Disclaimer: I have to say that I never expected to start another chapter for this story but hey, it was good to do and as always I don't own anything in the Pokémon franchise, I only own Sherry who is going to be part of Ash's harem. Who knows, I may include Lillie, Lana and Mallow (as well as Sophocles and Kiawe since they're the main characters alongside the three girls and Ash in the Sun and Moon anime) depending on how things turn out but there's going to be Pikachu having Glaceon and Bunneary as his threesome.
Chapter 9: Misty meets Anabel
Molly's mother frowned, stroking the hair of her beloved daughter who held her Teddiursa as they were in resting in bed despite their fears over the virus spreading through the entire world and the older woman didn't know what to do given that she couldn't risk heading out anywhere without becoming a victim much like the rest of the planet. "How's Molly doing honey?" she heard her husband Spencer asking her with a concerned expression.
"She's fast asleep, same with Teddiursa" she replied to the man she loved, hoping that there would be some good news regarding what could be done to save everyone who had become hybrids. "How did the conversation with the other Professors go?"
"Not too well, I'm afraid given the gravity of the situation and how things were getting worse" answered Spencer, wishing he actually had good news to share with his wife but at this moment there wasn't any although it didn't mean they should give up hope that a solution would be found. "Professor Oak mentioned actually making contact with his grandson Gary Oak and with the Alola region for additional assistance."
"The Alola region?"
Nodding his head, Spencer knew that he had to tell his wife at least there would be some good news regarding the matter. "Yes, he said there were people there could be of some aid," He said, part of him wished he could go to Alola with his wife and daughter, however, it may have to wait until they could undo the damage caused by the spreading infection. "One of them just so happened to be Professor Oak's cousin believe it or not."
"Is that so?" asked Molly's mother in surprise, which Spencer nodded his head to confirm that it was true though there's another thing which needed to be addressed given how it's been a long time since they've ever had any contact with Pallet Town. "What about Ash and Delia, how do you think they are they feeling about this?"
Spencer frowned, part of him wished she'd never ask such a question and looked away for a brief moment. "Spencer?" she muttered as she started to get worried and placed her hand on his shoulder in a very caring gesture, leading to him looking his wife in the eye.
"Delia knows of what's happening, as for Ash…" he started to speak, trying to find the right words to say concerning Ash since even he had no idea what became of him or any of his friends, whether it be his Pokémon or his companions old and new. "I'm not sure how to say it…"
"Yes?"
"There's no word on what happened to him other than Professor Oak learning from Brock, Cilan, Clemont and Bonnie that he disappeared" said Spencer, lowering his head again as the moment he first learned the news of what became of Ash, it reminded him of when he himself first disappeared due to the Unown and how eventually he was returned to his own world. "One of his friends also disappeared; I fear that they both became victims to the virus by this point."
Both Spencer and his wife gave a sigh, the only comfort either of them had right now, was their daughter was safe from this infection but neither knew how long that would last.
Unknown to all of them, Cilan was currently facing down an army of hybrids one of whom was Iris this only made him frown at this knowing that his time as a human was up as he looked at the leader Jack if he remembered it right.
The hybrid in question just looked at Cilan seeing the look the green haired man had on his face right now and the Pokémon that were not only keeping him safe, but we're making sure none of his fellow hybrid brothers and sister couldn't get past them.
Jack just didn't understand why so many people were so frightened by this, he and all the others that have been reborn knew that this was a gift. "Why fight this, my friend?" He asked looking at Cilan with a smile. "Don't you see how wonderful this is?"
"What is he planning?" Cilan asked himself looking at Jack, but at the same time, he was also keeping his eyes on not only Iris but the many other hybrids as well, knowing they could make a move on him at any moment and Cilan needed to be ready for that attack.
"This, my dear friend is the start of a new age," He said and gestured to all the hybrids that were standing around him all the while he was smiling. "The age of humanity is now over, and the age of the hybrids has begun."
Iris nodded as she took just one step closer to Cilan who took a step back knowing he couldn't let her near him, or he would become infected as well, and right now he needed to by everyone else the time that they needed to get away. I just hope that it works, and they all get to a safe place, Cilan thought as he looked at Iris still hating what she had become.
"Cilan please he's right this," Iris said pointing to her Zoroark body, and Iris smiled as she did this before she looked back up to Cilan. "This is freedom, Cilan; we can be with who we want."
"She's right you know," Jack began knowing that Cilan needed to see the truth that the human race was over and he and many other would be showing the humans that this was a better life for everyone. "You can be with whoever you want to be with."
Iris nodded and giggled as well. "And with how many you want as well," she said as Cilan hearing this looked at the female hybrid, feeling confused at what she was going on about. "Oh, you don't know do you, my dear love."
"Know what? What are you talking about?"
"Don't you see, we are free to do whatever we want to do" Iris replied to the green-haired male, making him worried as this was not the female who wanted to become a Dragon Master at all nor did it sound like her all because he didn't want her to come to Kalos out of fear she'd be infected and his fears ultimately turned out to be true. "Besides, we can be together and not care what others have to say."
"Even so, the Iris I know and love wouldn't act that way" Cilan informed the Zoroark hybrid, a scowl forming on his face as he glared at her and the others, especially Jack. "Besides, wasn't your dream to become a Dragon Master far better one then what this infection's trying to give you otherwise?"
This made Iris smile despite the scowl that Cilan gave to her. "A Dragon Master?" she asked as if sarcastically, even though he made a valid point about her having once held that dream to her heart even when parting ways with him, Ash and Alexa at Saffron City's Magnet Train Station. "You know, before I became what I am right now I actually wanted to become one, but now I want to stay like this."
"Iris, don't think like this…" Cilan tried to protest, and Jack knew that this was getting them nowhere as he felt that they needed to get this over with before they went after the others when Cilan's three Pokémon appeared to protect their human. "Huh?"
'Cilan, what are you doing?' asked Pansage as he didn't like the fact that Cilan was staying around as if trying to get infected by the countless Hybrids and both Crustle and Stunfisk were not too pleased with their trainer's actions either since Emolga, Excadrill, Dragonite and Gible previously arrived to give everyone, including the green-haired connoisseur the chance to escape. 'You need to get out of here and join the others right now!'
'I concur with Pansage, especially given the numbers right now there's no way you'd be able to last two seconds without one of them using this to their advantage' added Stunfisk, knowing the perfect attack to cover their escape since from the way they saw it, even Iris was beyond reasoning until the Professor Oak and the other regional professors found the means of undoing the damage.
