"Hiro come on cheer up," replied Fred.
"Why Fred," responded Hiro.
"Come on just try to enjoy Pokemon."
"All they are, are pets."
"They are more then pets. They are friends they are a object to learn about..."
"Blah ba blah ba blah, they just can't be better then an athlete or a movie star."
"Yeah right, anyway I'm off to a meeting for pre licensed trainers, want to come?"
"Another meeting, no way!"
"Fine! but at least see the main event."
"Only seven hours left Pichachu," replied Ash.
"Chu," was the only response, from his electric rodent partner."
"What is wrong Pichchu you aren't sick are you?"
"Chu," responded Pichachu. Pichachu pointed to Misty who was waiting for her order on the other side of the restaurant. Misty was still scowling.
"You think I was too hard on her?"
"Pica," answer Pichachu nodding his head yes.
Ash sighed and stood up. Pichachu looked at him and then followed. Ash said nothing as he walked toward Misty. He sat down opposite of her. Misty said nothing. "Misty, I'm sorry, your right I wouldn't be here without you. I'm....sorry I yelled at you. This is probably not the best day to hate each other. It is just that, I am well....afraid of embarrass the Elite Four by losing badly."
Much to Ash's surprise Misty gave him a huge hug. When she realized what she was doing she let go, almost as fast as she hugged him. Her face turned as red as her hair.
"Help the bank is being robbed by a nut. He has got good Pokemon too."
"Lets go Pichachu,"
Ash and Misty ran down the road. At the corner they cut off the criminal. He was dressed as a scientist and had no physical resemblance to Team Rocket. He also had a sack of money on his shoulder. "Out of my way kids," he ordered.
"We aren't kids were Pokemon trainers," responded Ash.
"Just because you have a pet rat doesn't mean your as good as I am."
"What did you call him," Ash growled.
"A rat that is not as good as Rydon go"
"Is that the best you can do, go Pichachu.
By this time the commotion had attracted quite a crowd. One called him stupid, one called him hopeless, and one called him both. Odds makers declared his chances 15 to one. That was until a little boy identified him. The crowd murmured all at once and the odds immediately went down to 2 to 1. The criminal yelled, "If I beat you, it will put me in real good standings with Team Rocket. Rydon take down now."
"Key word "If"" Ash responded. "Pikachu Thunder now." Rydon charged at Pikachu. The ground shook as the giant rock Pokemon charged at the small rodent. Pikachu leaped in the air and sent out a massive Thunder beam. The beam actually curved and shot down on Rydon's horn instead of from the side. Rydon moaned and it fell over in one shot.
The crowd gasp and the thief was stunned. "Rydon isn't my strongest Pokemon anyway. That title goes to Golem go."
"You think your good enough Pikachu?" yelled Misty.
"Pika" responded Pikachu.
"Alright then hit him with your best shoot," commanded Ash.
"Golem tackle now," commanded the thief. Golem rolled toward Pikachu all 650 pounds of it. Pikachu glowed yellow and used its swift attack. The tiny stars emitted from the yellow glow stopped the rolling bolder dead in its tracks and then it began to push it back. "Golem underground."
"Pikachu prepare with Aglity." Golem rose from the ground right on target but Pikachu was one step ahead of that and the Rock Throw that followed. Pikachu ran as fast as it could around the dazed boulder making it even worse for the poor Rock Pokemon. "Now hit his small head, Mega Kick." Pikachu obey, he hit the small face with a series of punches kicks and tail whips before finishing the combo of with an electric shock on its head. However Golem still stood.
"Enough," the thief roared in frustration and humiliation. "Golem Earthquake."
"Gol..." the Pokemon never finished. In a mind boggling show of strength Pikachu lifted the Rock Pokemon jumped two feet in the air and planted it so hard it created a foot deep indentation in the road.
"I have one last trick," snared the thief. "Nothing can mess this up. Golem Self Destruct Now.
"Pikachu!" yelled Ash. He dove at the electric Pokemon who was extremely weakened after that Seismic Toss.
"Ash" yelled Misty. BOOM, Ash's world went black.
