A/N: I haven't gotten a lot of reviews for this story so, I don't know who to have Ash choose. I'm just going to write it out and see who my brain has Ash choose. Too the story!!!!
"Why are you making me choose?" Ash asked quickly.
"BECAUSE!" Kairi and Misty yelled at the same time.
"Let me think then. I'll let you know tomorrow morning," Ash said getting up.
Brock walked up and tried to follow him, but Ash put an electric barrier around himself.
"Pikachu…" Ash whispered looking around.
I'm thinking about things by myself Ash. I can't make this decision for you this time. It's your decision to make, not mine. Pikachu told him.
Ash mumbled to himself and paced the entire night. When the sun's first rays finally shone over the horizon he made his decision.
After breakfast that morning Ash stood in front of them all. "I thought on this all night last night. My decision is I'm not letting either of you leave. You can leave if you want to ,but I don't want either of you gone.
"Kairi, you saved my life through those years in the Team Rocket bases. I wouldn't be standing here today if it weren't for you. You saved me yesterday also. I know that I made promises that I haven't kept these past few weeks and I'm sorry.
"Misty, you've been there since the beginning. I wouldn't have beaten as many gym leaders in Kanto and Johto if you hadn't been there. You and Brock are my best friends in this world and I wouldn't be who I am today if I hadn't stolen your bike that day.
"I wouldn't be able to live through all this if I lost one of you. Kairi, you're my soul. If I lost you, I'd be incomplete and probably be forced to join Team Rocket. Misty, you're my heart. Without you I probably wouldn't be as nice as I am today. You both have changed me so much that I wouldn't be able to stand without you," Ash said.
By this time, Misty and Kairi were crying.
"I-I'm s-sorry Ash. I shouldn't have yelled at you," Kairi whispered.
"M-m-me t-too," Misty sniffled.
Kairi walked up to Ash and hugged him. "I love you, Ash," Kairi whispered in his ear.
"I love you, too," Ash whispered back.
She pulled away and kissed Ash.
Misty looked away with an angry expression as Pikachu walked back into the campsite.
Ash, we have a problem. Pikachu told him.
What's wrong? Ash asked.
Team Rocket is in Canalave City and attacking people!
Ash pulled away from Kairi and told Misty, Brock, and Dawn what happened.
They left Kairi and Ash alone.
"Ash, when you were passed out I could tell that you were worried about something. What happened?" Kairi asked.
"I saw something…" Ash whispered.
"What?" Kairi asked. "Is it an extension of your powers or something?"
"I think my powers are growing and expanding and that I am also becoming psychic. I'll show you what happened…" Ash quickly tried to remember the vision.
**Dream**
"Ash!" Kairi yelled as he fell to the ground, a small, round object protruding from his chest.
"Kai..ri," He whispered.
Kairi's tears fell on Ash's blood caked face as Misty ran over.
"You. . can't save. . me. Stop Team Rocket. . . for me," Ash whispered.
"You're n-n-not going t-t-to die. I-I'll s-save y-you," Kairi cried.
"Don't die on us Ash!" Misty yelled doing CPR after Ash closed his eyes.
"ASH!!" Kairi screeched into the sky.
**End Dream**
Tears rolled down Kairi's cheeks.
Ash wiped them away. "Don't cry. The future can always be changed. I want you to know that if I die I'll watch over and protect you."
"Thank you, Ash," Kairi whispered.
"Listen, if Gary ever takes control of me again don't barter the freedom to destroy Team Rocket. Misty, Brock, Dawn, Mae, and Max aren't in as deep as we are. I don't want them to live the way I have for the past five years. I don't want Team Rocket business to be their entire life like it has mine."
"Ash, they should probably know about that deadline. If we don't tell them and it comes it could put us all in danger."
"We're back!" Dawn called as she stepped into the clearing.
Ash looked away from them and walked into his tent.
"What's up with him?" He heard Brock asked.
"I don't know," Kairi replied.
Jesse and James walked through the flap of his tent.
"What are you two doing here?" Ash asked angrily.
"We came to tell you that Gary is on the move. Your sister is also coming and they're both talking about how they're going to capture you and then make you their slave," James said.
"Are you two going out again or is it just me?" Ash asked.
Jesse nodded and then left.
"They will stop at nothing to make you suffer for killing Tracey," James said and turned to leave.
"Wait, how'd you get out of jail?" Ash asked.
"Giovanni will tell you that later. He needs to talk with you," James replied and then left.
A/N: Okay, so I hope I left at a pretty good spot. I don't know ,but I might discontinue this story. I'm not getting a lot of reviews and I don't have a lot of time anymore. Summer is coming so, that should help. Well, like always, read and review!!!!
