Pikachu is dead. Ash Ketchum hasn't been seen for months. At Pikachu's funeral in the Pokémon Tower, his closest friends and deadliest enemies gather to pay their final respects. One by one, however, guests are taken aside by a shadowy stranger, who's determined to cut through the talk to answer the ultimate question: Whatever happened to the Trainer from Pallet Town?

Red versus Blue. The Elite Four showdown. That age-old battle. We all know about it, but what REALLY went down in that famous duel? In this epic tale, the world's two greatest Pokemon trainers battle it out to fulfil their lifelong ambitions. It's a battle about love, about strength, and about lost childhoods.

In a heartfelt and poignant letter to Ash, Butterfree- in his own words- reminisces about the glory days. And reveals why he can never see Ash again.
