Chapter 3. Human or Pokémon?

Authors Note

Hey guys! L.C. Trooper Here with yet another chapter. (Woo-Hoo!) Before I start, I have to ask that if you guys make a review, could you make sure to leave a pm instead if you have a short question. Thanks!

Oh yeah, last thing, like all the other author have stated before in disclaimers: I don't own Pokémon

Without further ado, Aura Mishap: Ch. 3

During that deep slumber, I dreamt about the times I spent with Sir Aarons Lucario and learned about Aura from him. The time that kept coming up while I slept was the time we had to save Mew by creating and Aura-like bubble around it. I could see Lucario's face clearly, the way he scowled his face, the way he held out his arms to hold the bubble together, and the way he saved my life by shoving me out of the way to protect me from the radiation and instability of it. I started coming to when I heard the others talking.

"Pika!"

"What is that thing?!"

"I think it's a Lucario."

"Hey, where's Ash?"

"Did it eat him?"

"No! Of course not, does it look like it ate him!"

Wondering what they were talking about, I started to open my eyes.

"Look, I think it's waking up." I saw a blurry Max say. I started looking around the room and noticed that everyone was staring at me.

"What do you think it will do?" May whispered to the others with worried look on her face.

Wondering why May was so scared, I tried asking jokingly, "What's wrong May? You look like you've seen a ghost." But instead of that coming out, all that came out of my mouth was a bunch of grrs and grunts. That seemed to startle May, but not as I scared myself. I moved my hand to cover my mouth out of surprise. That's when I discovered that I did not have a human mouth anymore, in it's place was a canine-like snout. The second thing I fond was that instead of my hands covering my new snout were black, 3 fingered paws that had spikes on the backs of them. I was so frightened from this sight that I tried hiding myself under the covers of the bed. Tried too, at least. My ears bent back so far that they pushed me back to the surface.

"I think you scared it more that it scared you May." Max chucked to the cowering May.

"I wonder if it is Ash," Brock continued, "I'll ask it some questions."

"Hold on Brock, how do you know it won't hurt you

I poked my head from the covers hearing this and, of course, I got my newly formed muzzle stuck in some tangled sheets. Getting mad with this, I started trying to shove the blankets off my muzzle, only resulting with me falling off the bed and smashing my new tail. "Yeooow!" I yelped while leaping up holding my poor tail. Once I finally settled down, I looked over at my laughing audience. I glared at them, and seemed to shut the up.

"Ok, ok…" Brock wheezed out while laughing hysterically, "Now can I ask the questions?" I nodded, and he handed me a piece of paper and a pencil.

"First, if you are Ash, do you know who we are?" I tried to write down their names only with little success. I looked over at Max and motioned him to and help me write. With a little help, I managed to write down crude, but legible, names of the rest of the group that went Brock, Max, May, and Pikachu.

"Ok, good! Next question, did you defeat a Darkrai during the Hoenn Pokémon League?" That was easy, of course I did, I beat that cheater with good old Sceptile. Again, with Brocks help, I wrote down the words Yes, I did with Sceptile.

"Amazing! Ok, this is the last question. Was Misty ever afraid of bug type Pokemon?" Brock questioned with a nostalgic look in his eyes. Hmm, was she afraid of Pokémon ever? I thought really hard. I then remembered meeting Misty for the first time and always criticizing her for disliking bug- type Pokémon. I wrote down Yes.

"So, are you Ash?" Brock asked with a sense of nervousness. I confirmed everyone's suspicions with sad nod. My gesture moved everyone to a very quiet state for a while, all of us were just trying to accept this new reality.

"So, what are we going to do now?" May asked, breaking the long silence.

"I think we should stay here a little longer and see if Ash gets better." Brock sighed.

Over the next few hours we lied around and did nothing except watch battle tournaments on the tv. at around 3:00 p.m, Brock asked if I wanted to go check in with Professor Oak. I nodded and started went into the bathroom to get dressed. the socks and shirt were easy, but putting on my jeans was near impossible. After trying at least 5 times to get them on with no success, I gave up. I opened the door and I chucked the pants across the room and curled up in the cornered of the bathroom, and started to cry. May noticed my frustration and came over.

"Hey, Ash, it's ok." May comforted me. "You are the same person you were before all of this happened, the only thing that has changed about you is your appearance."

I looked up at her with tears in my eyes and asked her, "Really?" But all that came out was a questioning and sniffled "Ggrraa?"

"No matter what you look like, no matter the way you act, and no matter what you feel like, you are still Ash Ketchum to us." She soothed and began to chuckle. "Besides it would look out of place if a Pokémon wore cloths!"

I wiped my eyes and tried to say, 'Thanks May,' but what came out was, "Grrr grunt."

"Ha ha! I take it you said thanks." May laughed from the sudden outburst of series of grunts, "Oh yeah, you may not be able to wear your cloths, but you can still wear your hat! Hold on!" she then proceeded to get up, taking my hat with her, and left to go get something from the other room.

Thank you May. I echoed in my head.

And that's a wrap. Thank you guys so much for reading this fanfic. Please leave a review about the chapter and pm me if you have any questions!
