Chapter one:
A male Pikachu, roughly by the age of two years, ran through the forest of Viridian. It was a wet, Autumn day that day, his fur was covered in mud and wet from the rain storm the previous night.
Coming up to one tree in particular, he climbed to a top branch of it and started picking the fruits it bared; Pecha berries.
"Whew.." He said as he gathered a few of the Pecha berries and stuffed them into his mouth for protection. Hopping off the tree, he scurried back to his den, which was on one of the mountains on the outskirts of Viridian.
The male Pikachu's paws hit the ground with silent thuds as he made his way back to Viridian city. As he excited to forest, towers of all kinds greeted him in the city, hovering over his tiny self. The Pikachu gave a quick shudder, and snuck his way into an outlet store.
Being the size that he was, nobody noticed him this day. He gave a silent sigh of relief as he trotted up to a nearby cart, which held cloths of all different kinds. Picking out a square, blue one, the Pikachu made its way out of the store, as soon as somebody opened the door to leave.
The male Pikachu trotted to the outskirts of Viridian. Trees lined the edges of the city and a path that led to Pewter City was there. The Pikachu went to the left of the path and into the forest of trees. He ran through them and, a few minutes later, could feel himself running up a slope. The male Pikachu sighed. He was almost there. He was glad about that cause his paws were starting to blister. He continued trotting up the mountain now, until reaching the top. He felt the slope go flat. He looked around through all the trees.
Running passed the trees, dodging a few every now and then, and jumping over bushed, the male Pikachu came to a row of huge, lush greed bushes that led to his home on the other side. He crouched down and crawled through the bushes, making sure that the sack on his back was not punctured by any twigs sticking out.
Once he got passed the bushes he entered a huge, circular, clearing. The big bushes and a few trees outlined the clearing. At the back of the clearing, there were no trees or bushes that outlined it, but instead, it was the side of a huge mountain that bordered it. The side of the mountain facing the clearing was carved out to make a shelter for all the other Pikachu that lived here.
The Pikachu trotted into the huge shelter. Once he entered, he was greeted by all sorts of Pikachu. Some old, some young, and some his age. Battle scars and ruffled hair were some of the many special features that these Pikachu had. He smiled and stood up, walking over to the individual cave for the warriors in the front of the shelter.
"Yo, what up, Zap?" One of the Pikachu called from inside of the warrior's cave. He had a scar going across his right eye. The male Pikachu, or Zap, stepped inside.
"Nothing much, Gai" He said simply, taking the cloth off his back and unfolding it out on the hard dirt ground. Pecha berries were unfolded. Zap took out some and placed them in the middle of the den. Random 'oos' and 'aahs' were heard from around the warrior's den.
"Aah, so I see you managed to find something, eh?" Gai said teasingly. Zap chuckled.
"Yeah, with the wife just having kits, its hard.." He said, scratching the back of his head. And, with that said, Zap took the cloth, rapped up the rest of the berries, and headed towards the elder's den. Once he entered, he noticed most of them were asleep. Some were in the back, chatting quietly to one another, telling stories about past battles and such, like they always do. Zap walked up to them silently, careful not to disturb the others. He got to the back and unfolded the Pecha berries again, placing a couple of them down next to the elders. They smiled up at Zap warmly, showing their gratitude. Zap nodded and smiled back, folding up the rest of the Pecha berries.
"Careful not to overdue it now, Zap" One of the elders with a chipped tail whispered out, his voice raspy with age. "Sparks needs you too, you know"
Zap turned to the elder "I know. I know, Chipp, you don't have to worry." He whispered back. With that said, he excited the cave and went to the caves across from them. He entered the first one, the apprentice's cave. A second after he entered, Zap was tackled to the ground in the middle of the den by a light yellow Pichu.
"Hiya!" The peppy Pichu said, hopping off of Zap's back. Zap sighed impatiently and took off the cloth, unwrapping it once more. He took out a few Pecha berries and placed the down on the ground and stepped back a few feet. Seconds later, the Pecha berries disappeared in a flash. Zap could see each Pichu holding onto one in their own spot in the back of the den. He smiled.
