Awesomebrenguy: I'm back!
Pikachu: Where have you been?
Awesomebrenguy: Yeah about that, sorry it has been taking me so long to update I thought I would have more time on my hands. Still it has only been like a few months.
Pikachu: More like a year sense you've updated this story.
Awesomebrenguy: Whoa! Has it really been that long? Well I put off this story long enough, so let's begin. I don't own Pokémon that goes to Game Freak.
Lost in the Forest: Chapter 5
Pikachu, Max, and Buneary have been walking thru the forest at night still trying to find shelter for the night. Pikachu and Max were still carrying Buneary who is starting to pass out.
Pikachu's shoulder was starting to hurt from carrying Buneary, but that doesn't mean he would stop, because he cares about her and doesn't want Max to carry her by himself. So Pikachu just shrugged off the pain and kept walking.
Max noticed this and he really thought it was time to find shelter before Pikachu passes out. Better find shelter before these two decide to take a nap on the ground. So Max was now looking even harder for a shelter for them to stay for the night. Max looked around and all he saw was trees, bushes, and some abandoned Pokémon homes. Max sighed when he saw them and thought, Man this place used to be full of Pokemon, and now they're all gone. Max remembered all of the Pokemon he has saved during this conflict started.
Max kept on looking until Pikachu fell down which made Buneary yelp. Max then had all of Buneary's weight on him, which made him clench his teeth and trying to keep Buneary up so she doesn't hurt her ankle more. Once Max got used to her weight he took her to a nearby rock and put her down there.
"How are you feeling," Max said to her.
"I'm fine what happened to Pikachu," She asked Max wondering if Pikachu is okay.
"I don't know I'll go see what happened." Max then left Buneary at the rock and went over to Pikachu to see what happened. Max found Pikachu on the ground, and it looked like Pikachu fell face first.
Max got next to Pikachu and said, "Hey what happened?" Pikachu didn't answer so Max asked again and waited for a while later. Max started to get impatient and knew something was wrong so he flipped him over on his back, and noticed he had his eyes closed.
Max checked his pulse and noticed it was good, and then he checked for breath and noticed that he is breathing. Looks like he passed out, but now's not a good time to take a nap, he thought to himself while chuckling a bit at how funny Pikachu looked while he was sleeping.
Max didn't know what to do now but to find shelter quick, because it is dark and he really didn't want robots coming to get them during the night, so he looked around until he found a cave on the side of a cliff. "That will have to do," Max said to himself. "Now to figure out how to get both of them up there." Max didn't want to leave one of them behind, but he also didn't want to wake up Pikachu. Max just thought for a second until he came up with something.
Max picked up Pikachu on his shoulder, and started walking back to Buneary. Wow he is heavier than he looks, Max thought while walking back to the rock he left Buneary on. Once he saw Buneary she looked shocked to see Pikachu on his shoulder.
"What happened to him," Buneary asked Max.
Max set Pikachu down panting a bit, and said, "I found him… past out on the ground over there. He must have lost all of his energy carrying you."
"He will be okay right?" Max breathed for a while before he answered.
"Yeah he should be fine; all he needs is some rest." Max then stood up and stretched his arms side to side until he heard a pop. Max then heard something so he twitched his ears until he heard it again. He heard machines coming this way, and he decided not to stay there any longer.
"We have to keep going, I found a cave over by that cliff; so we have to hurry over there before they come." Max looked at Buneary who was confused.
"Who are 'they'?" Max then realized why she was so confused so he then made an 'O' shape with his mouth.
"Robots; like the ones that you saw not too long ago." Buneary then shivered with fear, she really hated those robots and really thought that they are scary. Max then went over to her and hugged her. This calmed her down a bit, and made her realize something.
"Wait how are you going to get us both up there?" Max then let go of her and stood.
"Well I'm going to carry both of you, shouldn't be that hard," Max said with a smile and a lot of confidence, but he is thinking that it is going to be really hard. So Max went back to Pikachu and put him on his shoulder, which made him clench his teeth again.
Buneary saw how much Max was struggling with just Pikachu and said, "Are you sure you want to carry both of us?" Max then looked at her questionably like saying why to her without saying it. "I'm just thinking that you look like you are struggling just carrying Pikachu. You don't have to carry both of us if you don't want to."
Max walked up to her and held out his paw to her. "I'll be fine, after all I'm not leaving anyone behind." Buneary then smiled and took his paw which he swung around his shoulder. Yep this is definitely hard. Max then started walking towards the cave with both of Pikachu's and Buneary's weight on him. Well talking about having all of the weight on my shoulders. Max laughed at his thought and continued walking through the quiet and deserted forest.
As Max was walking on he thought that he would get used to the weight; that was until he started to go up hill to the cave. Each step he took went slower than the next and he was panting every step he took. Man… I never… thought… this thru, Max panted as he thought.
