"Oh man, what a night." A young boy moans as he sits up in bed to stretch his arms. He scratches his stomach and yawns once more. "That was the strangest dream." He pulls the cover off and swings his legs to rest them on the floor.

"CHU!!!" He stepped on something fuzzy and screamed. He lay on the ground, a little drained of his energy from the shock. He sits up to see an angry Pikachu.

"Pikachu…" He cocks his head.

"Pika Pi, Pikachu Pika, Pika pi." The Pikachu rambles off.

Then the boy laughs. "You won't believe this, Pikachu! I had the strangest dream! I dreamt that I was a Pikachu, like you. And I had a girlfriend that was a Poliwag and then we go torn apart by this Nidoking and…" The boy stops and his eyes go big. "Oh my goodness, Pikachu. That was real! I forgot, I was a Pikachu! It wasn't a dream. Katherine is gone. She really is gone. I'll probably never see her again!" He cries.

"Pika? Pikachu?" It was Pikachu's turn to cock its head.

"I know it's a bit confusing for you." The boy replies as he wipes his eyes.

He gets up off the floor to get dressed. So, this was what it was like to be a human. Long legs and arms, small ears on the side of your head. Rough hair. His was black. 'Kyle' pulls out a pair of jeans from the closet in the room. This boy must have died in his sleep or something for him to take his soul. After dressing in jeans, a black t-shirt, and then a blue jacket; he automatically puts on this white and red hat. Pikachu hops on his shoulder and his stomach says it was time for breakfast. He goes into the kitchen to see a woman with brown hair over the stove. She turns around with a smile.

"Good morning, Ash. How did you sleep? How about you Pikachu?" The woman says.

"Pika!" Pikachu smiles.

So, Ash was his new name. "I slept pretty good. Had a very weird dream though." He decides to trim it down a little bit and just says: "She left me, Mom."

"Oh, you're still getting over that?" His mother replies. "Look dear, I'm sorry to say this, but all friends have to leave some time. Now, she was a very good buddy, I agree. But please, son, move on."

Ash takes a glass of orange juice. "My girlfriend?"

"She was your girlfriend?!" He caught his mother by surprise. "I thought you two were just friends."

"Uh, yeah…that's right." Ash sips it slowly. "Just in my dream, we were a little closer, that's all."

"Oh, isn't that sweet?" His mother coos. "Would you like blueberries or cinnamon apples on your pancakes?"

"Cinnamon Apples, please." Ash replies and awakes his delicious breakfast.

After a morning of talking with his new mother, he found out he was now Ash Ketchum. A young boy around the age of fourteen. He was a Pokemon trainer who finished in the top sixteen in the Indigo league, was Orange League Champion, and traveled throughout Johto. Pikachu was his first Pokemon and they were best of friends. He supposedly had friends that traveled with him in his Pokemon Journeys. A girl and a boy. And they had just split up to go their separate ways in life. His mother seems to think that Ash took it quite hard. So, he acted like he was still crying over them. The truth was that he was crying for Katherine. He had no idea where or who she was now. He then remembered his promise. He'd find her, no matter what body or name she had now. Ash was going to find his girl again. He was going to be Ash, but live his life again. His life as a Pikachu, with his Poliwag.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"SHUT UP, WILL YA?" A pillow came flying at a young girl's face.

She groans and sits up in bed. "Why should I shut up?" She replies inevitably.

"Ugh! Do you know you talk in your sleep? I can't believe I have to share a room with you now." The other girl in the dark room shouts. She had this snotty tone ringing in her voice.

"Psy!"

"AND TELL THAT STUPID DUCK TO GO TO SLEEP!" The girl yells again.

'Katherine' sighs heavily and falls back down on her pillow to fall back asleep.

After about three more hours, another pillow came hurtling at Katherine's head. She moans and sits up to wipe the sleep from her eyes. Wow, she had arms. It felt so strange. This person must have died in their sleep if she could take over her soul. She finally focuses on the door where an older girl with golden hair stood with her hands on her hips.

"Get up already! It's almost nine o'clock." She says.

"Okay, okay." 'Katherine' replies and gets out of bed to change.

"Good, and while you're at it? Could you make my bed, please?"

"Make your own." She spat back at the blonde girl and slams the door.

'Katherine' looks in the mirror and sees a girl around fifteen with bright red hair and stunning aqua eyes. She searches through her belongings and finds the nametag: Misty Waterflower. So, this was her new name. Those girls must have been her new sisters. The girl that threw the first pillow at her had a different voice then the blonde, so she knew they were different people. Misty takes out a yellow tank top and some blue jean shorts. She combs her hair and puts it up on a pony tail, then goes down to the kitchen.

"Good morning Wanda, Cleo, Roberta." She says instinctively.

"Who's Wanda, Cleo, and Roberta?" Said a girl that Misty recognized as the first pillow thrower.

"Oh, sorry." Misty sighs and takes a seat at the table, after pouring a glass of milk.

"Do you know you talk in your sleep?" She asks again. "And remember, I'm Violet." She laughs.

"Yeah, sure…I talk in my sleep?" Misty takes aback.

"Yup." Violet chuckles. "You were tossing, and turning. Saying over and over: Come back, don't leave me, I'll fight 'em!" The other two girls at the table giggle.

"Hey Misty, say Daisy. DAY-ZEE." Said the blonde.

"Say Lily, LI-LEE." Said another.

"I'm not that dumb." Misty almost throws her milk all over them.

"Then why did you call us Wanda, Cleo, and Roberta?" snaps Lily.

"I was half asleep, that's why." Misty replies.

"Well, I suggest you get over this guy, Misty. He's gotten way too deep down in your brain. I mean, since when did you call after him in your sleep?" Violet said.

Misty chocks. "Kyle?"

"Who's Kyle?" Daisy scrunched up her nose.

"Never mind." Misty looks at the floor.

"Misty, how about you go take a walk. Some fresh air might do you some good. Go get those guys out of your mind. He didn't leave you. You guys all left each other. It was voted on, for Pete's sake!" Lily says in a suave way.

"Okay…I guess you're right." Misty finished her milk and goes out side.

Next door to their house was a big building. She'd heard of these before. They had one in Fuchsia! Did they call them Pokemon Gyms? Oh well, a walk would do her some good. This body was strange. She's seen woman before, it's not like the shape was odd. But walking on such long legs, and having arms. She missed her tail. She was used to it by then because it gave her balance on land. So, a guy had actually left this Misty girl, that now was herself. She could relate to loosing someone special. Like Kyle. That reminded her. The promise. She'd find him no matter what. So, instead of a walk, she headed to the nearest town in a desperate search for her love. But, she was Misty now, not Katherine. She can't call out 'Kyle'! She'd have to live as her. She wasn't a Poliwag anymore, and she wasn't looking for a Pikachu. She was looking for a boy around her age maybe. Maybe he was an old man, or a baby. She finds herself crying. I am Misty Waterflower, she says to herself, I can not forget that. She continues on her walk.
