"Wait... You wanna be called... Pika Sonic...?" Chris asked, looking bewildered at his newly formed Pikachu. Pika Sonic smiled and nodded in response, "Why not? I'm Pikachu, but I look like Sonic? So put them together, and you get Pika Sonic!" Chris held a thumbs up at Pika Sonic, but in his mind, he went, "That is literally what I did when I came up with Sonichu. You just rearranged the words a little" Quickly after, he spoke up, hesitation in his voice, "Alright. I-I think my name is better... But if that's what you really want, then sure." Pika Sonic's smile grew wide as he chuckled with glee, "Thanks, father! I knew you'd like it!" Chris just smiled and pet the little guy's head, hearing him purr a bit (Because apparently, Pikachus can purr). "So anyway, what do we do now? Go to Cerulean City?" Chris nodded, "Yeah. The Nurse Joy there is single, so I'm gonna see if I can win her over." Pika Sonic, at that moment, tilted his head to the side a little bit, "How though? You don't have any injured Pokémon. And I know this because I'm your ONLY Pokémon." Chris huffed a bit in response, crossing his arms, "Hey. I can still talk to her regardless. I mean, all she does is put Pokéballs on a table and they heal. It's not like I'll be disrupting anything. Shouldn't a girl be willing to hear a guy out? Especially if that girl is boyfriend-free?" Pika Sonic just nodded, not really knowing what he was talking about.

Chris always talking about love and wanted to find a girl in any way he can, and Pika Sonic was always there to support and encourage them. Pika Sonic didn't fully understand, but if it would make his father happy, he'll do anything. "Alright then, father. Let's get you that boyfriend-free girl!" Chris smiled brightly, "Now we're talking! Follow me!" Chris walked over to Route 4 with Pika Sonic behind him. He was still not used to his legs, though, so he hung onto Chris' leg until he finally got the hang of it. He laughed with wonder and awe, "Father, look! I'm walking!" "Nice job, Pika Sonic. Now come on." Chris smiled back and said with happiness.

As they walked, people looked over at Pika Sonic in a puzzled manner. There are many kinds of Pokémon in the world, but none looked like whatever Pika Sonic was. It made him a bit uncomfortable, what with how everyone was looking at him. He was even feeling a sense of fear, curling himself up a bit as they walked. Chris noticed and held his hand a bit, making Pika Sonic calm down a little. Pretty soon, they arrived inside the Pokémon Center. "Stay here. I'll be right back." Pika Sonic got scared and clung onto Chris' leg. "D-Don't leave me a-all alone again, f-f-father. I-I don't w-w-wanna be left a-alone." Chris got a bit embarrassed and picked up Pika Sonic and got him onto a lobby chair and gave Pika Sonic a stern look. "Hey. Calm down. We're both gonna be in the same room. I'm just gonna be right there." He pointed to the Nurse Joy, who was tending to a young trainer's Pokémon team. "I can't win over any girls if I have some sort of Poké thing crying on my leg the whole time. So you stay put." Pika Sonic just froze, a bit heartbroken, "P... Poké... Thing...? What's a... Poké thing...? I-Is that bad?" Tears stopped falling, but Pika Sonic was still very upset, making Chris feel bad. "What? No. No no no no no. I-I didn't mean it like that. L-Look, what I mean is... Umm..." Pika Sonic just stared into Chris' eyes, hoping for some sort of positive reinforcement. Chris just stood there, unable to find the right words. But then, he finally said something, "L-Look. I'll explain later, ok? You just stay there and behave. Got it?" Pika Sonic just looked down and muttered a slight, "Yes, father..." Chris finally walked over to the Nurse Joy, meanwhile Pika Sonic sat on the chair, just dangling his legs. It was strange. Just a moment ago, Chris was praising this new body. But now it seemed that he was ashamed of it. Pika Sonic started to think it over, and then started to think that maybe Chris had a point. He can never win over any girl with me clinging onto him. No girl would find that attractive. Once he thought that, Pika Sonic decided that staying out wad the best idea and let his father work his magic. He started to feel a lot better as he though, "I'll think of some sort of apology for father." Pika Sonic waited and tried to listen to the conversation between his father and Nurse Joy.

