A/N well, a new chapter for you all, and I know you will like the girl showing up in this chapter. It's about damn time that Ash had a fully-evolved Water-Type Starter. Especially with the new Ash-Greninja form that his Greninja takes as if it was a unique Mega Evolution that isn't in the games or the Adventures Manga.
Yes, I acknowledge that Serena's Fennekin is un-evolved in this story. Still, it was getting worked on before she became Braxien and before some of the Pokémon that Ash and co got in canon joined their respective trainers as well. Sorry about that.
Chapter 3 An old friend
It wasn't long before nighttime arrived, with many of the former town people were now all gone or at the very least still hiding from what was going on. Yet, it was still deadly outside as both males and females were still looking for ones they loved from when they were human and now wanted to be hybrids. And this was the case with one hybrid girl who had transformed; what made it worse was she was in heat, making her all the more deadly now she was a hybrid, and she would stop at nothing to get her mate.
The girl in question was none over than May, who had transformed into an Eevee Hybrid, and right now, she was using her new body to try a locate Ash so that she could mate with him, and she was not going to let anyone get in her way. "I'm going to find him, then he and I will be mates," May said with a low growl, and she sniffed the ground, trying to pick up on his sent as best as she could, but she also needed to keep a lookout for males that knew wanted her.
She sniffed around a bit and found something similar to his scent. She somehow remembered the scent of one individual she cared about, and now she was on the hunt.
Ash, Sherry, and Serena rested and made sure that they were all protected through the night. Most of the dangerous nocturnal hybrids would be out, and none of them were nocturnal. Plus, they didn't have a scope of what they could do as they sat trying to eat a survivalist meal.
"I hope our friends are alive," Serena said as she finished off the small meal, conserving food for months was going to go far.
Ash just looked over to Serena and nodded. He was still worried for Pikachu and his friends and what had happened to them. "Me too, Serena, but right now, we just need to have, well hope that they made it out," Ash said, looking at the girl with a smile as he wanted to comfort her.
Serena did her best to return it, but the honey blonde still couldn't help but worry as Serena wished she knew the cause of this virus and just how long she and Ash had before they went crazy like many others they had seen. "I just hope none of us become like the others," Serena said with a frown as she had a drink of water. "That's the last thing I want."
Sherry frowned at this, knowing that they were still not safe and had a feeling they were going to get hunted down. "We will rest for another ten minutes; it's best we don't stick around too much," she said as she gave a glance around and knew that for now, they were safe and could go to the safe house.
Both Ash and Serena nodded as they finished their meal and got what they had with them to head to the safe house they were staying, yet all three had no idea something or someone is tracking them.
They managed to make it back to the safe house with relatively few encounters. Either the other hybrids were taking the smart thing to avoid the nocturnal ones, especially the Dark types, or they just wanted some alone time to rest. Serena, Ash, and Sherry just wanted to figure out what to do next.
"I'm heading for the Pokémon Center. That's where Clemont and Bonnie are," Ash said, and Serena nodded, agreeing with him. "Well, I hope there are at least."
"I probably said it before, but it's a bad idea. Pokémon Center's and Hospitals are the first places that infected and wounded individuals are then taken to. They'd be overrun and infected or killed in a matter of minutes. And unlike zombies Ashg, the hybrids will take prisoners and stay around here as long as there's food and a place to stay." Sherry knew Ash was probably going to go forward with his plan to head to the Pokémon Center. It wasn't necessarily a bad plan. The virus simply shifted the ROE of the situation.
Both Ash and Serena looked down once Sherry had told them this; both knew she was right; they just wish that he didn't have to be like this. All they two could do was hope that their friends had at least gotten out and to a safe place. "Okay then, so Pokémon Center's and Hospitals are a no-go zone then," Serena said as she placed her furred hand on Ash's shoulder.
Sherry nodded as she looked out the window and soon looked over to her new friends. "For now, we need to rest." She said as Ash stood up, wanting to take the first watch.
"Okay, then I'll take the first watch. You two get some rest." Ash said as both girls nodded and went to sleep in their room while Ash gave a quick look around the house, making sure that nothing could get in and he had what he needed to keep both girls safe from the male hybrids.
Meanwhile, Brock, Clemont, and Bonnie were becoming worried, especially as they tried to contact Pallet Town in hopes that Professor Oak would have an idea of how to deal with this outbreak. "Professor Oak, Tracey can you hear me?" began Brock, being the one who knew how to make contact with Oak. "It's Brock!"
"Brock, is that you?" came Oak's voice as the professor's image appeared on screen, and he smiled at the moment he saw the former Pewter City Gym Leader managed to take the time to call him. "It's been a long time since we last interacted, hasn't it?"
"Yeah, it sure has," commented Brock; as much as he wanted to catch up with Oak, now wasn't the time for such since it was an emergency right now. "Unfortunately, we have a problem… There is this outbreak going on over here. And anyone that's sadly unfortunate to get infected by it is turned into a hybrid."
As expected, Professor Oak's expression darkened as he heard rumors of some kind of virus spreading throughout the Pokemon World and wondered if it was Team Rocket's doing. "Yeah, I heard about, and so has Tracy and Delia," he explained to Brock, though he had a feeling that Tracey will need to be extra careful when heading out on his own. "I told Tracey to be careful when he heads out to Cerulean City, but even he knew that Misty and her sisters would have to be aware of it before they get infected."
