I awoke on the floor, in the same place as where I'd fainted. I guess no one bothered to move me, or I wasn't in the way or something. Sitting up, I scratched my head, frowning as I wiggled my right ear, then my left. Something seemed different about me, but what was it?

Frowning, I stood up, stretching as I looked around the room. It was dark out, and there were no noises coming from anywhere in the house. Everything was silent except for the sound of breathing to my left. Frowning, I looked down, spotting Electra laying fast asleep on the floor. Except she looked different...

"Electra?" I said as I poked her side, making a face.

No... That's not Electra...

Quickly, I flipped her onto her back, taking a step back as I realized who it was.

"Cammy! And that means..." I said as I looked myself over, then looked at my tail, breathing a sigh of relief as I saw that the end of my tail was flat.

"I'm ME AGAIN!" I shouted, leaping into the air and laughing. "I'm me I'm me!"

"Ugh..." Cammy mumbled as she rolled onto her belly again, slowly getting up on all fours. "W-what the heck happened..."

"CAMMY!" I shouted as I pounced on her, giggling. "I'm me again!"

"WAH!" She yelled as she flopped onto her belly, squirming underneath me. "What are you talking about Dallas? Of course you're yo-... D-Dallas! We're normal again!" She shouted as she rolled over and hugged me tightly, kissing me hard on the lips. "Oh this is sooo wonderful!" she giggled as she hugged me as tight as she could. 'Ohhhh I feel so good being me again..."

"I knooow!" I laughed as I hugged her back, giggling. "But being female was really cool though..."

"And you feel soooo much more powerful..." She said, chuckling as she rubbed my back. "I can feel it..." She grinned as one of her paws slipped underneath my tail, then made its way forward, brushing over my sheath. "Literally, I can feel it..." She grinned.

"Ooh...." I squeaked as I lifted my tail, chuckling as I kissed her cheek gently. "We just wake up and already you want to mate. You're feistier than Electra!" I joked as I wiggled out of her grip and stood up. "Just give me some time to wake up and I promise we'll mate." I smiled as my tail began to wag.

She nodded and giggled as she got to her feet, hugging me once more before licking my cheek and giggling. "I'm hungry... And I feel so weird being me again..."

"Yeah... Me too..." I said, frowning again as I looked myself over once more, to make sure I was really me. "Come on, the third bowl can be yours for now." I said as I walked out into the kitchen, leaping up onto the counter and opening the cabinet.

"Got them!" She said as she jumped up and grabbed all three bowls, pulling them out of eachother and placing them on the counter.

"Ooh! This one says Cammy so it's mine!" She giggled as she picked it up and hopped down with it.

"Err... I guess this one's mine then..." I said as I took the blank one, smiling as I hopped down off of the counter and walked over to the cabinet that held the food, opening it and taking out a bag of dry food.

"Eh..." I mumbled as I ripped it open and poured some into my bowl, then poured some into Cammy's, smiling as she held it out for me.

"Well... I'd better get some for my mate too... She'll be mad if we eat without her..." I frowned.

"You bet I would!" Electra grinned as she poked Cammy's back, holding out her bowl. "Came down as soon as I heard the sound of food... You were right when you said I'd be mad if you ate without me." She giggled as she poked Cammy's back again.

"Quit poking me..." She said as she pawed at Electra's paw.

"Err, okay... Anyway pour me some Mr. Chu that looks exactly like Dallas." She giggled as she held out her bowl again.

"Sure thing." I chuckled as I poured the food into her bowl, completely filling it. "There ya go!"

"There's no way she's eating all that..." Cammy mumbled as she put her bowl down and picked up some food in her paws, sniffing it before putting it in her mouth.

"What?" Electra asked, frowning.

"Oh, nothing." Cammy giggled.

I put the bag down and watched as Electra put her bowl down, then got down onto all fours and stuffed her face into the food, not even chewing it as she scooped it up with her mouth and tongue and just swallowed it. Cammy also saw how she was eating and just stared at her, eating slower and slower as she watched Electra.

"Wow..." She mumbled as she poked Electra's side. "Holy crap..."

I laughed and placed my bowl down, closing the bag and putting it back in the cabinet. As I turned around, I smirked as Electra was now standing up and pouring the bowl of food into her mouth, the same way she'd done back at the pool with the bag of food... Cammy was staring now, not even eating anything as she watched Electra eat.

