As requested, a Pokemon Fanfiction! Let me know if you like this!

Hit By Confusion.

Fennekin and Pikachu race on ahead as Ash and Serena franticly follow behind.

Approaching the dark opening of the cave in front of them, they all stop and peer cautiously inside.

“You defiantly saw it come this way!?” Ash asks Pikachu, giving his Pokémon partner a look of pure determination.

“Pika!” Pikachu responds, giving a confident nod.

Just as Ash looks like he’s about to rush inside, Serena puts her hand on his shoulder to stop him.

“Wait Ash,” She says, clearly unsure about going inside. “Is it …….safe?”

Giving Serena a playful wink, Ash forms a fist with one hand.

“Only one way to find out,” he playfully laughs, running recklessly into the dark.

Pikachu and Fennekin quickly follow in behind.

Serena is left at the entrance of the cave alone and a little annoyed.

“Ash…..!” she whines, nervously following into the darkened cave.

Slowly catching up, but still unable to see, Serena bumps into Ash from behind.

“ARRGGHH,” she cries, making them all jump up in fright!

“Serena!” Ash giggles, calming himself down. “Don’t do that!”

“Sorry,” She replies, bashfully looking away.

“Fennekin?” Ash then asks, renewed in vigor. “Can you light up the cave using your flame?”

Bursting out of Fennekin's mouth comes an intense flamethrower. It lights up the cave for just enough time for ash to find a stick and make a torch from it.

Holding the torch about his head, he looks around the damp uninviting cave.

“I don’t like this Ash!” Serena worries, shivering.

“Don’t sweat it!” he quickly replies. “We’ve got to find this rogue Alakazam! It can’t keep messing with the village. Plus, I’m sure Pikachu can handle it!”

“Still!” Serena complains, stamping her foot. “It’s cold in here and wet and iky!”

“You wanna hold the torch?” Ash replies, holding it out towards her with a grin.

“No,” she whines, “I just want you to understand that I’m cold!”

“Girls….,” Ash mutters under his breath while taking steps forward!

“I heard that,” Serena gripes, reluctantly following behind.

After a few minutes, the gang stumbles across a large clearing in the cave. The four of them huddle together as feint noises can be heard in the darkness in front of them.

“Ash…….?” Serena worries, pushing up against him. “Whats that…….!?”

In the darkest corner, a purple-hazed figure can be seen moving slowly. Like a person-shaped object gently floating in mid-air.

Focusing hard, Ash and Pikachu stand in front of Serena and Fennekin.

“Stay back,” Ash commands, throwing his hand up to stop Serena from coming forward.

Not wanting Ash to belittle her, Serena flicks her long hair back and forms fists with her hands.

“No way!” Serena confidently retorts, signaling for Fennekin forward. “We’re a team!”

Ready for battle, they take anxious steps closer and closer.

From out of the darkness hovers a larger-than-normal Alakazam. Clearly, in distress, it looks tired and worn.

“This is the one,” Ash yells, giving Pikachu the nod to engage in a battle.

Serena then stands one step in front of Ash commands Fennekin forward.

“We are a team Ash,” she says with determination.

Not wanting to admit it to her, Ash is very concerned for Serena’s safety. He doesn’t think a girl like her should even be helping.

Roughly grabbing her arm, Ash pulls Serena back and almost trips her over doing so.

As Serena is pulled behind him, she growls and gives him a dirty look

“What are you doing!?” she complains, brushing her long hair from her face.

“You’re a girl,” Ash says, thinking he’s being her knight in shining amour. “I don’t want you to get hurt!”

“Ash Ketchum!” she blurts out, smacking him on the arm. “Just because I’m a girl, that doesn’t mean I can’t do what you do!”

Ignoring her, Ash turns his attention back to the battle. So far the Alakazam hasn’t moved!

As Ash begins to command Pikachu, the Alakazam's spoons twist and turn.

The air within the cave becomes heavy and dense. The walls appear to twist and bend.

Moments later, Both Ash and Serena are frozen still on the spot. Neither can move!

The Alakazam had focused its attention on them, rather than on Pikachu or Fennekin.

Both feel intense pressure on their bodies. It’s as if the Alakazam is reaching into their souls and twisting them for its own enjoyment.

Pikachu and Fennekin rush to their sides, as both Ash and Serena completely glaze over.

Pikachu turns to the Alakazam and starts charging an attack, as neither Serena nor Ash move.

Pikachu’s cheeks spark and arc with lightning. The cave lights up with a bright yellow ting and Alakazam backs away.

Waving its arms around in a circle, Pikachu comes close and is ready to discharge a supercharged thunderbolt.

A flash of Purple follows the cracking thunder of Pikachu's attack.

As the bolt strikes the cave wall behind the Alakazam, a huge cloud of dust enveloped them all and they are unable to see.

Eventually, the dust settles and the group can see once more. Unfortunately, Pikachu’s attack missed the Alakazam, as teleported away.

“Where’s it gone?” Ash asks, then instantly recoiling at the sound of his voice.

Coughing and clearing his throat, he realizes he feels a little strange. Not like himself at all.

He feels cold, exposed, and like he’s got a wig on his head.

That’s when he realizes he’s behind all of them, at the back of the group.

“W-whats….g-going on…?” he squeaks, his voice still very different. Very feminine.

