12. Chapter 12 Giving in to desires

Disclaimer: I don't own anything from the Pokémon franchise, whether it is the games or the anime or even the Manga adaptations. Still, if I did, then Misty wouldn't have left Ash's side, and Ash would've learned Aura instead of being made into a dumbass in the Sun and Moon anime series. Yes, I am made aware that not only does Ash have a Dragonite now but also a Gengar as of the current episode of Sword and Shield plus the second and third episodes of the Twilight Wings miniseries is out too as it seems.

I will also like to add I won't be adding characters from the new anime, as that is still new and ongoing right now, same with hybrids as well, sorry, but it has only just come out.

Chapter 12: Giving in to desires

Brock looked down at Misty's hair-band and was now more worried than ever for his old friend. "Brock, what's the matter?" Clemont asked, seeing something was wrong.

However, Brock said nothing now looking around for any sign of Misty, was she hurt, did she get away from the hybrids. Or worse did misty become a hybrid and is looking for Ash, he hoped it was one of them as a few others. "I can't think of them," Brock thought, but they still came to him as he saw Misty as a hybrid with someone else.

"Brock, please, you need to speak to us!" Clemont said louder than before catching the older teen's attention, as Brock looked back to Clemont. "What's the matter?"

Brock was still pretty much shaken from what he found as he took a deep breath. "This belongs to my friend Misty. I mean, I know she came here to find Ash and the others. However, I'm worried she might have changed into a hybrid."

Clemont, Bonnie, and Lillie didn't like the sound of this as the three looked to each other. "Maybe she got away," Lillie added with hope even if she has never met this Misty as the others looked at Lillie.

"There are a lot of traps here," Clemont said to himself, looking at what Misty had made, but from the looks of it, she didn't do this alone. "But who helped her?"

Brock said nothing hearing this from the Alola girl, and he knew that he had to trust Misty, but this virus was something else. "I hope so, but we're not safe unless we can get out of Kalos," Brock told them.

Clemont nodded agreeing with Brock the most right now, as he looked down to Bonnie. "Yeah, I need to get my sister out of here since," Clemont said, knowing that their home city had fallen.

"And we will," Brock began and wanted to say more when he heard something close to them, as they were already to deal with any hybrids.

Out of the trees came three soldiers and Lance, which shocked Brock and even Lance. "Brock, I need to ask you something?" Lance began, shocked seeing Brock here but had a feeling that Ash was here too. "Where's Ash?"

Brock said nothing looking down, and Lance didn't like it at all. "I have no idea, but it's not just Ash. Some of our other friends are missing too, May, Dawn, and now Misty."

Lance sighed at this looking towards the few men that are still alive and then back to Brock and the others. "Look, Brock, Kalos's lost, there's a helicopter to take anyone left out of the region until they find a cure."

Clemont and Bonnie looked to Lance as he hoped this was his chance to save his sister. "Can we come? I mean, you can see we're not infected," He said with hope that he would leave and save Bonnie.

"Please," Bonnie said, still frightened with what happened, as she looked to her brother she didn't want to lose him to this virus.

"Yes, but we need to hurry. The helicopter leaves tomorrow a sunset, and if we don't arrive on time, it leaves without us," Lance told the four as he looked to Brock, knowing what he was thinking. "Brock, I'm sorry, but I fear there's nothing more you can do."

Hearing this from Lance, Brock said nothing, while he hated to leave his friends here. Brock knew Lance was right since them staying here wouldn't be the best idea and would do his friend no good at all. "You're right, Lance," Brock began looking to Lance and the others. "Okay, Lance, let's go."

With that said, the group left the area as Brock took one last look around. "I'm sorry Misty, I just hope you got away," He said before following Lance and the others hopefully to safety.

"I see, so the virus is evolving as we speak."

Oak frowned as he was speaking with his friend Spencer Hale, who was doing all he can to assist in creating an effective cure faster. Much like Professor Elm, Professor Ivy, Professor Birch, Professor Rowan, Professor Juniper, Professor Carolina, and even Professor Kuikui and Samson Oak, both from the Alola region. Still, it seems that even with the added assistance, things weren't going to be so easy. "Yes, plus from what I heard, the longer one is infected… the quicker they lose their minds," he explained with a frown, knowing that with all of Lumiose City infected, they've lost one of the professors who are also assisting them with the creation of the cure. "And it gets worse too. There presumably more than one way that a human can be infected as well."

That made the grandfather of Gary even more worried than ever; it was one thing for the virus to be spreading faster, but this revelation was another concern that they couldn't overlook anymore. "Not only that, but there's no word from Misty ever since her sisters told Tracey and me about her having left to the Kalos region," he informed the other Professors from all over the Pokémon World.

The other regional professors frowned since it is unknown what has happened to Ash and his friends because even they weren't safe from the virus and could imagine how Clemont and Bonnie were feeling from the fate of their hometown. "What about your grandson?" Professor Ivy was the next to speak, being made aware that Oak had other family members besides his cousin Samson Oak.

"He's okay, at least for now," he informed the purple-haired woman, although he wasn't too thrilled with the idea of him wanting to help find Ash as well given how they hadn't seen one another since Ash's journey through Sinnoh with Brock and Dawn. "From what he told me, he was going to do all he can to help Ash and the others… odds are we don't know if it'll be enough now. I mean, it's not like when Ash saved the world during his journey in the Orange Islands."

Ivy wasn't sure on what to say, as she didn't need to remember the incident caused by Lawrence III and his desire to capture the Legendary Birds residing at the Orange Islands all to get his hands on Lugia his actual target. "How can I forget?" Ivy said as it was kind of funny how she previously called about the matter during that time, it was happening all those years ago. Back when Brock initially decided to stay on Valencia Islands following Ash getting the GS Ball to deliver to Oak.

"Speaking of which," began Professor Elm, deciding to change the topic regarding their respective family members and turned towards Spencer. "So, how are your wife and daughter doing so far, Professor Hale?"

"They're good, luckily my wife and Molly know not to go outside at this time," he assured Elm, having a feeling that Delia was doing the same but could sympathize with how she must be feeling regarding Ash's well being. Unfortunately, there's nothing they could do unless they've managed to perfect the cure before the virus could evolve even further than it already has. "The problem is that we don't know how long we will last even if we succeed in our mission."

"That's why we're doing all we can, not just working on the cure but also getting any assistance from anyone fortunate enough not to be infected," came Cedric Juniper's voice as he stood next to his daughter Professor Juniper. "Unfortunately, there's another matter that needs addressing."

"Huh?" wondered Oak with concern in his voice, having a bad feeling that the news Cedric Juniper and his daughter had to share would be even worse than what they knew already. "What do you mean?"

The two sighed as they looked at each other. "It seems that not everyone can get a cure after a while."

The news was like a bombshell to Oak and the other professors he was interacting with, especially Dr. Fennel herself. "Oh my god…" she muttered, absolutely shocked at the revelation that the transformation caused by the virus would become permanent if they couldn't find a cure soon.

"Yeah, as if we didn't have enough on our mind to worry about already," commented Cedric Juniper with a frown on his face, more reason to complete the cure before it's too late for everyone who had become infected. "Do the Maples know to stay inside, Professor Birch?"

All Birch did was nod his head slowly. "Yes, however, Norman and Caroline mentioned that they hadn't heard anything from their daughter May. I mean, even Sawyer hasn't contacted me lately," he explained to the others as it's been a long time since the new trainer known as Sawyer started his journey with Treecko and left for the Kalos region. In contrast, May was continuing with her dream of becoming a great Pokémon Coordinator. "Even Max is starting to get worried about his older sister."

Every one of the professors from the various regions started frowning, and they knew that things were starting to get worse due to the revelation. However, the fact Ash's former companions and even current ones would become victims themselves might hinder their chances of saving everyone. "Another thing we have to worry about," Oak said to himself, knowing that Ash and his friends wouldn't stand a chance against the infection even though they've gone through similar situations.

"Professor Oak?"

"Oh?" he asked the moment he heard Professor Elm saying his name, causing the older Professor to snap back into reality almost right away and turned towards his student from New Bark Town. "Sorry, I was thinking about what Professor Birch said earlier. I mean Misty's sister and Cilan's brothers are just as concerned for Misty and Cilan's well being from what I remember, plus there's Ash's mother Delia to take into consideration as well."

"I know that feeling as well, since Jimmy, Marina, Jackson, Khoury, Lyra, and even Casey have yet to contact me ever since the virus started spreading throughout the world," explained Elm, thinking back to the trainers who started from New Bark Town. "This makes me fear that something bad had happened to them by this point."

Hearing this made the others worried, knowing it was only a matter of time. "This is getting worse with each passing day."

"Indeed…" commented Samson Oak, understanding how his cousin and everyone else felt right now worried what will happen. Not to mention that Professor Kuikui knew the Pokémon School had to be closed because of the spreading infection, all while the students were doing all they can to remain safe. "Ever since hearing that, my grandnephew decided to investigate where the infection was coming from Samuel. I had to make contact with my cousin as soon as possible to learn more about the details."

"Not to mention he was made aware of Ash having gone missing and about how Misty left the Cerulean City Gym to go find him," added Samuel Oak, still frowning as he looked out the window as dark clouds were forming within the sky… a bad omen in on itself. "I just really hope he'll be able to stay safe; I don't want to know how Delia is feeling right now."