Cilan was still in surprise at what his Pokémon was doing yet knew that Brock, Clemont and Bonnie might be able to handle themselves once they're far enough from the area with everyone else that avoided the infection. "I understand that but still…" He tried to protest, but none of the Pokémon with Cilan would even have it from him.
'But nothing, Cilan!' said Crustle, snapping at his human and was determined to keep the former Stration Gym Leader safe till the end even if it killed him and his fellow Pokémon in the process, knowing that Emolga, Excadrill, Dragonite and Gible would've done the same if they came out in time to protect Iris before she had been infected. 'Come on, let's get going!'
Stunfisk used Mud Shot attack, and it struck the front row, not intending to deal direct damage but rather to provide cover in an effort to at least help them and Cilan escape from the creatures they were pitted against. "The hell?!" exclaimed Jack as he, Iris and some of the other Hybrids shielded themselves from the attack and wondered what kind of trick the Ground/Electric-type Pokémon was up to she needed to be ready.
Iris saw that her soon to be mate was going to get away and she knew that this couldn't happen as Iris let out a primal growl over Cilan getting away thanks to the aid of his Pokémon. "I won't be letting that happen again."
She bent down to the ground and began to sniff him out and smiled knowing the direction which Cilan had gone in, she and the others knew that he was heading towards where the other humans had gone, and they all needed to act fast.
Jack looked over the new addition to their race and smiled at the Zoroark girl. "You needn't worry young one," He began and smiled more at her looking in the direction Cilan left in knowing it was pointless. "Soon he will join you, and you shall have your mate."
Iris could only smile at this she hoped that Jack was right she needed only to make Cilan see that this new life they will have wasn't a bad thing. "I hope so we need to show all humans the joy on what we've become after all."
Jack nodded with a mad grin forming on his face knowing that soon all humans would join the new race they just needed to make sure that anyone making a cure for this are stopped, but he was also worried for those who had been infected still have their human minds.
Meanwhile, Brock and the others were all still running know that Cilan was keeping the Hybrids busy as long as he could all so that they and the other survivors could all get away. It was something he didn't really like but knew it was needed, or all of them would have been captured and who knows what may have been done to them or rather what they would have become.
Brock looked at the children and saw that the parents were doing all they could right now to make sure they were not too frightened I hope we can get to someplace safe soon Brock thought knowing full well that the children they had with them were not going to last much longer with all the walking and running.
Bonnie looked to her brother as she was right next to Clemont, and even he was looking at his sister wanting to make sure that the hybrids didn't get his hands on his sister. "Bonnie don't worry I won't let anything happen to you okay."
All the young girl did now is look up to her brother and smiled at him knowing he was right, he would keep her safe from the hybrids. "Big brother do you think that…" She said and soon stopped what she was going to say as Clemont looked at her along with Brock.
"What's the matter, Bonnie?" Clemont asked seeing the look that his sister had on her face right now and knew that something was bothering her a great deal.
"Do you think that Ash and Serena became like the other hybrids we've seen?" She asked and when she had said this both Brock and Clemont looked at each other, and they knew that the longer they didn't see Ash or Serena the more likely it was that they had been infected.
"To be honest, I hope not otherwise there's no telling what could happen."
It was then that Dedenne sniffed something nearby and it got the attention of Brock, Clemont and Bonnie as the Electric/Fairy-Type could've sworn he smelled something nearby which made the three humans frown as whatever it is could be a hybrid that followed them. "What is it, Dedenne?" asked the blonde-haired little girl with a frown
'I don't know' answered Dedenne, trying to get a good whiff of the scent just to make certain he wasn't either smelling things nor was the scent that of a possible hybrid. 'I could have sworn I smelled a human just up ahead.'
Brock, Clemont and Bonnie were surprised especially upon hearing there was another human "Wait a moment it's human?!" the former Pewter Gym Leader asked of Dedenne, although as much as he hoped it was Cilan, he felt it best not to take any chances in case it's not the case. "Is it Team Rocket?"
Dedenne shook his head, knowing the scent didn't match that of Jessie or James. 'No, otherwise there would have been two human scents plus the scent of that Meowth' he replied to Brock, which to be honest was a relief since they already had enough problems without the trio further complicating matters. 'It's a scent I'm not really familiar with at all.'
As soon as the male Electric/Fairy-type gave his answer, they heard rustling in the bushes, and the three stayed close to the others in case it was something hostile. "Okay Croagunk, you know what to do" Brock was just about ready to send Croagunk out to protect them.
"You better come out too, Chespin."
However, neither got a chance to send their respective Pokémon into battle as coming out of the bushes was a young girl with green eyes and long light blonde hair, with two braids at each side of her face. She wore a large white hat, with a blue ribbon around it and a white dress with transparent outlines, a pair of long socks and white shoes resembling ballet flats. She also carried around a bag with a Pokéball design on both sides. "It's another girl," said Bonnie with some relief in her voice, never in her entire life had she been glad to see a female human their age and thought she might make an excellent wife to her brother Clemont.
"Don't even think about it, Bonnie" Clemont informed his younger sister although she had the same expression of relief that she did despite his concern for Cilan and approached the new girl just to make certain she's okay. "You okay?"
"Yes, I'm fine though I got separated from my brother and our mother during the sudden infection spreading throughout this world" she replied, assuring the three that she's unharmed and was actually grateful to have run into something that wasn't a hybrid as she'd been through hell trying to find her family. "I'm sorry, my name's Lillie. I come from a region called Alola."
Brock, Clemont and Bonne were somewhat surprised to learn who the girl was as well as where she came from. "The Alola region?" wondered Bonnie with a look of confusion on her face given how she'd never heard of a region like that before though neither Brock nor Clemont could blame her. "What's that?"
Lillie only looked at them as she told them about her home region that she lived in and the Pokémon that lived there, which shocked the group, however for Brock he knew that this wasn't the time to be talking about such things. True he did find it interesting about Alolan forms, but they were still being chased by the Hybrids right now, and he wondered if Lillie's family had been infected. "Look I'm sorry you got separated from your family, but we are being chased from the infected."
Lillie nodded she knew the infection had come not too far from the location they are in right now, but the ones standing in front had a good point they needed to leave and find a safe place. "Okay then let's go I almost ran into one of them a while ago."
With that said, the group knew it was now time for them to leave before things got worse for them, or the hybrids caught up to them, Brock looked back still not seeing any sign of Cilan. Yet he saw nothing from the direction in which he and the other survivors had come from.
