Pokemon: Friends to the End
Chapter 19: Twice Smitten Once Shy!
Dawn was entranced by a wild Pachirisu.
The Electric Type then notice her looking at it.
"Your so cute!"Dawn said sweetly.
Brock watches while holding a cup as Ash and Denise walks up to him.
"Hey Brock, what's up?"Ash asked.
"Dawn has been staring at that pokemon for a while now, I think she wants to catch it."Brock admitted.
"Let's see."Denise responded as she checked on her Pokédex.
"Pachirisu, the EleSquirrel Pokémon."Denise's Pokedex said. "It gathers static electricity and hides fur balls along with its favorite fruit under the eaves of houses."
Pachirisu chases its tail and grooms itself.
"AW!I can't stand it, I want you!"Dawn commented while blushing. "Now Piplup go!"
Her pokeball opened and Piplup came out.
"Piplup!"
"Piplup use Peck!"Dawn ordered.
Piplup's beck began to glow as it charged at Pachirisu.
Pachirisu uses Sweet Kiss to confuse Piplup shocking Dawn.
"That was sweet kiss, Piplup is totally confused."Brock commented.
"That Pachirisu is something."Ash admitted.
"You got that right."Denise agreed.
"Piplup return."Dawn said and takes out another pokeball. "Buneary, I choose you!"
She threw her Poké Ball and sends out Buneary.
"Buneary!"
"Buneary, Dizzy Punch!"Dawn ordered.
Buneary attacks Pachirisu with Dizzy Punch.
Pachirisu recovers and attacks with Spark.
"Pachirisu used Spark."Brock stated.
"Buneary Ice Beam!"Dawn ordered.
Buneary fires several Ice Beam attacks but Pachirisu quickly dodges them.
Pachirisu uses Discharge to attack not just Buneary, but the four trainers and Pikachu as well.
The four trainers and Pikachu collapse in the ground.
"Ouch..."Denise muttered in pain.
"That furball rocks."Ash remarked.
"Yeah, but I think that furball is getting tired."Brock stated.
"Now's my chance!"Dawn commented proudly. "Piplup come on out!"
She threw her pokeball and Piplup came out again.
"Yeah, Piplup's confusion is all gone."Ash said with a smile.
"Bubblebeam go!"Piplup ordered.
Piplup fires BubbleBeam at Pachirisu.
"And now is time to go pokeball!"Dawn stated.
She throws her Poké Ball that draws Pachirisu in and rattles a few times before stopping.
The catch was successful!
"Alright, I just caught a Pachirisu!"Dawn said happily.
Piplup and Buneary cheers in victory.
"Well done, Dawn."Denise admitted as she and the boys went up to her.
Dawn began brimming with excitement over the catch.
Later the night...
Dawn dreams about winning her next Pokémon Contest with Pachirisu.
"With your none stop cutness and my skill and beauty that Floaroma Contest is ours for sure!"She thought kindly and giggled. "Hey that tickles!"
Dawn wakes up during the night and admires Pachirisu sleeping.
"Aw such a cute thing."She remarked sweetly.
The Next Morning...
Denise was training Hoot Hoot and Eevee for their Pokemon Contest in Floaroma Town.
"Awsome, you two were great that Floaroma Ribbon will be good as ours!"Denise commented proudly.
Eevee smirked. "Eevee."
"Hoot Hoot!"Hoot Hoot said with a smile.
In her tent, Dawn grooms her hair as usual getting it down.
Then she came out of the tent.
Brock and Ash sat on chairs with drinks on the table.
"Yes, time for another badge, what do you say Pikachu?"Ash asked with a smile.
"Pika!"Pikachu replied happily.
"That's great getting a badge after hours of hard training."Dawn admitted and then smirked. "But this time its my turn to win a contest ribbon!"
Denise and the boys look at her in shock.
"My Pachirisu and I gonna turn the contest role in its ear!"Dawn said confidently.
She then started running off.
