Disclaimer: I own nothing from the Pokémon franchise, whether it's the games, the anime, or even the Pokémon Adventures Manga. Okay, I feel that some of you are probably curious about why I added Hilda from the games, Pokémon Black and White, despite her not being in the anime adaptation at all. Well, I felt she needed, including she would've made for a far better female companion than Iris did (even though I am aware that Iris' counterpart from the games and also the Pokémon Adventures Manga are better than her anime counterpart). As for how Misty and Anabel got infected, you're going to have to read and see for yourself.

Speaking of the anime, Ash now has a Riolu as part of his team and about damn time too; also, I was surprised that Mimey is Ash's Pokémon and that a Kangaskhan raised Pikachu while he was still a Pichu. As for if I'll include anything from the new anime, most likely not, but I do have plans for the latter events to come in this story.

I'm not sure if I'll be adding the whole revelation of Pikachu having been Kangaskhan as a Pichu or if he'll mention it to the others with him since the Sword and Shield anime is still relatively new at this moment.

Chapter 13: Misty's painful change

A slender and slightly tall young girl with tan skin, long green hair kept in two tree-shaped twin-tails, and light green eyes. Her most noticeable feature was the fake pink flower in her hair, which she held in place with green vine-like straps. Clothing-wise, she wore a pink tank top, light gray overalls with spiky white frills, a white clover-shaped mark on the waist, and a berry-storing pouch above the bust and green and white shoes with small dark green bows.

She also kept a golden clover-shaped badge on her waist just above the white clover-shaped mark. "I can't believe I got separated from my dad and also my brother," she said to herself, worried about her family members whom she got separated from not too long ago.

With a sigh, she knew that she needed to find a place to stay and hopefully remain safe in case her father and brother got infected by this damned virus. "Mom, I wish you were here right now… I don't know what to do…" she spoke very softly as she reflected on her mother.

Thinking back to her childhood, she remembered how as a toddler, she had a walk with her mother in a forest on Melemele Island in her home region of Alola after her mother had just gotten out of a hospital for an unspecified illness. During the walk, they encountered a wild Pokémon, which the green-haired girl found very cute. As such, her mother caught it and gave it to her as a gift. Instantly, the girl and the Pokémon in question became friends and partners. However, her mother became ill, making her mother return to the hospital.

The girl eventually grew tired of her mother's endless apologies about her condition and yelled that she hated her before running away. Soon after, her mother passed, which hurt both her father and older brother; it even had an impact on her. "If only I hadn't said those words…" she said to herself with tears starting to form in her eyes. "Maybe then she'd still be alive."

Speaking of the Pokémon, it soon popped out of her Poké Ball and revealed itself to be a small Pokémon resembling a mangosteen plant. Most of its body was pinkish-purple with a short, white skirt around its waist, which resembles the flesh of a mangosteen plant when it was cut open. It had beady yellow eyes and two tiny legs. On top of its head was a green calyx. This structure consisted of four leafy green formations and a short stem.

'Is something wrong, Mallow?'

The girl known as Mallow turned her attention towards her Pokémon, and she gave a light smile before kneeling towards it. "It's nothing, Bounsweet," she said to the small Pokémon that was now by her side and patted it on the head. "I'm just a bit worried about my father and my brother Ulu… then there's grandpa since he's still in Alola looking after the restaurant while we're gone. Then there's Lana and her parents as well."

The Pokémon known as Bounsweet glanced at her trainer, she knew that she could not help but feel worried about her family and friends from Alola. 'I'm sure they'll be fine,' she assured Mallow with a reassuring smile on her face and especially as she remembered how Mallow's friend Lana was a capable trainer herself despite learning herself. 'I mean, they know to immediately stay in a safe place to avoid the infection, whether it is from the virus or those already transformed into hybrids.'

"I know that…" said Mallow, although she was grateful for those words, she still couldn't get over having been separated from her father and brother when they were attacked by a small group of hybrids not too long ago. The whole event ended up reminding her about the day her mother died from her illness all over again, and she could not stand the thought of losing any more members of her family. "But what if something did happen and they become victims themselves… then what?"

Knowing this started making Bounsweet frown, showing even more concern than ever at how things turned out, especially as she wasn't sure if she alone would be able to keep her trainer safe during this whole ordeal she'd at least try. "Oh, I'm sorry…" she soon apologized to her Pokémon upon noticing the expression forming, which made her hope she didn't end up eventually making the same mistake she did with her mother all those years ago.

'Don't worry about it…' Bounsweet replied, doing what she can to assure her trainer that she's okay, but as when Mallow tried to hide her concern, she wasn't doing that good a job at it herself which in a way showed that the two have a lot in common with each other in many ways. 'You know if worse comes to it… I'll do what I can to hold off any hybrids while you escape. Besides, from what I can tell, I'm immune to the infection as is Ulu's Lickitung, and I'm sure he'd rather die than allow him or your father to become hybrids themselves.'

Mallow nodded with fear forming on her face. "Yeah, I know, but what if the infection starts affecting you, and you also make us become hybrids," Mallow said fear coming into her mind on this virus.

"Argh, it hurts!" Misty cried out in pain, holding onto her side, trying to fight off the transformation, her eyes fell on Pikachu. "Wait, is that..." Misty began, but another shot on pain entered her body.

'Misty!' Pikachu yelled, running over to her, seeing Misty fall to her knees and noticed the pain on her face. 'No, hold on, Misty!" Pikachu cried out in terror.

Misty couldn't help but open her eyes as she looked at Pikachu running over to her, and recognized it was her little buddy Pikachu, something that caused Misty to grin. "Hi Pikachu," Misty said, smiling before she screamed out in agony.

Pikachu and the others watched in horror as they saw what was happening to the young gym leader from Cerulean city. All three Pokémon could do nothing but watch seeing Misty's skin peeling off, noticing the blue scales forming.

Tears fell down Misty's face as she cried out in more pain as she began tearing her old fair pink skin off her body, something that was more painful than it looked as they saw her blood.

All three Pokémon watched as Misty began clawing at her arms tearing off her human skin, which also caused her to bleed. However, this was only the start as another jolt of pain erupted within the young girl.

The pain Misty felt was located near her feet as Misty didn't know what was causing it, but she took her shoes off, seeing her feet morphing into paws. The pain increased as Misty watched and cried, scratching at the skin, making her bleed.

Both Glaceon and Buneary watched on seeing more of Misty's fair skin peeling off, and Glaceon knew what Misty was changing into right now a Vaporeon. 'Will Misty be okay?' Glaceon heard Buneary ask with concern.

Neither Pikachu nor Glaceon said a word to Buneary as they are more concerned for Misty right now and the pain she was currently undergoing with her transformation. All they knew was that Misty was in incredible pain.

