Our heroes are now at a cafe located in Motostoke enjoying a delicious pastry meal as they try so many selected dishes to decide which delicious cake would be the perfect flavor for the wedding, while the Pokémon decide to pick a perfect treats for the guest's Pokémon.
Bella's P.O.V
Hop: Man, it's so hard to chooses they all taste so delicious~
Gloria: I honestly like the honey lemon cake
Bella: Yeah, but I love the chocolate cake
Marnie: Mine is the dark chocolate
Bede: Strawberry is good too
Valarie: I admit, it's hard to choose but they're all just so delicious
Cafe Owner: Take as much time as you need, we're in no rush
Victor: So, are we gonna meet your brother and mom?
Gloria: or Gladion's family
Valarie: Well, Mom is coming over along with Gladion's family... But other than them, a certain friend of mine is coming too
Victor: Who?
Valarie: Ash Ketchum
Valarie's Students: WHAAAAAAATTTTTT!!!????? The Ash Ketchum!!!
Victor/Hop: This is a dream come true!!! We have to battle him
Valarie: I'm sure Ash would love to battle any of you two, just don't go easy on him
Victor/Hop: We won't
Valarie: Chef! I love the pastries, and I made my decision. I'll go with all the flavors, is it possible to make the cake into a eight tier cascade wedding cake?
Chef: No problem, we'll make it right away
Valarie: Thanks. Bede, Marnie, Bella, you kids can leave for the day. I'm sure you kids have your "priorities" in the gym to deal with
Bede: Yeah, we'll be going. Come on, Bella
Bella: Yeah, we'll see you all at the wedding
Valarie: Don't forget, your Pokémon are more than welcome to come too
Bede/Marnie/Bella: Thank you
Bede, Marnie, and I left the cafe as we walked to our respected gyms. Marnie and Bede took a Flying Taxi while I walked to the gym to attend my duties. I was coming up with a course for the Gym Challengers to pass, afterwards it was time to close the gym for the day and I walked home with Grandpa Kabu. When we got home, my mom cooked dinner with her pokemon help while I talked with my Grandpa Kabu about the trial I wanted to create, afterwards we ate dinner and I got ready to go to bed when suddenly I heard my Rotom phone ringing.
Rotom [Phone]: Ring ring~ you have call from Bede!! Bzztt
Bella: Oh! Patch him in
Bede [Phone]: Hey Bella, got a second?
Bella: Sure, what's up?
Bede [Phone]: I was wondering if you'd like me to go with you to Valarie and Gladion's wedding
Bella: Sure, why not
Bede [Phone]: Great, so I'll pick you up then
Bella: No problem
Bede [Phone]: Goodnight
Bella: Goodnight
I hanged up, and went to bed really quick while my Pokémon get comfortable and go to sleep. The next couple of days when by until it was time for the Wedding, I fixed up my dress and made sure to get the wrinkles out. While I tend to my Pokémon and attached a corsage on my Pokémon to match with the flowers they picked for the venue of the wedding.
Bella: There, that should do it
Ruth [Rockruff]: Ruff!!
Bella: Okay, we should be ready for the wedding. Remember, we all have to be on our best behavior, this wedding cannot go wrong
[Knock, Knock]
Cherry: Bella, Bede is waiting
Bella: I'll be right over
I rushed downstairs with my purse and Pokémon in their poke balls, Niko hopped on my shoulders and we walked downstairs to see Bede in a pale pink tux and flower as his Hatterene stood next to him.
Bede: Bella, you look breathtaking
Bella: Thank you
Cherry: Oh before we go, picture time!
Bella: [pout] Mom~
Cherry: Just one pic, and then we'll go to the wedding ceremony
I stood next to Bede and posed for the photo while our Pokémon joined in as well, when my mom took the photo we got everything and left to the ceremony. When we arrived the venue was amazing, the flowers, the decor, everything was beautiful. Bede and I spotted Victor wearing a brown tux while his sister wore a green dress to match her hat, Marnie with black and pink dress, and hop wearing a dark red tux.
Bella: Hop! Gloria! Victor! Marnie! Hi~!!
Hop: [blushes] B-Bella, you look beautiful
Bella: Thanks
Gloria: Are you excited? I cant wait to meet Gladion's family
Victor: Hop and I can't wait to meet Ash Ketchum
Marnie: I heard that he's married too
Victor: half of the guest are here but I don't see Ash anywhere
Gloria: I'm sure he'll be here soon
Bella: Hey look!!
Everyone turned to see a helicopter landing that had what appear to be Aether Foundation logo on it, when the door opened a butler helped a woman with has blonde long hair with silver streaks and green eyes. She wears an elegant blue and white dress with white stocking, and matching blue heels and a small hat.
