Ash Ketchum was in love... Yes you heard me right, Ash Ketchum, densest of the dense and the most oblivious person in the entire Pokemon world, was in love with someone.

But you may ask, who could Ash possibly be in love with, his first traveling companion Misty? His childhood best friend Serena? Or maybe even somebody like Altomare's Latias?

None of those but if you were to say May Maple you would be corrected, in fact Ash was looking through the Petalburg City shopping district to find a gift to confess to get with.

Why did he like May? For everything other than her shopping tenancies. Her happy smile, her cheerful attitude, the fact she ate almost as much as Ash, and her general compassionate and confident way of life!

The times they spent together he looked back fondly on as well, from her getting Torchic, to her first contest and grand festival, her winning the Kanto grand festival and reuniting in Sinnoh!

He even remembered how loving she could be with her Pokemon and even her little brother Max! If he could be with her even being a Pokemon Master would take a backpedal for a bit.

But even with all of this... he couldn't find a gift he felt he could give May that properly conveyed his feelings, he had searched most shops but came up empty handed.

He sighed sadly, "Why can't I find a gift for May? It shouldn't be this hard!" he said as he browsed the shelves and stores for anything he May be able to give his dream girl.

He had even gone out if his way to leave to leave Pikachu and his other Pokémon at the nearest Pokemon Centre because who knows could happen if say Pikachu distracted May from his confession!

He looked around and went through all of the options relating to May. "A couple of pokeseal? No she'd thinks it's for a contest... Flowers? Nah, I'm pretty sure she hates Drew because of them... A red headband? No she wears a bandanna..." he said aloud as he browsed.

And those were just the ideas worth mentioning, he found things as boring as a simple glow bracelet to a Manaphy Plush. Ash sighed as I looked round the shop for the final time.

He looked and saw exactly what he would be needed, it was a heart shaped box of chocolates, the top half being a blue and the bottom being a red, almost like his and May's colours were put on it for him to find.

He picked up the box and slowly walked over to the register, paying for the heart shaped box and was given a knowing look from the cashier. Ash blushed as he walked outside, seeing it to be late afternoon.

He took a deep cleansing breath and stretched, preparing to walk over to the Maple Residence, even for someone as battle hardened as Ash, he had to admit he was powerless in romantic power.

He looked onward and began to walk, it was a long way from here to May's house, it was at least on the other side of town so it was a fair but away from here but he was sure me could get there quick

On his way, he was psyching himself up, not caring for the other people's stares "Okay Ash, you got this, you're a Pokemon Master in the making! You can confess to May how you love her!"

He walked through the small dirt roads with a smile and nervous grip on his gift, while he could do it he was still nervous about this, not knowing how May would react.

He passed through a road full of restaurants with a happy smile and open ears... but then he heard a very familiar giggle, specifically May's...

"Huh? Was that... May just now?" Ash asked aloud in a mix of surprise and dread, he looked around and looked in a bunch of restaurants, hoping his assumption was wrong.

But unfortunately for him, he spotted May sitting in one of the restaurants... with Drew... they were clearly on a date by the way they were acting and despite the fact that the both of them were in their normal attire.

Ash's heart cracked at this, before it shattered and fell into trillion tiny pieces, the heartbreak overtaking his heart with tears beginning to fall faster and faster out of his eyes.

His ears which were on much higher alert started to overhear what the both of them were speaking about, hearing one certain sentence that made his heart shatter from pieces to micropieces.

"You see May, it's not the best idea to use both Skitty's Assist alongside Munchlax's Metronome, and while if lucky it can work great there's a higher risk of bad luck" Drew explained in a mix of advising and flirting

"Thank you for this Drew, for the advice and the lovely date, I'll be forever grateful for this, I was beginning to thing I'd never find love." she said with a genuine smile

"There's no problem with that May, I'm just glad you gave me a shot, and now we're boyfriend and girlfriend, so I'm happy about that!" Drew smiled honestly...

Hearing those words, time froze for the heart broken ten year old, May... and Drew...? They were... together... Did he have no chance to begin with?

He dropped the chocolate he was holding and the contents spilled ot of the blue half as it fell and broke in half, the less fragile red one getting blown into the grass.

May and Drew were to focused on each other, they never even knew Ash had been there as said boy ran, he full on sprinted away from them, passerby's looking at him pitifully but not trying to get close and comfort him.

He eventually ran into a park and stopped before sitting down on a small wooden bench, big enough to fit two but Ash was the only one there.

He thought back as his tears flowed freely, where did he go wrong? Why didn't May notice?! Why would she choose Drew!? He... did he not notice his love in time?

He took a deep soothing breath and began to try and calm down, yeah he did just get heartbroken but another thought crossed his mind as he lightened up a bit.

"Y-Y'know, maybe May w-wasn't meant to be with me... maybe I could be with someone else..." he said as he thought of Dawn, Iris, Misty, Serena and more girls.

But then he looked back down in a mix of acceptance, pain and sadness. There is no way he wanted to feel like this ever again, it was worse than any Thunderbolt, Flamethrower or literal death he'd experienced, there was no way we would go through that by choice again...

