Okay, then time to answer some guest reviews I got from the last chapter.
Guest: Thanks, I still think I could make it better, but I am only human, and there is only so much I can do, sadly. As for Bonnie, well, I have a few ideas in mind.
Chapter 16: A New Mate for Ash
Sir Aaron gritted his teeth as he felt something happening in the direction Ash had gone off in. 'What is happening?' began Lucario upon looking towards his partner.
"It's Ash, my friend. I sense that he's having trouble right now."
Hearing this left Lucario speechless, and he too began focusing his aura on Ash's location and frowned the moment he sensed that what Sir Aaron said was indeed true. 'Damn it,' he cursed via telepathy, knowing that Ash wouldn't be able to make it back before the hybrid side to him completely took over. 'This couldn't have come at a worse possible time.'
"Indeed, and the longer he remains fighting them, the chances of the training helping him fight off the infection decreases," added Sir Aaron, not liking this one bit and knew that they couldn't do anything about it due to being dead. "I just wish there was something we can do to assist him."
'Indeed, and I can sense him not liking the fact he's pitted against two of his former companions from the Unova region either,' said Lucario as he frowned, knowing the trouble Ash was facing becoming worried for his friend.
Lucario knew this was more troublesome while sensing that Iris and Cilan were making things far more difficult for the raven-haired Lucario hybrid. 'Not to mention there's a third enemy hybrid in the area which further complicates matters.'
The deceased Aura Guardian nodded in agreement with his companion and scowled more than ever, especially given how the girl had decided to aid Ash even though she's at risk of potentially becoming a hybrid herself. "To make matters worse, the green-haired young girl has sent her Bounsweet to help Ash despite knowing what could potentially happen," he then said.
'I must commend her on having the courage even to do something like this, though,' Lucario admitted as he was sure that Sir Aaron was somewhat impressed himself despite not showing it in this kind of situation. 'Still, it's going to take more than just that even to survive the current threat, let alone the ones responsible for it.'
"You're right about that," said the deceased Aura Guardian as he and his companion also needed to make sure that the girls, including the new one Anabel, were safe should there be any hidden surprises still out there. Plus, he also feared for Dawn and Sherry since it's only a matter of time before they're unable to fight off the infection. "I can't help but wish there was something we can do."
'We can't,' began Lucario, and then a thought occurred to him since there might be some way to help Ash and Mallow out after all though he's honestly not too happy about it. 'Although I think there is someone who could be of some assistance.'
Sir Aaron nodded, worried that not only Dawn and Sherry will join the other three, but Ash could lose his mind soon. "That is something we need to hope the training will help them regain their minds."
Lucario stared at his friend. 'Yes, but it will take a while for them to regain their minds,' Lucario said, his eyes turning to look at Dawn and Sherry, both fighting the infection.
The two hybrids were doing what was needed to help keep or later regain their human minds. "I hope that this works," Dawn said, her eyes closed, but she was getting worried about Ash.
Sherry nodded, looking to the house where May Serena and Anabel are all in right now, unsure of what the three hybrids are doing. "I still don't like this," Sherry said, sitting next to Dawn.
"I know, we know they want Ash," Dawn began, worried for her friends and what they are planning. "They want us all to give in and embrace what we have turned into."
Sherry agreed with what Dawn was saying, but the Pachirisu girl placed a hand on her stomach. "Not that it matters since Ash has impregnated us," Sherry said before looking at Dawn.
Hearing this from Sherry caused the Bunneary girl to blush. "We might not be pregnant, Sherry," Dawn said, hoping that she wasn't since she didn't want to become a mother yet.
'Sadly, you and the others are with child,' Lucario said, looking at the two who are shocked. Well, Dawn was shocked while Sherry knew it was true as she rubbed her stomach with a smile.
"No, I need to fight this," Sherry thought, shaking the images coming to her head.
"Lucario, something is happening, isn't it?" Dawn said, looking at Lucario; she could tell something was wrong.
Sherry was looking at Lucario, now hearing Dawn mention this; she knew something is happening right now, but neither of the two hybrids knew. 'Yes, you see Ash is fighting his friends,' Lucario said, looking at Dawn. 'And I think you know who two of them are, Dawn.'
Dawn knew who Lucario was talking about and nodded as she turned to Sherry. "It's two friends Ash was with when he was in Unova," Dawn told Sherry as the Pachirisu girl nodded. "So, what's the plan then?" Dawn asked, hoping that there was a plan.
Lucario said nothing looking at the two thinking what they should do next; he knew that neither should leave. 'I'm sorry, but you can't go since you are both still training your minds.'
Neither Sherry nor Dawn liked hearing this from Lucario, but they both knew he was right, though they still hated it. "So, what are we going to do then?!" Sherry cried out with fear. "Our mate needs our help!" the Pachirisu cried as she covered her mouth.
"Sherry?" Dawn asked, looking at the girl with concern, seeing and hearing what she has said. "I hate to say it, but we need to stay and keep on training."
Sherry nodded, but she looked at Lucario. "So, you do have a plan then, right?" Sherry asked as even Dawn wanted to know, but they both watched and smiled when Lucario smiled at them.
Misty was holding her breath, hearing the hissing from the two Arbok hybrids. "Hmm, we can smell your fear," the girl said with delight in her voice.
Eric smiled, hugging his mate from behind. "I know, my love, it might be another human hiding."
Amanda smiled, hearing this seeing the burning desire within her mate's eyes. "Aww, you want mate, don't you, Eric?" she asked with a smile while moving to kiss her mate.
Still not moving from her current hiding spot, Misty looked at Pikachu and the others; all three could smell Misty's fear right now. 'Misty, don't worry, we're here to help you,' Pikachu told his old friend with a smile.
Glaceon and Bunneary nodded as they looked at Misty, and seeing this helped Misty feel more relaxed. "Yeah, you're right, Pikachu. We need to get out of here," Misty told the three Pokémon with a whisper.
The three Pokémon nodded at her as Misty then looked outside the cave seeing the two Arbok hybrids sniffing the air with their tongues. "Okay, this could be the chance that we need to get away from them," Misty said, looking at Pikachu.
'Don't worry, I won't hurt them; they are not well,' Pikachu said, smiling as his checks began to spark. 'I won't let them hurt Glaceon or Bunneary either.'
The two female Pokémon blushed when Pikachu said this while Misty had a smile before looking outside the cave and sighed. "Okay, let's do this," she said, making her way out of the cave.
