"Go Gliscor!"

Ash looked over and saw a bright light shine before his eyes. Then saw a huge Pokémon towering over him. He then looked behind the Pokémon and saw… Himself as a human!

"Gliscor use X-Scissor!" the human Ash yelled.

"Wait! I'm you!" the Pichu Ash attempted to say before he was hit by the X-Scissor hard. That was when his Pichu instincts kicked in and he did the one thing he was good at right now; he fell to his behind and started crying.

"Pikachu, your trainer is crying in his sleep again." the Buizel stated again.

"I heard you the first time… you know I don't even know your name yet!" Pikachu said as he picked up Ash and started rocking him back and forth. His cries turned to sniffles while Pikachu and the Buizel talked.

"Fine I guess I should tell you about myself…" the Buizel muttered, "My name is, or was I should say, Thomas. I used to be a Pokémon researcher. In fact *Pikachu starts petting Ash's head to calm him down more* the only reason why those goons are able to transform people like this is because they stole my research. I have been like this for about a month."

"Heh, no wonder we didn't see them for a while huh Pikachu?"

Both Thomas and Pikachu look down at Ash as he opened his eyes and noticed where he was at and what was happening.

"Uhhh Pikachu, Why are you holding me and petting my head? Please put me down." Ash said in a way that sounded like he didn't want to be put down.

"Ash, I picked you up and did that because you were crying in your sleep. Did you have a nightmare or something?" asked Pikachu.

Suddenly Ash's eyes became teary again. "Oh daddy it was horrible! I saw this big scary human and he threw out some weird Pokémon who attacked me and…" Ash grunted a little while holding his head, "Sorry Pikachu. What I meant to say was I saw myself as a human and he, or me, or whatever it was, sent out Gliscor and had it use X-Scissor. I tried telling it to stop, but it still hit me. Then I was suddenly overcome by this huge sense of fear and next thing I know I was in your arms being petted."

"Pikachu we have to get a move on and find a cure for this! My lab isn't that far away so let's go!" Thomas exclaimed.

Ash got up and started trying to walk, but he fell on his face and started sniffling again.

"We don't have time for this, Pikachu just pick him up and carry him!" yelled Thomas.

Pikachu picked Ash up and put him on his back. "Whatever you do don't let go, ok Ash?"

"Ok daddy!"

"Hey Pikachu I think that I am getting the hang of walking and running in this body, see?"

Pikachu looked over to Ash and saw him running around the living room in Thomas's house. He couldn't help but smile at the innocent look on his Pichu trainer's face. Then his face became dismal again. Thomas is in the lab trying to find a cure. he thought to himself, What happens if he fails or something? I don't think I can raise a child yet! His thoughts were interrupted when Ash came up and jumped onto his back.

"Daddy, daddy, what's wrong? You weren't moving at all!" Ash said as he looked up into Pikachu's eyes.

Such innocent looking eyes. he thought.

Suddenly Thomas walks out of the lab.

"Uncle Thomas did you see me running? I can run now!" Ash yelled in earnest.

"Ash pull yourself together! That's not good!" Thomas yelled back.

As Ash started tearing up again Pikachu picked him up and started trying to calm him back down.

"And I have some more bad news…" Thomas stated.

"Those hoodlums stole my equipment!"
