Pallet Town, Kanto Region - Professor Oaks Laboratory: David's POV - A few moments ago (Taken from last chapter)
We are cut off from out conversion by Professor Oak who has arrived with a regular Pokéball as he hands me it saying to me, "Well it took some time but I believe I have found the perfect Pokémon for you to have; go on and say hello to your new partner in training."
I nod as I feel so fired up at the chance to have my own Starter as I throw the ball up into the air saying aloud with excitement.
"Come on out!"
The Pokéball opens up with a click and a flash of bright energy as I catch the ball and wait eagerly as the energy turns sold and lands on the floor as it soon takes shape and becomes...
Pallet Town, Kanto Region - Professor Oaks Laboratory: David's POV - Now
...an Eevee.
I stare in awe as in my mind I am going batshit crazy with joy and excitement at getting one of my most favoured Pokémon as my starter as I quickly think to myself with delirious wonderment at my lucky break.
"I just cannot believe I am getting such a Pokémon as my starter, it looks like it's following the way that the old Pokémon Yellow game went with one person getting a Pikachu like Ash and the other trainer which could have been Gary getting a Eevee as that might explain it; I wonder if Gary did get an Eevee as that was a theory of many people who watched the Anime and saw it later on in the series but there was the other theory of him getting the Squirtle that was picked as a starter by some other trainer."
I snap out of my thoughts for now as the Pokémon speaks aloud.
"Eevee!"
To my ears and mind the small Pokémon merely said, "Hi!"
I crouch down slowly to not startle the small Pokémon as I keep my eyes on the Evolution Pokémon, gently reach out and place my hand on the tuft of Eevee's head.
I softly scratch the head which Eevee appears to enjoy as it closes its eyes in a calm and happy manner as it purrs out slowly, "Eve evee."
All I heard from the Eevee was, "Oh I like that."
I smirk as I say to the brown haired Pokémon, "I think you'll like this even more."
The Eevee's eyes widen and then blink a few times in shock at myself talking to him in his own language but seems to accept it easer than Pikachu did, he watches me now in curiosity at me as I take my hand away gently and move it to just the edge of its furry ears and then begin to gently scratch with my fingers.
The effect is immediate as the Eevee becomes almost a puddle of jelly with legs as it sinks down and begins to loudly purr with much content at my ministrations of the Pokémon and it's ears.
I continue to smirk as I remember this trick from petting and grooming my Gran's cat like Pokémon as Gem loved having her ears scratched just the right way while Willow loved getting its head scratched much like my Grandad's dog like Pokémon, Hamish.
I stop my scratching and stand up, to the small protests of the Eevee as it slowly gets up and looks at me with an expression that clearly said, 'Why did you stop?'
I keep my smirk as I say to the Pokémon, "While it is nice petting you and seeing you enjoy it; I think we should be getting a move on since you are now my Pokémon and Starter."
This makes the Eevee jump up in a ready to walk position as it says to me of which I translate to Eevee saying, "Then let's go; Partner".
I nod but we are interrupted from our bonding session by Oak and Ash both saying aloud, "Oh my!" "Wow!"
Professor Oak continues speaking saying to myself, with Eevee watching this all with a wary expression that I spy with a quick look from my eyes as they flick over to the Pokémon and then back to the Professor as he speaks to me.
"That was a wonderful example of bonding with a Pokémon, simply wonderful; I can see that you two are going to get along swimingly."
Ash soon follows as he says to me in wonder but also curiosity as he asks me, "Cool; what kind of Pokémon is that David?"
I say to Ash as I point to Eevee, "That Ash; is an Eevee and it is a very unique Pokémon."
Ash looks confused as he asks me, "Unique?"
I nod and further explain, "You see Eevee has the power to be capable of evolving into 8 different types of Pokémon; from what is known so far as there could be more but at the moment Eevee is currently documented to evolve into 8 types of Pokémon."
Ash's expression is priceless as it is an expression of utter bewilderment and extreme awe at such a special Pokémon existing.
