Last time,
"GUYS! LOOK! Ash shouted out, and the others also saw what Ash was pointing at. It was a magnificent blue glowing figure, which waited for them a little while and then ran. Ash then sent out Articuno, and then they gave chase to the mighty Pokemon, Suicune.
The story continues………………
"Look! There he is!" shouted Ash, pointing at Suicune and jumping like a boy who found a 'FREE TOYS' board on a shop. Maybe even more excited. Brock and a fuming Latias got off the Articuno. The reason was that there was only enough space for three people and Latias could not un-transform until it was her turn to be challenged by Ash. So Ash, ever the gentleman, had Misty sit on his lap and he tightened his arms around the waist. Actually, this was Brock's idea. Ash suggested that they should go in pairs, on Moltres and Articuno, but Brock said that there were chances that Latias and he himself got left behind and it would just have been inconvenient. And this was the cause of her anger. Wel, on to the story!
As we were talking, Ash had already told his Pikachu to take a stance. Misty, Brock, Latias, Starla and Ash's legendaries were watching the battle. So was Team Rocket. They had a bet on who would win. Jessie had her money on Ash. James and Meowth had their money on Suicune.
"Okay, Suicune! Let the battle begin! Ash shouted, to which Suicune replied in a snarl, to signal that he was ready.
"Pikachu! Start this battle with a Volt Tackle! ordered Ash, as Pikachu charged up and got engulfed in blue electricity. It made a dash towards the Suicune. Surprisingly, it just kept standing there. Pikachu was about to hit when it moved with such speed that Pikachu missed easily. Then Suicune used a powerful Hydro pump on Pikachu's back. He then shot off like a missile towards……Mewtwo! He levitated just in time to dodge Pikachu. Pikachu finally stopped Suicune held his breath and all the others released theirs.
"Okay, Pikachu! Let's play his game! Use Double Team to confuse him!" Ash said, pleased to see the Suicune confused and turning round and round. Just like he was trying to chase a donut which was running round and round.
"Now to make it even with Suicune, Pikachu! Attack him with a Thunder Bolt!" Ash ordered.
Pikachu then charged up with blue electricity around it. With a loud 'PIIKAACHUUUU!' the Thunder Bolt was executed and this left Suicune trying to regain balance after getting his teeth shocked out. He was stumbling around when he got hit by an Iron Tail, which was enough to snap him back to reality. Then he used his own physical attack, an Ice fang, on Pikachu's right leg. The ice slowly spread trying to cover Pikachu's body after some time, Pikachu was engulfed in the eyes, but could not even twitch.
"NO! PIKACHU!" Ash yelled out, his knuckles clenched and becoming white. He looked at Pikachu and looked distraught. Then his head sunk in shame. He finally lost. He got defeated in Johto. This is where it all ended. He had let everyone down. His mom, Misty, Brock, all of them. He even let his Pokemon down. He was a useless weakling. Then suddenly, Ash started shaking. Then, to their surprise, Ash let his first tear drop. He fell on his knees and slammed his fist onto the ground. Then it happened.
Seeing his friends cry was not on top of his 'FAVORITE THINGS' list. Seeing Ash's soul crumple like this Pikachu became mad. He growled and his whole body became electric blue. Then he screamed 'KAAACHUUU!! "and the ice completely broke off and all surprisingly flew towards Suicune. It ploughed the Pokemon down and it fell. It struggle to get up but Ash, who was still shocked, ordered Pikachu for a Thunder attack and then it screamed out, 'KAA CHU PIKA PIKAPI PIKA! KA CHU IKA APICHU!PI PII KAA? KA CHU IKA APICHU!' which only Ash and Meowth could understand. A stray tear rolld down Ash's eye and then the executed attack not only damaged but paralyzed the opponent.
Meanwhile with the Auras,
Meowth was sniffling and the others looked at him quizzically. Then after a while, Jessie asked Meowth why he was crying, Meowth said,
"Pikachu told da Suicune dat, 'No one breaks Ash's dream, ya rabid dog! Not even da Legendaries! Ya hear me? Not even da legendaries!" after which Meowth started bawling his eyes out.
"That's so sweet!" Jessie exclaimed, after which she started crying. James was no better.
"Pikachu's so loyal!"James cried out. After that, the Aura trio set up camp.
Suicune lay on the ground, it's flesh charred and then Pikachu told Ash to snap out of it and catch the Pokemon. Ash took out a Pokeball and threw it on the Pokemon. Ash expected this one to flunk the test, but to his surprise, the Pokemon was caught in the first Pokeball! It didn't even put on a struggle! Then Ash hugged Pikachu, who personally brought the Pokeball to Ash. They both embraced warmly. The others watched the scene happily. They were not surprised, though, why the capture happened so suddenly. They already knew. It was Ash's care which made Pikachu snap which executed so many feelings which temporarily shorted the Pokemon's will. Then they all got up, Pikachu and Starla getting off their master's shoulders and walking side by side.
"Ash, what did Pikachu actually say, anyways? Misty asked. Ash gave an answer which did not satisfy her,
"It's for me to know, and you to find out!" Ash joked, to which Misty gave him a whack on his head. The rest of the trip was uneventful. When the camp was set up, they lit a campfire and sang songs and exchanged ghost stories. Soon, they all went to sleep and awaited the next morning.
