Chapter 1

Thunder's POV

I shivered as the cold night air blew against my yellow fur. It was my job to guard the camp for the night while the others slept.

It was part of becoming a Pikachu of the village.

Everyone had and will go through it.

As I was now.

I let out a yawn, quickly shaking my head, as if to shake the sleepness away. How I wouldn't give to be in my nice new nest right now.

But, I knew I had a job to do, and I was going to see it out till morning. No matter how tired I got. I was going to show Stone that it was me, who was going to be the next Thunder Warrior. I heard pawsteps and froze. I slowly turned my head around to see Stone, the only Raichu in the village. I growled softly. He was the bully in the village, he bullied all the Pikachu and Pichu, even me.

"Well, did you sleep well?" the Raichu snickered.

I glared at him. "Shut up."

Stone pinned me down with a paw, and I struggled to get out of his hold. The Raichu stared down at me with his cold black eyes.

"That isn't anyway to talk to your leader, now is it?"

I snarled and bit his paw, making him yelp and remove it. I sprang to my paws, sparks flying.

"Just wait Stone! When Raikou gets here to choose the toughest one of the village to begin their Thunder Quest with him, I'll be the one going with him! I'll show him that I can be strong WITHOUT eloving into a RAICHU!"

The other Pikachu and Pichu in the village began poking their heads out of their dens to see what was going on. They all watched as Stone and I talked, and or fought.

The Raichu glared down at me, harted in his eyes. "That so little Pikachu?"

"Yes!"

He laughed. "Only the Raichu of the village, ME will be getting out of this dump! And there's nothing you can do or say about it, little Pikarunt."

I growled, baring my teeth at him, sparks flying. "I'll show you Stone. You'll see.. Just you wait when Raikou comes. Then you'll see."

I spun around and walked away.
