(A/N: SO this is it! The results of the poll said this is the story you guys wanted to be updated sooner. I was kinda surprised, on the plus it means you readers like this story, on the down it means this will be the FINAL chapter of this story! I want to say a great big thanks to all who reviewed and voted! But a great big shame to those who just subscribe to stories without reviewing, just the simplest comment means a lot! I know if anyone puts me on their story or author alerts as I get e-mailed but I do feel a little downhearted when there's no review. I personally prefer reviews to alerts!

On another note, those who wished me good luck to pass my exams - Thank you! I don't know if I get into university yet as results are later though! Though for someone who wasn't even fluent in English I reckon I'll at least get a decent grade in my English literature and language!

Speaking of which, does the word Doctor always have a capital D? It's a title along with Mr/Miss/Mrs/Ms so should it have a capital? For this story it will have a capital but just for this chapter!

Any who enough delaying, here's the last ever chapter of this story. Yes this is the longest Author's Note which means the actual chapter will be even longer!)

Ash Ketchum: I Found My Destiny.

Chapter 14 - Epilogue. Time For A New Game...

Trixie's Pov:

It's been a few weeks since...since that event. We don't really speak of it now...I remember Ashie speaking to Mew & MewTwo about something when we were all outside. I think someone was carrying me but my sight faded in exhaustion before I could figure out who. I remember being in her arms. They were so warm...

Delia's making me call her Mom. It will take a little getting used to but it's a nice feeling. It reminds me of those nights back in my cell when Domino would tell me tales of various Pokémon she caught on missions, she admitted once that she saw one of the Grunts take a mother Butterfree and that she was worried for the baby Caterpie. It was the first time I asked her what a 'mother' meant, I spent the whole day afterwards thinking about it...

I woke up to find that all my surroundings where white. My eyes took a while to adjust. My hands were clenched around some strange material. Huh, so this is what a proper blanket feels like. My gaze travelled up my arms to see that they had wires in; it freaked me out, I grabbed the wires and ripped them off, the machines that were linked started bleeping rapidly. Sweat was dripping down my forehead and my eyes were burning with tears. What was happening. Two boys ran into the room, one with brown spiky hair with a purple top and a pendant around his neck and the other with black spiky, shorter hair with a brown shirt and green body warmer. Gary and Brock I remembered. They came around and pushed me back on the bed so that I was on my back. They each held one of my hands.

"Shhh it's okay..." Brock hushed. I hadn't realised that I was screaming.

"Ash and your Mom is in another room, there okay." I guess I know who I was yelling for. He gave me a smile and squeezed my hands. "Go back to sleep."

The way my hair was being stroked and the reassuring whispers made my eyes feel heavy. The screeching of the machines seemed far away as I was lulled into sleep.

Misty and Mom where with Ash in another room, I'm not sure where Dawn was. I faintly remember a few adults walking in with the same white coat as Grandpa Oak. (-Oh that's another name I have to use! He told me he doesn't mind.) They seemed to be checking a few things on the machines, a nurse placed another wire in my arm which was attached to a pole containing a bag of clear liquid. One of the doctors, the taller one with glasses, wrote something down on a clipboard. I fell asleep before I could catch what they were saying.

I stayed in that place for a while, I'm not sure for how long since I was asleep for most of it...

Misty's Pov:

I stood in the hallway. Three doors leading to patients rooms stood in my way. One of which had the name plate of Ash Satoshi Ketchum. I sighed and loosened my tight pony-tail and made to sit down on the beige plastic chairs, which were cold and hard.

"What do I do? It's not like I can say: Oh hey Ash I know a lot of stuffs happened with you but what's up! How are things?" I groaned in frustration. I don't wanna be like Dawn after all...

"PikaPi?"

I jumped at the sound then looked at the furry mouse nuzzling my leg worryingly. "Pikachu?"

"Pika, PikaPi?" I smiled at the way Pikachu said my name.

"No I'm not delaying seeing Ash! What would make you say that?" I yelled crossing my arms.

