New Changes
—————
Ash slowly woke up, at first all he could see is nothing but black since the storm. But soon, as he heard people calling out for him when he was unconscious, his sight returned to him.
His first thoughts were of his friends, "Misty… Brock… Gary… May…" Strangely, his voice sounded older and more mature than usual. He found doctors looking downwards at him with care, "Don't worry, sir, we've found you and your companions on the space station, you're extremely lucky. And I mean really extreme."
Ash asks, "Dr. Proctor?" The doctor who talked to him nods, "Yes, that's me. But how do you know me?" Ash answered, "I'm Ash Ketchum from Pallet Town." The doctor shrugs, "I don't know, you look and sound more like a father of four children than a 23-year-old Pokémon trainer to me."
Ash groans, "That must mean that I've had the worst and longest nightmare any human would've had." Dr. Proctor said, "Actually, that storm was real." Ash remembers that his voice has changed, "My voice sounds different. You said that I look more like some father of four children, is that right?" The nurse nearby the doctor nods, "Yes, he did. But on the bright side, you're one handsome hunk now!"
Ash was curious beyond all reason, "Does anybody have a mirror?" The nurse pointed to the wall next to the door out of the room Ash was resting in, "Over there." Dr. Proctor said, "Just be strong, Ash." Ash felt his legs, he got up from the bed, he is clad in a hospital patient's gown, and he took a long look into the mirror… he looks ten years older now, his hair developed some white ends but still most of his out-of-control hair is jet-black, and as the nurse said he has become gorgeous.
Ash turns to the doctor, "Was anybody hit by the storm aside from me?" Doctor Proctor looked in the clipboard of notes he has in his hand, "Nurse Joy confirmed that all Pokémon are 100 percent okay and good as new. The only other people on board the space station are three lovely ladies and three other men, like you they're in Pr. Maple's medical facility… in quarantine."
Ash turns to a nightstand close to his hospital bed, he found his Poké-belt and Pokédex, and Pikachu was sleeping at the end of his bed. It woke up and jumped into Ash's arms with joy. Ash tells him, "I've got to see the others."
Ash rushed out the door, there he's found Gary; he looks normal despite having tips of his brown hair turned red like blood. He asks, "Gary, is that really you?" Gary nods, "Yeah, it's me. I'm going to see Brock. But are you really Ash Ketchum?" Ash nods calmly, "Yeah, I guess the fear took over when you were in danger and blanched a bit of me."
Gary shrugs, "At least you look like a half-grandpa with that look. But I like the 'do, don't get me wrong!"

Brock wakes up and found Gary and Ash looking at him with concern, "Gary?" Gary nods as Ash points to himself and says, "It's me, Ash."
Brock sighs with relief, "I guess the exterior shields didn't help you." Ash remembers, "May and Misty, they helped me!" then he ran off to find them both. Max comes by and guides Ash around.
Gary explains, "He's fine, everyone else is fine, and the mission was a success despite the storm." Brock pauses for a few moments then asks, "Well, what's wrong with me?" Gary tries to help Brock relax, "I swear to you, Brock… they've done everything humanly possible. You've had the best plastic surgeons in the world in high hopes of fixing you."
Brock sights a hand mirror on the nightstand next to him, worried about how he may look now, he tried to grab it but Gary was quick and snatched it before the hopeful future Pokémon breeder could even get it. Gary looked worried, "I'm not so sure… they said the shock alone——"
Brock roared out, "GIVE ME THE GODDAMN MIRROR!" before he pulled it from Gary's fingers! Gary said to Brock in a calming matter, "Just be strong, man." Brock prepared for the worst as he raised the mirror's face to show his own…
Excluding having some tiny green lines in his hair, Brock looks perfectly normal (as he usual is). Gary sneaked towards the door with a mischievous smile on his face, "Unfortunately, they couldn't do a thing to fix your face." When Gary took this chance to run away in success of his mischief, Brock put the mirror down and screamed out, "I'M GONNA KILL YA!"

Ash visited Misty first, she was still in bed and unconscious. The only changes he could find on her was small bits of her orange-red hair has turned a pure true blue and has grown even longer than before, as well as become more beautiful than she was before (more than he remembered last), he smiled as he ran his fingertips from her shoulder down to her palm. He went with some instincts and drew his face in closer to kiss her, she began to stir!
As she began to stir, he backed off a bit and walked off, but not before noticing that she's receiving flowers as get-well presents from her admirers, he said to one of the doctors bringing them, "I don't think she would like most of them; do you have any Articuno blue star roses or Suicune rainbow magic lilies?" He nods, "Yes, Mr.… Ash Ketchum (name tag). Both are from someone named Delia Ketchum and Waterflower's Daisy, Violet, and Lilly. Why?" Ash sighs, "If they have any cards on them with their names, I'd like to sign my name on them too."
So Ash instantly written his name beneath the other names that came with the suggested flowers before leaving. He seems to still know that they're her favorites. As she woke up, she knew that Ash still cared for her since she has heard him, but was a little depressed that he still won't show it completely that much. She looked at the flowers and smiles, "Thank you, Ash."