Misty continued to claw away at her skin while her face also began to shift into a muzzle. "Please make it stop!" Misty cried out from the pain. She wanted to sop, knowing that she was only causing more pain to her body, but Misty scratched away at her stomach, blood now covering her hands.

The young gym leader was in so much pain that she didn't even notice she felt her ear start to grow outwards and form into cream-colored fins as a third one started to push out from the top of her head, which caused her to cry out in pain.

Misty knew that she was lying in a pool of her skin and blood, and that's what she hated the most it was while knowing her transformation wasn't even close to ending. All Misty wanted is for it to be over already.

Misty looked at her body, seeing her skin was covered in blue scales now as she looked around, wondering what hybrid she changed into before another burst of pain happened.

Misty noticed she gained the white collar of a Vaporeon, while a long ridge of dark blue spines did begin to develop down her back. A tail started to push out of the girl's back as she moaned in pain, as she still had her clothes on her.

Misty face went red as she felt her short rip away from her newly grown tail, but Misty just sighed in a comfortable pleasure that her tail was now free from the pain.

The spines were continuing to grow atop the long limb that now wiggled away behind her. As a split tailfin developed at the very end, Misty let out a long, moan as her transformation finally finished. "About time," Misty said as she looked at her backpack and took out a mirror.

Pikachu stared at Misty before looking over to both Glaceon and Buneary, seeing they are concerned for Misty, hell he was feeling the same thing right now. 'Misty, are you okay?' Pikachu asked, knowing he needed to be careful.

Misty smiled, hearing Pikachu as she placed the mirror back in her bag as she looked at Pikachu and smiled. "Hey Pikachu, it's okay. I'm still me," Misty told her friend.

Hearing this, Pikachu ran into Misty's arms happy and grateful she's going to be okay. 'I was worried you'd end up like the others,' Pikachu told Misty, while the girl in question smiled.

"I'm okay. I still have my mind," Misty said, grinning she was getting closer to finding Ash, but that changed suddenly knowing and seeing what happened to a few others. "I guess I'm a Vaporeon now, huh?"

Pikachu nodded as both Buneary and Glaceon looked at the hybrid girl, both still worried she might turn on them, and view them as food. Pikachu also looked back at the two female Pokémon he was growing fonder of with each passing day. Nevertheless, Pikachu knew why they are worried about Misty right now. "Hey, look at me it's okay, Misty's fine."

Misty could tell they were worried, and thanks to what she's become, she can also sense and smell the fear both female Pokémon have for her too. "Pikachu's right, I won't hurt either of you," Misty told them both while smiling.

Both Glaceon and Buneary gazed at each other once more as Misty sat down, waiting for the two female Pokémon to come towards her showing she's not a threat. The two Pokémon moved over to Misty slowly and with caution, watching her face and saw she wasn't going to doing anything; they both smiled at each other.

"Okay, now we should find Ash if he's still human," Misty said, knowing in all luckily hood Ash was also hybrid. "Stupid male Vaporeon, I'll kick his ass for doing this."

Pikachu only looked at Misty, knowing her transformation wasn't pleasant from what he witnessed. 'Misty are you, okay? I mean, it looked like the change hurt you?"

Misty only smiled at Pikachu, hearing his concern. "I'm fine, Pikachu. I guess for us water hybrids, the transformation in more painful as we don't grow fur but scales."

Glaceon nodded happily, hearing that Misty was okay as she hated the pain that her mother's friend was in a short time ago. 'Well, at least we won't have to worry about anything else.'

"Yeah, at least there is that," Misty said while Pikachu noticed something was wrong, but this wasn't the time to ask such questions.

"Ahh, there you are my dear sexy mate," A voice cried out, it was one Misty knew that made her scowl with anger and deep hatred. "Oh, just look at you, my love," he said, moving closer and eyes Misty's new form.

"Guys, did you hear dat?"

Both Jessie and James turned towards Meowth, noticing him listening carefully to the noise coming from the far right. "Hear what?" wondered the purple-haired member of Team Rocket with an expression of confusion on his face. "I don't hear anything."

"It sounded like that orange-haired twerp we used to mess with when she traveled the other twerp, and his Pikachu," explained Meowth as he could have sworn, that he heard that voice before but couldn't put his finger onto it. "I highly doubt that my sensitive ears are playing tricks on me and at a time like this."

"Why do I have this feeling of déjà vu?" Jessie asked them sarcastically as she thought back to the time the trio were at the Pokémon Tower in Lavender Town and how they eventually ended up victims of the Ghost-Type Pokémon residing there. "Next thing you know, you're going to do the same thing you did to me last time; don't think I've forgotten!"

The male Scratch Cat scowled the moment Jessie reminded him of when he used his Scratch attack on her when he saw Gastly appear where her head usually was. "You aren't going to let that go, are you?" he asked with a frown on his face.

Before Jessie could say anything, Growlie sniffed something coming from the direction of the sound Meowth previously heard. "Huh?" James soon saw the expression on his Pokémon's face change to a hostile one as he soon started barking. "What's wrong, Growlie?"

'I smell a hybrid in the direction that the Scratch Cat heard the voice,' he explained to his master, although he had to admit that Meowth wasn't kidding about it possibly being familiar. 'Although the scent is extremely familiar as well, smells like the girl who was present when I dealt with Jessebelle and her Vileplume back at your mansion.'

"What no way!"

"See, didn't I tell you guys that it's not me simply hearing things!" Meowth informed his two human partners in crime, and he realized that the voice had to be Misty. On the other hand, there was a chance that she might be a hybrid now, but it's a risk they're going to take as finding her meant finding Ash, and they could use that as a chance to capture his Pikachu back to their boss. "Come on, you two, we better find her before those hybrids do!"

"Hey, wait up!" yelled Jessie, however her words were unheeded as she and James saw Meowth heading in the direction where he believed Misty would be with Growlie following close behind… although she started to wonder about a lot of things right now. "Remind me again why we are here when there's an outbreak like this going on?"

"It's our luck, always resulting in something bad happening," commented James with a shrug. However, he knew that he needed to make sure Growlie didn't get hurt or indeed killed as he still hadn't gotten over what happened to his parents and the fact they've got transformed into hybrids due to the virus. "Still, we need to keep an eye on him and Growlie as well."

"Hey, James!" yelled Jessie as she called out to her purple-haired partner in crime, and she started groaning in annoyance since she could put up with a lot of things, but this situation was the icing on the cake even to her. "Why am I always getting surrounded by a bunch of idiots?"

There was no one there to answer, although Wobbuffet suddenly popped out of his Poké Ball as if to annoy her further. "Wobbuffet!" he said.

She turned her attention towards the male Psychic-Type. "Who asked you anyway?" she said before recalling Wobbuffet and heading off in the direction her fellow Team Rocket members went off to as she didn't want to be alone while hybrids could strike at her in any moment. "Hey, wait up!"

