Chapter 12



After leaving Vaporeon with Ash and Misty I decided that it would be best to rest by that pond for the night. I'm not really sure why I kept going back to the pond, but for some reason I always felt safe there. It was also a nice looking place. Clean water close to food, it would be a good place to raise a family. Ah! I meant go camping. Yes, a good place to go camping. What's happening to me?

*I think we should rest here for tonight.* I yawned to the other Pikachu. She liked me more now than when we first meet because of all that I had done.

*I think your right.* She yawned in response.

"This looks like a good place to rest for the night." I heard a voice saying on the other side of the bush.

*Who's tha-* Started the Pikachu before I stopped her.

*Don't say a word.* I whispered to her. She nodded in agreement.

"Maybe tomorrow I can wake up and catch lots of Pokémon." Yawned the voice.

*We should be ok if we don't make a noise.* I whispered to the Pikachu. She nodded in agreement again.

I was about to walk away until I heard talking on the other side of the bush. I didn't want to risk us getting caught so I decided that we should just rest there for the night. She agreed.



"Good news." Said the doctor. "It's a boy."

I'm so happy. There are no words that can describe how happy I am. After almost nine months me and Brandi had a boy. I'm gonna tell everyone about how wonderful it is.

"I-I-I." Was all I managed to get out.

"You don't have to thank me." Replied the doctor. He had apparently gotten this a lot.

"I-I-I." I said again.

"She's waiting for you in that room over there." Replied the doctor, pointing to the room she was in.

"I-I-I." I replied as I started towards the room.

"Good luck." Replied the doctor before he walked off.

"Hey honey." Said Brandi as I entered.

"Uh." I started before the words finally came to me. "I'm so proud of us."

"Come take a look at your son." Replied Brandi.

"He's so cu-" I stopped.

"He even has your tail." Replied Brandi. The child wasn't human, but a Pikachu.

"What!?* I gasped. This isn't right. This isn't possible! What's going on here!

"Pika." Said the baby Pikachu.

"It said your name." Replied Brandi.

What's happening!



I awoke the next morning still worried about the dream that I had. What did it mean? Something was not right in my mind and I had to find away to go back to being a human. I looked for that other Pikachu to see her looking around at the edge of the bush.

*What are you doing?* I asked her, trying to keep my voice down.

*I just wanted to see what it looked like.* She replied, not worried about keeping her voice down.

*You're gonna get us both captured.* I told her, now standing next to her looking at the person asleep on the ground.

What am I doing over here? I was just saying how dangerous it was and now I'm looking at this person sleeping too.

*I think we should. . .* I stopped. The person on the ground had turned, but they where still sleeping.

*. . . Get out of here.* I continued when the person settled again.

*I guess your right.* She sighed.

"That was a good rest." Yawned the person that had been asleep. Both me and the other Pikachu ran behind the bush.

"Well I guess that I had better get a move on." The person yawned again.

*Don't make a sound.* I whispered. The other Pikachu nodded.

"Well guess I'll be going." Said the person.

*Do you think it's safe now?* Wondered the Pikachu.

*I don-* I started before I was cut off by the person.

"I knew there where some Pokémon around here." Said the person.

*I think we should run.* Whispered the Pikachu. I nodded before we both started running.

"I guess it was just a stick." I barely heard the person say before I got to the other side of a tree.

*I think we should wait awhile before we leave.* I said, looking around to tree to see if the trainer saw us.

*I think your right.* Replied the Pikachu.


We waited five minutes before the trainer left the area. After he left we started walking around to try and find another place to be. After about an hour of walking I noticed something strange.

*Is that the pond we started at?* I wondered.

*I think it yes.* Replied the Pikachu.

How had this happened? We had went in a straight line the entire time.

*I guess we can rest here for awhile.* I said as I went over to the pond.

*Yeah.* Yawned the Pikachu as she laid down next to the pond.

*I had meant to ask you this before but lots of stuff came up.* I started. *What's your name.*

*My name?* Wondered the Pikachu. *Well, my mom always called me Flower.*

*That's a nice name.* I replied.

*What's yours?* She asked.

My name, I had never thought about a name. I couldn't use my own cause it was too human.

*Um.* I started, still unable to think of a name.

*I think you should keep Lightning Angel.* Started Flower. *It's so cute.*

Not gonna keep that name.

*Um.* I replied. Still unable to think of anything.

*But something that Vaporeon said.* Started Flower as she thought back. *Maybe you should go with Guardian Angel, that name sounds a little romantic.*

*Um.* I started. That name I could work with. *How bout just Guardian, easier to remember.*

*I guess your right.* Yawned Flower.

What is it about this pond? It seems so comforting, and nice to be around.

*We should start moving again.* I said, remembering we hadn't eaten almost all day. *We haven't had anything to eat almost all day.*

*Oh.* Started Flower. *Your right.*

*I know of some berry bushes up this way.* I replied, pointing in the direction of the bushes. *It should only take us about five minutes to get there.*


The trip to the berry bushes took more than five minutes to get there. It had taken almost an hour. There where an unusually high number of people out and about today. Someone had probably said there was a rare Pokémon out in the woods and all these people where looking for it. It wasn't an unusual thing though, me and Brandi had stayed in the woods for nearly a week because we where told a rare Pokémon had been seen around there.

*Oh no.* I said as the berry bushes finally came into sight.

The people had set up a small town next to them. There where sleeping bags and tents everywhere.

*Now how are we gonna get the berries.* I groaned.

*Look.* Said Flower. *No one's around.*

*What.* I said, as I looked around. She was right, no one was around.

*Ok,* I started, *we'll sneak up and grab as many berries as we can carry and sneak back out.*

Flower only nodded and started to the bush.

*Ok.* She replied when she had as many as she could hold.

*Lets sneak out.* I said when I too had as many as I could hold.

We had almost made it to the tree line when I heard laughter coming from behind us.

*Run!* I shouted as I started towards the trees. Flower followed quickly behind me.

We had just made it to the trees when the people came out from behind one of the tents.

*We made it.* I panted, we where both out of breath.

*Ok.* I started, trying to regain my breath. *We should head back to the pond. It's the closest source of cover that I know of, and if we remain hidden we should be ok.*

Flower only nodded, she was still out of breath.


We made it back to the pond in a little bit less than and hour. When we got back, however, it had started to rain.

*Get to the bushes!* I yelled as I made my way to the bushes. The rain storm had come out of nowhere.

We made it to the bushes just as the hardest of the rain started to fall.

*We should rest here for tonight.* Flower said as she set the berries she had gathered down.

*I think your right.* I replied as I too set down the berries I gathered into the same pile.

*We'll have to stay close for warmth.* Said Flower as she came closer to me.

*I guess you're right.* I replied. I didn't really want to do it but she was right.