"Wow... Just wow..." She mumbled as she squinted at Electra. "You eat like... A lot, don't you?"

Electra smirked as she gulped down the last mouthful of dry food, dropping the bowl onto the floor and grinning as she folded her arms. "You bet I do! That's a silly question to ask Cammy."

I chuckled as I looked down at my bowl, not really feeling hungry anymore.

"Amper interfered last time Cammy..." Electra said as she walked over and hugged Cammy, giggling as she gently kissed her cheek. "We never got to mate..." She said as she purred softly, her right paw reaching underneath Cammy as she gently stroked a finger across her vagina before plunging it inside, as she delivered a slow lick to her neck. I stood there and watched as Cammy's eyes widened, and my member began to poke out of its sheath.

"Err... Electra... We switched back... I'm me again. I'm Dallas." I giggled as I poked her side. "I'm your mate, Dallas, and she's just Cammy. We switched our bodies back somehow."

Electra made a face as she took a step back, pulling her finger out of Cammy's vagina as she stared at her in awe.

"You must be Electra..." Cammy said in a low shaky voice, obviously startled by what Electra had done to her. "Wow... I've heard so much about you kind of... But I didn't know it was you... You eat like... A lot... And you... Don't mind if me and Dallas mate... And stuff..." She said, nervously fiddling with her paws. "And apparently you like females too..."

"Yep, that's me." Electra smiled as she held out her right paw. "Nice to meet you real Cammy."

Cammy hesitantly reached out and grabbed her paw, shaking it and smiling. "Nice to meet you too Electra. Hehe... I didn't think you were... A Pikachu... I thought you were like... A Gyrados when I'd heard that you ate a Pikachu and a Charmander together... But then... It wouldn't make sense for Dallas to mate with a Gyrados... So I didn't know what you were... But now that I see you and stuff... Wow... I mean, what's the biggest thing you can eat? How much CAN you eat? Do you ever feel full?" she asked as she stared at Electra excitedly.

Electra chuckled. "Nope, I'm a Pikachu. And I'm actually hoping to eat a human soon." She chuckled. "In front of a lot of other humans too! I wast everyone to know that I, Electra, will eat them all if I don't get what I want."

I chuckled. "Which is probably food..."

Electra turned around and pushed me playfully. "Well of course!"

Cammy slowly nodded, smiling kind of. "Well... That's kind of amazing..." She giggled as she jumped on Electra, hugging her tightly from behind. Electra didn't even shake her off, but instead just smiled and wagged her tail.

"WAAAAIT..." She frowned as she shook Cammy off, turning around and staring at her. "You mean... This whole time you were never Dallas?" She frowned as she held her paw in front of Cammy's face. "I can't feel the powery thingy coming out of you anymore..."

"Over here." I chuckled as I waved my paw at her. "I was in her body for a long time, and she was in mine. We switched back last night when we fell asleep. So now I'm me again. You were right, it WAS me that you saw, but I didn't know until he told me he was Dallas..."

"What..." Electra said, tilting her head to the right and making a face. "I don't get it..."

"Ugh... Me and Cammy switched bodies at the Pokemon Center..."

"So her name is Cammy and that's why you wanted to use it?" Electra asked.

"Yes... And now we're back to normal. So I'm Dallas again and not Cammy... So we can mate and stuff now."

Electra nodded. "I get it... But then... Who's Cammy?"

"Cammy is Cammy, just a random female I met in the Pokemon Center."

"Met and mated with! And it was great!" She chuckled as she pushed past Electra and hugged me.

I hugged her back, smiling. "Well... Of course it was..."

Electra pried her off of me and turned her around, growling.

"If you think you're going to make me jealous, then think again... So what if you mated with him ONCE, I've done it countless times! You can only IMAGINE the things we've done! Things that you'd most likely find weird and gross, and things that you'd find amazing. It's not all about mating you know. It's about friendship too, and trust. And if you're just going to be with my mate because you like the way he mates with you, then I don't want you around him." She said as she pushed past her and hugged me, smiling as her tail began to wag again.

"Ah yeah... I forgot you were his mate too..." She mumbled. "Well Dallas... I'd have to say that you picked a great mate... Just too bad it wasn't me, but still, you picked someone that you truly love, and not just love because you had sex with them..." Cammy smiled.

