Alright, now to carry on from what happened last time, We will see now if Pikachu will be successful, well I already now as I write it but time for you to find out, Enjoy.
Chapter 10: Willing
Pikachu splashed into the lake with his eyes set on obtaining the Remeyo weed, if he didn't it was certain Snivy would not make it through the day and everyone else would eventually follow in a few days' time. He knew that he could not allow anything to stop him, even the Palpitoad and Stunfisk that is guarding the weeds.
Pikachu thought as he swam forward "The only reason they didn't win was because I didn't go all with my electric attacks; well let's see them stop me this time". Pikachu swam down back towards the bottom again; to get him there faster he used quick attack and sped down. He looked around but he could not see any sign of them.
He looked behind every rock and corner of rocks to see them but it was like they had vanished Pikachu went further and approached the crevices where the Remeyo weed was located. Pikachu smiled and thought "Maybe I can get them without a fight after all". Suddenly Mud shots impacted around Pikachu which fazed him for a second. Once he got his bearings again he looked to see Palpitoad was above him and shot down and landed in front of Pikachu "So you're back for more".
Pikachu glared at him and said "This time though I will get that Remeyo weed". Palpitoad glared back and said "Why your determined to get it I don't know, but what I do know is you won't get it" Palpitoad immediately fired a Hydro pump at Pikachu, He quickly dodged it thanks to quick attack, he slided onto a rock side and quickly quick attacked Palpitoad off from it and pushed him into a rock.
Palpitoad quickly recovered and said "Not bad". He quickly lunged up and unleashed a sludge wave towards Pikachu. He quickly dived down as the wave smashed into the rock reducing it to pieces. Pikachu quickly got back up and was about to use thunder bolt but found himself getting tackled from behind into a rock. Once he turned around on the rock he saw Stunfisk and he fired a discharge at Pikachu.
He braced but he felt nothing, he really felt a recharge in his strength which left him confused. Stunfisk was shocked and said "What, how did you be affected". Pikachu smiled and said "I am a full electric type; you are only half electric which means". Pikachu unleashed Thunderbolt on Stunfisk which impacted and did big damage with Stunfisk yelling in agony.
Stunfisk shock off the affect and joined Palpitoad side. Pikachu found himself struggling as he moved forward. He forgot his breather and was down for a good while and needed air so he placed his hands around his neck but couldn't do anything. Palpitoad and Stunfisk both laughed and said "The curse of non-water types can't breathe underwater". They both approached as Pikachu couldn't do anything to stop them as he struggled badly.
Suddenly Stunfisk found themselves getting hit by a water gun which sent them both into a rock. Pikachu saw Oshawott swim down and threw his razor shell into Palpitoad sending him into a rock as well. The razor shell came back into Oshawott's hand like a boomerang. He smiled and swam over to Pikachu with a breather in hand "Here".
Pikachu accepted the breather and quickly put it on, and breathed heavily allowing him to move again "I'm amazed you went that long holding your breath". Pikachu nodded to him and said "I got a lot of time to practise on it, what about you, opening your eyes". Oshawott smiled and said "I haven't got a choice if our friend's lives come between me facing my fears or not, I must fight against my fears".
Pikachu smiled at him but they quickly got battle ready as Palpitoad and Stunfisk recovered and faced them off "You will not get past us". They both lunged forward with Palpitoad readying hydro pump and Stunfisk readying Discharge. Pikachu said to Oshawott "Wait for them to fire and just before they hit jump above and then hit them". Oshawott nodded as they did a combination attack and fired directly at them.
"Now". The pair jumped up dodging the attack and quickly retaliated by firing their thunderbolt and Water gun in a combination attack right at Palpitoad and Stunfisk. They both gasped before the attack impacted and sent them both back wounded. Pikachu and Oshawott both charged forward with Iron tail and Razor shell primed up. Pikachu smashed into Palpitoad and Oshawott striked Stunfisk knocking them both back again.
They paired off against each other with Pikachu vs. Palpitoad and Oshawott against Stunfisk. Palpitoad after recovering glared at Pikachu "Why do you persist on taking off our territory". Pikachu defiantly said to him "Because if we don't get it, my friends will slowly die". Palpitoad simply said to him "Is that all just a few friends dying, I get the feeling there is more to it".
