Chapter Two: Awakening
"Where? Where am I?" Ash said as he woke up.
"You are in the Viridian City Hospital sweetheart." It was Delia, Ash's mother.
"Mom? Where is everybody? Why am I here?" Ash said.
"You had something like an asthma attack so you're friends brought you here; they called me and Prof. Oak so we hurried here as fast as we could." Just then Misty, Pikachu, and Togepi came into the room. Pikachu jumped on Ash's shoulder.
"Pikachu pika." said Pikachu.
"Toge-toge priiii." Togepi said.
"We were all so worried about you." Misty said. Then the doctor came in.
"Well doctor what did the test results say?" Delia asked.
The doctor had a sad look on his face. "I'm afraid it's not good. They both have a rare disease called L.F.S. symptoms include chest pain, difficulty breathing, and attacks similar to asthma.
"Is their anything we can do?" Ash asked.
"I'm afraid there is no cure and since you both had had this for four months you only have two more months to live." The doctor said.
"NO!!!!" Delia screamed." It's not right! No mother should outlive her own child."
Ash couldn't believe this. All his dreams of becoming a pokemon master, having a family of his own, wiped out by some little germ in him. And what was worse, Misty, the girl who meant so much to him was also dying. The girl of his dreams didn't deserve this. He could see that she was in tears.
"There is one possibility." The doctor said.
"There is? What is it?" Misty said.
It's called Cryonics. We may not have a cure now but we may find one someday. We put you in capsule and freeze you, putting you in a state of suspended animation. Then one day in the future you would be awakened after the cure has been found."
Ash remembered watching movies about this kind of thing but he thought it was all just science fiction.
"I must warn you that we have never been successful at this, it's still in the experimental stages." The doctor said.
"What about our pokemon?" Ash asked.
"The current prototype does have a slot where we can suspend one pokemon in a pokeball."
"So we could only bring one pokemon with us?" Misty asked.
"Yes" said the doctor.
"We need a little time to think about this." Ash said.
"Take your time, but remember this you have two weeks to volunteer for this before we lose the funding for the experiment." With that the doctor left. An hour later Ash and Misty were looking at the sunset from the balcony from Ash's room.
"Ash I don't want to die, I had my heart set on being a mom one day but I don't know if I want to risk being frozen."
"Misty I want to try this, I didn't work so hard to get where I am to have it end like this, but I don't want to do this without you."
"Why?"
At first Ash hesitated. But then he thought. "Get a hold of yourself Ash. You're both dying. You may never get a chance to tell her how feel again. It's now or never!" Ash took a deep breath which hurt him a little. "Because I love Misty and I would rather live only two more months with you than a hundred years without you."
Misty was shocked at what Ash had just said. He'd rather die with her then take the only chance for a cure if she didn't want to take it.
"Ash I love you too and if you want to take this risk then so will I."
"I guess the only the only problem now is which pokemon do take with us."
The next day Ash and Misty gathered their pokemon together and let them talk it out on who would go with their trainers. The unanimous decision was that Pikachu and Togepi would join their trainers.
Finally the time had come for the young trainers in love to enter the capsules. Ash and Misty were wearing grey jump suits that had short sleeves and short pant legs and a hood that covered their whole heads except for their faces.
"Alright Togepi, I have to put in a pokeball now, it's a special premiere ball." With that Misty threw the ball at Togepi which was then placed in the slot at the side of the capsule.
"Pikachu, I know you don't like being in your pokeball but you have to go in now." Ash said. Pikachu just nodded. "Return." In a stream of red light Pikachu went back into his ball and was placed in the slot.
"Are you sure you want to do this?" the technician said.
Ash stared into Misty's eyes. "Yes" Misty said.
"Let's do this." Ash said.
Misty was first. She got into the capsule. The lid closed and the capsule leaned back. In a few moments the inside of the capsule was frozen as well as the slot for Togepi.
"She you later Sleeping Beauty." Ash said as he looked at the sleeping form of Misty. Then Ash went into his capsule. When the lid closed Ash could hear the gases coming in. He felt cold and sleepy. Then he closed his eyes and went to sleep.
The next thing Ash knew he was hot and wet. He opened his eyes to see what looked like James of Team Rocket except he had hair that was red like Jessie. The man opened his mouth and said. "Good morning. Welcome to the 29th Century."
