Two days after the events at the Bone Woods, Nils and company had arrived in Indigo City and Nils was excited for both his wedding and the Pokemon League Tournament. After Nils, Ren, Firenze, Jessie and James entered the room in the stadium where trainers registered for the tournament, Nils registered without a second of waiting.

"So you're Nils," said the Nurse Joy who was taking registrations, "Are you by any chance the groom of the upcoming wedding here?"

"Yes I am," Nils answered with a smile.

"Well to be honest," said Nurse Joy, "I think you and the bride are a little too young but as long as your friends and family support you then I'm fine with it."

"Thanks," said Nils, "By the way, has Tana already registered?"

"She has," answered Nurse Joy," She and her parents are spending time at the Midnight Hotel and are waiting for you."

"Thanks for telling me Nurse Joy," thanked Nils and he, his friends and his parents left for the hotel.

After a few minutes of searching, the group found a large, blue hotel building that had a sign that said Midnight Hotel. The group then went in the building and once inside, Jessie and James asked the receptionist if they were expected and the receptionist told them they were. A porter was then given the group's bags and led them to the room where Tana and her parents were. Once they went in the room, they saw Tana, Ash and Serena who had already unpacked their bags.

"Nils you made it," said Tana as the engaged couple hugged.

"And apparently so have you Tana," said Nils.

"We actually got here yesterday," explained Serena, "We didn't want to risk being late for the wedding or the tournament."

"Also," said Tana, "Dean, Gunter, Libby and Utara have all made it too and are staying in different rooms here except for Libby whose parents own this hotel and is staying at the owner's suite with her parents." "Also, earlier Utara introduced me to his son, Arnold who will also be in the tournament and Prof Oak's daughter, Obelia, told me that she'll be competing too back when I got dresses for her and my other bridesmaids."

"So that means besides each other," said Nils, "We have six rivals at the tournament."

"You forgot Rex," said Firenze, "Is he here too?"

"Not yet," answered Ash, "But he will be here." "He's coming here with his dad, Tony who will be here tomorrow along with the rest of the Elite Four and the champion." "Rex will most definitely be in the tournament."

"Another thing," Serena said to Nils and Tana, "The Elite Four and Boyd will be at the wedding as well as all of the Gym Leaders that have battled at least one of you."

"That's great," said Nils who became excited.

"One other thing Nils and Tana," said Ash, "I would like you two to come with me to the hotel's battlefield." "I have something to show you both."

"Can we come," asked Ren.

"Sure thing," said Ash and he, Serena, Jessie, James, Firenze, Ren, Tana and Nils all left the room and went to the battlefield.

Once at the battlefield, everyone saw Prof Oak and a mahogany haired girl about the couple's age who wore an orange shirt and brown pants waiting for them.

"Professor Oak," said a surprised Nils, "What are you doing here?"

"Well it's obvious that I would be here to watch my daughter compete in the tournament," answered Professor Oak as he patted his daughter's back.

"Dad," said an embarrassed Obelia, "Not in front of Tana and her fiance."

"Hi," said Nils, "You must be Obelia."

"And you must be Nils," responded Obelia who shook Nils' hand, "Tana's told me a lot about you ever since she first met you. "I'm glad to finally meet you."

"Likewise," said Nils.

"So why are we here," asked Tana.

"Well," explained Professor Oak, "I've been wanting to see how you two have grown and changed since the day I gave you Squirtle and Bulbasaur."

"And I have been meaning to have a battle with each of you," explained Ash.

"So for those two reasons," explained Obelia, "Both my dad and the president of Ketchum co decided to have a tag team battle with you two." "And since this will be the last major battle that you two will have before the wedding in two days, it will be called the Bachelor Battle."

"That's a cool idea," said Tana.

"I agree," said Nils.

"Before you start the battle," said Serena, "We should all wait for the others who we invited to watch the battle and should all be here in a few minutes."

After waiting for six minutes, Dean, Misty, Daisy, Libby, Eugene, Aimee, Gunter, Reginald, Boyd, Forrest, Lucy, Snana, Rocio, Nabila, Blaine, Gordon, Utara, a boy with a blue bed head like hairstyle who wore a red shirt, who was assumed to be Arnold, and a girl with aquamarine hair that was tied in pigtails and wore a brick red hat and a grass green shirt, who was assumed to be Chalina, had all entered the battlefield and sat at the stand with Serena, Jessie, James, Ren and Firenze while Nils, Tana, Ash and Professor Oak prepared for battle.

