Chapter 16: Ash or Ashley?

After a short trip with their flying Pokemon, Ashley and Gary landed back into Celadon City. Ashley felt a little nervous of going into the Celadon Gym not knowing what Erika is wanting, so she held one hand with Gary. The two Pokemon Masters entered into the Gym.

But now it is Gary’s turn to be the one scared. He remembered being in the place getting the 4th Pokemon Badge before Ashley did. Gary was usually brave, but the girls felt hostile toward him. Well the girls have not changed their attitude toward Gary and were staring at him. Ashley stepped in frond of Gary to make sure none of the girls would hurt him. The boy held a Pokeball in his hand just in case if one of the girls tried to hurt him or challenge him.

Finally the two stopped in front of the girl with short black hair and a Kimono on named Erika: Gym Leader of Celadon Gym. “I see you got my message Ashley, welcome back” said Erika. Then Erika notice Gary behind Ashley. “And I see you brought someone me and the other girls remember all too well” said Erika with fire in her eyes and started stepping forward along with the other girls.

“Please don’t hurt him Erika! He has changed for the better, trust me!” protested Ashley toward Erika.

Erika stopped and ordered the other girls to stop as well. She thought of what Ashley said and looked at her face and body carefully. “You seem to speak the truth Ashley, I do trust your judgment” said Erika, “But back to business, I bet you are wondering why I asked you to come” Ashley nodded yes to Erika. “The reason I had you come Ashley is that I finally have a cure for you to become a normal boy again, do you want the cure?” asked Erika.

After hearing the news from Erika, Ashley now had to reach a decision in her life. She thought about the time when she was still a boy before she became a girl. She remembered Gary being as harsh to her as a rival so focused of being the next Pokemon Master. Then she remembers of the times after she became a girl and how much has changed between her and Gary. Gary treated her with much kindness not just because she is a girl, but also realizing that they are both good trainers and both treat their Pokemon with care. And also they worked to together and reached the same goal at the same time, a record in Pokemon history. After gathering her own thoughts, Ashley reached her final decision.

"No thanks, I'm happy being a girl. Besides, call it woman's
intuition
but, if I was guy and I had a relationship with a girl I feel I'd just
keep
switching chicks. But as a girl there's only one guy for me and that's
Gary" said Ashley with a happy grin on her face. Gary smiled from Ashley’s decision and gave a happy smile as well.

Erika was shocked from Ashley’s response that she wants to remain female, even though having her female as suppose to be a punishment and teach her a lesson. Erika still wide-eyed finally was able to speak “Are you really sure you want to stay a girl the rest of your life?” asked Erika.

“Yep, I’m sure Erika!” shouted Ashley cheerfully.

“I see, well that’s all I needed for you today Ashley, you may go now” said Erika.

Ashley was beginning to walk out the Gym. But then a light bulb shined on top Gary’s head. He blocked Ashley’s way. Ashley was confused what Gary wanted. So the two whispered to each other and nodded a little of whatever they are talking about. Erika was confused what was going on between the two Pokemon Masters. Then Ashley turned around and faced Erika again and looked at her.

“What is it now?” wondered Erika. Then Ashley pulled out a Pokemon and released her Hitmonchan from it. The girls stared at the Male Pokemon and giggled a little of a Male Pokemon wearing a skirt. Hitmonchan blushed in embarrassment.

Erika looked at the Pokemon and tried to hold in her giggles to try to look professional and looked back at Ashley. “And what do you want me to do with this Hitmonchan?” questioned Erika.

Ashley smiled and then spoke up, “Well Erika, I was wondering if you still have that female formula” asked Ashley.
“Yes I do, what you want me to do with it?” asked Erika.
“I want you to use that formula to make this Hitmonchan female” requested Ashley.

Erika again was wide-eyed of Ashley’s new request. “As you wish Ashley” said Erika. Then the Gym Leader pulled out a needle with the female formula. Erika kept the formula on hand this in case if a male was causing her or the other girls any trouble. The Erika walked over the Hitmonchan who showed no fear of the needle. Then Erika gently placed the needle in the Hitmonchan’s arm and forces the formula in the blood stream and then gently pulled the needle out.

The 3 waited to see what would happen with Hitmonchan. But they did not need to wait for long. Hitmonchan started to lose weight all over his body. He also then gained more height and reached the height of Ashley. Then Hitmonchan felt his manhood disappeared down there. Then nice sized breasts grew on Hitmonchan’s chest. And finally the face on Hitmonchan softens up like a girl’s.

Hitmonchan now a she was surprised of her changes around her whole body. “I’m…I’m…female” said Hitmonchan in a soft girl’s voice. “Oh my gosh! I can talk as well!” said Hitmonchan surprised.

Ashley, Gary, Erika and the all the girls were very shocked that a Pokemon could actually talk. “This is an interesting result from my formula, my guess it seems that Hitmonchan is part human now” said Erika trying to calm herself.
“I agree with you Erika, but at least Hitmonchan will not have the be embarrassed having a skirt on” said Ashley.

“Indeed Ashley, but I rather you call me Helen” said Helen the Hitmonchan.

“Well, I think that should wrap things up for an interesting day, let’s go home Ashley and Helen” said Gary. The two agreed on the idea. All of them waved good bye the Erika and she waved back at them and gave them the formula to study on since Gary is the grandson of Professor Oak. Then Ashley and Gary used fly and head back to Pallet Town.

Their first stop was at Professor Oak’s Pokemon Lab. The Professor was shocked to see a Hitmonchan actually being female instead of its usually male self. Then the Pokemon Masters told the whole story. Oak agreed to study Helen and the formula they brought back.

After some long testing, Oak came up with the results. He discovered the formula was met to be used on humans and since it was used on a Pokemon, it gave her human DNA and the ability to speak and think like a human. Oak made a new term to call Helen a Pokemorph, a creature that is half Pokemon and half human.

When this discovery was made, Ashley wanted some changes to Helen’s life. Ashley asked her mother if Helen can be her sister since Helen has no family to live with. After some thinking her mother agreed and later all the legal papers were signed make Helen an official member of the Ketchum family.

Then after some time of listening to Ashley and Gary’s adventures, she began to take interest to becoming a Pokemon trainer herself. So the couple helps Helen to register her to be a Pokemon Trainer. Helen got the last Pokemon Charmander as her starter Pokemon.

Ashley asked if Helen needed anyone to be with her in the journey. Helen said she will be fine, if she needed help she would use the cell phone her mother gave her. So Helen said her good byes to her family and Gary and went off to start her journey.

Ashley and Gary were happy to see someone take interest in their field. And for now they will lead a more normal life, besides still training with their Pokemon. They did not want to go on another adventure yet. And so everyone lived happily ever after.

The End
