The next morning after Nils woke up, he noticed Tana wasn't in the hotel room. The reason why was because of a wedding tradition where the bride and groom couldn't see each other from the day before the wedding to the wedding itself. After breakfast, Nils decided to go explore the city to see if any of the guests he knew had arrived yet. Once in the city, Nils heard an announcement from the Pokemon League.
"Attention everyone," said a voice who was the Nurse Joy who took registrations, "I have three things to tell you all." "First, registrations for the Pokemon League Tournament are now over." "Second, we will be hosting a wedding between two of the contestants tomorrow and all of the other contestants are invited." "Finally, we will decide the matchups for the first round during the wedding and will reveal them to everyone the day after."
"If it isn't the son of my two old pals," said a voice from below Nils after the announcement was over and Nils looked down to see Meowth.
"I thought you would make it Meowth," said Nils who knew Meowth as a family friend.
Meowth was a special Pokemon that couldn't battle but instead speak the language of humans. He once worked for Team Rocket alongside Nils' parents but after getting fired, he helped Ash stop Team Rocket and was a boon to the cause by translating Pokemon. After Ketchum co was formed, Meowth took a job there as a way for the company to understand the language of Pokemon which would help improve the bond.
"Why would I not come to your wedding Nils," asked Meowth, "I'll always support your parents no matter what."
"That's right," said Nils who copied Meowth's old phrase.
"Nils over here," said a new voice and when Nils looked to see who it was, he saw his grandparents.
"I see you two made it," said Nils to his grandparents.
Nils' grandparents were once rich people that only cared about money instead of the happiness of others including their son, James. They even tried to force James to marry a selfish woman from another rich family named Jessebelle but thanks to Ash, Jessie and a handful of friends, Jessebelle's family got exposed of trying to collect as much money as possible by marrying and then murdering rich families in order to take over the world. After Jessebelle and her family were arrested, James' parents realized that their selfishness and spoiledness almost killed them. So as an apology for their mistakes, they gave James the freedom and happiness he desired while also giving James every last bit of their fortune which made them poor in the process. Despite the loss of money, they were a lot happier with working at the Amber Hotel which gave them a more ok amount of money.
"It's good to see you Nils," said Nils' grandpa, "It's also good to see that you're happy with your decision of getting married at a young age."
"To think," said Nils' grandmother, "This wouldn't be happening if we had fallen for the trap of Jessebelle's family."
After Nils chatted for while with his grandparents and Meowth, he went back to exploring and he soon saw both of Tana's grandmothers, Delia who was Ash's mom and Grace who was Serena's mom.
"Nils," said Grace, "I haven't seen you since you visited Kalos and participated in the Junior Ambrette Rhyhorn Race which I sponsored." "It may have been four years since then but it still seems like yesterday." "And to think, tomorrow you will marry my granddaughter."
"And to me," said Delia, "It only feels like yesterday when Ash first met his Pikachu but during the time since then, he's accomplished many great things like stopping Team Rocket and starting Ketchum co." "And now, his daughter is getting married which makes me just as happy and sad as I was when he got married."
"It's good you both could make it," said Nils, have you both seen Tana yet?"
"We have," answered Delia, "She's somewhere else in the city waiting for guests like you are." "Now if you excuse us, we need to talk to Ash and Serena," and they both left for the Midnight Hotel.
Nils then searched again, while being careful not to find Tana, and after a few minutes found Cassidy and Butch and talked to them as well.
Cassidy and Butch were members of Team Rocket just like Jessie and James. However, after failing missions so many times, they got fired. After learning some wisdom from Ash and friends, they decided to help stop Team Rocket. After Team Rocket's downfall, Cassidy and Butch started a Pokemon Day Care and then got married three years after Jessie and James got married. For some reason after Team Rocket was stopped, everyone who had once had gotten Butch's name wrong all the time stopped making that mistake.
Nils then found Brock who was a famous Pokemon Doctor but was sad because his old friend's daughter was getting married at a young age while he couldn't find love himself. However, he did learn his lesson years ago and stopped being desperate for love.
After talking to enough guests, Nils decided to spend the rest of the day training his Pokemon for the tournament.
The next day, Nils was in the league building with Rex and Ren and the three boys were getting dressed for the wedding. Nils was wearing the same black tuxedo he bought at Celadon City while Rex wore a brown tuxedo that Jessie and James bought for him after he became the best man and Ren put on a blue tuxedo that Libby gave him after they became a couple. With the three boys ready they went to the area in front of the Pokemon League building where the wedding ceremony would happen and Ren went to get the rings while Nils and Rex went to the altar.
As the guests and contestants arrived, Nils saw Misty, her husband Tracy, Violet and Lily who were Misty's other sisters, Dean who was welcoming guests. Brandon of the Battle Frontier, Brandon's wife Maria, Bushra who was a former Elite Four Member and a good friend of Ash's, Kimiko who was the daughter of the Dragon Master Lance, Libby, Libby's parents, Utara and his son Arnold, Professor Oak, Forrest, Lucy, Snana, all of the guests Nils talked to the day before, Boyd, the elite Four, Gunter, Reginald, Fuchsia City's Gym Leader Janine, Sabrina, Harry, George, Thalia, Marnie, Marnie's parents, Blaine, Gordon, Jackie, Chris, and a black haired man named Dracon who is the Gym Leader of Berlon City.
