Hey guys, it's been a couple days so I have another chapter all written up.
Sceptile: It's been 4 days actually….
scarcrow151: Oh quiet you… Anyway this chapter will drift away from the plot a bit so bear with me.
Sceptile: scarcrow151 does not own pokemon
Pikachu woke up to sunlight on his face. His pillow was still moist from his tears. Rubbing his red eyes, he got up and saw he was the first one awake. Good, Pikachu thought to himself. Getting up he walked towards the table with the cards. He knew Ash would keep the cards in his backpack, but Pikachu wanted to keep the note in a safe place. Pikachu took the note over to the backpack. Usually Ash keeps little stuff in his bag, as he tends to lose a lot of his clothes on his journey. With the free space though, Ash will put stuff his friend give him or Pikachu. But Ash also lets Pikachu put whatever he wants in the first pocket. Usually Pikachu will snag a few ketchup packets from pokemon centers to put in there, but Pikachu folded the note in half and stuck it in the front pocket, just so he knew Ash or Dawn wouldn't touch it. Right after he did this, he heard the door open and Nurse Joy walked in.
"Alright everyone, time to wake up," Nurse Joy called. Everyone woke up groggily from Nurse Joy's calling. Well, mostly everyone.
"Oh Nurse Joy, after a night of dreaming about you, to see the real thing is the greatest-" Brock was cut off as he crumpled from one of Croagunk's Poison Jabs.
"(It's too early…..for this shit)" Croagunk muttered, dragging Brock away from the nurse. Ash and Dawn laughed awkwardly before getting up and stretching. Dawn got right to brushing her hair. Brock, now recovered, headed towards the kitchen to offer Nurse Joy and Chansey a helping hand. Croagunk followed him silently, just in case Brock tried getting a little too helpful. Ash started polishing his badges, waiting for breakfeast to be ready. Most of the pokemon fell back asleep, Pachirisu and Buizel not waking up in the first place, cuddling with each other. Only Pikachu, Infernape, Togekiss, and Sudowoodo were awake right now. Pikachu got up and walked over to Infernape.
"(I'm going to apologize to Buneary today.)" Pikachu said quietly to Infernape. Infernape nodded.
"(Yeah, I guess it's been long enough. Though don't be surprised if she doesn't want to speak to you at all.)" Infernape warned. Pikachu nodded sadly, recalling Buneary's words yesterday.
"(Yeah,)" Pikachu said distantly. Getting up to go apologize, he was stopped by Infernape's hand on his shoulder.
"(Good luck Pikachu,)" Infernape said gently. Pikachu nodded and walked over to Buneary's pokeball. He was stopped however when Ash picked him up from behind.
"(How are you feeling Pikachu?)" Ash asked.
"(I'm fine Ash, I'm feeling 100%.)" Pikachu said impatiently. Ash nodded with a determined smile on his face.
"Good, because we're going back to training today, and I'm thinking about starting right now." Ash said.
"(Right now?)" Pikachu repeated in disbelief.
"Yep, so wake the others up and meet me outside." Ash said excitedly. Running outside, Ash was muttering battle strategies under his breath. Pikachu sighed in annoyance, before turning to Infernape.
"(I guess it'll have to wait.)" Pikachu muttered. Infernape nodded and woke up Torterra and Staraptor. Pikachu walked over to Buizel, who had his arm around Pachirisu.
"(Buizel wake up,)" Pikachu said, shaking the weasel pokemon. Buizel rolled away from Pachirisu, and hung on to Pikachu's arm
"(Oh, Pachi you always know the right places,)" Buizel muttered in his sleep. Pikachu, at his breaking point let out a small Thunderbolt, waking up Buizel.
"(Dude, what the fuck?!)" Buizel yelled, still fried from the attack. Pachirisu got up from his yelling, only to throw up uncontrollably. Buizel was instantly at her side, rubbing her back.
"(Pachi are you okay?)" Buizel asked soothingly while Pachirisu nodded. Dawn noticed her pokemon vomiting and went to get Nurse Joy. Ash ran in as Dawn left.