"Oh, speaking of Misty, how is she doing?" asked Brock, referring to the red-haired Tomboyish Mermaid that used to travel with him and Ash in Kanto and Johto before being made to run the Cerulean City Gym while her sisters travel around the world.
"Oh, she's fine… Still able to handle herself in running the Cerulean City Gym," answered Oak, though noticed that Ash wasn't present as usually the raven-haired young man is the one who calls him at times throughout his entire journey. "Where is Ash? Is he okay?"
Shaking his head, Brock frowned as he hadn't had the heart to tell Delia, so he figured telling Oak would be a better choice. "He has gone missing, and so has Serena.…" he said, hoping that there is a chance that he, Clemont, and Bonnie will be able to find the two, especially as Oak remembered Serena from when she was little and had attended Pokemon Summer Camp. "Clemont, Bonnie, and I are looking for him while also needing to be extra careful."
"I see… This is not a good sign at all," said Oak with a frown of his own, knowing it will hurt Delia and Grace a lot when they find out about their respective children being missing at a worse time such as this. "I will let Gary, Tracey, and Misty know of this… Perhaps they can help you in finding them."
"Okay, thanks to Professor," Brock was relieved that Gary, Tracey, and Misty will be assisting him, Clemont, and Bonnie with looking for their missing friends. Brock knew that because the virus is getting worse and worse, it will be a matter of time before it infects the entire planet. "We will need all the help we can get if we are going to find Ash and Serena."
Nodding his head, Oak couldn't help but agree with Brock on that notion. "I know, and I will do what I can to eventually create a cure, but it will take a long time before we make a successful one," he replied, knowing that they could work on a possible cure. "Fortunately, I have some assistance from Professor Ivy, Professor Elm, Professor Birch, Professor Rowan, Professor Juniper, Bill, Fennel, and Professor Sycamore since it is the entire world at risk."
Brock wasn't sure what to say. However, he responded with a nod of his own. Normally, Brock would go into a depressive state whenever someone mentioned Professor Ivy's name since the events at Hoenn onwards, specifically the events with Rayquaza and Deoxys, don't bother him anymore. "Very well, please do what you can," he replied, and Oak complied with the notion before the screen went black.
It wasn't long before the Pokémon Center doors opened, and entering was a trainer with a Pansage by his side. However, it didn't go unnoticed by Brock or his Croagunk as they turned to see the newcomers that arrived, which caused their expressions to change to surprise the moment they immediately recognized who they were. "Cilan?" he asked, identifying the trainer as none other than the Unova region's Pokémon Connoisseur and former Striaton Gym Leader Cilan.
Not too far away, May was getting closer to the individual she cared about; she gave a smile at this, knowing May was getting closer to her prey; she needed to do this just right. "Soon, we'll be together. Ash," She said as she sniffed the air once more, making sure that she was going the right way.
Unfortunately for this huntress in love, two individuals were coming up to her. "I have no time for this. I need to get to Ash; he is my mate after all." That was all May could think of as she looked at the two hybrids with a frown on her face, as she was sure she was not going to let the two stop her.
"Hello, good looking. Want to mate with me?" said a guy, which was then quickly revealed to be a Rattata hybrid, who was looking for some action. His friend was another Eevee hybrid like May, but he was a bit taller and more masculine-looking.
The Eevee Hybrid just looked to his friend and let out a laugh at what he had just said. "Get real, man, it's obvious that species trumps flirt." The second guy said, and she was upset. "So sexy, what do you say?"
"Neither. I'm already heading towards my mate. So back off or get ruff," She growled out the last part, ready to now literally tear into them.
"I don't smell the scent of a man on you. You're unclaimed, and that means you're free game." The Rattata hybrid said, and he was ready to fight. May was not in the mood for this. She wanted to get back to her mate, the strong mate that proved he was her equal, maybe even her better.
Soon the Rattata hybrid jumped at her with both claws and fangs now at the ready to show the girl he would be her mate. May, was growling in anger, sidestepped away from the Rattata hybrid. That didn't mean the male would stop as he tried once again to attack her.
May didn't like this; the last thing she wanted to do right now was waste her time fighting this weak Rattata hybrid. "Give it up; you're not the one that I want," May told him as she growled in anger, and she saw the Rattata hybrid attack her, which made May angry that her time was getting wasted like this. "Fine..." May said as she waited for the right moment to strike at the attacking foe.
As the Rattata hybrid got ready to attack again, May soon jumped and right on the Rattata hybrid back before opening her mouth and biting down on his neck. "Argh, let go bitch!" The male cried out in pain as he tried to get May off him but found she was not letting go as he felt her teeth dig deeper into his neck.
"Let me go!" he cried out in pain, trying to shake the Eevee hybrid off, more so as May's Pokémon instincts were starting to take over, and she wanted to defend herself from the opposing hybrid in any way possible.
May, however, didn't say a word as she held on tighter than she did before as she used her new claws to dig into the Rattata hybrid, which caused him to draw blood. As the male who May was fighting was doing all he could to get her off, May was not about to let this happen, not after bugging her the way he did.
