AN: I think this is the last chapter, I mean, it is. But as for other stories, I've got one that was the first AAMRN I ever thought of. Before I came through with this first movie flash back. I think I'm gonna do that one and post it up when I revised it enough. I need to think about it though…
Anyway in this chapter, Misty POV is strong, but I don't use "I" or anything, you'll see why.
ANofN: I am extremely grateful for any single person that revisits my story to view its end. There are not enough apologies in the world to fill my sorry mouth. I used to hate that when the story was never complete… I have no one to blame but my self. I will make it up though. That first aamrn I talked of will be done and put online in one full sweep. Again thank you for reading my story and if you find the will, come again ;).

The now perturbed girl took a step forward about to assault the creatures vocally and or physically, but before she could escape her circle Mewtwo and Mew acted quickly, bringing their paws out full length then at the same moment clasping them together directly in front of them producing a blue and pink light.
'Let us begin.'
And so then, it had begun. From the view of the friends, all whited out. But for some strange reason they didn't feel the need to blink. The feel of the hard floor under their feet had left them. They where left in a temporary dream like state as they gazed at the blankness in front of them. With out notice scenery came into view and they experienced the sensation of exploding to the surface of the ocean. To each ones surprise their breath was experienced and heard, not produced.
'You all are in a self-conscious state in your bodies. You cannot move them or talk to them. The only function you posses right now is observation.'
Mewtwo's message was heard to each of them, this was how the envision was to be formed.
From the water they witnessed moving to a dock. At this point the self-conscious of the group made sure to notice each other and their surroundings in the envision.
'Are we on the island?' the observing part of Misty questioned her self. Her past body looked off of the dock. There was the raging sea and on the horizon the bay at which they had come from. Her question was answered. 'But there wasn't anything in the front view of the island before.'
"Greetings." Spoke an unusually empty voice from behind Misty's body. When turning Misty observed Ash taking something from his pocket and held it to an unfilled looking nurse joy. It was a high-tech looking card of a sort. A small eye in the center projected a smaller version of the same nurse speaking of the groups right to be on the island.
From there they were lead up a stone-carved case of stairs; that were hugging the wall of the cavern the dock was held in.
It wasn't a dream, but yet it was viewing something from your own point of view that you didn't have control of or have knowledge of what exactly was to happen. Though at the same time, they felt. They felt physical aspects of the event. The temperature, the rolling thunder, the static that tore through the air when they arrived at the man staircase, every normal thing that you wouldn't notice in a dream.
The object descending down the spiral staircase, after a few events took place, could be viewed as the Mewtwo the self conscious of the friends had met before hand. An eerie emotion filled the group from the vision. Misty her self couldn't fully understand why until they heard the past Mewtwo's speech. It's plan to kill all humans and the pokemon loyal to them. For the three pokemon-devoted friends nothing was more frightening. But what was to become of this notion? Nothing permanent, obviously, but it's the small things we witness that stick.
Never the less, through a good share of occurrences, and a few sessions of running and fear, the group made it to the place. The place only Misty had seen, the place where it was felt to happen, the place that no one had remembered until now.
The stadium. The past Ash had just emerged from its surface being followed by a massive pack of captured pokemon. At this the present Misty fought to ignore her past happiness because she knew all to well this wasn't as good as it a appeared.
Before the group knew it the challenge was made and the creatures were engaged in their warfare. What could they do but watch? When Mew had appeared the biggest fight had commenced. A side from the one that gripped the group most, pikachu's.
Ash had fought his way down to the stadium floor from the place Mewtwo had tried to dispose of him. He fell between Misty and Brock.
Misty felt her worry with her other self as she watched him get on to his knees. At this point all the battling pokemon had found total fatigue, and had retired to the out skirts of the stadium floor. All except Pikachu and its clone. The duplicate had near run out of strength and motive to fight with its resistant counterpart. While they struggled Mew and Mewtwo hovered down to the opposite ends of the stadium.
They stood for just a moment, staring each other down, before they seemed to conjure a massive ball of energy between their paws. Mews was a pink-ish; Mewtwo's was a light blue. It was until the formations had gotten to be the seize of Mewtwo its self that they forced them towards the other. The balls hit in the center of the stadium with so much force it caused a wind of resistance. In relation Pikachu and its clone were blown to the stadiums end.
It appeared that the two powerful creatures were preparing for another blast.
In all the wonder Ash heard his former minds thoughts stream through his head.
'They have got to stop before they kill each other. Why are they even fighting? This has got to stop!'
Brock and Misty were distracted from the sight in the middle of the stadium as they notice Ash's movement. They barely had a chance to get up on one knee before Ash had dashed between the two energy paths of the pokemon.
