Prolouge

It was quiet, something not unusual for Kanto's Power Plant. The only sound that could be heard was the faint buzzing and work of machinery. That was all about to change in a second. Doors busted open as two men hurried in, bags slung around their shoulders. They walked in a hurry, obviously knowing where they were going. They made no effort to move silently, their footsteps echoing throughout the building, startling the few pokemon that lived there. They zigged and zagged through the abandoned building til they reached the back. That's where things got interesting. They examined the wall carefully, seemingly looking for something specific.

Meanwhile, a pair of eyes watched them from behind one of the machines, belonging to a tiny little Pichu, obviously recently hatched. His parents had told him to wait inside the machine while they got berries from the nearby forest. However, his curiosity got the better of him. As the little Pichu poked his head out more, an odd thing was noticeable about him. His fur was slightly more orange than a normal Pichu's would be. One could normally put it down to the lighting of the room, however his parents seem to notice it's orangeness in any form of light.

He perked his ears up as one of the strange men made a noise and pressed a button. He squeaked in surprise as a surprise door opened in front of the man.

As Pichu stumbled back, the man chuckled. "Yay, we've found the switch!" He cheered, doing a little dance on the spot.

The other man, a rather pudgy man, bumbled inside. "Come out, Zapdos. You're coming with us!" He yelled into the room. A moment of silence passed before a shriek came from the room and the two goofs ran out, Zapdos hot on their trails.

The thinner man had tears rolling down his cheeks. "We forget the pokeballs!" He screamed, outpacing the pudgy man.

He puffed as he tried his best to run. "Wait for me, brother!" he wheezed, losing his breath quite easily. They ducked their heads as another bolt of lightning shot past them. Pichu giggled at the buffoons, but cut short when another voice sounded.

"You two good for nothings," It sounded. A man walked out where the two were running. He rolled his eyes as the two ran out of the building. "Useless."

He released a Zangoose, which stood confidently in front of the legendary. Dodging a Thunder, he readied his claws, they glowed bright blue and slashed the bird, causing it to shriek in pain.

The man chuckled. "Zangoose, one more Crush Claw." Zangoose charged his claws up again, and with a malicious grin, brought them down on the bird. Zapdos gave another shriek, and slumped down, in obvious pain. Pichu gasped as he saw the Power Plants leader in agony. He glared at the perpetrators, and knew something had to be done.

The man took out a yellowish ball and held it to the bird's head. "Hmph, almost too eas-" He cut off into a yell as he was hit in the back of the head by a little yellow bundle of fur. He dropped the ball, and in the moment of distraction, Zapdos electrocuted Zangoose, frying him to a crisp. He flew off into his room, needing reinforcements after his injury. The man sat up rubbing the back of his head. Sitting in his lap was an orange Pichu, knocked out from the impact.

He shook his head. "Little guy did not think that through" He said nastily. He noticed something off about the Pichu. "Hmmm...a shiny? Heh, not a bad find." He said to himself. He returned his Zangoose, and threw Pichu in one of the huge bags the other two brought. He turned his head as he heard footsteps and stepped back anxiously as Zapdos now stood with a few Electabuzz and Magneton.

He raised his hands up in a surrender motion. "I give, you win." He mumbled. Zangoose was his only pokemon capable of taking Zapdos. Granted the legendary was injured, but with it's backup, the bandit found himself in a bit of a pickle. Zapdos eyed the man as he got up and walked out, not turning his back to them, and not putting his hands down from the surrender position. Zapdos huffed as he hunched down.

One of the Electabuzz tried to help. "Are you okay?" He asked, concerned for his leader.

Zapdos nodded. "Yeah...my wings badly damaged. I won't be using it for a bit. Where's that Pichu though? He saved me." The others looked around and to no avail could find the little guy anywhere.

One of the Magneton turned to his leader. "You don't think he was taken, do you?" He asked, worried.

Zapdos's eyes widened, and he turned to one of the Electabuzz. "Check." He ordered.

Running outside, Electabuzz found a helicopter landed by the waterside. He got close and saw them place the tiny pokemon inside a cage obviously built for Zapdos. He readied a Thunderpunch to break down the machine, but a surprise Rock Throw from the helicopter made him skid backwards in a daze. When he snapped out of it, the helicopter was well in the air, and he was forced to watch in helplessness as it took off, nothing he could do.

He limped back inside, tears welling up at the lost. Zapdos saw him,and took on a crestfallen look when he noticed Electabuzz's expression.