When Misty left the cave, the two Arbok hybrids looked at Misty, and the Vaporeon girl could tell they are disappointed. "Oh, that sucks. I was hoping you were human," Eric said, looking at Misty.
"Hmm, I still think she looks sexy," Amanda said with a hiss, her eyes looking at Misty.
"Indeed, she does," Eric replied to Amanda, agreeing with the woman he loved despite the fact Misty wasn't an Arbok hybrid, but that didn't mean she couldn't join them for some… special fun with each other. As for Pikachu, he remembered the battles he had against Jessie's Arbok from the battles in Kanto before reaching Fuchsia City, all the way to the early going of his and Ash's travels through Hoenn.
Speaking of Pikachu, he was moments away from firing a Thunderbolt when Glaceon decided to speak to him. 'You still haven't recovered. What if something goes wrong?' she asked as it's clear what he's about to do. Neither she nor Bunneary approved of it since he could end up in worse condition than ever, or worse; he might die.
'What choice do I have?' Pikachu asked back. His cheeks were still sparking with electricity since he needed to act quickly and fast if they were to escape the two Arbok hybrids in front of them. 'There's a chance they might try and catch us by surprise if we're not careful…'
'I swear that you are becoming more like Ash, and by that, I mean stubborn and reckless.'
'Glaceon, come on!' Pikachu spoke, becoming annoyed as he did not feel the need to be compared to his Trainer, given how usually he often had to bail Ash out of trouble if Pikachu had to. He feared that there's a chance the raven-haired young man would succumb to the infection unless they find him quickly. 'Now is not the time to be starting an argument right now.'
'I'm not trying to argue with you, Pikachu!' Glaceon replied, just as annoyed that the male Mouse Pokémon thought she wanted to argue with him in a life-or-death situation when it was not the case at all. 'I was just saying that you need some rest, maybe even let me and Bunneary handle the plan of getting us out of here for once!'
Misty saw the small spat between Pikachu and Glaceon made Misty frown, reminding her of the argument she had with Ash during Kanto, the Orange Islands, and Johto. "Why am I starting to understand how Brock feels whenever Ash and I argued?" she asked herself mentally as she wished she could do something to stop the two right now before suddenly hearing a small chuckle coming from Eric.
"If you two are both now finished arguing, I think it's time we get down to business," said the male Arbok hybrid as he found the moment between the two Pokémon to be hilarious. Eric knew that his beloved Amanda enjoyed the same scene right before her eyes as well. "If I didn't know any better, I'd say the two of you are actually in love with each other, and you don't want to admit it."
"I agree with you there," added Amanda, smiling very seductively as she glanced at Pikachu and Glaceon specifically ever since both Pokémon were fighting with one another. "After all, fighting is the first sign of love, and it seems the two care for each other if they're arguing."
'We're not in love!'
To Misty, this was once again starting to feel familiar to her as similar instances where she was called Ash's girlfriend flashed before her eyes, whether it be from the Team Rocket trio or Melody of the Orange Islands, yet she didn't say a word. "See what I mean?" Eric's voice called out as he was even more amused at the way both Pikachu and Glaceon responded. "The two of you just answered together."
The Pokémon in question were bewildered by what Eric had said, causing their respective cheeks to turn bright red as a result. 'Why am I getting vibes of when Ash and May were arguing with one another, and both Oscar and Andi believed them to be a couple,' muttered the Electric-Type Mouse Pokémon.
"Hold on, who's Oscar and Andi?"
'I'll explain later, Misty,' Pikachu replied as he should have mentioned that part before and hoped Misty wouldn't develop some jealousy towards May as she did with Macey and Giselle back then.
Misty nodded, but she was going to ask Pikachu once they escaped. "If we can get away from them, that is," Misty thought looking at Pikachu before turning to look at the two hybrids.
Seeing the two Arbok hybrids, everyone knew that they needed to run, but the two Arbok hybrids hissed once again. "But it doesn't matter, my mate," Amanda said with a hiss, her eyes looking at Misty and the Pokémon with a smile.
The male Arbok hybrid hissed in delight, looking at the female Vaporeon standing before them. "Hmm, I agree with you, Amanda," Eric said, his eyes looking at the Pikachu and Bunneary. "They would still make a good meal."
Misty growled when she heard this, and it made her feel sick. "How can you say that!" she cried out as she looked at the girl who had just recently been human. "Come on, and you were human a while ago!" Misty cried at the former human, wanting her to see this was wrong.
Amanda laughed as she slithers closer to Misty while smiling at the Vaporeon girl. "You still have no idea how great this feels, do you?" she asked with a smiled and showed Misty her sharp fangs, with Misty back away Arbok girl with some fear.
"I don't care how it feels. I know it's wrong," Misty told the two and stepped back from them, but she looked at the three Pokémon standing beside her. "We need to leave this place before they attack."
"Aww, but we want to stay like this," Amanda as she quickly tackled Misty to the ground and wrapped her snake body around Misty.
Misty was left shocked when the Arbok hybrid did this, thinking that she would kill her. "No, is this it? Am I going to die here?" Misty thought as she closed her eyes, waiting for the end to come and take her.
However, nothing came, no pain, no bite to the neck. Nothing, Misty began to slowly open her eyes to see what the Arbok hybrid was doing and why Amanda was taking her time.
It made Misty wonder why neither Amanda nor her mate, Eric are not trying to kill her, and the two Arbok hybrids looked at her. It only caused Misty to wonder why they hadn't killed her since they had a chance to do it.
"Okay, I need to get out of here. Since I have no idea what the two are going to do with me," Misty thought, looking at the two Arbok hybrids.
"Don't worry," Amanda said as she smiled, looking down at Misty. "We're not going to kill you, but free you from still thinking like a human. Soon you shall embrace what you have become. Then you can find a mate."
Eric nodded, knowing the mission that they all wanted to do. "Yes, my love, soon the whole world will become hybrids," Eric said as he slithers over to his mate.
Misty's eyes went wide when she heard this; they wanted the whole world to become hybrids. "No, you can't!" Misty cried out with fear thinking about her friends and her sisters. "You can't do this to the world. None of us wanted this!"
However, the two hybrids laughed at this, and Misty could tell that neither cared about changing back to their old lives. "Hmm, I thought like that too before my love showed me how wrong I was," Amanda told Misty with a seductive hiss.
The two Arbok hybrids then turned their attention to Misty. "For now, we'll make sure that you'll mind will get free," Eric said, looking at Amanda and then at Misty.
