Sorry if this kept ya in suspense too long, but ya can't rush Serious Fics.
If Pikachu doesn't survive, will anyone? Who can save him?
Started: 30/3/01
Where... where am I? What happened? I opened my eyes and looked around. My head was spinning. I felt light. I realised I was floating, floating through an infinite blackness.
My life passed before my eyes. Visions of my hatching, of taking my first breath. Me, as a Pichu. Me, as I evolved. My capture, and meeting Ash.
Ash... Ash!
Ash! I remembered now. Onix preparing to Tackle.
'I'm sorry it had to end this way,' he'd said...
Am I... dead?
I watched the rest of my life, right up until now. Then it went back to being completely black.
Suddenly, I saw a bright, shining light. I felt irresistably drawn to it. I turned involuntarily, and began to float towards it.
I managed to regain control of myself, and suddenly I realised: that bright light! I remembered hearing stories about so many people coming close to death. They all said that they'd seen the bright light, and been drawn to it. It was then I knew.
I was dying.

3rd Person POV
Far, far away from where Pikachu lay on the ground, hidden in a secluded spot among some mountains, was a clear, deep pool.
Not even a ripple disturbed the perfectly still water. It was far away from everything, in a place that no living thing could ever reach. No living thing, except for one.
Down at the bottom of the pool, a single pink egg floated, protected by a bubble of psychic energy.
The egg was about the size of a soccer ball. It had lain there, in the secret spot, for millions of years. But today, something was different.
Above the water, everything was ordinary. But the slightest ripple disturbed the surface of the pool.
The psychic bubble wavered, then disappeared completely. More ripples disturbed the water, as the egg began to shake, and tiny cracks appeared in the shell.
The slight breeze picked up, and became a strong wind as fragments of the shell flaked off and floated gently to the floor of the pool. The cracks widened, and a tiny pink Pokémon pushed until the egg split in half. It exploded into a flurry of pink fragments which slowly settled on the bottom of the pool. The little Pokémon uncurled it's cramped body, waved it's tail, and opened it's beautiful blue eyes.
"Mew," it squeaked.
***
Pikachu's POV
No! NO! I struggled to turn around, to float away from the light. I remembered that I was trying to save the human race from being enslaved.
And some help I'd been. It was my fault that I hadn't seen Squirtle until too late. I'd been distracted by my own thoughts. Now I was dying.
And what about Ash? And Brock? And Misty? And Keyara? And the rest of the world? All my old friends... Ash's mum, Professor Oak... They would all be caught now.
Suddenly, I felt an awful pang of sorrow. What about Chikorita?
Suddenly, I saw visions of her. Chikorita falling into my arms, her standing in front of the charging Pokémon, her lying on that rock... when she called me Pikachu. My last memory was of her fighting Squirtle to try and save me.
And now, because of me she would probably be killed by Onix, or one of the others. I had failed her, after all her bravery.
It seemed so long ago that we had been enemies. It was ironic that just as I was dying, I should realize just how much Chikorita had meant to me.
I loved her.
***
3rd Person POV
The baby Mew flew quickly up to the surface of the water. He burst out into the warm sunshine. The wind had stopped, and all was still again.
Mew are extremely special Pokémon. Humans have long considered them extinct, but in reality they are not. Mew are just extremely rare because their eggs take millions of years to hatch. No Mew had been around for a long time.
One of the amazing things about Mew is the fact that from the moment they are born, they are already almost as intelligent as an adult Mew. Because the eggs often outlive their parents, Mew are able to do most of their learning while still an embryo. When they hatch, they are able to fend for themselves, so they have evolved very little over the course of time.
This baby was no exception. He flew around the clearing a few times, enjoying the feeling of being outside the egg. He knew that a lot of his time would be spent in outer space, and his pink colour would fade as he got older.
But apart from all this, he also knew that he was the only Mew in the world. And something was wrong in the world that he lived in. It was up to him to fix it.
"Mew," he sqeaked again. His instincts told him where the trouble was. When he got closer he would know what was wrong.
The baby Mew soared up to the cloud level, and above. Then he turned and headed in the direction of the problem, hoping he hadn't been born too late.

Chikorita's POV
Pikachu!
I rushed over to where he lay. He didn't move.
"Leave me alone, Herakross!"
Ash managed to shove past Herakross, and ran to Pikachu's side, next to me.
"Pikachu..."
Herakross started to come after him, but Onix stopped him with a look.
I didn't care. All I cared about was that Pikachu was dying.
It seemed like years ago that we were enemies, not days. And after the way I'd treated him, he still saved my life. He coulda just left me on my own.
When it all started, everyone thought the reason I'd fought the craziness was 'coz I had a crush on Ash. And it was true, for a while anyway. But it took this to make me understand that at least since yesterday, it wasn't Ash I was fighting for.
