"RUN" screamed Ash, dodging a wave of purple electricity, Pikachu on the other hand was busy taking out other pokemon that were being sent at them,
"There's something wrong with these pokemon" said Pikachu as he Iron Tailed a Golem. "Their acting like brainless zombies!" Ash quickly looked at his friend and saw that he was right, the enemy pokemon were just walking foreward and attacking, they didn't try to dodge attacks, not moving to left or right, they just tried (and failed) to get on top of Pikachu, but he also noticed something else. Each of the pokemon hounding his best friend had red glowing eyes and were surrounded in a strange purple mist
"What the.." Ash started to ask until a loud screech stopped him dead in his tracks, the strange Zapdos from before grabbed Ash with it's talons "Heeeeeeeeeeeelp!" he screamed
"Ash!" yelled Pikachu, unable to help his friend, Ash gulped, worried about what that Zapdos would do to him until he heard someone scream
"Solar Beam!" then a huge beam of yellowish white light hit the Zapdos right in the face, causing it to drop Ash
"Hugh" he said as he hit the floor "Who...fired..that...?" he said before passing out.
"Ash!" Pikachu screamed, before getting a smack to the face from a Hitmonchan. "Get... Off... Of...ME!" he screamed, relising the biggest electric attack of his life "CHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU" he yelled as the electricity flowed out of his body, zapping everything around him with an estimated 10,0000 watts of electricity causing every pokemon around him to faint, after that Pikachu ran to his friend
"Come on Ash, wake up!" he said as he shook Ash's shoulders, he then heard a female voice from behind
"He'll be out for a while" Pikachu turns around and sees a Vileplume behind him
"Who are you?" he asked
"My name is Nubtup" said the Vileplume "I'm the one that shot that Solar Beam at the Zapdos" Pikachu looked at Nuptup with awe
"That was..." Nubtup hushed him up.
"Not now, we have to get out of here before they come back for him" Pikachu was about to nod but then he realised
"Wait, what about our friends?" Pikachu asked
"Their fine, but we are going to be mince meat if we don't leave NOW" Pikachu was about to argue when he heard voices.
"Their over there, sir!" Pikachu nodded and lifted Ash's unconsious body on his back,
"Ooof, okay I need to get Ash on a diet" he said, being crushed by the weight of his best friend behind him, after adjusting to the weight crushing his back, ran after Nubtup.
"Ow, where am I?" Ash asked, looking around at the endless white void, only instead of a pond, there was a mirror "Oh, I back here".
"Yep" said the voice,
"Okay, who the heck is saying that!" Ash screamed.
"Turn around" the voice said, and he did just that looking straight at the mirror "Hi" said his reflection,
"Holy Hoppips!" Ash said
"Please don't have a near heart-attack expirience again" said the Fake Ash
"What are you?" Ash stuttered
"I'm you" his reflection "Well, the pokemon part of you anyway".
Ash looked confused, "What?" Fake Ash giggled,
"Hehe, are all humans this thick-headed?"
"HEY" yelled Ash
"Sorry" his reflection said "Well, the first time you turned into a Pikachu there was a small chance of you not changing back, so a part of your mind changed to have Pikachu insticts, and to match your age" Ash looked at his reflection
"Match my age?" he asked
"Well, 10 human years are around 6 to 7 Pikachu years" his reflection informed him.
"Oookay" said Ash, giving up, "Do you have a name?" his reflection nodded
"Yeah, it's Ashchu".
Pikachu looked at Ash, still unconsiuos
"Why did all of this happen? We where just going to Saffron City" Pikachu asked himself
"It's becuase of those guys" said Nubtup, coming inside the cave, Pikachu exploded
"Who are they! What do they want with us and how did the ge a Zapdos!?"
Nubtup sighted "I can only answer the first one. Their name is...Cipher"
