Everyone in the house awoke early the next morning, they all wanted to head out to have an early start, however, Ash did not want to get out of bed.
"Come on Ash you need to get up. We are leaving soon." Latias said to her mate. She hated it when Ash got like this, sometimes he wouldn't get out of bed for hours.
"Don't want to." Ash moaned, he was still half asleep so his speech was slurred.
"Well if you won't get up then I may have to kiss Gary." Latias said. She knew that this would get Ash up, she had learned very early on that Ash was very protective her as well as the rest of their family.
As soon as she said this Ash jumped up from the bed, grabbed her, and pulled her down onto his lap. "You will do no such thing, you are my girlfriend and should only be touched by me," Ash growled out. He hated it when others touched Latias, he didn't mind Gary as much because he knew that he would not try anything, but others got on his nerves. One time in the market a man came up to Latias and said that she was hot, he then slapped her behind, Ash got so mad that the man had left with a broken and bleeding nose.
"Aw, I love it when you get possessive. But we have to go, Ash, you are leading us to remember so hurry up." With that, Latias kissed Ash quickly before getting up and leaving the room.
Ash had to smile at the girl, she had adjusted to being a human very well and she had adjusted to being a girlfriend well too. He couldn't have fallen for a better girl.
Ash quickly got dressed, he was looking forward to the trip as well, while he loved settling down in a home it is not something that was easy for him, he had always dreamed of traveling the world and looking for pokemon. Now he was fulfilling that dream with his true friends and family, though he thinks of all of them as his family.
They all met at the front of the house. "Right Altomare is also known as the City of Water, this means that there is a high chance most of the pokemon we catch here will be water pokemon, there are some flying pokemon also. There is not much forest so grass, ground, and a few others will not be here." Ash explained to his group. "When we leave we go as a group as well as a family, wherever one goes the others go. No one is left behind." Ash finished. Once everyone nodded their heads they headed out of the doors, Ash locked the door and walked down the drive. When they reached the end of the drive they all turned back to the house that they had bought together but only lived in for a couple of months.
They headed off to the outskirts of Altomare to look for pokemon.
Their first month could have gone better.
It had been a while since any of them had been out in nature and they had to remember what it was like. This was how the day was, Ash was explaining what to do and what not to do when they were out like this, what the dangers were and how to deal with them, what you could eat and what you couldn't eat, and showing Latias what everything was, since she didn't go out of her garden much Latias did not know what most of the things were.
By the end of the week, everyone had caught a flying type large enough to carry them and at least six other pokemon.
It had now been a week and it was time for them to move to Alola, but there was one more thing he wanted to show everyone once more.
Ash led his family to the tallest building in Altomare. "Everyone this is the last time we will see Altomare for a while, I wanted to bring you here to remind that no matter where we go or for how long we go, this will always be our home," Ash said as he gestured his family to look, they all gasped.
It gave them the perfect view of their whole city, all of the shops, all of the buildings, the people that were out on the streets, and even their own home at the back.
"There is one other reason I brought you all here," Ash said as he walked over to Latias. He reached into his bag and pulled out a box, he then got on one knee causing Latias to gasp. She had been taught all about human culture and she knew that what Ash was going to ask her was the human equivalent of forever. "Latias I loved you when I first arrived here years ago, I loved you throughout all my journeys and I love you now. I hurt you and yet you still took me back and you still loved me, I got a second chance with you and I don't want to waste it. You are my life now, as is my new family, so will you do me the honor of marrying me and becoming my wife?" Ash asked. By now he was bright red, it was a little nerve-racking to be doing this in front of his family.
Latias gasped, this was a dream come true. "Yes, Ash!" Latias squealed. Ash stood up and put the gorgeous ring on her finger, Latias then jumped Ash and kissed him.
"Come on you two lovebirds, we are leaving in 10 minutes," Gary said, but he had a smile on his face.
They all looked back at Altomare, their home, and said goodbye to it as they would not see it for a long time.
Ash was happy. He had a family, he had a fiancé, he had pokemon and he was going to get even more pokemon, and he couldn't wait to compete in the Alolan League.
"Mew came on out," Ash said while realizing a small white happy pokemon. "Please take all of us to Alola."
