Change of mind

"Ash! Ash wake up! It's time to wake up!" Pikachu called out to Ash as he held him in his arms.

Pikachu heard him murmur a few times, "Daddy… Daddy…" before he woke up.

His eyes widened when he saw Pikachu.

"Daddy! You're ok! Did you beat em? Did you beat up the horrible bad guys?"

Pikachu looked into Ash's eyes and saw only a gleam of Ash's former self in them.

"Uhhh Thomas! Get over here quickly!" He exclaimed.

Thomas started walking over.

"What's wrong?"

"I think Ash is losing himself!"

"What!"

Thomas ran over as fast as he could.

"Give him to me! Hurry!"

Pikachu gave Ash to Thomas and Thomas began looking all over Ash.

"Uncle Thomas what are you doing?" Ash asked innocently.

"Ash you have to fight it!" Thomas yelled.

"Fight what? Daddy already beat the bad guys"

Pikachu couldn't take any more as he collapsed from both grief and exhaustion.

As soon as Ash saw this, he started trying to get away from Thomas to run to Pikachu.

"Uncle Thomas let me go! Daddy's in twoble!"

"Ash sit still I haven't finished examining you…" *Ash shocks him* "Ouch!" he yelled in surprise and dropped Ash.

Ash immediately ran over to Pikachu and started crying.

"Daddy! Daddy! Pweaze be ok Daddy! Uncle Thomas, What's wrong with daddy?"

Thomas chose to take a new approach, despite how it might have an adverse affect on Ash's human subconscious.

"He just tired Ash. You should sleep next to your daddy. I'm sure he would like that!" Thomas said softly.

Ash, who is thinking more like a Pichu now than a human, immediately agrees with Thomas and curls up into a ball next to Pikachu. He falls asleep a few moments later.

Thomas fell backwards onto his butt.

He wasn't supposed to be changing this fast! Something must've quickened the mind adaptation, but what?...

Thomas pondered in his mind for an answer. And he found one a few seconds later.

"That's it!" he exclaimed before slapping a hand over his mouth, worried that he might wake up Ash. Ash just snuggled closer to Pikachu at the sound and did nothing else.

It must've been that attack he used on Team Rockets' Seviper! The extra electricity running through his body must have sped up the process of adaptation to that new body! Ohhhh this is bad…

Meanwhile, Team Rocket stirred. Meowth woke up.

"Eh… Where am I?" Meowth said groggily.

Buizel ran up to him and slapped him. He then helped him up by the scruff on his neck.

"If you don't tell me how to reverse this, I WILL KILL YOU!"