"Hey sis, are you sure is a good idea to take that Elesquirrel out?"Denise called out.
"It will be fine, nothing to worry about!"Dawn shouted.
"And that's when mum says she worries the most."Denise mumbled while sweat dropping.
Eevee sighed sadly, while Hoot Hoot shook his head.
Dawn runs out to the field to begin.
"Alright, let the training begin!"She said confidently. "Go Pachirisu!"
She brings out Pachirisu, but moments after it comes out, it suddenly darts away.
Dawn shrieked clenching her hat. "Wait Pachirisu, come back here!"
Pachirisu comes back to its trainer.
"Your fast, Pachirisu."Dawn admitted with a smile.
But when she pets it, Pachirisu fires Discharge before running away leaving her hair sticking out in static.
"And unpredictable as well."Dawn added and notice her hair was messy. "I spend all those ours doing my hair and now this!"
She then began brushing her hair and then notice Pachirisu was starring at her.
"Alright you, rascal, return."Dawn commented as she stood up.
She tried to return her electric type to its pokeball, but it's so quick it dodges the recall beams.
"I had just about enough!"Dawn stated impatiently. "Piplup, Buneary go!"
Her pokeballs opened and the two pokemon came out.
"Bring Pachirisu back!"Dawn ordered.
Piplup and Buneary began chasing after the EleSqiurrel however the Electric Type was too fast and runs around the field in a blitz of speed.
After a while Piplup trips over and knocks itself out and Buneary collapses from exhaustion.
Pachirisu was still full of energy and having fun then bounces back before starting playing with Buneary's ear.
"I had have it!"Dawn complained.
"Have of what?"Denise asked.
"Pachirisu is out of control and keeps running all over the place."Dawn replied.
"Some people would call that really healthy."Brock stated.
"Don't worry Dawn, we'll help ya out."Ash assured.
"Thank you."Dawn said with a grateful smile.
"Pikachu, grab that Pachirisu!"Ash ordered.
Pikachu goes after Pachirisu.
However the Mouse pokemon also finds itself unable to keep up with Pachirisu staying far ahead, only slowing down to allow Pikachu to draw nearer to it so it can outrun him.
"That Pachirisu won't quit!"Ash said impatiently. "Okay Staravia, Aipom, Turtwig get Pachirisu!"
Now all of Ash's Pokémon are giving chase but Pachirisu was having the time of its life and quickly runs circles around all of them.
Piplup and Buneary recover and get together with the others to surround Pachirisu.
They all attempt to dog-pile Pachirisu, but it runs away at the last minute leaving the Pokémon to slam into each other.
Brock, Ash and Denise sweat dropped at the sight.
"Speedy."Denise mumbled.
"And none stop."Brock added.
"Okay, Eevee, Hoot Hoot go help them out!"Denise stated.
Eevee and Hoot Hoot both nodded and began to chase Pachirisu with the other pokemon.
Eventually Pachirisu gets cornered at a cliff edge and it fires Discharge at all of the Pokémon knocking all out, but Pikachu, who was still left totally exhausted by the chase.
Pachirisu laughs, but then faints having finally exhausted itself.
The four heroes ran up to them.
"Aw Hoot Hoot are you okay?"Denise asked worriedly as she picked up her Flying Type.
"Hoot Hoot."Hoot Hoot said weakly.
"Look at Pachirisu."Dawn stated.
"Probably used its power and collapse."Brock admitted.
Dawn runs up to Pachirisu and grabs it.
"Come on, your just fine."She said shaking it a little bit.
"Dawn, I think you shouldn't-"Denise warned.
But then the Electric type unconsciously uses Discharge again ruining Dawn's hair.
"Do that."Denise finished with a frown.
Ash and Brock smiled cheekily at the sight.
"Now you three stop looking at me and turn around right this instant!"Dawn shrieked.
A While Later...
Brock, Ash and Denise were having their drinks, while Dawn was in her tent fixing her tent.
"Dawn's being there a long time."Brock commented.
