The light of the full moon had long diminished and light of the early morning of the uprising sun was beginning to light the world slowly. A new day was just beginning as the sound of rumbling immediately woke someone up with a start. Eyes looked around for the source of the low rumbling, brain processing that it may have been an earthquake. His heart rate was quickening, worried that the next rumble might destroy everything he was surrounded in, including the building he had slept in.
The rumble came again, yet nothing trembled or shook. In fact, now he began feeling something different within him. The rumbling grew a bit louder and was right on top of him. Or more like within him. He felt his stomach gurgling, making a low, growling rumbling sound. A thought popped into his head and registered as hunger.
He chuckled to himself, feeling silly for worrying over nothing. He slowly got up, stretching, yawning, and rubbing the sleep out of his eyes before turning to the open door and walked out, slowly making his way downstairs to find something to eat.
Though it was morning, the hallway was still fairly dark, yet easy to see as the morning light slowly began to light the room as the minutes ticked by. His stomach gurgled louder as he walked on down the stairs to the main floor. His desire for an appetite grew stronger every second.
He quickened his pace up a bit once on the main floor and began heading for the doors to lead to the back, cutting right behind the desk Nurse Joy normally stands behind to take pokemon to check up on them.
As he got began walking behind the desk, an odd, peculiar smell reached his nose. It was an odd smell, a smell that wasn't supposed to be there, yet was there anyway. Glancing down, he noticed something that wasn't supposed to be there.
Lying on the ground, he saw a knife. He raised an eyebrow, wondering why there was a knife on the ground. He bent lower to examine, the smell quickly growing stronger as he examined the blade more closely.
He noticed right away that half of the blade was darkened while the other half was easily seeable. The smell was overwhelming him with its intoxicating essence of something he knew, but couldn't place a paw on it.
Turning his attention away from the knife, he noticed a few dark splotches upon the floor, each with the same smell that was upon the knife. Something began to click in his head suddenly as the morning light lit the room a bit further. He looked back at the splotches which were turning a dark red as the light grew.
His eyes suddenly widened as he finally realized what he was examining. Looking quickly towards the blade, curiosity was replaced with concern and worry that all might not have gone according to plan.
Wanting to see if Pikachu was in his bed or not, he went and took one step forward when the lights suddenly flashed on, blinding him for a brief minute. Shaking his head to rid the temporary blindness, he opened his eyes in time to see Nurse Joy come walking out, a hand over her mouth yawning.
He had no time to move as she stopped yawning and opened her eyes, looking down upon him and spotting the mess he stood in. All he could do was stand there as Nurse Joy took in a deep breath and let out a high shriek.

The feel of the warm air gently blowing across his body brought him out of his sleep. The feel of something soft laid beneath him and for a moment, he thought he was back in the hospital bed, resting. His heart skipped a beat at first for waking in an unknown location he was not familiar with.
But, looking up at the sky above him and glancing at all the trees that towered above him, memories of last night began to play in his head, though it seemed like a dream. He finally admitted that he was in love with Buneary as she admitted it as well. Then everything seemed to slow down as they locked lips and eventually drifted away to sleep.
To him, it seemed like heaven. A smile crept up on his face as he replayed the memory. He slowly moved his head to the right, gazing upon the form of his lover as she slept. She seemed so relaxed and quite beautiful when she slept.
Her head laid upon his chest, which also had the huge scar running diagonally over it, yet he felt no pain. One paw was just below her head, resting on Pikachu's stomach while the other was keeping him close to her.
He smiled dreamily as he watched her sleep, breathing in and out. His right paw was lovingly keeping her close by his side while his left paw was free to do whatever it wished. He lifted that free paw suddenly and gently grasped the paw resting on his stomach.
He continued to smile and watch as she slept, wishing not to disturb her. She was just too beautiful to wake. And so the sun slowly rose as the two lied in the position they were in. If only Tracy was nearby, it would be a drawing for all who saw it to remember.
Finally, as the sun just made it out from the horizon, she began to stir and moaned Pikachu's name softly. Pikachu smiled widely as he moved his free paw from her paw to her face, stroking it gently and placing a kiss upon her forehead. That was enough to wake her.
Her eyes fluttered open as she rose it, immediately looking straight into his eyes, smiling happily.
("Good morning, love,") Pikachu said.
("Good morning to you too,") Buneary said as she leaned forward and kissed Pikachu on the lips for a few minutes before breaking.
("Slept well?") Pikachu asked.
("Like an angel,") Buneary replied.
("You look like one too,") Pikachu commented, causing a huge blush to spread across Buneary's face as she awed and looked away flirtatiously.
Pikachu couldn't help but chuckle at her reaction. Of course, while chuckling, he felt a bit of pain flare right across his stomach, causing him to groan in pain.
("Are you O.K.?") Buneary asked, concerned for her mate.
("Fine,") Pikachu grunted. ("Just hurts a bit.")
Buneary knew what he meant and quickly went to get off him, but Pikachu used his free arm to keep her where she was.
("Stay,") he said. ("It's not you. I just chuckled a little too hard.")
("Oh,") she said, smiling again. ("But then again, we really can't stay like this all day. Our trainers will probably get worried if they find you gone from the Center.")
("You're right,") Pikachu said. ("Can't have that happening now can we?")
("I think not,") Buneary said before gasping.
("What's wrong?") Pikachu asked.
("Last night when I was slicing my arm open, I left the knife on the ground to follow you. If anyone sees that, they'll all panic.")
("Well then we better make haste to get back,") Pikachu said, getting Buneary to help him up.
His body felt stiff as a board as he walked.
("Can you walk?") Buneary asked.
("Not very well,") Pikachu answered her. ("I feel stiff.")
("I'll help you then,") Buneary said as she grabbed him by the waste and slowly helped him walk towards the hill.
Just as they went to walk up, Buneary immediately rose both her ears all the way up, listening for something she thought she just heard.
("What's wrong, Buneary?") Pikachu asked. ("What do you hear?")
The answer came suddenly as a claw shot forth from the water and aimed straight for Pikachu. However, Buneary saw the claw as it shot out and immediately let go yelling, ("Pikachu. Watch out!")
She quickly let go of Pikachu and jumped in front of him, the claw capturing her instead.
("Buneary!") Pikachu cried out as he went to reach for her, but wasn't fast enough as the claw retracted back towards the water.
("Pikachu!") Buneary cried out as the water began rise up.
Pikachu stood motionless where he was, unable to do anything as the water grew to a certain size and began to pour off back into the lake. As it did, something metal was seen and soon, a large metal Tentacruel with a big red R on its forehead was revealed.
The top part of the Tentacruel's head opened up to reveal three beings inside. Pikachu gasped in shock at the three people he never thought he would see ever again.
"Hello, Pikachu," one of the beings said. "We meet again."
