Aftermath An aftermath what does that word mean its one thing that everybody wishes it would not happen the war after the war or more basically its effects, after a major event has occurred it leaves in its place scars and memories left over. Leaving its mark printing an impact from its long gone place the atomic bomb left a destructive impact on the world as the deadliest weapon made, but times have changed there are stronger weapons and stronger effects. From last we saw of Ash Misty and Brock our traveling trio of trainers they had survived the deadly battle with Mewthree the mutant cyborg Pokemon, and his horde of Doomsday drones winning the Pokemon Alien War. Many lives were claimed during the war not all seen some fighting till their death, Pokemon and humans working together to fight for their well deserved freedom. The war thankfully was won but its effects have destroyed Ash emotionally and mentally in wounds so strong he might never recover from, with the death of Mewthree also fell upon Michael Lugia Mewtwo. Most of all the death of his great father known as the madman Giovanni yet to Ash, he was the bravest and greatest man alive Max Ketchum saved the world. After landing from the space ship explosion Ash and Misty slept the night away at a hotel only to have the poor water trainer's heart broken, the next day finding a note that Ash and Pikachu had ran off to finish his journey. From that very day no one has seen or heard of the Pallet boy with his powerful Pikachu but still each day and night Misty cries at the night sky, preying and wishing that one day her love would return that day is today. It has been 3 very long years since Ash and Pikachu left after the war ended, and many things have happened for one Brock had unfortunately left Misty. Without Ash he felt it was time for he too to go on and full fill his dream of becoming the world's best Pokemon breeder last sight of the rock trainer, he had met Prof. Ivy on the Orange islands and she still now aids Brock's quest. Though not left alone totally Misty soon met a younger boy by the name of Tracey a Pokemon watcher also from Orange islands a Pokemon watcher, a person who sketches Pokemon around the world Tracey himself is a big fan. Of Prof. Oak so convincing him to join Misty was no sweat at all meanwhile Team Rocket had finally been arrested Butch Cassidy Gary and May, were all arrested by Officer Jenny as soon as the ship exploded scattering about. Jesse James and Meowth were heartbroken about Ash's departure as well but luckily for their bravery they were made model citizens of Pallet Town, speaking of Pallet it had undergone serious reconstruction from the war. Particularly Ash's house to this day has still not been rebuilt but for now Ash's mom Misty and Tracey sleep in a hotel waiting for Ash and Pikachu, to return though news had traveled fast there and all of it was good news. Apparently Ash had finally succeeded his life long dream he had became the world's greatest Pokemon master battling all in the Pokemon league then, facing the Elite 4 and ultimately succeeding at beating the Orange crew too. It seems everything he had dreamed of had come true but everything he wanted still can't be done for his father Mewtwo and Lugia are forever gone, but yet someone is standing on the hill of Pallet town this very morning. Feeling the sun warm his blue jacketed back as he straightens his green gloves fixing forward his red and white Pokemon league hat ragged jeans, dirty sneakers green back pack and his best friend Pikachu beside his leg. The mysterious boy hopped onto his brand new ocean blue bicycle pedaling down the dirt hill to Pallet town gently whispering to his Pikachu "Home", "Pikachu" he replied happily as both stayed as silent and quiet as possible. The houses and stores flashed across his hazel eyes like small dots of color seeing brick by brick being put into Pallet town still not fully reconstructed, if memory served him right he remembered the hotel they were staying at. The young boy and his Pikachu stepped into the hotel as the sun rose to the top of the sky the boy walked up to the bookkeeper politely asking the girl, "Excuse me miss but can you please tell us Misty William's room number?" Meanwhile up in that very room number 212 a groggy Misty greets the new day with a gentle yawn as her baby Togepi sprouted from his poke egg shell, "Ah good morning Togepi sleep well?" "Togi, togi" he said meaning yes. She giggled as Tracey was already up out on the balcony Misty gasped "Oh Tracey you scared the daylights out of me what are you doing up early?", the black haired boy sketched smiled brushing his green T-shirt and light blue shorts. As he sketched his heart out at a very beautiful and graceful flying Butterfree he turned and smiled at Misty in her bubble-designed pajamas, "Morning Misty well watchers all know Pokemon come out at certain times. And to get the right time to get their pose you gotta be up and early you'd be surprised how wonderful Pokemon look in the sunlight like this Butterfree", he pointed with his pencil as the elegant purple Pokemon floated around. Misty walked to the window and smiled a gentle smile as the sun glistened in her deep sea eyes looking at the Butterfree "Awe that's o cute look at it, that Butterfree is doing his courtship dance for that female Butterfree Oh". But as the young girl saw the 2 Butterfree dance themselves into romance her mind instantly brought up an old memory years ago Ash Butterfree, she saw in her mind as he tried so very hard to find his Butterfree a mate. Giving him that yellow strap around his neck chasing far and, wide after Team Rocket after they kidnapped all the Butterfree especially the pink Butterfree. The same that Ash's Butterfree fell in love with after he saved her life from James catching her and then Ash did the hardest thing he let Butterfree go, he didn't want to Misty could see the tears in his beautiful eyes as he did it. As the Butterfree flew off into the golden sunset leaving a trail of dust behind like angel's sparkle Misty's heart was soaring with long lost life, she turned her head at Ash's brave and cute face as he said "Misty hey Misty". "Huh" she finally realized it was Tracey calling her as he snapped his fingers trying to get her out of her dream like trance "Hey Misty are you all right, I was calling your name like 20 times you looked like you were a zombie". She blushed bashfully holding her rosy red cheeks looking at Tracey stuttering like a fool "Well I uh just oh never mind I was just dreaming", "Of Ash?" he said and as he did Misty turned away slowly crying deeply hurt. Tracey slapped himself "Oh god Misty I'm sorry I didn't mean to" "Its all right Tracey its not your fault" she quickly grabbed a tissue wiping her tears, picking up Togepi delicately in her arms he laughed and snuggled up to her. The young watcher knew he had hit a nerve there he felt terrible "Misty I'm sorry I shouldn't have said a that" Misty walked slowly barefoot to the door, going to get the newspaper "Its okay Tracey its just that I really miss…Ash". As she opened the door she paused a dead silent pause for standing behind the door was not the paper but a boy with a Pikachu it was Ash Ketchum, he smiled faintly as Pikachu perked up happily seeing Togepi and Misty again. "Hi Misty long time no see" Ash said quietly but Misty was totally silent for in front of her the boy she loves and the one who left her for 3 long years, she slowly and nervously uttered "Yeah" not taking her wet eyes off him. Looking down she saw she was half naked she grabbed a pillow and covered her bare legs from her pajamas "Ah ha, ha, ha sorry just let me excuse me", Misty said embarrassed beyond belief as she ran right into the bathroom. To get dressed Pikachu laughed "Pika Pikachu" "Yeah Misty hasn't changed", Ash pleasantly smiled with his Pikachu pal as Tracey spotted them both. Walking slowly toward them he sweated nervously "Wow man I can't believe your Ash Ketchum the great Pokemon master of Prof. Oak" both, shook hands an extreme pleasure both had to meet one another. "And you are?" "Tracey, Tracey Sketch I'm a Pokemon watcher been with Misty, after Brock left 2 years ago I met up with her became friends and lived in here". Ash was confused immensely at why Brock left and just what has happened "3 years man seems it was only yesterday I was here after the Pokemon war, I had no idea much has happened ever since I left to be a Pokemon master". "Pikachu pi, pi pika pi Pika Pikachu-not everything has changed Ash you know" Pikachu said as Misty stepped out of the bathroom fully dressed, in her old shorts and suspenders tightening her long red hair in a ponytail. "Pikachu is right….I haven't changed at least about you Ash" she said the young girl sat beside Ash on a bed as he smiled looking around at everyone, "Well its true Misty you still look beautiful than ever good legs too ha, ha". Ash laughed Misty laughed too hugging him tight he hugged her back feeling so warm together as if both had never hugged in their life at all, Tracey smiled "It was great to meet you Ash now I think you guys. Want some catching up to do so I'll leave" Tracey walked slowly out the door, both Ash and Misty watched him walk out then at themselves time for a talk. Now alone Misty sat on the bed her mind racing with a billion thoughts a second each one she wanted to ask but where to start she thought to herself, "Oh man do I hate him I mean he left me so long but he's back he's not mad. Should I be mad or should I still be in love with him oh my mind is splitting apart" meanwhile on the other side of the bed Ash sighed a deep sad sigh, thinking the same things "Does Misty still love me she said she still does. Or maybe she's hiding feelings about that Tracey guy where's Brock could she really still want me for 3 years of waiting I feel so horrible what do I say?", round and round their minds went what to say or do neither of them knew. Finally both turned to speak and spoke at the same time both laughed and waited f the other to talk Pikachu smiled happy yet puzzled also sitting, aside from baby Togepi "Pika, pika Pikachu pika pi-hope they don't fight". Misty stood up pacing the floor breaking the 5 endless minutes of silence "Ash its so great to see you again has much happened on your quest?", he smiled "I became a Pokemon master yeah I guess a lot did" both sighed. "Its okay Misty I understand you can't pick the right things to say I feel the same my stomach is tingling I don't know where to begin any of my questions". Ash said sadly laying back on the bed crossing his arms behind his head his heart and mind raced confused happy and yet sad all at once oh what to do, Misty began "Well to put you at ease I