As Ash and Max went to find May, a pounce from behind Ash proved to them that they didn't have to look for her any further. Ash smiles nervously, "Uh… hi, May?" May got off of him and helped him up, Ash asks her, "Um… did you take your measurements test already? Because you look (and feel) like your hospital robe just got too tight for you."
May felt herself allover; she hasn't gained any weight but her curves have gotten better than before and her bosom has gotten even bigger they were before! She exclaimed, "My goodness! I feel lighter in weight everywhere… yet I feel very strong too… I like these legs… these hips too… these are like G-cup… I feel like a warm and very soft air-filled cushion. I guess the storm is also good for beauty upgrades."
Ash pointed at her hair, "You may want to consider getting a hair band too, May; your hair has grown to an amazing length. Not to mention as well as having it being yellow/golden/blonde-tipped." May checked her wing-like banes, which is now all tipped with yellow, "I love this a lot too!"

As for Team Rocket, the dynamic trio that is, they found themselves in unusual situations of their own as they each woke up individually——
James had a blank look on his face (his face hasn't changed, don't worry fan girls of his) and feeling delirious he said, "That's right, Becky. It's 7 minutes past the hour and we will cover more on the disastrous yet successful space mission on the news with Joe. We will have more hits afterward, onto you, Joe." He falls over on his side, to the floor, to signify he's gone unconscious again (with his eyes in the swirly anime way).
Jessie also acted goofy as she got up in a daze when she woke up, "But Mommy, I don't want to go school today! I want to stay home and make cookies with you!" she even hugged and cuddled up with Meowth, who was sleeping next to her! Meowth woke up, freaked!
Meowth yowled out, "MEOWTH! Jessie, stop it! I'm not a stuffed animal!" Jessie woke up completely, "Oh, Meowth…" she checked her surroundings and asked "Where am I?" James followed, "It appears that we're back home on our planet, but in quarantine." Jessie asks, "Quarantine? What's that?" James remembers; even Jessie doesn't know the true meaning of 'downloading', he explains, "It means we're in the hospital to be checked on to see if we're infected with some kind of sickness and the doctors are leaving us checked on until they say we're okay and ready to leave."
Meowth said, "The Nurse Joy's allover this country we landed in checked on all the Pokémon and we've been all given a clean bill of health plus new attacks and abilities." Jessie said, "But that also means we've got to work here until we can pay our hospital bills." Meowth shook his little head at them, "We don't have to; before we went into space, I've invested 1 cent apiece for each of the three of us, and now by the moment we've returned to Earth, our cash supply went up to $10 million apiece."
Jessie and James suddenly felt better, Jessie asks, "When did we end up from space to this hospital?" Meowth answered, "Just 4 days ago. 1 million of my share between us is being used to cover you two while you two are in quarantine." James asks, "And as for the other shares, which happens to be ours, how much is left?" Meowth answers, "Altogether the three of us have $29 million."
James sighs, "In that case… we can pay off the boss for all the debts we have to pay him." Meowth shrugs, "Um… funny you should mention that; the boss was also up in space with us… or more likely… with the twerp who owns Pikachu back behind the station's shields." Jessie calculated, "Hopefully, he won't mind it if we forget those debts, right?"

Not only did Giovanni forget about the debts those three have to pay, thanks to the huge pay he got from being on that space expedition, but he also got a small scar on his left temple right behind and beside his eye. He's not in the hospital, one of his loyal Rocket thugs disguised as a professional doctor took him out.
Giovanni asks Domino, ".009, how's our stocks?" She answers, "Amazing; we're looking at a high percentage of 100,000,000's… it's a great number, considering——" He interrupts with a suggestion of words for her, "The freak of nature within Maple and Oak's disaster? Well, since the storm… there was someone I had a strange feeling that I should be concerned with. Someone that gives me the feeling that gives me an incredible concern that he may lead to my demise. But how could he since that man is no more."

Ash sneezed. Pikachu squeaked, "Pika?" Ash rubs his nose, "Someone must have spoken ill about me."
