Chapter 6:  Ash and Misty’s Future: Confusion

Pikachu:  Pika pika, pika chu pika pika chu ((Ash, Ash!  Please wake up Ash!))

Togepi:  Prrriiiii Prrrriiii Prrriiiiiiii ((Wwwaaaaaahhhh))

Man:  Oh my, hey kid, kid, you awake!  Kid, are ya hurt.  Wake up kid.  Jessica go check the girl, try to wake her up.  Geez, these two look totally out.  Something must’ve happened.  Quick let’s get them inside.

Woman:  Alright I got her, James.

Once inside a house Ash and Misty found themselves lying on sofas.

Ash:  Oww my head.  Oh my gosh, Misty!  Misty where are you!

Misty:  Right here Ash.  Ash, where are we?

Ash stood up, his vision came back and his head still hurt pretty bad.  He looked around to see where he was.

Ash:  I don’t know.  Last thing I remember was . . . Pikachu.  Pikachu where are you?

Pikachu:  Chu.  ((Here))

Ash:  Oh Pikachu you’re alright.

Pikachu:  Pikachu ((ofcourse))

Misty:  Look Ash, look at that picture over on the fireplace.

Ash:  It can’t be . . . it’s . . . it’s . . .

Misty/Ash :  Team Rocket!!

*****

The subway traveled to the dumpsite, it stopped and the Rocket workers got out a pulled on a switch to dump the trash.  They got back on and the subway left.  Brock emerged from the trash furious.

Brock:  In all my life I have never been treated so dirty! Gaaaahhhhhhhh!!

After he screamed out his frustration and brushed off a banana peel off his head he realized Ash and Misty were still in Rocket Headquarters.

Brock:  Oh no, they’re still in there.  I gotta get back and find them.

He sniffed around him.

Brock:  But first a bath.

Just then a hill of unstable rubbish near him started to move and collapsed on top or Brock covering him again.

Brock:  Make that a double bath.  Hey, it’s the rice pot that I lost during the time we met Todd.

*****

Back in the future, Ash and Misty were inspecting the pictures around them.

Misty:  Here’s one of James and Jesse standing behind a waterfall.

Ash:  Here’s another one with them at the beach.

Misty:  Do you think they got married or something?

Ash:  I don’t know.

Sound of footsteps coming downstairs and into the living room.

Jessica:  Oh you’re awake.  Are you alright?  You two looked pretty hurt out there.

Ash:  Huh what?  Jessie?

Jessica:  Yeah that’s my name.  Do I know you?

Ash and Misty had stupid and confused expressions on their faces with a giant sweatdrop.

Jessica:  You do look familiar.

Ash:  Um sure.  Well, I think Misty and me are gonna go now.  Thanks for your hospitality Jessie.

Ash pushed Misty right out the door and out, he waved good bye and closed the door.

Jessica:  Bye.  Cute children.

James walked downstairs holding a first aid kit.

James:  Okay I got it.  Hey where did they go?

Jessica:  They left already.  I think they just had a mid summers nap out in the field.

James:  Oh.  Jessica I’m just wondering.  That boy with the cap, does he look like . . .

Ash and Misty left the house and once outside Ash stopped and gazed in amazement, he’s in Pallet.

Ash:  It’s Pallet!  My hometown!  It’s actually Pallet.

Misty:  Wow.  It’s exactly what you said it would be.  But how did we get all the way over here?  And why is Team Rocket here?

Ash:  Who cares!  This is great!  Let’s go look around!

In the excitement Ash grabbed Misty’s hand and started to walk around.  Misty felt odd, when did Ash ever wanted to hold her hand with no reason at all but to look around, but it was nice.

Ash:  Let’s go visit Prof. Oak.  No my friends.  No even better, let’s go visit my mom.  Oh mom is going to be so happy to see me.

Ash almost took Misty’s arm off but she ran with him there.  He was very excited and could hardly wait to see . . .

Ash:  Mom!  Mom!  I’m home Mom!

He pushed on the doorbell repeatedly, excited to see his mom.  The door opened but it wasn’t his mom.

Man:  Yes?  May I help you?

Ash:  Hey!  What are you doing in my house!  Where’s my mom!

The confusion racked Ash, this seemed like the right house, no he was certain it was his house.

Man:  What, huh?  What are you talking about, this is my house.  Say, is that a Pokemon League cap?

Ash:  Yeah why?

Man:  That’s exactly the one I wore in my teenage life.

Ash:  Oh whatever, I want to know is, what are you doing here?

Man:  Here?  Why I live here!  There is my home.

Ash:  No this is my house!  Mine!  Where’s my mom!

Ash just barged in right passed the man.

Ash:  Mom where are you mom!

The man stood at the door starring outside and pretending to invite Ash in.

Man:  Um, why don’t you come right in.  No go ahead, don’t have to ask really.  I just love having strange little boys and girls walk into my house.

Ash looked all over, it did look like his house, the structure, but some things around were different, minor things.

Man:  Wow you even have my jacket that I wore.

Ash:  Who cares about my stinking clothing!  I want to see my mom!

Man:  Exactly the same look, same voice too.  Hey kid you remind me of me.

Ash:  You, why would I want to be you!  You look like a dork!  Mom ya here!

Man:  Even has the attitude.  What’s your name kid?

Ash:  Huh!  Well I’m Ash from Pallet!  This is Misty.

Man:  Ash huh.  Tell me kid, are you just trying to be me or really is your name Ash.

Ash:  What are you talking about, who are you?

Adult Ash:  Why I’m Ash from Pallet.  Number one Pokemon Master.

Ash:  Yeah right!  You’re trying to be like me!

Adult Ash:  Nope, you are.  Here’s my Masters License.

Adult Ash took out his wallet and showed it to Ash.

Pokemon Masters License, Name Ash Ketchum, home town Pallet, by this license shows that this trainers has defeated the elite four and has the right of being called a Pokemon Master.

Ash:  WHAT!?

Adult Ash:  I told you kid.  I’m the real Ash.  You probably want a pokemon battle now huh?

Wife:  Hang on a minute there dear?

Ash *thinking* :  Who’s that?

Wife:  Don’t have any more Pokemon battles in the house, I just moped.  Go outside and do it.

Adult Ash:  Sure thing hun.  Ready for a pokemon battle kid?

Ash:  Um sure.  I guess.

Feeling confused Ash just went along and maybe if this person was really a pokemon master he could see how well he would fair up against him.

Adult Ash:  Be right there in a minute, I’m just gonna keep tradition.

Ash:  Huh?

Adult Ash:  Just wait outside for me.

Ash and Misty waited outside for the moment.  They leaned against a tree and conversed on what was going on.

Misty:  So how did we get in Pallet?

Ash:  I don’t know.  Maybe that weird thing back in Team Rocket Headquarters was just one really big Pokemon transport computer.

Misty:  Maybe.  So what about that guy.

Ash:  I don’t know.  I’m pretty sure that’s my house.  And taking my name.  I bet just a relative that wants to be me!

Misty:  And the wife?

Ash:  She’s beautiful.

The door opened and there was the man in a black shirt, blue jacket, jeans, biker gloves, and a pokemon league cap.

Adult Ash:  Alright, let’s go kid.  How many pokemon?

Ash:  Huh?  (Ash had a giant sweatdrop along with a confused look, but he shrugged it off)  Three pokemon each!

Adult Ash:  Fine.  I’m ready.  Go Charizzard!

Ash:  I choose you Charizzard!

They both did their cap thing and threw their pokeballs out.  At the same time both Charizzards appear ready to battle.
