Ash, Gen and Watt where outside the colony picking berries
"Okay, dad said we have about ten minutes, so we better start picking" Watt said, while rumaging through a bush
"Kay" Gen said, picking a few berries and putting them on a leaf he had tied around his neck
"Geez guys" Ash complained "This leaf basket is really itchy" he tugged at the knot around his neck trying to loosen it a little bit
"Don't worry Ash" Watt chuckled "You'll get used to it" the three chus kept collecting fruit for a few more minutes
"Alright" Ash said, lightly squeezing a purple berry to check if it was ripe "My basket is almmost fu- Agh!" he yelled when the berry popped and purple juice went straight for his face
"Ash!" Gen yelled, running to him, but stopped and giggled when he saw Ash's face
"Hey, you okay Ash?" Watt asked
"Yeah, I'm fine" he answered, turning around, causing Gen to crack up
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" the pichu laughed, falling down "Your.. face is hahaha half purple!"
"Huh?" he asked confused
"Oh Arcues, you must have squeezed an Inkan berry" Watt said, a big sweat drop on his forehead "We better head back to the colony, dad can help with that"
"Help? Why don't I just wash it off?" Ash asked, scratching his purple stained cheek
"That's why" Watt said, pointing at Ash's paw "It causes a nasty rash"
"Mnn" Ash grunted, scratching his cheek furiously "Yeah, I think we better go see dad" the three walked off to the colony, a minute later two pikachu and an eevee jumped out of the bushes
"Aw man, I heard him, I know I did" Ashchu whined "Ash, where are you?"
"Hey Bolt!" Gary said "Can you take a look around while I cheer Ashchu up?"
"Yeah" Bolt said, walking to the berry trees. It was really peaceful, and for some reason familiar "Have I been here before?" he suddenly felt a sharp, strong pain on his forehead "Agh"
"Bolt, you ok?" Gary asked
"I'm fine" he said, pressing his paw against his forehead "Just a headache"
"Oh, alright. If you feel weird, go back okay?" Gary asked worried, Bolt nodded looking around
"Why do feel like I've been here before?" he thought, before wincing again in pain "Ow, it feels like my brain is getting squeezed!" he opened his eyes and saw something, another pikachu, but it was kinda transparent, talking to another one
"Dad's gonna have a fit if we don't get back before sunset" one of the strange pikachu said
"Give me a minute, I think I dropped something" the other pikachu said
"Alright" the first one said, before taking off, Bolt looked closer at the glowing pikachu and gasped
"No way, that's... me?" he stuttered in shock. It indeed was him, just a few months (or years in pikachu time) younger
"Ah, there it is!" younger Bolt said, reaching down and grabbing something, it looked like a purple berry "I wonder why Gen want's one of these..."
"Gen? Why does that sound so familiar" Bolt thought and saw the other him run off "Hey, wait!" he tried to keep up, but tripped on a root and fell face first into the dirt
"Bolt! You okay?" Ashchu asked, Gary coming with him
"Yeah, I'm alright" he said, shaking his head to clear it up "Hey, look!" he pointed at the ground
"Pawprints!" Ashchu said "And pikachu ones!" the three nodded to each other and took off inn the dirrection the pawprints went
"What was that? Did I just see myself?" Bolt thought "Augh, my head hurts..."
Ash was scrubbing his face with a mixture of water and pecha berries, washing both the berry juice and the rash away
"You need to be more careful Ash" Ruchu scolded him
"Sorry dad" he said, feeling bad
"It's no big deal, just be more careful next time, alright?" Ruchu asked
"Alright" Ash said, shaking his head around to dry his wet fur "At least we got a bunch of berries"
"Yeah, good work Ash" Ruchu said, ruffuling Ash's spiky fur
"Hehe, dad, I'm gonna go play with Watt, alright?" he asked Ruchu nodded, Ash took off to the entrace of the cave, where Watt, Mich and Isis were waiting
"Hey Ash" Watt said "You ready to play?"