The male Rattata hybrid looked over to his friend, who was shocked at what was going on as May soon drawn blood from his neck. "Arck, I can't..." he said as he was now choking on his blood, trying his best to stop it while looking at May, who had blood on her lips as she had an angry look on her face.
"I told you I had a mate," May said with a scowl on her face as the Rattata hybrid eyes went wide at this, failing down to his knees as he tried his best to speak right now. Still, all he could do was continue to chock on his blood as he looked over to his friend before falling to the ground dead and bleeding out on the ground.
"You want to try your luck?" She growled out as the Eevee hybrid decided to back away, not wanting to meet his end as his friend had. Once he was within a safe enough distance, she sniffed again. She wanted to reconfirm the direction of the scent but noticed something else. It was something that she didn't notice the first time around and gave a deep frown.
"Whose scents are those?" She first thought when she smelled the scent of two Hybrids, one a Pachirisu and the other a Fennekin, if she guessed correctly. They were unfamiliar, which got her angry, "Who are the hussies trying to get my mate!?"
With that thought now in her mind, she took off to confront the two females that seemed to be accompanying the man she wanted. May knew that she would deal with them and not let them take him away from her as she had no idea who either was; thus, May didn't trust them like the other girls she had known when she was human.
It didn't take May all that long before she reached the house that Ash was in, and she could smell the two females with her mate, which just caused her to growl in anger but could tell they were in another room from where her mate was and that caused her to smile. "Ash..." May said with a smile on her face as she looked at the house and gave a smile.
Yet she knew she needed to be safe; after all, she didn't want to wake up the other two females knowing they are sleeping since it would ruin her getting her mate. So with that in mind, May made her way to the house as she made sure that no other hybrids were coming after her. Or, at the very least, following her into the house.
Meanwhile, Ash was sitting in another bedroom as he wondered where they could go after all; this was not the best place to stick around as Sherry said the hybrids would come to this place sooner or later. "Well, tomorrow we need to move out. I'll just let Sherry and Serena sleep some more first," Ash said as he was getting tired as well but needed to watch out in case of danger.
Once May got to the house, she sniffed and smiled know Ash was inside. "He is here, my mate." She said as her body shivered with delight at what she knew was to come. "Hold on, my love. We shall soon become mates and become one." She said as she knew she needed to be silent.
Ash was starting to get nervous, but it wasn't the nervousness that had come from the horrors he saw earlier. It was from something he didn't know. A smell was permeating through the air, and it felt familiar. It was a good smell that reminded him of someone, but he looked to the window to ensure that the nocturnal ones were still avoiding the safe house. He never notices that someone was silently entering the room and getting closer to him, as he was too deep in thought and concern for his friends. May had snuck into the house, as quietly as possible, and made little noise to wake up the two females. She knew one was like her, a predator, and would be more of a challenge, but the other was a swift prey. A rodent that would run away or shock her in self-defense, but they could wait.
"Hello Ash, it's been a long time," She quietly called out, and he turned his head to notice her.
The moment Ash heard his name getting called out, he turned around and saw an Eevee girl was standing right in front of him and knew that this hybrid had gotten into the house. But what concerned him was how this Eevee hybrid knew his name but smelling her; he did feel like he knew her; Ash just wasn't sure how or where. "Who are you, and how do you know me?"
May, however, only looked at Ash as she smiled and moved closer to her soon-to-be made as she looked at what he had become and smiled to herself. 'Not bad I've got to say Ash looks so strong I know he will keep our young safe.' she thought as she moved to Ash while he backed away. "I'm hurt, Ash; we've known each other since you first started in Hoenn how you helped me become a strong trainer," May said as she gave a smile to Ash.
Ash, however, looked at May's face and her hair and knew that this was her. "May, oh no, are you alright?" he cried as he went over to her, concerned that she had got hurt or worse. After all, from what Serena had said to her. Ash knew that the male hybrids would have come after May and tried to mate with her, a thought that made Serena sick.
Yet when he got close, May grabbed hold of him and smiled at her mate-to-be. "Oh, I'm fine, Ash. I've never felt better in my whole life; honestly, I love it." She began as she looked at him and then looked at herself, all with a smile on her face. "I mean, look at me. I look so damn sexy, don't I, Ash?" She asked as she pressed her breast up on Ash's chest.
When May did this, Ash couldn't help but gulp a little, knowing that May was not thinking right but would still need to know what happened to her. "Yeah, but even so… I am worried about you, May," commented the former male human, showing his genuine concern over the brunette that he traveled within Hoenn and the Battle Frontier. However, while they did meet in Sinnoh, it was a temporary reunion since May was participating in the Wallace Cup at the time. "What about you're Pokémon? Are they with you? Especially Glaceon, what happened to her?"
Hearing this made May frown a bit like a tiny piece of her human mind came back, especially as Glaceon was with her when she ended up becoming infected and became worried as the female Ice-Type had gone missing. "I am not sure actually, one-minute Glaceon was with me, and then all a sudden, when I first woke up like this, she was missing!" she began with tears starting to form in her eyes at the thought of being reminded. "At least that's what I remember. I mean, it was all so crazy, Ash."
