In a week Ash had gotten all the finer points of being a girl down. They all went back to Slateport to participate in the tournament. Well Lewis was there for support.

After the tournament commenced the semi finalists were, Alysha, Karen, Misty, and another girl named Alison.

Alysha easily beat Alison and Misty’s mainly water team beat Karen’s mainly dark team in the end.

“Well Alysha. It’s just you an me now,” Misty said.

“Go Stary!” Misty yelled calling out her Star Pokemon.

“Bayleef I choose you!” Ash yelled and sent out his grass pokemon.

The four on four match was about to begin.

Misty’s Staryu took out Bayleef with a Ice Beam attack. Bayleef was recall and Noctowl was brought out. Noctowl easily dodged the Ice Beams and took out Staryu. Misty then sent out Politoad and Politoad took out Noctowl with a Double Slap and some Water Guns. Ash brought out Bulbasaur who took out Politoad with a Razor Leaf. Bulbasaur was then taken out by Misty’s next Pokemon, Goldduck. Goldduck could do know good however against Ash’s powerful Pikachu. Misty then sent out Thundy.

“Use Sweet Kiss Thundy!” Misty yelled and Thundy looked sweetly at Pikachu and demanded a kiss. This confused Pikachu.

“Now use Charm!” Misty yelled. Pikachu was rendered helpless.

“Finish it off with Attract!” Misty yelled knowing she would win.

Thundy rendered Pikachu helpless and Ash had to give up.

“And the winner is Misty!” the referee yelled.

“The judges have looked over the semi finals and this battle. The three lucky girls who get to star in the movie are… Misty Rheum, Karen Giovanni, and Alysha Ketchum!” the announcer said. Misty, Karen, and Ash all jumped up happy. But Lewis in the crowd didn’t look that happy.

“What’s the matter bro?” Karen asked Lewis once everyone was back together.

“I thought the timeline was fine but something is happening,” Lewis said.

“What’s happening?” Ash asked.

“I’ll use a rubber band to show you. Now what is happening the timeline is being stretched to allow these new things to happen. Sooner of later either this timeline is going to snap back to normal, or snap apart and have this timeline exist no more,” Lewis said explaining while holding a rubber band up.

“So how do we stop it?” Misty asked worried.

“Well for one thing neither of you are supposed to be in this movie. In the real timeline we should have been we would have in another town. And Ash is supposed to be a boy. If the timeline snaps back to normal the Ash we know will be replaced with a very similar Ash. If the timeline snaps apart all of us would cease to exist,” Lewis explained.

“So we have to say we can’t go in the movie and we need to get Ash to a boy again,” Karen said trying to get things straight.

“Yes but there is another thing that might come true. The “rubber band” might expand and adapt to the changes and become normal as they are now. Making so that Ash could never become a boy again,” Lewis said downtrodden.

“How long do we have?” Ash asked very worried.

“It may have already happened,” Lewis answered, “So we need to get to Mr. Warren’s now.”

“Right,” everyone said and they teleported {I wish I could teleport!}

“Mr. Warren? It’s Karen and Lewis! We brought some friends!” Karen yelled and knocked on his cottage in the middle of dense woods.

“Hello Karen, Lewis, Ash, Misty,” Mr. Warren said. He opened the door and everyone including the Pokemon walked in.

“So you need to know if Ash here can become a boy, and if so can I help him?” Mr. Warren said.

“Well the answer to those two in the same order are yes, and no. He can become a boy but not by me. You have to visit the old lady where you were changed. If she agrees to change you then that’s your good luck. She may flat out refuse to change you or the most likely thing she’ll tell you to get her something,” Mr. Warren answered while looking over some of his potions.

“Well at least I’m not trapped like this,” Ash said looking down at his girl body.

“You only have twenty-four hours. I suggest you get moving. And don’t worry about the confusing bits of all the change. I’ll take care of that,” Mr. Warren said and showed them the door.

“Well let’s see,” Karen said and found out where the old lady’s house was. They teleported there and found themselves staring at woods.

“Well this is just peachy!” Ash yelled sarcastically.

“Hold on,” Lewis said. He put his hand out and walk forward. He touched something and made his away along it. His hand grasped something and he opened a door, revealing the interior.

“That’s it!” Ash and Misty yelled and walk through the door followed by everyone else. Togepi happily napped in Misty’s bag.

“Well, well, well. Look who’s here. It’s Alysha and Misty,” an old lady said holding a orange potion.

“You know what we want,” Ash said determined.

“Yes I do. I might give it to you but that wouldn’t be that much fun,” the old lady said putting the potion back up on a shelf.

“You want something for it? Well what do you want?” Misty asked.

“So eager? Well that just makes it so much more enjoyable. You want something precious, so you must give me something precious. I want your Pikachu,” the old lady said holding out her hand smiling evilly.

“I’d never give you my Pikachu! He’s my friend!” Ash yelled with Pikachu jumping on her shoulder, sparks erupting from his cheeks.

“So you would rather live through life as a girl then give up your precious Pikachu?” the old lady asked eyeing the pair.

“Yes,” Ash said after a moment of silence.

“You know in movies and such I would be moved by this and give you the potion anyways. But this isn’t a movie so goodbye!” the old lady yelled and pointed to the door.

“No! I came here to get something done and I will get it done!” Ash yelled.

“And to get it done I want your Pikachu. I am not a compromising woman. A powerful Pikachu could help me get some more potions done,” the old lady said and got up.

“I’d never give you Pikachu!” Ash yelled, tears running down her face.

“Even if I cursed you some more?” the old lady smiled wickedly, “I can see by your face that you didn’t think of that.”

“You wouldn’t dare!” Ash yelled.

“I would. Now let’s see. What would have it so you would give me your Pikachu? Maybe this and this, and that, and those,” the old lady said and gathered up some potions. She got a large mixing bowl from a shelf and began to mix these liquids up making a brownish liquid that smelled like peaches oddly enough.

“Here we go. This will make you want to give your Pikachu up,” she said and sniffed the potion.

“I’ll never drink it!” Ash yelled.

“Oh that’s okay. I can make you drink it. But aren’t you curious to what it does?” the old lady asked holding the potion up.

“I guess…” Ash said.

“It has many attributes. One is that you will become irresistible to most boys. That would be horrible for you. Another is that you will always look pretty. So no matter what you eat, do, or anything you can’t ruin your figure which means the first attribute is even more effective. Another will start to make you think like a girl, and another will make you think your name is Alysha and not Ash. Some simple enough potions mixed to create a powerful one. Now if you don’t give me that Pikachu you will be forced to drink it. If you do you will become a boy again. I will give you five minutes to think about it,” the old lady said and walked into an adjacent room.

Ash just fell down on the floor stunned. He couldn’t give up Pikachu! But on the other hand…

“(Ash! You can’t do this to yourself. Give me up! I’d rather see you as you once were for only a minute then like this forever),” Pikachu said hopping into Ash’s lap.

“Is there any other way to change Ash back?” Misty asked worried looking over to Lewis and Karen.

“We would need a physic three times more powerful then Sabrina. Sabrina is the strongest physic too so the answer would be no,” Karen said.

No one had noticed Thundy was no longer with them.

A.N. Where did Thundy go? What will Ash choose? Well you’re gonna have to read the next part to find out!
