Heyo guys! Sorry for the wait, i've been kinda busy! Hope you like this one, and please review!(;
The sun beat harshly down on the sandy earth below, radiating and scorching the parched grass. It was a blazing hot summer day, the kind that made your skin boil and the plants wither and curl. Misty, Brock, and Ash were stumbling along the road groaning and panting from the summer heat. All of their faces were bright red with sunburn, eyes drooped in dehydration. Not a single pokemon was in sight, and neither was a town.
Pikachu opened his eyes, his furry body damp with sweat from the heat. He couldn't stand it, it was so sooo hot. Surrounded with a dark blue color, Pikachu was reminded that he was currently curled up inside Ash's jacket, whom had buttoned it up and placed him in there to protect him from the sun. He glanced upward worriedly for the umpteenth time, staring up at the pained and exhausted face of his trainer. But even through the blistering heat, Ash still had his hat off and was still fanning downwards into his shirt trying to cool his Pikachu off.
"Pika-Pi..." Pikachu cooed worriedly, resting his chin on Ash's stomach as he gazed upwards.
Ash's face shifted down, and he smiled, "Pikachu..." he murmured, "You...Okay?" his face suddenly fell in concern, "You're not...too hot down there are you buddy?"
"Chuu~.." Pikachu cooed again, feeling even more concerned for his trainer as he saw the glazed and tired look in his eyes.
"Don't worry...I'm fine Pikachu." he panted, his smile remaining strong as he stared downwards at the little pokemon hiding in his jacket, "As long as you're safe."
Pikachu searched his trainer's gaze for a moment, but as Ash held the same smile, he pressed his cheek gratefully against his stomach before curling up again.
...
"Its..s-s-so c-cold..." Misty muttered, her teeth chattering noisily.
Along their travels, Brock, Misty, and Ash had to cross through a mountain pass. Unfortunately for them, a snowstorm had whipped up and drove them to seek shelter in the mountains. They were currently hiding out in a rocky cave along the cliffside, which was covered in snow and ice blown inside. All of their pokemon had gone out to search for wood to make a fire, but warned not to venture far from the cave and into the storm.
All three pokemon trainers were huddled together with blankets, shivering and trembling from the cold. They waited anxiously for their pokemon to return, hoping they were all alright and were able to find wood.
"I s-sure h-..hope they're all o-ok.." Brock mumbled.
Ash remained silent, too cold to even speak.
Sure enough, one by one the pokemon came spilling through the cave entrance, shivering but with little twigs clenched in their paws or teeth.
"Y-You did it!" Misty breathed in relief, scrambling upwards along with the others to hurry and make a fire.
Luckily they were able to put together a fire, but it was so small and puny that it barely gave them enough heat. After fumbling with it and trying to make it bigger, they decided it was best to give up and was time to try and sleep or wait out the storm.
Pikachu was currently crouched at Ash's side, gazing at him in deep concern. Since Pikachu had some fur to cover him, he wasn't as cold as the humans were, who had nothing but their short-sleeved clothes and a thin sleeping bag for warmth. Ash seemed the coldest of them all, clutching his blanket around himself from where he lay in his sleeping bag, trembling profusely and groaning every now and then.
"Pika-Pi?..." Pikachu mewled worriedly, pressing his nose to Ash's cheek.
"P-Pikachu..." Ash whimpered, his eyes cracking open, "I-I'm...s-so..cold-d..."
Pikachu wasted no time. In a moment he dove underneath Ash's sleeping back and wriggled his way under the blanket. He crawled upwards until he was against Ash's chest, curling into him and pressing his body against his.
"P-Pikachu..." Ash cried gratefully, wrapping his arms tightly around the little pokemon and clutching him to his chest. As minutes passed, Pikachu could feel Ash's shivering subsiding as their shared body heat helped warm him a little. He closed his little brown eyes in contentment, snuggling into his chest more to add more warmth.
The dark, cold cave seemed to fade away as both pokemon and trainer were finally able to sleep, curled together under the sleeping bag.
