... ….

It was a beautiful sunny summer day in Pallet City . Storm the Waterflower-Ketchum's small Pikachu was enjoying the sun's warmth on Misty's lap on a cushioned chair in her

trainers' backyard. Her trainer wore a light blue stripes tee shirt and stretchy tan capris .Two of Storm's Pichu pups - Tara and Zapp-were nearby snoozing on the sun -warmed cement. the back door was open so Misty could hear her three year old son Derek if he woke up from his nap. Ash and Pikachu, Storm's mate along with her more competitive daughters Thora and Electra were at the Battle Park.

Her smallest daughter Aki was a few feet away on the grass trying to do a Thundershock attack on a berry hanging from a low branch. But the small Pikachu' couldn't do the attack since she only had half her species' signature lightning bolt shaped tail. She strained her eyes as one or two itty sparks came out of the red electrical pouches on her checks .But due to her tail being half gone , every time this happened she winced in pain so she had to stop. She hated this feeling of being unable to use attack of her element .

Aki turned her head to look at her stubby half-tail-scowling. i hate this I hate what that.. thing did to me. She lost most of it and the majority of her electrical powers mere days ago-when a strange person kidnapped Derek and hurt her, Misty and Misty's sister and niece with these strange glowing Pokemon including a Mightyena with a cyborg eye and steel on its body . The man was someone from her two trainers' past-someone they thought long dead but was very much alive- hellbent on revenge. He used the toddler as a hostage and told Misty to bring her husband and Pikachu to the middle of the Viridian forest in few hours alone .. or else.

She'd been adamant about going with them. it was a good thing the then-Pichu did. While they fought with the man's strange glowing Pokemon-which seemed to know every attack regardless of type or improbability. she rescued Derek from the strange Mightyeana and other Pokemon guarding him. The toddler had encouraged her not to lose hope or give up. Getting strength from his words , she found herself frying her enemies with Thunder-an impossible move for a Pichu. She evolved and rescued the terrified toddler but the strange Mightyene bit off most of her tail which was barely holding on. The little mouse held back tears as she remembered the agonizing immense pain as the foe bit it off right in front of her stunned parents and trainers. She tried to retaliate but it was stronger and knocked her out. Due to her blood and energy loss, she'd been in a coma for a few days at the Oak's Pokémon lab.

When she'd woke up at the lab a few days the Oaks did a test to find out about her electrical power usage. the prognosis wasn't good and she completely flipped . She went into a rage filled rampage after learning she couldn't do electrical attacks anymore then bolted out the window. She was so hurt and confused she' ran into a river and got captured by Dodgy Dirk a greedy poacher. He tortured her with his cruel Carnivine when he'd discovered her tack of a tail. Dirk was thisclose to having his Carnivine finish her off but Misty and her peacable Dratini Aurora-who'd been on walk nearby- came and saved her. Dirk first had his greedy eyes on Aurora but when he saw Misty's distinctive hair and realized who she was he grabbed her wrist . Despite her injuries and low energy Aki jumped up and bit him , freeing her though she'd fallen to the ground after. He'd been about to slap the small Pikachu into unconsciousness when a group of the local police Growlithe intervened.

The little Pikachu shook her head as if trying to rid her mind of those awful memories and sighed. (I wouldn't change what i did. I saved Derek's life.) she told herself. She recalled the tingle she felt in her body when he thanked for saving his life. She knew they were bonded for life- they would anything in the world to save each other. (but now... h-h-how can- i really defend myself or Derek.. )

She gazed back to Misty and felt a surge of wasn't just her and Derek who suffered under that strange man. After the police took Dodgy Dirk away, Misty admitted in total secrecy she'd had been pregnant with another child . Or at least ..she had been until that strange man told his glowing Pokemon to brutally attack her belly while Aki had been knocked out cold . The damage was so severe the pregnancy had to be terminated. Tears fell out of her black eyes but she quickly wiped them away with a front paw.why Arceus? Why did you make Derek Misty and i suffer ? Did we do something wrong? It's just not fair ..

The young woman looked over at the small Pikachu . Aki looked up at her trainer who nodded-as if knowing what the mouse was thinking-which she did. She had sadness in her own eyes and fought back a tear as she said quietly. "I know girl. It's truly unfair . "

The sadness in her viridian pupils was too much so Aki averted her gaze. That strange man and Dodgy Dirk.. th-they did this . A burning anger washed away the sadness. The mere thought of those two coldhearted men made her stomp her back right paw repeatedly on the grass in frustration .