As the trio left the scene, there was a pair of bright glowing eyes from within the bushes. "Soon, James, soon you're going to wish that you had married me when you had the chance," began a silent female voice in a southern belle-like tone as the eyes soon vanished without a trace.

It seems that Meowth was not the only one to hear the voice, Gary Oak and his Pokémon realized who it was themselves too. "No way is that Misty?" he asked in disbelief, wondering what was going on and could only hope she didn't get attacked by any hybrids while her guard was down. "Damn, I should've seen this coming."

As much as he wanted to continue searching for Ash, part of him wanted to assist Misty unaware that she too was now a hybrid herself. 'Wait, I hear something!' muttered Umbreon, and he tensed up the moment he spoke, which got the attention of Gary and Arcanine when he said that.

"Great… Just when we thought we didn't have enough to worry about."

Soon enough, a mammalian quadruped Pokémon soon appeared before the three. Its body was tan with dark brown paws. It had a multitude of small green sprouts growing all over its legs, chest, and back, with the longest one on its head, in front of four tan tufts of fur. The Pokémon's ears and tail were stylized to resemble tattered leaves. It also had brown eyes and a small, brown nose. 'Wait, is that an Eeveelution?' wondered Umbreon as he glanced at the newcomer that suddenly arrived. 'One that we've never seen before?'

Gary remained silent, glancing at the Pokémon they encountered despite being completely exposed to the infection, it didn't seem to be suffering from the same effects that humans had. "I wonder what Pokémon this is…" he said, about to reach for his Pokédex when a female voice called the name of the unknown Pokémon that stood before them.

"Leafeon!" arriving was a girl with short, orange-red hair styled in a similar way to Ash, brownish-red eyes and a dark magenta shirt under a light orange vest and pale blue jeans with black sunglasses above her hair. She wore red socks and brown boots with grey-brown laces. She also wore a small necklace around her neck and had a pink Poketch on her left wrist. She soon had relief on her face the moment the Pokémon quickly ran up towards her. "There you are, I was getting worried."

Gary and his own Pokémon were somewhat surprised at the sight of the initially unknown Pokémon's trainer, although he was at least grateful she wasn't a hybrid. "So that's her Pokémon, huh?" he said to himself, he had to admit this girl was pretty cute.

'I'm sorry for running off on you earlier, Zoey… but I smelled something nearby and wanted to see what it was' the Pokémon known as Leafeon was apologetic towards her trainer. 'I didn't expect it to be a Pokémon Trainer and two Pokémon, one of them being an Eeveelution itself.'

"Oh? Another Trainer and an Eeveelution?" wondered Zoey, she remembered how May had a Glaceon from when the Princess of Hoenn took part in the Wallace Cup all that time ago, and part of her hoped it would be her. However, it's not the case as she saw it was someone she had never seen before, and she noticed the Umbreon that was by his side. In a way, he looked pretty good looking maybe that must've been how Dawn felt when she first met Ash, or that's what she was assuming. "Glad I'm not the only one who managed to avoid becoming infected."

"Yeah, I was thinking the same thing," explained Gary, though he still had a bad feeling that something was happening to Misty and had no clue what it was. "Still, I wasn't expecting someone with an Eeveelution like me. Well, not exactly like me, but you know what I mean, right?"

"Yeah, then again, this is my second time seeing a trainer with one… the first being someone from the Hoenn region."

The moment he heard the Hoenn region, it made his eyes widen in surprise. "Wait, the Hoenn region?" he asked her in disbelief. "That's the region Ash went through when he decided to take part in the Hoenn League. Okay, sure he only made it to the Top 8 before losing like in the Johto League Silver Conference, but he is improving at the very least."

"Is that right?" Zoey asked out of curiosity, although she never expected this cute boy she met to actually know Ash personally or even having surprisingly heard about Hoenn, the region that May originated from and called home. "Wait a minute, you know, Ash?"

Gary nodded his head to confirm that it was true. "Of course, I know Ash, he and I came from Pallet Town, and we used to be rivals up until we faced each other at the Johto League," he said to the orange-haired girl from the Sinnoh region. "He beat me despite his Charizard having the disadvantage over my Blastoise. I since then decided to become a Pokémon Researcher like my grandfather."

Zoey was speechless, never in her life had she ever encountered someone who lived in the same hometown as Ash, but at the same time, she felt honored. "Oh yeah, we never got properly introduced now have we?" she soon realized that they hadn't introduced themselves despite the outbreak happening. "My name's Zoey. I came from Snowpoint City in the Sinnoh region."

"I'm Gary Oak from Pallet Town," said Gary, although Zoey mentioning the Sinnoh region did end up bringing back some memories of his encounter with Ash, Brock, and Dawn there. "How appropriate because I ran into Ash one time while I was in the Sinnoh region, even Brock and this new girl with them, Dawn."

Zoey smiled once hearing her best friend's name, but that smile quickly turned to a concerned one. "I'm afraid that Sawn might have become infected like the others."

Gary observed the look Zoey had, and he couldn't blame her since he was worried about his family. "Look, I know the feeling, my best friend since kids could also be a hybrid."

Zoey sighed; she hated this knowing her home region had become infected, but the many gym leaders why fighting and capturing the hybrids they encountered. "Yeah, I know I mean..." Zoey began, but she stopped.

"Yeah, and I think I heard Ash's girlfriend scream out, it wasn't that long ago," Gary said as Zoey looked at Gary, shocked to hear this and that Ash has a girlfriend.

"Okay, I didn't even know Ash had one," Zoey said, still surprised by the news Zoey knew that Dawn liked Ash in more than a friend. "I didn't know he had one."

Gary laughed at this knowing Zoey hadn't meet Misty before or even saw how the two interacted with each other. "Well, it might not seem it at first, but they do care about each other."

"They do?" Zoey asked she wanted to know more since this was a rival of love for Dawn, so she wanted to know more about this Misty girl.

"Well, you see the thing about that is..." Gary began wanting to find the right words on Ash and Misty's relationship. "Okay, it's complicated, but from what I remember, Brock and even others telling me well they hide their feelings."

Zoey was shocked hearing this and wasn't sure what to make of it, why didn't they tell the other how they felt. "Okay, but why?" Zoey asked she knew how Ash could get like, hell she remembers Dawn saying how stubborn Ash gets.

"I have no idea, but I know they do care deeply about each other," Gary said as he looked off in the direction the voice came from not that long ago. "All I know is I know I heard Misty."

"Then we should help her. What if she is getting attacked!" Zoey cried out in fear knowing the fate that would happen the girl.

Gary nodded, but he was worried what might have already happened to Misty, I mean Misty might be a hybrid already. "Yeah, you're right, so let's go and save her before it's too late."

