Interesting days! Good adaptation! Discoveries and confessions!

A couple of days later, you sit next to Brock, watching with amusement as Dawn shouts furiously at an impassive Paul, who merely raises an eyebrow slightly. It seems Dawn isn't taking it well that, even after having sex with her several times, Paul still can't remember her name.

You find it amusing to see how he's still the same idiot, but you finally decide to intervene, since you're interested in having a Pokémon battle. So you approach him confidently, take Dawn's arm, and look at Paul. "If you two have stopped fighting, lovebirds, we could have a battle, right?" you say to Paul in a serious tone.

Dawn glares at you and is about to say something, but Paul nods and gives you an annoyed look. "Well, tell your little friend to stop bothering me! I don't want to waste my time with a screaming girl!" he says sarcastically, then takes a few steps back and looks at you. "At least you're capable of being a professional, even if you're a bit pathetic sometimes, like the other day when you lost to that weakling Lantum!" he says with a disdainful gesture.

You gasp in surprise and look at him, perplexed. "You knew?! You knew she was a girl?" you ask, surprised, frowning. Seeing him nod impassively, you give him an angry look. "Since when did you know, huh?! And to tell you the truth, you don't have to be such an idiot! There was a lot of talent at the Wallace Cup!" you say irritably.

He looks at you impassively and clicks his tongue. "Of course I knew you were a woman! What do you think, that I'm an idiot or blind or something? Besides, I heard you and Reggie! He thinks very highly of you!" he says very seriously, then looks at Dawn. "Now step aside, right now, Dawn! And maybe you'll learn something from your friend!" he says disdainfully, as he steps aside and you see him get into position.

Dawsn glares at him and blushes. "Idiot! My name is Dawn!" she shouts angrily, then heads towards where Brock is sitting, but before she does, she looks at you. "Tell this idiot a lesson, Nessa!" she says firmly.

You nod and smile confidently; you had a little surprise in store. "Don't worry, there's someone else who's been wanting that too!" You say, as you take your place, watching Dawn draw lots to see who goes first. It lands on you, so you pull out a Poké Ball, which makes Brock and Dawn's eyes widen, and Paul look at you with slight surprise. "This time I'll win! Go and show them who's the best, Milotic!" you say, and before Paul's astonished eyes, your majestic Milotic appears.

——————-

Two hours later, although somewhat disappointed that the battle ended in a draw, you're pleased with Milotic's performance. If it hadn't been for those idiots in Team Rocket, she would have defeated Paul single-handedly. You smile, remembering Paul's frustrated expression when his Gliscor was easily defeated, only to then knock out Ursaring. Unfortunately, you couldn't finish the battle, and you had decided to call it a draw and have a proper one another day. You smile amusedly as you wait with Brock for Dawn to return from a meeting to clear things up with Paul.

You look at Brock, trying not to laugh. "Dawn can say whatever she wants! But she sure enjoys torturing Paul, huh? Haha," you say jokingly, then glance at Pikachu, who is standing next to you with Piplup. "Do you think they'll be back before nightfall, or not?" you ask playfully, watching as both Pokémon look at you and shake their heads in amusement.

Another half hour passes before Dawn finally returns, looking satisfied. She acts as usual. A couple of minutes later, Paul appears, says goodbye, and although he makes a sarcastic comment to Dawn, it doesn't escalate, and he leaves.

During the following days, you feel increasingly uncomfortable for no apparent reason, and also more aroused, something you try to hide, but it's very difficult, especially after one of those days when you unexpectedly see Brock's penis and are almost tempted to suck it.

Dawn must have noticed, because she smiled at you and gave you an amused look, but she didn't say anything. Even that night, she'd made a pass at you in the room you shared, and although you initially rejected her, you ended up that night in a sexual frenzy with Dawn, having multiple orgasms.

That night, you were very satisfied, and it seemed that Dawn was too, although you were surprised when, before you got into bed, she looked at you with something akin to frustration. "I should have known! You're still the same as always, aren't you, Nessa?!" she said with a slight smile, and you saw her trying not to laugh.

You were going to ask her what she meant, but you thought better of it, shook your head, and got ready for bed.

