I got reviews, yay! This chapter was written right after Chapter 1 sometime in the early morning, so it might not be the best.

----- Chapter 1: Captured

All was going well as he watched Pikachu come into the area from his spot among the trees, making him snicker a little. That poor mouse was so naive! He had to look away just long enough to set up the hologram...

Pikachu looked from side to side for the visitor that she came to see, but didn't see anyone. She walked towards the edge of the water and looked into it. The water was so clear she could see her reflect, the stars above, the glowing Mew that was floating behind her...

She fell over into the water in surprise, but quickly turned around with her fur soaked through to see the legendary Pokemon giggling at her. " Pika! " The mouse huffed. She didn't see what was so funny!

The mew just snickered and started to float away from Pikachu back onto the bank. Pikachu was just curious to why the Pokemon was there so crawled out of the water and chased after it while calling for it to stop.

Meowth couldn't believe how perfectly this was working! He guided the machine that made the Mew hologram towards the spot he wanted Pikachu to spot, moving just slow enough for the mouse to keep up with it. He stopped it on the other side of the lake where he was, with him shining the hologram almost directly below where he was in the trees.

Pikachu ran up to the Mew and looked at it. Mew was circling around that spot, then suddenly ascended into the air. Squealing, she ran up to the spot Mew was hovering in only to trip over something.

As soon as she hit the ground four walls came up around her, and a roof slid into place above her. She seemed confused until the 'box' lifted off the ground to show that it was actually a rolling cage made up of what looked like glass and metal. Pikachu cried out in surprise, but it's voice was muffled by the glasslike walls that surrounded her.

" Ah-HA! "

Meowth tucked the little hologram machine under his arm and jumped down in front of Pikachu. " Want to see yer little friend again? " He turned on the machine just for a second, long enough for Mew to appear and stick it's tongue out at Pikachu. " You should'va seen da look on yer face! " He couldn't hold it in any longer, he was laughing right in her face!

She lowered her ears in shame, then tried to shock the cage. Instead of breaking through it the lighting bolt bounced back and hit her in the stomach.

Meowth pawed at the glass. " This glass is top of the line. It can deflect five of them hyper beams without a scratch so it can take a measly lil' thunderbolt easily! " He went on about his glory, eyes watering at the thought. " It cost me a lot of meal less nights and guilty pleasures, but it'll all be worth it when I hand you ovah to tha boss! "

He went for something at the front of the cart, what looked like a handle that you'd find on an old red wagon, and started to pull the cart along. Pikachu pounded on the glass even harder as she watched the campsite that her friends were sleeping slowly drift out of sight. When it was gone she slowed and eventually stopped, lowering her paws with a defeated sniffle.

She never would've guessed...

That a stupid Meowth would've got her in the end!

I answer any noteworthy things at the end of a chapter so it doesn't take up much front space. Mainly questions or things that caught my eye:

Act: The anime has been pretty scarce when it comes to that, eh? From what I've seen Pikachu's a girl. Never once have I thought of it otherwise. oO

And since the two that asked wer so nice, I reviewed both of your fics.
