This chapter shows the randomness that can happen when Ash's Pokemon are traveling alone. I don't own Pokemon. Nuff said.
Read, Review, and Enjoy!
Diglet's Cave, Kanto Region (12 hours after the Pewter City Hospital journey began)...
Pikachu was looking outside the cave he and his fellow Pokemon were sleeping in. Where, one may ask? They were at Diglet's Cave. He was the one producing light since Pignite would most likely kill everyone in the cave if he used any of his abilities to make light. Sure, Bayleef and Snivy could always try inhaling the smoke and try converting the nauseous gasses into oxygen since they are plant-types, but it isn't possible. Bayleef accidentally burned herself before, with her being stoned for a little bit. Snivy tried once, but that led to her suffering from asphyxiation for a few hours.
He woke up Squirtle, who rubbed his eyes and shook his head just to stay awake.
"(My turn already)?"
"(Yeah). (It was between you or Oshawott)." Pikachu whispered.
"(Let me guess, he's still scared of the rain)?"
"(Nope). (He's spent after watering that berry bush from earlier)."
"(Dang). (Well, better make this night count)! (We still gotta talk about you and Snivy later when we get the chance)."
"(If you keep saying that, I am still gonna say no)." Squirtle got up and started walking off while Pikachu was talking. "(Squirtle)! (Get back here)!"
All Squirtle did was look at his friend with a mischievous shrug while walking backward. "(Sorry bud)! (I'm onto yooouuuu)..." that didn't make sense.
Pikachu facepalmed before checking on everyone.
Pignite was dreaming of food.
Oshawott was dreaming about stealing Pignite's food.
Bayleef was... Ugh. Bayleef was deepthroating a foot-long stalagmite, thinking about Ash. Correct length and width too!
Snivy was lying on her side, rolling a little from whatever dream she was having. Pikachu continued to look at her and gave a sad smile. Hearing a sniffle, he looked around to see where the sound came from. He looked down and noticed that it was just Snivy. She was crying a little.
"...(N- no)! *sniff* (D- don't l- leave me, Watts)! (Please)..." he was going to roll his eyes at that but... He actually felt bad for thinking that way. Especially since the next part struck a little too close to home. "(Is it because I can't remember anything)?! *sniff* (Is it because of my brain damage)?!"
Can't remember anything...
Brain damage...
'Ooh... His Pikachu and his Snivy were both struck by lightning!' his head rang, mimicking the TV in Ash's room this morning.
A single lightning strike gave her brain damage and amnesia after they became the champions of Unova. After that lightning strike, Pikachu felt terrible for falling for her, especially with the fact that their first kiss was what caused it in the first place. He was worried that she would get bullied over her injury and be told to dump her for someone else. Only he knows what happened, and he does not know how he can fix it.
Pikachu dumped her without her knowing.
He injured the calm and understanding Snivy he fell in love with and rendered her as a loud, rambunctious, injury-prone, mentally disabled Snivy- Pikachu stopped thinking for a moment and- *SLAP!* slapped himself for insulting her.
Why insult someone you are clearly guilty of putting into harm's way? Why? Everyone else gave up wondering about Snivy's change in personality after they won at Kalos, but Pikachu can't. The two were the smart4$$es of Ash's Pokemon! They got closer together after taking care of Ash during his coma! They knew each other's secrets that not even Pikachu would tell Ash, Bulbasaur, Charizard, or Squirtle about them!
Just... Why?
"(Is there something I need to change just so I can be perfect for you)?" he heard Snivy whisper unconsciously.
Nobody's perfect. Not at all. He still regrets trying to stay away from her.
He laid down beside Snivy, rubbing the back of her head gently. "(Don't worry Tsu, I still love ya). (I'm not going to leave you)..." This helped her calm down and Pikachu to feel a little better. He went into a dreamless sleep, waiting for daylight to arrive...
The next day...
"(Pikachu)! (Snivy)! (We gotta get moving)!" a voice rang out.
Pikachu opened his eyes and looked around.
A bitter Oshawott was pulling the bag the electric-rat carried yesterday. Bayleef ditched the bag so she can drink water and have some breakfast
Pignite was outside, taking a bath.
Snivy was still sleeping, Vine Whips wrapped around his abdomen and hugging him tightly.
Question is... Where is Squirtle?
"(HEY LOVE-PIDGEYS)! (WAKE THE UP)!" Pikachu looked past Snivy's head and saw Squirtle.
The light-blue turtle sat on a sleeping Onix, waiting for them to wake up. The Onix opened his left eye and muttered quietly to Squirtle.
"(Do you f4(king mind)?" he asked in a calm, yet irritated tone.
"(Sorry)!" mareepishly shrugging, Squirtle prepared to fire a powerful Water Gun at them with an evil glint in his eyes.
