Chapter One

He was quiet as he lay in the tall grass, the tall blades made the ground soft
and even though the dirt was still moist from yesterdays rain, the grass shielded
him from the harsh wetness of the ground.

It was a cold night and the wind blew blades of grass around his face. The cold
air didn't chill him because the beginnings of spring were becoming apparent to
him.

He could hear the soft "pika" of his best friend, and a slightly worried sound.
Its trainer was not moving or running around as he usually did, which really
worried the electric mouse.

The hyperactive boy was quiet, and that only happened when he was sick.

Pikachu found him laying on the ground, staring up at the sky.

The boy stretched and sat up as soon as he saw his friend, disregarding the few
blades of grass that had stuck to his hair.

"Hey..." he forced himself to say with fake cheer. "How's it going?"

Pikachu grinned when it saw that its trainer was okay. He was probably just
resting or thinking about the next battle.

Ash sighed as he stared up at the sky, feeling homesick and lonely.

Brock and Misty were on a date.

Together.

Even though he had told her how he felt, she had tried to let him down gently,
even though it didn't matter. The only important part was the fact that she had
rejected him.

"It's just his first crush," he heard Misty say, trying to convince herself that
he was alright. Her voice still had worry in it, and she obviously didn't sound
as calm as she wanted to sound.

Brock also looked concerned but he didn't go after him when Ash had run away so
his friends wouldn't see him cry.

"Maybe when you get older..." the words repeated in Ash's head, "..A girl your
age..." He hated those words. He hated being younger than Misty. It
wasn't fair!

Tears came easily, pouring down his cheeks.

Then he fell into the soft grass, suddenly ceasing his crying, and he just stared
at the dark blue sky.

Brock and Misty came back, both laughing and flirting together. Their voices
seemed to mix and intermingle as they talked and told inside jokes that only
they could understand.

The air seemed to grow colder as he felt sick to his stomach.

"How was your day?" Misty asked, in a good mood.

He looked up at her and felt his eyes becoming moist as he quickly looked away.

"Great.." he said quietly, even though he wanted to scream the opposite.

Brock walked up to him and put a hand on his shoulder. It was not a patronizing
gesture, only one of truce and understanding.

Ash understood, but the hand still felt offensive to him.

He pushed the hand away, but he instantly looked up at his friend for forgiveness
a slight nod, anything.

Nothing.

He felt his eyes starting to tear up again.

"It's okay..." Brock said, smiling.

Ash didn't say anything, he only nodded in acknowledgement.

He still felt cold as the couple left him alone.

+++

Ash had lost the match for the badge.

It was an easy match. He knew he could have easily won.

His friends knew as well. He could tell by the shocked expressions on their
faces.

"We can try tomorrow.." Misty said a little cautiously with false cheer.

"Maybe.." he said, shrugging. His face felt hot form the emotions he was trying
to keep under control.

His friends said nothing else.

A part of him wished they would see something was wrong, and that he could cry
and tell them everything.

But he knew that wouldn't happen. They were too afraid, and he was sure that they
didn't want to hear everything, because they knew exactly what was wrong.

+++

Washu grinned when she put the finishing touches on her invention. It wasn't
completely new. She was merely modifying the invention she had used to send
Tenchi back in time, when Kain had threatened his mother, Achika.

When Washu had finished, she stepped back to admire her work. It was another
finished product from the most brilliant mind in the galaxy! All she had to do
was test it for the final time.

+++

"Maybe we should stop for a rest," Brock suggested, looking at Ash.

"Togepi does need a nap..." Misty agreed, noticing that the egg pokemon was
getting cranky.

"Okay..." Ash agreed, feeling more tired than usual as he flopped down on the
ground, leaning against a tree.

Brock and Misty looked surprised about how exhausted Ash sounded, but they didn't
say anything about it. They knew that Ash would just deny everything.

"Ash, why don't we let our pokemon out, they haven't been out in awhile." Misty
suggested, trying to sound cheerful.

"'kay.." Ash mumbled in agreement as he took out all his pokeballs, releasing all
his pokemon. Pikachu smiled happily when all his friends were released.

Ash let out a small smile as Totodile danced around Pikachu happily.

Washu decided to pinpoint a larger plant specimen from the other dimensional axis
that she had been focusing on with her previous tests.

A few of the smaller plant samples looked similar to the ones in this
dimension, and she wanted to be certain that no harm would come from sending any
foreign plants in. She didn't want to try any animal life yet, because it was
difficult to send the plants back from where they came from without the machine
breaking.

Washu pressed a few buttons, scanning the area where she wanted to extract the
sample.

She grinned and pressed the last button when she received the exact coordinates
of the large plant specimen.

+++

Brock stretched out his arms and yawned comically, making Misty giggle, while he
gave her a sly smile.

Ash quickly looked away, trying to concentrate on his pokemon.

Misty sighed when she saw Ash suddenly turning his head away.

"Ash-" Misty started, sounding annoyed and sad at the same time.

Misty's heart nearly stopped when she saw Ash and the tree he had been leaning
against disappear.

Brock was confused at the sudden silence from Misty, and he turned to her.
"Misty..what's...?"

Misty just opened and closed her mouth over and over. She pointed a shaking
finger at the empty space that Ash just occupied.

Brock's eyes widened. "Where's Ash?" he asked, in a scared and confused voice.

Misty only let out a long scream in response.
