A/N, Here we are with another chapter; I am happy you all loved the last chapter's twist. As you can all remember, Ash has regained his or her human mind, but can this help save the ones still in the forest.
Now I think I will have two endings for this story a good ending where they are all saved and become human again and the darker ending. That way, you, the readers, can pick the conclusion you love the most since this is also ironic because my other story, Pokémon: Symphony of the Night, would also have a good ending and a bad ending. I need to get that story worked on again at some point.
Anyway, I think I will answer some of the Guest reviews that I got from the last chapter.
Duck: Will I be making a slime girl story? I have plans for one thanks to some friends that want to help me, but it will be a while before I start that story since I am still busy.
Pokémon fan: Thanks for the review; I am happy that you, like Zoey, joined Ash's Harem, now will they become human again? I am planning two endings for this story.
NEW OC TO ADD: Hey, I'm sorry if I haven't gotten the chance to answer your review. I am now; I like your OC idea to be with Clemont, so I will try to add Yvonne as a Houndoom Hybrid that's after him.
Guest: Don't worry as you shall see, Ash is back, and will the others save their friends, as I have said before, this story will have two endings.
Anyway, enjoy the chapter.
Chapter: 11 A glimmer of hope
Ash was still shocked as the young trainer knew what had happened and what she had transformed into a Pikachu girl. Everything had come back to her, and Ash didn't like any of it, knowing she had changed many of them into hybrids.
Currently, the Pikachu girl was looking at her mates and noticed they are all sleeping. Ash sighed as she saw their Pokémon had changed as well, and she didn't want to think what she might have done with them. "What am I going to do?" Ash said as she looked at her hands and then at May and the others.
Ash knew that they are most likely are now pregnant; she even looked at her yellow hands. "This stupid forest did this to us," Ash said with a deep frown. "I need to find Anabel and even my other friends. Maybe I can help them leave," Ash said with a whisper as the Pikachu girl got to her feet. "But I need to find them first."
"Hmm, Ashley, where are you going this late?" Ash soon stopped as he heard Misty's voice and looked back to the Azumarill girl, seeing the smile on her face.
Ash was shocked to see Misty was now awake and began to grow worried. She still had no idea what Misty might do if she realized that she no longer thought like the others. "And I can't let that happen," Ash thought now frowning.
"Aww, and what's wrong with that," spoke the voice that tried to get Ash to stay the way the others are currently acting. "You were all so happy before that silly mind of yours came back. So, what do you say, Ashley, why don't you just go back to how you were before?"
Ash only ignored the voice as she looked at Misty, seeing the confused look on her face as the Pikachu girl noticed that May was also starting to wake up now.
"What's going on?" May asked, rubbing her eyes as she looked to see that Ashley was leaving. "Ashley, where are you going?"
Misty smiled, seeing her sister mate as she moved over to kiss May a loving kiss. "It's what I asked her before you woke up," Misty said as she smiled at the Glaceon girl.
Ash watched could only watch the two seeing the kiss they both shared; neither seemed to care, as both hybrids looked to Ash, thinking she had the mind as they still did. All Ash knew was right now; she needed to come up with a lie before they decided to ask her again. "Oh, I was going to see if I could find Anabel them make her join us," Ash said with a smile as she looked at the two hoping that had taken the lie.
As Ash waited to see what Misty and May would say, she looked around, making sure the other wouldn't wake up from their slumber. "Can I save them?" Ash thought, looking at the sleeping girls around him. "Can we even change back?"
Sadly Ash had no idea, but she tried to make sure it didn't show on her face. However, the Pikachu girl continued to look at May and Misty and watched as both girls smiled, hearing that she was going after Anabel.
The two soon rushed over to their mate, hugging Ash, who was immediately shocked by this sudden action from the two. "Well, that's good to hear then, Ashley," May said as she smiled and then looked to Misty.
Misty giggled and nodded at this, knowing she wanted to get a chance to meet this Anabel. "Well, I can't wait until she joins our growing family," Misty said with glee in her voice.
Feeling the same as her lover May nodded; she was getting excited as well, as the Glaceon girl soon looked up to Ashley. "Make sure that you bring her back to us, Ashley. I know that once she becomes like us, she shall see how good it is becoming like this."
"Hmm, thinking about what she could become is turning me on as well," Misty said, knowing that once Anabel changed, they still had so many things to do.
Looking at Misty, the Glaceon girl nodded as she looked at the sleeping Serena and Lillie. "Yeah, there is still Tracey out there too," May added, knowing that they needed to find him.
"Hmm, your right May, maybe Lisa and Carol might know someone for Tracey; what her name will be after she changes, we can leave that up to whoever she mates with," Misty said, smiling.
Ash took notice of that, knowing it was something else he needed to do, and remembered that Team Rocket was also here in the forest. "Just how many people are in here that I know?"
Ash was soon abruptly cut off from thinking this as she let out a moan and looked down to see what was going on when she noticed Misty and May. The two hybrids looked at her with smiles while playing with her breasts, while she let out another cry of pleasure.
"What are you two doing?" Ash asked with a moan in her voice and was growing worried they had found out she regained her mind. "What will I do if they do know I have my mind back?" Ash thought, with the fear growing more inside her with each passing second.
The two only smiled as they looked up to Ash, and the Pikachu girl looked deep within their eyes, wanting to find any trace that they knew something was wrong. "Oh, nothing, Ashley," Misty said with a loving smile as she kissed her lover's lips.
"We just wanted to get a nice kiss before you leave to get Anabel," May added as she continued playing with the Pikachu girl's breasts. "After all, it's not like they can leave this forest."
Ash smiled at this, knowing she was still safe from getting found out. "That was too close," she thought and was glad that neither Misty nor May knew she had her mind. "I need to go..." she began to tell them, but the two stopped Ash.
"Hmm, not yet, Ashley, not yet," Misty said as she pushed the Pikachu girl to the ground, and Ash found herself on her back with Misty sitting on her stomach.
Ash was now blushing as she looked up at Misty and could see her still having the same smile on her face. "Mist...?" Ash asked, wondering what she wanted with her right now.
