'Hi Dyl! We're home!'
Lucky walked in to a welcoming wife, giving her a kiss.
'Hi Dad!' A young girl with glasses and a purplish pink sweater with long sleeves, ran into her father's arms.
'Marylin, sweetheart!'
'Hi Bonkers!' Marylin hugged Bonkers.
'Hello little puddin, Marylin!'
'What are you hiding in your coat, Bonkers?'
Marylin had just noticed the moving bulge in Bonkers uniform.
'Uuhhh...?' Bonkers stuttered. What if Marylin and Dyl didn't like the Pikachu he found today? As much as he wanted to admit it, he didn't want this little guy to leave.
But Lucky spoke for him.
'We found a lost creature at the monument today'
'Oh...' Dyl cooed, sympathetically. 'What is it?'
Bonkers sweated a little and reached out of his coat to reveal the yellow mouse.
Dyl and Marylin gasped. Pikachutwo cowered a little back into Bonkers' coat.
'What is that?' Dyl asked curiously.
'Mum! It's a Pikachu! A real Pikachu!'
Bonkers smiled at Marylin's excitement. 'Yeah! It was hiding in a bush near the Washington Monument'
Pikachutwo poked his head out again 'Pikachu pi' ('Nice to meet you')
'Cool! Can I hold him?' Marylin held out her hands eagerly.
'Hold on, Marylin!' Lucky warned her. 'This thing might hurt you. Just before it shocked Bonkers'
'It was a friendly shock, Lucky' Bonkers said.
'But-' Lucky began, but both Bonkers and Marylin gave him puppy dog eyes.
'Oh ok' Lucky sighed. 'But please don't let it hurt her'
He walked into the kitchen.
'Ok little guy' Bonkers said to Pikachutwo. 'No electric shocks on Marylin, ok?'
'Pika' ('I won't')
'Oh he's so furry' Marylin giggled as she cuddled the clone.
Dyl watched with a smile, yet she was cautious in case the Pikachu decided to electrocute her.
But nothing bad happened, and after three minutes, Pikachutwo went back into the arms of Bonkers.
Pikachutwo observed his new surroundings. Bonkers had set a little bed up for him in Marylin's room where he was sleeping too until he had to leave.
It was a nice little room with a bed and a few pictures on the wall.
The bed was fluffy pink and there was a red sleeping bag with a pillow on the floor.
Pikachutwo's attention then fixed on the pictures. They featured Bonkers, a black and white skunk and also a rabbit, wearing a striped sock on one foot.
Pikachutwo giggled at these pictures.
Bonkers walked into the room holding two bowls.
'Hungry, Pikachu?'
Pikachutwo's stomach suddenly rumbled. He hadn't realised how hungry he was. Nor how thristy!
He nodded.
'Here ya go. Dyl is quite the chef. She made meatloaf'
Pikachutwo had never in his life tasted human cooked food. Living on Mount Quena he usually ate berries, fruit and roots.
Pikachutwo sniffed the meatloaf. Then took a bite.
'Like it?'
Bonkers' question was answered when the yellow mouse began eating it like it was going to disappear before he finished.
Then Pikachutwo noticed the waterbowl and lapped it, letting the cool liquid soothe his dry throat.
'Pika pika.' ('Thank you') Pikachutwo mouth dribbled with water a little.
Bonkers sat down beside him and sighed. 'If only I could understand you more. The only thing I can get from you is your name. Pikachu'
'Pikachu pi Pika pikachu chu' (Actually my real name is Pikachutwo')
'Sorry. Still don't get it' Bonkers replied sadly.
Pikachutwo suddenly had an idea.
He gestured Bonkers to follow him outside, into the backyard.
He gathered a stick, leaves and rock to explain his story.
'Oooh! Charades with sticks and stones! I love this game!' Bonkers sat down.
Pikachu took the stick and began drawing a shape in the dirt.
'Um...a tree!...No?...a tower!...Oh..lots of towers! It's a building with windmills!'
Pikachutwo nodded and continued to draw in the dirt.
'It's on something' Bonkers guessed. 'A mountain...Wait! An Island!'
Pikachutwo jumped happily. 'Pika pika!' ('Yes, yes!')
'Ok...An island...a building on an island'
Pikachu gestured himself to the island.
'You come from that island?'
'Pika!' ('Yes!')
And what is that building?'
Pikachutwo spent a second, thinking about how to describe a lab. Then he had another idea.
He took the leaves and two pebbles.
Bonkers looked on with great curiousity.
Pikachu stood the leaves up against each other to form a kind of cone and placed a pebble inside
'Pika' ('Watch')
Then he gestured himself to the pebble in the cone of leaves.
'That's you?'
Pikachutwo nodded and then pointed at the other pebble. Once again he gestured to himself, but shook his head.
'That's also you?' Bonkers asked in awe.
Pikachutwo shook his head, but he once again gestured himself to the pebble.
'There's two of you?
'Pika...' ('Kinda...')
'Kinda?' Bonkers strangely understood that.
Pikachu took the second rock and pretended to take a piece off it. Then he sprinkled the pretend piece on the leaf cone and reached inside to slowly remove the first pebble inside.
Bonkers eyes widened.
'You were created?!'
Pikachutwo nodded.
'That would make you...a clone?!'
Pikachutwo nodded again.
'That's a laboratory?' He pointed to the island picture.
Nod.
'Pikachu' ('Correct')
'Oh my!' Bonkers stared in amazement. 'Is that why you have those markings on your ears?'
He nodded again.
'Oh'
Pikachutwo walked up to Bonkers.
'Pikachu...' Then he held up two fingers.
'Two...what?' Bonkers raised an eyebrow.
Pikachutwo shook his head.
'Pikachu...' Two fingers. Then he used his forefingers to put them together.
'Pikachu...two?' Bonkers guessed. 'Is that your name?'
'Pika!' ('Yes!') Pikachutwo jumped happily.
'Pikachutwo. Nice name. But can I call you Pikatwo?'
The yellow mouse nodded, happily.
'Nice to meet you, Pikatwo!'
