Disclaimer: Here we go, the next chapter; sorry this took so long life was busy on my end, but I won't drag this on and get on with this chapter.
And before anyone asks me, Ash won't be getting Chloe from the Journeys series as his mate. I should bring this up.
Chapter 23: Confessions
"Wait, what do you mean reborn?" asked a shocked Daisy, especially as she didn't like the sound of this one bit, nor did Lily and Violet as they looked at Setsuna. "And what exactly is this plan?"
"So sorry, I can't tell you that," said Setsuna, shaking her head as it would not only spoil the surprise but also hinder the plan if she revealed it to them. "Don't worry, you'll find out soon enough…."
This made Misty's older sisters scowl, preparing to reach for their respective Poké Balls when they noticed something was wrong. "Wait, what the hell?!" exclaimed Violet in disbelief upon discovering that she wasn't feeling any of her Poké Balls. "Where are my Pokémon?!"
"Mine are gone too!"
"And mine!" added Daisy as she was shocked by the fact their Water-types were not in their possession anymore and then heard giggling as the three turned towards Gabriel, Umbreon, and the Dewgong girl, each holding the Poké Balls. "Oh no, don't tell me!"
"So sorry, we can't have you sending out your Pokémon and using this as a chance to escape," Gabriel told the Sensational Sisters, much to their shock.
Umbreon nodded her head in agreement. "Yes, we've had enough of people escaping from us when we least expect it," she told the three female humans with a seductive smile. "So, it's best to not take any more chances."
"Indeed," added the Dewgong girl, honestly admitting that Lily and Violet were cute, knowing Tracey had taken Daisy as his mate. "You'll get them back… once they too are reborn alongside you."
Daisy growled at having been stripped of their Pokémon without even realizing it. "You are all fucked in the head, you know that!" she yelled in anger, even though they were outnumbered.
"She's right!" said a furious Violet as she wished that there was something they'd be able to do as she didn't want to think about what was about to happen should that bitch of a ghost indeed get her way with the three of them. "This is just plain wrong, not to mention disgusting!"
The female hybrids giggled at this as they merely looked at their mistress. "It won't matter," the Dewgong girl told the three, but she continued looking at Setsuna. "Once our mistress has helped you three, I know you'll fill much better with this new life she'll grant you."
Setsuna nodded with a smile as she looked at the three knowing she needed to use her magic on the three to speed up their transformation into hybrids. "You see, once the three of you have been reborn as sexy hybrids. You'll help me get your sister to join me once again," Setsuna spoke with a creepy smile before her attention turned to Daisy. "And you can be with your mate. Tracey, I think, was his name?"
Daisy didn't say anything as she only looked at Setsuna with hate, thinking about what this evil woman had done to her baby sister. "You'll pay for what you've done," Daisy said with a growl. She still had no idea what Setsuna would do to her.
Lily and Violet nodded as they looked at Setsuna, who never once stopped smiling at the three. "Yeah, we know Ash and our baby sister will stop you!"
Setsuna smiled at the three sisters as she could see the defiance the three siblings continued to show. It brought Setsuna some amusement as she looked at the three, knowing their fight would soon end once they joined her as hybrids.
Setsuna laughed as the three sisters all looked at this crazy ghost woman, but soon she calmed herself down from her laughter. "The three of you may fight this wonderful gift. Despite this foolishness and the disrespect you have shown me, I shall still grant you a wonderful rebirth into your new lives, my children," Setsuna spoke with Daisy, able to sense the smugness in her voice after saying this.
Setsuna looked at the three and looked at the one with pink hair and smiled as she took a few steps closer. "No, stay away from me you crazy bitch!" Lily cried in fear trying to break free.
Gabriel giggled, holding her tight, and Lily felt the Umbreon girl licking her neck. "You're going to look so fucking sexy once you have fully embraced your rebirth," Gabriel told Lily with a giggle.
Once Lily noticed Setsuna was face to face seeing the woman's hand glowing. "This could hurt you a lot," she whispered in Lily's ear.
Lily panicked as she tried to get free, but she couldn't do anything, thanks to Gabriel's tight grip. "No, stay away from me, don't touch me!" Lily cried with fear as she looked at her sister, who wanted to help their sister.
Daisy and Violet could only watch with tears forming in their eyes as Lily screamed in utter pain once Setsuna placed her hand on Lily's head. The two watched with fear as Lily screamed in great pain, but that pain soon changed to moaning.
"Ahh, I feel strange," Lily cried as she looked at her sisters; Gabriel smiled and lit the girl go free, knowing she would soon undergo her transformation.
"Oh, no, Lily, what's happening to her?!"
"Isn't it obvious?" asked a smiling Gabriel, watching as Lily suddenly sprouted a horn on her forehead. A horn usually found on the Water-type Pokémon, Goldeen had formed. "Oh my, what a very beautiful horn you have there. It suits you perfectly."
"My horn?!" exclaimed a shocked Lily, feeling the horn that was now on her forehead, horrifying her even more upon noticing it wasn't fake due to it not budging without her feeling pain. "Oh my god…."
Daisy turned towards Setsuna with hatred filling her eyes. "What the hell did you do to Lily?" she demanded, wanting answers from the malicious spirit, wishing she could slap her across the face for what she's done to poor Lily.
"I haven't done anything, so to speak," Setsuna replied with a shrug. "Gabriel is helping her to embrace her true self better… and soon she'll be delighted once her transformation's complete."
"You're sick!" scowled Violet, although neither she nor Daisy could do anything about it as they found themselves grabbed by Umbreon and the Dewgong girl with the spirit and Gabriel. "Let us go!"
"Not quite yet. Besides, if we do, you'll just try to run away again," said Setsuna, knowing that it was about time that came to a complete stop, not wanting her plans hindered anymore because of either interference or sheer dumb luck. "Besides, you should be honored to see what will happen to Lily."
