Now for Chapter 2! Again, I don't own the idea of the story or the characters.

As the Nidoking continued to lead the pack of Pokémon away from their original home, something caught a Pichu's eye. "Hey Momma! Look over there!" The Pichu yelled, from on top of a Raichu's head, which was probably his Momma. Everyone looked to where the baby Pichu was pointing and sure enough, they saw the Nidoqueen, slowly, walking towards them, while looking at the human baby in her arms.

All the Pokémon surrounded her, as they gave out sighs of relief. The Nidoking turned around and saw his wife, harmless and safe. Looking down, he let out a big sigh, and looked up at the crowd forming around the Nidoqueen.

"Are you alright? We were so worried about you." Pokémon told the Nidoqueen.

The Nidoqueen nodded her head, and said, "No really. I'm fine. I just got a little…distracted." Saying that, she lowered her arm, revealing the human baby boy. The baby looked up at all the different Pokémon staring down at him, as they all gasped in shock.

The Raichu mother looked at it and stuttered, "Well, it's, uh,-." Her baby Pichu crawled off of her head and toward the baby, while another Pokémon talked.

"Well, it's just so…" A Delcatty said.

The Pichu stood in front of the baby and looked down at it. "It's freaky looking, if you ask me."

"Pichu!" The Raichu yelled.

"What? Look at it! I mean, what is it?" Pichu asked, getting closer to the baby.

The Nidoqueen laughed and took the baby from her arms. Then she raised it in front of Pichu. "It's a baby." She said, as she dropped the baby in Pichu's arms.

Pichu struggled as the baby started playing with his diamond-shaped ears. "Well, ow. I can't-!" Then as the baby calmed down and laughed, Pichu started smiling and looked up at the Nidoqueen. "So where's its Mommy?"

The Nidoqueen smiled, warmly, and said, "Let's just say I'm going to be his new Mommy."

Everyone winced a little in fear, while the Nidoking slowly made his way to Pichu, his wife, and the human baby. The Nidoking's eyes widened in shock and surprise as he looked at the baby, and then they narrowed, as he continued to walk toward them.

"You know it's not so bad, once you get used to it." Pichu replied, while still holding the baby. But as he saw the Nidoking making his way toward them, Pichu quickly gave the Nidoqueen the baby, and pointed at her. "Kala's his new Mommy." Then he ran back to his Momma.

The Nidoking moved his head to the baby and sniffed his hair. But he shook his head and grunted. Kala looked up at the Nidoking and said, "Kerchak, I saved him from the Houndoom."

Kerchak saw the hurt in Kala's eyes, and sighed. "Kala, this baby will not replace the one we lost."

Kala looked up at Kerchak. "I know, but-." Then she looked down at the baby in her arms, and hugged him, close. "He needs me."

Kerchak shook his head again, and said, "But Kala, look at it. It's not our kind. It's not even a Pokémon." Then he sighed and shook his head once more. "No. You have to take it back."

Kala's eyes widened in fear, as she looked at the baby and then Kerchak. "But he'll die."

"If the jungle wants him-." Kerchak said his back to Kala.

Kala looked at Kerchak, and forcefully, said, "I want him."

Kerchak turned around to face Kala, and said, "I don't want you putting our family in danger."

Kala raised the baby in front of her, and asked, "Does this look dangerous to you?"

Kerchak roared in anger, as it stomped over to Kala, causing the baby boy to cry in fear. Breathing heavily and calming down, Kerchak asked, "Was it alone?"

"Yes, the Houndoom killed his parents." Kala said, nodding her head.

Kerchak's eyes narrowed. "Are you sure?"

"Yes, there are no others." Kala said.

Kerchak sighed, and turned around. "Then you can keep him."

Kala smiled, brightly. "Oh Kerchak, thank you. I know he will be a good son."

"I said he could stay." Kerchak said, forcefully, turning his head to Kala. "That doesn't mean he's my son." Then turning to the other Pokémon, he said, "We shall rest here for the night." Then he led them to where to rest.

Kala sighed, and looked down as she saw Pichu looking at the baby again. "So? What are you going to call it?" Pichu asked, curiously.

Kala smiled, and said, "I think I'll name him… Ash."

Pichu gave a disgusted look and said, "Really? Oh well, it's your baby."

Suddenly, his mother came from behind him, and picked him up with her tail. "Alright, Pichu. Time to say good night." Then she set him down on her head.

"Aw mom." Pichu continued to whine. "Ten more minutes?"

"No." Raichu said.

"Five more minutes?"

"No."

"One more minute."

Kala smiled, as they continued to walk away from her. Then she set Ash on top of her shoulder, and started to walk. But as she walked, Ash slipped off her shoulder, and into Kala's hands. "Oh no." Kala said, as Ash started to cry in her hands. "Shush. Don't cry. I'm here."

