The Semi-Finals of the Johto League Silver Conference: October 12, 2003.

Brock had ran towards the hospital as soon as he heard that Ash had collapsed in the street to find a frantic Misty being calmed down by the nursing staff and Pikachu right at her side. Noticing how busy everyone was, Brock decided to call Ash's mother and let her know what was going on.

Misty had been explaining how Pikachu gave her the Engagement Rings and why she had panicked so much because of it to the nursing staff for the past few hours that they had finally calmed her down for. She had explained how she saw her future with a family of her own falling apart in front of her and the nurses nod understandingly at her.

Brock had called both Delia Ketchum and Professor Oak to tell them about Ash. He even called Ritchie's cellular phone to ask if he would help him deal with Misty's mental collapse because Brock had the feeling he was going to need it!

Brock was right about needing help because Misty had shown him the Engagement Rings and found out that Ash had fallen into a coma all in the same day.

Professor Oak still remembers when his younger sister married that Ketchum kid. Delia Oak had her whole life ahead of her and then she fell in love with someone who had no clue how to look after a family. Jason Ketchum spent more time working overseas than with his family and now their first child was inside the hospital.

Samuel Oak had to tell him and hope Jason became a better parent because of it. He sighed to himself as he made the phone call.

A brown haired man with a scar over his right eye was displayed on the phone's video screen as Samuel noticed the resemblance between Ash and his father's hair being the same. "Jason, I have bad news." Oak stated.

"What is it, Sammy?" Jason asked looking worried.

"Your son is in the hospital." Oak said upset.

"What happened!?" Jason demands over the phone.

"He collapsed during the Silver Conference and the whole thing was put on hold because of it." Oak explains sharing his worried expression with the troubled parent.

"I'm taking the first flight to the Johto Region that I can find and the Silver Conference had better not cheat my son out of his rematch or they'll never hear the end of it!" Jason yells and hangs up.
