It had been three days since Nils started training his Pokemon and he had just defeated the three strong butlers and three strong maids for the day when his parents went to talk to him, Ren and Firenze about something.
"Nils," said Jessie, "You and your friends should each wear something nice tonight."
"What for," asked Nils.
"We are having some important guests come over for dinner," answered James.
"Who's coming," asked Firenze.
"The owners of the four most famous hotels in Kanto," answered Jessie, Eugene and his wife, Aimee."
"What are the four most famous hotels," asked Ren.
"They are the Amber Hotel in Fuchsia City, the Forest Hotel in Dure City, the Crimson Hotel in Saffron City and the Midnight Hotel in Indigo City where the Pokemon League will happen," answered James.
"The reason these guests are coming," explained Jessie, "Is so we can discuss about the wedding reception happening in the Midnight Hotel."
"They also want to talk to you Ren since you're Ketchum co's new vice president," explained James.
"They're also bringing their daughter over," explained Jessie, "And we think you three might know her."
"Ok then," said Nils, "We'll get ready for the guests as soon as possible," and Nils, Ren and Firenze went to Nils' room to get ready.
Later that day, Nils was wearing the same suit he wore at Tana's birthday party while Ren wore a gray suit, that once belonged to Nils from when he was younger, and Firenze wore a scarlet dress, that was borrowed from Jessie. By the time the trio joined Jessie and James in the entrance hall, the entrance door opened, which meant the guests had arrived, and three people entered the mansion. The first person was a man with smooth blonde hair and was wearing a violet suit who was assumed to be Eugene. The second person was a woman with long pink hair and was wearing semicircular glasses and an emerald green dress who was assumed to be Aimee. The final person turned out to be Libby who was wearing a brown dress that went to her knees.
"Libby," said a surprised Ren, "You're in a rich family like Nils?"
"Yeah," said Libby, "Sorry for not telling you though Nils isn't much better."
"Yeah I'm sorry for that as well," said Nils.
"So," said Eugene, "You must be Nils, the groom of the wedding, and Ren, vice president of Ketchum co."
"It's nice to meet you sir," said Nils as he and Ren shook Eugene's hand.
"I say Nils," said Aimee, "Just by looking at you, I'd say you will make a fine groom at your wedding."
"Thank you," thanked Nils.
"Dinner should be ready soon," said James, "I suggest we all go to the dining room to start discussing and eating," and everyone went to the dining room.
During dinner, Jessie and James discussed with Eugene and Aimee about how the reception will happen in the Midnight Hotel and it was not only agreed that the reception will happen however Nils and Tana wanted, but also that they would stay at the Midnight Hotel during the Pokemon League along with their families and their twenty closest friends who would also be staying for the league. By the time dessert was served, Eugene and Aimee looked at Ren and started to talk to him.
"Libby has told us a lot about you and your friends but especially you Ren," said Eugene.
"And after talking with her," said Aimee, "We've decided that we want you and Libby to have a tag team battle with the two of us." "Do you accept?"
"Sure," answered Ren who didn't know what Libby's parents had in mind and after dessert, everyone went to the battlefield.
Once at the battlefield, Ren and Libby went to one side while Libby's parents went to the other and everyone else sat at the stand.
"Go Raticate." said Ren and Raticate was sent out.
"Go Vanilluxe," said Libby and a Vanilluxe was sent out.
"Go Dodrio," said Aimee and a Dodrio appeared.
"Go Cloyster," said Eugene and a Cloyster appeared.
"Use Rock Smash on Cloyster," said Ren and Raticate hit Cloyster with the move of choice which lowered Cloyster's defense.
"Use Tri Attack on Raticate," said Aimee and Dodrio hit Raticate with the selected attack which paralyzed Raticate.
"Big mistake," said Ren, "Use Facade on Cloyster," and Raticate started to use the move that was chosen.
"Stop it with Hydro Pump," said Eugene and Cloyster used the attack of choice which stopped Facade and damaged Raticate.
"Drill Peck on Vanilluxe," said Aimee and Dodrio attacked Vanilluxe with the selected move.
"Use Avalanche," said Libby and Vanilluxe used the move that was chosen which gave Dodrio a lot of super effective damage.
"Use Facade on Dodrio," said Ren and Raticate tried Facade again which hit Dodrio who took lots more damage.
Flash Cannon on Cloyster," said Libby and Cloyster was attacked by Vanilluxe's Flash cannon.
"Icicle Crash on Raticate," said Eugene and Raticate took damage and flinched because of Icicle Crash.
"Giga Impact on Vanilluxe," said Aimee who knew Dodrio took too much damage to do much more and Dodrio used the attack of choice which severely damaged Vanilluxe.
"Ice Beam on Dodrio," said Libby and Vanilluxe used Ice Beam which knocked out Dodrio.
"Use Hydro Pump on Raticate," said Eugene who knew Raticate would soon get knocked out and Cloyster started to use the move that was selected.
"Stop it with Ice Beam," said Libby and Vanilluxe used Ice Beam which crashed into Hydro Pump and made an explosion which sent the three Pokemon backwards.
"Use Facade, "said Ren and Raticate quickly recovered and used the move of choice which gave tons of damage to Cloyster who was still recovering.
"Finish with Flash Cannon," said Libby and Vanilluxe used the chosen attack which knocked out Cloyster.
"You two work well together," said Eugene as he and Aimee returned their Pokemon.
"And since you beat us Libby," said Aimee, "We'll allow you to talk to Ren."
"Talk to me about what," asked a confused Ren.
"Well you see Ren," explained Libby, "When I first met you in Tormen City, I felt something strange in me and it kept getting stronger every time I encountered you." "When I learned that Nils was getting married, I realized that I somehow fell in love with you despite the fact I'm a few years older than you." "After Team Bomb's defeat, I told my parents about all this and that you are Ketchum co's new vice president." "So, they decided that when they met you they would have a tag team battle with the two of us and if we won I would tell you my feelings and then ask you this question." "Will you be my boyfriend and go out with me?"
"Well Libby," said Ren who was surprised by the explanation and question, "To be honest when we first met, I also felt something strange that kept getting stronger whenever we saw each other." "At one point, I saw how happy Nils was with Tana and then at the Cinnabar Gym, I saw that Firenze was happy with her fiance, Gordon, and I started to feel like I was sad because I didn't have what they had." "It was then when we rescued Ketchum co and the citizens of Pinoma City when we worked together along with those other trainers that I realized that I needed you." "So, the answer is yes, I will be your boyfriend and go out with you."
Ren and Libby then hugged and everyone smiled at them.
"Now all three of us have someone to love," said Nils.
"You're right Nils," said Ren, "But I don't intend to get married until I'm at least fourteen." "Are you alright with that Libby?"
"That's a good time," answered Libby.
"Well now that that's settled," said Eugene, "I think it's time for the three of us to head home."
After a while, Libby and her parents left after saying that they will see everyone at the wedding and the Pokemon League. A few hours later, Nils, Ren and Firenze went to bed and Ren slept with a big smile on his face.