I look at Eevee who seems to be very smug and proud at my words as it's stance is that of haughty animal or pet at an pedigree awards show.
I smirk as I speak further to Ash about what I know of a Eevee which is quite a lot.
"Eevee can turn into a Fire Type known as Flareon, a Water Type known as Vaporeon and an Electric Type known as Jolteon; those are the first three documented forms of Eevee of which is why you will find their forms in Kanto a lot since all three forms are easier to accomplish rather than the other 5 evolved forms of Eevee."
Ash has a further confused expression as he asks me, "Why is that?"
I smile and speak again saying to him, "It's because all three forms evolve from a Evolution Stone."
Ash is still confused as he asks me, "What's an Evolution Stone?"
I look at him in a bit of surprise and slight confusion, "How do you not know what an Evolution Stone is?"
Ash still looks lost as he simply says in reply, "Huh?"
I shake my head and speak again in question and as I try and explain to the somewhat dense boy that is Ash Ketchum.
"Evolution Stone's are special items that have a very unique property and energy connected to Pokémon since they help many different Pokémon evolve depending on the type of stone used and the correct Pokémon."
"You may remember me mentioning one such item when I told you about Pikachu's evolved form as a Thunder Stone is what is needed to help Pokémon like Pikachu or my Eevee evolve into their next forms."
Ash has a look of comprehension at my explanation as he comments by simply saying, "Oh."
I quickly look and spy Professor Oak who appears to have moved off to the side of his lab as he gives us space during our conversation but I can just see the impressed and approval at my apparent knowledge and how I am helping Ash learn more about Pokémon.
I look down at the Pokémon now at our feet as it seems that Eevee is getting acquainted with Pikachu as they converse and play together.
I politely block out their conversation as I return to my own with Ash as I talk about Evolution Stones with him.
"You can get Evolution stones in many places; but the more common and easier to acquire stones like a Thunder Stone and the others which are called a Water Stone, a Fire Stone and a Leaf Stone can be bought in Celadon City at it's large Department Store."
I smile at Ash's expression of wonder at my explanation.
I interrupt his awe by speaking again as I hand his Poké Ball's and Pokédex back to him as I had been holding it long enough for it to be safe for Ash to handle the items.
"You know how to use a Pokédex don't you?"
I ask this as I want to point out a feature that is usable from Pokédex's rather than simply pointing at a random Pokémon and it just giving out a small amount of information about the species in general depending on the Pokémon being scanned by the device.
I take Ash's slight reddening of his cheeks as a negative to which I sigh and explain to him about the Pokédex and its many features.
"A Pokédex is more than just gadget that gives a small amount of info about Pokémon; it's able to tell you the full details of a Pokémon that you have captured like if it is male or female, what its moves are and even its height and weight along with its ability."
Ash blink's as he asks me in confusion, "Ability?"
I give out a sigh as I look at Ash with exasperation at how much this boy does not know as I knew he was a bit dim and slow on the uptake when he first started out but surely he is not this bad.
I explain to the confused yet embarrassed Pokémon Trainer about abilties.
"Pokémon each have a particular power that can be accessed in battle or when in a certain area that has the right conditions like if it is sunny, raining or even snowing; this is known as an Ability."
"Some are rare for a Pokémon to have and others are more common as two Pokémon of the same typing and species can have completely different ability's."
Ash has a that look of childish wonder on his face again as I speak to him about abilities.
The boy asks me, "What kind of Pokémon are like that?'
I smile and say to Ash, "Why don't you use your Pokédex and find out."
Ash appears to be now brimming with energy and excitement as he open's his Pokédex and points it at Pikachu.
The yellow mouse like Pokémon is looking at us in confusion as he stops his playtime with Eevee and stands up from his four legged position and becomes upright in position.
The Pokédex soon gives out a electronic sounding voice as it says aloud its introduction and information about Pikachu.
"Hello, I am Dexter; Your Personal Pokémon Database Index or more commonly known and named as a Pokédex."
"This Pokédex is registered to Ash Ketchum of Pallet Town, Kanto."