"Let's go Pikachu," said Ash as his Pikachu jumped off of Ash's shoulder and went on the battlefield.

"Go Umbreon," said Professor Oak and an Umbreon appeared next to Pikachu.

"Go Venusaur," said Nils and Venusaur was sent out.

"Go Blastoise," said Tana and Blastoise was sent out.

"Start this battle with Thunderbolt on Blastoise," said Ash and Pikachu started to use the move of choice.

"Stop it with Energy Ball," said Nils and Venusaur used the move of choice which crashed into Thunderbolt and made an explosion.

"Psychic on Venusaur," said Professor Oak and Umbreon attacked Venusaur with the move that was chosen which caused super effective damage.

"Ice Punch on Umbreon," said Tana and Umbreon got hit by Blastoise's Ice Punch.

"Use Quick Attack on Blastoise," said Ash and Pikachu started to use the chosen attack.

"Use Quick Attack on Blastoise too," said Professor Oak and Umbreon started to use Quick Attack as well.

"Skull Bash," said Tana and Blastoise prepared for Skull Bash which made the two Quick Attacks do nothing.

"Alright then, Shadow Ball on Venusaur," said Professor Oak and Umbreon used the chosen move which gave some damage to Venusaur.

"Sludge Bomb on Pikachu," said Nils and Venusaur attacked Pikachu with the move that was selected which poisoned Pikachu.

"Attack Pikachu with Skull Bash," said Tana and Blastoise used the fully charged Skull Bash which gave Pikachu a lot of damage but made Blastoise get paralyzed because of Pikachu's abilitiy, Static.

"Now's our chance Pikachu," said Ash, "Use Electro Ball on Blastoise," and Pikachu used the selected attack which gave Blastoise lots of damage because the move was super effective and because the paralysis slowed down Blastoise.

"Use Psychic on Venusaur," said Professor Oak and Umbreon attacked Venusaur with the attack of choice which inflicted even more damage than the last Psychic because both the last Psychic and earlier Shadow Ball lowered Venusaur's special defense.

Water Pulse on Pikachu," said Tana who decided to target her father's Pokemon because she knew it was the stronger one and Blastoise hit Pikachu with Water Pulse which confused him.

"Energy Ball on Umbreon," said Nils who decided to focus on Umbreon with Pikachu confused and Umbreon got hit with Energy Ball which lowered its own special defense.

"Dark Pulse on Venusaur," said Professor Oak and Umbreon used the attack of choice which severely damaged Venusaur.

Nils then noticed Venusaur's ability, Overgrow, activated and decided to use the same strategy that was used to battle Team Bomb back at Threat Mountain.

"Use Petal Blizzard," said Nils and Venusaur used the selected move which knocked out the still confused Pikachu and severely damaged both Umbreon and Blastoise.

"Good idea Nils," said Tana, "Use Hydro Pump," and Blastoise used the Torrent boosted Hydro Pump which knocked out Umbreon.

"That was a strong combination," said Ash as he picked up Pikachu, "It's obvious that you two will be great together."

"Thanks Dad," thanked Tana as she returned Blastoise.

"The two of you have grown so much during your journeys," said Professor Oak as he returned Umbreon, "I'm sure the both of you will do great in the tournament."

"Thanks Professor," thanked Nils as he returned Venusaur.

"That was a fantastic Bachelor Battle," said Boyd as he and the others walked over, "I wouldn't be surprised if one of you won the tournament."

"So what do we do now," asked Ren who was holding hands with Libby.

"Well," answered Eugene, "After that incident Team Bomb caused, the president of Ketchum co and I decided that when everyone's here, we would have a feast to celebrate the upcoming wedding." "I also talked to Nils' parents as well as the champion about the idea and they all agreed."

"So that's why the kitchen seemed busy," said Firenze who had been hugging Gordon.

"That's right," said Boyd, "Also, I've been informed on my way here that all four members of the Elite Four would arrive early and that they arrived while the battle happened which means Rex is here now and should be registering for the tournament as we speak."

"Ok everyone," said Ash, "Let's go to the feast," and everyone went to the Midnight Hotel's restaurant for the feast. Right before lunch was served, the Elite Four and Rex all showed up and joined the group.

"You mean to tell me that the two of you battled Professor Oak and Ketchum co's president," asked Rex.

"Yep," answered Nils and Tana at the same time.

After enjoying the feast which was their lunch, everyone went their own ways and returned to their rooms. After returning to the room that their families were sharing, Nils and Tana felt satisfied for the battle, the feast and spending time with several of their friends.
