PIKACHU'S VACATION
One
summer day, Pikachu and the other Pokémon owned by Ash
and his friends comes to Pokémon Land, a park only for
Pokémon to spend their holiday. They are all joyful.
However, after a while of their coming through the gate,
Togepi starts to cry. He is now a baby, and hungry.
Startled, yet wanting him to stop crying, Pikachu pulls
his cheeks to make a funny face. Squirtle also tries,
though in vain. Bulbsaur finds an apple ripe on a branch
of a tree, and shoots leaves to cut it off. The fruit
drops, and rolls to stop right before Psyduck. He takes
it, and then, to Pikachu's surprise, eats it. Togepi
weeps, his cry keener, until he fells asleep. Pikachu is
relieved, but Raichu, Cubone, Maril, a mouse monster, and
Bruno, a bulldog one, pass near them, chatting loudly.
Squirtle asks the group to be quiet, making them angry.
As Bulbasaur joins, two groups glares at each other,
ready to fight. Pikachu tries hard to soothe them.
Togepi
totters to a river valley, and onto a log over it.
Pikachu turns pale, and follows onto it, crying,
"Pipipi (means 'Togepi')." The log moves
suddenly. Pikachu is startled, while Togepi is pleased.
It rolls down the valley in a high speed, throwing
Pikachu into the river. He looks around quickly for
Togepi, finding him at a side of the valley. He sighs,
relieved.
As he is
back, carrying Togepi on his back, he gives another sigh
to have seen the two groups still quarrel.
They decide
to have Squirtle and Maril have a swimming match.
Obstructed by some of other Pokémon, both swim with
great guts, and Maril wins. But their fight doesn't
finish, for they are not satisfied yet.
Raichu's
electric sparks sparkle, hitting the ground near Togepi.
Pikachu dashes near him, shielding him.
A spark hits
Pikachu. He stiffens his body, shocked. Raichu and other
Pokémon of his group laugh.
Pikachu
looks back, his eyes lifted, and burning with rage. He
goes close to Raichu, glaring at him. Raichu stares back.
A tense hash is between them for all of a minute...
They dash
out suddenly. They run and run and run, down paths,
through a river, crashing against Pokémon on their way;
Meowth, who sleep on a grassland, and Charizard.
Charizard flares up, and dashes after them, but two
naughty boys don't care. Charizard fails to capture them,
as his head is pushed into a small hole.
Puzzlement
are in minds of Pokémon, except for Raichu's group,
including Charizard. The hole is too small for his head,
and he cannot pull it out no matter how many times he
tries to pull back. Pokémon tie his legs tight with the
end of a long and thick rope, grips it and pulls it with
all their mights. They try over and over, but Charizard's
head is still in the hole. Tears fills his eyes, as he is
scared.
Raichu and
his group watch them, keeping a short distance. Pikachu
goes near them, and asks, "pika, pika pika chu.
Pikachu. (Help us. Please)" They agree with him, and
goes to take the rope, except Cubone. They try harder,
and Charizard's head is almost out, yet still in. Tears
roll down his cheeks.
Cubone's
hands grip at the point an inch before Pikachu's on the
rope. Pikachu is delighted. They try once more, much
harder. Finally, Charizard is pulled back, his head out
the hole.
The Two
groups are now friends. They repair places which have
been destroyed by their fight, and play together the rest
of the day. In the evening, Ash and his friends come to
take Pikachu. As he calls Pikachu, a big smile is on
Pikachu's face. "Pikapi! (Ash)" Pikachu runs
straight into his arms.