With that said, the two trainers and their Pokémon began running in the direction they last heard Misty's scream, hoping that it wasn't too late for the young trainer.

"Oh my sexy mate, I'm happy I found you," the male Vaporeon said with glee looking at Misty and saw she still had some of her clothes on her. "It seems your still holding onto your human self."

Misty gave a scowl looking at her destroyed shorts and was thankful her top remained, and she didn't want this creep evening looking at her. "Yeah, right, I'm not going to be your mate, so get lost!"

The Vaporeon hybrid only laughed something that Pikachu and Glaceon didn't like hearing at all, while Buneary was frightened. All the male did was move closer to Misty as he looked around, almost looking for something else. "So, where is the other girl?"

Misty scowled at this, knowing that he was talking about Anabel, and it caused Misty to frown as she closed her eyes. "I have no idea after getting infected; I saw her change."

"Hmm, but I'll find her sooner or later, but right now, you're the one that I want," he said, moving a step closer as Misty looked at him, and so did Pikachu. "I know you can't fight it forever, so my love you might as well give in and join our new race."

Misty said nothing remembering the look in Anabel's eyes when changing, knowing she would end up like the girl sooner or later. "But why did I keep my mind and not Anabel?" Misty thought as it kept bothering her since seeing her new friend's transformation.

Pikachu was worried about seeing how Misty was right now, and he hoped nothing was wrong. 'Misty?" Pikachu asked as Misty looked down and smiled.

"Sorry I have someone I love, and I would rather be his mate than being your mate jerk face," Misty said, making Pikachu smile with pride, hearing Misty saying and admitting she loves Ash.

'Well, I think it was about time that you admitted that you loved him,' Pikachu said as he began laughing while Glaceon nodded agreeing with Pikachu.

'Yeah, I mean even my mother knows you two love each other,' Glaceon added as both noticed Misty blue face going red.

"Come on, you two stop teasing me, and I can't believe May told you," Misty said, feeling more embarrassed than before. "But can we talk about this after we deal with the creep," Misty said, still blushing about them teasing her.

The male Vaporeon, however, laughed hearing the name Ash. "Oh, I saw him wears some stupid hate on his head. I'm sorry to tell you this, my dear mate," the Vaporeon hybrid began. "But, it seems that he has taken two mates."

Misty was shocked to hear this knowing her worst fears were coming to pass Ash was a hybrid. "No, you're lying!" Misty yelled as she looked at the male Vaporeon with anger. "Ash's isn't a hybrid!"

The Vaporeon hybrid smiled, looking at Misty as she was standing to her feet, and he can sense the rage inside her. "I know it's hard to think about, but it seems that he was happy with the girl Dawn I think her name was."

Buneary, hearing her trainer's name, was shocked, but she knew she needed to watch out since it could be anyone. "How do I know you're even telling the truth?" Misty asked, not going to buy this trick.

"I heard the girl call her Ash while transforming into her new and better life," he told Misty smiling as he looked around. "He had a Pachirisu girl with him too. So forget that fool become my mate."

Misty said nothing as she hung her head low, while Pikachu looked at Misty with fear. 'No, Misty, don't listen to him. I know Ash loves you!' Pikachu cried out, shaking her leg.

The male Vaporeon looked at Pikachu with anger as he rushed over and gave a hard Tackle. "Shut up, you yellow rat. I'm talking to my mate, so stay the hell out of this!"

'No, Pikachu!' Buneary and Glaceon cried out, seeing Pikachu got genuinely hurt from the attack.

"You know what I'm going to kill all three of you," the hybrid said, licking his lips in hunger. "After all, I'm feeling hungry right now," he said with a crazy smile, looking at the three.

"No, I can't let him, think Misty what should I do," Misty thought as she needed a plan to stop this monster. "Wait, Stop!" Misty cried out, knowing there was one thing that she could do but was going to hate it. "Why even bother with them," Misty said in a seductive tone while smiling.

Hearing this made Pikachu, Glaceon, and Buneary all shocked when they saw what was happening, wondering if the Tomboyish Mermaid had indeed fully succumbed to the transformation. "Oh?" the male Vaporeon hybrid asked, somewhat surprised by this sudden change of tone… not that he was complaining or anything. "So, you've finally come to your senses, huh?"

"That's right…" began Misty, slowly approaching the male Vaporeon hybrid, which made the others even more shocked than ever before as it seemed there might be no hope for them now. "You know, I've never realized how incredibly handsome you are."

It was then that the male Vaporeon started to give in to his lust while looking and believing that Misty has finally started seeing what it was like to be a hybrid like him. "I see, now then… my beloved mate…" he began to look as the Tomboyish Mermaid swayed her hips while coming to his side. "Tell me more about myself."

"You're… tall and blue…"

The three Pokémon could do nothing but watch as the two Vaporeon hybrids started cuddling up to one another. 'This is going to break Ash's heart when he hears about this…' was the only thing on Pikachu's mind, having hoped that in some form or another… Ash and Misty would finally end up together but didn't seem to be the case now.

His cheeks starting to spark up the more he thought about it, and he wanted to do something, even if it meant hurting Misty in the ensuring process. 'Pikachu, you can't…' began Glaceon with concern on her face as she realized what the male Mouse Pokémon was intending to do ever since they started witnessing Misty flirting with the Vaporeon Hybrid that showed up.

'I'm sorry, I have no choice…' he told Glaceon and tried to take a step but winced, causing him to kneel back down. It was clear that the Vaporeon Hybrid's Tackle did a real number on him, much more than when Giovanni's Persian used Power Gem to defeat him in their battle back in the Unova Region. 'If Ash were here, he'd understand it is for the best.'

'Yes, but right now Ash isn't here…' reminded Buneary, having to make Pikachu understand that his trainer wasn't by his side at this time and more so as there wasn't much they could do now. 'If he were, he wouldn't agree with you continuing to fight while being injured.'

Misty could hear the fear in the others, but she needed to act like this for just a little longer. "Hmm, I know I mean I feel so much sexier like this," Misty said before she giggled. "I'm thrilled that infected me."

The Vaporeon male smirked hearing this while moving closer to his future mate, but he noticed that she was still wearing the last pieces from her old life. "Okay, but it seems that you still have your human clothes on," he said, now frowning.

Misty didn't like this, knowing that she still needed to act like she gave in and loved becoming a hybrid. "Damn, I need a weapon or something," Misty thought as she spotted a rock. "Aww, I was hoping you could rip it off me. No fun if I have to do it myself."

The male hybrid gave a lustful growl when Misty said this and then grabbing her arm and pulling Misty closer. "Ahh, you're turning me on my mate," he said, growing once more.

Misty couldn't help but smirk when she heard this knowing he was letting his guard down. "Hmm, I think I need to see how good you are," Misty said, looking at the Vaporeon male. "I mean, I want my young to be strong and powerful."

