Ash's

Awakening

All material copyright to original owners

Ash could hear an occasional beep which he assumed meant that he wasn't dead yet, he heard faint voices and opened his eyes; Ash looked around the room and saw that he was lying in a hospital bed hooked up to different machinery. Suddenly, Misty ran walked into the room and, noticing Ash, ran forward and hugged him; Just then Ash's mother cleared her throat, making Misty jump backwards away from Ash blushing. A doctor walked into the room and his mouth fell open in disbelief when he saw that Ash was awake. Ash looked up to the doctor and asked, "How am I still alive?"

"I'm not sure," the doctor replied, "for awhile it seemed that you were going to die, but then you would pull back into the normal zones."

"But how did I not die from the shrapnel?"

"Have you ever seen that movie Ironman?"

Ash thought for a moment and, finally realizing what the doctor was saying, lifted his shirt to- 'ohmygodhedoesn'thavehisshirton' Misty thought- to see that there was a flat, round light embedded into his chest. "Oh my god," he muttered.

"Yes," the doctor continued, "and there is scarring on your face from more shrapnel."

"I want to find who did this," Ash said determinedly.

"Police virtually reconstructed the rocket and saw that there was a large red letter R on it."

"Team Rocket," Ash thought, "I'm getting tired of this."

"You going to do something about them?" Misty asked.

"Yes."
