Author's notes:
Another quick idea I got, hope you all enjoy it! Ash is 16, I kinda put the
law where a trainer may only begin training a pokemon at that age, but may
learn about pokemon at an earlier age. (Kinda like a driver's license) 


All purpose electric pokemon-girl Pikachu! - episode 00

Rain...

A dark and stormy night...

"Uh, huh, huh..." a boy breathed as he ran through  the storm, burdened by
the weight on his arms.

I gotta get to him in time, Ash thought as he ran.

"Pika-chu..." Pikachu whispered, cradled in his arms.

"Hang in there Pikachu, Professor Oak will help you, just hang in there..."
He encouraged as the storm continued to pound away on him.

"Pika..." Pikachu agreed, closing its eyes to sleep.

Ash neared the gates of Pallet town and crossed them, running up quickly
and through Professor's Oak's gate and through a side door he knew the
professor always kept open for visitors.

"Professor! Professor!" Ash cried looking for him.

"Yes, yes, what is - Ash! What happened to you and-!" Professor Oak cried
as he walked in seeing Ash a mess and Pikachu wounded in his arms.

"Oh Professor, you gotta help me, Pikachu is...is..."

"Ok Ash, bring Pikachu down to the lab. And I'll see what I can do..."

"Yes Professor..." Ash said as he did what he was told and followed
Professor Oak down to the lab.

***
Pikachu laid on a recovery bed as Professor Oak stood beside a terminal and
looked at it. He was not pleased with what he saw as he went over to Ash
and sat beside him on the bench.

"Ash could you tell me what happened?"

"Yes professor... When Pikachu and I first left Pallet a few days ago, we
encountered a flock of Spearow. We tried to run away, but there was just
too many of them. Viridian City was too far and Pikachu was hurt bad, so I
used myself as a shield against them...but Pikachu threw herself at
them..." Ash said, tears brimming in his eyes. 

"Then there was a light... I remember falling down...darkness came quickly
then. When I opened my eyes, Pikachu was...was - It's all my fault! It's
all my fault. If I hadn't - she wouldn't have...Professor you've got to
help Pikachu, please..." Ash cried grabbing Professor Oaks collar, pulling
him close before he sank his head and wept on his chest instead. 

"Ash..."

Professor Oak, studied the pokemon in the recovery chamber briefly before
turning his eyes on a panel on the far wall in front of him, knowing all
too well what was inside as he thought...

"Hmm, Ash, don't worry..." 

"Professor..." Ash managed to say in between sobs.

"Pikachu's going to be fine..."

***

Several weeks later...

***

Professor Oaks residence...

"Wake, up! Wake, Up!, Wake, Up! Time to get up!" cried a cute female voice
from inside accompanied by some weird metallic clapping.

"Time to get up Ash-chu!"

A blond amber-eyed girl walked into the room where Ash was sleeping in
curled on top of his bed. 
The girl threw aside the pan she held as she yanked the covers off the boy
and smiled down at him.

"Good morning Ash-chu!"

"Uhh..."Ash groaned as he stared up at her.
 
"Good morning!" Pikachu cried as she fixed up his bed.

"Uhh, what time is it..."

"It's 7:30am, breakfast is ready..." Pikachu stated as she handed him a
toothbrush before running off and out of the room.

***

"Papa-san? Papa-san you'll be late." Pikachu said as she peeked through the
crack in the lab door before walking in.

"Yeah, yeah..." Professor Oak replied as he typed away on his computer
before taking another puff on his cigarette.

"Papa-san what are you doing?" Pikachu asked as she stood beside the
professor, looking at the screen, hands pressed firmly on the table.

"It's done!" he cried as he rubbed his cigarette on Pikachu's hand who
seemed unfazed by it. 

"Oh, hi Pikachu...Pikachu..." Professor Oak said as he noticed the still
smoking bud of the cigarette on Pikachu's hand.

"Hmm?" Pikachu asked as she looked at Professor Oak confused. 

"Your hand..." Professor Oak stated simply, pointing at the still smoking
bud.

"Ahh...<she laughed>...OUCHHHHHHH-CHUUU!" 

***

Ash still in the bathroom, unexpectedly got a rude awakening as he screamed
in surprise.
 
***

"Was that all right?"

"A...a...yes..." Professor Oak said, hands still pressed firmly to his
ears.

***

Outside of Professor Oak's residence.

"Thank you professor..." Ash said as he shook Professor Oaks hand, Pikachu
in a sleeveless yellow shirt and short tan pants and hiking boots stood
beside him as he did.

"So I see you're ready to begin your pokemon adventure anew..."

"Yes, during the past weeks I've stayed with you, I've learned many things,
but I never forgot what my dream was..."

Professor Oak nodded his head in understanding. "You two take care now
alright."

"Yes, we will...thank you."

"Papa-san follow us?" Pikachu asked Professor Oak.

"No Pikachu, it's time that you see the real world yourself..."

"But why..." Pikachu asked almost in tears.

"I have to stay, don't worry, you can talk to me using the PC..."

"Pikachu going to miss you..." Pikachu cried over his shoulder when she
threw herself at Professor Oakl and hugged him. Surprised at first,
Professor Oak hugged her back before pushing her away gently and looking at
her eyes. 

"So will I, take care..."

Pikachu nodded as she turned her eyes upon Ash who simply nodded and
smiled, offering his hand as she took it and walked over to his side. 

"Good bye Professor..." Ash stated calmly.

"Good luck Ash, may you find your dream."

"Thank you." Ash said, nodding his head.

"Good bye papa-san..."

"Take care, Pikachu..."

Pikachu nodded her head as Ash turned around, pulling on Pikachu's arm
slightly as he lead her away. They walked a few meters away already,
rounding on top of a hill when Pikachu suddenly broke free from Ash's grip.


"Good bye papa-san! Good bye!" Pikachu cried waving her arms as Professor
Oak paused from going in to return it and smile. Pikachu dropped her arm as
she turned to look at Ash who waited patiently beside a tree as Pikachu ran
to him, holding his hand.

"Are you ok Pikachu?"

"Yes..." Pikachu replied, wiping her tears as she smiled.

Ash smiled as well as they walked on together, holding hands...

Looking at the moon and feeling lonely...

Envious of love, not of immoratality...
