Jedi Master, the honor of becoming my wife?" he finally asked.
Misty couldn't even speak, she was so overwhelmed with emotion, she simply nodded her head with tears flowing down her cheeks. Ash stood and placed the ring on Misty's finger, before wiping her tears and kissing her on the lips. Everyone cheered for the happy couple. After they pulled away, Delia walked up to them.
"Misty, if you don't mind, I'd be honored if I could help you plan the wedding." she said with a smile on her face. Misty's sisters were practically on the verge of screaming with joy waiting for Misty's answer. "I'd be honored if you helped me Mrs. Ketchum." she finally said. "Please, call me Mom. I've always thought of you as a daughter since day one anyways." Delia replied.
Misty then turned to her sisters and asked, "Daisy, Lily, would you two like to be my brides maids?" she asked. They of course squealed with delight as they answered "YES!" Then Daisy calmed down and said, "Actually Misty, I'd like to be your maid of honor." she said.
Misty was honored to hear this. Ash asked Brock to be his best man. He of course accepted. Gary asked if he could be the ring bearer since they had no younger kids who could do it. Professor Oak said that he'd call one of his friends from his old hometown to be the Priest.
Rex then stood up and walked over to Ash and Misty. "General, um, Misty. Since you don't have a father, I was wondering if you'd allow me to walk you down the aisle?" he asked. "Wait, you'd really do that for me?" she asked. "I may be a clone, but I've known about your Earth wedding customs thanks to Commander Ketchum. I'd be honored if you'd let me walk you down the aisle." Rex said.
"I'd be honored Rex, thank you." Misty replied as she hugged him. Everyone raised their glasses for the happy couple and cheered for Ash and Misty. Soon, everyone except Ash and Misty left the house. Brock went outside to walk around Pallet.
"So Ash, since we're gonna be married, how are we going to explain this to the Council?" Misty asked while leaning her head on Ash's shoulder. "Yoda approved it a month ago when I mentioned it to him before the Council left so we're good. We just have to make sure that we keep our romantic life outside of the Temple. I am a member of the Council after all. Master Ki-Adi Mundi is the only other member of the Council that has a family of his own, and he told me of this after my proposal to the Council." Ash explained. Misty giggled at this before saying, "That's gonna be a problem since I can't keep my eyes off of you now that we've had time to actually enjoy being a couple."
A week later, the wedding was about to take place in the church of Pallet. Ash was dressed up in his tux, Brock and Cody were standing behind him, while Misty's sisters Daisy and Lily were standing opposite to them with the priest in the middle.
The priest signaled the organist to begin playing. Ash's mom was sitting in the front pew with Professor Oak next to her. Gary was sitting on the far end with the rings on his lap. Obi-wan, Mace, Mina, and Cera were sitting behind them on Ash's side.
Yoda, Ki-Adi Mundi, and Anakin were sitting on Misty's side. The organist began playing "Here comes the Bride", which was Misty's cue. The door opened to reveal Misty in a stunning white dress detailed with lace and sequins all over, the veil which covered her face was Delia's when she married Ash's father.
She was being walked down the aisle by Rex, who was wearing his uniform minus the helmet. Ash's eyes never once left Misty's as she kept walking towards the Alter. They got to the alter right as the music stopped. The priest stepped forward and began.
"Who offers this woman to this man?" he asked. Rex replied. "I do." as he let go of Misty and stepped away to take his seat next to Anakin. The priest then opened his bible and began. "Marriage. Marriage is the sacred bond that brings us together on this day. If there is anyone who has reason that these two should not be together, let them speak now, or forever hold their peace." he paused and the church remained silent.
"Very well then. The bonds of marriage are sacred and should always be honored by those who make such commitment. Marriage is about being there for your lover, supporting them and never doubting them. It's about being utterly faithful to them and them alone. Ash and Misty have written their own vows and now they shall speak." he finished as Ash took out his vows.
"Misty, it's been a heck of a ride these past few years hasn't it? When we first met, you literally caught me on a fishing hook and pulled me out of the river ultimately saving me and Pikachu from certain death. They say that there are plenty of fish in the sea, but you must have took that too literal since we're standing here right now." he read which got everyone to laugh including Misty.
