The Life Before Part Four: A Trainer for Pikachu Pikachu knew today was not a normal day because the Professor was rushing about all morning long. Pikachu ate breakfast then headed into the valley as usual but today fewer Pokemon were there. No Bulbasaur or Squirtle or even Charmander. Pikachu was stunned by this and started yelling. Soon Pikachu started hearing strange sounds from creatures Pikachu had never seen before. Then Professor Oak came and grabbed Pikachu at which Pikachu shocked him. Professor told Pikachu to get into something called a Pokeball. Naturally Pikachu refused to get inside it. Professor opened the Pokeball and tried to put Pikachu into it but Pikachu ran away. Just then Gary came into the lab. "Gramps what are you doing?" Gary asked. "Trying to get Pikachu into this Pokeball" He replied. So Gary tried to help but Pikachu only shocked him. They ran all over the place trying to catch Pikachu but he just kept running away from them. Finally Gary cornered Pikachu and grabbed him getting shocked in the process. Then they put Pikachu in the Pokeball while Pikachu growled angrily at them. Soon trainers came in to get their first Pokemon. The first trainer chose the grass Pokemon Bulbasaur. The second trainer chose the fire Pokemon Charmander. Then it was Gary's turn he chose Squirtle the water Pokemon. Just as Gary was leaving Ash came rushing up late. He slammed into Gary but then headed into the lab to get his first Pokemon. He was upset when he found all the Pokemon gone but then Professor Oak said he had one more. Ash quickly agreed to take it. Out of the Pokeball came and electric Pokemon Pikachu. As soon as Ash saw it he hugged it causing it to shock him. Pikachu hated being a Pokemon trainer's Pokemon. Pikachu hated Ash and hated what he was a Pokemon trainer. No one can tame me Pikachu angrily thought. Pikachu would soon realize how much Ash cared for him. A flock of Spearows were attacking Pikachu and Ash gave it all he had to save Pikachu. Pikachu realizing that Ahs cared gave up the last of his energy to save Ash. Soon after Pikachu became friends with his trainer Ash Ketchum. The End
