HARD CHOICES HAVE TO BE MADE
Part 2
By PinkScyther
DISCLAIMER: I don't own Pokémon, any more than I own more than one brain cell. I own Sparkycheeks' human form, and all the nicknames and that sorta thing. I also don't own the song, Forever As One, The Vengaboys wrote it and all that.
The long-awaited part two. Hey, I had to get used to this new chapterin' thingy! 'Kay, so I hadn't written it anywayz. So sue me. Anywayz, in this amazing, dramatic, sad... well it's not that good. But anywayz, Sparkycheeks' mum comes along to wreck things, true to her parental instincts, basically. More action next part. And if you bother to read it, you'll learn a very interesting thing that has nothing to do with the fic.
The next morning, all the Pikachu were much calmer. Thunder noticed that Sparkycheeks' mum seemed a little withdrawn. Not surprised, Thunder thought. I wouldn't exactly be screaming for joy if my daughter had gone through all that, so far away from home. I'd be looking for her...
Suddenly it hit her. "Rai rai... rai rai rai rai rai? Rai rai rai rai rai!" Oh no... why didn't I think of it before? Of course she's gonna go looking!
This won't be good, thought Thunder. Sparkycheeks' mother, who everyone called 'Chu' because it was easy to say, whichwas the opposite of her personality, kept glancing toward the forest, and was edging further and further away from the herd.
Then, while she thought no-one was looking, Chu ran off into the forest. Only Thunder and Cutie noticed her leave. Thunder started running after her.
"Pika! Pichu!" Thunder! Wait up!
Cutie came racing over to join Thunder. "Pika kachu." I'm coming too.
The two Pokémon raced after her. "Rai rai rai rai!" We have to stop her! "Rai rai rai rai rai rai!" It's not the right thing for Sparkycheeks!
"Pi! Pika!" Mummy! Come back!
Chu stopped in her tracks and spun around. "Pikachu." I have to.
Tears came into her deep brown eyes. "Pi pikachu pika!" She's been away so long! "Pi pikachu pi chu... Pi pichu pika!" I haven't seen her for so long... I have to be with her!
Thunder and Cutie stopped too. It's no good. What am I supposed to do? thought Thunder. It was my responsibility to look after Sparkycheeks, to stop her carrying out her crazy plan. And now, look at all the hurt I've caused, just because I didn't manage to stop her. Look at what I've put Aunt Chu through. It's all my fault! Thunder hung her head, to hide the tears from Chu.
"Pika..." Thunder...
Chu gently wiped away Thunder's tears, realising that she thought she was responsible for Sparkycheeks. Thunder looked up.
"Pika." Thunder. "Pikachu pichu pika chu. Chu pika pikachu. Pichu pika chu pika pi." None of this was your fault. It wasn't even Sparkycheeks' fault. Nobody could have stopped this from happening.
Thunder wiped away her tears.
"Pi," And,
Chu continued,
"pichu pi pikachu pi pika pi." nobody's going to stop me going to Sparkycheeks either.
Thunder realised it was true. She just hoped that nobody else would be hurt.

Time passed. Sparkycheeks and Sparker were enjoying themselves in the company of their friends. Nobody, not even himself, knew Brock's true feelings towards Sparkycheeks. But none of them knew at all that they would find out very soon.
Chu, Thunder and Cutie had finally located them. It was purely accidental really, but the fact remains that they did.
It was evening. They were all traveling on very rocky terrain, not real mountains but not just hills either. So treading carefully to avoid hurting themselves, the three Pokémon made their way down a small slope, down to Ash, Sparker, Misty, Brock and Sparkycheeks' campsite.
"Pi?" Huh?
Sparker pricked up his ears at the sound of rolling pebbles, and all five turned to see Thunder and Cutie climb over a boulder.
"Pika! Pika!" Cutie! Thunder!
Both Pikachu ran over to greet them. They were talking excitedly when suddenly Chu appeared on top of the same boulder.
"PI!" MUM!
Sparkycheeks and Sparker ran up to their mother and she hugged them tightly. All three had tears of joy in their eyes.
Chu was amazed to see how much they'd changed, just as Sparkycheeks had been when she saw Sparker again.
Later that evening, Sparkycheeks sat talking with Chu.
Chu looked at her daughter gently. "Pika pi, pi pikachu pika pi chu! Pikachu pichu pika chu!" I'm your mother, yet I haven't seen you for months! You've grown up without me there to see it.
"Pikachu... pi pika pichu pika." Sparkycheeks... I want you to come home with me.
Sparkycheeks looked away, thinking hard. Her emotions were so strong, but so mixed! She was confused. Should she leave?
Sparkycheeks looked at Chu. She's my mum. She raised me, for as long as I was with her, she thought. It's the right thing to do.
"Pika." Alright. "Pi pikachu." I'll tell everyone.
Sparkycheeks walked over to the fire, where Ash, Sparker, Misty, Brock, Cutie and Thunder sat. "Pi... Pikachu pi. Pika pi chu." Guys... I'm going home. I belong there.
They all sat in silence. They knew it was the best thing to do. Well, all but two thought so.
You're making a mistake, Sparkycheeks, thought Thunder. I just know it.
Brock stayed expressionless, but he slowly got up and walked away from the fire.
I'm sorry, thought Sparkycheeks.
Brock wandered a little way away, and sat on a rock looking over the edge of a small cliff. He stared up at the stars, finally able to sort out his emotions.
It was confusing, but whether she was a Pikachu or a person, Brock still loved Sparkycheeks.
It wasn't the same as when he saw a pretty girl. This love was real. It's not fair, he thought. As he looked up at the moon, a song that he'd heard on the radio came into he head, and he couldn't help singing it out loud.
I wish I could turn back time
I wish I'd never have to see that look in your eyes
You really broke this heart of mine
Now it's time to realise it's forever goodbye
So here I am
All alone
Don't understand, where did we go wrong?
I can't stop cryin'
Can't take the pain
Knowing you won't ever be back again
And it cuts like a knife
I'm going insane
Wishing you would show me love
Once again
I'm losing my mind
But I have to carry on
We were meant to be together
Forever as one
So this is where the story ends
Gonna take some time to dry the tears in my eyes
You told me we could still be friends
Now I know your promises were nothin' but lies
Still I am
All alone
Don't understand, where did we go wrong?
I can't stop cryin'
Can't take the pain
Knowing you won't ever be back again
And it cuts like a knife
I'm going insane
Wishing you would show me love
Once again
I'm losing my mind
But I have to carry on
We were meant to be together
Forever as one
(Cut's like a knife
I'm going insane
Wishing you'd show me
Love once again
Losin' my mind but I have to carry on)
We were meant to be together
Forever as one
Meant to be together
Forever as one
He looked back down at the ground. Suddenly, he heard a rumbling sound behing him, and everyone yelling. He turned to see Chu trying desperately to outrun a giant boulder that was heading straight towards him...
TO BE CONTINUED...
Cliffhanger! Yay! Phew, finished just before the sugar supply ran out. Next part will be the last.
And now the interesting piece of info that has nothing to do with this fic: PIKACHU13 LOVES RITCHIE!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!
She'll deny it, sure, but it's true. I know from the way she reacted when I first said that to her, and from something she did today. And now I'd better go hide on the other side of the universe 'coz she'll be after me.
