I don't own Pokemon, but I do own Dr. John Cane!
Chapter 3: Diagnosis!
The next day was really bad for Ash.
He barely ate his breakfast and ate very little of his lunch, but what was really surprising for all of them was that he didn't eat any of his dinner.
Ash knew that the something had grown a lot in his stomach, but he didn't know that it had grown to stop him from eating anything and boy, was Ash hungry.
(The Next Morning)
Brock had given Ash his breakfast, which Ash just looked at since he didn't really have an appetite with whatever was in his stomach.
"Ash, aren't you hungry?" asked Dawn, watching this happen and Ash nodded 'No'.
"Ash, we need to get you checked out to make sure that it's nothing serious." said Brock, taking Ash's breakfast from him.
"But, Brock, I'm fine. See." said Ash, standing up only to clutch his stomach because it was in pain.
"I don't think so, Mister. I think you need to be checked out right away." said Dawn as Ash sat back down before going and laying on the ground.
"Dawn's right, Ash. We want to make sure that you'll be ok." said Brock, looking down at Ash while both of them were eating their breakfast.
"Ok! Fine! Get me checked out! I don't care!" yelled Ash, getting mad at both himself and his friends, but mostly himself.
Brock and Dawn were a little taken aback by Ash's outburst since they didn't know what caused it to happen since Ash was a pretty calm guy.
"I'm sorry, guys. I'm just frustrated with myself for letting me do this to myself." said Ash, holding his head a little before going back to holding his stomach.
The two accepted Ash's apology and finished their breakfast and quickly packed up so that they could take Ash into town since they were on the edge of the next town, but they soon found out that Ash was in too much pain to stand or walk.
Brock handed Dawn Ash's backpack and Brock carried Ash bridal-style since Ash's stomach was sore to the touch now.
(At The Celestic Town Hospital)
They ran into the hospital and quickly found the front desk and Brock told the nurse at the front desk that their friend was having problems with his stomach and they didn't know what it was and when the nurse heard that, she quickly called for a stretcher and a doctor to come quickly out to the front desk.
In no time at all, the stretcher came along with a doctor and the doctor introduced himself as Dr. John Cane, who had brown hair, brown eyes, a green shirt on underneath the lab coat with a pair of light-colored khaki long pants and a pair of brown dress shoes on, and he said to just call him John.
He rushed Ash back into the Emergency Room and started to work on figuring out what was wrong with him.
By this time, Ash had fallen unconscious and John didn't even know where to start so he started with an x-ray of Ash's entire torso to see what might come up and then, he'll continue from there.
As soon as the x-ray came back, John was shocked at what he found on the x-ray.
He found a blob that had taken up Ash's entire stomach and he thought that it was a tumor so he decided to do an ultrasound on Ash to see if the blob was, in fact, a tumor.
Once he started the ultrasound and he saw the blob, he then saw it move inside Ash's stomach and noticed that it had eyes and when John kept the wand on the spot that he saw the eyes, the thing opened its mouth and saw fangs inside its mouth and it hissed at John for coming into its lair.
John quickly took the wand off Ash's stomach in a surprised motion and quickly figured out what was inside Ash's stomach: a snake.
John got up quickly and told the nurse to get Ash into a room immediately so that he could be looked after while John figured out what to do to help Ash out.
He knew that this had happened before and so he consulted a book called "Unusual Ailments" and he found out everything that he needed to know and then, he went to tell Brock and Dawn what all was going on with Ash.
(With Brock And Dawn)
They were sitting in the waiting, comforting Pikachu about its trainer being ok and that he'll feel better after John took a look at Ash when John came out with a grim look on his face.
"John, what's wrong with Ash?" asked Brock curiously as Dawn held Pikachu in her arms.
"Brock, Dawn, this isn't an easy thing to tell you guys, but here goes nothing. Ash has a snake in his stomach that has taken up the entire capacity of his stomach." said John, looking at Brock and Dawn with a sad look on his face now.
"What? That can't be!" said Brock and Dawn in unison while thinking that John was crazy.
"It can be and it's happening now. There is a way to get rid of the snake, but that would be through surgery without letting the snake get ahold of any liquids because it would grow to burst out of Ash's stomach and he would start to bleed to death. Once we get the snake out of Ash, we can kill it and then, it won't bother anyone ever again." said John, explaining to Brock and Dawn about what's happening to Ash and what might happen if he's left untreated.
"Ok. Let's get Ash taken care of." said Brock, giving John permission to go ahead and do the surgery.
"I agree with Brock, John. I just want Ash to get better." said Dawn, agreeing with Brock with a little worry in her voice about Ash.