However, his eyes turned towards the three Pokémon, seeing that they watched with fear and concern. 'Pikachu, we need to help Misty!' Glaceon cried out, unsure what they should do next.
Pikachu looked at Misty, who was trying to get free. 'I know, but if I use an attack, it will hurt Misty,' Pikachu said with a frown, his eyes not leaving Misty while thinking what he can do to help his friend.
Amanda hissed and smiled before grabbing Misty's breasts and started playing with them. "Hmm, your breasts are so lovely," she said with a grin before looking at Pikachu hearing what he said. "Oh, you're right. It will hurt her. I'm she is a water type after all."
Misty looked over to Pikachu; seeing the conflicting look he had, she knew they were all right. "Pikachu, you need to do it!" Misty cried out as she looked at Pikachu. "I know you don't want me to get hurt, but it's something you'll need to do!"
Pikachu was then immediately shocked after hearing what Misty wanted him to do to her, as he was still unsure that he wanted to hurt Misty. 'Misty...' Pikachu said with a whisper, but he knew that it's all he could do right not to help Misty.
Glaceon and Bunneary then look at Pikachu, seeing his checks sparking, and they knew what's about to happen. So, the two quickly stepped back, so neither would get hit by Pikachu's attack.
Misty watched the attack, and she knew that she needed to get ready for when the attack hit. "I hate this, but I'm still new to my body," Misty thought knowing that Vaporeon had many tricks and hidden abilities.
While Misty was in deep thought, she tried fighting back what Amanda was doing to her before seeing Eric, both intending to change her mind so she would think like them. "Soon you'll mind will become free," Amanda with clear joy in her voice.
Eric nodded as he looked at his mate with a happy smile. "Yes, you will thank us once we have freed you from your weak human mind," Eric said, his voice filled with lust wanting to get it over with already. "After all, I want to mate with Amanda here so we can have some eggs or young."
"Hmm, I wonder what we shall have, my love," Amanda said with a hiss as she looked back to her mate, Pikachu seeing this was his only chance, fired a powerful Thunderbolt at the two.
Once Pikachu's Thunderbolt hit, all three cried out in pain, but Pikachu knew the pain was far worse for Misty. 'Please just hang on, Misty,' Glaceon cried out, waiting for when the female Arbok would let her go, and then they could escape.
The three hybrids continued to cry out in pain as Amanda let Misty go as the two Arbok hybrids slithered away in pain. 'Pikachu, it's okay they're running away now!' Bunneary told Pikachu, who quickly stopped when he heard this as the three Pokémon ran over to Misty.
'Misty, are you okay?' Glaceon asked with concern for the Vaporeon girl, seeing the electric burns on Misty.
The three Pokémon looked her over as Misty slowly lifts her head before she weakly smiled at the three. "I'm okay, you three. It hurt a lot more than I thought it would," Misty told the three weakly but still smiled at them.
Pikachu couldn't help but sigh with great relief that Misty was okay as he watched the Vaporeon girl get to her feet. 'Okay, what should we do now?' Pikachu asked as he knew that they couldn't stay here.
Misty was silent, looking at the three Pokémon. "Well, I think that right now we need to find our friends and hope they still have their minds," Misty said, smiling at the three who nodded and began to leave the area in the hope of finding their friends. "I just hope they do still have their minds when we find them," Misty thought, unsure what will happen when she finds them. "Please, let them be safe and okay."
As this was going on, Brock and Clemont were looking out for any potential hybrids in the area, all while Bonnie was resting nearby, holding Dedenne like he was a teddy bear. "See any hybrids out there?" asked the Rock-Solid Pokémon Trainer, knowing that while things seemed safe for now, it was best not to take any chances after what happened earlier on.
Lance and the others with him had left to look for other survivors and to refill the helicopter. Brock hoped that Lance and the others would come back still hating that they had lost so many.
"So far, there's nothing right now," answered Clemont with a frown on his face as he was still bothered by the fact that his and Bonnie's hometown was now completely infected with their father Meyer, now being a hybrid himself by this point.
Brock frowned, thinking that there was a chance that they might get some rest, although one of them may need to stay awake and inform the rest should something happen. "Alright, if you wanna get some rest, then I recommend you do so now," he said to the former Gym Leader of Lumiose City, believing it would be before for him to be with his sister.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, I'm sure," said Brock as he nodded his head since Bonnie needed Clemont in case anything was to happen. He was more limited than the Pewter Gym Leader turned future Pokémon Doctor because he had just Bunnelby and Chespin on his team. "If anything, I'll contact Professor Oak before I turn in for the night myself. I mean, you're the one your sister has left."
There was silence coming from Clemont, although he did make a good point after what happened to their hometown earlier thanks to the infection. "Okay, but let me ask you something before I head back," he began as he looked at the Pokémon Doctor from Pewter City. "Do you have anyone important back home that you're concerned about?'
Remaining silent, Brock took this into great consideration and especially as he didn't know whether or not Pewter City itself had suffered the same affliction that most of the world did. "Now that you mention it…" he began with a frown, knowing he never actually mentioned his family to anyone other than Ash, May, Max, and Misty. "There's also my family and a friend of mine. All of them residing in my hometown, and I asked Professor Oak to make sure they're okay."
With that, Brock explained to Clemont everything about his family and his friend Solidad in detail, unaware that Bonnie and Dedenne each had one eye open as they listened in to what the Rock-Solid Pokémon Trainer was telling her older brother. "Oh, I see…" Clemont replied as he took in what Brock revealed to him. "Guess I'm not the only one worried for my family."
"Yeah, and my younger brother Forest is still getting the hang of being the new Gym Leader of Pewter City," added Brock, knowing that if he had himself got infected. His younger brother would then be in charge of looking after their family and keeping them safe from harm.
"Well, entrusting your brother as the Gym Leader in your absence, it's honestly smarter than what I did," explained Clemont as he thought back to when he created Clembot, a "Gym Leader robot" to stand in for him when he was busy. "That sure was a mistake on my part."
"What do you mean?"
"It's a long story," Clemont replied with a sigh, knowing that he would need to try again in retaking the Lumiose Gym eventually, the out-of-control Clembot, once everyone was changed back into humans, with this whole mess was with the spreading infection is finished. "Right now, I honestly don't feel like talking about it."