Gary Oak, Ash's former rival and currently studying to become a Pokémon Researcher like his grandfather, frowned as he was becoming worried for the raven-haired young man from their home region. "Ash, I never expected anything like this to happen…" he said to himself with a hint of concern since he hoped nothing terrible happened to his friend. Much like Misty, Gary was sure to bring his best Pokémon with him before starting his search for the raven-haired trainer.

Coming out of his Pokéball, Umbreon kept guard in case any hybrids suddenly attacked them as it made Gary even more worried, knowing his former cheer squad most likely ended up being victims themselves.

As if now fearing for Ash's well being was already bad enough for him to think about right now, and he thought back to when the raven-haired trainer gave him back the half of the rusted Pokéball following the Johto League Silver Conference. Where Ash made it to the Top 8, which is somewhat ironic given how once again, Ash managed to achieve a higher rank than him, much like how Ash managed to handle himself against Jessie, James, and Meowth at the Viridian City Gym. 'Be careful, Gary…' he said to his human with concern. 'I have a feeling that whoever we encounter, most likely won't be friendly.'

"Yeah, I know…"

As Gary made his way towards where he heard Brock, Clemont, Bonnie, and Lillie were last located, he had Umbreon staying close by in case plus, he had Blastoise and Electivire with him for the worst-case scenario.

"You know, I can understand if Ash was in trouble with Team Rocket, but this…" Gary said to the Dark-type Eeveelution with a frown, knowing how reckless Ash could be at times. "However, this has to be a situation where he should've at least used his head… I mean, he was the one who originally came to grandpa's lab in his pajamas and is dumb enough to use an Electric-type against a Rock-type. Well, I should say a Rock/Ground-type since Ground-type Pokémon if I remember should be immune to electricity."

Umbreon didn't say a word, he just sniffed around to get a scent of Ash or any of the other trainers he's with, and so far, he wasn't having much luck. "Find anything, Umbreon?" he asked his Dark-Type, hoping that there was a chance of finding anyone from Ash's group who managed to avoid becoming infected.

'It seems there were many people here not too long ago,' explained Umbreon, having a feeling that they couldn't have gone too far from where they were currently. 'Something must've happened before we arrived, and I'm not sure what, but it probably wasn't anything good.'

Remaining silent, Gary looked at Umbreon before the Dark-type spoke again. 'It's clear that this isn't Team Rocket's doing since there were multiple scents here and none of them match the three at all' he stated as it was clear that he would've been able to identify Jessie, James, and Meowth if they were present, but they weren't.

The brown-haired Pokémon Researcher frowned, while Umbreon wasn't having much luck in finding the exact location of where Ash and his friends were at the very least. It also confirmed his thoughts before about how Jessie, James, and Meowth weren't the ones responsible for Ash's sudden disappearance within the Kalos region itself. "Well, what matters is that we keep searching," he told the Dark-type Eeveelution with a look of determination on his face, seems it was something from Ash that started rubbing off on him.

'Okay…'

As the two were about to continue their search, Gary decided to let his Arcanine out to make things a little bit easier. "Alright, you know what to do, Arcanine," he told the Fire-Type, who silently nodded his head before assisting Umbreon in sniffing around for clues about Ash's location or even any of the others from his group. It couldn't hurt to have another one of his Pokémon out to increase the protection he has to be on the safe side.

"I can only hope my grandfather and the others are working on the cure," Gary thought, but he also needed to be ready. "After all, Ash might have become infected."

---

Meanwhile, Ash was keeping an eye on both May and Serena. He still hated what happened to them and so many others. "Not that it matters sooner or later I'm going to join them," Ash thought, but that didn't mean he wouldn't fight to keep his mind.

May looked over to Ash and smiled at her mate/lover. "Ash, please come sit with me please," May said in a sweet voice wanting Ash to sit with her.

Hearing May, Ash looked over to her, noticing Serena was sleeping her head on May's lap. It was still an odd sight in seeing this, but as Sherry said, their minds didn't care, and they saw each other as sister-mates. "Not to mention May wants Misty to join."Ash thought now worried about what might happen to her.

May smirked as she could then see the look Ash had on his face and smiled, licking his cheek and giggled playfully. "I know you're worried about Misty, but I know we'll find her Ash," May said with glee in her voice.

"Yeah, but May she is out there," Ash said, knowing full well what could happen to Misty, and he didn't want that to happen to her.

May only smiled as she moved Serena so as not to wake her up before sitting on Ash's lap and smiling at him. "And why would that be a bad thing, she would love becoming a hybrid. I know I did, Ash."

Ash could only look into May's blue eyes, seeing very little of the May that he knew, and Ash wondered how far had May's mind fallen. "But, May..." Ash began as May stopped Ash from talking as she kissed her lover.

"Come on, think of how sexy she will look when she becomes a Water-type Pokémon," May said, now thinking what kind Misty might turn into when they find her. "What do you think, Ash?"

Ash was trying not to think about it, but he could see the many forms of Water Pokémon Misty might become. "Yes, think about her and her new form," the voice said to Ash. "You know that you want her. To be with her like you always wanted."

Ash nodded at what the voice was telling him, before thinking about what kind of Water Pokémon Misty might become. "No!" Ash thought, shaking his head from the thought the voice was trying to pit into his head. "I won't do it. I won't, so leave me alone!"

"Ash, what's the matter?" May asked, now getting worried for Ash, seeing the pain on his face. "Please don't fight it let it happen."

Ash looked into May's blue eyes before shaking his head at her. "I can't let that happen, May," Ash began knowing he would keep fighting this off, no matter what.

May only looked down, hearing this from Ash before she got off him and walked away, which only caused Ash to sigh deeply. "You can't fight it forever, Ash," May began as she looked back him, still frowning. "Sooner or later, so it is best if you give up, this is a new world after all."

Ash didn't say a word only watching May leave, knowing she wasn't happy with him and still fighting to keep his human mind. "Oh, it looks like you made your mate angry, you see, this is why you should give in."

Ash ignored the voice he had better thing to do right now then listen to it, knowing that it wanted him to give in, but that wasn't going to happen. "Ash, you need to see this!" Dawn cried out in fear.

"Whoa hold on, Dawn? What is going on?" Ash asked Dawn running next to Dawn as both she and Sherry looked at the news with fear on their faces.

"I repeat we are getting reports of the infection showing up in the Unova, Kanto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, Johto, Galar and Alola regions," the news women said with fear on her face. "As you know, the Kalos Region is lost to the hybrids that live there. I would like to remind everyone of you do see someone infected, please run away from them,"

"Ash, it's in our home regions," Dawn said, holding Ash before crying over what's going on. "What about my mom, is she..." Dawn began crying; she didn't want to think about what's happened to her mother. The fear and pain would be too much for Dawn right now.

Ash couldn't help but agree with Dawn as he was thinking about his mother knowing it was happening in Kanto as well, and he hated this. "But who would do this and why," he thought, but it wasn't like he or the others would find this out anytime soon.

Sherry looked at the two knowing that this was hard on them, both not knowing if their parents changed Sherry only hoped that they are safe. "Time will tell if they are safe, I hope that they are," she thought.

Okay, sure Ash, Sherry, and Dawn had no idea what the Galar and Alola regions were with the raven-haired trainer being curious about traveling through them and seeing what Pokémon resided in said regions, it'll have to wait until the current situation gets resolved. Not to mention there's still no way to contact Oak or even Ash's mother. Plus, he genuinely wished that he could find Pikachu and the other Pokémon, but without assistance, that can't happen.

Soon enough, he heard a voice, but it didn't sound like the one trying to make him give into the infection. "Huh?" he wondered as he had a feeling that he heard that voice before but couldn't put his finger on it… something that didn't go unnoticed from Dawn and Sherry.

"What's wrong, Ash?"

"I don't know," Ash said to Sherry, although he started to smile the moment, he had a feeling he knew the voice before heading out almost immediately much to the surprise of her and Dawn. "However, I think I have a feeling that someone's calling me."

Hearing this made Dawn and Sherry even more surprised than ever as they watched Ash exiting the cabin suddenly and made them worried. "Hey, wait up!"Sherry yelled before following the raven-haired young man with Dawn following close behind.

Once outside, Ash looked around as he hoped that his mind wasn't playing games with him again, unlike the previous times, which was trying to make him give in. "Are you there?" he yelled as he was praying to Arceus that it would be here. After all, if there's anyone who could provide some assistance, then it'll be an old friend from the Kanto region. "I know you're here, besides there's no one else who can help us at this point with the way things are currently going."

Suddenly a small ball of light appeared right in front of Ash, and a smile formed on his face the moment he saw it. "Ash!" he heard Dawn calling out as she and Sherry arrived at the scene, noticing him near the strange ball of light, which made them more surprised than they were earlier. "What is that?"

"It's an old friend."

Those words left both girls speechless hearing this from Ash. However, they couldn't say anything as they soon bore witness to the spirit transforming and taking on a human appearance. "No way!" they spoke out in shock with Dawn noticing this spirit wore a similar outfit to the one Riley wore when she, Ash, and Brock met him during their travels together at the Sinnoh region.