The next thing Misty heard was a laugh from the male hybrid as he pushed her to the ground ripping off her shirt. "Hmm, your breasts have grown as well."

Misty looked at her breasts, and she saw the Vaporeon hybrid was correct; her breasts had grown a lot bigger. Misty would have laughed at the irony, remembering all the times her sisters mocked her small chest size. "I wonder how big they've become?" Misty thought, but knew now wasn't the time.

'Misty...!' Pikachu cried out, seeing this happening. 'Remember Ash, Misty, and I know that you love him!' Pikachu yelled once more, and Misty hated she had to act like this.

"I'm sorry, Pikachu, but just wait a little longer, please," Misty thought as she saw the rock she needed, "Okay, knock this fool out, then we help the others."

However, Misty heard the male Vaporeon scowl with anger at Pikachu, looking at the yellow mouse with murder in his brown eyes. "You again, I told you once this is my mate, not that loser!" he yelled in rage at Pikachu before laughing.

Glaceon and Buneary didn't like the sound of this; they both knew that to the hybrids, they were nothing more than food. 'Pikachu, we need to run; they will eat us, please!' Buneary cried with tears in her eyes.

"Oh yes, please do run, that way our hunt will become that much better and more fun too," the male Vaporeon told the three Pokémon. "It would be boring if you didn't run, isn't that right, my beautiful..."

Before he could finish the three Pokémon watched in shock as Misty smashed a rock on the Vaporeon's head, knocking him off her. 'Misty!' Pikachu cried out, shocked, seeing this.

"What was that!" The hybrid yelled in anger as Misty looked at her attacker with the same look that she had as a human. "You still have your human mind, don't you?"

Misty said nothing to the Vaporeon hybrid other than stand in front of the three Pokémon belonging to her friends. "Yeah, I still have my human mind," Misty said, smirking.

"No, how still think like a weak human? You're supposed to be mine!" he yelled with anger in his voice. "How is it you still have your mind?"

Misty shrugged at this as she didn't know either. "I have no idea. Maybe not everyone loses their mind, but right now, I don't care!" Misty cried out with anger.

"Then I need to make sure you lose your human mind just like the other girl lost her mind," the Vaporeon hybrid said with a scowl.

"I'll find Anabel, and I will help her," Misty said with determination in her voice as she glanced back to the three Pokémon.

"I won't stop, you know I'll keep coming for you, or maybe I should kill this Ash, then you will have nothing else left. And then you'll be my mate!" the male hybrid cried out with rage a blood lust.

Misty and the three Pokémon didn't like this, and there was no way Misty was going to let this freak hurt Ash. "He wants to hurt our mate, don't let him," a voice called out within Misty's head. "You need to kill him before that moron kills our Ash."

Misty hearing this voice began looking around wonder who said that before she remembered that Anabel said she heard the same then when she was changing.

Seeing that Misty was distracted, the male Vaporeon took this opportunity to attack his mate. Pikachu, however, spotted this and knew he needed to warn Misty. 'Misty watch out!'

Hearing Pikachu crying out to her, Misty looked over now, seeing the male hybrid charging towards her. "Shit!" Misty cried out as she didn't have time to move out the way.

Tackled to the ground, Misty looked into the mad eyes of the male Vaporeon hybrid and knew she was in trouble. "I will have you, I will!" he cried out in madness.

"I need to get out of this," Misty thought as she used the same rock from before smashing the hybrid on the face.

Once the Vaporeon hybrid fell off, her Misty could see the blood on his face, as she gasped but knew she had to end this as she saw his eyes open. "NO!" Misty cried out before smashing the rock on the male hybrid once again.

'Misty...' Pikachu said with a whisper while watching as Misty repeated, hitting the Vaporeon hybrid on the head, not stopping. As the three Pokémon watched the male Vaporeon getting his skull bashed in, and Misty wasn't stopping.

The body of the male Vaporeon twitched as his head was smashed entirely in while Misty's face and hands were now covered in blood while taking deep breaths. "I just killed someone."

'Misty you had to, you saw what he was like,' Pikachu said, moving over to Misty and saw that she was still looking at her hands. 'How did you get infected, Misty?' Pikachu asked as Misty glanced over to Pikachu and frowned.

Glaceon and Buneary glanced at Misty, as they wanted to know the whole story about what transpired, leading to Misty becoming what she was right now. 'We'd like to know too if you please' began the female Fresh Snow Pokémon with concern forming on her face. 'Also, you mentioned Anabel, someone whom mama met back when Ash faced the Battle Frontier after all.'

Misty remained silent for a moment, thinking back to when she and Anabel had tried to take out the male Vaporeon hybrid. "It's a long story, so you'd best be prepared to hear everything that I have to say," she told the three Pokémon in question as she started to inform them about the moment she and Anabel were infected when trying to use their traps not too long ago.

Flashback

Anabel cut another rope, which set another log towards the male Vaporeon. However, unlike the last one, this had spikes around it, something Anabel hopes will work. "Please work," she whispered. "This has to work."

The male hybrid watched the spiked log headed right to him still hurt from the last trap they used. "I won't let them win I shall bite and infect them," he thought before scowling.

Before he knew it, the spiked log hit him in the side, as the male Vaporeon cried out before looking at the cut on his side. "Okay, let's finish him off," Anabel said as he looked up, hearing the girl speaking.

Espeon nodded at her trainer, knowing that they would need to end this knowing this hybrid would keep going after them. 'Your right Anabel,' Anabel's Espeon said while Misty looked at them.

"I agree he won't stop chasing me, so we have no options left," Misty said, looking at Anabel and Espeon, but she wasn't sure what they should do after that. "We still need to find..." Misty began as she saw the Vaporeon hybrid standing back to his feet.

"You won't kill me no!" he cried out in pain, looking at all three knowing what to do next as a smile formed on his face. "Yes, I know what to do soon you will both become my mates,"

Anabel frowned, hearing this as she looked at Misty, knowing that she was going to make sure Misty got out of it if it comes to it. "Misty, we might need to run," Anabel said with a whisper in her voice. "And if that happens no matter what, if either of us gets bitten, we need to keep running."

Misty's eyes only widened as she heard this from Anabel and looked at the girl in shock. "What we are not leaving each other," Misty told Anabel while her attention turned back to the hybrid wanting to infect them.

"I know that, but..." Anabel began as she soon heard the cry of pain from her Espoen as Ansbel turned to see the Vaporeon hybrid bite her Pokemon's leg. "No, get off Espeon!"

"Anabel stop, we don't..." Misty said, trying to warn Anabel, but it was too late as her Pokemon bite Anabel on the hand. "No, Anabel!"

Anabel gasped in shock as she looked at her Pokemon, as she soon tried pulling away, but Espoen wasn't letting go as she could hear the feral growls coming from Espeon.

