What's up guys and welcome to another chapter of The Betrayed Champion with none other than yours truly. I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who reviewed last chapter and especially those who informed me how long they had been around for it was nice to see how long people have actually stuck around for and how I was even proven wrong. Anyway I hope you like this chapter as this two and a half year long journey is coming to a close soon.

Disclaimer: I now own Digimon and Pokemon and pokemon can now de-evolve and talk and whatever the hell else Digimon did differently as I haven't seen that show since I was a kid.

Ash's eyes fluttered open. He didn't know what he was looking at as everything was blurry to him but what he did know was that he was immensely sore. He lifted his arm quickly to go and rub the blur away but the shock of pain he got from it instantly put his hand back to his side.

Blinking his eyes some more he finally got back his clear vision and saw he was in a dull hospital room. The walls were a blank canvas of white as the few uninteresting pictures hung on them were the only things that gave it a bit of character. Slowly turning his head to the side he saw the machine that was attached to him, checking his pulse and supplying him the nutrients he needed during his slumber.

Feeling comfortable he smiled and closed his eyes again for a bit more sleep until he remembered the last image in his mind before he passed out.

"Giovanni!" Ash yelled as he pushed his body up, a decision he quickly regretted as the pain of another sudden movement made him almost scream in pain.

"You know the nurses told me to tell you when you wake up to not move too quickly," a voice from the shadows said, "I told them that you weren't stupid enough to do that, but now you just proved me wrong twice."

Ash rolled his eyes at the familiarity of the voice, "You know usually I'm annoyed by your voice, but hearing it now means we won, huh?"

Paul stepped out of the shadows and stood to the side of Ash, "If by won, you mean completely annihilated the biggest crime group in all of Kanto and Johto, then yes. We did."

"I like your phrasing of it better," Ash complimented as he moved his hand slowly to the bandages that covered most of his face. "How long was I out?"

"About a month," Paul causally said.

Ash looked bewildered at his response, "A month!? Damn, I guess Giovanni did more damage to me than I anticipated."

Paul took one look at Ash and nodded his head in agreement, "That's what happens when you tell us that you didn't need back up and that you had a secret weapon. If you had told me that those three imbeciles were your ace in the hole I would have gone in there and kicked Giovanni's ass myself."

"And feed your giant ego even more? I couldn't let that happen," Ash jokingly replied, "besides, it worked didn't it?"

"Barely," Paul remarked, "Meowth was damn near dead when we found him stood upon that Persian and Jesse and James managed to barely handle Biff and Cassidy."

Ash silently laughed happily at the thought of the former Team Rocket trio finally coming out on top. "A win is a win in my book. So where is everybody else? Unless you're the only one who decided to show up for my great awakening?"

"And I'm the one with the big ego. Your little group decided that there should be someone with you at all times, so that when you wake up you have a familiar face to wake up to," Paul said acting annoyed at their plan.
