A/N Okay I know it's been a while, but with Christmas and my health and a lot more, I have not had a lot of free time to work on the chapters of my stories. But I am working as fast as I can to get them done and as soon as I can while making sure that I do not mess up either.

Anyway, I would like to thank you all for the reviews that I have gotten from you and the ideas to have Ash with all the girls that you said he should be with after all that way they can all get some love then as things are going to start to heat up in this chapter.

Chapter 3 so it begins

Once the group had entered the forest, they all looked around seeing the thick mist that was around them as they all looked at each other knowing that they had to get through it if they were going to get to the next town after all.

Just then they heard a sound that sounded like giggles from a girl as they all wondered who was out there and what they found so funny. "Hey who's out there?" Ash called out into the thick forest, but he got no answer just more giggles.

The girls all looked at each other with worried looks on their faces none of them liked this at all right now. "I think that we should keep going," Misty said looking at the others as she knew that this place just felt wrong.

Serena nodded to Misty as she didn't like this forest as she knew it was wrong and a part of her wanted to turn back the way they had come from yet Serena knew that she couldn't do that. "I have to agree with Misty here this place I don't know it feels wrong."

"Well let's just make sure we leave then," Ash said knowing that it felt odd as everything was telling him that he should leave.

'I agree Ash I don't know what this place is, but it feels wrong to me.' Pikachu said as he too had a frown on his face at the forest that they were in right now.

The others all nodded as they knew that they needed to leave as the turned back to head the way they came knowing that it wouldn't take them that long to get out of here.


However, little did any of them know that the group was being observed by the creatures that lived in the forest as they all looked at the new people that had come into their home, it was hard to tell what they looked like thanks to the shadows but they had an almost human-like shape to them.

"Oh look new friends to join us." A girl said with a smile on her face looking at the humans began to make their way back in which they had come from something none of the girls watching liked.

"But they are leaving." Another girl said in a sad voice as she too was looking at them knowing it would be good to have new friends as they hadn't had new friends in a very long time come to this forest anymore.

"I know that what's to say that I don't have a brilliant idea?"

"Oh?" wondered the other girl, curious on what kind of plan the first girl in question had in mind especially as things were a bit hellish… especially as the only ones who ever came to the forest were members of Team Rocket and the only things they ever have done was cause problems such as either killing or stealing Pokémon that resided in the forest. "What kind of idea do you have in mind?"

"You'll see," answered the first girl, more so as she did find the boy with the girls to be rather cute and felt that there was more to him than meets the eye…. especially with his Pikachu. "Besides, I want it to be a surprise."

"A surprise?" asked the other girl with delight, her face starting to beam up with the fact that this was going to be a surprise as she was one who loved surprises, especially ones that the first girl had in mind. "I can't wait to see what it is… I hope it's a good surprise."

"Oh, it will be," the first girl replied with a smile forming on her face as she was thinking it over, but she's certain that she'll come up with a thought that'll make the other girl really happy as they could use some new friends that wouldn't leave in a way. "Maybe we could face him in a battle."

"Really?" the other girl spoke, more so somewhat disappointed at hearing the response though she figured the first girl had a reason for suggesting such an idea and as expected, the first girl began to smile when she started to explain her reasons for recommending they battle Ash.

"Yeah, he's a Pokémon Trainer right?" she asked her, feeling that the raven-haired young man having the Pikachu on his shoulder was a dead giveaway on his status as a Trainer. "So it's safe to assume that he at least should know how to handle himself in an actual battle."

"Yeah, that's true…" said the other girl with a hint of curiosity, especially as speaking of Pikachu, there was something else about the male Mouse Pokémon that caught her eye. "You know, I thought all Pokémon usually stay inside their Pokéballs."

"So did I…" added the first girl with a shrug as she too didn't have a clue on how this was the one Pikachu that wasn't in a Pokéball though she wasn't complaining about it one bit. "Oh well, that's not something I would lose sleep about as it's somewhat amusing to see a Pokémon that isn't in its Trainer's Pokémon.

"I'll say, the same could be said about that orange-haired girl's Azurill and that blue-haired one's Piplup," the other girl commented, referring to Misty's Azurill and Dawn's Piplup, which remained in the arms of their respective female Trainers instead of being in Pokéballs themselves. "I'm rather curious on how that is possible."