The next morning, you understood the reason for her attitude, since you woke up with abdominal pain and dizziness. It was still early, and without wanting to wake Dawn, you went to the bathroom to try to get rid of that feeling and freshen up. When you got there, you went to the mirror to look at yourself and wash your face, but it was when you looked at yourself, and especially at your pajama pants, that you let out a scream of horror.

On your blue pajama pants, you saw a stain, something that alarmed you, and when you pulled them down, you confirmed that your underwear was stained with blood. You became very nervous when you realized what that meant: you were having your first period! You tried to react, but you were too nervous.

It's at that moment that the bathroom door opens, and a sleepy, disheveled Dawn enters, rubbing her eyes. "What's all the shouting, Nessa?! It's so early! Don't tell me you forgot again..." she begins wearily, but when she sees you, her eyes widen, and she lets out a frustrated gasp. "Seriously, Nessa?! Again?! You should have listened to me and come with me the other day!" she says resignedly.

You look at her, embarrassed, and don't know what to say. Dawn disappears for a few seconds, then returns, carrying a small bag, which she hands to you. You look at it, puzzled. "Dawn, what?" you say, confused, looking at the bag and its contents, blushing as you see various feminine hygiene products.

Dawn looks at you seriously and shakes her hand. "You're lucky I was prepared and bought extra, just in case!" she says seriously, then looks at you, and seeing your nervousness, smiles. "Relax, Nessa! There's no need to feel embarrassed! Just be more careful next time, okay?" she says finally, and turning around, leaves the bathroom again.

You're still hesitant for a few seconds, and above all, very nervous, until finally, you take a deep breath and get ready to wash up and, above all, clean yourself properly.

When you finally came out of the bathroom, already dressed, you had instinctively decided to wear something more feminine than usual: tight black leather pants and a light gray, very feminine sweater. With those clothes, it was hard to hide that you were a girl, but you had to admit, they looked great on you. Even so, you had an intense blush on your face. You were now very aware that you were a woman, both physically and biologically, and while cursing Zoey and Sabrina slightly, you tried to act naturally.

When Dawn saw you, she looked at you affectionately and smiled at your blush. "Come on, Nessa! Don't be embarrassed! I'm the one who should be frustrated and embarrassed, don't you think?!" she said, trying to sound annoyed, but clearly amused. "But honestly, Nessa! That's three times already! Maybe next time you'll be more careful!" she says calmly.

You give her a look that's somewhere between shy and annoyed and click your tongue. "Shut up, Dawn, will you?! It was just a slip-up! I thought I wouldn't get my period for another day or two!" you say irritably, a memory flashing through your mind of why you hadn't listened to Dawn's advice a few days ago.

Dawn clicks her tongue playfully and goes back to finishing getting dressed, while you head towards your bed, where Pikachu is already awake and calmly watching you. You approach him and, still a little hesitant, gather your things while you wait for Dawn to finish dressing.

When you left and met up with Brock, you saw how he looked at you approvingly and gave you a warm smile, then complimented you on your clothes, which you appreciated, though it made you a little embarrassed. You also noticed how some people turned to look at you curiously, scrutinizing you, seeing many blush and nod in approval.

But it was while you were having breakfast that you finally found out the reason for the approving looks and widespread blushing, including that of a shy nurse, Joy, who, clearing her throat, approached you and spoke to you hesitantly. "I don't mean to be indiscreet, but you should know that you should have informed both the authorities and this facility about your situation upon arrival!" she said tentatively, then looked at you more seriously. "I'm obliged to report this. You know that, don't you?!" she says resignedly.

Upon hearing this, you look at her, confused, just like Brock and Dawn, and frown. "With all due respect, Nurse Joy! I don't know why I should have to explain to the authorities why I dress the way I dress!" you say, trying not to sound too impertinent, but it's clear you're very indignant.

Nurse Joy suddenly becomes very serious and clears her throat. "You should know, young lady! According to the new regulations, any citizen who has been affected by the new situation is obligated to report it! Furthermore, their apparent ignorance of the regulations does not exempt them from complying! So I recommend that you cooperate and accompany me, if you would be so kind!" she says in a now very formal tone, leaving no room for argument, while gesturing for you to stand up.

