I don't own Pokemon, but I do own Eve.

Chapter 16: Getting Better!

As another month passed by, Ash was finally looking better and he wasn't always thinking about Dawn.

Pikachu was happy about this because its best friend and trainer was training again with his pokemon a little bit every time Eve laid down for a nap.

Eve was just happy to have her Daddy around to play with her and love her and she smiled a lot when he did play with her.

Even the others noticed that he was back himself as much as he could with his daughter around and they saw how loving and caring he was again along with protective of his daughter like he was with Dawn.

Everything seemed to be doing great until one night when everything changed.

(A Couple Of Nights Later)

Ash was lying in his bed with Pikachu curled up next to him and Eve in her crib.

He looked at the ceiling while thinking of how everything has turned around from that fateful day of losing his Dawn along with the couple of weeks later when he tried to commit suicide.

He smiled as he thought back about how he found out that he was pregnant with Eve and how everything seemed to get better with Eve around.

He was about to fall asleep when he heard a voice and his eyes shot open and he sat up quickly.

"Oh, Ash. There are times that I wish you were here with me, but you seem so happy now with little Eve and I don't want to take you away from her." said a voice in his mind and his eyes widened when he knew who it was.

"Dawn? Where are you?" whispered Ash, looking around the bedroom.

"I'm in heaven now, watching you. I just wish that you could live normally like you did when I was around." said Dawn in his mind.

"Dawn, I am living normally like before, just with a daughter now that is yours as well. Please tell me, did you give me our daughter for me to live normally again?" asked Ash, trying to hold back his tears.

"I just wanted a way for you to live, but it wasn't my doing about getting you pregnant. You can blame Arceus when you get here later in life." replied Dawn sadly before being her normal self.

"Arceus. Arceus is the one that did everything to me because he's the god of life. I can't believe this." said Ash, letting his tears go.

"Everything will be alright, Ash. You can talk to him when it's your time. I have to go, I love you so much, Ash." said Dawn before her voice disappeared from inside his head.

"Bye, Dawn. I-I l-love you t-too." said Ash, crying as she left.

He sat there and cried quietly before realizing what he needed to do.

He laid back down with a plan in his mind.

Hope you enjoyed Chapter 16! I'm hoping to finish this tomorrow. I would finish it today, but I have work in the morning. Oh well. Happy Memorial Day! See ya later!