And just as he thought nothing could make this worse the dark clouds over head began to rain, perfectly matching how Ash felt "Great... just great..." he sighed as he looked up, rain splashing on his face.

He decided to get off the bench and stood up, not bothering to even stretch as he briefly looked at a map and began to aimlessly wander into the city again.

Ash had spent all of the money on the chocolate he hadn't thought of getting a coat or umbrella and judging by where he was, he'd probably have ran too far away from the Pokemon Center for shelter if his memory was right, the only place close enough was... Petalburg Gym... better known to him as May's house...

He really didn't want to go there, on the off chance May and Drew were there he didn't want to be awkward around her, but it'd be better for that rather than catching a cold, at the very least his tears were covered by the thundering rain so no one would know he was crying.

He kept his head down as he walked through the streets, passerby's with coats and such looked down at him in pity but never came close enough to talk, but Ash didn't care at all.

Roughly ten minutes later, he arrived at the home, looking shiny and clean on the outside despite the fact it was raining, Ash could only guess it was better on the inside.

Ash took a deep breath and stood under the front porch, he couldn't let May, if she was in, know that he was sad and he pulled himself together with a convincing cheerful facade

He took another breath before he knocked nervously on the door, and a womanly voice called from the other side. "Just a minute dearie! I'll be right with you!"

Ash sighed in relief as he realized May probably wasn't home yet as he heard the voice of her mother, Caroline, "Hi Mrs. Maple, it's me, Ash Ketchum" he called from the other side of the door.

"Ash Ketchum?" she asked before she made her way to the door and saw a cold and wet boy she knew from May's travels she gasped as she saw the state Ash was in.

"Oh Ash sweetie, you poor thing, get in here quick or you'll get a cold, I'll make you some coco to help warm you up" Caroline said as she dragged Ash in with concern and sat his wet form on her couch.

"Thank you Mrs Maple" he said with a thankful smile, while internally he was a wreck of emotions, he was still glad and thankful for being warmer and dryer.

"Oh please, you can call me Caroline, okay Ash" she called from the other room and brought in a maroon colored blanket in alongside a nice toasty cup of cocoa.

Ash murmured out a quick thanks as he drunk a sip from the cup, being the perfect temperature as he sniffled slightly, before looking back to the woman in front of him

"Sorry if the cocoa was delayed, you see, I'm not exactly used to being here by myself, Norman's busy at a Gym Conference, Max is studying in Alola, and May's off on a cute little date with Drew! Oh so romantic that is!" She said obliviously to what Ash had seen.

"O-Oh yeah... is she?" he said, his voice cracking with sadness as some tears threatened to fall from his eyes as he looked back down and took another sip of his cocoa.

"Of course, why would I need to lie, especially since I'm so happy for my little girl" Caroline said, holding her cheek with an obvious smile on her face "After all, our good looks is the way we win over all of the boys in our lives" she giggled.

Ash looked down sadly when Caroline giggled "Yeah, like how May won my heart and took Drew's instead" he said as he began to cry slightly, him taking quiet and shy sips of the drink.

Caroline gasped at what Ash said and looked apologetically at the trainer "O-Oh my goodness, I-I'm so very sorry Ash, I should have known"

"N-No, it's fine, I guess romance just isn't for me, not meant to be loved" He said as he tried to pull himself together, no need to bother Caroline like this.

Suddenly, just after he said that Caroline glared at Ash with what looked to be rage. "Now hold on tight there young man, Love is for everyone, they just don't know it, however, do you know what I have that you don't?"

Ash had to think for for a few seconds before he remembered something Caroline had mentioned and blushed as he said "You said it was yours and May's good looks."

"Exactly" Caroline answered proudly, smile and had a smile on her face. "My good looks is how I was able to win off my dear Norman. Oh how romantic~" she sighed as she hugged herself in joy at her memories.

But she shook her head and gained a sly grin, one not seeming too natural on her pretty face. "Ash, I can help you with you problems, I can make attractive, you'll find love in no time... you'll be as beautiful as me~" she said, almost hypnotically from Ash's viewpoint.

While Ash knew Caroline didn't have any hypnotic powers or was actually hypnotizing him, Ash couldn't ignored what she had just said, he saw how supporting and generous Caroline was being and couldn't help but wish to listen and follow along what she would do.

"Y-You mean you can make people find me attractive? Help me find someone to love?!" Ash asked as Caroline cupped his face in her hands, he stared into the woman's purple eyes in glee "Y-Yes! Yes please!"

"Great!" Caroline clapped in delight before she held her nose in fake disgust "I'm extremely happy to help but first, you absolutely need a shower, the rain made you stink worse than a Muk and a Garbodor combined!"

Ash took a quick sniff at his arms and didn't quite catch onto what Caroline was meaning, he wasn't that stinky? Right? But before he could ask for a reasoning, a small handful of bathing items were given to him.

"I can't help you if you stink, so here, these are my conditioner, shampoo and bodywash there expensive so use them properly make sure the first two get all in your hair and make sure to get the bodywash everywhere, your face, under your arms, and I do mean everywhere" she explained as she smiled generously and pointed down

Ash blushed heavily as he knew what she was referring to, still wondering why not use Norman's or Max's shower products but still obeyed and held them close so they wouldn't fall.