You look at her incredulously and are about to protest, but you see she was serious, and that shortly after, Officer Jenny enters and heads towards you with a serious expression. With no other option, you get up from your seat and look at Dawn and Brock. "Wait here with Pikachu! I won't be long, I'll sort this mess out!" you finally say resignedly, and with no other choice, you let Nurse Joy and Officer Jenny guide you.

----- Minutes later, Pokémon Center office ----

You remain seated, watching Officer Jenny examine your ID and frown, then look at you. "I must insist you be honest. You say you're a girl, but here, it says 'Male' under 'Sex'!" she says with an annoyed expression, then stares at you intently. "It indicates here that your name is Nessa Ketchum, from Pallet Town, Kanto!" She says seriously, then looks at Nurse Joy. "According to her, you checked in yesterday as Ash Ketchum, and as a boy! And apparently, you shared a room with another girl, who I assume must be your girlfriend, right?" she says skeptically.

With each word, your brow furrows more, and you grow more indignant, but with this last bit, you've had enough. "That's it! I won't continue with this! She has no right to judge me for dressing as a boy, or for saying I am one! And even less to treat me like a criminal! Besides, Dawn is my friend, not my girlfriend!" you say finally, indignantly, and you stand up. "So, unless I've committed a crime that I'm unaware of by hiding my gender, I'm leaving!" you say firmly, looking at Agent Jenny.

Agent Jenny looks at you very seriously and stands up as well. "I'm informing you again that, according to the new regulations, and although it's not a crime, you should have notified us of your situation! Furthermore, you must undergo a medical examination to help document your situation before entering it into the registry. If you don't, I will be **** to arrest you!" she says in an authoritarian tone, then looks at the nurse. "If you would be so kind, take her for the examination!" she says firmly.

You observe this with disbelief, but seeing Agent Jenny's seriousness, you sigh and allow yourself to be led to the adjoining observation room.

------ Observation Room----

Once the door is closed, Nurse Joy looks at you with a serious expression. "Please remove all your clothing and leave it on that chair!" she says in a softer voice, pointing to a chair next to a gurney.

You nod with a sigh as you walk toward the examination table. Nurse Joy turns around, seemingly wanting to give you some privacy. Left with no other option, you start taking off your clothes, eventually ending up in just your bra and panties, leaving the rest on the chair. "Okay, I'm done!" you say irritably.

Nurse Joy, hearing you, turns around and looks at you intently, but then frowns, looking you up and down. "I said all your clothes! Please take everything off. You're not embarrassed now, are you?!" she says with a hint of surprise.

You blush and huff, but finally turn around and, with no other choice, take off your bra, and finally, pull down your panties and remove them, before turning back around. "There! Are you happy now?!" you say with frustration, showing your body to the nurse.

When she looks at you again, you see her eyes widen and blush deeply, letting out a gasp of surprise. "Officer Jenny, you should come see this!" she says loudly, as you watch, perplexed, as she heads to the door and calls for Agent Jenny.

A short while later, Agent Jenny enters with Nurse Joy, and you see Agent Jenny freeze when she sees you too, turning pale. "Damn it!" she finally says, her face flushed with embarrassment, swallowing hard. "That's why you looked familiar! You're Nessa Ketchum, the Princess of Kanto!" she finally says.

------ Minutes later -----

Once dressed again, you were back in your old chair, with Nurse Joy and Officer Jenny sitting across from you, both very embarrassed and apologizing profusely. "We didn't know you were Miss Ketchum!" Officer Jenny says, for the umpteenth time. "You have to excuse us, with everything going on, we thought it was just another case!" she tries to explain.

You shake your head, still puzzled by the whole situation, and look at them curiously. "It's okay, a mistake, anyone can make one!" you say, trying to downplay it, but then you look at them curiously—"But could you please tell me what you mean by 'cases,' and what the new regulations are?" you ask, now impatient.