As she did .. the small Piakchu felt a slight strange tingling in her foot. She thought she felt the familiar electric current running through her body. She looked down and saw with surprise her right foot was slightly glowing! She fell back on her left side in shock. what in Arceus' name? (M-Mom! M-Misty ! Come quick- something's wrong with my foot!) she cried .

The two females sprang out of the chair and were kneeling by her side in three shakes of a Mareep's tail. . (Sweetheart what's- ) Storm's words were cut off as she gazed at Aki's glowing right foot as she put her foot to the grass for half a minute. A slight electrical burnt smell permeated the air and they looked down. Where her foot touched the grass, the grass blades were burnt!

The little Pikachu lifted her foot from the ground . (What's going on?)

"Oh my ..." Misty's eyes were wide as Moon Stones. "what in the world?"

(How can this be?)

Aki's whole body shook. (I'm s-scared. H-how do i get it back to normal?)

"Close your eyes and relax. " Misty told her calmly.

Storm put one front paw on her daughter's shaking body and licked her. (Stay calm sweetheart. .. Take deep breaths and think of something happy and calming,)

(I'll t-try.) The shivering small Pikachu replied. She closed her eyes and took some deep breaths as a calming happy thought came up. She, her family , her trainers and some of her trainers' other Pokemon were in a grassy warm meadow, just playing. Everyone seemed content and happy. She felt a sense of gratitude and happiness.

She focused on that scene for a few minutes , feeling her muscles relax and her body stopped shaking before opening her eyes. She looked up at Storm and Misty, who were smiling warmly - knowing they l sensed her thought.

"Aki .. look." Misty said.

Aki looked down at her foot as the glowing stopped and it went back to normal. She gazed back up at her mother and trainer . (Uh.. What just happened?)

Storm was quiet for a minute. (Aki..) she said . ( I don't think you lost all your electrical powers.)

(Wh-What?)

"I think .. we need to take a video to show and Ashy and your dad. Then I'll send it to Gary Oak - he'll know what to make of it ." Misty said referring to her husband's former rival turned friend - the Kanto Pokemon professor and Derek's best friend Sami's dad. With one hand she got her phone out of her pocket

"D-Do you think .. you can do it again?"

Aki looked up nervously at her trainer . By now Taran and Zapp had woken up and were walking over to them, (I'll try.)

X Time Shift X Time Shift X Time Shift X Time Shift X Time Shift X Time Shift X

A few days later, after dropping Derek off at preschool, Aki ,Misty, Ash, and her parents were in a small examining room at the Oaks' lab with Professor Gary Oak. They had sent him the video.

Ash wore his Battle Park Frontier attire-tan capris and a white shirt with the Battle Park's symbol- two intwined gold Pikachu tails making a V shape while misty had on a simple light striped shirt and shorts. Gary was a tall-ish man with semi-spiky brown hair and Pokespeech translator studs in his ears who had a lab coat and pants . Aki was in the center of a small exam table in the middle of the room with two wires attached to her . The wires were connected to a computer monitor on the side.

Gary rubbed his chin twice . "Dora and I spent the last few days examining the video and going through information. for the love of Arceus.. this is .. hard to hard to explain without getting real technical ." "

" Just try Gary. " Ash told him. "Please..." he begged his goddaughter Sami's father.

"Is she going to be okay?" Misty asked.

(What's wrong with our daughter?) Pikachu and Storm chimed in.

"Well.. " Gary massaged his temple.. " nothing is wrong with Aki apart from her small size and her tail .Despite her... disabilities there is a chance ..she'll be able to use Electric type attacks again. . "

At his last few words there was an outbreak of chatter.

( What?)

( How can that be?)

"But how?"

" Oh my Arceus..".

( B-but how is that. Even possible?) Aki squeaked out. .

Gary turned the computer monitor to show them. On the screen there were two diagrams side by side of basic outlines of Pikachus with heartbeat electric current and vein lines . The one on the left showed a regular Pikachu with full glowing yellow lines coursing through its whole body. The other diagram on the right however showed a much smaller Pikachu figure with half its tail missing . That diagram was mostly gray with very few yellow lines running through bits body- there were just with tiny dots of yellow in tiny areas on the body.

