An Unforgettable Circus

A/N: A long-due request from a guy usernamed Barbacar... sorry for not being able to do this before!

*has some minor ShowoffShipping*

Max has been waiting for the Transform Circus for weeks! It comes every year or so. Ash had a part-time job there, and eagerly suggested it to everyone. So here he was, with Dawn, Bonnie, and Juan, his new friend from Loson about to enter the circus. "Roll up, roll up to the Transform Circus!" an elderly man exclaimed. Max showed the three tickets and entered the complex, which was filled with many exciting rides and games.

On the way to the tent, they saw Ash, who was seemingly practicing for his act.

"Hey, Ash!" Dawn exclaimed.

Ash stopped and looked at them, and smiled. "Well, look who's here!"

"Hello!" Bonnie and Max also greeted him, while Juan asked Dawn who the guy was. After making some introductions, Juan did the Losonese custom of pagmamano and since Ash went to Loson for a time as well, accepted it.

"Well, we should be off to the tent now," Bonnie said, and so they went.

"Don't forget to watch me! I'm the first act!" Ash added before they were beyond hearing range.

The first act was acrobatics, where a strangely familiar Sceptile leaped from bar to bar like the Pokémon was in a forest. They were puzzled at why Ash was replaced but just ignored it. The Sceptile was really cool; a true ninja at his finest. The second act was a Munchlax who can eat ten times its own weight. He ate a hundred of Professor Oak's and May's famed pink Pokéblocks! But the third act was different: it was a magic trick, and it needed two volunteers.

"Let's see..." the ringmaster chose. "Ah! You two over there!" He pointed to Max and Dawn They, being the most enthusiastic, accepted and were squealing all the way to the center (BOTH of them).

"Okay, in this trick, I am going to turn these two kids into two Pokémon magicians!" the ringmaster announced, then brought a cabinet to the stage. "Now, please enter this magic cabinet."

"Huh?" Max asked, suspicious of what was happening, but dismissed all thoughts as Dawn pushed him inside. Once closed, they waited. And waited, and waited...

After what seemed a while (they were sleeping), they were released. Max expected them to hit the ground hard but then he noticed he was only a few inches tall. Not only that, but his limbs were small and chubby. He wanted to get up, but when he got up he felt a pair of ears droop over his face., then straighten. HIS ears. He also felt a tail wag. HIS tail. He opened his eyes to see the crowd WAY bigger.

"Pika... Chu?! (Hey... Wha-?!)" Max exclaimed. He was a Pikachu!

Dawn also slowly woke up; she was a Piplup. "Pip... Lup! (So tired... Hey!)" She exclaimed as she also discovered she was a Pokémon.

"And now," the ringmaster shouted, "these two Pokémon will perform magic tricks!"

A blue magic hat suddenly fell on Max's head and a pink bow on Dawn's. A two wands, one blue and one pink, appeared.

"Pikapika pikapi, pipi pichu pikachu? (What are we gonna do with this, say abra-kadabra and expect something to happen?)" Max asked, but then suddenly magic sprung up from the wand and changed Dawn's bow into a balloon. "Chaa... (Whoah...)"

"Pip lup pip pip lup! (I wanna try! I wanna try!)" Dawn exclaimed, then also said the magic word. She then started to float. "Pip pip lup pip! (This is AMAZING!)"

"Pikachu! (Yeah!)" Max agreed. So they had a little fun, while the crowd cooed, cheered and awwed. Eventually their turn was up and they were turned back into humans. Then they watched the final act with Ash, who mysteriously reappeared. A Primarina was catapulted into the air while spinning, doing a Counter Shield. To the crowd, it was just another circus show. But to Max and Dawn, it was a completely unforgettable experience!