"Now come on then Ash, upstairs and in the shower." She said as she grabbed them from the shoulders and began to push him up the stairs with a smile.

Quickly, Caroline pushed him into the bathroom, locked the door from the outside and said "I won't let you out until you finish!" before turning away from the door and walked into her room. "I'm so glad I can finally do this~ And especially to someone like Ash!" she sang happily before she made some preparations

Ash soon enough decided it wouldn't be wise to listen to Caroline, if she said he stunk he probably did, it would make sense if he WAS as he did own a Muk. He put the other items in the basket in the shower and saw other things in there, all in girly cursive.

"Caroline? What do I do with the things already in there!?" He yelled from once side of the door before Caroline answered him with a, "Just use them as well! And if you need a sponge use my red one!"

He stripped down and got inside of the shower, and after getting the water to the perfect temperature and getting doused, he got out the first container.

Meanwhile, Caroline was in her room setting up a chair, it was facing her vanity table which had no mirror, and preparing clothes, makeup, earrings and more for which would happen in a little bit

After Caroline fully had everything prepared she heard somebody screamed in shock. "Well, it seems I finished these just in time for him to finish~" she sang jovially as she went to the bathroom

When she got there, what she saw would shock most others but not her, Ash's messy, spiky, short black hair was now a soft, flowing, mahogany waterfall cascading down to his lower back, his skin was no longer tanned and somewhat rough skin was now a pale-cream colour, softer than a fluffy blanket and smoother than anything Ash had known.

Ash spluttered in shock at his new appearance, he noticed his face and body was the same but his eyebrows was also the mahogany color, not to mention his skin which made things feel colder.

"Wh-What happened to me!? Why is my body-?" Ash yelled in panic before Caroline silently wrapped the boy's head in a mahogany towel like a girl would in for his hair, while another towel, this one being bigger, was put around his torso and underneath his arms starting at his upper chest and ending around his mid-thigh "Huh?"

Caroline smiled at the boy warmly "No need to worry It's just a small side effect of the shower, being well bathed helps in romance~" She said.

Ash blushed and began to feel uncertain about this "C-Caroline? S-Sorry but why are you treating me like a gir-" he said before Caroline gave him the sweetest smile he'd ever seen.

"Ash, do you want to find love? Because if you do... do as I say~ When I'm done with you... You'll never feel heartbroken ever again~" she said in a hypnotic tone, Ash would have gone against her, but he just didn't feel like he couldn't trust her.

Not to mention how, even if it embarrassment, if it indeed was as true as Caroline had promised, he was more than willing to try this new look out, and he could always dye his hair and get another tan.

Caroline smirked as she got a chair out, she knew Ash was heartbroken and in desperate seeking of a lover, but she had expected more resistance from him, even in this state!

"Great~ I need you to sit here for around half an hour. So let me give you something... Aha!" She said as she got a small MP3 Player, some Red and fluffy headphones with a yellow pattern, and a large stack of two magazine types.

She sat Ash down and out the headphones on him "You can borrow these~" she sang as some smooth relaxing music started to play in the boy's ears, his uneasiness and pain melt away.

It was... almost hypnotic and as Caroline intended, she silently walked out with a smile, knowing that her plan was already bearing fruit as Ash layed down with a soft smile, he just felt calm...

But soon enough he got rather bored and wouldn't you? Even if he indeed was calm, that didn't stop his impatience, he began to tap his foot to the music but looked at the magazines a second later.

He didn't know why but he felt as if that reading them might help cure his boredom and after a minutes thinking he randomly took one off of the top.

Ash looked down at the cover and blushed, it was all about women's fashion, what colour were in, the types of outfits that were cheque, the latest trendy hairstyles and even makeup tips!

He groaned as he picked it up and slowly began to read, not knowing how in combination with the music, his mind was like a sponge to suck up any and all information he was provided

Although, he didn't know that or anything else regarding what was happening but all he knew was the magazine he was reading was extremely engaging, he had no clue how but the facts and information flooding into his head was oddly attractive!

He kept reading onwards and soon grew a fondness of the topic, sure, he probably won't even need this information but it was so interesting, it was so engagingly, so... so amazing! "I never knew how much work women do to keep themselves pretty!" he said in awe.

He kept reading on and unfortunately he soon had to finish reading the magazine, he sighed and looked at it, able to recall every word, but that was then he realized there was an entire stack of them as his eyes lit up and picked up another.

The next one he picked up made him blush even harder, on the cover alone it had bare chested men with large muscles, strong smiles and handsome faces.

Ash took a nervous gulp as he opened the magazine too see many much stronger looking men than him, making him feel odd inside, he didn't know what, but he had to guess it was jealousy he felt run down his spine.

He didn't notice how his cheeks lit up as he saw them, he couldn't look away due to his believed to be envy. "M-Maybe if I looked more like these guys, May would have..." he started before shaking his head, no need to worry about that soon...

Ash was expecting he'd be more interested into all of the work out sheets littered in the book yet he unconsciously couldn't keep his eyes from drifting too the men on the pages, it was alluring him in an odd way.

