Pikachu was lucky that he was in viridian city. The walk to pallet town was not too long. He had to get to oak's lab quickly, so he could get help from Ash's other Pokemon. Looking around, he saw some Pecha berries on a tree.

Getting a running start, he leapt at the tree and started climbing up. He got to a branch with some berries and started eating them. They tasted good, but pikachu had to get going if he was going to save Ash.

He scrambled down the tree and continued running towards Pallet.

Misty got up slowly. She wanted to be the first person to see pikachu. She got on her bike and pedaled over to the Pokemon center.

She walked in and made her way to pikachu's room as quickly as she could. She opened the door, ready to greet the Pokemon. The bed was empty, and the window was open.

"Nurse Joy!" She shouted fearfully. "It's pikachu! He's gone!" She ran over to the bed and looked everywhere.

Pikachu finally made it to Pallet, his nose twitching as he smelled the familiar scent of his home. He immediately picked out the lab and walked towards it. Soon enough, he had arrived.

He snuck through the lab carefully and made it to the fields of Pokemon. Immediately, he noticed the downcast faces of all of Ash's Pokemon. Bulbasaur was laying next to Pidgeotto. He decided to approach the two Pokemon.

"Pika! Pikachu!" Pikachu shouted as he ran towards the Pokemon. Bulbasaur got up. "Saur?" He said confusedly. Pidgiotto joyfully flew over to Pikachu, while Bulbasaur went to alert the rest of the Pokemon.

Squirtle took off his sunglasses. "Squirtle!" He shouted, running over to Pikachu. The herd of Tauros all gathered around the pikachu. "Taur!" They all said, trying to all talk to Pikachu.

Pikachu sighed. It was going to be difficult explaining the situation to all of the Pokemon.

Misty got on her bike. She knew that Pikachu was probably headed to Pallet town; that was where he could get support from the other Pokemon. She quickly sped out of Viridian city and went towards Pallet.

Pikachu finished explaining, and the crowd of Pokemon fell silent. "Pika! Chu!" He said, asking for 5 of them to help him find Ash. To his dismay, only four stepped forward: Bulbasaur, Squirtle, Muk and Pidgeotto.

All of the Pokemon looked up as a roar sounded from the sky. A dragon flew out of a cloud, breathing fire. "Char!" Charizard roared. He landed in front of Pikachu. Pikachu smiled at him, knowing that charizard would be a great addition to the team.

~a few hours later~

Misty arrived in Pallet town. Her legs were tired of pedaling and she was very thirsty. She leaned her bike next to Oak's lab and went to the field of Pokemon. The field seemed to be empty of some of Ash's strongest Pokemon, and she sighed. Pikachu had already gathered up his friends and left.

The Pokemon sighed, settling down to take a nap. The cold metal floor wasn't very comfortable, and it made its back hurt. 'Oh well', it thought. 'I'll be out of here soon.' It glanced over at the loud machines that inhabited his temporary home.

It heard a child scream in another room.