Come, stop your crying

It'll be all right

Ash started to calm down as Kala started to sing for him. Kala put a claw in front of his face, as he grabbed it and examined it, curiously.

Just take my hand

Hold it tight

I will protect you

From all around you

Kala looked back at the original resting place that Kerchak had chosen and saw Kerchak glaring at her.

I will be here don't you cry

Then she set him against her shoulder and carried him away from the resting place. Instead, they slept by a big tree with a huge, shady canopy.

For one so small, you seem so strong

Kala took some leaves from the tree and set it on the ground for them to lie on.

My arms will hold you

Keep you safe and warm

This bond between us can't be broken

Igglybuffs came out from behind their mother, Wigglytuff, as they peered out and gazed at the human baby. As well as a Pidgey looked out from behind its mother, Pidgeotto.

I'll be here don't you cry

Kala pressed her face against Ash's, making him laugh and giggle.

Cause you'll be in my heart

Yes, you'll be in my heart

Kala started to play with Ash as Butterfrees flew bye, one landing on Ash's nose, and showing off its wings to Kala.

From this day on, now and forever more

Kala smiled at Ash, and set him down next to her as they started getting ready for bed.

You'll be in my heart

No matter what they say

Back at the original resting place, all of the Pokémon were getting ready for bed. Pichu grabbed a giant leaf and wrapped it around himself and his mother, using it as a blanket, as he nuzzled into her chest.

You'll be in my heart

Kala held Ash close as they started to drift off into sleep. Then she closed her eyes.

Always

"Always." Kala whispered, before finally, falling asleep.

Ten years later…

The sun shone brightly, on the plants and Pokémon, making the flowers open up in bloom.

Kala lay peacefully, by the big tree, as she slowly, opened her eyes. "Good morning, Ash." But no one replied back. Kala sat up and looked around. "Ash? Ash?" Kala started to gasp and look under the bedding she laid on.

Unknown to her, Ash was dangling on a vine behind her. Ash now had long, messy, raven-black hair. And the big white thing attached to him, didn't fit him anymore, so he now wore a brown loincloth. Ash snickered at his mother's worry, and loudly trumpeted like a Phanpy, making Kala jump and turn around, seeing her son laugh.

"I sure scared you, Mom." Ash said, as he was now upside down on the vine.

"Oh. You sure did." Kala said, smiling, as Ash started to climb onto her arm. "Why don't you try a quieter Pokémon?"

Ash started to touch her horn with his finger, as he whined. "Aw Mom. You're no fun. Hey, you wanna see me do a Gyarados?" Then Ash gave out a loud roar, much like a Gyarados's.

Kala laughed, and suggested, "Um, instead of that, how about you make your own sound?"

Ash jumped off of his mother, and ran away as he started yelling out sounds. Kala rolled her eyes, as her son ran off. Ash ran by a Weedle and its mother, Beedrill, a Vulpix and its mother, Ninetales, and an Electikid and its mother, Electabuzz. Once hearing Ash say the weird sounds, they turned away from their mothers and started saying the weird sounds as well. The mothers looked toward Kala, and scolded, "Kala!"

As Ash continued to make the weird sounds, he wasn't watching as to where he was going, and accidentally bumped into Kerchak's leg. Ash looked up and winced, as he saw Kerchak glaring down at him. "Oops." Ash said, quietly, as he slowly walked backwards.

"Ash!" Suddenly, Pichu came running from out of nowhere, jumped on Ash's shoulder and hugged his head. "Thank goodness you're all right! Don't ever scare us again! Kala and I have been so worried." Pichu started to fake a sob, as he held Ash close.

Pichu petted Ash's head of hair, and said, "Thank you, Kerchak. You are such a wise and caring leader." Kerchak rolled his eyes at Pichu. Then before running away, Pichu whispered in Ash's ear, "Run." Then he ran off.

Ash looked at the direction Pichu went, and then at Kerchak. "Oh. Um." Ash said, and then started to run.

Pichu behind a tree, saw Ash coming his way, and quickly grabbed onto his leg, knocking him down behind the tree. "Hello!" Pichu exclaimed, before crawling up on Ash's bare chest. "Are you knick in the head?"

"What?" Ash asked.

"How many times do I have to tell you? If you want Kerchak to like you, stay away from him." Then Pichu jumped off of Ash's chest, and onto the ground. Ash sat up, as he started hearing voices.

"Come on, Pichu! Step on it!" A nearby Squirtle yelled, as he ran away.

Running after he was a Charmander. "Last one there's a Grimer!"

Pichu looked at them, and smiled. "First one there's gotta clean it up! Ha ha ha!" Pichu said, as he started to run away from Ash.

Ash stood up, and said, "Pichu? Can I come?"

Pichu, nervously, turned around, and said, "Well, yeah, sure, you could if you could keep up. But you can't." Then he ran away from Ash, while saying, "Hey, wait up, you guys!" Ash looked down a little hurt by his comment, but then he looked up with determination.