Cilan meanwhile, was still running knowing that he couldn't let the hybrids catch up to the others so he would keep them all distracted as he looked around knowing Iris was after him, Cilan could still hear her calling out to him even now.
"Cilan where are you!?" Iris cried out as she sniffed the air trying her best to pick up Cilan sent and smiled knowing he is close. "Cilan I know your hiding somewhere, please just become a hybrid I know you're scared and worried, but this is a new life all humans can have."
Cilan only remained silent at this knowing he couldn't say a word, or he would give away his position, and Iris soon began talking once more. "Plus with Ash, if he became infected means he can have all the girls that have fallen in love with him you know," Iris called out to Cilan knowing that while she couldn't find him, she had a good feeling that he was listening to her. "We both know that there are many girls who love Ash."
However, there was still no response especially as he and his Pokémon were doing all they can to be careful not to expose where they were yet they were surprised that there were girls who love Ash though suspected it was just as friends. Just as Iris was about to say something again, the ground started to shake violently, and she saw a familiar Ground/Steel-Type bursting from below. "Well, well if it isn't Excadrill," she said with a smile as she didn't think that her Pokémon would try to intervene again.
'Iris, that's enough!' began Excadrill with a scowl on his face, hoping he wouldn't have to harm his trainer, but due to the infection having made her beyond reason then the possibility of it happening would prove to be unavoidable. 'I can't let you go any further.'
"Is that so?" Iris asked of her most powerful non-Dragon-Type, mentally wishing she still had her Pokéballs with her as she would've easily called him and her other Pokémon back inside so they wouldn't get in their way especially as she hoped to make Cilan all hers once he found him. "You really think that you're able to take me and the other fellow hybrids on by yourself."
'Not unless Cilan has some help in ensuring our success that is.'
Excadrill and Iris both heard another voice as the Zoroark hybrid managed to barely avoid being struck down by a powerful Flamethrower attack and saw to her further annoyance that Dragonite had come to back his partner up. 'About time you got here' Excadrill replied to the male Dragon/Flying-Type and hoped that Gible and Emolga were doing what they could to stay with Brock and the others.
"First Excadrill, now Dragonite?" Iris was not exactly pleased that this was going to delay her eventually mating with her beloved connoisseur and suspected it being nothing more than a ploy to buy him as well as his Chespin, Stunfisk and Crustle time to escape which she simply refused to let happen. "This is almost as annoying as that Dragon Buster Georgia, although I wouldn't mind her being one of us provided she doesn't turn into an Ice-Type hybrid."
Cilan was shocked at this but knew it was the virus that Iris had been infected with making her say this and wanting to infect as many humans as she and other hybrids could. "Okay I need to keep Iris talking so the others can get away," Cilan thought, now looking ahead at Iris and saw the other hybrids emerging from the Forest.
Seeing more of the hybrids coming out Cilan knew this was going to be hard as he and along with his and Iris' Pokémon were utterly outnumbered right now and Cilan had a feeling more hybrids were coming.
Seeing and knowing what Cilan was trying to do Iris stepped forward to the connoisseur. "Cilan, please don't fight this, just make it easy and let the change happen," Iris said as she took another step forward to her beloved.
Yet Cilan only took a step back when he saw Iris taking her own steps forward knowing he had to be on guard around the girl knowing she could infect him at any giving moment. "Iris look I know that you're in there somewhere, but I know that the best minds are going to be looking for a way to change you and the others who've been infected back to being human."
The hybrid next to Iris only scoffed at this which caused Cilan to look at the Seviper hybrid. "Like we want to be changed back we like what we've become."
All the others around them two nodded as Iris only shook her head in disappointment at this knowing she was going to need to show Cilan the way, and just the greatness that becoming a hybrid had she knew she was going to make her soon to be mate see this no matter the what it took.
Iris looked over to the other hybrids knowing they needed to act now, so they all gave a quick glance to each other and nodded slightly, while Cilan knew that they were planning something, so he knew that he had to be ready for anything.
Soon all the hybrids rushed towards the lone human and the Pokémon that are protecting him but knew this was not going to go the way they thought it would Iris being one of them there was no way she was going to lose the chance to get Cilan this time.
Seeing the hybrid coming the group of Pokémon were ready to fight knowing what would happen if they failed. "This isn't good," Cilan thought to keep an eye what was going on knowing that it was all down to the Pokémon, he needed to stay away from the hybrids.
Iris was looking at what was going on and smiled knowing and seeing with her own eyes that Cilan was distracted by the other hybrids as her Pokémon and even Cilan's keeping her fellow hybrids away from reaching Cilan. "Okay now's my chance to get to Cilan."
For the Pokémon, on the other hand, it was crazy they all used all the attacks they knew as Iris own Pokémon hated what had happened; Dragonite fired a Hyper Beam towards the Seviper hybrid, sending the snake crashing into a tree.
The Seviper hybrid hissed as she looked at the Dragonite with a scowl and she knew this was not something that the Pokémon standing before her was going to take lightly and hissed even more. "You're going to pay for doing that!"
Iris's Dragonite didn't say a word he knew that one of the hybrids was the reason his trainer had become what she was right now and said Pokémon was ready to attack once again; however, he noticed that Iris was nowhere to be seen.
'Wait, a moment where's Iris!' Dragonite cried out in panic and looked around before he and the others all looked over to where Cilan was and right behind the Pokémon connoisseur was none other than Iris who had gotten past them.
Iris on the other hand simple smiled and knew she had to act fast in case her Pokémon or Cilan's stopped what she was planning to do and Iris quickly bite Cilan on the shoulder making the connoisseur cry out in pain and soon fell to his knees.
"It's okay my love let the change happen," Iris said as she bent down seeing Cilan starting to change which caused her to smile, happy she had gotten to infect him and knew it was only now simply a matter of time before his transformation competed.
Team Rocket, minus Jessie, James and Meowth, were making preparations of their own and especially as Giovanni was aware of the infection spreading throughout the Pokémon World but at the same time he actually thought it would be good to make this work to their advantage given how they had enemies all over the Pokémon World which included the Iron Masked Marauder who betrayed him during a mission to acquire Celebi in the Johto region. "How go the preparations?" came the leader of the four Team Rocket Executives Archer as he approached the scientists and grunts.
"Everything is going according to schedule sir. We should be able to proceed with the next part of the plan once we're ready."
