Rebirth

"Oh hello. Are you this little one's father?" Azelf asked.

Pikachu just nodded.

"Well you should know he's not really a Pichu."

"I know! He's my trainer!" Pikachu responded.

Azelf looked at Jessie and James. "Neither are they! What's going on?"

"What? They aren't pichus! Well then who are they!" Pikachu asked.

"Someone you know…" Azelf said.

"Wait, don't tell me… Team Rocket!" Pikachu exclaimed.

"Yes… I can fix them if you want."

"Really? How about Ash? Can you fix him as well?"

"That depends. Are you sure you want him to go back?"

"What do you mean? He's my best friend and trainer! Of course I do!"

"You're uncertain..."

Pikachu wavered. Am I really? Yes, Ash looks like he's having tons of fun but do I really want that…

"And I can't fix them the way you think."

"What do you mean?"

"I meant I can put their personalities back in front of their primal instincts for now."

Pikachu sighed. "Fine, can you do that to Ash at least?"

"Are you certain?"

"Yes…"

Azelf floated down to Ash and he started floating in the air.

"Daddy! Daddy what's happening?" Ash screamed.

"He's just playing with you! Don't worry!"

As Ash floated down he saw Pikachu. "Pikachu!"

"Ash! You're back to normal?"

"Well as normal as I can be in this body."

Pikachu laughed as Ash turned around and saw Azelf.

"Thanks Azelf!"

"No problem Ash."

"Can I ask you a qwestion?"

"What?"

"Why are you a difwent color cuz I saw an azelf before and he was difwent from you."

"That's cuz I am shiny Ash."

"Shiny?"

"Yeah that's where a Pokémon looks normal but it has a different coloring.

"That's so cool! Right daddy?"

"He's worse off than I thought. You need to go and find the one person who can change him back." Azelf said.

"Whose that?" Pikachu and Ash asked

"Mew!"
