WHEREVER YOU GO
Part 4 - Be There With You
By PinkScyther

DISCLAIMER: Boohoo, another one. I don't own the song.

Finally, the final part in all it's finality... is that even a word? Anywayz, Will Shocker go? Or will he stay? Place your bets!
Started: 1/6/01

Shocker!
Thunder stopped dead. What-- began Shocker, but Thunder silenced him.
Listen!
Shocker listened. The two Pokémon stood there, ears pricked. Faintly, the sound filtered through the trees. The sound of a herd of Pikachu.
It's them!
Thunder began to run. Shocker followed a few steps behind. A smile crept across Thunder's face. She laughed, and ran faster.
Wait up! called Shocker. With a burst of speed he managed to pull even.
As the crashed through the undergrowth, the sound grew louder and louder. Thunder and Shocker burst through the undergrowth and into the clearing. Immediately every Pokémon there looked up.
THUNDER! cried the herd. Thunder was swamped by Pikachu and Pichu. They all talked at once.
We're so glad you're okay! cried her mother, hugging her.
What happened?
How did you get out of the fire?
Finally they backed off a little. Cutie came up to Thunder. Hi Thunder! he said, hugging her. You're alright! He let go. Hi Shocker! You're alright too!
Immediately they Pokémon started talking again. They wanted to know what happened, and about Shocker.
All I remember is when the fire started, this huge branch fell on me. I saw Shocker come back for me, then I blacked out. I woke up and he'd carried me halfway across the forest. Then we got stuck in this clearin', and the Squirtle Squad came 'n saved us from being flattened by another branch, Thunder turned to Shocker. Shocker saved my life!
All eyes turned to him. He fidgeted, a little embarassed. Well, I couldn't just leave her! I did what anyone would do! I'm no hero! he protested.
Thunder smiled and looked at him. Well, you're my hero, she said, and kissed him. The entire clearing erupted into wild cheering. For there were more than just the Pikachu herd in the clearing. The herd had kindly let any Pokémon left without a home stay in their clearing.
Thunder and Shocker pulled apart, Shocker looking even more embarassed. Thunder just smiled.
It is hard to believe, but the strength of their love sparked off a miracle. As they watched, the entire forest regrew in front of their eyes. The Pokémon looked on in amazement. Thunder and Shocker just smiled.
***
Later that night, surrounded by the young, healthy new growth, all the herd slept under the open, starry sky. Well, all but two.
Shocker and Thunder were both wide awake.
Not being able to sleep, Shocker had wandered away from the herd. He stood, leaning with one paw on a regenerated tree, deep in thought. Finally, one thing was clear to him. It was a hard choice, but he had decided to stay with Thunder, as part of the herd.
On the opposite side of the clearing, Thunder had also been unable to sleep and was awake, staring at the stars. It was clear to her now as well. She looked at the sleeping herd. She loved them, but Thunder just didn't feel right staying with them. It was as if something were missing. Thunder had always had very good instincts, and now they told her that the right place for her was not with the herd. She had decided to join Shocker on his mysterious quest.

Shocker wandered around the clearing. Lately he had been recalling a lot of human songs. He understood them properly now, for the first time.
I never cared for simple words of tenderness
I never thought my life could be as sweet as this
But now I know
I want to spend it all with you baby

Thunder was also wandering, in the opposite direction.
I drive my car and think about you constantly
I lie awake and I want to feel you next to me

Thunder and Shocker unconsciously sang together.
What can I do?
My life's only complete with you baby
And it feels so right
You are the one I treasure
A part of me forever

And I'll be there with you
Whatever you do
With all of my heart I promise you
I'll be there with you
Just know that it's true
With all of my heart I'm there for you

Wherever you go
I'll be there
Whatever we're up against
Just know that I'll be there with you
You're like the sun that brightens up the darkest skies
The only one I'm seeing when I close my eyes
Oh can't you see
You'll never be alone again baby
And don't you know
You are the one I treasure
(You are the one I treasure)
A part of me forever

And I'll be there with you
Whatever you do
With all of my heart I promise you
And I'll be there with you
Just know that it's true
With all of my heart I'm there for you

Wherever you go
I'll be there
Whatever we're up against
Just know that I'll be there with you baby
You're like the sunrise I've waited to see
A beautiful moment always with me
I've waited a lifetime only to be
Be with you

And I'll be there with you
Whatever you do
With all of my heart I promise you
I'll be there with you
Just know that it's true
With all of my heart I'm there for you

I'll be there with you
Whatever you do
With all of my heart I promise you
I'll be there with you
Just know that it's true
With all of my heart I'm there for you

Just know that I'll be there
Be there with you

Thunder and Shocker bumped into each other.
Thunder?
Shocker! What are you doing up?
Shocker looked down at the ground. Well, I... He looked back up. I've decided to stay here, with you,
Thunder stared deeply into Shocker's eyes. No Shocker, you don't have to do that, she said softly. You have to get on with your quest. I'll come with you,
Shocker looked at the herd. He looked back at Thunder. Won't they miss you?
Thunder looked at them. They'll understand, she told Shocker. The two Pokémon smiled, and ran off into the forest.

Wherever you go
That's where I wanna be
Wanna go wherever you lead
You are my heart and soul
I will always follow
Wherever you go
Wherever you go

Life before you
Was full of near misses
Uncertain nights
And half hearted kisses
Isn't it unbelievable
Almost inconceivable
But here you are
Like a waking dream
With love beyond imagining

Wherever you go
That's where I wanna be
Wanna go wherever you lead
You are my heart and soul
I will always follow
Wherever you go
Wherever you go

You look in my eyes
And I can see heaven
You hold me close
And it feels like forever
Isn't it unbelievable
Baby it's a miracle
'Cause here you are
Like an open door
To everything I've waited for

Wherever you go
That's where I wanna be
Wanna go wherever you lead
You are my heart and soul
I will always follow

Wherever you go
That's where I wanna be
Wanna go wherever you lead
You are my heart and soul
I will always follow

No matter how far
Or whatever winding road you choose
Wherever you are
I wanna be there
I wanna be there

Wherever you go
That's where I wanna be
Wanna go wherever you lead
You are my heart and soul
I will always follow

Wherever you go
That's where I wanna be
Wanna go wherever you lead
You are my heart and soul
I will always follow

Wherever you go
That's where I wanna be
Wanna go wherever you lead
You are my heart and soul
I will always follow

Wherever you go
That's where I wanna be
Wanna go wherever you lead
You are my heart and soul
I will always follow
Wherever you go
Wherever you go
