Sup, it's been awhile. On the bright side this story is finally wrapping up and I think at this point it's predictable, but that doesn't mean there still won't be any unpredictable parts. Like I said there will be an actual appearance of Ash and his friends but instead of taking place in the Alola region like it should, it'll be in the Kanto region. I think that's the most suitable place for everyone to meet. Cal will be in this chapter.

In case I haven't made it clear enough in the 29 previous chapters, I do NOT own Pokemon or any of the Dragon Ball Series. The owners are Akira Toriyama and Satoshi Tajiri.

I present you chapter 30!

I got an important message back in chapter 1.

"Is she going to be alright," a sobbing Mai asked frantically checking Misty's pulse and thankfully it still was.

"I don't know, but stay here with Bulla while I take her to see my mom," Trunks said to his girlfriend. Mai nodded with no hesitation and held Bulla's hand tightly as she watched her boyfriend took off with her unconscious friend. Mai held onto the locket with her other hand (A/N the girls had the lockets on the entire time, the reason why it wasn't mentioned before was that it wasn't needed) as she prayed for Misty's safety.

"Why iz Missy sweepy?" asked the youngster of a girl who had no idea what's going on as she was completely unaware of her brother's and Mai's sadness.

'that's it she's just sleeping and she'll wake up,' Mai convinced herself in her thoughts.

"Hey, why Missy sweepwing?" Bulla rephrased her sentence.

Mai was snapped out of her thoughts and looked down at the girl and smiled. "It's been a long day for her, I'm sure she's just tired," Mai kneeled toward the younger girl and gave her a hug.

"Why?" Bulla asked, not really getting the explanation.

"I don't know Bulla, I wish I did," Mai continued to hug her.

At Capsule Corp

Trunks still had an unconscious Misty in his arms and kept hold of her like his life depended on it, although it was most likely Misty's life that depended on it. The boy search for his mother, he was too panicked to use his ki sensing ability.

He started crying and then Bulma appeared behind him. "Trunks, what's wrong?" she asked her son, who turned around to show her what's the matter.

"Misty's energy dropped so suddenly then she fainted in my arms," he explained as clearly as he could through his sobs. Bulma gasped and quickly got her son to the same room Misty and Bulma had their first conversation, there were other workers but they were immediately asked to leave.

Trunks laid Misty gently on a bed that his mother had a capsule for. He held her hand whispering that she'll be fine, although he was trying to convince himself more than her in this case.

"Trunks, I know you're concerned but leave this to me, alright?" Bulma said. "You should get her parents or something, anything to get your mind off of it, after all, it's not healthy for you to stress out like this," she smiled ever so sweetly at her beloved son.

Trunks needed to go get Mai and Bulla anyway. "Okay mom, but please my health is the least of your worries, Misty should be your top priority, rather if I'm your son or not," he said in a warning way. Trunks then went to Tien and Launch who immediately went rushing to their daughter after they were told the news. After that, he quickly went back to his girlfriend and sister and return faster than the speed of light.

Goten also got the news, so did his brother, sister-in-law, and his mother was called up to. Piccolo has great hearing and he sensed that Misty wasn't in the best position. Krillin, 18, and their daughter were also aware of her current condition.

Soon enough almost everyone was there. Goku and Vegeta were even around but not the same purpose as everyone else, however, they stayed waiting and wondering if the child will be alright...more so Goku. Vegeta was mainly concerned for his son's sorrow. Vegeta didn't like it when his son or any of his family upset. Of course, because this is Vegeta, an arrogant man such as himself would never admit to any type of feeling.

Bulma told everyone it was a virus of some sort that she couldn't identify or why it came out of nowhere or even how for that matter. Cal was there too and an angry Trunks was wondering on why he didn't warn everybody about it since he knew everything, but like of all responses 'he was destined not to'. Trunks stormed out of there in anger, he had it with Cal and his stupid got-old-easily excuse, but he was far more concerned about Misty's state.

