Disclaimer: The song "The Time Has Come" is copyrighted to 4Kids Entertainment(last time I checked) and Pokemon is not owned by me...If I did own Pokemon, I wouldn't be sitting here writing sappy songfics, would I(actually, I would)?
Author's Note: Ack!!! What's with me and these sappy stories these days!?! I spent a half-hour of my time to write a songfic where Pikachu dies!!!...Hmm...then again, it can't be all that bad...I should've made Togepi die though...yeah, I know, I'm an incredibly messed up person, happens when you're a scribe with no life...~o.O~
Ash's Goodbye
~*~*~
A small yellow flower sits on top of a peaceful grave. It reminds me so much of Pikachu...
I close my eyes
And I can see
The day we met
Just one moment and I knew
You're my best friend
Do anything for you
My little yellow friend, the one that I wouldn't go anywhere without. I never imagined it could just end this way...
We've gone so far
And done so much
And I feel
Like we've always been together
Right by my side
Through thick and thin
You're the part of my life I'll always remember
It happened so fast...you got sick all of a sudden. It turned out to be a deadly pokemon virus. You died a few days later. Dammit, why couldn't you just hold on!?! You killed me...by dying.
The time has come
It's for the best I know it
Who could have guessed that you and I
Somehow someday
We'd have to say good bye
I remember...years and years ago, when we first met. I loved you from the start, but you made me prove myself to you. You knew I would do anything for you, didn't you, Pikachu? You could've done me just that one favor...why did you die on me?
You've helped me find
The strength inside
And the courage
To make all my dreams come true
You helped me accomplish all my dreams...winning me the title of Pokemon Master, and helping me win Misty's love. Why I sometimes took you for granted is beyond me. Now you're gone, and I'm beating myself up for every one of those moments I didn't think of you.
How will I find
Another friend
Like you?
You were my little sidekick, the reason Team Rocket kept following us. Remember how we got them to become good guys? We were quite the team, weren't we, buddy?
Two of a kind
That's what we are
And it seemed
Like we were always winning
I remember how you wouldn't quit during that battle with Surge. Even when you were in the hospital...you were as stubborn as me, maybe even more stubborn. You won so many battles for me.
But as our team
Is torn apart
I wish we could go
Back to the beginning
First Butterfree...then Charazard, Squirtle, and now you? It seems I'm losing everything I worked so hard to gain.
The time has come
It's for the best I know it
Who could've guessed that you and I
You know, this might sound crazy, but I can almost hear you say "Pikapi". I can even picture you sitting on a cloud surrounded by bottles of ketchup. Hehe..you loved ketchup, didn't you?
Somehow, someway,
We'd have to say good bye.
Well, then, I geuss this is goodbye, Pikachu. I wish...I wish I could see you again...but I geuss it's too late, huh, Pikachu?
Somehow today, we have to say Good-bye.
Well, then, goodbye, Pikachu. Goodbye, my best friend.

Author's Note:(::sob::) THAT'S THE SADDEST THING I'VE EVER WRITTEN!!! (::sniff::) Okay, now I'm over it. FYI, Ash is in his mid 40's, so pikachu would be considered pretty old...ack!!! A 30 year old Pikachu!!! Eep!!!
As always, R&R. Flame me if you must, but all bad flames will be fed to the good people at the Insane Writer's Guild, and leftovers go to...me!!! Good thing I'm hungry...~o.O~
