Barely conscious, Ash could hear the sound of waves. As he slowly regained consciousness, he opened his eyes and saw that he had been washed up on an empty beach.

Ash tried to stand up, but felt a sharp pain shoot through his right leg. Overwhelmed by the pain, he collapsed and started to fall back into unconsciousness. Right before he completely lost consciousness, he felt himself being dragged across the beach.

When Ash finally regained consciousness again, he realized that the pain in his leg was gone. In fact he felt completely at ease, as though all his troubles had just disappeared. Ash thought he heard a voice shouting to him, but the voice sounded so distant. "Ash!" the voice said, "wake up!"

Ash opened his eyes and saw a familiar face. "Welcome home sweetie." Ash's mom said with a smile.

"Wait," Ash said, "I'm... home?"

"Why of course dear," Ash's mom replied warmly, "don't you remember?"

After a moment, Ash shook his head, and his mother continued, "right after you won the Kalos Pokémon League and became the champion, you and Serena came right back here to celebrate."

"We did?" Ash asked, trying to hide his confusion.

"

Yes. By the time you got back here, though, you were exhausted." His mother replied.

"So," Ash asked, "where is Serena?"

"She's downstairs," Ash's mother said, "she's helping me cook a celebratoty feast."

"Really?!" Ash said happily.

"If you think you're rested enough, maybe you could go down and see her."

"Okay," Ash said, getting out of his bed, "if you think it's alright."

"Of course, dear!"

With that, Ash headed downstairs.