"Oh yes, and it won't be long before her transformation's complete," added Umbreon as she could see Lily feeling hot the more she transformed, sprouting a tail like Goldeen itself almost immediately. "See, she's becoming sexier with each passing second."
"Indeed, and soon we'll have ourselves a potential new lover to boot."
Both Violet and Daisy cringed at the sight of both female hybrids drooling over the sight of Lily's transformation. Unfortunately, they couldn't do anything about it due to their current situation. "I wish I had Misty's sheer determination right now," said the frowning blue-haired woman with a frown, knowing it was only a matter of time before they suffered this fate too.
"Same here," Daisy replied; part of her wished that they could've become stronger as well, especially since Misty had far surpassed them in skill following her travels with Ash through Kanto, the Orange Islands, and Johto, as well as becoming the Gym Leader of Cerulean. "The more I think about our situation, the more worried I am."
"You don't have to worry about it any longer," Gabriel replied to the sisters as it was clear that Lily's transformation into a Goldeen hybrid was close to completion. "The transformation is almost complete, and soon it'll be your turn next, something that makes me all the more excited since we want to see what you will all become."
Lily tried to keep fighting the changes happening to her body, but the pink-haired woman was finding this harder with each passing second. Lily let out a moan as everyone watched, some with fear, others with joy, as Lily fell to the ground.
"Lily!" Daisy cried out, trying to reach out to her sister, but she knew she couldn't help Lily. All Daisy could do was only watched her transformation. Daisy knew Violet was worried as Lily wasn't crying in pain but moaning with lust. "No, Lily, don't let this crazy bitch win!" Daisy yelled, but her plea fell on deaf ears as Lily moaned.
However, Lily ignored her older sister crying out with fear over what was happening. Lily didn't even pay attention as her legs began fusing, creating a new fin. Even her skin started turning white as Lily removed her clothes, wanting to play with her breasts. "Ahh I feel so good!" Lily cried as she could feel her breasts growing, making the transforming woman smile.
"Lily, what are you doing you shouldn't be enjoying this!" Violet cried out, but Lily ignored her two sisters as Daisy and Violet watched the Dewgong woman help her. First, by kissing Lily, who moaned into the kiss wanting more from the Dewgong hybrid.
Daisy and Violet watched as the Dewgong woman started to please their sister. "Ahh yes, I feel so good!" Lily cried with lust, not looking at her two sisters.
The Dewgong woman smiled before forcing Lily to the ground and soon began licking her pussy. "Ohh, you're becoming so sexy," she said with a grin as Lily continued her change. "Hmm, and your pussy tastes so good, too," the Dewgong girl moaned, wanting to have some fun with the Goldeen girl.
Lily moaned as she continued her rebirth, as Setsuna called it, and she could feel her mind fading. And somehow, Lily didn't care about this anymore since all she wanted was this amazing pleasure to continue.
The Dewgong woman smiled, seeing how lovely and sexy Lily was turning out, and could see her transformation coming to an end. The Dewgong woman watched Lily's arms and hands becoming fins. "Don't worry, I know what it's like losing your hands it won't matter," the Dewgong woman told Lily with a seductive grin before returning to pleasing the new hybrid.
Lily cried in pleasure once she felt the Dewgong woman using her tongue on her wet pussy. "Ahh, yes more, please give me more!" Lily cried out with lust.
As their sister cried out with more lust, Daisy and Violet were forced to watch the display. The two sisters knew they had lost Lily to this forest and to the woman who caused this to happen to Lily. "What should we do, Daisy? We need to help her, Daisy, or snap Lily out of this," Violet told Daisy, but she could see she had a hopeless look on her face as they watched Lily.
"I don't know," Daisy said, but the two heard Setsuna laugh at the fear the two were showing. "Laugh it up, you crazy bitch," Daisy thought as the moans she could hear coming from Lily's lovemaking made it hard for Daisy to say anything.
The two siblings soon stopped the thoughts of fear running through their minds as Lily cried out with pleasure. "Ahh, yes, more lick my pussy, more!" Lily cried as the Dewgong woman giggled, doing what the Goldeen woman told her.
"Oh, it's so wonderful," Umbreon said with joy, watching the two mated as she looked at her mate and kissed her. "Soon, you two will join
your sister," Umbreon told the two siblings, but she looked at Daisy. "Don't worry; we told you before you can have fun with your mate."
"Yes, you two will soon be reborn, just like your sister," Setsuna said with utter glee wanting to watch Lily. "My child, how do you feel now that you have been reborn into this new and wonderful life?"
Lily gave a soft moan turn her head slightly to look at Setsuna. "I love it mistress Setsuna. I'm so happy to have this new life and AHHHH!" Lily cried as the two lovers were now rubbing their pussies together. "More Dewgong, give me more!"
"Ahh, my name is Mindy," she moaned as Setsuna only smiled, watching the two new lovers kissing each other as she looked at Daisy and Violet.
"You see," Setsuna began with a grin. "Your sister is happy with her new life, just like Misty was happy before her foolish human mind came back to stop all my wonderful plans."
Gabriel nodded, wishing this didn't happen as she was still trying to work out how this could have happened. "Still, we'll get all of them back to our side," she said with a grin thinking of ways to get Ashley back to their side.
"Yes, my dear Gabriel Zoey T and her sister are going after them and will keep an eye on them," Setsuna told Gabriel, seeing the smile on the Umbreon woman. Still, Setsuna knew she would need to deal with Lucario and ensure he and her former friends would stand in her way. "Now, I think that you two are next," Setsuna spoke with an odd calmness that neither Daisy nor Violet liked hearing.
It only made things worse as Lily giggled at the two. "Yes, just let it happy you two. You'll become so sexy, and you can find a wonderful mate like I have with Mindy here," Lily told her sister with a seductive grin. "Once you have become like me, we can help our baby sister join us."
Daisy and Violet frowned as they watched Setsuna's hand glow, and all the two sisters could do was scream the moment her hand touched the two siblings. All while Lily, her mate Mindy, Gabriel, and Umbreon watched the rebirth.