didn't chase Brock out he left too. He said you had the right idea so he went to Orange Islands and found the one, girl who wouldn't reject him ha, ha kind of funny it was Oak's best friend. Prof. Ivy she liked him a lot and she now is helping him full fill his dream Tracey came along a bit after he left and then the rest is well you know", Ash nodded breathing hard thinking of all their memories traveling together. "How is Mom?" "She's fine like me she was heartbroken at first but she's better now" both sighed again staring endlessly at each other beautiful, eyes both breathtaking as their hearts raced with old love such a great feeling. Pikachu looked at them both sniffed the air and then ducked down whispering "Pikachu Chu pika-here it comes" "Why did you leave Ash?", Misty asked but at the moment the love started to fade and anger arose. Ash clenched his fist hiding it from Misty he turned to her trying, not to sound annoyed "Misty I told you I…..needed to complete my quest I am sorry". Then it started Misty twitched anger flowed in her veins now too more and sparked up as she talked "Sorry well that's a good excuse for 3 years Ash", "Excuse? Misty look I felt really confused and I needed a time out alone". Both stood up eyes flaring flames of rage were building deep inside of them "Alone Pikachu and your Pokemon don't seem alone to me, what are they better than me?" "Misty I never said why are you so ticked off right now?". She stomped forward both staring each other down "I have been ticked off as you say for 3 years every day every month every week for 3 YEARS, after the boy I love just ran off to be some hero or something with out me". Ash stepped back grinding his teeth trying not to be mad at Misty but he is pointing a finger at her face he yelled "I never wanted to be a hero or god, I just wanted to be the best Pokemon master and I did it without you nagging. On and on I am sorry but you get kind of mad when your best friends are killed by a monster that you had gotten involved with by accidental", "I understand but your other friends were really hurt think about them. But your probably too dense to care about anyone but you and your Pokemon", "Hey love my friends and you and my Pokemon but I am not dense okay. At least I have the heart to admit it when I'm wrong unlike you when you badger me saying I stink as a trainer well news flash scrawny I DON'T", veins sprouted on Misty's red hair Ash's body seemed to glow bright red. "SCRAWNY? You must be dense I told you never to call me that some boyfriend you are you break my heart then everything else what's next?", "I don't know maybe your new pencil pal Tracey can help you think it out". "And just what does Tracey have to do with this?" Misty and Ash screamed Pikachu and Togepi tugged and whined for them to stop neither one listened, "You hated Brock's flirting so much you kicked him out and got lead head. Some friend you are is that how you get your kicks with men miss Misty?" "Kicks? flirting Brock left on his own like you did but he called and wrote, what do you do never say a word just to break my heart you are so cold". That word instantly pierced Ash's heart the anger and explosive rage was intense Pikachu cried to him "Pikachu pika, pika pi-please Ash don't do it", "Butt out Pikachu you call me cold I helped save this planet and your life. My dad gave his up to save me you and everyone else on the planet Earth I loved him he loved me and you dare call me cold?" "Don't love me do you, just admit it like you also are rude mean annoying stupid brainless brat. Who knows nothing about love or Pokemon you don't deserve to be a master", Ash was speechless his eyes unblinking as his heart sank deeper and deeper. Trying to not believe what he was hearing "I deserve it all you bratty witch your just like your sisters irritating spoiled selfish obnoxious and heartless", with those words Misty growled an evil growl and slapped Ash's face. Looking at him with a deep sense of hatred in her heart the Pallet boy was motionless and speechless he looked at her as if she was someone else, "I think your dad was stupid to give his life for a dead weight freak like you". Pikachu Togepi Ash and Tracey listening from the wall checking up on them were white as ghost's total dead silence filled the room until Misty gasped, she looked at her hands her terrified shaking hands as if she killed someone. The red mark glowed on Ash's face as if growing before her trembling eyes her legs felt like Jell-O wobbling and staggering back Ash closed, his crying eyes frowning an angry frown at Misty shocked she of all people said that. Pikachu stepped slowly back and quietly walked out the door Ash went for the door not saying a word not even breathing out loud Misty called to him, "Ash I don't go I am" he gave her a cold heartless stare ignoring her leaving. As he walked out the door stormed out the hallway forgetting nor caring right now about Misty Tracey Brock or even Pikachu at this very moment, as he went down the riding elevator to the main door Tracey found Misty. Crying her eyes out with tears as if rain was coming out of her face looking at her such sorrow such pain and such crushed emotions the young watcher, thought Pikachu and Togepi crawled to her feet as the tears rolled down her cheeks. Looking at everyone she frowned and sobbed into Tracey's lap crying and pouring her broken heart out Pikachu and Togepi went to her, "Pikachu-Oh Misty" "Togepi?" she sobbed a few faint words "I'm sorry". Ash ran out the main doors crying passing shoving past every person in Pallet town just wanting to crawl into a hole and die after what Misty said, running and running he continued passing threw Jesse James and Meowth. All 3 turned and with a great shock of gasp they said together "Ash?" the heartbroken boy ran into the Viridian forest just wanting to be alone forever, "Say James was it me or was that Ash running like he was shot?" "Yeah. Weirdo you think after being gone so long he would have been nicer to see us but he ran away like we were ghost's" as they pondered Meowth looked, all around searching for Misty or Tracey "So sign of Misty or da new kid. 3 years is a long time why would he run out of them after all dis way maybe, he's still upset about what happened to his dad after da the war ting and all". Jesse James nodded and agreed "Let's go find Ash" and they ran off searching for their lost friend but the only one who lost now was Misty, she stood up like she was drunk crying still "Where are we going guys?". She asked as Tracey and Pikachu helped carry her out of the room to find a Pokemon center "Pika, pika Chu-we need to talk" "That's right Ash you, and Misty have been together since you were 10 you belong together. You have fought before but this one takes the cake and, we need to talk this out before Ash decides to leave you again cause I know you don't want that". Deep down Misty knew he was right but she was so crushed by what she said she wondered if such a brat like her deserves a wonderful guy like Ash, "Okay Tracey Ash'll know how much I am sorry and that I still love him". As time flew by Misty Tracey and Pikachu headed off to a Pokemon center to think things threw but no mater how much they talked and no matter, how many times Tracey said Misty was the perfect one for Ash nothing worked. Sadly things were as bad for Misty as Ash he ran still crying into the forest just sitting down at a tree waiting for something to just crush his life, like his heart was Pokemon all around looked a him and strangely were sad for him. As time pondered away Misty and Tracey sat sulking at a table until finally a curious Nurse Joy looked at them soon walked over and politely asked them, "Excuse me but why are you kids so sad you seem like you lost something". Misty smiled at Joy's kindness and said softly "More like someone Joy I really screwed it up but I am sure you don't want to be bored with the story", the young nurse sat down besides her and smiles petting Pikachu softly. As he purred like a kitten enjoying the small massage "Pikachu-thanks" "Now, then tell me everything about what happened maybe I can help um miss?". "Oh my name is Misty and this is Tracey" he waved hello as Misty began explaining the story of the war how Ash left Pallet town and the fight, "So that's the whole thing now Ash is off somewhere crying his poor heart out. Because I was too stupid and stuck up to understand how hurt he really was" Misty put her hands in her face and began to slowly sob Joy gently smiled, lifted Misty out her hands and gave her a cup of tea for her and Tracey. "There, there Misty I must say that is a very sad and touching story and you are a very wonderful girl but you really didn't have to yell at Ash like that, from you 2 told me he sounds like the sweetest boy alive so caring and kind. Risking his life just for his Pikachu and his Pokemon such a great young man" Pikachu nodded happily Tracey looked at Joy slightly puzzled "Okay, but Nurse Joy how exactly can we get Ash and Misty back together again?". But this time Joy frowned "I hate to sound mean Misty but you shouldn't have been so rude that boy is sweeter than candy and you bad mouthed him, if you were my child believe me I'd be giving you an earful of complaints". The water trainer sighed sadly muttering utterly with her face flat down on the table "I know I know I have been such a brat lately" Tracey put his hand, on her back helping her back up smiling trying to be friendly "Okay Misty. You were being bratty but that's no reason to hate yourself things are bad but we can fix them right Nurse Joy?" "Right Tracey first things first, find Ash then Misty you get alone with him and try and talk things out softly. And remember no matter what happens do not yell at him for anything he might say" Misty nodded wiping away her tears Pikachu smiled happily, as he hopped onto the table getting a idea "Pika, pika Pikachu pi, pi Pikachu. Bet he's in the forest he always goes there when he's sad" Togepi cheered, with glee agreeing Misty Joy and Tracey agreed that's where to look first. But way ahead of them Jesse James and Meowth were searching high low up down and all around getting attacked by every forest Pokemon near them, they stopped panting and wheezing out of breath Jesse angrily scowled. "This is insanity I won't take another step in finding that blasted twerp my face is being destroyed by these harsh conditions" James moaned deeply, "Jesse you are the harsh conditions for us ouch" after getting hit by Jesse. And her fast ready fan James got to the point "At any rate Ash is our friend not a twerp anymore for years we have tormented him now he's hurt bad, and its up to us to help him besides he would do the same for us if he