After it was confirmed all of the guests had arrived and had taken seats, Cassidy and Butch's six year old daughter, Heather, who was a prodigy in music started to play an organ which started the ceremony. After the music started, Nabila, who was the flower girl went down the aisle while dropping green flowers along the way. Next came the ring bearer, Ren, who came while carrying a brown pillow that held the rings Nils bought at Celadon City. Then came the maid of honour, Firenze, who was wearing a yellow dress that Jessie and James gave her back at the mansion and was carrying a white bouquet and was then followed by the three bridesmaids, Obelia, Rocio and Chalina, who were wearing purple dresses and carried pink bouquets.
A minute later, everyone stood up, the song changed and Tana appeared wearing the same white wedding dress she bought at Celadon City and carrying a big, rainbow bouquet. With Ash escorting her, Tana walked down the aisle with a very big smile on her face while Nils watched her with an equally big smile on his face. Once Tana made it to the altar, she gave her bouquet to Firenze and then held both hands with Nils while everyone sat back down.
"Hello everyone," said Daisy who was the minister, "We are gathered here today to witness the union of love between Nils and Tana." "Before we begin, if anyone would like to object please say something now," and after a minute of silence, Daisy continued. "Nils, do you take Tana to be your lawfully wedded wife, do you promise to love her for better and for worse and to care for her in sickness and in health as long as you both shall live?"
"I do," answered Nils.
"And Tana," continued Daisy, "Do you take Nils to be your lawfully wedded husband, do you promise to love him for better and for worse and to care for him in sickness and in health as long as you both shall live?"
"I do," answered Tana.
"Rings please," asked Daisy and Ren gave Nils and Tana the rings.
"With this ring, I thee wed," said Nils as he put the gold ring on Tana's left ring finger.
"With this ring, I thee wed," said Tana as she put the silver ring on Nils' left ring finger.
"By the power invested in me by the Region of Kanto," said Daisy, "I now pronounce you husband and wife." "You may kiss the bride."
Nils and Tana then kissed with everything they had while all of the guests and contestants of the tournament clapped for them. After finishing the kiss, Nils and Tana walked down the aisle together and then went to the Midnight Hotel along with everyone else for the reception.
Once everyone was in the hotel's ballroom, the reception started by Tana throwing her bouquet which was caught by a teenage girl with short, curly, green hair who was obviously a contestant.
After the bouquet was caught, everyone started to either dance or eat the food that Snana had made.
"It's finally happened," said Tana as she and Nils danced, "We're married."
"You're right," said Nils, "To be honest, I was worried this wouldn't happen when we tried to fight Wilda, but I'm glad she was defeated and now we're husband and wife." "By the way, why was the bouquet a rainbow?"
"It was my dad's idea," answered Tana, "He said looking at me holding it reminded him of the time when he saw a Ho-oh right after he met Pikachu." "By the way, Since when did Ren and Libby start liking each other," Tana asked because she noticed Ren dancing with Libby.
"Apparently," answered Nils, "Since they first met."
After dancing for several minutes, Nils and Tana cut the first slice of the wedding cake which had four layers of white cake and had different coloured frosting on each layer with green on the top, red on the upper middle, blue on the lower middle and yellow on the bottom. Right after, several people had cake.
It was when he finished his cake that Ash stood up for a speech.
"Thanks to all of you for coming to my daughter's wedding," thanked Ash, "The love she shares with her new husband is a powerful thing and I'm glad that they have it sooner rather than later because I found my own true love later and I still regret it." "I'm certain when Tana becomes the president of Ketchum co, she will have Nils to help her all the way," and Ash then sat down.
After the speech everyone went back to dancing and having a very good time.
"Hey Nils and Tana," said Firenze as she walked over to the newly weds, "This wedding is great, I hope it doesn't upstage my wedding."
"Your wedding's in a month Firenze," said Tana, "I don't think either wedding will affect the other."
"You might be right Tana," said Firenze, and she left to go back to dancing with Gordon.
"How does it feel to be married," asked Rex as he and Obelia came over.
"It feels great Rex," answered Nils.
"That's good," said Rex, "Also we would like to tell you two something."
"What's that," asked Tana.
"Well," answered Obelia, "Let's just say that Rex and I kept encountering each other during our journeys and we each originally hated the other but after I beat him in a battle three times in a row and then he caught his Electivire, Rex changed which made each of us gain feelings for the other and today we just confessed our feelings and are now boyfriend and girlfriend."
"Congratulations," said both Nils and Tana at the same time.
"Thanks," thanked Rex and Obelia in unison and they went to continue dancing.
Several hours later, the reception had ended and everyone went back to where they were spending the night.
That night after taking off their wedding clothes, Nils and Tana went to the bed they were now sharing and slept happily.
The next morning, Nils and Tana along with Ren and Firenze all went to the Pokemon League Stadium to see who Nils and Tana's first opponents were gonna be.
While Tana's opponent was a boy with long, brown hair, Nils' opponent turned out to be Gunter.
"So we'll be battling in the first round Nils," said Gunter who happened to be there as well, "Let's have a good battle."
"Best of luck to both of us," said Nils and then he and Tana left to spend their first day as a married couple while preparing for the tournament.
