Time After Time

Chapter One: Past Is Past

What if you could change time? That’s what this story is about. Ash Ketchum is struggling to get over disturbing memories from his childhood. He discovers that he is able to travel back in time and alter events in his past. However, every change he makes transforms his life and that of those around him, often to unexpected and disastrous consequences. Change one thing…change everything.

(This is similar to the movie The Butterfly Effect. So you will see many similarities if you’ve seen that movie. If not, then see it some time. In fact I took The Butterfly Effect‘s story, so it‘s not original. But I definitely changed it to fit with Ash‘s life. I don’t know if I even use the same lines as that movie…)

 

A young boy sits at the kitchen table of his house, writing in his journal. This boy is Ash Ketchum. ‘Today is my 5th birthday and I’m having my party at the beach. Misty and her family are gonna be there. Misty is so pretty. When I grow up I’m going to marry her.’ Ash finished his entry.

“Ash! Go get washed up! It’s about time to leave!” Ash heard his mother, Delia shout. “Ok, Mommy.” Ash ran out of the kitchen and into the bathroom.

Delia came into the kitchen and went into the fridge to get something to drink. When she returned with a Diet Coke, she noticed her son’s journal on the table. “It wouldn’t hurt to see what he’s written.” she said, and took a seat at where Ash had been sitting moments earlier.

She read his latest entry and was very surprised at how well he was able to write, giving his young age. “Ok Mommy, I’ve washed up.” Ash was back in the kitchen, showing his clean hands for proof.

“Ashton, you’re gonna do really well in life.” Delia told her son. “Huh?” Ash was confused. “I read your journal. You’re only five and you can write journal entries.” she praised her song.

But she noticed the face Ash expressed. It wasn’t a too thrilled expression. “I’m sorry.” she apologized to him. “Mommy!” Ash yelled at her. “I’m sorry. Now go get ready.” Delia told him. Ash angrily stormed off to his bedroom.

Ash and his mother had arrived at Cerulean Beach, where Ash’s party would be hosted. Our little hero now walked along the beach beside his seven year old friend, Misty Waterflower. They are joined by Misty’s older cousin at age 12, Starn who walks behind them for security(they are only 5 and 7 and need to be protected from the ocean).

The two kids were silent as they walk alongside the ocean in the sand. “What do you want for your birthday, Ashton?” Misty broke the silence. Little Ash Ketchum had to think about it for a second.

“…I don’t know. I just want something special.” he finally responded. Misty stopped in her tracks just then, and leaned down and reached into the sand. When she came back up, she had a seashell mixed with the colors blue, brown, and pink.

“Here you go. Hope it’s special.” Misty said, as she handed Ash the shell. Ash looked into her eyes, and then took it from her. The next thing he knew, her lips were pressed against his cheeks.

She soon separated and ran off towards the adults, and where the party would be starting. Ash examined his gift for a short time, and then stuffed it into his pocket. Then he ran after Misty. Starn soon followed him.

“Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday dear Ashton. Happy birthday to you.” everyone sang to Ash as he sat at a table on the beach. Everyone clapped as they finished. At his party was his mother and father, and Misty’s family, that included her three sisters, her cousin, and her mother and father.

“Make a wish, Son.” Ash’s father told him. Ash closed his eyes and thought about it. It didn’t take long before he reopened his eyes, and blew out the five candles on the cake.

Ash was now opening his presents. He opened a small box, that had a poke’ball inside. “Wow! A poke’ball!” Ash was excited to receive it. He was startled however when a pidgey jumped out of the ball shouting “Pidgey! Pidgey! Pidgey!” he threw the ball in his shock.

His father was there to catch the ball though. “There you go, Son. You’re first poke’mon.” his dad joke of the alarm clock he gave his son. Everyone laughed at the joke.

After everyone had eaten, the kids were all in the ocean playing. Ash, Misty, Daisy, Lilly, and Violet were getting on Starn’s nerves however, as he was trying to talk to a girl he met. “Stop splashing me!” he yelled to Violet.

Starn turned to see the shocked face of the girl he was talking to, and then he saw the sad face of Violet. “I mean, go on Violet, go play with your sisters.” he tried to correct himself.

Then Daisy and Lilly jumped out from behind him “Boo!” they screamed. “Ahh!” Starn was startled. “Err!” he was upset at them. But it was making the girl he was talking to laugh.

“Hey guys, let’s head over to those rocks and play.” he suggested to the kids. Then they noticed the many large rocks not too far away. “Oh cool! Let’s go Misty!” Ash had already taken off towards the rocks.

