Welcome boys and girls to chapter 29 the one that will go down in history as the time the shit finally hit the fan after two long years of this fic. To make up for my long updates he's a quick update on Christmas too! Consider it my Christmas gift to you guys. Oh and I had planned to post this on Christmas but my internet hasn't been working so yeah forgive it for being a couple days late

May's voice echoed through the room, his name had been said, yet no one could actually believe that the name matched the face.

"Are you really..." Brock's voiced trailed off.

Ash looked at his old pervert of what was once his friend and nodded his head.

As soon as he did he could hear footsteps race towards him and he didn't have to think to hard who it was as her arms wrapped around him and her brunette hair flew across her face.

Ash remained emotionless as he could hear now the chocked cries coming from May, "I'm so sorry," she cried out in between her hysterical crying.

Turning her attention away from her he looked up at his group of former friends, they all had the biggest smiles on their faces but also a bit of remorse. Though they couldn't be more happy that their friend was alive, they also remembered what had happened the last time they saw him three years ago.

"Let go May," Ash said with no emotion. Following his orders she released him and stood there wiping the tears away as the entire group surrounded the table.

Ash looked at them as they waited to hear him speak and so he cleared his throat and did, "A day doesn't go by when I don't think about what happened three years ago, the day you all turned your back on me and left me to die." By the time he stopped speaking the amount of emotion in his voice was easily notable and the hatred still lingering there.

"If you expected this to be some happy reunion where we all put the past behind us then sorry you've been mistaken," Ash said with a fire in his eyes, "Funny the group that cost me the most trouble ended up being the only one I could trust."

Their eyes darted to the ground hearing that as the guilt rose in them, "We didn't know what we were thinking," Brock solemnly said.

"It's just that Drew's plan was so convincing," Max blurted out.

A laugh came from Ash, "Obviously seeing as how the people I thought I could trust ate it up like a hungry snorlax."

"We tried looking for you," Gary cried out.

"But we thought that those charred remains belonged to you," Misty said finishing their excuses.

Ash chuckled to himself as he spoke, "I know, I didn't want anything to do with any of you."

A shock ran across May's face, "You mean you set it up?"

"Team Rocket did but I helped, just got one of their useless grunts to play dummy although adding that useless ribbon to the body was my idea," Ash said somewhat proud of his work.

"That's someone's life you ended!" Max almost yelled out. "Where's your remorse, compassion?"

For the first time Ash stood up and walked straight up to Max looking him dead in the eye, "The last thing that you or anybody else here should be doing is judging my actions. When you're alone in this world and you hit rock bottom, then you can come and say what you want but for now you better keep your damn opinions to yourself."