Nurse Joy has a concerned and a bit disgusted face on her, "Umm... I-I beg your pardon? You want me... To come over to your house... On a date?" Chris smirked and tried to use his best "swag" face. Though anyone could tell that this wasn't gonna work because Chris called it his "swag" face. "Yep. You and me. It'll be a fun date. No one to interrupt us. And if you ever wanna take things further, I can just take you to my room a lot quicker." Nurse Joy's eyes widened a bit in fear, "Wh-What? U-Umm... I'm sorry... But I'm gonna have to say no. I don't know a thing about you, and... Well I don't just go to a man's house on the first date." Chris' smooth demeanour was quickly replaced with angst and rage, "Are you serious? But you said you were boyfriend free!" "Yes, I did. But that does not mean that I will just do that sort of thing. I have standards." Nurse Joy replied calmly, trying to force a smile. "This is so unfair! You females are ALWAYS unfair to me! I come here, being all nice to you and THIS is how you repay me!? All of you women are exactly the same! You're the type of woman who would go for complete A holes and leave guys like ME out to the curb." Nurse Joy just loomed confused and looked over at her Blissy, who had the same expression. Frankly, it was a miracle that no one else was staring. After a few seconds, Nurse Joy slowly turned back to Chris, who was growling and huffing a bit. "Umm... Sir, with all due respect... I can date whoever I want... And after your umm..." She cleared her throat, trying to be as polite as possible, "Reaction to my rejection of your proposal... I'm afraid that I just don't think that I will ever date you." Chris just got angrier and screamed a bit, finally getting everyone's attention, "Fine! You're probably sleeping with some of the Pokémon here anyway! I wouldn't be surprised! A lot of you nurses do that, right!? I don't even know WHY I bothered with someone like you! You're just like every single floozy that I have ever met!" Nurse Joy was silent, finally having a serious expression and spoke in a lowly and kind of menacing tone, "Sir... If that's what you truly believe, then we are done here. I'm afraid that I'm gonna have to ask you to leave." Blissy glared at Chris a bit as everyone just showed a face of confusion and bewilderment. Pika Sonic, as well. Is this how Chris always reacts when rejected? "Poor father... Not even Nurse Joy will give him a chance..." Chris looked around, still having a face of frustration. Though it seemed as if he was gonna cry. He soon sighed and looked over at Pika Sonic, indicating that it was time to go. Pika Sonic got the message and nodded, getting up from the chair. Nurse Joy saw Pika Sonic and was about to say something, "Is that a-?"

Just then, the doors burst open and two Arboks walked in, growling and looking around. Behind them were two trainers, male and female, wearing all black with a black hat and a giant rainbow-like R on their chest. Everyone screamed and hid, including Chris. "Alright, everyone. Let's try to do this nice and easy. We want Pokémon, and we need them now." The male spoke, grinning. The female added onto the statement, "We'll make it easy for you. You give up all of your Pokémon, we'll let you all go. But if you don't..." One Arbok grinned and wrapped itself around Chris' body, squeezing him, "And well... Heh. I mean, look at him. I doubt someone like him will be missed." Pika Sonic saw in horror, "Father, no!" "P... Pika Sonic...!" Chris spoke hazily due to being constricted. Both criminals saw Pika Sonic. They stared until the male trainer spoke up, "Is that a Pokémon...?" "I have no idea... But something like that is worth something." She snapped her fingers and the other Arbok constricted Pika Sonic, making him yelp in pain. The female giggled, "How cute. The way you squirm is adorable. Don't worry, little guy. We won't hurt you. Just him." Just then, the Arbok that held Chris tightened it grip around him, making him scream in pain. "No! Let him go! Please!" Pika Sonic shrieked. The male grinned in response, "Make us, you little freak!" The female just focused on everyone else, "Alright! I am NOT going to repeat myself! Hand us your Pokémon... Or we kill this fatso here!" Pika Sonic's eyes suddenly widened and basically went white.  He froze up. "Kill... They're... They're going to... Kill father...?" All that ran through his mind was the word kill. The thought of anything happening to Chris horrified Pika Sonic. Just then... Pika Sonic balled his fists, and little sparks came out of his cheek pouches