Dende came to try to heal her but it only has her regained consciousness.

"Where am I?" Misty asked groggily. She got up only to hold her head.

"You're in capsule corp," Dende answered.

"You fainted due to a um...health issue," Bulma explained, not knowing how to put words together.

"What kind of health issue?" Misty inquired.

Bulma sighed, "I'm not exactly sure but you have to understand no one here in this building is immortal," the only best way Bulma could put it.

"What does not being immortal have anything to with my health?" she asked as she began to panic.

Tears pricked in Bulma's eyes and as much as she didn't want to face Misty, she had to. "Honey, I want you to know that you're very strong in more ways than one," Buma tried smiling in the sake of positivity and she sighed trying to pick the right words. "Misty, your health is very serious, and that's all I know," she finally looked away.

"Y-you mean I'm...dying?" Misty asked shaking.

"The truth is I'm not 100% certain what you got but it's not safe to have in your body," Bulma emphasized the best way she could to the 12-year-old girl.

Tears started to form in Misty's eyes as well, she knew what Bulma was trying to do and it wasn't really helping.

"Don't worry we still got Dragonballs, all we have to do is wait at least a year and then we can wish for a cure," Bulma explained putting on a sad smile.

"But...it's all or nothing isn't it?" Misty whispered.

"What do you mean? Because I'm sorry I didn't catch that," said a now confused Bulma.

"Bulma, whatever I got is deadly, right?" Bulma nodded.

"Rather if it's a disease or a virus it won't matter because once I'm gone before the year is up, I'm done for to never return," Misty said softly but to a point where Bulma can clearly hear her.

The blue-haired woman is shocked, yes it was true she thought of it too, but despite Misty's intelligence, Bulma would never think she would be smart enough to know that viruses and/diseases are a type of a natural cause of death.

"Whatever I have it'll kill me in a natural way, and then not even Shenron can bring me back," Misty started to cry even more. Bulma comforted her by hugging her as Dende stood there the entire time looking at the poor young girl in grief.

"Shh-shh, it's okay, like I said you're strong and you'll live long enough for us to wish for a cure before it's too late," Bulma cooed holding her tightly.

Misty pulled back. Just then her parents and Trunks walked into the room. Bulma then decided it was time for her to leave and let Misty go, she was followed by Dende.

"Your energy level dropped down rapidly, is there something you need to tell us?" Tien asked his adopted daughter.

The young girl shook her head, "Honestly dad I don't know what to say, or at least how to tell you, even though you should know what's going on," she said.

Tien stared at his daughter in shock not getting what's going on and what's up with her.

"Sweetie, you were in perfect health before you left today," Launch (sweet side) then spoke up.

"Yeah, I even sensed you were fine," Tien added.

"Not only that but last week you were checked with both Dende and Bulma and your condition seemed to be great,"Launch once again recalled.

The adoption mother started to hug her daughter tightly as her husband did the same hugging his wife and child. "Is there something we did wrong? Are we horrible parents? I knew we could never be perfect, but still," Launch cried.

"Was it because I trained you too hard in martial arts? I'm sorry I didn't know this would happen, I swear I didn't," Tien apologized to his little girl with an aching feeling inside.

"We don't deserve you, is that it? Sorry if we were just trouble to you," Launch also apologize but with more sob of interruption.

Misty had it and got out of their grip, "Enough!" her face was red and wet.

Everyone in the room stood stunned. Misty sighed wiping her face. "There's nothing you can do to prevent this, and I know you didn't know, you guys tried your best and you're amazing parents with great flaws, and the fact that you were willing to take care of me despite knowing there'll be some unknown troubles makes you guys the best parents, so don't doubt yourself," she said to her parents.

"You guys couldn't have known I'm...I might not have long to live but here's the thing I'm a fighter just and I will make it through because a year is a short amount of time to wait for the dragon balls to be in their true form," Misty spoke to everyone in the room.

"SO IT'S THAT BAD?!" Trunks asked, yelling even though everyone knew at this point.