Holding his mouth at the sounds coming from it, Ash looks down in terror as he feels his clothes unusually flapping in a gentle breeze.

Slowly looking down at himself, he freezes in terror at the sight before him.

Wrapped around his body is a tight black girl's top. Puffing out from his waist is a pleated red skirt!

The same sort of top and pleated skirt that Serena wears!

“ARGH!” a familiar male voice screeches, causing Ash’s attention to focus on the noise.

Ash is even more terrified when he sees a person who looks exactly like him, freaking out. He has to take a second look to ensure he isn't seeing things.

“What's with my voice!” the person screams and fails around. “Why do I sound like a boy!?”

Their eyes meet and for one second, the two just stare in each other's direction.

Serena is super confused seeing her body gawk back at her

Ash is terrified as his body stares back at him.

That’s when they both come to realize what's happened!

Before their very eyes, they’ve swapped bodies and are gazing at themselves, through the eyes of each other!

“ASH!” Serena wails, almost knocking Ash’s cap clean off her head with flailing arms

“SERENA!” Ash squeals in reply, looking down again at the skirt he now finds himself wearing.

The two of them rush to each other and start pulling at each other's clothing and hair.

“That’s mine!” Ash cries, grabbing at Serena’s jacket.

“My hair!” Serena moans, concerned for her body's looks!

Pikachu and Fennekin just look on with confusion. They are clueless as to why Ash and Serena are acting so weird!

Breaking off from each other, Serena’s face widens with a grin.

“So this is what it’s like,” she laughs, holding out Ash’s arms before her eyes. “Feels kinda good!”

Ash again looks down at his body in terror. He can feel the cold air rising up beneath his skirt.

“I can’t wear this!” Ash groans, pushing the skirt down, trying to cover his thighs. “I’m really cold!”

“Girls….!” Serena sarcastically replies, forming an ‘Ash-like’ determined expression. “It’s only a skirt! You'll get used to it…!”

Ash looks up at Serena and gives her a worried look. He’s not finding her comments funny.

“Don’t look at me like that with my own face!” Serena complains, striking a feminine pose with Ash’s body. “I’d offer to swap clothes with you, but I’m sure people would be more interested in why I’m the one wearing your skirt!”

“My skirt…?” Ash whines, flapping at the long hair cascading down past his shoulders. “It ain’t my skirt…why do I have to be the one to wear it!?”

Serena blushes

“Ash…..,” she says softly. “I….think it is….your skirt now.”

Ash frowns and sighs.

“Your….me now….,” Serena continues, looking away and biting her lip. “If your me now…., that means that skirt belongs to you. I’m you now, and I’m a boy. Us trading outfits would be odd.”

“Pika?” Pikachu then says, standing directly in front of Ash.

The two look deep into each other's eyes. Ash wonders if Pikachu can tell it’s him.

Not a second later, Pikachu jumps into Ash’s arms.

“Thanks, partner,” Ash blushes, giving Pikachu a smile. “You still know I’m your pal even when I’m been transformed into Serena!”

Pikachu looks up and gives a determined nod.

Flexing her new muscles, as Ash talks to Pikachu, Serena looks around the cave in wonder.

“So how’s this happened?” she questions. “I mean, I’m not dreaming…am I? I really am in your body now….right?”

Sighing, Ash nods

“It would appear this is real. I’m now very much you….,” he answers, flicking his head from side to side, making Serena’s long hair dance playfully around his ears.

“It looked like that Alakazam used confusion on us…..,” Serena says, thinking out loud. “Maybe if we find it again, it can swap us back….?”

“That’s right!” Ash screams, finding his confidence. “We just need to find it and we can go back to normal!”

Excited, Ash starts bolting for the exit.

As he runs, his skirt billows in the wind, and his hair dances with the movement.

“ASH…!” Serena calls out, running after him and quickly catching up.”We have no idea where it went!”

“So…!” Ash yells back at her. “The quicker we find it, the better!”

Serena catches up to Ash and grabs him on the shoulder. They both quickly stop and stand together at the entrance of the cave.

“Ash…,” Serena pants. “I know this is weird, but we should head back into the village. Maybe someone has fresh information on it.”

“What, and have people see me dress like this?” Ash gripes, awkwardly brushing hair from his face.

Serena pouts and pulls an unimpressed face.

“What's wrong with how you look?” she asks, looking him up and down. “You should be thrilled at just how you look so cute in that outfit!”

Pikachu shakes its head and jumps from Ash’s arms. Walking ahead, Pikachu heads for the cave exit.

“Pikachu…..?” Ash questions, following Pikachu with curiosity. “Where are you going?”

Pikachu points in the direction of the town.

“Okay……!” Ash sighs, knowing that Serena and Pikachu are right. “I’m sorry you guys. It’s just this is quite a confusing moment for me.”

“You could say…..Alakazam's confusion was…..super effective…?” Serena jokes nudging Ash gently on the arm.

Ash’s shoulders drop as he huffs at Serena’s joke.

“Let's get going then,” he says, adjusting the height of his skirt. “You’ve got a Pokemon Performance coming up….and I’m not going to be the one wearing that dress of yours!”

“Oh yeah!” Serena giggles. “That would be an issue.”

“Yeah….,” Ash shrugs.

“You’d look super cute though….,” Serena chuckles.