"I don't blame you. I am worried about Pikachu and the others," he replied, referring to Brock, Clemont, and Bonnie since May needed to get properly caught up on what transpired after she left the group following the Wallace Cup. "Listen, we need to talk…."
May looked at Ash as her instincts soon came back once more as she made her way closer to Ash, who saw the look in May's eyes and knew she was getting driven on her new instincts, which only caused Ash to be more concerned for her.
"May stop..." Ash said as she saw that something was wrong with her, but all May did was smile at Ash as she pushed him down onto the bed. "We can't do this," Ash said but was immediately cut off as she kissed Ash on the lips pushing her breasts on Ash's chest while Ash began to moan at the kiss he was getting from May.
May soon pulled away from the kiss as she looked down at Ash and gave a smile. "That was a good kiss Ash, but we will be doing a lot more than just kiss," May said as she gave a giggle making sure the other two females didn't get in her way.
Serena was starting to stir as Serena could feel something wasn't right. The honey blonde hybrid could smell something that made her wake up. She had a quick look around the room, hoping that they hadn't gotten found, but she saw that everything was silent and Sherry was sleeping right next to her nice and peacefully.
"What's that smell?" She mentally questioned herself, unknown what it was she was smelling. She had to find out and noticed that it was past the time for Ash to get one of them to stand guard for the night. She huffed and looked for the boy, and when she followed the scent. That's when she saw Ash and an Eevee girl making out, the girl straddling Ash.
"Oh no, Ash, don't worry, I'll help you!" Serena called out in concern, but that served to anger the Eevee girl, who looked back with anger over her face that she came in.
"You! Stay back!" May demanded and was ready to fight, with any moves she had and with her own body. She wasn't going to lose this no matter what, and this wasn't a potential sister-mate but an actual threat to her.
However, Ash saw this and knew he needed to stop this as he knew that May was not thinking right and needed to stop this. "Wait, May, don't attack her; she's a friend I knew when I was younger!" Ash said as May looked at Ash than the girl who had gotten in her way from mating with Ash.
"No!" May yelled as she looked at the Fennekin girl, who backed away in fear at the scream May gave towards her. "She wants to take you away from me, Ash. And will not let her do that you're my mate, Ash." May said as she looked at Ash with a smile on her face as; she didn't see that Sherry had woken up from what was going on and saw Ash was on the bed with the Eevee. "She's not even a potential sister-mate," May yelled with anger as she noticed that the Pachirisu girl was walking in.
"What's going on?" Sherry asked as she was concerned, as she soon noticed the hybrid Eevee girl in the room and was ready to help Ash out.
"Great two girls who want to take my mate from me!" May yelled as she was fully ready to kill them both to keep Ash safe from the unknown females.
Both Sherry and Serena knew that they might have to fight the girl, but it was what they would do to her once they had dealt with her. But Ash was nothing about to let them all fight each other as this would just put them all in danger; he quickly stepped in front of the three girls making sure they didn't attack each other as he looked at May and then over to Serena and Sherry. "Alright, we need to stop," Ash said, looking over at May, who is still looking at Ash as he looked who was tilting her head at him. "May please they are friends, okay they want to keep us safe," Ash said, placing his hands on her shoulders.
As she looked over at Ash, a soft smile May formed on her face since May did trust him, but she was still going to be careful with the two unknown females that she felt threatened by them.
"Okay…"
With that, Ash and May decided to find a place so the two of them can chat. Then, Ash turned his attention towards Sherry and Serena. "It shouldn't take too long, okay?" he informed the two females he came with, which made them both nod in understanding.
"Don't worry about it," responded Sherry, knowing that Ash and May will need to do a lot of catching up to get her up to date on everything that transpired up till now. "You two enjoy your chat."
Once they were gone, Serena looked over to Sherry as she was confused by what the Eevee girl Ash called May meant by sister-mates. She had a feeling that Sherry might know. "Sherry, what did she mean by sister-mates?"
Sherry, however, face went red or would have if not for the fur that covered her face. "Well, what she means, Serena, is that more girls that would be with Ash." She said as she knew this was going to shock Serena.
"What you mean..." Serena said as she stopped and saw that Sherry was not joking. "But that's..."
However, Sherry just stopped what she knew Serena was going to say. "That's the thing while as humans that would be wrong we are no longer human, are we." She said as Serena looked at her transformed body and nodded. "Now we are like this to May and others; they don't care."
"Whoa, whoa, wait a minute… Is this true?" asked Serena in even more shock than ever, especially as she blushed at the thought of being part of a harem with Ash and even taking an interest in the other girls that are part of it.
"Yeah, besides, he did mention at one point that May used to be his traveling companion throughout his journey in Hoenn. Also, the Battle Frontier, I think," answered Sherry with a nod, since at some point while alone, Ash had once told Sherry about how Serena was one of the traveling companions on his entire journey. He had girls travel with him before her too. "Then there is the Cerulean City Gym Leader Misty who used to travel with him in Kanto for the Indigo League, Johto, and the Orange Islands."
Serena remained completely silent as she never knew about the other girls who traveled with Ash before their reunion in Kalos, which made her a bit down. "All that time, he never told me about it…" she said after a few moments of silence. Then Sherry noticed this and gave a light smile on her face.