I scratched the back of my head and chuckled. "Well... Yes but... I saved you..."

"Wait, had what?" Electra asked, frowning. "What the heck is that?"

"Nothing." Cammy said, smiling. "And even though you saved me, I appreciate it. And I already showed you how grateful I was. However, if I'm going to get in the way of you and your mate, I'd rather us just be best friends, and not mates." She smiled as she held out her right paw. "Okay?"

I sighed and smiled as I extended my right paw and shook hers. "Well if that's what you really want..."

"It is. I mean, it was fine until I realized your mate didn't want it. I'd probably do the same thing if I had a mate and another female was trying to win him over by just mating with him..." She giggled.

"Well thanks..." Electra smiled as she looked down the hallway. "We should probably get to bed now..."

"Yeah, I'll go sleep on the couch." Cammy said as she dashed into the living room and jumped up onto the couch.

"Let's go upstairs..." Electra said as she walked into the hallway, smiling.

I looked down at my full food bowl and Cammy's half full one, frowning. "We gotta take Cammy's collar off and put it on me... And get my tags out of the thingy up there... I'll ask Ben to do it I guess..."

I perked my ears up as I heard someone coming down the stairs, and so did Electra. We both stood there, staring down the hallway until Ben appeared. He looked down at us and sighed.

"Okay what the hell... You're Brian, right?" He asked as he pointed to me, frowning.

"Yes." I said, nodding.

"Ugh... Whatever... So then who's the other female?" He said as Cammy walked into the kitchen. "Who is that? Aren't you Dallas?"

I'm Dallas, that's Cammy." I said as I pointed to the tag on her collar.

"Err... You're NOT Brian?" He asked Cammy, frowning.

"No... Who's that?" She said as she shook her head, frowning.

"Err... Makes more sense now I guess..." He mumbled as he walked past us and stared at the food bowls. "Well Cammy, come up here I guess..." He said, patting the counter top as he opened the cabinet and pulled out a collar. I smiled as I walked over with Cammy and hopped up onto the counter.

"Oh, Dallas... Well I kind of bought you a new collar yesterday since I realized how upset Electra was about it and stuff..." He said as he reached up and took out a black collar with yellow lightning bolts on it. "Like it?"

Smiling, I nodded. "I love it! Put it on me!" I said as I looked over at Electra, who had jumped up and joined us. Ben chuckled as he put the tags on it, then placed It around my neck and buckled it up.

"There. Now you look tough." He smirked. "You feeling alright? You feel... Warm..." He frowned as he placed his hand in front of my face, then over my head. "You feel really warm..." He frowned as he placed his hand ontop of my head. "But when I touch you, you don't..."

I made a face at him and folded my arms. "What the heck does that mean?"

Ben sighed as he closed the cabinet. "Well since Cammy is here now there's no need to take off the tags and stuff... Why don't we all do something together? I mean, I'm always at work and stuff... So I never get to actually be with you all... And yet I bought... Well Electra... For that purpose..." He frowned. "Why don't we go out on a walk or something... I mean, so what if it's like, midnightish... I'm awake, and so are you, so let's go for a walk." He smiled as he walked out into the hallway and got his coat out of the closet. "We'll be back in like an hour or so, I'm not planning this huge ten mile walk or anything, but eh..." He said as he opened the door, holding it for us. "Come on."

"Err... Okay..." Electra said as she walked out. I followed close behind her, and Cammy behind me. Ben shut the door and smiled as he knelt down and took off Cammy's collar.

"You might get recognized as the Pikachu from the Pokemon Center if I keep this on you." He said as he walked over to his car and opened the door, tossing the collar onto the seat and shutting it just before Electra went to hop inside.

"Err... Sorry girl, we're not going for a ride tonight." He chuckled as he reached down and patted her head. "Let's go into the woods or something..."

We all nodded, and I took Electra's paw, smiling as we began walking, Cammy climbing up onto Ben's shoulder and sitting there, wagging her tail.

"You two are like, so cute..." Ben chuckled as he smiled down at us. I didn't know what to say, so I stayed silent.

"Where are we going anyway?" Electra asked as we walked down into the backyard and began walking down the hill.

"Well, I don't know..." I said as I looked ahead of us. "Just for a walk I guess..."

