Raichu's Boot Camp

(A/N: a reminder, everything the pokemon say in the omake is translated except when said otherwise.)

Ash, Misty, and Kyle are sleeping at Vermillion City's Pokemon Center to rest up before going to Saffron in the morning. Ash wanted to go immediately, but since it was nighttime it was better for them to stay at a pokemon center. The Vermilion Pokemon Center is different from the other ones in Kanto, because Surge usually does severe damage to the pokemon of trainers who want his badge, but when he left to prepare to take down the Team Rocket one the S. S. Anne, business was slow. All three young trainers' pokemon were outside of their pokeballs, except Gyarados who is too big and wild, because there weren't as many people there. While they were sleeping two small yellow mice pokemon snuck inside and woke Pikachu up fro his slumber.

"Huh whose there?" Pikachu says in a drowsy tone.

"Hey Chi its that Pikachu who got beat up by that Snorlax." Says the Pichu with the ruffed up hair, Chu.

"You're right Chu, it is that same Pikachu." Says the Pichu with the combed hair, Chi.

"Oh no, you guys. Leave me alone." Pikachu said going back to sleep.

"WHAT!" the Pichu brothers both say in unison. Then both started rambling on about a bunch of stuff to get Pikachu up, but Pikachu kept trying to ignore them, which is failing. Pichu brothers were then silenced by to vines that hit their heads at the same time.

"HEY! Shut up, I'm trying to get some sleep!" An enraged Ivysaur says. Pidgeotto then pecks Ivysaur because he attacked the Pichu Brothers.

"That was rude, you should apologize to them now." Pidgeotto says.

"Why? They should be the ones apologizing to me!" Ivysaur says.

"Hey can you guys please keep it down? I don't think things will be good if Mankey wakes up." Marshtomp says.

"Well blame the big bird for it if that happens." Ivysaur says.

"What did you say!" Pidgeotto yells at Ivysaur.

"Hey Pikachu can you help me out here?" Marshtomp asks only to notice that Pikachu and the brothers are gone.

Marshtomp tells Pidgeotto and Ivysaur and decide to find them, but to do it they need two pokemon: Mankey and Quilava who are still asleep!

During all the noise, in a water tank, Misty's Starmie, Goldeen, and Horsea woke up to see what is going on.

"Why are you brutes making such a ruckus?" Goldeen says.

"We are going to look for Pikachu. You guys want to come?" Ivysaur asked.

"Ah, no thank you. I would probably be a burden." Horsea says timidly.

"As if a fish would come out of water." Goldeen says.

"I want to go! I want to go! I'll go! I'll go!" a very energetic Totodile says.

"Well alright Totodile, but can you help me wake Quilava up first." Marshtomp says.

"No problem. Bite!" Totodile yells as he bites one of Quilava's legs. The pain from the water-type's jaw causes the fire-type to release large gushes of fire that hit an unfortunate Mankey.

The fire clears and Mankey is both figural and literally burned.

"WHY YOU JERKS, WHICH ONE OF YOU DID THAT, AND WHICH ONE OF YOU WANTS TO BE BEATEN NEXT?!!!!" Mankey yelled.

Ash's team, minus Pikachu, and Totodile, who is dragging a drowsy Quilava, start running from the angry Mankey. Pidgeotto wonder if Starmie wanted to come, but Ivysaur told her to worry more about Pikachu and Mankey.

"Hey, Starmie do you want to go with them?" Horsea asks the purple starfish.

"Negative. If I wanted to accompany them, I would have departed from this container of water. Additionally, Totodile volunteered to lend them some avail, and he is more enough assistance." Starmie explained.

"What is with you Psychic-types and using such big words when you talk?" Goldeen says.

During their conversation, Kyle's team was awake the whole time.

"So what do you think those Pichu wanted with the Pikachu." Snover asks.

"Be nice Snover, and talk like you never met Pikachu." Ninetales says.

Kyle's Absol, Soul, got up and she is walking toward outside.

"Where are you going Soul?" Yukionna the Froslass asks.

"Out." Soul says. It was just one word but the senior pokemon of the team said that word with a tone that made none of the other three not to ask where.