Pikachu made a noise that sounded like he knew I was lying.

I sighed yet again. "Okay...I know."

Pikachu seemed to smile up to me. He jumped up on my lap and I cradled him as I jumped up and walked to Ash's room. Pikachu nuzzling me to support me through.

Ash's room was a pale lemony colour with a deep blue border. The walls were laid with notices on simple hygiene, facts about deathly diseases and germs and a reminder to use the special soap before entering a new ward. I stopped delaying once more and took notice of the steady beeping - the only noise in the room apart from Ash's steady breathing. I walked up closer to his bed to see that his black messy hair was not stuck down to his forehead with sweat anymore and that the bruises and scars on his face seemed to have faded away...still the bodily damage will still leave scars...

My hands automatically went to straighten his blankets. I moved my fingers through Ash's hair then held his cheek. I gently sat down on the chair that was next to his bed, not moving my hand that held his calm face. I took in the moment to watch as he quietly breathed. My thumb stroking his cheek softly. After a few seconds I pressed my lips to his, then sat back down in the chair.

"I know your awake Ash."

His once calm face now held a confident smirk. "I was waiting for that kiss Misty." He replied, waking up and sitting up on his bed. He was looking at me with those bright eyes that regained their shine from the past few days in hospital. "How did you know I was up?"

I smiled. "Simple - There was no snoring in the room!"

"Ouch that hurt Mist!"

I childishly punched him on the shoulder.

"Hey Misty..." He asked not looking me in the eyes.

"What is it Ash?"

He looked at me. "Are you my girlfriend now?"

A pause.

I noticed beads of perspiration drip down like a waterfall down his neck as I twirled my mallet in my hands as a response.

"Ash Ketchum!.."

He laughed while it took me a minute to stare at him then join in the laughter. Isn't laughter meant to be the best medicine?

"So?" He patted the place next to him on the bed after he shuffled along. I sat down next to him as he closed the space between us with a hug. "How is...everyone?.."

"Gary and Brock looked after you two and just left today, Brock in the morning and Gary and Professor Oak a few hours ago...Dawn was...well Dawn, she said something about the whole situation that made me mad and well...aha..."

He chuckled. "I get the gist...well you are Mist!"

"Ha-ha! Rhyming now are we?"

"I'm sorry I couldn't help it!"

"Anyway.."

"How's my mom and my sister?"

I grinned. "Their fine. Your mom told me to wake you up."

Ash sighed and brushed his fingers through his hair. "I get released today don't I? Can't wait to get home!"

"Your sister was asking for you and Delia in her sleep..."

"Is she okay?"

I suddenly found a great interest in my hands.

"Misty?"

"Umm..."

"Misty I asked you something!"

I took a deep breath. "The Doctors said that she was really malnourished...it'll take a while for her body to re-gain to a normal weight..."

Ash laid his body back down on the bed, with his arms above his head on the pillow. "It's a good job then my mom cooks well!"

"Ash..."

He looked at my worried face. "I know...it'll take a while for all this to be...normal..."

I looked away from him and held my shoulder with my other arm. "Misty." I couldn't face him. "Misty look at me."

I frowned but smiled when I felt Ash's lips on mine.

"Ash!" I giggled.

"C'mon I'm already to get out of here now!"

I gave some time for Ash to change as I stepped out to the corridor.

I felt a breeze from the open window as I entered the much brighter room. Various Doctors in the room were currently removing the IV cords, Delia watching all the while with silent agony. I noticed she was already dressed.

"I should wake her up." Delia said quietly. The Doctors moved out the way. "She's still pretty drugged up so please move her around gently if possible." A nurse informed. Delia nodded in response and gently shook Trixie's shoulders. Her forehead creased and she blinked around the room, when her eyes finally met Delia's she attempted to get up by pushing all her weight to her wrists. "Mnn...hey..." She collapsed into Delia's arms. She reminded me of someone who was drunk.

"Mrs. Ketchum you won't be able to carry her." Delia looked at me like she wanted to argue.

