CHAPTER 2: The Spirits are Released


Pichu slowly opened the door to the mansion. He didn't feel like running into anyone, hoping Kawaiinaku wouldn't get cought. The close was clear. Everyone must have been eating now. "Come on!" he called his new friend.

"Kay," she replied and they ran into the mansion. The two were just about to reach the stairs when Roy ran out the dinning room. He almost ran past the little mouse, but stopped when he cought sight of Pichu's ears.

"Evening," Roy said. Pichu froze up and got very nervous. "Nice to see you're...what are you hiding?" Roy asked a he watched Pichu trying to cover something something behind his back.

"Err..." Pichu began to sweat. Then he saw Roy with Marth's sword. "What are YOU hiding?" he asked him, knowing Marth hardly, if ever, let anyone touch his sword.

"Uh..." Roy cleared his throat and straighted his figure, "this never happened"

"Got yah," Pichu nodded. He and Kawaiinaku went upstairs after hearing Marth yell about his sword missing. By that time Roy had already fled to the another part of the mansion.

* * *

Once the two reached Pichu's room, they dried themseleves off. Then Kawaiinaku hopped on pichu's bed, which was rather big for Pichu's size. He watched her get comfortable, then Kawaiinaku stared at him with her big green eyes.

"Hungry?" pichu asked her.

"Yah. Whacha think?" she replied. Pichu nodded and scampered back downstairs. He went into the kitchen where Pikachu and peach were doing the dishes. Pichu snuck past then and climbed onto the table to get some fruits from the fruit bowl.

"Would you mind helping us?" asked Pikachu. Pichu held one apple with teeth and the other in his arms.

"Love to, gotta go!" he mummbled and hopped out the kitchen.

"Whats he up to?" wondered Peach.

Pikachu shrugged drying a dish. "Maybe he's still upset. I should talk to him."
Peach nodded and Pikachu walked out the kitchen.

* * *

Pichu munched on hi apple as he watched Kawaiinaku toy with hers bitting it here and there.
"So Kawaiinaku," Pichu spoke, "where do you come from anyway?"

Kawaiinaku gave a shrug and titled her head. "There. Ya' know," she said confusing Pichu.

"There were?" he asked. Kawaiinaku pet his chin. "So kawaii!" she giggled.
Pichu was starting to think kawaii was her favorite word. Then there was a knaock on the door. Pichu got neverous again and grabbed one of his blankets, trying to cover his friend.

"Hey! Cut that out!" she laughed.

"Shh! Kawaiinaku, you got to hide!" he said. Then Pikachu came into the room.

"Pichu," he said, "I'm sorry. I should have known how'd you felt about loosing. We where bad to you." Pikachu then looked at Pichu strangly. He was holding up a blanket like he was hiding someting.
"Wha areyou doing?" he asked.

Pichu at this point was frozen in place from shock. "Pichu are you OK?" Pikachu asked.

"You don't see anything?" Pichu finally spoke. Pikachu looked at him weird again.

"Nothing but you and your belongings," he replied.

"No one else?" Pichu asked still shocked. He could see Kawaiinaku so clearly and the blanket didn't even half cover her.

Pikachu shook his head. "No," he said. Pichu looked at Kawaiinaku. She was smiling and waving at Pikachu, but still he didn't seeing her.

"Oh. Than I'm fine," Pichu smiled.

"OK. Tomorrow come with me, Jigglypuff, and Kirby to the Poke Floats and we'll do some training," he told Pichu.

"Kay!" the little mouse replied. Pikachu smile and left his room. Instantly Pichu fell flat on the bed taking a deep sigh. "Why didn't you tell me you could do that?" he asked Kawaiinaku. She shrugged.

"Do what?" Kawaiinaku giggled.

* * *

Later that night pichu woke up. Kawaiinaku was sound asleep. He yawned and was about to go back to sleep, too, when he saw something glowing. It of course wasn't Kawaiinaku, even though her skin still gave of that ghastly light. It was that bell she brought with her. Pichu's eyes lite up with curiosity. It was so bright, yet its golden light didn't spread into the darkness of the room.
Pichu crowled over Kawaiinaku and stared into the bell. While glowing it looked like an eerie, golden, crystal ball. Slowly, Pichu inched his arms closer to the glowing bell carefully. His little paws felt funny as he touched it. Pichu couldn't really feel it, like his fingures were numb, but his body was filled with different reactions.

Everything was bright

Everything was dark

He couldn't move

His body was being sliced

He felt cold

He felt hot

He was drowning

He was being electricuted

Then a blast of wind knocked him down, taking away his breath. He couldn't see. He couldn't breath. Pichu thought he was dead.

* * *

"Pichu! Pichu!" a voice called out. He slowly opened his eyes to see Kawaiinaku smiling at him. Her eyes were filled with excitment as Pichu slowly sat up gasping for air. He fell back down from being so dizzy. He thought he was going to be sick.

"Poor Kawaii," Kawaiinaku pouted petting his head. Pichu moaned trying to sit up again. Once he did he waited for his head to stop spinning.

"Gah. Kawaiinaku, what happened to me?" he asked. She looked at the bell with a grin on her face. Then she looked back at the pain filled pokemon.

"You released the ancient spirits," she said.

"I released what?" Pichu asked dazed.

"The spirits that were in the bell" she explained, "see, there were spirits in the bell that could only be released by a certain someone. That someone now must get them back. And, kawaii Pichu, that someone is you!" she told him, but unaware to Pichu, not the whole story.

"...." Pichu didn't know what to say. Kawaiinaku was confusing the young rodent.

"You getting me Pichu?" she asked rubbing his head.

"Nope," Pichu replied sitting down. Kawaiinaku smiled at him.

"Kay," she simply said. 'You'll understand soon enough Spirit Master. I hope you'll be ready' Kawaiinaku thought as she watched Pichu get back up to prepare for today.

* * *

Later on that day Pichu met up with Pikachu, Jigglypuff, and Kirby on the Poke floats to train. It was supose to be like any other day, but Pichu had a bad feeling about everything.
It started when they were on the onix float. Jigglypuff charged at Kirby with a roll out attack when all of a sudden she was swept away by some invisible force. It was like she was hit with an smash attack, as she flew into the air screaming. The rest stared at Kirby who looked just as confused.

"I didn't do anything!" he said.

Then there waas a strong gust of wind. The strength of it almost blew all three of the onix. Jigglypuff came back on the revivle platform.

"Lets get out of here!" she screamed. Then another wind blew Pikachu, kirby, and Jigglypuff into the air, taking them away from Pichu. The little pokemon was terrified and confused. This never happened before on the Poke Floats. Maybe now he'll understand the ancient spirits.

------------------------------------------


Ooo! I belive this counts as a cliff hanger, no? Whats going on with the Poke Floats? What is Kawaiinaku talking about? What is she not telling Pichu? Well if you like the story so far, then I suggest you stick around. I'm already working on chapter 3 so it shouldn't take so long for me to post it. Maybe this weakened. Ooo! Please keep reviewing! And if you're gonna flame me cause you hate Pichu, who I think is just too kawaii, get out before I send the mews to get you! And if that won't work, Frisky the Chinchilla will have your head...Heehee! Bye bye for now!