Another ball of light appeared next to the male spirit, and it changed into a bipedal, canine-like Pokémon, with fur that was predominantly blue and black. It possessed a-short, round spike on the back of each forepaw, in addition to a third on its chest. It had red eyes, a long snout, and ears. The moment it spoke its name, two pairs of pointed teeth, one in the upper jaw and one in the lower, were revealed.

It possessed cream-colored fur on its torso and a blue fur coat on its thighs that resembles shorts. It had a medium-length tail of the same blue color as well. It stood on its toes rather than on its entire foot, and it had four black appendages that hung down from its head. "A Lucario?" wondered Dawn and Sherry surprised at the sight of the Lucario, which appeared following the formation of the previous spirit.

"Not just any Lucario," said Ash, immediately recognizing the two spirits that were now standing before them, and a smile formed on his face as he spoke once again. "This one belongs to Sir Aaron, someone who May, Max, Brock, and I met back in Kanto when I was taking on the Battle Frontier."

"W-Wait what?" exclaimed Sherry, utterly shocked at hearing this news all while Dawn didn't know what to say, she was familiar with Lucario given how she knew Riley owned one in the Sinnoh region. When Cameron had a Riolu as shown when he arrived too late to take part in the Unova region's Pokémon World Tournament Junior Cup as it was already over by the time they arrived. How appropriate because it was around the time Dawn eventually parted ways with Ash, Iris, and Cilan following Trip's victory in the tournament and his subsequent defeat at the hands of Alder. What surprised her is the fact Cameron later ended up defeating Ash with a team of five Pokémon in the Unova League Quarter-Finals due to his Riolu evolving into Lucario against Ash's Snivy. "Okay, now I've seen everything…"

Ash smiled, knowing this could help them in finding either their missing Pokémon or even their friends since he knew about how Lucario could use Aura the same with Sir Aaron, and the latter couldn't become infected due to being dead. "It's been a long time, hasn't it, Lucario?" he said to the deceased Aura Pokémon, who silently nodded his head and then turned towards Sir Aaron.

"Okay, they have to know something why else would they be here, and now of all times," Ash thought, now looking at the two. "Why are you both here?"

At Petalburg City, Norman and Caroline were starting to become even more worried than ever before, mainly due to not hearing from their daughter May since before the infection began spreading across the entire Pokémon World like wildfire. "Norman, I'm worried…" began his wife, becoming more and more frantic over the current situation that the world was suffering, and it didn't help that they've been made aware of how there were people who they couldn't save.

"I know, I'm worried about May too…" began the Petalburg City Gym Leader, he couldn't help but hold Caroline in his arms in a bid to comfort her and yet, he feared the worse for his only daughter. "Part of me wants to go out there right now to find her."

"What? Are you even hearing yourself?!" exclaimed Caroline as she glared at her husband for thinking that, knowing full well, he could end up being a victim himself, and she couldn't stand the idea of losing another member of her family. Then, of course, there's their son Max to consider and how he'd feel about it himself. "You remember what Professor Birch said earlier."

"Yes, but I'm going to bring my Pokémon with me… I should be able to…"

"No, Norman! It's bad enough our eldest child had disappeared and potentially becoming infected because of this damned mess!" yelled Caroline, wanting to talk her husband out of this decision since it would be the equivalent of suicide, and she was forbidding it. "What if you didn't come back to us, and I was left alone with just Max, he already fears for his sister's well-being!"

Norman wasn't sure what to say, he could tell that his wife wasn't going to allow him to risk his life in a meaningless search when it's clear a majority of Hoenn was already infected. "Caroline, I…" he tried to speak, but no words were coming out of his mouth. The two of them were aware that Max had recently become old enough to become a Pokémon Trainer, and Max had gotten his starter Pokémon from Professor Birch. That also made them both smile when he became acquainted with his very first ever Pokémon. Unfortunately, Max's journey alone had to get postponed. All thanks due to the infection that started affected everyone within their region.

"She's a strong Pokémon Trainer now and a wonderful Coordinator, you should know that by now…" she soon said softly but still worried for her daughter. She remembered when May participated in the Hoenn Grand Festival all that long ago and how her time with Ash and Brock helped her in her growth as a whole. "I'm sure she would find a way to survive this and be able to make contact with us."

Once again, he didn't know how to respond as he knew that she made a very valid point considering their daughter become the Princess of Hoenn thanks to learning from Ash and Brock during her travels with them through Hoenn and Kanto. Leading May to travel through Johto all by herself and even visiting the Sinnoh region in time for the Wallace Cup. "Let's hope you're right," he said to the woman he loved, still worried about his daughter despite this. "I would never forgive myself if anything did happen to our daughter."

"Neither would I…"

As for Max, he was looking out the window of the Petalburg Gym, wishing he could at least do what he can to help his sister and even Ash and Brock. Unfortunately, his mother told him it was for the best that he stayed safe at home to avoid becoming a victim to the spreading infection. Sure, he knew how much his mother loved him and didn't want him to be hurt, but he had been through a similar situation before this with part of him wanting to head out there right now. "I just hope you're safe, May," Norman said sadly, as he wouldn't want to hear that anything terrible happened to his older sister.

"Run!" Bianca cried out in fear, holding onto Hilda's hand, running away from some hybrids looking back, knowing they had to keep running.

"Don't worry, Bianca. I am in no way I'm becoming a hybrid!" Hilda cried out, seeing the infected and hated this as she knew what would happen to them. Hilda was also determined to make sure her friend didn't suffer the same fate that they had seen happen to the others in their home town.

After a short time they managed to find a hiding place as both girls sat down, Hilda was still making sure no hybrids followed them. "I hope we can get to a safe place," Hilda thought as she looked over to Bianca.

"Hilda, I'm scared," Bianca said as she shivered in fear trying to hold back the tears. "I don't want to lose anyone else because of this stupid virus."

"I know Bianca," Hilda said, seeing her mother becoming a hybrid as she pushed the thought out of her head. "No, I can't think about that. We need to leave this place fast."

Bianca nodded as she closed her eyes and placed her head on Hilda's shoulder. "If we get infected, what will we become?" Bianca asked, thinking it over, not sure what she would change into and who she would mate with, maybe Ash.

"I don't know," Hilda said, wrapping her arms around Bianca. "But, we'll keep each other safe no matter what."

Bianca nodded, hearing this both she gasped out in pain hunching over it was then Hilda noticed a scratch on Bianca. "NO!" Hilda cried out, knowing what this meant, and so did Bianca.

"Ahh, Hilda, please help me!"

Hilda watched not sure what to do seeing Bianca knowing she was soon going to change into a hybrid, as Hilda soon heard Bianca moaning, was it from the pain she didn't know. "Bianca..."

The moan was the first of many that now escaped her mouth as Bianca found herself panting wildly. The cold was no longer a problem for her since Bianca felt the warmth that continued to surge within the girl. Sure, there was a slight pain for a moment as she felt her feet harden and change into hard, dark hooves, but that wasn't even close compared to the feeling of white-hot ecstasy that continued to flood Bianca's body as she moaned once again.

Hilda could only watch on seeing her best friend becoming a Deerling as Bianca let out a rather mighty bellow, the girl feeling better and better as her changes continued to alter her body. "No, please, Bianca, you have to fight it!"

"But, Hilda, I feel good..." Bianca said, feeling her changes continue as she looked at her best friend and giggled. "You should join me, Hilda. You'll feel much better once you change."

It wasn't long before Bianca felt her head changing as well, although she was too busy embracing the changes to find anything wrong with them. The girl's sense of smell quickly increased nearly tenfold as her nose changed in construction, becoming a small black point at the end of her now shifting muzzled face. Bianca couldn't help but blush a bit as she continued to watch her body change, even as the girl's ears became pointed now hiding amidst her waves of yellow hair.

A creamy fur was quick to envelop the girl's face and torso as she continued to cry out as a dark brown shade now covered the girl's back as well as her forehead. It was making her smile before accompanied by a trim of yellow fur that separated the colors of the fur coat, with small yellow spots also appearing along the girl's backside, allowing her to resemble the Seasonal Pokémon further.

Screaming in pleasure as she looked over to Hilda with lust Bianca hardly noticed the foot-long brown tail that quickly shot straight out of her behind, making her transformation complete. "Bianca?" Hilda asked with fear in her voice.

As a Deerling, her fur coat would change according to the season, and while Bianca didn't mind brown, she couldn't wait for the pink, orange, or green fur coat in the future. She'd very much relish her new form. She mused with a smile as she looked at Hilda with a smirk crawling on all fours over to her best friend.

Hilda saw this and knew she had to run, seeing the look that Bianca had in her eyes. "No, Bianca, don't you come any closer!" Hilda cried out to her best friend.

Bianca smirked not hearing this from Hilda as her mind had one thing, to make Hilda like she was, to make her friend reborn. "Can't do that, Hilda," She said, jumping onto Hilda and biting the girl.

Hilda moaned in pleasure as her feet morphed into delicate feline paws with three toes, causing the boots to slip off. Short yellow hair grew up to just above her knees, where it changed to longer, purple fur.

Her thighs swelled as a tail snaked its way out of her rear, growing three feet long and becoming thin throughout its length as the purple fur enveloped it.