"I can help." Came a voice, I spun around to see Gary causally leaning on the doorpost.

"Gary! I thought you had already left!"

"I told Grandpa I'd stay behind." He calms said as he gave Trixie a princess carry.

"Hmn...I..I...can...wa..." She mumbled.

"Sure you can." He chuckled, then turned around to Delia. "Mrs. Ketchum, you are taking a taxi aren't you? A car ride to Pallet Town is roughly three or four hours..."

"I...yes that seems like a good idea..."

I smiled. With those bags under her eyes she looks like she really needs a good rest. I checked to see if Gary was out the room before hugging Delia. "My sisters are taking me home so I guess I can take my leave now." She hugged me back. I don't want to interfere any longer... I thought.

Trixie's Pov:

The next thing I remember was waking up in a car. My first thought was to run, after all my first and only time in a car was when...

...I blinked trying to get rid of those images, then I felt something soft...like cotton. I had fallen asleep on Ashies shoulder. I realised. He was gazing out of the window boredly so hadn't known I woke up yet. I blinked around and saw that we were in a town of some sort...the tress were getting bigger which meant we must have left a city. Wanting to get a better look I moved my neck. I winced when a muscle twitched. I hate it when that happens... Ash's hand moved from his chin. He turned around to me when he felt my head rise from his shoulder. He smiled at me tiredly.

I rubbed my eyes and looked around. We were driving through a forest or green area. I saw valleys and small town houses.

"It's a few more minutes until we get home." He said giving me a bigger smile. I couldn't help but return one although in truth, I was terrified at the thought of coming back to the place I was born.

Ash's Pov:

Ten minutes later and we were home. I burst open the doors as mom handled the payment. Trixie got out slowly which made me laugh. Her eyes matched those of a nervous Meowth. I grabbed her hand and dragged her inside. Ignoring her protests along the way.

I opened the door to the house as the warm scent of home filled me. Pikachu jumped off my shoulders and towards the kitchen.

"Who's that Pokémon Ashie?" A small voice said from behind me. I smiled.

"It's a Mr. Mime." I replied knowing she was asking about Mr. Mime who was currently giving Pikachu his Pokéchow in a green bowl. "His kinda like a caretaker of the house to help out mom when I'm not around." She looked at me confusingly.

"How did he get here?"

I stroked my cheek. "Aha...funny story!" I led her to the couch.

"And so the circus ringleader allowed Mr. Mime to stay here in exchange for me doing those trick's dressed as one for a circus performance!" I said brightly. She clapped slowly with a tear-drop on her forehead. Mom spoke from behind us which startled me. "Why don't you two have a quick nap and I'll get on with dinner?"

"Mom aren't you tired?"

"I'll feel better once your fed." She said with a smile. "Show your sister to her room, Mimey's already prepared them for you."

"Mimey?"

"It's what she calls Mr. Mime." I told her as we both made our way up the stairs.

"Looks like this will be your room from now on." I said introducing her to a once past guest-room. Something warm appeared in her eyes and she gained a even warmer aura as she scanned the bright yellow room. A pale purple bookcase with various books of all sizes lined the furthest wall, (I'll have to teach her how to read first!) near that a cherry-wood desk with a office chair stood. A double size bed with a huge duvet was by the window, which of course had a view of the valley's of Pallet Town. We had a great view of Oak's lab which had it's windmill turning. "Looks like mom made you some clothes already." I said indicating to the night dress folded out on the bed.

"She makes clothes?" She said with a gasp.

"Yup, she's made all my clothes for when I'm travelling."

I left the room with a smile as she hugged her new clothes with her cheek.

I woke up to the sight of Pikachu nuzzling my face. "Pikachu...what time is it?" I shuffled a hand through my hair. I noticed my pillow was cold. Pidgey's were flying off to there nests as it was noon. "AH! I slept for two whole hours! I told mom I was going to have a nap!" I jumped out of bed still in my pyjamas to my sisters room. "Are you awa-..." I paused mid-sentence to the sigh of her curled up in the duvet. She looked like she was having a really peaceful nap.