They look at you with relief, then at each other, and then at you in astonishment. "Seriously, you don't know what's going on?!" Nurse Joy says, seeing you shake your head. She exchanges a glance with Agent Jenny, and they both begin to explain.

—————-

When you finally reunited with Dawn and Brock, you were still reeling from what they had explained. You swallowed hard as you approached them. Now you understood some things, but you also wondered if Anabel, Zoey, and especially Sabrina knew or had anything to do with what was happening.

Knowing that a virus had spread, turning men into girls with penises and causing girls to grow penises, was at least as alarming as your own situation. Even though they told you there were people who seemed immune, it didn't ease your worries. Besides, you had to warn Brock and Dawn.

When you arrived, they looked at you curiously, seeing your serious and worried face. Brock was the first to speak, his expression serious. "What's wrong, Nessa? Why do you look so serious? Has something happened?" he asked, concerned. Dawn, beside him, also had a worried look.

You looked at both of them and, nodding, gathered your courage and looked at them seriously. "Honestly, I don't know how to tell you this, because I still can't believe it myself!" you said hesitantly, and finally prepared to explain what Nurse Joy and Officer Jenny had told you.

------ One hour later----

When you finally left the Pokémon Center an hour later, Brock and Dawn also had expressions of astonishment, confusion, and a little fear. At first, they thought you were joking, but the nurse approached when you called her and confirmed it. That's when they realized it wasn't a joke.

As you headed toward the town's exit, you couldn't stop your eyes from filling with tears. Looking at Dawn and Brock, you asked the question that had been nagging at you for a while. "Is that why no one notices me? Do they think I'm a freak?!" you said in a trembling voice.

Upon hearing you, both Brock and Dawn stopped in their tracks and stared at you in surprise. You saw them alarmed by the tears streaming down your face. Brock became serious and, surprisingly, wrapped you in a hug. "Don't even joke about it, Nessa! You know perfectly well what Misty and I have told you. Not everyone is like that jerk. You're not some freak!" he says in a soft but firm tone, then makes you look him in the eyes. "Besides, they're missing out if they think that! You have a big heart, and you're beautiful, brave, and a great trainer! Never doubt that!" he says, wiping your tears with his hand and giving you a loving look.

You look at him, still trembling, and nod, giving him a shy smile and a grateful hug. You see Dawn watching you, surprised, but she also agreed, which she confirmed when she gave you a hug and some words of support too. Then she looks at you seriously and whispers, "That's it, we'll sort this out once and for all! And you owe me a few things!" she says in a determined tone.

You look at her gratefully too, and nod, knowing that the time had come to explain a few things to Dawn.

—————-

Indeed, that night, when you were camping, after dinner, as you entered your tent, Dawn confronted you, giving you an intense and serious look. "It's about time you told me what's going on, isn't it, Nessa? I've respected your discomfort with dressing femininely, your shyness, but what happened this morning makes me question why you're doing this?!" she asks firmly, crossing her arms.

You look at her and nod, glancing at Pikachu, who suddenly looked at you sadly and let out a soft *chu* before hopping off your shoulder. You finally look at Dawn. "Fine, I'll tell you everything!" you say resignedly, then go to your backpack, take out a small album you've never shown Dawn, and hand it to her. "The first thing I want you to understand is what you're about to see here!" you say uncertainly.

Dawn looked at you curiously, but nodded, picked up the album, and opened it. As she looked through the photos, she smiled. You were in many of them, a little girl with a happy face, laughing. In them, you were with your mother, and with what she assumed was Gary. You were also with other children at what looked like birthday parties. She noticed many photos of you with another girl with honey-brown hair, where you were hugging and smiling.

She saw how time passed in the photos, and how you were growing up. She was surprised by how proud you seemed in the pictures, dressed in dresses and girls' clothes, and even bikinis, although there were some in boys' clothes. Finally, she came to the time when you began your Pokémon journey.

She saw, as in the photos, that you were already wearing men's clothing, and in many of them, you had very short hair, accompanied by Brock and Misty. She looked fascinated at some curious photos where you were with your Pokémon. Yu couldn't stop laughing when she saw you in some on the beach, posing and laughing in a bikini with Misty. You also appeared in some photos from photoshoots.