Pikachu grunted and said "Yes, the life of the…one I love is in danger as well". Palpitoad was left surprised and Pikachu was surprised he finally admitted that word. "The one you love as well". Palpitoad shock his head and said "How pathetic, something like love is stupid, now I have more incentive to stop you". Pikachu glared angrily "I will save her". Pikachu charged forward with quick attack, Palpitoad tried to hit him with mud shot but Pikachu dodged around it and impacted him pushing him back even more.
Pikachu not giving him a chance to recover then moved onto another Iron tail and smacked him away. Palpitoad now wounded said "You are determined I will give you that". Palpitoad shot a hydro pump and sent Pikachu into a rock. Pikachu felt his back in slight pain and simply ignored it and unleashed thunderbolt and hit Palpitoad and as they were in water did a massive amount of damage and he yelled in pain.
Pikachu stopped and glared as Palpitoad spoke "How". Pikachu having had enough unleashed another iron tail sending Palpitoad flying away out of sight. Pikachu smiled having beaten the Pokémon. He looked to see Oshawott swat Stunfisk away with a razor shell and Stunfisk said "Forget this, I'm out of here". Stunfisk swam away quickly and Oshawott smiled.
Pikachu looked to Oshawott and they shared a smile "We did it". Pikachu nodded and said "Now let's get that Remeyo weed". They both swam towards the nearest crevice, once they arrived at the entrance to the Crevice they looked in to see the Remeyo weed. They both smiled and squeezed their way in.
They both landed right next to the Remeyo weed and Oshawott said "Is this it". Pikachu nodded "Without a doubt let's get this up there". Oshawott was the first and grabbed as much as he could. Once his arms were loaded he said "Okay I will take this up, but we should bring as much as possible just to be safe". Pikachu said in agreement "Okay I will grab some more over there, you take all of that back up, and they need this now". Oshawott nodded and he begun swimming off out of the crevice.
Pikachu looked to the Weed and begun gathering as much as he can. There was only a few left of the pile so he didn't have to carry many. Once he had it all he turned for the entrance and swam towards it. He moved himself out and begun swimming up towards the surface. As he was halfway he suddenly found himself being pulled by his tail. He looked to see Palpitoad had wrapped his tail around Pikachu's "No one does that to me".
Palpitoad spun and sent Pikachu back down to the lake floor dropping the weed into a pile close to him. Pikachu didn't have enough time to recover as Palpitoad landed on him with one foot on him. He then kicked on the breather which went flying off Pikachu's move onto another rock platform. Pikachu quickly unleashed a thunder bolt which threw Palpitoad off of him.
Pikachu got up and used iron tail to smack him back even more. Palpitoad quickly recovered and used Mud shot on Pikachu. He ended up smashing into a rock but he was able to recover quickly and used thunder bolt on him again. Palpitoad was very weak now. He said to Pikachu "How are you so strong". Pikachu then fired up a volt tackle and zoomed straight towards Palpitoad who panicked before being impacted into. He went flying and smashed into a rock which crumbled to bits.
Pikachu waited for the rock to finish, he saw Palpitoad on the other side out, and Pikachu smiled and turned to the Remeyo weed. But he began struggling as he was starting to go out of breath "No not now". Pikachu swam quickly and grabbed the Remeyo weed pile and quickly went for the surface as quick as possible. The more he pushed himself the more he struggled.
When he was halfway up he couldn't move anymore and struggled badly "No, got to get back". His vision started to blur and looked to the Remeyo weed. He then knew he wouldn't be able to get there. He used the remaining strength he could muster and used Iron tail which propelled the Weed towards the surface.
Pikachu smiled and then begun sinking back down to the bottom of the lake. He looked to the shining top of the water which provided a nice view. Once he hit the rock platform, he tried to move but he was struggling too much he couldn't move much. He looked to his left to see the breather lying close to him.
Pikachu moved his arm out to try and grab it, it was just a fingertip from his reach and he couldn't move. Pikachu tried to grab it but by the time he got his finger on the breather he fell back down on the platform and couldn't move. As his eyes closed slowly he thought "Snivy, I succeeded, I promised I would get the weed to help you and I did, you will be okay now". Pikachu's eyes closed as all movement on his body ceased and ended up motionless.