Misty sighed once again realizing she made a mistake in telling them. "Again I didn't know until now, I just found out," she softly whispered. Her parents left the kids in the room to have Misty and Trunks talk. Misty didn't turn just yet to see them walking out the door; after all what child would want to see their parents cry?

She then turned to face Trunks to speak to him,"Trunks no matter what happens in the end let's make everything count, okay? I want to continue telling stories about our daily lives and experiences that seemed interesting. I also still want to boss you and Goten around and I want you guys to not listen to me that way I can get upset. I still want to play in Mount Paozu with whatever odd game we come up with, I still want to live as a daughter and a friend to everyone I know here. Can we eat ice cream just one last time or go to the beach or find something new? I still want to walk by your side and never leave, because even if something does happen to me...I'll still be there because I know you'll do the same,"Misty said.

Trunks still had a sad expression on his face, but in his thoughts, he smiled thinking 'It's like she heard me back at the docks' he was glad that was Misty's plan all along.

Taking one last breath to speak she says, "This is my battle to fight, so relax and don't over stress yourself," she smiled sadly.

"Are you afraid?" Trunks asked looking down.

Misty shut her eyes and mumbled a 'Mm-hmm'.

"Then why do you seem so brave?" Trunks asked another question, this time looking directly at her.

"Because it's the truth and I learn to accept it, that and remember Trunks looks can be deceiving," she tried to smile as cheerfully as she could.

Trunks looked at her, she's the same healthy girl from earlier that day and the one that was there next to him when his mom wished on the Dragonballs, the only difference is that she's most likely dying as time continues.

"So is it really that bad? I mean I knew you weren't in good condition but this is ridiculous," Trunks scoffed at the end of his sentence.

"Again I don't know what's going on, I just know it's not your everyday flu, and that I need a cure, or maybe this a simple jump scare that my body wants to do," Misty spoke in monotone.

Trunks raised an eyebrow at her, seeing this expression Misty immediately replied,"For all we know your mom might've thought it was a virus or disease of some sort, and maybe my body is just playing games," she put an emphasized on 'thought'.

"I sure hope so," was all Trunks could really say at this point.

"Sure has been a big day full of a depressed factory of emotions, huh," Misty said breaking the silence that was there.

"First we had Cal put us in a low self-esteem mode in wishing back the lives of people he recently killed," Misty recalled the first thing,"Then I had to say goodbye and to Splash," she continues on, "And finally I got this stupid thing of an illness that's either scaring people I care about for nothing or for something right after and the only thing to ensure it's disappearance is with the Dragonballs that we used earlier today before even realizing its existence!" she concluded.

"Also I had this strange dream," the orange haired girl added.

"What's it about?" Trunks spoke up breaking his own silence.

"Are you sure you want to know?"

"Yep, how bad could it be?"

"It'll only just add on to this roller coaster of sadness,"

"That's alright, you're still here to cheer me up,"

With that Misty blushed at his response. "Okay then," Misty started telling her dream.

The Dream

It was about Misty at her gym in Kanto and she was once friends with a guy named Trunks, not the same one but he did have the exact same appearance and like Misty, he wanted to be a water Pokemon trainer and he always took pride in his abilities, but he died before Misty even started her journey. With Parents Bulma and Vegeta (who resembled their said counterparts), he died in a car crash; before his death, Misty would always let her sisters get to her and wasn't as stubborn and feisty; in fact, Trunks that she knew was that type of person and soon as he died she quickly evolved into him. Misty was tired of being scared, she shed her tears for Trunks one last time and decided to change. While at her gym, Trunks (DBZ) came to her gym with Goten.

Turns out despite the striking resemblance, he wasn't the same Trunks she grew up with. In return, the Trunks that came to her gym lost a Misty (who's the DBZ counterpart in this case) from his own world. She died out of malaria caused by a mosquito bite (sometime after taken place of the Buu saga). They did embrace each other thinking they were the people they thought they knew but was both wrong. Trunks figured it out by the fact she didn't have the same energy signature and she asked Goten's name for the Misty from his world knew Goten as long as she knew Trunks.