However, Ash didn't know this, but the music was working in tandem with the magazines too implant seeds of interests into Ash, slowly growing and overtaking his old interests he also would be more willing to what Caroline planned.

Ash ended up blowing through the magazines and didn't notice the playlist had looped five times and that he was beginning to reread the older magazines, he didn't know how it had actually been three hours!

After the music began to loop for the tenth time and he had read all of the magazines twice, Caroline came in once again, surprised to see the progress that Ash had made, she smirked before putting on a sweet smile.

Ash sighed peacefully as he put the magazine back into the pile neatly, he felt with the music all the pain he had felt washed away and he gained some interesting new ideas!

He briefly thought back to what he had learned from the magazines, the true intricacies of how woman chose outfits, how makeup worked, how much was used but how little was needed, not to mention how he may or may not have stared at the muscles for longer than he'd like to admit.

Although it was just a thought that passed a few times, he thought that some of the men were, cute, hot and dare he think it sexy. But that made him begin too mumble "Wait... why did I think that? And why am I not freaking out? It like this is normal."

Caroline quietly came in, smiled and put her hand on Ash's shoulder "Oh? Do you like them? They were the only ones I could find but from your face you must have liked them" she teased, only to realize Ash was too invested to hear her.

Caroline giggled before taking one headphone off of Ash's ear "Hello, Ash? Did you hear me?" she asked as Ash blinked before yelping in surprise and frantically putting the current fashion magazine he was reading down.

Ash shook his head and took the headphones off "H-Huh!? Sorry, no, when did you get here Caroline?" he asked, disoriented from sitting for so long, any thoughts about fashion and men being sunk back to his brain as he rubbed his eyes.

"Just now, anyway, I went to quickly wash your clothes, but unfortunately, an untrained Mighteyena rushed inside and tore it up, everything, from your hat to shoes, the trainer is very sorry about it" she said with a sad frown, in actual face she was internally grinning, she had burnt it all to ash, almost symbolic of what she was doing.

"Huh!? Aww man, what am I supposed to wear?" he asked in annoyance and puzzlement, this was exactly the reaction had wanted from it as she could start her next part of her plan.

"Max and May's clothes would be too small and Norman's would be too big. Oh whatever shall we do..." Caroline said, faking ignorance and cupping her cheek to make it appear she was thinking.

Ash sighed unhappily "I'm sorry about this Caroline, I should have thought thi-" he started before Caroline put a finger over his lips, making him look over at her.

"Don't worry Ash, I have a plan, but you're going to have to go along with it, okay? Caroline asked with a glint in her eyes, not malicious or mischievous, but too Ash they seemed full of genuine kindness.

Ash didn't think twice before he nodded and Caroline smiled "Great, now follow me" she said as she took Ash's creamy-white hand in her own as she led him out of the bathroom and into her own room.

Ash felt somewhat nervous as he went into the room, he wasn't used to being in woman's room, he blushed and rubbed his arm nervously but regardless looked around, his eyes landing on the vanity table and unconsciously knew every product.

Not noticing this, Caroline smiled and took two things off of the she had made earlier, being some frilled cream-colored panties and a matching bra, she took them in her hands and turned around.

She passed the two garments over to the dazed boy, and made sure he was still holding the towel "I suppose that these shall have to do~" she sung, as Ash refocused yet again and saw the woman's clothes in his palms.

Ash blushed heavily as he realized what he was holding and stuttered out a shocked and embarrassed "H-Huh!? But aren't these you-" he started before he looked up.

He saw Caroline with a disapproving frown directed at his was "Ash... I can't help you if you have no clothes on..." she said as she stared into his eyes, something about the stare made him... want to listen...

He took a small gulp as he looked away from Caroline for a moment and down at the cream garments, they were... attractive to him, even though that thought made him feel embarrassed.

"O-Okay then... I guess since there's no choice..." he said before looking back up and asking, "U-Um, Caroline? Could you turn around?" he asked with red on his pale face.

Caroline nodded with a smile "Of course, ask if you need any help" she said before he turned around and sat down on her bed, facing the window across from her.

Ash took a deep breath as he took the towels off of his hair and body and due to already being dry he pulled the panties over his private parts and almost like an expert, fastened the bra to his chest.

But that's just when Ash realized, why did he need the bra? It wasn't holding anything and since he was a boy, there was no need for it "Um... Caroline, I don't think I need the bra... there's nothing to cover..."

Caroline giggled before turning around, eyes staring at the boy in joy as she saw that Ash was wearing it, and not only that but he was doing so flawlessly.

Ash blushed in embarrassment but was surprised when he found himself in an odd state of calm, almost as if he usually did wear these under his clothes daily. "O-Okay, I understand the panties... but why the bra?

Ash briefly thought about and then realized something else, "Wait a minute... Why did I put it on in the first place? It makes no sense... And how could I put it on like it was... normal?"

He suddenly felt a tingling sensation in his crotch and chest "Huh?" he asked in a casual tone "What's going on with my..." he said before he looked down.

When he looked down he was shocked to see his rib cage was sinking into his body, making him wince as it became smaller but that wasn't the end as his chest began to puff up and outwards, growing bigger and bigger, filling the bra to perfection as his new DD-cup breasts bounced and stopped growing, forcing a moan if pleasure out of his lips.