"Guy what's-" He abruptly stopped as he noticed the squirrel vomiting. Noticing the serious of the situation, but not knowing what to do, Ash went to look for Dawn and Nurse Joy. All three came in a few minutes later. After getting Buizel away from her, Nurse Joy checked her over. After a few moments she looked up in complete shock.
"What is it, Nurse Joy?" Dawn asked worriedly. She almost had tears her eyes, scared for her pokemon. The only one more nervous than her was Buizel. Though he wasn't crying, he grabbed at his floatation sacs.
"Well, it seems that Pachirisu here is pregnant. She's almost due too, didn't you notice her stomach bulging?" Nurse Joy asked. She didn't' get an answer as stunned silence filled the room. They had in fact noticed her stomach getting a bit bigger, but didn't think nothing about it. The pokemon didn't think that Buizel and Pachirisu did anything that extreme yet.
"(….Congrats Buizel,)" Torterra said, breaking the long silence. Another long silence came before Dawn let out a squeal.
"Oh I can't wait till the baby is born, how long till she's due?" Dawn asked, excitement shining in her eyes.
"Well, pokemon are not pregnant very long, so I'm guessing a week or so." Nurse said. "I'll take her to her own room, so she can relax." Dawn nodded and woke her other pokemon up telling them the good news, even letting out Buneary. Once she told them she walked off with Nurse Joy, Ash following. Pikachu didn't notice however, as he patted Buizel on the back.
"(Way to go, Buizel!)" Pikachu said, grinning at his friend. Infernape bore a similar grin. Buizel however, wore an expression no pokemon has seen him wear before; fear. He was sweating nervously, and stuttering horribly.
"(I-I'm going t-to be a d-d-dad? How, I don't know h-how. My dad left w-when I was a baby.) Buizel keeled over, feeling a little queasy.
"(Buizel, you got to calm down, listen Pachirisu needs you right now. She can't have you blubbering like this. You're going to be fine, and if you ever need help, you know we'll be right here to help you out.)" Infernape said. Buizel looked at him for a moment, before nodding.
"(You're right Infernape, I'm going to be the world's best dad, I'm-)" Buizel fainted halfway through speaking as realization slowly sunk in. Infernape rolled his eyes.
"(He'll be fine when he wakes up.) Infernape assured. Pikachu chuckled before noticing Buneary was out of her ball. He gulped as she looked over at him and narrowed her eyes before turning away with a huff. Pikachu sighed sadly before he heard Ash and Dawn walk back in.
"Alright guys we're all going outside for some training, except Buizel. So let's go!" Ash called out to the pokemon. They all nodded and followed him. During the training session, Pikachu found himself messing up quite a bit, mostly due to Buneary's glare on his back. Luckily for him, Ash didn't notice.
"(Pikachu, Thunderbolt!)" Ash called. Unleashing a powerful Thunderbolt, he shattered a boulder. He landed, happy with himself until he heard a cry of pain from where one of the boulders landed.
"(Owwww, what the hell)" A sneasel, came out of the bushes, shaking its head. A trainer followed it worriedly. She was a trainer about Ash and Dawn's age with shoulder length blonde hair. She wore a red coat and black trousers.
"Sneasel, are you okay?" She asked worriedly. She picked up her Sneasel and checked it all around. The Sneasel rubbed its head.
"(Yeah, I'm fine…) Sneasel muttered, before glaring at Pikachu. "(Why don't you watch it next time?)" He sneered at Pikachu. Pikachu flattened his ears in annoyance.
"(Sorry,)" He muttered.
"Sorry about that, we're just practicing for my Sunyshore Gym Battle. I'm Ash, and this is Pikachu." Pikachu nodded in turn.
"I'm Dawn, I'm getting ready for the grand festival." Dawn said, smiling. The other girl smiled back.
"Hello, I'm Amber and this is my partner Sneasel." She said, bowing her head. Sneasel bowed his head as well. The pokemon each walked up to Sneasel in turn, greeting him. When Buneary went to greet him, she stopped in her tracks.
"(Asher?)" She asked in shocked. Sneasel's eyes went wide when he saw her as well.
"(Kate?)"
