a general purpose model. No real strengths but no real weaknesses.

"This is seriously creepy," said Pikachu. "Humans turning into pokemon? Well, actually, that would explain why they keep finding new breeds of pokemon."

"I guess," said Ash, who was still somewhat in shock. "Uh oh."

"I don't like 'uh oh's," said Pikachu, stopping his investigation of a bush. "They are not quite as bad as a 'oops' but still."

"There's a police cycle over there lying on its side," said Ash, pushing through the brush to investigate.

Pikachu followed and sniffed around. "Perfume. I think it's Arresting Fragrance #5."

"An Officer Jenny, then," said Ash, following his pet's logic and wondering how the heck Pikachu knew what brand of perfume an Officer Jenny wore.

"She wasn't alone either," said Pikachu. "My guess is a Nurse Joy. Simply because where you find one the other isn't usually far off."

"Maybe I should call for them? They might be around here still," said Ash.

"Yeah, and whatever got them might come after us." Pikachu checked the saddlebags. Mainly because she was hungry. "Ooooh. She packed a bento. Tuna salad. Not a very traditional bento, but... Hey, her pokeball is still in here. It's been opened though."

Ash came over and examined the pokeball. "There should be a pokeball for the Nurse Joy too. They usually have a Chansey."

"Got it," said Pikachu, looking over the bento. "I think I should investigate this tuna salad. It might have an important clue."

"I didn't know you liked tuna," said Ash.

"How often did we actually have intelligible conversations?"

"Good point." Ash held up one ball. "Whatever you are. Return!"

The red capture light went out and something returned. Ash repeated the process with the other one.

Ash then tried his pokedex. "Unknown pokemon. Heavily injured. Suggest immediate pokecenter treatment."

"I've got a very bad feeling about this," said Ash and Pikachu simultaneously.

"Hey, maybe this is a clue," said Pikachu, "there's a case of something open over here. It looks like some kind of gemstone?"

"Watch it, it may be an evolution stone," said Ash, coming around the fallen motorcycle.

"Uh oh," said Pikachu, as the stone erupted in brilliant light.