Back on the surface…
Oshawott had provided the Remeyo weed to the group but was occupied he never noticed Pikachu didn't return. Iris finished stirring the weed antidote and placed it in a cup "It is ready". Iris went to Emolga and said "Drink this; this will make you feel better". One by one she gave the necessary dose to all the Pokémon. Once she finished Iris said to Ash and Cilan "The antidote should take effect in a moment so all we do is wait".
Ash looked to Snivy who was still unconscious "What about Snivy". Iris sighed sadly and said "If I can get a little more then I should have enough to temporarily stall the poison in her body but to completely cure her we need to get her to a Pokémon centre". Ash nodded and looked around "Hey where is Pikachu". Oshawott finally noticed he wasn't there and immediately went running back towards the lake. Ash curiously saw him go and chased after him.
As soon as Oshawott arrived he saw a few bits of Remeyo weed had floated to the side and picked them out and confusingly looked at them "Pikachu where are you". Ash arrived and saw the weed. "Find out where Pikachu is I will get this to Iris then come back to help you okay".
Oshawott nodded and immediately jumped in and dived down into the lake as Ash took the weed and ran towards Iris. Oshawott swam down to the floor of the lake and looked around but didn't see anything, he shouted "Pikachu". He listened but there was no response, he looked around and still couldn't see anything. He decided to swim a little further to find out where he is.
As he looked around he thought "Pikachu where are you". Oshawott was starting to become concerned about it until he saw a sight that was a shock to him. Pikachu was lying on the Rock platform in front of him completely motionless. Oshawott quickly made his way to his side "Pikachu". Oshawott saw the breather and assumed Pikachu drowned due to losing the mask. He quickly picked Pikachu and took hold of him and begun swimming up "I hope I aren't too late".
Iris was stirring up the weeds into liquid that Ash had handed to her. Once she saw they were ready she tipped it all into a cup and walked over to an extremely week Snivy. She said to Cilan "I hope we are not too late to help her". Iris sat down and carefully opened Snivy's mouth as she was unconscious. She then gently and slowly poured the dose into her mouth in bits to allow it to go down.
Cilan looked on worried as Iris finished and she said "And now all we can do is hope". They both sat there waiting for a response from the Pokémon, both beginning to fear they were too late. Until they saw Snivy's hand twitch a little. Iris begun to smile as she slowly opened her eyes and slowly shock her head. "Snivy are you okay".
Snivy weakly nodded as Iris said "We have been able to give you a dose which will hold most of the poison back for now so we can get you to a Pokémon centre". Snivy weakly smiled as Axew stood next to her "Are you okay". Snivy replied to him "I feel awful, but I will be fine". Axew smiled and said "Can you sit". Snivy tried but despite how better she was feeling it was difficult to move and leaned herself up the rock a bit more and said "Not really, but I will try".
Suddenly they heard a shout "PIKACHU". They all recognised it as Ash's voice and everyone quickly looked in the direction. A few moments later Oshawott and Ash returned from the tall grass with an unconscious Pikachu in his arms. Everyone immediately gasped at the sight and Snivy was left horrified "Pikachu". Ash laid him down next to Cilan who was quick to look over him.
Cilan looked to Ash "What is his condition". Ash quickly said "I don't know, I just can't bring him round". As they were struggling, Snivy defiantly tried to stand up but she couldn't and she said to Axew "Help me up will you". Axew didn't argue and quickly grabbed one of her arms and placed it over his back and wrapped on of his arms around her back and lifted her up. Snivy struggled and fell back down a little but managed to stand up.
They began walking over with Snivy weakly moving her legs "Ugh". They moved on towards everyone. Oshawott noticed and ran over to help Axew move her. Eventually when they arrived next to Pikachu, Snivy fell down onto her knee's right next to Pikachu and was left horrified to see Pikachu was not responding to anything "Pikachu". She nudged him but there was no response".
Ash, Cilan and Iris looked at how determined Snivy was despite still being poisoned. Ash quickly said "I have to get them to a Pokémon centre". Iris looked to him concerned "But how, there isn't a Pokémon centre for miles". Ash then took hold of Pikachu in one arm and Snivy in the other "I have to try, If I don't both of them are in danger right now, I have to help them". Snivy looked to Ash with renewed hope and thought "I hope he is right". She looked to Pikachu "He can't die, not after what he did for us". Snivy begun to grow concerned as Pikachu wasn't showing any change. Cilan said "If you get to the roads that are just north of here, you may be able to get help".