As I continued looking at the photos, Dawn became increasingly puzzled. She still didn't understand why, but finally, she came across a photo that made her gasp and stare at it in disbelief. Then, she looked at you. "What does this mean, Nessa?!" she said in a tone of astonishment, while pointing at the photo.

You smile when you see it; it's a photo of you from Johto. What catches her attention is that you're in it with two people she knows very well. You're wearing a very feminine and elegant blue dress, your hair is perfectly styled, and you're holding a diploma and a contest ribbon. Bayleef and Cyndaquil are by your side, and Pikachu is perched on your shoulder. Paris, a famous Poké Stylist, is next to you, as is Lila, another Poké Stylist, and your mother, who is looking at you proudly.

She stares at the photo, unable to believe what she's seeing. She continues looking and notices more photos of you at other Pokémon Contests. To confirm, she looks at you. "Those photos?! What do they mean?!" she says, puzzled, giving you a piercing look. "You were a Coordinator?!" she asks, utterly surprised.

You look at her and nod, your expression sad. "Yes, when I arrived in Johto, it was the first time I participated in contests! I'm sorry I didn't tell you, I didn't want to relive those painful moments!" you say with a sigh. Seeing that she was about to ask something, you stop her. "And before you ask, yes, Dawn, that photo is from the Goldenrod City Poké-Coordinator Grand Tournament!" you tell her, referring to the photo where you were with Paris and Lila.

Dawn opens her eyes in admiration and looks ahead, but she's surprised to see that after some photos where you appeared with the five necessary contest ribbons, you never appeared in any more contests. Even worse, where you used to appear again with long hair, wearing women's clothing and accessories, after a while, you reappeared in men's clothing, without any accessories, and without the little makeup you used to wear. And above all, she gasps when she sees you appear with your head practically shaved and looking sad, next to Brock and Misty.

Seeing her surprise and bewilderment, you sigh again. "I imagine you're wondering why there aren't any more photos in contests, or why that change of look?" you say with immense sadness, to which she nods. "That's because I didn't want to remember the hardest situation of my life!" You finally say this while looking sadly at Pikachu, watching him look at you seriously and nod.

------ FLASHBACK----

Since arriving in the Johto region, you had been much more relaxed than you had been in a long time. You had also gained confidence with your victory in the orange archipelago, and above all, with your increased self-esteem, thanks to your recent modeling gig. Although being recognized still made you nervous, you enjoyed it immensely.

Also, since arriving, you had met a couple of people with whom you became friends. One was your first friend-rival in the region, Cassey, who was very enthusiastic about striped Pokémon and especially baseball.

You also made friends with several other people, but what really made an impression on you was meeting a boy from Spring Town named Jimmy. Although he had received his first Pokémon some time ago, he had postponed starting his journey. When you met him, you thought he was quite handsome and kind-hearted, and even though you argued about Pokémon, you couldn't help but gradually fall in love with him.

This was a problem, because when you met him, you were wearing very baggy clothes, and even though your hair was long again, you were pretending to be a boy. He didn't realize this, and to your embarrassment, he treated you the same as Brock. You overheard many conversations that made you nervous, especially when he talked about girls.

He didn't suspect anything, and when you ran into him, he was very kind to you. But things got complicated when, after discovering Pokémon Contests, you and Misty signed up for one to try it out. Although you didn't win anything in that first contest, and although Misty enjoyed it too, only you decided to keep participating.

Little by little, you balanced gym battles and contests, as well as photo shoots. Although exhausting, it was a time you really enjoyed, and for the first time, you felt at ease. You even dressed like a girl. Your mother was thrilled to see you in the contests, and some of your Pokémon were more than excited to participate, especially Chikorita-Baylef, Cyndaquil, and, to your surprise, Squirtle.

But what you didn't expect was that when you participated in the Grand Coordinator Tournament, invited by Paris, who had seen you in other competitions and had met you at a photoshoot where coordinators from multiple regions, such as Kanto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, Kalos, Unova, and Galar, were invited, what you never expected was that participating in that tournament would turn your relationship with Jimmy into a living hell.

