Within half an hour, Lucy was fully adapt to her Servine body. "How long does this last?" she asked Anna.

"No idea," Anna replied, "That's what you're here for!"

"That makes sense," Lu replied.

"Oh! Um... I have to get something from the lab. Say here a minute, OK?" the 'Axew-Lady' smiled, standing up and walking away. Lucy stood silently for a moment.

"Hey, you!" she heard someone say.

"Who's there?!" the Servine shouted.

"Name's Chase," the voice said smoothly.

"Sh-show yourself!" Lu looked around, preparing to use Leaf Tornado.

"Relax!"

Then, she saw him. A Raichu.

"You're... talking!"

"...So are you. Was that your trainer who left?"

"Well... no."

"Ha! Sure it wasn't. Who, then?"

"You wouldn't believe me."

"I believe lots of things."

"Well... OK..."

And the story began, with Chase listening the whole time.

"...And that's that," Lucy finished.

"I..." Chase began. The Servine bit her lip nervously. "Believe you."

"Really?" Lu blinked.

"Sure! Why not?"

"Hmm... I dunno. It just seems... strange."

"It does, but I totally believe you. Will you come here tomorrow?"

"I can ask Anna, if you'd like..."

"Great! I'll wait over there, to hear what she says," Chase winked before scampering away.

"Wait!" Lucy shouted. The Raichu poked his head out from behind a bush. "Will you... battle me?" she asked sheepishly.

"Sure! I always love a good battle!" he replied fiercely.

"Um... wait..."

"What?"

"Do you know my name?"

"Lucy."

"How?"

"I saw you talking to Anna, remember? Actually, that's the main reason I believe you..."

"Oh... okay. Let's start!"

Chase nodded. He started the battle with Thundershock, hitting the ground next to Lucy as she dodged it just in time. He tried again, hitting her that time, and she shook it off as soon as possible before retaliating with Charm (a move she hadn't previously been able to try). The Raichu tried jumping out of the way, but he realized this wasn't that kind of attack as he paused, mid-air, and his eyes became pink hearts.

Lucy had the next attack- she used Vine Whip multiple times, slapping Chase in the face before he snapped out of the Charm. He growled and used Iron Tail, blowing the Servine across the clearing.

Lu stayed down for a moment before shakily standing and staring at the Raichu for a moment. Then, he used Take Down, and began charging towards her. Lucy used Slam, curling into a ball and hurtling through the air towards him. They hit each other, followed by a huge cloud of dust, and everything was black.

"Lucy, I'm back!" Anna called as she returned. She was shocked to see Lu and a Raichu, fainted next to each other on the ground. She rolled her eyes, pulling a Revive and touching the Servine with it. Lucy bolted up immediately, taking a fighting stance.

"Uh... oh, hi, Anna..." Lu said.

"You got into a fight, I see?" Anna asked. Lucy nodded.

"Can we help him? I know he'll recover on his own. eventually, but-" the Servine froze mid-sentence. The was wracked with continuous pain as she began turning back into her human form- growing taller, her tail shrinking, and her green skin turning pale olive. Anna chuckled and pulled some clothes out of her backpack, placing them on the ground and turning away.

"I fixed your clothes," the green-hair said.

"Thanks..." Lucy replied, re-clothing and continuing her sentence. "But I like him. He's nice."

"Well.. I'm out of revives, so the only way would be to capture him and bring him to a Poke'mon Center. Here's a Poke'ball," Anna handed the item to Lu.

"I hope you understand... I'm looking forward to our time together," Lucy whispered before throwing the Poke'ball at Chase. It shook for a while, then made a DING sound. The Raichu had been captured.