"Good, with the infection, causing problems all across the globe it's best not to take any chances" he replied to the head scientist Professor Sebastian, feeling this was a much-needed redemption for his, Attila and Hun's failure not only to capture Raikou but also his and Tyson's failure in their mission at the Lake of Rage."What of those incompetent peons Jessie, James and Meowth?"
"No word on either of them I'm afraid" answered Sebastian, he hadn't heard anything about Jessie, James and Meowth since the Lake of Rage events though part of him felt it's for the best given how Team Rocket had far more important matters to attend to than just keeping tabs on three members whom they and their leader Giovanni thought as expendable. "Odds are they're still in the Kalos region."
"I see" said Archer with a shrug as he remembered how Giovanni mentioned that Jessie and James gave him four Pokémon when they returned to Team Rocket HQ following their failure at the Decolore Islands though he secretly wondered why those two and Meowth weren't just fired or eliminated for their career of failures, suspecting it had something to do with Jessie being the daughter of Miyamoto. "Oh well, it can't be helped, and if they were victims of the infection, then it's actually a blessing."
"What do you mean?" Sebastian asked of Archer, making the Team Rocket Executive glance at the head scientist with a scowl as it seemed he's been getting tired of having the trio around since they've done nothing but mess up in almost every mission assigned to them.
"Think about it, Sebastian… between their uselessness in doing anything right or the betrayal of the Iron Masked Marauder, I don't know which is worse for our reputation?" Archer replied, while he hated Jessie, James and Meowth, he despised the Iron Masked Marauder even more for his act of treason in the Johto region. "Hell, Domino, as well as my fellow Executives and I, are far superior in getting the job done for our leader than any of those fools."
Sebastian remained silent, aside from Archer, the other three Team Rocket Executives Arianna, Proton and Petrel weren't to be taken lightly nor was Domino aka the Black Tulip. "In any case, Dr Namba and Dr Zager are already at work with something rather special" Archer continued to speak, knowing it would actually be interesting to see how it would work despite the infection.
"You mean, they're working on…"
"Yes, of course," answered Archer, stopping Sebastian from finishing his sentence given how it was a top-secret project that they've been putting all their effort on. "Unfortunately it still needs some more time before its ready, and when it's fully operational, not even those hybrids will give us trouble."
"Even if it is online, what if either Zager or Namba get infected themselves?" wondered Sebastian, knowing even Team Rocket including Giovanni would fall victim to the infection themselves which could actually cause them further harm than just Jessie, James and Meowth's incompetence. "How would we handle being pitted against our own allies?"
Archer stayed silent, knowing Professor Sebastian made a very valid point on the matter. "We'll cross that bridge when we get there," he said before turning around to take his leave. "For now, concentrate n what you're assigned to and make sure it's ready by the time I come back."
Sebastian and the Team Rocket scientists saluted to Archer as he left the room. You heard, Archer. Back to work" he told his fellow scientists and the Team Rocket grunts upon getting back on track with their own preparations so they'll be ahead of schedule for when Giovanni's new plan got put into motion.
However as Archer was taking his leave, he and the Team Rocket scientists failed to realise they were being watched by four Pokémon, all of which showed concern regarding Jessie, James and Meowth still being in Kalos during the whole infection spreading across the globe. 'Did you hear that?' came the voice of Mime Jr, shocked that James was in danger.
'Yessss, yet I sssstill can hardly believe it with my own earsss' hissed Seviper, part of him considered heading out to find their humans and Meowth despite not knowing how to get to Kalos, whether it be with added assistance from Woobat, Frillish, Yamask and Amoongus or otherwise. 'However, we have to do sssssomething about thissss.'
'I'll say; unfortunately we can't fly to Kalos or even swim there' Carnivine reminded though immediately remembered that Yanmega was with them and she was technically part Flying-Type, but even she had her share of limits when it came to heading off to somewhere far away from where they were without a means of finding their way around. 'Well Yanmega can fly; the downside is she has no idea where Kalos is even located. Then again neither do we...'
The other Pokémon knew that this wouldn't be easy and that Carnivine was right in they had no idea where Kalos was, and this infection was only getting worse with each passing day. But they knew that they needed some kind of plan before it was too late for their trainers.
'Wait a minute' Mime Jr had a thought occur to her, especially as they realised there might be a way to actually find their humans and Meowth since Team Rocket HQ had one Pokémon who had the means of finding any member of Team Rocket. 'What about Delibird, I mean he knows how to find any Team Rocket members regardless of which region they're in.'
Seviper mentally slapped himself with his own tail for having not realised it sooner. 'You're right; the question isssss would he help ussss without ssssituation' he hissed as it would take a lot of convincing for Delibird to even help them. 'I mean, he might not be here at thissss very moment.'
'Well he couldn't be out of HQ too often' added Carnivine as he too hoped that they'd knock some sense into Delibrid and make him aid them in helping Jessie, James and Meowth even if the rest of Team Rocket, including their leader Giovanni, disapprove otherwise. 'I mean he's bound to be back sooner or later eventually, and when he does, that's when we'll make our move.'
Yanmega was starting to like this idea; it could work once they carefully planned out how it would go and how they'll catch Delibird by surprise. 'What are we waiting for? Let's get a move on' she recommended as she and her three male companions began getting ready for the moment Delibird made his appearance.
Misty gave a sigh she had reached the blockade and could see that there were many people there, and Misty had a feeling they were not here to help people. "No, they are making sure that no one can get into where this virus first started."
Seeing this was not going to be as easy as she thought she had a bad feeling in her stomach that something happened to Ash and the rest of her friends, she could see some elite trainers she had never met all were busy making sure that no one got in, and she didn't blame them hearing all about the infection.
"I need to get in there," Misty said with a whisper knowing they were not going to just let her in she needed to find some way to get past them before Misty knew it a hand was placed on her shoulder as she was dragged into the tent.
At that very moment, however, Brock Bonnie Clemont and the other survivors had at long last reached the edge and saw the blockade. "We made it brother!" Bonnie cried with joy happy that they were now safe from harm but she still felt sad for Cilan.
The group moved closer to the blockade as they were quickly stopped by a Soldier at the blockade who looked at the group of survivors. "You shall not pass!"
Bonnie was looking at the solider and frowns at this as she soon pouts. "Did he just quote Lord of the Ri-" She began to think, but the thoughts were cut off as another soldier came over to the group that had arrived from the forest.
The other soldier at the blockade could only look at the people knowing that none of them could stay here, the risk to them, was far too high. "We can't let you through; you may be carrying the virus." He said sternly at the group of survivors.