Ash nodded as Cilan pointed the way for him and turned to Oshawott "Oshawott come with us, I need you to watch my back in case we get into any trouble". Oshawott nodded and ran next to him. Iris nodded "Alright as soon as everyone here is able to move again when they are fully cured of the poison we will start catching up with you". Ash nodded and said "Alright let's go Oshawott".
Oshawott nodded as the pair begun running north with Pikachu and Snivy in Ash's arms. They left the group and ran into the tree line, Oshawott was looking around for any sign of Pokémon but fortunately for them there was no sign of any. They ran on with Ash looking to Snivy who was watching in front of them "Don't worry Snivy we will get help".
Snivy nodded slowly and continued to watch the front for any sign of danger but with her sight blurred slightly due to the poison in her body she wasn't able to see much or wouldn't be able to spot anything in time. They continued on with Ash looking into his other arm to see Pikachu was still not doing anything but lying in his arm completely still and cold. Ash upon seeing the sight again struck him a bit but reinforced him getting Pikachu help.
They could hear a couple of cars which Ash was able to put on a bit of a smile and moved on towards the road. Once he ran out of the tree line he saw one car had zoomed off past them into the distance, no traffic was found but that didn't stop him, they started running along the side of the road and begun making their way towards anything that would have a Pokémon centre in its vicinity. Snivy had difficulty but even she could see just how hopeless it was beginning to look for her and Pikachu, no Pokémon centre existed for miles and she knew Ash would never be able to reach one for them in time.
Snivy suddenly made a painful groan and laid back into Ash's arm, upon seeing this he begun to panic "No Snivy". Ash placed the pair down onto the floor with Oshawott coming to Pikachu's side with Ash focusing on Snivy "Snivy hang on, we can make it". Snivy however wasn't as optimistic and half closed her eyes as she was starting to feel the strain of poison a bit again now".
Ash looked to Pikachu and was starting to lose hope a little, but he failed to hear a bike pull up close to him "Hey is everything alright here". Ash looked behind him to see Officer Jenny on her bike next to him "Officer Jenny I need your help, both my Pikachu and Snivy are really hurt and if I don't get them to a Pokémon centre, I'm going to lose them". Jenny quickly shifted the bike around and said "Get in, I'll get you there".
Ash smiled with renewed hope on him "Thank you. Oshawott get in". Ash grabbed Pikachu and Snivy again as Oshawott jumped into the free seat compartment on Jenny's bike as Ash stepped in and sat down with the weak Pokémon in his arms. "Ok hold on". Jenny quickly sped up the engine and begun driving down the road. Ash looked to Pikachu who was still out and said "Don't worry I'm going to get you both help Pikachu, just hang in there".
Ash then looked to Snivy who was still awake but was weakening again. Ash moved her down until she was sitting in his lap and said "Stay strong Snivy, we will be at the Pokémon centre soon, just hang in there". Snivy opened her eyes again to see the situation which did calm her down to know they were on a bike. Jenny spoke up "So what happened to them".
Ash then spoke to her "Snivy got poisoned by multiple foongus while I was training with Oshawott and our friends Pokémon too, Pikachu, Oshawott and I went to get Remeyo weed to try and improve her condition which is working at the moment. But some Pokémon got in our way and I returned up to help with the poisoned Pokémon while Oshawott and Pikachu grabbed the Remeyo weed. But when Oshawott came back the second time he found Pikachu had drowned and he lost his breather".
Officer Jenny nodded "Have you been able to do anything for Pikachu's condition". Ash shock his head "Not really been able to and well I ended up back there trying to get these two help". Jenny then curiously asked "Where are your friends". Ash looked down and said "They are helping their Pokémon recover fully while I get these two help as Snivy took on a lot more poison then the others did".
Officer Jenny nodded and speeded up a little more to get them to their destination quicker. Ash looked to see Oshawott who was next to his legs jump on and indicate to Snivy who was weakening badly again "I know Oshawott the Remeyo weed's effect is starting to wear off a little we will get to that Pokémon centre". Oshawott nodded seriously as he looked back to the road.