As the fur on her stomach, it changed to yellow. As the yellow fur marched up to her chest and the purple fur crawled up her back, her breasts expanded to a G-cup, tearing her shirt to pieces. As the fur crawled over her breasts, the hairs in-between the mounds grew twice as long. As the purple fur soon crawled down Hilda's arms and she wanted this to be over.

The fur a couple of inches above her elbows grew three times as long on the outer facing side as the hairs made a hard transition from purple to yellow a few inches below her elbow. As the fur marched up to her neck, her face stretched and morphed into a rounded triangular pyramid with her face extending into a feline muzzle.

The yellow fur stopped just above her mouth as her teeth sharpened, the fur formed a pink strip above the yellow as her nose shrank and shaped into a rounded triangle. The pink fur then formed around her eyes as they grew and turned bright green. The rest of her head became covered in purple fur as her hair turned purple and grew out, stopping as it trailed on the ground behind her seven feet.

Her hair then became locked in tight curls as pink and yellow highlights crept into it. Everywhere on her body that had purple fur beside her arms and face became dotted with random splotches of yellow. All were forming into three different shapes: dots, rounded triangle outlines, and round diamond outline, two one inch long yellow streaks formed on her forehead as the transformations ceased.

All Bianca did was smile as she glanced at her friend and was amazed by how she now looked. "Hilda?" she asked, hoping that the brown-haired girl from Nuvema Town had transformed both physically and mentally. Hilda's response was a smile back, which caused her to beam up even more than before at the sight of this. "How are you feeling right now?"

"I feel amazing… reborn and outright sexy."

Hearing this made Bianca smile as the two hybrids approached one another and began kissing like no tomorrow, wanting to make this last for a very long time. "Wow, you sure are an excellent kisser," she said to her fellow trainer from Nuvema, kissing every inch of her fellow female hybrid's body as they were truly enjoying this moment more and more.

"Oh, don't stop!" began Hilda, becoming aroused the moment she felt Bianca's lips on her body, and it made her genuinely want to mate with the blonde-haired female. If she was honest, she wished that she had taken part in the Unova League, especially after having heard about how Bianca had been defeated in the tournament by a trainer named Cameron and his overpowered Riolu.

The words in question got her friend now turned lovers' attention. "Don't worry, I have no intention of stopping," she replied to Hilda as she began kissing her once again, and the two soon found themselves mating…. Not caring if anyone was in the area to witness this. On the other hand, both were curious as to what their friend Cheren, the Gym Leader of Aspertia City, would look like as a hybrid. They'll cross that bridge when they come to it. For now, they want to enjoy their fun with each other for as much as possible.

"Once we're all finished, we should find my friend Ash you would love him, my dear Hilda," Bianca said with a smile knowing he must have become infected as well by now.

Hilda smiled with lust, hearing this as she kissed Bianca. "Hmm, I love that idea, Bianca."

At another part of Unova, Virgil and his brother Davy were glancing out to the distance, the younger man having a look of concern on his face. Ever since the virus started spreading, their hometown had been under attack by a group of hybrids, and even Virgil's Team Eevee had struggled against them. To make matters worse, Davy and Virgil's father, Jeff, ended up sacrificing himself to ensure that his sons managed to escape as they watched in horror as he underwent the transformation that many who were infected had gone through. "Damn it…" he said to himself, mentally cursing for what became of their father and never expected to feel so powerless.

"You okay, Virgil?"

Virgil turned towards his older brother, who was glancing down at him with the very same look of concern that he did. "Yeah, just thinking about dad, that's all," he explained to Davy, all while frowning, not that the older male blamed him for feeling that way. Since, had it not been for the helicopter, including their father's noble sacrifice, they too would've been amongst those turned into hybrids. "How could this have happened?"

All Davy did was frown placing a hand onto his younger brother's shoulder. "You couldn't have known about the virus… we all couldn't have known…" he assured the winner of the Vertress Conference, doing what he can to help cheer him up in any way. "I'm sure there's going to be a way to help everyone, especially dad."

There was nothing but silence from Virgil, although he had to admit that Davy made a valid point on the matter. "Yeah, you're right… I mean, we can't call ourselves a Rescue Team if we can't rescue everyone from this infection," he said as his glance shifting towards his Team Eevee, including his newly evolved Sylveon.

He never expected to have another Eeveelution, as Virgil wasn't aware of until Eevee's evolution then again. Since both he and his family were still surprised at the fact, Sylveon was a Fairy-Type Pokémon and how she's now immune to Dragon-Type moves. Somewhat ironic, given how she took down Dino's Druddigon in the final round of the Unova League Vertress Conference while she was still an Eevee during that time plus participating in the tournament, it made her more confident than ever. "What do you suppose we do now?" he asked, feeling that things were only getting worse due to hearing how the virus was spreading to other regions, not just Unova.

"Once we have the necessary supply, we're going to have to leave Unova," explained Davy, not liking the idea. Still, he knew there's nothing more they can do since the longer they stayed in one place, their chances of being discovered by potential hybrids in the area increased. He knew that those words would shock Virgil even more than ever. However, there wasn't more they could do by remaining in a region that was becoming more and more infected.

"I'm sorry unless we have a cure for the entire world, not just here, this is our only option."

"Are you even hearing yourself, Davy?"

"I know you don't like the idea, I don't either," Davy tried to assure his brother again as this was going to be hard on the two of them, having to abandon their home region. Usually, that wasn't what a rescuer would do in a dire situation, but there was no time to argue, especially when it's clear this was a situation even. They couldn't resolve the way they usually do. "But right now, this is our only option."

Virgil didn't know what to say or do and wanted to protest this. However, he soon noticed his Team Eevee approaching him one by one. "Huh?" he asked the moment he saw all his Eeveelutions coming to his side, and they each bore a worried look for their trainer, especially his newly evolved Sylveon as they wanted to have a say on the matter themselves.

'I'm afraid your brother is right, Virgil' began Umbreon, he was the first Eeveelution that Virgil ever owned as he felt that he needed to understand the gravity of the issue at hand. 'Besides, if we leave, then we might be able to use that as a chance to get some help. I mean, if we're lucky, then we'll probably come across Ash, Iris, and Cilan since they might've been able to find a way to avoid being infected.'

Remaining silent, Virgil remembered when he first met the three trainers in question before the Unova League Vertress Conference even started. He watched as Ash battled his way up to the Quarter-Finals, where Ash ultimately met defeat at the hands of Cameron and his Lucario.

In a way, Virgil had a feeling that he would've had to deal with Cameron, but he came prepared, and with his team, they were able to emerge victorious against the opponent who defeated Ash and Bianca. "You know, I had all but forgotten about them, to be honest," he said as he did like the idea of seeing Ash again after so long, but at the same time, none of them were aware of what became of the three. "Even so, what if…"

'We all know what you are about to say, but there's no need to do so' Espeon interrupted before his human could finish his sentence. He could tell that the young man was having mixed feelings about having to leave Unova behind, even if it was temporary. 'If there's a chance to get as much assistance as we can, we need to take it before it's too late.'

Nodding to what Espeon said, Vaporeon decided to speak next. 'In the worst-case scenario, the rest of the team and I will do all we can to keep you and your brother safe,' he said as this wasn't going to be like the Vertress Conference or the events with Dirk. Since the entire world was in danger and hiding here until the matter with the virus eventually resolved itself wasn't going to help. 'You need to trust us on this, and even your brother knows what's best right now.'

Staying silent, Virgil glanced at his Eeveelutions, seeing the look of determination on their faces, even more so Sylveon as she gave a small smile to her trainer. 'I agree with the rest of my teammates, the longer we wait, the more hybrids could come to be so if there's a way to help those who haven't become infected as of yet then we better take it quickly' she said softly, placing one of her feelers into her trainer's hand. 'Your father would understand if he were here right now.'

There was more silence as Virgil looked at his entire Team Eevee gathered, but then he started smiling brightly. "Alright, I guess you're right," he said, which caused the eight Eeveelutions to be relieved that their trainer was beginning to understand the reasons for needing to leave their home region behind and how it's not going to be permanently either. "Hey Davy, how long before all the supplies are collected?"

"Shouldn't take much longer," Davy replied as he checked the inventory on what they should bring with them, and hopefully it'll last them during their time trying to gather as many people as they can before either the virus or any hybrids reached them. Luckily from what they could tell, Pokémon, as he knew, were completely safe from the former, so that would be something to benefit them in their newest mission, and he knew that might also make things a little easier for them too. "It'll take another minute or two, and then we should be good to go."

"Okay…" Virgil nodded his head, turning his glance back towards his Team Eevee and then out into the distance with an expression of determination on his face. He could only hope that the Eeveelutions were right about Ash, Iris, and Cilan being okay since he had no idea where they could be or if they're even in Unova anymore. Still, Virgil and his brother needed to be ready, and there's a chance that the worst was yet to come. "Ash, I hope you're out there and safe. Because once this is all over, we're going to have a lot of catching up to do."

---

Ash was still shocked, seeing both Sir Aaron and Lucario here. "So, why are you two here, I mean," Ash began looking at the two as they did pass away.

Dawn and Sherry are still shocked but hoped the two at least had some good news, and maybe even how to stop this infection. "Can you help us stop it?" Dawn asked with hope.