Elsewhere, in the forest, Misty woke up with a jump, feeling something terrible had happened, but the Azumarill wasn't sure what the feeling was; Misty just knew it was bad. "Why am I feeling this?" Misty thought, placing her hand over her heart.
"Misty what wrong?" Ash asked as she had woken up, looking at her with concern.
"I don't know, but I have a feeling something bad happened and I'm not sure what."
This started making Ash frown, especially as they still had no idea what they needed to do to stop Setsuna for good and prevent her rebirth from happening. "Is that right?" she asked the Tomboyish Mermaid, feeling that they needed to have a word with Lucario on the matter, although they feared eventually, he'll be back in the afterlife, and they wouldn't stand a chance against the malicious spirit in question.
All Misty did was slowly nod her head. "Yeah, and it really makes me frightened, much like when he had to part ways with each other after the Johto League Silver Conference," she replied to the Pikachu girl as she thought back to their final conversation back then.
"Don't remind me…" said Ash with a frown; it pained her having to say goodbye to Brock and Misty, even though she did see them again at one point or another on her journey to become a Pokémon Master. "To be honest, when you were finally given your bike back, I thought you'd be happy that I no longer had to owe you a new one. At the same time, though, I was surprised when you stormed off without telling me what was wrong until Brock mentioned how you wanted to continue traveling with us."
The orange-haired hybrid started frowning again, thinking about it and the moment when Ash and Brock helped her against the Invincible Pokémon Brothers at Viridian City, even when Jessie, James, and Meowth later showed up to complicate things further. "I was so upset, even more so when I thought you didn't even care that we were going to be splitting up on that day," she said, deciding to finally, after so long, tell Ash everything.
"Really?"
"Yeah, but there's something else you should know," she took a deep breath before continuing with what she wanted to tell her but never got the chance to do so because of what led to them having to go their separate ways. "The thing is, Ash is that I don't care about my bike. I never cared about it all the time we were together. I loved it, Ash all of it."
Ash was rather surprised; this was the first real-time Misty had ever decided to tell her everything, especially as she had no idea she'd been that upset about leaving. "So does that mean you honestly hated having been made the Gym Leader of Cerulean?" she asked since part of her felt stupid about saying this.
This made her oldest female companion nod her head slowly. "Yes, I hated it Ash the fact I can never achieve my dream ever again because of it," she replied with her head lowered. "What I'm trying to tell you, Ash is that I love you, want to be your girlfriend, I want to get married to you, have kids with you, and I want to grow old together."
Hearing those words coming from Misty, Ash was left completely speechless, and like the Tomboyish Mermaid, she wanted to cry, but at the same time, she was also happy that her friend finally decided to reveal the truth. Misty then did something she would never have done in her life; she grabbed Ash and hugged her so tight that she didn't want to let go of her despite the moment of silence between the two. The only thing the Pikachu girl could do was smile at her as she hugged her back so that she could let her know she was there. Slowly the two looked into each other's eyes; both of their heads moved closer to each other, as did their lips, till, at last, both lips met each other.
"I'm doing it. I'm kissing Ash/Misty," They both thought at the same time, happy to be kissing.
The two soon had to stop kissing when they both needed air; looking at each other with love, the two lovers smiled. Neither Ash nor Misty knew that their friends were watching them; all of their friends were happy that the two were together at last. Even Lisa herself couldn't help but smile when seeing the moment the two had with one another.
"I love you, Ash!"
"I love you too, Misty!"
Ash smiled, holding Misty close wanting to stay like this. "At least if we lose, I know we'll have a family since I already impregnated you when I lost my mind."
Misty smiled and placed a hand on her stomach, knowing the Pikachu girl was telling the truth. Misty knew she wouldn't be the only mother as she looked over at May, Dawn, and even Lisa. "Yeah, I know," Misty said, looking at the others with a smile, but she knew they could work this out later.
The two of them once again kissed each other, and after it was over, the two lovers went back to meet with the others. At this point, they saw Lucario smiling, as it seemed he knew it was a matter of time before they finally decided to reveal the truth, and Ash found herself surrounded by a familiar blue aura. "What's happening?" asked the Pikachu Girl in surprise when noticing that she was exhibiting her power suddenly, which only made the deceased Fighting/Steel-type smile even more when witnessing this.
'It seems you have actually unlocked the next stage of your power,' said the Aura Pokémon, as the fact Ash and Misty revealed their true feelings for one another was needed for it to occur, and it'll prove even more beneficial to saving the Pokémon World from Setsuna. 'I remember how it took Sir Aaron longer to eventually do the same thing.'
Ash and Misty looked at the deceased Pokémon with even more surprise. "Is this true?" asked the Tomboyish Mermaid.
'Yes, and that is one of the requirements needed for him to finally become a fully-realized Aura Guardian,' Lucario replied, knowing that there was something else he had been meaning to ask of Misty specifically since it's clear she never wanted to be made the Cerulean Gym Leader at all from what he learned. 'If I may ask, how exactly did you feel when you first realized that you actually had feelings for Ash?'
"Well, it's complicated," said Misty as memories of her time with Togepi when the two were returning to Cerulean City following the Johto League Silver Conference flashed before her very eyes. "Trust me, I'm not kidding when I say it's going to be quite a long story."
Flashback
Misty had to set up camp for the night after parting ways with Ash and Brock, but as she was doing so, she had a strange feeling in her heart that something was wrong; what was it? Slowly moving her hand to her heart, it hurt since she only knew they might never see each other again. Slowly Misty fell to the ground and cried her heart out; part of her was glad that Ash was not here to see her like this. Another part of her wanted Ash to be here so that Misty could hold Ash close to her, and Misty wanted nothing more than For Ash to hold her in his arms.
"It's not fair!" Misty whispered quietly but angrily.
