Lumious City the Kalos Region:
With Serena:
I can't believe it; Serena begins to mutter to her reflection in the mirror after looking into the reflection of her shining blue eyes the performer smiles as she reaches on the vanity for her hairbrush catching a glimpse of the diamond on her engagement ring Ash gave her just a few short weeks ago. After gazing at this; Serena's mind begins to wonder still in disbelief that her Ash the one she thought would never notice her affection as they travelled around Kalos had not only begun dating but were now engaged and in a few short hours would be celebrating their wedding before heading once again to Alola; Ash's adopted region and also home to the league Ash created his pride & arguably one of his greatest achievements, Serena try as she might could not contain her excitement to be returning their soon this time with Ash and a new last name. Serena's mind wondering was soon interrupted however by the chime of the clock on the wall after noticing the time Serena realized that her dream would be coming true in just a few hours but for now it was best to get some rest. Before doing so though Serena faces her reflection one more time and says to it "Have to look good for Ash after all." Serena then starts laughing as she gets up from the stool in front of the vanity and over to her bed.
Meanwhile with Ash:
I can't believe that its happening tomorrow Ash sighs as he stands on the balcony of the hotel with Pikachu as the two of them look up to the clear night sky and the prominent full moon within it. Ash then looks down to his partner and ace and addresses him; "Pikachu"; the yellow mouse then looks up to his trainer a he addressed him; Ash then continues on not taking his eyes off the night sky; "Pikachu we've been through a lot on our journey and have had a lot of accomplishments but asking Serena that question is without question the most important; she's been my inspiration and my best friend..." "Human friend Ash soon clarifies not wanting to offend Pikachu but Pikachu already knows how Ash feels about Serena and has for a long time so there was no need for the clarification. Pikachu just looks at his trainer who appears so happy then joins him looking back to the night sky.
The Following Morning
Lumious City was abuzz as the awaited wedding between Alola league creator and champion Ash Ketchum & The world famous Pokemon performer Serena Yvonne was about to begin; in her preparation quarters, Serena was shaking with nervousness but is soon brought back to reality by another voice; "Serena, can you PLEASE stop shaking? I can't get your tram on", Shaunna said. The honey blonde performer immediately snaps out of it and addresses her; "I'm sorry, Shaunna it's just, I'm so nervous"; Shaunna then looks to her friend and longtime rival and says something to reassure her; "It's only natural. I'm sure Ash is nervous as well." Serena smiles at this remark feeling some comfort in it knowing that Shaunna was probably right as she says to herself; "Ash isn't normally the kind to openly show nervousness; that changes only around one person and that's me."
Meanwhile, back at the chapel with Ash:
Ash emerged from the men's room, having changed into his tuxedo; "Looking good, Ash", Clemont stated. Ash smiles at the Lumious Gym leader who during his Kalos journey became like the brother he never had but still couldn't shake the nervousness in his own mind as he begins to rub his hands to maintain his composure. After a couple seconds the grandfather clock chimed, meaning it was time for the wedding to commence and for Ash & Serena to begin their new life together. As he begins the walk down the hall to the foyer. Grace took her place as usher as Ash & his groomsmen had priority entrance. "Showtime", he said as he opened the church doors. Grace took her position (filling in for Serena's father who couldn't be bothered to attend his own daughter's wedding) as the rest of the boys took their respective spots at the front of the church. Finally, when everyone had been seated, Grace was going to sit down herself, until the retired Rhyhorn racer remembered she was going to have to walk Serena down the aisle and give her away to Ash. Ash himself was also tempted to sit down for a minute as he felt his nerves start to cause pain in his feet that is of course, until he heard the Wedding Overture start up and rushed back to his spot. Clemont, Bonnie and a few other guests all had to stifle a giggle during that display as it appears Ash may not have thought this part all the way out, however He made it to his spot just as Grace & Serena approached it. Serena held out her hand that was still shaking a bit that however went away quickly as Ash grasped it although Ash couldn't see it under her veil Serena had dawned a Pink blush across her face still in disbelief that this was finally happening. Ash then leads her over to the spot where he was at. After a second of watching her daughter walk with Ash grace smiles as she realizes just how happy her daughter must be right now and how proud she has made her Grace then finally took her seat next to Delila, letting a sigh finally escape her, albeit she kept it quiet enough so no one would hear. The minister then shows his hands from under his vestments and began his spiel.
"Dearly beloved, we've gathered here today to join together this man and this woman in a state of holy matrimony." He turned to Ash. "Ash Ketchum, will you take Serena Yvonne to be your lawfully wedded wife? To cherish in sickness and in health and be loved for the rest of your days?" Ash smiles at Serena and even though he couldn't see her face Ash didn't even think twice before he gave his answer. "I do", he said. The minister smiles then turns and repeats the same thing to Serena, Serena smiles under her veil and continues to fight back tears of joy but similarly to Ash she didn't hesitate in her answer "I do", Serena said. After giving her response Ash took the ring intended for Serena and held it to her.
"I, Ash Ketchum, give you, Serena Yvonne, this ring as a reminder that I will love, honor, and cherish you. In all times, in all places. And in all ways, forever", he said in complete sincerity as he placed the ring on her ring finger. Serena still in disbelief could now feel tears of joy running down her face and was happy that her veil was hiding it from everyone; Serena wasn't the only one who was touched by this though because there was nearly no dry eye once Ash was finished with his statement to Serena. Without a moment of hesitation Serena took the ring met for Ash and repeated the gesture; but everyone noticed a change as Serena's voice as she begins to speak; "Ash, you were my yesterday and you are my today. You will be my tomorrow. All that I am I will give to you", she said with complete sincerity as she placed the ring on his ring finger. Even with the change of tone in her voice and not being able to see her face while she said it Ash knew everything Serena just said was sincere and likewise Serena knew the exact thing held true for Ash as well. After a few seconds in silence the audience regained their composure, the minister had to ask the question before they could share the traditional wedding kiss. "If anyone has any objections, speak now or forever hold your peace", he said, scanning the room to see if anyone throws up a hand or a late arrival bursting through the door shouting the traditional "I OBJECT!" line; but Luckily, Clemont, Tierno, Grace, Delila, among others, all shook their heads all in support for the union of the childhood friends. "If that's the case", he turned to the two, mainly Ash in particular. "You may now kiss the bride". Ash gulped trying to shake his nerves knowing it was all in vein right now Ash then takes his hands and places them on Serena's veil lifting it up and revealing her face; Ash was surprised at the sight he got Serena's tears of joy from their big day had caused her makeup to run but, Ash didn't care he takes his finger making a "C" shape and wipes away the last tear from the performers face Ash then stares into her blue eyes, takes his hands and cupped her face and kissed Serena on the lips to applause. The minister then happily announces "May I now present to you, Mr. & Mrs. Ash Ketchum". The two then turn to face the audience noticing their friends, family and, pokemon crying for them; they even noticed Braixen crying as she hugs Pikachu causing the yellow mouse pokemon to become understandably uncomfortable; this sight causes the Newlyweds to smile and laugh as Ash & Serena looped their arms and walked down the aisle together as, Everyone stood up in approval. The ceremony was over and Ash & Serena walked along towards their new lives together they both silently took joy in the knowledge that now they will never be separated again.
