Pretend he's Johanna

Now decked in Johanna's clothes, Ash looked around. If he was lucky, there should be a mirror somewhere in this guest room. If not, he could just go to the bathroom.

"Here we go." the trainer thought, gaze just catching his reflection in the back corner. Heading over, he took the time to take the rest of it in. Sure, he looked like a strange version of Johanna who decided that they wanted to do a male cosplay version of her. "Dawn! You're doing it wrong."

He wasn't sure what it was (whether that be the clothing he had on or perhaps hitting rock bottom one too many times), but there was something calming about acting like this. It was as if he was no longer Ash Ketchum and was now Johanna Berlitz.

"Purugly, use fury swipes! Umbreon, use energy ball." he continued, pretending that either pokemon was somehow in the room while he pretended to be the former coordinator. Even if they were somehow here, it was unlikely either pokemon would actually follow his orders.

"Ahem."

Ash turned around, finding Johanna standing before him. While she didn't look mad, confused was probably a better word to describe how she felt at the moment.

"So you want to be me, then?" Johanna inquired, getting what looked to be a **** nod in return. "I do hope you understand that there's a lot more to me than just a Coordinator."

Ash gulped. Sure, he wouldn't mind becoming Johanna. But to be caught like that? That was the worse possible thing that could've happened.
