It was a few days after Ash's funeral. May was still here and Gary had been helping Delia out. Dawn however, was recovering; but she had a plan in her head.
"Done. I'm done." Dawn said closing out of the website she was on.
She hurried down to the living room. May, who was turning the corner to go talk to Dawn, got knocked over by the hyper adult running down the stairs.
"Ehh...sorry, May." Dawn said sheepishly.
"It's fine. No harm done." May said while getting up.
"Where's Gary?"
"Umm..."
"Hey Dawn. Hey May." Gary's voice came.
The two girls nodded.
"I need to talk to you two." Dawn said.
So the three went into the living room and sat down.
"I have a plan." Dawn announced.
The other two looked at her confused.
"I have a plan to bring Ash back to life."
They looked at her as if she had grown two heads.
"D-"May started.
"Stop it! Don't tell me he can't come back. He can come back."
"Well, tell us the plan." Gary said, crossing his arms and leaning back.
"You said Jirachi can grant any wish."
"So we travel to Hoenn and search for Jirachi?" Gary asked, catching on to the plan.
Dawn nodded her head.
"But Dawn, Jirachi could be any where. How are we supposed to find it?" May asked raising her eyebrow.
"I don't know...but we just have to, somehow! Think about Ash. If he were in our position, what would he do? The Ash Ketchum I knew would never give up on anything he put his mind to! If the possibility existed for something, no matter how small the chance, he would seize the chance and do anything he could. He's gone out of his way to help people, Pokemon, and even us along his journeys. Can we do any less?"
The two thought for a few minutes, letting Dawn's words sink in
"Come on, do it for me...and for Ash. It may be slim, but one shot in a million is better than no chance at all." she said hopefully.
"I'm in. Ash didn't deserve to die." Gary said.
"Yeah. Gary's right! I'm in too!" May cried.
Dawn couldn't believe her ears. She jumped up and tackled her two friends in a hug.
"Thank you!" she cried.
"Your welcome, Dawn." they replied, hugging her back.
So the three started planning to head out.
~Meanwhile in Saffron City~
"Do you know the plan?" Giovanni asked.
"Yeah." the emotionless voice answered.
"Good, good. Now pick your Pokémon you wish to take."
"I'm not taking any of your Pokémon."
"Then where will you get them?"
"I have my ways. See ya."
"Shadow, you will not leave yet."
Shadow stopped at the door and faced Giovanni.
"What?" Shadow asked, annoyed.
"Take these." He paused. "They'll come in handy."
Giovanni tossed something and Shadow caught it easily.
"What are these?" Shadow asked, looking at the Pokéballs attached to the belt.
"Dark balls."
"Perfect." Shadow smirked and left the room.
~Back in Pallet Town~
Dawn, May, and Gary were in the kitchen talking to Delia.
"That is so kind of you three." Delia said as she poured some tea into four cups.
"We are going to leave in a few days." Dawn said.
Delia nodded her head and then she looked up from the tea.
"Dawn, will you do me a favour?" she asked.
"Yes, of course."
"Will you see if Pikachu will let you be his trainer?"
"Of course I will."
Delia nodded her head again with a small smile on her face.
"Dawn, guess what we can do while searching?" May said.
"What?" Dawn asked.
"We can participate in contests!"
"Really?"
May nodded her head and smiled. Her friend had her spark back, well for now she did.
"Awesome, I can't wait!"
But no matter what, we'll search and we'll find Jirachi. Dawn thought.
Gary stood up from the table and went to the door.
"Is he ok?" Delia asked.
"We'll go check." May said.
May and Dawn hurried to the door and stepped outside to find Gary.
"What's wrong?" Dawn asked.
"Well I just realized something." Gary said looking off in the distance.
"What?" May asked.
"His Pokémon are left without no trainer now." he said sadly.
"You're right."
The three looked off into the distance and walked back into the house.
~A few days later~
It was the day the three were going to set off to Hoenn. Dawn and May were finishing getting ready.
May wore a red tank top, black tight shorts, and red and white sneakers. She also attached a red fanny pack around her waist and added black gloves. Her hair was left down and she was fastening a white bandanna with a black 'M' on her head.
Dawn wore a black mini skirt, a dark blue tank top, and black knee high boots. She also put on Ash's Sinnoh hat and pulled her hair into a ponytail.
"Done." they said once they finished.
Dawn grabbed a black bag and the two walked down the stairs to find Gary.
Gary wore a black shirt, dark jeans, and black sneakers. He also had a dark colored bag by his feet.
"Well we're about to leave." Dawn said.
Delia walked up to them.
"Good luck and be safe." Delia said hugging each on of them.
"We will. We promise." the three replied.
Dawn looked at Delia and said, "The next time you see us back in Pallet Town, we'll be bringing Ash back with us...alive."
Delia was inspired by Dawn's courage. She's so confident, just like Ash was. And her dedication to her goal of finding Jirachi shows just how deep her love is for Ash. I hope they succeed for all of our sakes.
"Pikachu!" Dawn called.
Pikachu came down the stairs and leaped on to Dawn's shoulder. Pikachu had agreed to travel with Dawn and let her train him. He would also battle for her, if need be.
"Oh yeah. I called the professor and he said when we arrive we can choose a starter. The professor carries the starter Pokémon now." Gary said suddenly.
"Oh, cool." the girls replied.
So the three left the house and headed towards the docks to board the ship that would take them to Hoenn.
Little did they know was that someone was spying on them. He was out of hearing range, but judging by the way the three were dressed, he could tell that they were leaving on a long journey.
"So, it seems that they are leaving for somewhere. We need to find out where and why they're going."
So the quest to find Jirachi has begun! Where will this quest take our three heroes? Can Jirachi be found? And can Ash really be brought back life? Be sure to keep reading to find out!