"Well, they will all be shocked when they look at us." The first girl said as she stepped out from the shadows showing that she was not human nor was her friend either, no they were something else altogether.

The first girl body was a light green colour with a leaf the top of her head, and there was also seeds around her neck like a necklace, from a first glance she looked like a Chikorita with a human body only she had no clothes on her.

The girl standing next to her was also like her a half human and half grass type Pokémon only she was a cross with a Bellossom. "Well first we need to separate them all to stop them from leaving here then they shall slowly join us." The Bellossom girl said with a grin on her face.

The Chikorita girl nodded as she gave a smile and nodded at what her friend was saying, true it would be hard, but she knew that in the end, it would be worth it and fun as well for them which caused her to giggle.


Ash and the others meanwhile were heading back the way to the entrance of this creepy forest but as they headed back that way they all began to notice the many pieces of torn clothes on the ground which made all present worried that something had happened to the people who came here before.

"I don't like this at all," Zack said with a frown as he looked down at the clothes that once belonged to that of a girl. "But this makes me wonder what happened to this girl."

Brock nodded as he was frowning as well as he looked around seeing that there was no blood. "I don't know, but there's no blood in the clothes or any bodies either," Brock said as Zack nodded at what the Pokémon doctor was saying.

The others also looked around and saw more and more clothes on the ground some were torn others looked like they had been taken off and just dumped on the ground. "I wonder why they took their clothes off," Ash said with a frown as he looked at his friends and saw May was worried.

"Guys, can we please just go it feels like we're being watched," May said rubbing her arms in fear as she was happy that Max was not here as this was the last place that she would want her younger brother to be right now.

"I agree with May can we please leave big brother," Bonnie said as she was holding her brother's leg in fear as well, but she was doing her best not to cry.

"Geez, you call yourselves trainers? You're acting more like a bunch of little kids…" Said a female voice, sounding somewhat annoyed but Ash felt it sounded rather familiar to him, especially having never forgotten the tone of it. "And I thought Ash was the only one, guess I was wrong…."

"Now, Iris there's no need to be like that. Besides, we're here to check up on Ash and see how he's doing. From the looks of it with these new people by his side, I guess it's safe to say he's doing fine though I never thought Brock and Dawn would be present."

"Wait a minute…" began Ash, turning his attention behind him and to his surprise, it was none other than Iris and Cilan, his companions from the Unova region as he and Dawn could never forget their faces, nor could he forget the Axew that stood on the dark-skinned girl's shoulder. "Iris, Cilan?!"

"Been a while, hasn't it Ash?" commented Iris, somewhat surprised that Ash was in an entirely different outfit than the one they saw him in when they parted ways in Kanto following their travels through the Decolore Islands.

"I'll say…. wait a minute, first of all how come you're both here all the way from Johto?" Ash decided to ask the two, especially as there was something else he needed to ask, mainly towards Cilan as it seemed that he knew Brock personally and vice-versa. "Now that I think of it… Cilan, how come you and Brock know each other?"

"It's a long story, but we figured we come to see how you were doing and Professor Oak told us that you were travelling through the Kalos region," Cilan answered the first question, then turned his glance towards Brock before answering the second question directed at him. "As for how Brock and I knew one another, we met in Johto and helped with a problem involving a Gyarados… Wasn't easy but we managed to resolve the matter."

"Also you don't have to worry about my training with Clair, it's been going well," responded Iris with a shrug, though she had to admit that her Dragonite, while he was a powerful Dragon-Type, was no match for Clair's shiny Druddigon from the Decolore Islands. Then again this was the second time he ever lost against a Druddigon, the first time being when she battled Drayden at the Opelucid City Gym before the Unova League and lost, at least she did a lot better than the first time she battled the male Dragon Master in question. "She allowed me to pay you a visit and you'll be surprised by the fact I have another Dragon-Type on my team while I was in Johto."

"Oh?" wondered Ash, becoming curious about what kind of Dragon-Type Iris managed to capture as he remembered the only two she had currently had been Axew and Dragonite. "Let's see."