"I think Pachirisu is freaking her out a little."Ash said.
"Well, I can't argue with that."Denise stated.
Then Dawn came out of the tent feeling sad.
"Hey Dawn, you alright?"Ash called out and then notice her look. "I guess not."
"Dawn's not looking good at all."Denise said sadly.
Dawn stops out onto the field and releases Pachirisu.
"You know your really fast."Dawn commented with a sad smile. "Not only that you love to run and run, but to be honest, I was wrong when we thought we could ever be friends, I always seem to learn things the hard way."
Pachirisu then began snuggling on her leg.
"It's okay, your free now, which means you can run anywhere you want."Dawn said as she stood up.
Pachirisu smiled as it went at the top of her head.
"Now, now its over, good bye Pachirisu!"Dawn cried as she ran off leaving Pachirisu in the field.
After finishing their lunch, Denise and the boys prepare to pack up, but the trio notice Dawn's low mood.
Brock, Ash and Denise ran up to Dawn, who was sitting in a rock.
"Hey Dawn, whats wrong?"Denise asked. "Where's Pachirisu?"
"I let it go."Dawn answered quietly.
The trio were completely shocked.
"But why would you want Pachirisu so much?"Brock asked.
"The idea I could handle that pokemon in ease."Dawn responded in awkwardness.
"What are you talking about?"Ash asked. "Are you pulling my leg?"
"Well, look at all the trouble, I caused to everybody."Dawn said sadly.
"Hey sis, some pokemon are not easy to get along in the beginning, but all them do deserve a second chance."Denise commented.
"Yeah, its a little too early of giving up."Brock stated.
"Well its too late now, I'm sure Pachirisu has run off and forgot all about me."Dawn admitted in sadness.
"Don't count on it, it seemed that Pachirisu had a load lot of fun with you."Ash said.
"Yeah, maybe."Dawn answered.
As Dawn takes time to reflect, she continually thinks of Pachirisu even noting a cloud shaped like Pachirisu.
Dawn then walked up to her twin sister and her companions, who were recovering their pokemon.
"You know, I guess we need to have Pachirisu you know."She admitted.
Brock, Denise and Ash smiled in approval and stood up.
"Of course, you'll need to catch it again."Brock reminded.
"And we'll help you do it."Denise commented with a wink.
"Well, thank you guys."Dawn said gently.
"No prob."Ash answered.
"You have gotten far."Ash remarked.
"With luck, we're sure to find it in no time at all."Denise stated.
Dawn nodded with a small smile. "Yeah."
A While Later...
The four heroes rushed to get Pachirisu, but when they arrived Team Rocket was with it.
"What you three doing with Pachirisu?!"Ash demanded.
Team Rocket began to do their motto.
"Listen is that a twerp voice that I hear?"
"Is speaking to me loud and clear!"
"On the Wind!"
"Passed the Stars!"
"In your ear!"
"We're bringing real crisis and brick neck pain!"
"Dashing hope putting fear in it's place!"
Their balloon comes up and they go on it.
"A rose by any other name is just as sweet!"
"When everything is worse our work is complete!"
"Jessie!"
"James!"
"Meowth that's name!"
"Putting the do gooders in their place!"
"We're Team Rocket!"
"We're in your face!"
"Hey that Pachirisu belongs to my sister!"Denise snapped.
"But when Jessie threw her pokeball, it had no size."James reminded.
"And if it was a land lord it wouldn't have done that."Meowth said.
"So today is not your day, so lets your property pull off that pokemon."Jessie commented with a smile.
Dawn didn't say a word.
"Thought so perhaps Pachirisu wants to walk in the wild side."Jessie admitted with a smirk.
"Alright, its true, I let it go."Dawn replied. "But I'm catching it again!"
"Well, well that maybe in your twerpish wish list, but Pachirisu has other plans."Jessie stated.
"You think so?"Dawn asked.
"Why not let Pachirisu make the final decision?"Jessie suggested.
"I guess so."Dawn admitted.