"Don't worry, Ashley," May said with a giggle in her voice as Ash could see she was now behind Misty before the Glaceon girl grabbed Misty's breasts.
The Glaceon girl also giggled, while Misty was moaning at what her lover was doing. "Hmm, May, that feels so good," Misty moaned in pleasure, feeling what May was doing to her.
Ash was still shocked by what she was watching and knew they wanted to have some fun before she left to get Anabel to help her escape the forest. "What, no come, Misty, May come on I need to go and get Anabel so she can join us," Ash tried to tell the two.
However, the two looked at their lover with a smile as May moved down and kissed the Pikachu girl. Ash was shocked by this kiss that the Glaceon girl was giving her with Misty still sitting on top.
"Aww, come on Ashley, we have no idea how long it's going to take for you to find Anabel," Misty said with a smile, watching as May continued kissing Ashley. "So, relax Ashley, and enjoy the fun."
At another part of the forest, a slender young girl with tanned skin, long green hair kept in two vaguely plant-shaped twin-tails and light green eyes was now starting to feel exhausted as she made her way down the deep dark path. One of her most noticeable features was the fake pink flower in her hair, which she held in place with one green vine-like strap, with two plant accents. Clothing-wise, she was wearing a pink tube top, with light gray overalls with spiky white frills, a white clover-shaped mark on the waist.
"I don't like this place," she said to herself, wishing she had something or someone there to protect her right now as the greenette was becoming more and more afraid the longer she remained in this place.
She still remembered the moment when her Pokémon was stolen from her by something in the shadows and couldn't do anything as it moved away so far that she watched in disbelief at she had been left all alone. "I hope you're okay, Bounsweet; I don't know what to do if anything were to happen to you," she said again as she feared something terrible had happened to her Pokémon and felt even more helpless than ever.
Part of the girl wished she was back home right now, helping with the usual housework like any other day and mentally wondered why she was convinced to come to this place, to begin with, though she could blame her willingness to see different places after all. "Huh?' she wondered as she soon heard rustling nearby, and she became slightly worried. "Hello? Who's there?"
Nothing happened for a moment making the greenette sigh before eventually hearing the noise once again, and she looked in the direction it came from, noticing that a bush close to her was starting to move. She remained silent as she observed the bush and wondered mainly to herself what it was, with multiple questions floating into her head all at once. On the other hand, the greenette was all alone, and there's no sign of anyone who could maybe even provide any assistance should whatever it was a threat.
There was nervousness coming over her entire body, but she needed to be brave, for all she knew, it could just be a wild Pokémon that needed some help. Still, she had to be careful since there's the chance it could also be hostile even towards a human trying to give it treatment. "Hey, it's okay… I'm not going to hurt you or anything."
It didn't take long before the head of a somewhat short and skinny girl popped out, which caught her by surprise. The other girl had tan skin, brown eyes, and knee-length, puffy purple hair kept in a huge loose ponytail. She wore a cream-colored top with a pink collar and cuffs, a puffy pink miniskirt with a slit on the left side, and a big ribbon over it, white leggings that at the end were yellow-colored ends at the legs, and pink and white yellow-strapped shoes with no socks. "Whoa!" exclaimed the green-haired girl before falling onto her rear.
The other girl was just as shocked as she was starting to feel some Déjà vu going through her entire being. "What the hell?!" she yelled, remembering how she first met Ash back in the Unova region when he thought she was a Pokémon that he tried to capture. Okay, she understood why he was confused since Axew had been inside her hair the entire time, but she still wasn't exactly happy with the fact a Poké Ball from someone she just met back then hit her on the head. "Don't scare me like that! I thought you were maybe another hostile and deadly hybrid Pokémon! Now that I think of it, just who are you anyway?"
"I was just about to ask you the same thing!"
"Iris!" the two girls heard a male voice nearby as they saw a tall and slender young man with slicked-back chartreuse green hair with a four-pointed tuft that stuck up and grass green eyes. He wore a long-sleeved white shirt under a black waistcoat with two large gold buttons. The young man also wore black straight trousers with a black belt and flat brown shoes with golden buckles. He also wore a green bowtie, which corresponded with his hair and eye color.
With him was a slender young woman with shiny lilac-colored hair that's also tied into a ponytail with a black ribbon, purple eyes with small eyelashes, and thin eyebrows. Her outfit consisted of tight black skinny fit pants, matching black shoes, black gloves with gray bumps on them, and a black-tie with a white shirt underneath. She also had what appeared to be a communication device in her ear and a Pokémon that accompanied her. "You need to be more careful, Iris," informed the lilac-haired woman with a frown on her face.
"Anabel's right," added the green-haired young man with relief on his face, mostly since there was a chance that they could've encountered the ones who took their Pokémon from them. "What if you ended up in a situation you can't get yourself out of Iris? Remember, you don't have any of your Pokémon with you right now. And you call Ash the kid?"
Iris soon frowned when hearing this from this new girl. "Look, I'm sorry… I thought that Axew and our other Pokémon were near this area, so I wanted to make sure they were okay," she said to the two with an apologetic expression. "Guess I was wrong since I found this girl instead."
"Wait, a girl?"
"Yes, part of me was glad that it wasn't the ones who took our Pokémon," Iris replied to Anabel as she turned towards the still speechless greenette. "Then again, I'm also glad that it's not Team Rocket as I still can't believe those three are still around even after all the times they've got defeated by us."
"Huh? Team Rocket?" asked the green-haired girl with a somewhat confused expression on her face, having no idea what Iris was talking about, never hearing about them. "Who are they?"
"We'll explain later," answered Anabel as it was clear that they never got a chance to introduce themselves since it was their first-time meeting, even if they had a situation on their hands. "What's your name?"
"Mallow," said the new girl, taking some time to think this through although she could tell that the three who were in front of her didn't seem to be bad people. "My name is Mallow."
The lilac-haired young female took a glance at Mallow, examining her from head to her and especially since there's something else about the green-haired that seemed to pipe her interest, which caused her to smile. "You don't seem to be from this region, are you? Then again, neither are the three of us," she said while patting the head of her Espeon.
