Ash slowly approached the next door, it had the fire badge on it.
"This is the test of mind." The unseen announcer said again.
Ash placed the badge on the door and it swinged open into a smaller room with a older man
sitting behind a coffee table.
"Please, please come in." The man said ushering Ash and Fee in the door.
Fee stopped dead still and stared at the man for several minutes before quietly replying,
"Hi dad..."
"Dad?" The man asked in confusion, "No I'm afraid not little pokemon..."
Fee smiled gently, "Mister Jepson, your son that was killed in the explosion eleven years
ago. I am him."
The man stood up from his desk looking very dazed, "Fee... Emanla said you might be visiting."
Fee slowly walked towards Peter Jepson, his father before hugging him tightly.
"It's so good to see you after all this time..." Peter Jepson said hugging back tightly.
Fee smiled and sighed happily.
After several minutes Ash eventually coughed gently to remind them both he was there for
a reason.
"Oh..." Peter said smiling broadly, "Of course sorry."
He pointed Ash to a small sheet that had several questions about pokemon, mainly multiple
choice about various pokemon statistics.
Ash frowned and looked over to Peter and Fee, "Mister Jepson, I'm not allowed to use my
pokedex, right?" Ash asked.
Peter shook his head, "I think you've passed already Ash, working out that you have
tools to help you as well as just your own abilities."
"That's a yes then..." Ash confirmed taking out his pokedex and filling in the rest of the
form.
Ash smiled and placed the form down, "Finished!"
"Congratulations Ash, unfortunatly the next member of the elite four who administers the test
of soul isn't here." Peter explained.
Ash looked towards the door with a wind badge emblem, "So I can pass right through?"
Peter nodded, "Pretty much, Meowth is currently overseeing a lasting peace with the
Scyther independants. Apparently after hearing about the Beedrill army everyone wants to
stop fighting once and for all."
Ash smiled and nodded, "That's very cool. We helped in that peace deal."
"I heard something about that, it was very impressive. I guess Meowth would accept that as
proof of soul." Peter said.
Ash took out the wind badge and placed it on the door, it swung open into an dark and
quite empty room.
"Hello?" Ash shouted in just in case, there was no answer.
"I'll be back soon, Dad..." Fee whispered quietly before running up beside Ash.
"You sure you want to come?" Ash asked, "You could just stay here with your dad."
Fee shook his head, "I'm ready Master Ash."
Walking through the empty room Ash reached the final door which had a water emblem on it.
Ash took out his final badge and knew exactly who would be behind it.
The door creaked open slowly revealing a swimming pool like gym arena.
Ash boldly strode in before calling out, "Misty, I am ready to challenge you."
Misty emerged from below the water, "Are you sure?" She asked Ash.
"Actually no, I don't know what test this is." Ash admitted looking at his shoes in
embarrasment.
Misty laughed and got out of the water, "This is the test of acceptance, it's really easy
all you do is accept your title as a Pokemon Master!"
"YES!" Ash shouted and lept up in the air, "I accept!"
Afterwords Ash returned to Pallet Town and became a minor celebrity eventually setting up a
small shop selling various pokemon items occasionally being challenged by various other trainers
all of whom would lose to Ash who many were calling the greatest Pokemon Master they had seen.
Everything was good, everything was fine and everyone was happy.
That was until one day in late summer, Fee felt it first but he couldn't say exactly what
it was. A feeling deep inside that something was horribly horribly wrong.
"What is it Fee?" Ash continued to ask, noting his odd behaviour as well as the other
pokemon's diffrent reactions.
Fee shrugged, "I'm not sure, something big and not good."
"Right, anything we can do?" Ash asked.
Fee shook his head slowly, "I'm not sure."
Emanla suddenly appeared from behind Ash causing him to jump into the air in fright.
"Don't do that!" Ash shouted still recovering from the shock.
"Sorry, it's important." Emanla said dismissing Ash.
"What's wrong?" Ash asked directly.
Emanla smiled and looked at Fee, "It's to do with an ancient legend."
"Oh my..." Fee exclaimed placing a paw to his head. "Disturb ye not the harmony of Fire,
Ice and Lightning." He whispered.
"Indeed, HE is here." Emanla said, you could here the capital letters.
"He who?" Ash asked interupting.
"The collector, I don't know his real name because I hid when he came to my reality but now
he is here Master Ash, and that means big trouble." Fee replied.
"There's something else." Emanla said quietly, "There's a slight change to the legend."
"What does it say here?" Fee asked.
Emanla frowned, "But the keeper from the sea's power will not be enogth to restore harmony
and thus the world will turn to Ash."
Fee smiled, "That's a good thing, Ash is here."
Emanla shook his head, "It goes on... Ash shall fight with Fee by his side and the titans
shall be quelled but to no avail the harmony will never be restored, the traveller who
has no real name shall take Fee away so the story of this world can be told to all."
"Oh..." Fee said very quietly, "Is there no more? Nothing of what happens here?"
"Yes, there's a little; The world shall freeze and the oceans shall boil, the sky shall
be wrought with lightning bringing near destruction, yet life shall find a way despite."
Emanla stopped and shrugged, "That's where it ends."
"Do you know who wrote it?" Fee asked, "Maybe we could try and find them."
"Yes, I do know who wrote it but we can't find them as they haven't written it yet." Emanla
replied looking directly at Fee.
