Chapter 7 – The recovery

By now it was about lunchtime and Brock and Pikachu were in the living room of Ash's house explaining what had happened that morning to him to Delia.

"So that's what happened to him" Brock said.

"Pika pi" Pikachu said reassuringly.

"Oh right, although I'm sure he'll be fine he always is." Delia said trying to reassure herself everything will be ok. "I hope he is" she thought to herself.

"Come on lets go, Misty is no doubt already there." Brock said standing up.

Brock, Pikachu and Delia set out for the viridian forest and then onto the viridian Pokémon centre. They stopped along the way for a stretch and a drink from the stream that was near by although they were soon back on the road or route again.

Misty had just got off the phone with Brock from getting the news about Ash and see soon found herself panicking.

"Oh my god, I hope he's gonna be ok" She thought rushing to get everything together as a tear came tumbling down her cheek. "Don't be sill, of course he's going to be ok, I mean he was dead when he got hit by the two balls of light from Mew and Mewtwo and he survived that so he has to survive a small trip down the stairs." She thought to herself reassuringly as she was making her way down to reception. "Right now where do I go, ah yes I'll go to Officer Jenny's office I'm sure she can give me a lift." And off she went to find Officer Jenny. Luckily she had just got back from taking Ash, and Misty just caught her and was soon on her way to be back with the one she loved.

Meanwhile Brock, Pikachu and Delia were almost there when they saw a hurriedly Officer Jenny speed past them with a red head in the back. They all presumed this was Misty on her way to see Ash as there is only one red head in the whole of the Kanto region.

Back at the pokemon centre saw Ash still lying unconscious with Nurse Joy tending to his needs.

"What are you trying to do to me?" Ash said.

"I'm trying to wake you up but that little zap only made you twitch so I'm going to try again but this time it's going to be a lot bigger." The voice said laughing. He was also trying to save Ash from being crushed as the walls were quite close now and could easily crush someone in the little time he had left in that place.

"I don't believe you" Ash said.

"Really well maybe this will help then."

Zap Zap

Again Ash was struck by two bolts of electric and again it only made him twitch.

Just then Misty came bursting into the room where Ash was being kept and made Nurse joy jump.

"How is he?" She asked in a concerned voice.

"He seems to be ok although his temperature still seems a little high and he is still unconscious." Nurse joy said.

"I'll wake him up" Misty said "And with something special too" Misty thought to herself.

The walls were so close now Ash could hardly breathe when all of a sudden he started to float upwards. "Hang on where am I going?" Ash asked his conscience as he floated further upwards but got no answer. As he floated he found the pain in his stomach was coming back but not as intense as it was before he passed out. He also could feel something warm and loving that made the pain go away completely. Once he had managed to get his eyes open he saw the kind and loving thing that was there with him to his surprise it was Misty and she was kissing him.

Ash broke the kiss mainly to come up for air after all he had returned the kiss that Misty was giving him but he also had some questions. "Hey mist" He said groggily. "Where am I? And what happened?" Ash tried to sit up although it was quite hard to do. At that moment a yellow mouse bounded over Misty (who was still sitting on the bed) and onto Ash's lap. "Brock, Pikachu! Why are you here?"

"Let me answer your questions" Misty said. "First your in viridian pokemon centre, your here because you being you had to fall down the stairs---"

"And then you passed out according to Pikachu." Misty said after she had been cut off by Delia who came through the door of the hospital room.

"Mum!" Ash shouted as she was visible from behind the door. "I hope she didn't see what just happened" He thought hoping it would reach Misty although he didn't have telekinesis so it most likely wouldn't.

"And you're the one that woke me up?" He said pointing to Misty who was blushing incoherently.

"Well yes" She said.

"I'm glad you did I was getting lonely in the place I was in." Ash said.

"I think it's time" Misty said to Ash but Ash being Ash didn't know what she meant.

"Time for what? Oh right yeah sorry" Ash was laughing and scratching the back of his head. "Ok I have an announcement" He said confidently "Misty and I are going out well we have been for quite some time now." He said.

"I already knew" Brock said

"Really congrats to you then" Nurse Joy and Officer Jenny said together in unison.

"I thought so" Delia said

"Pika pichu" Pikachu said enthusiastically

"What do you mean?" Only just realizing what his mum had said "Have you been spying on us?"

"No, no it's just you've been going out quite a lot more recently since the party and I just thought is all" Delia said in defense.

"I know great isn't it, I never thought that Misty actually felt the same way for me that I feel for her and now that I know, I guess that's the way it goes." Once Ash had said this everyone cheered and Ash and Misty kissed.

Ash made a full recovery and was back home in no time at all. Misty visited him regularly while he was still in the hospital bed and the day he was able to come home they decided to walk back home by themselves into the sunset to be together forever.