could". Meowth nodded pulling twig sticks and thorns out of his fur "Yeah but owe I tell ya this I am sick of looking in all the rose bushes I'm getting spiked, up my tail here owe" James frowned as he was getting sick and tired of it too. "Meowth has a point" he grunted pulling out a massive Beedrill stinger from his butt "I won't look in anymore Beedrill hives I am not a pin cushion", "Well I don't much like being whipped by the blasted Bulbasaur either. But Ash isn't just going to drop out of the sky you know" as Jesse finished Ash, screamed out of the darkness of the woods carrying a huge baseball bat. As he bashed Jesse slam right into her skull he jumped back gasping loudly, as Jesse blacked out laying down unconscious on the ground from the head hit. "What was that for?" James shouted angrily taking the bat away from Ash immediately "Wow sorry guys I thought you were Misty coming for me, I wanted to be ready" Meowth and James stared at him totally dumfounded. The gangster cat looked at the bat then at Ash with a confused cat face "Ready for what to give the gurl of your dreams a concussion, what's with ya?" "She's not my girl she's a selfish inconsiderate brat water airhead". Ash instantly snapped back at them both James sighed sadly asking Ash confused "Okay she's annoying sometimes but nothing like that, what's with you Ash last time I checked you 2 couldn't keep your arms off each other". "That was then this is now I just return after 3 years from being away and what do I get a knife in the back some girlfriend Misty is" sighing deeply, Ash sat down on a wooden tree stump and told James Meowth and Jesse. As she awoke the same story of the fight and everything that happened, after he returned Jesse scratched her chin nervously "So because of that you left. I must say I never though I'd hear those words come out of that kid, I'm as shocked as you are Ash" Ash sobbingly nodded "Yeah I felt the same way. Misty the sweetest gentlest and kindest girl in the world and yet she said my father wasted his life battling Mewthree during the war I am so confused", Meowth pat his back as he sobbed "Its okay so what are you gonna do?". "I don't know Meowth you see in my head I want her to be lonely and just, disappear from the face of this planet but then again inside my heart. I'll forgive Misty and I want to fall back in love with her again, I am just so confused" Meowth stepped away as Ash held his head deeply in pain. As her did ideas blurred threw out his brain about Misty the war his father's death, that picture pierced his very soul in fact he could still see the explosion now. The escapee pod ejected from the ship Mewthree screamed an evil hideous scream Giovanni and Mewtwo held him back Lugia crashed his huge body, into the flaming battle ship and with great horror and mind boggling terror. The poor boy was broken as the ship exploded and in one final flaming flash of light power and mass destruction his life along with his family were gone, Ash opened his eyes back up and looked at Jesse James and Meowth there. "I am sorry guys just bad dreams ever since my dad died the images keep haunting me again and again its hurt me so badly I'll be scarred for life, but when Misty said those last words my scar may just kill me but then again. Nobody has been so loving to me before whenever I felt hurt she was there smiling with her beautiful face and deep sea eyes oh what a sweet girl uh", Ash stopped blushing with embarrassment as Jesse and James giggled. "My friend it sounds to me like a part of you loves Misty but also hates her you, have to decide which part belongs closest to your true feelings about Misty". Jesse added to James sweet statement "He's right no matter how much you talk with us the true hero of your father lives inside of you Ash Ketchum, and we want you to save yourself but if you want out personal advice". "Yes I do very much I do" Ash said replying with a small smile wiping his tears, Meowth stepped up bashful but helpful "Try with Misty one last time k?". "Okay" Ash said with a smile and a deep warmth inside his heart then all of the sudden as if on cue a voice he though he'd never hear again called him, "Ash where are you Ash its me Misty please I want to talk" "I'm over here". Both called to each other Misty's heart lit up like a Christmas tree thinking he might forgive her she smiled and waved bye to Joy and Tracey, "Thanks you guys I can take it from here" she whispered as they happily left Misty. "Right guys you have made my day I'll talk it out with Misty good bye" Ash quietly spoke as Jesse James and Meowth vanished from sight as the 2 met, Ash and Misty walked into the clearing in dead silence staring at the other. Secretly but friendly Jesse James Meowth Joy and Tracey hid in 2 trees staying out of sight as they watched over Ash and Misty just for safety, Ash sat still on the stump as Misty slowly but carefully walked toward him. Pikachu slowly walked by Misty's leg smiling and waving at his loving master "Pikachu pika, pika-hey Ash its me" "Pikachu" he smiled happily, Pikachu and him hugged tightly loving the feeling of being together again. But the young mouse left him allowing the 2 to hopefully patch things up Misty spoke the first word softly and quietly saying "Hey what's up Ash?", "Nothing new" he said both were silent for another 2 minutes like death. Silent quiet and motionless Ash slightly looked at Misty asking her "How did you find me?" "Pikachu said you always go here when your sad and, after how horrible I was to you I figured you would go here" Ash looked up. He couldn't believe what he was hearing Misty apologizing but was it enough he thought maybe not he replied grimly "Sorry Misty but this time, you hurt me too badly no I'm sorry routine won't work just leave me alone". The saddened sister shed a tiny tear from her left eye everything she thought would happen she started to try again "I know that in fact you must hate me, I understand heck if you just punched me right here I'd understand fully". As she walked tears fell from her face Ash raised an eye to her and watched getting again confused on what to do as she continued "I was heartless, I was thinking only about myself I had no idea the impact it had on you own self". He stood up slightly annoyed "Misty all the tears and sorry's won't work when you said those things to me it felt as if you stabbed me in the back, and its done its work you were so cold to me I thought you were a stranger". Ash paced back and forth crying quietly Misty sat on the stump, watching him with very sad eyes as he went on "For years I have always been left alone. Ever since my dad became Giovanni nothing has been the same just pain and loneliness I had only love from 1 I needed 2 but no one gave me more love, then I met Pikachu I cared for him then you at first I thought you hated me. Just traveling with me to annoy me and destroy my self-esteem for some stupid bicycle that I wrecked because I saved Pikachu's life at the time", "Ash I never wanted the bike I thought I did but in truth I fell in love with you. To this very day my heart soul and boy belong to your heart and I am trying to say this no matter how much you think its phony I am……sorry", the 2 hanged their heads tears dripped like raindrops from their sad faces. Love such a fickled thing it is it brings us together it separates us but then it brings us right back together again but only if the love is that strongly alive, can Ash and Misty love again even after all the pains made let's hope so. Ash turned lifting his head slightly up looking directly at Misty yet her head still hang he almost felt guilty as she cried her sad beautiful eyes out for him, "Ash I am so sorry I have been the biggest idiot on the planet for being rude. I am the one who's dense and I want to make it up you see…..I……I" she tried to make the words but her tears overwhelmed her with total sadness, the touched pallet boy shrugged Pikachu sadly watched with great fear. "Pika, pika Kachu Pikachu-this looks bad Togepi" but Togepi only smiled not understanding anything Joy and Tracey bit their lips worried for Misty, "She's trying her best why won't Ash forgive her?" "Its not that easy to do. You see Tracey Ash is a very sensitive boy and saying something mean to him can easily set him off but when a young boy's heart is at stake here, a simple shout or insult can destroy everything he loves Misty crushed him. Emotionally and mentally it hurt him most hearing those words from the one he loves the most let's hope though the 2 can work it out" Joy replied sadly, Ash stomped his foot down going insane deciding to forgive Misty or not. Finally he was able to say with a firm yet unsteady tone in his trembling voice "Misty it makes me wonder why I say this but I understand you", she looked at him with a strange gasp not believing what he just said "What?". Misty could only reply Ash clenching his fists hiding them from Misty as he explained "You have gone threw a lot of things happen in your life no one, but me would know how bad my pains are you see I never knew my father. Before your mother died you knew her and loved her playing and laughing happily with her but my dad left when I was born, I never heard a thing from him for months then years my mom kept me in total silence about my dad. Then I find out he'' Giovanni the one man trying to stop me from beating Team Rocket which he owned when I saw him seemed so…..evil and so, dark like he was the devil finally I reach him but not at the right time. Just because of that monster Mewthree Michael Lugia Mewtwo and my dad, all died just to keep me safe to stop that alien menace but I didn't want that. I never wanted my dad to be a hero or a trainer or even a millionaire, all I wanted was…….a dad but I didn't get one even though he turned into evil. I still loved him and just when I find out he loves me back kaboom he and, so many we cared for are killed in one big blast Misty. You said my dad was stupid for giving his life for me but it wasn't for me it was for you Brock, Pikachu Tracey and every living creature on Earth that's what he saved. The world will always love him as the hero who saved the Earth but to me and, mom he was the best father and husband anyone could ever ask to have". With those words he began to turn away walking off into the distance Misty wiped her tears away stood up and grabbed Ash's shoulder pulling his face, to hers staring at him sadly she said with a deep breath and a heavy heart. "I don't deserve you Ash" "What?" he replied as did Jesse James and Meowth, puzzled and shocked immensely sadly Misty continued all listening closely. "All my life I have had a lousy life with my dad and sisters ever since my mom died sometimes Daisy my oldest