Brock just looked at Clemont, realizing that it must have been bad if the blonde-haired young man wasn't willing to talk about it right now, even with them being alone. "It's that bad, huh?" he asked as he knew how that felt in a way, given his past connection with Professor Ivy back at Valencia Island all those years ago, even though he had long since finally gotten over it. "To be honest, you're not the only one with this situation Clemont. I had a similar one myself…"
"Oh?" began Clemont, becoming curious on what exactly Brock was talking about when he said that he knew how the former Gym Leader of Lumiose City felt in terms of a situation he didn't want to talk about for the time being. "Is that right?"
Brock nodded as he was about to say something until he heard something coming towards them. "That's not good," Brock said with a whisper as he looked at Clemont. "We need to hide and close the doors," Brock whispered to Clemont, who nodded his head.
Clemont nodded as they closed the Helicopter door before hiding as they heard the sounds coming closer. "What do you think it is?" Clemont asked as he kept his voice low.
Brock said nothing, but he was still worried, but they also needed to know what was coming this way. "Let me take a look," he told the two with a whisper ensuring it's safe.
As Brock looked out the window, he saw a girl running away with tears in her eyes. "No, stay away from me!" she yelled as Brock then noticed what was chasing her.
Brock looked as he saw three Miltank girls chasing the poor young woman. "Moo, don't go stay and get changed!" one of them cried out with a smile, and Brock tried to recognize the voice.
However, he could only see the back heads of the three Miltank girls. "Moo, join us, Moo," the second Miltank girl said as both she and the third one grabbed the brunette by her arms.
"No, stop it let me go!" the poor girl cried out as she was then quickly forced to the ground.
The other two Miltank girls looked at the girl with a smile before turning to the third, moaning and giving a few moos. "Okay, Aki moo, she's all yours moo," the first Miltank girl said with joy.
Brock was shocked when hearing this; he now knows who the three Miltank girls are. "Moo, thank you, Haru," Aki said with a moan as she moved closer to the girl.
"Brock, we need to do something," Clemont said, turning to look at Brock, knowing they needed to do something.
Brock looked at Clemont, and sadly he knew that there was nothing neither of them could do for the brunette. "We can't," Brock began looking at what's happening as Aki moved closer. "I hate this too, Clemont, but we can't do much right now."
Brock said, knowing if they did anything, they would get infected, and Clemont sighed before looking to his sister. He knew that he needed to keep her safe from any harm that would come his way. "Yeah, your right Brock, I just wish it wasn't like that."
The poor girl cried more as she tried to get free from the three Miltank girls; her cries for help terrified Bonnie. "Do you know them, Brock?" Clemont asked, noticing the look on Brock's face.
"Yeah, I did. Ash and I, along with another friend, met them once," Brock said with a frown, wonder how far the infection is now spreading.
The two looked back outside, thankful that the three are ignoring the Helicopter. "The three could think it just got abandoned," Clemont said before moving to his sister. "Are they here for you, Brock?"
When Clemont asked this, Brock for a while said nothing, watching and waiting for any chance they had and if the three Miltank girls would leave after they had finished.
"Brock, talk to me?" Clemont asked once again since he didn't want his sister getting infected by the three Miltank girls.
Looking back to Clemont and seeing how the inventor wanted an answer, Brock had an unsure look on his face. "I have no idea," Brock said, speaking the truth.
The poor girl continued to cry as the three sisters all smiled. "Moo, I'm so happy we ran into that Abra hybrid; she helped us get here to find our mate," Aki said with a happy moo before looking at her sisters still smiling.
Haru nodded with a happy smile on her face as she looked at her two sisters. "I know, this moo will make it easy to find our mate," she said, looking over at Natsu.
Brock and Clemont heard this as they looked at each other, knowing that the three sisters are looking for someone but are worried about what they also found out. "This isn't good, Brock. If they have Pokémon that can do this, then..." Clemont said, but he stopped knowing that Lance needed to know this information when he and the others came back.
Brock nodded as well, but he began to wonder who the three were after and what they can do, thanks to the infection. "Yeah, this is getting worse with each passing day."
"Please let me go!" The girl cried as all three Miltank girls giggled when she had asked them.
Aki smiled, seeing her sisters holding the girl she would free from the shackles they call humanity. "Don't worry," Aki said with a smile. "Soon, you shall be free. Free from the shackles that we had as weak humans."
"My sister is moo, right," Haru said, still holding the brunette's arms. "Then we can find our moo mate," she added, wanting to find him before they lost the chance.
"But I don't want this. Please go and find the one you want and leave me alone, please!" the brunette cried out before Aki shoved her utters into her face.
Aki smiled at this, and so did her sisters; while within the Helicopter, Brock and Clemont watched in fear. Aki and her sister could only smile as the brunette immediately got forced to drink Aki's milk, which caused the Miltank girl to moan in delight.
"Ahh, moo, it feels so good," Aki said with a moan before playing with her breasts. "I hope that we can find Ash soon!" Aki cried, looking at the girl that began her transformation.
Haru and Natsu nodded, looking at their sister, as they let the brunette go knowing she's not going to fight back. "Moo, me too. I want to find him so we can mate with him," Haru said as she couldn't wait to find Ash.
"Moo, I just hope Team Rocket won't show up and then possibly spoil the fun we'll have with Ash."
The other two Miltank girls nodded as they looked down at the changing girl who continued to drink Aki's milk. "Hmm, soon she will be free like the whole world will be soon," Aki said with a smile.
"Damn it…" Virgil cried out with a whisper seeing how bad everything is getting right now and how few survivors there are.
He and Davy are still standing near their helicopter after finding a place where they could rest for a while. Virgil sighed as he attempted to contact anyone who somehow managed to avoid getting infected but to no avail. "This is Virgil of the Pokémon Rescue Squad and champion of the Vertress Conference. Is there anyone nearby who can provide both me and also my brother their assistance?" he called out on the radio, only to hear static coming from the other end, which made him frown even more.
It didn't take long before Davy approached his brother after checking to make sure everything is still in working order with their helicopter in the unlikely case; they needed to leave quickly. "Still no luck, huh?" he asked with concern on his face.
"I'm afraid not, which means we might be on our from this point forward," Virgil replied, putting the radio away as he looked out at the distance as Team Eevee had been sent to scout the area they were in to be certain it was safe. "Sure, we have our Pokémon with us, but even they have their limits, unfortunately."