"Pika."

"Yeah...I'll have to wake her up anyway for lunch..." I made my way waking her up, once she was awake we both walked downstairs to the kitchen. The aroma of mom's food felt so good my stomach rumbled. Trixie grabbed my hand tightly. I sat her down on the chair next to me. Mom turned to us both after handing out the plates. I noticed she made plain rice porridge and vegetable stew. This brought back memories of what Misty said to me earlier, about the fact that she would need to be introduced to new foods slowly. I watched her as she took a spoonful of the stew first. Out the corner of my eye I noticed mom watch carefully as well. As soon as the spoon was in her mouth tears appeared in her eyes. Mom was about to get out of her chair when...

"Mmmm!" Mom looked at me. "This is good."

Mom's eyes widened. "You like it?"

"I love it mom!" She clasped her hands over mouth when she realised what she just said. I smiled and mom went over and hugged her tightly.

"Well then eat up! You got to get your strength back!" Mom brightly told her. She waited for us to finish before continuing. "After dinner Samuel wants to see you." We both looked up at her.

"The Professor?...huh well I'm already done, you?"

"Mnn-hmm!"

I grabbed her hand as I let Mr. Mime and Delia tidy up. We got dressed with me getting ready first. I noticed she was dressed in my Kanto outfit. It had gotten way to small for me but fit her perfectly. The hat of course, remained with Misty who I had given too when we first parted. In return Misty handed me her prize lure. Pikachu jumped up on to my shoulders but then bounced into my sisters hands. I let her hold him as I led them to the Professors Lab.

"Will Gary be there?"

"Um, no probably not, his probably gone off already to do research. Brock, Dawn and Misty went home as well."

She nodded in response.

"Ah, Ashy my boy your here!" Trixie disappeared behind my back when the Professor opened the door. "And ah! You must be Trixie!" I pushed her towards him but only grabbed my tighter on my back.

She opened and closed her mouth as if trying to figure out what to say. "Hello."

"PIKA!"

"Ah, yes you too Pikachu!" We all laughed at Prf. Oak. "Come on in you two, I have something to give to you Trixie."

Her eye's scanned the rooms with amazement as we stepped into the lab. We stopped by the computer desks when she noticed something. She crawled onto one of the office chairs and pointed to a poster. "Ashie!" She gasped with amazement. "What are these!" I smiled and walked over with my hands in my pockets.

"Those my dear sis...are the Pokémon found in the areas around here."

"How many can you find around here?"

"Uh...around 150...but there's a lot more now."

"Why do some of them have blue circles and green crosses across them?"

"Uhh...I don't know..."

"I'll tell ya." I turned around to the new voice. A young teenager in a green top and lab coat. I couldn't see his face as he was carrying a box.

"Tracey!"

"Hey Ash! Blue means the ones Ash has caught and green means his released them."

"Ash you told me you were going to catch 'em all."

"So?"

"Doesn't seen like a lot."

Tracey held back a laugh. "You should see the poster we had for Gary..."

"Hey!" I yelled.

Tracey's azurmaril popped up from the box. "When those two were younger they were always in competition with each other. The day Ash started training the Professor kept track on how the two of them were doing by the posters. Ah, by the way I'm Tracey a Pokémon sketcher." He held out a hand for her to shake which she did.

"Hi Tracey!"

"Tracey what did the Professor call us here for?"

"Your sister."

Tracey laughed at my confused face. I was about to reply when the said Professor came in holding a Pokédex and a standard issue Pokébelt with seven Pokéballs. I noticed that the Pokédex looked a lot like Dexter, my original Pokédex rather than a slimmer generation of Pokédex that were out. Trixie turned around from the poster but remained in the chair.

"Anyone who becomes a Pokémon Trainer needs to start out with these..." He proceeded to give the introduction speech to her and to my surprise handed me the belt and Pokédex. "Well someone has to show her the ropes, and you are her brother aren't you Ashy boy?" He whispered to me answering my thoughts. Trixie watching us with confusion. I nodded and made my way to her. I showed her how to secure belt to her waist and how to use the Pokédex. She wanted to test it out straight away to see if it worked so asked it for information on Pikachu. The machine did as it was told and showed a picture of a Pikachu along with a stat screen.