"If I am lost or discarded I cannot be replaced."
"Current amount of Captured Pokémon: 1 in total."
"Information Documented on Captured Pokémon and its species:"
"Pikachu, the Mouse Pokémon, and the evolved form of Pichu. Pikachu can help other Pikachu who are feeling weak by sharing its electric current."
I watch as Ash looks confused as he turns his face to me and asks, "Now what do I do?"
I point to the Pokédex and say to him, "Press the button with the plus symbol (+) on it while it has the information about Pikachu up on the screen."
I watch as Ash does so and then the two of us are treated to Dexter's voice sounding out from the device yet again as it gives out a set of different information.
"This Pikachu is Male (as indicated by the shape of its tail end)."
"This Pikachu has The Ability known as Static, Which causes an increased chance of paralysing their opponent if come into physical contact with the Pokémon."
"Current Nature: Quite Stubborn"
"Its Current Move List is:"
"Thunder Shock."
"Thunderbolt."
"Agility."
"Quick Attack."
"Its Egg Move has yet to be unlocked which is Volt Tackle.
"Its current Height is 1 Foot, 4 inches and its Weight is 6kg.
"Its current Level is unknown due to the fluctuating power of this Pokémon making it impossible to be measured properly by this Pokédex."
I look at the device in confusion as I say aloud, "Now that's odd."
Ash looks at me as he asks, "What's odd, what are Levels and Egg Moves also?"
I look at Ash and try and explain to him one of the parts of Pokémon that I know was largely ignored or forgotten in the Pokémon Anime.
"Levels are or at least were the way that Pokémon Trainers measured how strong their Pokémon were since it started from when a Pokémon hatches from its Egg which then means it is a Level 1 Pokémon."
"The strongest of Pokèmon were measured at Level 100 and no higher but Level measurement has lately been unneeded since Pokémon nowadays can have the potential to reach near limitless power and strength if trained right and hard enough."
"Egg moves are just certain attacks that many Pokémon can achieve when they are powerful enough to handle them since they are just moves that are carried on from the parents who conceived, birthed and then raised the Pokémon if they are wild or bred from a certain Pokémon by a Pokémon Breeder when they are born from an egg at a Ranch or Preserve."
"Many of the Starters given out to Trainers all over the world have access to a Egg Move but many are unable to use them since most trainers are just beginners and have not much information on Pokémon themselves unless they actually study and know all about the Pokémon they have or are using in a battle or some other activity."
"There are the few Starters who already can use their Egg Move but that is only if they have trained on their own or are more physically powerful and superior than the rest of their kind which is rare."
"Now what is odd is that this Pikachu should be, going by the old measurement used for Levels of Pokémon, at least a Level 5 Pokémon since it is your starter but from what I can gather from the Pokédex's information it appears that your Pikachu has a irregularity in its body that makes Level identification impossible for the Pokédex to predict or measure."
I turn my attention to the now much more alert Professor Oak who is now looking hard at the now confused and nervous Pikachu as he is being examined by all three of us with our eyes.
Eevee has now made its way over to me and is now sitting near my feet as he appears to look at Pikachu in worry.
I listen as Professor Oak speaks to us, "That's one of the reasons why I wanted to study this Pokémon in particular since my other machines could not gauge its level properly or its actual strength since one machine said it was fairly weak and another said it was extremely powerful for a Pikachu of its kind."
I nod as it appears that I now have an answer for one of the most frustrating things that plagued this Pikachu in particular when it battled in certain circumstances or places in the Anime.
Pikachu had an affliction or illness that rendered its power to randomly change from weak to strong but only a short amount of time or for a certain length of days like a fortnight a month or even a full year if possible.
I ask the Professor, "Can you do something to help Pikachu with its problem?"
The Professor shook its head and said with a grim expression, "Sadly not at this time since I have not had this Pikachu for long, therefore I cannot make a better method of treatment unless I keep it here at the Lab."
I look at Ash as he gets a depressed look on his face as he now seems to realise he may not get a chance to keep or even use Pikachu as his starter or battler for Pokémon fights.