"Plus, we have limited supplies, including food and water," added Davy, as both brothers needed to be extra careful if they were going to continue since they shouldn't carelessly use up what supplies they had in their possession. Sadly neither of them has been that far away from their home, even during missions they had. "Sooner or later, it's going to run out completely, and who knows what's going to happen if we don't get help before then."
"I know, Davy… but…"
He didn't finish what he was going to say; it was still painful at having had to lose their father earlier when their home ended up succumbing to the infection spreading across the entire Pokémon World. "You're thinking about dad, aren't you?" he heard Davy ask him, fully realizing why Virgil was still feeling down following their escape.
Hearing this, the winner of the Vertress Conference turned towards his brother. "How did you know?" he asked, somewhat surprised.
"Lucky guess," Davy replied as he shrugged before continuing. "Listen, you got to face the fact that dad isn't going to be around forever, and we have to be ready to deal with future threats on our own sooner or later."
There was nothing but silence coming from Virgil, and he took this into great consideration, knowing Davy made a valid point on the matter. "Besides, we'll be able to watch each other's backs, you know if worse comes to it," he went on, looking his younger brother in the eye. "After all, if Eevee was to become more confident after the two of you and the rest of Team Eevee were able to win the Vertress Conference, then we'll be able to make it through this whole ideal and find a means to get everyone back to normal."
Virgil thought about it, remembering his conversations with Ash, Iris, and Cilan from when he first met them before the Vertress Conference and the interactions during and even after it. "You're right; I shouldn't be letting what happened to dad get to me at a time like this…" he said after a few seconds of deep thought.
Davy smiled at this; seeing the change of expression also made him relieved. "That's the spirit, little brother," he said as he was glad that his younger brother was starting to see the bigger picture, and sure enough, Team Eevee returned from their scouting patrol. "Glad you guys could join us. Did you manage to find anything?"
Eevee immediately shook her head when asked this question. 'Nothing really, although it's a good thing because I really wouldn't want to take on a hybrid in battle,' she told the two brothers, partly relieved that there weren't any signs of hybrids within the area.
'I concur with Eevee,' added Umbreon as he looked back in the direction that he and his fellow Eeveelutions came from, having wanted to make certain they weren't getting followed by hybrids as they wanted to be on the safe side. 'I mean, many of the hybrids are still innocent people deep inside, and we never had to resort to using our full power against something that wasn't an opposing Pokémon or even a Pokémon Poacher.'
"We don't blame you for feeling that way. After all, we still don't know the full extent of the infection," said Virgil, understanding what Umbreon and Eevee were telling him. "Still, we appreciate the information that you've given us, but don't be careless and never go anywhere on your own."
Soon everyone went silent as they could hear voices nearby, but the two looked at each other. "We better get ready for what it might be," Virgil said to Davy.
Ash looked at Iris and Cilan; he knew that he hated yelling at Iris, but she pushed him right now and in the wrong places. "Look, Iris Cilan, just let me and this girl leave, okay?" Ash asked his two friends hoping they would let him and Mallow leave.
However, the two didn't listen, the two getting ready to attack Ash with Mallow watching on in fear. She knew that the two Zoroark hybrids would try and infect her.
Bounsweet also watched, but her eyes are on Zack, who looked at them, and she began to wonder what Murkrow hybrid was planning. 'Well, what are you planning to do?' Bounsweet asked as Mallow looked at her Pokémon.
Jack only let out a laugh, and it worried both her and Bounsweet when hearing it. "Oh, you two don't have to worry about me. I'm just watching the fun," he told both trainer and Pokémon.
Mallow didn't like hearing this, still unsure if they could trust this Murkrow hybrid. "Yeah, right, I know you're waiting to infect me!" Mallow said as she turned to Bounsweet.
'Yeah, for all we know, it's a trick that you're playing. You'll wait until Ash there is tired, then you or one of the others will infect Mallow!' Bounsweet cried out, not wanting her friend to become a hybrid.
However, Jack wasn't insulted by what Mallow and Bounsweet were saying. All the Murkrow hybrid did was merely laugh like it's all a joke to him, and it caused the two to become more concerned. "As I told you, I won't infect you. That should be something your mate should do."
When Jack said this, he looked at Ash, seeing both Cilan and Iris running at Ash. While Mallow also watched, thinking that she could maybe even use this chance to maybe just run for it.
'It's worth the risk, Mallow,' Bounsweet told Mallow with a whisper, hoping to now try and run for it.
"Now, now you two don't think about running," Jack said as he turned his head to look at them both with a smile. "If you do, I might have no other option but to infect you."
Mallow couldn't help but nod her head in fear. All she could do was watch Ash fight his two friends, and Mallow knew that it's something he hated doing.
However, as the two looked, they noticed Ash was jumping back from the two Zoroark hybrids seeing that they are using their claws on Ash. "Just stand still!" Iris cried out in anger.
"No, way Iris," Ash cried, but he noticed Cilan was missing and found himself tackled from the side by Cilan.
"You see, you can't win, Ash," Iris said with a giggle as she moved over to Cilan. "Not with the two of us together."
"Come on, Ash. You need to think of something," Ash thought, looking at Cilan and Iris and noticed their smiles once more, seeing they are going to attack again. "Great, here we go again."
Soon both Cilan and Iris began running towards Ash as once again they tried using the claws on him, only once again Ash dodged their attacks. "Oh, Ash," Iris said as she giggled as quickly kicked him in the chest.
The force of the kick sent Ash flying back before landing on the ground with a hard thud. "Argh!" he cried out before shaking his head and looking up to Iris and Cilan.
Slowly Ash started to get back to his feet, only for Cilan to knee Ash in the face. "Now that is for hurting my lovely mate," Cilan said, watching Ash shacking it off before looking at the two.
"You should give up, Ash," Iris said with a smile as the Zoroark continued to watch Ash. "Just let us take you and the girl, and then we can free your mind."
"No, I won't. I can't give up not like this," Ash thought before pulling himself to his feet and looking at his two friends. "I will never let that wild part take over, not as it has with you two."
"Hmm, that boy has guts, that's for sure," Jack said with a smile as he laughed and looked at Mallow. "Wouldn't you agree, my dear?" Jack asked, wanting to know what she would think.
Mallow said nothing, knowing that Ash was in trouble but couldn't do much. "Now then Ash, I think we should end this," Cilan added as he looked at Ash and then over at Iris.
However, the two looked at Ash with a smile, which he didn't like. Ash knew that his two friends from Unova are planning something right now, but he didn't know.
