                                                Ash’s P.O.V   BEFORE HE DIED

 

My eyes fluttered open, Pikachu was no where in sight. I started panicking. Where could he be? He couldn’t be far, right? What if Team Rocket took him while I was asleep? I got up on my feet and started searching the bush’s around me.

 

“Pikachu?!?!” I called again and again. So far no luck. I searched further calling Pikachu. Then, I noticed a bush rustle. “Ah-ha!” I walked over to the bush and pulled away some brush. As soon as I saw what was behind that bush I backed up, frantically. An angry Ekans came slithering out.

 

“Ekansssssss!” It hissed. I was on his territory. I reached for my Pokeballs on my belt.

 

“Wahhh!” I called when I felt no Pokeballs that were supposed to be clipped to my belt. I had forgotten they were left at the campsite. It started coming towards me even more… Before I had time to run away it clamped it’s jaws on my ankle.

 

“OOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWW!” The pain ran through me. Poison leaked in from my belt. Everything started to get foggy. I could barely make out the Ekans hurrying away when a noise in the bush occurred not far away. I wobbled over to a tree and set myself against it. I covered up my injury with my sock. Pikachu came trotting through the bushes and saw me. He lain down on my stomach and fell asleep right before I fell into a deadly unconsciousness.

 

                                                Misty’s P.O.V. AFTER THE DEATH OF ASH

 

I sat there, crying. Franky and Brock came running up to me, puffing. They stopped when they saw the sight. Ash on the ground, lifeless, me, crying my heart out, and Pikachu trying to Thunderbolt him awake. None of it came to use. Tears could not bring Ash back to me. I grasped Ash around the stomach and set my head on his chest. I listened for his heartbeat, I wanted him to wake up, I knew it was impossible though.

 

“Poor Ashy-boy, tch, tch, tch.” The lack of enthusiasm in Franky’s voice told him he did not care. He just wanted me, well he isn’t gonna get me, never.

 

Brock started searching for some kind of injury. He searched his back, chest and stomach, head, and legs. He found no injury. “Well I can’t find an injury.” Brock said, tears leaked out of his eyes. Then, I noticed something. There was a huge blood stain on his sock.

 

“Brock, c-check h-his a-ankles.” I choked out.

 

“Misty, it’s practically impossible to die from your –whoa!” Brock saw the blood stain on Ash’s left ankle. He immediately pulled down Ash’s sock. “He…has…a…snake…bite…Poison.”

 

I burst into more tears. Why did this happen to Ash? Wait! None of this would have happened if Franky didn’t tell Ash it was competition! I hugged Ash tighter and let go. I stood up slowly and walked over to Franky, who still stood there, looking around, aimlessly. He really didn’t care, did he? I pulled my hand back and slapped him as hard as I could.

 

He fell out of his fright and put his hand over his cheek. “What was that for?!?!” Franky asked, outraged.

 

“Yeah Misty, what was that for?” Brock looked towards me for an answer. Pikachu would not take his eyes off Ash. Neither could I. I kept glancing at him, hoping for him to get up. Many tears still fell down my face. My voice was croaky too.

 

“H-He t-told A-Ash……….” I burst into more tears.

 

“Told Ash what?” Brock asked, eyeing Franky.

 

“H-he t-told h-him t-that it w-was c-competition…”

 

“Competition for what?”

 

“M-me… Ash l-loved m-me…”

 

                                                                        ***

 

I sat by the campfire, crying. Brock and I had made Franky leave in an outrage. If Franky hadn’t told Ash everything he did, Ash would still be here. Brock came into view, carrying a squabbling Pikachu.

 

“I used Zubat to go get the paramedics…” I stood up frantically and ran towards where I found Ash. I rushed through the forest pushing the weeds and big plants aside to get to Ash. I heard Brock calling in the distance for me to come back. I ignored him. I just had to see Ash at least one more time, even if he was…you know…gone.

 

I soon came to the clearing where Ash lain. I slowly walked up to him and sat down. He didn’t look anything like pleasant. He had an uncomfortable look on his face of pain. His skin was gray and pale, and he was freezing. I grabbed his hand in attempt to warm it up. I started talking to him. I knew he couldn’t here me, but maybe his spirit would?

 

“You know, Ash, I had my doubts that you loved me, or ever could…” My eyes got all watery again. “I just wish I would have told you earlier or you would have told me… I don’t know. We made Franky leave. It was his fault! …No, it was my fault too. I completely ignored you when he was here earlier. It was my fault that I gave up on our chance to ever be together…”

 

I couldn’t go on anymore, I just curled up to Ash. It wasn’t very comforting, but it was better than me being away from him. An abnormally big tear fell from my aqua eyes and fell onto Ash’s heart. I smiled an awkward smile and muttered something under my breath. “If only tears could bring you back to me…”

 

When I said that, the world around me started spinning. A silvery substance surrounded me and I felt my hand drop Ash’s. It looked as if I were in one of those movies with special effects. I closed my eyes to block the spinning liquid and smoke. It was making me extremely dizzy. A few minutes of this went on.

 

All of the sudden I was jerked to a stop. I fell back on the grass and sighed. I closed my eyes from the sun that was hovering over me. Then something hovered over me closer. It blocked the light from the sun and I opened my eyes. It took a second to adjust to the light.

 

“Misty, you all right?” It was ASH! I stared into his eyes, not replying. There was something different about Ash though. He was shorter, his face was younger looking and less complex in the eyes. His voice was higher pitched too.

 

“Misty? HELLO!” Ash waved a hand in front of my face.

 

“Yeah I’m all right.” I got up, something was different with me. I felt shorter and I was taller than Ash, which when Ash was almost fourteen he had growth spurt. I had my hair up which grew old for me when Ash said I looked better with it down when I turned thirteen.

 

I ran over to my backpack and took out my diary and read the date in the corner. My eyes went huge when I read it. June/16/2002! I was twelve again!