I offer an alternative, "What about if Ash makes sure to have every Nurse Joy at all the Pokémon Centers in Kanto we visit give a detailed written report about Pikachu when Pikachu is being treated and cared for at the Center's as I am sure that the Nurse Joy's are qualified to give enough information on the status and general health of Pikachu."
Professor Oak begins to have a much more relieved and happier look at my idea as I continue to speak to him.
"As I bet with enough reports and information given to you by Ash when he comes back home in the future then you can work out a method of treatment and regime of tests to find a way to help Pikachu's condition."
Ash now has a much more delighted look on his face as it seems Pikachu is matching his new Trainer as well since throughout my own and Professor Oak's conversation Pikachu was getting more and more sad and scared at what was wrong with him.
Professor Oak speaks to me saying, "That's a remarkable and very clever idea David, I believe that will work out well for Pikachu and I believe Ash as well."
Ash looks at me with a very grateful look on his face as he says to me with said feeling, "Thank you David for helping me and Pikachu."
I force myself to not correct his grammar and just smile then nod in return for the gratitude.
I then speak saying to the Professor, "So can I also get my own Pokédex and maybe my other Poke Balls too?"
The Professor jumps up a bit and has an embarrassed expression on his face as he sheepishly says to me, "Oops."
I shake my head as the professor soon leaves the room to possibly get my stuff as I watch Ash approach Pikachu and bend down slowly to speak to the Pokémon as I listen to them.
"It's alright Pikachu, I promise to help you no matter what since you are now my Pokémon and my responsibility so we can work together to solve this problem; I will not give up on you."
Pikachu appears to be stunned at Ash's declaration and promise while I am quite surprised at how different both Trainer and Pokémon have bonded.
I can see the advantage and disadvantage of this but I ignore it for now as I wait for Pikachu's answer.
It is only a few moments later that Pikachu seems to have made up his mind about Ash and his words towards him.
He soon begins speaking to Ash in his own Poké-Speech of which I soon translate to Ash as he looks at me for clarification after Pikachu has finished speaking.
I explain what Pikachu is saying to Ash as I say to the boy, "He says he is willing to trust you for now but he has a few requests."
Ash nods as he pays attention to me as he listens further to my words.
"First is that you are to never place Pikachu inside a Poké Ball unless it is only in the most dire of circumstances like him not being unable to be picked up after a serious injury or if you have to save him from a very dangerous situation."
"Second is that you must treat Pikachu with respect along with respecting his wishes like if he refuses to battle certain people or Pokémon along with his choices towards him evolving if he wants to."
"Third and lastly is that you must never show any sort of abusive or cruel intentions towards Pikachu, you can be stern to a point but not be too strict with him; he also wishes to travel outside his Poké Ball and either walk alongside you or on your shoulder if he lets you."
"Are those requests suitable for you to follow?"
Ash was silent for a few moments her before he answered myself and Pikachu.
"Yeah, I can do that also I would never do such things to a Pokémon; I love Pokémon too much to want to cause them pain or harm intentionally."
I inwardly sigh in relief at things going so smoothly so far while Pikachu appears happy with Ash and his stance on how to treat Pokémon and respecting their wishes.
I watch in silence as Pikachu makes his way over to Ash and stands next to him.
We are interrupted from out peaceful and somewhat joyful moment by Professor Oak who appears to have been waiting for our development to finish.
The aging man then makes his way over to me as he soon hands me my own Poke Balls and Pokédex, but mine appears to be blue instead of Red for some reason.
I look at the Professor in confusion over the colour change to my very own Pokédex of which the older man answers me soon after he hands me my items.
"I thought it would be better to help tell a part which Pokédex belongs to either of you."
I nod as it does make sense if we ever get our Pokédex's mixed up for whatever reason that happens.
I give my gratitude as I say to the older man, "Thank you very much sir."
Oak waves his hand from side to side as he says to me, "Its no problem my boy; glad to be of assistance to a new trainer."