Jack continued watching as he began smiling even more than he did before, planning how he could free Ash from his human mind. Jack was thinking about how he could free Ash's mind and show him that this new life is wonderful.
"I don't know why you are trying to fight this?" Jack said, looking at Ash with a clam smile.
Ash, hearing this from Jack, said nothing; all he could think about right now was to leave. "Yeah, I told my friends," Ash said, looking at Iris and Cilan with a frown. "I'm not interested in staying like this."
Iris sighed, hearing this from Ash, knowing that no matter what any of them tell him, it's not going to change his view. Iris then looked at Cilan and then at the girl Ash was trying to keep safe; she wished another female hybrid was here right now.
"Well, it won't matter," Jack said while smiled at Ash, like none of what Ash told him mean anything. "In the end, you shall fail to the virus that's running within you."
Cilan and Iris smiled as they both nodded, looking at Ash. "Oh, that's true so go head Ash leave with the girl," Iris said with a grin on her face as she hugged Cilan. "Sooner or later, you'll give in and infect her."
"She's right; besides… you know all too well that you're starting to take a liking towards her, you just don't wanna admit it."
"No, not now…" he muttered to himself, cursing at the fact the voice was going to distract him from the fight with Iris and Cilan, something he didn't need happening after the moment when he almost completely lost his humanity earlier on.
"Don't you realize that all you're doing is delaying the inevitable?" the voice asked in a mocking tone. "I mean, there's no way you're going to deny that soon you'll start to see the real beauty of being a hybrid."
"And besides," the voice went on, wanting to enjoy the feeling of anger swelling inside of Ash when bringing up something important to the young man from Pallet Town."For all I know, Misty may have already succumbed to the infection by now, and she's probably enjoying her new self as we speak."
As if on cue, Ash's expression started darkening when the voice mentioned Misty. "How dare you try to use Misty's name?" he snapped with a scowl on his face.
Iris giggled as she looked at Cilan and whispered in his ear. "I think I know how to get Ash to our way of thinking, Cilan, my love."
Ash soon watched as Iris moved closer to Cilan and whispered something to him while hearing the voice in his head. "Hmm, true, she must have found someone else to mate with."
"Let's get him, Cilan!" Iris yelled as; they both began running right at Ash, with Ash opening his eyes at his two friends charging right at him.
"You know, I have noticed the look of concern on your face, especially when it comes to Ash Ketchum," began Jack with an evil grin forming as he glanced at Mallow. "I bet you're worried about him, are you... Ha, ha, ha..."
The remark caused Mallow's cheeks to turn bright red. "Wait, What?! I-I... Th-that's not what I'm thinking at all!" she exclaimed, still blushing at the response.
"Oh, come on, I can tell that you like him ever since you first saw him showing up to help you and the relief."
Hearing this from Jack caused Mallow to remain silent, especially considering she's still blushing hadn't gone unnoticed from Bounsweet. 'Is this true, Mallow?' she asked the greenette with concern forming on her face the moment she asked that. 'Have you started taking a liking to this boy?'
"Not you too, Bounsweet," began a still flustered Mallow, not believing what she was her he was hearing coming from her own Pokémon.
"See, even your precious Pokémon figured it out," commented Jack, grinning even more than ever as he looked at Mallow more than ever. "So why can't you?"
There was nothing but silence coming from the greenette as she continued to think about what this hybrid said to her earlier about having feelings for Ash. "Is what he said true?" she asked herself with concern and mixed feelings the more she considered this. "I have developed feelings for this boy who's trying to help me?"
Jack found this to be amusing, even more so when he noticed Bounsweet standing between him and Mallow. 'Don't even think about touching, Mallow!' snapped the female Grass-Type with a stern expression as she glared at the hybrid just in case.
"I must give you credit, little Grass-Type… you do have great courage for trying to stand up to something you have no chance of winning against," he replied, not fazed by the comment. "Still, how can you stand up against a hybrid like me when your Trainer is keeping you from realizing your full potential?"
'You're lying!'
"Oh, am I?" he asked somewhat sarcastically as it was clear that there's more to Bounsweet than meets the eye, and yet there's something amiss that he wished to exploit. "Why don't you ask your human, the one whom you've been trying to protect all this time?"
Mallow looked at the Murkrow hybrid, wondering what he was trying to do with Bounsweet. "It's not true I care for my Bounsweet!" Mallow cried out, looking at the hybrid standing before her.
Jack smiled at this and looked at Mallow and Bounsweet. It was something that the two took great notice of, and it worried them what Jack intended to do next.
"You know it's a shame that you can't see how wonderful it is," Jack said as he sighed, looking at the girl and her Pokémon before placing his wing on his face.
Ash soon cried out as Mallow and Bounsweet looked over to see what had happened; the two saw a claw mark on his side. "Hmm, it seems that he isn't doing so well," Jack said, staring at the three fighting hybrids.
Mallow continued to watch the battle growing more concerned over the battle, knowing Ash wasn't going to last much longer. "There has to be something that we can do and help him," Mallow thought with a frown.
Bounsweet could see Mallow worried as she knew that they couldn't run away thanks to the hybrids telling them not to try it. 'I know there is something we can do, Mallow. We only need to think of it.'
Mallow began biting her nails, thinking what the two could do to help Ash, but Mallow knew their options are not good. "I know Bounsweet."
Ash began standing back to his feet, looking at Cilan and Iris, seeing the two smiling at him. "Please, you two, stop this," Ash said, still not wanting to hurt them, but looked at Mallow.
Ash soon closed his eyes, hearing the voice before he was then immediately tackled to the ground. Once Ash started to open his eyes, he noticed that Iris was sitting on him with a smirk now all over her face making Ash wonder what she is planning.
Mallow watched wonder what the Zoroark hybrid would try and do while Jack had a smile on his face. "Oh, I see what Iris is planning," Jack said with a laugh looking at Cilan. "Are you okay with this?"
Cilan looked at Jack and nodded, knowing it should free Ash and his mind. "Yes, besides, she is already pregnant," he said with a smile as Mallow was shocked to hear about this.
"No, you can't do that!" Mallow cried out, looking at Jack once again. "Why can't you just let us go?!" Mallow cried out, seeing how they acted; she didn't want to become a hybrid.
Bounsweet nodded as she moved closer to her trainer, wanting to keep Mallow safe. 'Yeah, no one wants this!' Bounsweet cried out, getting tired of the smile on Jack's face.