"Ash when you two are done could you help feed the Pokémon in the nursery? I have to ready the fresh batch of starter Pokémon and I'm sure you'd rather have that job than helping Tracey clean!"

I laughed and grabbed Trixie's hand and led her to the small pen outside in the garden out back. Young baby Pokémon of various kinds were learning how to take their first steps or to fly.

"You see how they all act different?"

"Different?"

"Yeah, like that baby Caterpie is shy of us where as that Oddish right there is trying to climb up your leg!"

She flinched then looked down to see a baby Oddish asking to be picked up. Trixie smiled in delight. "Each Pokémon have their own different personality - like people!" I continued. She grinned then kept on cuddling all the Pokémon, she insisted to hug each and every one of them. I noticed it was getting warmer, which meant it was getting near to evening and we had to get home.

(A/N: Bold is Trixie, italics is Ash, underlined is both.)

"We were strangers

Starting out on a journey

Never dreaming

What we'd have to go through..." Trixie thought about her time with Team Rocket and where she was now... I thought about my first fight with mom.

"Now here we are

And I'm suddenly standing

At the beginning with you." I stood by her side.

"No one told me

I was going to find you

Unexpected.

What you did to my heart." I said referencing to the rainy night in the forest when I unexpectedly ran into her and she screamed, scaring the living daylights out of me. I remembered when I showed her the picture of mom and me.

"When I lost hope, you were there to remind me

This is the start..."

"And...

Life is a road

And I want to keep going

Love is a river, I wanna keep flowing

Life is a road, now and forever

Wonderful journey

I'll be there when the world stops turning

I'll be there when the storm is through

In the end I wanna be standing

At the beginning with you."

"We were strangers

On a crazy adventure." I will never forget the day when I still didn't know who Trixie was but I showed her Charizard and the Pokémon in Virdian forest.

"Never dreaming

How our dreams would come true."

"Now here we stand...Unafraid of the future

At the beginning with you." I started to lead her inside the house where mom was cleaning up.

"And...

Life is a road

And I want to keep going

Love is a river, I wanna keep flowing

Life is a road, now and forever

Wonderful journey

I'll be there when the world stops turning

I'll be there when the storm is through

In the end I wanna be standing

At the beginning with you

I knew there was somebody somewhere

Like me alone, in the dark

Now I know my dream will live on

I've been waiting so long

Nothings gonna tear us apart

And..."

I sat down on the green sofa and waited for my sister. Mom told me that from now on I'd would teach her how to read and write from the collection of books in her room. I told her that the books belonged to mom and used to read them to me the same way I read to her now.

"Life is a road

And I want to keep going

Love is a river, I wanna keep flowing

Life is a road, now and forever

Wonderful journey

I'll be there when the world stops turning

I'll be there when the storm is through

In the end I wanna be standing

At the beginning with you."

I remembered the night's in the cave when she'd cuddle up with Dragonite when it was cold but during a storm there was lightning and I had to calm her down.

"Life is a road and I wanna keep going

Love is a river I wanna keep going on..."

"Starting out on a journey~"

"Life is a road and I wanna keep going

Love is river I wanna keep flowing

In the end I wanna be standing

At the beginning with you..."

I closed the book and looked at her."Well as your older brother I feel like I have to warn you about something very important..."

"And that is?"

"Guy's are only after two things."

"I thought they were only after one thing?"

"Well, yeah, but they wanna do it more than once!"

She paused then looked at me. "Well then if they try anything I'll kick them and send the to the underworld!" She said playfully punching me on the shoulder we both laughed. She grabbed the book from my hands and ran upstairs to her room, Pikachu following her by her feet, but not before...

"Hey Ash?"

"Hmm?"

"What did MewTwo say...y'know when..."

