Chapter 1

Pikachu-colored-Pichu: *shyly* Hi! I'm a Pokémon.

Spiky eared Pichu: Duh you are. I'm pretty sure the readers didn't fail to notice that.

Pikachu-colored-Pichu: Well, you never know. Anyway, this story is about us. We take turns with chapters, so one's from my point of view, then one's from Spiky eared Pichu's point of view, etc.

Spiky eared Pichu: This first bit's by PCP.

Pikachu-colored-Pichu: *crossly*Don't call me PCP.

It was a regular day in Ilex forest- the sun was shining, the trees were green, and me and Spiky Ear were hanging out by the old wooden shrine. We were lying back on the grass near it, staring at the clouds. I pointed at one.

"Look, Spiky! That cloud looks like an Azurill!"

Spiky glanced at it and smirked. "Looks more like an Azurill's butt to me."

"Does not!"

"Oh…whatever." Spiky said. A regular day.

We lay back a few more minutes until Spiky sat up and asked me with a naughty grin; "Have you ever wondered what's in the old shrine, PCP?"

I thought carefully before I replied."Firstly, don't call me PCP. It makes me sound like a robot or something. Second, what if we get in trouble for opening it?"

Spiky just waved off the idea of trouble dismissively. "Trouble? Pfft, who cares about getting in trouble? Trouble is my middle name!"

"That I can believe."; I muttered under my breath. It's true. Spiky's the naughtiest Pokémon I've ever met.

"Well, how about this?" Spiky said. "I'll go inside and check first. Then I'll tell you if the coast is clear. OK?" I nodded in response. Long years of dealing with Spiky's crazy plans had taught me to accept them. Spiky scampered up to the shrine and gently opened the doors. Crea-ak… They creaked open a few inches. Spiky turned and flashed me a smile. "I'll check now, PCP. You OK?"

"Yup." I replied nervously."Take care."

"'Course I will." replied Spiky. And then, ever so gently, Spiky as stepped inside, the doors slammed eerily shut behind her.

I gasped in fright, ran up to the shrine, scampered up, and banged my fists against the doors. When they didn't budge, I called out; "Spiky? Spiky, you there?"

To my relief, she replied. "Yeah, I'm OK…a bit dim in here though…" I pressed my ear against the door to hear her better.

"It's kinda dusty too…wait…there's something against the wall there…" I heard her footsteps move a few steps towards the back wall. "It's like a statue or something…of a Pokémon… it's pretty small too, and it's green…" Suddenly, I heard her yelp in surprise and jump back. "It's not a statue! It's real! It just opened its eyes…they're big and blue…wait…"I heard her hesitate. "It's smiling now…and now it's moving its arms in a weird way... wait - what's that light?" Her last three words sounded frightened. Then, out of nowhere, bright green light, so bright that I had to squint through it, filtered through cracks in the shrine and around then door. When it faded the shrine was quiet.

I snapped out of my shock and pressed against the doors. "Spiky? Spiky, what was that? You OK? Spiky?" I couldn't hear her in there. Panic rose up and I banged my fists desperately against the doors."Spiky, where are you? Are you OK? Spiky? SPIKY?!" There was no response. The doors did not move, and the shrine was silent.

Pikachu pichu: Ooh, what happens next?

Spiky eared Pichu: Who knows? Anyway, I'm narrating the next chapter.

Pikachu pichu: When you do, please put me in the bold bit.

Spiky eared pichu: Duh I will. I can't do the bold bit with only me.
