I do not own Pokémon

Chapter 1

Ash Ketchum sighed to himself. In a few days he would be competing in the Unova League in this very town. He didn't really know what to make of it. It only seemed like yesterday where he'd dreamt of one day achieving status as one of the best Pokémon master's out there and now it would seem like his dream was drawing ever closer. He looked outside the window of the motel he and his friend would be staying in for the duration of the League, Iris and Cilan were in their own respective rooms. It was late at night. He thought about his longtime friend and companion Pikachu. Where he would meet and part ways with friends Pikachu stayed. He remembered those days with Misty and May, both of which advised him to put Pikachu in a pokeball but he would always refuse. Although he cared about all his Pokémon, Pikachu had a special place in his heart. They have been through so much for Ash not to think of their relationship as anything else but true friendship. He left the little guy in the back yard of the motel because Pikachu refused to come inside. "Probably because of all the girls after him" Ash thought amusedly, girls seemed to love the little fur ball and rightfully so, Pikachu was too cute for its own good it seemed. He didn't worry about Pikachu getting kidnapped because it wasn't the only Pokémon in the yard and if the likes of Team Rocket wanted to try their luck then they were in for a rude awakening.

"Wonder what Pikachu's up too this late?" Ash thought amusedly. He wasn't going to delude himself into thinking Pikachu was sleeping right now. He was most probably playing with the other Pokémon that Ash released from their balls earlier.

Pikachu wasn't in the back yard as Ash predicted however and was heading deep into a forest that was nearby the motel. It actually did start off as Pikachu playing with all the other Pokémon at first but then Pikachu heard a noise that no other Pokémon there did. It felt like something was calling out to Pikachu and so the journey to discover the anomaly began. Pikachu entered a clearing in the forest and saw a surprising sight. It was a little girl with long platinum blonde hair and a beautiful face but she wasn't wearing anything. She looked no older than 4 or 5. She was sleeping but also crying and speaking a language that Pikachu didn't know and her crying made her words muffled and difficult to understand. The ground around the girl looked like it was scorched from all the black grass and the smell of smoke being emitted there. Pikachu didn't know what to do first, help the girl now or run for help? Then the noise from earlier came again. A sphere of white light suddenly rose from behind the child and before Pikachu could think about it the sphere of light shot straight at Pikachu. Pikachu wasn't even allowed time to panic before everything went white.

"Mommy... Mommy!" came the voice of a frightened little girl.

Pikachu opened its eyes slowly and sleepily. It felt as if its head was being attacked by a thousand onyxs.

"Mommy!" the girl called again.

"Mo-mmy?" Pikachu rasped in a feminine voice then its eyes shot open. It wasn't supposed to be able to speak English.

The girl gasped and then hugged Pikachu screaming "Mommy!" happily.

Pikachu got up into a sitting position with the girl still clinging to it and realized that the ground seemed much further than before. Pikachu's head was spinning. What happened? All it could remember was a blinding light and then darkness. Pikachu looked down intending on getting a glimpse of the girl but got a surprise instead. All its fur was gone and in its place was human pale skin. Pikachu took notice of all its differences. It had human parts! It had two hands with fingers instead of paws, two feet with tows, and these two mounds on its chest that it noticed looked similar to the ones all the girls Ash met liked to cover. What the heck was this? Then it noticed a few strands of blonde her in front of its face and its hand shot up to its head. It felt soft and smooth material and immediately realized that it was hair on its head. Pikachu was having something close to a panic attack now. This couldn't be happening! How on earth did it turn into a female human? Pikachu had never really focused on its gender when it was a Pokémon because there was no need to, all Pokémon where treated equally. Professor Oak did refer to it as a female once but that was the end of that, he never told anyone else. Ash most probably still thought of it as a male which would be understandable considering male and female Pokémon looked alike.

"Mommy are you ok?" spoke the girl and Pikachu was reminded of another problem.

"He-llo" Pikachu said with difficulty and concentration, deciding to test out her new tongue.

The girl gave her a confused look then said "Mommy you don't sound good."