"I write it sometime..." Fee asked looking back.
Emanla nodded, "Yep, just not quite yet.."
"So what can we do?" Ash asked with a hint of fear in his voice.
Fee shook his head sadly, "There is nothing we can do Master Ash, the only reason the Ash
from my reality succeed was because of the close relationship with his Pikachu."
"What about you and I, will that not be enogth?" Ash enquired.
"I am afraid not Master Ash, apparently for some reason we just can't succeed." Fee said
hugging Ash tightly.
Emanla smiled, "I know why."
Fee and Ash both looked to Emanla expectingly.
"As it says the man with no real name, that would be me take you away to tell this tale to
other people." Emanla said to Fee.
"Well the reason I take you away is of course because you aren't really supposed to be here,
this entire reality exists because I made a mistake, if we leave now then there is another
option, the legend changes instantly."
"How so?" Fee begged Emanla.
"The world shall turn to Ash, and Ash shall fight with Bulbasaur by his side and the titans
of Fire, Ice and Lightning shall sleep once more whilst the king of the deep will be freed
from the stream of the Earth and with this the king shall bring much happiness to the world."
Emanla said quoting from memory.
"So if we leave, Master Ash will have chosen a Bulbasaur and the world will be saved." Fee
checked.
Emanla nodded simply, "However Ash will not make it past the elite four and become a
pokemon master, he'll just be a great trainer."
"I can deal with that." Ash interupted.
"We really don't have much of a choice then." Fee said quietly hugging Ash for what
he suspected would be the last time.
Emanla nodded, "Let's go home Fee."
Fee smiled and took Emanla by the hand, "I'll try and visit..." He sniffled slightly.
There was a bright flash and Fee watched as the room slowly disolved and was replaced
by Fee's secret lab under Viridian city.
Alarms were screaming loudly and various warning lights flashed brightly screaming for
attention.
"Extreme paradox, an entire segmant of history has changed making the quatumn probablity of
this eventuality; zero. In short this place no longer exists." A computer reported in
the background.
Suddenly the alarms stopped and only a single yellow light flashed.
Fee calmly sat down in his comfy seat and pushed a button.
"Situation now normal, all systems reporting green." The computer announced before continuing,
"Time harmonic stablisation field deactivating."
Fee sighed and rocked slightly in his chair.
"Psst..." The voice of Emanla said from behind him.
Fee turned and smiled, "Emanla! You are back already?"
Emanla nodded, "Yeah, remeber you got to write some prophcies."
"Right..." Fee said, "Desert at the edge of the world."
Emanla smiled, "Yep, you got it!"
Fee sighed, "I liked it there..."
"I did too, that's why I was there in the first place it's a unspoilt and untainted place.
Without the Giovanni family it's such a diffrent world." Emanla commented.
"What if I didn't leave, what if I stayed there and helped rebuild the world?" Fee demanded.
"Even you can't take out Moltres, Articuno, Zapdos and Lugia." Emanla said patting Fee
gently on the head.
"I don't have to." Fee quietly noted.
"The collector!" Emanla almost gasped.
Fee nodded, "That's all that needs to be done."
"But you can't, right." Emanla said quietly.
"No, I couldn't. It's a battle that has to be fought no matter what the outcome." Fee
sighed.
"It does?" Emanla asked skritching Fee behind the ears softly.
Fee nodded, "It has to be fought, that's the problem with hero's they have to do something
heroic."
"You could go back..." Emanla noted.
"Only to be pulled away? To leave him to fight alone?" Fee protested.
"Stay, face destiny together." Emanla said quietly.
Fee sighed, "Then what?"
Emanla shrugged, "I dunno kitty, maybe you can do it, I have no idea why a little
yellow electric mouse could help Ash more then you but you know how it is with Pikachu's."
"... Red, I have to go get him anyway." Fee said quickly trying to justify some reason
to go back.
"Ash never met you, hence never met me and was never given Red, he's safe at home in this
world." Emanla explained.
"Oh..." Fee sighed, "Do it, just take me there! I'd rather face an unknown destiny with a
friend then stay here."
Emanla smiled brightly, "Now you are talking like a hero as well..."
Fee blinked as Emanla suddenly wasn't there anymore, the room was shaking violently and
he could feel the chair he was sitting in slowly turn into a strage goo.
"Extreme paradox, an entire segmant of history has changed making the quatumn probablity of
this eventuality; zero." A computerised voice reported over the noise.
Fee smiled despite the pain and closed his eyes as he felt reality slip away from him.
"Hi! I'm your trainer Ash!" Ash said looking down at Fee as he emerged from the poke ball.
Fee smiled and looked up, "Hello Master Ash..." He said quietly, from behind in the
distance he could just make out Emanla waving.
"YOU CAN TALK!!" Ash screamed exicetdly almost jumping into the sun.
Fee nodded, "Yes Master Ash, I can talk but we have much to prepare now."
"We do?" Ash asked looking down at Fee.
Fee nodded, "Yes Master Ash, we have to save a world..."

So... is that it NOW?
Well, pretty much actually. There are no plans for a What if part 4, the story does
really end there, which seems strange but if you read all of the series it makes
sense that it stops there.
Really it does.
If you wanna know what happens next, you should be able to work it out.
