2 years. That's how long it'd been since the world lost Ash Ketchum. His death had wrecked his friends emotionally, especially May Maple. With Ash gone, May felt as if her life no longer had meaning. And the worst part is, she never got to tell him...

"May."
May's heart dropped as she heard her name be called from behind her, deeper in the backyard.
It wasn't so much that her name had been said, it was more what the voice saying her name sounded like it belonged to...
May refused to look at the source of the voice, knowing that there was no possible way he was there. Her grief was causing her mind to play tricks on her, that's all. It wouldn't be the first time that'd happened.
...
...
"May, please look at me."
The person said, once again in Ash's distinct and unmistakable voice. May was becoming frustrated at her mind for making this illusion seem so real. It was killing her.
...
...
"May...it's me. I'm here."
Finally, May stood to her feet and turned to face the source of the voice so that she could scream at the person. She'd concluded that someone must've been playing a prank on her as the voice was definitely not just in her head, and that infuriated her to no end.
But before she could say anything, May's eyes finally fell on the man who'd been speaking to her. Immediately, her breathing hitched and her eyes widened. She then began breathing rapidly, her heart pounding a mile a minute.
He was there.
He was actually there.
Ash was standing in the gazebo, smiling that goofy smile she'd missed so dearly right at her.
May couldn't speak. She couldn't move. It was as if her brain had completely shut off. She literally couldn't believe it. There was no way that he was here... It was impossible...
Noticing that May was frozen, Ash simply chuckled and continued to look her way. "Hi, May... You have no idea how good it is to see you again."
Ash had never been happier than he was in this moment. Not only could he see May, but she could see him as well.
After almost 30 seconds of silence and shock had passed, May threw any and all skepticism she still had away and ran to Ash. She didn't care if this was an illusion or some dream, not anymore. All she knew was that it appeared that Ash was there with her, and that was all that mattered. The only fear that still remained in her mind was that he would disappear as soon as she tried to touch him, that it really was just her mind playing a cruel trick on her.
