Dustchu: Yeah, wrote another chapter by gum: D

Eli: good for you guy, when do I get to eat?

Dustchu: Um, I don't know. Go eat now.

*Eli sprints off with a bag of Doritos Cackling*

Pikachu: Pika! *Runs after him*

Dustchu: Pfft! Kids, ARCEUS! DISCLAIMER!

Arceus: *Sigh* Mortals. Dustchu does not own Pokémon.

Dustchu: When its Pikachu's Pov then you can understand her, when it's Eli's or third person Pov you can't. Now on with the show!

Eli Pov

"Man my back hurts." I groaned mentally as I sat up, last night I put Pikachu to sleep in my bed and so here I am on the couch, hard piece of crap. I rubbed the back of my neck to try and rid it of an aching feeling that was creeping up it. I gazed out the window and saw it was rather earlier seeing how the sun had yet to rise all the way, it cast a small glow through the window giving the place a rather dull feel to it.

I stood up off the couch and popped my joints and stretched a bit before going into the bathroom to wash my face, as I did I look in the mirror. "Huh, that's weird" I said, my Irises seemed a little brighter than usual and I looked a little better than I did yesterday. I'm not the healthiest person, given my situation but I work out from time to time when I get the chance. My skin was always rather pale and I looked like a zombie half the time. But now my skin had more color to it making me look a little better. "Cool."

I then went about getting ready for the day. I brushed my teeth and gathered up my clothes from two days ago and put them in a basket along with some washing powder I got from my neighbor who was nice enough to let me use it and I walked past my room that had Pikachu asleep in it. I cracked the door open just a bit and saw my pillow steadily rising with each breath. I closed it slowly and walked to the door but then thought, how would she react if I was gone without telling her where I went.

I put the basket down and grabbed a pen and a note pad and wrote where I was going so she wouldn't freak out. Probably will though. I put the note where she'll see it if she gets up after I leave and picked the basket back up and walked out door.

I locked it and headed down the steps and saw Barry talking to my neighbor, they both noticed me. "Well hey there Eli my boy, how are you today?" Barry asked me, tilting his hat.

I nodded back at him. "I'm doing alright sir. You doing good?" I asked politely.

"Can't complain much." He replied leaning back in his chair. "What'cha got there?" he asked, gesturing to the basket.

I propped it on my hip freeing my right. "Just getting some of my clothes washed, they've gotten pretty dirty." I replied, pulling out a dirty shirt.

"Well you best get those cleaned, don't want your dirty undergarments stinking up my lobby." He told me with a grin.

"Ha-Ha funny." I put the shirt up to my nose and inhaled deep, the smell made me cringe which did not go unnoticed by the two. "Doesn't smell that bad." I told them to which they started laughing.

"Well you have fun." Barry said.

"I will I guess." I replied going downstairs, the washroom for the tenants was located in the basement, I didn't really like going down there it is one of my least favorites in the whole building. One of the reasons was caused it smelled. God it is horrible. Like something died down there or something. With great reluctance, I moved towards the washing machines.

I noticed that the window in here was open, it should be locked. "Guess Barry noticed the smell finally and opened it to let the smell out." I thought as I loaded up my laundry, after I did I threw in some washing powder and put a dollar's worth of quarters into the slot. It struggled a bit but eventually started up.

I walked over to another washing machine and leaned on it and thought with a yawn. "Man today has just started and I'm already tired. Wonder why?" I then heard a clattering sound coming from the closet down here. The sound startled me causing me to knock a box of something off. I looked towards the closet door, it was open a little.

I grabbed a pipe that was conveniently lying on the floor next to me, I sneaked towards the door very slowly. It must have come in through the window. "With my luck it's probably a rabid Raccoon or something." I reached the door and slowly put my hand on the door knob. "Please don't be a rabid Raccoon. Please don't be a rabid Raccoon. Please don't be a rabid Raccoon." I pleaded with the gods. Believe or not, Raccoons scare me.

I yanked on the door and looked inside Pipe at the ready. What I saw shocked me. It was a Growlithe! It looked at me as it was in a defensive stance and growled at me. "Whoa, calm down little guy. I'm not going to hurt you." It didn't look convinced… Because I saw it preparing a flamethrower. "Crap." Was all I mutter

Pikachu Pov

"AHHHHHHHHHHHH!" I bolted up from under the pillow and looked around.

I shook my body to rid it of the leftover feelings of sleep before rubbing my eyes and yawning. "What was that?" I thought as I hopped off the bed and went into the living room and looked for Eli, he wasn't there! "Where is he?" I wondered. I saw a note on the fridge.

"Pikachu, went to go wash some clothes downstairs in the basement. Be back soon, so don't freak!" it read.

"But who yelled?" I wondered, I then thought about the yell, it came from downstairs! "Eli!" I ran for the Door but then remembered, can't open it.