Electabuzz punched the wall in anger. "I'm sorry, I wasn't strong enough." He cried out, startling the pokemon as they came out from hiding.

Zapdos sighed. "No, it's my fault. I didn't dodge that hit from the pokemon cause I thought no mortal pokemon could damage me severely, but that Pichu payed for my arrogance, and I will never forgive myself." He looked at his busted wing, then gritted his beak. "But I swear when I'm healed, I will track down those poachers and show them no mercy." He said in a voice that scared his friends.

Magneton spoke up. "We shall trail the helicopter, and get you when we find it's destination." It said, and at Zapdos's nod, they left.

Zapdos turned to the Electabuzz. "Do not blame yourself. When the Pichu's parents come back, inform them of what happened." Electabuzz nodded weakly, and Zapdos limped back to his room. I don't care the cost, I will track down those monsters and make sure they regret ever being born…

Dust kicked up as the helicopter landed on the bridge. The three men stepped out, the Pichu cage on the back of the pudgy man. The man with the Zangoose was talking on the phone. Meanwhile Pichu was starting to stir awake.

He squeaked in terror as he realized he had no idea where he was, only that he was surrounded by bars and near a sandy area with a humongous lake. People were on the sand, either playing or relaxing. Either way, Pichu was scared out of his wits.

He perked his ears as the man put away a weird small device. "The boss will be here in 5 minutes, so make sure that thing doesn't go anywhere. The two nodded, without looking at Pichu, and gazed off longingly at the beach. Pichu inched nervously, terrified of what was happening. If only there was some way to break free of this cage.

His chance came when the skinny man piped up. "I wonder if Pichu's are cuddly," He said out loud, much to the annoyance of the Zangoose man.

The pudgy man scratched his chin. "And he's just a baby, I bet he's all fluffy and soft….oh, Francisco, may we please cuddle him," he pleaded.

Francisco rolled his eyes. "Fine, just make sure it doesn't wake, that thing escapes and we're dead men." The two let out squeals of enjoyment. Pichu, seeing his chance, played dead as the two idiots turned to him.

The skinny man opened the cage and reached his hand down. "Come here, little guy," He cooed. His soft tone turned to a pained one as Pichu bit down on his thumb and ran out of the cage. The pudgy man tried to catch the mouse, but his clumsy reflexes no match for the small little mouse. Francisco turned his head, and watched in disbelief as the electric mouse scampered away from the two idiots. He twitched his eye and shook in fear as a black jeep pulled up to the bridge.

He thought about making a move, but fear rooted him to the spot. "You idiots," He whispered. The thin man quickly released his pokemon into the cage and grabbed a paint bucket from the helicopter and threw it on the other pudgy man shook as the passenger door opened and out stepped a dark skinned man, with short black hair. He wore a black coat and a pair of jeans. His lazy glare immobilized them as he walked towards them.

"Hola, compadres. Hope I haven't kept you waiting long," He said, a thick brazilian accent in his voice.

"N-no sir, not at all," The pudgy man replied.

He chuckled. "Good...now where is this shiny pokemon? I was disappointed in not having a Zapdos...but I've got a man offering a hundred grand for the shiny so I'll let it slide. As you know, I want my money," He said coldly.

The skinny man spoke up. "Well...don't worry boss, we have it right here." He responded. The other two gave him a weird look until he pulled the cage around with a psyduck in it, covered in still wet orange paint. The man and the Psyduck stared blankly at each other, and the duck gave out a small "Psy".

The man glared up at him. "Is this a joke? Where is the Pichu?" He snapped.

Francisco looked away. "These two idiots lost him." He said in fear.

The man blinked slowly, he walked back to the car, much to the confusion of the three. He came back with a small box and a lighter. He took a look at the darkening sky. He handed the skinny man the box. "Light it when I say to." He ordered.

The lanky man saluted. "Yes sir," He complied.

The man then motioned for Francisco to follow him. "Francisco, mi amigo. Follow." Francisco followed with his head hanged down. The man eyed him. "Look out onto the sea, tell me what happened." He eyed the thin man. "Now."

Francisco jumped as the fireworks started, and people on the beach watched in awe as the went off, dazzling pretty in the sky. Francisco said nothing as he stared at the setting sun.

The man sighed. "Francisco, what am I to do with you? This is the third mission you've failed, even those two morons manage to complete a mission every once in awhile."

Francisco shivered. "Terry, please. It won't happen again. I swear it wasn't my fault this time." He stammered.

Terry laughed. "You're right. It won't happen again. Adios."

