The Adventures Of Detective Pikachu

Chapter 2

"Weather reports state that a massive cold snap has swept across Ryme City. Residents are advised to-" Detective Pikachu watched as the newscaster reported weather and precautions of black ice on the road. He put on a coat, scarf and his hat, then walked out of his apartment to go to the Hi-Hat cafe.

"Hey Ludicolo, another round, extra shot." he sat down at the bar and hummed along to Jigglypuff's singing at the end of the cafe. He watched the old RGB tv, playing the Pokemon world championship. He asked Ludicolo, "You see anything strange recently?"

"Other then that it went from 80 to 2 degrees in one minute? Or that Articuno's gang is behind it? Not at all." He wiped the table, then said, "I'll tell you this, though," he whispered in Pikachu's ear, "They are meeting at the cold storage." He went back to the coffee machine and added some half & half. He gave it to Pikachu, who paid, then went out to see Pokémon in the air.

"Hey Moltres," Zapdos yelled, "will Articuno get in deep soil?"

"You freaking bet...." Moltres said, very gritty.

Pikachu walked down Main Street, seeing that everyone was helping with cold, from turning on street food heaters or space heaters. Everybody was tired of the cold and hurried to get home.

But not Detective Pikachu.