“Wait for me Ashton!” Misty shouted as she gathered her sisters, and ran after him.

Ash had reached the rocks by now, and was climbing up on top of them. He was about to yell to Misty to hurry up, when he saw a sight below him on the other side of the rocks.

It was his father…kissing another woman. “Daddy?” Ash asked, silently. Then he climbed down from the rocks, the side he climbed up. He watched as Misty and her sisters came running towards him.

Ash sits in his room, writing in his journal yet again. “I had a good birthday today. But I saw daddy kissing another girl that was not mommy. I told mommy about it and she got mad. She’s yelling at daddy right now. But the best part of the party was when Misty gave me a pretty seashell and kissed me on the cheek. And my birthday wish was that me and Misty would be together forever.” Ash finished his journal entry, and went to sleep.

Two years later…

“Goodbye, Sweetie. I’ll see you soon. Be good for Ron.” Delia told her son, after giving him a big hug and a kiss. “Ok, Mommy.” the seven year old Ash agreed. Ron, is Misty’s uncle, and now Delia’s boyfriend, since she divorced Ash’s father. “We’re gonna have a great time.” Ron said, and kissed Delia before she left.

Later, Ash, Misty, Daisy, Lilly, and Violet were all playing in the back yard. They were playing tag. Ron watched the kids from a window of the house. He decided it was time to go out and get them. “Come on in kids. We’re gonna make a movie.” he told them, holding his cam corder. “What kind of a movie?” Ash asked. “A romance movie.” Ron smiled.

They were now all in the basement, where the ‘movie’ would be shot. Ron began telling the plot “Ok Ashton. You will be James Bond. And you have just saved these four girls from the bad guy. Now because our bad guy, who is suppose to be played by Starn isn’t here. We’ll skip to the part after you save the girls. The part when you have to take turns kissing and being naked with each of them.” he told them, making the kids wide-eyed.

“Ok Misty, take off your clothes. Daisy, Lilly, Violet, you too. And of course you Ashton. You’re the stud.” Ron told them. “But why?” Ash asked. “Because it’s part of the movie Mr. Bonds. Now hurry up or you don’t get lunch.” Ron began getting loud. Ash and the girls did as directed.

Now we shift to Starn riding his bike down the side walk, and pulling into his house. After locking up his bike, he entered his home. “Hello…? Dad?” he asked. “Come on! Do it!” he heard his dad from the basement. Starn decided to go see what was happening.

But when he opened the door, he saw a terrible scene. “Oh my god.” Starn was in shock, and ran out of the basement.

Ash sat in in now empty bedroom, writing in his journal. “I’m sorry I haven’t written in you in awhile. But I have just went through a bad time. I was in a movie where me and Misty and her sisters had to do something horrible. Mommy made me block out what happens next. Misty’s uncle, Ron, got taken to jail. But now me and Mommy are moving away from Cerulean City. And away from Misty.” Ash finished, tears stained the sheet of paper he was writing on.

Delia loaded a box into the trunk of her car, and then got into the driver’s seat. Ash stood in the drive way by the car, just looking at the house one last time. “Come on honey…get in.” his mother told him, also sad. Ash did as she told him, and got in.

He frowned as he looked into his car door mirror. He noticed Misty running after the car in the mirror. Then he looked out side his window to see her. As she continued chasing the car, Ash got out his journal, and began writing on one of the pieces of paper with a black sharpie.

He ripped it out of the note book and placed it up against the window so Misty could see it. It read “I’ll see you again.” Misty stopped running as the car continued going. Ash let tears run from his eyes. His mother noticed this, and placed a reassuring arm around his shoulders.

Goodbye…

Funny how that's such a hard thing to say
Now it's time to let go but,
never thought I'd feel this way

Promised not to be sad but,
we both knew I was lyin'
Gotta fight back the tears 'cause,
Can't let you see my cryin'

You're more then just my best friend
What makes me misty most of all,
in our final curtain call…
Is knowin' that I won't see you…again…

(“Misty’s Goodbye” from Poke’mon Master Quest episode “Gotta Catch Ya Later”)

One year later…

Delia was washing the dishes in the kitchen, while watching Ash play outside with his new friend Gary and his poke’mon, Eevee. She heard the mail slot open at the door, and went to retrieve it. She re-entered the kitchen and dropped the mail on the kitchen table. But she noticed the envelope on top of the stack had a drawing of a very happy happy face. She opened it up to see her son’s report card.