"That's because I came from the Alola region with my father and brother."
"Alola?" wondered Cilan, neither he nor Iris were familiar with that name as they had just been seeing what Kalos was like before they reunited with Ash to see how he had been doing. Even Anabel was just as intrigued when she learned where Mallow came from and wanted to know more. "It's not a region I've ever heard of before."
Mallow nodded, and she was about to tell them when they heard the giggles coming close by; Mallow could already tell that something was wrong with how the three reacted. "What's the matter, you three? It's like you know what that is. I've been hearing this for a while now. Do you know what it is?"
Iris scoffed at this as she nodded. "Yeah, we do, and let me tell you it's nothing good, Mallow," Iris said as she and Cilan sighed, looking to the girl. "Let me guess your Pokémon are missing, right?"
Mallow was surprised by this, but she nodded as Anabel sighed and turned around, showing her growing tail and the purple fur on her stomach.
"What's happening to you?" Mallow cried in fear, seeing that this wasn't right, and looked at her body to see if she was changing.
Anabel looked at the girl while the giggling continued around them. "It's this cursed forest. It's changing us into hybrids," Anabel said, hoping to leave this place before she changes anymore. "The longer we stay here, the more we change."
Mallow didn't like this as she now wanted to find her Pokémon even more than before. "It's not only that this forest it changes males into females as well," Iris said, remembering what happened to Ash.
"What about our Pokémon?" Mallow asked, wanting to find her Bounsweet even more after learning what's going on here.
"They have changed too," a voice told the four making Anabel tense hearing who was speaking.
Mallow was the only one confused as she looked at the Pikachu girl wearing a hat standing before them. "Ash," Anabel said, looking at the hybrid.
"That's what we will become!" Mallow cried out in fear as she looked at the Pikachu girl while taking a step back in fear.
Iris nodded as she was also looking around with Cilan; they knew that they had to make sure. "What do you want, Ashley?" Iris asked as she glanced at the Pikachu girl.
For a while, Ash said nothing looking around before speaking up to the four. "I want to help you get out of here."
Meanwhile, Team Rocket had stopped to rest and spotted something in the distance. "Wait, look," Jessie said, seeing a Blissey hybrid along with Rockruff hybrid.
The two female hybrids were currently kissing each other one of the grunts took out something as the trio wondered what it was or even did. "Hey, so what's that thing?" Meowth asked, looking at what the grunt was holding.
The grunt scoffed as he smiled a little. "This helps determine if the two we are looking at used to be human or used to be a Pokémon," he told the three as both hybrids were soon without them even knowing it scanned.
"Well," the female grunt began with a smile on her face as she looked at both the Blissey and Rockruff hybrids. "It seems that the Rockruff girl used to be a human male,"
Jessie James and Meowth were in total shock hearing this, as their attention was then drawn back to the two hybrids kissing each other. "Wait, are you saying that thing used to be male?" Jessie said, shocked and also horrified.
"Hmm, Brook," the Blissey said with a smile as the girl Brook smiled as she continued to kiss her.
The Rockruff girl called Brook from what Jessie James and Meowth heard the Blissey say. "Hmm, I'm so happy to have become like this, my dear Blissey," Brook said as she went back to kissing her.
"I know this is the best thing to have happened to us, Brook. Unlike when you used to be the human Brock, you could never find a girl, but here," Blissey said with a happy glee in her voice. "Here, such things don't matter."
The trio was in utter shock hearing this as they had no idea that this Rockruff girl was, in fact, Brock, one of the trainers who had ruined their plans so often.
"Sir, what should we do with them?" A female grunt said, looking at the two hybrids in question."
This whole time, the leader said nothing watching this, knowing that Giovanni would want to know this, but he could see the trio's reactions. "So, tell me you know that one, don't you?"
"Yes, we do," Jessie said, not sure what else to say, knowing that maybe the others are here in this forest too.
The leader only laughed at this, knowing the reports that they get from a group of young trainers that always seem to destroy all the plans Team Rocket has. "Oh, how wonderful," he said, laughing at this news.
The trio soon looked at the squad leader who they still didn't what his name was as this man just laughed at this. "Hey, what's so funny?" Meowth asked, knowing that while the twerps are their enemies, they didn't want this happening to them.
"Oh, don't you see," he began with a dark smile on his face looking at the two female hybrids. "If this Brock former Gym Leader of Pewter City has changed, that means all the others might have suffered the same fate too."
The trio didn't like this, and right now, they wanted to leave this forest even more; they could already hear the moans coming from the two hybrids.
"I think it's time to see if hybrids can get captured as well, but I think we shall wait until her former Pokémon show up," the leader said while pointing over to Brook.
"Yes, as you wish, sir," the female grunt said with the same smile on her face as well.
The trio soon looked at each other, knowing that whatever might happen to Ash and the others wouldn't be anything good if they got captured. The three looked at each other, still having concerned looks on their faces.
"Wait, hold on, what did you just say, Ash?" Iris asked, wanting to make sure that this wasn't a trap. "This has to be some sort of trap," Iris said, backing away from the Pikachu girl.
Cilan felt the same this might be something new to get them, but he also looked at how Ash was also concerned. "She doesn't have that look of lust on her. Does this mean..."
Anabel only looked at the Pikachu girl as she smiled weakly. "It's you, isn't Ash?" Anabel asked as the Pikachu girl nodded, shocking both Iris and Cilan.
"Yes," Ash said, hoping that she can save them. "I don't know how or why I have my mind back, but I want to help you all leave before it's too late for you."
"Still, can't we do something to help you?" asked Cilan with a frown on his face wanting to help Ash. "There has to be something that we can do?"
However, Mallow was still feeling uneasy at seeing the newcomer, knowing there might be a chance that she could potentially attack them when they least expected it. Still, she had to admit that the Pikachu girl was surprisingly rather cute. "I mean, we are friends after all, and we've been through similar situations like this before back in Unova and the Decolore Islands."