He continued on. "But Misty, I can honestly say that out of all the things we've been through together, both good and bad, thick and thin, happy and even sad times, I am honored to have had such a kind, caring, beautiful, and wonderful person in my life to call my best friend. Whenever I got a big head, you were always there to smack some sense into me and when you became my apprentice, you showed the most devotion I've ever seen in anyone. I love you Misty, and I vow that I will always do whatever it takes, to make you the happiest you can be." he finished. Misty had tears in her eyes when Ash finished. As did her sisters, Cera, and even Ash's mom.
Misty wiped her tears away and took out her own vows. "Ash, I can't believe that after all this time, I finally get to be your wife. I've loved you ever since the day I met you. I want you to know that I will always be faithful to you. If there's ever a time where you need a shoulder to cry on, or someone to talk to, know that I'll always be there my love. I'll always be there to shoulder your burdens. I will never leave you or forsake you. I love you Ash Ketchum." Misty finished.
The priest then resumed his own speech for several minutes before asking. "Do we have the rings?" Gary took that as his cue and stood up and walked over to Brock who took the ring before handing it to Ash. Gary then walked over to Daisy who took Misty's ring before handing it to her.
"Ash, I want you to repeat after me as you place the ring on her finger." Ash nodded his head. "This ring is the symbol of my eternal vow and love for you, Misty. It represents the bond we share and the promise I have made to always love and cherish you til the end of time." Ash said as he slipped the ring on Misty's finger.
The priest then turned to Misty and said, "Misty, as you place the ring on his finger, repeat after me." Misty began repeating the words. "This ring is the symbol of my eternal vow and love for you, Ash. It represents the bond we share and the promise I have made to always love and cherish you til the end of time." She slipped the ring on Ash's finger before looking deep into his eyes.
The priest smiled as he said, "By the power vested in me by our Heavenly Father, and the Town of Pallet, I now pronounce you, man and wife. You may now kiss the bride." Ash didn't hesitate to kiss Misty with every ounce of passion he had in him. When they parted, they turned towards the crowd and the priest finished, "I am proud to present to you, Mr. and Mrs. Ash Ketchum!"
Everyone clapped and cheered for the newly wed couple. Even Yoda clapped his tiny green hands. That caused Obi-wan to turn to him before speaking. "This is unlike you Master. Why the sudden change?" "Happy, for them I am. Changed our laws must be. To wed, Jedi must be allowed." Yoda said as he looked at Anakin, with his ever wise face, mentally scolding him for hiding his marriage with Padme'.
FIVE YEARS LATER...
Ash had just returned from his latest mission hunting down a new Sith Lord who'd been terrorizing the Outter Rim Territories. His new apprentice, who was also his daughter, Violet, had just learned what it was like to fight in space, and fight a Sith. They were heading to their house Ash had built on the outskirts of Coruscant's Capital.
"I had so much fun on this mission Master." Violet said. Ash chuckled. "You can call me daddy now you know. Besides, your mom is the one who calls me Master." Ash replied. Violet was the age Ash was when he learned how to fight from his dad. She had Misty's hair, her eyes, but she also had Ash's determination and his knack for protecting those she cared about.
They landed behind the house where they saw Misty waiting with a baby boy in her arms. They exited the ship and Violet ran to her mom and hugged her while trying not to knock her baby brother out of her mom's arms. Misty giggled at Violet's actions. Misty was thrilled when Ash suggested they give her her dead sister's name. When she told Daisy and Lily, they burst into tears. When she gave birth to their new son, she decided to name him Kyle, after Ash's father, which made him cry like there was no tomorrow.
"How's little Kyle?" Ash asked as he approached his wife. "He's been really good. He's such a great listener unlike his father." Misty joked. Ash laughed before kissing Misty on the lips earning an "EW" from Violet. Misty leaned down and handed Kyle to Violet. "Take him to bed won't you dear? Your father and I need to talk grown-up stuff." she said to her daughter. "Okay mommy." Violet replied as she took her baby brother into the house and up stairs to their room.
Misty turned to her husband and had a serious look. "Master Skywalker called. He said that when you got back to report to the Council Chamber. While you've been gone training Violet, I've been filling in for you so they need you back there." she told him.
"Tell them I'm on my way. I hope it's nothing serious. It's been five years since we've had anything as serious as Grievous happen. I'll return when I am done. I love you." Ash said as he hugged and kissed Misty before getting back in his ship and heading towards the Temple.
Misty watched her husband fly off before heading in the house to find Violet at the foot of the stairs waiting for her. "Daddy had to go to the Temple didn't he?" Misty was always amazed at how in tune with the Force her daughter was. "Yes sweetie. The Council called earlier and said that he had to report back when you came home. But don't worry, he will be back later tonight. Come on, it's time for your bath." Misty said to her daughter. "Aw but Mom! I hate bath time!" Misty giggled as she and Violet walked to the bathroom.
