"And I think Unknown sent me here," Ash finished. Tyson was searching his cupboard for something. "Wow…" Max finally said. "That's really unbelievable!"

"It is not!" Tyson replied.

"Why not, Tyson?"

"Here," Tyson threw a comic book down. "Check it out!"

"Hey that's me!" Ash cried. He flipped through the pages. "Oh, and Misty, and that's Brock! And Tracey too…"

"Oh, so Ash is a …comic book character?" Ray watched Tyson circle around Ash.

"Isn't that cool???" Tyson asked excitedly.

"…I am soooo not a comic book character!" Ash protested.

"Well, yeah, not anymore. How do we get him back?" Max looked around. "Kenny?"

"Well… I think I'll need some time," Kenny answered. "Anyway… while you're here… you should buy some clothes, find a place to stay and don't disturb me!" With that Kenny went off somewhere with his computer.

There was silence for a while. Finally Ash spoke.

"What? How the heck do I do those things? That's Brock's work."

"Well, you're welcome to stay here, if you want," Tyson offered.

"Really? Thanks!"

"Anyway, let's go shopping, and buy you some clothes!" Tyson abruptly dragged Ash out the door, followed by Max and Ray. "Coming Kai?" Kai just 'humphed'. "Oh, well, you'll miss all the fun, as usual."

"But he didn't say anything, yet!" Ash glanced back at the teen, who hadn't moved from his pose.

"That's his way of answering."

"Why? Can't he talk?"

"He suffers from an illness called, 'can't-talk-about-anything-but-blading'," Tyson grinned. Max giggled and Ray smiled. "Some things never change…"

-----------------------------------

As they walked into town, Ash noticed that Tyson seemed to get a LOT of attention. And Tyson sure seemed to enjoy it! "Wow…" Ash stared at Tyson. "He sure is popular…"

"Yeah, he's the World Champ, and three times in a row too."

"He's the world champion?" Ash asked in disbelief. Ray and Max exchanged glances. They sighed. Tyson was going to let this attention get to his head… again.

Anyway, after the tiresome shopping trip, (which took about a couple of hours, thanks to Tyson's devoted fans…) the group returned to the dojo, and Ash started to settle in.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Anyway, Ash is going to stick around for a while… and deal with a lot of problems… Muahahahahaha! I evil.