"But this isn't like those instances," explained Ash with a frown on her face as it looked like things were slowly starting to go from bad to worse the longer they remained here. "What if you three get transformed when trying to help me out? Or even worse, what I suddenly lose my mind again?"
"That's a risk we're going to have to take," explained Iris with a stern expression on her face as she glanced at Ash. "You need to stop acting like a little kid and understand that not everything can be solved by yourself after all."
Ash sighed the moment she heard Iris calling her a kid again. "Guess some things never change," she said to herself then turned towards Mallow, who found herself blushing with embarrassment the moment she noticed her. Seeing this made the Pikachu girl somewhat confused, even though she did find the greenette to be a cutie herself before immediately shaking those thoughts. "Who are you?"
Before Mallow could say a word, Anabel decided to speak up on her behalf. "Her name's Mallow, a girl whom Iris, Cilan, and I just encountered while trying to make our way out of the forest and even look for their missing Pokémon," the former Frontier Brain explained to Ash. "She, her older brother, and their father all came from a region called Alola; at least that's what we heard before you came along."
"N-Nice to meet you," began Mallow, still unsure of what to say to Ash or what to make of her given the greenette having mixed feelings regarding the Pikachu girl in question.
"The Alola region, huh? I may need to see what it's like once this whole thing we're dealing with is over with, and my journey through Kalos comes to an end," said Ash, starting to take an interest in seeing what Alola was like even despite her current predicament but first things first. "Anyway, it's nice to meet you too, Mallow."
'You know, there might be a reason as to why your mind suddenly returned to normal.'
Everyone turned towards Anabel's Espeon, now looking at Ash with curiosity on her face. She remembered her previous encounter with the then young man when he challenged the Battle Frontier in the Kanto region. "What do you mean?" wondered Iris, somewhat confused by what the Psychic-Type Eeveelution was talking about looking at her.
"I think what she's trying to say is that Ash here apparently has a power that you're all probably unaware of it. Although my Psychic-Types and I were surprised when we first learned what it was back in Kanto during our meeting with him," explained Anabel, reflecting on the fact she secretly read Ash's mind. She learned of his experiences with a power and a Pokémon connected to said power. A shame that he never bothered to try and train to properly utilize said power, especially as it might have been the very reason why the Pikachu girl was thinking like herself again. "It's called Aura."
Mallow, Iris, and Cilan were left dumbfounded the moment she revealed this, and Ash started scratching the back of her head the moment that Anabel had brought it up. "You know, I forgot that I even had this power…" she said, even though there were a lot of other things she honestly has forgotten all about during her time traveling through the Pokémon World. Still, then another thought came to her mind as she looked at Anabel. "Wait, how do you know about it?"
"Well…" Anabel blushed and put on an emotionless mask as she looked away from Ash. "I just read your mind, kinda like I did when we first met, that's all."
"I see," frowned Ash, somewhat confused with the way Anabel was acting but decided not to pry on it.
On the other hand, Anabel had previously also read Mallow's mind when she saw the way she looked at Ash with uneasiness and curiosity as if she was starting to take a liking to him upon first glance. "For now, let's focus on the task at hand" she immediately decided to change the topic before anyone got the wrong idea. "Like perhaps may be trying to find the Pokémon that were stolen and get them and anyone else still in the forest out of here."
"It's already too late for that," said Ash, knowing that Mallow, Iris, Cilan, and Anabel needed to be sure of this themselves since there's a chance her two companions from Unova were going to be devastated when hearing the news. "Our Pokémon have been transformed into hybrid girls themselves, not sure if all of them suffered this fate, but I know Pikachu, Glaceon, and Buneary did, unfortunately."
"Wait, wait, wait! Are you saying that this forest not only does it affect people but also Pokémon as well?!"
Everyone turned towards Mallow, the girl they just met as she looked utterly horrified when hearing the news, not that Ash blamed her. "Yes, especially as a girl named Lisa tried to help me before we ended up completely succumbing to the transformation," she explained to the greenette with a look of concern on her face.
There was nothing but silence coming from everyone present, especially Iris and Cilan. Some of the Pokémon belonging to the others were now also transformed like people were then. "What about the others?" the green-haired male Connoisseur asked, hoping the others at least managed to survive for this long, and the group would be able to find them soon.
"About that… they were sadly also transformed too," Ash said to Cilan sadly. "Some of them became like this because of me as well; I contributed to it."
"You don't mean?" Iris started speaking but couldn't even finish her sentence as she saw the grim expression that Ash had and slowly fell to her knees with tears now began slowly forming in her eyes. "Damn it!"
Ash hated this looking at Iris and the others, knowing it was hard on all of them to hear this. Still, it was something that they needed to know. "Yeah, I'm sorry, Iris. I think they were all changed before any of us started to change."
"I hate this stupid forest," Iris said, frowning doing all she could to hold back the tears. "I hate that we could end up like the others," Iris said, losing her Pokémon and knowing what they could be like now.
Cilan hated seeing Iris like this as he pulled the dark-skinned girl from Unova into a hug. "How come we haven't changed yet?" Cilan asked as he looked at Anabel, seeing her changes, but he hadn't seen any with him or Iris.
Ash sighed; she knew that there is a chance that the changes to them were happening, but neither of them could see it. "Well, you might already be changing but don't know it," Ash said with a frown.
Iris and Cilan looked at Ash, both going white, and Mallow became worried about hearing this from the Pikachu girl. "Can't we just stop what is causing us to change?" Mallow asked, but she knew that there might be a chance this couldn't get fixed.
Anabel knew that Mallow had a valid point. "Hmm, if we can't change anyone back, we could try getting their minds back," Anabel thought as she cried in pain.
"Anabel!" The three humans cried, watching what was happening to the young women seeing her ears had shifted as the others watched in concern.
"Ahh," Anabel cried once more as she covered her new ears and looked at the three. "Please don't scream like that again," she told the three as she used her hand to feel her new ears.
"You're becoming an Espeon from the looks of it," Ash said, wanting to get the other out of here and fast. The Pikachu girl then remembered that Tracey was here within the forest, making Ash curse out that she almost forgot about another friend. "Damn it, I forgot about Tracey as well."