He had straight A’s. she ran outside to her son, and wrapped him up in a big hug. “Mommy! What are you doing?!” Ash was embarrassed. I’m hugging you!” she happily shouted. “Why?” Ash asked, not able to breathe. She released her son to tell him why “I just got your report card and you got straight A’s.”

“I always get straight A’s, Mommy.” Ash reminded her. She smiled “I know, but I never act like it’s a big deal. But it is. It is.” she said, and wrapped him up in another big hug. “Congratulations, Ashton.” Gary commented. “Thanks, Gary.” Ash thanked him, while still in his mother’s grip.

Ash sat at the kitchen table writing. “I got all A’s on my report card again. So Mommy is going to take me out to do something special tonight. I don’t know what it is exactly. She says’ it’s a ‘surprise.’ I told her I wanted to go back to Cerulean City to see Misty. But, of course, she was still upset about what had happened there and ignored me. We can’t take the car cause it’s still in the shop. So we’re gonna walk to my ‘surprise.’ it’s a good thing Pallet Town is a small place.” he finished.

Ash and his mother were walking at night. ‘I’m so proud of my boy.’ Delia thought. ‘celebrate good times, come on!’ she sang in her head, while smiling, and holding her eyes shut. They were now crossing the street…to get to the other side, when Ash had bent down to tie his shoe, his mother continued walking across the street. “Mommy, wait up!” he shouted, but she was lost in her song.

Ash had finished tying his shoe now, and noticed a speeding car on a collision course with his mother, even though the driver had a stop sign. The car was not slowing down. “Mommy! Look out for the car!” he yelled. But she could not hear him, still lost in song.

Ash had to take action and ran for her “Mommy!!!” he yelled as he pushed her out of the way just in time…but not in time to get out of the way him self, and he took the hit from the vehicle. “Ash!!!” …

Now the eight year old Ash Ketchum laid in a hospital bed. His mom was by his side, crying. “I’m afraid he’s lost all his memory from before the accident.” the doctor told her. (this was quite a while after the accident, and Ash has been going in and out of comas.) “You mean the DAY of the accident?” Delia asked, wiping her tears.

“No. I’m saying his entire memory in his life up to the accident.” Doctor Brown told her, sadly. “Oh my god.” she said very quiet. She began crying even more. “He may never regain that memory. But he does know his name. and he knows who you are. But that gift he had for a brain may no longer be what it was.” he admitted. This made Delia, cry more…

Ash was in his bedroom, lying on his bed, writing in his journal. “Mom told me to start riting in my jurnol like I use to. Before I gots hit bi the car. She told me to rite wut I feel and wut happens evry day. Mom said I her hero and i always will be.” he finished ‘riting.’

Two years later…

Misty sat by the edge of the river, waiting for a bite on her fishing rod, when she felt a pull at it. “Oh wow, I got a bite.” she was excited, and started pulling. “All right, I think this really might be a big one!” she pulled harder and harder until finally she pulled the person out of the water and on to land.

“Nah, it’s just a kid.” she said, disappointed “Oh, and a poke’mon.” she said happily. And then she ran up to the boy…Ash. “Are you ok?” she asked. “Yeah, I’m fine.” Ash responded, smiling at her. Then he received a hard smack in the face from the girl.

“Not you, your poke’mon!…is it breathing?” she asked, concerned. “I…I think so.” he responded, not sure. “Well don’t just stand there. You have to get it to a Poke’mon Center right away.” she told him. “Can you tell me where I can find it?” he asked.

“That way.” she said, pointing in the direction. Then their attention turned to the sight of spearows off in the distance, flying their way. “Ahh! They’re coming!” Ash panicked. Then he took Pikachu to a bike near by, and laid him down in the basket at the front.

“Hey, what are you doing?” Misty asked. “I’m borrowing this.” he said, as he hopped on to the bike, and began pedaling away. “That’s my bike!” she yelled. “I’ll bring it back some day!” he shouted as he rode off. “Oh you!” she angrily placed her hands on her hips.

The next day he had reached the Viridian poke’mon center, and was waiting for Pikachu’s out come. He had all his journals being scanned and copied into his poke’dex. (Hey they have stuff we don’t have in the anime world ok? Deal with it) After that had finished up, we went to write/type his first entry of the poke’mon journey.

