AUTHOR'S NOTES:
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to another update of Alpha and Omega. I don't have any announcements, so let's get started.

If you like my work please vote, feel free to comment, and please share this story with your friends. I now present to you chapter 27, enjoy.

Two days ago, Ash and Serena left Sevilla for the coastal city of Huelva. There, Ash was to have a battle for his fourth gym badge, and the young couple were going to enjoy a short break from their travels. The journey between Sevilla and Huelva should only be a three day walk, so they should arrive sometime close to sunset, that is if they ever wake up.

It is morning, and Ash and Serena were still sleeping in their tent, with their arms wrapped around each other. Their sleeping bags were opened up, with one on top and one on the bottom so they could still sleep together. They slept in only their under garments, as they didn't have sex, but not because they didn't want to. The reason they didn't was because of their Sylveon and Pikachu, who were curled up together on a pillow off to the side. Next to them were their two eggs inside the incubators.

Even though they weren't humans, Ash and Serena didn't want to be intimate in front of their Pokémon. Wild Pokémon weren't modest. If they wanted to mate they would, regardless of where they were or who was around. Captured Pokémon tended to adopt the mindset of their trainers on the subject, and prefer a degree of privacy. Ultimately Pikachu and Sylveon didn't mind if Ash and Serena wanted to be intimate, but understood why they didn't.

This did cause a little sexual tension between the young couple, which resulted in some playful teasing. This started with Serena rubbing her butt on Ash while they were in the spooning position, which resulted in Ash groping one of Serena's breast through her bra. In the end they both stopped as they were both on the brink of losing their minds, and Ash wished Pikachu was at least ok with sleeping inside his pokeball.

"Beep Beep Beep," went one of the incubators.

Sylveon raised her head and looked around, as she thought she heard a noise.

"Beep Beep Beep," went the other incubator.

Sylveon shot her head over to the eggs as she heard the incubator beep.

"Did I hear a noise?" Pikachu asked groggily as he sat up.

"I think our eggs are hatching," Sylveon stated as she stared at the eggs.

Pikachu was now fully alert and staring at the eggs intensely. Both Sylveon and Pikachu watched the eggs, their eyes moving back and forth between them. Then they saw one of the eggs shake. Pikachu and Sylveon gasped as smiles formed on their faces. Then the other shook, doubling their joy. Pikachu ran on top of Ash and started jumping back and forth between him and Serena, trying to wake them up, but they didn't. Pikachu then looked to Sylveon.

"What do you think? Should I shock them? It will hurt Serena too," Pikachu asked his mate.

Sylveon looked over at Serena. She didn't like the idea of hurting Serena, but she wasn't waking up either and she knew Serena would want to be there for this.

"Just a little shock, because of Serena," Sylveon replies.

Pikachu nodded, then looked down at the sleeping trainers as his cheeks sparked.

"Pika-chu!" Pikachu said as he hit them both with a weak thundershock.

"AHHHH!" Ash and Serena cried as they were hit.

"What's the big idea Pikachu?!" Ash asked angrily.

Frantically, Pikachu pointed at the eggs. Then as if on cue, one of the eggs shook.

"The eggs are hatching, we need to get them out of the incubators," Serena said urgently.

Ash and Serena scrambled up and removed the eggs from the incubators. They then placed the eggs on the sleeping bags and opened the tent to let more light in. The eggs were starting to crack now. Ash and Serena stepped back as Pikachu and Sylveon got right up front, ready to welcome their babies into the world. The eggs continued to shake and crack, then Ash's phone rang. Quickly and without looking, Ash picked it up and answered as an audio call.

"Who ever this is, I'm kind of in the middle of something here," Ash said, not knowing who he was talking to.

"Ash this is Professor Oak. Are the eggs hatching?" He asked urgently.

"Yes," Ash replied.

"Could you please switch this over to video so I can watch?" Oak asked.

Ash didn't say a word, and pressed the button and pointed the screen towards the miracle of life happening right in front of them. The eggs continued to shake and crack for about another minute. Then one of the eggs fell over and the top fell off, then the other did the same, except the top didn't fall off. But not a second later the, top flew off as an Eevee charged at it, breaking it off and continued running until he bumped into Pikachu. The Eevee bounced off of his yellow electric type father and landed on his stomach. He looked up at Pikachu, curious as to what he hit.