"H-Huh!? What the?" he managed out as he moaned at the sense of pleasure he had felt before he felt another wave of pleasure start from his crotch as he looked down in horror.

He heard a pop noise before he looked down and realized in horror he was no longer male before his rear burst outwards slowly until it was peach shaped and rather large for his size, just like his chest, with the panties going where the sun never shone... Ash's chest and lower regions were now that of a woman's. "My butt... Wait... I'm a...?" He moaned out once he had stopped changing.

He reached down to absolutely check that it was gone down in his lower region as he noticed that he was in a chair from falling over due to his shift in body mass. He whispered out an "Impossible..."

He moved his hands around his new breasts in an attempt to not touch them as he layed a hand down on his butt in shock at what happened. "So big..." he said quietly before asking "What happened... I'm a girl now? Why aren't I freaking out?"

Caroline was also acting like it wasn't a big deal of the situation either "I did say you'd be just as attractive as me, but now I can see you've surpassed me" she giggled.

Ash spluttered slightly at this what Caroline had said in surprise "Huh? But... why am I girl?" He asked in surprise tone, not one of horror or shock but calmer, it was strange but Ash oddly didn't mind.

"Well..." Caroline started as she walked over and cupped Ash's chin so he could look at her directly in the eyes "If you want to find love, you'll need to make some sacrifices~" she purred as Ash's gaze locked onto her eyes.

Ash couldn't stop from feeling hypnotized by the woman in front of him's smooth motherly voice. What happened to him was a huge change and normally he would demand to be turned back... he felt like he needed to accept what Caroline had said, her corruption music working from his subconscious.

To Ash, these clothes were indeed very comfortable and that Caroline is just trying to help... telling him she was just doing a small experiment in exchange for her help... that there was no harm done by it...

He took some deep breaths to calm down and sat back down in the chair and sighed "Well, it's not permanent at least..." he admitted that the clothes were nice and he did look rather pretty at least...

"Not perma-?" Caroline stared before smiling with a closed eye smile "Ah yes, of course, only a test after all" Caroline fibbed with her cackling internally, 'Oh Ash, you naive fool'

Caroline quickly went over to her pile of things for Ash and pulled out a pair of white open toed sandals, she smiled and came back over "Hold your feet out please Ash" she smiled out "They may be uncomfortable at first but I assure your feet will fit, besides, these are my favourites

Ash smiled at that thought, that made him feel proud and rewarded, he outstretched his feet with an innocent and giddy smile adorning his face.

Caroline grinned before she slipped the two white pieces of footwear onto Ash's feet and applied the straps tightly to hold them in place, Ash did his best not to show how uncomfortable he was were a bit too big for his boy feet, no matter how cute they were.

He winced slightly but smiled regardless, even if tight they seemed more fashionable and practical than his bland old sneakers, they had personality and charm these did "These seem much better..." Ash murmured as he felt something in his legs.

At that moment in time Ash's feet grew smaller and daintier to fit better in the sandal, meanwhile his legs were growing longer and smoother, his thighs having fat build up to become larger, his hips becoming wider and sexier.

Ash smiled with a small smile as he hopped in his seat to adjust before he outstretched his legs in awe of them and saw the difference and how his legs looked "So cute..."

Caroline smiled even wider, Ash hadn't even resist that change, and in fact he even had willing accepted that change "I'm glad to hear you like them!" Caroline reinforced with a small smile

Ash at that point stood up, losing his balance slightly before some new muscle memory kicked in, allowing him to stand perfectly with surprising strength and balance, mainly to hold his new longer and larger legs perfectly.

Ash smiled as he saw his womanly legs and stretched his arms out, but that was before Caroline tapped on his shoulder, "Dear me, we can't just have you run around in panties, can we?" she said with a giggle.

Ash giggled as well as Caroline, before the older woman brought out an identical copy of her outfit, it had a somewhat flame design on the orange skirt, the sides being a lighter orange, the shirt being yellow, a red ribbon being there to go around the waist with the shirt ending at the shoulders, being held be sort of white straps, that would show collar bone, shoulders and even some cleavage.

"So Ash, I hear this isn't your first time, or even fourth time dressing like a girl." Caroline said knowingly before Ash giggled, remembering the times fondly before giggling and sliding the shirt overhead, pulling the skirt up and tying the ribbon in a neat knot.

Ash smiled and looked down before noticing something, his skin, the outfit, his body's changes and even his longer hair, it was obvious what she was doing but Ash's didn't care to stop her, he should be scared and angry... but instead he whispered out "She's only trying to help..."

Ash giggled at how comfortable the outfit felt, his large chest poking out of the shirt, same with his rear and the skirt before he felt something pulling at his waist and looked to see Caroline tightening the ribbon around his waist. "Now just to tighten it~" Caroline sang happily as she did so.

Suddenly, his waist got slimmer and thinner with the dress tightening, feeling more comfortable on his form while his shoulders inched in, his rib cage following slightly but not enough to obscure his breasts. His arms becoming thinner and prettier, hands shrinking and fingers lengthening and thinning, his nails becoming longer and cleaner.