"Do we look like Pokémon to you?" Clemont asked as he frowned at this knowing none of them had been infected by whatever virus this was, all he could think at this moment was keeping his sister safe from this damn virus.
The soldier from before looked at the group as he nodded at what his fellow soldier said before he looked at all of the survivors as he got ready to speak to them. "You shall not pa-" However before he could finish what he was going to say he gets slapped upside the head.
"Shut up, Bob!" the soldier next to him said with a frown forming on his face knowing that this was not the time to make such jokes.
"You're no fun, Dave," Bob said as he starts to pout looking over to Dave.
Dave, however, couldn't help but give a sigh not sure why he had to be stuck with Bob of all people, but he still had a mission that he and Bob needed to do, so he turns back to Brock and company who are looking at them like they are idiots. "We have orders not to let anyone through. Hybrid or humans."
Bonnie looking at this couldn't help but frown they had lost Cilan and who knows how many more of her friends she had seen people getting killed and now they were just going to be left all alone. "This is bullshi-"
"Bonnie language please!" Clemont said shocked at what his little sister had almost said and wondered where she had learned that from in the first place.
Dave soon waves his assault rifle at them. "Now please turn around and get killed or turned into Hybrids because we are authorised to use lethal force if necessary. These things aren't for show."
Bob stares at his own assault rifle in shock. "They aren't!? I thought we were larping! Ew! I'm allergic to gunpowder!" He said and soon throws the semi-automatic weapon on the ground causing it to fire at a third soldier at the blockade.
"Sunnuva bitch!" The third soldier at the blockade cried out in pain and looked over to Bob before he quickly fell onto his knees in pain.
Dave could only facepalm at this and looked over to Bob with a frown. "Dammit, Bob! You shot Joe in the dick!"
Bob only smirks at this and looks over to Dave with a smile on his face. "Well then it serves him right for cheating on me now doesn't it Dave."
"He's married to a woman you idiot!" Dave yelled at Bob not sure what else Bob would do while Brock and all the others looked at the two men argue.
Bob only gave a fake sense of hurt at this as he closed his eyes. "Debbie will never love Joe the way I do!" he said while all Dave could do was sighing once more at this knowing it was pointless right now as Bob was an idiot.
Brock, Bonnie, and Clemont still looking on at this couldn't help, but sweat drops at what the military was doing right now and all came to the same agreement. 'The military is full of idiots.'
"Look, go back I'm sorry, but the risk is too great anyone of you could be infected as we are holding them ones that have been infected back they can still be killed after all," Dave said knowing that this was needed.
Lillie now looked at the other as they all wondered what they are going to do now. "So what are we going to do now? They're not going to let us get past them?" Lillie asked knowing they needed to get past them so they would have a safe place.
Misty, on the other hand, was wondering what was going on and who had brought her into the tent and looked to see someone that May and Brock had told her about Anabel a Frontier Brain. But Misty was wondering why she had been dragged into the tent she needed to go and help her friends after all as who knows what happened to them.
"Hey, I need to go help my friends," Misty said the with a frown to Anabel knowing at least from what Brock told her that Anabel could tell what a person was feeling.
"Your friends…"
Misty nodded her head, especially as she was also aware that Anabel had Psychic powers as well as Psychic-Type Pokémon much like Sabrina the Saffron City Gym Leader though part of her cringed when bringing up Sabrina given how she turned the Tomboyish Mermaid along with Sabrina's mother and Brock into dolls. "Yes, one of them Ash Ketchum had gone missing, and my other friend Brock is doing what he can to look for him" she explained with a concerned expression on her face.
The moment Anabel heard the names Ash and Brock, her eyes widened in surprise as she hadn't heard those names since they along with Max and May were travelling together back when Ash was taking on the Battle Frontier. "Wait a minute, Ash and Brock are your friends?" she asked, wanting some form of clarification just to make sure she didn't hear things.
"Yes, to be honest I didn't think that you would remember them" Misty replied to Anabel though at the very least it was her first time talking to a psychic that wasn't exactly cold unlike Sabrina yet she knew that the Saffron City Gym Leader had a change of heart thanks to the Haunter whom Ash previously befriended with at Lavender Town prior to their return to Saffron City. "I actually happened to travel with the two back when Ash first started and we travelled through Kanto and Johto, although Brock temporarily stayed at Valencia Island with Professor Ivy when I travelled with Ash and Tracey during the Orange Islands prior to even learning about Johto."
"Oh, I see so you're Misty, the Tomboyish Mermaid of Cerulean City," said Anabel as she remembered what May and Brock told her about Misty whether it is before or after having battled against Ash during his challenge. "I heard how you won the Princess Festival, must have been a great accomplishment."
"Uh well…" Misty bushed a bit, it was a long time since the Princess Festival was ever mentioned not to mention that it's rare for anyone even to bring up her accomplishments in winning it although while she borrowed Ash's Bulbasaur and Pikachu as along with Brock's Vulpix, it was actually her Psyduck that allowed her to win in the final round as Jessie's Lickitung was giving her serious trouble. "I actually never really thought anyone would even be aware of it. Then again, Jessie of Team Rocket almost defeated me with that Lickitung of hers."
It didn't take long before Anabel's expression turned to a frown at the mention of the words Jessie and Team Rocket. "Don't tell me that…" she didn't finish her sentence, having a feeling she knew what her answer would be regardless.
"Yeah, been following me and Ash ever since Viridian City and especially before Brock joined us after his father took over in looking after the Pewter Gym and Brock's siblings" Misty said to the female Frontier Brain, referring to all the times she and Ash crossed paths with Jessie, James and Meowth during their career as Pokémon Trainers even more so Ash than her and Brock due to the trio's efforts in trying to steal Pikachu from the raven-haired young man. "They're a real pain to deal with even to this day."
Anabel didn't say a word, understanding how the orange-haired girl was feeling with all the times Jessie, James and Meowth usually popped up at just the right moment. "I can't say that I really blame you for feeling that way" she replied to Misty, placing a hand on her shoulder. "Looker and I aren't exactly fans of Team Rocket, let alone those three members of that organisation."
Misty looked at Anabel in surprise, and this was one name that she never heard about at all. "Who is Looker?" she asked, becoming curious on who this Looker guy was which made the Frontier Brain smile at the Tomboyish Mermaid.