"As much as we like to, we can't," answered Sir Aaron with a frown, knowing this wasn't the answer that the three wanted to hear, but it needed saying given the circumstances. "However, there is something that you must be made aware of regarding what's happening right now."

"Oh? What?"

"It seems that there are hybrids that have gone so far, they are beyond saving from what has happened," he explained with sadness on his face on the people. Thinking about how those who were transforming into hybrids not only couldn't be saved but also started becoming more hostile towards those who were still human and, in some cases, towards other hybrids. "The longer they remain infected, the chance of saving your world diminishes… as whoever was behind the virus, wanted to make sure that there would be no one to oppose them."

The news started making Ash, Dawn, and Sherry more concerned. "What about Brock, Clemont, and Bonnie?" Ash asked of Sir Aaron, hoping for some good news regarding the situation because he didn't want his friends to end up meeting the same fate that he, Dawn, and Sherry did or even ultimately fall victim to the infection like May and Serena. "Are they safe?"

"They are, for now, however. It seems that two of your friends were sadly not so fortunate," he replied to the younger man, which made them even more worried as the next thing he had to say would be another shocker given how Ash and Dawn at least were familiar with the two friends in question. "You might remember them from your travels through Unova and the Decolore Islands."

"Unova and the Decolore Islands…" began Ash as he carefully thought this through, then it hit him… he had two friends who specifically came from the former, and that traveled with him from their home region to the Decolore Islands and then finally to Kanto before leaving on the Magnet Train at Saffron City to go to the Johto region and continue their respective dreams there. "You don't mean, Iris and Cilan, do you?"

"Huh?" wondered Sherry with slight confusion on her face, this was her first time hearing the names Iris and Cilan as she saw Sir Aaron nodding his head to Ash slowly and the expression that her friend now had. "Who exactly are Iris and Cilan?"

"They're trainers whom Ash traveled with while in Unova and the Decolore Islands, I met them in the former when I went there some time ago," explained Dawn. She was thinking back to her reunion with Ash at Unova and how she also got along well with Iris and Cilan even when the Pokémon World Tournament Junior Cup took place at Driftveil City. The smile she had immediately faded upon learning the two were victims of the spreading infection. "Still, I didn't expect them to suffer the same fate we did, though."

"I see…"

It didn't take long before Sir Aaron spoke again, knowing what he had to tell would make things much worse for the three. "Listen carefully, I believe there is a way that you'll at least be able to find your friends," he said to them, feeling that it could help should the worse ever come and the ones responsible make their presence known. "However, it would require Ash to tap into Aura to accomplish the task at hand."

Sherry blinked even more than ever as she wasn't familiar with Aura other than the fact Lucario was known as the Aura Pokémon. "Wait, Aura?" she asked, causing Ash and Dawn to turn their attention towards their new friend as they couldn't blame her for feeling that way.

"It's a form of spiritual energy from what I remember, and it's the essence of living creatures," Ash explained to the confused girl. Still, he remembered the first real-time he tapped into that power and especially during the time he took on the Battle Frontier in his home region while May was taking on the Pokémon Contests there. "It's hard for me to explain right now, then again I haven't this power in a very long time either… so there's a chance I might not be able to utilize it again."

That made both Sherry and Dawn frown, especially since Ash had such power inside and yet couldn't tap into it again when it's obvious they're only chance to find their friends and especially their missing Pokémon as well. "Isn't there some way we can help Ash in reawakening his power?" Dawn asked Sir Aaron, remembering how Riley trained to become an Aura Guardian in Sinnoh. However, there might not be enough time for Ash to undergo the same training since he would eventually definitely succumb to the infection by the time it even starts.

"I think there might be one way… however, I'm not too happy about it…"

Hearing the news made Ash, Dawn, and Sherry look at Sir Aaron and his Lucario with slight fear and are worried. "Please tell us," began Sherry, becoming hopeful since they don't know how long they have before they too became like the other hybrids throughout the Pokémon World.

"Away to have your mind return, once the virus finishes what it's doing," Sir Aaron told the three.

---

"We're getting close," Lance said, glancing at Brock, observing the worried look he had right now. "I know you hate what's happened to your friend Misty, but we're working on a cure.

Despite hearing this from Lance, Brock still hated this and wondered what if she was infected. "Yeah, I know, and maybe if both Ash and Misty are infected, I'm hoping that they will find each other."

"I hope that Serena won't be mad. I mean, she likes Ash too," Bonnie responded, recognizing how the older girl acted when she was with Ash.

"Unless she doesn't care," Lance said as Bonnie and Clemont not sure what he meant. "Oh, you see from what we have gathered some males infected have more than one mate," Lance told them.

Brock was shocked to hear this but knew at least Misty, and Serena won't kill each other. "Not to mention any other girls that might like Ash," Brock thought, now smiling and shaking his head.

Bonnie was still worried about what the plan was next. After all, she knew that soon nowhere might be safe from this infection. "Where will we go? I mean, this virus is everywhere?"

Lance could see the fear still in the little girl's eyes, not that he blamed her with all Bonnie has seen. "To a safe zone, it's got food, and the hybrids will have a hard time attacking it."

"Yeah, but we still need to reach the Rendezvous viewpoint, Sir Lance," one soldier said, glancing around weapon at the ready. "I just hope the others made it there."

"You're going to kill the hybrids?" Clemont asked already knowing this answer, and he didn't like it to him. "But why can't we later cure them, why kill them?"

"We don't like it either kid I watched a buddy I knew since I was your age turn," the soldier said with a frown and sadness. "But if we are all changed, then that's it. Would you want to lose your sister because of the hybrids?"

Clemont was shocked to hear this, but the man before him was right, and he didn't want Bonnie to suffer that fate to become a hybrid like so many others. "No, I understand, I won't let anything happen to my sister."

Lance then looked back with caution, making sure nothing was following them as Brock stopped looking at Lance. "What is it?" Brock asked with a whisper.

Lance pointed to a group of hybrids in the distance as the others got down to their knees, each hoping they didn't get spotted. "This isn't good," Lance began with concern. "They are blocking our way."

"Can't we get around them?" Lillie asked, looking to Lance and the others, knowing that it wasn't worth the risk in taking the hybrids on, not if they could help it.

Lance was thinking about what Lillie said before looking at his watch and how much time they had left. "Damn, no can do on that," Lance whispered to the group.

"Yeah," one soldier said, resenting this and staring at his watch. "We can't go around it would take too much time."

Brock knew that this was serious, and looked back to the hybrids unsure what they are saying. Nevertheless, it didn't matter all that matter right now to the small group was getting to the helicopter.

"Wait, I see more hybrids," Clemont said, observing another one a female one too, and from what he could tell, this was an Espeon hybrid. "We need to do something now before more show up."

Lance nodded as he looked around the area with caution Lance wanted to make sure nothing else would show up since the next move was going to be risky. Lance then looked to the two soldiers seeing they are also ready with what's about to happen.

Brock was also looking at Lance, and from the expression that the champion had on his face, it appears that Lance had a plan. "So, what do you have planned then?" Brock asked, now seeing Lance smile.

"With this flash-bang grenade," the second soldier said with a smile holding in his hand and looking over to Lance, ready for his order. "I'm ready, Lance. Just give me the word."

Lance nodded, glancing back to Brock and the others, knowing that they needed to get ready, as once it went off, they would all have to start running.

Clemont understood this all too well now, holding Bonnie's hand. "I'm ready, so is Bonnie," Clemont said while Bonnie nodded, wanting to get to a safe place.

Lance gave a smile before he nodded to the soldier who took a deep breath and pulled the pin on the flash-bang grenade and threw it towards the hybrids. "Get ready to run."

The younger members all nodded as they all covered their eyes as the flash-bang grenade went off, and the hybrids all cried out in pain. "Argh shit, my eyes that fucking hurts who did that!"

Clemont smiled, seeing this work and knew why it hurts them more than it would when they used to be humans. "Makes sense that the flash-bang grenade would hurt them more," Clemont began as they all started running. "Their eyes adjusted. To fit with their new forms,"

"Meaning, depending on the hybrids, we might be able to fight them off?" Lillie asked, seeing the infected still crying out in pain.

Clemont nodded, but that would take time, Brock was also thankful as he passed the Espeon hybrid and knew who this used to be when they had once been human. "Wait, is that Anabel?"

Seeing someone he has encountered once before shocked Brock, but he had no time to think about the matter they needed to run, and that's what they kept doing running.

As the group continued to run, they spotted some flying hybrids. "Shit Murphy above!" the first soldier cried out as he looked to the brother and sister. "Better make sure she doesn't see this!"

Clemont nodded as she covered Bonnie's eyes while Murphy nodded as both soldiers began shooting into the sky, taking out the hybrids coming down on them.

As they continued to run, they spotted the helicopter in the distance, with three more soldiers waiting for them. "Hurry up!"

"I see it!" Bonnie cried as she smiled, looking to her brother. "We're going to make it!" Bonnie cried out with joy.

"We're not safe yet, kid," the soldier said, seeing some hybrids behind them seeing Murphy was shooting at the ground to back them off before seeing one up in the trees.

It was an Aipom girl that jumped on Murphy's back. "Argh, get the hell off me!" he cried out as he soon felt the teeth bite into the man's neck.

