Just so no one is confused, Barbecute was an idea created by me and Gaige's Peppy Sweetheart. It's a merge of Barbeque and cute. Barbeque 'cause let's face it, I'm Typhlosion8, and I like hamburgers. Cute 'cause of my avatar. We were naming it, and GPS brought up Barbecute... So that's that. ^_^

Happy Friday the Thirteenth! (Hope you don't have Triskaidekaphobia)


Pickle the Pikachu scurried to the Oran Berry tree near the river. Today was his friend Barbecute's least favourite day, so he wanted to cheer her up. She was Triskaidekaphobic, and she was going to stay in all day, so Pickle was going to find breakfast. He knew where all the good trees were in Viridian Forest, his mommy Raichu told him their location when he was still a Pichu.

Pickle could see an Oran Berry hanging above his head, and reached. Oran Berry trees had very weak branches, and were not the best to climb for food. "Piiikkkaa..." he stretched. On his tippy toes, he reached, and a breeze toppled him over. *splash*

"Chaaa!" he complained. When a Pikachu got wet, they had to dry completely before attacking or they would electrocute themselves. No experience today!

"Sorry Pikachu!" Pod the Butterfree called from atop the tree. "I was coming in for a landing, and I didn't see you!" To add insult to injury, he plucked the Oran Berry from the tree. The exact one that Pickle had reached for. All the others were too high. Just some bad luck. I'll find a different berry.


His fur dripping with water, Pickle crawled onto the last rock, and saw the Pecha Berry tree. Perfect! Happily, he climed up the thick trunk, and grabbed a juicy one. Doing an impressive leap, he twisted off the Berry tree, and walked forward a bit, only to notice an Ursaring claw mark on the tree where he use to be. Ursaring territory!

"Saring!" a roar broke through the peace of the morning forest. Deciding to run, Pickle raced down the rocky hill to the bottom, where he saw a large bear Pokémon. Ursaring!

"Here, you have it." Pickle handed the ripe berry to the Ursaring, who growled. Stepping back slowly, Pickle went to the left, and ran towards the bushes. Barbecute's idea of staying indoors might not have been a bad idea!


Pickle shook the leftover liquid from his body, and slid down the side of the steep valley slope to the hidden Cheri Berry tree. Not my first choice, but it'll do!

The Pikachu snatched a cherry-like berry from the tree, and somehow stumbled up the valley to the top. He had two, a nice ripe one, and a smaller one, that looked not so ripe. Pickle reached towards the smaller one, only to feel a tiny Seed Bomb strike his hand. He quickly dropped the Cheri Berry, only to see a tiny face on it. "Cherubi!" it called. The Cherry Pokémon looked mad. "You pulled me fron my sunny spot!" she cried out. The tiny Cherubi rolled back down the hill. "Don't come back!" she yelled.

Today was not my day. Maybe I havTriskadekafobia?


Pickle had one more tree, a Rawst Berry tree. If this fails, then I'm going back to Barbe's cave.

He climbed the Rawst Berry tree, got to the top, where he saw an unusual berry in the tree. It was brown, long, and when he tapped it, it was hard. Now that I think about it, I'm sure I saw more of these on the way up. They look a lot like Kakuna...

"Bee Bee!" a bug voice called out. Startled, Pickle fell out of the Rawst Berry tree. It was then when the Kakuna decided to glow white, and evolve.

"BEE BEE!"

"Ahhhhh!" Pickle yelled as he used Agility to run from the Bug/Poison type Pokémon.

Goodbye Rawst Berry!


As Pickle walked into the familiar cave, scratches on his body and no berry in his hand, his best friend Barbecute walked up to him. "Guess what, Pickle? I went outside! And I picked two Sitrus berries from Tree. One for me, which I already ate, and one for you! Enjoy!" she cheerfully told him. He picked up his Sitrus Berry, took one bite, and dropped it swiftly as a Caterpie crawled out.

"Sorry, Pickle. Bad luck. Maybe it's because today is Friday the Thirteenth!" Barbecute imputed.

Pickle groaned. From now on, I stay home on Friday the Thirteenth. I am officially Triskadecaphobic.


So that's my Friday the 13th fanfic. Hope you enjoyed it!

P.S. I don't own Pokémon.