I knew she was indicating to the 'event'. After I collapsed MewTwo forced me to wake up and spoke to me.

"Aww, you know...random things about looking after you and stuff!" I laughed with my hand behind my head. Trixie seemed to buy this and continued to go to her room.

I can't tell her MewTwo said there'll be more danger soon...

Mom appeared from behind me, a drying towel in her hands.

"You two seem to be getting along fine." She smiled.

"Hmmm..."

"What's wrong?"

"My pillow was cold today..."

"And?"

"I think Pikachu was in her room...I'm worried that she's too afraid to sleep on her own."

"There was thunder rumbling in the morning so I think she's afraid of that...you know when you were little you were afraid of it too, ever since Gary told you the noise was made by a really angry Zapdos that was going to fly you away to Thunder Mountain..."

"MOM! I was not scared!"

She only giggled in response.

"Anyway about Trixie...maybe we should give her a toy or something to cuddle with? Girls like Chancey dolls don't they?"

Delia gave her son a look. "I already did..."

No-way, she's not the type to play with dolls...

I was about to respond when Trixie came flying down the stairs.

"It's true! It's true!" She shouted gleefully before collapsing into her mothers arms. I pouted and crossed my arms across my chest.

"What's so good about Chansey?" She gave me a look.

"My Princess Chansey has a medical degree. When she isn't saving the lives of humans, or at the Ponyta stables, she's cooking top-class dinners at her favourite restaurant and saving the lives of Pokémon everywhere!" She said seriously. I was left dumbstruck. (A/N: Can you guess which real life doll I'm ripping off here?)

"How are we related again?" I said. She looked at me strangely.

"Well because we both came from mom?" I dropped my arms.

"Well thank you Captain Obvious (!)" She smirked at me.

"Your welcome Lieutenant Sarcasm (!)"

I was left dumbstruck as she left to go outside to the back garden.

"Hey wait why are you Captain? I'm older!" I shouted as I ran after her.

She laughed. "Your not that smart are you Ashie?" I looked at her after catching my breath.

"Actually I am quite smart, I've read books!"

"Looking at their covers doesn't count Ashie!"

"What happened to my loving sister?"

"I had my soul removed to make room for sarcasm...I've never regretted it..."

She ended by grabbing my cap and running around the garden. Delia smiled at the sight of me chasing after her.

"Don't take to long outside! You two still have a bedtime!" She yelled from outside the window.

Trixie's Pov:

I kept on running until I ran into what seemed like a forested area.

"Pika?"

"Ah Pikachu you followed me?"

"Pi."

"I think were lost..." I admitted half-heartedly. Pikachu tried turning me towards the way back when I figured out something. The aroma of tulips waved through my nose. "Wait a sec..." I stepped towards the trees, disregarding the way Pikachu was trying to pull my leg back. That's when I noticed the familiar shadow leaning on a tree. It was primarily black but wearing a white shirt with ruffles and had blonde hair twisted with princess curls.

"Domino!"

She smiled and gave me a Ursaring hug.

"Hey there Kiddo!"

"Your okay!"

"Takes a lot more than that to keep me down."

An awkward silence came after that.

"You look like your having fun..."

"Huh?"

"I was watching you...but I can tell your still worried. You have to learn that you can trust this guy, like you learned to trust me...The worlds going to be filled with people you have to make choices about."

"I know...it's going to be dangerous..."

"It'll be okay if you stay together. You are going to travel around when your ready aren't you?"

"I'm not sure, the world does seem like a dangerous place..."

"That's not like you...wait did someone threaten you? (A/N: Following line is from - Seasons of Love: Summertime Love Chp 29 - Anime-Queen-2011) "How bad do you want me to beat them? I have seven settings: whip, purée, crumb, chop, grate, blend, and liquefy." She said scarily at the last word.

"It's not anyone in particular, Sis..." She said sounding upset near the end. Domino noticed this and raised a hand to her shoulder.

"What's wrong?"

She didn't respond at first.