"Look, how about we find what is changing you," Anabel said as she placed a hand on Ash's shoulder and noticed that Ash was now crying.
"Ash," Iris and Cilan asked, seeing that something had upset the Pikachu girl, but they wondered what caused this.
"What's the matter?" Mallow then asked, hearing the hybrid girl crying and felt sorry for her.
Ash continued to cry, knowing this was thanks to her new female body as she looked at her hands and then to the others. "Look at me, how can I head home? What will mom say?" Ash asked, placing her hands in her face before sitting on the ground.
Seeing and sensing how upset Ash was, Anabel made her way to Ash sitting next to the Pikachu girl. "I'm sure no matter what, she will love you, Ash, you, her son."
"I was her son," Ash said with a sniff. "But look at what I have done to the other May, Dawn, Misty, Serena, this girl called Lille I've had a hand in changing all of them or making them lose their minds."
"We can get them back, Ash, I know we can," Cilan said, wanting to cheer Ash up, to show him that there had to be some hope in undoing what has happened to everyone.
"No, we can't. It's worse than you think," Ash said as she sighed, standing to her feet. "This forest it did something new to me."
"New, what do you mean?" Iris asked as from what she found out so far; it looked like nothing had changed.
Ash sighed at this as she looked at Iris. "Look, I'm not even sure, but after I changed, and so did Misty, the two us wanted a family that's when," Ash said as she began blushing, thinking back to what she did.
"After all, I did it to both May and Misty before coming here," Ash thought as she blushed even more, as she was still shocked.
"Umm, Ash?" Anabel asked, seeing the distant look on Ash's face, but she sensed something else. "Wait, Ash didn't, but how?"
Snapping out from her thoughts, Ash looked at the three, knowing her mind had wandered a little when thinking about Misty and May. "Right, sorry, look somehow. I grew what was needed to get my mates pregnant, and all of them are."
The three were shocked to hear this as they looked at each other, unsure what to think, but they then looked at Ash. "Ash, is there anything else?" Anabel asked, after all, she knows the more information they had, the better.
"Yes," Ash began as she knew that Team Rocket was here as well, but from what Lisa and Carol said, they are not the ones that have caused humans and Pokémon to change. "Team Rocket is also here too."
"What!" Iris cried out as she looked to Cilan. "Great, that's all we need right now," Iris said with a huff in her voice as she crossed her arms over her chest.
"Hmm, your right, Iris; they will make things harder if we want to undo what has happened to the people that have come here," Cilan said with a frown on his face.
Ash sighed once more, seeing what had just happened to Anabel and knew that staying here was still not the best idea. "I need to get them to leave and forget about us." Ash thought, looking at the three. "Look, I know you want to help, but please just leave this forest, then build a wall around it or something."
"Come on, Ash, we want to help you and the others," Iris said with a frown on her face.
"LOOK AT ME IRIS!" Ash cried out in a way that shocked the dragon trainer; she had never heard Ash yell like this before. "I MEAN, LOOK AT ME I HAVE BREASTS! I HAVE YELLOW FUR!" Ash cried tears now, falling down her face. "I might have my mind back, but for how long? How long before I turn on you and then force the changes that Anabel is going through and finish them off?"
"Ash," Anabel said with a whisper; she could sense the fear that Ash was having right now, and it was real; she did think she would lose her mind once again.
"But we..." Iris began, but the Pikachu girl once again stopped her, and what she said next shocked all three.
"I had sex with May and Misty before coming here; they both woke up before I could leave," Ash said she knew they needed to know this. "And do you know what a part of me loved it do you know what? I loved it as they sucked on my lovely big breasts, as they both fucked my pussy, and I loved doing the same to them. I want to do it with every one of my mates back there to just have sex with them! So let me ask you, Iris, can I become human again, can the others?"
"Well yeah!" answered Iris with a frown on her face. "Besides, Cilan and I heard about how Brock and Misty were turned into dolls at the Saffron Gym as was Sabrina's mother, but thanks to you and a Haunter from Lavender Town's Pokémon Tower, the three of them got back to normal. I mean, we also heard that you were transformed into a Pikachu by a female sorcerer Lily in Johto, and you changed back sometime after that happened."
"She's right, Ash…" added Cilan, frowning as well since it seemed like Ash might honestly be starting to give up, which was something he would never do. "If there's any trace of the old you left, you would never let anything like that this stop you, and I highly doubt it as we know your fighting it even now."
"And what about your dream to become a Pokémon Master?" Iris then went on, remembering about the dream that Ash mentioned achieving during their travels together through Unova and the Decolore Islands. "Are you just going to abandon it, Ash, all because of a situation that can get fixed, and it will be Ash if we all work together?"
It was then that Anabel decided to speak again. "We all have dreams that we want to come true, no matter how hard it is," she told Ash, even despite her being an Espeon girl now, and hopefully she would see how handsome the boy had become since the events at the Battle Frontier once restored to normal. "We'll be back to our regular states if we all give it our best shot, and we should see this through to the end, so you shouldn't see this as the end of the world."
There was nothing but silence coming from Ash, especially when hearing this coming from her friends. Then again, she thought about when she witnessed Brock and Misty being transformed into dolls after Haunter disappeared on her during her attempt to challenge Sabrina to a rematch. That was back during the time she was still new to being a Pokémon Trainer no less. "Guys, I…" she couldn't finish her sentence as memories of when she had become a Pikachu in Johto flashed before her, and yet she's glad it wasn't permanent then, but what if this was the case. Not to mention she didn't want to give up on her goal of becoming a Pokémon Master either.
Soon the group heard a painful cry as Mallow found herself clutching her chest in pain. "Oh no!" she muttered as she, Iris, Cilan, and Anabel went towards the greenette with fear forming on their respective faces. "Are you alright?"
"Yeah, I'm fine…"
The group knew this wasn't the case as they realized she too had started undergoing the painful transformation into a hybrid, which caused them to become more fearful. "You're not fine, you are transforming just like Anabel just did," Ash informed the poor girl from Alola and especially since it seemed the process was taking longer to take effect on her than with the others.