However, Jack played all innocent before getting an idea. "You know, I think I know the perfect hybrid that you can be reborn as my dear," he said, looking at Mallow and then at Bounsweet. "And I'm looking at what you can become."
Mallow wondered what Jack was talking about until she could see what he was looking at, her Bounsweet. Mallow was almost totally confused by what Zack said and why he looked at Bounsweet; knowing what he wanted her to become made Mallow laugh.
"How are you going to do that? There are no grass-type hybrids around here," Mallow said, seeing that Jack was crazy.
However, Cilan began laughing as well, and Ash didn't like it as he tried pushing Iris off, but it didn't work. "Iris, get off me!" Ash cried out, but Iris giggled.
"No, can do, Ash, what you are going to do is watch as that girl joins us," Iris said with a smile on her face before looking at Mallow, seeing the plan that Jack had.
Ash had no idea what Iris was talking about, looking at Cilan and Jack, thinking that one of them would infect her. "No, I need to do something," Ash thought, becoming worried looking at Jack.
"Oh, my dear," Jack said with a smile on his face before he laughed a little. "This virus is an odd thing you see," Jack said, looking at Ash and the others.
"As your hero over there knows, the first part of us being reborn was odd in many ways," Jack began looking at Mallow, who was still confused. "When this happened the first time, it was random, since as your friend knows, it was in the water."
Ash knew Jack was right; it was what caused him to change into what he had become. "I also transformed the same way," Jack added with a grin as he looked at Mallow. "No one knows why we became the Pokémon hybrids we did. As I said, it was random."
Cilan nodded, looking at Jack and then at Ash, who was still held down by Iris, hearing her giggle. "But as we all know, Ash Pokémon also were drinking the water that changed all the people there."
"Wait, what?"
Jack laughed, seeing the look that Ash had on his face. "Oh, yes, any Pokémon drinking the water caused them to fail into a state of rage," Jack said, looking at Ash and then at Mallow and her Pokémon. "And when they attack and bite a human, the human becomes that very same Pokémon."
Iris giggled at this looking at Ash and Mallow. "Then there are us, Ash. You see, a female Zoroark hybrid bit me, and that's what I transformed into, then I did the same to Cilan," Iris said and then pointed to her mate with a smile.
"What are you saying?" Mallow asked, looking at the two.
Iris smiled, hearing the impatient tone that came from Mallow. "Oh, I'm getting to it. You see if from what we have learned, if a male bites you, then you become the very same hybrid like him. And if a female hybrid bites a human male, they too become the same species."
Cilan nodded as he looked at Iris with a smile. "It's what Iris did to me," Cilan said, looking to Ash and then at Mallow. "And the last way is one of us infecting a Pokémon. Like your dear Bounsweet, then she would go crazy and attack the only human around, you."
No one liked what Cilan said as Mallow looked at her Bounsweet. 'I would never do that to Mallow!' she cried and felt angered over what they said, but she heard Iris laughing. 'Argh, I've had it with you,' Bounsweet said before thinking what to do so she can help Ash.
Suddenly Iris felt a sharp pain on her neck, and Ash saw that Bounsweet was doing all she could to make the female Zoroark hybrid let the young man from Pallet Town go. "Damn you!" she screamed before managing to use all her might to get the little Grass-Type off her and angrily proceeded to kick her across the area and onto a nearby tree.
"No, Bounsweet!"
The former Dragon Trainer paid no heed to Mallow's look of dismay and horror as Iris slowly made her way towards the injured Bounsweet, her claws extending like what Ash saw with Meowth of Team Rocket many times before, which meant only one thing. "Now you're going to regret having bitten me…" she said as it seemed she was now preparing to kill the weakened Grass-Type. The greenette ran towards the two, despite the fact she'd just be causing her demise in the process, but she needed to save the poor Pokémon before it's too late.
Ash looked on in shock, knowing that Iris could potentially kill the poor Grass-Type if he didn't act fast. "I'm sorry," he said with a whisper as he used a powerful Thunder Punch on his friends from Unova.
"Ahhhhhhhh!" Iris and Cilan cried out in pain when they got hit by Ash's attack. The two Zoroark hybrids fell on the ground, but their eyes also fell on Ash as; they knew he had been the one responsible for shocking them since Pikachu wasn't by his side and was a hybrid like they were.
The sudden attack was more than enough to allow Mallow to scoop Bounsweet into her arms, and it seemed that the female Grass-Type looked like she's unconscious after being tossed against the tree by Iris earlier. However, she didn't know what to make of what transpired as she noticed that Iris and Cilan were not pleased with what Ash had done to them. "Are you okay?" asked Ash as he approached the greenette and her injured Pokémon.
"Yeah, I think so," said Mallow, still worried because of what transpired and, at the same time, thought about the Thunder Punch attack that Ash unleashed earlier. "How did you do that? Sure, you're a hybrid too, but…"
"To be honest, I'm not sure how I was able to use that attack myself," Ash replied, although they could talk about it late once they're back with Sherry and the other girls back at the cabin. "Come on, let's get out of here!"
"Sorry, but I'm going to let you go that easily!" said Jack, displeased with what Ash had done to Iris and Cilan but was determined to rectify that one way or another.
"Argh, can't we catch a break already!" Ash cried out as he looked at Jack and then at Mallow, hoping to get her away from this mess. "Mallow," Ashe began as the girl looked at him. "When I attack him, you run and don't look back, okay?"
Mallow nodded as she looked at Bounsweet, and she also nodded at what Ash told them. "If you two have finished your little plan," Jack began looking at Mallow with a smile, knowing what he needed to do.
Ash began running to Jack, hoping to hold off the Murkrow hybrid, but he soon noticed Jack flying into the sky. "Aww, nice try, my fellow hybrid," Jack said as he looked at Ash and then noticed Mallow was running.
Jack had a smile as he dived forwards, hoping to get Mallow and her Pokémon. "Soon, I will make them see how great this new life is," Jack thought as he looked over to Ash as he cried out Mallow's name.
Ash Mallow and her Bounsweet as Ash looked back, seeing Jack flying in the air. "What is he doing?" Ash thought, making sure what Mallow was safe from the Murkrow hybrid.
Mallow looked at Ash, still thankful that this hybrid had his human mind, but knew she wasn't safe. "I think we might make it," Mallow said with a smile on her face as she looked at Bounsweet.
Bounsweet nodded with a smile looking at Mallow. 'Yeah, we just need to get to the trees,' Bounsweet said, seeing the trees ahead. 'If we can get there, we should be safe from him,' Bounsweet said, hoping to reach the forest.