"He had a reason for that, maybe he didn't want to hurt your feelings or that of the other girls, especially Misty, May, and a girl he traveled within Sinnoh named Dawn," she replied to Serena, with a bright expression forming. However, it faded as she knew of one other girl Ash told her about from the Unova region. "Though he did say that one girl from Unova, a Dragon-Type trainer named Iris, was very annoying, especially when it came to constantly calling him a kid for even a small mistake during his travels in Unova and the Decolore Islands."
Serena was shocked by this as she looked over at Sherry with some fear. Serena wondered how the girl knew so much about what had happened. But she knew this was something that she would need to leave and ask about later and when the time was right.
In the other room, Ash was sitting down with May, knowing she was, well he knew she was not thinking right, and he knew that maybe talking to her would help. "May how did you become like this?" he asked with concern in his voice.
May tilted her head at this, and she knew what he was talking about as she gave another smile at him and giggled a little, and she got on her hands and knees and moved closer to him. "Oh, you mean how I got this oh so sexy body that I have now?" She asked with a grin as she saw Ash nodded his head.
Flashback
May was in a panic; she came here to have a good time hearing that it would be good to relax a little, but things quickly went to hell when she saw wild Pokémon attacking people; some the brunette had seen were killed. "Oh god, what's going on?!" May cried as all she could do was for right now run from what she was seeing; all the brunette knew was that she needed to run.
That was until she ran into an Eevee who, to May at least, didn't look well as its eyes turned to her and the little Pokémon growled. "Hey, it's alright. I'm not going to..." but she was unable to finish, as the Eevee soon jumped towards her before biting May on her right arm.
Watching this caused May to soon cry out in pain as she felt the teeth dig deep into her skin and saw blood was getting drawn as well. "Let go!" she yelled as she tried to shake the crazed Eevee off her.
Once May got the Eevee off her, all May could do was hold her arm, trying to stop the bleeding as best as she could, but she had no clue as to what was to come next. "I don't feel so good," she said, rubbing her forehead.
May soon fell to her knees as she felt hotter and hotter and soon looked at her hands and was taken aback by what she was seeing. Her hands were brown fur growing all over, and it was spreading upwards, but she saw the brown fur was also growing on her, and all May could do was cry out in pain.
"Please make it stop!" May cried out as she saw long whitish hairs growing on her chest, it now getting thicker and thicker before her like grass growing super fast.
The brown hair covering her arms already grew thicker, coating them from her knuckles to her underarms. Soon the hair on her legs was continuing to spread up her thighs in an odd sensation as May kept staring nervously at her newfound hairiness on her legs. The brunette wondered what's going on and why this was happening to her. She also wondered if this change was also happening to other people.
May soon blinked when she noticed a small black spec on her nose. Inquisitively, she rubbed at it, hoping to get that weird smudge off, but once she brought her hand away from her nose, the smudge just seemed to increase! Mary wasn't sure what action she should take, but the blackness on her nose had a mind of its own; it seemed and continued to spread out unimpeded. It brought a cold sensation that almost made her shiver, and with one touch with her finger, May felt how wet and soggy it became. Soon enough, her entire nose looked thoroughly black, its shape starting to look less human. "What's going on?"
The question in the brunette's mind lingered for a moment, but an itch in May's ears pulled her away from the situation concerning her transformation. Getting a mirror, she watched with a mixture of awe and dismay as they appeared to grow pointed, making it seem like she had a pair of elf ears. The appearance didn't last long as they began to enlarge a great deal, bigger and bigger as they moved from their original position and higher on her head. As their shape altered, the same brown hair coated them in a slow, itchy wave, and before she knew it, May now had a pair of large, furry ears.
She yelled once more. "T-this can't be!" She watched as they occasionally twitched, a scene that appeared equally unbelievable as the sensation she felt from it. She observed how much she resembled an Eevee. "No way, this can't be true!" She cried aloud at the realization. "That's impossible!"
Almost as if to disprove her, a sensation in her spine caused May to gasp. A great pressure began to build above her bottom, growing much greater and greater as the poor girl's eye clenched shut. She hunched over, trying to find a way to relieve the pain as something intrusive slowly pushed its way out, gaining length and mass. Just when she couldn't take it anymore, the pain went away as fast as it came, and May panted in relief. However, her bottom still tingled, and May felt an airy sensation under her shorts. She whirled her head around, and her eyes grew wide when she discovered a huge bushy tail emerging from her rear.
A deep blush colored on May's face seeing the large furry object wave around without a care in the world, unabashedly looking back to see what she knew had happened. It's the same brown as the rest of her fur, but the tip dipped in the same white as the brunette's chest.
"N-no, please!" She protested as her tail continued wagging. "I don't want to have a tail! Or these ears and fur! I don't want to be!" Yet she could not finish as fur began spreading its way over her face from multiple fronts, first spreading down her forehead and the bridge of her wet nose, which would meet up with her bushy brows and the fur swarming up her neck to cover her completely.
All May could do was let out a scream as soon her transformation ended, and May was not panting from the heat that her clothes brought onto her. "Clothes too hot need to remove..." May said, smiling as she tore her clothes apart until she was naked, but thanks to her fur, she was covered.