Pikachu had to keep calm. She needed to figure out what exactly was going on around here and having the girl cry over her wasn't going to help " I'm fine" she said a lot more clearly.

The girl brightened at this then asked "What happened Mommy? I can't remember."

Why did she keep calling her Mommy? Pikachu voiced this out "Why do you keep calling me Mommy?" Pikachu asked adjusting to her knew vocal cords.

The girl gave her another confused look then replied" Because you're my Mommy" the girl said.

Ok this was going nowhere and Pikachu knew it. Then they both heard church bells in the distance meaning it was most probably noon and Ash was probably searching for her.

"What is that?" the girl asked indicating to the noise of the bells but Pikachu wasn't listening.

She was worried now. She couldn't be seen like this, especially considering the fact humans didn't walk around naked. She needed to find clothes for the girl and herself then make her way back to Ash. She was lucky no one had discovered them yet or at least that's what she hoped.

"Mommy" the girl cut through her thoughts with a frown.

"I need to look for some clothes then I'll be right back. You need to hide so I can go ok?" Pikachu said.

The girl frowned again but nodded and hid in some bushes. Pikachu was unsure if her new body would respond to her in the way her old body did. She got up shakily on two legs. They felt very weak and she did topple over a few times but she was determined to see this through. She was used to walking on all fours but she didn't want to draw too much attention to herself by walking on her hands and knees in town. Pikachu got up and started taking steps to adjust to her knew body weight and equilibrium. It started off shakily at first but she was soon getting the hang of things. She could see the girl in the bushes keeping an eye on her and wincing every time she tumbled or fell. She gradually progressed until she could walk acceptably. From there she told the girl to keep hidden so as not to be discovered then left the scene. Pikachu made her way back to town carefully so she wouldn't trip on her feet or be discovered. Ok she needed to get clothes and the only place for that was "Aster's Clothing line". She needed to do this carefully so she hid in the bushes when she saw she was nearing her destination. She looked around to make sure no one was around the area. When it was clear she quickly made her way to the back entrance of the store. She knew exactly where to go because Iris took her here yesterday to shop for clothes, they were all for Iris. She snuck into the shop through the back entrance and quickly took two of the nearest dresses she was sure would fit her and her supposed daughter. She went into one of the changing rooms then tried the dress and it fit her perfectly in one go, Iris would be proud. Then she remembered she needed money for the two dresses and sighed. She made her to the front desk and saw the guy that was flirting with Iris yesterday, although Iris looked uninterested throughout the encounter. She didn't know what she was going to say but she couldn't stop walking. The guy noticed her and had an awestruck look as soon as he got a good look at her.

"Why hello Miss, Can I help you?" He said with a flirtatious grin.

"I-took these clothes- and no money- and Iris" Pikachu babbled.

"Wait you're a friend of Iris?" he asked shock.

Pikachu just nodded and shifted nervously.

"Then I'll give you the dresses for free if you put in a good word for me." The guy said with hope in his eyes, he must really like Iris.

Pikachu vehemently nodded to that with a surprised look on her face.

"Then I thank you for shopping at Aster's and enjoy your day." He grinned at her.

Pikachu made her way back into the forest and found the little girl hiding behind the same bush. When the little girl noticed her she ran to Pikachu shouting "Mommy" then hugged her.

Pikachu smiled down at her. The girl was very cute with that innocent face and those big brown eyes.

"I got you a dress." Pikachu said revealing the dress.

The girl looked confusedly at it and Pikachu had to assist her in putting it on. Pikachu then straightened the girl's hair and wiped her face using her saliva earning a disgusted face from the girl.

"You look pretty" Pikachu said after giving her a once over.

"Thank you Mommy" the girl smiled at her and Pikachu smiled back.

Pikachu hadn't forgetting the situation at hand however. She needed to figure out what's really going on here and who this girl was but she needed to find Ash first. How will he take in her new appearance? Will her new look scare him away? All these question were racing through her mind she was a bit worried but Pikachu did know one thing. Ash was going to have a field day with this.
