Warm sunshine filtered through the treetops, illuminating the snoozing faces of three napping figures. After an eventful morning involving the shenanigans of the Team Rocket trio, Ash, Iris, and Cilan decided to take a nice afternoon nap under the shade of the forest canopy. They had also decided their pokemon deserved a nice long nap, and they had let some of them out of their pokeballs to join them.
But those nine mischievous pokemon were doing the very opposite.
They were playing their own little game of truth or dare.
A good distance away from their sleeping trainers, Pikachu, Snivy, Pidove, Axew, Emolga, Pansage, and Dwebble were all sitting in a circle watching intently as Tepig and Oshawott were facing each other in the center.
Oshawott was cringing away from Tepig, eyes squinting nervously as if he was waiting for something to happen, "Osha.."
"Te-piggggg!" Tepig squealed, unleashing a huge cloud of smoke in Oshawott's face.
"OSHAA!" Oshawott howled, his white paws flying to his face as he scrubbed off the ash covering his face, hopping up and down dramatically, "WOT OSHA-WOTT WOT!"
All the other pokemon broke into peals of laughter, Tepig even falling on his side, his legs kicking out as he cracked up.
Oshawott stormed back to his spot in the circle moodily, huffing and sitting down.
As their laughter quieted, Emolga's eyes caught sight of something red in the bushes next to them. Upon further examination, she realized it was a Tamato berry.
An extremely huge Tamato berry.
"Emo-Emoo..." she cooed, eyes glinting devilishly as a mischievous plot came to her mind. She pointed a paw at the still laughing Pikachu, "Emolga-Emol!" she pipped sharply.
Pikachu jumped, tilting his head to the side, "Pika?"
She smiled, "Ga Emol..." she started, which probably translated to 'I dare you', "Molga Emo!" she pointed to the Tamato berry quickly.
All of the pokemon gasped and cried out in excitement, their eyes shifting between the plump berry and the pale faced Pikachu who was gaping at it.
"Pika! Pikachu Pi-ka chuu!" Pikachu pleaded, fixing Emogla with puppy eyes.
"Emo-emol!" She shook her head, smiling sinisterly.
"Osha!" "Te-pig!" "Sni-vy!" "Pi-dove!" "Ax-ew!" "Pan-sage!" "Dwe-bble!" all of the other pokemon started chanting, bouncing up and down.
Pikachu looked around pleadingly one last time, but realized his efforts were futile. They all wanted him to do this dare. Taking a deep breath, he bounded over to the bush and grabbed onto the berry, plucking it down. It was absolutely enormous, even Pikachu was unable to wrap his paws all the way around it. His nose wrinkled, already smelling the spicy juices inside of it and making his eyes water.
"Osha!"
"Te-pig!"
Pikachu brought the berry closer, hesitantly opening his mouth.
"Sni-vy!"
Closer...closer... his paws shaking expectantly.
"Ax-ew!"
"Pan-Sage!"
It was now or never. Time to go for it. Opening his mouth as wide as he could, Pikachu chomped down, swallowing it in one bite.
"PIIIIIIII-KKKKAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
Ash, Iris, and Cilan jolted awake with a yell.

The sliding doors inside the Pokemon Center opened, Nurse Joy walking out with a mouth-breathing Pikachu in her arms.
Ash sprang to his feet, hurrying over, "Pikachu!" he called, relief evident in his voice. Iris and Cilan joined him, followed by their joyfully chattering pokemon. They had refused to go back inside their pokeballs until they were sure Pikachu was ok.
Pikachu immediately leapt into his arms, hugging him back when Ash crushed him to his chest. Nuse Joy smiled, holding out a small bag of ice cubes.
"That was some nasty Tamoto berry he ate, but Pikachu will be just fine. However, his mouth needs to 'cool off' a bit and heal. Take this bag of ice cubes and make sure Pikachu is sucking on them throughout the night."
"Alright. Thank you so much Nuse Joy!" Ash responded.
Nurse Joy giggled, smiling at them, "That was quite a scene you and your friends made coming into the pokemon center!"
"Oh yeah, sorry about that..." Ash responded sheepishly, rubbing the back of his neck as he remembered. Cilan and Iris chuckled nervously.
The doors to the entrance of the Pokemon center burst open, all of the guest inside jumping in shock as complete and utter chaos broke loose.
"NURSE JOY!" Ash cried, "MY PIKACHU NEEDS HELP!"
Cilan and Iris were yelling out as well, trying to calm down their panicking pokemon who were running around wildly.
Pikachu leapt out of Ash's arms, howling and crying as bursts of fire shot from its mouth, starting to run around crazily.
"Oh it's alright!" Nurse Joy laughed, waving her hand dismissively, "It's not the only thing unusual that's happened here!" she beamed at them, turning away, "Take care, make sure that Pikachu stays away from Tamato berries in the future!"
"I will!" Ash called, waving, "Thanks again!"
He looked down at Pikachu happily, reaching into the ice cube bag and pulling out one, "Better start on these, buddy!"
"Pih-ka.." Pikachu replied earnestly, his mouth hanging open still. He accepted the ice cube Ash fed him, finally closing his mouth and sucking on it.
"By the way..." Ash trailed off, his eyebrows rising quizzically as he looked down at the Pikachu in his arms, "Why did you eat a Tomato berry, Pikachu? You know what they do!"
"Pikachu..." Pikachu trailed off sheepishly, looking down at the equally sheepish pokemon below him.
Maybe it was best that he didn't know what they were up to.
