For the next days, Pikachu's pain diminished and dissapeared, allowing him to feel better. During the week, he also noticed that last weekend he wasn't as nervous around Raichu than before, and slowly started to loosen up a bit.

Vixie, Espeon, and the others also witnessed Eevee's improvement as well. In a short time, he started to socialize with more and more cubs, and would soon start the battling lessons, which made him ever happier.

Pikachu knew that tomorrow, Raichu would come to visit again, and hopefully, it would also be more pleasant than the first time. He also thought that it would be good to take the cubs somewhere again, as it was good for them in various ways. As he selected the cubs that went on trip, he could control in someway who did each cub befriended, so it was easier for them to have fun and to meet new friends, but it was also beneficial for them to walk around the city, so they knew better the location where they lived, and also learnt how to manage different situation by themselves. But for him, the most important condition was that he wanted to have a stress-free day, so everyone could forget, even if it was for only a few hours, the hard reality that the destiny had brought them to.

As he saw all the happy cubs, he thought that today was a good day for everyone. He was soon brought back to Earth when he felt an orange peel fall on his head.

"If you're gonna do the statue, you'll have to do it in another place!" shouted a voice, that obviously was Sceptile.

"What the hell?" he said, looking up.

"Well, it's my late birthday gift for you. They are leftovers, a good item to battle!" Sceptile shouted.

"You're kidding me! " he shouted back. "As much as I liked it to be a joke it's true, why? I don't know. Ask Arceus"

"Fine, if you insist! I will talk to Arceus about it tomorrow" Pikachu responded in a sarcastic tone. "Well, your Majesty, now, if you're done tormenting your loyal subjects, I would like to resume my thinking. thank you."

The Sceptile saw the Pikachu's irritation in his eyes, and decided not to mess with him anymore. "My loyal subject, I'm going to try luck in the ladies' place today. You are free to go". He said as he turned around.

Pikachu just stared at the Sceptile's back, before standing up and walked away. He then rememebred that the cubs haven't visited the mountain district! The day before, he read a newspaper worshipping the great snows that had took place last week, and the pretty sights all over the place. So he decided to go there tomorrow.

As it was still a bit soon, he went berrypicking to the nearby places. What's better than the freash flavour of just-picked berries? While he was walking, he saw a huge crowd around a poster on a wall. As it caught the small pokémon's attention, he headed off to the multitude, wondering to know what was the source of all the fuss. He noticed that the poster contained a bunch of names which he didn't remember at all. "Hey guys! Look! I can't believe it! A team of six legendaries!" "And it's a 6 vs 1!" "When did that happen? How could they get such a team in so short amount of time?" These questions were all that he could hear from the people around him. Suddenly, his ear twitched as he noticed that the commotion was also caused by such contestant. "I can't believe Ginger Sparklight agreed to do this" "Isn't it too hardcore even to be in the finals?" "I can't wait for these remaining two weeks!" he heard people say.

"Are you serious? One pokemon against a team of six legendaries?" thought Pikachu. He didn't know who would be that "Ginger", but the only thought of a battle send shivers down his spine. "In my opinion, this is the most stupid decision ever conceived. I hope I will not see this battle at all!" he said to himself. But he couldn't tell if he was acting like this from his irrational fear for battling, or because of envy of the apparent Ginger's extremely powerful attacks. Because it's the only explanation to why would anyone battle a team of legendaries, isn't it?

Hedecided to shrug it off, and continue with his berrypicking routine. As soon as he got to the outskirts, he started to happily wander through the berry trees fields, as he was looking for the best berries there were. While he was walking, he noticed a familiar shape.

"What the!? Another one!? And it's my own!" he shouted as he came closer to an specific tree. "A pecha berry! It's my lucky day!" he exclaimed happily as he collected it. After a while, he had filled his little basket to the brim "That's the last one!" As he was preparing to go back home, he suddenly heard a noise in a nearby tree. As he got nearer, he could discern it was a watering noise. Before he could react, he was drenched by a water jet pointed at his face. "What the? Who the heck is this guy!? What do you want?" he screamed as he saw an Oshawott laughing his ass off. "Hahahaha! It was funny! Look at his face!!" "Oh god, this is the silliest thing I've ever seen!" he said as he looked at the Oshawott. He just shrugged it off and laughed at it was clear that the little guy was just joking. As he went back home, it was already lunch time. "What a nice relaxing day! I'm starving!" As he came closer to the dinning room, he could see his fellows waiting in the usual team table. He sat down on his spot after ordering launch. "Hi guys!" He said with a smile. "I hope you're hungry because a good lunch is how you better recharge energies!". As he said so, Kanghaskan smiled as she gave pikachu his combined cereals plate. Once he was finished, he felt a strong wave of tiredness even though he had just had lunch, but he couldn't help but go back to his room, and soon fell asleep.

Pikachu felt confused as he woke up already walking, but as soon as he turned his head, his doubts were solved. He was still in the same spot he had left before, just outside of the local train station.

He looked around in front of him. He had no idea where his trainer was, and he started to worry. "How am I supposed to take the train if I don't know where my trainer is?!" he asked himself. While trying to think about a solution to his problem, he suddenly heard a loud whistle.

He jumped at the noise and looked up, where he saw his trainer calling for him. "Come on Pikachu! Let's get our battles started!" he said as he waved at him. He couldn't wait any longer, and happily followed his dear trainer.