You had entered the tournament very excited; you only needed one more ribbon to participate in the Grand Festival, so you had prepared thoroughly. You had even agreed to let your mother send you a special dress for the event. To your great fortune, and to your disbelief, you had reached the final, where you had defeated a coordinator from the Unova region named Molly.

When they handed you the diploma that certified your victory, and gave you the winner's ribbon, you couldn't stop smiling, happier than ever before, and seeing how your mother, who had traveled to Johto to witness the final, looked at you with immense pride, what you didn't see at that moment, were some gray eyes looking intensely at you from afar.

As you left the venue, beaming and chatting animatedly with your mother, you heard a voice a few meters away. "That was a great victory, Ash! Congratulations!" Jimmy's voice says, and you see him a few meters away, leaning against a wall, looking at you very seriously. His tone wasn't very encouraging. "Or should I call you Nessa, would that be better?!" he says with obvious sarcasm, giving you a cold stare.

You look at him in surprise. You thought he wasn't coming, since he'd told you he didn't have time, so it was strange to see him standing there. Even so, you smile at him. You didn't think he'd be angry. "Jimmy, it's so good to see you!" you say with a wide smile as you approach him. "And thank you! Although you could have let us know, right?!" you say happily.

He looks at you, still very serious, and doesn't say anything at first, but then he comes closer. "So, exactly what did you want me to tell you, huh?! So you could keep lying, or make fun of me even more, huh, Ketchum?!" he says in a low, annoyed tone.

Hearing this, you look at him, perplexed. You thought that even though he was surprised, he wouldn't take it badly. "Jimmy, what?! Why are you angry?" you ask fearfully. Your mother and Misty discreetly move away from you.

He looks at you, even more annoyed, and turns to leave. "If you don't know the reason, you should get it checked out, don't you think?!" he says venomously, giving you one last furious look before striding off.

You stand there, unsure how to react, for a few moments, until finally, Misty frowns and takes your hand. "Don't worry, he's just surprised! Now let's celebrate! I'll go with you to talk to him later!" she said, trying to sound confident. Your mother, beside you, nodded, giving you a loving look.

You nodded, still hesitant, trying to shake off your nervousness. Afterward, you went to dinner to celebrate, and the atmosphere lifted your spirits, making you forget, for the moment, your encounter with Jimmy. By the time you returned to the Pokémon Center, you were very happy again.

You were about to go to the room you shared with Misty when it occurred to you to ask the nurse if Jimmy was staying there. She nodded. You looked at Misty, and you both decided to go talk to Jimmy and clear things up.

When you reached his bedroom door, you knocked lightly. It opened almost immediately, revealing Jimmy, his face serious. He glared at you, crossing his arms. "Did you want something?! I'm not in the mood to put up with any more lies!" he said venomously, giving you a withering look.

You looked at him in surprise and sadness, but you mustered your courage. "I came to talk, Jimmy! I think we need to clear this up, because it's not what it seems!" you said firmly, looking at him. Misty, beside you, nodded. "Can we come in?" you asked nervously.

He looked at both of you, and although he frowned, he nodded and stepped aside to let you in. You did what you did, and then he closed the door, staring at you with a very serious expression. "Well, what are you trying to tell me, huh?! That it's not true, that you lied to me for weeks, or that you all laughed at me?!" he asks, sounding very annoyed.

You look at him sadly and swallow hard. "Jimmy, it's not like that! I never meant to lie to you, I just didn't know how to tell you! And we never laughed at you!" you say firmly, while Misty, beside you, nods. "You have to understand that all I wanted..." you try to speak, but he raises a hand.

Jimmy looks at you, his face growing increasingly furious. "You wanted to tell me, you say?! Don't make me laugh! You could have told me the first day! You've been lying to me for weeks and weeks, and I have to find out from a magazine Marina showed me?! I couldn't believe it!" He says, pulling out a magazine with a picture of you in beachwear and showing it to you. "See, you don't even deny it! You're the Nessa, the beauty of Kanto!" he says contemptuously, spitting angrily.