I nod and soon after myself, Ash and the Professor are heading out the front door with Eevee and Pikachu in tow as they follow their new trainers and partners outside.
Pallet Town, Kanto Region - Outside: David's POV - Same Time
I nearly jump out of my skin as a large crowd roars in celebration in front of the gates of Professor Oak's Lab and Ranch.
I spy a number of the townsfolk including Ash's mother but I am most surprised at another person appearing to be near her.
"Granda?", I exclaim in surprise at my grandfather being in the crowd.
"Hey Son," My Grandfather said to me as he gave a wide smile and happy expression as he saw me with my Eevee.
I smile at the familiar words of my Grandfather as he always called me things like son, Davey boy and other words of endearment said as nicknames.
I walk up to him as I ask him, "What are you doing here?"
He answered back with an amused expression as he said, "Waiting for you of course plus someone wanted to say goodbye before you left for your journey."
I am confused over who he is talking about until my grandfather gives out a sharp whistle after which I soon hear the excited barks and yaps of a certain Pokémon that I recognise.
I have one thought going through my head as a blue and yellow blur rushes forward and leaps in the air over the surprised crowd and aims for me.
"Oh Shit."
"Manectric/David!"
'CRASH!'
I am soon bowled over by an excited electic dog like Pokemon as I am now rubbed, nuzzled and licked to death by a energetic Manectric known to my family as Hamish.
This Pokémon has always loved giving and receiving attention but it seemed to love giving his attention and affections to me the most out of most others in the family bedsides my grandparents.
I struggle to get a word in as I try and fail to not laugh as the tingling electic tongue of Hamish tickes my skin and makes my hair stand on end since my hat has also been knocked off.
I can also hear the laughs of both Pikachu and Eevee as they hold each other to be able to stand up watching the hilarious scene in front of them, I can just see them do this between the times that Hamish is not restricting my view.
I finally push the large dog off me as I slowly stand, swaying a bit from the collision and electrical energy running through me as it makes me twitch a bit until my body soon calms down.
I look at the excitable Pokémon as it makes its way back to my grandfather who also has a look of intense humour and amusement running through his face as I can remember the first time I was bowled over by Hamish like that which made my Grandfather nearly die of laughter of which it sometimes did in some situations but it appears he is holding it in until we are in private.
I am interrupted in my reminiscing by the voice of Ash as he says aloud in question while he points at Hamish, "Wow; who and what is that Pokémon?"
I turn to Ash as I smooth out my hair or at least try as the static energy of Hamish has made it difficult to handle.
I say to Ash, "That Ash is a Manectric and it is my Grandad's."
He looks at the dog like Pokémon and then my grandfather as he asks aloud, "Where can I catch one of those?"
I see my grandfather nod towards me as he gives me permission to explain to Ash about Manectric as a species.
"Not in Kanto I'm afraid, they are a Hoenn native Pokémon and are Electric types but you would have to evolve one from its pre-evolved form Electrike."
Ash is at first disappointed but then gets a excited gleam in his eyes as he says, "Then I wanna battle that Pokémon."
I am quite surprised at first by Ash wanting to battle Hamish but I look at my Grandfather in question if he would accept a battle from Ash.
He appears to think on it for a moment until he gives a nod and soon speaks to Ash, "I think I can spare a few moments for a battle; what about you Hamish?"
My grandfather speaks towards Hamish as he asks his Pokémon if he wants to battle the boy.
Hamish appears to be thinking before he gives out a yip of agreement of which I translate in my mind.
"Manec/Sure"
We soon all make our way towards a open plain of grass a little bit away from Professor Oaks land with the crowd of people including Ash's mother and the Professor himself.
Ash is now standing on one end of the now decided battlefield as he faces my Grandfather who appears calm yet determined as both Pokémon, Pikachu and Hamish the Manectric face off each other with Pikachu giving a small growl with his teeth showing as he appears ready to battle.
Hamish now appears to be giving a calm and steady appearance, so unlike the excitable Pokémon from before, as he appears to size up his opponent.
