Sun rays beat down on our heroes as the day starts to become much too warm to continue traveling after getting lost in the woods. "How many wrong turns does that make Brock?" Ash groaned.

"Lost count," Brock sighed looking at the map.

"The Pokénav died too...we're going completely blind," Max added.

May was panting behind everyone clearly the most exhausted person of the group. She could bearly pick up her feet. "Can't we stop for the day? We aren't making any progress at all!" She complained.

Ash and May's stomachs growled. Ash laughed nervously. He scratched behind his head. "Guess I'm hungry," He continued to laugh.

"It is lunch time," May agreed.

Brock sighed and stopped walking. "I guess that settles it. Let's stop for the day," Brock said pulling out his 'drying pan. "Max could you help me set up?"

Max groaned, "Fine."

Ash and May thought that they had gotten off the hook when Brock said, "And you you two can go get fire wood."

Ash and May groaned and whined in unison, "Why us?!"

Brock just stared at them until they left. May blushed daydreaming of romantic fantasies between she and Ash. Ash simply stared at her wondering what she was doing. They went off to find firewood and started collecting. Ash spotted something strange in the distance. A yellow sphere floating in the distance. Ash pulled May from her fantasy and asked, "Hey May? What's that yellow orb?"

May blinked and stared. "I've never seen anything like it," She shrugged.

"I wanna touch it!" Ash exclaimed and walked over to it.

"Wait don't do that! That's a terrible-" May watched as he held it, "idea."

It began to shine bright in his hand until an enormous flash burst from it forcing May to cover her eyes. "WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?!" Ash screamed as it began to fade.

When the light faded the Orb had vanished and where Ash was standing there was now a Pikachu with Ash's hat.

"Man that stung!" Ashachu yelled before turning to May who was just staring at him, "What?"

"Um...look in my mirror," May said pulling it out.

"Is there something on my fa-" Ashachu saw his reflection and screamed.

May covered her ears. "I'm fine, I'm fine," he looked down at himself seeing his tail he screamed again and jumped into her arms.

"Calm down Ash! This could have been avoided if you had listned to me!"

Ashachu blushed in her arms feeling warm and fuzzy. He even began purring. Pikachu looked at him surprised. "(Is he purring? I didn't know we could do that.)" Pikachu stated.

May chuckled thinking this was adorable. "Hey, I can ride or YOUR shoulder now!" Ashachu said hopping up on her shoulder.

Something strange came over him and he pecked her on the cheek causing her to blush.