She didn't want to leave Ash and Brock. She loved traveling the world, meeting amazing people and mysterious Pokémon, discovering new cultures, and participating in different rituals. For the last few years, she had felt free. She felt she could go wherever the path led her and do whatever she wanted. She didn't need a place to call home, and she didn't need her sisters. She didn't think she was attached to anything, but now Misty realized that she had been tied down to something all that time and that something was Ash. She had a family in Ash and Brock, and she had become so attached that she was almost dependent on them.
"WHY! I loved him now. I will never get to tell Ash how I feel about him!" Misty shouted as she punched to the ground.
Togepi could see that Misty, her mommy was upset; the baby Pokémon could tell that it was because she had to leave Ash, who Togepi conceded to be her daddy.
Togepi moved closer to her mother, worried about what she was saying, and wanted to make her feel better. 'Mummy, please don't be sad,' she said as she looked at Misty, seeing her tears hurt the baby Pokémon.
Misty looked at her baby Pokémon, trying all she could to smile, but she couldn't find the strength to do so, still feeling the pain in her heart. "I'm okay, Togepi. It hurts that I can't travel with Ash any more, and I hate it."
Togepi continued looking at her mother, seeing her crying. 'Mummy, I know Daddy loves you even the three who chase know it,' she told her mum with a giggle.
Misty was shocked to hear her baby Pokémon say this. She soon started to blush when hearing this from Togepi and could remember Team Rocket teasing her and Ash. "What, come on Togepi don't say things like that," Misty said, still having a deep blush on her face while her baby Pokémon giggled.
Togepi continued looking at her mother, seeing Misty was becoming more embarrassed by the teasing her little Pokémon was doing to her. Misty had a gut feeling that even her sister would tease her if they ever learned how much she loved Ash. "Then again, they are the ones separating me from Ash," She thought, but she couldn't help but smile, thinking about if she did confess her feeling to Ash.
Misty knew if Ash did feel the same way, and deep down in her heart, she hoped he did love her. "That would show them that I have a boyfriend before any of them got one," Misty told Togepi with a smile before she sighed. "But I guess now I can't. What if Ash meets another girl who wants to travel with him?"
'Don't worry, mummy, I'm sure nothing will happen. Maybe when you see him next, you can tell daddy how you feel about him,' Togepi told her mother, which caused Misty to smile, and she picked up her baby Pokémon.
Misty hoped that Togepi was correct and that Ash did love her, feeling this small hope. "Maybe Togepi is right," Misty thought with a smile while holding her little egg Pokémon close to her chest. "Okay, then, Togepi. The next time I see Ash I'll try my best to tell him my feelings," Misty said with a grin as Togepi soon cried with joy.
"Yeah, I know Daddy will say he loves you too mummy," Togepi cried out as Misty giggled, hugging Togepi close to her chest.
Misty soon closed her eyes, knowing she would need to reach the gym soon. "Knowing my sisters, I bet they just up and left. I hope that once they come back in a year. Then I can travel with Ash again," Misty whispered as she closed her eyes, dreaming and hoping she would get the chance to be with Ash someday.
Finishing her story, Misty looked at Ash as she knew that the others were hearing the story, and May still felt bad for her friend. "I think you know what happened when we did get the small chance to see each other again, Ash."
"Oh, Mist," Ash said, tearing up from hearing this. All the Pikachu woman could do was pull Misty closer. "I'm sorry I just wish I knew how you felt, but it doesn't matter now," she began with a cute smile. "We're together now," she finished and kissed Misty on her cheek.
Misty blushed at this and looked at May and the others, but she knew if they did win, how would they deal with the situation? Misty placed a hand on her stomach. She knows full well what they all did when they lost their minds. "We're all pregnant, after all. So how are we going to deal with this once we beat this crazy bitch?" Misty thought, looking at the others, trying to work out how they could work all of this out, so everyone could be happy.
"Misty, what's the matter?" May asked as she moved over to Misty, looking at her friend, seeing she was in deep thought. "Is something still bothering you?"
"Well, there is one thing coming to mind, May," Misty began as Dawn and Lisa looked at Misty. "Look, we all know Ash has impregnated us," she said as all the girls were silent. "Well, not you, Hilda. You're safe unless you want it."
Hilda only blushed at this as she nodded but sighed. "I know Bianca wanted us to mate with Ashley. We were waiting for her to come back with the new girls."
Dawn and Lisa soon looked at each other, knowing Misty had made a good point about what they would do once they were human again. "So, what should we do then?" Dawn said, knowing she didn't like the thought of not leaving Ash. "I know we all have feelings for Ash, so what should we do about this?"
"Yeah, I think we'll leave that to you," Jessie said; she wasn't about to get involved in this mess everyone was in, but she knew it was still hard for all the hybrids. "I'm sure you'll figure it out."
"Jessie's right, and besides we're not good when it comes to love," added James with a frown on his face, knowing there were things they wouldn't be able to help with. "And that's coming from someone who didn't want to get married to Jessiebelle."
"And don't think about dragging me into dis either, given my own stray of bad luck in dat regard," Meowth replied, putting his two cents into the matter as well, and Wobbuffet popped out not long after he said that.
"Wobbuffet!"
Everyone starred at the Team Rocket trio, knowing they would not be much help, given their usual track record. "I think we need to get back to the topic at hand," Macey decided to change the subject since they weren't getting anywhere. "Like stopping Setsuna before her full power is restored."
The other girls nodded their heads. "The problem is we don't know where to start looking without her being one step ahead of us," began a frowning Dawn while looking at the others and then towards Macey again, wishing there was a lead that would help them out.
"Wait, didn't Lisa say something about there's something she wanted to tell us before prior to Lana showing up?" asked May with a frown, turning towards Lisa. "I just hope she's willing to tell us since it's unlikely we'll be having anymore surprise anytime soon."
"Oh yeah, I forgot about that," began Ash, turning her attention to Lisa and becoming even more curious about what she wanted to talk about. "So, will you be able to tell us what you know?"
