Pikachu's Wish

(By Si Fron)

Chapter 2: Their Greatest battle yet! Pikachu vs. Team Rocket!

Narrator: The rain is falling steadily, and yet it seems to be using all of its might! Pikachu and the bumbling trio have ventured their way into a deeper part of the woods. The potion is beginning to take its toll on Pikachu, for he's slowing down, even as we speak!

Pikachu: 'Urgh! How powerful is this potion? Not only am I slowing down, I keep hearing this stranger's voice in my head! If I don't find a way to counteract the potion, they'll actually be able to catch me!'

Pikachu kept up his running. Knowing them, if he can defeat those Rockets now, they'll lose interest in their newest plan. Plus, these guys are so stupid, if he stepped right behind this tree (which he did), the morons would run right past him (Which they did.) Pikachu sighed a breath of relief and started looking around for… there! Pikachu ran over to the chesto berry plant and took a bite out of one of its berries. Within a few seconds, he was all perked up and ready to go! 2 seconds later, lightning slammed ferociously into the tree Pikachu hid behind and caused it to tip over towards a nearby tree, with Pikachu in between them! He screamed as he used Agility to escape a certain crushing doom!

The Rockets noticed this and immediately had Carnivine blast Pikachu with bullet seed.

Jessie: Ha ha ha ha! You may be fast again, but my sleep potion isn't stopped that easily!

Pikachu's instinct kicked in and he was able to dodge another lightning bolt that struck where he was standing. Pikachu became bewildered at this turn of events. Most electric pokemon are able to sense a lightning strike from almost a mile away, but earlier, he couldn't feel it coming until it was almost too late! Then he remembered what Brock had read about the forest. Its nickname was known as AC forest because, due to an unknown phenomenon, the lightning strikes struck often and switched polarity with each strike. Pikachu then realized just how much danger he was in. If Team Rocket didn't capture him, a stray lightning bolt could hit him and overload him, or worse, render him unable to ever use electric attacks again.

He was brought out of his thoughts abruptly by a Wobaffet flying through the air. When they collided, it sent our furry hero sailing towards a tree, leaving an imprint permanently embedded into its bark. With luck, he had narrowly avoided a stray bolt that nearly hit Wobaffet. Pikachu pulled himself off the tree and began a counteroffensive by using Agility. Much to his surprise, Wobaffet appeared at the last second and countered it. That's when Pikachu noticed the mini-rockets attached to what Pikachu assumed to be his feet.

Pikachu: Pi! (Crud!)

Pikachu flipped in the air and landed on his feet. Carnivine started to shoot out more bullet seeds, firing continuously at Pikachu. Pikachu leapt from spot to spot looking for an opening. Unfortunately for our yellow hero, he couldn't find one. Carnivine stopped his bullet seed onslaught and proceeded to bite Pikachu. When he got close enough, Pikachu used Iron tail to slam Carnivine into the same tree he got slammed into by Wobaffet. Cracks appeared in the tree as it groaned. Pikachu attempted to land on his feet again, but when he landed, he slipped on the soft mud. Another bolt struck the ground he just slipped by and left a deep hole... 'Wait, that's it!' Thought Pikachu as he got out of the mud in time to send Carnivine on his face and slipping through the mud after its failed attack. Pikachu rushed after Carnivine with his agility only to have Wobaffet appear in front of him. But this time, Pikachu was ready. At the last second, our shocking electric mouse twisted in midair, allowing Wobaffet's Counter and his own Agility attack to increase the power of his jump. Using his head in more ways than one, Pikachu slammed right through the tree, causing it to fall on top of Wobaffet! Because the mud was soft and he was close to the tree trunk, the wobbly shield was pushed harmlessly into the mud with only his face sticking out. Carnivine was angry at having his comrade stuck in such a way and charged at Pikachu. However, the poor sap received a face full of Iron tail and was slammed into the mud, sharing the same fate as his comrade.

Meowth: Grr! How dare you!

James: Mime Jr.! Help Carnivine and Wobaffet out of the mud!

Meowth unleashed his claws and charged at Pikachu using his Fury swipes attack. Pikachu was about to counter the talking cat pokemon when he was forced to stop in mid-Iron Tail to avoid a reverse polarity lightning strike. As a result, our hero got pretty scratched up. Taking advantage of this opening, Meowth continued the onslaught, leaving Pikachu unable to get away, defend, or attack. Meanwhile Mime Jr. was digging Carnivine out of the mud with a barely noticeable amount of progress. In a matter of minutes, Pikachu was all scratched up and Carnivine was almost free! Pikachu desperately tried a thunder attack to get Meowth away, but once again, it was redirected to the lightning rod behind James. Meowth laughed at his supposed stupidity. Big mistake. Pikachu socked Meowth in the mouth with a punch. He then quickly followed up with a tail whip and a kick, all in 1 twist. Meowth was sent slipping through the mud so fast, Mime Jr. and the freed Carnivine were knocked out on impact and flew into a heap behind Jessie and James.

Jessie: We're not going to be stopped that easily. Time for my cheap, homemade spice bombs!

James: And for my Bo staff skills!

Jessie pulled out a large bag and started throwing her homemade bombs at Pikachu as James ran to strike Pikachu with… I can't believe he's that stupid! 'He's using their lightning rod as a staff! If I can time it right, I should be able to blow them away!' thought everyone's #1 pokemon. He immediately headed for Wobaffet and hit him with an Iron Tail so hard, it knocked the poor sucker out before he even started flying towards his master. He, however, had to dodge one of James' Bo strikes as he did so. Then, Our electric mouse tuned into nature and waited as he dodged the onslaught of Jessie's bombs and James' Bo strikes. After a minute or so, his eyes flashed. He slammed into James with all of his might! And in the second later, he used volt tackle on the poor saps as the lightning struck the rod. Needless to say, the explosion was tremendous.

pppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp

As the bumbling trio blasted away, Pikachu picked himself up and started walking. As he walked, the rain slowed its steady pour and eventually stopped, leaving gloomy clouds in the sky. He stopped at a tree and decided to leave a sign that he was okay. After a few minutes of painstaking difficulty, he carved a thunderbolt into the tree showing where he was going using a stone that he found. He did so to every few trees he passed. Eventually, he found the city he was looking for. After stumbling for a bit, our electric hero walked down an alleyway and plopped down near some trash. A cold wind then blew by, forcing Pikachu to crawl into some moth eaten underpants and shorts to keep warm. He then thought about Ash. He knew he would be worried when he woke up. But he was pretty sure they would reunite. They always did, because you can't separate friends forever. A shooting star fell across the sky just then. He decided he would wish his Arceus piece wish just then. He wished that he could tell Ash everything he wanted to tell him, to be able to deepen their friendship. To become even closer together than they are now as friends. And just before he lost consciousness, he added, 'Also, it wouldn't hurt to be able to do some other things Ash can do too.' And with that, his wish began to be granted, he fell unconscious, and his future now irreversibly sealed.

pppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp

At the same time, a girl was running down the street. She was upset that the thunderstorm scared off that Starly she wanted to catch. As she entered the city, she saw a peculiar flash of light. Being the curious girl she was, she entered the alleyway it came from. It was then that she gasped in a mix of fear and, curiously, excitement.

Pppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp

What just happened to Pikachu? Who was that girl? And is this the last we'll see of Team Rocket? Read and Review to find out!

Later! (Author turns into Darkrai and stalks into the alleyway.)