"Well what's the point of walking if we're not going anywhere?" Cammy said as she hopped down off of Ben's shoulder and stared at us. "You can go off and do whatever you want, but I'm staying here if we're not going anywhere. I mean, why walk if there's no reason to, or no place we're supposed to be walking to?" She said as she turned around and ran up the hill. "See you later!"

"Whatever..." Electra mumbled as she ignored her and kept walking, tugging me along with her. "Come ON Dallas, ignore it. She's trying to get you to stay and stuff, and I want to go on the walk. So let's go."

"Well, if you want to go... Then... Sure." I said as I leaned against her, smiling.

"Err, I guess she doesn't like walks?" Ben said as he shrugged, stopping in front of the woods and sighing. "Well let's take the path..." He said as he reached into his pocket and pulled out a flashlight. "Don't wanna get lost or anything... Well, you'd be able to like, sniff out way back or something if we did, right? So what the heck..." He said as he took a step into the woods. "Why don't you two like, get in my hood or something, like you usually do. Keep us all warm." He chuckled.

"Err, sure?" Electra said as she let go of my paw and jumped up onto his back, climbing up into his hood and sitting down in it, giggling. "There's not enough room for both of us you know..."

"Nah, it's fine." I said as I walked alongside of Ben. "I'll walk, you stay in there."

"Dallas?" Ben said as he looked down at me. I shook my head no and sighed as I looked forward, wondering exactly where he was planning to take us.

"We should catch a wild Pokemon!" He said as he pulled a ball out of his pocket. "This is your ball Dallas... But I reset it, so you're free now... You have no ball..." He said as he looked it over, frowning. "I guess I just throw it right?"

I nodded and chuckled, knowing he wouldn't be able to catch anything out here.

"Well let's go in a bit further and I'll have you battle something for fun, then I'll catch it and release it... Just for fun I guess... Like, to see if I really could do it..." Ben smiled.

I laughed and nodded, and so did Electra.

"You can't catch things out here. It has to be in grass!" Electra said, pouting. "I think..."

"No it doesn't." I giggled, squinting in the light of the flashlight. "You know, if you put that freaking thing out I'd be able to see better..." I said as I jumped up and swatted at the flashlight in Ben's hand.

"What? You want it off?" He said as he switched it off and put it back in his pocket. "Well that kind of makes sense because you all see in the dark right?" He said as he scratched his right arm, sighing. "Well I can't, so... I'm walking based on what I see in the freaking moonlight..."

We walked for another ten minutes before we got to a patch of tall grass, or rather a meadow. It looked oddly familiar to me for some reason, although my eyes were still adjusting to absorbing the dim light rather than the bright beam of the flashlight, because Ben had turned it back on, only to turn it off again five minutes later because I growled at him, and I couldn't really see well.

"Why are we HERE?" Electra frowned as she closed her eyes. "I thought we were taking a break from here..." she whined.

"What do you mean?" I asked as I looked around, trying to figure out what she meant.

"Oh look... A cabin thing..." Ben said as he changed direction and began walking to the left, toward the old house that had the freezers in it.

"Oh... Well I don't know, he led us here..." I said to Electra.

"I wonder whos it is..." He said as he walked up to it, reaching out and opening the door, peeking inside and frowning. "It's empty... But there's a refrigerator in here... And it's on..." He said as he opened the door and walked inside, frowning as he walked over to one and opened it.

"What the hell... This HAS to belong to someone." He said as he shut it. "Well whatever, let's go." He said as he squinted into one of the other rooms in the cabin, sighing as he walked outside and shut the door behind me, as I'd walked out right after he did.

"Dallas get in front of me... Jeez... You can see better and stuff..." He said, frowning as he squinted at the tall grass. "Well stay behind me I guess, there's no need to see because there's a path in the tall grass..." He said as he walked over to it, sighing as he walked onto the pathway. "I don't know where this leads, but whatever..." He mumbled as he walked a bit faster. "I've got two Pikachu to protect me, err, I mean fight with me, or whatever. Defend against wild Pokemon. I don't freaking know how to word it... The point is, I'm not just walking out here without a Pokemon to defend me and stuff in case of an attack..." he frowned.

"I know what you mean... No need to explain it." I said as I walked behind him, the trail becoming too narrow to walk alongside him anymore.

"Err... This might be a weird question, but could you and Electra maybe... Have a Pichu for me? I mean, I've always wanted to have a Pichu as a pet and stuff..." He said as he frowned down at me. "I know I discouraged it in the past, but that twas because I thought you were still human inside and I didn't want you to lost your humanity... But now that you've lost it anyway, there's no point in holding you back..." He sighed.

"Ben what the heck... We're not ready for a Pichu yet..." I sighed as I looked ahead of us, knowing exactly where we were, all to well.

'Err... Now what?" Ben said as he stopped at the end of the pathway, looking at me and frowning.

"Wait here I guess..." I sighed as Electra climbed down out of his hood.

"He led us back to the colony... What the heck..." She mumbled as she walked over to the bush and squeezed inside.

"Err... Be right back..." I mumbled as I ran off after her, darting into the bush and into the hole. "Electra what are you doing?" I asked as I grabbed her tail, then quickly let it go, to get her attention.

"Dallas stop it, I'm getting food." She said as she ran off toward the food storage room's tunnel.

"Uh... Whatever..." I said as I sat down and sighed, the sparks on my cheek stopping, leaving me in darkness. After about five minutes, she came back, smiling.

"Well let's go... They're all awake anyway, and I wasn't the only one in there..." she grinned.

"Hey Electra!" Someone yelled as they ran out of the food room, giggling. "The way you eat is so creepy!" he laughed.

She laughed and poked his nose. "Well thanks I guess..."

He laughed and ran off down a tunnel, and I just looked at Electra, frowning. "Err, okay let's go now."

She nodded, and as we made our way to the exit tunnel, a group of Pikachu made their way past us and rushed out before we could.

"Ugh, what the heck... We were first now move!" Electra said as she pushed her way into the crowd and exited with them. Sighing, I too joined the crowd, running through the tunnel and darting out of the bush.

"Okay, let's leave now..." I said as I looked to the left, then the right, not seeing Electra or Ben anywhere. "What the heck... Where are you two? ELECTRA! BEN!" I shouted over the chatter of all the others rushing out of the colony.

"WHAT?" Electra yelled as she pushed her way out of the crowd, forcefully shoving them aside. "WATCH OUT!" She snapped as she ran over to me, hugging me. "I don't know what the heck is going on, but we have to go, I'm not dealing with all these freaking pushers and stuff..." she growled.

"Yeah, but where's Ben?" I asked as I looked around, frowning.

"He'll turn up. He's human, he knows what to do." Electra said as she darted off onto the path of the tall grass, just as about fifteen or so more Pikachu rushed out of the colony and piled up with the others in the crowd.

I sighed as I followed her, taking note that I didn't see Ben anywhere ahead on the trail, nor did I see his flashlight light...

"Ugh... He probably went the other way..." I mumbled as I looked behind us. Everything had quieted down and most of the Pikachu were all going back inside. "What the hell are they all coming out for anyway?" I asked as I squinted at the crowd.

"I don't know, food?" Electra said as she sniffed the air. "But I don't smell any food, so..."

"That's it! We could smell for him!" I said as I got down onto all fours and sniffed the ground. "Now I know I'm not a good tracker yet, but I can still try." I said as I sniffed the grass gently, taking note that I did indeed smell Ben, obviously, but it wasn't strong, so he couldn't have come back through.

"Yeah, Ben's scent isn't strong here..." Electra frowned. "Let's go this way."

"Err, sure..." I said as I stood up and followed Electra, who had taken the lead as far as tracking Ben. I walked behind her, frowning as we passed the bush. "I would've thought he'd wait here for us..." I said as I frowned.

"Yeah me too..." Electra said as she walked a bit faster, her tail standing straight up as she kept on the path. I knew from experience that lifting my tail helped me concentrate, no matter how provocative it was to whoever was behind you.

"Maybe he tried to stick his hand in the hole and someone saw him and alerted the others, and they all attacked him or something." I said as I shrugged.

"Dallas look!" She said as she pointed ahead, standing up and frowning. "It's the lighty thingy."

Frowning, I walked over and picked up the flashlight, clicking it off and holding it tightly in both paws. "What the heck did he drop his light for?"

"I don't know... Maybe he got scared." Electra giggled as she pointed to his coat, which lay crumpled up on the ground a few feet in front of us.