This made Lisa frown as she felt somewhat uneasy but knew there was no turning back now, and she took a deep brief. "Alright, the truth is…" she began, wishing that she didn't have to do this since it was a secret that had greatly bothered her since she first arrived at the forest they were all in.
"Yes?"
Remaining silent for a moment, she thought about what to say next, and there was some uneasiness within everyone as the Vulpix Girl spoke again. "I'm actually a descendant of Sir Aaron…" she spoke.
Again, there was silence coming from the group; however, they were shocked at the revelation that came from Lisa's lips. "Wait, you're a descendant of Sir Aaron himself?!" asked Ash in dismay while the other girls stayed silent, as did Jessie, James, Meowth, and Wobbuffet.
"I know it's hard to believe, but it's true," said Lisa, part of her wished it had been a joke, but there was some truth that needed to be shared with Ash and the others. "Setsuna somehow knew about this not long after she made me into a hybrid."
"But this doesn't make any sense at all," said Misty while trying to process everything at this very moment, yet she was still having a hard time doing so. "Sir Aaron didn't have any family when he sacrificed himself after sealing Lucario away all those years ago."
'Maybe… or maybe he did, and we didn't realize it sooner.'
Everyone soon looked to see that Lucario had appeared before them again. "Are you sure about this, Lucario?" asked a still confused Dawn while looking at him and then back at Lisa, her head being lowered the whole time ever since revealing the truth to them.
'It would make perfect sense, especially as her having met Ash earlier on before they initially succumbed to Setsuna's power is not just by sheer coincidence,' Lucario replied with a frown on his face, starting to realize how the two even encountered one another in the forest and their eventual ending up together in the process. 'I mean, her Aura must've sensed Ash's during his time here, and this would've somehow sparked his Aura reawakening without either of them realizing it at the time.'
"Really?" a still speechless May asked of the deceased Fighting/Steel-type from Cameron Palace. "Then that means we might have a chance in saving everyone after all?"
'Perhaps, but we would need to help her in fully tapping into that power since it is already starting to reach the next level as a result of her revealing the truth,' said Lucario, sensing the dormant power within Lisa and how it needs to be fully realized alongside Ash's own power so that they'd be able to defeat Setsuna. 'I hope it's alright with you, Lisa.'
Lisa didn't say anything since she was still worried about what could happen; she did turn her attention to Lucario but soon gasped, seeing he was fading. "No, Lucario!" Lisa and the others cried, wondering what was happening.
'I'm running out of time, it seems,' Lucario said with a deep frown as he looked at the others. 'I may only have until tomorrow before I have sadly to leave you all."
"No," Bonnie and a few others whispered, worried that things would turn out far worse with Lucario gone.
Lucario didn't say much, but he did look at his friends. He wished he had more time, but it seemed his time here had come to a conclusive end. Lucario needed to return to the afterlife. 'I'm sorry all of you,' Lucario began looking at the group since he wished he could stay longer. 'I know this is an outcome none of you wanted. I, too, wish I could stay here longer and help all of you,' Lucario spoke, knowing he wouldn't be here to help fight Setsuna.
"Lucario, please don't go," Ash cried out with fear watching Lucario fade, hoping he would have taught her how to use Aura. "I don't think we can do this without you. What if we fall? What if Setsuna wins? Can't you stay just a little longer?" Ash questioned Lucario, hoping he could stay and help with the fight.
Lucario looked at the Pikachu woman knowing how she and the others felt. Sadly there was nothing else he could do to prevent this since he would head back, and Ash and his friends would need to deal with Setsuna. 'I'm sorry, all of you, but there is nothing I can do,' he told the group, seeing their fear in facing Setsuna.
Bonnie hugged her brother as she looked at the others. "But we still need to train how we can use our Aura," Lisa said, looking at Lucario, but that was only one of many things they needed help with since they also needed to find the gem.
Ash looked at Lisa and then at Lucario since the Pikachu hybrids knew they still needed the help, and she had no idea where to find the gem Setsuna had used. "Lucario is there anything you can do to help us?" Ash asked as she looked at her friends.
Lucario smiled at the group, trying to last just a little longer here among the living. 'I know you can do it, Ash, Lisa. You don't need me to teach you how to use your Aura,' he told the two with a smile. 'You will know what to do. Even Sir Aaron never had a proper teacher.'
Ash and Lisa didn't say anything, but the two nodded at Lucario. Until Tracey spoke up next, knowing it was best to ask, they all got the information they could before Lucario left. "Alright then, so what about the gem Setsuna is using? Are we getting closer to finding it?" Tracey asked as Lucario thought about it and soon smiled.
'She still hasn't gone to get it yet, for she needs to keep it in the heart of the forest, the very center,' Lucario said, looking at the group. 'All I know is they hybrids can sense the gem, and if you have Aura, you can sense it better than others.'
"Yeah, and we're getting closer," Lisa said as she closed her eyes, and a small smile formed. Lisa couldn't help but look at her new friends. "Lucario is right. I think we're getting closer."
Ash soon closed her eyes and smiled, Lisa was right, but it would take them two days to reach it. By then, Lucario would have left. "Yeah, but we won't have Lucario with us when we reach it," Ash told Lisa; as the Vulpix woman nodded as they both growled at this.
'Yes, I will, but I will teach you how to destroy the gem and put an end to Setsuna,' Lucario told the group, who nodded at the dead Pokémon.
"What about Setsuna?" May asked, hoping Setsuna wouldn't stay here with the living without the gem.
Lucario thought about it before he answered the brunette hybrids. 'Yes, I believe that without the gem Setsuna will no longer be able to stay here among the living.'
Ash got to her feet, looking at the group, knowing they couldn't wait any time to talk. "Okay, then let's go and stop wasting time," she said as the others nodded, knowing the Pikachu woman was correct since they couldn't waste the time they had left.