"Amazing! Do you feel the beauty now?" Caroline asked as she clapped her hands in delight, noticing Ash was taking smaller breaths to competence for his smaller waist before he began to smile happily.

"My goodness, I never knew the wonders of beauty! Thank you for doing this for me, Caroline!" Ash ranted with a serene smile on her face as she saw her fingers and thought 'No more throwing Pokeballs for me, letting them out with the button would be easier'

"I'm glad you like it! But I think we need to fix those nails, a bit bland, don't you agree?" Caroline asked with a smile as she pulled a vial of maroon nail polish out from her pocket as she knew her plan was working better than intended as Ash became more like her.

Ash smiled as Caroline began applying them to his toes as he let his feet rest in the comfortable footwear before Caroline began to move onto his hands after a few minutes.

"Thank you so much Caroline, my nails were so boring before, if I want to both find someone and become a Pokemon Master" Ash sighed as Caroline stopped, Ash admiring his nails with a smile.

When he said that Caroline frowned slightly due to some aspects staying in Ash, but she had a plan. "Are you sure you're still going to be a trainer? I thought it was clear you were saying goodbye to your old self... I guess if you're so insistent then I must change you back..."

Ash gasped as he heard that before thinking and looking down in thought and then into the mirror, seeing he was Caroline from the neck down before a thought came into his head, why should he want this to be temporary?

Ash stared at his reflection and began to mumble, loud enough for Caroline to hear him "Why would I want to change back? May lost her chance with me for Drew... my old face doesn't fit me, it only makes me remember my old self..." he started before looking up in determination "This isn't my future... I shall change and love my new self!"

He looked over to Caroline with a small smile "Your right, I've never won a league or been a good coordinator, so what would the point be, besides, I'd much rather search for a man to be the wife of~"

Caroline smirked at those words, her corruption plan had worked, gone was the boyish, stinky and loud trainer Ash Ketchum, in front of her was a beautiful, submissive woman who was in search of love.

But just as a precaution, Caroline had to ask "A man? But what about May? Weren't you crying about her earlier?" but Ash just waved his hand dismissively, as if she was irrelevant.

"Well, May turned me down for Drew and in honesty, I don't really mind, it would be pointless to chase after it, the both of them will be good for each other" Ash reasoned before sitting back down and looking at the mirror.

Caroline once again smiled, she knew heartbreak was the easiest time to do this and she was so glad she had, "Okay then! Now, let's sort that hair out, but turn away from the mirror first"

Ash obliged and quickly turned the chair around "But of course! Nothing but the best for my future husband!" he said as she sat back down, this time with crossed legs and hands on his lap.

Caroline quickly sets some tools and hairspray down on the desk before cutting his long hair into something more manageable, around his mid-back. "I'm so glad you allowed me to do this Ash!" Caroline said, trying to make light conversation.

Ash smiled warmly and giggled as the front of his hair was shaped into two inward curving bangs that framed his face and showed some mid-forehead. "Oh it's no problem, I don't mind in the slightest, in fact, I believe this too be an improvement!" He said honestly.

"Well, I'm glad you think so Ash~" Caroline sang with a smile as she tied Ash's hair into two low-hanging zigzagging ponytails before spraying it with a strawberry smelling hairspray so the style would stay in shape and smell attractive.

Ash to a small sniff if the spray while it was airborne and couldn't help but find the scent comfortable and had a small oblivious smile on his face "May I open my eyes?" he asked out of pure curiosity.

Caroline giggled light-heartedly before answering "Not quite yet, but in a moment I'll need you too though" Caroline brought out two perfectly spherical pink pearl earrings.

Caroline gently placed them on Ash's earlobes and slid on like magic, almost as if they were already pierced, Ash took no time in realizing what he had on his ears and smiled at how they clung to his smaller and more feminine ears.

She eyes lit up, even if closed as she had a giddy smile on her face as she felt the pink pearls on her ears, she kept her eyes shut still, wondering next up and asked "So Caroline, what's next?"

Caroline smiled at Ash's enthusiasm "It's the best part, makeover time!~" she said as she got out a foundation puff and started to lightly apply it to his face, shrinking his nose slightly and smoothed the rest of his face out to match her own in general shape.

Caroline giggled and booped Ash's cute nose and giggled "Much better than your old one, it's so much cuter now~" she sang before Ash nodded in agreement.

Caroline next brought out some tweezers and an eyebrow pencil, picking out a couple of unruly hairs poking out obviously and making his brows take a more feminine shape before shaping them even more with the pencil, making them look like thin feminine arches, much more befitting if a lady.

Caroline smiled and started to stroke Ash's lashes with black mascara, making his lashes longer and lusher to the point where they nearly tickled his eyebrows "Well, now any and all hair is perfect~ Not to mention all of the winks your lashes will be giving~" she sang with a small smile, with Ash silently agreeing with her out of a want to not mess Caroline up.

Next up Caroline asked Ash to open his eyes and look upwards, away from the mirror, he obliged as something was put into his eyes, he blinked a few times before his eyes grew bigger and more feminine than before, his eyes now an alluring purple due to some dissolving contact lenses, which ended up changing his eyes to be a perfect match to Caroline's own.

