A sudden blast of fire and ice swept over Pikachu and he woke up with a sharp jerk. The first thing that he noticed was his owner and two other humans had vanished. No pokemon, no humans, no trees, no nothing. All that remained was a small piece of his owners prized cap.
Pikachu picked it up and sniffed it... nothing, no scent at all! We'll that's strange, thought Pikachu. Ash always wears his cap. Then a sudden panic broke through Pikachu and rushed through his blood all the way to the tip of his tail. A piercing shreek shattered Pikachu's thought. Pikachu turned to find a large rodent like beast breathing down his neck and snarling as if it's worst enemy were staring him in the eye.
Only one thing caused Pikachu not to move and that was true freezing fear. The creature foamed at the mouth and came closer and closer to Pikachu. All the power in Pikachu had drained out. He forced himself to back away, but every step back Pikachu went the closer the feirce beast came. The whole earth could'nt support the monster and it trembled under it's feet.
Then at last the ground gave way and tha beast along with Pikachu fell into a large gap in the earth. Pikachu felt himself falling. He landed with a good hard "thud!"
Pikachu laid there for a moment taking in the sound of falling boulders. At last he opend his eye's to find that the creature had been crushed flat by the rocks. The breath Pikachu took in was one of relief and he let his face fall to the ground. Pikachu then came to himself and noticed that the hole could'nt possibly have been dug by niether human, pokemon, or mechine... only by the force of nature.
Just then Pikachu's ears picked up the sound of low breathing. Pikachu bristeled up and laid his ears back. The shape of a small bird stood up on the land looking down into the hole. Then something happend that would change Pikachu's life.
"Hey! Do you want me ta get ya out? Are ya stuck? Need help? I'll get ya out!" The little Pidgy had spoke! It was'nt to big a surprise because Pikachu knew Meowth could talk. Still, not other pokemon!
Pikachu nodded. Pidgey: "Alright I'll help you! Stay here."
It was'nt a minute and the little Pidgey was back with a long vine. He lowered the vine into the hole and Pikachu tied it around his waist. Soon Pikachu found his feet being lifted off the ground. The first face Pikachu saw was that of a little Grass and Poison type friend.
Pikachu: "Pika pika! Pikachu!" It was Bulbasaur!
"Pikachu? Oh, it's you! I thought you were gone for good! I'm so glad to see you again!"
Pikachu noticed that Bulbasaur could also speak English, but all he cared about now was seeing a friendly and familiar face.
Pidgey: "Okay you two, partys over. We need to get back to the sanctuary before another one of those things come."
Pikachu followed Bulbasaur and the Pidgey all the way up a large cliff. When they reached the top Pikachu eye's widend and stared. In a large area bigger than the hole and the cliff together was a cave. It looked like a cave. It was all covered with lush green vines that sparkeled with dew.
The evening sun made the dew shine red and yellow. Pikachu turned to Bulbasaur. Bulbasaur: "Pikachu... this is the Ark of Vines."