"Hello son, I'm your dad," Pikachu replied with a smile.

Meanwhile Sylveon was at the other egg, as another Eevee was just looking out from the opening.

"Hello my little one, I'm your mother," Sylveon said in a soothing tone.

The little Eevee slowly stepped out of the egg and looked up at her mother. Sylveon towered over her, but gave a warm loving smile that put her at ease. She began to walk over to her mother, but was stopped by her brother pouncing on her.

"Hi, who are you?" He asked excitedly.

His sister shook as she was scared by the new individual on top of her.

"That's your sister, so please get off of her," Pickachu said as he ran over and pulled him off.

"Hi there, I'm your dad. Sorry about your brother, he seems to be a little ball of energy, and is very excited," Pikachu said with a smile to his daughter.

"Hey, who is this?" the male Eevee said as he ran around Sylveon's legs.

"I am your mother," Sylveon replied as he weaved in around her legs.

Sylveon watched her son for a moment, then wrapped one of her feelers around him and picked him up. She then placed him next to his sister as Pikachu helped her back up.

"Now both of you. I am your mother, and this is your father. We are your parents," Sylveon explained as she gestured to Pikachu.

"Now matter how many times I see that, it will never get old," Professor Oak said over the phone.

The two new Eevee, now realizing they weren't alone looked up at Ash, Serena, and the Professor on the phone curiously.

"W-w-ho are they?" The female Eevee asked nervously.

"Hi Eevees. My name is Ash, and this is Serena. I guess you could say we're part of your family. And the face on my phone here is Professor Oak. He wanted to see you two hatch," Ash replied.

"EEVEE!" "eevee." The two Eevee replied, the female one more quiet and the male excitedly.

"Even as newly hatched, their personalities are so different. Ash, Serena, please have Nurse Joy send me all of her findings when she checks them out when you get to a Pokémon Center," Professor Oak stated.

"Ok, no problem Professor. Well we better get moving, we'll talk to you later. Bye," Ash stated.

"Of course, talk to you later," Professor Oak said, then ended the call.

————————————————————————

Upon completing the phone call with the Professor, Sylveon and Pikachu took their newly hatched Eevees out of the tent so Ash and Serena could get dressed, and let them see the world around them. After getting dressed, Ash and Serena let their Pokémon out of their pokeballs so they could meet the new additions. All of the Pokémon introduced themselves in the nicest way possible, even Fearow, although both Eevee agreed, he was the scariest.

Ash was training with his Pokémon, while Serena was making breakfast, and most of her Pokémon were playing with the Eevees. The only two who weren't was Rapidash, who felt he was too big and might hurt one of them, and Braixen, who was helping Serena with cooking. They were playing with a ball, running around and bouncing it. Swablu, being the closest in age to the new Eevees, was having a blast. With all the other Pokémon being so much older, she enjoyed having some more young Pokémon to play with. The male Eevee, being more curious and adventurous, quickly warmed up to Serena's Pokémon. The female Eevee took a little longer, as she was more cautious, but the playing helped.

They were bouncing the ball back and fourth, until it flew over the male Eevee's head and further away.

"I'll get it," He announced, and ran after it.

"Breakfast is ready," Serena announced.

Ash and his Pokémon stopped their training and came to the table the food was at. Pikachu ran up to Sylveon and his daughter.

"Hey Pikachu," Sylveon said as he ran up.

"Hello Sylveon," Pikachu replied.

They nuzzled a little, then licked each other. Pikachu then looked down at his daughter and nuzzled her cheek.

"And hello to you to daughter," Said Pikachu.

"Hi daddy," She replied.

Pikachu then noticed his son wasn't there, and Sylveon was looking out into the forest.

"Where's our son?" Pikachu asked.

"He ran off after the ball right before breakfast was called, but he hasn't come back yet," Sylveon replied.

Pikachu then smelled the air, and then had a terrified look on his face, which Sylveon saw.

"Pikachu what is it?" Sylveon asked in a worried tone.

"I smell other humans," Pikachu replied, then took off running.

————————————————————————

Meanwhile, deeper in the forest, a young male trainer, about thirteen years old, with short bright orange hair, was walking down the trail. Then out of no where a red ball bounced onto the path, next came a small Eevee.

"Oh wow, an Eevee," the said excitedly to himself.