sister would say it was my fault, that she died because I was being too bratty I guess its true I ruin everything. Your love is unbelievable so warm so wonderful and so…..so huge that only good people deserve it only the best people like Tracey Brock even Pikachu, deserve your love they smile laugh and love with you even I do but you see. Its cause of how much you care for your Pokemon and people around the world that makes you special you have saved me Pikachu your mom and, everyone else we know from Team Rocket Mewthree and Golbatula. If you hadn't been so brave and loving Jesse James would still be bad your dad, wouldn't have changed and stayed evil forever Mewthree would rule us all. And me I'd still be vampire food for Golbatula but you saved me even after everything I did to you as a vampire I was cold and cruel, just like I was at the hotel only I deserve is………death so I can't hurt anyone ever again. In fact even though I love you so much I imagine you'd be better, if you never met me….goodbye my one and true love I'm sorry that you ever met me". Dead silence filled the forest no Pokemon squeaking no birds chirping just dead wind Misty turned to leave maybe to find a cliff and end her life, Jesse James and Meowth sobbed sadly holding each other with a small smile. Nurse Joy said a small prayer quietly crying as Tracey sketched a picture of Ash and Misty kissing knowing its impossible to come true but at least, to serve as a memory of how much they loved one another and as for Pikachu. "Chu-no.." is all he could squeak he was pale paler than even a dead corpse Togepi for once understood it all tears dripping loudly from his baby face, rolling over his egg shell whining "Togi Togepi" sad so sad for his parents. Ash and Misty first worst of enemies then kind as people to best of friends to happiest of couples to finally saddest of young kids it appears to have ended, they always say nothing last's forever but love must be a true love is eternal. If 2 separate then it means there love was not meant to be is this true for the greatest Pokemon master in the world and the sweetest Cerulean sister, in seconds Ash ran to Misty turned her around and with a bright happy smile. Eventually kissing the awe struck lady with deep passionate French kiss a kiss to end all kisses Misty held her arms gently around Ash's head, Ash held Misty tight wrapping his arms around her body keeping her close. The wind blew their red and black hair wildly in the winds neither one caring, their eyes met each others seeing dreams and wild emotions come to life. Emotions of love joy and true pure happiness as it soared threw out their souls filling their hearts with boggling feelings of the greatest dreams, of all humanity pure love Pikachu Togepi Jesse James Meowth Joy and Tracey. Were silent still and emotionless as stone as they still kissed hugging moving and loving each other so slowly they lips interlocked so tightly, in traps of pure pleasure their loves were literally setting their hearts on fire. After 5 minutes of total love pleasure and joy Ash and Misty slowly stopped both smiling as if sleepy and tired their eyes sparkling at the others eyes, Misty's deep sea blue eyes Ash's light hazel eyes staring at their beauty. Each one of them ignoring the world all sounds all noises not looking checking or even caring about the world around them, the only thing that mattered was love the glorious so wonderful true love. Their hearts beating a mile a minute simply dazzling the other with their own faces as if they were true works of art Misty's red hair like wildfire, spreading into the wind as she pulled out the tie in it letting it fly out long. The wind made it look like the sun so long and indescribably wonderful her eyes sparkling like sapphires in the air her face so gentle soft and innocent, like a baby with the voice of an angel and a soul pure as a heaven itself. Then there's Ash such a handsome and stunning young man with a brash face as fearsome as a Charizard and then as gentle as a Clefairy at times, in him the future of young trainers across the world with his bravery acts. Standing tall with a heart of gold and a will of steel his dark wild black hair as wild as a thunder storm and his voice so soft and calm to call to others, he and Misty the greatest of trainers of friends of heroes and greatest of lovers. Both smiled at each other Misty whispered with a small tear of joy falling down her left cheek as Ash wiped it off with a smile and a breath of relief, "No matter how much I love you your just too dense to run away ah ha, ha". She gently giggled Ash laughed too as he smiled right back and replied "And no matter how scrawny you get I'll love you big mouth and all ha, ha", both laughed quietly it seems as is well and their love is alive and quite well. As they hugged enjoying the beating of one another's hearts feeling the endless warmth of their loves a sudden crack and thump made them turn, they gasped as Tracey and Nurse Joy lay on the ground moaning in pain. "What a fall uh oh" "Uh hi guys how's it going?" Joy and Tracey said nervously obviously being caught by the staring eyes of Ash and Misty, both asked at the same time "What are you 2 doing here?" both sighed deeply. "Sorry guys but we wanted to make sure that you 2 had gotten back together again even Nurse Joy came all the way just to keep you guys in love right?", the kind nurse nodded wiping the dirt off her skirt smiling at Ash and Misty. "That's right Tracey I am so happy for you both Misty I hope you learned your lesson" she nodded "I sure did thanks for everything Nurse Joy", as Joy walked off Ash puzzled asked both her and Tracey "Thanks for what?". Pikachu and Togepi soon came out jumping happily into the arms of their reunited loving masters Tracey explained "Nurse Joy saw me and Misty, so we talked things out and helped us find you and get things all worked out". Misty nodded gently kissing Ash's cheek "Uh huh she was so sweet saying how much you were a great guy Ash" he blushed thankfully "Awe Misty, it's a good thing for Team Rocket I'd be still mad if it wasn't for them". Tracey and Misty were now puzzled asking him oddly "What?" "Oh yeah sorry guys when I came here alone they found me and did the same like Joy, talked it out with me and they proved to me how much I loved you Misty". Both lovers gently smiled back at each other Ash and Misty kindly held hands smiling and sweetly kissing each other on their warm sweet cheeks, Tracey smiled and hugged them together like therapy group hug happily. They smiled and laughed as good friends should be Pikachu and Togepi finally popped out of the bushes smiling laughing and actually dancing, for joy that their loving master are once again reunited "Pika, pika-they did it". "Togi Togepi Togi" both said jumping up and down for joy again and again but as they rejoiced Team Rocket continued to watch them from their tree, oddly grinning almost evil like James eagerly whispered to Jesse "Now?". Both Jesse and Meowth nodded replying "Now its show time" with those words they vanished into the darkness of the trees leaves and then smoke, covered the area flowing from the trees and grasses around the dark forest. Then as our heroes worried faces became more scared and scared with each second both Ash and Misty gasped shuttering to hear that music once more, "Prepare for trouble love birds and make that double you sappy sap heads. To protect the world from devastation to unite all people's with our nation to denounce the evils of truth and love to extend our reach to the stars above, Jesse James Team Rocket blast off at the speed of light. Surrender now or prepare to fight Meowth that's right" said the famous motto of Team Rocket, as Jesse James and Meowth stood evilly smiling in their former rocket poses. "You guys I thought Jesse James and Meowth quit Team Rocket so why are they singing that motto again?" Tracey asked nervously but nobody knew, Ash slowly steeped up to them outside brave hero inside shaking little boy. "Be careful Ash" Misty said with a hint of fear in her delicate voice but Ash wasn't that scared or was he walking to Team Rocket he frowned at them, instantly asking "Guys what are you doing the motto for your our friends". But the wicked rockets simply laughed and kicked Ash in the face sending the staggering boy skidding across the dirt written floor to Misty and Tracey, as he steadily got back up his pride body and shot and hurt by their betrayal. "What are you guys doing you hit Ash I thought we had a deal you said you guys quit Team Rocket to be friends with us" Misty said supremely angry, holding Ash back up trying to comfort his broken sadness Pikachu sighed. Staring back at the evil grinning gang Jesse laughed wickedly "Twerps I never thought I'd see the day when one of our marvelous plans worked", "Ha, ha that day is today we tricked you meat heads easy as clockwork". James chuckled on in as Meowth hopped in front smiling at our confused heroes "Guess your wondering what da heck were doing this for right?", everyone nodded sadly and confused Meowth continued on "I thought so. Here's da ting when we came back from the future and found what would happen to da world we wanted Mewthree out of the way as much as you did, originally we thought going back to Giovanni and help him win the war. But after we saw what a bang up job you did on Future Mewthree we figured, that you would be the smartest choice to pick so we could finally beat him". Jesse and James laughed quietly pulling out their Pokeballs preparing for their battle as Meowth went on "Good ting you twerps are stupid enemies, you did us a huge favor ha, ha who needs friends with enemies like you?". Tracey shouted at them sick and tired of being insulted with mass emotions of rage anger and sorrow soaring threw his boiling blood "A favor for you?", "Thanks to dat explosion you killed our boss Mewthree Mewtwo and Lugia. Now were free to work for nobody and with your 2 prize Pokemon out of the way da world will be rightfully ours" as the talking cat laughed on, Ash's hazel eyes filled with tears like a waterfall of woes crying his heart all out. Muttering to Pikachu as the electric mouse hugged and comforted him "They used me that's why they became friends with us just to kill my father, be free of Mewthree and beat us I risked my life so did Lugia and Mewtwo". His voice began to raise crying harder with Misty and Tracey frantically holding the angry Ash back "They gave their lives for your safety you, you, MONSTERS you'll never get away with this" "But we already have Ashy". James giggled as Jesse grinned leaping down from the small hill they stood upon laughing evilly "You see kid now that were model citizens in Pallet, the cops won't