A/N: Thank you for all the incredible reviews. It literally makes my day to wake up and see that you like this story.

I want to be truthful with you. You see, I'm a little stuck. I don't remember much about the first season of Pokemon, so if any of you want to help me with the plot, I would be beyond grateful.

In the meantime, I made you a little something :)

To say that Ash had an easy time learning Moves after that first success would be far from the truth. To gain a new Move like 'transform' was still tricky.

When Ash flew that time, it wasn't because of any conscious thought or deliberate action on his part. In fact, he wasn't even aware that he was doing it, but his body acted on its' own. After Yami brought it to his attention, controlling the flight path became harder.

It was like Ash's mind tried to interfere with his instincts, which resulted in a messy and uneven flight. Yami's advice was to try and not think about it, but doing so was a lot harder than he thought it would be. He was getting better, but it was slow progress.

It was then that Ash asked Yami for a way to learn a way to transform. The bodiless being had grown quiet at that, and instead of answering, he woke Ash up.

When Ash opened his eyes, it was really disorienting. One moment he was in the dark eternal space, and then he was back at Pikachu's den. He closed his eyes and tried to let the drowsiness pass.

In his heart, the boy felt disgruntled at Yami's apparent dismissal. He'd thought that Yami was on his side. He'd agreed to help him, so why did he send him back without saying anything?

Did... did Ash do something wrong?

The boy bit his lip worriedly. If he was right and Yami was angry with him, then he'll need to apologize. He didn't want the other to stay mad at him.

Ash found that he liked the calm and confident Yami. He was like a cool older brother.

Tonight, Ash agreed in his heart, tonight he will ask for Yami's forgiveness.

"Hey, Pikachu..." Ash looked towards the other Pokémon's back, "are you awake?"

Pikachu didn't answer. Not even one of his long ears twitched in acknowledgment.

Ash slowly got up and peered at the sleeping Pokémon. Pikachu was sleeping soundly with his mouth wide open. Now that he was closer, Ash noticed how he even snored lightly.

Right. So Pikachu was dead to the world, but Ash couldn't go back to sleep even if he tried. It would be better to go out and practice flying.

'I could look for something to eat,' he thought energetically, 'Pikachu is all out of those delicious berries. I could help him find some more!'

Ash remembered the feeling of freely flying through the air, the way he moved from one spot to another, and before he knew it, he was floating in the air again. 'Perfect!'

Giggling lightly at his marvelous success, Ash dashed out of Pikachu's den like a tiny missile. The other Pokémon didn't even notice.

'Flying is really awesome!' The boy turned mew flipped joyfully in the air, 'I feel so free!'

The forest moved around Ash like a green blur. The sound of the various Pokémon chatting between themselves drew Ash's attention and distracted him from time to time, but he remembered his mission.

'I'm going to find those berries!'

Unbeknown to both Ash and Pikachu, Lum Berries are one of Mew's favorite foods. It was only natural for the boy turned Mew to favor this kind of treat.

Ash wasn't even aware that his like for the Lum berries was getting to a borderline obsession. All he knew was that he wanted to eat more of that tasty sweet berries.

This is why when Ash found a bush a little distance away from Pikachu's den, he landed almost immediately and started gorging himself.

'So, so, good!'

Ash landed without making sure that the area was empty. If there had been a trainer there, the boy would have been in deep trouble.

While eating the Lum berries was nice, Ash found that he was full and couldn't eat anymore. He started picking more and more berries to bring back with him, but since he couldn't control objects with his mind yet, the number he could bring back with him was distressingly small.

The Mew in Ash was really unhappy. It wanted more delicious berries!

'If only I were bigger...' Ash thought while he looked at the bush. All he could think about was how easy getting berries as a human had been. 'If I were human, I could get three times this number!'

It was wishful thinking, however. Ash knew that wishing really hard won't really change reality. It's not like craving to go back to his human form would change him just like that.

It couldn't be that easy.

But if it could...

Ash looked longingly at the berries, and his heart cried. Berries, ho my berries...

Ash blinked when the whole forest shifted and shrank. What the hell?!

Everything was much smaller all of a sudden. The bush in front of him become a lot shorter - or, was it... did he get taller?!

Ash looked down at himself and was ecstatic to find out that he looked human again.

How wonderful!

His craving for Lum berries didn't subside, but now Ash could take more of it back with him. Thankfully, even as a Mew, he made sure to keep track of the path. Getting back to Pikachu's den took longer, but Ash really wanted to rub the truth in the other's face!

Pikachu got up to an empty den, but he didn't panic. Instead, he took a deep breath and exhaled.

Mew was gone. The grumpy little Pokemon thought that he'll be happy, but he wasn't. In the two days (was it even two days?) that Mew had been here, he felt like he belonged. Pikachu didn't even know he'd been lonely before little Mew up and left. 'That asshole.'

He missed Mew. She was hard-working, intelligent, and a great house guest. She drove him crazy while she was here, but Pikachu was sad to see her go.

'The least you could do was say goodbye,' he thought grumpily.

Would he miss little Mew? Pikachu believed he would, but he'll also get over it pretty quickly. It's not like it was the end of the world. Everything would go back to how it was before. He would protect his territory from foreign Pokemon, electrocute idiotic trainers, and live his life as he wished.

Stretching, Pikachu left the den only to run into trouble.

A human kid stood right in front of the opening. The imbecile was staring right at Pikachu with the most dimwitted look the Pokemon had ever seen. So, it was only right for Pikachu to shock him silly, right?

The human dropped something to the ground - a bunch of Lum berries - before collapsing and passing out. The moment the human touched the ground, his whole body shone in a light-pink color and shrank.

'No way.' Pikachu stared at little Mew with an open jaw and wide eyes.

What the fuck was going on?!

Thank you for being amazing and reviewing!