“Yesterday I began my poke’mon journey. I woke up late and because of that got stuck with a pikachu. I hit a spearow on the head with a rock and he, along with his friends chased me into a river. At the river, a girl saved me. After she told me where a poke’mon center was, I borrowed her bike and rid there. Pikachu is hurt because the spearow attacked him.” he finished, and placed the poke’dex into his pocket.

One year later…

Rudy…you guys remember Rudy right? Well he handed Misty a bouquet of flowers. “Now Misty, I know you’ve already made your decision…but these are for you.” he said, as she took the flowers from him. “Thanks Rudy.” she thanked him

“I hope you know, you’re a very lucky guy, Ash.” Rudy turned to Ash. “Lucky? What do you mean?” Ash asked. “You’ll see some day.” Rudy responded. “Hmm?” Ash was puzzled. “Pika?” Pikachu was as well.

That night when Tracy and Misty were asleep on Lapras, Ash got out his flash light and began typing in his poke’dex. “I met this jerk gym leader named Rudy. He really liked Misty. This guy made me really upset. He was trying to steal my girl. I later found out, because Misty told me, that Rudy wanted her to stay with him. But she said no.’ I guess Misty couldn’t leave her man. Even thought she told me ‘I’m only staying with you cause you still owe me a bike.’ he finished. Then he looked at Misty, a sleeping angel, and smiled at her. Then he put his journal/poke’dex away and went to sleep beside her.

Two years later…

Misty had just been forced to go back to Cerulean City after her sister called and told her they were leaving the city on a trip around the world, and Misty was needed to take over the gym. Brock also had to go back home to do some errands. And now they were heading in their destinations. “It’s cause of this bike that I met Ash. Togepii, it was a coincidence that you and I met too.” Misty told her baby poke’mon.

“Ours wasn’t a coincidence. I don’t think it was a coincidence that I met you out of all people.” Ash disagreed with her. “What do you mean Ash?” Misty asked him.

“I guess what I mean is, even though that happened. I think that we were meant to meet and become friends.” Ash smiled at Misty. She smiled back, nodding in agreement.

The group had reached an area that had three paths. One leading to Cerulean City, the other to Pewter City, and the third to Pallet Town. “Guess I’ll be going this way.” Misty said. “Yeah…” Ash sadly said. “Take care Ash…” Misty smiled at him.

“You too Misty.” and he smiled back at her. “Will I…see you again?” she asked, hopingly. “You will…I swear.” Ash responded.

Ash sat in his bedroom, still sad over the loss of his friends. He wrote in his journal “This was probably the worst day of my life. Even though my mom is here, I find my self home alone. My best friends had to go back home today. It was awful, I cried forever. Not only did my friends leave me, but my love left me too. I let my love go without telling her how I felt about her. I’m so in love with Misty. I wanted to tell her, but every time I opened my mouth the wrong thing came out.” Then Ash flash backed…

~“It was awesome watching you battle like that.” Ash congratulated Misty. “Thanks Ash, that’s sweet.” she said, really touched by what he had just said. “And thanks for always being a good friend to me.” she thanked him. “Yeah, sure.” Ash smiled…then his face turned serious, and he looked into her eyes…

“Misty?” he asked “Yeah.” she was quick to respond. “Your bikes there.” he said, looking over to her bike. “Oh…” she said sadly, thinking he was going to say something else.~

Ash snapped back into reality. “Damn it! Why didn’t I tell her?! It was the perfect time! I‘m so stupid!” he banged his head on his desk where he was making his journal entry. Then he went back to his journal.

“I promised we’d see each other again. When that day comes…I will tell her how in love with her I am…” he finished, and he would cry himself to sleep that night.

Three years later…

“I’ve returned home from my poke’mon journey alone once again. May and Max continued on their own journey, while Brock headed back home to see his family. It was six years ago that I left for my journey at age 10. I am now 16, almost grown up.” Ash wrote in his journal, when suddenly

“Ash! Phone call!” he heard his mother yell, and very excited. He jumped up from his desk, and it caused his chair to fall backwards with him in it. He sighed, got up, and went to go answer the phone.

“Who is it?” he asked his mother when arriving in the kitchen. “Someone.” she responded, and walked away. “Hello?” he answered.

“Hi Ash.” Ash only needed to hear the angel voice of “Misty?!…I mean, Misty? What’s going on?” he asked. “Nothing. I’m just being bored here as the Cerulean City gym leader.” she told him. “Oh…”

“I heard you did well in the Battle Frontier.” “Yeah. But not good enough though.” Ash got sad as he responded to her. “So my sisters just left town and went to Paris. Ugh! And I’m really lonesome all by myself. So maybe if you ever get extremely bored sometime, maybe you wouldn’t mind-” Misty was cut off

“Coming over!! Absolutely! I’m on my…I mean.” Ash had to correct him self “yeah, sure, if I get really bored. I’ll check my planner for tomorrow. Not doing anything. I’ll come over then okay?”