He pointed to the left diagram. " Do you notice the glowing lines? This is what a regular Pikachu's electrical current looks like. See -"

They all nodded but Aki's attention and eyes drifted to the other diagram. It seemed to burn itself into her mind. Th-That's me..She hardly heard what Gary was saying as she stared at the right outline and shivered . She knew she was much smaller than an average Pikachu- her sisters Thora and Electra loved taunting her that she was the runt of the litter. I knew I was small and knew i became an abnormaly … after .. that horrible incident . But this diagram really puts that point across.

She felt a lump forming in her throat and looked away. She had been sworn not to say the truth about how she lost her tail. But the diagram had burned itself into her mind and almost hurt as much as the lost appendage ,. She felt even smaller than a Digglet and wished she knew Minimize so she could shrink herself. She felt her parents nuzzle her and felt her trainers stroke her.. knowing her thought and feelings. .

( Don't worry sweetheart. it's going to be okay.) Her father comforted her.

(You're not a freak baby) Storm reassured her and licked her cheek.
.

( I know but… ) Aki mumbled.

They probably felt her despair so Ash cleared his throat. "This is all very interesting Gary.. but I think your diagram on the right is scaring Aki.. she's still traumatized. Besides .."; He glanced at his watch on his right wrist briefly. "Pikachu and I have to get to the Battle Park soon. "

Gary nodded as he put a piece of paper with tape over the right diagram and taped it to the top of the monitor. Aki looked up again. "Okay.. So the one the right is .. was Aki's diagram. Did you noticed how unlike the other one, the electric current in this diagram scattered about in little bits?"

(Is .. that because of my .. tail?) She asker and he nodded.

"Yes. Pikachus gather electricity from the air and storms through their tails.. The current typically get stored in the tail and cheek sacks . Your..situation makes the electricity gathering part tough.. but as you saw from your diagram your electrical current is still there.. just in smaller areas." he turned the computer monitor away, got up and carefully detached the wires attached to the small mouse Pokemon. "I think .. it just got moved to your feet. I think we may be able to work something out for you.. It' may take a lot of time and practice-. They may be just modified attacks but it's up to you. It's your call . "

Aki felt the eyes in the room gravitate to her as Gary's words sunk in. She felt lighter than she had since the incident. She believed all her electric powers were gone -she' d felt like nothing more than a yellow and brown stripped stumpty-half-tailed Ratatta. But this gave her hope. Modified attacks were still attacks after all . She wanted to be able to protect Derek and her family even more so now. Electric powers are the life blood of the 'Chu line. I need to show everyone I can be strong even with this thing . . She turned her head and gazed at her stumpy half-tail and then looked away. even if I have to do modified attacks, its better than nothing.

She looked around at the room , gulped , took a deep breath and said . (I-I'll do it.I can't run away from my issues again or think i'm gonna be a wild Pokemon.. I did that and .. it caused be to tortured a-a-and nearly be k-killed b-by Dodgy Dirk. I'm no wild 'chu, 'I have to get past that- I was scared and conflicted. I can't let that happen again. I have somewhere I belong and people to love . ) She stood up as tall as she could . ( I have to do my very best ... I have to learn how to protect and defend myself. Modified attacks are still attacks.)

her father nuzzled her ( that's my girl. )

X Time Shift X Time Shift X Time Shift X Time Shift X Time Shift X Time Shift X

Over the next few years Gary , her parents and trainers worked very hard with Aki on developing modified attacks for her like Iron Paw- basically Iron Tail but with a paw. She could do very basic- yet weak- Spark and Wild Charge attacks but it left her weak. The one attack that she couldn't seem to pull off was Static Kick. This was pretty much a strong electrical kicking move but it required her to focus her energy into a strong anchor for it to work . . She tried to do it one day one day at a traveling carnival. Some Team Rocket goons- one with green hair and a frog like voice and one with long golden -yellow hair - had lured Derek from parents and briefly kidnapped him. She had tried to stop them with her modified attacks but they laughed at her and their Raticate and Sneasel had beat her up and nearly killed her . Her trainer saved Derek and sent them off but she had felt awful.

Soon after she recovered after that incident, a cloaked masked figure visited her trainers' house. The figure smelled like a Pokemon but she couldn't figure out which one. The unknown figure tried talked to her and Derek but they both fell asleep.

When the two had woken up the figure was gone and she discovered she couldn't remember what happened to her tail or how she had evolved. Derek couldn't remember either. But she recalled she had a massive phobia of Fearows and Casturnes and the modified attacks she was learning . She knew she and Derek's bond went as deep as their dads' powerful bond but neither of them could remember exactly how they bonded .Their respective parents said there was an incident and Aki had her tail bitten off. Both Derek and Aki accepted this without questioning it - too much- when they were younger. However whenever they would bring the subject up, their parents would pretend not to hear them or change the topic.