It was Pikachu.
I couldn't let him die! It was 'coz he'd been trying to save me that Onix tried to kill him.
Pikachu! Pikachu, wake up! He was breathing, but only just.
***
Pikachu's POV
I couldn't fight the light any more. Besides, what was the point? I deserve it, I thought bitterly. I didn't help anyone, I only made it worse.
A tear rolled down my cheek, and disappeared into the blackness. All the time I was getting closer and closer to the light. Another tear disappeared into the black nothing. I kept thinking of Chikorita.
And then suddenly, the visions came back. But they were clearer than before. I could see Ash, and Chikorita. Pikachu! Pikachu, wake up! she was calling.
And it was then I knew that I had to fight it. For the sake of the human race. For my friends, the Pokémon fallen victim to a terrible curse, and for Chikorita.
The light was stronger than ever. It was sucking me in, like a giant vacuum. But I struggled, and managed to face the other way. But it was no use! It was too strong!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
***
Mew's POV
I flew as fast as I could, my knowledge growing all the time. But I was going to fast to understand everything properly. I slowed down, and closed my eyes.
My mother had started this, I realised. Her curse had been brought to life. I started to speed up again. I knew exactly what was wrong now.
I reached the spot not a moment too soon. I could see a human and a Chikorita gathered around a Pikachu who was lying very still on the ground. Behind them were all the Pokémon who had fallen victim to the curse. They were all still. They seemed to be waiting for a command from their leader, an Onix.
Then I saw it. The Onix had the human and the Chikorita right where he wanted them. He was about to kill them!
I rushed down to help, hoping I wouldn't be too late.
***
Chikorita's POV
My heart was beating faster than a Rapidash could run. Pikachu was breathing like every breath was his last.
"Pikachu!" cried Ash. "Just hang in there, you can make it!"
I closed my eyes. I felt so hopeless.
I'm sorry, Pikachu... I leaned over and kissed him on his little red cheek.
"ROOOOOOOOOAAAR!"
"Huh?!" / Huh?!
Too late Ash and I spun around to see Onix using Tackle--on us!
I closed my eyes... but nothing happened. "Mew!"
I opened them quickly, to see Onix being held in place by the psychic energy of a Mew. The rest of the Pokémon were also being held.
I could see that the Mew was only a baby. He wouldn't be able to last long.
Quick... he said, straining to keep his energy focused. Get the GS Ball...
Ash spent a few seconds gaping, but his hand automatically shot to his belt. He grabbed the GS Ball.
You must... destroy it!
"Quick Chikorita, use Razor Leaf!" cried Ash.
I tried as hard as I could, but it was no good. That damn Ball was strong!
I can't break it! I cried.
"Meeeeeeew!"
The baby Mew couldn't hold on any longer. The attack stopped and Onix knocked Mew flying. Then he turned to us.
Now who will protect you? he asked, and then launched another Tackle.
"ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAR!"
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" / NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
"Piiikaaa... CHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!"
Pikachu's POV
The light was right in my face. Nooooo... Suddenly, it disappeared. I looked around. I was alive! And I knew what I had to do.
I Thundershocked the GS Ball until it exploded. Pieces flew everywhere. They bounced off the stunned Onix, who stopped in mid-Tackle and looked around dazedly.
"PIKACHU!" cried Ash.
Ash?
He picked me up and hugged me. I hugged him back. "You're alive!"
Pikachu! You're okay!
Chikorita?
Ash put me down. Chikorita jumped into my arms and hugged me. I returned the hug.
The Pokémon all seemed dazed. Onix spoke up.
Pikachu... I can't believe I tried to kill you. And all I can do is say I'm sorry.
It's alright Onix. It wasn't your fault. I told him.
"The important thing is, he's alive," said Ash. "And so's everyone else."
All my friends were in shock. Misty, Brock and Keyara climbed out of the tree and the Mew got up.
But I don't understand. Who saved my life? Was it you, Mew? I asked.
No, I was fighting the whole time.
Then it must have been... I closed my eyes, and suddenly the memories came flooding in. I remembered what happened just before I woke up, after Chikorita had stopped talking...
Chikorita gave Pikachu the kiss of life, said Mew.
I looked at her. She dropped her eyes and blushed. I love you, Pikachu, she said.
At that moment everything was perfect. I stepped forward and hugged her. I love you too, Chikorita,
Under our feet crunched all that was left of the GS Ball.
THE END
YAAAAAAAAAHOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FINISHED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's 10:23 pm. Time for bed... Damn! I'm not tired, I wanna go watch The Lion King II: Simba's Pride. Well anywayz, PLEASE review!!!
