"Sounds like your hungry, heh?" Watt asked to witch Ash nodded furiosly "Come on, it's time for breakfest"
"Alright!" Ash said, getting up instantly and following Watt deeper into the cave to a big area with a large number of chus inside of it, each of them sitting in groups "Families I guess" Ash thought "Come on" Watt said, leading Ash through the crowd of chus to a spot were Ruchu and a pichu were sitting eating "Morning Ash" Ruchu said "Good morning" Ash said with a smile "Who's that?"
"My name's Gen" the pichu said "Gen?" Ash asked "As in Generator" Gen said, grabbing another Oran berry from the leaf "Come on, sit down Ash" Ruchu said, gesturing Ash to sit next to him "Okay" Ash said, taking a seat next to Ruchu and started eating a berry "Ash, do you remember anything before last night?" Ruchu asked "No, not really, sorry" he answered, throwing another berry into his mouth "That's alright" Ruchu said "I actullay have one question" Ash said "Hmm?" Ruchu said, due to his mouth being full "Watt what, umm happened to your brother" he asked quickly and quietly, he looked up to see that all three family members had solem looks on their faces "If you don't wanna answer, it's okay!" he added quickly "No, don't worry about that" Watt said "Okay, I'll tell you... About six months ago me and my brother were gathering berries in a nearby clearing during sunset, witch is the time that trainers come to catch pokemon since it's not as hot outside as earlier, so we ran back to the colony as fast as we could but... he followed us"
"Who followed you?" Ash asked "A human" Ruchu said "In his early 50's by his looks"
"He sent out a Dragonite and told it to attack him, before me or dad could anything there was a huge plume of smoke and dust in the spot were he was, after it cleared away the only thing there was a small red and white sphere... The Dragonite grabbed it and turned around, I screamed 'Give him back' and tried shocking it, but it just swatted me aside with it's tail and handed the ball to it's trainer, who just turned around and left..."
"I-I'm sorry for asking" Ash said quietly "It's alright Ash" Watt said, crieing slightly "What's his name?" Ash asked "Bolt" Ruchu said "His name is -was- Bolt" suddenly another pikachu came up and whispered something into Ruchu's ear "Alright, I need to get going. Watt, do me a favor and show Ash around the colony"
"Sure dad..." Watt said halfhearteadly "Thank you" Ruchu said as he walked of "Bolt..." Ash thought "Why does that name sound familiar..."
"I'm coming with you and that's final!" Ashchu screamed at the top of his lungs "His my brother, I've gotta help him!"
"No! Your not coming with us!" Bolt yelled back "I am and your not stopping me!" Ashchu screamed "What if we get separated, huh?! I don't want something to happen to you too!" Bolt yelled "Bolt, calm down" Gary said "Ashchu, if you find something to be able to call us, you can come"
"Okay, I'll be right back" Ashchu said as he ran inside and bumped into Delia "Mom!"
"Oh, hello Ashchu" she said, Ashchu winced a little at her voice witch was a little crakly do to the crying last night, he thought for a minute about how to communicate and finnaly put his paws to his mouth in a tube shape and blew air into it "Oh, you want something like a whistle?" Delia asked, Ashchu nodded "Well, I don't have a whistle, but I do have something you can use" she walked over to her room, her pikachu son close behind "Mom, what are you getting?" Ashchu asked in poketounge, Delia didn't hear him and opened a small box and pulled out something made of wood, after focusing on it a little he saw it was a small wooden flute with a brown string attached to it "Here" she said, tieying the string around his neck "Ash made this when he was a Boy Scout, you can have it" Ashchu hugged his mother and looked at the flute, it was a simple rod with three wind-holes on it and three letters on the back "Must be his name.." Ashchu guessed, since he was unable to read, and went outside "Guys! I got something"
"Really?" Gary asked "What is it?" Ashchu held out the flute Bolt just grunted "Alright, you got what you need, come on." Bolt took off torwads the forest "Man, he's pretty impatient. Hey, can you take your hat off for a second?"
"Sure" Ashchu responded and took his blue baseball cap off, Gary then poked his forehead "Ow, why did you do that?"
"It's a microchip gramps made so we can't get caught!" Gary said as he poked his own forehead "A lot of trainers go to the forest, so this keep us from getting captured by somebody"
"Sweet!" Ashchu said, slipping his hat back on "Give me a second" Ashchu ran inside and came back with Ash's red and black baseball hat "Come on guys!" Bolt yelled impatenly "Coming!" Ashchu yelled as he took off to the woods
"Alright, you done eating?" Watt asked, his mood having improved a lot after eating "Yeah, I'm done" Ash said, swipping a few more berries "Hehe, okay then. Come one, I'll show you around" Watt said "Kay" Ash said, gettting up and following Watt "Okay, this place is both where we eat lunch and where we have mettings, but that's pretty rare" Watt said, walking to the walkway to the rest of the cave "Come on, I'll show my favorite spot"
"Alright!" Ash said, following Watt as he ran of to the west side of the cave system only to find an opening, after coming outside he saw a what looked like a canyon inside, with a lake, a bunch of pikachu chatting; playing; and training "Welcome to the Chu Grove!" Watt said "Woah, cool!" Ash said, grinning "This is were we come to train and talk to each other" Watt said, smiling "Come on, I wanna introduce you to some of my friends!"
"Okay" Ash said, following.
"Hey guys!" Watt said, waving at two pikachu, one boy and one girl "Hey Watt!" the girl said, waving back "Whose that?" the boy asked "This is Ash" Watt said, pointing at him "Ash, this is Michu and Isichu"
"Call me Mich" Michu said "And me Isis" Isichu said "Nice to meet you" Ash said, smiling "Same here" Mich said "Cool looking fur, it's kinda cute" Isis said, pointing at the spiky fur on Ash head "Thanks" Ash said, blushing slightly "So your new here?" Isis asked, Ash nodded "He got caught, so" Watt said "Ah, okay" Mich exclaimed "Hey, you guys wanna play tag?"
"Yeah!" all three exclaimed. After a good ten minutes of playing, Ruchu came outside "Ash, would you mind if I talked to you for a minute?" Ruchu asked "Yeah" Ash said, following him to the entrance of the cave "Okay, we'll have some privacy here. Ash, I was wondering if you wanted to live with me, Watt and Gen" Ruchu explained "Wait... you mean as in" Ash began "Adopt you? Yeah, that's what I mean" Ruchu finished the sentence for him "What do you say?"
"YES!" Ash exclaimed, hugging his new father, who hugged him back "Well I huess I better go tell your new siblings" Ruchu said "Yeah I think you should dad" Ash said, follwing Ruchu deeper into the cave
"ASH! ASH, WHERE ARE YOU?" Bolt, Gary and Ashchu yelled "Hey Bolt" Ashchu said panting "Can we rest for a minute?"
"Huh? Oh yeah, good thinking" Bolt said leaning on a tree "Now.." Bolt said, before hearing a familiar voice nearby "Kay, come on Gen!" it said "Wait, is that..." Bolt said "ASH!" all three of them exclaimed, taking off torwards it, just as they left the clearing, Lewis jumped off a nearby tree "Good, lead me right to him, like good pokemon" he said to himself, smirking