"Anabel, just hold on I'm coming," Misty cried out, running over to help her Anabel.

Anabel looked at her Pokemon with sadness forming in her eyes, knowing that what she needed to do was something she didn't like. So, Anabel knew she had to hit her Pokemon three times until Espeon let Anabel go and ran off only giving her trainer a feral growl.

Anabel looked at her arm, and she knew what this could mean, as she looked over and saw Misty running over to her. "Don't Misty," Anabel said in pain as she looked at her arm, seeing it was growing purple fur on her arm. "Misty, I'm already infected," Anabel warning her, knowing that Misty needed to run.

"But Anabel," Misty said, looking at her but saw the look in her eyes, and Misty knew that Anabel was right. "Okay, I'm sorry, Anabel," Misty told her before running into the woods.

"Hmm, good now you stay here, mate while I'll go and get Misty, and then the three of us will all become lovers," The Vaporeon hybrid said as he looked at Anabel with a smirk.

Anabel said nothing looking up at the one that did this as she scowled. "Why don't you go fuck yourself," she said with anger before she cried out in pain.

However, the hybrid only laughed hearing this as he looked towards the direction Misty ran in and smiled. "Well, you keep thinking that, but I will be back soon for you, along with Misty," he told Anabel before heading off and leaving Anabel to change.

Misty meanwhile kept running as she had tears in her eyes. "I shouldn't have left Anabel alone like that," Misty said with a whisper looking back in the direction she came from, and where Anabel still was too.

Hearing the snapping of a tree branch, Misty looked to see where it came from feeling the beating of her heart. "Where are you?" Misty said before getting tackled to the ground by the hybrid that wanted her.

"At last I have you," the Vaporeon hybrid said with merriment as he looked down at Misty.

"I will never be your mate," Misty said with anger as the hybrid only laughed at her before biting Misty on her shoulder.

"I think that will change in time, my love," he said, looking down at Misty smiling at the girl that will become his mate, Misty noticed that he was also distracted and kicked him in the balls.

Screaming in pain, Misty pushed the hybrid off her body before looking at her shoulder, knowing what this meant. "I need to get away," Misty thought as she frowned before she began running in any direction her legs would take her.

End of Flashback

Hearing the news made Pikachu Glaceon, and Buneary were all completely speechless upon finding out when Misty and Anabel were infected. At the same time, they were worried about Ash even since hearing about Ash becoming infected. 'Oh my god…' Pikachu muttered as the Mouse Pokémon despite his injuries from the male Vaporeon hybrid's Tackle attack from earlier and winced every time he moved.

"Pikachu, you shouldn't be moving around… especially not in your condition."

'I know that, but right now, if Ash has fallen victim to the infection. Then we need to find him now!' he said to the Tomboyish Mermaid, starting to remembering when they were separated from their respective trainers when they first ended up on that island with the giant robotic Pokémon. Pikachu hated that he kept on getting separated from Ash, but they all ultimately ended up leading reunited with one another in the end. 'Besides, what's to say he isn't looking for me right now?'

Misty could tell that Ash's stubbornness was starting to rub off on Pikachu, something that truly worried her since he could get himself killed by not getting any much-needed rest. "No, that Tackle attack did some real damage to you…" she said to the male Mouse Pokémon. "I doubt Ash would want to see you in that condition. Besides, did you forget when you got injured by that wild Goldeen on the way to Vermillion City or when you got injured before Ash stealing my bike to save you from the flock of wild Spearows on the day we first met or even when Team Rocket injured you to get Mewtwo?"

Hearing this caused Pikachu to stop and think, reflecting on those moments in question. 'You had to bring that up, didn't you?' he said with a frown on his face.

Hearing the name Mewtwo made both Glaceon and Buneary surprised, especially as it was something Ash never brought up to them or even to May nor Dawn for the matter. Yet, Misty and Pikachu seem to be familiar with it. 'Wait, who or what is Mewtwo?' the female Fresh Snow Pokémon asked of the female Vaporeon hybrid all while frowning.

"I don't honestly want to talk about it," Misty replied to Glaceon, knowing that it's better if she and Buneary not know about Mewtwo. Since he and his friends from Johto had long since left to find a new home, they felt that their existence never became public.

'Why not?'

'Yeah, I mean, we have some breathing room right now,' added Buneary as she glanced at Misty and Pikachu, the two females hoped to find out more on what their friends were talking about after all. 'Okay, while I don't agree with Pikachu wanting to go search for Ash in his condition, it would be good for you to tell us this Mewtwo. Maybe there could be a way to get some help from him.'

'You also mentioned something about Ash stealing your bike to save Pikachu from a flock of wild Spearow's on the day you met,' Glaceon soon spoke again. As both she and Buneary thought their respective trainers had their bikes destroyed by Pikachu, albeit by accident, but never did they hear about his trainer having stolen Misty's. 'So was it destroyed by Pikachu's electricity like mama's bike?'

'Your mother's bike got destroyed?' Buneary asked Glaceon, even more, surprised than ever at the news.

Glaceon nodded her head. 'Yes, it was on the day mama went to Littleroot Town from Petalburg City to receive her starter from Professor Birch and become a Pokémon Trainer,' she explained to the female Normal-Type. 'That's pretty much how she met Ash and Pikachu.'

'Seems our trainers have a lot more in common than we realize when it comes to Ash' said Buneary as she thought back to a conversation she had with Dawn before the bluenette deciding to head to the Unova region. 'After all, Dawn's bike was destroyed when she was starting as a Pokémon Trainer herself… Yeah, she met Ash and Pikachu in the ensuring process as well.'

The Fresh Snow Pokémon was left surprised at the reveal. 'No way, is this true?' she asked, all while Buneary nodded her head with a smile forming on her face.

'Yep, every word of it…' she replied to Glaceon as she felt in some way, their trainers meeting Ash and Pikachu was ultimately no coincidence if those meetings involved bikes getting destroyed. 'I wonder if they met Iris the same way they met May, Dawn, and even Misty.'

'Don't forget that other girl Serena, who I remember Pikachu mentioning' said Glaceon, reflecting on when Pikachu, Mamoswine, and Piplup told her of Iris, Cilan, Serena, Clemont and Bonne… the latter three whom even Dawn's Pokémon had no idea about until Pikachu mentioned them. Then again, she was still surprised to hear about Unova, the Decolore Islands, and Kalos, much like how Dawn's Pokémon had no idea that the latter two regions were even a thing. 'To be honest, I'm not sure if that's the case or not.'