Sounds muffled its self from Misty's hearing. By total reflex she shielded her eyes from a bright light born from the collision of the attacks.
'Ash!' "Ash!" Misty and her past self shouted.
Then felling Brock's body vibrate the ground as he was blown back to sitting beside her she opened her eyes.
Wind was swirling around a motionless figure, one that was glowing pink and blue. Hovering there for the briefest moment before slowly collapsing to the ground lifeless.
Misty started forward, her heart stopped. Her self-conscious was almost speech less, it tried in vain to move but her body was frozen. She felt her eyes lock on Ash's motionless form as she sunk to the ground. She seemed to lose all physical feeling, the need to breathe, the need to blink. The air suffocated her, as she wanted to somehow not see what she had seen.
The three stare at Pikachu running to his master's side.
'Ash!'
As it comes to a stop near its master's stone cold body, it stares in disbelief.
'Ash, wake up.' It moves around the lifeless body and shoves it. Stopping at Ash's head it prepares to go to extremes.
'Wake up!' Pikachu uses all its worth to hopefully shock the lifeless body alive. But to no avail. It tries over and over again. Ash gone? It couldn't be true, he can't be. Then Misty heard her self say the dreaded words.
Staring at the scene all Misty's body could manage to speak was simply the only thing she felt.
"Please no."
In the out side world Pikachu watched Misty, Ash and Brock's faces worriedly. There expression didn't change, but in there eyes it saw raw emotion. Suddenly Misty fell to her knees. Pikachu ran to her side, being careful not to disturb the purple glow around her body.
'Misty are you ok?'
There was no reply, but in her eyes Pikachu could tell she was viewing something tragic beyond words. Glancing back at the concentrating Mew and Mewtwo it glared protectively.
'Don't you guys try to hurt them, or ill stop this insaness.'
Pikachu saw that it could not revive its friend. Not willing to except the truth, tears streamed from its tiny eyes.
'Ash, no. Wakeup, please wakeup.'
Misty couldn't keep track of what was happening, but in her complete shock, she noticed the strange floating tears going by her and strait to Ash from each of the pokemon's eyes.
She stood up along with Brock and the others to take in what was happening. The tears where making Ash's body glow. Brock, and Misty's mind thought.
'What's going on?'
Then when it seemed Ash's body could glow no brighter, a blinding of light filled the area.
The second it lasted, not a soul in the stadium knew what to expect. The tower turned too normal and the overcast of the island seem to lessen dramatically.
Then the light dissipated, all stared in awe at what it unveiled.
The trainers stone body had turned back to normal, and his eyes slowly opened. Pikachu ears perked up in bliss. It tackled its life long companion and buried its self as close as it could to his masters living breathing body.
Misty couldn't believe what she just saw. Her and her body where in total shock. But she was more grateful for Ash's return then her past self. She knew why, and she regretted ever being afraid that Ash didn't care back. She wished she could tap her self on the shoulder and say it was ok to run and embrace him, despite her past self's fears it was truly ok. But there was no shoulder to tap and no Ash to embrace because this all was a realistic dream for the three of them, that couldn't be changed.
Misty and Brock got up and ran over to the reunion of Ash and Pikachu. They where about to speak when they saw Mewtwo start to lift his pokemon from theirs.
"Hey Mewtwo, where are you going?"
'Off to a place where I can learn what your heart knows so well. I will never forget the events conspired here, but perhaps for you these events are best forgotten.'
Underneath them a giant portal forms and engulfs the entire island. For the self-consciousness of Ash Misty and Brock the vision ends here. Every thing faded to white then black as they could feel they where back in Mewtwo's dwelling again. They opened their eyes concurrently with each other, staring ahead blankly at mew Mewtwo and Pikachu. Ash and Brock joined Misty's position on the floor.
Taking in a slow shaking breath, Misty, and Brock turned their heads to Ash. Ash turned his head to them. They seemed to stare at each other out of pure wonder.
Ash spoke first.
"Did tha, did, did that really happen?"
Misty and Brock nodded a yes simultaneously. Ash turned his stare forward again as he fell back to his elbows.
"Whoa."
"Mewtwo," Misty began as she got up "Why did you think that it would be best for us to not remember our meeting? And why did I only have dreams of it?"
"You where too young, you weren't ready yet to remember such an event through out your day. And as for your dream, there is a little more complicated reason for that which I am not 100% positive."
"Try me."