"NO, MURPHY!" the first soldier cried out, seeing what happened and knew what this meant for the man.

"Shit!" Murphy cried out, pulling the Aipom hybrid off him and holding onto his bleeding neck. "You lot need to keep going. I'm already fucked anyway, no need to drag you all with me, so you keep running Mark."

"We have to keep going!" Lance cried out as the ones left continued to run, while the soldiers at the helicopter continued shooting the hybrids that got too close to them.

"Hurry, get in!" Mark yelled to the others, helping Bonnie into the helicopter, once Bonnie was in her brother followed her, as the two siblings hugged each other.

"Lille your turn," Brock told her as she nodded she was ready to get in, but before she could get in Lillie, was tackled to the ground by another hybrid another female one too.

"Time to join us, sweetheart," the Vulpix girl added but her on the wrist, therefore infecting her too. "Don't worry, you'll love it, you might find a mate. Well, once you're reborn, that is my dear." the Vulpix hybrid told her with glee.

"Run, forget about me!" Lillie yelled at the other tears falling down her face, knowing it's too late for her.

---

"Dawn..." Ash responded, now pulling her into a hug, both still shocked to hear what they have learned happened to their home regions. Ash didn't know what else he could tell the blue-haired girl, understanding she despised what's happening. "I have no idea what might have happened to our family," Ash began while Dawn stared into Ash's eyes. "But I know we need to stick together."

Dawn only looked at Ash and smiled at him. "Thanks, Ash, I needed to hear that," Dawn said, laying her head on Ash's shoulder.

Sherry glanced at the two knowing they are worried as Ash then looked to her. "What about your parents?" Ash asked, now feeling concerned for her.

Sherry smiled, knowing Ash wanted to make sure she was okay too, but she needed to make sure that both Ash Dawn and even she continued to fight the infection. "I'm not sure," Sherry told the two.

The two looked at Sherry, understanding she must be concerned or had no idea. "Sherry, we could go looking for them," Dawn told the Pachirisu girl.

Sherry only looked over to Dawn and smiled at her. "Thanks, Dawn, but right now, I don't think that would be the best idea," Sherry began before looking to Ash. "I mean, the virus is gradually taking over our minds."

Ash and Dawn nodded at Sherry, both hearing the voice talking to them in letting them go of their humanity. "Your right Sherry," Ash said with anger, as while he hated this and wanted to save his mother, it's too much of a risk.

"But why are we hearing them?" Dawn asked, before looking at the two as Sherry glanced at Dawn with a penetrating look. "Oh yeah, our minds are going," Dawn said, knowing she would infect her mother.

Sherry nodded grimly at the two. "Yeah, I can feel it too, Dawn I want to infect others, make them like us, although it's slow," Sherry said, before stopping looking at her hands.

"Sherry's right, Dawn," Ash said, looking to her, knowing he could also feel it, as his thought turned to Misty with a part of him craving to infect Misty.

Once again, the voice returned as Ash heard it laughing at him. "Yes, go and find Misty make her like us. You do love her, after all." Hearing it, Ash shut his eyes as Sherry glanced at Ash with fear.

"Ash, what's the matter?" Dawn asked as she was also getting worried for Ash right now, noticing something was wrong.

"You can hear that voice again, right?" Sherry asked, looking to Ash as he nodded with fear on his face. "Damn it."

"Yeah, it wants me to go looking for Misty to infect her. I mean, I know that it's something that May wants as well," Ash said as he was thankful that both girls are currently sleeping right now.

Sherry breathed as she was acknowledging what this meant for Ash. "How many times has it told you to go after Misty Ash?" Sherry urged Ash as time might be running out for all three of them.

"I've been hearing it a few times. It keeps saying the same thing," Ash said, loathing that voice as he looked over to Sherry, wanting for him to finish. "It tells me to change Misty or let one of you turn her why I have no idea, and if it's not about Misty, then it's giving up my humanity."

Dawn was worried about hearing this as Dawn was thinking about the many friends she knew that she might change before she let out a weak laugh. "I think I know who I might change," she responded as Sherry glanced her way.

"Who do you want to change, Dawn?" Ash asked, knowing it would be Kenny, and a part of him didn't like that knowing it was the primal side. "No, I can't think like that, Ash, I can't."

"My mind or that voice, who the hell knows," Dawn said with anger as she tightened her fists with rage. "But it keeps telling me to change Zoey and my mother."

Sherry nodded, understanding now how the voice was working even more now and what the thing talking to them was. "I think I found out just what this voice is, you two."

"What is it then?" Ash and Dawn both asked, looking to Sherry, hoping that maybe now they could stop it and free May and Serena.

"Yeah, I do, the voice we keep hearing it's us," Sherry said while Ash and Dawn only looked at her, not sure what to say hearing this revelation. "I'm sorry, you two."

They continued to look at Sherry, not sure if this was a joke, and they hoped it was one. "Sherry, please tell me that this is a joke?" Ash asked, but looking at Sherry's face, and he could tell this wasn't a joke.

Shaking her head, Sherry looked at Ash and Dawn, knowing this and understanding why it was hard. She still found it hard too. "I wish I was joking Ash, trust me, I do."

"But how can the voices me our own?" Dawn asked, wanting to know why and how they are hearing them. "I mean, why Sherry, it doesn't even sound like us or something we would say."

"I know Dawn, but look at us we're not even human anymore we're Pokémon hybrids, and you've seen how others act when getting infected," Sherry began with fear in her voice and knew why Dawn was terrified.

Ash didn't approve of this information either. "I guess the more we hear that voice well, I should say our voices, the closer we are to losing out humanity then," Ash said as it was a thought that he didn't like at all.

Sherry only nodded dejectedly at this while looking up at the two. "I mean it makes sense, it's our very own minds telling us what we want," Sherry began as she looked at Ash. "I mean for you, Ash, it's finding Misty because you love her and want her to be your mate."

"What about you?"

She soon frowned as she heard Ash asking her that question, and she gave a small sigh. "It's trying to tell me to mate with you and with Dawn as well," she said, which made the two surprised, then again, they never really expected her to develop feelings for them both and a slight blush formed at the thought of it. "Don't laugh at me please okay, I never expected something like this to happen at all."

Ash knew it wasn't a laughing matter at all, especially given that she mentioned her very own voice telling her to mate with both him and Dawn. "Now that I think about it," his glance turned towards Dawn, especially as he would've thought she'd end up with her childhood friend Kenny and yet there was something he wanted to ask her. "Is your voice saying the same thing? Wanting to get you to mate with Sherry and me?"

The remark made Dawn frown even more, feeling that what she told him would be embarrassing as well since she heard that he loves Misty. "Dawn, are you okay?" he asked her as he knew that her being silent towards him wasn't a good sign.

"Yeah, I'm fine…" she replied simply, not looking at Ash and Sherry though it wasn't the answer they were expecting.

"You're lying, I can tell," Ash responded as it's clear something was bothering Dawn and wanted to know, though a thought occurred to him given how it would have something to do with the voice making her want to mate with him as well as Sherry. "Wait a minute, do you like me?"

After knowing this made Dawn's expression change to surprise upon him, making such a comment. "I'll take your silence as a yes," he said, something that made him even more concerned as he wasn't sure if Sherry and Dawn liking him was due to the infection making them want to be his mates or not. On the other hand, he wasn't sure what to make of this as he has never been really focused on any cute girls ever since Giselle from Pokémon Tech, and that was back before he even developed feelings for Misty.

"Well, you gotta take May and Serena into account as well," added Sherry, especially as given how she could tell that the two girls found Ash, Dawn, and even herself attractive in some form or another.

As for Ash and Dawn, they didn't need to be reminded about May and Serena though, at the same time, neither of them even considered ever being in a real relationship. The former having thought May would be with Drew, especially with the brunette sometimes mentioning his name but was speechless at hearing that the young girl from Hoenn liked him more rather than Drew. "You had to bring that up… didn't you," he said, although he wasn't angry but wanted to process this whole thing as he never really noticed if any girl had a liking towards him.

"I'm sorry…"

"Don't worry about it," answered Ash, part of him wondered if girls only liked him because of being victims of the virus or in the case of Dawn and Sherry because the voices were trying to get them to mate with him by getting them ultimately to succumb completely. "Besides, what matters is that we get ready to look for the others."

"Well, to do that, you'll need to remember how to unlock your ability to use Aura," reminded Dawn, thinking about their conversation with Sir Aaron earlier and how the others were safe for now. I was the same with Ash's first rival Gary and a few people whom the raven-haired young men met during his journey. The problem is the method that suggested. However, they needed to do something before the others got infected or even end up beyond saving themselves. "I don't like how we're going to do so, but what choice do we have?"

Ash looked at Dawn and knew she was right. "I know Dawn," Ash began, but he was still having a hard time using his Aura. "But what if..." Ash started but didn't want to finish.

Dawn looked at Ash as she smiled, stopping him from talking. "Whatever will happen to us, Ash will happen Ash, and we just have to keep fighting to keep our minds for as long as we all can?"

Ash smiled at Dawn, knowing she was right, as they would keep fighting this no matter what. "I just hope the training will help me keep my mind," Ash thought as he stared at Dawn.

