Pokémon: Ashchu's Lost And Found

Chapter 4: Pokémon: New Adventures

"Talking"
'Throughts'

Ash: "Come on Pikachu, can't we move on?"

Pikachu: "Ash you must learn how to get in the fighting stance."

Ash: "Come on! I've done it plenty of times but you keep complaining that I'm not close enough to the ground or that I'm not doing it fast as you want me to. Anyway isn't it going to change after I evolve into a pikachu?"

Pikachu: "Trust me Ash it's one of those things you have to get right and the stance doesn't change that much when you're a Pikachu like me. Now lets try this again."

Back with the others Delia and Mr Mime arrived back from shopping and started gardening while Mr Mine helps clean the house. Brock and Misty are sitting in the shade close to Delia watching the Chu's in the distance.

Misty: "They have been working since this morning don't you think Ash and Pikachu should take a break?"

Brock: "They know what their doing, besides they haven't done that much except for Ash learning to run without falling and getting into a battle position."

Delia: "As long as they don't over do it then I think they'll be fine."

"Hello? Anyone home?"

Delia: "In the garden Samuel."

Professor Oak walked out of the house into the garden greeting Delia, Brock and Misty. following close behind was Gary and Tracey.

Professor Oak: "I heard from Gary and Tracey that the plan worked."

Delia: "They never suspected Me or Mimey, just like we thought."

Professor Oak: "So how is Ash?"

Brock: "Take a look for yourself."

Professor Oak, Gary and Tracey looked at the direction that Brock was pointing to see Pikachu and Ash cheering after Ash got into the stance with no mistake.

Professor Oak: "Well it looks hes doing perfectly fine."

Delia: "Would you three like to stay for lunch?"

Gary: "What do you think gramps?"

Professor Oak: "Why not?"

Mr Mine got the others three garden chairs for them to sit on. Tracey got out his sketchbook and started to draw Ash and Pikachu on the other side of the garden.

Back with Ash and Pikachu

Pikachu: "Great Ash."

Ash: "Thanks, so what now?"

Pikachu: "Why don't we have some fun?"

Ash: "What do you have in mind?"

Pikachu: "How about Hide and Seek."

Ash: "Alright whos hiding first?"

Pikachu: "Me and by the way theres a catch."

Ash: "What do you mean?"

Pikachu: "Back in a sec."

Pikachu ran back inside the house and came back with a blindfold.

Pikachu: "Put this on and make sure you can't see anything."

Ash: "Do I really need this? I promise I wont cheat and look while I count."

Pikachu: "Its not that, its all part of the training."

Ash: "I should've guess that we haven't finished for the day."

Pikachu: "Don't worry this is it for training today and I bet you're going to have fun with this. This is what you have to do. Don't ever take the blindfold off even when you finished counting. When you're done try to find me but only using you nose and ears."

Ash: "I think I know whats going on. you want me to get use to my new stronger sense of smell and sensitive hearing."

Pikachu: "Thats right. There will be three rounds. After you find me all three times we can relax or play something else."

Ash: "Alright."

Pikachu: "Go!"

Ash: "One, Two, Three, Four…"

Ash continued counting all the way to ten while Pikachu ran to the bushes. After Ash was finished he stood still and listened carefully and used his nose to smell the area trying to find Pikachu. When he sniffed the air he couldn't believe how much better his Pichu nose is comparing it to his old one. while trying to find Pikachu's scent he could smell so much more than he did before like all flowers in the garden and not to mention the food Delia was cooking for lunch. The same went for Ash's ears, he could hear a lot clearer and more farther away and heard bushes moving in the distance.

Ash: 'Could he be hiding in the bushes? Then again it could be the breeze out here, maybe I should try and sniff him out to make sure.'

Soon enough Ash pick up Pikachu's scent and started walking towards the bush that Pikachu was hiding in. when he was close enough he lifted up his arm making sure he didn't walk into it.

Ash: "Pikachu are you hiding in here?"

Pikachu: "Well done Ash, you found me a lot quicker than I thought you would. But thats probably because of my amazing teaching skills."

Ash: "Oh really why don't you look into my eye and say that?"

Pikachu: "Well I would if I could but you're wearing a blindfold."

Ash: "Very funny."

Pikachu: "Alright lets try again."

This went on two more times with Ash finding Pikachu instantly. Pikachu couldn't believe how great Ash had been, expecting him to never being able to find him that quickly. He smiled at his 'brother' and couldn't help but feel proud of him and couldn't wait to see how well he'll do when they start learning moves. Pikachu snapped out of his thought when he heard Deila from the other side of the garden with everyone else.

Delia: "Ash! Pikachu! Lunch is ready!"

Ash and Pikachu started walking back to the group until Ash spoke up.

Ash: "Um Pikachu, Thanks for everything."

Pikachu: "You're welcome Ash."

Ash: "I'm not just talking about today for rescuing me from Team Rocket or helping me getting used to being a Pichu. Thank you for being there since the begin. I couldn't ask for a better starter Pokémon or Best friend, if I lost you I would be losing a part of myself. Back along time ago when we found that Pikachu clan, I was thinking for the best for you just like I do with the rest of my Pokémon. Thinking that you would be more happier with them than traveling with me. When I said goodbye and ran leaving you there I was in so much pain, but the reason I was still up was because I thought you would have a better life with them and seeing you happy made me happy. But when you came running back I-I…"

Pikachu: "Its alright Ash. I feel the same, in a way we're like family and I'm always going to be by your side."

