Ice: Ok. Well, this is something that literally hit me this morning and I thought I'd run with it for awhile. I don't own anything so don't expect anything. A thank you goes to Yuka Kitsune for her tips about spacing the talking. I was going to do that first and I just didn't quite like it, but now I see that it's easier to read now. Thanks!

My story of how I met him is a long one. I'm not really sure where to begin. I suppose the beginning is best and yet where it all began, I'm not even sure. I guess I should just tell it the best I know.

For starters, my name is Sakuya Tadaki. I'm 17 and a somewhat experienced pokemon trainer. I'm proud of my pokemon partners. They've helped me through so much. Pichu, Seviper, Swellow, Gyarados, Scyther, and Quilava are the only ones I can trust. Every human that I've ever known has betrayed me...that is, until I met him.

I remember that day like it was yesterday even though it's been a year now. That morning I got news of a new rare pokemon just outside of the town I was staying in. I can't help it when I get curious. I just had to check it out. I got out of town with little trouble and I was soon scouting the land to find this new creature. I soon called on my friends to help me.

"Swellow! Scyther! I need your help. Please search everywhere in the vicinity and if you see anything out of the ordinary, report back to me, ok?" they nodded and took off.

Pichu couldn't stand it anymore and I never really forced him to stay in his pokeball. Pichu viewed the pokeball as something to rest in when he felt lazy. Pichu walked along beside me as I started checking behind bushes to see if anything was hiding. I wasn't having any luck so far and neither were Swellow and Scyther. We met up again by a pond.

"Well, I guess the news was wrong. Maybe there's nothing out here that we haven't seen before."

I heard Scyther growl as he tensed up. I got up to see what spooked him. I couldn't see anything. He started running towards the bushes and I tried to follow him. A blue orb shot out and sent Scyther flying backwards into the pond. I ran and called him back to his pokeball. I turned around and saw a creature covered in a blue mist. It appeared to be a dog-like creature, but I couldn't be positive. Another blue orb was sent out and attacked Swellow. I managed to call her back in time before she was hit. I thought it was safe and only I faced it. I attempted to walk up to it slowly. I tried talking to calm it.

"Hi. You're new around here aren't you? It's ok. I only want to look at you," a twig snapped and it jerked in my direction, "Take it easy, fella. I'm not going to hurt you."

This time a smaller rainbow ray was blasted at what I thought would have been me. I forgot about Pichu! He was trying to follow me and tripped over a stick. I ran and grabbed him and we both were struck by the ray. Still holding on to him, I was sent backwards. The creature ran and I haven't seen it since then.

I would like to pay it back for leaving me there, cut and bruised holding onto a pokemon that could barely breathe after such a hit. I felt something warm flow into my eye. I tried to open them, but all I saw was red. I guess I had hit my head on some rocks. I wasn't really sure. I passed out and faintly remember waking to a voice.

"Hey! Miss! Are you alright? Miss? Oh no," and that was all I heard.

I woke up a day later in a hospital. I wasn't sure where I was, but I remembered what was important to me.

"Pichu! Where are you?"

"Hey, take it easy. You're alright."

"No! Pichu! Where is he? Is he ok?"

"Yes, he's fine now. Nurse Joy has checked all of your pokemon. She's bringing Pichu up soon."

"Oh thank goodness. Where am I? Who are you?"

"I'm Ash Ketchum and you're in Celadon City."

"Ah. Thanks, Ash. My name is Sakuya Tadaki."

"Sakuya? Tadaki? Are you by any chance Tomo Tadaki's sister?"

"Ah! You know him? When's the last time you saw him?"

"It's been a month today."

"Oh."

My brother, Tomoyai Tadaki, is the sole reason for my journey. He left home two years ago and hasn't been seen since. I've been searching for the last year and a half. Any news I hear about him being sighted gives me hope.

"I guess you haven't seen your brother in awhile huh?"

"It's been two years."

"Wow. You look just like him. How old are you?"

"Seventeen."

"Hmm. You look older than that."

"Thanks I guess. How old are you?"

"Eighteen. Nurse Joy should be here soon with Pichu. What happened out there anyway?"

"News was going around about a new rare pokemon. I wanted to see it. I thought if it was rare, my brother would be interested in it."

"He wasn't anywhere around was he?"

"No. It attacked Scyther without warning. I saved Swellow from its attack. Pichu and I were the last victims."

"What did this thing look like?"

"I'm not really sure. It looked like it was covered in a blue mist. It resembled a dog."

"Hmm. I wonder what it is. I could have the professor check into it. He might know something about it. Would you like to come with me?"

"Umm...sure. I'd like that."

A knock at the door.

"Miss Tadaki? Ash? I've brought Miss Tadaki's pokemon," called Nurse Joy.

"Oh yes, you can come in," Ash replied.

"Hello, Miss Tadaki. It's a good thing Ash found you when he did. Any longer and Pichu might not have made it."

With this Pichu had jumped from Nurse Joy and climbed up the bed to hug me.

"Oh, Pichu, I'm so sorry. We never should have gone to check it out. I'm sorry," Pichu shook his head.

"I guess he doesn't mind. I guess he must trust you a lot," Ash remarked.

"Yes. I found him when he was abandoned. A pack of mightyena was about to attack him. I couldn't just stand there so Scyther and I scared them off. He's been with me ever since."

"Wow. That's really great. He reminds me of my Pikachu. He won't stay in a pokeball either. He's playing down at the park right now. I'll get him when we leave, that is, if you're up to leaving today."

"Yes, that would be fine. How's Scyther?"

"He's just fine. He's probably still resting though. Whatever attacked you certainly did a number to you and your pokemon," commented Nurse Joy.

"It was very strong. I wish I could have identified it."

"Well, that's what we're going to see Professor Oak about. He might know something," Ash went on, "You set to go?"

"Yeah. Just let me check my pack and I'll be right down."

I was walking out the front door almost fifteen minutes later. Pichu rode on my shoulder as we set off for the park. Pikachu and his other pokemon came running as soon as they saw him. Pichu jumped off me to inspect Pikachu. Small electric jolts came from both of their cheeks. It ended with a hug.

"I guess Pikachu has a new friend now. That's good," said Ash as he called his other pokemon back.

"Yes. Pichu needs a friend like him. This will be a good trip after all."

"Yep."

With Pichu back on my shoulder and Pikachu riding on Ash, we set off for Pallet Town.

Ice: Well? Does it sound good? Should I continue this? Please review and let me know.
