It was morning when Cynthia had managed to return the call. Cynthia was told what happened, and Ash asked, "What happened?"
"I don't know," said Cynthia, "I was just heading to the League, when everything went black. Next thing I know, I'm waking up in my bed."
"That's weird," said Dawn.
"I wonder if the challenger is still at the league," said Cynthia, "I never meant to disappoint anyone. I should probably head off to see the challenger."
Cynthia then left with her Pokémon, and headed to the League. Ash and Dawn headed to Cynthia's home, and sat down, taking notes.
"So, this Were-Pikachu seems strong," said Ash, "Even went and gave Garchomp a really hard hit. Even gave her a paralyze condition."
"It also seemed to be pretty hostile," said Dawn, "maybe because Garchomp attacked first. You said that Were-Pikachus are usually docile towards other humans and Pokémon?"
"Yeah. Wait, where is Pikachu?"
Pikachu had found something. Piplup was also looking at the clue.
"Pika Pikachu! Pika Pi Pikachu Pi!"
"Lup, Piplup! Pip Piplup!"
The two trainers found the Pokémon, and saw the clue: Muddy Tracks!
"Tracks!" said Dawn, "But, why are there mud tracks here?"
"Dawn, look!"
The tracks started at the screen door, and lead down the hall.
"Why would these tracks go inside?" asked Dawn.
Slowly, the four followed down the hall, and looked a the tracks. Slowly, they started to change. The toes started getting less sharp and more round, and two extras appeared, as the tracks started appearing.
"No, it can't be," said Ash.
The two stopped, seeing the tracks turning to the right, into a bedroom. The Master Bedroom. Slowly, the two opened it up, to see the room a mess. There were some scorch marks from a bolt of electricity, and something on the floor.
"IT IS!" said Dawn, as she saw a ripped night gown.
At the League, Cynthia had defeated another trainer, and was looking at the setting sun.
"The Were-Pikachu should be coming out soon," she said, "I'd better call Dawn and Ash."
However, the doors burst open, as Ash and Dawn charged through, with the staff calling for them to come back.
"Cynthia! Thank Arceus!" said Dawn, "We need to get out of here!"
"Ash? Dawn? Is something wrong?" asked Cynthia.
"We'll explain along the way!" said Ash.
The two then ran off, leading Cynthia towards her home, and making sure to take any short cut they could. However, one trail was blocked off. And then, a claw came down, and grabbed Pikachu.
"PIKA!"
"PIKACHU!"
"Prepare for trouble."
"And make it double."
"To protect the world from devistation!"
"To unite all people within our nation!"
"To denounce the evils of truth and love!"
"To extend our reach to the start above!"
"Jessie!"
"And James!"
"Team Rocket blasts off at the speed of light!"
"Surrender now, or prepare for a fight!"
"Meowth, that's right!"
"Wobbuffet!"
"Of course it's you!" said Ash, "Let Pikachu go!"
"Why would we do that?" asked Jessie.
"Giving him back?" asked James, "Why we wouldn't."
"Just stand there, while we're out of reach, and-"
Before Meowth could finish his taunt, a Thunder Bolt appeared, and made the balloon explode! The basket was destroyed, and Pikachu landed safely into Ash's arms. Team Rocket fell onto the ground, with Wobbuffet landing right on top of the pile.
"How did that happen!?" exclaimed Jessie.
Dawn turned to Cynthia, as she stood there, in shock of what happened.
"Oh no," whispered Ash.
Cynthia looked at everyone, as a pair of red dots appeared on her cheeks.
"What the heck?" asked James.
"It's true," whispered Dawn, as Cynthia looked at her hand. Slowly, her fingers grew smaller, and her hands turned bright yellow with fur. Cynthia's other hand had just followed suit, and she groaned a bit.
Piplup hid into Dawn's chest, unable to look at the sight. Pikachu hid in Ash's pack, not wanting to watch either.
Cynthia's body grew larger, as her nose turned into a small black nose, and she felt something in her rear. Turning a bit, a bulge appeared, pressing against her trousers. After a few seconds, the bulge burst out, revealing a long tail, shaped like a Thunder Bolt!
"Pikachu!" cried Cynthia in shock.
Team Rocket looked at the others, who just shrugged.
Cynthia's shoes started bulging, before they burst apart, revealing yellow feet, with three sharp toes. Her legs started tearing the pants legs apart, revealing patches of yellow fur. All the while, she was moaning out Pikachu, as her voice got higher pitched.
Slowly, Cynthia grew taller, with her hair disappearing, and the clips falling off. Her ears moved to the top of her head, as it grew larger and rounder. The stubs then shot out into long narrow ears, with black tips as well. The scarf then undid itself, and fell off. Cynthia's coat was straining, and the tear drop pearl burst off, as her under shirt ripped from the neck down.
Team Rocket had just gotten up, when there were two more rips, and Cynthia's lineage shot off of her body, and hit Jessie and James in the face. Meowth laughed, as Jessie and James pulled down the undergarments. They were about to retort, only for the fully transformed Cynthia to rip off her shirt and coat, letting out a loud, "PIKACHU!"
Team Rocket then screamed, as the Were-PIkachu glared right at them.
"WOBBUFFET, PLEASE SAVE US!"
The Were-Pikachu then unleashed a Thunder Bolt, and Wobbuffet used Counter, only, the Thunder Bolt didn't hit the Were-Pikachu, it hit a tree branch, and landed on Team Rocket. With victory, the Were-Pikachu let out a "PIKA-CHUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!" while also shooting a bolt of electricity into the sky.
Soon, the Were-Pikachu stopped, and looked at Ash and Dawn, who backed up in fear, and tripped. The Were-Pikachu then looked at them, and nuzzled them gently.
"CHAAAAAAAAAAAA!" cooed the Were-Pikachu.
"Um, this is... this is a bit weird," said Dawn.
Pikachu and Piplup then turned to see the giant Pikachu just inches away from them. Ash and Dawn then got up, and walked back, to see if what was once Cynthia, Archaeologist and Sinnoh Champion, would follow them. She did, and Ash said, "We should get her home."
Just then, the lights in the nearby town came on, and caught the attention of the Were-Pikachu.
"Pika!" said Cynthia in awe.
"N-No, come this way plea-"
The Were-Pikachu then picked up the humans, and threw them onto her back, as she took off into the night, sprinting towards the town to absorb more electricity!
Team Rocket slowly pushed the branch off of them, and looked around. On the ground, was the ripped up clothing of Cynthia, and Jessie said, "Well, why go after a little bitty Pikachu, when we can get a bigger one?"
"Jessie, that's crazy! Wobbuffet's Counter didn't even send the bolt back!" said James, "That thing will kill us if not careful!"
"Yeah," said Meowth, "And regular Pikachu's Thunder Bolts are shocking enough, we don't need a Super-Charged Pikachu shocking us!"
"Well then," said Jessie, darkly, "We take her when she's defenseless, and away from her Pokémon."
