Talking "Hi"
Thinking Hi
Pokemon Talking "Hi"
Chapter 2: On the run!
The sun was setting in the small town of Pallet and the Pokémon trainer known as Ash Ketchum was running as fast as he can out of his hometown with his starter and trusted friend on his shoulder. He kept running, not stopping once to take a break until finally he made it to the top of a hill and the entrance of Route one, he looked back and saw in the distance Police Officers parking outside of a building with a windmill where the famous Professor Oak lives. Ash's heart ran faster watching the scene, he couldn't exactly tell what's going on since he was so far away but saw that the Officers were making their way inside the lab. How… how could this happen? he thought as he continued to watch, until he was snapped out of it thanks to Pikachu tapping him on the head and pointing at the forest. Ash gave a small nod and made his way into Route one at a running speed. They made their way deeper into the forest, not bothering to walk on the path in Route one, until they came across a stream that was calm without one single wave. Ash began to have flashbacks of the day he started his journey as a trainer and getting pulled by the current with Pikachu unconscious in his arms while being hunted by Spearow, only this time it was Humanity.
Pikachu didn't seem that interested in the trip down memory lane since something more interesting was on his mind. Pokémon that lived in the woods of Route one were watching the two and followed wherever they go. Ash didn't notice there stalkers because it was dark with the only light coming off the moon. Pikachu knew why they where here and didn't tell Ash knowing that they weren't a threat. Things soon turned for the worst when thunder was heard in the distance and getting closer every minute. Then small raindrops were falling from the sky causing static to fly off Pikachu's red electric cheeks.
This isn't good Ash thought,knowing that they didn't have any tent with them and it was still a day long trip to Viridian City. Ash was thinking harder than ever before, with questions floating in his head What are we going to do? We can't sleep out here in rain without shelter! I have to do something but what?!. Pikachu once again brought Ash back into reality when he notice a Kangaskhan with of course its child in its pouch, just behind a few bushes. Ash searched his pocket until he found his updated Kanto Pokédex and scanned the Kangaskhan.
"Kangaskhan, a Parent Pokémon. Once approaching extinction, they are now protected by law and inhabit the Safari Zone. Approach with extreme caution. The Kangaskhan is a rare Pokémon which raises its children in its pocket. They will attack viciously and without warning if they feel their young are threatened in any way." After he put the Pokédex back into his pocket.
Why on earth would a Kangaskhan be all the way out here? Ash thought, Pikachu got in his stance in case the Pokémon attacked but instead it stood there waving its paw telling them to follow. "What do you think Pikachu? Should we follow?" ask Ash earning a nod from Pikachu after hopping onto his shoulder. Ash and Pikachu kept following close behind the Kangaskhan who led them to a cave tall enough for them all to stand in, surrounded by a small lake. The cave was big enough to fit at least five more full grown Kangaskhan, and hiding out of view was a small pile of berries and fruits. Pikachu hopped off Ash's shoulder and walked inside of the cave waiting for Ash.
"Are you letting us stay here for the night?" Asked Ash, not sure whats going on. The Kangaskhan nodded to confirm Ash's question.
Ash smiled and gave out a sigh in relief that they won't have to sleep out in the rain. "Thanks so much Kangaskhan, we promise to leave as soon as the rain stops." earning a smile back from Kangaskhan.
Time soon past and Ash fell asleep on the cave floor, while Pikachu was watching the entrance. "You can sense our watchers, can't you?"
Pikachu turned and saw the mama Kangaskhan "Yeah they've been following us for awhile now, its because of Ash isn't it."
The Kangaskhan nodded "The Pokémon all feel that the chosen one is depressed, scared, and confused."
"Does every Pokémon know who he is?" asked Pikachu
"Yes, the ones that are lucky enough to meet one of the Legendaries have asked and confirmed it. You're trainer…" "and best friend…" Pikachu interrupted.
" and best friend is not only the chosen one, but also Mew's, and Arceus child if the rumors are true."
Pikachu went wide eyed at the last part "Really! Wow, I've known that Ash was the chosen one since the event at the Orange Islands, and then learning from Mew that Ash is her child when we went to the Tree of Beginning. But I didn't know Arceus was his father."
"Where are you two heading now?" asked Kangaskhan.
"We don't really know, Ash has been accused of stealing expensive technology and now Officer Jenny and the rest of Kanto's police force is after us."
"Do you have any idea who it was who framed him?" asked Kangaskhan.
Pikachu shook his head "We don't, but Ash's friends are trying to find any evidence they can to help Ash's case. They better hurry to because I don't know how long we…"
Pikachu's ears began to twitch, there was a lot of people heading towards them. Running to the entrance to the cave, Pikachu could see large group of police officers with Arcanine's, Growlithe's and Pidgeot's heading towards the cave. Pikachu ran over to Ash and woke him up from his slumber, after realizing what was happening, he grabbed his bag and run out of the cave with Pikachu.
It was still raining, behind Ash and Pikachu were the officers still giving chase after the thirteen year old. No matter how fast the two ran they couldn't get away, trying anything to give them the slip, using Pikachu's Thunderbolt to distract them and even some of the wild Pokémon helped out. The two were eventually stopped when they ran into another set of officers. A official Police chopper was hovering above them, shing a ray of light marking their location. "Ash Ketchum, you're completely surrounded with no escape! We are placing you under arrest charged with stealing and property damage! Send back your Pikachu into it's Pokéball and place any other Pokémon or items you have on the ground with your hands above your head!".
Ash and Pikachu's minds were going crazy thinking almost the exact same thing. Idiots! I/he didn't do it!. All Hope was lost, until a white glow surrounded the two, and in a flash they dispersed leaving the Officer Jenny and her team speechless. Ash and Pikachu opened their eyes to find they weren't in Route one anymore but in a large white room looking like a palace with a Large throne on the other side of the room, marble floors and pillars holding up the ceiling. The room was surprisingly bright considering there was no sign of lights keeping it lit.
Ash was about to speak until another voice asked the same question. "Where are we?". Ash looked around to find it was still only him and Pikachu in the room.
Ash scratched his head. "Thats funny I thought I heard a voice."
"I didn't hear anything." Ash look down to find the words where coming from Pikachu.
"I-It was you! I can understand you!" Pikachu looked at Ash with the same shocked expression before asking. "You can! How?"
"Its because you're in the Hall of Origins…" Ash and Pikachu turn to see the alpha Pokémon himself Arceus entering the room. "Every language spoken here is translated."
After getting over the shock Ash was the first to ask "Arceus! So it was you who helped teleport us out of there?.
Arceus nodded "I saw what happened in my reflecting pool and got you two out before they had the chance. In the mean time you two are welcome to stay here for as long as you want. Follow me and I'll show you to your room."
Ash then picked up Pikachu and held him in his arms and followed Arceus out of the main room into a large hallway connecting to many different rooms.
"I should probably warn you that this is the time of year when all the other Legendaries come back here and stay for the month." said Arceus.
Ash nodded "I'm sorry if we are in the way."
"Not at all Ash, in fact I think most if not all the other Legendaries are willing to see you again even the ones you haven't met yet. All I ask if you can stay in your room while we have are meetings, after you're welcome to look around and do whatever you please."
Soon they arrived at Ash's and Pikachu's room right next to Arceus and Mew's. When they went inside they saw a king size bed, a desk with four draws on the side, a large T.V and two other doors with a closet and personal bathroom.
"The others will be here soon, I recommended you get some rest and I'll send one of the other Legendaries to inform you when breakfast is ready." Then Arceus left closing the door behind him, leaving Ash and Pikachu so they could rest.