"His skins too... What the heck... This makes no sense, there's no reason he'd take off his coat and stuff." I said as I walked past it, dropping the flashlight and frowning as I squinted ahead.

"Hey, what's with all the Pikachu over there?" Electra said as she began walking toward them.

I shrugged and followed her. "I don't know, maybe something happened?" I said as a bolt of lightning lit up the crowd, and I caught a glimpse of what they were all gathered around.

Shit... They got Ben...

"Electra hurry!" I yelled as I ran over to the crowd and pushed my way inbetween them, standing up on Ben's belly and yelling.

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING? LEAVE HIM ALONE!" I yelled as I looked around at the crowd.

Almost immediately, everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at me.

"Oh crap, it's Dallas..." One of them mumbled, sighing as he turned around and began walking back to the colony. "Well Thunder said that Dallas was our real leader, and we have to listen to him, so... Everyone out!" He said, pointing to the colony entrance. "Fall out..."

"But we're not done! He won't come out right!"

"Yeah, he's going to remember stuff!"

"The last one remembered stuff too! But he naturally began forgetting things slowly, so what?" The Pikachu snapped.

"We didn't HAVE the forgetting one last time! We do this time but I didn't put it in yet!"

"He'll talk humany!"

"No, I added that part, you just didn't finish it. He'll be able to do both.

"I don't care, he's Dallas' master or whatever, fall OUT!"

"We can't abort! It has to go through now, I already added the purple one!"

"You idiot! That one goes last!"

"I didn't even add the green one yet!"

"He's going to be all messed up!"

"ABORT DAMNIT!"

"NO!"

"Wait, let me put in the orange..."

There was a small orange glow as the Pikachu pushed something into Ben's hand, then shot it with a bolt of electricity. In a puff of orange smoke, it was gone.

"Ugh... Well add the purple now or else it'll be all wrong... THEN EVERYONE LEAVE!"

One of the Pikachu fiddled with a bunch of flat squares that kind of looked like Starburst, before one of them turned purple and he pressed it against Ben, giving it a small shock. In a puff of purple smoke, it was gone.

"Now OUT!" The Pikachu in the grass yelled as he ran off toward the colony, everyone else grabbing up all the little squares and following him. I just stood there on Ben's belly, clueless, as I watched then all run off.

"He's done, everyone out!" He yelled as he disappeared into the bush.

"Well what the heck was THAT?" Electra said as she walked over to me, tugging me off of Ben and into the grass. "What were those colorful things?"

"I don't know..." I mumbled as I looked at Ben. He seemed to be alright. But what the heck did they do to him? Judging by the way he looked, they'd done nothing. Leaning down, I gently sniffed him. He smelled normal, nothing different. He looked the same too. And if he looked the same and smelled the same, he had to be normal.

"Hey Dallas, CATCH!"

Turning my head quickly, I saw one of the Pikachu toss me one of the square things. I watched as he thunderbolted it in midair, and instead of landing in my paws, it kind of avoided me, and went around me, smacking into Ben and disappearing in a puff of smoke.

"Heheh, NOW he's done..." He chuckled as he ran off.

"What the... Heck..." I mumbled as I looked myself over, wondering what that even did.

"Dallas are you okay?" Electra asked as she sniffed me, obviously worried.

"Yes I'm fine... I don't know what the hell that was anyway..." I said as I frowned, not feeling any different than I did before. I perked my ears up as I heard someone talking in the distance, or rather yelling.

"You IDIOT! I said GREY not BLACK!"

"Well what the heck's the difference? They LOOK the same! It's dark in here!"

"The difference is what they DO! The black one will make it happen immediately! I wanted it to go SLOWLY! But faster than it already is!"

"Well you should have GIVEN me the one then, and not had me look for it myself! You're so lazy! You sit there and yell at me for not getting the thing and then yell at me for not getting the right one UNDER PRESSURE! Not to mention they LOOK THE SAME!"

"No, it exploded in front of him, it'll be much less effective, and it could possibly do nothing at all... Maybe it won't happen instantly..."

"Maybe he'll change overn... fo... an... ayb... era..."

The voices trailed off, and I could no longer clearly hear what they were talking about.

"Okay, what?" Electra said as she frowned. "What are they talking about? Pushing humans out of what?"