Eevee heard the trainer and looked over at him, to see him pull a pokeball off of his belt.

"Aipom time to battle," the trainer said as he released the purple monkey like Pokémon.

Eevee looked up at the Aipom nervously, he didn't know why, but he had a bad feeling about this. He started to step back, he was about to run and forget about the ball all together. Suddenly Pikachu burst out from the bushes, his cheeks sparking violently as he stood in front of his son in a defensive manner. Both Aipom and it's trainer became very scared by Pikachu's behavior.

"Aipom use swift," the trainer commanded.

But Aipom didn't move, his eyes were fixed on Pikachu's. The look in Pikachu's eyes could make any Pokémon less than a legendary nervous. This look wasn't normally seen in a Pokémon, especially not a small Pokémon. This look told Aipom that if he made the wrong move, it might be his last. Aipom knew if things got rough his trainer would recall him and send someone else, but he worried if his trainer would be fast enough. Not for his own safety, but for his trainers, as every instinct he had told him that if his trainer was left open, Pikachu would go after him next.

"Son, if they attack you need to run back to the others as fast as you can. I'll stay here and hold them back," Pikachu told his son.

"O..o..ok," his son replied, sounding nervous for the first time.

Aipom heard Pikachu's words, and now understood his behavior. He was a father protecting his son, and Aipom could tell that he could do it.

"Aipom attack with swift!" His trainer commanded again, not understanding why his Pokémon wouldn't listen.

"Pikachu, Eevee, where are you?" yelled out a familiar voice.

Suddenly Ash emerged through the bushes, with Growlithe and Riolu beside him.

"There you two are," Ash said sounding relieved.

"Wait those are yours?" Said the trainer.

"That's right. I take it you thought they were wild and was going to catch them," Ash deduced.

"That was the plan, however now that I see they have a trainer I guess that plan is out the window. Aipom, return," the trainer stated, then returned his Pokémon.

"Well, I guess it's good you showed up when you did. I would have felt guilty if I hurt someone else's Pokémon thinking they were wild," the trainer said looking at Ash. Then his eyes shifted to Pikachu, who was still looking at him in a threatening manner. "I do have to admit, that Pikachu is clearly a fighter. He must be really protective."

"Especially towards that Eevee, that's his son. He just hatched this morning," Ash stated.

"This morning? Tell me, have you captured it yet?" The trainer asked.

"No not yet," Ash replied.

"Well just a word of advise. You better do it soon and don't put it off. If my Aipom didn't hesitate and attacked, well I might not have been able to capture your Pikachu, but since Eevee isn't captured yet, I could have caught it, and there would have been nothing you could do about it," The trainer stated.

"Thanks for the tip," Ash replied in an annoyed tone.

"Hey, don't shoot the messenger. I'm just telling you next time you might not make it in time to stop the next guy," the trainer said as he held his hands out in front of himself.

The trainer then walked around Pikachu, making certain not to get any closer. Pikachu and the others kept their eyes on the trainer until his back was facing them and was walking away quickly. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief that this ended peacefully.

Ash walked over to Pikachu and Eevee, and held out a hand.

"Come on Eevee, I'll carry you back," Ash offered.

Eevee looked to Pikachu for his approval, Pikachu smiled and nodded. Eevee then climbed onto Ash's hand, as Pikachu took his place on Ash's shoulder. Ash then stood up as he moved Eevee closer to his chest and moved his other arm closer to Eevee in a protective manner. Riolu picked up the ball Eevee was after, and they made their way back to their camp. While unbeknownst to any of them, this was all heard by several individuals, who were less than honorable.

————————————————————————

Upon returning to the camp, Sylveon was overjoyed to see Eevee returned safely, while Ash explained to everyone what happened.

Everyone was now eating breakfast, but Serena noticed something was wrong. Ash was eating his food slowly, with an expression showing he was deep in thought.

"Ash, are you ok?" Serena asked.

"I was just thinking about what that trainer said, about capturing Eevee," Ash replied.

"Oh," Serena said, then looked at the little family eating together. "I never really gave it much thought before. I mean they are our Pokémon's children. I know it's common practice for trainers to capture the offspring of their Pokémon, but this just feels weird to me."

"Same here, but at the same time, maybe it's better if it's us. At least this way Sylveon and Pikachu will always have their children," Ash commented.

