The Prince, the Princess and the Pauper (An Amourshipping and OC Tale)

Chapter 14

Silence fills the entire cathedral for a good long moment. All eyes are on the lifeless body of Captain Powuru. Timothy looks at his bloody sword and tosses it on the ground next to his dead opponent before turning to face his pokemon, Powuru's defeated men, Brock, Happiny, Holly, King Oak, and his men. Finally, everyone begins to roar with thunderous applause, overjoyed that the wicked captain is dead. Timothy smiles at this before he finds himself tackled to the ground by Electchu, Odyssey, Shockwave, Sonata, Howl, and Aloe. All of his Pokemon hug or nuzzle their master and he laughs and hugs them back. Brock and Happily smile at the moment before they see Ash and Pikachu.

"Ash!" Brock shouts.

"Happiny!" Happily cries happily.

Ash, Pikachu, Serena, Sylveon and Braixen turn to the tall man and his egg-shaped Pokemon as they run over to them.

"Brock?" Ash asks in surprise as he finally lets go of Serena. "You're ali- ULLK!"

The pauper gets the air knocked out of him as Brock wraps his arms around him tightly, picks him up and spins him around, laughing happily. Serena giggles at the joyous moment as Ash eventually hugs his friend back. Meanwhile, Pikachu and Happiny happily greet each other while Sylveon is still holding the yellow mouse in the air with her feelers. Finally, Brock puts his shorter friend down and notices Serena before clearing his throat.

"So...Ash, I understand you got married during this whole thing," he states. "What happened to not needing any companionship apart from just Pikachu?"

Serena frowns and glares at Ash with a raised eyebrow.

"You said that?" she asks with her hands on her hips.

"Uh, yeah I did," Ash admits nervously before turning back to Brock. "But that all changed when the two of us fell in love and I realized I had never been so wrong in all my life. Now I would never want a life without Serena, and Pikachu can't stand being without Sylveon. Isn't that right, buddy?"

"Pikachu!" Pikachu replies happily as he licks Sylveon on the cheek and she blushes lightly before they begin to nuzzle again.

"Aw, Ash," Serena says before she hugs him again. "I could never want a life without you either."

Brock stares at the newlyweds, surprised to see his friend act this way before he smiles.

"Well, I'm happy to see you found that certain someone to make you happy, Ash."

"So am I, Brock," Ash says with a toothy grin.

"Actually, speaking of happy..." Serena says flirtatiously before she suddenly smashes her lips together with Ash's. The raven-haired man's eyes widen and his face turns red as his wife fiercely kisses him for several seconds before pulling away and giving him a proud look. "I saw you bravely call Powuru out on the stage before we came in. You were simply magnificent, Ash."

"Wa-wa-was I really?" Ash asks with a goofy look, dazed from the kiss.

"Misty's husband, Gary, could not have done better," Serena answers as she holds on to her husband with pride. "I can't wait to tell our children of this day!"

Ash's already red face turns redder at the thought as his wife snuggles her head against his shoulder with her eyes closed and a bright smile. Brock chuckles in amusement until he hears someone clear their throat and he turns around to see Holly looking at him bashfully.

"H-h-hello," she says nervously.

Brock stares at the handmaiden with his mouth hanging open. Even though he saw her earlier, he wasn't able to get a good look at her with his mind determined to save his best friend. But with nothing to occupy his mind, the tall man stares at the auburn-haired woman, unable to look away at her beauty.