Buneary really started to worry about Max, even though he is strong he still needed to have some rest, even after rescuing her and Pikachu from giant Pokémon killing robots. Buneary then wondered who Max was, she knew that he was a Pikachu, but he is unlike any Pikachu she has seen. "Max are you sure you don't want to take a break or something," she said to him.
Max didn't turn his head but he told her, "We're almost there, I can make it." Max kept on pushing as sweat ran down his forehead making his bright yellow fur darker. Max kept his concentration forward reminding himself that every step he takes makes them a step closer to the cave. He kept on doing this until the cave was in his line of sight, which made him smile.
He walked slightly faster until he got to the entrance of the cave. "Well this is it," he said to her with a sigh of relief. Max started walking inside and set Buneary down on a rock in the cave, and laid Pikachu down on the floor next to her.
As Max set them down he felt a slight shock on his neck. This made him yelp a little and rub his neck. That's not good, Max thought as he felt what looked like a strap on his neck, with a box and a speaker on it which was sparking.
Buneary started to worry something is wrong with him and said, "Are you okay?" Max looked at her than smiled and nodded. "What hurt you exactly?" Max didn't want Buneary to worry about him so he lied to her a bit.
"It's nothing, just my neck cricked. I'm going to go search for firewood, I'll be right back," Max said with a funny sounding voice. Buneary noticed it but thought that his voice just needed to be cleared up from all of the carrying he had to do that day.
As Max left the cave Buneary then looked at Pikachu while he slept. He looks cute when he sleeps, but I still wish he will notice how I really feel about him. Buneary had a crush on Pikachu ever sense she saved him from almost getting run over by Officer Jenney's motorcycle. Ever sense then Buneary has been taking it slow so if Pikachu does notice than she'll be ready when he is ready, but she doesn't know when that will be; it could be tomorrow or a week or maybe even years. Buneary hopes that it doesn't take that long, but she also doesn't want to force Pikachu into a relationship with her; that might ruin their friendship and she didn't want to lose that.
At the exit of the cave Max was taking off the leather thing he had on his neck. Once he got it off he looked at it then sighed. Well now this is broken, so much for the latest edition of the SLP 2000. Max then threw it into the forest thinking it will be alright if Pikachu and Buneary knew one of his many secrets. Well time to go get some firewood; don't want Buneary to worry for me being out too long. With that thought in his mind he went off to find some firewood.
Buneary waited for a while wondering when Max was going to come back or if he would come back. Buneary shook that thought out of her head thinking that he wouldn't do that, because if he did then he would have just let her, and Pikachu die by that robot instead of rescuing them.
As Buneary came to that conclusion she saw Max walk into the cave with a stack of wood in his paws. Max laid them down and started making a fire pit. Buneary didn't like the silence and started to talk, "So what took you so long?" Max didn't answer instead was focused on making the fire pit, once he was done he put the wood into a pyramid shape and started a fire with flint and steel that was on his belt. Buneary saw the fire glow up the cave and she got mad at him for not answering the question.
"Are you going to answer me?" Buneary said which made Max sigh. Well I guess this is it no backing out now.
"Sorry about that, I didn't mean to ignore you," Max said to her as she looked at him in shock.
"Y-y-y-you…" Buneary started to say until Max caught her off.
"Yeah I know I speak English." Buneary was surprised but not as surprised as she would be if she didn't already know a talking Pokémon Meowth from Team Rocket.
"But you weren't speaking English before." Max then sighed again thinking, I guess she can know why I can speak English.
"I know that is because I had a device on my neck that made Pokémon think I was speaking Pokelanguage. It helps so Pokémon don't get freaked out when they figure out I speak English. You look like this isn't new to you?" Max was looking at Buneary's face that had no surprise on it when he said that.
"Well you're not the first Pokémon I know that can speak English."
"Really?" Max was surprised when he heard that come out of Buneary's mouth.
"Yeah, how long have you spoke English?" Here it was Max didn't like sharing these secrets but she was different, she reminded him of her. Max shook his head before he got too far in remembering her.
"Well, forever." Buneary was really shocked now.
"What do you mean by 'forever'?" Buneary was getting curious of what he was going to say next.
"What I mean by 'forever', is that I've been able to speak English ever sense I was born."
"You could speak English ever sense you were born?"
"Well not at first like all infants I had to learn, but it came to me no one really taught me how to speak English."
Buneary then yawned after he was done saying that. He chuckled a bit and said, "I'll let you rest now; you've probably had a long and shocking day today so you need it." Buneary nodded and looked at Pikachu one last time until she closed her eyes. Max saw this and told her, "And don't give up on Pikachu, I know love when I see it." Buneary had her eyes wide open after he said that.