"Damn." I turned around and ran for the window, it was left open a crack. I hopped onto the sill and squeezed through it until I found myself on the ledge, I looked down and I was really high up. "Maybe this was a bad idea." I muttered, if I fell that's the end of me. But I steeled myself and moved along it, I saw several birds on the ledge in front of me that looked like Pidgey, but they were smaller and colored sliver.

"Cooo." It said, looking at me with its head tilted at me.

"Uh, can you move?" I asked politely. It stared for a moment before flying off. "Thanks, I guess." I said followed by "Weird ass looking Pidgey." I thought.

I continued moving along the ledge, being careful not to fall off. I do not want to be a Pika pancake right now. I reached another window and looked inside, the door in there was open. I saw that this window was open just enough for me to try and open it. I gripped the bottom of the window with both paws and pulled up as hard as I could, which my arm protested against.

But I pushed past the pain and lifted the window and crawled inside, the inside was filled with cardboard boxes and empty food containers. "Whoever lives here is a slob! Jeez what a mess." I exclaimed, the smell of rotten food hit my nose like a tidal wave of stink.

I grasped my nose in a feeble attempt to block out the smell "GOOD ARCEUS! IT'S WORSE THEN A MUK IN HEAT!" I quickly ran for the door and ran out of the room and down the stairs. I reached the bottom and breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank Arceus." I gasped as I breathed in somewhat fresh air.

I stood in the lobby of the apartment building, it was empty. I looked around for a door that would lead to the basement, there were five doors, one lead outside, the other said 'Janitor's closet'

I looked and saw one that had a foul smell coming from it, I walked over to it and smelled Eli's scent coming from inside, along with another Pokémon! I jumped up and grabbed onto the doorknob, I almost slipped off but I managed to twist it enough to open it.

I let go and looked inside, I saw more stairs. "I hate stairs." With that thought I hopped down the stairs and into the basement. Arceus does it smell down here, not as bad as that room I was in before but still. The floor was ice cold and the smell of detergent was in the air.

I heard a clattering sound and ran over to the source of it, there on the ground was Eli, his clothes were singed and he had a couple of burns on him. On top of him, with its jaw clamped down on Eli's neck, was a Growlithe. Blood was trickling out of the Growlithe's maw and it had a crazed look in its eye.

"Eli!" I yelled

Third Person Pov

"Shit this hurts!" Eli thought as the Growlithe tightened its grip around his neck cutting off any air to his lungs.

He was about to try and yell for help but then he heard. "Pika!" he looked to his left and there was Pikachu, she was on all fours in a defensive stance and sparks were crackling from her cheeks. The Growlithe didn't acknowledge her presence.

Eli managed to look at her and mutter four words. "Pikachu. Use Thunderbolt now!"

Pikachu didn't hesitate. She charged up a thunderbolt and sent it flying towards the Growlithe, it was struck by the thunderbolt and let out a howl of pain as its body started convulsing and it fell off of Eli, who was also struck.

"DAMN IT ALL TO HELL!" Eli yelled, of course it was all in his head as his body was too busy convulsing and he was too busy yelled in pain, eventually he stopped and he lay motionless on the floor.

Pikachu stared wide eyed at what happened. She couldn't believe what she had done, she had shocked the person who took her in and healed her. She had only meant to shock just the Growlithe but shocked Eli too. "Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no! ELI!" she yelled in her head as she ran over to him. What if she had killed him!

He had scorch marks all over his body and he smelled like soot and Ozone. Thankfully he opened his eyes and sat up much to the relief of Pikachu who started crying softly, he shook his head a couple of times which produced a blubbering sound coming from him.

He looked down at the Pikachu who had tears in her eyes, Eli gave her a one of his goofy grins and patted her on the head. He looked absolutely ridiculous, his hair was standing on edge and pointed n several directions and he was twitching. "Wo-wow, that w-w-was a str-strong thunderbolt." He started. "Thanks f-for th-the help bu-buddy." He said in between twitches.

Pikachu looked up at him with teary eyes and muttered in between sobs. "Pika chu pika pi." "I'm sorry! I didn't mean to shock you! It was an accident."

Eli didn't understand Pokéspeak but he understood what she said. "It's alright, I know it was an accident. I'm alright." He assured her as he wiped her tears away.

She nodded and managed a weak smile as Eli looked over at the stunned Growlithe. It stood on shaky legs before giving Pikachu a death glare who gave it one of her own.

Eli Pov

"Whew, do I hurt." I thought as I looked over my injuries, they weren't too bad.

I then directed my attention over to the Growlithe, I decided to try and speak to it again. "Listen, we're not going to hurt you, so just chill alright." Again it didn't listen as it shot another flamethrower at me and Pikachu before running past us and jumping out the open basement window. "Well shit, that's just great." I muttered. I looked at Pikachu and she sighed as if she knew what I was thinking said. "Yeah, come on." I told her as we went back up the steps.

When we entered the lobby and Barry and my Neighbor were gone. "Where's they go?" I thought as I ran outside, I looked to the left and then to the right and saw the Growlithe running out of the alleyway the basement was at and running down a street, I sighed and ran after it with Pikachu in tow.