Ash: "T-Thanks."

Brock: "Come on you two, your foods here."

Pikachu: "Come on bro lets get something to eat."

Ash: "Okay."

When everyone had finished with their lunch Professor Oak, Tracey and Gary decide to head back to the lab and asked if Ash could go with them for a cheek up to make sure that he's healthy just like he does with the rest of the Pokémon he looks after at the ranch. Ash agrees knowing that this would be the right time to tell his Pokémon what happened to him. Pikachu tags along with them knowing that Ash may need some help convincing some of the Pokémon and making sure nothing bad happens to him. When they arrived Professor Oak took Ash inside the Lab while Pikachu and off into the ranch to find the group of Pokémon that traveled with Ash on his journeys, once that was done Pikachu had called for a meeting.

Pikachu: "Okay is everyone here?"

Snivy: "Seems like it."

Charizard: "This better be important."

Snorlax: "I was having a nap before you woke me up."

Bulbasaur: "So whats this all about Pikachu?"

Pikachu: "Well… I guess I should start by explaining what happened yesterday night."

Pikachu began telling the story that Delia told them that Ash was born as a Pichu and was saved by Delia and got turned into a human by Mew all them years ago. Then that Team Rocket kidnaped him last night and turned him back into his original form and rescued him this morning. When Pikachu finished speaking he was looking at lots of Pokémon with confused and skeptical faces, Ash's Noctowl was the first to break the silence.

Noctowl: "Is this your idea of a joke?"

Sceptile: "Yeah I'm not too convinced that your telling the truth."

Pikachu: "Why would I lie about something like this?"

Buizel: "I'm with Sceptile, it does sound unbelievable."

Pikachu: "Buizel, every time Ash goes on a journey he stops rampaging legendaries and defeats evil organisations all the time and you're finding this unbelieveable."

Heracross: "Didn't he turn into a Pikachu before by that spellcaster?"

Pikachu: "That was only temporary and even then he was still part human because he could still talk human. This is different because he was born as a pokemon then turned fully human by Mew and now he back as Pichu, With no human DNA."

Pignite: "I have no clue what you're talking about?"

Staraptor: "Me too, is there something else you're not telling us?"

Bayleef: "It happened a long time ago back in the Johto region, we will tell you later on."

Charizard: "Going back on topic, I'm also siding with Buizel and Sceptile until I get proof that are trainer is a Pichu."

Pikachu: "You wont have to wait that long because he's right over there."

The Pokémon looked to see Professor Oak putting a Pichu on the ground next to the lab.

Back with Ash.

Professor Oak: "All done, I'll let you know what the results are when they come back but my guess is that you're perfectly healthy. Run along and try not to get into too much trouble Ash."

Ash noded walking into the ranch, he start looking around until he saw Pikachu waving at him with the other Pokémon staring at him.

Pikachu: "Ash! Over here!"

Ash start walking towards Pikachu and could helped feeling nervous with his Pokémon staring at him, but kept his cool and joined the group.

Ash: "I'm guessing that you told them."

Pikachu: "I did, they didn't believe me but seeing that you're here should be a lot easier."

Scraggy walked up close to Ash and stared into his eyes, not taking an eye off him. Ash closed his eyes and waited expecting to get hit on the head, but nothing came. When Ash opened his eyes he saw Scraggy smiling at him and walked back a few steps to give him some space.

Scraggy: "I'm the taller than my trainer now, I could get use to this."

Infernape: "Wait you actually believe that this is Ash Scraggy?"

Scraggy: "Well yeah, why not? He sounds like him still and I guess it still feels like Ash."

Ash: "Thanks Scraggy."

Bayleef got close and inspected the small Pichu in front of her, and after a few seconds body slammed on top of Ash crushing the Pichu.

Bayleef: "Wow its true it is you. You're so cute now Ash."

Ash: "Thats great Bayleef, but can you please get off me."

Leavanny: "Bayleef I think you're crushing him."

Bayleef looked down and saw Ash trying desperately to breathe. Bayleef apologised and helped him up to his feet using her vines.

Charizard: "I think you two are too gullible. I think we should ask him some questions to see if this is really Ash."

Ash: "Sure."

Charizard: "Alright I'll ask the first question. How did we meet for the first time?"

Ash: "Well I remember finding you as a Charmander sitting on top or a rock waiting for your trainer Damian to show up. But it turned out that he abandoned you, then me, Brock and Misty had to go out in a storm to save you from your tail going out. After you found out the truth about Damian you let me catch you."

Totodile: "Wait if you're really Ash then why aren't you wearing your hat? Even when Ash got turned into a Pikachu for a day he still had it."

Ash: "Its to big for me now. Trust me if I had a Pichu size hat I wouldn't take it off."

Each Pokémon had their own question to ask with Ash answering 100% each time. Eventually were soon convinced that their trainer was the Pichu in front of them.
