Chapter 1

Droplets of sweat slowly trickled down Brian's forehead and into his eyes as he sit slumped against a tree, scribbling something down in his notes. Annoyed and exhausted, he reached up and wiped the sweat away with the sleeve of his right arm. He sighed as he leaned against the tree to relax.

"Whew.... Boy is it hot out!" he said to himself, attempting to fan himself off with his notes on what he had seen in the woods so far.

Indeed, it WAS hot out. Approximately 103 degrees according to the weather channel he'd watched earlier. He slumped down against the tree and dropped his notes, sighing as he reached up, wiping yet another bead of sweat out of his eyes. He'd been randomly exploring the woods lately, just for fun, and now regretted not waiting until autumn, or at least until it cooled down a little, which would have been next week, according to the weather. But Brian was impatient, and being that, he just HAD to go out right away.

As Brian looked up into the leaves of the tree, he squinted up at the sun, sighing as he looked down at his notes, picturing himself swimming in the nearby lake, which sent chills down his spine.

Just then, the bush in front of him began rustling. He immediately sat upright and stared at the bush, alarmed.

"Alright, who's there?" he said in a serious, but yet joking and playful tone of voice. Like when you kind of expect someone to jump out and scare you, but they never do, you say, "Okay, stop." in that same tone of voice, only to realize they're not even there.

To his surprise, a Pikachu poked its head out of the bush, and stared straight at him. Brian smiled at it, and held out his hand.

"Here little guy, come here." he gently called to him.

The Pikachu reluctantly stepped forward, out of the bush. It stood up on its hind legs, and just stared at Brian. Brian caught a glimpse of its tail, and realized that, from the shape of the tail, that this Pikachu was male. Brian continued to hold out his hand, wiggling his fingers to attract the Pikachu's attention. Slowly, he inched toward Brian, his ears perked up, keeping alert for any sudden movements Brian should make. When he was within reach, Brian slowly reached out further and gently stroked the Pikachu's head, right between his ears.

As he did this, the Pikachu dropped down onto all fours and flatted his ears back, allowing Brian to pet him more efficiently. As Brian continued to pet him, the Pikachu walked right up and climbed into Brian's lap, purring and nuzzling his arm, not wanting him to stop. Smiling down at him, he gave a gentle scratch to the Pikachu's ears, chuckling as it pawed at his hands.

"Theeeere ya go little guy," he said softly, stroking his back gently now.

The Pikachu's ears perked up at this.

"Pii.... ka?" it said, looking at the bush.

Brian just smiled at him and hugged him gently. "I've always wanted to touch a Pikachu..." He said as he stroked its head, smiling down at it. "But... Things have always gotten in the way, or something was going on, and I never got the chance to actually see what one feels like..."

As the Pikachu heard the words "Something going on," it froze, all of a sudden calling out toward the bush, as if remembering something important. Brian frowned as he did this, but soon began to smile again.

"I think it's a lot cooler here in the shade than out in the sun." he randomly threw out, attempting to change the subject of the conversation that he couldn't understand anyway.

The Pikachu just stared up at him like he was some kind of weirdo, then slowly nodded.

Just then, he heard the bush rustle again, as another Pikachu poked its head out. This Pikachu however, saw the other Pikachu and immediately walked up to Brian.

"Well, hello there." Brian smiled as he reached out and stroked the new Pikachu's head. The Pikachu flinched as Brian's hand came down, but she soon sat up and smiled, as she realized Brian was just petting her. Brian could see the dent in the end of her tail, signifying that she was female.

"So... you two friends?" Brian asked.

Almost immediately, they both simultaneously nodded.

"Oh, well.... that's nice I guess... I have no friends.... You two are lucky." he frowned. "I really wish I could be a Pikachu like you two, so I can make friends." he said with another frown. "I bet if I was a Pikachu, I'd be the nicest, most helpful, and the strongest in my colony!" he said with a laugh. "But, that's just my imagination, That can't actually happen. Too bad too." He sighed, wiping the sweat from his forehead as he rest back against the tree.

The Pikachu both looked at eachother, and the male Pikachu said something, then the female nodded. Before Brian knew what was happening, both the Pikachu had struck him with a small electric shock, both at the same time.

"Ow.... Wh-what was that for?" He mumbled as dizziness overcame him, the feeling of numbness crawling up his back, taking over his body until he was unable to move a muscle. He wanted to ask them why they'd struck him, but he was immobile, paralyzed by the bolts. The last thing he saw was the two Pikachu each taking hold on one of his feet, then he fell unconscious.
