  Summary

  Socially-Inept British Woman gets dumped into the body of Traumatised Child’s very first Pokémon, because the only sensible adult in the Pantheon of Legends tries to help OTHER Traumatised Child not die a SEVENTH time!

  This will come to be remembered as the worst mistake any Legendary Pokémon has made since the original Mew wiped out the dinosaurs.

  Or: Cresselia sees that Ash is struggling under the weight of the world, and subsequently summons a paperclip maximiser to solve the paperclip shortage! What happens next will shock you!