Meanwhile, Setsuna smiled as Violet, Daisy, and the two had finished transforming into their new beautiful forms. It made Setsuna smile as she looked at the two siblings who removed their foolish human clothes, thus embracing their new lives. "Ahh, I feel so sexy," Daisy moaned as she played with her breasts. "I need to find my mate."
Violet moaned, agreeing with her sister, watching Lily still having her own fun with her new mate. "I hope I can find a mate too," Violet said, looking at her sister as Daisy was eager to find Tracey.
Setsuna couldn't help but smile as she looked at all three sisters, but her attention was on Daisy and Violet, seeing they had also become water-type hybrids. "Good with their help. I should get Misty back on my side, then maybe the others."
Lily smiled as she looked at the two; she was happy her two sisters had joined her. "Oh, you two look so cute in your new forms," Lily told the two with a giggle while Mindy, her Dewgong mate, nodded in agreement.
Daisy had become a beautiful Primarina hybrid, while Violet had been transformed into a Poliwrath hybrid, which got the attention of the other hybrids, who loved the forms that the two had assumed. "Oh my, you look absolutely sexy," began the Dewgong hybrid, loving the new forms both sisters were now in.
"I concur," added Gabriel with a smile on her face before approaching the two. "So, how do you feel?"
"We feel absolutely sexy, isn't that right, Violet?"
"Yes, we most certainly do," Violet nodded, finding herself aroused by her new body and loving how amazing Daisy and Lily looked. "I'm really happy to be like this, and I hope we can remain this way too."
"Oh, I'm really happy to hear you say that," Gabriel replied with a giggle, knowing it was a matter of time before the sisters all became part of their new family. "Don't worry, we're going to be doing all we can to find Misty and bring her home."
Umbreon nodded her head. "And we're not going to stop until we're successful," she added while thinking about the fun they'll all have once this is over and they're together as it should've been. "Besides, I retained all my abilities as a regular Umbreon so I know we'll be able to find her and the others no problem."
"And once we do, we're going to make certain they won't be able to run away from us anymore," came Zoey T.'s voice as she joined in with her beloved mate. "After all, it's really starting to get annoying every time they manage to get away from us."
"Likewise, even with my Psychic abilities, there seems to be some hidden surprises that we weren't prepared for even when we do get some additional mates," added Gardevoir with a nod of her head, knowing they needed to prepare themselves. "I'm already training myself in order to reveal some new surprises when we find them again."
"That's good, and I really hope that we will be able to find Tracey and Misty as well as Ashley and the others," Daisy replied to her fellow hybrids. "I can't stand the thought of being separated from my fiancé any longer."
"Ah, so you're engaged?"
"To Tracey, yes I am," Daisy told Gabriel with a smile, remembering the day Tracey proposed to her before the events that transpired in the forest and even revealed the lovely engagement ring he got for her. "You can see, he was really sweet to have managed to do so and I hope we'll be able to get married when we're together again."
This made the other hybrids giggle, with Lily and Violet remembering that moment. "Yeah, I can see Mistress Setsuna marrying the two of you almost immediately as we speak," added the now pink-haired Goldeen hybrids. "And I know everyone we love would be present to see this."
"And knowing our baby sister, she would want to marry Ashley and the rest of her mates almost immediately as well," Violet commented with of nod of her head, hoping to help their little sister.
However, it didn't take long before they heard Setsuna wincing, and they noticed that their mistress was kneeling, which started worrying them. "Huh?" asked Zoey T. as she and Gardevoir immediately made their way toward the spirit. "Are you okay, Mistress Setsuna?"
"Yeah, I'll be fine…" said Setsuna with a frown on her face, knowing that she still hadn't fully recovered from the previous encounter and the fact transforming Misty's older sisters somehow started tapping away her strength, so she needed to be more careful. "I should be fine by tomorrow morning."
This made Zoey T. frown, even more, hoping they could do something to help their mistress out while she got her rest. "Are you sure?" she asked with concern on her face.
"Yes, not to worry."
With that, the spirit decided to leave the hybrids alone, most likely to help the Sensational Sisters adapt to their new forms. "I'm really worried for Mistress Setsuna," said Zoey T. as the concern on her face hadn't dissipated at all even after she was assured that everything was fine, suspecting it had something to do with being angry over failing to bring Ashley back to the rest of them.
"Me too," added Gabriel with concern on her face. "If we could bring back our missing hybrids, including Ashley, then she'll be happy again… I know I will be."
This got the attention of the transformed Sensational Sisters. "What exactly happened to Mistress Setsuna to make her feel so down lately?" Daisy was the one who asked them, wanting to hear more about what had transpired before their arrival so they could help.
"It's a long story," said a frowning Umbreon. "We'll explain later, for now, it's time we got you better situation so you can adapt to your new sexy bodies."
The new hybrids all nodded as they giggled and followed their fellow hybrids, the three sisters hoping to find their little sister. Once they did find her, the three would make sure that Misty and the others would rejoin their family.
Meanwhile, Ash and the others were trying to reach the location to end this madness, but everyone was still deeply worried. "Look, should one of more of us leave to you know tell the world what the hell is going on within this forest!" Jessie yelled as the redheaded woman looked at the group.
"Jess is right since the task force who came here did inject with the means that would stop us changing into hybrids," Meowth told the group looking at the remaining humans of the group.
An eery silence fell on the group as Misty looked at the three and then at the humans still left. She wasn't the only one since the same thoughts began filling Ash's mind knowing that Team Rocket was right since they had no idea if this would work.
"Maybe your right," the brunette began, still worried about what could happen as she looked at the group. "But how can we find the way out."
The group looked at May, knowing she was right since they still had trouble finding where to leave this dammed forest. The next problem was that the hybrids would stop any of them from leaving this place.
Lisa seeing this spoke up, knowing that while it was a good plan and hearing what the task force had done, there was a problem with this action. "Well, that could work, but we know about the cure or the means you took to stop it, so the others here will try to stop you three from leaving," Lisa told the group, trying to think what they should do as she hated how Team Rocket was right and the world needed to know what is happening.