"Alright then, go, Pokéball!" declared Iris, releasing her newest Pokémon from inside and it was one that Ash, Brock and Dawn immediately recognised from their travels through Sinnoh. It was a small, bipedal dragon-like Pokémon that was primarily blue. It had a big mouth filled with sharp teeth, no neck, and arms that started at the outer edges of its jaws. A red underbelly stretched from its abdomen to the bottom of its jaw. It also had two horns that resembled jet or plane engines, each with a light blue stripe in the middle. It had a single light blue stripe wrapping around its back. On top of its head was a dorsal fin, which had a notch on it.

"Is that a Gible?" muttered Dawn, as even Ash and Brock were at a loss of words. Remembering that the raven-haired young man had his male Gible back at Pallet Town with the rest of Ash's Pokémon following the Sinnoh League Lily Of the Valley Conference though it became apparent that they never would've guessed Iris would have managed to catch one herself. "How exactly did you find one in Johto?"

"Guys I think we should talk about this once we leave," Misty said as she crossed her arms over her chest while she as all for catching up and getting to know all the friend's Ash meet after she left she knew that this was not the place to talk.

"I agree this place is wrong," May said as she spotted more clothes on the ground as she looked at them as saw what looked like fur on the clothes which made her frown at this and looked at the others. "Why is there fur on the clothes?" May thought as she was about to ask when she heard Ash talk on what they should do.

Ash nodded as he remembered the terrible feeling that he and the others were all getting right now being here. "Misty's right we need to leave this place and now," he said as he was worried as well and looked at his friends as he didn't want to put them in danger.

Once he said this the group heard more giggles from the darkness of the forest and knew that it was not a good sign that someone or something was watching them. "Iris, maybe Ash is right," Cilan said as he heard it as well and knew why the others wanted to leave this place.

"Maybe you're right…" Iris said with a frown on her face as she looked at the others as she and they all noticed the mist around them was starting to get a lot thicker.

"Everyone, stay close together," Ash said to his friends as he didn't like this at all and knew that something was doing this but the question that he was trying to ask was who, maybe it was Team Rocket that was behind this. If so this was not funny at all.

The group all heard the whispers coming from the woods all sounded female to them as this just made Ash and his friends all look to each other. As it was hard to hear what they were saying at first, but soon it was becoming all too clear as a few of the voices got closer and closer to them.

"Come and join us." One of the voice said which they could all tell was female and this made them all wonder what she meant by 'join us' something told them it was nothing good. "You'll all like after all."

The group just backed away from the voice still something told them it was bad. "Why don't you show yourself?" Ash asked hoping to see who it was playing this trick on them.

Once Ash asked this, the group noticed that their Pokéballs were being taken, right from their side and they all cried out in alarm as they saw their Pokéballs which had their Pokémon in them flying into the mist. "Hey give us back our Pokémon!" Dawn yelled in fright.

The next thing that happened was what looked like Vine Whip came out and grabbed Ash's Pikachu, Dawn's Piplup, Iris' Axew and newly caught Gible, and Misty's Azuril into the mist, as the four Trainers called out for the Pokémon in fright. "Hey give us back our Pokémon!" Ash yelled as he soon chased after the Pokémon that had been taken from them.

Seeing Ash runoff made the others very worried as they too went off after him as they called out his name knowing that they all needed to stay together and that this might even be some trap for them all.

"Ash stop we have no idea what's going on!" Misty yelled as she went after him and knew that she couldn't blame Ash after all. "Or even who it is Ash anyone!" she cried out as she was now separated from the others and Ash and gave a frown at this.

She was not the only one as everyone had been separated as well trying to look for their friends and their Pokémon as well that was taken from them. "Dammit, why did I have a feeling that rejoining Ash would lead to our Pokémon being stolen?" asked Iris as she and Cilan were at an entirely different location than the others while her expression of concern formed on her face.

"We'll let's try not to think about it, and we'll get them back... I promise."

"I just hope you're right, Cilan," commented Iris with a frown on her face, the future Dragon Master was starting to suspect that the Team Rocket trio was up to their old tricks much like in the Unova region and the Decolore Islands… Making her want to give them a piece of their mind once she and Cilan get their Pokémon back. "Once I get my hands on those three, they're going to wish they never stole our Pokémon again!"