Once her clothes were off, she stood up and looked over to a window and saw her full-on body and how she had turned out; seeing herself caused May to smile and even giggle as well. "Oh, I don't look too bad," said May with a smile as all-new thoughts came to her head, thanks to her transformation as her instincts began to take over May's mind.
And with them and her new mind, she had one goal in mind, and that was to find Ash so that they could be mates, and she would kill anyone that would stand in her way.
End of Flashback
"Wait, that was how it happened?" asked Ash in complete shock that May became a victim of the transformation much like he, Sherry, and Serena were, which made him even more concerned than ever for her well-being. "I can only hope that Brock, Clemont, and Bonnie will find us soon."
It was then that her eyes widened in shock at that very moment Ash mentioned Brock's name. "Wait, you mean Brock is still with you?" she asked him, wondering if what she was hearing from the young man was indeed true, with Ash nodding his head to confirm. "What about Dawn and Pikachu?"
"Dawn left after my journey in Sinnoh concluded even though I lost the Sinnoh League and she lost the Sinnoh Grand Festival. She did make a temporary return during my travels in Unova. We participated in the Pokémon World Tournament Junior Cup even though she lost to Iris. Then I lost to Trip in the final round," he explained, revealing that Dawn left the group following the end of the Sinnoh travels and how he had a brief reunion with her during Unova even if it was to participate in the Pokémon World Tournament Junior Cup. "I just hope she doesn't become a victim of that damned virus as we did…."
"I am sure she will be fine, though I have to wonder who exactly is Clemont and Bonnie?" she decided to question him as they were people who she never heard of but then again. Serena and Sherry were also people she never met, even despite the fact they were hybrids now. "What about the two girls that are with you just now?"
"Well, it is a long story, but…." Ash began, starting with when he met Clemont and Bonnie. The first time Ash came to the Kalos region when he had first met Serena during their childhood days at Professor Oak's Pokémon Summer Camp before becoming a trainer. Ash told May all that she had missed since he last saw her. "That's about it…."
"Wow, sounds like a lot I missed out on," she commented, especially when it came to Iris and Cilan being Ash's traveling companions in Unova and the Decolore Islands, how Paul was his rival during Sinnoh, how Zoey was Dawn's main rival, how Ash lost against Tobias at the Semi-Finals of the Sinnoh League, Team Galactic being a threat in Sinnoh, how Team Plasma became a threat to Unova after the Unova League, the events with Darkrai, the events with Giratina, the events with Arceus, the events with Zorroak in Sinnoh, the events with Victini, the events with the Swords of Justice and Kyurem, the events with the Genesect Army and the Mewtwo capable of changing forms at the Decolore Island, the events with Team Rocket, Giovanni, the Forces of Nature and Meloetta, the encounters with Jessie, James and Meowth throughout the Sinnoh, Unova, the Decolore Islands and Kalos and how he gained rivals in the form of Trip, Cameron, Bianca, Virigl and Stephen at Unova but he never got to face Virgil at all due to having lost to Cameron at the Quarter-Finals of the Unova League and Virgil wining the Tournament. "Well, hopefully, when we see Brock, he might fill us in on the details on his travels as for those three from Team Rocket, some things never change."
"Yeah, then again, it makes me think about our other friends, and I'm also worried about you as well, May, I mean..." he didn't finish what he was going to say as May was now hugging him once more and had a smile on her face.
"Well, now you know I'm okay, and you've told me what you've done since we last saw each other, we should go looking for Misty, I mean, she will still be at the gym, right," said May with a purr in her voice. "And after that, we should find Dawn," May added, and Ash knew what May meant by this.
"But we can't, May, Ash said, knowing the last thing he wanted was for the two to become like him and May.
May tilted her head as she looked at Ash, wondering if he was okay, but knew he needed to keep an eye on her from attacking Sherry and Serena. "May look, please promise me you won't attack the two with us?" He asked, holding onto her.
Looking at Ash and seeing the growing fear on Ash's May just gave a simple nod. "Okay, I won't attack them, Ash, but are they sister-mates as well?" she asked as she looked to Ash.
Ash was unsure how he would answer this to May and knew he needed to be careful about what to say to her as May was not thinking in the right mindset. "That doesn't matter right now, May. All we need to do is make sure that you're safe."
Ash just continued to look at May as he pulled the girl he knew into a hug, something that May didn't mind at all as the Eevee stared at her mate. "I've missed you so much, Ash," she said, feeling tears in her eyes, especially as it has been a long time since they last were together.
"Yeah, I know I missed you too, May," commented Ash, having missed the brunette. Ash stared at May as something fell that had gotten her attention: it's half of the medal that Ash kept with him at the end of their travels together at the Battle Frontier and when they had reunited at Sinnoh before the Wallace Cup. "Huh?"
"Is that what I think it is?"
He silently nodded his head to confirm it was as he still had it even after the two went their separate ways in Sinnoh, following Dawn and Piplup winning the Wallace Cup. "Yeah, I kept it with me this entire time, and I thought it would bring good luck but so far, it hasn't done so… No offense," he replied with a small frown, though May smiled as she still had the other half with her. "May?"
"I still have the half I have, and you know, it doesn't look the same unless it was whole," May responded with a sad smile before placing her half next to Ash's, and both remembered when Ash's Sceptile and May's Blaziken faced each other in the contest to conclude their travels at the Battle Frontier. "Guess it truly does bring back memories."