"This is not going to be fun!" I yelled. Running was not my strong suit. I mean I can run, I just don't want too. Too much work. I ran and ran after the Growlithe, but damn could it run!

Of course the appearance of an orange dog got some people freaked out a bit… But now it decided to start setting shit on fire. "Fan-freaking-Tastic!"I yelled, passing a car that was set ablaze. The owner was stringing together various insults and curse words much to my amusement.

Several people were looking our way and getting a little wide-eyed at the large yellow creature at my side as we passed by them. "Probably don't know what a Pokémon is." I thought as I ran.

The Growlithe was zigzagging past cars In the street and almost getting run over, some cars skidded to a stop while others crashed.

A car was coming my way and skidded to a stop in front of me, I jumped on the hood and slid over it as Pikachu leaped over it in a single bound. We both immediately began running as soon as we landed.

The yells of people who crashed into each other filled my ears and man, were they pissed! I saw to people throwing punches. "Short fuse." I thought as I saw a tooth flying out of someone's mouth.

As we were running sirens filled the air. "Oh crap!" I yelled as two Police cars drove out of in front of me, they sped into the street leaving behind skid marks. I looked up ahead and saw the Growlithe make a left turn down the street that led to my school.

"This way!" I told Pikachu as we turned left and went into an alleyway, it was filled with trash and a large chain link fence blocked the other side. I kept running and leapt up at it and gripped the top and swung my legs over, I righted myself and landed on the ground with a thump as Pikachu landed on my shoulder and onto the ground.

We resumed running as the more sirens joined the first two. I looked and saw a couple of SWAT trucks heading for the school. "All this because of a Growlithe, and how did they get here so fast anyway?" I wondered, instead of going along the main road to the school I headed down a side path I found a while back that led to the school.

One Minute Later

Me and Pikachu, after another minute of running made it to the school just in time to see about ten police officers running around the back of the school chasing the Growlithe, they were armed with shotguns and pistols. I looked at Pikachu and said. "I have a feeling this is gonna end badly." She nodded in agreement and we ran over there as the Growlithe ran inside a back door that was left open.

Seeing how the Police officers were going in through the door I needed a different route. I spotted window and ran for it, I ran up the wall and used the momentum to jump, and I gripped the edge. I put all my strength into it and pulled myself up as Pikachu latched onto my shirt.

With a grunt I pulled myself up and through the window and landed on the floor with a tap that echoed throughput the empty halls. The school was in the dark. "Still no power I guess." I thought as I ran through the dark halls with Pikachu riding my shoulders.

I grinned. "Now I know how Ash feels right now." I thought as my grin turned into a smile. My thoughts were interrupted when I heard the footfalls of someone. I quickly ducked into an empty classroom and waited for them to pass. I saw that it was the police, only five? "They must have split up to cover more ground." I thought as I watched the officers walk past with their flashlights and guns drawn.

I looked over at Pikachu who looked visibly scared of the firearms they had, I patted her and told her in a whisper. "Don't worry, I won't let them hurt you. I'll kick their asses if they even try." I finished with a smile. Pikachu returned it and we crept out of the room as soon as the officers turned around a corner.

"Pikachu, don't suppose you could sniff put the Growlithe could you?" I asked nicely, she tilted her head and gave me a look that said 'What do you think I am a dog or something?'she shook her head as dropped on all fours and started sniffing around for the Growlithe's scent, she left the room and I followed her through the halls.

We walked past several empty class rooms and lockers until Pikachu stopped and looked to the right. It was a door that led to the basement and it was open. Pikachu pointed to it and said. "Pika pi"

"Well, this'll be pleasant." I muttered sarcastically. "And I don't have a flashlight either." I added looking down into the darkness. Just then I saw a glow out of the corner of my eyes, I looked and saw Pikachu was glowing! Well her cheeks anyway. "Since when could you do that?" I asked amazed, I didn't know Pikachu could do that, her cheeks were glowing a bright white that went about five feet in every direction.

She shrugged and went down into the basement as I shook my head and followed her. The basement was just that, a big basement. Boxes and crates and so on were down here along with doors and the occasional drip of loose pipes, and our footsteps of course. We walked for about a minute all the while smelling something that filled the basement air, it smelled familiar.

Then we heard growling. We stopped and looked behind us and saw the Growlithe in a battle stance. Pikachu copied it.

"Will you just calm down, we're not going to hurt you." I told it in a friendly manner. I was about to say something else but the smell hit my nose again, I finally realized what it was. it was gas! "Gas leak!?" I thought. Then I heard running footfalls coming from behind me. I whipped around and saw someone running away from a room that held one of many gas valves.

I turned around just in time to see the Growlithe prepare a flamethrower and Pikachu sparking. "Shit." Was all I could mutter as an explosion rocked the basement sending me flying and knocking me against a wall, then everything went black.

A/n Dustchu: Boom baby! Got this done sucka!

Dustchu: What did I do?

Eli: Um, let's see. Um YOU BLEW ME AND PIKACHU UP!
