POKEMON:
Ash's Awakening

Disclaimer: I do not own Pokemon. If I did, I'd be swimming in cash right now.

Chapter 1

It had started yesterday.

At first it had only been a small headache.

But now it
had turned into a BIG headache.

"Hey Ash, what's wrong?" Misty asked in a concerned voice.

Misty had noticed Ash
was acting rather unusual lately.

Normally he would have been boasting about
winning badges or becoming a pokemon master.

Brock had noticed something was up
too.

Usually by now Ash would have said something that would have gotten him and
Misty into a big fat argument.

"I've got a headache, that's all." Ash replied.

"Hmm, maybe we should see a doctor when we get to the next town." Replied Brock.

"A hospital with a lot of pretty nurses!" Brock's eyes glazed over.

Ash and
Misty both sweatdropped.

Misty pulled out one of her famous mallets ( Where does
she get all those mallets from anyway?) and brought it into contact with Brock's
head.

"OWW!! You know Misty, that really hurts!!!"

"Honestly, don't you ever
think of anything besides girls?"

He was about to reply when suddenly, "OWW!"
Ash had dropped to his knees holding his head in his hands.

"Ash, are you all
right?" Misty yelled. "Head...hurts!!!" He replied. Then he blacked out.






Ash slowly opened his eyes.

"Man, I feel like I was ran over by a Tauros.

He
looked around at his surroundings and realized that he was in a hospital room.

The door to his room then opened and a nurse walked in. "Oh my God! You're
awake!" She said.

"I'll go get Dr. Ralph. You just wait right here."

She ran out
before he could say anything.

A few minutes later she returned with a doctor who
looked like he was in his 50's.

"Well, I see you're finally awake."

"What happened?" asked Ash.

"You've been in a coma for about a year now."

"A COMA?!!"

"I'm afraid so.

Your friends brought you to this hospital and said that you had passed out while traveling.

The cause was of a very rare disease.

It starts out as a simple headache.

Then the victim falls into a coma.

You're very lucky.

In most cases the victims never wake up."

"What happened to my mother... my friends?" asked Ash.

"I'm sorry to say this, but your mother was in a car accident.

She was instantly killed."

Ash's eyes went as big as flying saucers, and his mouth dropped open.

"IT CAN'T BE!!!" he yelled.

"I'm sorry." The doctor replied.

"As for your friends, they waited here for a while, then they returned to their hometowns."

"I've got to find them."

Ash jumped out of the bed.

"I must know if they are okay."

"Maybe you should rest here for a while.." the doctor started.

"I've been resting here for a year and I'm not staying any longer!"

With that, he rushed out of the room.
