'Mallow' was examining her body as if she'd never seen it before, which to be fair, did make sense, since the new Mallow had just woken up after claiming the body.
"Okay, now, just slow down a second and think Ash." 'Mallow' said to herself, standing up straight and stretching. "Who is this girl, and why did Celebi choose to have me possess her?" 'Mallow' closed her eyes, and focused. "Okay, so, my new name is Mallow, I'm the daughter of a chef, the old Mallow was following in her father's footsteps, along with planning to be a Grass type expert, while my new older brother is traveling, perfecting his skills, I go to a Pokémon school, and share a class with four others, two girls, and two boys, and this is the region Mew mentioned has the crystals like the one she gave to Serena, the people in this region pretty much worship four Legendaries that protect it, with this island's guardian being called Tapu Koko..."
"Well, I'm not sure what I'm going to do, but I'm not going to stay on an island running a restaurant all my life, I need to travel. The Pokémon School sounds neat, and the two other girls will probably be two of the other versions of me, I need to get ahold of one of these "Z-Rings" and a Z-Crystal, they sound neat." She concluded. "I need to get to Lillie's, if she and Lana are two of the other versions of me, then we can brainstorm together." The possessed girl put away the cleaning materials, put everything she'd need to spend the night at Lillie's in her bag, along with getting Bounsweet's Poké Ball, called her out, and took off after locking up the restaurant.

'Lana' was frowning as she scrubbed thoroughly in the bathtub, washing the cum off her stomach, and waiting on her swimsuit to get done in the washing machine, but the washing wasn't what annoyed her.
"Darn it, why did I get a body so short and underdeveloped..." She muttered. "I can only hope the fast aging will mature this body a little..." She got out, and wiped herself off with a towel, then she wrapped herself in it, went up to her room, and then got out and put on an identical swimsuit. She then began dressing in her normal outfit over it, but stopped and frowned at the sandals. "I'm going to have to do something about these. If I'm going to have to live in this body, then I'm not going to wear something that will slow me down long distances or make running harder." She put them on anyway, then got the swimsuit from before, and hung it up in her room to dry, packed her stuff, wrote a note for 'her' parents and sisters, telling them where she'd be, then took off, calling back Lapras, Popplio following behind her.
------------
Both girls met up on the way, and shot each other a glance,
'Okay, so, I don't know if the cell left behind actually managed to possess her or not.' 'Lana' thought, remembering seeing the cell dropped off at Mallow's.
'Okay, so Lana was probably one of the others, but how can I be sure...' 'Mallow' wondered.
'I know!' Both girls thought at once.
"Hey Lana/Mallow, does the name Ash Ketchum... mean... anything... to you...?" Both asked in unison.
"Well, that pretty much proves it." 'Lana' commented flatly.
"Well, if we're both in the group, Lillie probably is too..." 'Mallow' mentioned. "but who did the other two Ash Zygarde Cells go to, let alone the Drone Cells..."
"I just wish we'd have more awareness before merging with a host." 'Lana' muttered. "I drew the short end of the stick... literally." 'Mallow' went to open her mouth. "And Bonnie doesn't count, since she's a couple of years younger than us." 'Mallow' put a hand on 'Lana's' shoulder comfortingly.
"You never know, things could improve as you get older, and our hosts should start advanced aging soon, since Mewtwo is probably talking to our original self right now." 'Mallow' comforted.
"You know, I wonder why Celebi sent us back before our original self got the power." 'Lana' mused.
"Who knows," 'Mallow' replied with a shrug. "but anyway, even if I'm wrong, we can probably get help from the Legendaries, maybe even being able to make a wish on Jirachi." 'Lana' grinned.
"Thanks for that." She said, as her peer gave a big smile, and nodded, before both took off again.
------------
'Lillie' had her arms crossed and her right leg crossed over her left, with a frown on her face, her hat on a table next to her.
"Why was she afraid of Pokémon." She wondered aloud. She focused, trying to get a glimpse of her repressed memories. She held her head in pain as a memory of when her host was younger briefly flashed through her mind. She couldn't make out much, but she caught glimpses of a Jellyfish like creature trying to grab her, and a terrifying four legged creature lunging at her. "What did I just see?" She wondered, rubbing her temples. "With how young she must have been, it's no wonder she is terrified, especially if it hurts her that much just trying to remember..."
"Hello!" 'Lillie' heard a voice chirp. She turned to it, and saw a Pokémon that Lillie's memories supplied as being called Cutiefly on the windowsill. She reflexively reached for her Pokédex, only to realize her mistake.
'Okay, so maybe I should use this to see if Lillie's trauma will affect me.' She thought. 'I really hope it doesn't, because that would really suck.' Just to be safe, she took it slowly, and raised her arm out so it could land on it. The Cutiefly did so, and while it approaching gave a brief memory flash, and it landing caused her a brief reaction of shivering, it over-all didn't have a big effect, something the new Lillie could deal with.
"Wow, all the others said you freaked out if we got too close, so I kept my distance, but you don't look like it now." The Cutiefly, which the Zygarde in her was informing her of it being male said. "I wonder why I feel like I'm nearby a Legendary..."
"I can explain it." 'Lillie' replied, causing the Cutiefly's eyes to widen.
"How did you-?" The Cutiefly began.
"I'm not actually this girl." 'Lillie' replied. "I used to be a boy named Ash Ketchum, I was involved with many events, including being selected by Azelf and the Orange Islands Lugia as their chosen one, and saving Arceus, along with helping many other Legendary Pokemon. Recently, I was fused with a Zygarde, and now its cells are mine, and have some sentience, and have been going out and possessing girls and merging with their minds to turn them into copies of the original me, with the girls' memories and some differences, with the blessings of Arceus and all the Legendaries I helped, because they felt I deserved a harem, and this makes there be more of me to save the world, so not as much pressure is on me. As I'm part Zygarde, I can understand Pokémon."
"Wow..." The Cutiefly said, stunned close to speechless. "The human who did those things is well known among Pokémon, but not much is known about him. The fact that you're part Zygarde is enough to convince me... Please, mister, err, or should I say, miss chosen one, could you make me your Pokémon?"
"Sure." 'Lillie' agreed with a smile and a nod. "Unfortunately, I don't have any Poké Balls right now, and I need an excuse for why I'm suddenly able to touch Pokémon before you can be seen with me." Cutiefly gave a happy sound at that, and nested on her head. "Just be aware, my hat goes there."