….

As the years passed, Aki did her very best to work hard on her new moves but Static Kick was the hardest one for her to master. She was having a hard time believing in herself when she got a helpful boost one night .

X Time Change X Time Change X Time Change X Time Change X Time Change X Time Change X

Aki gazed out the window at the mid-October dusk sky with her brothers Zapp and Taran , the orange-red- and pink colors of the quickly darkening sky turning their bodies an orange-red firey color. Ash was at the Trainers' School with nine year old Derek for his Back to School night and a pretty pregnant Misty was reading to her almost two year daughter DJ in the den with their parents. They were sitting on a cushioned little seat next to the window. She knew she looked tiny compared with her two Pikachu brothers - but she was accustomed to that feeling now

She was pretending to watch the changing colors in the sky but she was a bit nervous. The next day she would be performing Static Kick in front of Professor Gary and her trainers to see the progress and see how they turn it into a combo attack. She had gotten better at the attack- but she still had some issues with it. She practiced it with some of Ash's other Pokemon but she wasn't quite confident with it yet. oh Zapdos I really hope I don't mess up I almost have it down it's just finding the emotional anchor and getting to stay long enough to manage a hit … She sighed.

Zap- her peaceable pacifist brother who had a couple of bits of head fur sticking up turned away from the window and looked over at her. (Nervous about performing in front of Sami's dad?)

She nodded. ( I feel like there's a whole flock of butterfly Pokemon fluttering in my stomach. I know it's just nerves but still.)

Taran looked away from the sky and nuzzled her. ( You'll be fine sis. You know the move and you've practice it a lot. )

(I know Tar.. it's just .. I can't seem to make the electricity stay long enough to land a hit ) She admitted.

(You'll find a way) Zapp told her.

( I guess ..) she muttered. She wasn't so sure she couldn't. I don't know if i can. I've tried everything .. ( I dunno if i can. ) she sighed again. (it may just be too hard for me..since i don't have much electricity usage no thanks to this-) she raised her stubby half-tail a few inches off the seat. . She sniffed back a few tears. ( I wish it wasn't so hard .. )

Taran and Zapp both nuzzled and licked her face, comforting him .

The siblings heard the sound of DJ saying to her mother, " Ki sads, Mama.. I helps.."

"Well…" her mother was hesitant. "it's almost beddy-bye sleepy time …"

"Pease?" The littermates smiled , picturing DJ giving Misty a puppy-eyes look.

(I'll go with her Misty.) they heard their dad say .

"Thanks. Okay peanut. but just for a few minutes. "

They heard feet running towards them followed by their dad's light paw-steps. The trio got off the seat and onto the floor as the little short brown haired girl came in- wearing blue red and pink tie-dyed pajama top and bottom and and holding a stuffed Teddiursa Pokedoll with a small red shirt in her right hand) - ran up to them, closely trailed by their father . She looked at Aki and hugged her for a few minutes . "You sads."

The small Pikachu nodded . DJ inherited a tiny bit of Aura pawers from her parents so she could sense emotions from people and Pokemon if they were a few feet away. (Yeah.. I .. don't know if i can pull off that move for Sami's dad. )

(Don't be so hard on yourself sweetheart. ) Pikachu told his daughter as he approached her and licked her face. (It takes time and practice to learn new moves. You've been practicing really hard on that move.)

(I.. just can't get it right Papa. I can't seem to find an emotional anchor and every time i try to do Static Kick it doesn't stay long enough for me to make a hit) She said,

"You cans too Ki. be-w-weave 'n self. " DJ pointed out- sounding like her father.

Pikachu smiled . He licked the young toddler's face and she giggled . (You are so like your daddy . )the mouse smiled.

" that goods? ".

He nodded.(It means you both stand up for what you believe in and are compassionate.).

"K-k-koo-pak-n-eat?" DJ has trouble sounding out the word

. (close. com-pass-a-shun-ate.) he enunciated.( it mean you feel or show concern and sympathy for others.)

(Your dad's really good at that . And I think you've picked it up . ) Zapp told her.

Pikachu turned to his daughter . ( She's right. you have to believe in yourself. )

(I believe you can it Aki) Taran stated .

" I toos. " DJ put in.