"And don't mention if we catch them, at least they will have trainers who will take their wants into consideration. If someone else captures them who knows what kind of trainer they could end up with," Serena added.

"We should talk to them about this. I'm sure they will let us capture them, but I'm sure Pikachu and Sylveon would like it if we didn't just expect that we were going to capture them," said Ash.

"Also I think I want to talk to Professor Oak before I would capture one of them," Serena added.

"Why?" Ash asked.

"I have six Pokémon now, and any more will go straight to Professor Sycamore in Kalos. Even if I rotate my Pokémon so Eevee doesn't go to the Professor's lab, one of my other Pokémon will end up there. I'm not saying it's a bad place, but I think they would probably like it better if they went somewhere where they had some friends," Serena answered.

"Ok I get it. Since my Pokémon are already at Professor Oak's, any of your Pokémon that go there will pretty much have friends already when they arrive," Ash concluded.

"Right. And I would like to rotate my Pokémon a little regardless. I was going to ask you this when we arrived in town, but I came up with an idea for my next performance, and I was wondering if I could borrow one of your Tauros?" Serena asked.

"That's fine with me. Also if we do capture the Eevees, I would want to make room on my team so they can stay here a little longer. I'm sure Pikachu and Sylveon would like the time with them both while they are so young," Ash replied.

Everyone finished their breakfast, then picked up the camp. Before they left, Ash and Serena talked to Sylveon and Pikachu about capturing their Eevees. They came to find out that Pikachu and Sylveon had already discussed this and told their children, who were trying to decide who each wanted to be captured by. But they had time to think, as it was decided that Ash and Serena would capture them that night after they arrived at the Huelva Pokémon Center.

————————————————————————

Ash and Serena were walking down the trail to Huelva, with the two Eevee walking freely in front of them, as Pikachu and Sylveon walked on either side of the young Eevees. They had been making good time, and as long as they kept the pace they were going, they would arrive at the Pokémon Center a little after dinner time.

They all walked down the trail happily as they watched the Eevees playing together. It was an adorable site that no one wanted to interrupt, but Pikachu and Sylveon would a little if they started to get ahead of the group. The words of the trainer from earlier rang loudly in everyone's ears. They all knew as long at the young Eevees stayed close they would be safe, and since they were going to arrive at the Pokémon center soon, this made them all feel better. Despite this though, everyone still remained alert.

Suddenly Pikachu's ears perked, getting Ash's attention. He used his aura to look around for anyone he couldn't see otherwise. There were plenty of Pokémon, and two humans whose aura showed they were up to no good. Then the ground started to shake.

"Everyone run!" Ash yelled.

With only a second of hesitation, they were all running as fast as they could. Suddenly the ground began to collapse under their feet, as bars shot up along their sides. When the dust settled they were all in a large cage inside an even larger hole.

"Ow, what happened?" Serena asked as she recovered from the fall.

"Looks like we fell into a trap," Ash replied as he also recovered.

"You don't think it's them do you?" Serena asked, even though she knew the answer, but didn't want to jinx him then.

"It can only be them," Ash replied

Just then the cage started to rise from the ground, as several unwanted voices were heard.

"If by them you mean us, then prepare for trouble."

"Our style stands out so well, so make it double."

"To protect the world from devastation."

"To unite all peoples within our nation."

"To denounce the evils of truth and love."

"To extend our reach to the starts above."

"Jessie."

"James."

"Team Rocket blasts off at the speed of light."

"Surrender now or prepare to fight."

"Meowth that's right."

"Wobbuffet!"

Team Rocket said from atop a large pick up truck, that appeared to have what looked like a double barrel cannon mounted in the bed.

"Oh for crying out loud, not you guys again," Ash groaned.

"Yes it's us," Jessie replied in an irritated tone.

"Who else could capture you with such flare," James added.

"Do you three have anything better to do? You've been following me for eight years. Put simply, I'm sick and tired of you guys," Ash said angrily.

"Oh please, you'd miss us if we'd left," said Meowth.

"Where would you be right now without us?" Said Jessie.

"And how many times have we helped you or saved your life?" James added.

"That last part is the only reason why I have tolerated you guys this long, but this shit is getting old," Ash replied.

"Well if it's getting old, how about something new," said James.