They later said they thought each other was dead because explaining the reasons how they did die. Trunks (DBZ) told her a car crash would maybe kill his mother but not him or his father for they are too strong, and that they don't need a car anyway because they can fly. Even if they couldn't and they did die, Trunks explained about the Dragon Balls were to wish him back even if that were the case. Apparently, the Misty this 'new' Trunks knew, was aware of him being able to fly and the dragon balls. Not to mention Misty (DBZ, in this case) was more okay and collective of things and hardly ever showed any signs of anger, although she did have an obsession with fire as if she was a caveman and she did show a bit of a pessimistic side, that was beside the point.

Her sisters walked into the gym and took noticed of Trunks and recognized him as the Trunks they knew was dead. Trunks stated Misty didn't have any sister but wanted sisters as she envied him of being a big brother to Bulla. Misty (Pokemon) snapped back at him saying she wouldn't wish for such a thing and that Trunks (Pokemon world version) didn't have any siblings and that she envied that instead.

Goten and Trunks knew they weren't in their own world from the start as they wanted to explore new areas of other planets. Trunks later stormed out the door as his friend Goten stayed behind to talk to Misty about she should get along with Trunks so they can find something in each other that they lost, because from the looks of things they were holding it in. Misty agreed and followed Goten to see Trunks (DBZ). Misty decided to stay behind a tree, despite the fact he can sense her energy signature. Goten told Trunks what he said to Misty, but Trunks denied it because he didn't want to be hurt all over again and be happy only to end up hating the happiest times since they seem to give off the most misery to him; not only that but he didn't want an 'imposter' taking the Misty he knew place. Goten told him the Misty 'here' wasn't going to be a replacement and that Trunks should consider her feelings that she's going through the same thing as he was, so might as well be miserable together. In other words, he should just risk it, after all, she was taking all the same exact risks.

Goten's lecture did bring him to his senses and Trunks started walking to the tree Misty was behind. Trunks brought out his hand to the girl and said "Hi, I'm Trunks," and she smiled shaking his hand, replying "I'm Misty,". A sign they were starting over as the different Misty and Trunks they were to each other, and starting over with the people they lost dearly in their hearts to never replace and only remember them in joy like they should and never once again sorrow. A start of a new friendship that tells a story of two old ones to never fade.

End Misty telling about her dream

"So Trunks do you think that means something because I think no matter what we'll always be friends and I guess I needed to be reminded," Misty said.

"I also think that's a sign...but tell me you don't happen to know a Trunks in your world because there's already enough of me as is," Trunks said causing Misty to laugh.

"Nope, unless you count your future counterpart that I only heard about, you're the one and only to me," she said.

"I think it's time for you to go back to sleep," Trunks suggested.

"Okay," she yawned going on to the bed in the middle of the room and started sleeping peacefully and intentionally, unlike last time.

"No, no, no Misty, I meant at your house!" Trunks groaned. He picked up the girl, walked out of the room and gave her to Tien to fly her and his wife home.

Cal was only really mentioned, oops. I didn't think it would really make sense for him to the dream portion is that the dream is based on Lisanna's pseudo-death in the show Fairy Tail. To let you know I didn't think of this idea until chapter 28 was out. Sorry if I spoiled the show for those who are fairly new to it or least plan on getting into it.

Please review and favorite if you like this story. Don't post anything mean to anybody no matter what and be careful too.

Note:

By the way, DBZ Misty in the dream was supposed to be in contrast with Pokemon's Misty. The Misty that's canon is afraid of bugs, the Misty that isn't canon died because of bugs. Misty's (DBZ) personality is in contrast to Pokemon Misty's favorite element. As the same goes for Canon Misty personality matching the favorite element of Misty (DBZ). I tried doing the same with the two Trunks in the dream but I got nothing good.