"On Earth, we may have advanced in the arts, sciences, medicines, and technologies, but people are still the worst factor up there...Human greed leads to corruption of businesses, environmental devastation, and even the extinction of many Pokémon. Our fear and hatred of other people have caused numerous wars, even to the point where some of history's most deranged people have nearly caused the extinction of a whole race of people. At times, our wars were so massive, that at two separate times, the world was caught up in war. Our violent tendencies forces us to use war on our fellow people, and with horrifying weapons that not even Arceus's power could protect us from..." (A/N: That speech was from a Spider Rider Fanfic - The Word With You by TRUE Unknown.)

There was a panged silence.

"...I just can't help but think that Team Rocket caused so many people to be so upset and..." She trailed off, looking at the floor instead.

"That's true." Trixie looked up at her surprised.

"Huh?"

"That's true, well the first bit...the world's a terrible place...but ask yourself this..." She paused. "Are you an evil Team Rocketter?"

She was surprised to say the least. But she thought about it.

'Team Rocket is in your blood after all...'

That's what Giovanni said on...that day."

"...No..."Domino smiled and lifted her hand's of Trixie's shoulders. "No I'm not. I'm not evil." Concern appeared back onto Domino's face. "I'm not."

She grabbed the younger girls face to her chest as Trixie repeated the same words over and over again.

"Kiddo..." Domino gently stroked her black hair.

'It's okay to cry...'

Trixie remembered Ash's words.

"Well Kid, I doubt you measure danger the way I do!" Trixie smirked at her. "And if I recall you can just that hot temper of yours! You are naturally aggressive!"

"Naturally aggressive? Heck no! I'm just genetically destructive!"

She blinked then burst out into laughter. I joined in as well.

"Hey...Domino?"

"Hmm?"

"This is goodbye isn't it?"

She sighed then got down to my eye level. "Nah...it's just until next time."

"So we will see each other again?"

"I promise."

We hugged each-other for what felt like hours. She let of me and started to walk densely into the forest. She stopped and gave me a look. "Kiddo..." I waited. "I'll be waiting for you on your journey, so don't let me down, if you don't make a great Pokémon trainer then I'll have to beat you up you hear?"

I giggled. "But where will you be? Where will you go now?"

She smiled then raised both arms in the air. "I'm free now! Free to do whatever I want! I'm off to explore the world." I smiled and gave her a small, silent wave. She didn't see this however as she had already turned around.

And with that she disappeared into the darkness. Pikachu nugged my leg.

"Oh right Ash!" Pikachu showed me the way in the now moonlit sky. I noticed the shadow of Ash, he was kneeling by the pond. I grinned, waiting until he was looking the other way then pushed him in the water. He swam to the she bank coughing and shouting to me along the way.

"Hey!"

I couldn't help but keep the laughter out of my voice. "I'm s-sorry Ashie, but you better hurry up on inside before you catch a cold!"

We were all cuddled up on the sofa, mom in the middle with Ash's head on her lap and me with my head on her shoulder. Mr. Mime covered a blanket over us. Ash looked like he was nodding off already.

"His hairs still quite a bit damp." Mom muttered. "I let this one go, but I'll warn you, no pushing by the pond!"

"Sorry...mom?"

She looked at me then kissed me on the forehead. "I love you, you know that right?" I nodded. "Then why are you crying?" I froze then rubbed my eyes. Pikachu crawled up and rubbed his face on mine. Drying up my tears with his thin fur.

"Its...s'kay to cry..." Ash mumbled in half sleep.

Mom hugged me awkwardly with one arm. I noticed a tear falling down her face as well. "Now get yourselves to bed you two." She replied giving us both a kiss after pushing Ash off. He was to tired to complain.

We both went to our bedrooms. However when in the middle of the night I couldn't fall asleep. I noticed Pikachu wasn't with me no-more. I slowly got out of bed and looked across the room. The window showed a view of the bright crescent moon, the rest of my room looked pale and lonely. Shadows stretched across the floor and walls in an odd way. I removed the blanket from me and made my way to the door which opened silently with no creak. The hallway was empty, I stood still for a minute, letting the cold sensation of the floorboards rise through my toes. I could hear Ashies snoring from his room and probably Pikachu's as well I made my way to the room I wanted to be in and slept peacefully throughout the rest of the night.