Victor: Whoa~ is that-
Gladion: Mother, it so nice to see you
Valarie's Students: Mother???!!!
Gladion: Yes, this is my mother... Lusamine, and my sister Lillie, my father Mohn, and our butler Hobbes
Lusamine: It's nice to meet you children, you must be Valarie's students
Gloria: Yep! My name is Gloria, this is Bella Lodge, Marnie, Hop, Bede, and my brother, Victor
Lusamine: So this must be the new Champion of Galar, nice to meet you
Victor: You as well
Lillie: I should go check on Valarie, Do you girls want to come along
Bella/Gloria/Marnie: YEAH!!!!
We followed Lillie as we walked into a small room to find Valarie in a very breath taking wedding dress, her hair was curled and she wore a veil with it.
Valarie: What do you think?
Lillie: You look beautiful
Marnie: Amazing
Gloria/Bella: Fantastic
Valarie: Thank you, and for my special Pokémon of honor, Rocky will be by my side
Rocky [Lycanroc]: Roc!
[knock knock]
Harry: Val, it's time
Lillie: We should get to our seats, let's go
The girls and I went back to our seats as we all waited until the music started, we all stood up and watch as Valarie's father walks her down the isle while Gladion stood next to the priest and with him was his Lycanroc and someone else. A muscular, dark-skinned young man. He has red and brown hair, in a style resembling fire.
Bella: Who's that next to Gladion?
Green haired woman: Hm? Oh that's Kiawe
Bella: Kiawe? I think Valarie mentioned him
Blue haired woman: Yeah, Kiawe and Val used to dated, but the three of them made a promise, that if Gladion came back then Valarie will choose Gladion, but if Gladion doesn't come back on the day he promised, then Valarie would choose Kiawe
Bella: So, Gladion came back?
Mallow: He did, Oh! I should introduce myself, I'm Mallow, and this is Lana
Bella: Hello, I'm Bella Lodge
Lana: It's nice to meet you, oh! It's about to begin
We all watched as the wedding was going accordingly, as they say a few words until it was about to reach to its end of the wedding ceremony.
Gladion: I, Gladion, take you, Valarie Zafirah Goodman, to be my wife. I promise to be true to you in good times and in bad, in sickness and in health. I will love you and honor you all the days of my life
Valarie: I, Valarie Zafirah Goodman, take you, Gladion, to be my husband. I promise to be true to you in good times and in bad, in sickness and in health. I will love you and honor you all the days of my life
They were now officially man and wife, Gladion kissed Valarie and we all applaud while Rocky and Lycanroc howled along with Ruth and Lapis. The Pokémon cheered and we and cheered along with them. We all headed to the party and celebrated Gladion and Valarie, my friends and I ran up to Valarie and hugged her while she hugged us back. Valarie let us go and walked up to the DJ as he handed her the mic, she stood at the center and gathered everyone's attention.
Valarie: May I have your attention please, before we begin I would like to have the children that have traveled through a very tough journey on discovering not just themselves, but to also battling their way to the finals and championships. My students, Victor, Gloria, Hop, Marnie, Bede, and Bella. You kids were remarkable during your Pokémon battles, I can't thank you children enough for letting me experience this amazing journey with you all. Which is why, for my final request, I want to have a Pokémon battle with you children, not just any Pokémon battle... A Wedding Battle, you will be paired with a partner to battle against me and Gladion, 2 v 2. What do you say kids? Wanna battle?
Bella: You bet!
Hop: Bring it on!!
Valarie: Alright, Victor and Marnie will be a pair, Bede and Bella will be a pair, and finally Hop and Gloria are a pair. You'll each get to choose one Pokémon to battle your way to victory
Valarie's Students: Only one?!
Valarie: Gladion and I will be using our wedded Pokémon too, right Rocky
Rocky [Lycanroc] Roc!
Gladion: It's only fair that they want in on this battle
Lycanroc: Lycan
Hop: Well I guess if I have to choose it would be you Dubwool
Gloria: I think Rapidash would do
Victor: I'm sticking with Inteleon
Marnie: Grimmsnarl will be my choice
Bede: Hatterene will do
Bella: And I'm going with Boo
Valarie: Alright kids, let's see who will get to baffle us first. Lou!
We watched as Lou and Zora appear with a wheel spinner as they spin the wheel and we watched it slow down and land on Gloria and Hop, they got to battle Valarie and Gladion first.
Bella: Good luck! Hop!!
Hop: Don't worry about me, this battle will end in a jiffy
Gloria: Yeah!!
Gloria and Hop stood across the field from Valarie and Gladion as they had their Pokémon out and ready while Valarie's father referee.
