Disclaimer: Sadly I don't own the anime or the mangas..I wish I owned those cute little Pikachus!
A/N: Whoo, another Pikashipping fanfic after what..three months? Wow..I'm actually writing fanfiction again. Well I was inspired by a friend's Pearlshipping picture. It was just so cute and suddenly it struck me. Why not let Pikachu do this?
What would have happen if DP086 was a Pikashipping centric episode...those were my thoughts the day after I saw that picture.
So this is dedicated to my pal, EndlessSummer181, the one who drew that Pearlshipping picture that inspired me to write to fanfic.
Also, a special thanks to my friend wayc for proofreading this.

"Say Pikachu, wanna see how Hikari's doing with her contest outfit?"
A cutely expressed yawn just answered the trainer as the said Pokémon continued to rest upon his shoulder. She was near the brink of dreamland and felt like there was nothing to do. Sure she could play with the other Pokémon, but she didn't want to leave her precious trainer. Pikachu just felt too lazy to do anything but cuddle upon Satoshi's shoulder. "Cha.." She yawned once more as the black spiky haired trainer chuckled at the little one.
"I'll just take that as a yes." He strolled through the halls as one of his hands repetitively petted his beloved Pokémon. "I wonder when our costumes are going to arrive.. I can't wait to dress ourselves in it! Us as the thunder god, Raijin, that just screams awesome doesn't it?" Satoshi laughed proudly at his genius idea while his Pikachu sweatdropped at it.
The yellow mouse then succumbed to the tender touches by her trainer and cooed as they continued to the balcony where Hikari sat in thought. The wind aided the tender gestures and as a result, the Pokémon felt even more drowsy. "Pika.." The mouse cooed at the gentle breeze that blew upon her fur.
The trainer and Pokémon soon arrived at their destination and saw a frustrated contest coordinator crumple up a piece of paper. "This is going nowhere..I can't design anything!" It was "Artist's Block". Every artist had one once in a while and for Hikari, this was just the wrong night to have one. "I really hate 'Artists Block'.." She whined once more and attempted another as she dismissed her dark blue hair from her face.
"Hey Hikari, how's the design coming along?" Satoshi glanced at the crumpled papers around the balcony and chuckled once more. "Wow..that's a lot of paper you've gathered and crumpled up."
The said trainer laughed nervously as she looked around and witnessed the mess she made. "Yeah..I didn't even realize that I used that much paper. I even have more just in case. I think I overloaded myself with these art supplies and got double the stuff I needed." She placed her signature ski cap on the table and ran a hand through her hair as she sighed, discouraged at her designs.
Pikachu smirked as an idea popped into her head while they talked. A special "gift" for her trainer that would count as a fun activity. She jumped from Satoshi's shoulder and quickly got the materials she needed to make her special "gift". The fellow trainers chatted and failed to notice the blur that sped out of the room.

"..so don't get discouraged Hikari. Your designs are fine. I'm sure you'll do better in this contest." Satoshi grinned and gave her a thumbs up to make sure her hope remained. "Hey, ya might even get the prize of having a photo shoot. Then you'll be famous and yeah."
He laughed sheepishly and ceased as they heard a certain voice call from the room. "Satoshi! Your outfit is here!"
"Alright! Thanks Takeshi!," he yelled back with a giant grin plastered on his face. "Come on Pikachu, lets go try out our outf-Pikachu?" The trainer glanced around the balcony and couldn't see his best buddy anywhere. "Man, Pikachu, where are you?!" The youth ran out of the balcony and continued the search for his friend.
He looked through other trainers' rooms, the kitchen, the stadium, but couldn't find her there. Joi-san found the trainer and scolded him about staying up past the curfew and escorted him back to his room. "I guess I'll continue my search tomorrow," he sadly spoke as his head fell with the thought of losing his best friend. "Oh, Pikachu.."
"Pikapi?"
His head rose back up as he heard his nickname being called, but shook his head. "Nah, that can't be Pikachu.."
"Chuuuuu"
"Must be an illusion trying to trick me.." He murmured as suddenly an electric shock scurried through him like an iron tail, but even more electrifying. Once the electricity stopped running through his veins he glanced down to see a yellow mouse that resembled his Pikachu. "Pikachu..?" He questioned as the said Pokémon nodded and smiled at the trainer.
The youth attacked the mouse in a grand hug of death, relieved that he found her. "Chaaa" Pikachu was happy that her trainer was happy to see her, but if he could stop spinning her, it would be a lot better. "Pikapiii"
Satoshi blinked and stopped as he laughed nervously. "Whoops, sorry about that." That's when he finally noticed something in her hand. "Hey, what's this?" He sat down on the bed and petted the little one until he saw the paper. "Pikachu..did you..do this?" The said Pokémon gazed away with a blush as the trainer continued to stare at the sheet.
It was a collage of sorts.
The mouse drew four different scenarios between the two. First there was a sleeping scene where they slept in the bed peacefully without a care in the world. The second was them hugging one another to celebrate a job well done or their reunion after they've been separated. Another was Pikachu being petted by Satoshi once more. It was the last picture that shocked him the most. It was themselves kissing one another with fireworks in the background. The pop-up hearts around the picture added to the lovey-dovey atmosphere.
Silence dominated the room as the trainer remained star-struck at the picture. Pikachu took this time to gaze at her trainer and smile. It was now or never. She gave him a quick peck on the lips and jumped from his arms to the floor with a mighty grin and blush on her face.
Satoshi just touched his lips.
Then he coughed to break the awkward moment. "...um why don't we try on the costumes now..."
