Okay, last time the two Pikachu were in Pallet. Now that one of them belongs to Ash (yes that WAS Ash, for anyone who didn't know), the other is determined to get him back.


At first, the female Pikachu had no plan. She just ran and ran, as if running would make things better, as if she ran far enough, all her problems would leave her.
Eventually, exhausted, the female Pikachu collapsed on the ground. She was no longer angry, just upset. Her brother had been her greatest friend. No matter where he went, she was always by his side. No matter where she went, she could always count on the fact that he would be right by her side. They shared their hopes and fears. They had no secrets.
But now, the little female Pikachu was devastated. Her dreams that they always had been together and always would were shattered. She lay on the ground, sobbing.
But suddenly she dashed away the tears and stood up. No matter what happened, she would always be there for her brother, and she knew he'd always be there for her. Now it was time for her to come to his rescue, to stand by his side and fight for him.

It was evening. The female Pikachu had been running all day, not stopping except during the hottest part of the day, when she rested in the shade and fed.
Now she had reached a place she found familiar. She looked around, and sniffed the ground. There was no doubt about it. This was the edge of Viridian forest. But she had been running straight as the Pidgeot flys ever since she left Pallet. Suddenly she realised.
"Pikachu! Pi pika chu pi pichu! Pika?" The Persian! His directions led us AROUND the forest! But why?

The little Pikachu headed deeper into the forest. As she did so, she formulated a plan. It was a crazy plan, and she knew her parents would never let her do something like that. But she had to save her brother, no matter what. She just could not tell her parents she was planning to save him, even though she hated keeping anything from them. She dreaded the moment when she would have to tell them. Even though they would never blame her, as it wasn't the female Pikachu's fault, she could not bear even to think of the sadness that would be on their faces when she told them that their son had been captured.
Finally she reached the clearing where the herd played. They were not as lively as usual. Many had been up all night searching for them, and her family hadn't slept properly since they found that the two young Pikachu were gone.
"Pi! Pika!" Mum! Dad!
The little female ran into the clearing, to the great surprise of the herd.
"Pikachu? Pi pika!" Sparkycheeks? You're back!
The female was so happy to be home, she didn't even care that her mother called her by her annoying nickname, which everyone called her. She rushed over and hugged her parents. The rest of the herd gathered around, chattering excitedly.
"Pi pika pikachu! Pi, pichu pika?" We're so glad you're alright! But where's Sparker?
Her father hugged her tightly as he said this. But her face clouded with sadness as he mentioned her brother's nickname. 'Sparkycheeks' stood back.
"Pika,... pichu." Sparker,... was captured.
She hung her head.
Both her parents' eyes widened in shock.
"Pika, chu?" Sparker, captured?
"Pi, pi,... chu pi chu!" But, but,... he's too young!
Sparkycheeks watched sadly as her mother began to cry, while her father comforted her.
More than ever, she wanted to rescue Sparker.

Later that night, as she tried to sleep, Sparkycheeks was approached by her youngest brother (he had only just evolved), who everyone called Cutie, because he was cute and very good natured, and her oldest cousin, Thunder, who earned that nickname because she spent an entire week trying to learn, and then perfecting, her Thunder attack. Thunder was the only Raichu in the herd. It had been her dream, ever since she evolved into a Pikachu, to become fully evolved.
"Pikachu? Pi pika?" Sparkycheeks? Are you awake?
"Rai rai rai, rai rai rai rai rai rai!" Of course she is, you woke her up to ask her!
"Pi pika?" What is it?
"Pika pichu? Pipi ka pika chu." Are you okay? We know you're real upset.
"Pi, pi chu." Yeah, I'm fine.
"Rai rai? Rai rai rairai rai rai?" What happened? How did Sparker get caught?
Sparkycheeks told them the whole story, about how they accidentally got separated from the herd, and ended up in Viridian City. She told them how the Persian tricked them and gave them directions that led them around Viridian Forest to Pallet Town, and Sparker's Lightning Stunt (which was how it was known forevermore), as well as the Tauros stampede, and finally how he was captured by Professor Oak and given to a Trainer.
"Rai rai rai rai?!" Given to a Trainer?!
"Pika pi chu pikachu!" You didn't tell mummy and daddy that!
Sparkycheeks smiled momentarily. Cutie didn't have that nickname for nothing.
"Pichu," I know,
"Rai rai rai rai?" Why didn't you tell them?
"Pikachu pika chu pika. Pika, pi pi chu pikachu!" They're already worried enough without knowing. Besides, I have a plan to rescue him!
"Rai rai rai? Rai rai rai rai rai!" What's the plan? I'm gonna help you!
"Pika!" Me too!
"Pichu pi. Pi pikachu, chu pipi pikachu pika pi." You can't help. I'm going to go to Mewtwo and ask him to change me into a human.

TO BE CONTINUED...

Wow, that was quick. PikaPunk hasn't even found part three yet, and he/she has reviewed every fic I've written so far!
So anyway, PLEASE review. I really love hearing your ideas Mewberries, they're great and I always try to use them!
And I just made the nicknames up now, so that I have something to call the two Pikachu.