"So, you're telling me we're stuck here?" Jessie said with a frown as she looked at Lisa, not happy to hear this unsettling news.
Lisa could hear this anger in Jessie's voice, and part of her couldn't blame the woman. "Well, you could try but if Setsuna knows you can't turn into hybrids well, she'll just kill you like she did with the task force that came here," Lisa said, turning to look at how angry Jessie was becoming.
"How about we just find this damn stone or gem?" Misty asked, not wanting a fight to break out since she could tell tempers were high. "So, please, let's just hurry this up and destroy that damn gem and we can all go back to our lives."
"I hope we can," Bonnie spoke up, now feeling worried about what could happen as Ash and the others all looked at the poor young girl knowing so much as happened. It was more than a girl her age should have gone through.
Her brother wanted nothing more than to take her home so she wouldn't be in any more danger. "It will be okay Bonnie I won't let anything happen to you," he whispered.
"Do you mean it?"
"Of course I do," assured Clemont with a smile, hugging her again. "Trust me, we'll devise a plan to get the gem and destroy it too. All we'll need is enough time to come up with one."
Bonnie remained silent and nodded her blonde head as she felt better, now knowing Clemont made a valid point on the matter and turned her attention towards the others. "Good news is, Setsuna doesn't have any clue where we are since her powers have been greatly weakened somewhat," informed Lucario. "I don't know how long it'll be before those changes."
"Hopefully, it won't be for quite some time," remarked Lisa with a frown. "While I would say we have strength in numbers, she still has many hybrids on her side."
This caused the Team Rocket trio to groan. "That's just great…" they all muttered before Ash and the others began to think about what they needed to do, and they all needed to do it quickly.
"Well, there is this one idea…."
"Huh?" asked Misty as she looked at Ash. "What is it?"
"Lucario did say that Setsuna wanted me as a host, right?" she asked of Misty, which made her and the others rather confused by what their friend turned Pikachu girl was telling them. "Besides, there is a chance she might be expecting all of us to come after the gem."
"Wait, you're not saying that you plan to go in alone?" asked a now very worried Casey. "No way, that's out of the question!"
"Casey's right!" asked Misty with a scowl. "We just got you back, and we're not about to lose you to her again! Not at a time like this!"
"What choice do we have?!" snapped Ash with a frown. "I'm mostly the reason why we're like this in the first place and things have gotten worse even when I tried to help."
"And that's exactly why we're not letting you do this alone, Ash!" said a frowning May. "Besides, we've been through too much to let you try and handle things without us."
The Pikachu woman frowned as she looked at everyone. She knew this was something she wasn't going to be an easy task, and all she wanted was to keep her friends safe and the ones who were left human.
Casey nodded as she looked at Ash and the others beside Team Rocket, who remained silent, only watching the group discuss what they should do next. "We're all in this together Ash," Casey said with a smile, as Ash was going to answer her, but she soon fell to the ground in pain.
"Ahh, please no more!" Casey cried, feeling something else happening to her body as Lisa made sure no one didn't get too close to her.
"Watch out, she could lose her mind if none of us are careful," Lisa said, watching as Casey began changing more into her fully hybrid form. All everyone could do was watch as Casey continued to change.
Casey continued to cry in pain, feeling her whole body changing but the pain soon left as she started moaning. "Why am I moaning? This isn't right. I have to fight this," Casey thought as she began removing her clothes without her knowing it.
"Oh, but it feels good, so you should give in and help Ashley," the voice whispered, and Casey looked around to see where the voice was coming from but found no one.
"What...?" Casey whispered, trying to find the voice as she looked at her fellow hybrids. She could tell all of them were becoming worried for her as Casey continued moaning.
"They can't see me, but I'm sure Lisa told you," the voice teased Casey with a sexy purr to her voice. "Now, how about you look at Ashley. Look at how sexy she looks, don't you agree she looks sexy?"
Casey tried to ignore the voice but found it harder as she kept looking at the Pikachu hybrid. "No, I'm human, not some freak that a power-hungry dead woman wants me to be," Casey cried to the voice, but her gaze continued looking at Ashley. "But she does look sexy. Oh, her butt and her breasts are so big, so sexy, I want to suck on them. I want her to rub her pussy with mine," Casey thought, but her attention looked to the other female hybrids; she wanted them to be her mates.
"Yes, go on make them your mates let dear Ashley mate with you," the voice spoke seductively, wanting Casey to submit to the powers within the forest.
Casey nodded her head, wanting to mate with Ash and the others. The need was growing stronger with each passing minute. The now fully changed Nidoran hybrid looked at her future mates as the voice giggled. "That's give in and join."
When Casey heard this, she snapped out of the thoughts plaguing her worried mind. Casey already knew what the voice was trying. "No, I can't. I won't let you win. The Electabuzz baseball team wouldn't give, and I won't either!" Casey cried with determination as the voice in her mind scowled with anger.
"FINE!" the voice screamed with rage that shocked Casey, but she felt happy she wouldn't be a threat to the others. "But know this I will be free and I will have my mates and then the world will all become hybrids, just like Mistress Setsuna wants."
"What's wrong?"
"I heard a voice in my head just now," Casey explained to the others with a frown on her fearful face, knowing they needed to know. "She tried to make me…."
"Give in to your desires and want to join Setsuna?" asked Ash, finishing for Casey.
This left Casey rather surprised. "How did you know?" she asked, then realized something as she remembered how Ash nearly lost herself when Gabriel found their location earlier and still worried the Pikachu woman.
"Wait a minute, you don't mean."
"It happened to me too," Ash replied to Casey with a frown. "I don't know how long it'll be before it happens again, hence why we need to prepare ourselves for the final battle."
"What do ya mean, we?!" asked Meowth with a scowl as he and his partners in crime glared at Ash for even suggesting they get involved after all the hell they've been through. "Ya don't expect us to help in this suicide mission!"