"Tell me about it, if you were with me, then maybe my travels in Unova would have been a lot better than it did," added Ash, referring to Zekrom temporarily taking away Pikachu's electricity.
Ash still remembers the start of their journey in Unova, which led to Pikachu losing to Trip's Snivy in the first battle Ash had against him despite the two from Unova beginning their journey. "Just don't tell Misty about that, okay? I doubt she would take it well."
"Okay." said the female hybrid with a nod, especially as if she was right, then Glaceon would use her nose. Which has a very keen sense of smell to see if she can find Pikachu and Brock if she is unable to find Ash and May on her own, knowing that the two, along with Clemont and Bonnie, will aid in finding them as well as these other two with them. "Hope Glaceon will be fine on her own…" She added with a frown on her face and smiled as she soon remembered something Dawn told her.
"That reminds me, Ash speaking of Misty." May began to herself, knowing that she wanted to have some fun. "I know of the lure that you have of her," she added with a grin as she looked over to the now very shocked Ash. "Or at the very least, how you keep it with you."
Ash, however, knew what she meant and acted like he didn't know what May was talking about as he looked at her. "I don't know what you're talking about, May,"
Hearing this from Ash only caused May to giggle as the brunette wasn't fooled by what Ash was telling her. Now glancing over at Ash as the brunette smiled at Ash, and the Eevee girl was going to get the truth out of her mate-to-be, then she will have fun with Ash. "Oh, so what is she to you then, Ash?" she asked as she giggled a little more.
Ash, however, looked away, not genuinely wanting to answer the question that May gave him, while all May could do was smile at this. After all, she wanted this to be fun. "May, come on, do we have to talk about it?" he asked as he wondered just what else Dawn had said.
"Oh, we will talk about it Ash, you need to stop lying about your emotions after all," said May as she was now sitting on Ash's lap, as she soon pushed her body closer to his and whispered in his ear, all with a smile on her face. "You'll feel much better once you do; I know that I did."
Ash gave a deep gulp as he felt May's chest pushing into his and knew she was trying to get any information from Ash. "But Misty and I are just friends, May, that's all," Ash said as May only pulled away as she looked into his brown eyes while Ash looked into her blue eyes.
"Well, you see, the thing is, I know that you're not telling the truth, Ash," May answered with a grin on her face, already loving the look that she was now seeing on Ash's face. "I know that you deeply care about her, and I don't mind if you love her," she said with a grin as she knew she was getting somewhere with him.
Ash, however, knew that May, while she was alright around him, was still infected with what had changed her and then remembered what Sherry had said to him.
"Remember Ash, even if we find any of your friends, they are most likely hybrids, and if they are female, they will want to mate with you," Sherry said as she looked over to Ash while Serena was sleeping. "More so if they are in heat, so Ash, you need to be careful."
"Will they try to hurt me?" Ash asked, worried that if any of his other friends got infected, he wondered what he should do.
Sherry shook her head at this as she took some water. "No, at least I don't think that they will Ash, it's hard to tell how some of the females will act, and I know they will reveal how they felt for someone when they were human."
Ash's eyes shot open as he looked at May and knew he needed to ask this. "May can I ask you something?"
May looked at Ash with a smile and nodded. "But I will answer if you answer something for me, Ash; it's only fair after all."
Back at the Pokémon Center, Cilan and Brock were having some catching up to do while the green-haired Connoisseur and Pansage were completely shocked at the fact that Ash had gone missing because of the virus spreading throughout the world. "What do you mean Ash went missing?" he asked, hoping that it wasn't true though Brock silently nodded his head to confirm.
"I wish that it wasn't true, but unfortunately it is," he explained to Cilan; ever since Ash and Serena had gone missing, there is a possibility that the virus may have infected them, and if it did, then they all need to be careful. "Clemont, Bonnie, Pikachu, and Dedenne are worried about him as well as Serena."
Hearing this made Cilan remain silent as Brock and Pikachu had managed to brief him and Pansage on the events that transpired following Ash and Alexa when they returned to Pallet Town to his travels with Clemont, his sister Bonnie, and Serena throughout his journey in Kalos. "I see… Plus, I also never would have guessed those three members of Team Rocket would still follow Ash and Pikachu even to the Kalos region," he remarked while Pansage mentally cursed at the fact that Jessie, James, and Meowth will not give up. At the same time hope to help with finding the two missing trainers.
"Tell me about it. Let's hope we don't run into any of the hybrids while looking for Ash and Serena," added Brock since, aside from Ash, Brock had encountered the trio countless times throughout many regions. Brock is certain that they might end up dealing with them again. "However, they aren't the only members of Team Rocket, unfortunately."
"Trust me, I know as Ash, Iris, and I encountered other members in Unova, especially their leader Giovanni," commented Cilan making him frown at that event. Hearing this caused Brock's expression to change to surprise as he never thought that Ash, Cilan, or this Iris would ever deal with other Team Rocket members, let alone Giovanni himself. "They were trying to get their hands in the Forces of Nature, including attempting to use Meloetta's power to control them."