“Sounds good. See ya.” she was happy with his response. “See ya…Misty.” he said goodbye to her. He hung up the phone, and went back to his room to continue his journal.

“I talked to Misty for the first time in over a year since she had to leave for Cerulean City again. She WANTS me to come over really badly right now! So I was cool about it and told her to wait until tomorrow. She got upset, but I told her she could wait…whoo-hoo!!!” he finished his entry for the day.

The next day Ash was headed to Misty’s. He got there pretty quick. He was now at her house. ‘Oh man. I didn’t even bring any flowers.’ he realized. He sighed, and rang the door bell anyways.

“Ash! Hi!” Misty greeted him after opening the door. She jumped into his arms and they embraced in a big hug. “It’s been awhile.” Misty said, as they released from their hug. “Sure has.” Ash agreed. “Well come on in.” she said, and led him inside.

After leading him inside to the living room, Ash saw a guy standing there. “Oh, this is my cousin, Starn.” Misty introduced him to Ash. “Hi, I’m-”

“Ash Ketchum. Yes yes. I’ve heard a lot about you.” Starn interrupted Ash. “Well that’s good I guess. I don’t have to tell you about my self.” Ash joked, and they all laughed.

Later than night the three were watching TV. They were watching Scrubs. “I’m gonna go take a shower now.” Ash told them. “Ok, don’t be long, we’ve got some more catching up to do before bed.” Misty said, as he walked down the hall way and into the bathroom.

“I don’t like that guy.” Starn told his cousin, with is arms crossed. “What? Why?” Misty asked, feeling hurt by this. “He’s a perv. He just wants to get into your pants.” he responded.

“You say that about every guy I’m in contact with. Ever since Uncle Ron…well you know.” Misty said. “No. I could read that guy. He was a total disgusting sex rape addict.” Starn said, almost in a whisper.”

“Oh Starn. I know this guy. He’s really sweet. You don’t have anything to worry about.” Misty gave him a reassuring smile. Starn sort of smiled after that.

The next day Ash and Misty sat at the kitchen table catching up on what has happened while they’ve been separated. But their conversation was interrupted when the video phone began to ring. Misty went to it, and answered. She saw her sister’s on the monitor, which made her think more bad news.

“Like hi Misty. We’ve totally decided to stay in Paris permanently. But don’t think we forgot about you. We know you told us you were tired of being a gym leader. So we sold the gym to this really cute guy. You’ll get 25 % of the money. So see ya.” Daisy finished.

“Wait a minute, I-” “Bye Misty.” Daisy hung up on her sister. “Well I guess I’m not a gym leader anymore.” Misty said. “Are you ok with that?” Ash asked.

“I don’t know. Now I have to get a job.” she said, shocked at the turn of events that continued in her life.

Starn had heard the conversation from the hall way, and emerged into the scene. “I can get you a job, Misty.” he offered her. “Yeah?” she asked, smiling. “Yeah. I can get you a job selling event tickets with me…if you’d like?”

“I’d like that.” Misty gave him a hug. “You ok?” Ash asked. “Yeah. Now come on guys, let’s go see a movie.” Misty gave a reassuring smile to the guys. Ash put on his jacket, and they got ready to go.

The three were now all sitting beside each other in the movie theatre. Misty was in the middle of the two. In the movie there was a bad car accident, as one of the vehicles went spinning and spinning. When the spinning subsided, a little girl inside the car was crying and screaming. “Mommy! Daddy!” she yelled, but her parents were motionless at in the front seats.

Misty flinched in her seat, and Ash noticed it. Then without warning Misty got up out of her seat, and walked out of the theatre. Ash watched as she left. Then he shortly afterwards got up out of his seat to go after her, leaving his jacket on his seat.

“Misty. Misty…what’s up? What’s wrong?” he asked as he caught up to her in the empty hall of the theatres. “Sorry. I just relived a horrible past experience.” Misty told him, sniffing back her tears. “Oh…” Ash felt bad, even though he didn’t know what the experience was.

She decided she’d tell her story. “When I was six years old my family and I were driving back home at night from vacation…a drunk driver hit us. I remember my sister’s screaming and crying. My sisters and I were ok, but my parents didn’t make it. They died before the ambulance arrived.” she finished, in tears.