lay a finger on us until its too late and with everybody else. Butch Cassidy Gary and May arrested no one can stop us this time" she stepped on ahead Ash and Misty backed away back to Tracey and Pikachu, shaking and cowering in heartbroken fear the 3 rockets shouted at them all. "We want Pikachu NOW" Ash backed away holding Pikachu safely away from them screaming "Never" "Go Arbok Weezing attack get us Pikachu", the twin engines of destruction as their purple poisonous Pokemon arrived. Hissing and wheezing their deadly gases and fangs of fear at Ash and Pikachu but Ash wasn't afraid now throwing Pikachu right at the Pokemon, yelling "Pikachu thunder bolt" "Pikachuuu" he screeched into the sky. Electrocuting both Arbok and Weezing they screamed and sizzled slowly to the ground Arbok hissed "Charrbok" as Weezing whined "Wee Weezing", "Not again well it's a lucky ting we have these" Meowth cackled happily. Jesse and James pulled out to max revives and instantly sprayed them both over their wounded warriors as the 2 titans of terror came jolting back to life, Ash and Pikachu gasped "Pika-what?" "They re-charged them back again". But as they continued to gasp and stand their in shock Arbok and Weezing attacked with newly restored speed and power Pikachu could only blink, in mind boggling fear as he was pummeled painlessly with twin toxic blast's. The dark weapons of war badly poisoned the power house Pikachu Ash ran madly at Pikachu catching his fallen friend slamming into his chest hard, holding him broken in his green gloved hands Ash cried to him "Pikachu. No please Pikachu speak to me" eventually and yet faintly he replied "Chu pi Pikachu-I'm okay Ash" with those words he quietly blacked right out, like dying in Ash's arms stepping back from battle in fear Team Rocket smiled. Team Rocket had returned to their wicked evil ways and it looks like for once Pikachu is out of the battle this time Arbok and Weezing hissed evilly, as the 2 Pokemon curled closer and closer to our trembling trio of trainers. Their hearts beat like hummingbirds again and again their fear holding their very souls and crushing them like simple eggs but Misty decided to stand up, to teach them a lesson Tracey instantly backing her up both with Pokeballs. "Forget it clowns if you want Ash or Pikachu you'll have to battle with us first go Starmie" Misty shouted bravely outward releasing her Pokemon, Tracey nodded repeating the move "Go Scyther" his bug Pokemon arrived. Blades whirling like vicious cyclones of death as the ninja mantis leaped into battle without order using his slash attack totally fainting Weezing, the gas Pokemon dropped cut up like a cats chew toy at James whining feet. "Oh no my Weezing you little brat" "Its all over creeps Starmie psychic attack", as said the jeweled core of Starmie glowed a bright and shiny blue aura. Its powers maximized out of proportion in moments firing the psychic blast, striking down the angry Arbok black burnt all over its body Jesse scowled. "How dare you hurt my precious Arbok you whiny scrawny excuse for a loud mouthed brat AHH that does it Likitung destroy them" "Victreebel, give em everything you got" calling back their old Pokemon in rage. Team Rocket called out their other Pokemon Meowth frowned angrily worried, that they might lose again "We better not lose but in case dos 2 screw up. I got an idea for some easy escaping insurance ha, ha" the gangster cat, chuckled staring at Misty plotting an attack to kidnap Misty run away. Taking her with Team Rocket that way Ash and Tracey will have no choice but to surrender Pikachu unless he doesn't want Misty to get at all hurt, "Ha now you will pay for insulting the powerful and also beautiful Team Rocket. Likitung tackle that starfish freak" Likitung grinned as he rammed Starmie down as fast as he could slamming the water Pokemon back into a tree "Oh, yeah come on Starmie show that Likitung who's the boss hydro pump now". Misty commanded Starmie leaped back to its feet shaking off the pain huffing and puffing with anger as it blasted Likitung down with a powerful, hydro pump blast attack "Continue now swift attack" Starmie fired its swift. A barrage of stars came flying at the licking lizard he jumped around like he was on fire jumping hopping squirming to avoid the super starry onslaught, "Forget the dancing and start fighting lick attack now" Likitung attacked. His lengthy tongue stretched out and in moments before Misty could even speak Starmie dropped to the ground paralyzed dripping with wet saliva, "No Starmie no way Team Rocket you won't get away with this I swear it". "Oh but we will little girl James hurry it up our time in the spotlight has finally arrived" "You got it Jesse okay Victreebel razor leaf that bug", the poisonous plant Pokemon fired his horde of razor leafs at Tracey's Scyther. "Scyther quick attack avoid those leafs" Scyther nodded and used his awesome ninja like speed to avoid each and every leaf then slicing them up, "No way" "Yes way now fly attack" James and Tracey cried to each other. With great ease speed and pleasure as well the vicious Scyther swooped down like a hunter eagle attacking prey Scyther slammed, a hard and powerful blow tumbling Victreebel back to its bumbling master. "You worthless weed can't you do anything right I have had it Victreebel now vine whip" getting back instantly from his master whining commands, Victreebel unleashed his whipping whips directly at Scyther landing a hit. The vines slammed the air born bug to the ground Tracey shouted to him "Oh no Scyther get back up please use your slash attack" Scyther obeyed, using his razor blade arms to easily slice off the vines as Victreebel growled. James ignored Scyther and yelled "End this solar beam now" the vampire pod plant began to absorb the suns rays energy growing and growing more, Victreebel's powers were increasing Scyther gasped running blindly at them. "Scyther" "Stop Scyther his solar beam will shred you apart NO" Scyther did not listen this time as Scyther raised his claws high above the air, James grinned evilly as the massive solar beam blasted right out face front Scyther. Giving him the full burn of the ray fried a fizzled Scyther dropped down his arms twitching his blades twisted and bent Tracey ran to Scyther worried, for the fallen ninja mantis "You monsters this isn't over yet" "That's right". Both Tracey and Misty said as they called back their beaten Pokemon preparing to fight again Meowth cackled evilly "Ha, ha, ha, you're out of luck dis time kiddo our Pokemon is unbeatable now without your Pikachu. You don't stand a chance against us let's get em" Jesse and James stalked forward grinning holding ropes tightening their grip looking at Misty and, Tracey "Looks you'll be tied up today kids" "Pikachu belongs to us now". James and Jesse chuckled stomping ahead scaring the backing away trainers only Ash sat behind holding his wounded Pikachu looking at Team Rocket, he gasped a small gasp seeing his friends in danger then he saw Pikachu. "Pikachu Misty and Tracey are in danger I have to help them you stay here and recover I'll be right back" "Chu Pika pi Pikachu-no Ash you'll get hurt", "Its okay I will save them no matter what" still afraid for Ash's own safety. Pikachu sighed sadly watching as his best friend ran off and like the brave hero that he is threw his own body in front of Misty and Tracey blocking off, Team Rocket "You want my friends you have to go threw me first" he said. Crossing out his arms blocking them off Misty gently smiled admired at how brave Ash is for them Jesse frowned scowling at Ash "You worthless twerp, were getting Pikachu one way or another now get out or we'll move you". Ash spit on her boots shaking his head no Jesse's face boiled like it was on fire her rage was exploding as veins popped out all over her face raging off, James snapped "Fine we'll KILL you first Victreebel solar beam him again". At that second Misty's eyes widened with pure unimaginable fear she screamed "Ash NOOO" he closed his eyes as Victreebel quickly charged up, in seconds the beam fired he screamed a blood curdling tortured painful yell. His flesh seemed to melt off like butter as the beam burned him apart his clothes burning before Pikachu Tracey and Misty's very crying eyes his hair, cindering with cinders and in a matter of excruciating fiery painful seconds. The beam stopped Ash was speechless his legs gave out like 1 ton weights as he slowly painfully fell to the ground his face striking the dirt and dust, no words came out of anyone's mouths they simply stared totally emotionless. Pikachu finally ran he limped his legs hurting but he didn't care he ran to Ash placing his paws on Ash's burnt shoulder he whispered crying sadly, "Pi pika pi Chu pika Pikachu pi, pi Pikachu pika Pikachu-oh no god no. Ash please talk say something you can't be….dead NO" he shouted out insanely, Misty and Tracey jumped back as Pikachu seemed to explode with thunder. His electricity zapped everywhere Meowth danced his feet quickly avoiding the shocks just barely missing them squeaking "Hey what's with Pikachu?", "Jesse I think were in big trouble" "Make that double James" "That's right". Team Rocket said shaking like 3 blind mice holding each other in mind boggling fear as Pikachu sparked black electricity this time pure night black, the voltage struck the trees leaves rocks and ground Pikachu cried madly. His Pokemon heart pounding like crazy his power overloading and building up to a charge unlike no other he screamed closing his eyes tightly Pikachu, unleashed his ballistic firepower in a surge of high explosive thunder attack. The thunder struck Team Rocket dead on target the sky went bright white a huge explosion of fire dirt and electricity erupted in a thunder bolt from god, as the dust cleared Team Rocket flew into the air like Pidgey screaming out. "Looks likes Team Rocket's blasting off again" their cries echoed out in the sunlit sky as they vanished out of sight back down a huge crater appeared, from Pikachu's super thunder attack leaving Misty to Ash in dead silence. As the wind blew the death dust from Ash's body laying Misty dropped to her knees to cry her poor heartbroken heart out Tracey ran off, quickly to call for help Pikachu limped back to Ash exhausted from the thunder blast. "Ash why did you save me I just got you back why? I love you too much oh god please…..let my love live" Misty said preying to heaven as she cried, tears streaming down her soft skinned cheeks Pikachu hugged Ash's body. Not caring how hot cold or painful it was Ash is his friend now and forever "Pikachu pi, pi Pikachu-please Ash come home please" Pikachu said softly, crying his small tears hitting Ash's burnt shoulder staring sadly at Misty. But