In case you can’t remember, this spawned off Dragon’s Love, can’t say I’m extremely proud of it, but I tried!

Chapter 4: And the End

The two timelines crossed and then separated, Ash going to where he should be as Red let out a sigh of relief. The pressure was finally gone.

Misty and Brock flung themselves through space unknowingly as the loop activated, and snapped back. It was all finished.

Finally…

Red looked up at Lance. “Well, we did it.”
“That we did, although I’m glad it was so simple.”

“But Lance-chan, don’t you even wonder about what might have happened?”

“No, I’m just here to rationalize and lock myself into this reality.” Lance said simply, before she kissed him.

The other Elite laughed, and left the area, leaving the two alone.

That was the way things were.

Ash and Misty and Brock found themselves in a pond, but at least they were home. Why were they in Pallet? It was never really clear, but he had meant to visit his mother anyway.

She was so happy to see him.

Pikachu was glad to be home too.

The Sandshrew had somehow vanished, but it wasn’t too much of a loss, luckily. He never did find another ground pokemon to add to his team.

But at least that would help…

Ash never did tell Misty and Brock what really happened, and frankly, it was too much for his mind to digest either way. So life went on and this was never mentioned, until it was forgotten.

*ALTERNATE ENDING 1 for the Anime*

“Ash!”

“Misty!”

The two trainers both looked away, blushed, and then screwed up their courage and hugged each other.

“Oh Ash, I was so afraid you’d die…”

“Me too, Misty.” Ash said, passionately kissing her. One thing led to another and well, nine months later, there was hell to pay.

*Evil Cackle*

*ALTERNATE ENDING 2 for the Anime*

“Brock…”

“Ash…”

“I finally realized that I love you.” Both chorused.

“Brock!”

“Ash!”

“Brock!”

“Ash!”

… well, we can assume what happens next

*ALTERNATE ENDING 3 for the Anime*

“It’s all your fault we got lost!”

Ash moaned as he was malleted. * I should have stayed… *

Back in the other dimension, Red glared at the mirror. “Oh no you don’t! You are not coming back here!”

“I should hope not.” Lance mentioned, as she took careful aim and launched a Q-tip through the mirror.

Red blinked. Then, he laughed.

In the mirror through the dimensions, it gained mass from all the collected space dust, until finally, what looked like a giant nuclear warhead landed on Misty.

Brock and Ash quickly ran, not wanting to be witnesses. An explosion sounded minutes later, apparently space dust was combustible. Ah well.