"Dawn have faith, I'm sure Pachirisu would choose you."Ash stated.
"Alright, give me the last piece of food, we have left."Jessie said.
James and Meowth look at her in shock.
"We'll have none left for ourselves!"Meowth panicked.
"You may need to fast, but not me."James admitted.
"GIVE ME THE FOOD AND CUT THE WEIGHT JOKE!"Jessie shouted and received the bag. "You know a way to a pokemon's heart its through its stomach."
Pachirisu rushes to Jessie, but it quickly uses Discharge to knock her out with Meowth and James before grabbing all the food.
"Pachirisu doesn't like those three at all."Dawn commented with a smile.
"Excuse me twerp, but I hadn't see Pachirisu give you shock waves!"Jessie snapped.
"Talk about a positive speed you could consider a job in politics."Brock said.
"Come on, Dawn now's your chance."Ash encouraged.
"Right, I'm sorry and I really want you to come with me."Dawn stated.
She steps forward to Pachirisu, who walks up to her.
"You see Dawn?"Denise asked with a smile. "Its seems Pachirisu hasn't forgotten about you."
"Pachirirsu would never go with you after what you've been through!"Jessie growled.
Team Rocket rushes back to a bush and attempt to use a machine hand to catch it, but it dodges easily.
They retreat to their balloon and use the arm to fire gumballs at Pachirisu, preventing it from moving.
Ash sends Pikachu and the two sisters brings out her Pokémon, but the gumballs quickly immobilize all of the Pokémon.
Dawn shields Pachirisu as the gumballs immobilize all of them as well.
"Ew now I know how gum feels like."Denise muttered.
Meowth uses the perfume to free Pachirisu as it darts away.
"This stuff really grows on you after a while."He stated.
Pachirisu runs a few steps back.
"Here Pachirisu."Jessie cooed. "Come to Jessie."
"Ran away hurry!"Dawn shouted.
The Elesquirrel jumps onto Jessie's shoulder and smiled.
"Aw, you see?"Jessie said with a smile. "I'm basically this cutie pie's cutie pie."
"But how?"Dawn asked weakly and looked down in sadness.
"So better next time, bye!"Jessie commented as she walked away.
"But what about Pikachu?"James asked.
"Its time we don't fill our hands too much, one is enough for today."Jessie commented.
Team Rocket gets back onto their balloon and escape with Pachirisu.
"What do you know?"Meowth laughed. "I think a little is sense got brought to our sensitive queenie!"
"Or is just a guess!"James said.
"Pachirisu!"Dawn called out.
On the balloon...
Jessie giggled. "And what's a queen without an adorable subject? Sweetie love of my life, baby doll!"
Pachirisu suddenly uses Discharge to destroy the balloon and send Team Rocket flying.
"Next time I'll beat my head against the wall!"Jessie complained.
"Actually I expected you to be smarter."James said with a shrug.
"All things must pass!"Meowth commented.
"WE'RE BLASTING OFF AGAIN!"Team Rocket screamed as they disappeared in the sky.
Back in the Field...
"I guess Pachirisu didn't like me after all."Dawn said sadly.
"I wouldn't be so sure."Ash stated.
"See for your self, sis."Denise admitted with a smile
Pachirisu walks back with the removal potion in its mouth snuggling up to Dawn.
"You came back!"Dawn said happily.
"I guess Pachirisu did like you."Brock commented.
Dawn hugs Pachirisu as it stores energy raising her hair.
"Aw well?"She asked. "That could wait a little later."
Then the four heroes and their pokemon were released from the sticky gum.
Dawn sticks out a Poké Ball and Pachirisu goes in, willingly letting itself be caught for the second time.
"Yay this Pachirisu is mine!"Dawn cheered.
Piplup and Buneary cheered in joy.
Brock, Ash and Denise smiled in approval.
"Awsome, sis now you have your third pokemon."Denise said proudly.
Now, Dawn has more resolve to get her first Contest Ribbon at Floaroma Town.