as if the tears had meant some kind of energizer Ash's gloved hand began to twitch slowly but surely it was moving his body ache but moved, as Misty left Pikachu's eyes began to widen with astonishment he called to her. "Pikachu Chu pika pi Pikachu-Misty come here Ash he's alive" Misty turned confused by what Pikachu said once she heard Ash's faint voice, coughing faintly saying "You guys make enough noise to wake the dead". Very weakly his hands moved Misty's eyes filled with more tears but not of sadness of joy she cried happily with her heart soaring like the blazing sun, "Ash oh my god I thought I'd lost you thank you god oh Ash I love you". The Pokemon master coughed and wheezed painfully as she hugged him "I love you too Misty but AIR" "Oh yeah sorry" instantly releasing him again, Tracey came back after what had seemed an eternity to search for some help. In moments Ash was hauled up onto a stretcher by 2 Chansey they replied smiling "Chansey, Chansey" as they carried Ash into the back of the truck, Misty Pikachu and Tracey instantly was give a ride with fellow Nurse Joy. Who had met Tracey when he called for help in no time at all Ash's body was being tended as we speak bandages ant acids and chemicals flowing, threw out every cell and vein of his broken body trying to save his life. In his mind Ash Ketchum was fighting for his very survival dealing with physical, emotional and mental drama from Victreebel's solar beam all over he felt. Nothing but pain and fire like he was burning up on the outside and inside he bit his lip trembling with burning new sensations of pain and total torture, Misty's head raced with horrible thoughts of Ash and if he would live or die. She broke into sobbing tears Tracey held her in his lap gently taking her safely back to calmness Pikachu could only stare threw the window, endless staring at the truck carrying Ash nothing but his safety was on his mind. Finally after a seemingly eternity they reached the hospital nurses rushed Ash past the doors yelling for tools liquids and other medical equipment, Misty Tracey and Pikachu stepped out from the truck staring only at Ash. His face covered on a breathing machine the only thing now keeping him alive the elevator doors opened and in seconds Ash was gone raced up, sent flying as if to a doctor's table were in seconds they worked on Ash's life. Stepping in Misty Pikachu Tracey sat down in the lobby wanting to see Ash so badly but of course they couldn't see him until the doctors had finished, their work first and of course she and Tracey filled out the medical forms. Information on Ash's accident how long he was hurt and other questions as for insurance they couldn't pay kids and all but as soon as they made a call, Mrs. Ketchum raced over here and heard everything about what happened. She of course filled out the rest of the bills insurance and other hospital requirements and then the worst part of being there as the doctors were done, was the waiting for 3 dark and horrid hours they sat there pondering preying. Not knowing what will happen to their beloved Ash of course Brock was notified but a tropical disaster storm had approached Orange Islands and, prevented him from going to Pallet personally finally the doctor arrived. Instantly seeing the doctor Karen Misty Pikachu and Tracey literally jumped to him asking about Ash's safety the doctor frowned with a sad looking face, at that moment Karen could see the death and sadness in Misty's blue eyes. Karen began to cry even before hearing a single word Pikachu clenched shaking tightly to Misty's leg whispering "Pikachu pika pi-how is Ash?", "I don't know Pikachu I'll ask please doctor tell us straight will Ash be okay?". The doctor set aside his notes and sighed a deep and sad sounding sigh and then with a heavy heart explained "Well I hate to say this to you young miss, al of you but….things don't look very good Ash as you said was blasted. By a solar beam and since that's the case it seems like naturally all of his bodily, bloods and fluids as well his skin and structure have been fried out of repair. He's in a coma like state his skin is burning on the inside since we stopped it on the outside his heart has been burnt very badly it may stop anytime, now all we can do is prey and maybe by some miracle his heart will survive". With those sad words echoing threw out Misty's muffled mind she could only stand there as tears flowed from her cheeks yet no sobs or weeps came, Mrs. Ketchum broke into a hysteria of tears Tracey tried to calm her down. But to no use she just cried harder and harder shouting "NO I can't lose Ash not my poor baby too first my husband and now…….Ash I won't lose you", "Doctor can I at least see Ash?" "Of course Misty but one visitor at a time". Misty nodded still crying holding her face as the tears rained from her woeful eyes Pikachu followed shaking his face to wash out the idea, of him dead as they entered the small hospital room there in the first bed was Ash. Lying there his skin and face bleeding and cracked skin burnt very badly his mouth connected to a lung compressor his small hands carried a small wire, onto a monitor as his heart line beeped across the black computer screen. Pikachu uttered quietly just staring endless staring at his fallen friend "Pikachu pi, pi Chu Pikachu-Ash no please don't leave us" he said slowly, stepping forward to the side of his bed climbing near Ash's feet forward. Across the blue bed sheets Ash made no emotions or movement as his loving Pokemon reached his hand and softly petted it like he used to pet him, Misty sat down to a small chair right to Ash her face was so sad and worried. Her heart jumped as slow as his heart rate crossing her long legs below the chair she sat there gently moving his black and wild hair with her fingers, delicately as if he was a sleeping baby her eyes filled with small tears. "Oh Ash my love my sweet handsome Ash I don't want you to die you just can't, you have done so much for this world for Pokemon across the world for me. Your love and kindness deserves a medal you have done so much accomplished your dream and even won the heart of me little old Misty ha, and now would be the worst time to leave again everyone needs you Ash. I need your love to hear your laugh again to feel the taste of your sweet kiss, again my life will be over without you my darling in fact you are my life. I remember well the first time we met when I fished you out of that river and, I saw you with Pikachu holding and hugging him keeping him protected. At first I thought you were a selfish little kid caring about yourself and just hurting your own Pokemon but then you took my bike pedaled it, all the way to the Pokemon center and saved his life I knew you were special. I mean not every boy would risk his life for a Pokemon that hated him but, you did and even though you wrecked my bike argued with me got us lost. Teased me about being scared of bugs and hated me for all the things I said about you being a lousy Pokemon trainer I……..still will……….love you", Misty said softly muffling her tears as she cried her heart out on Ash's lap. "Pikachu pika, pika Chu pi Pikachu pi Chu Pikachu pika pi Pikachu pika pi- Ash I am sorry I hated you I was too stubborn at first I can't lose you god, I love you Ash my friend" Pikachu cried with Misty tears overflowing madly. Karen and Tracey opened the door a slight crack crying there own silent tears watching Ash just lay there as Misty and Pikachu sobbing crying sadly, with her final tears shed Misty stretched out over Ash's body still crying. Whispering to his ear and she gently kisses his lips as if there last kiss ever "I love you Ash Ketchum forever and ever till the ends of time and beyond", as she stepped away she gasped the heart monitor made a huge loud bleep. Then it did it again and again and again the heart monitor was springing to life Ash's small charred hand began to twitch his fingers slightly moved, his mouth jarred and turned and his hazel slowly but eventually opened up wide. "What I uh…….Misty?" "ASH" "Pika-Ash" "Honey" "He's alive" everyone shouted as Karen Tracey Pikachu and Misty hugged Ash crying so happily, Ash's fried face smiled giggling with joy seeing all his loved ones there. Confused and shocked why he was in a hospital bed he didn't care he smiled a wonderful beautiful smile hugging everyone and feeling their warm love, he anxiously said "I love you guys too wow looks like I got an audience. Mom Tracey Pikachu……Misty" "Ash I was so scared…that I'd lose you" "Its okay I love you too" Ash smiled warmly as he kissed her on the cheek, she blushed brightly hugging him as he blushed as well Pikachu cheered. "Pika, pika Pikachu-Oh Ash my friend" "Pikachu how bout a hug buddy?" Ash laughed happily as he and Pikachu hugged each other like brothers, rejoined and loving each other Mrs. Ketchum wiped away her sad tears. Smiled sitting aside from Ash as she replied "Welcome back Mr. Pokemon master my son" "Mom" "Sweetheart" they hugged joining the group hug, smiling crying "I hope I made dad proud" "He's never been prouder son". Good news traveled faster than bad as the whole town of Pallet heard of Ash's recovery Prof. Oak was overjoyed as was all of Ash's Pokemon but, Gary May and the rest of Team Rocket heard this too they wished he died. Unfortunately Meowth Jesse and James are the only Team Rocket members still out and causing more double trouble now free of Giovanni's control, Ash Misty and Tracey warned Officer Jenny and the police of their betrayal. So now at least they will be watched as they try and out run the law feeling better in no time at all Nurse Joy dressed Ash releasing him from the, hospital Ash and all of his friends and family smiled happy and healthy. Before they left though "Uh excuse me Nurse Joy since your helping here at the hospital would you mind recharging my Pikachu and my Pokemon?", "Yes if could do the same with mine" "Make that 3" Misty and Tracey said. "Why of course you kids are too kind I'll be back in a second" as Nurse Joy left Ash called Brock and Prof. Ivy on the Orange Islands telling them all, that he was fine and that everything was fine Nurse Joy returned smiling. "Here you go Ash your Pikachu and all the other Pokemon are fully healed thanks so much bye" "Goodbye Nurse Joy" everyone replied walking out, as they exited the hospital all were unaware that 3 sinister sets of eyes spied. Watching waiting and listening James whined "Do we have to be in this tree I'm getting poked by all these twigs and stick OW" "One more word James, and you'll be thrown out of this tree and back to jail loud mouthed moron". "Jesse's right remember da kid survived so now we got to find a way to get him alone again and this time make sure