Ash and Dawn lead Cynthia out of the tomb, which may have been a mistake, as the moon was showing brightly now. Cynthia tripped over, and cried in pain, fighting the change.

"CHHAAAAAAAA!"

Cynthia's back arched, as her coat ripped, and revealed yellow fur with brown stripes. A thunderbolt tail popped out of her pants, as her shoes split apart.

"CYNTHIA! STAY WITH US!" said Ash, "PLEASE!"

However, when Cynthia's hair was pulled in, it revealed a giant Pikachu, as the last few pieces of clothing fell off.

"Pika!"

The Were-Pikachu waved at the two, and ran off into the night.

"NO! COME ON!"

Ash and Dawn ran into the night, with Pikachu and Piplup ahead, calling out to the Were-Pikachu. The Were-Pikachu thought it was a game, and hid in some bushes. Ash and Dawn arrived at the spot, and looked around.

"Where is she?" asked Dawn.

Just then, the Were-Pikachu popped out, and cried, "PIKA!"

Ash and Dawn jumped back, as the Were-Pikachu laughed, and helped them up.

"Cynthia, please, don't do that," said Dawn.

"Cynthia," said Pikachu, "We want to help you."

The Were-Pikachu just sparked it's cheeks playfully. It then ran around the group, before nuzzling each of them. Ash was licked on the cheek, as the Were-Pikachu said, "Pika Pi, Pikachu Pika Pikachu."

Just then, large arms came down, and grabbed the Were-Pikachu.

"Prepare for t-"

Team Rocket was cut off by the Were-Pikachu shocking them, and blasting their balloon.

"How!? We had electric resistant metal!" said Meowth.

"Let's just get it over with."

"WE'RE BLASTING OFF AGAIN!"

The Were-Pikachu then took off once more, as Ash and Dawn chased it. After absorbing all the power in an electronics store, the Were-Pikachu took a nap. Going in a circle, it gently laid down, sleeping peacefully. Ash and Dawn arrived, and saw the Were-Pikachu asleep.

"Well, seems Cynthia got her fill," said Dawn.

"Let's hope she goes back to normal in the morning," said Ash.

Pikachu looked at some books that Ash brought, and was reading them through and through.

"Man, this is gonna be an all nighter," said Pikachu.

"Pikachu, please," said Ash, "I don't you to push yourself."

"Take a rest," said Dawn, "I'm sure everything will be fine in the morning."

"Piplup."

Pikachu looked at his team, and jumped into Ash's lap, saying, "Fine, but we are getting answers in the morning."

The Team fell asleep, and leaned agains the Were-Pikachu.


Morning came, and Cynthia awoke to find herself naked, and on the ground.

She saw Ash and Dawn sleeping peacefully. Just then, Cynthia looked behind her, and saw she still had a tail. However, there was one big difference: It was flat. There was no heart shape tip.

Cynthia then screamed, waking everyone up, and they all saw Cynthia's tail.

"Oh no! Why did I have to be wrong!?"

"Pika Pikachu P-"

Cynthia covered her mouth with her hands. She uncovered it, as she said, "Chaaaaaa."

"Oh no," said Pikachu, "It seems that Cynthia's transformation is getting worse! She must be turning into me!"

Pikachu noticed that Ash, Dawn and Piplup were looking at him.

"What?" asked Pikachu, before looking at himself.

His body looked to be a bit longer, and developed like a woman's a bit. The fur on his head also kind of resembled Cynthia's.

Pikachu then screamed, as he said, "OH THIS IS EVEN WORSE THAN I THOUGHT! I'M TURNING INTO CYNTHIA AS SHE'S TURNING INTO ME!"

"Pikachu, Pika Pikachu Pi Pika?"

"Yes, this could be a sign that it's permanent! Although, I could get used to these legs. Wait, NO!"

Pikachu then slapped himself, getting his thoughts straight.

"So, how do we reverse this!?" asked Ash.

"Maybe, we should pay Arceus a visit," said Pikachu.
