Chapter 7— Jake's Secret
A/N: We're finally back!
Aqua: And today at school, Pikachu and Snivy are discussing their song, when suddenly 2 boys pull them apart. Why did they do it? And will Pikachu and Snivy be able to stay together and tell the principal?
Solar: Find out!
All: Enjoy!
It was close to the end of May, and the Shining Gatherers were trying to get things ready for their song. Oshawott and Tepig were collecting natural material for the instruments, and Pikachu and Snivy were sitting at the bottom floor of the work-in-progress...they had no idea what it was.
"So, Pikachu, do you want to hear what I got so far?" Snivy asked.
"Sure," Pikachu replied.
Snivy cleared her throat.
Snivy: Summer's come, winter's done
It'll only be night when the light burns low
Summer's come, winter's done
There'll never be a time when it starts to snow
And here we stand in a nice hot day
You only know you love summer when you let it go
Who-o-oa
The heat never bothered me, anyway...
"That...is...AWESOME!" Pikachu shouted.
"Thanks," Snivy replied.
"Hey, you two!" A voice shouted.
Pikachu and Snivy turned to see two boys walk in through the green door that actually opens and closes. They seemed to be in grade five.
"Yes?" Snivy said.
"What are you doing together?" The first boy said.
"Well, we were working on a song for the final day of school," Pikachu explained. "Oshawott and Tepig were making the instruments, and we were—"
"Well, that's the last thing you'll ever do!" The first boy interrupted.
"What?" Pikachu and Snivy said.
Without warning, the second boy lunged at them.
Pikachu yelped, and jumped out of the way, Snivy doing the same.
"What are you-" Pikachu began, but was cut off as the first boy grabbed him.
"Sorry, rat, but your days are numbered," The boy said, smirking. He gasped as something whacked him in the head, and he let go of the mouse.
"Don't talk to him like that!" Snivy shouted as she landed back on the ground.
"Agh..." Pikachu groaned as he got up. "Th-thanks, Snivy..."
"No problem." Snivy smiled, but then shrieked as the second boy picked her up and threw her across the yard.
"Snivy!" Pikachu shouted. He turned to the second boy. "You'll pay for that!"
"Sure you will," The first boy said, picking the mouse up.
"Don't you dare-" Pikachu wasn't able to finish his sentence as he, too, was thrown across the yard.
The next day, Pikachu and Snivy snuck around, trying to be unseen by the boys who attacked them.
"So, what are we doing again?" Snivy whispered.
"We're supposed to find the principal. She's supervising recess today. She'll find a way to solve this," Pikachu whispered back.
They snuck around the playground and got inside the bottom floor of the thing they were sitting on. They then snuck around the group of trees, jumping across the tops of them. When they got down, they tiptoed to the Principal's spot, but while they were far from her, the two boys from yesterday grabbed them.
"Shoot!" Pikachu and Snivy yelled. "We almost made it!"
They walked off, and said nothing. Pikachu and Snivy were confused when suddenly, they saw Jake and the remaining member of his team beside the same place from yesterday.
Oh no! They thought. What's he going to do?
When they got to Jake, he smirked.
"Hello, leader of Shining Blabbers and leader's girlfriend," he taunted.
"I said don't call us that!" Pikachu shouted, but Jake just flicked him in the head.
"Pikachu, standing up for yourself is dangerous right now. It might increase the bullying we do as we harness your energy," Jake told him, much to Pikachu shock, for two reasons. One, he never called him Pikachu. Second, harnessing his energy?! What?!
"Let's go," Jake grinned.
They went inside the place, and Jake raised a hand, opening a mysterious passage.
"I built this in the dead of night. I saved it for this moment," He explained.
You have no idea how cheesy that sounds, Jake...
They went down, and saw a weird metal table.
They're going to use that to harness my power? Good going, Jake. Good. Going.
Pikachu was placed on the table, and the strap was closed.
"Pikachu..." Snivy whispered. Pikachu turned to see Snivy, over the shoulder of the second boy, reaching out for him as she was carried to a room.
Pikachu looked around, and saw something that seems to measure power levels.
Oh my gosh, they really are harnessing my power! Pikachu thought.
"It's a good thing I'm excel with electronics," Jake said as he typed on the computer. "This won't take very long."
He was just about to press the button, when suddenly a blast of water hit him, and he shouted.
Pikachu looked up to see Oshawott and Tepig standing at the bottom of the stairs, both looking furious.
"Now you'll know what happens when you mess with our friends!" Tepig shouted.
Oshawott suddenly began to glow blue, and Tepig glowed red. Pikachu glowed yellow, and in the room Snivy was in, she glowed green.
They then all teleported out of the base, and onto the surface. They successfully made it to the Principal, and told her everything. She followed them to the base, and when the saw them, they gasped.
"Boys!" The Principal crossed her arms. "This is very worse than bullying! 4 hours detention!"
The boys were all led out, while the Shining Gatherers stayed behind.
"Thank goodness we didn't get our power taken," Pikachu said.
"You got that right," Oshawott agreed.
The bullies stopped bullying that day, and the Shining Gatherers were finally safe from the verbal insults...and whatever on earth they were trying to do.
The End
A/N: Sorry this took forever to come out.
Aqua: We were kinda distracted because of other important stuff.
Solar: Yeah. Anyway, please review, and no flaming! *Looks at tail, which does not light fire* Thank goodness!
All: See ya!
