Chapter 7: Ice Cream Showdown
Another hard day of battling the Team Sprocket organization was over. To celebrate, I stopped at the Dairy King for some ice cream on my way home. It was very hot outside so the DK was busy. As I was making my way through the crowd, I bumped into a small Pikachu who was enjoying an Banana Split. It flipped through the air and landed on his head. The Pikachu looked up at me. "PI!" A few people looked over at it. "KA!!" Everyone in the restaurant was looking now. "CHU!!!" The whole DK exploded with screams as it quickly emptied. Only Pikachu and myself were left. "Uh oh, this is going to get nasty!" I reached down and pulled out a Pokeball. "Go Blastoise!" With a great roar, my star Pokemon came out. He looked around at where he was and saw the Ice Cream machines. "Blastoise! Blastoise!" "No Blastoise, now is not the time. Maybe after the battle." "PI-KA-CHU!" It was getting angrier. "Tackle, Blastoise!" Blastoise bent over and ran as fast as he could at the small Pokemon. He hit with so much force the Pikachu flew out the window. "Ouch! I hope you didn't kill him!" We both ran outside to where the Pikachu lay. It was very still, hardly breathing at all. "Blastoise?" He looked down at his target. "Check it out! See if it's going to live." Blastoise cautiously walked closer. He bent down and poked the Pikachu. Nothing, it didn't even move. "Blastoise?" He looked up at me as if I could do something. "PIKACHUUUUUUU!" It was a trick. The Pikachu used a very powerful Thunder attack and my Blastoise fell over. "Return, Blastoise!" He went back into his Pokeball. "Who should I send out next?" The Pikachu started to walk towards me. "PIKA!" "Ahh! Go Ditto!" Ditto flopped out of her Pokeball and squirmed next to Pikachu. "Ditto! Transform!" Ditto started flashing and morphed but instead of a Pikachu, it changed into a giant banana! "No! Not into a banana! Transform into a Pikachu!" "Ditto, Ditto!" It flashed again and morphed into an exact copy of the Pikachu. "That's better! Now, use a Thundershock!" Sparks started coming out of Pika-Ditto's cheeks as she warmed up for the attack. The real Pikachu tried to dodge but was way too slow. The attack hit and momentarily stunned it. When the Pikachu came out of his paralysis he did another Thundershock. It connected with Ditto and knocked her out. "Wow, return Ditto!" The Pikachu started walking towards me again. Not wanting to get hurt, I ran inside the Dairy King. The Pikachu followed suit and ran after me. "Pi!" I ducked for cover under the Ice Cream machines. "KA!" It walked closer. Looking around for some way to defend myself, I got an idea. "CHU!" Now it was right next to me. "Take that!" I threw a Sundae at it and stood up. The Ice Cream machine was quietly humming. Many hoses connected each of the ice cream flavors to a giant faucet. I turned the machine on and disconnected the Chocolate hose. Ice Cream started spraying out of it. "Pika?" I suddenly had a surge of confidence. With the hose in one hand, I charged right at the little critter. When I got close enough, I sprayed him until he was covered from head to toe with Ice Cream. "Go Sandslash!" My other star Pokemon came out and started licking some ice cream off the Pikachu. "Now's not the time, Sandslash! What is with you guys today? Stop licking and Slash the little guy!" Sandslash didn't hesitate. He followed my orders and Slashed the poor little Pikachu. It started walking dizzily around. "Finish it off with Fury Swipes!" Sandslash nodded and completed the job. The Pikachu finally fell to the ground and this time it wasn't an act. "GO POKEBALL!" It hit and the Pikachu flew inside. The Pokeball shook furiously but after a few seconds it stopped! "Yes! I HAVE A PIKACHU!"
