The admin stood overlooking the ruined building, frowning
"Sir, we scouted the area" said a one of the grunts
"And?" stated the admin
"So-o-rr-ry sir, no" the grunt answered scared witless
"We couldn't find any trace"
"Mmm. Sweep the area again, they have to be inside one those caves" said the admin calmly, the grunt nodded and left.
Beeep Beeep.
"Huh?" said the admin, grabbing the holocaster.
"Report, Douglas" the man on the holocaster
"Sir, no sign of target or the escaped experiment" Douglas reported to his superior
"Alright, I'm contacting someone to give some back up" Douglas nodded, turning the holocaster off.

Ash mumbled in his sleep,grogoly waking up from a deep sleep
"Huh, where are we?" he said rubbing his eyes and looking around the cave
"Morning, sleepy" Pikachu told him, smiling
"Hey Pikachu" Ash said, standing up, and cluchted his stomach
"Huuugh, man I'm hungry" Ash moaned
"Hehe" chuckuled Pikachu "I knew you'd say that, Nubtup went to get some food"
Ash stared at Pikachu "Nubtup? Who's that?"
"Me" said a Vileplume, who was carrring a palm leaf filled with Oran berries. "Hi, I'm Nubtup"
"Umm.. Hi" Ash said nervosly, not really trusting the Vileplume and grabbed a berry from the leaf and started to eat
"So *munch* where are we *swallow* now?" Ash asked in between berries
Nubtup looked at Ash with awe "I've seen Snorelax who eat less than he does" she said, Pikachu felt a big sweatdrop form on his forehead
"Hehe, well to answer your question Ash, were in the woods near Silph Co."
"Wait, where are May, Max and Brock?!" Ash asked, worried
"I have no idea" Pikachu said sadly "And don't even think about going to look for them right now!"
"Why?" Ash asked
"Two reasons" Pikachu explained "1. You don't now how to use any attacks and need training, 2. Cipher is looking for us"
"Cipher?" Ash asked
"The guys that attacked us with the Zapdos back in Silph Co." Pikachu explained.
Five minutes later, Ash, Pikachu and Nubtup where outside, ready to start training
"Okay Ash" said Pikachu "Just focus"
"Okay" Ash told him "Chuuu!" he yelled, but a very small amount of electricity came out
"Haaaha, what did I do wrong?" Ash panted, Pikachu just shrugged and shook his head, "Right" Ash panted
"Heheh, really?" laughted a voice in his head "You call THAT a thunderbolt?"
"Hey Ashchu" thought Ash, realising that if he started to talk to himself, Pikachu and Nubtup would notice that something was wrong with.
"Hi Ash, watcha doing?"
"Training"
"Need a little help with your thunderbolt?"
Ash nodded, tired of trying and failing to use electricity
"Alright, relax and close your eyes" Ash did as Ashchu told him
"Now, consintrate on the energy moving to your cheeks" Ash did that, feeling all of the power coursing through him, enough power to light all of Pallet Town for a month
"Now, let it all go!" Ash nodded
"PiiikaaCHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!" screamed Ash as a massive thunderbolt came flying out of his small body
"AAAAASSHHH! STOP!" he heard Pikachu and Nubtup yell, after stopping the electricity he turned around with his eyes closed and a huge grin on his face
"What do you think, Pikachu?" he asked "Pikachu?" he said as he opened his eyes and saw him and Nubtup lying on the floor, black as coal.

"Woah, did you guys see that?" asked Meowth
"Yeah" answered both Jessie and James
"I think we found something better than the twerps Pikachu" said Jessie with an evil grin.
"Ash! That was great!" exclaimed Pikachu
"If you defenition of the word 'Great' means getting cooked like a steak" mumbled Nubtup, who was cleaning the soot out of her petals
"Thanks for the help, buddy" Ash said
"Your welcome" Pikachu said happily
"Yeah" he heard Ashchu say "Your welcome"
"Hey Pikachu, how bout we have a training battle?" Ash asked
"You sure" Pikachu asked, Ash nodded "Okay then" Pikachu answered "But I ain't holding back!"
Soon Ash and Pikachu were battleing
"IRON TAIL" screamed Pikachu, barley missing Ash
"Woah, all right then... Thunderbolt!" Ash screamed, unleashing electricity
"Grr. Quick attack!" Pikachu said as he ran on all fours towards Ash, dodging the electricity and tackling him. Ash grabbed his friend hand and pushed "Get... off... me" he wheezed, pushing hard
"Nice try Ash, but looks like you need more... OWW!" Pikachu exclaimed as he hit with Ash's glowing fist
"Ash!" yelled Nubtup "you just used Brick Break!"
"Cool" he said
"Heads up, Ash!" yelled Pikachu
"Wuagh!" Ash screamed, instictly raising his paws, but he then felt surge of energy coursing out of his paw
"What the.." Ash said looking at the beam of electricity shooting out of his paws "What the?"
"Oww" groaned Pikachu "Nice job Ash, ya beat me" he told his friend, smiling. Ash opened his mouth to say something, but then he was grabbed by a huge, pink rubber hand.
"Prepare for trouble"
"And make it double"
