Ash and his friends had traveled to a new gym they had heard about, that opened in the strange town of Ebonvale. When Ash entered the gym, he saw a woman standing with a clipboard and some papers, who appeared to be signing trainers in.
When Ash talked to the lady, she said “Alright, welcome to the Ebonvale Gym, I’m gonna need you to sign this form.” Ash responded “A form? This isn’t the typical gym, is it?” The lady responded “You would be right about that, we have a special policy for failing a battle, where you have to use a item fermented by the strange mushrooms in this region. The item causes the regression of the body and has some other effects, which a research team is trying to investigate.” Ash said “Well, I don’t lose, so I’ll be fine!” before signing the form and heading in for his gym battle.
When Ash entered the arena where he would fight the gym leader, he saw a beautiful woman in a velvet dress with a fancy cap who greeted him and said “As you have already seen, we are not your typical gym, and since we are still working out procedures, we will just have a battle with 1 Pokémon versus 1 Pokémon. I already have my Pokémon for this battle selected, so let me know when you’ve selected yours.” Ash responded “Well, since I don’t know what type of Pokémon you use, I’ll just use Pikachu and clear this match with no problems.” The lady laughed a bit and said “Sure.” before revealing her Pokémon, which Ash had never seen before. Ash put his concerns to the side and began the battle, but soon realized that this Pokémon was quite powerful.
In only a few minutes, Pikachu had been obliterated by this new Pokémon, and the woman said “Well, you lost, and you signed the form, so you know what happens now.” Ash said “Please no, I’ll do a rematch, I don’t want to participate in the research trial!” The woman simply laughed “Too late little Ash!” as Ash felt himself shrinking as the clerk from the first room injected him with a strange serum. The woman said “Go to sleep, little baby Ash, you’ll need the rest.” Ash felt himself slipping into unconsciousness.
Later, Ash awoke in a bedroom filled with childish decorations and toys, and he saw the gym leader walk in. She looked down at his small frame, and said “Hi Ash, as you’ve probably noticed already, you’ve been turned into a 4 year old boy, and you shall be my child for the foreseeable future. I don’t think I’ve introduced myself yet, my name is Erika, but you can call me “Mommy.”
Ash spoke and asked the woman:
