I was outside the town, heading to the forest. I was wearing gloves against electricity, dragging Pikachu with a rope. After a little while, I stopped, sighing. I looked down at Pikachu, "Pikachu, are you really going to be like this the all way?"

Pikachu turned to it's side and nodded, "Pikachu." I kneeled down, "You don't like me do you?" I asked. It nodded, "Pika, Pika." I sighed but then I smiled softly, "Well, maybe we should be open up to each other." It turned back around and looked at me with confused eyes, "Pika?"

"You know, like try to get to know each other?" I suggested and then I untied the rope. "What do you say?" I took off one of the gloves and hold my hand to Pikachu. "Would you like to try that?"

It stared at my hand, then it sniffed it before looking at me. I smiled softly on it and then it looked back at my hand. To my surprise, it shook my hand with it's paw. "That's great," I said. "Pika," Pikachu said before running to a tree and it climbed on it.

I got up and watched it disappeared in the tree. I sighed as I placed my hands on my hips. "Well, at least it didn't zipped me," I mumbled as I looked down at the grass. Suddenly, something hard fell on my head, "Ow," I said.

I opened my eyes and saw an apple fell on my feet. "Huh?" Suddenly, Pikachu climbed down the tree, "Pikachu," It said as it grabbed the apple. It split the apple and hold to me a part.

"Huh? You want to share with me the apple?" I asked, pointing at myself. "Pika, Pikachu," It said, nodding. I smiled and took the apple, "Thanks," I said. Pikachu smiled and nodded, "Pikachu."

Looks like we started to bond, I was so glad!

We sat down and started to eat the apple. Then, there was a sudden wind and I looked up to see a Tiny Pokémon Bird landing at the grass. "What's that?" I asked as I pulled out my Pokédex.

It was primarily brown with a cream-colored face, underside, and flight feathers. On top of its head is a short crest of three tufts. The center crest feathers are brown and the outer two tufts are cream-colored. Just under its crest are its narrow, brown eyes. Angular black marking extend from behind its eyes down its cheeks. It has a short, stubby beak and feet with two toes in front and one in back. Both its beak and feet are a grayish-pink. It has a short, brown tail made of three feathers.

"Pidgey is a Flying Pokémon. Among all the Flying Pokémon, it is the gentlest and easiest to capture. A perfect target for the beginning Pokémon Trainer to test his Pokémon's skills."

I smiled, "This is great," I said and looked up. My smiled faded away when I saw the Pidgey flying away. "Oh come on," I mumbled. "Pika," Pikachu said and continued eating his apple.

After we finished, I threw the finished apple as I grabbed my backpack. Suddenly, I saw the apple hit something. "Huh?" "Pika?" Pikachu and I asked at the same time.

Something moved and then I could see a small Bird. "Is that another Pidgey?" I asked, frowning. "Pikachu?" Pikachu asked, taking a few steps forwards. The bird turned around slightly, with a angry look, glaring right at me.

It had rough, brown plumage on its head and three brown tail feathers. It has narrow, dark brown eyes with white pupils and a short, hooked beak. The feathers covering its wings are pinkish red with lighter tips, and it has a beige underside with two thin, horizontal stripes. Its light pink feet have two toes in front and one in the back. Black feathers cover its back.

I pulled my Pokédex again, "Unlike Pidgey, Spearow has a terrible attitude. It is very wild and will sometimes attack other Pokémon and humans."

I glanced down at Pikachu and it glanced up at me, both of us had a worried look in our faces. I looked back at Spearow and saw it flying towards me. "Pika!" Pikachu called as my eyes grow wide at the Spearow.

I quickly ducked falling to the ground just in time when the Spearow was flying above me. I sighed in relief but then looked at Pikachu as it cried, "Pikachu!" It pointed up and I looked back to the sky. My eyes grow wide when I saw the Spearow coming back.

But then instead of attacking me, it went for Pikachu. The mouse Pokémon ducked away and then zipped the bird. It landed at the grass right away as Pikachu rushed to my side. "Pikachu, you got it!" I said.

"Pikachu," It said but then Spearow looked up and cried up at the sky. Suddenly, a little away from us, there was a large tree that a herd of Spearow fly right from it. My eyes grow wide and I looked down at Pikachu, "Now, I think we should run!" I said. It nodded, "Pikachu."

With that, we both started to run away from the herd, with them following us. But ever so, the Spearow managed to get us and they started to attack us. I glanced to my side and stopped when I saw Pikachu on the ground, with a few Spearow attacking it.

Ignoring my pain, I rushed back to it's side and took it in my arms before continued to ran. Looking up ahead, I saw a river and I stopped at the edge. I looked behind me to see the Spearow before looking back to the river.

I took a deep breath, "Okay," I whispered and glanced down at my Pokémon before jumping to the water. I swim away, one arm holding Pikachu tightly to my chest while I was using my other arm to swim.

Suddenly, I was pulled up and thrown to the air. I landed on the ground and I started to cough. "Hey, are you okay?" I looked up to see a girl with a orange hair. "Yeah. We both will be," I replied, glancing down at Pikachu, who was on my lap with it's eyes closed.

"I need to get Pikachu to the hospital. Can you tell me where it is?" I asked, standing up with Pikachu in my arms. "There is one, not far from here. You can't miss it -" She was cut off by a noises from the distends. We looked up and saw the herd again, heading towards us. "Oh no! Not again!" I said.

I looked around and spotted a bike near. I rushed towards it, "Hey, wait!" The girl said as I put Pikachu gently inside a blue basket before turning back to her as I climbed on the bike. "I need to get Pikachu help," I said before riding away.

"But that's my bike!" She called. "I'll get it back to you!" I called back. I tried to ride faster, I had to get Pikachu to the hospital that was the only thing I thought right now. Suddenly, the sky started to turn darker and a thunder could be heard but I didn't slow down.

"Pikachu, pika," Pikachu said quietly. I glanced at the basket to see it had his eyes slightly opened and they were looking at me. "Don't worry, Pikachu, I'll get you help," I promised as the rain started.

As I continued to ride off, the Spearow started to attack me. I didn't noticed a small cliff but when I did it was to late. I past the cliff but suddenly, I lost balance and fall from the bike. The bike fall to the ground and Pikachu fall from the basket.

I looked at Pikachu, who was in front of me. "Pikachu," I whispered. "Pika," It said quietly. I crawled over to him and placed my hand gently at him. "Chu." I looked up with tears in my eyes o see the herd in front of us, ready to attack again.

"No," I said and stood up. I looked down at Pikachu before taking a deep breath and then looked back up at the Spearow. I walked past Pikachu and stood in front of it with my arms wide opened, "I won't let you hurt Pikachu. If you want to hurt someone, then here I am."

With that, the Spearow looked straight at me and then started to fly towards me. But all of a sudden, I felt something jumping on me. I glanced to my side and saw Pikachu jumping from my shoulder towards the herd. "Pikachu!" I called and suddenly, Pikachu used the lightning from the storm to defeat all of the Spearow simultaneously.

I opened my eyes to see I was on the ground, Pikachu in front of me. The dark rainy sky disappeared and the sun with the blue sky showed up. I looked back at Pikachu and I saw it was barely conscious. I gave it a small smile before we both looked up at the sky to see a shimmering golden Pokémon flying straight to the rainbow.

"What is that?" I asked and then looked down beside me at my Pokédex and it said it unable to identify the Pokémon. I looked back up at the rainbow to see the Pokémon started to disappeared.

I looked back at Pikachu, "Come on, let's get you to the hospital," I said. It gave a small nod and I took it to my arms and placed the Pokédex back to my pocket before standing up and continued on feet.

Soon, we finally got to the end of the forest and saw a city. I smiled, "Viridian City," I said. Then I looked down at Pikachu to see it gave a small lick on my cheek and I smiled softly at the yellow Pokémon before looking ahead and continued to the city.
