Copy: Body

Ash knew that the risk was considerable, but in the end, his curiosity won out over any thoughts of caution. He couldn't deny that he wanted to find out what the remote was capable of. And the only way to accomplish that, of course, was to actually test out its various functions. Thus, while Mallow's back was turned towards him and she still hadn't noticed him not catching up, Ash aimed the remote at his companion once more.

He didn't have much time to decide on which button to press, so he limited his choices to the colored buttons for now. Still, this left him with three different categories: "Swap", "Copy" and "Paste". And while swapping something with Mallow seemed like the safest option between these three, Ash simply felt drawn to the Copy-Category this time.

Assuming that each color had the same function across the three categories, he already knew what the purple button did. Since he didn't want to simply copy his own occupation from his companion, this left him with the many other options he didn't know the function of yet. Not seeing any reason to put much more thought into his choice, he simply moved his thumb over one of the buttons and pressed it. In the end, this button turned out to be the blue one.

As soon as the clicking sound of the remote could be heard, Ash immediately felt that he had undergone a drastic change. His eyes still resting on the device, he could see right away that the hand holding it had taken on a distinctly different shape. It was smaller, with long, dainty fingers and a slightly darker tone of skin. This newly smooth skin extended all the way up his arm, eventually hiding from view under the short sleeve of his blue and white t-shirt.

Turning his attention from just his arm to the rest of his body, the next major change became visible right away. And not just that, as Ash could clearly feel the weight of the pair of C-cup breasts now resting on his chest and tenting out his shirt. This wasn't the only additional weight attached to his body, however, as a somewhat similar pull could be felt at the back of his head. Reaching behind himself, his hand soon made contact with a curtain of long hair. Curious, he took hold of a strand and pulled it into his field of view, a familiar dark green color greeting him.

At this point, Ash had a pretty clear picture of just what he had copied from Mallow. Still, there was one place he needed to check to gain final clarity. Thus, his hand that wasn't holding the remote moved to the front of his pants and pressed down on the crotch area.

Nothing. She had copied Mallow's body.

Ash couldn't believe it. Even if she had already half expected the device to also be capable of physical transformations, actually receiving confirmation, let alone through transforming herself, was still kind of a shock. It took most of her focus to stop herself from making any sort of sounds that could alert Mallow to the fact that anything was amiss. Fortunately, she managed to keep herself somewhat calm.

But despite these efforts to not gain any unnecessary attention, Mallow still turned around to look back at Ash. Though not because of anything related to the remote, at least directly .

"Hey Ash, are you coming or not?" the former chef called out to her, having noticed that Ash wasn't keeping up and instead still standing in the same position.

"Huh? Oh, uh, sorry Mallow!" Ash responded, quickly sliding the device into one of the large pockets of her brown pants. "I'm right behind you!"

This seemed to satisfy the Alolan trainer as she turned back around and continued walking once more. The fact that she had just looked at an exact copy of her own body did not elicit any sort of reaction at all. Ash, not wanting to have to come up with any more explanations for the way she was acting, quickly followed after her. In the time it took her to catch up to the girl who's body she had copied, Ash took stock of the situation she now found herself in.

She now looked exactly like Mallow, that much was obvious. However, it seemed as though there were no further changes made to her identity beyond that. Her companion had called her by the same name as before, and she even had reason to believe that she was still seen as a male, despite her clearly female body. She based this assumption on the fact that she was still wearing the exact same outfit, but resized to fit her new figure. Otherwise, not only would her new breasts pull up her shirt and expose her midriff, but her pants probably wouldn't fit around her now wider hips either. Further supporting this theory was also the fact that she did not wear a bra and her new pussy was covered in the same boxers she had worn all day. Beyond that, since she also didn't gain any of Mallow's accessories. Her long, green hair, which the original usually kept in twintails, was flowing down her back freely from below her cap.

Now having caught up to Mallow again, Ash also noted that moving in this body felt somewhat different compared to her male body. In fact, she was moving exactly the same as the girl right next to her. The way her hips and legs moved, not to mention her boobs bouncing freely on her chest… This would definitely take some getting used to.

With the two of them now walking side-by-side, it seemed like Ash wouldn't have any more opportunities to use the remote for some time. This meant that, unless any unexpected events occurred, this would be the state of reality for the time being. Thus, Ash and Mallow continued on their way towards the next Pokémon-Center.