"If I knew I'd tell you..." I said as I sighed, looking over at Ben, who sat up and looked at us.

"Dallas? Electra? What the hell, why am I wet? Did one of you piss on me or something?" he asked.

I frowned, and so did Electra, and we both shook our heads no.

"Ugh... What happened anyway?" He said as he stood up, frowning.

"I don't KNOW." I said, sighing. "Let's just go home..."

"I was petting that Pikachu... And it shocked me... That's all I remember..." He mumbled as he began walking. "Whatever, let's go home..." He said as he picked up his coat and flashlight, frowning. "Was I dragged or something? I was petting it over HERE, not over there..." he said as he made a face.

"I don't KNOW! I wasn't there for it!" I snapped as Electra climbed up into Ben's hood once he put his jacket on.

"We're going home... I don't feel good..." Ben said as he walked onto the path in the tall grass. No one said another word the whole way home, until we approached the hill of the backyard.

"Ugh, I'm going to bed the second I get inside..." Ben said as he looked up at the house, groaning.

Electra climbed down out of his hood, and we both walked up the hill and up the stairs, onto the second floor of the back porch together, where we both crawled inside the door flap and walked into the living room, climbing up onto the yellow couch. Electra curled up next to Cammy, and I lay flat, right next to Electra. Ben came inside and put his coat away, shutting the closet door quite loudly.

"My FUCKING side hurts like FUCK!" He said as he walked upstairs, groaning. It wasn't long, probably about a minute, before I dozed off, right after I heard the sound of the door to Ben's room slamming shut.

--- ~~~~~~~~

I woke up and yawned, sitting up and looking to my left, then my right. Neither Cammy nor Electra were here, so they must be in the kitchen eating. I smiled to myself as I hopped down off of the couch, rubbing my eyes as I walked into the kitchen and looked around.

Nothing. Maybe they're outside playing...

I walked into the dining room and looked out of the glass door, I didn't see them on the porch or in the pool, so they had to be inside... Or in the yard somewhere, or on the first floor of the porch, or...

Why am I worrying anyway? Electra can take care of herself, and so can Cammy.

I sighed as I walked into the other living room, the one I hardly ever go in, and walked across, taking a right and entering the hallway, walking straight and heading up the stairs, taking a right on the third stair and looking up the rest, sighing as I climbed up.

"Electra, are you up here?" I asked as I reached the top, walking down the hallway and into my room, sighing with relief as I saw her tail hanging off of the bed. Smiling, I walked over to it and grabbed it, playfully tugging on it as I hopped up onto the bed.

"Hehe, Dallas what are you doing?" Electra giggled as she sat up, looking at me and smiling. "Oh, I didn't mean to move away from you or anything, but I wanted to show Cammy where we usually slept." she smiled.

"Nono, it's fine." I smiled as I grabbed her and hugged her, making a face as Cammy crawled out from underneath the blankets and kissed us both on the cheek.

"Well I have to go... To my colony... They've missed me, I'm sure of it..." Cammy said, smiling. "And no, not the one that's like, ten minutes from here with the tall grass and stuff. I belong to a different colony., one that's farther away.

"Err... Okay... Didn't know there was another, but it was nice knowing you." Electra smiled as she grabbed Cammy's paw and shook it.

"Well, eh... I might as well stay here, I mean it's warm at night and stuff in here, and cool in the day... I mean, not like it's not at the colony, but... Here you can make it perfect for you and stuff... There's always food, water, no predators trying to eat you all the time, no-"

"WRONG!" Electra interrupted, chuckling as she rubbed her paws together. "I, Electra, happen to be a predator."

Cammy frowned, looking down. "But you're not trying to eat me..."

"True... Go on..." Electra chuckled as she hugged me.

"Well I think you get the point. I'm just going to stay here for a bit. That human forgot to put my collar back on though... Although it's nice to have it off once in a while..." she giggled.

"Electra... If you're really into eating other Pokemon, and I'm not saying you're not, because I'm pretty convinced you are, especially since I actually fed you a couple... I was wondering if... Well, I might regret this later, but... I was wondering if maybe me and you could go into the woods every now and then and train to make you more aggressive... So that you can take down Pokemon even bigger than you are... You know, because predators are supposed to be mean and aggressive to the ones they want to eat, and no-"

Suddenly, I realized why Electra was always so mean to Amper. Electra, being a predator, always wanted to eat Amper. And she'd succeeded once, but Kevin interfered. All she wanted since then, and even before then, but more so after the incident, was to eat Amper, not make friends with her... And predators are naturally mean and nasty to their targets... It all makes sense now...

"And not nice to them... Electra... You really ARE a predator, aren't you?" I asked as I hugged her more gently, looking into her eyes and smiling. "This whole time... You've been so mean to Amper because she was your target... This whole time, you've actually been acting like a normal predator would to someone they wanted to take down..."

"Exactly... I just didn't want to say that..." She giggled as she poked my belly. "You're smart!"

I chuckled, kissing her cheek. "Well perhaps we could go out sometime and train you more, make you even more aggressive, turn you into a hunter, a hunter that kills for fun and devours them without leaving as much as a strand of fur behind, a hunter that locks onto their prey and attacks instantly, killing them off as quickly as they can... A hunter that hunts even in friendly and ranked battles, and devours other trainer's Pokemon when they're battling..." I chuckled as I rubbed my paws together, picturing Electra tackling an Espeon and swallowing it down as soon as it was released from its Pokeball, the stunned look on the trainer's face, the stunned look on the audience's faces, the crowd cheering for Electra...

"Dallas..." She giggled as she waved her paws in front of my face. "You're daydreaming about me again aren't you?" She chuckled as she kissed my cheek. "I think it sound like an amazing idea. I mean, all my life I've wanted to be the best predator out there, and with a mate as strong as you are, you could help me do it... And we can use Cammy to practice on!" she laughed.

"NO!" She squealed, scrambling backwards and stumbling off the bed.

Chuckling, Electra looked down at her. "I was joking! Hehe, I don't eat other 'Chus, unless Dallas wants me to, or they're extremely obnoxious like Stryder was..." She giggled as she poked my belly.

"Yeah, Stryder was a dick..." I said as I kissed Electra's nose, giggling.

"Wait, you mean the Stryder with the mate Starlight? The one that tricks humans into trusting him and leads them to a field where his colony thunderbolts them and experiments with them until they turn into Pokemon?"

"Yes... I ate him. Dallas fed him to me." Electra smiled.

"Well yes, that Stryder... What do you know about these experiments?" I asked, tilting my head to the right and frowning.

"Well nothing... But I knew Stryder alright... He wandered off to my colony, said he belonged to both... He would do weird stuff all the time, I hated how stupid he acted... It's all part of Team Onyx's stupid experiments. One time he dragged a human into the woods and started shoving these colorful squares into him... Him and his whole Team Onyx colony are stupid. I asked what he was doing and he said nothing... I hate how dumb he acts..." Cammy frowned.

"Me too..." Electra smiled. "But he's gone now, so no need to talk about it. Anyway, let's go eat."

Cammy smiled. "Yeah, I'm hungry too, let's ea-"

"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"What the HECK!" Cammy said as she looked out into the hallway, frowning.

"That was Ben... Something's wrong..." I said as I hopped down off of the bed and ran into the hallway, stopping in front of Ben's bedroom door. There was scratching coming from the other side, as if a trapped Pokemon were trying to get out.

"Brian! Dallas! Kevin! Electra! Cammy! Someone get me out!" Ben yelled from the other side, the scratching picking up speed, as if the Pokemon inside were scared to death.

"What's in the room?" Electra asked as she placed her ear on the door. "It sounds like Ben is trapped because Amper is being stupid in there..." she smirked.

"Well Ben sounds normal, and he's talking normal, so... He HAS to be in there with someone else... So why the hell is he so afraid?" I said out loud as I jumped up and opened the door. As soon as it clicked open, a yellow paw stuck itself in the crack and swung the door open. The Pikachu that emerged from the room tackled me to the ground, scrambling to its feet and falling over again, as if it didn't know how to walk or something.

"Ahhh! Why am I a Pikachu? What the hell kind of dream is this!?" The Pikachu said, except it spoke it in perfect English, not to mention in Ben's voice, as it squirmed about on the carpet, trying to stand up.

Then it hit me. Everything that had happened last night at the colony... What Starlight said about Stryder and the colony doing weird things to humans... The Pikachu was Ben!