Meanwhile, at the Temple, in the Council Chamber Ash had just walked in and noticed something was wrong. "What's going on? Misty told me that I was needed in the Chamber when I returned from the Outter Rim." Ash asked. "Ash, Master Yoda is dying. And we've been discussing who will take his position as the Grand Master of the Council." Obi-wan explained.
Ash had a shocked look on his face. "But, Master Yoda can't die!" "Master Yoda may be strong with the Force, but even he's not that strong. He's asked the Council to take a vote on who would take his place." Mace Windu explained. Ash couldn't think of what to say except, "Has the Council made its vote?" "We have Ash." Obi-wan said as he, Windu, and the rest of the Council all stood, and bowed to Ash. "We've voted you, to be our new Grand Master."
Ash was stunned. He couldn't process this information. "But, why me? I'm not nearly as qualified as the rest of you are. You've all been on the Council far longer than I have." "We've chosen you because Yoda had sensed your strength with the Force has greatly surpassed his. You are our new leader, Master Ash Ketchum." Windu explained.
Ash was then motioned by the Council to take Yoda's chair. He slowly walked to the chair, and after a pause, finally took his seat. He sat there for some time while the rest of the Council sat in their seats, waiting for Ash's first command.
"My first command as Grand Master, is for everyone to leave the Chamber immediately. I wish to be left alone." Ash ordered. The Council left the Chamber as he'd ordered. Ash sat there for quite awhile thinking about the last five years. He was told of his father's death, he trained Misty and Brock in the Jedi arts, he'd become Jedi Master, he killed General Grievous, and ended the war. He'd married Misty and started a family with her. And now, He's the new Grand Master of the Jedi Council.
Later that night, Ash returned to his house when Misty was just finishing up making dinner. He walked in and saw Misty using the Force to place all the plates on the table while she was adding the final touches to the dish before turning and placing it on the table in the center.
"Hi honey. What did the Council want?" Misty asked. "I'll tell you after dinner. Violet, I'm home! Come down for dinner!" Ash yelled. "Coming daddy!" Violet answered as she ran down the stairs to the kitchen. "Violet, what have I told you about running down the stairs? You know you could hurt yourself doing that." Misty scolded her daughter.
"I know mommy, I know." she answered as she sat at the table. Misty sighed knowing she'd never get through to her. Everyone sat at the table and began eating. "So, Violet told me you let her take out a pretty powerful foe during your mission." Misty brought up. "She was incredible Misty, you should've been there. She's right where I was in skill when I was her age. She fought the Sith Lord with natural ease and she was as calm as could be. I'm very proud of her." Ash said with pride in his voice.
"I see. Violet, you're more and more like your father everyday. You'll be a proper Jedi before you know it." Misty said. "Thank you mommy. I was wanting to ask you guys, is it true that mommy fought the bad guy who killed Aunt Violet?" Ash and Misty knew this day was coming. Misty was prepared to answer her daughter but Ash took over.
"It's true sweetheart. You're mother fought Grievous right until the very end. Granted I killed him myself, but your mother would've if I hadn't stopped her in time. She was letting her anger cloud her actions and her better judgement. The Dark side of the Force surrounded her heavily before I stepped in. We named you after your Aunt Violet because she was the one sister who actually stood up for your mother when they were children. Your aunt was very brave, charging head first towards your mom knowing she put herself in harm's way." Ash finished.
"Rest assured honey, she didn't feel anything when it happened. Her death was quick. I can't say the same for Grievous. I made him suffer greatly for killing her. But as your father said, he had to stop me so he could finish the job himself. That's why he's so hard on you during your training. He wants you to be ready to face all kinds of threats and survive. He did me the same way when he took me on as his apprentice." Misty explained.
"Wow, I had no idea. So, what was Aunt Violet like? Before all that happened?" Violet asked her mom. "She was kind, compassionate, loving, and overall the best sister a girl could ask for. Granted, she teased me about as much as your Aunts Daisy and Lily did, but she always apologized to me. After she died, I made a vow to Daisy and Lily, that I would live for Violet and never let her down. That's why you carry her name." Misty told her.