Sunlight hit Delia's room indicating the break of dawn. She covered her eyes with her arm and was about to stretch when she felt someone holding her. She turned around and saw the face of her sleeping daughter. She smiled and held her tightly.

"Trixie Destiny Ketchum..." She smelt her daughters hair, just like the day she was born and held her tightly to her chest. "Looks like Ash did find you Destiny..."The door opened with a creak.

"Morning mom..." Ash appeared in the doorway rubbing the sleep from his eyes. Pikachu was on his shoulder doing the same thing. "Mr. Mimes up..."

"I better help Mimey with the breakfast." She said whilst regretfully waking Trixie up.

After breakfast (Which was my first time having pancakes!) Ash took me to the pond in the backyard.

"So what will be doing now?"

"What do you mean Ashie?"

"After my small break from travelling I'm planning to head off again...I've set my sights to this new island called Isshu. Apparently there's new generations of Pokémon there that I want to catch."

"Shouldn't you be trying to catch all the Pokémon in Kanto first then catch all of the others in the rest of the areas?" He replied by tussling my hair. I looked up at the sky, my eyes catching the sight of a flock of Pidgey's in the air. "I don't know...I want to become a Pokémon Master but I think I'm not ready right now...I guess I'll explore the world safely with you when I'm ready but right now I want to stay here at home with mom..." Ash smiled at me. My eye caught the site of something else. "No way!.."

"What?" Ash looked for what I was looking at in the air. "Is that?"

A giant yellowy, orange creature was flying through the air. "Dragonite!" I waved my arms franticly in the air like I was homing down an aeroplane. Dragonite roared in response but continued to fly off in the clouds. My guess is as good as yours two where he was going... I felt a sudden surge of happiness flood through me as I spun around the garden, watching the way the sun hit the sky and our house with Mom and Mimey humming a tune whilst washing the dishes. Pikachu jumped from Ashies shoulders to mine as I spun him around as well Ash chased us around laughing all the way.

Across the valley

Over the hills

From a bad spell

Look at me now

A normal girl

To the best Pokémon master in the world

My dream has come true

I always wanted to be a Pokémon trainer

But I got more than that. (But I got more than that)

I have a chance to fight

I'm not just all unright!

Ash is just as good as me! (As good as me!)

It's just a shame however...that none of noticed that in the forest, where the daylight still hadn't hit the trees, a shadowy figure with a malicious grin stood watching the twins with a blood dripping down his forehead...

...A figure with a burnt orange suit...

THE END OF ASH KETCHUM: I'VE FOUND MY DESTINY, MY OTHER HALF.

(A/N: WOO! Word count for this chapter is 6704! Sorry it took longer than expected you guys but half the document was erased so I had to type it again from memory. The original was much better in my opinion...

The mallet Misty uses is in fact the one from the animé. Although she carries a mini version of it now.

I have to admit I just ditched Dawn from this chapter, at least I made up that she took a ferry home but let's face it...I'd rather have her be eaten alive by a gang of Fearows...Hey I'd start watching Pokémon again if they did!

And about that cliff-hanger...Yeah...

My dear readers would I ever leave a story on a cliff-hanger?

You: No just leave us stranded on Mount Everest...

Me: Aha! Wrong! Those were CHAPTERS! At the end of Finding Your True Destiny, Your Other Half, I granted you with this story, a sequel.

You: Wait that means...

Please READ AND REVIEW people! I worked hard on this and don't forget, I can tell when someone puts me on their alerts or faves a story and don't review!

Oh and about the 'purging war' on FF, even if I was active last month, I wouldn't have taken part as I think deep down we all know the admins are just trying to keep FF clean. Listen to the rules people!

I love the section below with the huge box that says read and review! I hope it encourages you to do so! (But I hate the new text layout of the site, the fonts way too hard to read!)
