Pika Paradise

Chapter 5 - That was a close one

Solar woke up to the sound of pawsteps. Solar's ears perked up and he raised his head. Who's that? Solar opened his eyes and saw a Pikachu approaching him. Solar recognized the Pikachu once she had came closer. Oh, its Velvet, hi. Velvet blinked at him. "Everything fine? Blending in with the others?" Velvet spoke in a calm tone while staring at him. Solar nodded and stood up to stretch. "Yep, I met the other Pichu here. They're cool." Solar stretched while Velvet seemed satisfied with that answer and turned to leave Solar in piece. "Also, Mint wanted to speak with you." Velvet added on before trotting off. What for?

Solar walked over to the tree stump and chose a berry to eat. He found Mint at the entrance of camp. "Hi again, I wanted to know if you wanted to explore the forest with me. And maybe have Dash come along with us?" Mint went on. "The more the merrier, right?" Well if you say so. Solar nodded, eating his berry. "Okay, I'll go get Dash, stay right there!" Mint went away to go find Dash, while Solar waited patiently for Mint to return with Dash.

Mint return with Dash on her heels. Solar slowly blinked while staring at Mint, waiting for her to say something. "Okay so we're all ready?" Mint looked at Dash and then Solar. "Yup, ready." Solar spoke while Dash nodded. The three of them headed out of camp and into the forest.

The forest remained the same since the last time Solar was in it. Which was yesterday. Solar told himself. He took in the scenery. There was bushes and trees surrounding the forest, with occasional calls from other Pokemon. So does that mean we aren't the only group in the forest? Solar looked around, expecting a Pokemon to randomly appear. Solar shrugged and continued following Mint and Dash.

"What's this?" Mint's voice was filled with curiosity. Solar lifted his head up to see Mint tapping something. He came closer to get a better look at what Mint was talking about. Mint held a oddly shaped rock. The oddly shaped rock was somewhat transparent with something white on top of it, the bottom holding purple, liquid-like water in it. Weird. Why is that here? Solar thought while Mint held it up. As soon as Mint had held down the front of the white part of the rock, the rock had sprayed the purple water on Mint. "Eek!" Mint had flinched and thrown the weird rock off into the distance. "What was that?? Also are you okay?" Dash looked concerned for Mint.

Before she could respond, a buzzing sound could be heard before a yellow Pokemon appeared. It wore a angered expression alongside a bruise on its head, and what looked like a stinger. Oh, now THAT doesn't look pretty. Solar frowned, meanwhile Mint looked surprised. "Oops, did I do that.?" Mint laughed nervously while the yellow Pokemon frowned. "You tiny little bastard.." The yellow Pokemon buzzed while pointing its stinger at Mint.

"Err..my bad.." Mint blinked nervously as the yellow Pokemon came closer with its stinger. "My bad won't save you." The yellow Pokemon buzzed as it prepared to attack. Uh oh. Interfere this. Solar pushed himself in front of Mint in attempt to explain. "Wait! This was an accident, we didn't mean to throw that at you!" Solar spurted out. The yellow Pokemon only grunted before launching forward. No! Solar closed his eyes expecting himself to disappear in the moment, only to hear the sound of electricity. He opened his eyes to see Dash shocking the yellow Pokemon before it had reached Solar and Mint. "Greah!" The yellow Pokemon grunted in pain while Dash continued shocking it. Mint had stepped aside from Solar and started shocking the yellow Pokemon alongside Dash.

The yellow Pokemon shrieked in pain while Mint and Dash shocked it. Both Pichu eventually stopped shocking the the yellow Pokemon who looked beaten and weak. It fled with its wings barely supporting it until it was far from the three Pichu. Dash looked slightly tired but he still was confident. Suddenly his body was emitting a bright blue light. Solar gasped in astonishment as the bright light took over Dash's body. "He's evolving!" Mint spoke while staring in amazement as the blue light faded to reveal a Pikachu in Dash's place.

Dash looked at his paws and twisted to look at his tail. "I'm a Pikachu now!" He smiled before looking at Mint. "Cool!" She looked amazed. "We should get back to camp now." Dash blinked at Mint. She nodded and beckoned over Solar. "Come on, it's time to go back."

This was longg