Harry: The tag team battle between the husband and wife vs Gloria and Hop, will now!!! Begin!!!
Valarie: Rocky!! Let's start this up with a Rock Throw!!
Rocky [Lycanroc]: Awoooooooooo!!!!!
Hop: Dubwool, dodge and attack Gladion's Lycanroc with Headbutt
Gladion: Lycanroc!! Bite!!
Lycanroc avoided the attack as he bit Dubwool, causing a bit of damage, Bede, Victor, Marnie, and I watched the battle go on as Hop and Gloria were close but didn't make it through as Rocky and Lycanroc work together and take out Dubwool and Rapidash. Up next was Bede and I battling against Valarie and Gladion, we stood across the field as Valarie and Gladion got ready to battle.
Harry: The tag team battle between the husband and wife vs Bella and Bede, will now!!! Begin!!!
Bede: Hatterene, use Psycho Cut!!
Valare: Rocky, dodge-
Bella: Don't think so, use Shadow Sneak Boo!
This surprised Valarie when the shadow behind Rocky revealed an extended claw and attack Rocky, knocking her far while Lycanroc rushed forward to check on Rocky.
Gladion: Big mistake!! Lycanrock, use Rock Throw
I gasped as Lycanroc used Rock Throw to attack Boo and Hatterene, when suddenly the rocks started floating in midair as Hatterene was using Psychic to keep them from hitting them and sending the rocks back to hit both Lycanroc. Sure enough, they barely dodged it since Hatterene was using Psychic to move the rocks.
Bella: Boo, use Shadow Ball!!
Bede: Hatterene, use Dazzling Gleam!!
Valarie: Not this time!! Rocky!!
Gladion: Lycanroc!!
Valarie/Gladion: Dodge it and use Accelerock!!
Lycanroc and Rocky dodged the attack and used Accelerock to attack Hatterene and Boo, knocking Boo into Hatterene as they fall on the ground.
Valarie: Shall we, Gladion?
Gladion: We shall
Valarie/Gladion: USE STONE EDGE!!!!!
Rocky and Lycanroc both attacked at the same time, causing serious damage to both Hatterene and Boo as they fall unconscious and only respond to a groaning pain.
Harry: Boo and Hatterene are unable to battle, the Husband and Wife win
Bella: Awww~ we were so close
Bede: At least we had fun
Bella: [giggles] We sure did
Valarie: Well, looks like Victor and Marnie are the last one~ let's see if the champion and his "girlfriend" can take down the bride and groom
Victor: [blushes] G-G-Girlfriend?!
Valarie: I'm just teasing you, c'mon you two, the guest are getting hungry
Victor: Yeah!! We can do this Marnie!!
Marnie: Yeah!!
Victor and Marnie stepped up as they battled Valarie and Gladion head on, the battle was intense when Gladion almost got Lycanroc, but at the last minute Marnie needed help and Victor sacrificed the win by having Inteleon to save Grimmsnarl, only to be defeated by Lycanroc and Rocky. The power Pokemon couple and their trainer wedded couples.
Harry: Well done kids, you may have not won the battle but at least you had fun
Victor: Yeah, sorry for making us lose Marnie
Marnie: It's okay, at least it shows that you care for your teammates
Victor: [blushes] Y-Y-Y-Yeah, of course!!
[Bella and Gloria giggling]
Valarie: Kids, Gladion and I have something to tell you
Hop: We're all ears
Valarie: Well, Gladion and I have been thinking and since Aether Foundation wants to expand their horizons and help even more Pokemon, we decided to move here in the Galar Region
Valarie's Students: REALLY???!!!!!
Valarie: Yup, and it gets even interesting, I was offered an opportunity to travel to the Isle of Armor to meet a wonderful Dojo Master. In fact, I wrote to him that I have six wonderful, talented, and bright minded students that would be interested in traveling to the Isle of Armor and go to the Master Dojo
Hop: Really?! Oh wow!!
Gloria: That's amazing!!
Bella: So cool!!
Valarie: Well, what do you say? Wanna travel to the Isle of Armor, there's even more Pokemon that you probably haven't seen either, well mainly Bella has seen them before so it'll be a first for the five of you
Victor: Count me in!!!
Gloria: Me too!!!
Bella: Well, I do have my duties as a gym leader
[footsteps... footsteps]
Kabu: Go ahead, Bella. I insist
Bella: Grandpa!
Kabu: I'll watch over the gym, you go and have fun. It could be a good experience and help you along the way, you can even train there too
Bella: Okay, I'll go
Opal: Bede will go too, my pupil will get to experience the wonders of the Isle of Armor and train to be even stronger
Bede:... Yes, I'll show them the power of pink
Opal: [chuckles] You certainly will
Piers: You okay with going, Marnie?