Pikachu began panicking as he began trying to wake up Snivy. "(Tsu)! (Wake up)! (Squirtle might blast water at us if we aren't up)!"
"(Mmm)... (A few more minutes Watts)..." Snivy moaned in content. Her Vine Whips shifted Pikachu so close, he was spooning the small grass-snake.
Squirtle gave the two an amused stare as he prepped himself once more into blasting the two out of the cave-like a roid-raging Blastoise. He is bored. He has to wake them up. He will do it. And he will not regret it.
Snivy opened her left eye to Pikachu after realizing something. "(Wait)... (Who's gonna blast water at us)?"
"SQUIR... TLE!"
All Pikachu and Snivy could do was look in fear, reminiscent of Joseph Joestar. "PIII KAA (OH NO)!/SNIVY VY (HOLY S#!T)!"
Outside...
Pignite was having his a bath at a nearby artificial pond when- *BLUBLUBLUB!* he farted in the water. It was disgusting enough to garner a lot of Pokemon's attention. Suddenly, many water-type Pokemon that resided in the lake began jumping out of the water for fresh air.
"(AHHHHH)!"
"(GOOD GOURD)! (IT SMELLS LIKE BOILING 4$$)!"
"(ARCEUS TAKE ME OUT OF MY MISERY)!"
"(I HATE BEING A WATER-TYPE)!"
"(IT BURNS)!"
Once it all died down, Pignite began giggling to himself as though he was Charizard after tearing off one of Bayleef's neck leaves and hitting it like a blunt. It was hilarious and cruel at the same time.
Speaking of Bayleef, the saurian-grass-type was drinking from the pond when that happened. When she tasted something warm and muddy, she smelled the water. It smelled like 4$$ ham and she immediately began spitting it out in sheer terror and disgust. She could feel herself heaving. She heard screams, but not from the local Pokemon Pignite just tormented.
"*FWOOSSSSHHHH!* -KAAAAA (AHHHHH)!/ -VYYYYY (AHHHHH)!" Pikachu and Snivy screamed as they were blown out of the cave by Squirtle, who used his Water Gun ability as an OP water cannon. They landed right next to Bayleef, drenched to the bone.
[It's not very effective...]
"*cough!* (We should find everyone now). *cough!*" Pikachu was dizzy from the impact, with Snivy rubbing the sides of her head to quell the pain.
"(Yeah)... (Hey, Bayleef)." Snivy called out to the other grass-type in their party.
Bayleef was licking the bark of a fallen tree next to her, trying to get rid of the awful taste from the lake.
"*rub* (Hi Pikathoo). *rub* (Hi Emeemah Smek). *rub*... Bay... (Whatever you do, don't drink from this pond)."
They took a whiff of the air and cringed. Bayleef shuddered. It was putrid and warm. It has to be the work of a fire-type.
With Pignite, the orange pig was laughing to himself as he waded back to shore. It was priceless to see what happened. Priceless! Who knew there were so many water-types living at an artificial pond big enough to be a water reservoir! Wait- WATER RESERVOIR?!
"(Oh no)..." He began panicking after he realized what he just did.
Pignite farted in Viridian City's water reservoir. He bathed and farted into a source of water meant for a city full of Humans and Pokemon. He possibly poisoned an entire city! Does this make him a terrorist? A mass murderer?!
What did Bulbasaur say about him?
Pignite's imagination...
A chibi Bulbasaur gave an upright pillar man Tepig a disgusted scowl.
"Bulbasaur?"
"Tep... Pig?"
"Bul saur basaur bulb bulb basuar bulbasasasaur bul ba!"
Back to reality.
Right... He said that his farts might end up killing off an entire nation.
"Pig pignite!" Pignite stretched his ears and slammed his face into a tree in despair. He should have checked the water source before going into the pond.
As he rested his face against it, Oshawott came in out of concern.
"(Hey Pignite)."
"(Hey Oshawott)..."
"(Why are you slamming your face against a tree)?" Pignite pulled his face off the hard bark and gave him a look that said "Why do you even want to know?".
"(I embarrassed myself in public). (Does it make me a terrorist if I fart in a city's reservoir)?"
Oshawott shrugged as he dragged the duffel bag over and sat on it. "(No clue). (I heard Squirtle blast Pikachu and Snivy out of the cave a few minutes ago)."
"(Huh). (Didn't you ask him to be the one to wake them up)?"
"(Yep)." the two snickered.
Pignite gave a long sigh after that to catch his breath. "(Ah)... (Anyways, I think I farted in the Viridian City reservoir)."
Oshawott snickered once more, also igniting a roar of laughter between the two. "(You are a nasty bastard)!"
Up above, a black hot air balloon floated above the forest...
Watts Chapter 2 End...
As I said, this chapter's random, but builds further into the story on Pikachu's side.
