Chapter 20
The Chosen Protector

Guy paced back and forth in the room he was in.  He was sweating buckets and breathing heavily.
“Guy calm down, it’ll be fine.”
Guy never stopped but did spare a look over to the source of the voice.
“Give me one good reason I should calm down Ash.”
Ash chuckled, “I’ll give you two.  One, you’ll sweat through your tuxedo and we don’t have time to get you another one.  And two; you’re wearing a rut into the carpet.”
Guy stopped and looked down and sure enough, there was a nice groove on the rug that traced his pacing path.  Guy took a deep breath and sighed.
“Sorry Ash,” said Guy, “it’s just that I’m completely terrified right now.”
Another snicker sneaked out and Guy and Ash looked to Neo who was sitting in a chair by the window.
“The Chosen Protector…terrified?  It can’t be that bad.”
Guy just scoffed and counted on his finger, “I’ve fought against Missingno, legions of Team Galactic members, stood beside the world’s most powerful Legendaries, and fought against Darkrai.  But this…I’ve never felt such fear…and for no reason.”
“That’s normal,” interjected Ash.
“And just how is this normal?!”  
Ash just quirked an eyebrow at Guy.
“Oh yeah…that’s right.”
Guy gathered himself and took another deep breath.  He stole a look to Jazz who simply sat by the door silent yet he had an amused look on his face.  Guy was going to say something to him but at that moment Lios looked in.
“Hey it’s time to line up.”
With that Lios left and Jazz got up.
“Alright kiddies,” said Jazz with a grin, “time to get this show on the road.”
Guy, Ash, and Neo nodded and followed Jazz out and down the hallway.  As they walked Guy thought back to everything that led up to his current moment.  

It had been some months since the battle at Dawn Island.  Riley had been sent home and Kira had been buried on the island.  As for purifying Silver, Arcues relinquished Silver’s Pokeball and said that he would handle the matter.  Lias’s pregnancy had advance during the months afterwards as well.  Due to her Pokemon DNA, her pregnancy was accelerated by twice of that of humans effectively cutting nine months into roughly four and a half.  It was during that time that Guy and Lias bought some land on the southern coast of Sinnoh and with the help of the rest of the XDs, had a house built with the works.  Thanks to the Pokemon translators that Guy made, he put them into the market and they began to sell like hotcakes as Pokemon and their trainers began gaining a higher level of acceptance.  This effectively gave Guy a source of income and the Devon Corporation industrialized Guy’s invention while giving him and his beneficiaries a cut for each unit sold.  That anchored Guy’s income not only for his life but for future generations.  It was later on in that year, with his parents blessing, that Guy finally worked up the nerve to ask Lias for her hand in marriage.  Boy did he stumble into that but she loved him all the more for it and readily accepted.  They decided to wait until Lias gave birth before proceeding with the ceremony since they had no idea about how the child birthing process would go.  They didn’t have to wait long.  About four weeks after Guy proposed, Lias went into labor and was rushed to the hospital.  Luckily for Guy that the other XDs were there and they took action quickly because he was a nervous wreck and had only a hazy idea of what to do.   Lias gave birth to a beautiful girl whom she and Guy named Kyli Wozaki.  

And now four months later, he was in a cathedral with his friends and family fixing to be married.  Guy came into the main hall to see everyone sitting and waiting for the ceremony to begin.  On his side of the alter were Lios, Jango, Neo, Ash and the Best Man Q.  One the other side were the bridesmaids who were Latias and Blue; not as many as Guy’s side but no less important.  As the ceremony commenced, Guy got that queasy feeling in his stomach again but he felt Q’s hand on his shoulder.
“Just relax.”
Q’s words supported Guy as they always have and he took a deep breath as it came time for the bride to come out.  Everyone stood up and Guy looked down the aisle as Lias walked in escorted by Jazz.  It actually took a conscious effort for Guy to keep his jaw from hitting the floor.  Lias was dressed in a flowing white dress that enhanced every feature on her and a graceful white veil.  No doubts the ladies had a hand in picking out that dress.  Jazz brought Lias before Guy and handed her off to him.  Lias standing before him waiting to be wed to him was almost an overwhelming thought but that gentle smile of hers assured him that everything was ok.  The priest took his place at the altar and spoke in a very sincere tone.
“Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to witness the union of Guy and Lias in ceremony of marriage.  These two individuals have been through not only many trials individually but also together was well.  From battles to love these two have acted as one as any married couple would and from that view this ceremony is only a formality.  Does the Best Man have the ring?”
Q nodded and reached into his coat pocket to reveal a small black box and opened it to reveal a brilliant diamond ring and handed it to Guy.
The priest nodded and spoke again, “Now we will have the exchanging of vows.”
Guy looked into Lias’s eyes as he spoke in a very sincere tone, “Lias, this ring cannot even begin to compare of my love for you.  You’ve pulled me from the darkness many times and for that alone I’m grateful but you’ve also given me your heart and nothing can compare to that.  However I hope that with this ring you can be reminded of how brilliantly you shine in my heart.”
With that Guy slid the ring on Lias’s finger as Lias looked like she was on the brink of tears.  Lias then looked into Guy’s eyes and said her own vows.
“Guy, when I first met you I didn’t know what to make of you.  Steadily I felt my heart yearn for you and when we finally travelled together, I knew then that I loved you.  Your steadfast devotion and loyalty for your friends and family knows no bounds and I want to be there with you every step of the way.”
Guy gently smiled and nodded and the priest spoke up.
“Then do you, Guy, take Lias to be your wife.  To love and cherish till death do you part?”
“I do,” replied Guy with a smile.
“And do you, Lias, take Guy to be your husband.  To love and cherish till death do you part?”
“I do,” replied Lias.
“Then by the power invested in me, I pronounce you husband and wife.  You may kiss the bride.”
Guy lifted Lias’s veil and joined lips with hers as the audience burst into cheers.  As the couple proceeded down the aisle, Guy could see his dad gasping for air as his mother was squeezing the life out of him in fit of joy.  Guy turned to see Prof. Birch hand him a four month old Kyli as they walked pass.  Guy held her close but Kyli was sound asleep as if she were uninterested in the mere formality of marriage when Guy and Lias were at that point already.  Guy smiled as he held both his wife and his daughter.  His life with them would begin from here.  Just then, in the midst of the crowd, Guy saw a human form Arcues who put a finger to his mouth, the universal sign to keep quite.
{“Congratulations Chosen Protector,” said Arcues}
{“Arcues!” said Guy, “What are you doing here?”}
{“To deliver some news to you.  Silver is purified of the Shadow Energy and I sent him home.}
{Thank you.}
{Also as a wedding gift, I’ve done something for you and your new wife.  You and your wife shall mature into full adulthood and then at that time you lives will be linked.  Since Lias is immortal, why not make the husband so?  Also I’ve purified the XDs of their Shadow Energy.  A simple task considering they never used it.}
{“But what about Kyli?”}
{“Took care of that little one while she was in the womb.  Don’t thank me, I wanted to do it for you two.  Good luck with your lives.”}
With that Arcues disappeared and Guy and Lias exited the cathedral.  Guy smiled as he now headed off to his new life and his new existence with his daughter and wife in hand.

The End.
The end of the story is here. Scratch that off the things to do list.