"Isn't there any way we can help her?" asked Iris as she was starting to worry more than ever, especially with the whole situation that was occurring, and then something hit her. So far, she and Cilan were not suffering the same thing themselves, but it would change unless they soon resolved their situation. "I mean, Cilan, and I so far aren't undergoing that horrific transformation after all."
"Not yet, but that doesn't necessarily mean you won't at all," answered Ash, knowing the two couldn't stay here any longer; otherwise, they would change too. As they watched Mallow undergoing her transformation, her thoughts were on Tracey and the fact he's going to be the next target despite his relationship with Misty's older sister Daisy. "I can only hope Tracey's smart enough to know that he needs to leave as soon as possible," Ash said as she sighed.
"Damn it, they're gone!" muttered Tracey, not happy that there was no sign of Serena or Lillie anywhere, which started to make him worried as it wasn't safe for them to be going out without any protection. "Don't they know it's dangerous for them to be doing this with no means of defending themselves?"
'Calm down, Tracey!' informed Marill as she, Venonat, and Scyther investigated the area they and their trainer returned to for any trace of the two missing girls. 'They couldn't have gone too far; we'll find them hopefully.'
Tracey looked at the female Water/Fairy-Type for a moment. "I hope you are right," he said to his Pokémon, especially as he thought about his promise to his girlfriend Daisy regarding his and even Misty's decision to check up on Ash that everything would be okay. Now he was worried about what she, Violet, and Lily would do or even say them if anything happened to their younger sister. "Right now, I don't want to feel like I broke my promise to Daisy. After all, she mentioned that she and her sisters have been looking out for one another ever since their parents died when they were younger."
The three Pokémon then turned towards Tracey in surprise, especially at the Sensational Sisters' parents' getting mentioned that they are also dead. 'What are you talking about?' Scyther was the one who asked his trainer.
All Tracey did was sigh. "Daisy told me about it in secret. I mean, Daisy didn't want to bring it up since it brought back painful memories of that day," he said to his Mantis Pokémon, reflecting on the moment that led to his first kiss with Daisy. "She said that their parents Kirk and Julia, from what I know, both were very gentle and never once hurt them, yet their deaths left the four sisters devastated. Even to this day, they all miss the two with all their heart."
Venonat, Scyther, and Marill all remained silent; they had no idea that the parents of Misty and her sisters had been dead for quite some time, which was something the Tomboyish Mermaid never mentioned at all. 'I had no idea…' muttered the Bug/Poison-Type, lowering his head with sadness.
'Me neither' added Marill, understanding how her fellow Pokémon felt the same with Tracey and Scyther. 'Okay, sure, Misty and her sisters had their reasons for not wanting to bring it up with anyone. However, they know they can trust us, and we wouldn't go around telling anyone about this either given how the three sisters have a reputation they want to keep intact.'
Remaining silent, Scyther nodded his head in agreement with Marill and Venonat. "Yeah, I just hope Misty's okay right now," he said to the three as, like Brock, he could tell that Ash and Misty had feelings for one another but were just too stubborn to admit it. "I'm certain that it wouldn't just break the heart of her sisters; it would also break Ash's."
'I'm sure she would be fine,' Marill assured Tracey, especially reminding him that Misty's a lot stronger than she looked after. 'At worst, she would probably have undergone the same transformation that some of the others here went through, so it's doubtful she would die that easily if at all.'
Venonat nodded in response to what Marill told Tracey, then noticed something near. 'Huh?' wondered the Bug/Poison-type as he immediately headed in the direction of what he saw, which got Tracey's attention almost right away.
"What is it, Venonat?"
'There's footprints… they don't look human at all,' he explained to Tracey as he further observed the marks that he could see were on the ground, which meant that it could explain why Serena and Lillie weren't at the area anymore. 'Whoever or whatever it was, it wasn't alone either…I mean look…'
Tracey, alongside Scyther and Marill, all saw other footprints, which acted as clues to where they had gone. "You don't suppose that whatever came took Serena and Lillie away, do you?" he asked his first Bug-Type. As it was clear, both females would never willingly disobey what they were both told to do during a situation where they could get potentially hurt or even worse.
'I don't know for certain, but it's also definitely a possibility,' commented Venonat. 'That means we positively need to be more careful than ever in case we do cross paths with the ones who took them. I mean, we can immediately rule out Team Rocket.'
There was no word coming out of Tracey's mouth as he had determination on his face, so they would have to be even more prepared for what was to come next. I hope the others are okay. I hate that I don't have any means of contacting them, he thought to himself with a frown on his face.
Ash and the others were still observing as Mallow was transforming right before their eyes, hating that they're helpless during this whole ordeal. "This is just absolutely fucked up," the Pikachu girl muttered to herself, especially since things were going well for him and his friends at least up until they came to the forest.
"Look, you couldn't have known this was going to happen… none of us did."
"I know that!" yelled Ash, looking at Anabel as she was partially to blame because had she known what this could do beforehand, then they wouldn't be in this mess. Sure, she wasn't exactly smart when it came to everything else. Still, Ash knew that with Pokémon, she was definitely a pro, especially in battles against other trainers, and sometimes it's this very trait that can also get her into trouble a lot of the time.
"Uh, guys…" began Iris, while knowing it's maybe best that they save this potential argument for later since Mallow's transformation was now complete. "If you're both done, mind taking a look at our new friend here? I mean, she transformed into a Pokémon I've never seen before."
Ash, Anabel, Cilan, and Espeon all turned towards where Iris and Mallow were with the greenette, had fully transformed into a Pokémon girl like Ash was, and that Anabel was becoming. Still, there was something about her new form that made the Pikachu girl blush. Then again, she also blushed the first time she saw the lavender-haired young woman with her Espeon ears and tail as well, and now it's also the case with the greenette from Alola.
Anabel was shocked by this, too, as she looked at Mallow, seeing that she had now completely changed while she was still undergoing her transformation.
"We better watch out," Cilan warned the others, looking at the girl who finished transforming. "We have no idea if she still has her mind."