"Great…" muttered Brock, mentally cursing this, especially as he had learned about Team Plasma from Cilan and how he, Ash, and Iris had to deal with them to stop them from controlling Pokemon via a machine developed by Colress. Unfortunately, Ghetsis also wanted Reshiram and nearly succeeded in his conquest, only to be thwarted and then arrested along with Colress and the other Team Plasma members in the end. "As if Ash, Misty, and I having to face Giovanni and Team Rocket at Johto wasn't enough..."
"Huh?"
Brock shook his head, especially because some things are still better left unsaid when Giovanni wanted to get his hands on Mewtwo at Johto. "Well, all I can say, Cilan, is that we fought Team Rocket when they tried to capture Lugia and its child at the Whirl Islands, and so many more times."
"You're kidding!" began Cilan in complete disbelief and more so as he and Pansage thought Unova had it bad with Team Rocket and Team Plasma. Still, Kanto and Johto having it tough with the former at this point too made him rather concerned, even more so than ever before. "Well, it looks like we have a lot more on our hands than we originally thought."
"Yeah, and let's focus on one thing at a time, okay?" suggested Brock, referring to looking for their friends and finding a means to cure everyone who was infected by the virus before it could become worse or even Irreversible. "For now, our primary concern is finding our missing friends, and we will deal with Team Rocket later."
Just then, the others saw that; Nurse Joy came into the room and looked over to Brock, and walked over to him. "Brock, you've got a phone call."
Brock nodded as he hoped that it was some good news at least and walked into the next room and sat down, and turned to the screen to see a worried-looking Misty. "Brock, is it true what I've been hearing?" Misty asked with deep concern in her voice.
"Yeah, it's true whole Misty, the whole town is also getting cut off right now; none of us can get in or out," Brock said as he was happy that Misty was not here right now. "As for Ash, we still haven't been able to find him," Brock said, not wanting to think about what could have happened to his friend.
"Ash..." Misty said with a whisper as she was worried for him, but that was not all. "Brock, you need to know something. May and Dawn went to that town as well, they wanted me to come as well, but sadly I had my Gym leader duties to do."
Brock was now even more worried than he was before, not knowing that both May and Dawn were in here as well and knew that they needed to find their friends before it was too late. "Misty, look, you need to stay there; this infection or Virus is bad." Brock began to tell her just what he knew what's going on and that Misty needed to stay where she was.
"Brock, look, I can't just sit around and not do anything your all my friends," Misty said with a frown on her face knowing that her friends were in danger or even missing, and she was stuck at the Gym, not able to go and even help them.
Brock only nodded, feeling how powerless Misty must have felt right now, but was still happy she was at least safe back in Cerulean City. "Look for your own safety Misty; you need to stay in Cerulean until this is over."
Misty nodded, even if she hated the idea, and just gave a smile to Brock. "I will just you and the other be safe, Brock; who knows what is going to happen or if it starts to spread, just please stay safe and find the others," Misty said before saying goodbye and hanging up the phone.
Once Misty had finished her talk with Brock, Misty couldn't help but give a deep sigh at this situation. "Ash, please, wherever you are, I hope that your safe, you too, May, Dawn. I just wish I had gone and helped keep you safe."
Right now, all Misty could do was make sure that her hometown was kept safe from this virus that Brock had told her about, yet she also knew she was going to have to tell her sisters to make sure they didn't go on one of their trips they loved going on.
May waited for Ash to answer her as he slowly nodded his head at her knowing that it was far after all. "Alright then, May," Ash began as he looked at her. "I'll tell you, but I do want you to tell me first, alright? After all, you said it was far."
May only continued to smile at Ash; she knew what he was going to ask her, and she thought it to be a little funny and even ironic that when she was human, she wouldn't even tell Ash her feelings in fear of what he would say to her.
Yet, she also knew that she was not going to let that hold her back anymore. "Oh, I think I know what it is you want to know Ash, and I'll tell you," said May with a large grin and moved closer to Ash. "Okay, then I will tell you, Ash," said May as she looked right into his eyes while Ash just looked at her.
"May..." he said before the girl in question placed her finger on his lips, stopping him from talking.
"Ash, I wanted to tell you this for a while, but I could never do it when I was human, but now I'm like this I know I can tell you how I feel about you, Ash," May said as she couldn't help but continue to look at Ash with a smile.
May was silent as she wanted to make sure Ash was paying full attention to what she would say. "You see Ash, the thing is I love you, I've loved you for a long time now since midway in our journey through Hoenn," May told Ash with a smile on her face as she knew it felt good telling him at long last how she felt.
A/N well, so ends another chapter, I know a cliffhanger as I know you all want to know what Ash will say, but I thought I would leave you all hooked and waiting to see what Ash will say. Or, at the very least, how to deal with this. After all, while May is telling the truth, May's not well in her right mind; this is all thanks to her instincts that she has.
So they will make her aggressive to any unknown females. The same will happen to Serena much later on when she gets closer to Ash, at least once she does get close to him. Oh, and I will say to all who asked if Sherry will be with Ash, so no worries, my dear readers.
Anyway, sorry if this took so long, everyone. I've not been all that good, and I've been under a lot of stress too, which has not helped me. Anyway, leave a review, and I hope you like May's hybrid form as well, so sorry if it's not a hybrid form that you wanted for her to be something different.
I fully fixed this chapter on 6/05/2021
