(A/N I thought it would make sense for me to differentiate between Ash's actions and the transformation's actions so I tried to do so.)
May was over all surprised and embarrassed at Ash's actions. But she thought it was rather cute at the same time. So she giggled. Ash on the other hand was simply goofing off, not a care in the world. "Hey Pikachu! Now I see why you like it on my shoulder!" Ashachu smiled while nuzzling his cheeks against hers.
Pikachu grinned at his trainers goofiness. Ashachu hugged May's face and suddenly hearts appeared above his head. Everyone seemed to notice it but him. "You feeling okay Ash?" May raised an eyebrow.
Ashachu continued to act this way and said, "Look at the pretty girl..."
May didn't know what to do and stood their confused. "Uh..." Was all that escaped her mouth.
"Can I stay with you? I love you!" Ashachu exclaimed.
This was where May drew the line. She normally would have been squealing with excitement, but couldn't comprehend what was going on. "Ash I think there's something wrong with you," She said.
Ashachu hopped off her shoulder and started twirling around, as if he was frollicing down the Yellow Brick Road. "Who's Ash? I'm a Pikachu!" He proclaimed dancing.
May and Pikachu looked at each other wondering what to do. "(It's obvious he's a bit groggy from the transformation...)" Pikachu stated the apparent obvious.
"Will it wear off?" May asked in a concerned tone.
"(Can't say. But on the bright side he's showing you a lot of affection! Everyone but him knows you have a thing for him.)" Pikachu reasoned.
May blushed realizing what he said was true, "Yeah...but...I'm not sure what to make of it."
Ashachu hugged May yet again and in a tone that's used for talking to babies said, "I love you! Yes I do!"
"(Well there you have it! You know how he feels!)" Pikachu declared.
"I'm not so sure about that," May sighed.
"(There's just no pleasing anyone.)" Pikachu's ears drooped.
Ash snapped out of it, clearly not understanding what happened. "What happened? What was I..?" Ash blinked.
"Um...nothing," May lied.
Ash knew she was lying and came to a conclusion. "I won't let this transformation stop me from protecting you! I'm still strong! In fact..." He ran over to his backpack.
"Ash that's not a good id-" May tried to warn him.
Ash grunted and wheezed as he tried to lift it but he fell backwards.
"Ash...I don't think you're strong enough at the moment," May sighed.
Ashachu teared up, "But I love you! I should be able to do anything for you! Are you saying that I'm weak?"
May was once again surprised at his sudden outburst. But realized that he had begun crying and hugged him. "Shh...Shh...It's okay. I'm not saying that at all. I love you too. I'm just saying that you can't do what you used to. I just want to keep you safe."
Ashachu leaped out of her arms and planted a peck on her lips, causing her to blush harder than she ever had in her life. "I'm still brave! See?" He smiled through tears.
"I don't doubt that you're still brave...But this is a matter of Human strength vs Pikachu strength," May reasoned, "No offense."
"(None taken.)" Pikachu shrugged.
"Are you saying that you don't like me because I'm a Pikachu now?" Ashachu frowned.
"Ash you know that's not true. I love you in any form...but I don't want you to get hurt." May sighed picking him up.
Ash's ears drooped and said, "I wanna be me again...I don't know what I'd do if something happened to you because I couldn't protect you."
May hugged him. He hugged back and the hearts reappeared but he didn't go too loopy this time. May chuckled nervously. "Your arms are soooooooo, waaaaaarm!" Ashachu started to purr.
"(Is he...purring? I didn't know we could do that...)" Pikachu blinked.
May thought this is rather adorable and begun to rock him like a baby. Ashachu however was um...looking at her chest. "Can I stay like this? Pikachu sized? In your arms. I've never truly appreciated your beauty like this before!"
May blinked, "Uh."
"Ash? May? Where are you? You've been gone so long that Brock had to get firewood himself!"
To be continued.
