Pikachu's first words
I do not own Pokémon
It has been several years since their journey has started and Ash and his little friend have been together for a while. Every night while Ash was lying in his sleeping bag talking to his friends before bed Pikachu listened and listened. After they all fell asleep, the little mouse tried to imitate their language. It was hard but he didn't give up. After four years of traveling Pikachu was about to make a major breakthrough. Now he just had to surprise him…
Ash, May, Max and Brock were sitting on fallen logs in a forest clearing while eating lunch. Pikachu sat on the grass eating some of his poke food and chewed it with content. After taking a single bite too big he hiccupped a small lightning bolt after he swallowed. He blushed slightly and rubbed his head.
"Cha…"
Ash smiled at him.
"Slow down there little buddy. Wouldn't want you to choke", said Ash and Pikachu gave him a thumb's up.
"Pika!" he said, feeling upset with himself that he still hasn't carried out his plan yet. After lunch he sat on May's lap as she rubbed him behind the ears. Now he thought would be the perfect opportunity. He opened his mouth slowly and tried to say his friend's name.
"A…Ash…" he squeaked. Everyone fell silent.
"Was that you May?" asked Ash.
"No it sounded like it came from Pikachu. But it can't be…" she looked at him. The mouse straightened up and looked at his dense friend.
"Ash", he said a little more confidently now.
The boy just stared at him.
"Pikachu?" he asked.
"Yeah?"
"WOHA!" jumped the boy.
"Since when do you know how to talk?" he asked in shock.
"Since wast week", he cooed.
"You knew how to talk for a week and you didn't tell me?"
The mouse looked down sadly.
"I wanted to supwise you", he said gloomily.
"Don't feel bad Pikachu I'm not mad I'm a little shocked that's all",
Pikachu looked up at him with a smile.
"So… how did you learn how to talk?" he asked.
"I wistened to youe conwesations evwi night before you went to bed and twied to mimic them aftu you fell asweep…"
"Pikachu that's incredible", said the boy in awe. The mouse smiled bashfully and rubbed the back of his head.
"It's nothing…"
"Your accent sounds Like Meowth's though", said May.
"What was that?" he glared at her.
"Nothing! You still sound much cuter than him. Right guys?"
"Yeah your accent is really adorable Pikachu", said Ash and the mouse blushed. If that were even possible.
"But why did you learn how to speak human language Pikachu?" asked Ash.
"Because ever since you saved my life at the start of your journey when we became friends I wanted to speak your language, so would could speak properly. As true friends",
"But you are my true friend Pikachu. You always have been. You didn't have to do that",
"I know but I wanted to able to truly express it",
Ash's eyes sparkled, touched by his little buddy's efforts.
"Come here…" he opened his arms and the little mouse leaped into his arms for a hug.
"I wove you Ash…" said the mouse.
Ash chuckled
"I love you too buddy…" he said as everyone watched the two friends happily without being to help but shedding a tear or two from their eyes.
The end…
Well there's an original idea. I hope you realize that they didn't mean they love each other in the romantic sense but in a more of a parental or friendship sense.
Anyway I hope you like it.