Marnie: [pout] I'm not a little child, big bro. I can handle it, I'll go too
Hop: I wish I could go, but I have my research project with Sonia
Sonia: That's okay, Hop. In fact, the research project is at the Isle of Armor, so it's okay for you to go
Hop: Really?! Thanks!!
Valarie: Then it's settled, after me and Gladion's honeymoon we'll take you kids to the Isle of Armor, in the meantime spend as much free time until we return
Gloria: Awww~ we're really gonna miss your presence here
Valarie: I'll be back kids, I promise
We all enjoyed the wedding and ate the wedding cake, while chatting with Valarie's friend and even friends she made all around the region. Victor got to battle with Ash which was pretty cool and intense, but Victor won and Ash congratulated him. The party went on, until the girls and I had an idea so we got the boys and told them our idea as we asked the DJ for some microphones as he handed them to us and we all spoke in front of the guest.
Bella: Everyone, we want to say a thank you to Valarie for teaching us, everything we need to know about Pokemon
Hop: We're very grateful to have her around and she taught us how to care
Gloria: How to appreciate the Pokemon we have
Victor: How to give it our all in battle
Bede: How to appreciate all the nice things that has been given to us and to be kind to others
Marnie: And how to use our voice
Bella: And for that, we thank you. So we wanted to sing this song to you, as our Journey starts today.
[Song: The Journey Starts Today by Walk Off The Earth/Theme from Pokemon Journey]
[Victor]
The journey starts today
The journey starts today
[Hop]
It's a big, big world, but you know where to find me
We'll be together, and we're gonna do it our way
We'll discover we believe in each other
On adventures with my friends like every day
[Bede]
Dawn's rising over the horizon
To shine a light on what the day ahead is hiding
We'll stick together, leaping into the deep-end
The adventure only ends when another begins
[Victor]
And we're already on our way
[Victor/Bede/Hop]
The journey starts today
The journey starts today
[Bella]
Far from home, but we're never feeling lonely
Headstrong stepping headlong into the dark
[Gloria]
Hold on 'cause we're heading there on our own
Whatever happens in the end will forever be changed
[Marnie]
Imitate us, but you won't intimidate us
We keep 'em looking for another way to break us
[Bella]
Because we know if there's a will, there's a way back up
Win or lose, we can choose to be never the same
[Gloria]
And we're already on our way
[Gloria/Bella/Marnie]
The journey starts today
The journey starts today
[Hop]
If I lose my grip, will you be there to pick me up?
[Bella]
If I gotta run, will you be coming with me up?
[Bede]
'Cause I got your back and you got mine
[Bede/Bella/Hop]
And there's nothing that can stop us now
[Hop]
If all else fails, will you help me when I lose my way?
[Gloria]
Set your sails, to be ready for the winds of change
[Valarie's Students]
Cause the journey starts today
The journey starts today (Gloria/Marnie/Bella: the journey starts today)
The journey starts today (Gloria/Marnie/Bella: the journey starts today)
The journey starts today
The guest applauded and cheered as Valarie teared up and came up to us so she could give us all a hug, along with Gladion. We all smiled and hugged Valarie and Gladion back. We were gonna miss them for a while but know they'll be back from their honeymoon. Afterwards it was time for Valarie and Gladion to leave for their honeymoon and was about to bid us a farewell until it was time for the bouquet toss, the girls gathered around and was waiting for Valarie to toss it, when she did we all tried our best until it landed on Marnie's hand. We all congratulated her when we noticed Victor blushing but also feeling nervous when he felt Piers death glares on him, poor Victor. The party was over and we helped clean up, and went home for the day. I changed into my pjs and slept on my bed with Nico and Ruth napping next to me while Boo floated in her sleep and Silvally slept next to my bed. Isle of Armor, get ready.
Bella: I wonder what we'll expect in the Isle of Armor, who knows
Narrator's P.O.V
With all Valarie's students anticipating the new journey ahead of them, our heroes rest up as they will spend their days training, relaxing, and improving their Pokemon skills as they prep themselves for their new journey to the Isle of Armor, until Valarie and Gladion return from their honeymoon the heroes will enjoy their vacation together. As the journey continues.
Hi everyone, sorry for the absolute late update but a lot has happened to me. Bad break ups, writers block, new fanfics, got a new iPad to help me with my fanfic, and Anime Frontier. In addition to also getting news that my older sister has a third child and in hopes to see them in person, but for now I am back and I can't wait to update more as Bella will now journey to the Isle of Armor and who knows where else, maybe even develop feels for a trainer she has grown close to. Thank you all for the love and support, I love the comments you leave me on this fanfic, and I hope to upload the next one soon.
Sincerely, AnimeLoverMurillo