A while later they arrived in Virbank city where Ash's final gym challenge would be, Jenny quickly said "This is Virbank city we are in, the Pokémon centre will be around this next corner". Ash nodded as they sped forward, a few people took an interest in the bike as it went around the corner. The Pokémon centre was within their site and Ash smiled as he would be able to get help for his Pokémon now. Ash looked to see no change in Pikachu's condition and Snivy's condition was starting to get worse again.
Jenny stopped them at the entrance to the Pokémon centre and said "Alright, you're good to go". Ash quickly replied to her "I can't thank you enough Officer Jenny". Jenny nodded to him and said "No problem at all, just get them help". Ash stepped out of the bike with Oshawott and said "Thank you so much Officer Jenny". Ash then looked to the pair of Pokémon in his arms and quickly ran into the Pokémon centre.
Ash ran over to the desk with Nurse Joy seeing him and he said to her "Nurse Joy I need help, My Pikachu and Snivy are both hurt badly". Nurse Joy stood up to assess and saw Pikachu unconscious and Snivy struggling for her life and immediately said "What's causing their problems". Ash looked to Snivy first "Snivy was caught by a massive Poison cloud created by foongus and Pikachu had drowned for a long time in a lake".
Nurse Joy nodded and got onto her computer "Audino, I need a stretcher for 2 small Pokémon an Electric and grass type immediately". Joy got off the computer and came from behind the desk to look at the Pokémon "How long have they been in these conditions". Ash quickly replied "Pikachu has had this happen to him a while again and Snivy has been in this for an hour at the least, we gave her a dose of Remeyo weed to try to fight back the poison".
Nurse Joy nodded and said "Good that Remeyo weed already applied should be able to help us stabilise her condition, we will do what we can for them". Suddenly an Audino appeared with a stretcher with two small pillows together. Once she brought it to Ash, he set Pikachu on one of them and Snivy on the other and said to them both "Okay you two now save your strength Nurse Joy is going make you better. Snivy who was still awake barely looked to Ash and said "Sn…Sni…vy".
Joy then said to Ash "You can come and wait in the hallway next to the emergency room if you want". Ash nodded as they all started moving. Oshawott jumped onto Ash's shoulder as they followed the group as they made their way down a hallway that has gone away from the main reception. They turned a corner and saw the emergency room with a row of seats and a small table right outside. Joy turned to Ash and said "Could you wait right here please and we will let you know of any developments".
Ash nodded and said "Thank you Nurse Joy". Joy and the Audino took Snivy and Pikachu into the emergency room and closed the door behind them with a red light coming on above the door. Ash stood there in front of the door for a few moments wondering "Please be okay". Ash then moved and sat on one of the chairs provided and put his bag on the table with Oshawott jumping off his shoulder onto the table and looking worried at him.
"Osha, Oshawott". Ash looked to him and then looked down again "I'm fine Oshawott I'm just worried, this brings back memories of other Pokémon I had with me before I came to Unova and was in a position like this". Oshawott looked down and thought "If I didn't leave Pikachu he wouldn't be in this condition". He thought back to when Pikachu told him to go and take the Remeyo weed back up, he knew he had his breather on then but when he found him he didn't see the breather on his mouth "What did I miss down there".
They both looked at the door with the red light still on; Ash looked down in sadness wondering what was going to happen. An hour later they were still in the position and anxiously awaiting word from Joy but nothing all was quiet and Ash hadn't moved an inch. Anxiously awaiting word on the condition of his Pokémon, He looked every now and then to the door hoping it would open but nothing. Suddenly he heard a voice call to him "Ash". He looked to see Iris and Cilan run over to him with their Pokémon "Hey your here" Ash saw Pignite and Swadloon and said "Sorry I left you back there". Pignite and Swadloon smiled and shock their heads "Pignite".
Ash made a short smile but it immediately went as Iris said "Where are they". Ash looked behind him to the emergency room door and said "They have been in for an hour now, I'm getting worried". Cilan came and placed a hand on his shoulder "Don't worry I have faith that nurse Joy will do everything she can". Ash nodded and turned around "I know but it has been a while now and I am getting worried".
They all took their seats and continued with the long wait, All of them every now and then switching positions around the waiting area outside the room, Some moving into funny positions, some sitting on the floor but Ash once again did not move an inch and did not turn his eyes away from the door once. Cilan returned to the group with 3 cups of tea in hand. He handed one to Iris who thankfully accepted one off him and handed one to Ash "Thanks Cilan".