"Well, I'm certain that all the boys will on their knees once you even give them a glace" Caroline giggled and Ash couldn't help but copy her, despite him not knowing the exacts of what happened to his eyes but he assumed it was an improvement over his bland old brown ones.

Next up was some blush, which Caroline gently dusted Ash's cheeks with, erasing his birthmarks from his face and raising his cheekbones to be higher, his chin and jaw being shrunk to a more feminine size as even inside of Ash's mouth his teeth became whiter, cleaner and more aligned.

"Ah, now you have the face of a woman ready for love~" Caroline sung with a smile as she set the blush down onto the table as Ash patiently waited in a mix of excitement, glee and anticipation.

Ash, almost as if already knowing what was next, puckered his lips into a kiss-like state and held his eyes even further shut and waited as Caroline applied some deep red lipstick onto his lips, after Caroline traced his lips, Ash sucked in his lips and let them out with a pop sound, once he let them out he smiled with his plumper and glossy red lips.

Caroline giggled at Ash's almost instinctual reaction "Well, those lips look so nice, no boy will be able to resist going for you, not to mention that their perfect for kissing with~" she said sweetly before a thought crossed her mind "Oh Ash~ I have something else for you~" she sang as she got out a small orange tablet from her table.

"Oh? What is it?" Ash asked in curiosity as the physically identical woman as she felt something get place in her palm, something small and pill-shaped... but Ash shrugged and put it in her mouth and swallowed it, it tasted sweet and had an orange flavor as well, odd but she didn't mind...

Caroline smiled as Ash started to cough into his fist, his voice was beginning to raise, become much more feminine, more womanly, and much better than his old childish grating voice.

"Now... open your eyes nice and slowly and don't say anything until you see the new you~" Caroline sung as she pulled Ash to her feet with Ash obliging and slowly opening his eyelids before gasping in joy, hearing a voice identical to Caroline's.

Soon enough, she saw her face, her pretty purple eyes staring back through the mirror, her perfectly made up face copying her every movement, her parted red lips from her gasp, sh-she looked so... perfect...

She was speechless for a few moments, in utter awe of her new body before lightly coughing into her palm and her eyes lighting up with stars glowing in them "My dear goodness! I look so beautiful! My voice sounds so much more mature!" she said, barely keeping her excitement.

Caroline smiled even wider than she ever had done so before and whispered into Ash's ears "Good... You're now me in every single way... your blood, organs, sweat, bones... all of it matching my DNA... but Ash isn't really a name for a woman like you so how about we call you... Caroline~"

Ash, or rather Caroline, smiled and shuddered, completely agreeing with the other woman in the room before saying "It sounds wonderful, our name is beautiful~" and admiring her new body in the mirror.

However, the first Caroline was not quite done as of yet as she brought out a bottle of orange perfume and gave it to the other woman "But before anything else, how about you use this... and then goodbye Ash Ketchum!" She trailed off and looked at the eager woman in front of her.

"Of course!" The second Caroline said with an air of finality before the she brought the spray up to her face and squeezed the releaser, flower-scented perfume spritzed her face, coughing lightly, the blast went up through her small nose and traveled up to her brain to finish the original Caroline's plan herself.

Caroline's smile grew even wider as the former male did that, skills, opinions, and thoughts invading her mind, her newfound love for fashion and men being at the forefront of her mind with other thoughts like gardening, cooking, cleaning, nail and skin care and anything else remotely feminine, how to move, think, act and talk like Caroline! As well as driving feeling... love... the desire for a husband, not being a trainer who forced their friends into fights, things such as type match-ups, battle knowledge and Pokemon trivia falling into the depths of her mind, practically abandoned.

Ash in that moment figured out what Caroline was doing, she was corrupting and changing him into an exact copy of herself, but in actuality, he didn't mind and even embraced this new change within her, she just need this, she wanted this as well, to become in mind and soul, only able to sigh in pleasure as she willfully resigned herself to her new self.

And to further take this to heart this, she decided to lock away her old memories into the back of her mind, deciding it would be better to ignore her old memories, after all, she wasn't the brutish Ash Ketchum, she was Caroline Maple, her new memories were much more feminine and obviously much more enjoyable, she even let out an unconscious "My head feels... so good~" .

"Why thank you ever so much for doing this Caroline! I was so blind before... but now, thanks to you, I'm sure I will be able to find my love in the future!" Caroline/Ash said with a thankful, excited and utterly joyous expression on her face after she snapped out of her memory induced trance, when one final lingering thought crossed her mind, what about Pikachu? ...But immediately after that Ash suppressed the thought, she was no trainer, she didn't need any Pokemon... not even Pikachu!

Caroline couldn't help but giggle at Ash's face, but there was something that she had to do first... as a final check... "You're very welcome! But before you go, I need to... test something..." she said as she walked to the side of her bed that Ash couldn't see and brought them out, laying them on the vanity.

"What do all of these things mean to you?" She asked as she spread the six items she had out onto the table, including a make-up kit, a box full of Ash's old Gym Badges, a battling magazine, the other magazines about men and fashion from earlier, random pieces of girly clothing; from bikinis to dresses and finally... his prized Kanto hat, the only piece of his old clothes that Caroline had decided not to burn in order to test her physical clone, after all according to May, Ash had chased a recently evolved Primeape to get it back.