"He's an International Police Officer from the Sinnoh region, he just so happened to cross paths with Ash and Brock during Sinnoh when Dawn was with them and Team Galactic had been causing trouble there then later on Ash, Iris and Cilan encountered him in Unova around the time Team Plasma made its move after the Unova League" Anabel explained to Misty, her smile widened since it would be good for her to actually meet him in person since he managed to avoid being infected himself. "You could say I somehow became his boss following the whole Team Plasma fiasco."
"His boss? Wow, I didn't see that coming."
Anabel nodded her head, though something clicked into the back of her mind. "You didn't come here alone did you?" she asked with a hint of concern on her face since it's really dangerous to be out without any kind of protection with the way the infection was spreading. "At the very least you brought one or two of your Pokémon with you in case any hybrids suddenly came out."
"Don't worry, I knew to bring some of my best Water-Type Pokémon with me such as Gyarados, Starmie, Politoed and Corsola" said Misty, assuring the Frontier Brain that she wasn't stupid enough to try and go out without anything to keep her safe should she actually be attacked then Psyduck suddenly popped out of his Pokéball which made her groan. "Him, I didn't have a choice on the matter."
All Psyduck could do was hold his hands on his head with the usual confused expression on his face. "Does this always happen to you?" asked Anabel as she's familiar with how Ash's Pikachu never stayed inside his Pokéball but never had she seen a Pokémon coming out of their Pokéball on their own. "This little guy coming out of his Pokéball I mean."
"More than you can possibly know…" answered Misty with a sigh, all while Psyduck retained the look of confusion and it made Anabel laugh a bit which hadn't gone unnoticed from the Tomboyish Mermaid or her male Water-Type.
"Sorry" Anabel was quickly apologetic to Misty as she didn't want to give the girl whom she befriended with the wrong idea or anything, but she couldn't resist given the moment that transpired. "Regardless, he does seem pretty cute all things considered plus I was able to have Espeon, Metagross and Alakazam act as guards for anything hostile."
"Well that's good at least," said Misty, relieved that Anabel also know to be prepared for anything just in case and it reminded her of the recommendation from her sisters to bring some of her best Pokémon with her due to failing to convince her not to go out there. "Good news is Team Rocket hadn't shown up lately, maybe it has something to do with the virus spreading throughout our world."
Anabel silently nodded her head, more so as with all the problems that they've been having it would be worse if Jessie, James and Meowth came along to make things even more complicated. "Huh?" she wondered, noticing her Espeon approaching her and knew that the female Psychic-Type wanted to share some news with her human. "What is it, Espeon?"
'Looker has returned,' she informed Anabel, glad that he was able to return without any sign of complication regardless of if he was protected or not. 'He has some information he wishes.'
"Oh good," said Anabel, a smile of relief formed on her face as she heard the good news regarding Looker and his investigation regarding the virus and the hybrids causing all kinds of havoc on their precious world. "Please, bring him in."
Espeon nodded her head and left to get Looker, causing Anabel to turn her attention towards Misty with the smile still on her face. "Looks like you'll be getting to meet Looker sooner than we thought," she said to the Tomboyish Mermaid.
Misty nodded at Anabel hoping that they could find Ash and her friends while not knowing some of them were outside and had no idea they had been forced to turn back into the woods they had escaped from.
However, for Misty, all she could do was waiting for Looker and hoped they would go into where this infection first started and looked for survivors. "Anabel, will we be looking for people that might still be in the city?" Misty asked as she looked at Anabel.
Anabel hearing this looked to Misty, and she knew that this was something she needed to tell the girl knowing she cared for Ash just as much as she did. "Misty, look we have no idea if Ash is well," Anabel stopped as it pained her to say this, knowing the fate of the ones in the city. "He may even be a Hybrid for all we know."
Hearing this Misty couldn't help but frown, knowing that Anabel might be right, but that didn't mean she was going to give up, she knew Ash had to be there, and there had to be a cure even. "Maybe Anabel, but we need to do something and help them."
Anabel nodded at what Misty was telling her knowing that they needed to help the people, but Anabel also knew that doing so would be putting themselves at significant risk and they could become infected as well by the hybrids.
However before Anabel could say this to Misty, Looker arrived looking at the two, and he wasn't alone Lance, and other members of the Elite Four from all the regions had arrived. Misty was shocked at seeing so many of them, three of which she had crossed paths with before such as Lance, Bruno and Lorelei, but with the events that were going on Misty knew why they had been called in, this was something that all regions need to be informed about.
Meanwhile, Dawn was sitting down watching the TV that Sherry had in her home for any news on what was going on right now with this virus.
Needless to say, she wasn't exactly happy with how things were turning out especially in her home region of Sinnoh, and it made her really worried for her mother Johanna as well as her friends Barry, Kenny, Ursula and Zoey as there's the chance they too fell victim to the virus. "I really hope my mom and my friends back home are okay" she commented to herself with a frown, knowing it didn't help she lost Piplup, Bunneary, Pachirisu, Mamoswine and Quilava during the moment she became infected and turned into the hybrid she was right now. "Now that I think about it, I really wish I had Piplup and the rest of my Pokémon with me."
"Yeah, I know how you feel" came Sherry's voice as she came to check up on the bluenette from Sinnoh, wanting to make sure she's doing alright so far since it seemed May and Serena were quickly starting to give in to their respective Pokémon nature which not only worried her but Ash as well. "I mean if I still had my Pokémon, then things would be a bit easier for us and especially given how Ash and Serena too were separated from theirs."
"Great…" muttered Dawn, it was bad enough that she lost her Pokémon but the fact Ash, Serena and Sherry were separated from their Pokémon too only made things worse. "I'm just hoping Team Rocket didn't take them because I was glad to have not seen those three since I parted ways with Ash and Brock."
Sherry remained silent, she only knew of Jessie, James and Meowth from what Ash told her which included how they would stop at nothing to accomplish their goal for Giovanni which applied to other members of Team Rocket as well. "I highly doubt it would be that easy, especially as Ash told me he was separated from his Pokémon before, an example he could think of is when he and his friends Brock and Misty were stranded on an island alongside the three you mentioned with giant Pokémon due to a group of Gyarados using Dragon Rage on them" she explained to the girl from Twinleaf Town as she had to admit that the new girl so to speak was kinda cute though immediately shook that thought out of her head thinking it was the infection talking. "Turns out the giant Pokémon were actually giant robots, and it was after being reunited with their Pokémon that they learned it."
