A/N: Since I got peeps likin' the first part, I thought I'd attempt to endear myself to the rest of y'all. I mean, Alex Warlorn, the king of critics, liked it; I must be doing something right.
But, to move along, if you missed the A/N's of last chapter,this is basically my response to all those people who say Ash would never evolve Pikachu. He would, watch and see.

Ash could only stand by, helpless, as the Houndoom charged forward, dirt flying up behind it, in an incredibly powerful charging Fire Blast. Raul cheered the Houndoom on, as Misty kept her face buried in Ash's jacket, whilst Brock began sweating bullets.
Thump. Thump. Thump. Ash's heart hammered out the rhythm, pounding through his veins, in his temples.
Time seemed to move slower than usual, as the Houndoom galloped towards Pikachu. It's eyes glowed red as it brought its head down and inhaled deeply, step one of Fire Blast. Pikachu growled as sparks began to fly from it's cheeks.
Thump. Thump. Thump.
The Houndoom brought its head up, up and back, as it leapt up into the air. Pikachu closed it's eyes tightly, shaking, as an almost imperceptable golden aura began to flicker up around it.
Thump. Thump. Thump.
Just as the Houndoom reached the zenith of its leap, it snapped it's head down with a bonechilling howl, as fire spilled out of its mouth, forming itself into a star shape, hurtling towards pikachu.
Hound-DOOOOoooooOOOOOooooOOOOMM!!!
"Pi...kaaa...." Pikachu groaned in effort. You see, he could feel the strange golden aura surrounding him, flickering in and out of existence. His conscious mind couldn't figure out what it meant, but his subconsious mind was urging him to keep it up, keep it up as best he could.
"PIKACHU!" Ash cried, as the flames closed the distance between the Houndoom and Pikachu.
"PIKACHUUUUUU!" Pikachu cried, as the gold aura around it flickered.
Off...
On...
Off...
On...
Off..
On...
On...
ON!
A sudden starburst of gold light flashed from the pikachu, blinding the Houndoom as it landed, causing it to stumble. The humans all swept their arms over their eyes to avoid being blinded.
Then, almost as soon as it began, the flash faded away, leaving the humans and hounds blinking wildly, trying to regain their vision as soon as possible.
Ash and the Houndoom were the first to recover their sight, and both gasped with what they saw. (well, technically, the Houndoom barked in surprise, but whaddaya gonna do?) Brock and Raul followed a few seconds later, Raul yelling in shock and Brock looking both pleased and slightly awed.
"No WAY!" yelled Raul staring at Pikachu in open mouthed shock. "NO MUTHERFUCKING WAY!" Pikachu's golden aura had faded, but his aura of strength had not.
Because it was not burned.
No smoke, no stench, no blackened fur, no hiss of steam, no blood.
Fire Blast had- somehow, someway- not harmed Pikachu as it swept over the rodent. Somehow, someway, it had been blocked.
"THUNDER!" screamed Ash. Now was not the time for weeping, for congratulations, for hallelujahs. Now was the time to win!
"PIIIIKA...CHU!"
Electricity danced through the air, sweeping along the polarized particles of water in the air, sweeping along and vaporizing them, as the plasma arcs gracefully, beautifully, split the air and damned the Houndoom.

A/N: And....there goes another chapter! Hee hee hee, I love torturing you all with shorties! And cliffies! Well, I suppose I shall leave you now, since I don't have a good Fic of the Day. Now, buhbye, and remember: "It takes a *special* kind of idiot to drop Roget's Thesaurus on his balls" -me
