Chapter 5 : First Ever Pokemon Battle

As Sonic, Pikachu, and everyone else moved on searching for endangered Pokemon, Golden Star started having weird senses tingling, like as if she knows something is happening to Thunder Lapiz. As they move forward, Golden's senses tingle even more as they draw closer to something.

"Something is definitely up," Golden Star muttered.

"What was that Golden?" Rainbow Dash turned and asked Golden.

"I feel like the more we move on, the more tingling feelings I get through my senses. I think something's happening to Thunder Lapiz, like she's in danger."

"Re re Umbreon," Umbreon added, saying Why do you care? She's obviously the enemy now.

"Umbreon's right," Shadow agreed, "Sure you both are sisters, but didn't you already forget the fact she locked you in a cage and abandoned you in the first place before we all got sent to this world full of undiscovered and yet strange creatures they call themselves, Pokemon?"

"I didn't forget..." Golden's voice softened, "..but I still care, I know she's put me under a lot of pressure these past few days, but she's sad inside too. After you all defeated Nazo, I've been noticing Lapiz's attitude change. She was sad, angry, confused, petrified, scared, and obsessed to finding a way to bring Nazo back. She was actually happy when Nazo around, she didn't care about anything else than him. Now she isn't herself after the incident, so she's actually trying to find a way to get revenge."

"Well, maybe we can try convincing her then," Sky suggested, "Maybe she'll understand that Nazo was actually using you two because he knew he wouldn't try to beat us on his own."

"Sky's right," Twilight added, "Lapiz may not have believed that, but there might be another chance she'll understand."

"No, she wouldn't listen to anyone anymore," Golden disagreed, "She wouldn't even listen to me when I tried rejecting to be a part of her plan."

"We can still try," Alexa replied.

"...well, if you guys are really su-" Golden's senses are starting to tingle even more.

Everyone stopped.

"Are you okay sugar cube?" Applejack asked Golden.

"Over there," Golden said, looking at where she thinks Lapiz is.

Everyone quietly, slowly, and cautiously moved forward starting to hear someone fighting other Pokemon creatures. Sonic, Pikachu, Golden, and Rainbow started looking through some bushes to what might be there. They saw Lapiz still fighting those wolf-creatures that were clawing at her.

"Pika Pika!" Pikachu exclaimed, saying Mightyenas!

Sonic quickly covered Pikachu's mouth before he could say anything else, that might attract the wolves and Lapiz. They luckily didn't notice, until Lapiz jumped in the air, charging her core, ready to blast at the Mightyenas growling. Lapiz then felt some strong tingling senses herself, her core powered down, and then she started falling on the ground, all from the distracting from the tingling senses. She hit the ground, the Mightyenas charged at her, and then Golden Star jumped out and ran to stop the Mightyenas from coming any closer to Lapiz.

"Leave my sister alone you monsters!" Golden shouted at them, in her fighting stance.

As Lapiz opened her eyes and noticed Golden Star protecting her, she got up instantly and ran away from her and the Mightyenas. She knew that if she'd stayed any longer, Golden would only keep her from proceeding as planned. Golden turned to try call out for Lapiz, but the Mightyenas pounced with claws out and teeth showing.

"Pikachu! Quick!" Sonic shouted as he got out from the bushes, "Stop those Mighty-whatever!"

Pikachu ran up to the Mightyenas, and called out to get their attention. They all turned and saw Pikachu, one started to charge at him.

"Pikachu! Quick! Attack!" Sonic called out to Pikachu.

Pikachu then ran up to the Mightyena, and knocked him back using all of his force.

"Whoa!" Rainbow flew up and shouted out, "That was so cool!"

As one Mightyena got knocked back to another, two other Mightyenas charged at Pikachu.

"Pikachu! Watch out! Dodge their attacks!" Sonic shouted.

Then Pikachu shifted to one side dodging one Mightyena, and then shifted to the other side dodging to the second Mightyena.

Wait a minute, Sonic thought to himself, whenever I call out an attack, Pikachu interacts with it. Maybe once someone befriends or tame a Pokemon, they order it to use a type of attack to use it against another Pokemon only when it and that someone is in a competition. This I can get used to, but I still have to find out some other moved Pikachu can do.

The two Mightyenas turned and attacked from behind Pikachu, they managed to hit Pikachu, but Pikachu got up and was still able to fight. One Mightyena charged directly at Pikachu.

"Uh- Pikachu," Sonic stammered thinking of other moves for Pikachu, "Uh- Thunderbolt!"

Before Pikachu got attacked by the Mightyena, he jumped up in the air. Pikachu's cheeks started to spark with lightning bolts, then his whole body started to electrify. Pikachu then shot out a lightning bolt heading straight for the Mightyenas, electrocuting each and every one of them. After they all got hit, Pikachu landed on the ground on his feet, as for the Mightyenas, they collapsed exhausted from all the fighting. As they all gazed up at Pikachu and everyone else, they got up and started running away into the woods.

"Whoa Sonic," Twilight came out and said, "That was amazing."

Everyone started to glare at Pikachu and Sonic, amazed after what they have done to save Golden and scare away the Mightyenas.

"Not bad Sonic," Shadow complimented, "I was expecting you to maybe assist Pikachu like you usually do in your past times, but that kind of works too."

"Well," Sonic starts to wonder, "If I can command Pikachu to do whatever I say in battles, competitions, or maybe for training, maybe you guys can have your own Pokemon so we can have a battle against each other."

"Huh, that sounds fair enough, Umbreon seems to fit with me so we can most definitely battle against you," Shadow smirked, as did Umbreon standing alongside him.

Alexa and Sky then realized Golden gazing at the direction where Lapiz ran off to. They both walked over to her to see how she's feeling.

"Yo Golden," Sky uttered, "Are you doing alright?"

"..I don't know.." Golden complained, "I at first saved Lapiz, but what hurts me most is her running off before I could even say anything to her."

"Well, maybe she was scared," Alexa added, "Maybe she thought we were trying to stall her or something."

"Well if that's the case.. then maybe we're too late to stop her when we had the chance," Golden's head drooped down.

"Hey, don't worry about it too much," Sky encouraged Golden, "we will stop her, besides it's not your fault. At least you did something before she could get slaughtered by those Mighty.. whatever those things were. You still cared for her, and maybe you're the reason to stopping Lapiz, to encourage her, to make her stop forcing herself to bring Nazo back."

"But how?" Golden looked up at them.

"We'll find a way."

Golden glared, then started to smile, "alright, if you say so."

Alexa was happy Sky could encourage Golden from going hard on herself, then she noticed Sonic and the others calling for them to move on. "Come on guys, Sonic and the others need us."

Sky, Alexa, and Golden Star started following the group as they continued their quest once again. Sonic decided to help the others train their Pokemon so they can prepare for other Pokemon battles, everyone else agreed. All they needed to do first of all is proceed helping other Pokemon that might still be in traps and/or injured.