"Now hold on, Iris… it's too soon to say it's the same members of Team Rocket we encountered back at Unova and the Decolore Islands" Cilan replied to the dark-skinned girl. As she just caught that Gible in Johto and had also wanted to tell Ash and Dawn about the fact she also saw the famed Legendary Dragon-Type Rayquaza in the sky following Gible joining her team. Sure it happened after she lost her battle against Clair at the Blackthorn City Gym, but it was a moment she wanted to tell her friends.

"Of course it's them!" she replied, remembering that Jessie of Team Rocket had a female Water/Ghost-Type that knew the Mist attack which was a means to cover the trio's escape usually when they acquire what they came for, but there were a few exceptions. "Who else would've caused the mist that led to us getting separated from the others?!"

This response made Cilan remain silent, feeling as if the detective in him was starting to show itself much like in Unova as there were a few holes in Iris' accusation. "Maybe, though the voice we heard wasn't from Jessie…" he spoke with a finger on his chin, the two Trainers from Unova knew Jessie's voice well enough, and it didn't sound like her at all so he could rule the trio out at least for the time being. "Also have you noticed that a vine grabbed Pikachu, Piplup, Axew, Gible and that orange-haired girl's Azurill? I don't recall the three ever having a Pokémon that knew such an attack."

"Yeah, that makes sense though they did have an Amoonguss last I checked along with Frillish…" said Iris, reminding her green-haired friend that the Rocket trio did have a Grass-Type with them from when they encountered after the Unova League concluded. "Then again I don't recall it legally able to learn Vine Whip. But that doesn't mean they couldn't have captured a Pokémon capable of learning a move."

"Maybe, again it's too soon to jump to conclusions until we had all the facts," Cilan told her, wanting to cross that bridge when they come to it as there was something they needed to do first before things went to hell. "For now, let's concentrate on looking for Ash and the others, okay?"

"Okay…" Iris sighed, knowing there was no point in arguing right now as she wished that she had Dragonite and Emolga with her right now since it would've made things a lot easier though they were in their Pokéballs when whoever it was that took them and the rest of their Pokémon not too long ago. "I just hope they don't get themselves hurt looking for our missing Pokémon."

"Yeah, so do I…" added Cilan because he knew full well that everyone from the group cared deeply for their Pokémon much as they did and in a way, Iris was like Axew's human mother since she raised him following her being given the Dragon-Type from the Dragon Elder at the Village of Dragons prior to ever meeting Ash. "If I know Ash, he'll want to do whatever it takes to get Pikachu back as the two of them are the closest of any of his Pokémon."

"Tell me about it, the same with Dawn and her Piplup as well as me and my Axew, he's like a son to me even though he's a Dragon-Type" added Iris with a frown forming. Though the fact Cilan knew Brock in Johto made her wonder on a lot of things such as how Brock knew Ash though Dawn was well familiar with the raven-haired Trainer ever since reuniting with him in Unova, so it made sense, but then there were Misty, May, Clemont, Bonnie and Serena to take into consideration. "I wonder about that orange-haired girl and that blue Pokémon she carried in her arms. I'm guessing like Ash's Pikachu, Dawn's Piplup and my Axew, it doesn't appear to want to be inside its Pokéball."

Cilan thought about it for a moment, while he was familiar with Brock and Dawn, he neglected to introduce himself to Misty, May, Clemont, Bonnie or Serena before the whole ordeal took place and hopefully when it was all over they'll be able to have a proper introduction. "We'll have to ask about it some other time once everyone has their Pokémon back and we get out of this place" he informed her.

Iris didn't say a word; she decided that she wanted to check up on something. "Hold on, let me get up the tree… maybe I'll get a better view from up there!" she said before getting to the closest tree that she could find and she was glad her time climbing and swinging from trees in Unova paid off because it was a considerable benefit in case they didn't have their Pokémon to help them.

"See anything?"

"So far, no…" responded Iris with a frown, silently cursing at the fact that there was so much mist, even being up in a tree to scout the area didn't seem to help matters one bit, and it made her a bit irritated right now. "There's too much mist around us."

Cilan nodded and gave a frown at this as he and Iris tried to work out what was going on, he knew that this wasn't Team Rocket after all if it were, they would have come out and used their motto that they liked to use so much.

The two also wondered how the others were all doing right now as well as they were both worried that they might not get out of this forest alive. The two Unova natives looked around seeing that the mist was not letting up as Cilan was trying to think why this was going on.

