Chapter 13: Ashichu to the Rescue!

As Misty and the others continued watching, Ash's mind started to reel from the revelation that he was now stuck as a Pokemon forever.

"This is it. Even if I do save the world, my life is over. I can't be with Misty and how am I supposed to face anyone at all?"Ash thought to himself, before Pikachu bounded over, and Ash an encouraging lick to his fur.

"Pikapi pika." his Pikachu answered. ("It's alright, Ash. We're still together, and we've been through worse before. We'll find a way through this.")

Nodding as a sign of feeling better, Ashichu then stood back up in a battle pose, staring down Malladus. "Well, do you have anything left to say?"

"Well, I see you've got your resolve back, Chosen One. Let's get this over with, then. My prize is waiting." Malladus said with interest.

"Well, I'm not gonna let that happen. Not now, not in a million years!"

"That's more like it! That's the determination I expected from Lugia's Chosen One! Now, go Charizard!"

"Bayleef, Totodile, Cyndaquil, Pikachu, come on!" Ashichu said to his Pokemon, as he stared down one of his most steadfast and powerful original Pokemon. The small human turned Pichu then dashed forward with a Volt Tackle, while Totodile fired a Water Gun into the electrical barrier, powering it. Pikachu then fired a Thunderbolt into the barrier, extending its range, as Bayleef and Cyndaquil added their power with their attacks. Celebi then made the attack complete by sending a concentrated Aura attack at Malladus. "Arceus's Condemnation!" The attack hit, and destroyed the Dragon Pokemon and the crazed mastermind behind the whole endeavor.

"It's over." Krystal said in relief, looking at Misty, Brock, and Gary. However, they also saw Professor Oak keeled over appearing dead on the floor of the battlefield.

"Gramps!" Gary cried out.

"It was the force of that attack. He couldn't withstand it, and neither could Malladus." Krystal explained. "That monster is gone now, and nothing can bring him back."

"But still, what about me and Ash? How are we supposed to be together now?" Misty said sadly.

"You love him don't you?"

"More than anyone else."

"I can replicate the spell that transformed Ash, so that you can be with him. Just know that when it's done, there's no going back." Misty nodded to this, confirming that her decision was final. Closing her eyes, Krystal then started chanting, transforming Misty into a small, yellow-furred mouse Pokemon. When Misty opened her eyes, she was now a Pichu, with no visible signs she had been human, aside from her headband sticking her hair back into a ponytail. The two Pichus then toddled over to each other, tackling into a hug, giving chirruping squeaks of joy, as Pikachu looked over them.

"As for the rest of you, you will be transported back to where you were before. This will be the last time we meet. Farewell." Krystal said, as she and Celebi teleported the human group to Pallet Town, while the group of Pokemon were escorted off by Krystal, Celebi, and Mew itself, to a new life as a big Pokemon family.

EPILOGUE

Some time has passed since the events regarding Malladus. Despite what Gary and Brock and everyone present at the scene thought, Oak managed to survive the brunt of the Arceus's Condemnation attack, and appointed Gary to be his new protoge around the lab and his representative outside of the Kanto region. Sometimes Gary reflects about Ash and Misty, and wonders what has become of their new lives.

As many people may remember, Brock retired his position of Gym Leader of Pewter City, heading into the world as a professional Pokemon Breeder. He still remains in touch with Ash's old friends and family.

The effects of Ash's adventure and the impact of Krystal and Celebi's magic on him and his friends also expanded, leading to revolutionary discoveries in the far-off region of Unova. As it turns out, that exact region was where Ash, Misty, Pikachu and their other Pokemon currently made their home. It is there, in the place known as Nuvema Town, that they meet three young children who lead them someday on a new adventure. Those children were Cheren, Bianca, and Black.

And that's the end of the story. As it has been implied by the ending, I'm thinking about someday doing a sequel adventure. However, with the sequel, it will mash up both the manga and anime versions of Pokemon Black and White. Thanks for reading, and remember to review!
