Chapter 2

The gang waited as Nurse Joy took the new Pikachu and began to work on him. Snivy and Pikachu talked with each other while the humans did the same, but with themselves. The Electric-type and Grass-type were sitting close to the door, waiting for their maybe new friend to come back out.

"So," Pikachu began, turning to his teammate, "you said that he was beging attacked by a Liepard?"

"Yes." Snivy nodded, leaning back against the wall that was beside the door. "The cat was hurting him for not doing what she said, I guess. She called him her slave. When she appeared him again, I jumped in and saved him."

The mouse-like Pokemon nodded, his front paws were crossed over his chest, and his eyes were closed as if he was in a deep thought. "I see. He must belong to another trainer The neckless he has on proves that he does. But, what was he doing away from his trainer and with the Liepard?"

"Maybe he ran away or was pokenapped by her."

"Maybe. We'll have to wait for him to come back out to find out what we wanna know."

"You're wasting your time," Emolga said, flying down beside the two of them. "Once that Pikachu comes back out, he'll head back to where he came from."

"And how do you know?" Pikachu looked at her. "You don't know that for a fact. He could end up staying with us."

"Yeah, and Tepig fly," Emolga snorted and flew off, away from the two of them. She couldn't help but think of maybe that new Pikachu would like her and she'd have someone to care about and like. Not that that wouldn't be a problem with her Attarct. If Snivy or any other Pokemon wanted that, then she'd fight.

Pikachu and Snivy watched as Emolga left. The two turned to face each other and shrugged. The two continued to talk till the doors opened up. Everyone stood up and went over as Nurse Joy pushed the odd marked Pikachu out onto a table. The Pikachu was curled up in a ball, sleeping.

"How is he?" Ash asked

"He'll be fine. He just needs some rest and time to recover."

The gang nodded and stayed where they were for the night, to make sure that the Pikachu was going to be okay over the night. Pikachu and Snivy were curled up against the other Pikachu, to make him feel safe and to keep him warm. Emolga watched them. She growled softly and turned away from them, coming up with a plan to get that Pikachu for her own. And not Pikachu or Snivy was going to change that.
