Disclaimer: I don't own Pikachu, or any other pokemon in this fic.
authors note: These wars really do exist *wink* but they go on in the grass on either side of Pallet town that you see in yellow. If you ever get there you might see a pikachu with a bandanna around her head called Swift... but that's another story.
P-89 was hiding behind the camp generator when suddenly a jolt escaped and hit her.
*flashback*
P-89 playing in the grass with her friends P-12 and P-34. They are tossing a ball to each other in a friendly game of "Pikachu" in the middle. They then switch to tip and they run after each other.
*end*
Swift woke up abruptly. She had passed out, or was it some mysterious revelation of the past?
Raticate was still glaring at Strike and Stormtail as she sneaked in and was about to free them when a whole squad of pidgeots flew in.
"Reporting for duty sir! We're here to take the pikachus to the required location at Pidgey Camp."
They bundled the pikachus up in a net and picked up the sides of the nets in their beaks.
"We'll be there soon sir! You can come to base camp and see them being hanged sir!"
"Very well then. Off you go. I'll see you guys at the hanging."
The pidgeots flew off and Swift quickly switched on her flying band and took off after them, the loose edges of her bandanna trailing after her.
The raticate saw her at the last moment and quickly called a backup squad to fly after her.
It took a while for Swift to catch up to the Pidgeots because though she had a VERY fast flying speed that doubled her normal speed and made her alot faster than the pidgeots they had a bigger head start.
When she did catch up with them she was about to use flash when...
*flashback*
P-89 was signing up for the secret agency with P-12. THey are walking alongside each other with an ice cream and filling out forms. A pikachu comes up and shows them a room where they could wait.
*end*
She awoke, and a pidgeot was holding on to her while flying at the same time.
"What the?"
The pidgeot back tossed back its head to reveal the friendly face of P-34, the Pikachu that could never perform a thundershock properly, successfully a full-fledged member of the Secret Agency?
"I got promoted P-89! We're in this together, for better or for worse."
"With you, P-34, its only worse."
"P-34! A whole flock of Pidgeottos behind us!"
"Let P-12 and P-28 out, they're gonna have to be able to fly by themselves, our covers blown!"
Strike and Stormtail got let out and they flew alongside Swift. They didn't have any time to exchange conversations because they barely had time to press their buttons and swoop up with us before the Pidgeottos caught up. THe pikachus had all thrown off their pidgeot suits and were flying steadily.
"P-28! They're gaining on us!"
"I heard rumours of a flight enhancer but I wasn't certain... We better go to ground and shock 'em."
"Sir! There are raticates following us as well as sandshrews! THey're creating a dust storm so we can't go down there!"
"Very well. We must do the only thing we can then."
"What?"
"Fight."
They turned around and started shooting jolts of electricity at the pidgeottos. They faltered only for a second, then continued flying.
P-34 took out a lvl calculator and pointed it at the pidgeottos.
"AARGH! THEY'RE OVER LVL 80! Very high hp. I dunno if we can take em."
"Quality over quantitiy 34. We are alot better than them."
"I doubt it P-89. I doubt it."
The pikachus split up so that they wouldn't be such an easy target. The pidgeottos were tense and uneasy though Swift couldn't figure out why.
They attacked. The pikachus were ready for them, but not for what they did.
Two pidgeottos singled out Swift and the others attacked the other pikachus. Only Swift and Stormtail had the bad luck of getting two opponents but even one would've been hard for an average pikachu.
Swift used double team and used thunder on them. THey didn't seem too affected so she did a flip in the air over them and did mega punch before they had time to swivel around.
She then paralysed them with thunder wave but they quickly shook it off and used fly on her. She was hit and nearly fainted but P-34 came to her rescue with a full restore.
"Come on P-89," he said, "I know you can do this."
His opponent came up behind him and he just managed to use agility.
Cheered up by the younger pikachu Swift used Swift (no pun intended) and shot stars at the pidgeottos. They retaliated by using gust on her and blew the stars back at her, hitting P-34's pidgeotto.
She growled at them and the smaller one froze. Taking advantage of its hesitation she used quick attack and the pidgeotto plummeted to the ground 500 metres below.
Swift was afraid now. THe other pidgeotto leered at me with a grin on his face. I knew that even if I didn't have a level calculator with me this bird was at least level 90 or more.
