Aurora is sitting quietly in her dark bedroom thinking. Delilah sits up in bed and wraps her arms around Aurora.

"You should get some sleep." Delilah says.

"I will. I just have something on my mind so its making it rather difficult to sleep." Aurora replies.

"I know how to take your mind off of things." Delilah whispers before kissing her deeply.

*****************************

Ash and Celebi are sitting in Celebi's lab.

"Ash, I have a question for you. Do you regret killing Shino?" Celebi asks.

Ash is quiet for several minutes before he finally answers.

"In a way I am but in another way I'm not. The entire time I have known him, no one has ever gotten the jump on Shino. He has always been one step ahead of everyone, but that night it was like he was waiting for me. Just before I shot him he had said something. I can't remember what he said and it is really bothering me." Ash replies.

"I'm sure you'll remember it sometime. I want you to not worry about what you did. Think of it as doing the world a favor. You removed a large criminal element from the general population. In all honesty I believe he was happy to know that you were the one that did it instead of some random jackass." Celebi says.

"I guess you're right. I do feel like it was a mistake looking around at all the people who actually loved him." Ash says.

"First of all the only ones who really loved him were the ones he considered family. Akurei and his siblings, Maurice and Guadalupe, Karen's father, and his pokemon. You, he had a lot of respect for and trust in even if he didn't always show it. Don't let what people say get to you. Just hold your head high. In my eyes and Akurei's you didn't do anything wrong. That day I told Shino what was to come, he smiled and said, "I am going to simply let nature take it's course." Which means he knew this was coming for awhile and didn't do anything to stop it." Celebi explains.

The night Ash shot Shino replays in Ash's mind and Ash finally hears what Shino says.

"Thank you? Thank you? He was thanking me?" Ash says confused.

"Yep. He was glad to go. He has been secretly wanting this since Karen died but, he wasn't going to just give up and die either. He needed someone to do it who had reason to do it. And you were that someone. You should feel proud that he chose you." Celebi says.

"But why not Maurice or Akurei?" Ash asks.

"They wouldn't of been able to go through with it. It had to be someone that was pissed off enough that killing Shino was the only retaliation possible. Which I why he never said anything about Jesse spending the night in his bed. He had to get you so pissed that you would go through with it." Celebi explains.

Ash sits there for over an hour just letting everything sink in. He looks up and is actually smiling.

"I think you finally get the picture. So don't let it bother you anymore. You did the world a huge favor and a favor for a good friend. Like I said earlier just hold your head high and don't let what people say bother you. Just never tell anyone about it. There are probably hundreds of thousands that would kill you in a heart beat." Celebi says.

"I will. Thanks Celebi. I feel much better now." Ash says and leaves.

"Well, Shino your little scheme worked and you are now with the one you loved." Celebi says looking up.

*****************************

"So the rumors were true." Mewtwo says standing next to Shino's grave.

"Wow." Mew says.

"So who pulled it off?" Mewtwo asks.

"In doesn't matter. We are under orders from Shino not to attack the person." Scizor says.

"I don't want to harm him. I want to shake his hand." Mew says.

"I am curious to see who it was." Mewtwo says.

"It would surprise you." Scizor replies.

"So it was him. I thought so." Mewtwo says.

"No surprise there." Mew adds.

"So what are you going to do now?" Scizor asks after several minutes.

"Nothing. I am going to go sleep for a very long time." Mewtwo says.

"I may travel around and be an elusive pokemon once more. Killing every pokemon that tries to attack me." Mew replies.

"What about you?" Mewtwo asks.

"I am going to stick around here and defend it till the day I die." Scizor replies.

Mewtwo nods and says, "If you need me you'll know where to find me." Mewtwo floats off into the darkness.

"Well, take it easy Scizor. We maybe seeing each other again." Mew says and shoots off into the sky.

*****************************

Over the course of the next week, everyone leaves Purgatory and returns home.

Ash and Jesse retrieve the safety deposit box and buy a nice size home near the Lake of Rage in Jhoto.

Aurora and her band, Elemental, never perform again.

Akurei and Gauntlet continue to tour for a few more years before finally calling it quits.

As for Scizor, he defends Shino's property for years. Over ten thousand people try and not a single one is heard from again.

Brandon, The Demon of West, was killed a couple years later, in a massive city wide gun fight. Autopsy reports say that well over a thousand bullets ripped his body to shreds.

As for Maurice, the Demon of the East, he was ran over by a Ford Pinto and died.

The other Maurice and Guadalupe ended up getting married but tragically died on the way to the reception when a Ford Pinto crashed into their limo and exploded.

Chief Tendo retires several years later and lives happily with his family.

When Karen's father returns home he is greeted by a young girl, about 6 years old.

"How was your trip, Grandpa?" She asks.

"It was alright. When you get older I will tell you all about the man known as Shinogami." He replies as they go back inside.

"Daddy?" She says.