Francisco was confused, until he felt the pressure against the back of his head. "Please, don't-" But the fireworks drowned out the shot, and distracted the beach goers as Francisco's body fell in the ocean. The other two watched in horror as Terry walked back with no remorse in his face. He walked back silently to the jeep and they pulled away, leaving the two frightened men. The thin man noticed Francisco's pokeballs with his pokemon float up and he quickly grabbed them before hustling away with the pudgy man into the city.

Meanwhile in the car, Terry stared out the window. A girl his age was driving and kept giving him looks. "You didn't have to kill him you know, he had a daughter. What is she going to do now without a father?" She chided.

Terry rolled his eyes. "Like I care...she was bound to lose him eventually, humans are rather fickle things." He responded. She shot him a worried look. "Humans, pokemon, bonds. They all come and go, nothing lasts forever." He said, a sadistic look in his eye.

She tried changing the subject, always scared when he gets like this. "What are you going to do about the Pichu?" She asked.

Terry shrugged. "Let it go, Sunyshore is a huge place. The odds of finding him here are slim to none. I may not get my money, but there are always more opportunities. Besides, they're plenty of rare pokemon here in the Sinnoh region." He said.

She raised a brow. "You're not even going to send Shade after them?" She asked in surprise.

Terry shook his head. "Nah...that pichus gone for good, Shade would attract too much attention. Besides, what are the odds of ever encountering him again?"

Pichu hid in the streets as he wandered around. He was scared of the people and that he was going to taken again. He had no idea where he was or where to go. Occasionally people would glance at him, but not enough to really pay attention to him. Pichu whimpered as he walked down an alleyway, his fur was a mess, he was starving, and he had quite a bump still on his head. His heart sank as the alleyway came to an abrupt halt.

He jumped as he heard a voice. "Lost, little mouse?" It snarled. Pichu jumped and turned around to see a large black pokemon, with two white horns poking from its head. It had an orange muzzle and its teeth were bared.

He cocked his head, more curious than scared. "What're you?" He asked, astounded by the scary looking pokemon.

The dog blinked at him. "Have you never seen a Houndoom before?" He replied. The Pichu shook his head, frightened. The Houndoom coked his head now, seeing the mouse was lost. "You're still young. Are you one of Volkner's pokemon I wonder?"

Pichu shook his head. "N-no sir. I live in the Power Plant, but some men came and took me away and I ended up here and I'm scared." He whimpered.

The Houndoom gave him a look of pity. "You probably got snagged by some poachers. Probably cause you're colored funny." Pichu looked away in embarrassment. Houndoom chuckled and Pichu jumped as the door to the building opened, and out stepped a very young girl, no more than three, and her dad. Pichu hid in between Houndoom's legs, causing the canine to chuckle. "Heh, don't be scared, it's only my trainer and his pup." He replied, causing the Pichu to poke his head out slowly.

The male looked at Houndoom. "Hey there, Houndini, whats that you got underneath you?" He asked, motioning to the Pichu.

Houndoom nosed the baby pokemon out from underneath him. "Don't be shy," he replied.

The younger girl ran up to the Pichu. "Daddy it's a Pichu! Can I keep it please?" She asked, giving her dad a puppydog face.

He chuckled in response. "Well, I suppose. But only if he wants to come," he told her. Pichu blinked at them. He felt a little suspicious, but there was something about the girl that was warm and caring. He got no ill will intentions off her at all, only ones of kindness and purity. He felt apprehensive about approaching her, but as he inched closer, he found himself coming closer and closer.

The father eyed his poor shape and odd coloring. "Hmmm...not your average Pichu, is it? And the poor thing looks like it's been in a fight." He observed.

The girl gave him a piteous look as she crouched by him. "You poor thing, I promise to take care of you the rest of my life, deal?" She said, holding out her hand. After a couple more steps, Pichu found himself in her arms, soothed by her warm embrace, almost reminded him of his mom and dad.

His mom and dad….how were they going to react when they learned he'd been kidnapped. Would they miss him? He hoped they weren't too sad, and that they have another little Pichu one day.

The father watched as his daughter picked up the Pichu gently in her arms and carried him inside. " Any idea what you're going to name him, Gena?" He asked.

She thought for a moment, then smiled. "I'm going to name him Ryan," She said, giggling.

Her father laughed. "Interesting….why?" He asked, curious.

She shrugged, carrying him inside." Just cause," She replied in a typical way a three year old would.

Ryan didn't care, he was so tired from the days adventure that he felt he could sleep a year. As he dozed off in Gena's arms, he wondered where this new life would take him…..