I feel an excitement build within me at the chance to see a real live Pokémon Battle in my own perspective rather than just vague memories given to me by Isis.
I listen and watch as Professor Oak speaks out and stands in the middle of the field but gives enough distance to not be in the line of fire of any stray Pokémon Attacks.
The older man acts as referee as he speaks the rules and makes introductions.
"This Pokémon battle will be set between both opponents and their Pokémon; both combatants will battle until one is either knocked out, admits surrender or forfeits this battle."
"Trainers may only use one Pokémon in this battle and no other, I will act as referee and judge when this battle has ended."
"On one side we have the challenged opponent in this Pokémon Battle, Michael Grimmond and his Pokémon; Hamish the Manectric."
"On the other side we have the challenger, Ash Ketchum and his Pokémon; Pikachu."
"Both opponents set and ready to go?"
Oak is given a nod from My grandfather and an enthusiastic shout of 'Yeah' from Ash.
"Battle, begin!"
I watch as Ash tenses up in preparation for a hopefully good battle.
The boy calls out to the small mouse like Pokémon, "Come on Pikachu lets win this battle."
Pikachu, who has mostly been sitting down near Ash and watching everything going on, reluctantly gets ready to battle until he gets a call out from myself and Eevee.
"Come on Pikachu, do your best."
"Eevee eve eevee/Yeah show that old dog whose the best."
This seems to give Pikachu the encouragement needed to give this battle his best shot.
Pikachu now makes a stance in showing he is ready to battle for Ash and the audience who give out a cheer for Ash and Pikachu along some others who knew my Grandfather and his own Pokémon.
My grandfather then gives out a few simple commands to his Pokémon who makes a stance as if he is about to pounce and rush forward.
"Go easy on the boy's Pikachu old friend, but make it a good battle."
He gets a few barks and growls back from the Manectric who lets out a few jolts of electric energy as it begins to build up.
Ash starts the battle for real this time as he calls out to his Pokémon, "Pikachu use Quick Attack!"
"Pika," Pikachu calls out in affirmation as he begins to run forward along with great speed as he charges headlong in the direction of Hamish.
My Grandfather then calls out to his Pokémon, "Hamish; dodge that attack."
Hamish does so with ease as he leaps to the side and then makes his own attack as he charges towards the now halted Pikachu, as he used his paws to stop his movement causing a bit of dirt to kick up as he skidded on the ground.
My Grandfather calls out the attack as he watches the battle proceed.
"Wild Charge."
Ash looks confused at the attack name but it is soon clear as he watches the Manectric rush forward with electricity covering and pulsating around the dog like Pokémon as he soon hits the Pikachu with even greater speed than Ash seems to have expected.
Pikachu is sent flying into the air with a cry of pain of which I can translate in my mind.
"Pikaa/Argh!"
Pikachu soon lands roughly on the ground as it gets up with a wince and a struggle.
Ash seems to be at a loss of what to do as he cautiously asks aloud, "Pikachu are you okay?"
Pikachu answers back to Ash with a short nod as the Pokémon calls out saying back him, "Pi-ka/Yes."
Ash is appearing to be more relaxed now as he calls out next to Pikachu his next attack order, "Alright then use Agility."
Pikachu then makes rapid running motions as he disappears and reappears while rushing forward as he aims for to attack Hamish as Ash gives out his order for the next attack he wanted Pikachu to use.
"Thunderbolt!"
My eyes widen as I realise and remember what ability my Grandfather's Pokémon has as I try to call out to Ash in warning but my voice is drowned out by the cheers of the crowd as I watch Pikachu stop near Hamish and lets loose a large jagged yellow bolt of electricity from his red cheek pouches as it travels towards the Discharge Pokémon.
The energy then hits the Pokémon but I watch with dread as Ash and Pikachu soon notice that Hamish seems unaffected, in fact it looks even more pumped up than before with the Pokémon howling into the air as it lets out a massive deluge of electrical energy from its body.
This energy shoots into the air, which as soon as it hits the sky the weather begins to change into a darker and harsher appearance as sounds of thunder now rumble in the darkened sky with a few flashes of light coming from the clouds; they darken even further until the area that is most of Pallet Town has become covered in thunderclouds at least from what I can see.
