Chapter 1
For what seemed like the hundredth time, Professor Oak glanced at the flashing monitors above the hospital bed, looking for any signs of a response. And for the hundredth time, there was nothing there to give him hope; no change at all. With a sinking heart, he turned around to look at Delia, who lay unconscious in the hospital bed attached to the monitors.
"Why won't Mom wake up?" Ash worried as he clutched his mother's hand.
"Your mother has been though a lot, Ash," Professor Oak said gently.
"Professor Oak," Ash asked in a quavering voice. "Is my mom going to..."
Even though he had been thinking the same thing, he didn't want to alarm the boy.
"Ash, some of the finest doctors in the region work at this hospital. Your mother is in the best place she could be right now."
As they were speaking, the door of the hospital room slowly opened. Both Ash and Professor Oak turned around as the door creaked.
"Oh my God. Delia!"
