    for($x = 0; $x <= $counter; $x++){
        foreach ($Categories[$x] as $key => $value){
            echo $key.' '. $value.'<br>';
        }

As you said you will need a foreach loop to manupulate you array.

Example

$array = array
(
'0' => array
    (
        'category_id' => '5',
        'category' => 'Pages'
    )
);  


$new_array = array();
foreach($array as $val)
{
     $new_array[$val['category_id']] = $val['category'];
}

var_dump($new_array);

this will output

array(1) { [5]=> string(5) "Pages" }

$output=array();
foreach($array as $k=>$v)
{
  $output[$v['category_id']]=$v['category'];
}

echo "<pre />";
print_r($output);

Demo1

Demo 2

for multidimensinal result :

$output=array();
foreach($array as $k=>$v)
{
  $output[][$v['category_id']]=$v['category'];
}

echo "<pre />";
print_r($output);

Code:

<?php

$arr = array(
    array(
        'category_id' => 5      ,
        'category'    => 'Pages',
    ),
);

$new = array();
foreach ($arr as $item) {
    $new[] = array(
        $item['category_id'] => $item['category']
    );
}

print_r($new);

Result:

Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [5] => Pages
        )

)