"You're going to witness us doing something that is not a crime," Jessie said.

"What do you mean?" Asked Serena nervously.

"Simple, we're going to capture two Pokémon," said Meowth with a despicable grin.

"We just happened to overhear that those Eevee with you haven't been captured yet, so we'll do that right now," James finished.

Everyone but Team Rocket gave a horrified look upon hearing this. Pikachu and Sylveon got in front of their Eevees in a defensive manner. Then, from the double barrel cannons, two mechanical hands attached to metal arms fired towards the cage. They passed through the bars, knocked Pikachu and Sylveon aside, and grabbed the two Eevees, then started to retract back.

Ash and Serena grabbed the two arms and held on as tight as they could, being slammed against the bars themselves as the arms tried to pull away. Being small enough to pass through the bars, Pikachu went outside the cage and proceeded to hit the arms with iron tail after iron tail, but they didn't break.

"You can hit those arms as much as you want, they'll never break," Meowth said confidently.

Just then the metal on one of the arms dented in, which was noticed by Team Rocket.

"Best not to take any chances," said Jessie.

"Agreed," added James.

The two them threw all of their pokeballs up into the air and released all of their Pokémon.

"All of you, take care of Pikachu and then get the twerp and twerpette off those arms," Jessie yelled to the Pokémon.

This was heard by everyone, including Pikachu, who stopped with the iron tails and faced his charging opponents. Pikachu's cheeks sparked as his tail remained glowing white. Ash and Serena were struggling just to keep ahold of the arms to keep the Eevees away from Team Rocket. Ash tried to reach for his Pokémon, but stopped as he felt his grip slipping. Sylveon had her feelers wrapped around both arms as well, using all her strength to keep her children away from Team Rocket.

Pikachu didn't have to look back to know that he was on his own now. His children were in danger of being taken by two of the most despicable humans he had ever met, and he was going to stop them. Pikachu took off running at blinding speed towards the dozen Pokémon before him as his body became covered in electricity. Mimikyu took the lead, ready to hit Pikachu with shadow claw. Then to the perspective of everyone Pikachu disappeared, then reappeared as his slammed into Mimikyu, sending him flying back. He then without skipping a beat shot himself at the next Pokémon, and then the next, and the next. Hitting them with a combination of agility with volt tackle, or an iron tail, bouncing from one target to the next as if he was a pinball.

Ash, Serena, and Sylveon were able to see this all unfold, and knew he wouldn't be able to hold out for very long. This was twelve on one, and it didn't matter how strong Pikachu was, or how angry or determined he was, he had limits and was no doubt going to hit them before these other Pokémon were all knocked out.

'Think Ash think. We need to stop Team Rocket from capturing these Eevees and help Pikachu. But if I let go to release a Pokémon then they'll get the Eevees,' Ash thought to himself.

Just then, Ash had an idea.

"Sylveon, I need you to let go with two of your feelers," Ash started.

"Ash what are you thinking?!" Serena yelled back.

"The only way to save these Eevees and help Pikachu is to make sure Team Rocket doesn't capture them. We both have six Pokémon so when we capture them they'll be teleported to a lab where they can be safe. Then we can deal with Team Rocket," Ash explained.

Sylveon heard and knew what she now needed to do. She removed one feeler from each arm and went to Ash and Serena's belts, and pulled and empty pokeball from each. She then enlarged them and brought them to her children.

"Don't resist when you're pulled in. Once the balls register you've been captured they'll teleport you away from here where it's going to be safe. Ash and Serena will bring you back when we get to the Pokémon Center," Sylveon explained to her children.

They both nodded and she tapped them on their heads with the pokeballs. They were sucked in and dinged almost instantly. Ash and Serena let go of the arms, allowing them to retract, as the two pokeballs disappeared in a white light.

"NO!" Jessie and James yelled in an angry tone.

"Now it's time to help Pikachu," Ash said as he and Serena released there other Pokémon.

"Alright everyone, hit these bars as hard as you can," Ash and Serena called out.

The eleven Pokémon launched their attacks and blew a big hole in the cage.

Pikachu was battling with everything he had. Carnivine was about to attack him from behind, when Carnivine was hit by a set of water shurikens. Greninja then landed beside Pikachu as he took a battle stance.

"This is more personal, I've got this," Pikachu said as he continued to battle.

