"Pika"
"Shoot"
Ash looked behind him and sure enough, it was the same Pikachu that dealt him great misfortune. It stood silently with its tail up high. How did he know it was the same Pikachu? Well, he couldn't forget those eyes that instilled fear in him a year ago. As a few seconds went by, the cold air creeped slowly from the sky to the crust of the Earth, which sent chills up Ash's spine. He literally couldn't move at the moment.
The Pikachu stepped forward, a dark hue surrounded it. The sky went darker and heavier, Ash desperately looked for help but he was too far away from his home and his town. Lightning suddenly cracked the sky, he was secretly amazed at how much power this single Pokemon could cause to the environment around it but he couldn't argue, Pikachus weren't called 'Lightning mice' for nothing and this one wasn't the average one you usually see.
He readied himself and stepped back a little as he shook uncontrollably but he stood his ground. The electric mouse suddenly ran at him at great speeds and tackled him to the ground. He screamed in surprise and tried to kick the rodent away but it held on.
The Pikachu bit his arm painfully in which Ash responded with a loud scream of agony, but he didn't give in just yet. With his willpower, he grabbed the Cherish ball and captured the Pokemon. It disappeared into the ball with a single 'ding'.
He sighed and rubbed his arms. 'H-how?" He asked himself, he panted heavily and tiredly picked himself up. He wrapped his arm with spare clothing in his bag to negate the bleeding. He attached the ball on his belt and proceeded his way towards Viridian center.
The dark sky dispersed, the lightning burned out and the Pokemon went back to their homes as they sensed the danger had been neutralized. Ash looked at clear heaven and saw a rainbow and next to it was a colorful bird.
He gasped when he realized what creature was that. "I just seen Ho-oh" He pathetically said to himself, and then Ho-oh vanished in the rainbow. A feather floated down and to Ash's hands. He stared at the feather in disbelief until he composed himself and pocketed the feather.
"Well, I need to show this to ma later" He smiled and trudged on again. The encounter with Ho-oh made him temporarily forget about that dangerous Pikachu and the power he unknowingly was given to him.
Viridian City- Pokemon Center
"How did you get this wound anyway?" A pink haired nurse asked. Ash shrugged, "A really weird Pikachu jumped at me and bit my arm, I don't know why though"
"You need to be more careful Ash" She wasn't really paying any attention to the boy but just cleaned up his wound and wrapped a bandage on the arm.
"Thanks Nurse Joy" He flexed his arms and he felt no pain. Nurse Joy packed up her first aid and smiled in response.
"Are you vaccinated already?" He squirmed in his seat and scratched his head. She sighed, "Where did you put it" He pointed at one of the pockets of his bag. Th
She zipped opened the bag and took his vaccine and a spare clean needle. "Stay still" She injected the vaccine in Ash's arm. He bit his lips and cringed strongly as he felt the medicine flowing through his veins.
"If you are to start a journey, you need to be more responsible Ash" She scolded, he couldn't argue though, she was right. Nurse Joy left the room with her first aid pack.
He rubbed his arm and placed back the kit containing the vaccine in his bag. As he organized his things, his hand softly contacted on the ball that was attached on his belt. He froze, the Pikachu, whom cost him great pain was in a ball.
This gave him two options, one to destroy the ball and be done with his journey but end the Pokemon that dealt much damage to him or to keep and continue his journey but let the Pikachu live. He shook his head, why would he think of that? He couldn't kill a Pokemon, evil or not, it's inhumane.
But he couldn't keep this as a secret, he had to surrender it to Nurse Joy and let her take care of this dangerous Pokemon since he was incapable of handling such level and he knew this. He nodded to himself and wore his bag, he had a plan.
He exited the operating room and headed towards the counter where Nurse Joy usually was. But halfway there, a huge explosion racked the halls of the center. He tumbled down due to the immense force but he steadily rose up.
He ran towards the counter and there he saw an expanding volume of smoke. He coughed and covered his nose, another explosion occurred which blasted him away to a wall. He saw three figures, one that seemed like a lady, another seemed like a man and last a Meowth.
"Prepare fo- trouble" His consciousness was fading quickly.
"Mak-t double" He couldn't hear clearly at this point. He then felt himself being dragged away but he passed out.
He gasped and panted heavily, he first saw a desperate Nurse Joy typing incredulously fast on her computer. He sat up and tried to stand up but knelt down in sudden pain. His vision was still impaired and his hearing hadn't still fully healed due to the explosion.
But before he could react, the doors far to his right exploded which showed a large Ekans and a ball-like Pokemon, he was unfamiliar of this since he had never met such a Pokemon before.
Nurse Joy stared at the two Pokemon in horror as she pressed the last buttons to… "Transport complete" A monotone voice echoed through the room. Three people entered the room suddenly amidst the tense atmosphere.