"Well, I'm proud to carry her name. Daddy showed me pictures of what she looked like and I gotta say mom, she was beautiful. I can't believe you were all leaders of a Pokemon gym." Violet said. Misty remembered the old days at the gym. She missed those days arguing with her sisters and yelling at them telling them she was going on a Pokemon journey and wasn't coming back until she was a Water Pokemon Master.
After dinner, it was time for bed. Misty tucked Violet in and made sure to change Kyle one last time before turning off the light and shutting the door and headed to hers and Ash's room. When she and Ash laid down in bed, she finally got serious. "Ash I know something's bothering you, I've sensed it all night since you came home from the Temple. You know you can't fool me." Misty said.
Ash sighed before sitting up. "Master Yoda's dying. His strength in the Force is weakening everyday. He told the Council to take a vote on who would take his place as the new Grand Master. They chose me." Ash explained. Misty sat up at hearing all this.
"But, does that mean you'll have to spend all your time in the Temple now? she asked. "I don't know Misty. I'll have to ask Yoda while I have a chance." "But why would they chose you Ash? You've told me many times how they've all been members long before even your dad was." Misty said. "When I asked them the same thing, they told me that Yoda himself said I surpassed him in the Force. I have a hard time believing that. So in the morning, I'm going to the Medical wing to talk to him and get some answers." Ash said as he laid back down.
"If you're really the new Grand Master, I want you to know that Violet and I are very proud of you Ash. She is especially. I didn't tell you at dinner because she made me swear not to, but she told me while I was giving her a bath that she's really looking forward to learning all that she can from you. She's so proud to say to all her friends that her daddy is a member of the highly esteemed Jedi Council." Misty told him.
"She's just like Violet was. She's very compassionate and loves everyone. She's going to be a wonderful Jedi just like her father." she finished as she laid her head on his chest. "You forget, you're still a Jedi Master yourself Misty. If anything she'll be like you. She may have my determination, but she's got your stubbornness and self-sense of awareness." Ash told her.
Misty giggled at this before kissing her husband goodnight. The next morning, Ash went to the Medical wing of the Temple where Yoda was being kept. He bowed to his Master who then asked him to sit.
"Chose you I did, to take my place. Strong with the Force, you have become. Surpassed me you have, Master Ash Ketchum." Yoda said as he began coughing. "But Master, am I really worthy of your title? Am I ready for the burden of this responsibility?" Ash asked him. Yoda turned to him before replying.
"Ready were you, when you became a father? Ready were you, when Grievous you faced?" Ash thought about Yoda's words before answering. "Forgive me Master. You're right. But, am I really as strong as you say Master Yoda? What about Master Skywalker? Isn't he the Chosen One?" he asked. "Stronger than me, you have become. The Chosen One he may be, but the Grand Master you are. A long time will you live. Rest I need. Twilight is upon me, and soon night must fall. Earned it I have." Yoda said as he covered himself up more.
"I will make you proud Master Yoda. I thank you, for everything you taught me." Ash said as he stood and bowed. "To thank me, there is no need. Lead the Temple well, you will." Yoda said as he slowly let his final breath leave his body. Ash realized then that Yoda has passed. He then saw Yoda's body vanish before his eyes.
Ash stood up once more and left the Medical wing before heading to the Council Chamber. He took his seat in Yoda's former chair before speaking. "Master Yoda, has become one with the Force. While I've decided that I will take on his role as your Grand Master, I have also decided that I will not be teaching his Youngling classes. Let each among you decide who is to take Yoda's place as the Youngling teacher. I still have my daughter to teach. I shall take some much needed time away from the Temple to adjust to all this responsibility. Master Skywalker, I want you to fill my post until I return from my time away understood?" Ash asked Anakin.
"I understand Master Ketchum. I won't let you down." he replied. "Good. You're all dismissed. I shall be heading to my house shortly. I bid you all farewell." Ash said to them as he left the Chamber.
THE END
It's finally finished! Guys, I finally finished a fanfiction! I'm so happy! I hope you all enjoyed this as much as I did! I actually added in the bit about Ki-Adi Mundi being married after hearing about his marriage from Star Wars Theory on YouTube, (I highly recommend his channel by the way!), and just had to put it in there to make the story flow better than I had originally wrote it back in 2015. I tried to end the story on a somewhat vague note, because I wasn't quite sure where to take this after Ash having become the new Grand Master in Yoda's place, if you guys want a sequel story to this, please let me know either in reviews, or private messages! This has been Seddie lover1990, signing off for now, and remember, "If you're not true to yourself, you're not true to the world."