This show of power seems to have scared or at least unnerved both Ash and Pikachu who I can guess are both feeling that they are in for a very tough battle now.
I finally make my voice heard as the crowd has quietened over the show of power by Hamish as I quickly grab Ash and Pikachu's attention between booming sounds of thunder.
"Ash, Hamish's ability is Lightning Rod which makes all electric attacks have no effect when they hit him except for giving power to the Pokémon and his own attacks so please be careful no matter what you do."
Ash seems to understand as does Pikachu as well, they both show a look of courage as they prepare to attack or defend themselves; even though I can just spot Pikachu having a harder time shaking off his fear with slight tremors going through its body.
I watch as my Grandfather looks at the darkened and harsh clouds and then at Hamish with an expression mixed with exasperation and amusement as he soon says to the Pokémon of which I can just catch with my hearing over the sounds of the weather.
"You just had to show off again, didn't you?"
Hamish now looks a little embarrassed at his blatant boasting of power and superiority.
My Grandfather then looks at Ash as he says regretfully, "I'm afraid we will have to wrap this up so I apologise for what I and my Pokémon are about to do."
Ash looks disappointed but seems to grudgingly accept that as he is now he has no chance of winning even if he tries hard enough, He is just too inexperienced and does not have enough knowledge on how to battle against a vastly superior battler.
Hamish seems to have gotten over his embarrassment as he listens to his owner's attack order with a look in the eyes of the dog like Pokémon that I can translate as a mix of pity and regret from what I can gather from my sight of the Pokémon.
"Iceshock Fang!"
I blink in shock and then openly grimace and as I realise what my Grandfather is doing using that unique move of his own creation.
I see Ash having a befuddled expression on his face which tells me he has no idea what this move is and I can understand about that since this move which I know is gonna be really painful and hard for Pikachu to avoid is nothing ever seen in the Anime and Games from my knowledge.
I watch as Hamish soon is blitzing across the field with such speed heading straight for Pikachu, who is still slightly frozen in place at the earlier show of power by the electric dog Pokémon, while I vaguely hear Eevee try and rouse Pikachu into action by telling him to dodge or run away.
It is too late as Hamish is soon within biting distance as he opens his jaw showing just what this move is like.
Its top jaw is nearly golden with how much electric energy is compacted in its upper jaw as it charges up, while the lower jaw has a whitish blue energy glowing brightly over the bottom teeth of the Pokémon as the two energies combined makes the area feel both tingling yet with a hint of chill that is odd to experience.
I know it will be worse for Pikachu as the Pokémon has a look of absolute terror as the jaws close around the Pokémon, with the last thing I hear and see is Ash screaming in horror as the boy calls out for Pikachu with the excruciating screams of the mouse Pokémon soon joining Ash's as I turn around while Eevee is yelling at the top of its lungs in deep panic and fear towards Pikachu.
"PIKACHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!"
How's that for a cliffhanger, pretty dark ain't it?
I am happy yet annoyed with this chapter but I may change it in the future if I want since I wanted to add more but I realised I needed to move on and a new chapter after this might be better as it will give me more time to flesh out the story better and rewatch some of the old Anime episodes either on Netflix or on a website to refresh my memory so that I can be near as accurate as possible for certain scenes and circumstances.
I would also like to say that I am loving the Sun and Moon game which is also a reason for why this chapter took a while to make.
My fave Alolan starter is Rowlet and its evolved forms, though it would have been fun to have a choice of evolving his last form with the use of an item like the Reaper Cloth or some sort of Ghost Type related item that the Pokémon holds while levelling up at a certain stage.
I say this because Rowlet and its evolved form Dartix are the only other Grass/Flying types besides Tropius except if you are using Forests Curse on a pure Flying Type.
In the future I would love to get the other starters and raise them but I have not even finished the game yet so I may play more of it till Christmas or start work on a special Christmas Chapter I had planned to do.