he's out and Pikachu's in the bag", as Meowth kept silent did Jesse and James they listened to where and when. Ash Misty and Tracey were going "Well pumpkin now your safe I better head back to the hotel and tidy up your room you kids can have fun bye", Karen replied sounding like a mom yet again Ash sweat dropped moaning. "MOM" as Misty and Tracey giggled "Pikachu pika pi-Mommy's pumpkin" "Shut up Pikachu" Ash groaned back as Mrs. Ketchum walked back home, to the hotel but as she walked off Ash unfortunately heard her yell to him. "Don't forget get some new underwear that isn't fried this time bye honey" Ash face faulted dumfounded to the ground screaming red with mad rage, "FORGET MY UNDERWEAR well she's gone" "So what now Ash?". Misty asked questioningly confused now that he was a Pokemon master Tracey shrugged "Well with Ash's dream completed why not just relax, we got plenty of time to have fun catch some Pokemon sketch just relaxation". Pikachu smiled nodding but his smile became a frown when he saw the sad and depressed look on Ash's face he asked worried "Pikachu pi pika-Ash, what's wrong?" "Huh Ash what's the matter does that sound boring"?. "No Misty its not that its just that before we do anything I need to do something if you guys want to come okay but I have to talk with someone", confused and worried Tracey and Misty of course followed with Ash and Pikachu. Of course so did Team Rocket as Ash called out Pidgeot he and, the others rode him far to the off-skirts of Pallet Town heading to a dark and gloomy place. One place that Ash wished he never had to see until he died the Graveyard Pidgeot landed gracefully everyone jumped off Team Rocket followed em, luckily stealing a bicycle and watching them as they pedaled after them. As they landed into the dark demonic and black grass fields of death and decay, tombstones' covering the ground like pillars of ghost's haunting the yard. Calling Pidgeot back Ash walked slowly and sadly over to the left side of the Graveyard the right being a Pokemon cemetery and left the human one, Misty and Tracey followed Ash Pikachu was going to but then he stopped. Togepi giggled happily next to Pikachu ignoring Pikachu's zombie like stare "Pikachu pika-no it can't be" speaking as silent as the stones around him, Pikachu picked up Togepi and with his heart racing ran to the left cemetery. Standing back at a single headstone Misty hugged Ash from behind keeping silent as Tracey watched idly by seeing that the tombstone Ash looked at, was the tombstone of "The greatest hero of Earth" written for Max Ketchum. After the destruction of Mewthree's spaceship a beautiful memorial and tombstone was placed for the brave gym leader sacrificing his life for Earth, still fresh in his memory Ash could remember the funeral service given. The minister's words spoke loudly as everyone cried holding their hearts crying, hanging their heads in sorrow and sadness Officer Jenny and Nurse Joy. Saluted the brave war hero as the military and police academy played a brave taps to commemorate his brave actions Karen had taken it very badly, no sooner does she find out he comes back from evil his life is destroyed. Her heart felt like it could never heal itself as she cried weeping in Misty's lap who also cried feeling like a daughter to the family as did Tracey, Ash didn't miss it even though his note said he left he stayed out of all sight. Once the funeral was took place watching from the far back crying his tears remembering his kind father wanting him to live on and "Be happy" he said, soon as they buried him and everyone left Pikachu and Ash said their vows. Soon they left as well never again to be same people they once were before Ash hasn't returned to his father's grave ever since it was made 3 years ago, but now that he is back and reunited with everyone he is truly now at home. "Hi Dad its me Ash your son I know you probably can't hear me right now wherever you are a lot of things has happened with my life but you know, that already watching over me for all those years like my guardian angel. Well I just came here to say to you and everyone that is near and dear to me in Pallet I am sorry for leaving sorry for causing any problems and mostly, sorry if I made you disappointed ever at all once for being…….a screw up. I accomplished my dream and became the world's greatest Pokemon master, but its not enough if you're not proud of me then forget what I said but still. I'm not mad because you left or because of you're accident and out of all your evil plans and world domination schemes you made at Team Rocket, I still love you dad my father" Ash turned smiling slightly at the golden sun. His back turned to the grave Misty and Tracey sighed sadly as they watched a single tear fall from Ash's cheek and hit the ground in a soft wet dew drop, before he left before anyone did all of the sudden a burst of wind broke out. A mighty gust blew Ash's cap right off he gasped ran around grabbing for it "Hey come back here stupid wind give me my hat back HEY" Ash whined, Misty and Tracey couldn't help but giggle "Ash never quits with his hat". Misty replied Tracey nodded "I can see being with you guys proves one thing" "What's that Tracey?" he grinned giggling "Never a dull, moment look" he pointed to the Max Ketchum's grave Misty turned around gasping. Holding her hands to her mouth Ash looked at them oddly as his black hair swayed in the gusting winds he asked them both "Hey what's with you guys, you look like you've seen a ghost" turning his head Ash saw the tombstone. "AH no way" he shouted in horror yet also total amazement as the wind blew his cap right onto the grave's top as below the stone written in grass, words were there staring back at Ash and Misty right in the face shockingly. It said as if the wind acted like vocal cords like a voice spoken in the deep and spooky winds "I am proud my son" written below it said Ash smiled, still spooked and confused he knew at least one thing was for sure right now. "You're the best dad in the world dad I'm proud of you too now you be happy" Ash whispered Misty smiled and hugged her awe stricken boyfriend, they both smiled blushing at one another's beautiful face as they both kissed. Tracey smiled hugging them both not wanting to interrupt this romantic moment but he just now realized looking around the graveyard "Hey guys, where's Pikachu and Togepi?" "Huh Pikachu where are you?" "No Togepi". Ash and Misty cried frantically looking around for their lost Pokemon pals yet threw out every hole grave and grassy field neither were to be seen then, Tracey snapped his fingers "Of course why didn't think of it before I got it". "Got what Tracey where's Pikachu and Togepi?" Tracey smiled answering Ash "It's easy there are only 2 ways to go in this cemetery left and, right the human cemetery is left where we came in and since Pikachu loves you. And he wouldn't risk of leaving you he would probably had gone to the right side Pokemon cemetery by mistake" "But what about Togepi he's gone too", "Don't worry Misty Pikachu always looks after Togepi so he with em now". Ash smiled happily looking at Tracey totally amazed at all the information he knew about Pokemon and their ways of working "Wow Tracey, that was great you sound like you know a lot about Pokemon" "Watchers have to". Not sure what that was Ash figured he'd ask later first and for most he had to find Pikachu and Togepi they leaped over the small metal divider fence, between the human and Pokemon cemeteries luckily both were just found. But unfortunately Ash gasped along with Misty as they saw that Tracey was wrong Pikachu didn't get confused picking sides he went here for a reason, Pikachu stood there his little eyes crying at the grave belonging to his Mom. "Pikachu pika pi Chu pika, pika-so this is what they did with you mom" the tears dripped from his cheeks as Togepi hugged him trying to comfort him, but to no avail memories of past life with her before Ash came ringing back. To Pikachu's memory as he saw in his won mind everything that happened waking up as a baby Pikachu he remember seeing his mother getting beaten, by her and abused because she wasn't strong enough to beat some Pokemon. Eventually he gave her up and his mother who the trainer had called Peach for some odd reason had taken care of Pikachu ever since they left the kid, Pikachu could still hear her soft voice saying the same thing over and over. "Humans are bad and terrible never let any trainers make a slave out of you cause they'll only hurt you and dump you son but if one day you are caught, disobey the trainer make his life as miserable as yours is". At the time Pikachu didn't know what to say his mother he always listened to and already seeing the trainer hit her he thought she must be right time, went on Peach and Pikachu traveled from forest to forest looking for a home to find. But so far no such luck then one day they needed to cross a certain path to find the next forest to leave Viridian forest Peach told Pikachu to stay put, while she crossed the huge gray path with massive cars or known as a road. As she ran Peach seemed so smart and quick she could outrun anything but she wasn't able to see the future nor was she able to see that huge truck, at least until it was too late a loud thud a quick splash her body flew across. And Pikachu's life was changed forever not knowing what happened to his mother after she died Pikachu ran crying his poor broken heart out running, hiding away in the seemingly dark and hateful Viridian forest things now. Seemed they couldn't get any worse for poor Pikachu but unfortunately it did collapsing from exhaustion from running Pikachu instantly blacked out, and his small yellow body laid there lying lifeless it seemed on the grass. Later on of course his memory was blank until a kind old man with a white lab coat and a small Pokeball with a little yellow lighting bolt on the center, came along Prof. Oak caught Pikachu and nursed him back to full health. Threw out the time Pikachu stayed there all test's with previous trainers wanting Pikachu failed miserably as he thunder shocked each human there, all except for Prof. Oak hating the fact that Oak was still a human being. However he saved Pikachu's life and he owed him that much then one day he met Ash a stupid boy only caring about winning he thought at first, listening to his mother still after all these years he hated Ash's guts totally. Until he saved his life from the horde of Spearow and rushed him to the Pokemon center from that day on he knew some humans are not all evil, some have pure hearts ones that love and care for him (Poke-translator on). "Mom its me Pikachu your son I know its been so long since back then but still I can feel