That was until Iris spotted a cabin in the distance, which only made Iris smile. "Cilan look maybe the people who live there could help us." She said with a smile on her face as she began making her way towards the old cabin.

Cilan just rubbed his chin not liking this he had a feeling that there was no one living in this cabin anymore, but still, he knew that it wouldn't hurt to look inside and maybe it would give them a place to stay and even regroup with the others if they could find them that is.


Ash meanwhile was still calling out to Pikachu, but it was no use as he was getting no answer from his Pokémon friend, soon Ash heard more giggles from the mist, and he wondered if it was the same ones that had taken Ash and the rest of his friends Pokémon. "Hey who's out there?" He asked as he looked towards where the giggles were coming from but saw nothing. "Stop laughing and shop yourselves!" he cried out, and while he knew that this was a bad idea as he had no Pokémon with him right now to keep him safe from the thieves or even wild Pokémon.

Just as Ash asked this, he heard the sound of a female voice from the mist as she giggled once again and Ash could tell that she was not alone. "Oh wouldn't you like to know, but I don't think that it's just time yet after all the fun will soon start," She began not showing herself to Ash. "Not just you but your friends and your Pokémon as well and I want to watch the change."

Ash was a little confused by this and what the girl within the mist meant by change as more and more giggles where heard around Ash. "Don't worry you'll meet your Pokémon again soon and both you and they shall be better than ever."

Once again Ash was confused by this not knowing that the girl was talking about and he wanted to know this as well. "What are you even talking about?" he asked the voices but he got no answer from them as he kept on going.

Right now he hoped that everyone else was okay he knew that Misty was behind him, but something told him that the females of the forest made them go in different ways from him, and this worried Ash deeply.


Zack meanwhile was lost in the woods as well with his Gardevoir as they too were looking for the Pokémon that have been stolen from him he was just thankful that whoever took his news friends Pokémon that they couldn't at least get her.

Zack looked over to his Pokémon as he knew that she was unable to use Teleport, which was trouble as it meant they would need to walk out of this forest. Well once he had found the others he was with that is then they would leave this place and make sure to warn others as well.

Gardevoir was looking around the forest as she looked over to her trainer she too felt the danger that this forest had to it Gardevoir looked to Zack. 'We should be fast Zack I'm not sure what else will happen if we stay here much longer.'

Zack nodded he knew she was right but he was not going to leave his new friends. "Your right Gardevoir we really shouldn't stay here more than we should, yet something tells me that whatever is doing this doesn't want us to leave this place."

Soon Zack started walking once more as he saw a note that was on a tree as he wondered if any of his new friends had left it for him. Zack frowned as he looked at the note and saw that it was done in a hurry, but he decided to read it to see what it said.

'My time is running out, and I'm not sure how much longer I can last I can feel my finding going which each passing second. To whoever reads this please leave this forest now while you can and before….' The rest of the note, however, was stopped as it was torn where there should have been more.

After reading this Zack looked to his Pokémon and both knew that this was bad that they needed to find their Pokémon and then get the hell out of this place before whatever happened to this trainer happened to them as well.


Misty meanwhile was still looking for Ash, and her Pokémon that had been taken the young gym leader was now frowning at this she didn't like the ones that had stolen her Pokémon if she found them she was going to give them all a piece of her mind.

"Okay you need to think this through, right now your all alone and you've got no Pokémon with you either," Misty said as she was worried about her Azuril knowing that the baby Pokémon was scared right now, but she was not going to let that stop her. "I'll find you Azuril."

With that determination in her mind, Misty began to walk forward once more as she knew her friends were out there and she was going to find them and her Pokémon. "You should just stop." A voice called out to her with a giggle.

Misty spun around to where the voice was, but she didn't see the one that was talking to her but Misty knew that she was out there and that she could see her even if Misty couldn't. All Misty could do, was look in the direction of the voice and gave a growl feeling that they were playing around with her and that was something she didn't like at all. "Why don't you stop playing games and show yourself already, and while you're at it how about you give us back our Pokémon so that we can leave this place already!"

The female however merely giggled even more, and while Misty was unable to see her, she could. "Well, sorry cute but this is something none of us can let happen, I have to say my friends are right you and the others are good been such a long time since we had anyone here after all."

