A/N: It's finally here, the last chapter of The Civil Wars. Thanks for all the support so far and please enjoy the chapter.
Hoenn Region: Unknown location
I woke up several hours later in a dark room. It took me several seconds to realize where I was. The last thing I remember was a girl's face...May's face. But that could be right, she couldn't have saved me.
"Hello," I croaked, my throat sore. "Anyone there?"
I sat up just as the door opened, flooding the room with light. I shielded my eyes, but I could make out the silhouette someone standing in the door. "Good your awake," a girl's voice said. The girl switched on the lights and I lowered my hand. The girl smiled. "It's been a long time Ash Ketchum."
There was no doubt about it, it was May Maple. One of my travel companions when I was in the Hoenn region. She looked the same, except her hair was longer and her body had matured...a lot.
"May...wha-...how...what's going on?"
She sat down on the bed next to me. "I found you washed up on the shore near my house. It wasn't easy getting you here, but I managed."
"Wait I'm in Petalburg City?" If that was true, I had washed twenty miles down the river. How was I still alive.
"Yeah. You were unconscious for three days. I thought about getting you a doctor, but yesterday I found out you're a wanted man." She lowered her eyes. "You're a URP soldeir from the war prison."
I gulped. "You know about that? How?"
"A group of ASHR soldiers from the prison came through looking for escapes. Actually only one person escaped alive. All the other prisoners are dead."
It felt like a thousand knives had been stabbed into me at once. Only one escaped alive. That meant Brock and all the others were dead. I place both hands on my face. I felt really sick.
"Ash, are you alright?" May asked softly.
I removed my hands and took a deep breath. "I'll be fine. I just can't believe I was the only one. Are you sure no one else made it out?"
May nodded. "It was on the news. Every prisoner was executed and only one person made it out alive."
"But how would the-." I stopped when a loud crash erupted. The bedroom window scattered and gas grenades hit the floor.
"What the Hell." I yelled. Had the ASHR soldiers found me?
"Ash." May said, fear visible in her voice.
"It's ok!" I yelled as the gas hit my nose and everything became fuzzy. "It's ok..."
"Ash wake up. Come on man, wake up!"
Slowly opened my eyes. "May?"
"Do I look like a cute brunette," an annoyed looking Gary Oak asked. "or was that gas a lot stronger than I thought."
"Where are we? Where is May?" I looked around frantically.
"Whoa whoa, easy Ketchum. We're on a Fearow heading back home."
I nodded. "Where's May?"
"We left her there. I was leading the team that was sent to rescue you. We picked up your tracking chip. The one they have implanted in our arms. It started going off when you were in Petalburg City. The General sent a small team and we saved your ass." He gave a cocky grin. "You're welcome."
"Where are we going?"
"I told you, home. The war is almost over. We have a new little toy to test on the ASHR."
Home. I was ready to go home...
The bomb was dropped a month later. For four years the URP had secretly been building the atomic bomb. The ASHR and OIF had all but defeated us when we dropped it. Kanto and Johto were surrounded and the enemy was ready to invade. Our only hope was the drone that had secretly been sent to the Sinnoh region. The drone dropped the bomb on Jubilife City, which was completey leveled and several thousand killed. The following day, the ASHR and OIF forces withdrew from Kanto and Johto.
Several months later the ASHR, URP, and OIF were dissolved and peace returned to the Regions. The scars of the war remained though. Deep hatred still divides us and many people and Pokémon were killed in the war. Several rules of war were created and Pokémon were banned for warfare use.
As I look back on it, I lost many important people. Brock was acknowledged as K.I.A. His family held a funeral service. Pickachu was classified as M.I.A. I haven't hear from Dawn, May, or Max. They probably hated me. They only person from my childhood besides Gary is Misty, but the military keeps he from seeing her.
I was promoted to Captain and Gary Oak was promoted to Colonel. We continue serving because the peace we have now, could easily be broken.
The war changed everything. I don't know who fired the first shots, but it doesn't matter. The war happened and nothing can change that. This is Captain Ash Ketchum signing off. This was my story.
A/N: Wasn't expecting an ending like that were you? Hope in was satisfying enough and not too sad.
Thanks again for all the support so far. This was one of my first stories and I know it wasn't the best. Since this story and my GX story are finished, I'll be focusing on my Bleach story. If you like Bleach, please read my story and I hope it's as good or better than this one. I'll also be revising the earlier chapters of The Civil Wars; fixing grammar and spelling. I also have a poll on my profile for future FF stories. Go and vote on it.
Well that everything. Later.