Meanwhile, Charmander and Squirtle had made it to the wide, open field and were playing around. "Stop hitting yourself! Stop hitting yourself!" Squirtle said, as he grabbed Charmander's arm and made him punch himself in the face. Charmander, frustrated with his friend, used a light Flamethrower on Squirtle, making the water Pokémon release him.

Suddenly, Pichu jumped out from behind a bush, and proudly yelled out, "The fun has arrived! Thank you very much!"

Squirtle looked at him with frustration. "What took you so long?"

"I just had some business to take care of-!" Pichu said, before being accidentally pushed into his two friends. In Pichu's original place, was Ash, with twigs and leaves sticking out of his black hair.

"Hey guys!" Ash said, as he put on a smile.

Squirtle and Charmander got up from under Pichu, and put on disgusted looks. "Pichu, what is this?" Squirtle asked, gesturing toward Ash.

As Ash started to take the leaves and twigs from out of his hair, Charmander replied with, "Please tell me I'm not looking at the Hairless Wonder."

Ash looked at them, and kneeled down to their eye level. "Well, Pichu said that I could come if I could keep up." Pichu's eyes widened as he heard his friends groan behind his back.

"Don't worry I've got this." Pichu said, as he tried to comfort his friends. Then he walked up to Ash and grabbed his hand. Pichu led Ash away from the guys. "Listen, we have a tiny problem. You know I'd love to hang out with you. But my friends here, they need some time. Some convincing."

Ash looked down at Pichu, and asked, "Okay. What do I have to do?"

Pichu stopped in front of Ash, and started to scratch his head. "Do? Well, it's kinda stupid."

"What?" Ash asked, kneeling down to him, so he was exactly eye-level with Pichu.

Pichu started playing with the dirt, and accidentally broke off a chip of dirt off the ground. "Well, you gotta get a chip."

Ash looked at him, weirdly. "A chip?"

"Yep." Then Pichu's eyes widened as he heard the trumpet of a Donphan. "A chip of a Donphan's tusk." Ash looked around Pichu and saw Donphans rolling around in the dirt, fighting each other.

"A Donphan's tusk?" Ash asked, nervously.

Pichu took Ash's hand again, and led him away from the scene. "It's stupid, right? So just, go home, and I'll meet you there. Go on." Then he pushed Ash's back away from him, as he looked toward his two friends. "See I told you-." Pichu said, but was cut short by the sound of Ash yelling. Pichu watched Ash run away from them and to the scene.

"Ash, no!" Pichu yelled, as Ash ran off. But Ash's dignity was lost, when he tripped and fell face first into the dirt.

"Ooh." Squirtle and Charmander said. "That one hurt him." Charmander added.

Ash opened his eyes, and slowly got up. Pichu smiled, and said, "He's alive!"

"Hey guys!" Ash yelled, before turning back around to the Donphans.

"No. No. Ash! Come back! Come back!" Pichu yelled, but Ash didn't listen.

Squirtle walked away from Pichu, as he said, "This guy's great. You should bring him around more, if he's still alive. Now let's get a front row seat." Charmander followed Squirtle, as Pichu put on a fake smile. Once they were out of sight, he looked back at the direction Ash went, and sighed.

Ash got down on his stomach to prevent from being seen and crawled toward the Donphans. Meanwhile, a baby Phanpy was on the sidelines, watching his mother, Donphan, talk with other Donphans. "Mom, are you sure it's safe?"

"It's okay, Honey." His mother, Donphan said.

"But it's really dangerous." The Phanpy said.

His mother looked at him, and said, "Tantor, Mommy's talking." Tantor glared at his mother, but then saw Ash creeping behind one of the Donphans.

Tantor gasped and quickly ran toward them. "Hey! Watch out! There's a giant! Coming right behind you!" Tantor started to grab onto his mother's trunk with his.

"Honey, Mommy's losing her patience." His mother, Donphan, replied.

Tantor looked up at his mother, and said, "But this time, I really see something!"

"Oh boy." His mother said, frustrated. Tantor saw Ash again, trying to get a chip off of a Donphan's tusk.

"A giant, it's a giant!" Tantor screamed.

His mother tried to calm him down. "Tantor, there are no giants in the jungle."

One of the Donphans looked at her in shock, and said, "Don't tell the kid that. Of course, there are giants in the jungle."

Another Donphan spoke. "No, she's right; they usually live in the Sinnoh Region." While they spoke, Ash kept trying to get a chip off one of the Donphans' tusks without them seeing him. But Tantor saw Ash's hand reach for one of the Donphans' tusks and screamed again.

"Giant! It's a giant! Run!" Tantor yelled, accidentally trumpeting his trunk.

