(Ash's POV)

It was a set up. To explain it better here's how the last two weeks were suppose to go down, at least the way Misty wanted it to. Misty, my ex-girlfriend and now my ex-best friend had a plan. She told Dawn the combination to her father's safe so she had access to a gun. She told May that I chose her so she would go find me at the hospital and right after she told Dawn to go to the hospital where I was staying and she said everything about May and I and how if she wanted me she would have to do something about it. After that she waited for her plan to take action. You ask why she did this. If the cops found a dead Dawn with a registered gun to her father it would ruin him and he always favored Misty's sisters over her, it's actually kind of sad. She would also probably have a straight shot with me, I was just a bonus. She expected Dawn wouldn't be able to kill May, she counted on me breaking up with her to keep her safe or May staying in a coma. She knew Dawn would want to commit suicide, Iris wasn't much competition. She didn't expect my love for May was this strong and for her to wake up so soon, she also didn't expect Dawn to run out of bullets before she could kill herself and Brock and I figuring out her whole plan. All that was left was to confront her about this.

At Misty's House

*Knock Knock, Misty answers the door*

"Hey Ash I heard that May came out of her coma and that Dawn and Paul are going out now." She seemed nervous and for good reason.

"Misty I know what you were planning."

"Ash, I…"

"Don't speak, you know I could call the cops and have you arrested."

"Ash please don't!"

"I won't call the cops."

"So are we still best friends?"

"Hell no, you planned to have my girlfriends die!" This sounds a lot better in my head, actually saying it makes me feel kinda like a scumbag, or a pimp which actually sounds much better.

"But, Ash-,"

"Save your breath, but I would like to introduce you to someone."

"Who?"

*Gary comes out of nowhere*

"Hey Ash, where's this Misty girl you told me about?"

"She's right here."

"Wow you are a cutie. How about you and I go for walk and get to know each other."

"Well, it couldn't hurt."

Best idea ever! I'm such a good matchmaker. Well, I guess everything is back to normal.

"So wait, are you gonna let that bitch get away for what she almost did to us?"

"May, where did you come from? I thought you were back at your place resting."

"Uhhh… I wasn't stalking you to see what happened to Misty if that's what you think."

She thinks I'm crazy, well I am but still. "Listen, the important thing is that everyone's fine and has a boyfriend or girlfriend (except Brock) and everyone is happy."

"I guess you're right, so do you want to celebrate?"

"Why not?" this is the llife, hot girlfriend, good friends… sorta. Life couldn't get any better.

*Kiss*

So May ended up with Ash and helps him with his Schizophrenia. Everyone eventually forgot about what Misty did after Gary's proposal. Dawn is still with Paul and have decided to take things slow. Ash's mother finally told Ash about her marriage with Professor Oak and his nephew in law, Gary. Brock is still single but went on to be an expert animal breeder he now works to help endangered animal species repopulate. Iris became a wildlife expert and crossed paths with Brock a few times. Everyone eventually graduated from Pallet high and went their separate ways. But the story didn't end there.

Five years later

"Hey Ash, why were you so nervous at dinner today?" May said undressing after coming home from a night out.

"Because I was waiting to do this for a long time and tonight I finally do." Ash gets on one knee and opens a small ring case.

"May Maple, will you marry me?"

"Oh my god I don't know what to say other than, yes I will marry you!"

She hugs Ash and kisses him deeply for what seemed like hours. She tries on the ring, it was a finely cut three karat stone.

"It's perfect Ash."

"Only the best for my baby, you know I would never give you some second grade diamond, I needed one that came close to my Diamond. This was the closest one I found."

"You're so sweet and a little bit cheesy, we have to tell everyone."

Calls everyone!

"I'm so happy for you May!"

"Thanks Misty!"

"Can I be the Maid of Honor?"

" Are you literally asking me that Dawn is my Maid of Honor, but you can be a bridesmaid."

"Yeah I expected as much."

Both of them hang up the phone.

"Hey Misty, who was that?"

"It was May, she and Ash are getting married."

"That's great now I could finally live out my dream of being a best man!"

Gary's phone rings

"Hello Ash! I just wanna say that it's an honor to be your-."

"Brock is my best man. Sorry but you were kinda a douche bag to me when we were little. Sorry but you're invited to the wedding anyway. "

Hangs up the phone

"Son of a bitch!"