Misty couldn't help but let out a groan as knew that the girl was flirting with her as she wondered what was wrong with this girl. "Okay that is wrong," she said with a frown at the girl, worried it was a stalker. "I don't even know you after all!"

"Oh, you're no fun… At least you're nothing like the ones bringing hell to this place."

"Wait, what are you talking about?" asked Misty with another frown, wondering what the girl meant by the ones causing hell to this place although she had a bad feeling that she knew who it was because there was one group capable of causing problems. "You don't mean…"

"Yes, they are from a group called Team Rocket…" the girl replied, although the Team Rocket members she referred to weren't the ones that Misty was currently thinking about as the other girl continued with what she needed to say. "The men who come here, they demanded the Pokémon that live in this forest. Otherwise, they would resort to extreme measures, such as killing to get what they wanted."

Misty bit her lower lip, caught off guard by the fact the girl mentioned 'these men' which was an obvious sign that the Team Rocket members threatening the forest weren't Jessie, James and Meowth since they were the ones usually causing problems only towards her and her friends throughout the course of Ash's journey. "I'm sorry to hear that…" she spoke, somewhat sympathetic towards the other girl after hearing her story. "But that doesn't excuse you stealing our Pokémon."

"We had no choice…" the girl responded back with a stern expression on her face, giving Misty a serious glance, while still keeping her distance from Misty, because of the fact the Tomboyish Mermaid wanted to leave. "You said yourself that you intended to leave but would you want to after hearing what Team Rocket had done by far?"

"But still…"

"We are not like those murderous men, we only took your Pokémon so you could stay long enough to hear our plea and help us…" explained the other girl. Wanting to show that she and her friends were nothing at all like Team Rocket and being as genuine as she could be since there was a chance that the forest would eventually be attacked again. "Those men may come back to try and steal more of the Pokémon that live here, and we can't let that happen."

Remaining silent, Misty didn't know what to say because as much as she hated Team Rocket, it didn't change the fact the girls resorted to doing what they did. "If we gave you your Pokémon back, will you promise to help us?" she heard the girl ask her, needing her word that it wouldn't be a trick to escape once the Pokémon are all returned to the group.

"Well…" Misty was biting her lower lip, knowing there wasn't much she could do at this point without any Pokémon nor did she like the idea of the others getting attacked while they were completely defenceless whether it be by Team Rocket or otherwise. "Fine, you have my word..."

"Are you sure?" asked the girl, wanting to be certain that Misty was being truthful and not just saying it to make her lower her guard as most had done before her. "I'll be holding you to it just to let you know."

"Yes…" answered Misty, feeling as if the girl wasn't too convince and wanted to show she's sincere about wanting to help keep the forest safe in case Team Rocket came back to take more of the Pokémon residing in it, which unfortunately included the Pokémon belonging to her and the others. "Please, take me to where you're keeping Azurill and the others."

The girl looked into Misty's eyes, needing some extra assurance on the promise that was being made to her and after a few seconds, with the orange-haired girl being a bit nervous as she still couldn't see the girl, the female gave her answer. "Very well, come with me…" she said before leading Misty down the path that she was following Ash in, hoping that the raven-haired young man was alright.

On the other hand, she was also worried about the others and prayed they'll be able to find their way through the forest, provided that nothing else went wrong down the line.

"Why don't you show yourself anyway?" Misty asked as she saw the girl was too far away from her to get a good outline.

All the girl did, was let out the same giggle that she and her friends had heard before. "Oh in time your boyfriend is this way." She said while Misty simple went red what the girl said.


"Oh man, I hope Ash and the others are okay…" muttered Tracey Sketchit, the young man from the Orange Islands was grateful that Professor Oak allowed him to pay Ash and Pikachu a visit to see how far along they were on their journey through Kalos. He didn't expect to have his three Pokéballs, containing Marill, Venonat and Scyther, to be stolen from under his nose.

"If whoever took my Pokémon were who I think they are, then I'm going to have to teach them a lesson they'll never forget…" he continued, thinking that Jessie, James and Meowth were up to their old tricks again given the mist that surrounded the area. And he had been hoping that his reunion with Ash and the others would've gone a lot smoother. "Hopefully Ash and the others didn't go too far into the place since it's easy to get lost even without the mist."

