Dis: Oh, yeah. I "own" a anime show that has sold over 500 billon dollars in almost every part of the world while I'm currently at the moment trying to make up new Poke's for Diamond/Pearl. Getta life. { } This means thought. ****Back with Ash**** By: StarrybluMew A/N: Well, This series is complete, so it won't interfer with Jade Hearts or Through Thick and Thin. Also, I don't know much about the up-and-coming Pokemon games Dimond/Pearl, so bear with me. Also, check out Serebii.net about Shinou in D/P. It has more info about that game than I do, lol. The light reflected off of the silver stars that hung up in the night sky. Hoothoots and Noctowls hooted, and then flew off of the tree branches to look for any Pokechow that was left. In the dark, sitting on a tiny hill, was a yellow rodent. It's black tipped ears flattened up against it's head, as a tiny whimper escaped his mouth. A crystal teardrop rolled down his red cheeks, and dripped onto the grass. He had been there for a month now, and everyday was like a living hell. Ash had left all of his Pokemon, including Pikachu himself, in Prof. Oak's care. Ash would be traveling into a new region called Shinou, only Ash didn't go alone. Oak had given him a blue squirrel. It looked like a complete nut, and it was called Pachirisu. It leapt into Ash's arms the minute it spotted him. She seemed so happy, snuggled up against Ash while all Pikachu could do was watch in shock. And anger. Next thing Pikachu knew, was that the dam squirrel, along with Ash, had walked right out the door, and was gone forever. Well, until Ashy-boy would drop Pachirisu just like he did Pikachu. A feeling of both rage and sorrow welled up inside Pikachu's stomache. He tried forgetting about Ash, but after all they had been through, it was easier said than done. The only thing that seemed to matter anymore was Ash. Thoughts of him ran through Pikachu's head day and night. Ash had told Pikachu before they got to the lab that he would be leaving on a new quest, a new journey, so he needed a new starter. Pikachu kept screaming at Ash in his Pika language, but it was no use. Ash had already made up his mind. He had already gotten rid of Brock, Max, and May. Now it was Pikachu's turn. {Why did I ever trust a human to begin with? Why?} Pikachu thought bitterly. {Why did he choose that stupid squirrel over me?} He slammed his tiny fist down onto the grass, making a nearby Ratata scatter away. { I'm the starter! I should be the one to travel with him! Not...not that thing!} Pikachu quickly got up, and ran. He ran through the forest that surrounded Prof. Oak's home. He didn't know why, but running seemed to be the only solution. It made him feel just a bit better. Soon, Pikachu came to a stop. Panting, he looked up. An angelic figure stood before him. It gave Pikachu a heart warming smile. Her long, like-dress, gently touched the ground. {Why, hello.} She thought. Confused, Pikachu perked his ears up, one twitching slightly. "Pikak chu?" (Trans: Who are you?) he asked. {I'm Milly. You are?} Milly thought, using her telepathy. The Gardevoir tilted her head from side to side. {Oh, well I....I don't even know anymore.} Pikachu admitted, his gaze down at the grass. {Why? Is there something brothering you?} Milly asked, full of concern. Pikachu whimpered as he gave a silght nodd. "Pika kachupi pika...." (Trans: "My trainer abandoned....me.") Milly sighed, then thought {Oh, well why don't you go see him?} Pikachu shook his head, trying to hide the teardrops glistening in his eye. "Pika.....chu...." (Trans: I.....can't....") Milly raised her erm, whatever Pokemon have for eyebrows. {Oh, so why can't you?} Pikachu nodded his head in the direction of the chain- link fence. "Pikachu chu pika pi." (Trans: "Prof. Oak wouldn't like it.") Milly blinked. {Well, if you hate it here, then why are you staying? You deserve to be free.} With that thought, a bright, golden glow, outlined her body, and she asked, using telepathy, {Please picture the place you'd like to be at in your mind.} At first, Pikachu pictured himself back in his nice, lush, forest. The one he used to be in before he had Ash. Then, a much happier thought came to his mind. A picture of Ash, laughing happily while carrying Pikachu in his arms. Both with a smile on their faces. {Home,} he thought. { I'd like to be with Ash. He's...he's like my home.} Soon, Pikachu was engolfed in a golden light, and was transported to the region of Shinou, the same place Ash was. A/N: In order for me to keep this story going, I'll need some reviews. Either that, or a plate with hot, soft choclate chip cookies, mmmmmmmm......cookies.......