Dawn was a bit surprised, and this was something Ash and Brock never mentioned to her during their travels in Sinnoh or even when she reunited with Ash in Unova prior to the Pokémon World Tournament Junior Cup starting. "Okay, I never knew that," she said, unsure of what to say and yet she's relieved Ash, Brock and Misty weren't seriously hurt when they got stranded on that island. "Then again, Ash and Brock never actually brought it up to me."
"Can you blame them? Even more so given how Ash usually forgets a lot of things that didn't relate to traveling, catching Pokémon or collecting badges" Sherry replied to Dawn as she sighed, though it was clear that so far there hadn't been a sign of the trio chasing Ash lately anyway so that could be seen as a blessing. "Plus I'm sure the three Team Rocket members I learned about might have already been infected or are trying to find a safe place such as their base of operations."
"Maybe, but we usually don't always get lucky when it comes to Team Rocket coming down our doorstep at just the right moment" Dawn told Sherry, given her experience with Jessie, James and Meowth along with the fact their primary targets were Ash and Pikachu given how she never saw them again after the journey with Ash and Brock through Sinnoh concluded though she suspected the same could be said for May following the Wallace Cup and even after the Battle Frontier events in Kanto, then there's Misty past Johto, and after she, Ash and Brock had to deal with not just the trio, but a group called the Invincible Pokémon Brothers at Viridian City as well. "Odds are we might see them again sooner than we think."
"It could be that it's also hard for him to talk about his old adventures," Sherry began as she frowned a little and looked over to Dawn who looked confused. "I mean, the way he talks about this Misty girl."
Dawn was soon silent and knew that in away Sherry was right and remembered how protective Ash had been of the lure that he didn't want her to use it, which only made Dawn smile but she looked at her own transformed body in the nearby mirror. "Ash has missed her."
Sherry looked at Dawn and had a feeling she was right but knew Ash was also worried for Misty and that she might become infected like they had all been infected. "Yeah but sadly sooner or later Ash may go after her."
"Why do you say that?" Dawn asked as she looked at Sherry knowing that she knew the most about this infection that caused them all to change into hybrids.
At that very moment, Ash also arrived hearing what Dawn and Sherry said, and he needed to know the last thing that he wanted to do was infect Misty and his mother and who knows how many other people with this virus. "Sherry, what do you mean?"
Both Dawn and Sherry looked at Ash and saw that neither May nor Serena is with Ash right now which made them both a little worried right now for their two girls. "Hey, Ash so how's May and Serena doing right now?" Dawn asked looking at Ash hoping that the answer was useful.
"They still want us three to give up and let go of our human side right now," Ash said as he gave a sigh looking at them both knowing that neither May and Serena wanted to hurt Dawn Sherry or Ash. "But Sherry I need to know what you said to Dawn about me going after Misty."
Sherry remained silent, more so hoping that she wouldn't need to tell him but part of her wanted to do so because of how strong the virus was at this moment. "You knew Misty for a very long time, at least from what you mentioned about this Misty," she started to speak as she was secretly hoping Misty would not find them because her mission would be for nothing if she too got infected. "And you usually talk about her the most out of all your companions."
This made Ash frown, mainly as it was somewhat accurate that he mentioned Misty the most given how she had helped him in becoming the Trainer he was before the whole infection problem. "Yeah, what exactly does that mean?" he asked with concern forming on his face regarding the talk earlier before he arrived.
"Given how defensive you were when it came to me, May, Dawn and Serena you might end up thinking Misty might be an enemy or a possible mate for you" explained Sherry, wanting to be as thorough as possible given how she had actually gone through a similar situation herself. "I should know, at one point I ended up attacking someone when I first got infected and actually ended up killing them before I realised what had happened…"
Ash and Dawn couldn't believe what they were hearing. "Y-You actually killed someone?" he asked, praying that Sherry was making it up though he noticed the girl lowering her head in shame and sadness since it proved to be anything but a joke. I just hope it wasn't someone Dawn and I know…
"Oh my god…" muttered Dawn, still in shock at learning what Sherry had done even though it wasn't actually her fault as she mentioned it happening when she was first infected by the virus. "Was it a Pokémon Trainer?"
"I think so, one of his Pokémon actually came out… a Froslass I believe, and she tried to stop me only to be overpowered and knocked out" Sherry started to feel tears dripping from her eyes, she never once ever taken another person's life and the fact it was the first time she ever did so made her more traumatised than ever before. "It seemed she was trying to protect her trainer and commented that while he was a jerk, he actually did care for her ever since the Sinnoh League…"
It didn't take long before Ash and Dawn realised who it was given the Froslass and the fact her trainer was initially a jerk until the Sinnoh League. "The trainer you killed, it was Paul wasn't it?" Ash was the first to speak upon having figured out that Paul, his former rival from Sinnoh, was the trainer whom Sherry murdered out of the influence of the virus.
Ash and Dawn were both shocked at hearing this from Sherry as they looked at each other, neither knowing what they could say to each other right now hearing that Paul was dead and while neither of the two got on well with Paul. Hearing that he had been killed shocked them both at Sherry killed him, and Ash could see that the guilt of her killing someone was eating her up inside, so Ash moved next to her before sitting next to her.
Sherry looked at Ash seeing he wanted to comfort her for what she had done, and without warning, Ash pulled Sherry into a hug, which only shocked the Pachirisu hybrid. "Its okay Sherry this wasn't your fault it's the one who made the virus in the first place," Ash said as he rubbed her back doing all he could to ease the pain she was currently going through.
Dawn looked at Sherry and knew she was in pain after killing Paul and like Ash she knew that Sherry didn't mean to kill him and she placed a hand on Sherry should feeling her white fur on her own hands, and Dawn knew it was odd but cute as well. "Sherry fur feels nice; I wonder how Ash's own fur feels," Dawn thought as she soon shook her head as her eyes went wide in fear.
"Sherry we shall find a cure for this and I know we can all go back to our lives I mean we have to have hope that someone is looking for a cure," Ash said as he looked at Dawn and Sherry with a smile having faith that this could be undone.
Sherry only looked at Ash seeing that he still believed there could be a cure, but she knew better being one of the first victims. "Ash even if they did make a cure it could be a long time not to mention all the ones who have been infected will make sure all humans become hybrids as well."
"That's why we need to keep on fighting to make sure we keep our humanity for as long as we can Sherry, Me you and Dawn" Ash said as he looked at Sherry and then he looked at Dawn and smiled at the girl from Sinnoh.
