A New Life

Chapter 14 - The Wedding.

Ash and his family had now been in Altomare for 3 months and things were going well.

Max and Bonnie were always going of and playing with the pokemon, Paul and Chase had finally told each other how they felt and they were now happily together, Gary and Alain had also done their confessions and they were not happily together as well, Norman and Caroline spent their time together and fussing over the children, as for Ash and Latias their wedding was coming up in a week and they were preparing for it.

Since Latias did not know many girls they had decided that her 'bridesmaids' would be Bonnie, Gary and Paul while Ash had Max, Alain and Chase. Norman and Caroline were going to be the ones walking down the aisle with Latias as she had no family of her own.

Ash was excited for this as he had been waiting so long to marry the female pokemon, but while he did feel this he also felt nervous as if something bad was going to happen.

Charles Goodshow had kept to his word and Ash did not have to any battling until he wanted to, the man also relayed his message to the other elites that they were being released, he was going to pay them and he knew that they would find jobs taking over gyms from the older people as well as travelling themselves.

When Paul, Chase, Gary and Alain ha learned they were going to be the new elites they were shocked, Ash told them that they were some of the most powerful trainers he had ever seen and that he couldn't imagine placing anyone else as his elites. Max and Bonnie were more focused on researching pokemon and helping them as well as this Norman and Caroline were more content staying in the house with their family and their pokemon (though they did help with anything). Ash, Paul, Chase, Gary and Alain were the ones that were interested in battling, Latias mostly stuck with Ash but there were times when she would be of with other members of the family helping them.

As the day was coming closer the more real it seemed, he was getting married in a week.

Don't get him wrong he was excited and happy to be marrying the girl/pokemon of his dreams but at the same time he was nervous of doing this and committing himself. However as soon as he looked at Latias and how excited and she was all of those nerves disappeared in a flash.

Caroline, Bonnie and Latias had all gone dress shopping in the first week of being back in Altomare knowing that it would take some time for the dress to be made. None of the boys had been allowed to go in case they went and told Ash, at least they all knew the girls would not do this.

Because each of the couples were on the opposite sides for the 'bridesmaids' and the 'groomsmen' they were going to walk down as a couple. So Paul and Chase would go down as a couple, Gary and Alain will go down as a couple as will Bonnie and Max, Norman and Caroline were going to be bringing down Latias.

Pikachu was going to be carrying the rings down the aisle and there was a large balcony above their garden, which will be where all of the pokemon will watch the wedding. Most of the pokemon will be in the crowd at the wedding but this is not possible with all of the legendary pokemon, so they will be up in the balcony and all of the other flying pokemon will be on the roof of the large building to watch.

"Are you excited Ash?" Paul said as they walked back to the house. Paul and Ash had gone out into the yard to practice battle, even though they were not starting the leagues yet they were not going to get out of shape. Ash had told Paul, Chase, Gary and Alain that they would continue training just so there was no chance of being beaten, they did not question him as they wanted to do this.

"Yes I am excited Paul, more excited then anything else. But there is also some nervousness in there as well, what if she doesn't come? What if she changes her mind and says no?" Ash said in a rush.