Ash sighed, knowing that this is not good as she was getting worried that Mallow might not have her mind. "Mallow?" Ash could hear Iris ask as she looked at the girl from Alola.
"Iris be careful," Cilan said, warning the dragon trainer from getting too close to Mallow.
"Cilan is right, Iris," Anabel said, looking at the two, but she was getting worried seeing how fast the girl had changed.
Iris stopped as she looked back and knew they were both right, as Mallow had fallen to the ground and couldn't see how she was, which worried them.
"So, what should we do then?" Iris asked as she looked to both Anabel and Cilan, knowing that Mallow had changed this fast. Ash knew Iris and the others were right, seeing what happened, but even she didn't know why this had happened so fast to the girl.
"Still, what has Mallow become?" Anabel asked, seeing that she had become a grass-type hybrid of some kind, maybe it was one from where Mallow lived.
The Pikachu girl sighed as she rubbed her head. "I'm not sure either I mean, Lisa said that it took weeks for her friends to full transform," Ash said as she frowned even more. "But then again May, Dawn and the others changed because Misty and the others all had sex with each of them, which made the changes happen faster."
The three didn't know what to make of this, knowing that maybe the forest's power was growing with each new victim. "This is why we all need to leave or find something to stop it," Anabel said with a frown remaining calm.
Cilan nodded, knowing Anabel was right as he looked over to Ash and then to Mallow, who was still on the ground and hadn't said a word to them. "Ash, maybe you should talk to her, but still, you need to watch out."
"Yeah, your right Cilan," Ash said as she knew that Mallow might have lost her mind like so many others in the forest. "The last thing that I want right now is that I lose my mind after getting it back."
Iris agreed, but she knew that there was something else they needed to know, and that is what they will do with Mallow if she has lost her human mind. "What will we do with her if she has lost her mind? I mean, it's not like we can take Mallow with us?"
"I can use my powers to knock her out while we make a run for it," Ash said as her cheeks began to spark.
Ash soon moved closer to Mallow while the other watched; none of them knows what might happen, but they still needed to be ready for anything that will happen. "Mallow, are you okay?" Ash asked as she moved closer to the hybrid girl.
As Ash was getting closer; she could hear her sniffing was Mallow crying; Ash hoped that she was since it was better than the other option. "Mallow, please, I need to know that your still you?"
Mallow soon looked up as Ash, and the others could see tears within her eyes. "Why did this happen to me?" Mallow asked, fear evident in her voice.
Ash and the others all sighed, seeing that Mallow still had her mind, but Ash began to wonder how long this would last for the girl. "You've become a hybrid like me, and like what Anabel is also becoming."
Anabel nodded as she walked over to Mallow, helping the girl to her feet, and to see what Mallow had changed into and wanting to help the Alola girl. "We can fix this Mallow," Anabel said, smiling, wanting to make Mallow feel better.
"But Mallow," Ash began as she looked at the hybrid girl. "We have no idea how long your mind might last, and the moment you think you're losing, please tell us," Ash said, looking at the girl. "Then again, I wouldn't mind mating with her."
Unknown to Ash and what she was thinking of the hybrid before her, Mallow had the same thought in her head as Mallow blushed. "Ash looks so sexy," Mallow thought, as her gaze wandered all over the Pikachu girl seeing her form. "She has such lovely breasts too," Mallow thought but soon realized what she was thinking and began to shack the perverted thought from her head.
Anabel soon sensed that both hybrids were thinking and knew she had to do something before their thought went too far. "And my own too," the lavender-haired girl thought, looking at Ash.
"What are you anyway, Mallow?" Ash asked her as she had never seen a Pokémon like this before and thought it lived in Mallow's home region.
Mallow was shocked at this, looking at her body and knew what she had become and sighed. "It seems that I've become a Steenee," Mallow thought as she looked up to Ash and Anabel. "Oh, it is from home. I've become a..." Mallow began, but before she could finish, they all hear Iris scream.
Cilan soon looked to see why Iris cried out as they all looked in horror to see what was going on Iris had a tail growing just above her ass, and from Ash could tell the girl was becoming a Dragonite.
"No, please, no!" Iris cried out as she grabbed her tail, trying to pull it off. "Get off me, get off me!" she cried in fear as Cilan rushed over to her, seeing the panic in her voice.
"Iris, you need to calm down," Cilan cried out as Iris didn't listen as she continued to try and pull her tail off. "Iris, please."
Anabel, Mallow, and Ash watched as the girl didn't listen to Cilan doing everything he could to help Iris. They watched on as Iris cried out once more, seeing her growing some wings out of her back, making Iris scream in pain.
Anabel's eyes shot open in fear as she looked at Iris. "Oh no, it's the fear and panic, it's making her change faster," Anabel said with horror. "Iris, stop. You need to calm down!" Anabel cried out to the girl wanting to help her before it's too late.
'Mistress Anabel is right!' added in Espeon with her concern, wanting to do all she can to assist in slowing down the process since it's clear that panicking was only making things worse for them… especially the dark-skinned girl in question. 'You have to trust us, please!'
Ash knew that she needed to do something as she watched Iris and knew that she needed to get knocked out. "I'm sorry for this, Iris," Ash said as she used a Thundershock on Iris.
The attack quickly hit Iris as the dragon trainer cried out in pain before falling to the ground as Cilan watched seeing Iris pass out. "Oh no, Iris!" Cilan cried out, rushing over to her.
"I'm sorry, Cilan," Ash said as she looked at her friend and then looked down at Iris, seeing her transformation had at least stopped.
Cilan looked at Ash and smiled. "Yeah, it's okay, Ash, at least she's not changing anymore," Cilan said, unsure what they should do now.
Anabel nodded, worried at what she had seen happen, and looked at Mallow, and then reached to feel her ears. "This is getting worse than I thought."
"I know," Ash sighed as she looked at Anabel and then looked to Mallow, still blushing, as she looked to the hybrid girl. "I think that we need to leave her for a while."
Cilan nodded in agreement with Ash, as he looked at the others; she wasn't sure what to do now that Iris. "She looks beautiful, doesn't she?" A voice whispered to Cilan.