"It's personal for all of us," Greninja replied.

"What are you talking about? Those are my children," Pikachu said back.

Just then a flamethrower went over his head and hit Inkay. Braixen then walked up as she fired another.

"Maybe so, but we're a family. So in a sense, your kids are our niece and nephew," Said Braixen.

Then Pancham hit Gourgeist with an arm thrust, and landed close by.

"And family takes care of family," Pancham added to Braixen's statement.

————————————————————————

"Umm, I'm having a bad feeling about this," James said in a concerned tone.

Ash and Serena's Pokémon made short work of Team Rocket's Pokémon. Most having been knocked out, and were then returned to their pokeballs.

"I think we get out of here while the getting is still good," Meowth added.

"Right, let's get out of here," said Jessie.

They returned their remaining Pokémon to their pokeballs while Meowth jumped into the cab of the truck and started the engine. Once all of their Pokémon were in their pokeballs Meowth put the truck in drive and floored it.

Pikachu saw them as they were getting ready to escape, but he wasn't letting them get away that easy.

"Greninja throw me at their truck," Pikachu said.

Without hesitating Greninja picked Pikachu up and threw him into the air. As Pikachu started to descend his tail glowed white. The rear tires of the truck were spinning as dirt was being flung up into the air. They however didn't move a foot before Pikachu slammed into the hood with iron tail, literally cracking the engine in half. The force also caused the truck to buck as the back came off the ground.

Team Rocket looked out of the front windshield to see Pikachu sitting on the significantly dented hood, smoke billowing out from the engine behind him, as his cheeks sparked with electricity. A look of terror was plastered across all of their faces as they saw Pikachu jump up and off the hood and shoot a bolt of electricity into the air. Dark clouds formed and another bolt came down and hit the truck, causing it to explode.

"Team Rocket is blasting off again!" They all cried out as they flew out of sight.

"Nice work everyone," Ash and Serena said praising their Pokémon.

"Alright, lets get moving. I'm sure both of the Eevees are a little scared right now," Serena stated.

Just then Ash's phone rang. He looked and saw it was Professor Oak, so he answered the video call.

"Hello Professor, good timing. We were actually going to be calling you soon," Ash stated.

"Yes, I figured you probably would call to check on the Eevees," Professor Oak replied.

"Wait, did you say Eevees, as in both?" Serena asked upon hearing his statement.

"That's why I called you first. Both Eevees are here and are doing fine. They were a little scared at first when we released them from their pokeballs, but I took them out to your Pokémon Ash. When I walked back inside, they were playing with Totodile," Professor Oak replied.

"But why did they both go to you? Mine should have gone to Professor Sycamore," Serena asked.

"Yes I was curious about that myself, so I checked your trainer profile. Apparently when you got your new Pokédex Professor Pine set my lab as the collection point for your excess Pokémon by mistake," explained Professor Oak.

"Well that works out good, I was actually planning on doing that myself anyway," said Serena.

"Excellent, we'll set up a space for your Pokémon in the lab. Now I'm guessing your both probably going to want the Eevees back soon correct?" Asked Professor Oak.

"Yes," Ash replied curiously as they both nodded.

"In that case, could you at least wait until morning, and perhaps send Sylveon for the night as well? Since I have them here, I'd like to just run the tests Nurse Joy was going to run, as well as a few others. Considering this is the first recorded incident of two eggs being laid at the same time, I'd like to collect as much data as possible," Professor asked hopefully.

Serena looked over at Sylveon, who heard the whole conversation, to see her response. Although it wasn't necessary as Sylveon nodded her head right away.

"We should be arriving at the Pokémon center in a few hours, I'll send Sylveon over when we arrive. Also, do you want their eggs? We saved them just in case," Serena replied.

"Yes please. I don't know how I'll get them yet, so if you could hold onto them for now I would appreciate it," Professor Oak replied.

The call ended and Ash and Serena returned all of their Pokémon except Pikachu and Rapidash. Then with the help of Ash, Rapidash's saddle was put on as Serena put on his reigns. Serena knew Sylveon was worried about her children and wanted to reunite with them as quickly as possible. Serena then mounted Rapidash and took hold of the reigns, as Ash climbed on behind her, wrapping his arms around Serena's waist and rested his head on her shoulder, causing Serena to blush a little. They then took off riding into the sunset.