"Well would you prefer Ash going through this alone?" Dawn asked back with her arms crossed at the trio. "I highly doubt you three would allow that to happen given how you've been following him up until this point."
"You had to bring that up!"
All Misty did was roll her eyes. "Forget it, they're not going to help, and we shouldn't try to force them to do so either," she replied to the others, knowing it was pointless in them all arguing with the three thieves since it'll just waste any time they had left.
"Fine," said May with her arms crossed, knowing they needed to do something to prepare themselves for the confrontation with Setsuna. "So, what do you think we should do?"
Lisa took this moment to think about it, and then something clicked into her mind. "There might be a way to get to her amulet," she told her friends. "It's a bit risky, but I think it'll work out in our favour."
"Oh?" Ash turned towards Lisa, as did the others; they were still curious about what Lisa meant and wondered how to get to the amulet without too much trouble. "What exactly did you have in mind?"
"There's a secret passage that Setsuna told me about when I was still under her influence, it leads to a chamber where her amulet is currently located," Lisa revealed to everyone, although there was something else she needed to tell them. "Getting in is easy, however, getting through it won't be since she has made traps that would activate should anyone, but her make their way towards the chamber."
The group remained silent, thinking it over, knowing this could help them get to the power and undo it for good. Ash sighed, knowing this was it. The battle for their future was riding on this; as she looked at her friends, the Pikachu woman could only hope they could find the gem before Setsuna reached it.
"We need to go, then, since Setsuna could be heading there too," Lisa said with a frown knowing the crazy woman would try and reach the gem. It was something everyone knew they couldn't let happen; if they failed, everyone else would suffer the same fate.
"We have to stop her," Dawn said as the others all looked at the Lopunny hybrid, worried about what Setsuna will do to the rest of the world. "I know this won't be easy, but I'm still worried about what Setsuna will do with our families."
No one said anything but the dark thoughts about what Setsuna would do if she won. It was a worrying thought that soon crossed their minds. "We can't let her change our family," May added, knowing Setsuna would try and turn them if she won.
Ash could feel the same fear, but she couldn't let the growing fear take over; it would only lead to their wild side taking them over again. "Girls we can't think about this," Ash began as the others all looked at him. "If we let it take over than we'll rejoin Setsuna again."
Hilda nodded, looking at Ash since the fear she felt about her mother turning into a hybrid, overthinking about what could happen, it was only giving her hybrid self a chance to get free. "Oh, come on, mother would make for a wonderful hybrid. Wouldn't you agree?" the voice questioned with a tease. "Who knows, maybe our mother along with Ashley's and others will mate."
Hilda was left shocked to hear this and began to blush. "Why would you say something like that?" she asked, but she never got the answer since the voice went silent.
Shaking her head, Hilda looked at her new friends, knowing it was best she didn't mention what the voice had said. Since it was a little embarrassing since their mothers hadn't ever met, and here was the voice in her head telling her that all their mothers could mate.
"Hilda you okay!" Dawn called over to the Liepard woman seeing she was now holding her tail. Dawn could tell something was bothering her, so she placed her furry hand on Hilda's shoulder.
Hilda took a deep breath and nodded before looking at Dawn. "Yeah, I'm good still trying to deal with this madness," Hilda said but noticed Dawn agreeing with her as Lisa was still looking around.
"I hope we can end this too, Hilda," Dawn told her as Hilda looked at the Lopunny woman. Dawn turned slightly to look at Hilda, knowing she was becoming worried. "I'm terrified of what Setsuna will do if we lose. That we'll be trapped as her slaves, but Lucario and the others are right we have to beat her."
A smile formed on Hilda's lips, and she nodded and looked at Lisa, who had a smile. "Okay, I think I know where we are," she told everyone who stared at Lisa with interest.
Ash perked up hearing this as she moved quickly over to Lisa. "That's good then so are we close?" Ash asked, hoping Lisa was right, but soon she and the others all saw the smile she had.
"Yes, we just need to go under this tunnel. The first hybrids she created made it long ago after she fled," Lisa said as she moved an old rock blocking the path.
"I hope we can use this, but what about the rock hybrids?" Misty asked, looking down the dark tunnel with suspicion. "Wouldn't there be some hybrids down in the place waiting for us?"
"Maybe, but I know Setsuna would have called all the hybrids who live her to her side by now," Lisa spoke with uncertainty, but she did push that feeling aside. "We still have to do this okay," Lisa said as she grabbed a torch and used her fire to set it alight, as they would need it to walk in the darkness.
Everyone nodded as they headed into the tunnel, but Lisa looked at her friends and mates. "We need to make sure we are still quiet. I don't know if Setsuna did leave a few hybrids down here," she spoke, her voice still uneasy as the group journeyed in the dark tunnel.
It took nearly an hour, and Lucario could sense they were getting closer to the gem's location. 'We are close, but we all need to be ready. I fear Setsuna will try and do everything to stop us,' Lucario said, but he looked at Ash. 'I must teach you all I know before we move forward,' Lucario told Ash as he then looked at Lisa, who held up her hand.
"I know, I need to do it too, but we need to hurry every moment we are doing this is a chance Setsuna will get to the gem first," Lisa told Lucario, worried about wasting time with training.
Lucario nodded as he looked to the exit of the cave. 'Yes, we need to hurry, I fear Setsuna will try everything, so let us begin before we leave,' Luvario said, looking at Ash and Lisa; the two didn't say anything but nodded.
A/N Yes, it took a while. Sadly my old laptop lost its graphic chip, so I needed a new laptop to do my stories.
Anyway, I hope you all liked it with Casey now fully transformed into a hybrid, but she did fight off her hybrid self. However, we are reaching the end of the story with Lucario teaching Ash and Lisa how to use their Aura.
The final battle is getting closer, but you're all wondering if Ash and our heroes will stop Setsuna. Well, you all need to wait until the next chapter to find out very soon.