The two smiled as they looked at each other, both hearing the voice in their head to let go and mate Dawn, smiled as she sat on Ash lap, now gazing into his eyes. "Ash..." Dawn began as she smiled at him.

"Dawn..." Ash said in a lustful tone looking who was before him, a sexy Bunneary girl who would later become even hotter. "You look so..."

Before Ash could say anything, Dawn kissed him deeply as she smirked at him. "No more talking, Ash. I want to mate with you," Dawn said, speaking with lust.

Catching the attention of Sherry as she too was beginning to find herself giving to the lust as well, this also started worrying Sherry seeing this happening. "Ash… Dawn…" began Sherry, which got the attention of the two in question the moment she spoke.

"Yes?"

Without another word, Sherry started pressing her lips against Ash's. "I hope you wouldn't mind that I join the two of you," she said, having the same kind of lust that Ash and Dawn now had, which started making them even more aroused than ever before.

"We don't mind at all," Dawn replied before pushing Sherry down and kissing her firmly much as she did with Ash earlier on, with the new girl moaning as they continued to make out with one another. It was then that they began to please Ash in any way they could as both girls wanted to make their first time with him truly special. "Besides, I want you and Ash all to myself. Maybe we could even have May and Serena to join in on the fun."

"But…" Sherry started to speak, remembering that the May and Serena might be resting in the room upstairs still and most likely not make it for their alone time. "Aren't they still sleeping with one another inside the bedroom? I mean, we don't want to disturb them after all."

Hearing that, both Ash and Dawn considered this as Sherry did make a valid point. "Yeah, that's true, although I have a feeling, they wouldn't mind at all," Dawn told them all while having a seductive smile on her face. "After all, they are one of us if memory serves."

"Yeah, that's true."

"It's about time you realized what it means to be like this" came a familiar female voice, and the three turned to see that Serena and May were already downstairs the moment they heard the sounds of sex from in their bedroom.

Although surprised at first, Ash, Dawn, and Sherry each smiled at the two girls as it looked like they weren't going to miss out on the fun they're about to have after all. "When did you two get down here?" Sherry was the one to ask of the other girls.

"We just arrived because we were starting to get bored and a little hungry," Serena informed the new girl with a smile… especially as now was the perfect time to sleep with Ash, and nothing was going to prevent her, whether it be the trio from Team Rocket or otherwise. "Also, I hope you weren't going to hog Ash all to yourselves, would you?"

"What, no, we wouldn't dream of it," Dawn replied to Serena, having the same smile that the honey-blonde had, and especially since the time was perfect, so now neither of them had to go upstairs to get her or May. "We were going to ask if you and May wanted to join in when you two arrived."

Sherry nodded her head. "So, what do you two say?" she asked them all while May and Serena started to truly beam up more than ever before since this was one moment, they looked forward to enjoying.

"Isn't it obvious?" Serena asked back, smiling even more than ever at the fact she would finally get to be with Ash, the boy whom she had a crush on ever since their first meeting at the Pokémon Summer Camp in the Kanto region and turned her attention towards May. "What about you, May?"

"You bet!"

Dawn and Sherry smiled in delight at hearing the news. "Well, we're glad to hear that," said the bluenette before pressing her lips against May's and Sherry doing the same thing with Serena. Both girls were immediately kissing back without any hesitation with Ash starting to truly enjoy seeing this moment even more than ever now that his additional mates decided to join in.

The four hybrid girls looked at Ash with a smile on their faces knowing this was something they all wanted and couldn't hold back their desire anymore. "My mates..." Ash announced.

"Ash, please mate with us," all four girls said as they looked at their lover. "Please, we all want you."

Lillie continued to run as she got away from the hybrids but knew she was infected and would soon start changing. All she knew was she needed to find help but knew it was pointless. "At least the others got away."

"Ahhh, no, I need to fight this!" Lillie's eyes widened as she watched a coat of soft white fur grow along her arms, as she instinctively lurched back in terror from the strange sight. "No, I'm turning!?" Lillie cried out in fear.

Lillie frowned as she watched her hands grow blue-fur. There was no denying the ever-increasing, pleasurable heat within her, especially as more of the soft, warm white fur began sprouting up over other regions of her body. And it felt amazing.

Lillie let out little moans as she knew and wanted to fight this, but she heard a voice whispering to her. "Yes, enjoy it, you will become so sexy, and I know you'll love it."

Lillie tried fighting the infection from taking her mind as she began tearing her clothes off before she knew what she was doing. "No, I won't!" Lillie screamed, holding her head.

As the white fur began slowly spreading across her exposed chest and stomach, the pleasurable sensation managing to finally overcome the terror in her mind as Lille cried out with joy.

Lillie groaned as her face pushed out into a vulpine muzzle, her long tongue making it visible as she began panting in heat and lust. It was impossible to ignore how good she felt, the beauty's hands making their way to her, furry breasts as she began touching them in desire. Yet even as she began giving in to her body's needs, sending pleasure racing through her changing mind, a few lingering questions remained.

Her transformation continued, her now-triangular ears pocking out from the top of her blonde hair. She was delighted as her feet became paws, the sensation of the furry little things against the floor felt heavenly as her desire only increased.

Six fluffy, curly tails exploded from the woman's shapely rear, the blonde's panties unable to handle the extra limbs as they had torn to shred. Just like that, Lillie cast away the last remnants of her humanity as she came, lust burning within her eyes.

"Mate, need to find a mate," Lille said as she looked around, spotting a house the same home that Ash and the others are staying at, and Lillie wondered if she would find herself a mate there.

Then again, she could hear sounds from inside the house which happened to be a sign there were indeed fellow hybrids mating and a smile soon formed on her face. "I hope they won't mind having an additional mate," she said to herself as she slowly approached her destination and waited for just the right moment to surprise the group in question.

Lillie opened the door to the home and could tell and hear the sounds coming from the bedroom, knowing this was her chance, but she wanted to be sure.

Once Lillie reached the door, she slowly opened it to look inside, seeing what was going on as she spotted a Lucario hybrid kissing and Eevee hybrid. "Hmm, he looks like he would make a fine mate," Lille said, blushing and continued watching. "I hope he wants to mate with me too."

The Eevee girl smiled as she moved and kissed the Lucario. "Ash, keep kissing me," the Eevee girl said, smiling as Lille was shocked to hear the name that the Eevee girl just said.

"Could this be the same Ash that Brock and the others were talking about?" Lillie thought, but seeing the mates, Ash had caused Lillie to smile.

Lillie looked back into the room once more, seeing Ash kissing what May his hands moving to her rear end. "May you look so sexy," Ash said, kissing the Eevee girl deeply.

Dawn, Serena, and Sherry giggled, watching this as the Fennekin girl looked at both Dawn and Sherry. "So, do you see how better this is?" Serena asked with a giggle.

"Maybe, but right now, Serena, I don't care," Sherry said, watching both May and Ash as they continued to kiss the others. "I only want Ash to mate with me and for us to be together."

Dawn nodded as she wished May would hurry up. "I know, Sherry. I want it to be my turn," Dawn said as she looked at Serena as she giggled. "And to think we wanted to fight this."

Once Dawn said this, she locked lips with Serena, and then pulled away before kissing Sherry as well. The three hybrid girls moaned as they kissed each other as they wanted to show their affection to the other and for Ash.

Outside the room, Lillie kept watching while also thinking if she should walk in on them. "I hope they won't mind," Lillie said with a whisper, thinking that they would kill her.

Lillie looked back into the room as she watched with awe that Ash was now mating with the Eevee girl called May. "Ahh, Ash, yes, faster, harder, don't stop!" May cried out as Ash was now having sex with her.

Dawn and Sherry smiled, seeing this as they both moved closer before joining in sucking and playing with the Eevee girl's breasts. "Hmm, nice breasts May," Dawn giggled as she sucked on them.

Sherry nodded as she looked at the face her sister mate was making, hoping to get her chance with Ash, but for now, she would help Dawn in making May feel amazing.

Serena smiled as she hugged Ash from behind happy that the three had given in at last and are no longer trying to fight it, as she pulled Ash into a deep and heated kiss. "Don't worry, Sherry. You'll get your chance with Ash."

Sherry smiled at this, and so did Dawn both wanted this chance and knew that they are not alone as the three girls all looked towards the door. "Maybe she should join us," Dawn said with a whisper as she watched to both May and Ash with happiness.

Ash could tell that there was someone at the door as well, but right now, he didn't fancy leaving since he wanted to keep having sex with May until she was pregnant. "Argh, May..." Ash moaned, pulling the Eevee girl closer.

Serena, Dawn, and Sherry moved away from the two knowing that needed to deal with the little spy watching them. "Ahh oh yes Ash, please don't stop keep going I want more!" May cried out, watching the others and hoping it was Misty so she could join their family at long last. "Please let it be Misty girls, and I know you want her to Ash?"

Ash nodded with a smile on his face. "I do May, but first, I need to make sure that this time you get pregnant with our offspring," Ash said as he pulled May closer before kissing the Eevee girl.

Smiling May nodded at this while also looking at the door. "Yes, Ash, I want to have Eevee babies with you," the Eevee girl cried out as she pulled Ash closer to her before kissing each other once again.

The two soon shared a kiss as they moaned into each other, while the other three opened the door seeing an Alolan Vulpix hybrid standing there looking at the three girls. "Um, hi there, girls my name is Lillie."

