            “… How did his happen?” Lance asks in disbelief, staring at Ash as the Pallet trainer nuzzles his head into his lap. He still looks mostly human, which is a plus, but the little Pikachu-shaped ears and tail belie the truth.

            Misty gulps. “Well, I gave him a coupon to a pet shop.”

            “And they were running illegal experiments?”

            “Um, actually, it’s all perfectly legal.” Misty says. “I can take you there if you want!”

            “I think that would be wise,” Lance states, before following her outside. A quick flight to Gringy City, a duck down an inconspicuous alleyway, and then he stands in a street full of shops he’s never seen before. The area hums with magic, as he feels his wards prickle. Still, he’s a Guardian, and well protected, though Ash is not – Destiny hasn’t woken yet.

            The clerk that greets him at the entrance of Furries 4U is quite polite, and patient, and she explains that they don’t force these transformations and Ash wanted to do this. Lance accepts her words as truth, since he can’t feel the Scales tipping in his mind, and if Ash wants to spend the rest of his life as a pampered Pikachu, well, that’s his choice to make.

            They spend a few minutes picking up accessories, and afterwards, Ash cuddles Lance, while no one says a word. Interesting.

            It seems there’s some sort of ‘Notice-me-not’ spell on the boy, and when he asks Lorelei, she’s absolutely convinced that Ash has always been his pet, and yes, he is Champion of the Johto League.

            He’s feeding Ash bits of sharp cheddar cheese and apples, and deciding that maybe, maybe, this situation isn’t that bad, and he can grow used to it.

            Maybe.

 

End Fic

I admit I’ve been reading WAY too many BE Archive threads about Ranma getting Sailor Senshi and other girls turned into pets…

I know; I summarized instead of writing a long fic. I was bored. Not with the pairing of course, but teaching little kids karate saps all of my intellect and patience away.
