The Journey of Ash Ketchum(Kanto)

Pikachu

Pikachu

The gang were taking a break in a quiet forest. During their journeys, they met a girl named Duplica & her two Ditto & in the process of training, Serena's Nidoran evolved into Nidorina.

"Ah, this certainly is peaceful, isn't it?" Meowth sighed

"Certainly is" Brock agreed

"Hey Ash, since your Squirtle evolved into Wartortle, who do you think is gonna be next? Bulbasaur or Charmander?" Serena asked curiously

"Who knows? We'll just have to wait & see." Ash said

Then Pikachu spotted & went into the bushes

"Huh? Pikachu?" Ash said as he followed Pikachu

The gang followed Pikachu & when they stopped, they saw big horde of Pikachu

"Wow, that's a lot of Pikachus." Serena said in awe

"It's like a Pikachu Paradise." Meowth said

"Pika" Pikachu said a he went up to the horde

The horde saw Pikachu as he stopped & stood in place. The horde stared in silent, then one wild Pikachu went up him & sniffed. Then the wild Pikachu offered its tail in greeting, which Ash's Pikachu took. Then the rest of the horde came & greeted Ash's Pikachu.

"Looks like they've accepted Pikachu as part of their horde." Brock said

"Hey Pikachu." Ash called out

"Pika" Ash's Pikachu said as he came back to Ash before introducing him to the horde.

The horde got close to Ash feeling unsure, a few started sniffing him.

"Pikachu." One Pikachu said offering an apple to Ash

"For me?" Ash asked

"Pika" the Pikachu nodded

"Thanks." Ash said, taking the apple & taking a bite out of it. He felt pressure on his legs, he looked & he saw two Pikachus nuzzling him.

"Aww, I think they like you, Ash." Serena said in adoration

Then several more Pikachus started climbing on Ash & topple him

"Whoa." Ash said, falling back as the Pikachus started licking his face

"Now we know they really like you." Brock laughed

"Oh c'mon, this is too much." Ash laughed

"Y'know, I noticed something." Meowth said

"What's that?" Brock asked

"I saw that the ends of some of the Pikachus' tails are straight like Boss' Pikachu & some of their tails are shaped like hearts." Meowth said

"That's because the Pikachu's tails that are straight are males & the Pikachus with heart-shaped tails are females" Brock explained

"Really?" Meowth said

"Yes, some Pokémon have different appearances due to their genders." Brock said

"Wow, I didn't know that." Meowth said in amazement

"Pika Pika!" One Pikachu called out as Ash stood up

"What?" Ash said

"Pika Pikachu." Pikachu said

"This Pikachu is challenging us to a battle." Meowth said

"Alright, let's do it" Ash said with determination