"For the last time, Honey!" His mother said, frustrated. "There are no giants in the-."

"My trunk! Somebody's got my trunk!" One of the Donphans screamed and ran, as he swung his trunk around with Ash attached to it. Then the Donphan whipped his trunk in the air, flinging Ash off of him. Ash screamed as he fell to the center of the Donphans.

"It's a giant!" Tantor yelled, pointing at Ash with his trunk.

All the Donphans turned around, looking on the outside of them, as they heard a thud in the center of them. They all turned around, as Ash sat up, raised his head, and grunted, revealing his mouth full of teeth.

The Donphans trumpeted in fear. "Giant!" Then they all started rolling around in the dirt, running away from Ash. Ash tried to get up, but kept getting run over by all the Donphans.

"I told you!" Tantor exclaimed, as they all ran away, along with some other Pokémon, who also, got scared by the giant.

Squirtle, Charmander, and Pichu watched them rampage and run. "He's dead." Squirtle whispered. Suddenly, the Donphans came rolling toward them. "We're dead!" Squirtle and Charmander screamed, as they and Pichu ran away from the stampede.

Pichu quickly jumped to the sideline and climbed up a tree, breathing heavily.

"We didn't do it! They did it!" Squirtle and Charmander yelled, as they ran past the Pokémon from their pack. The Pokémon all yelled in terror and ran, mothers grabbing for their babies, as the stampede came towards them.

Kerchak quickly ran to the sidelines. But suddenly, he saw a baby Eevee, who was just about to be killed by a rolling Donphan. Kerchak quickly ran into the stampede and grabbed the Eevee, before it could get hurt, and ran to the sidelines once more.

Dust clouds faded, as the stampede passed. Kerchak handed the small baby Eevee to its mother, a Flareon. "Thank you, Kerchak." The mother said, as she grabbed her baby with her mouth. Kerchak nodded and then looked away from the mother and to the direction in which the stampede started.

Meanwhile, Pichu was pulling on Ash's foot to get him to the sidelines, but was struggling. "Ash? Ash, come on. Don't do this to me." Pichu let go of Ash's foot and jumped on his chest, looking at his unconscious friend.

Suddenly, Pichu was pulled off of him by a trunk. "Get away from him. Don't you know a giant when you see one?" Tantor asked, after he set Pichu down, away from Ash.

Pichu pushed him away, and jumped back on Ash's chest. "He's not a giant!"

Pichu looked down as he saw and heard Ash cough up dirt. Pichu gasped, and hugged Ash's head as he sat up. "He's alive. He's alive!"

But then Pichu let go of Ash's head, and jumped down on the ground in front of him. "You idiot! You nearly gave me a heart attack! Besides, I bet you didn't even get a chip." Pichu crossed his arms, as he glared up at Ash.

Ash looked in his hand, and smiled. "Oh really?" Ash asked, as he opened his hand in front of Pichu. Pichu looked inside and saw a small chip from a Donphan's tusk.

Pichu gasped. "I don't believe it. You got the chip?"

Tantor walked in between them, and asked, "Is that what this is all about? I have two tusks full of chips." Ash, Pichu, and Tantor laughed.

Suddenly, Ash and Pichu turned their heads as they saw Pokémon coming. "Ash! Pichu! Oh no!" The Pokémon said, as Kala and Pichu's mother, the Raichu, quickly walked towards them.

Tantor winced a little, and asked, "Who's that?"

"My Mom." Ash and Pichu said in unison.

Ash and Pichu waved their hands/paws sheepishly. "Hi Mom." Ash said.

"Hi Aunt Kala." Pichu said.

Kala rushed up to Ash and inspected him. "Ash? What happened?" She asked. Ash was about to answer when Pichu climbed on top of his head, and spoke.

"You see, it's sorta a long story. What happened was-." Pichu started, but was interrupted by Kerchak, who was now on the scene.

"What happened?" Kerchak asked, forcefully.

Pichu shut his mouth, and jumped off of Ash's head, as Ash started to move. "It's my fault, Kerchak." Ash said, moving toward the Nidoking. "You see? We were playing and-." Ash said, as he tried to touch Kerchak's hand, but Kerchak moved it away.

Kerchak glared down at Ash, and said, "You almost killed someone."

"It was an accident." Ash said, as Kala came up from behind him.

Kala put her arm in front of Ash. "He's just a child."

"That's no excuse. You can't keep sticking up for him!" Kerchak said, angrily.

"He will learn." Kala said.

"He will never learn. He can't learn to be one of us."

"If you give him a chance-."

"Give him a chance? Kala look at him." Kerchak said, as Ash felt tears forming in his eyes. "He will never be one of us." After hearing this, Ash shoved his mother's arm away from him and ran.

"Ash." Kala said, as she watched her confused child run away from her.

Well, this was a pretty long chapter. But anyways, hope you liked it and please review! ^^