(So do i sis.) Zapp added. (you're really strong )

Aki looked at her brother. Me? Strong? How in Arceus' name am I strong? . He saw her expression and explained. (You didn't let your injury or small stature stop you from trying to learn attacks. You tried to stand up agains Skar and saved Tar and I .. even if that meant you got a phobia of Fearows. )

(You may have be the smallest of your siblings but you were the first to open your eyes.) Pikachu told her. ( As you grew , I saw a determination in them- like you knew the odds was stacked against you but you were determined to beat them. )

She smiled and he paused before going on .( I think the reason you're having trouble is you're focusing on what's going on around you not blocking it out. . you also need to find a reason to use as an emotional anchor )

(How do I do that ?) She asked.

( I think you need to pretend nothing but you and your foe exist.. give in to the battle zone. ) Zapp said.

( As for the emotional anchor part … that's easy . think of fighting for us) Taran said.

"Me n' Derwy toos" DJ said. "n' Dada , 'torn n' mama. "

(Don't forget all your friends at the lab. ) Pikachu pointed out . ( and if you can't think think of an anchor , just visualize all the nay sayers who say you can't do something just because you're.. different. and the emotion to give them a good shock / kick will come up. )

"You gots this . " DJ added and smiled at the mouse.. who couldn't help smiling back.

" you'll be fine. " Misty padded into the room wearing a full length blue and white speckled night gown- which didn't really hide her huge seven month pregnant belly - and fuzzy striped slippers. Storm was at her side. She winced a lot as she knelt to sit down

Pikachu and Storm looked at her. They knew her husband was nervous about her third pregnancy - given how overdue DJ was and what had happened right before she was born .

"Mama kays? ' DJ asked concerned as she climbed into her lap.

. The orange red-headed woman smiled seeing her daughter . And the two Pikachus' concerned looks. " Don't worry I'm fine . Just your unborn little brother is kicking hard ."

Their faces relaxed. (You are due pretty soon so he's bound to be active.) Storm pointed out.

Misty nodded . "True. Want to feel him kick?" She asked DJ who nodded enthusiastically. "Okay pumpkin.. put your free hand on the center of my tummy."

She did just that and a minute later, the mice heard a little kick as her face split into a huge grin. "Mama I f-" -she yawned. "'l feels. I be bestest beeg s-s-siter" she yawned again

Misty smiled and noticed DJ was nodding off and kissed her forehead ..." Sleepy time sweetheart .say night night"

DJ nodded . "Kay. Nigh-n-night " she yawned, rubbed her eyes before closing them. She put her thumb in her mouse and fell fast asleep.

Misty smiled lovingly down at her daughte and then rubbed Aki behind the ears. "I know you're nervous about tomorrow. But you'll do great . We'll be there to cheer you own. just remember our advice. We're all proud of you no mater what . You've come so far and done so well." "

Aki looked around the room - from the sleeping DJ to her parents to her brothers and back again. they're all right. I got this. The little Pikachu nodded as she looked around at her family. They all had total confidence in her. Now she had to have total confidence in herself.

X Scene ends X Scene ends X Scene ends X Scene ends XX

Aki took their advice to heart and used it while showing Professor Gary Static Kick. even Pignite - who had volunteered to be the target was very impressed. They decided to keep it secret in battles until it was absolutely necessary.

Little did they know the opportunity to reveal Static Kick would present itself in a Kanto-Johto school tournament at the Seafoam Island Stadium a just few months later .

X Time and Scene Change X Time and Scene Change X Time and Scene Change X Time and Scene Change

Aki was panting for breath as her muscular Poliwrath opponent advanced on her. from where it had her cornered against a the edge of a bolder. Some of the stones and rocks were strewn about the field ,? broken from attacks. Bits of ice covered the beaten rocky terrain battlefield and her fur .

(You're finished runt..) He said and he got closer and closer ,- his gloved hands glowing white. She ducked as the Water/ Fighting type threw a Focus Punch at her but she used Agility to get out the way just in time and hid behind another boulder a few feet away . The attack hit the boulder and crushed it into dust. There was silence for a few seconds and then she came out from her hiding spot .

She heard his trainer's amplified voice boom " get that rat Poliwrath .. soak it with your Water Pulse! ".

At the same she heard Derek's own magnified voice yell, " Aki! Watch out!"

But his warning came too late as , a huge pulsing blast of freezing water struck her! ( Derek!). She cried out as the brute force of the attack threw her to the other side of the field into a bunch of flat boulders. She managed to get her paws but one or two of the heavy stones fell down upon her back , sticking her to the ground. She heard Derek scream her name.