She moved back in order to observe Ash's movements and reactions, somewhat expecting Caroline to be deep in thought with her thoughts and choices, even a little bit of her thought Ash would sway her back to her old ways... however that was not the case...

Her eyes instantly looked over too the left side of the table, where the make-up, outfits and magazines he read were placed and smiled at them. "Oh those outfits look absolutely divine Caroline! And the contents of that box I'm sure would go wonderfully with them. Not to mention that those magazines are absolutely sublime to read!" she said, full of bliss, as she moved them further away from his old thing.

Next she made sure to keep her eyes away from the other three objects and began to speak about them with some underlying disgust easily heard in her voice "Well, these please badges clearly are from gym battles and you know how I feel that battling is too brutish for me to take part in, the same goes for that magazine and finally... that old hat would do much better with your son, Max!"

The real Caroline beamed joyously as she heard "Caroline's" reply, knowing that she had successfully corrupted Ash down to his very soul, and was glad to see her ignoring her past self. There was absolutely no way she'd want to go back to being Ash or even reminded of her old self now.

Caroline smiled and had a thought on how for Ash to keep these as a gift and merely said "Caroline? Would you like to keep those items? I believe that is something you might like~"

"Oh definitely Caroline... but just one minor inconvenience... how would I carry it?" she asked in curiosity before she had a few idle thoughts, she truly was glad she was no longer a battle hungry hog who chased after a pointless and unachievable dream, what even was a Pokemon Master meant to be in the first place.

Caroline smiked even more as she brought out an maroon purse filled with a few coupons for salons, some money, a credit card under the new Caroline's name and finally her new ID, which was matching in all of aspects information to Caroline, as well as a handbag with a matching design to her skirt, she smiled and said "I think it would have a good idea for you to take these as well, they go well with your style!"

"Thank you so much Caroline" Ash replied gratefully and smiled before she put the purse, clothes and magazines into the handbag, keeping the make-up seperate due to the box having a handle.

"Your welcome, with beauty like that I'm more than sure that you'll be able to find a cute husband for yourself, after all, you are seeking love!" Caroline said with a smile.

"Of course! I just hope things will go well and romantically once I find my future beloved!~" "Caroline" exclaimed cheerfully before picking the handbag up and pulling it over her shoulder and adjusting it so it seemlessly blended with her outfit, thinking of the possibilities of who he could find!

Suddenly, a recent memory flew through the original Caroline's head and her eyes lit up with a spark "I think I may know somebody you will like~" she sung with a knowing glint in her eyes.

Ash looked over at Caroline with interested and excited eyes when he heard that "You do!? Oh Caroline! Please, tell me who?" she asked with stars in her eyes, blissfully thinking of all of the lovely feminine things she could embrace.

Caroline giggled and smiled at Ash's enthusiasm "It's a rather funny story actually, the other day I went grocery shopping when I tripped! I nearly injured my back but fortunately a handsome young man wearing a suit caught me bridal style, he instantly fell in love with me and he was rather cute. As a matter of fact, he wanted to marry me on the spot, however as you know, I'm already a married woman."

Caroline took a short moment to regain her breath before continuing with her story, Ash being very emotionally invested in it. "Of course though, I didn't want to tell him that because it could have very well rendered him depressed, I politely said that I was unsure but he just gave me the engagement ring and told me that when I had made my mind up, that I would visit him and wear it as a sign of agreement... so... I've been saving it... just for you Caroline~"

She quickly opened a draw in the vanity for Ash too soo a simple black ring box, inside of it being red cushion snd the ring, it was made of gold and slim with ruby encrusted into it, emeralds and sapphires lining the outside of it, it looked so expensive! and so perfect too!

Little did the former male know, but this was the real reason why Caroline had done this for him, to send a twin of hers to be some random guy who proposed to her's wife just to stur up love in Petalburg, and while it wasn't meant specifically for Ash, she was glad she got to do this when the opportunity arose.

Ash didn't hesitate to put it on his right ring finger and smiled with an extreme amount of joy "Oh, how romantic! I'll more than gladly accept that offer! I'll wear this ring and treasure it forever!" Ash gushed gleefully before picking the make-up bix up with her left hand, but that's when she realised something "Caroline, where exactly does he live?" Ash asked.

Caroline smiled and brought out a brown Pokenav and gave it to Ash, a house in Petalburg highlighted by on the digital map "Right here!" she said before taking Caroline downstairs and out into the entrance "Now... walk freely as the new you Caroline!" she said before unlocking the front door and holding it open.

Caroline smiled back warmly and merely waved lightly as she walked outside, "Farewell for now, Caroline, and thank you once again for helping me!" she thanked before she closed the door behind her lightly.

Rays of sunlight happily shone down onto Caroline's form aa she began to walk away from the Maple household, walking with swaying hips and bouncing breasts, proud of the woman she is!

Under her breath, she whispered happily "Thank you so much for this, for a second chance at love... as Caroline Maple..." She continued on her way with a smile, on her way to meet her new love face on!
