"Pikachu…"
I could hear my name being called but it was strange. It was quiet. It was eerie. It was distant. I tried with all my might to call back but I just couldn't. My throat hurt with the effort. With every last bit of strength that I had left in my body but no sound would come out. I had to give up, just waiting and waiting, trying and trying to slip back to consciousness.
"Oh Pikachu…" I would just have to lie there and listen to these echoing words being said around me as I fought with all that I was to come back to the real world and out of dream land. I didn't know it, but all my family was there. There was Ash, Misty and all their children; Ben, Katie, James and Jessie. Clemont and Bonnie, some old travelling companions were there too and the latter's glasses seemed to be fogged up with emotion. I had no idea why.
My trainer and best friend slowly walked up to where I was lying right in the middle of an operating table in the middle of an unfamiliar room. From my unconsciousness, I could swear that the scent was a familiar one, but I could not quite put my finger on it. Ash's son, Ben, a dear sweet child just like his father and also a beloved friend to me was there too, holding onto his father's hand and whispering tearfully. He was whispering to me.
"I'm such an idiot… I should never have thought I could beat Clemont, let alone push you that far…" I wished with all my might that I could wake from the distant world I was in but I just couldn't. It agonised me that I couldn't smile comforting words at the boy and wipe away his tears. "I'm so sorry…"
"It's not your fault, buddy…"
My heart ached when the husky voice of my best friend of many, many years filled my ears. It made me feel useless that I couldn't even get back to consciousness, not even for dear Ash.
"Hey guys, if you don't mind I'd like to have a moment alone with Pikachu…"
While everyone nodded and excited the room after patting my best friend comfortingly on the back, once again I tried to break free. It was useless. I was trapped. Trapped in my own unconsciousness. Trapped because of my own weakness.
"Oh Pikachu…"
I could hear my dear friend sob quietly as he sat down on the chair next to my platform, taking my face in his now manly hands.
"I have to be strong for Ben and the others and of course for you, but it's just so hard…" I growled with anger at myself as I once again tried but failed to come back to the real world. Ash continued, talking to me between sobs and stroking my temples with his fingers. "I don't wanna lose you buddy… I love you so much… I may be an adult now but I still need you just as much as I did when I was ten…" Ash paused his emotional sentences before out of nowhere; he banged the side of his chair desperately, the tears flowing down his cheeks. "You can't leave me now!"
That was it. At that moment I knew I was being weak before and tried with every strength that my limp body had left. I played his words over and over again in my head, using my best friend's emotion as a drive to get me away from this distant vortex. Out of nowhere, and after much trying, the pure whiteness of the land I was previously in disappeared and the real world formed in front of my eyes, vivid and beautiful. My sight was blurry, of course I was. I was weak, of course I was. But I was alive, and that's all that counts.
"You're alive…" gasped Ash when he saw my round orbs were beginning to open a little more as each second went by. I managed to nod my frail head in conformation before letting out a quiet cha for him and him alone to hear. "You didn't leave me…"
I was weaker than I had ever been ever in my life before but somehow I managed to climb onto his lap although Ash did most of the work. I had been giving strength by my best friend's lack of it.
"You didn't leave me… Thank you, I still need you so much…"
Now I was conscious, I could watch with my very own eyes my dear Ash's reaction as he closed his eyes, holding me close against his peacefully beating heart.
The even pace of my very best friend's heart calmed me down from the trauma I had just faced but his next words comforted me even more so.
"You're gonna be just fine…"
As these words escaped his lips, I sighed, snuggling further into Ash's chest. I was gonna be just fine, he said. And he was right.
The End.
There you go, thanks so much for reading... How was it? . And of course, Pikachu is gonna survive this, I don't think I could do a story where he actually dies... T.T Thanks a lot for reading and will probably see you at the weekend for a happier Christmas oneshot :P Oh yes and Bonnie and Clemont are in it... I love them :3