Soon Pikachu decided to speak. 'Actually no, with Iris… Ash thought that she was a Pokémon and tried to catch her with a Poké Ball when the two of us were starting our journey in Unova proper. With Serena, she didn't join with us, Clemont and Bonnie, until Ash's first attempt in facing Viola, which didn't go well. Serena eventually was invited to come along for the journey through Kalos after Ash won his rematch against Alexa's younger sister,' he explained to the two female Pokémon in question. 'If I'm honest, I ended up directly shocking Iris in Unova and even Clemont's little sister Bonnie in Kalos… yeah, I know it sounds harsh, and I honestly don't want to talk about it.'

The two female Pokémon remained silent for a brief moment, taking in what Pikachu was telling them concerning Iris, Serena, and even Bonnie. 'Guess that clears that up' began Buneary before deciding to return to the subject at hand. 'Now about this Mewtwo, what was it like?'

Both Misty and Pikachu didn't say a word, knowing that mentioning Mewtwo's name wasn't such a good idea. Then again, Misty was even more surprised to learn that her bike wasn't the only one to get destroyed by Pikachu, although her bike got repaired eventually and restored to its former glory. "It seems Ash can't meet a girl without first destroying her bike, can he?" she thought to herself, but then Glaceon suddenly felt pain in her body again. "What's wrong?" she asked the female Ice-Type Eeveelution, becoming even more worried than ever as she didn't see any injuries on May's Pokémon at all yet there seemed to be something wrong with her for some strange reason.

The male Electric-Type had a feeling he knew what it was slowly approaching Glaceon, as did Dawn's Buneary. 'Not again…' he muttered upon getting to the Fresh Snow Pokémon, all while Misty became confused by what Pikachu was talking about when he said those words.

It didn't take long before she decided to speak to the raven-haired young man's signature Pokémon to see if she could help. "What do you mean again?" she asked with concern in her voice, although she had heard that Pokémon were immune to the infection before leaving the Cerulean City Gym. "Did this happen before?"

All Pikachu did was nod his head, thinking back to the moment it happened before and especially before finding Misty transforming into a hybrid. 'Yes, it was before we found you not too long ago,' he explained to the Tomboyish Mermaid with a frown, fearing that there might be something wrong with Glaceon, and he couldn't figure out what or how to help her. 'She said she was a little tired, but I'm starting to suspect that it actually might not be the case now.'

Misty remained utterly silent, wishing there was something she could do, but she didn't bring any healing items with her…. It was one thing for Pikachu to be injured, but for Glaceon to be in a condition without any means of help, it didn't help matters either, nor was the revelation of Ash having become a hybrid himself.

'Glaceon, please… it's going to be okay' he did his best to assure the Fresh Snow Pokémon, thinking of a possible idea that could help ease the pain a little despite him getting hurt earlier on.

There was nothing but complete silence coming from Glaceon before she suddenly found herself kissing Pikachu intensely much to not only his shock but also Misty and Buneary. "Glaceon!" began the Tomboyish Mermaid, wondering what's has gotten into her… all while Pikachu was left even more speechless upon being kissed by the Ice-Type Eeveelution without any warning.

Pikachu was just as shocked when it happened, especially as a female Pokémon hadn't kissed him since the encounter with Santa's lost Jynx a long time ago. However, Glaceon realized what she was doing and pulled away as her cheeks turned brought red at this. 'Oh, I'm sorry, Pikachu!' she spoke with disbelief on her face the moment she realized what she had done.

Nobody present knew what to say, especially as they never expected anything like this to happen. Before Pikachu could process what just happened, he soon found himself kissed by another Pokémon, Buneary. It was just as shocking as when Glaceon did so. "Oh, come on, not you too!" began Misty, once again bewildered at the sight of seeing Pikachu getting kissed for the second time. Though something suddenly clicked into her mind, which could also explain why May's Pokémon was feeling pain earlier.

'Oh no, what was I doing?!' exclaimed Buneary as she pulled away from Pikachu, having never expected to place a kiss onto the male Mouse Pokémon almost immediately after Glaceon did. Unfortunately, the thought of doing so was making her want to do it again, and the female Ice-Type felt the same thing, which worried them more than ever.

"You, I think I'm starting to think the virus might be affecting you and Glaceon."

'Huh?' wondered Glaceon as she and Buneary turned towards the Tomboyish Mermaid, more confused by what she meant since they hadn't had this feeling since before they reunited with Pikachu and how all three had a lot of catching up to do since then. 'What do you mean?'

"Think about it, you were in pain earlier, Glaceon, and that was before you, Pikachu, and Buneary found me undergoing my transformation into what I am right now," Misty told the Fresh Snow Pokémon in question. part of her feared that if it had this effect on Pokémon, then there's no telling what it could do to humans transformed into hybrids. "It couldn't have been a coincidence that it just happened again… I think it might be a possible side-effect from being exposed to the virus."

'W-What?!' exclaimed Buneary, she couldn't believe what she was hearing, nor could Pikachu and Glaceon even though they had to admit that she might be on to something. 'Are you serious?! How is this even possible?!'

"Well, from what I can tell, you haven't undergone the transformation into hybrids, unlike humans, but something is happening to you and Glaceon," explained Misty with a frown, before glancing at all three Pokémon that were right in front of her.

"While you are experiencing changes physically, mentally, you are starting to get in… the heat."

'The heat?!'

"It's when your instincts start to take over, especially when you are with someone you've started developing feelings for and want to be with," began Misty as she thought about what she wanted to say. However, Misty still remembered when she saw both Glaceon and Buneary kissing Pikachu. Okay, Misty could understand if it was just Glaceon doing so, but Buneary as well? After all, this just didn't add up at all, which made her even more concerned the more she thought about it. "You don't suppose that both of you like Pikachu, do you?"

The news itself got Pikachu by surprise, and he turned to glance at both female Pokémon near him, their cheeks bright pink as they were looking away in embarrassment as well as shame. 'Is… is what Misty saying all true?' he asked of them, he wasn't angry with the two… just concerned as he reflected on what Brock once mentioned back when he, Ash, and Misty were trying to help Butterfree to find a mate before their eventual arrival at Saffron City.

Neither female Pokémon said anything, they continued looking away, and it worried Pikachu the more they wouldn't speak to him. 'Please say something; I'm not mad if that's what you're thinking…' he assured them despite still being injured and needing some time to rest.

"I think this would make sense; I mean, why else would they kiss you?" hearing Misty's voice as the young gym leader looked at Ash's starter and understood what he was thinking. If she's honest, Misty envied Daisy for getting Tracey as a boyfriend before she got one, which made Misty hope that she'd stay with Ash longer the last time she saw him though it wasn't to happen. "Brock did say that if two Pokémon do fall in love, then their trainers would do the same, and that was when we helped Butterfree finding a mate."

'Yeah, I remember…' Pikachu replied to the Cerulean City Gym Leader, but there was a matter of what could happen if there were two female Pokémon who were both deeply in love with the same male one, regardless of what species they're from in the first place. 'Too bad Brock never mentioned about a situation where there were two female Pokémon belonging to two different trainers falling in love with a male one owned by a male trainer.'

