Soon Ash and misty found themselves in front of Dawn's tombstone, "ok ash, do your thing" muttered Misty. "curse this curse, it shall end now!" "curse this curse it shall end now!" Ash chanted when suddenly Dawn's tombstone disappeared and Dawn was right in front of them, fully revived, and so did dozens of coordinators that had died or became sick appeared in front of them, including May, Zoey, Drew, Harley, and Jessie. "come on lets get to the hospital, May, your parents are waiting are waiting for you at the hospital, Dawn, when we get there I'll call your mom and professor Rowan, they'll be happy to know you're okay.
"may!" cried Norman, Caroline, and Max at the same time, "ash, thank you, without you I would be to depressed to run the gym. Dawn ran over to the PC to call her mom, "hello?" asked her mom teary eyed until she saw dawn, "dawn!"she yelled, "what happened that brought you back to life?" asked her mom. "long story short, if it wasn't for ash I would still be dead." replied Dawn. "Well see ya later, mom."
Later at the sinnoh league, Ash was getting ready to battle his friend Morrison, "good luck Ash" said Morrison before heading out onto the field, ash went out onto the field also. Before the battle, Ash
noticed a pole that was about to come down on his friend, "Morrison!" he yelled as he pushed his friend out of the way before the pole crashed down on him. Instead it came down on Ash. He was pronounced dead before the paramedics could get there. Three days later at Ash's funeral, everyone was crying, Gary even came to say goodbye, he saw May, Misty, and Dawn gathered around Ash's coffin. Gary walked up to his coffin to see him, "it's not him, it can't be him" he said as a tear streamed down his face. "how did he die?" asked Gary, Morrison walked up to the coffin and said, "he gave his life to save me" he replied sadly. Delia took one last look at her son and said "I'll always miss you" she started sobbing when Ash was buried. His tombstone read "Ash Ketchum, 1987-2009. One true friend.