You look at him, heartbroken, and feel tears welling up in your eyes. "I never wanted to hide from you, I just wanted you to see me as more than just a pretty face!" you say, your voice trembling. "I just wanted to be respected!" you say, a lump forming in your throat.

Far from calming down, he glares at you with pure hatred. "Respect you, you say?! In what way exactly?! By being a slut, a cocktease, and pretending to be my friend, just to make fun of what I told you?!" he says angrily, ignoring Misty's indignant exclamation and the look of immense sadness on your face, where tears were already streaming. "Oh, well, now the disgusting, filthy freak is crying?! What's wrong, does it hurt that I'm telling you the truth or what?!" he says maliciously, giving you a look of disgust.

You stared at him, feeling your heart break and tears streaming down your face. Pikachu on your shoulder let out an indignant "Chu!" in a threatening tone, while Misty made a move to lunge at Jimmy, but you stopped her. "How can you say that, Jimmy?! She never wanted the spotlight, much less to laugh at you!" Misty said furiously.

But Jimmy didn't back down and looked at Misty too. "Birds of a feather, the tomboyish cock-sucking bastard, defending her, of course! You two had so much fun, sucking cocks by the dozen, remembering what I talked about with that Ketchum whore, didn't you?!" he said with a tone of pure hatred.

You and Misty tried to talk to him, but he wouldn't let you explain, and threatened to make public the story of a mentally ill freak, a woman who pretended to be a boy and was a model. He even went so far as to question whether you had a penis between your legs, and that deep down you were a freak of nature, which was the last straw, because at that point Pikachu shot a lightning bolt at Jimmy, because he was obviously outraged. You found out later, because you ran out of the room, crying uncontrollably.

From that night, you only vaguely remembered going to Brock's room. When he saw you, he looked at you with concern, and you hugged him, crying uncontrollably. When Misty arrived minutes later, she and Brock tried to calm you down, but it was impossible. Only your mother's arrival finally convinced you to go to sleep.

That night you barely slept a wink, and the next morning, when you woke up, your eyes were red from crying so much. Misty had tried to cheer you up, but she had failed. And the worst part was that even though Jimmy had left the Pokémon Center early, he had done his final deed beforehand.

When you, Brock, Misty, and your mother left the Pokémon Center, you found many people pointing and whispering at you. Some frowned and looked at you with what seemed like disgust. You didn't understand anything. Until you saw a flyer hanging on a wall, with your picture and the text, *The face of depravity, Ash or Nessa Ketrchum? A mentally ill and depraved individual, posing as a man when she is a woman, and profiting from it*.

You opened your eyes in disbelief, and although thanks to Officer Jenny you managed to get the posters taken down, the news spread quickly, and by the time you finally left Goldenrod City, many people were pointing at you.

After that, you were very depressed for a few days, and although first your mother and then Brock and Misty tried to cheer you up, they were unable to. Finally, when you arrived in the next city, you made a firm decision, and although you talked to your mother about it, and she tried to change your mind, you remained resolute.

You disappeared for a few hours, accompanied by Pikachu, going to various places. When you returned to find Brock and Misty, they couldn't stop gasping in surprise, and in Misty's case, with sadness mixed with horror. Where your hair used to reach almost to your bottom, neatly styled and shiny, now you had a head with a finger's width of hair. You had removed your earrings and makeup, and were wearing completely masculine clothing.

You had decided to send all your women's clothes home, along with the contest ribbons, and you had only stayed, with a pair of women's pajamas and a white one-piece swimsuit, although Brock and Misty tried to convince you to reconsider, you remained firm, from now on, you would say that you were a boy, and you abandoned the contests, the only thing they achieved was that you did not abandon modeling.

-----End of Flachback----

When you finished your story, Dawn, he hugged you. "My God, I'm so sorry! I never thought it was for such a horrible reason!" She says in an affectionate tone, but then she becomes very serious. "This is going to change! Tomorrow we are going shopping, you need something nice for the next contest!" he says with determination. "And don't even think about protesting, Nessa ketchum! I won't allow you not to participate in the contests because of an undesirable person!" He ends up telling you, when he sees that you are going to protest.
