Last time on Pokeball Z

Ash returned completely transformed, however in his light form, he wasn't powerful enough to defeat Xchamr. Xchamr transformed as well, into a more hideous monster, and became even more powerful. Without any options left, Ash decided to destroy himself, for the sake of everyone in the entire world. In one last effort, he succeeds, but what has become of him?

Chapter 12

Misty, May, Brock, and Ashley look in horror at the yellow sphere exploding into space from a safe distance in their helicopter. The blast reverted back into the small orb, and disappeared for a second. Then, a white shockwave fired out, covering the whole planet. At Ever Grande City, the whole city was rebuilt. Drake, Glacia, Phoebe, Sydney and all their pokemon were put back into their last spots where they last stood, completely revived. In another region, the same events were occurring, and the same all over the world. As the white shockwave past over affected areas, the place being replenished, every person and pokemon killed were revived. Several minutes after the explosion, the smoke finally cleared, revealing nothing left, except the blue ocean.

"Daddy!" Ashley looked out the window. "Turn back!"

"Right!"

May replied and turned the helicopter around. However, they were greeted by a gigantic water pokemon bursting out from the ocean, Kyogre. Not only him, but every other legendary pokemon appeared on the seen as well. On their backs were the gym leaders that were killed. However, no sign or trace of Ash was found. They learned the truth that he killed himself to save everyone else. Misty, May, and Brock dwelled on this a little longer and decided nothing could've been done. They went back home, while the legendary pokemon returned everyone else home as well.

Few days later

"Uh…where am I?" Ash woke up and looked at the tropical paradise he was laying down on. "Am I in heaven?"

"Pikachu?" Ash turned his head and found a Pikachu next to him. "Is that you?"

"Pika?" The yellow pokemon questioned him confusedly.

"You're not Pikachu!" Ash realized and tried to move, but was completely exhausted.

"Don't move." Mewtwo arrived next to him. "You're on my island with my cloned pokemon."

"I'm not dead? But I blew myself up! How did I survive?"

Mewtwo did not know and shook his head. Ash took a look at himself and saw he was normal! He had no more fur, overflowing hair, or weirdly shaped ears, but he still retained the tail. He tried to get his naked upper-body up, but had no strength left and fell asleep. Mewtwo moved him away into a secluded cave and let Ash rest there. Ash woke up again and found several leaf-bandages on his wounds. After, several weeks, he was completely healthy; however, he couldn't activate his powers. Ash stayed on the island about a year longer to get himself back on his feet.

"I can fly again!" Ashe exclaimed as he was hovering over the secret island and landed back down.

"Let's see if I can do this again too." Ash reared back and focused some energy in his hands. "RAI…JEN…GEKI!" Ash launched all his energy into the sky in the energy beam.

"What are you doing? Trying to reveal the island?" Mewtwo busted in on his training session.

"Sorry. I was trying to get my energy back in use." Ash happily smiled, but Mewtwo warned him and let him back to his session.

"Now, let's push it up a notch. AHHH!" Ash began to charge energy inside himself. Rocks, trees, and mountains began to crumble. Ash's body began to transform, his muscles pumped up, golden yellow fur grew back, his ears changed back into Raichu ears, and his hair spiked up golden yellow and finished the transformation.

"I'm back! Alright!" Ash happily looked at himself, with his golden aura flowing around him, and flew up into the air, merrily zipping in the sky, but Mewtwo blocked his way again.

"I told you to stop doing that! You'll reveal our location!" Mewtwo warned again.

"Fine! Geez. You're worst than Mis…" Ash fell in grief remembering Misty and leaving Ashley alone.

"I have to go back." Ash turned around. "Thanks for everything Mewtwo."

"Okay. I have a departing gift for you." Mewtwo psychically levitated a yellow, black-stripped egg. "I believe this egg is a special Pichu. I found it out by sea, take good care of it."

"Thanks Mewtwo." Ash took the egg and blasted away.

Back in Cerulean City

Misty and Ashley returned to the Cerulean gym, living their lives normally, or tried to anyways.

"He's gone Ashley, please go to sleep." Misty tried to console her sobbing daughter by her bed.

"I miss him. I only knew him for a few hours." Ashley cried out.

"I miss him too, but we can't dwell on the past anymore. Go to sleep."

Ashley listened, and Misty left the room, turning the light off. The next day was Ashley's birthday, and she found a pokemon egg next to her when she woke up. She was shocked to see the egg, but saw a shadowing coming from the window. A man stood there with his back turned to her.

"Who are you?" Ashley questioned the man standing there.

"Happy birthday Ashley." The man turned around, revealing himself.

"Daddy! You're alive!" Ashley dropped the egg on the bed and ran up to hug his leg.

"Did you find your present?" Ash asked the little girl and she nodded happily.

"You look different." Ashley noticed that he was half bare on the top with no fur or spiked up hair.

"This is how I look normally, except for this." Ash untied his tail he wrapped around his waist and let it flow.

"Let's wake up mommy! She would want to see you again too!" Ashley dragged him out and opened up her mother's room, but wasn't there.

"I'll see where she is." Ash closed his eyes and searched for her life-aura signature, and located it at a mall.

"I know where she is. Let's go surprise her."

Ash bent down and Ashley hopped on his back. He teleported outside and flew off to the mall. After he arrived, everyone was staring at him his unusualness. He had no shirt on; his pants were ripped all over, and had a tail popping out. Ash quickly took Ashley and went inside to look for Misty. Ash hid behind some small plants in the mall. He then searched for her life-aura signature and found her close by, but someone else as well.

"Ashley, who's that guy with your mother?" Ash asked her about a man with his back towards them next to Misty.

"Him, he's a guy mommy goes with every night and leaves me in Pewter with Uncle Brock." Ashley folded her arms. Ash turned his head to get a better look at this guy; his life-aura seemed familiar to him as well. When the man turned his head, Ash saw it was Gary! What was Misty doing with him? Then, Gary went onto one knee and opened a small box, revealing a ring. To Ash's surprise, Misty accepted.

"Has she forgotten about me already…I can't believe this!" Ash shut his eyes; he couldn't bear looking at it anymore. He pushed a fist into his chest, repressing an emotion he wanted to unleash on Gary, but it was Misty's decision. He knew he couldn't sway it.

"Daddy, what are mommy and that guy doing?" Ashley curiously asked Ash.

"We're leaving now; she wouldn't want to see me anyways." Ash took Ashley and put her on his back and teleported out of the mall. Then zipped back to the Cerulean Gym and put Ashley back into her room.

"I have no place here anymore Ashley. I will be going now." Ash told and her and walked up to her open window.

"Why are you leaving again Daddy? You've gone too long."

"Some things are meant to stay the same. However, I have one last question. Why do you call me your father?"

"I don't know, but I feel connected to you somehow." Ashley sighed. "Mommy told me so many great stories about you, and I want to be like you."

"You do not want to be like me. I'm leaving now. Take good care of your present when it hatches." Ash said to the six-year old girl and took off.

"Am I truly destined to be alone…forever?" Ashley silently sobbed and flew away into the morning sun.