Now that he thought about it, he hadn't seen Jessie, James and Meowth since the Battle Frontier since he missed out on the other times the trio attacked Pallet Town following Ash's travels through Sinnoh, Unova and the Decolore Islands. Though he had been busy paying Misty and her sisters a visit at the Cerulean City Gym during those times after all mainly to see the oldest sister. "Huh?" he wondered upon hearing a female laugh as he could tell it wasn't Jessie's voice. "Who's there?"

"We've been waiting for you…"

Tracey turned around to see that there was a girl whom he didn't recognise at all, something that made him a bit worried and concerned. "Who exactly are you?" he asked since he's sure as hell convinced that it wasn't the Team Rocket trio though appearances could be deceiving. "Where did you take my Pokémon?"

"I'll tell you in due time…" she explained to the young man from the Orange Islands, having a feeling that he was friends with the ones who previously entered the forest not too long ago and he didn't wear the black uniform of the men who attacked long ago. "First you must come with me."

"Come with you?" wondered Tracey with a serious look forming on his face, suspecting that it could be a trap like the ones that he, Ash and Misty fell for from the Team Rocket trio at the Orange Islands and there's a chance it could be a similar trick. "Where?"

"You'll see…" said the female standing before him, heading off in the direction he was previously travelling to and turned back to see if he was going to follow her. "Your Pokémon are safe, as are the ones belonging to the others who came here. Please, do not delay. "

"Wait…" began Tracey, having not known that Ash and his friends had their Pokémon taken away by these unknown girls themselves as he ran up towards the one he was told to follow. "You mean my friends came here, and you took their Pokémon too?! How? Why?"

The girl said nothing as she turned around and started walking forward into the forest. "You shall see in time." She said as Tracey frowned this knowing that he needed to find his Pokémon, but he also needed to find out what this girl was talking about too.


Serena, Dawn and May were all with each other as the three girls looked at each other they were all worried right now for their friends and what was going on in the forest. "Great this all we need," May said as she gave a deep sigh and looked at Serena and Dawn. "I was hoping that we could all relax and get to catch up with Ash."

Dawn nodded as she looked at May and then Serena as she wanted to get to know the new girl that was with Ash. "I know how you feel May," Dawn said as she looked back to make sure they were not going to be attacked by any wild Pokémon. "But I know we shall find Ash and the others, so there's no need to worry."

"But we don't have our Pokémon with us they stole from us, Dawn," Serena said worried for her Pokémon and the fact that she had yet to see a wild Pokémon in the forest.

Both May and Dawn knew that she was right, but as of yet, they hadn't seen a wild Pokémon which concerned the three girls as well. "But still why haven't we seen anyone not even a Pokémon?" May asked as she looked at the trees and saw no flying Pokémon in them.

"Your right something just doesn't feel right," Dawn said as she rubbed her arms starting to get a little scared now as Dawn looked to both May and Serena knowing they felt the same as well.


Ash meanwhile had followed the one that he thought had taken Pikachu till the girl had just despaired, but he had been, brought to a lake which confused Ash as to why he was taken here in the first place.

Ash continued to look out at the lake trying to see if anything was on the other side or in the middle of the lake as well since he saw a small rock but looking closer at the foundation he saw there was something there. "I wonder if it's Pikachu." Ash wondered as he took off his clothes leaving him in just his underwear.

Ash soon went swimming in the lake so that he could reach Pikachu or what he thought was Pikachu at least. Little did he know that as he began to head towards the rock, his clothes were taken away by the same Chikorita girl that had been watching him and his friends.

"So you got his clothes then?" Another girl said this one was a Jolteon girl as she looked over to where she could see Ash swimming and gave a smile.

The Chikorita nodded as she gave a light giggle looking back to see where Ash was. "Besides it's not like it will matter when he gets to the rock he will see what it is." She said as she giggled knowing that this would be fun to watch.

The Jolteon girl nodded as well watching the young human swim both knowing it would be pointless for him, yet the Jolteon girl looked over to the Chikorita. "You know I do wonder what he will become when the 'change' is finished."

"Who knows, but we shall see soon won't be long now before it starts he and the rest of his friends have been in our home for a while now." The Chikorita said as she gave a smile her sight never leaving Ash.