"You know it's rude to not listen to a person, right James?"
"I certainly agree Jessie"
"Cut it to the chase you two, where are the loot?!" The Meowth shouted, wait shouted?
Even with all the pain that were currently surging in him, he couldn't help but ask "Did… You j-just talk?".
"Ya twerp, now surrender it"
I sat down in exhaustion; Nurse Joy was too shocked to move.
"Wh-what it… are you talking ab-out, and who are you e-e-exactly?" He nervously reached for the ball on his belt, he prayed that this would work or atleast work like he imagined it.
Nurse Joy finally snapped out of her stupor and ran to Ash, "It's gone! You can't get anything here now!" She shouted at the trio but they were stubborn like born stubborn.
"Oh really? Then what is that! Haha!" Like they discovered the first ever Pokemon, they all in unison pointed at the Pokeball I held. In sudden surprise, I threw the ball and said the words, "Go Pikachu!"
It opened and let out a flash of white light, the light materialized and it formed Dark Pikachu, or what he now named it to be. The Pikachu took a huge step back and readied his tail, all the lights, electronics or anything that have any source of light immediately disappeared. The room was dark except for the dim dark aura of Pikachu.
"It's you" They growled in unison, he thought for a slight moment that they would be better in a dance routine but pushed it away. The Pikachu growled back and began to charge a heavy lightning in its tail.
Ash slowly stood back up but Nurse Joy tried to keep him down. Not even thinking, he shouted towards the Pokemon, "Pikachu, use Thundershock!" It roared its name and released a Thundershock that shook the whole center.
The trio was sent flying away with an echo of, "Team Rocket is blasting off!" And they vanished from the sky. Blown back from the force of the Thundershock, Ash returned the Pikachu hastily where which it just stood quietly.
"What just happened?" Nurse Joy asked, he shrugged and rested his head on the wall. But suddenly the building started to collapse. They ran out of the structure just in a nick of time before it fully collapsed.
They heard sirens from police cars and ambulances and soon they arrived. Officer Jenny questioned the boy but was countered by Nurse Joy. While Ash was being healed by some nurses, Nurse Joy approached him and gestured them away.
She sat beside Ash and looked at him, "I guess that's the same Pikachu that attacked you last year" She asked. He stared at her in disbelief, "How did you know?"
"Well, it was quite obvious"
"Oh, I thought, I was the only one that noticed that" He chuckled and rested his back on the ambulance.
"So I guess, you'll be continuing on your journey now?" Even though it was night, he still need to trudge on.
"Yes, Nurse Joy, and thanks for everything" He smiled and stood up.
"I should be the one saying that, have a safe journey and may we cross paths again, Ash" She shook his hands.
"I look forward to that" He then walked away the area, he glanced back and saw Nurse Joy waving at him, he waved back happily. He knew his journey would not be easy but he knew he could get past it.
Viridian Forest- The next day
After a tiring night in the woods, Ash was ecstatic for the day. This day, his goal was to catch a Pokemon, Pidgey, Caterpie or what not, atleast one Pokemon he could catch, he would be happy but his problem was how?
He couldn't use his Pikachu as he feared it would not listen to him and start a rampage. Because of that he would rely to the 'old ways' of catching Pokemon, whatever that was.
Well, currently, we could see Ash stalking a Pidgey for the eighth time with a new Pokeball and a blanket in hand. He waited for a couple moments before he jumped out the bush and covered the Pidgey with the large piece of cloth.
Unfortunately, he was blown away by Gust and ended up on a tree, with his head down. "I'll get you someday!" He shouted towards the Pidgey which had flown away.
He sighed to himself, of course. He couldn't catch anything without a Pokemon to assist him, he was tempted to just use the Pikachu but he restrained himself.
He struggled to get down the tree but couldn't, he tried to swing from left to right to detach his jeans from the tree but was unsuccessful. Until sometime later, a curious little Spearow arrived and perched itself on top of the tree branch and it stared at him.
Ash noticed the Spearow and had an idea, "Can you help me? I'll give you some treats" He said in his sweetest voice, it twisted its head sideward, "Spear!" It spread its wings and pecked on his pants. It detached and then he fell on the ground face-first, it made a resounding 'thud'. The rest of his body landed on the ground, "Not what I was planning but it works".
He sat up and touched his face to check for injuries, unknowingly the Spearow landed on his head. It pecked Ash's hands to avert his attention to it. He stared at the little bird Pokemon and gave it a Pokemon treat from his bag.
It happily munched on it; it then unexpectedly flapped down and nudged on the fallen Pokeball. The ball shook three times before it 'dinged' loudly. Ash was wide-eyed and stared at the ball for a long time. He then slowly grabbed the ball and, "I just caught a Spearow, I JUST CAUGHT A SPEAROW, OH YEA!" He shouted to the heavens with the ball up high.