'Is this true?'

Glaceon and Bunneary were surprised hearing this from Pikachu as they thought it was some kind of a joke given how Ash never really has taken an interest in girls, then again, the male Mouse Pokémon was dead serious on the matter. 'It's true, I mean Ash always thought about Misty ever since parting ways with her and Brock after the Johto League. That and when he saw her again during Hoenn and later on before Ash decided to take on the Battle Frontier in Kanto' explained Pikachu knowing that Ash and Misty loved each other with all their heart, they were too stubborn to admit it.

The two female Pokémon with him remained silent, as the more they thought about it, the more it was starting to make sense. Then again, they're the only ones to know this given how the rest of the Pokémon with them was currently fast asleep the whole time. 'I had no idea…' commented Glaceon, all while lowering her head in shame.

'Me neither' added Bunneary although this was her first time learning about Misty in general same with Glaceon. Despite the fact, the female Ice-Type Eeveelution never really mentioned the Tomboyish Mermaid, let alone May's two encounters with her at all during the brown-haired girl's visit to the Sinnoh region during the events of the Wallace Cup. 'I mean, Dawn never knew about Misty.'

'I guess that might've slipped Ash, May and Brock's minds during Sinnoh and in Ash's case, during Unova as well' Pikachu replied to both female Pokémon, knowing how forgetful his trainer tends to be regardless of which region they're in currently. 'It's the first time Ash hasn't mentioned something to someone, then again Gary never brought Misty up either… yes, I also forgot to do so myself, so I'm ultimately no better.'

Neither Glaceon nor Bunneary said a single word, especially as they never expected Ash to have a girl on his mind and how said girl helped him become the trainer he was right now. 'Now that I think about it, doesn't May have a relationship with Drew ever since May left to take on the Johto Contests?' Pikachu then asked Glaceon specifically as he would've thought Drew and May were already dating one another following parting ways with Ash before the young man decided to head for Sinnoh. Granted, Pikachu never asked this at Sinnoh, given the Wallace Cup was happening and even Jessie, James, and Meowth causing trouble for them beforehand.

'Actually no, sure mama keeps in touch with him from time to time, she assured me that they weren't dating at all' said Glaceon as she never took too much thought about them dating. Thinking about the conversations that Drew and May had whenever they met up and never once did it involve her preparing for a date with him. 'You know, I might have to ask her sometime once this was all over.'

'Good idea, besides what makes you think that she's not just saying it to hide the fact she was dating him without you or the other Pokémon with her knowing about it?'

'Come on, Bunneary! I trust my mama's judgment!' yelled Glaceon with her cheeks flushing as she glared at the female Normal-Type from Sinnoh, and Pikachu frowned. He was hoping that it would lead to a fight between the two Pokémon as he hadn't forgotten the rivalry Ash's Snivy had with Iris' Emolga. 'Now that I think about it, does Dawn have someone she's dating?'

'You know, now that I think about it… no, even though Dawn was childhood friends with Kenny' Bunneary replied to her friend with a slight huff. 'Then again, I would've thought Dawn would've gotten a boyfriend following Sinnoh or even following the Pokémon World Tournament Junior Cup in Unova.'

Pikachu got between both female Pokémon as he knew that they had a lot more to worry about than just another fight between friends pretty much, making him think of the arguments that Ash and Misty had back in the day. 'Okay, I get that your respective trainers don't have a boyfriend, but can we focus on the bigger picture here?' he tried to change the topic in hopes of preventing the fight.

'Fine…'

Hearing this made Pikachu somewhat relieved. After all, he didn't want to have to use his Thunderbolt to shock the two female Pokémon. 'Thank Arceus…' he muttered to himself, and he wondered how they're going to find their respective trainers, even more so May and Dawn, given how there's going to be more trouble looking for them than it would be looking for Ash or Serena. 'You know, Bulbasaur was pretty upset the moment he learned after Ash, and I returned to Pallet Town after the Sinnoh League about May's Bulbasaur has fully evolved into a Venusaur.'

'Wait, what?' asked Glaceon as she and Bunneary looked at Pikachu in disbelief, both female Pokémon never expected to hear the news about Ash's Bulbasaur. Part of them thought he would be happy for May's Bulbasaur having become a Venusaur. However, this news was something they weren't sure how to respond to right now. Then again, while Bunneary never met Ash's Bulbasaur, she had learned of him at one point, and the revelation was still something she wasn't expecting to hear. 'I would've expected him to be happy for Mama's Bulbasaur to become a Venusaur.'

' Yeah, what exactly would make him upset over this?' added Bunneary, except she was starting to suspect there might've been much more to Bulbasaur not being happy about May's Venusaur having evolved from the Bulbasaur that she used to be. Then something clicked into the back of her mind, and she looked at Pikachu as she thought about what she wanted to say. 'Wait a minute you two did Ash's Bulbasaur like May's Venusaur when she was a Bulbasaur?'

The remark made Glaceon and Pikachu surprised to hear the news, although neither of them thought about that as they were busy with other things the whole time. 'You know, I've never noticed this, to be honest… then again, there's something else you should know' he started speaking to both Bunneary and Glaceon as it also involved another reason to how saddened Bulbasaur was since learning of Venusaur's evolution. 'I never mentioned this before, but Bulbasaur had a chance to evolve in the latter portion of Ash's journey through Kanto… more specifically to Cinnabar Island for his seven Gym Badge when he participated in the Indigo League. In the end, Bulbasaur chose not to go through with it, and even when a group of wild Bulbasaurs took him to their Venusaur master and said group evolved into Ivysaurs.'

Both Glaceon and Bunneary were even more at a loss for words than ever, although the latter was reminded somewhat of the time Piplup chose not to evolve into a Prinplup back in Sinnoh. 'Oh my… I-I didn't know,' muttered the female Ice-Type Eeveelution with a frown on her face. After all, she never expected to learn about Pokémon having chosen not to evolve at all and especially since none of May's Pokémon, herself included, had that problem at all.

'Me neither, and here I thought Piplup was the only one who wanted to stay the way he was,' said Bunneary, glancing at Glaceon and Pikachu as memories of Dawn and her Piplup. 'Guess you learn something new every day, huh? Oh yeah, I remember how you didn't want to become a Raichu after you lost to Sho's Raichu earlier in Sinnoh.'

Glaceon soon immediately turned her attention towards Pikachu. 'Is this true?' she asked him, to which he slowly nodded his head to confirm that Bunneary was right. 'W-Why didn't you tell me?'

'I thought it wasn't that important, besides… there was also the fact I was given that chance before following my initial loss against Lt. Surge in the early going of Ash's journey in Kanto, and I ultimately didn't go through with that either.'

However, it didn't take long before Pikachu noticed Glaceon dropping to her knees, and he became worried when he saw that. 'Glaceon!' he yelled, running up to the female Ice-Type to make sure nothing terrible was happening to her… the male Electric-Type had already lost his trainer, plus, he didn't want another friend to suffer at a time like this. 'Are you okay?'

'I'm fine, just a little tired, that's all…' she said to assure Pikachu that she'll be okay, even though he didn't appear to be convinced as he could tell there was something wrong with her and didn't know how to help her. After all, there's no sign of a Pokémon Center or anyone who could help them, and even if they did, the humans would possibly already change and fully transformed into Pokémon Hybrids. 'Nothing to worry about, I'll be alright…'

Pikachu was still worried for Glaceon, but he had to trust she was okay, and Pikachu hoped that it wasn't anything terrible happening, Pikachu also was thinking what they would do if they found their trainers.

'Pikachu, what's the matter?' Glaceon asked, knowing and feeling that something was bothering him.

Bunneary was worried as well seeing the one she loved like this and hoped it wasn't anything either until she knew what he was thinking about, their trainers. 'I'm worried, too, Pikachu.'

Pikachu nodded as none of them knew how Ash and the other are doing right now, but if they are infected, then. Pikachu stopped thinking like this knowing it wasn't going to do them any good thinking like this. 'Yeah, your both right, I mean, it's just...' Pikachu began until the three heard something.

The three Pokémon looked to in the direction it came from ready to fight whoever it was, as they looked at the trees ahead of them they soon saw who it was. Misty, and she was holding her shoulder with blood coming out from the wound, and they could tell she was infected.

Pikachu looked on in horror seeing this happening to Misty. 'Oh no, Misty, she's infected...' Pikachu said, looking at the girl as she fell to the ground and screamed in pain as her transformation soon started, with Pikachu helpless to watch it happen.

A/N Okay, this we have reached the end of another chapter, and yes, Misty and Anabel were infected. Now I was going to show what happened, but I felt that would be pushing it.

The next chapter will show Misty transformation and what happened to both her and Anabel. But as you also saw, it seems Ash, Dawn, and Sherry have given in to their desires, or can they fight it. That's something you're also going to need to wait for too sadly, but yes Lillie joined them as well. And more girls will join later in Ash's harem.

I knew she would become an Alolan Vulpix as well as it was more fitting as well, and yes, I know many will ask this all the girls will get pregnant.

Anyway sorry, this chapter took so long to come out, life has been crazy, but I once again would like to thank everyone for reading this story and reviewing it. So, I'll see you all next time, everyone.