"Ready as I'll ever be" he responded "I'll seek"
"Okay" his three friends said
"1...2...3...4...5" he started counting, Isis Mich and Watt ran to their hiding spots "8...9...10 Okay, I'm coming!" after looking around a while he saw a sliver of yellow on a bush "Gotcha!"
"Aw man" Watt said, coming out of the bush "I really need to learn to hide my tail better"
"Yeah you do" Ash laughed
"Shut up" Watt said, joking "Come on we have to find them." After searching for about 2 minutes they found the other two chus
"Wow, you're really good at this, Ash" Mich said
"Yeah, how you do it so fast?" Isis asked
"I really don't know" Ash said, shrugging "Practice, my guess" then all three of them heard a nearby bush rustle, and suddenly two pikachu and an eevee tumbeled out
"Ow" the eevee groaned "My head..."
"Huh?" one of the pikachu said, looking up, he broke into a huge grin "Ash, your okay!"
"Um, do I know you?" Ash asked
"Your kidding, right?" the pikachu said, his smile melting off
"No, I'm not. What's your name" Ash asked
"It's-" the pikachu was saying before Watt interrupted
"Bolt... Your back!" Watt exclaimed in joy
"Bolt, do you know him?" the hat wearing pikachu asked
"No, I don't think so..." Bolt said thinking
"Your okay... You got realsed, or did you escape?" Watt said exitedely, giving him a hug
"Let go of me!" Bolt yelled "I don't know who you are!"
"Watt, this is your brother?" Ash asked, Watt nodded
"Wait, did you say brother?" the eevee asked
"Yeah, he's my older brother!" Watt said, pointing at Bolt
"Wait, I'M your brother?!" Bolt asked, in shock, he was about to say something when he felt a strong pain in his head "AUGH!"
"Bolt!" both the pikachu and the eevee screamed, the eevee put his paw to his head "Oh man, he's got a fever." Bolt kept trying to say something, but each time he opened his mouth, his head hurt even more
"Come on dad, wait up!" he heard his voice say, suddenly he got a mental image of himself when he was younger chasing a pichu while an older pikachu watched over them, his father and little brother
"Let's get him inside!" he heard a voice say, who exactly he coulnd't tell, he saw more things coming in, the birth of his younger brothers, his mom, his friends, and his mother
"What..." was all he manged to say before he passed out cold
"Is going to be alright dad?" Watt asked
"Yes, he'll be fine..." Ruchu said, still shocked that his son was standing in front of him "Please leave me alone with our guests, alright?" Watt nodded and walked out of the room
"Where's Ash?" the pikachu asked
"First, I think we need introductions, I'm Ruchu"
"My name Ashchu" the pikachu said
"And I'm Gary" the eevee said "So, where's our friend?"
"You mean Ash?" Ruchu asked, Gary nodded
"He's more than just my friend, he's my older brother!" Ashchu said angrily
"Well, he can't remeber it, I'm afraid" Ruchu said
"What do you mean?!" Gary asked
"He was caught, wasn't he?" Ruchu asked, both pokemon nodded "Capture induces permanent amnesia"
"PERMANENT!?" Ashchu and Gary shouted
"Yes, he'll never remem-" Ruchu said
"I wouln't say that dad" Bolt said, waking up
"Bolt!" Ashchu and Gary said, glad their friend was still in one piece
"You... you remember me?" Ruchu said
"Well, before I passed out I remembered most things before I got caught, but somethings are still a little fuzzy" Bolt said "I think it was because I was around a lot of people from my past"
"Okay, but tell me, how did you meet Ash?" Ruchu asked
"It's a long story, but... Ash is a human" he said quickly
"What, he's human?" Ruchu asked in disbelief
"Yes he is" Gary said "He was his first pokemon"
"Um, Gary, weren't you human too?" Ashchu asked
"Um, I think so. It's kinda fuzzy..." Gary said, scratching the back of his head
"What happend?" Ruchu asked
"A group of people turned him and Gary into pokemon" Bolt said "And we have to-" Bolt was saying
"GET OVER HERE YOU LITTLE YELLOW RAT!" a voice screamed outside the cave