"Good point," she said, although it made her wonder about the possibility of how Ash, May, and Dawn would react should they learn about the news. On the other hand, she worries that she might be in the heat should she encounter Ash because he is a hybrid as the male Vaporeon hybrid said earlier on. "I just hope Ash hasn't completely fallen to the infection by now…"

Meanwhile, Mallow and her Bounsweet were still looking for the former's father and brother, which started making them more worried than ever the longer they were out in the middle of nowhere with no sign of anyone to ask. "I'm honestly getting a bad feeling right now," Mallow told her Pokémon, wishing she was back in the Alola region at this very moment… though she didn't know if it had become a victim of the infection itself.

'Yeah, I know how you feel, but we can't give up now' said Bounsweet as she looked up towards the green-haired girl, part of her hoped they wouldn't have to fight any hybrids because even she didn't know if she'd be able to handle them in a battle. 'I'm sure we'll find your father and brother soon, or even find a place where we can rest up before we continue our search.'

The female from the Alola region glanced at her Pokémon, knowing it was a good thing that she had her by her side otherwise, who knows what could've happened by now. "I certainly hope you're right," she said with worry in her voice; she thought about her remaining family members whom she accompanied to Kalos while her grandfather looked after their restaurant in their home region. "It's just that we've been looking everywhere for a while, and we hadn't found any sign of them yet."

Remaining silent, Bounsweet once again understood how her trainer was feeling, but she didn't get a chance to speak as they heard a scream coming from the far right, not too far from their current location either. "What was that?" Mallow asked her Pokémon, shocked to hear the scream of someone she had no idea about, but it worried Mallow.

'I don't know, but it sounded like someone screaming!'

Recognizing this made Mallow even more worried than ever, and she wondered what to do. "Listen, whoever it is… they need our help!" she said before heading off in the direction that the scream came from, and it started making Bounsweet worried as she didn't want anything harmful to happen to her trainer.

'Hey, wait for me!' she cried out as she followed Mallow as fast as she could, going through the bushes as the two hoped they weren't too late to help whoever they heard. Eventually, they arrived to find who screamed but noticed it was a hybrid.

It was Anabel and Mallow from her hiding spot and saw her transformation completed and seeing that the lavender-haired Salon Maiden holding onto her head. "I have to fight it!" Anabel cried out as Mallow could see that the lavender-haired became an Espeon hybrid.

Mallow moved closer, she knew that this was stupid hell it's foolish even to try this, and Anabel noticed this too. "Stay back!" yelled Anabel, causing Mallow and her Bounsweet to jump back a bit at the tone of her voice, knowing she could lose her mind at any moment. "Don't come any closer!"

"Huh?" wondered Mallow, both she and her Pokémon were completely speechless the moment this woman rejected the possibility of getting help given her current condition. "But, you need help!"

Anabel looked at the green-haired girl, fearing that the moment as she smiled, knowing she'll end up infecting her next. "I can't be helped you need to save yourself before it's too late…" she said, feeling the effects of the transformation taking place within her mind. "I can feel my mind going. Soon I'll be like the others."

Neither the girl nor her Pokémon could say a word when they heard this as they only looked at each other, before looking back to Anabel. "No, we can't leave you here all alone!" Mallow cried out to the poor girl.

Once again, Anabel looked at Mallow with a weak smile. "That's kind, but I know that it will be safer if you leave me," Anabel said with a smile a weak one, but still a smile.

Mallow began to shake her head, as she wasn't going to leave this girl here. "I can't do that, and they could be working on a cure!" Mallow cried out to the poor women.

Anabel smiled once more as she closed her eyes holding her head. "No, I won't infect her leave me alone!" Anabel screamed while Mallow wondered who or what the lavender-haired girl was talking to in the first place.

Anabel continued to hold her head while Mallow and her Bounsweet watched with concern on their faces. The two looked at each other before they heard the girl giggle as Mallow wondered what caused her to laugh like that. "Umm, are you okay?" Mallow asked.

Anabel looked up to the green-haired girl with lust in her eyes. "Hmm, you look cute," Anabel said, licking her lips as she stared at her new body.

Mallow and Bounsweet as fear began to form on their faces, neither sure what to do, but Mallow wished that she had listened to what the lavender-haired girl told her. 'Mallow, we need to go!' Bounsweet cried out to her trainer, knowing that Mallow might end up meeting the same fate.

Mallow nodded her face still had a look of fear on it, something Anabel noticed. "Aw, sweetie, it's not that bad. I mean, I want to infect you, that what the voice told me, but I want to go find Ash right now and mate with him."

Mallow knew she didn't like this as she looked at Bounsweet knowing they needed to run, and now before the lavender-haired girl attacked them.

The two watched as they saw the lavender-haired girl moaning, both thought that she was most likely thinking about mating with this Ash. "We need to go now, Bounsweet," Mallow told her Pokémon with a whisper.

Bounsweet nodded as the two took off, leaving Anabel all alone, as she noticed them running off, but right now, she didn't care. "Oh well, it doesn't matter, right now I need to find Ash," Anabel said as she giggled, knowing Misty might have become infected by now. "Still, I wonder if I should try and find Misty first. I do want to see her rebirth."

With that in her mind thinking which she should target and head after first, and with some thought, Anabel smiled. "Hmm, I think I will go after Ash. I know Misty will show up later."

Anabel soon took off with her objective in finding Ash, and while she wasn't sure where the black-headed boy was, Anabel was determined to find him. "When I do, we shall become mates."

A/N Okay, the chapter is done. This one took longer thanks to a cold I'm getting over. I will say getting a running nose sucks, as this makes it harder to write my stories.

Now, as you can see, both Misty and Anabel have changed into their hybrid forms, only Misty has managed to keep her human mind. I know many of you are wondering why I picked Misty in becoming a Vaporeon Hybrid. I planned on what all of the main girls would become when getting infected right from the start.

I know many will wonder why Anabel also lost her mind faster, and Misty has kept her mind, don't worry, you'll find that out in the next chapter, and the man who caused the outbreak as well, and his intentions.

As for Misty transformation, I wanted to try something new with her. I mean, she was growing scales and Misty's human skin peeling off her body. I was aiming for a horror type feeling when it came to Misty changing into a Vaporeon.

And yes, as you can see, Mallow has also shown up, and I know many wanted to see Ash and what's going on with him, but don't worry. We'll catch up with Ash in the next chapter.

Don't worry; Ash will get more girls for those of you wondering it will just take time for the girls to reach and find Ash is all. Anyway, until the next chapter, please let me know what you think as this might be the last chapter as my laptop backlight keeps going since this chapter was meant to be up Monday.