that you can hear me so please so much has happened to me, over my life I have met a human yes I know you said there evil and bad. But this one I met his name Ash Ketchum he is a wonderful human being a boy, who loves me risked his life for me on thousands of times and even battles. I don't listen to him as a slave or even as a Pokemon I listen to him because, he loves me and I love him he'd do anything for me and I feel the same way. I just want to say I'm sorry for breaking your rules and all but I just have to Ash is always my best friend and so is Misty Brock Tracey and Ash's mom, they have loved me as if I was there own so I just uh……..I love you mom". (Poke-translator off) saddened deeply seeing his mother's grave still Pikachu felt a huge sigh of relief and now feels much better for saying his emotions, but to an even bigger shock came to him as he turned around and saw Ash. Standing Pikachu gasped with a huge scared face totally embarrassed in front of Ash but instead of any comments words or even a laugh Ash smiled, wiping away a small tear from his right cheek he said softly to his Pika pal. "Oh Pikachu I had no idea about your mom I think its sweet about what you said about how you feel about me but I know right now Peach somewhere, she is smiling because her son has made her so proud" "Pikachu-oh Ash". Without saying another word Pikachu ran smiling and crying his tears happily falling from his face into the sunlight of the sun high in the sky, as the 2 hugged warmly and happily feeling their love for each other so joyful. Their love was overflowing with happiness and pure enjoyment Misty and Tracey smiled and hugged in too happy for both Ash and Pikachu, able to bury their past's Ash and Misty said "Oh Ash" "Oh Misty" "Chu-guys". "Oh if they say one more love ting I'm going to throw up till my fur turns green, yuck" Meowth said evilly making fake barfing sounds by Jesse and James. As out of the blue Team Rocket stood there grinning and laughing staring down on our shocked heroes kneeling their boots on Ash's dad's grave, "What are you creeps want I thought we got rid of you earlier" "Yeah right. Sorry super twerp but Team Rocket is like a boomerang we return after every throw to cause you more pain and trouble" James said with a giggle, "Did someone say trouble?" "I think its double" and the music returned. "To protect the world from devastation to unite all people's with in our nation, to denounce the evils of truth and love" "OH SHUT UP you said this already". Misty screamed turning bright red sick just as Ash and Pikachu are of hearing that stupid Team Rocket motto Jesse screamed turning redder than, Misty as she exploded with rage "Never interrupt the Team Rocket motto". But elsewhere where the awful annoying motto can not be heard in the dead void and empty airless area known as outer space there digging deeper and, deeper into the dark depths of the silent section space we pass from Earth. Further into its galaxy close to the moon lays the scattered metal parts and space aged technology once founding home base of Mewthree's spaceship, now just a quiet junkyard of garbage and wrecked robot parts past all that. A small tiny silver dot closer viewed is shown to be a lost Doomsday drone, the deadly demon bio-brigade of super robots that Mewthree had built. Sending billions of those wicked cyber soldiers to attack and capture all living creatures of the peaceful planet Earth for 3 long years this drone, has been laying here lifeless floating around and around in the void of space. That is until now its dark red eyes lit up its engines roared jolting with electric life the reactivated robot turned sideways and stared at the Earth, jetting its engines to a burning inferno the robot blasted toward the planet. Its memory programming had waken it from cyber suspension awaiting for its command to come back online and initiate its programmed given plans, its hawk like eyes targeted area after area across the globe searching for Ash. Spotted in the Pallet Town graveyard the robot grinned as it zoomed easily threw the Earth's fiery atmosphere and jetted maximum speed to its target, back down Ash Misty Tracey Togepi and Pikachu were fleeing for life. As the twisted Team Rocket rammed threw tree after tree in their titanium tank, "How the heck did they bring a tank all the way here without us seeing it?". Tracey said screaming as he ducked and dodged a cannon blast Misty replied "How do they survive blasting off who knows so just RUN", Ash and Misty ducked screaming and shrieking each blast coming closer to em. "Pikachu pika, pika pi Pikachu-I have had enough okay try a thunder bolt" Pikachu said blasting out an electrical attack, he gasped running as the bolt just deflected off the tank Meowth laughed. "Nice try hot shot but dis time we came prepared dis tank is 100% rubber plated, no thunder bolt you can squeeze out can even dent us ha, ha" "That's right". Jesse and James both said giggling evilly as they fired the cannon again and again Jesse shouted "You want us to stop you'll have to surrender Pikachu", "Never" Ash screamed and held his butt barely avoiding a huge explosion. "Ouch maybe I shouldn't have yelled at them" "Pikachu pika-yeah maybe" they continued to run as the explosions continued scorching their behinds, James pushed the firing button rapidly laughing like a maniac schoolboy. "This is the most fun I've had in my entire life this time Pikachu is the bag oh boy now nothing can stop us not even uh?" but he stopped shocked, as his eyes looked threw the tank's window visor his pupils widened with fear. "Uh Jesse can this tank survive a huge flaming comet?" "Of course not James its only rubber why do you ask?" "cause here comes one now AHH", James screamed as he pointed toward the flaming object scorching for them. Jesse soon screamed in fear as did Meowth as in seconds the massive object crashed a might destructive blast Ash Misty and Tracey stopped gasping, their mouths open with shock as beneath the wreckage of the vaporized tank. A barbecued Jesse James and Meowth came out whining "What a burn" then collapsed in burning pain and agony "Oh my god Ash what happened?", "I don't know Misty but I think were about to see" "Pika Pikachu-I'm scared". Tracey added "Were all scared Pikachu but we got to face our fears some day" as the dust cleared and Team Rocket came cowering back to the gang, the deadly Doomsday drones shattered the flaming tank parts laughing. An evil mechanical laugh of pure evil Ash Misty and Pikachu shrieked in fear, seeing the drone wishing it was a nightmare that had passed but it wasn't. "Ash that's a Doomsday drone but I thought you said they were all destroyed in the war" "I thought so Tracey but I guess we missed one man", but before any more woes or vows of vengeance came out the drone spoke. Its eyes glowed bright white like TV screens soon enough the eyes produced a hologram video picture of the dead lord himself Mewthree he bellowed, "Dear Ash and his bumbling gang of goofballs if you are hearing this now. It means that you wretched piles of puke pest's are alive and, has defeated my empire well by now it has been 3 long years ever since my destruction yes". "Your right owe" Ash said as misty slapped his head "It's a hologram video he can't hear you its only a message" Mewthree continued "As you can see, I was not stupid boy I planned everything all out in case of my own death. Now this lone Doomsday drone has been my test subject for a secret weapon I have been developing over my years of entrapment in space many failed, results had slowed me down but finally I created the perfect super weapon. But it ahs never been tested yet and to make sure it finally is today is my lucky day "Huh?" Team Rocket said together shaking nervously, "As soon as this message ends my final plan operation: Last resort will commence. Last resort is a transdimensional portal over my years up here I have seen gateways other dimensions to new worlds with monster aliens and creatures, that are even stronger than me and for my own place from beyond the grave. I shall plummet you brats into a New World will you shall die and be banished into eternal darkness and die like you belong with all your friends, and family goodbye Ash Ketchum Last resort activate NOW" it stopped. The image quickly vanished and in seconds the Doomsday drone glowed bright white as if evolving its body expanded larger and larger too large, as its bionic body exploded creating a galactic blast blinding all who saw it. Ash Misty and Tracey screamed in horror as a huge black like hole appeared echoing dark sounds of death and despair instantly Team Rocket was pulled, violently into the hole too weak to fight back they screamed vanishing off. "Looks like Team Rocket's transporting off again" and with a small spark they were gone the force was too might and soon Togepi was pulled in too, screaming Misty cried "TOGEPI" "PIKACHU" Ash added Pikachu went. And soon after Tracey screamed crying in fear as he was plunged into the darkness of the dimensions only Misty and Ash were left clinging to a tree, its old trunk was cracking off as soon they were handing on by only a hand. Before they disappeared though Misty cried out to her true love as if about to die "Ash I swear no matter where we go or what happens I will find you, I love you" "I love you too Misty I'll never lose you not again we'll be here. Together forever" they said and sealed it all with a kiss a sickening crack shattered the kiss as they fell into the hole screaming holding tightly on, to each other as eventually they were all sucked into the shrinking black hole. Now nothing was left they were all sucked up into the portal being sent to god knows where they will end up and what monsters roam that world, with the portal gone and the drone destroyed it seems all hope has just vanished. Aftermath the school of events after a major event today Ash learned a lesson too late he who laughs last laughs best and Mewthree laughed last, beyond the grave he has banished them into new worlds of danger and evil. Always beware of an Aftermath no matter what happens to you by a game a vacation trip or even a worldwide war because if you don't watch out for it, it will swallow you whole and take you into places you never dreamed of. For now our heroes are plunged into worlds of monsters animals and other things that bump in the night the war may be over but their next battle, has just arrived Mewthree has left a impact on this world one no one will forget. Ash Misty Tracey Pikachu and Team Rocket has survived the war now they must live threw the Aftermath no matter what the future holds, new friends new enemies or something more either way the consequences can be deadly. THE END!
