“You know, I never have seen a Hoenn pokemon” Ash said as they flew to the islands.
“You didn’t hear? it was all over the news for awhile.”
“What?”
“A haze has cut our regions off from Hoenn, it is impenetrable.  Many have tried to pass through and all have failed.”
“Since when?”
“Just after we took over the Cerulean gym.”
“Good thing I didn’t go then.”
“Yes, we would have never gotten married if you had.”  They flew on and finally landed on an island.  “The barrier is not far from here, if you want to see it.”  Misty said.
“I think that I might.”  They took off again and few out to sea.  Eventually, an orange hue stood in front of them.  “I will try to go through.”  Ash said, and then crashed right into it.  “I wonder who put this here.”
‘We did’ he then saw a bubble not far away, approaching him and he knew who was in it.
‘Hello, Mew’ Misty projected.
‘Hi, Misty’ Mew thought back cheerfully.
‘Why is this here?’  Ash inquired.
‘When you talked of the region, we decided to check it out.  Most were intimidated by their looks, but I alone went all the way in and talked to them.’
‘And?’
‘They’re all jerks’
‘Coming from you, that means they must have been very impolite’ Misty broke in.
‘They were, but if you wish to enter and see the place a little, I can give you the ability to go through, but none of us can help you while on that side, it is rather dangerous to the mind.  All pokemon who enter contract a disease that cause them to become temporarily feral and humans get depressed.’
‘Okay, we will go’ Misty answered.  A hole in the haze appeared and they went through and finally saw Hoenn, them and pikachu recovering quickly due to the psychic barriers they had learned to make.  They landed in a place called Littleroot and meet the resident professor.  They then go on to Petalburg and meet a girl called May.  She told them that she had given up pokemon and tried to travel the world, only to find the haze obstructing her.  They go on but before they do “Prepare for trouble”
“And make that double”
“Jesse!  James ! Meowth!  I wondered where you went.”  Ash cried.
“Twerp!  But you were on the other side when the haze came.” Jesse sputtered.
“I know, but being world class trainers, we called some favors and now I and Misty are free to pass through the barrier.”
“We haven’t done so bad either, we managed to unite the warring crime teams and create a new team rocket.”
“That’s nice, we’ll just be going then.”
“Not so fast!”  Jesse said.  “We are a lot better than you remember and we’ll be taking your pokemon.”
Ash sighed and said “What do you think I have been doing?”  He sent out his Pikachu, which was very strong and had white hairs from age.  Misty sent out her now very well trained starwe and beat Rocket completely.  It was the first blastoff they’d had in a long time.  They flew around the region, noting what Mew had said was true and one day as they were looking at the magma pokemon in a volcano Misty slipped.  ‘On sesame’ Ash commanded at once and pulled Misty’s mind out of her body and then took it into himself.  ‘You can’t let this happen!’ she said in a voice that would have tears if it could.  He sent out his Alakazam, which managed to teleport Misty’s body out and she returned to it.  “That was good thinking, first securing my mind.”  She said as she got up.
“This makes me wonder though.  We may actually die some time and we know neither wants that.”  He said.
“What do you think we should do, we are mortal after all.”
“Not totally, we can project our minds into other things.”
“You have a plan, then?”
“Legendary pokemon cannot die, so we could take their bodies when we are close to death.”
“That sounds evil!”
“Not totally, I don’t mean take the bodies of pokemon that are alive, I mean animate their offspring.”
“Would they allow it?”
“I think so.”
    They flew back to Kanto and met with the legends.  An articuno and moltres agreed to allow them to animate their chicks when the time came.  So the two masters lived out their lives and when they were old and dying, they were visited by the two pokemon, who laid their eggs upon the bed and Ash and Misty the humans were no more.
The absolute end.(NOT, like you could expect that out of someone who started by saying that time is malleable?)

A note or two: The episode with the knickerbockers happened way after I started writing this.  Another thing is that although Ash may seem unnaturally intelligent in this, he isn’t.  I just have been dealing with subjects that I notice he seems to get smarter once it happens, like pokemon battling.  Another note, in case you didn't get the hint, I am not finished with them.  There are now going to be a few setups (I'll tell you where they fit in) and then on to the time breach, which will make the version of history you just read look very very boring indeed.  If you thought it was boring, send me a line and rant all you want, cause I find it highlarious.