Cilan soon began looking around once he heard the voice. "Hey, did you hear that?" Cilan asked; he turned his attention to the others, think it was one of them.
Anabel and the others looked at Cilan, while Ash was not growing worried. "No, please don't tell me that..." Ash thought as she looked at his friend.
"Did one of you say something?" Cilan asked the three, but the two of the three shook their heads.
"No, we didn't," Mallow said, knowing none of them had spoken as she began to wonder what was wrong with Cilan.
"Cilan, don't listen to that voice!" Ash cried out, fear building up in her voice, and it was something that Mallow and Anabel noticed.
"Huh?"
Gary and his Umbreon were left dumbfounded when they heard a girl screaming though they couldn't figure out where it was coming from, which further worried the two; after all, they had to deal with hybrids that came after them earlier previously. 'Did you hear that?' asked the Dark-type Eeveelution with a frown on his face.
"Yeah, I heard it," answered the former Pokémon Trainer turned Pokémon Researcher, having the same frown that his Pokémon did as it was clear the voice didn't sound anything like Misty or Dawn at all, which worried. "Just who was that?"
'I have no idea, but I think something is happening to her,' commented Umbreon as he remained utterly cautious throughout the whole thing, and it's also pretty clear that whoever it was could use help. 'Think we should go and aid?'
The spikey brown-haired young man didn't know what to say; however, he felt a pain coursing through his entire body before responding. "What's happening?!" he asked himself as it got the attention of Umbreon almost immediately.
'GARY!' cried out the Moonlight Pokémon as he saw that his trainer was starting to sprout the same kind of tail he did. 'Oh my god, what's happening to you?!'
"I-I don't know!" answered Gary, still doing all he can to fight off the transformation for as much as possible only for a giggle to be heard, and he looked around to see where it was coming from, but there's nobody. "Who said that?"
"I did."
"What?!" he asked, looking high and low for whoever was talking to him only for the same result to occur, which surprisingly made him angry despite the transformation he was currently undergoing. "Who exactly are you? Where are you hiding?!"
"I'm not hiding anywhere," answered the female voice, giggling once again as she found it amusing that Gary could hear her, yet Umbreon couldn't, which added to this. "I am inside of you, and it's clear to me that you won't be fighting off your transformation for long, sweetie."
"You're lying!" yelled Gary in anger, looked around again as there was nothing but the sound of Murkrows answering him. "I don't believe a word you're saying!"
"Oh, really?" asked the voice, not offended by the remark even slightly. "Then, would you mind explaining the tail you now have and the Umbreon Ears to boot?"
Confused, Gary looked behind him and saw that he did indeed sprout an Umbreon-like tail and then felt his ears, which were now completely different. "What the hell is going on?!" he asked in absolute shock.
"You are becoming reborn, and soon you will be joining with Zoey as her mate," said the voice as she genuinely looked forward to seeing Gary and Zoey becoming a couple as it should've been when they first encountered one another in the forest.
"Wait, hold on a second, Zoey? You mean that hybrid girl I encountered earlier?" wondered Gary, remembering what happened earlier on and was thankful that he had his Pokémon by his side. "Also, what do you mean by I'm becoming reborn?"
"You'll find out soon enough…"
It was then that Umbreon made his way towards Gary with concern. 'What are you yelling on about, Gary?' he asked, becoming even more worried than ever.
Gary couldn't say anything as he knelt back down to the ground, noticing breasts that gradually started forming on his chest. "You have gotta be kidding me!" he explained, his voice changing to a female voice and he was honestly glad he didn't bring his cheerleaders with him otherwise, who knows what they could've thought about this whole ordeal.
"You are becoming reborn, and soon you will be joining with Zoey as her mate," he heard the voice echoing the very words, and it started to make him worried, especially with his mind slowly going. Still, he used all of his will-power in a bid to prevent that from happening.
Gary frowned, hearing this and knew that he needed to leave this place, but he also needed to find where that scream had come first. "Then I can get out of here."
Umbreon agreed with his trainer growing worried about seeing what was happening. 'We need to go now, then I mean...' Umbreon said, looking at Gary and his ears and tail.
Gary and Umbreon were about to make their next plan when the two could hear the giggles coming from all over them. "Aww, so cute," one voice said.
"I know, it seems that she is already changing," another one said as it giggled, and Gary looked behind but could tell the hybrid was hiding.
"Hmm, I agree, but how long will it take before she joins us," the third said to the others before giggling as they moved closer.
'Gary, we need to leave before they attack us,' Umbreon said with a warning to his trainer before hearing the giggles once again. 'And we better go before they attack.' Umbreon said as Gary nodded while looking around, they needed to time this right.
"Aww, please don't leave, you'll love your new home. So, stay with us," the voice called out to two, still giggling. "There is no going back after all. Not that we want to become human again."
"Yeah, you'll understand in time," the first voice, and it sounded like it was getting closer. "Once your reborn, that is, sweetie. You'll even have a new name too."
Gary didn't like the sound of this, knowing that deep down, the girls are right, but he wasn't going to let that stop him. "I won't give in; I need to find out what's doing this," Gary said, mainly to himself before he turned his attention to Umbreon.
For a few short moments, Umbreon said nothing as he looked to his trainer with fear at what was happening to Gary. The Dark-type watched as Gary picked up what he needed and looked to his Pokémon. "Okay, Umbreon, we better keep moving."
A/N well, here is the end of another chapter; this took a while as I was sadly ill. So, it made it harder to work on it, but I got it done. Now look, it's nothing to worry about as I don't want to cause any fear. I sadly get ill a lot nowadays.
Now yes, Gary is changing more, and he isn't the only one with Iris undergoing her transformation, and Mallow's also happened. Now I didn't have Mallow and Ash mate in this chapter since a lot was going on with Iris undergoing her change.
I didn't show much of Mallow's transformation sadly as this was a hard one, and I kept changing it too since I was never happy with it.
Anyway, if you have anything you would like to ask me, please ask, and I will try to get back to you.
