When Ash's spirit is broken in a tragic accident in the battle of his life, he vanishes to collect himself. Dawn is the only person left who can find him and bring him home. A rewrite. Decided the original hasn't aged well, and I wanted to give any readers still around a new view at the old fic. Changed the rating to T, M content will be published separately. Look for B-Sides.

Ash Ketchum really loves Pokemon, because who wouldn't? And Pokemon seem to love him back, too. It's given him a bit of a skewed perspective on what counts as rare, though...