Poliwrath scoffed as she tried to free herself .(and you are supposed to be kin to a powerful Pikachu? What a joke.)

Her heartbeat was so loud it almost overpowered the announcer's voice and the murmurs' of the large stadium crowd. " .. And it looks like lee' s Poliwrath has Derek's small female Pikachu backed into a corner. She's taken quite a beating during this battle . Remember folks , due to her .. disability.. she can't really use electric attacks . Unless Derek can come up with a strategy , Poliwrath will make mince meant out of the mouse. What will he do?"

"Give it up.. Your Pikachu's pathetic and done for. You're nothing like your father. " Poliwrath's trainer lee - a muscular tan boy from Cianwood Island taunted from the other raised trainer platform through his cordless microphone ."Poliwrath! Let's finish this. Mega DynamicPunch !"

She saw the foe run toward her as if in slow motion. She shook in terror then looked up to see her best human friend look down at her from his raised trainer platform high above . Wearing a shirt with his school's logo and tan shorts and a red and white , he looked down at her and winked. "Aki! " the ten year old shouted, his words magnified through his own cordless microphone . "I know you can do this. Believe in yourself feel it in your guts . Reach inside and focus. Break those boulders with a iron Paw then jump into the air.."

( time to be pulverized you wimpy pathetic mouse) Poliwrath called as he got closer , gloved hands glowing.

She closed her eyes briefly. She centered all the attention she could into her paws which turned silvery and hard . The rage at being called a pathetic wimp and a runt and Lee saying derek was nothing like his father boiled in her body .she stood up and lifted her glowing paws.

( ( don't call me PATHETIC OR A RUNT!) she screamed the last four words as she punched the rock slabs holding her down . They crumbled into dust and she leaped high into the air and landed on a tall rock about ten feet away that miraculously survived the battle . . She landed right before Poliwrath 's attack hit but could still feel the vibrations.

( How the heck ?) Poliwrath was dumbfounded.

( Di you missed me?) she called out.

Lee was furious . Derek caught her eyes and gave a double thumbs up sign .She knew what to do - that was her signal. It was time to show the world her Static Kick . Her body was still buzzing with energy and her mind was still in batlle mode so she was totally focused. . Come to me.. I needd to show this jerk I' m not pathetic or a wimp/ she willed her electricity to her feet felt her feet t start to tingle as it began to glow . He turned his hat around backwards with his right hand- his dad's signature pose and yelled . " Aki I chose you! Use agility - and give that Poliwrath a double taste of your Static Kick!"

"Get it now! Hydro Pump it! " Lee yelled at the same time .

(You're mine now! Eat this!) Poliwrath said as he fired an enormous volume of water launched under great pressure at her. But the mouise was too fast as she jumped off the rock and used Agility to dodge it . She smirked. Water was a perfect conductor for electricty .

Poliwrath fired another Hydro Pump and this time, the small Pikachu jumped up as it came close and hit the water with her glowing feet t ( actually how about you eat THIS!) she yelled as she water started crackling.

The electrified water made it way back to Poliwrath whose eyes got wide and he tried to stop the attack. He failed and screamed as he got majorly shocked. He screamed as the attack hit him for a few minutes. He stopped the attack and fell to the ground. .Aki's feet stopped glowing as she jumped back to the ground, panting .

The crowd was so still she heard her heart beat and breath. I dunno if i have the strength to attack again if he gets up. When the Water /Fighting type Pokemon didn't get up two minutes later , the referee on the sideline raised their checked flag. The annoucer's words echo through the stadium . "That was one for the record books folk . Derek's Pikachu has knocked out Lee's Poliwrath with an interesting move called Static Kick! Pallet City's Derek Waterflower-Ketchum and his Pikachu wins the battle with a new move and we'll have move on that move !"

There was split second of silence before a thunderous roar of cheers and astonishment exploded from the crowd it shook the air and ground like a herd of rampaging Tauros totally overpowering the sounds of Poliwrath being recalled and the platforms being lowered into the ground . The sounds of the crowd blends into the background as she heard and saw Derek running toward her, a huge smile on his face . Nothing seemed to exist for Aki asides from her best friend. " Akiiii! " He screamed as she shouted his name, rans and leaped into his open arms.

He caught her in his arms and hugged her. "You did it girl! you did Static Kick and beat him. You were beyond outstanding and excellent. I knew you could do it!" Aki smiled.. With this accomplished, she felt like she could do anything as long as she put her mind to it.

The End