"Well, when Ash got hit by our blasts, a emotion was set off in your brain, I am not sure what kind, but I think this emotion is the strongest you could possibly come across. It's a strange mix of fear, shock, anger, adrenaline, and love that was realized. You brain noted it and in some sort kept the memory of close happenings from that moment in a small human database. When I cleared you active memory of the afternoon's event, I guess my powers could not reach that part of the brain, so it remained. When Ash's life was in danger, and he was about to be hurt right in front of you by that tree branch, you got those exact same emotions in the length of a split second. That emotional mix triggered the memory of the only other time your brain felt that strong mental usage. And that lead to the dreams. They where only so realistic because the anesthetic has strange unnatural effects on the body"
"So what do we do now? All this has happened, and all that's new is that we remember. What are we suppose to do with that?" Ash broke in from his daze.
'In the beginning our purpose was to ease the unfairly corrupted dreams of a friend.'
Mewtwo smiled at Misty, who blushed in return.
'Then when the time came nearer and we needed to involve society our other purpose became clear. We ask of you, know that we exist. Know that if the time comes we will assist you in any way we can. Also to ask of you to please guard our existence, it is a fragile thing.'
"Alright." Ash got up and stepped from his area of massive mental activity. He walked in front of the powerful creature and held out his hand.
"Mewtwo you have my word I will guard your existence." With befriending grins on their faces, the two shook hands in a unique clasp.
Felling Pikachu leap to his hat, Ash smiled and looked up to it.
"Hey buddy, sorry to keep you waiting."
'I'm ok if you guys are, you should of seen it. It was kind of freaky
"Don't worry, we will explain it. As best we can anyway."
'You best get to the edge of the beach because the man in the boat wont trust the parted waves for long.'
"We will, Mewtwo I hope we have a chance to meet again some day."
'We will Ash, I am sure of it.' Ash smiled as he turned to Brock and Misty. Misty took a step forward.
"You guys head to the boat, ill be right there." Ash nodded as he went over to Brock. Brock shook himself more aware as he looked at Ash with a smirk; he grabbed Ashes head in a lock.
"I can't believe you would pull a stunt like that, I think I had a stroke."
Misty giggled as she heard Brock continue and Ash rebuttal on their way back to the section of beach that Mewtwo had secured. She turned back to Mewtwo and mew looking at their grinning faces. Almost uncontrollably she bowed to the creatures.
"Thank you."
She smiled back at the creatures looking at them, and then almost cautiously her stare turned to a serious tone. She had to know something.
"I need to ask of you Mewtwo. What was the exact thing that changed your mind?"
Mewtwo looked back at her in stern remorse.
'Witnessing Your Ash's determination to end our senseless fighting opened my eyes to what I have been doing. I vowed to destroy all I could using my immense power. Which was exactly the purpose of my existence when I was born. I was doing exactly what I was created to do. For the exact beings I wished to destroy. I knew it must end. To truly defeat my creators sick minds I must purify my ways from then on.'
"The second Ash hit the ground you realize this?" Misty stepped forward her eyes sharply looking at the catlike marbles of Mewtwo's.
"What would you do if the pure tears of those pokemon couldn't help him? What would you realize if you had finally killed your first human who's heart had nothing but love, caring and endless strength in it?"
Misty's voice was elevating with each of her questions. Her heart was burning as she was forced to think of what would happen if Ash had not opened his eyes.
Mewtwo looked at her understanding here drive and feeling sadness overcome its self.
'I would await your judgment.'
Misty calmed her self down waiting for the pokemon to continue.
'If that was the coarse the events were to take, then the only way I could purify my self at all would be.'
Mewtwo moved closer to her letting the blue glow from its body fade standing on the ground looking at her.
'Protect you and for fill whatever your biding may be.'
Misty's sternness disappeared to be replaced by soft listening.
'What would you of bid of me?'
She remained silent looking at the ground, honestly not knowing what she would do if Ash would ever…
'Misty you are strong. You don't know what you would do because of the blessed surprise you wound up receiving. That is your Ash's life. If I could love another as much as you love your Ash I wouldn't know either. If there is one thing in this world you can truly believe in, it is your heart Misty, nothing else.'
After calming her emotions down completely, Misty accepted Mewtwo's reply and smiled.
She stood there and shared a silent respect between her self and the powerful creatures. Slowly she turned around and started to head to the boat. When she heard Mewtwo send one last message to her through its mysterious ways of telepathy.
'Your journey with Ash and Brock has been a grand and vast one. And it continues; the next major event in your lives could be at anytime or place. You never know.' the voice faded into her mind as she felt a purple glow surround her body then disappear. She smiled because, she knew if she turned around Mewtwo and Mew would be gone. But that was just fine because she grasped she would meet them again, and if not, she would always dream.