“Oh Misty.” Ash concerned, wrapped her up in a big hug. The two stood hugging for several moments. Then…Misty looked up to her hugger. She looked deep into his eyes…and he looked deep into hers. For the first time ever, Ash was able to really look into those gorgeous eyes.

Then Misty moved forward, leaning in to kiss him. He followed her action. Then their lips finally met. The moment both had been dreaming of since they were little kids. This triggered images in Ash’s head.

~He was a little boy, and he was playing with a little girl. This little girl was Misty. “Ashton!” she yelled, chasing him cause he had stolen her doll. “You can’t catch me!” he was having a good time, as he ran in circles.

The image of the two playing tag in the back yard came into his mind.

Then the two were on the beach, walking alongside the ocean. “Here you go. Hope it’s special.” Misty handed him a sea shell. Then she kissed him on the cheek. Ash placed his hand on the wet spot afterwards.

“I have to move Misty.” he told her. “If you ever feel lonely and miss me. Just hold the sea shell I gave you. I twill remind you of the good times we shared.” Misty told him, and then gave him a kiss on the cheek, and ran off. He watched her as she ran.~

Starn meanwhile was still watching the movie, but nervous that his cousin had gone off with a guy he didn’t trust. Suddenly, a cell phone began ringing. It was coming from Ash’s jacket. He decided he would answer it. So he traded spots with Misty’s seat.

“Hello?” he answered. “Ash?” he heard a female voice ask. “He’s not here right now.” Starn told her. “Well…who ever this is. Tell him his mother called, and to call her back later.” she told him. “Will do.” Starn said, and hung up.

He put the phone back into the pocket of Ash’s jacket, and noticed his poke’dex sticking out. And sticking out of the poke’dex was a piece of paper. He took the piece of paper out, and saw it had password to the dex on it. It was ‘MISTY.’

“Now to find out who this guy really is.” he said, and invaded Ash’s privacy, entering the password and searching through his journal. Starn became disgusted with what he found. It was very detailed descriptions of sex and stuff that would require a higher rating of this story to be told.

Ash and Misty continued kissing in the hall way, now really putting their energy into it. “What the fuck are you doing?!” The two were startled by the burst of shouting that came from Starn. Then he ran up to the two and pushed Ash out of the way.

“Starn! What are you doing?!” Misty got upset at him. “Take a look at this.” he said, angrily. Then he handed Misty the poke’dex. “Hey that’s mine!” Ash shouted, glaring at Starn.

Misty looked up from the poke’dex to Ash. “Ash? Is all this yours?” Misty asked, stunned. Ash took it from her and read through it. “No…NO! this isn’t mine. This is Brock-ahh!”

Ash received a punch in the face from Starn. “I’ll show you what’s yours. A fat lip.” he said, rubbing his fist. Ash got up off the floor, while placing his hand on his left cheek where he took the blow.

“Misty…you, you don’t think I-” “Stop…” Misty stopped him “I want you to leave…” she told him, pointing towards the exit. “But…Misty.” he tried to explain, but it wasn’t working. “Leave!” she yelled. After staring at her in disbelief for a short time, he turned and walked away, sadly.

“Ok you two, stop fighting.” Brock pulled his fighting brothers apart. Then he heard the doorbell. “Ok, you two apologize to each other while I answer the door.” he told them. Brock answered the door. He was surprised to see Ash standing there.

“Ash? Hey-” Brock couldn’t finish as he was sent to the floor after a blow in the face. “What the hell is this?!” why would you put this disturbing sex shit on to MY poke’dex?!” Ash put the poke’dex right into Brock’s face.

Ash hit his friend again. “Ash, I-” Brock was hit again…and again by his long time friend. Brock’s brothers and sisters tried to stop the fighting, as they ran over to them, and tried to pull Ash off. “Ok you two, stop fighting.” on of the kids that was in the fight tried pulling Ash off his brother.

But then he was knocked back by Ash. A police officer across the street saw the fighting and ran over to the brawl. “Stop it!” he yelled, as he pulled Ash off of Brock. “You owe me Brock!” Ash said, as he was taken away.

Soon an ambulance arrived to take Ash to the hospital, and the officer took Ash to jail.

Hmm…Ash has gone through hell hasn’t he? Along with his friends. In chapter two we’ll get to the present. And see what his life is like at age 25. He will find Misty again, but is that a good thing? Find out next…