After a while of swimming Ash had reached the rock and saw there was nothing there but a stuffed toy Pikachu that had been placed here, "Damn why would someone put that here anyway?" Ash asked as he knew that he had to head back to where he came and then get changed back into his clothes.

However, once he got back to his clothes, he saw that they were gone, which only cause him to frown at this as he began to look around to see who had taken them. "Hey, where are you!?" Ash cried out in all directions, but all he got for an answer were the giggles from before.


From where she was hiding the Chikorita girl smiled at what she was looking at as the Chikorita girl knew that she could show herself to him, but that would ruin her fun if the boy and his friends found out what was going to happen to them. "Closer than you think."

When he heard this, Ash frowned at what the girl said to him knowing this was bad news after all. "Look who are you anyway?" Ash asked as he looked to where the voice was coming from and he slowly moved to the girl, after all, he wanted some answer right now. "And why don't you stop hiding."

The Chikorita gave a smile as she thought over what Ash had said to her and knew it was still a risky thing to do after all. "Okay but don't freak out," she said with a smile on her face as Ash nodded at what he had heard her say.

Ash was still on guard not sure what he was going to see, but slowly the girl that had taken his Pokémon came out from the shadows and Ash was shocked at what he was seeing before him as the Chikorita girl just smiled at the expression that she saw on his face.

Ash was shocked that he fell back and landed on his butt as all he could do was look at the Chikorita girl that was standing in front of him who just looked down at him and smiled as she got down on her knees and moved over to where he was. "What are you…?"

The Chikorita just looked at him seeing if he was starting to change which she knew was going to happen she was just unsure on how fast it would be for him or the others that he had brought with him.

"Me well I live in this forest with my friends." She said with a smile as she merely moved closer to Ash until she was face to face with him.

"What do you want with my friends and me anyway?" Ash asked as he gave the girl in front of him a frown as he looked at her and looked away when he saw that she was not wearing any clothes.

The Chikorita girl just gave a smile as she knew what was going on with him and why he was acting this way as well just made her laugh at him. "Oh don't worry, I won't do anything Ash." She told him all the while she kept on smiling at him, which made Ash a little, worried. "Very soon Ash the change will be on you and your friends."

Ash was confused by what she had said about the change. "What are you talking about?" Ash asked still wondering what was going on and what the Chikorita girl was even talking about what was this change.

The Chikorita girl only smiled at him and soon giggled. "Oh that would be telling, but in time you will find out," she told him with an even bigger smile on her face. "But that doesn't mean that I will leave you alone been a long time since I have seen a boy." She told ash as she gave a smile as she soon sat on his lap.

Ash just gave a blush as the Chikorita girl was now sitting on him and smiled and before Ash could even answer what she was talking about she soon placed her lips on Ash's lips as Ash's eyes opened in shock at what she was doing.

The Chikorita girl looked at Ash and smiled as she saw that the first changes had started and she was going to watch them. "Well, it's started." She thought with a smile on her face as she looked into Ash's eyes.

"Ahhh..." The changes quickly overcame Ash, the boy's dark hair straightening out as it brushed against the back of his neck. It wasn't long before his face was softening his less pronounced cheekbones giving the boy a more feminine look helped by his shrinking nose and thinning eyebrows.

The Chikorita girl just watched knowing that it may be slow. But in the end Ash and his friends would all like the change that would happen to them, all she and her friends had to do was keep Ash and the others in the forest as long as they could so that the change could happen to them and be complete.

A/N well another chapter has been done, and yes the changes have started which will start to happen to all of them in time, but you are going to have to wait until the next chapter to see what Ash and the gang are going to change into since I want to keep it a secret right now.

As for the review that I have been getting and on Ash getting all the girls aka Misty, May, Dawn and Serena. I think IU will say this that this is going to happen just not right away as I do like to give it proper development for them all but in the end, Ash will get all four of the girls.

Anyway if you have any questions feel free to ask me, and I will answer them as quickly as I can for you guys and girls also I will try to update again as fast as I can. But with me needing to go to the doctors so much so chapters could take a while to get it done and not just on this story on all of my stories, but that doesn't mean I will give up on them as I will keep working on them.

Anyway with that last word I bid you a good day and please leave a review.