"Ok why did you two drag me to the Vermillion Gym?" Pikachu asks.

"There's this super powerful Raichu here called Lt. Raichu by many electric-types." Chu says.

"Yeah and we want to join his training camp." Chi says.

"That still doesn't explain why I'm here."

"We saw your battle against Lt. Raichu, and you were so cool and strong and powerful and some other fourth word and." Chi started rambling on until Chu cuts him off and says, "Anyways we figured if you already no him you can help us get in."

"Might as well so you guys won't bother me." Pikachu says.

A few dozen of meters away from the gym, the others stopped running from Mankey. The monkey pokemon stopped because Totodile and Marshtomp were able to cool him down with Water Gun.

"You see, I told you that would calm him down." Totodile says.

"It didn't feel right to attack one of my friends, but Mankey is an exception." Marshtomp states, which angers Mankey more.

"Why am I here, yawn, I wanted to sleep more." Quilava says with a need for sleep.

"You are always sleeping friend. Besides doing stuff like this is more fun." Totodile says with enthusiasm.

"Why are you so friendly with me and Quilava anyways Totodile." Marshtomp asks.

"It's simple, you and I are water-type starters so we got a lot in common, and me and this sleepy volcano are starters from the same region so we have lots in common." Totodile explains while patting Quilava on the back.

"That makes since, and don't call a sleepy volcano." Quilava says with an angered tone on the 'don't call me a sleepy volcano part'. While the three were talking, Ivysaur, Pidgeotto, and Mankey were talking to each other.

"So anyways Mankey will you help us find Pikachu?" Pidgeotto asks.

"Why should I?" Mankey asks.

"If one of Ash's pokemon is gone he'll flip, I'm positive about that. So you are going to help us." Ivysaur explains then commands.

"As if I care about that mediocre trainer. Besides I am more interested in Hat-chan than him." Mankey explains.

"Hat-chan?" Both Ivysaur and Pidgeotto ask.

"That cute little hat that's on the idiots head."

"You got problems." Ivysaur says who is then gets in a quarrel with Mankey. While Pidgeotto tries to stop them all six pokemon turn their attention to something when they hear it say Vermillion Gym.

The one who said it is Soul, and she appears to them.

"Wait did you just say the location where Pikachu is?" Ivysaur asks.

"Yes." Soul says.

"How do you know where he is?" Pidgeotto asks followed by Soul replying, "I saw him dragged in that direction."

"Hey Soul if you knew how come you didn't tell us." Marshtomp asks.

Soul then replies, "I hate talking."

In the backyard of the Vermillion Gym, Pikachu and the Pichu brothers were there. The back is a large training ground design to dodge better, move faster, increase strength, and other helpful exercises. The unique thing about the training course is that it has mostly electrical machines. Along with the three electric mice, the rest of Lt. Surge's pokemon along with other electric-types were about to receive orders from Surge's Raichu.

"Alright you weaklings. Today you all will experience electric-type training that you will never experience again in your short, little lives." Raichu says. This speech causes Chu and Chi to say 'yay', and Pikachu to mumble an 'on no'.

Along with Pikachu and the two brothers, are also Sparcorb and Magnezone. Other pokemon there are an Ampharos, Jolteon, and Electivire. If all of these are also part of Surge's team, then Pikachu questioned what the gym match would be like if it was six against six. The thoughts scared him.

"Alright, tonight you will all run this obstacle course ten times under 5 minutes. Starting now!" Raichu commanded. When he finished his sentence, all the electric pokemon, counting a forced into it Pikachu, began running the course.

The rest of Ash's team, Totodile, and Soul, who wants to see what happens, got to the Vermillion Gym. When they did, they saw Pikachu tired, fried, and releasing static. Raichu explained that Pikachu was able to handle the course, but the Pichu brothers, who are currently complimenting Pikachu's skills, were so weak and inexperienced that Pikachu protected and carried them across the course. This caused Pikachu to be the way he is now. To protect Pikachu from being in any worse shape, Ash's team carried Pikachu back to the Pokemon Center so nothing bad would happen, and heal Pikachu.

A/N: School has been killing me lately, and thinking up stuff for an omake isn't my strong point. I'll update faster next time I promise.
