The Life Before
Part One: Pikachu's Gang

Now Pikachu started hanging out with a tough crew. So one day Pikachu decided to 
form a gang called the Pika Force. The members besides Pikachu were: Gengar, 
Wartortle, Charmeleon, and Raichu. Now Pikachu made bandanas for the gang to 
wear on their heads. They were pitch black in color. So first they went to a 
schoolyard and picked on the younger Pokemon. They then went and spray-painted 
their gang name on all the walls. Now Growlithe walked over to them to tell them 
to stop but all they did was laugh at him. "I'm warning you guys if you don't 
quit you'll go to Poke jail" Growlithe said. Pikachu could care less about what 
Growlithe had to say. Raichu smiled as he saw a venerable young female 
Charmander walking up. Raichu quickly grabbed her purse and ran off with it. 
Later Pikachu ditched the purse but took the money. Wartortle however was 
thinking about what Growlithe had said and wasn't so sure about keeping the 
money. But Pikachu assured him that they would be just fine and wouldn't get 
caught.

Pikachu told the gang that tonight they would spray-paint their gang name on the 
wall of the new building downtown. Everyone was excited except Wartortle who was 
sure they would get caught. Pikachu assured him that stupid Growlithe would 
never catch them.

So they snuck out and headed for the building. Wartortle said he would stand 
lookout for the others. Pikachu agreed to let him do this. So pikachu took the 
gang to the spot then told Wartortle to stand guard and yell the code word 
kicker when he saw Growlithe. Pikachu opened the backpack and took out the 
spray-paint cans. Pikachu handed one to Raichu, one to Gengar, and one to 
Charmeleon. They were only an hour into spray-painting when Wartortle started 
yelling kicker. The whole gang except for Pikachu scattered. Come back Pikachu 
yelled but no one heard or cared what he said. Soon Growlithe was upon Pikachu 
who was still yelling to no avail. Growlithe quickly grabbed Pikachu and holled 
him off to Poke jail.