"Kits these days.." He said, wrapping up the rest of the berries. The Pichu that tackled him jumped up.
"Hey, we're not kits anymore!" He whined as he jumped up and down in front of Zap.
"Oh right, oh right. You got it, Pips" Zap said calmly, patting the young Pichu's head and putting the sack of berries on his back.
Zap excited the cave once more. But, instead of going to the den next to the apprentice's den, which was the nursery, he went all the way to the back of the cave, where their leader was. He passed a few Pikachu that were talking with others, and a couple of other apprentices, and finally reached the den where the leader was. He walked in, pushing away the moss door. He looked up and smiled up at their leader; Scar.
Scar was a magnificent leader, he must say. Standing at about three feet, two inches, Scar was a big, darkish orange, Raichu. His eyes were a deep, blackish blue, and his tail was dark brown, with a tint of silver to it. But one amazing trait was the huge scar he has, running across his whole face. He said to have gotten it in a battle with a Mightyena when he was only a Pichu. His dark brown ears twitched as Zap entered. He bowed down to Scar.
"I am sorry to disturb you leader, but I came back with food today" He said, taking off the sack whiled he was still kneeling down. Zap took out some of the Pecha berries and placed them in front of Scar.
"Aah, good job, Zap" Scar said kindly, grinning and showing his many white fangs. "but remember, you got a wife at the nursery." he added in.
Zap nodded. "I know. I was planning to go there after I give the rest of the berries to the pack." Scar nodded and, with a single flick of his long, powerful tail, he dismissed Zap.
Zap dashed off towards the nursery, bumping into a couple of Pikachu and almost tripping over Pichu on the way. Once he got there, he entered quietly, extra careful not to disturb any of the mothers with their kits that were in their. Zap tiptoed passed the many soft looking moss beds, in which the mothers were resting on, their kits sleeping peacefully at their side. Zap carefully tiptoed to the back of the nursery, where Sparks, his wife, lay. He knelt down beside her and quietly took off the cloth, unwrapping it to reveal the last of the remaining Pecha berries.
"Hey there" He whispered quietly to Sparks. She was currently resting and Zap didn't want to scare her. Sparks stretched out and yawned widely, bearing her fangs. She rubbed her eyes but stayed on her side. Zap looked down at the two babies that were at her side nursing. He smiled warmly down at them.
Every so often, one of the two would shift, or make quiet little squeaking sounds. They fur was a pale yellow, and their ears and tail were a darkish brown-black. He couldn't see their eye color yet, for they were just born, and Pichu normally didn't open their eyes till they were about a week or so.
"kaa.." The Pichu on the left just squeaked, pushing over and snuggling up to the one on the right. Zap chuckled quietly to himself. Sparks held herself up on her right paw and shifted the two Pichu over with her left. Then she got back down, resting her head on the soft moss.
"So..have you decided names for them yet…?" Zap asked slowly. Sparks looked up, her eyes half closed.
"Yes" She said, half lazily.
"What are they?"
Sparks stopped to think for a moment. "..Give me one of those Pecha berries; then I'll tell." She smirked.
"..They were gonna be for you anyways.." Zap said, sweat dropping and handing her a large Pecha berry. Sparks sweat dropped also.
"Oh" She said simply, laughing a little and taking the soft, pink berry from Zap. She took a large bite out of it and, in a matter of seconds, it was gone. "aah..that was good" She said, shifting the two kits again. "We don't get fed enough in the nursery." She added in. Zap sweat dropped again.
After they finished the last of the Pecha berries, Sparks shifted over and Zap lay down with her. He nuzzled her nose affectionately and gazed down at the kits, petting them both with his paw. He looked back up at her, then their eyes met.
"So..what did you name them?" He asked again, leaning in a little. He had been waiting for the birth of their kits for months. Now he wanted to know what they would be called.
Sparks paused a bit, then whispered quietly, gazing affectionately down at them "Sparker and..Zapper"
Told ya it would be longer, didn't I? XD X3 lol