"I have more training. Pikachus have superior techniques." she repeated to herself.
He launched himself at her, unaware of the plan that had formed in her mind.
She fired a toxic at him, and he used wing attack on her.
THen she hit him with a rage and he suddenly started glowing. Though the pidgeotto was mildly weakened Swift knew that toxic's power increased steadily and zapped the energy of the opponent all in due time.
Swift was about to use bodyslam when she remembered the glowing wings of the Pidgeotto.
"If that's what I think it is," she thought to herself.
Just to be safe she used protect just as the pidgeotto hit her with razor wind. The toxic still wasn't having much affect.
"Oh no," she thought, "the high hp."
She flew off a distance away and called into her speech projector, "Everyone back. Get our water bottles ready!"
They all got out teir water bottles and looked quizzically at her. She whispered the plan into her speech projectr and they all understood.
"Pikapi!" they shouted.
P-34 smiled at Swift, "We're gonna make it like you said."
"I hope."
They all waited for the pidgeottos to come closer then dumped the water on their heads, flew further back and used thunder on them.
*flashback*
"I'm sorry P-89, but we have to erase your memory."
"B-but why?"
"Its important. I'll explain when this process is through."
"Where's P-12! Oh no! I have to warn my little brother!"
Little brother? Her memory provided her with the answer.
"P-34! No! I have to warn him!"
"Relax P-89, its all good for you. Soon you won't remember a thing and will be completely devoted to the secret agency."
*end*
P-89 was being dragged along by P-34.
"Why do I have to keep saving you?" he asked.
"Your my brother P-34."
"WHat are you talking about P-89?"
"Why-"
"P-34! Get P-89 back to headquarters, she's had enough for today." said P-12. He was very concerned about her and still hadn't figured out how she had faked her own death.
"I'll take her P-12."
Swift looked startled at Stormtail.
"I need some rest too."
THey flew down to the ground and saw that all the pokemon were no longer following them.
"THey weren't fast enough for us eh?" said Swift.
"No. They are going to the pidgey camp to give their report."
"How did you survive the battle on the Plains of Despair?"
"THe Plain Battle? Oh, I was fighting a raticate when it slashed me across the chest."
"And..." prodded Swift.
"I don't like to speak of it."
"Come on... we're team mates..."
"AlRIGHT then. But before we do we better stop. Its getting dark."
They found a cave before long, and they walked into it carefully, making sure there weren't any Ursaring in it first.
Inside it had a rather musty smell and it was rather cold. As if reading her mind, Stormtail gathered up some wood and started a fire. Taking a few apples from his pocket he began to roast them over the fire.
His face flickered in the campfire light and he took out his sleeping bag and crawled into it.
Swift did the same and before long she was nearly fast asleep.
"The apple's are ready."
She was jolted awake again and took the apple that Stormtail offered.
"As I was saying, in the Plains of Despair a raticate gave me a slash across the chest. That didn't really affect me that much till he used toxic, and the poison started flowing through my system. I nearly died then, but a shining pikachu from the grasses around viridian city found me there after all the pokemon had left. The shining pikachus lived in the grass there and took care of the wounded after battles."
"Shining pikachu? Aren't they a legend?"
Stormtail laughed wryly, "So am I."
After a moment of staring at his apple he took a bite of it.
"Tis good stuff."
"Go on." Swift begged.
After taking a swig from what remained of his tomato ketchup he went on.
"I became one of the shining pikachus. They are very skilled in the art of healing and technology. I stayed there for some time then..."
"What?!?"
"She took me to see the shining gyrados. Its another legendary beast I know, but it makes you turn shiny and... it gives you... how can I put this... intelligence? It enhances every possible part of you when you become shiny. The pikachu that saved me- she was known as Sparkle when I met her, wanted me to join her tribe. I agreed and I became shiny."
"THen how come your not shiny now?"
"Well, I married Sparkle. She became Sparkletail, and we went everywhere together. But I got tired of being a shiny pokemon. They were sworn to never hurt anyone so I left. The gyrads removed our shine and Sparkletail followed me. I think she got killed at the R&P battle."
"You THINK she got killed?"
"I saw her get speared by a pidgey, but I couldn't find her body afterwards."
"And that means..."
"THe shiny pokemon may have come back for her. She may still be alive."
