Ash awoke in a sleeping bag.

"What happened?" He asked.

"Long story short," Said Red. "We lost the fight, Misty's dead, and Blue's still alive."

"No," Ash whispered. "She can't be dead."

"But she is," Said Brock. "Does anyone care to tell me why?"

"Our Mom was dying," Said Red.

"So we borrowed some money from Blue," Said Ash.

"To pay for her operation."

"We couldn't pay him back at the time."

"Then we learned that he was insane."

"And I learned he was tracking me so I called Red."

"And the rest is history."

"So you two are brothers?" Asked Brock.

"Yeah," Said Ash.
