-Ash's Mindscape-

Ash looked around. There was nothing but fog. It was neither warm nor cold. He then heard two familiar voices. He had not heard those voices in years, his true parents.. Raia and James Thorndike. His father was a older version of him except he had his mother's eyes. His mother had long brown hair and her son's eyes. It took Ash a minute to get over the shock. His father was a Aura Knight. Far stronger than any Aura Guardian. His mother used to be the a water trainer for Kanto's elite four before Lorelei came along. She even was Lorelei's teacher.

"Ash.."

"Look at him. What you been eating kiddo?"

Ash embraced his parents.

"Mom, Dad! I missed you so much!" then it occurred to him.

"Wait! If we're together again that means I'm dead." His mother hugged him.

"Actually your in-between life and death, basically a coma."

"What do I do now?" Ash asked.

"That's up to you son. You can pass away with us or you can go back. But first take a look at this." His father and mother took him to the hospital room. Misty had sung her song. (from last chapter) Ash was speechless. She loved him.. All this time.

"Now for one more thing." They brought Ash to present time All of his loved ones were gathered around deciding what to do. Wait longer or pull the plug.

"Please give us some more time to think." Delia asked noticing how distant Misty was.

"Very well." The doctor left them to it.

They all began to sing.. (if only tears could bring you back)

How will I start

Tomorrow without you here

Who's heart will guide me

When all the answers disappear

Is it too late

Are you too far gone to stay

This one's forever

Should never have to go away

What will I do

You know I'm only half without you

How will I make it through

If only tears could bring you back to me

If only love could find a way

What I would do, what I would give

If you returned to me someday

Somehow, someway

If my tears could bring you back to me

I'd cry you an ocean

If you'd sail on home again

Waves of emotion

Will carry you, I know they can

Just love will guide you

And your heart will chart the course

Soon you'll be drifting

Into the arms of your true north

Look in my eyes

And you will see a million tears have gone by

And still they're not dry

If only tears could bring you back to me

If only love could find a way

What I would do, what I would give

If you returned to me someday

Somehow, someway

If my tears could bring you back to me

I hold you close

And shout the words I only whispered before

For one more chance, for one last dance

There's not a thing I would not endure

If only tears could bring you back to me

If only love could find a way

What I would do, what I would give

If you returned to me someday

Somehow, someway

If my tears could bring you back to me

Ash turned to his parents.

"I'm sorry but.." They seemed to know what he was going to choose.

"We are so proud of you dear." His mother said embracing him.

"We will always be with you Ash.." his parents then gave him their wedding rings saying..

"Just in case" and nodding to Misty.

As his parents left they said..

"We love you so much.."

Misty took a look at Ash. She gasped. He was slowly opening his eyes. She tapped Mrs. Ketchum who smiled in tears. Everyone watched in tears of joy. They heard Ash say something..

"I love you too Mom, Dad.." Ash struggled to get up. He was stopped by his mom and Misty.

"Ash, you need to rest."

"Dear don't scare us like that again." Delia tried to scold but failed due to her smile. Ash looked at his mother..

"Mom I.. met them again. My.." He showed her their wedding rings that they gave him. She gasped. He had passed out. His uncle checked him.

"He's okay. Just exhausted. A little sleep is all he needs."

"Delia, what did Ash mean?" Norman asked confused.

They all headed to the Ketchum home except for Misty and Saria who stayed with Ash..

Once everyone was settled Delia started to explain..

"Ash is Actually adopted.."

I hope you did not see that coming. I want this to go into another story.