He immediately held the tea in his hands and turned back to the door. Cilan looked worried at him and said "Ash you should drink that, it will help calm you". Ash looked to the tea and then to him "I'm sorry, I am just worried badly about them both". Ash then took the tea and drank a little bit and placed it on the table. He finally was able to look away from the door and moved himself so he was facing the table and looked down and sighed.
Suddenly he heard the sound of the door open with Nurse Joy stepping out, Ash immediately stood up and said "Are they okay Nurse Joy". Nurse Joy walked over to him and smiled "Snivy has been able to make a recovery from the poison". Ash smiled "That is awesome". Right on cue Audino brought Snivy out on a trolley who was sitting on it and the door closed behind them "But her senses are still weak at the moment as she hasn't fully recovered yet so I recommend she get some rest".
Ah walked over to Snivy and smiled "Wow Snivy you had me worried". He picked her up and gave her a hug which Snivy returned. Once they released Ash held her in his arms and stopped smiling "And Pikachu". Nurse Joy stopped smiling "Unfortunately we haven't been able to wake Pikachu; we have confirmed he is still alive as we found a heartbeat but it is very weak. We have managed to raise his temperature back to normal levels which will give him a better chance of survival but it is still very low unless he wakes".
Ash sadly looked down and Snivy got upset as well but she still didn't understand hoe Pikachu ended up in that state. "We are going to continue for a little longer and see if we can bring him around". Ash nodded as Joy and Audino returned into the emergency room to continue. Ash took Snivy and sat back down on the chair. Snivy sat in his lap completely depressed over Pikachu and saw Oshawott on the table. She immediately spoke up to him "Oshawott how did Pikachu end up like that".
Oshawott looked to her and looked down "I honestly don't know, I took the first amount of Remeyo weed while he remained behind to collect the second amount. I brought it back and once I noticed he didn't return I went to find him and found more weed on the surface at the side. I dived in and I eventually found him on the floor drowned with his breather right next to him. I don't know how he ended up in that condition. I assume, he was attacked or something but without the Remeyo weed he got to the surface, we couldn't have helped you".
Hearing that made Snivy get even more worried and desperate. She stood up but found difficulty as her legs wobbled and she felt a little dizzy. Ash grabbed her and said "Take it easy Snivy; here I'll help you down". Ash placed Snivy on the floor and she moved slowly close to the door and sat down in front of it.
She began thinking "Pikachu please don't tell me you sacrificed yourself just to save me, please, I couldn't live with myself if you die having done that". Everyone looked to how upset she was just staring at the emergency room door even Emogla who hated Snivy so much felt sorry for her.
Axew walked up to her and said "Are you okay". Snivy shock her head "No, but if Pikachu is okay I will be". Axew sat down and said "This must be hard for you". Snivy nodded and said "It is, I feel like I'm going to go unconscious if I don't know if he is okay soon". Axew reassured her "That's shows how much you care, don't stop he will need you". Snivy nodded and looked to him "Thanks Axew, I know your trying to help but right I need to know he is okay".
The process was repeating again, time passed and Snivy did not move a single bit, everyone moved around every now and then, even though he was exhausted due to her still healing fully but she didn't care, she kept her herself ready for the second that door opens. Ash continued to drink his tea and was noticing Snivy was becoming even more worried by every minute that passed.
Snivy looked down and was practically close to showing a tear in her eye but she resisted the urge and remained vigilant. But she was slowly deteriorating in her calm state and becoming even more worried and was being overwhelmed by the emotions. Scraggy stepped forward and asked her "you okay Snivy". Snivy glared a little "I will be but if Pikachu doesn't leave here alive you won't be the same".
Scraggy looked confused "What do you mean". Snivy glared at him and said "This is all your fault, if you didn't provoke those Foongus like you provoke everything round you, none of this would have happened and if Pikachu doe survive, you should consider yourself lucky". Scraggy looked down and knew he was right "I sorry Snivy". Snivy calmed down and said "I'm sorry Scraggy; I'm just so worried about him". Scraggy looked to her "No your right".
Snivy looked to him as he said "If I didn't provoke those Foongus we wouldn't be in this situation and everything would be okay, but I screwed up and put everyone's lives in danger". Snivy looked down and although he was right she did feel responsible for upsetting him as he walked away.