Dawn, however, was more worried about the thought she had a while ago knowing she was starting to love her new hybrid body. "No, it happening to me too," Dawn though in fear knowing that she was starting to lose her human mind. "I have to keep fighting this for as long as I can."
Sherry gave a sigh and nodded her head she knew this must be why the girls that she had seen so far all loved Ash as she soon had a smile on her face. "Well, I think I can see why the girls you travelled with love you now Ash," Sherry said as she looked at Ash who was a little shocked at what Sherry just told him.
Dawn laughed at this and had to agree with Sherry as she was happy the blonde hair Pachirisu hybrid brought this up to Ash. "Sherry does have a good point Ash" Dawn added as she was now looking at Ash with a smile on her own brown furry face. "Who knows how many girls love you, well apart from May and Serena that is."
Ash wasn't sure what to say; however, there was something that needed to be brought up regarding the girls who he has travelled with up until this point. "Yeah, but Iris and Bonnie are the only exceptions to what you just said" he replied, especially as most of the time during his travels with Iris and Cilan, even before the green-haired Connoisseur joined them on their journey in Unova and the Decolore Islands, usually there were instances where Iris would call the raven-haired young man a kid for even the simplest mistakes. "Iris fell in love with Cilan and vice versa, whereas Bonnie is too young though she tries her to get beautiful girls to be the future wife of her older brother Clemont much to his dismay."
Dawn and Sherry were a bit surprised, that was one thing they never actually known about until Ash brought it up. "Oh, I had no idea" began the bluenette with a frown, then again she noticed Iris didn't necessarily have feelings for Ash during the Sinnoh born Trainer's temporary stay with the group in Unova especially for the Pokémon World Tournament Junior Cup plus Iris' Dragonite was really powerful as her Mamoswine didn't stand a chance against him despite the Type Advantage. "Especially on the fact Iris has feelings for Clemont and the fact this girl Bonnie is kinda similar to Brock, only he personally likes to flirt with pretty girls as I remember back in Sinnoh."
The new girl didn't know what to say and then realised something as Dawn happened to have been a girl who travelled with Ash at one point or another too. "Wait a minute, you travelled with Ash when you started out as a trainer right?" she asked, getting the attention of the blue-haired girl.
"Yes… why are you asking me?"
"Given how I mentioned before how all of the girls, well almost all of them, that travelled with Ash apparently love him…" began Sherry, a smile forming on her face as she decided to ask Dawn regarding her own relationship with Ash. "I have to wonder, do you love him?"
This question caught Ash and Dawn entirely off guard, even more so Dawn as she became flustered by the question Sherry also asked. "Uh, don't you think it's a little personal?" she asked back of the new girl.
Ash didn't know what to say; especially given how he never noticed any sort of affection towards him then again he never noticed any of the girls he travelled with during his journey prior to the infection show such. "Come on; you can tell me" Sherry replied to her new friend, becoming even more curious than ever on if Dawn was the case herself, unlike Iris and Bonnie.
"Well…" Dawn felt her cheeks turning bright pink, thinking carefully on what to tell Sherry as she still thought the question was a bit personal and it was something not even Kenny, Ursula or Zoey would pry on. "My Bunneary likes Ash's Pikachu, then again she likes May's Glaceon despite the fact Glaceon was a female Pokémon herself ever since first meeting her at Sinnoh prior to the Wallace Cup. Kinda weird huh…"
"That's interesting it must be she somehow knows that both she and Glaceon like Pikachu," Sherry said with a smile on her face, hoping that their Pokémon were all safe with each other right now, but she didn't want to worry them.
Ash only sighed deeply knowing that they might not know and trying to look for them would make things complicated, he also knew that thanks to this infection the ones who had been infected and even succumb to it were looking to infect many others.
Sherry knew their time was running out, in only a matter of day they would become just like May, Serena and the many others that had become hybrids. "Look we just have to make the most time we have left before we become crazy and wild."
Dawn only huffed at this not liking what she would end up like seeing it firsthand already and looked at her reflection, she and Ash needed to know when and what signs Sherry could tell them about when they started to lose their human minds. "Sherry, how can we tell this will happen?"
"Well from what little I know the first sign is that you like your new body," Sherry said as she looked to Ash who had a frown on his face as he looked at his own Lucario form that he had, Dawn, however, eyes went wide with fear.
She had already entered the first stage in liking her new form and knew this was only the start, but as much as Dawn wanted to tell both Ash and Sherry what was going on with her, the blue hair girl knew that she didn't want to worry them.
Sherry, on the other hand, continued with what will happen to them. "Sometimes it hits you all in one go just like it did with Serena, others minds are changed right away with their transformation. But for us, well it could take time, after all, we shall start liking our new bodies we will over time not want to get changed back."
Ash hated this knowing in time all three would lose who they are and in a way become wild creatures that didn't care what they used to be, and this worried him knowing that many more will fail victim to this stupid damn virus.
Sherry could see how angry Ash was right now, and she knew that he wanted to find the one who had made this virus in the first place. "Ash don't, whoever made this is most likely long gone, and who knows what they are trying to do."
Ash looked over to Sherry as she placed her hand on his and he could see the worry that was in her eyes right now and knew she was concerned for her new friend. "I know that, but the fact is we shall lose who we are."
Sherry nodded at this and rubbed her blonde hair. "I know, but we still remember everything about us, what makes us who we are the ones we love and our memories all stay the same, we only will want to stay like this."
Ash nodded knowing Sherry was right from what he had seen in both May and Serena both girls were still the same in their own new strange way, but he knew it still wasn't right. And Ash knew that both hybrid girls were still up in their room talking on who knows what, maybe how to get all of them to let go or the human minds and be free like they are free.
This, however, was something that none of them could let happen, they would all keep fighting to keep their human minds for as long as possible.
A/N Well another chapter is now completed with Anabel showing up, and yes she will be another one of Ash's mates along with Lillie all three girls will become infected in due time I don't want to rush the changes after all.
Ash for Dawn yes she has begun to lose her human mind now, how long will she last you might all be asking, I can't say that as it would give out spoilers, after all, there will be more lemons with Ash and his other mates to be just not yet.
As for other girls that will join Ash's Harem that many of you have asked for him, I have heard it, and I'm considering on the ones you have wanted that Ash gets the one asked for the most right now is Anabel, so I will confirm that she will join his Harem.
Anyway once again I do hope that you all enjoyed the chapter took a little longer then I would have liked thanks to the heat we have been having, I hope that I will be able to update faster next time, but until next time please leave me a review and I will also try to answer any questions you may have too.
