Ash, Brock, May, and Max were resting on a fallen tree. They were resting their aching feet which were walking for hours.

ìIím hungry...î Max wined. May glared at him.

ìQuick your whining Max itís making us even more hungry.î

Max shut his mouth. Suddenly everyoneís stomach rumbled.

ìGGGGGGRRRRR.î Everyone sighed. They had been walking for hours and they havenít eaten for a long time.

ìUh. I wish we could have something to eat.î Ash groaned.

He was the hungriest of them all. May got up and stretched. She turned around toward her friends. She was a little less exausted and she was tired of waiting around for them.

ìIím going to look for some food. Iíll be right back.î As she started leaving she heard her brother say,î Save some for us ok!î

She turned around and glared at him and started off again. The others laid back and rested.

ìMOM! Itís waking up!î Sophie cried.

Sophie could hear her mothers foot steps from the kitchen. There was some rustling and then the kitchen door swung open. Her mother came over to where Sophie was with Torchic.

ìLook mom. Itís eyes are opening. Torchicís eyes opened slowly.

It saw to strangers looking at him. He hear the big one say, ìOh honey, is it okay?î The voice was sweet and calmed Torchic a little.

ìHello.î The little one said to it.

It was squeaky, happy kinda voice. Torchic sat up and looked around. It was looking for May. When it didnít see her it started to get teary.

ìOh donít cry little guy.î Sophie said. She started to pet it gently on the head. The tears went away and were replaced with a happy smile.

ìIt must be hungry Sophie. Why donít you give it some of the soup I made.î

Her mother left for a second and then came back with a steaming bowl of soup. Sophie took it from her mother and scooped a little in a spoon. She offered it to Torchic. It looked at it and gave it a taste. Then it ate the whole spoonful. She feed Torchic until it was full and didnít want anymore.

ìYou where hungry werenít you little guy.î She said as she wiped itís month with a napkin. ìMy nameís Sophie. Whatís yours.î Torchic chirped itís name in response.

ìTorchic huh. I have never seen a pokémon like you before. Your not from here are you?î Just then Torchic remembered being separated from May. It burst into tears.

ìOh! Whatís wrong Torchic! Donít cry! Tell me whatís wrong.î Torchic couldnít hear her over the sobs.

Pikachu was sniffing the ground for a scent. Drat! Nothing. Pikachu then looked up at the sky. The air was very moist and the dark clouds looked ready to burst again. Pikachu looked behind him and smirked. Meowth was trailing way behind. Pikachu didnít trust Meowth one bit. Thatís why he was trying to say clear away from him.

Bang!

Pikachu looked up at the sky in shock and was greeted by a drizzle of rain. Great. Now they had to find a place to stay.

Pikachu ran up the path a bit and looked around. All he saw was trees and some bushes. He needed to find a place where they could rest. Pikachu could here Meowth calling him trough the rain. He just ignored it. He would go back later when he found shelter.

Pikachu started running as fast as he could. Everything he was looking at was a blur. Finally something caught his eye. A tree! With a hole in it! Perfect. Pikachu sprinted back over to Meowth.

Note: Notice that I sometimes call Pikachu an it. Thatís because I donít want any people complaining about it. After some thought I have decided to leave Pikachu a he. Also My computer doesnít seem to go with Every time I try to make the parentheses sign that shows they are talking, it make a different sign! UGH! Itís driving me crazy! I have to look into it. So for now their will be no more parentheses anymore. Thank you. Now back to our show!

Pikachu carried Meowth all the way to the tree. If Pikachu had his way he would have left Meowth their to sleep in the rain, but Pikachu knew that even though he was a bad eggs he still had to be the good guy.

After placing Meowth as far away from himself as possible and placing himself in a comfortable position Pikachu looked around the hole. It was a nice hollowed out hole and looked like it was made by a pokémon. Pikachu shivered. What if the maker came back to his den. Pikachu hope that it was an abandoned hole.

Pikachu was still looking around the hole when he saw something orange on the floor. What was it. Pikachu picked it put. It was definitely fur from pokémon. But what. Pikachu sniffed at it. The smell. It was so familiar.

Wait! Pikachuís eyes open really wide. He knew that smell. It was what he was looking for this whole time. This was Torchicís fur! Pikachu could tell this was new. That meant that Torchic was still out their somewhere. But Where? Pikachu didnít know where and he wasnít about to think it over. He was really tired. So Pikachu, while clutching the little bit of fur in his paw, fell into a distant sleep.

Well nice. Na. You guys donít care. Oh well. Guess Iíd better get going. bye.