Suddenly the door opened again and everyone's attention was focused on Nurse Joy as she stepped out and walked over to Ash "I am sorry Ash but we are trying everything but Pikachu isn't coming around". Snivy begun to Panic a little and walked over slowly to Ash "What is going to happen now"? Joy quickly answered him "We are going to give him some time and then try again; you can go in and seem him if you like".
Ash stood up and nodded but he saw Snivy speak up "Snivy, Snivy". Ash immediately knew what she meant and said "Can Snivy come in with me". Nurse Joy nodded "Of course but no one else we don't want to overcrowd in there". Ash nodded again and said "Thank you". Ash picked up Snivy into his arms and he walked into the emergency room and Audino closed it behind him.
Once he was in they saw Pikachu lying on a bed with a wire connected to his arm with a strap and wire taking readings from his electricity readings. Audino moved over to a desk where some equipment was and was checking it. Ash walked over to the bed and placed Snivy down at his side who immediately focused her attention on him. "Pikachu, please be okay".
Ash stood on the other side and looked to his partner worried and said "Today I thought we were going to have an enjoyable day, but really it has been one of my worst". Snivy looked to him "I feared all this time I was going to lose both of you when we were coming here, I still worry about him". Snivy nodded and looked back to him and took one of his hands and held her hand against his as she sat at his side.
They watched him for a moment both hoping for a miracle as the readings on the monitor did indeed show he had a weak heart pulse which could deteriorate at any moment. Ash shivered a moment and formed a tear running down his face. Snivy saw this and became even more concerned she spent all time watching him and stroked his head a little. But with no change she said "Pikachu, I know you can hear me."
She moved closer and whispered to him "I can tell that you sacrificed yourself just to save me, but that makes me feel terrible, you have always been good to our friends and they need you, I need you". Snivy thought again and they said "We may have not been together for a long time, but in the time we have I have felt a whole different Pokémon, one who is happy and actually had hope ever since I first became a trainers Pokémon".
Snivy looked directly to him and said "I need you Pikachu because, I love you". Snivy immediately brought her face forward and brought it against his and then entered into a kiss. Snivy held it against him for a moment allowing her to remember the feeling. Once she released she saw no change and a tear begun to show on her face and actually fall down her face.
Suddenly though she saw Pikachu's mouth open and breathed, she quickly focused as she saw Pikachu start to cough a little. She started to form a smile and Pikachu finished coughing and his eye lids started moving. Slowly his eye's opened and immediately he saw Snivy and said "Snivy". Snivy quickly hugged Pikachu and said "You're okay". Pikachu held the hug and said "I'm okay what about you". Snivy said as she hugged him "I'm fine Pikachu, I was scared that you weren't going to wake up".
Snivy released from the hug and looked him in the eye "Don't ever do that to me again". Pikachu nodded and said "I won't but make sure you don't scare me either". Snivy looked deeply at him "I felt lost Pikachu". She hugged him again and said "I love you Pikachu, Don't ever forget that". Hearing those words filled Pikachu with happiness and he said "I love you too". Snivy released him and then brought him into another kiss.
Pikachu relaxed and held it with her reaffirming their love after a very stressful day. Once they released Pikachu sat himself up a bit and continued to hold Snivy's hand and saw Ash who was looking away leaning forward at a desk. He shouted out "Pika, Pikachu" Ash quickly darted around to see Pikachu sitting up and quickly rushed over "Pikachu, you're okay". Ash quickly but gently brought both Pikachu and Snivy into a hug.
Both of the Pokémon returned it and reaffirmed the bonds they all had. Ash released them and said "Both of you scared me badly today; I hope we don't have to go through something like this again". The pair nodded as Ash went over to Audino who was watching the whole thing to tell her to get Nurse Joy. Pikachu and Snivy looked to each other and held each other, feeling the comfort of each other as they hoped towards tomorrow.
Wow over 6000 words, this has been my longest chapter in history since I started writing on fan fiction. Honestly thought it wouldn't have been this long. Anyway as someone pointed out before yes we finally have heard them say the magic 3 words to each other; I hope that makes that certain person happy.
I know Palpitoad and Stunfisk were caught but Ash and Cilan but I decided to keep them out as I can't be bothered with them. Anyway hoped you enjoyed this long chapter and see you next chapter.