Ash continued to look at the two and remembered what he learned from his two friends and Jack. "Damn, Mallow, I think he wants to bite your Bounsweet so that she can infect you!" Ash cried out to her, making Mallow's face turn white.
Mallow didn't like that as she looked at her Bounsweet, seeing the same look of concern. 'Don't worry, Mallow. I won't do that to you.'
Ash nodded as he looked at Jack, seeing he can hold the Murkrow hybrid off to give Mallow the time she needed. "Okay, Mallow, run to the forest. I'll join you when I've dealt with him," Ash said, looking at the flying Jack.
Mallow looked at Ash, unsure about this but knew it was the only thing she could do without getting infected. Without thinking about it, Mallow and Bounsweet ran into the forest, hoping that Ash would join them soon.
Mallow and Bounsweet soon reached the forest as they soon heard Ash fighting the Murkrow hybrid. "I hope that Ash will be okay," Mallow said as she kept running as Bounsweet laughed.
Mallow looked at Bounsweet, hearing her Pokémon laugh. 'I think that you like him, Mallow,' she said with a smile, not taking her eyes off Mallow, who began blushing at what her Pokémon said.
"What!" Mallow cried out, her face going red. "No, it's not like that at all!" Mallow cried out while Bounsweet laughed playfully.
However, Mallow and Bounsweet didn't know that something was watching them both, and it was now waiting for the right moment to attack.
Bounsweet smiled, seeing the blushing that's forming on Mallow's face. 'Oh, I think that you do, Mallow,' Bounsweet said as she teased her trainer and friend.
Mallow sighed as she looked at Bounsweet, both distracted as the female hybrid could hear everything from the two. "Oh, this will be so much fun," the female said with a grin on her face.
The hybrid knew she had to wait for the right moment to attack the green-haired girl called Mallow. "Soon, you shall be reborn, my dear," the hybrid said with a whisper.
The light from the sun soon hit the hybrid that is hiding show that she was a Tsareena. After a while of waiting and hearing the human and her Pokémon talking, the Tsareena smiled, seeing that Mallow turned her back.
"Yes, now I can change her," the Tsareena hybrid said with a smile as she soon jumped out from where she was hiding and jumped on Mallow's back before biting her, thus infecting her.
Mallow cried in pain from the bite that the Tsareena hybrid did to her, and she fell to the ground, knowing what would happen. "No, please, no!" Mallow cried out in fear as she looked at her hands as Mallow saw them begin to turn a dark, fruity purple.
Bounsweet looked at her trainer and the hybrid that had attacked her trainer. 'No, Mallow!' Bounsweet cried out with fear watching as Mallow continued her transformation.
"You should worry she is undergoing her rebirth," the hybrid told the Pokémon with a smile as Mallow cried out watched as more of her skin continued to turn dark purple, traveling up her arms.
"No, please stop this," Mallow said with tears falling from her eyes while the Tsareena hybrid smiled.
Mallow cried out once again, seeing the same dark purple on her legs as she let out a moan. "Ahh feels good," Mallow cried, but she soon covered her mouth over what she said.
Mallow soon kicked off her sneakers only to reveal her featureless feet, turning into mere points she would have to stand on. Mallow began to wonder if, like many others, if she would also lose her mind if she's going to want to mate with Ash.
Bounsweet watched, seeing Mallow's hair changing and becoming more plant-like, if anything, just like the Tsareena hybrid that had attacked Mallow.
Mallow blinked, her eyelashes becoming more luscious as her hips became more voluptuous, the color of her face paling. Mallow felt her waste expanding and turning white.
Mallow stilled cried out before it turned into moans. "Ahh, it feels," Mallow began feeling her breasts which had grown in size.
'No, Mallow, fight it!' Bounsweet cried out to her trainer, hoping Mallow could fight what is happening to her, knowing Mallow needed to fight in keeping her human mind. 'No, Mallow!'
"Ignore her embrace your rebirth," the voice whispered to Mallow as the hybrid looked around to see where it's coming from but found nothing. "Don't worry about anything. Forget about anything and everything; you should now enjoy your rebirth."
"Wait, my rebirth?" Mallow asked, feeling her mind slipping more with each passing moment, and she didn't care.
Hearing the voice giggle within her head, Mallow wanted to know more, but her thoughts also turned to Ash and what she wanted to do. "Yes, your rebirth. Can't you feel it, Mallow, the power that's now running throughout your whole body? Not only that, but you can also mate with Ash."
Hearing his name made Mallow smiled as she nodded her head. "Yes, mate, he helped me, and he saved me," Mallow said as she soon giggled, with her human mind fading as Bounsweet watched this happen.
"Aww, so cute," the Tsareena hybrid said as she looked at the young woman she had infected, happy to help her. "Do you see how good this life is now?"
Mallow nodded as she looked around for Ash, but the new Tsareena hybrid couldn't find her mate. "But where is Ash?" Mallow asked before she remembered what Ash was doing. "Oh my silly mate, but I can wait. I need to free his mind after all."
Bounsweet was growing more worried, but she knew that she had lost Mallow to the virus. 'Mallow, I'm sorry,' Bounsweet said as she looked at Mallow, knowing her trainer was looking for Ash.
However, Mallow smiled as she knew that Ash would join her soon, and then she would mate with him. The Tsareena hybrid that had infected Mallow smiled as she stared at her fellow hybrid, happy to show the former human how magnificent this new life was going to be for her.
Mallow continued to smile as she removed her clothes, knowing that all she needed to do right now was merely wait for Ash to deal with Jack. "Yes," Mallow said with a giggle. "Once Ash comes, we can have fun together, and he will become my mate. And I will also free him from that human mind he still has."
Mallow smiled, thinking about her soon-to-be mate, but knew that other females might like Ash too, and remembered what Iris and Jack said about him having other mates.
For now, Mallow knew she could wait. After all, she knew that they had all the time in the world as Mallow giggled playfully.
A/N few another chapter done, and as you can see, Mallow has sadly fallen victim to the virus, and she also wants to mate with Ash. So, yeah, we have another mate for Ash added to the mix.
Sorry for the wait on this chapter, mainly with Mallow's transformation that was a difficult one. I would also like to give a big thanks to betrayed666 on the hybrid that Mallow should become.
The next chapter will have Ash vs. Jack, and that's all I will tell you, my dear readers. So, until next time, please leave me a review and let me know what you think.