As they left the station, they walked around the city. It's a large town, and a tourist hotspot. As they walked around, they passed by a lot of impressive places. Apart from battling, that was their main focus on their travels, and they had a lot of fun exploring different places.

However, after walking around for some time, they were too tired to continue walking. Pikachu knew that if he travelled in his pokeball, he wouldn't have to deal with so much walking, but he preferred to share the once in a lifetime experience of a pokémon journey with his favourite human. Soon, they had found a modest inn. Pikachu looked in amazement as he saw an elegant looking hall. "Wow... this is amazing!" he said excitedly. His trainer just smiled at him, and then looked at the doors.

"I see that they're open. Let's go in, I'll pay for it!" he said as he grabbed the doors and opened them. Once inside, he paid for one night and let Pikachu on to the bed as he started to think what to do tomorrow. "Hey, what should we do tomorrow?" "We can go shopping!" he said with a bright smile. "Ooh, I like shopping!" "Maybe we'll even go to the city's spa! I've never been there before. Let's try there! But tomorrow, We'll go battling, of course!" he said with a satisfied expression.

Pikachu was so happy to be spending the time he alwasys had desired with his trainer. He felt so fulfilled that he just didn't care about the slight adversities that could arise. He just loved him so much, that he would do anything that he desired. The next morning, as the sun came up, they got ready to spend the day in the city. First, they started to walk to the shopping centre where they could buy some supplies not available on the other cities Pokemarts. While walking, they had a few laughs and enjoyed the beautiful day. They passed by different shops and buildings that looked like a patchwork from the vibrant colours of the advertsing posters. After finishing thir initial stroll, they decided to go battling first, as it was better to have the deed done.

They headed to the nearest pokémon battling arena, where they fought their first battle in the town. The visitants took turns to battle another local traners, and after a few minutes, it was their turn to battle.

"Pikachu, are you ready?" the trainer said, as he patted his cheek, "I'm ready for some battle fun." The trainer called him trying to act brave, but he knew this battle would be a hard one. The first pokemon the other trainer sent out was a strong Fennekin, as if to match his trainer.

"Pikachu! Use tackle on the Fennekin! He seems pretty strong!" the trainer ordered, eager to start his battle.

Pikachu nodded, and ran towards the opponent, as he put all his energy into a ball and unleashed it, hitting Fennekin's face. The Fennekin showed no signs of feeling pain, and grinned evilly at his opponent, who was surprised by his strategy. However, Pikachu had a plan in mind and proceeded to launch a thunderbolt at Fennekin, with the determination to hit the powerful opponent. He felt rewareded by his force of the attack, as the Fennekin was knocked back by the impact. The opponent felt that after this attack was very weak and tried to retreat, but then suddenly he felt his body being hit by a bone-shattering body slam, by the yellow mouse.

Fennekin was knocked to the floor by the hit, and was unable to battle.

"We did it!!" Pikachu panted as he was finished. The trainer was surprised, because he had won this battle, but he had a second pokémon in his deck, so he sent out that pokemon to finish that battle.

As the second pokémon was revealed, everything seemed to start fading, as a birning hatred sensation started to burn his heart from beneath it's core. He let out an ear-splitting cry as everything went black.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH! Pikachu screamed as he woke up from his dream. He was sweating profusely again, as his body stood petrified in his nest. As soon as he regained mobility, he quickly jumped out of his blankets, and ran out of his room, as he felt fear and a dread from the place in which he was dreaming, but his fear quickly stopped when he crashed with Pidgeot.

"OW!" she yelped as Pikachu was sprawled on the floor.. Pidgeot looked down at him in anger, as if he had done something to her. The little yellow rodent heard Pidgeot's bird-like voice, and he began to get alarmed.

"Pikachu! Why are you so scared?" Pidgeot asked in an slightly annoyed tone. "Are you not used to the dark yet?".

"Oh... I'm sorry Pidgeot. I guess I just... just haven't gotten used to it." Pikachu said. The little mouse hoped to talk to his partner trying to sound confident. But with his voice trembling, he could barely form words.

"It's ok Pikachu. If you have a problem with me, you can tell me, but don't worry, I'll leave you alone for now. If you feel better later, we can play together, OK?" she said as she giggled to get a reaction out of him.

"I'm sorry, I'm just not used to these scares..." Pikachu answered. As Pidgeot left, he headed off to have breakfast.

Half an hour later, he was having breakfast alone, as he tried to forget the dream. He tried to focus on the fact that he was actually safe now, and nothing could harm him anymore. He would try to make his dream go away.

While eating his cereal, he noticed Eevee running towards him in utter excitement. "Hey Eevee! How's going!"

Eevee shouted in delight. "Today is Saturday!" as he started to do a barrel roll. He stopped after a while, as he looked at Pikachu. "Raichu is coming, right?"

Pikachu quickly froze up in place. "yes..." he muttered

Eevee cried in glee, and quickly did a one-eighty, before hitting the ground. "Where are we going today?" asked the cub.

Pikachu made his way back to the room, Eevee following behind. Pikachu sighed at the persistance of the Eevee. "We'll go to the mountain!" he yelled in excitement.

"Weeeeeeee!" Eevee screamed in joy as he ran outside. The little yellow mouse laughed in reply. Some minutes after he started to relax in his room, he heard a knock at the door. But he couldn't have guessed whowas at the other side. As he opened the door, he came face to face with Raichu.

"Hello, Pikachu!" she said cheerfully. "I came a bit earlier to see how things were going. I also heard that you were scared of the dark. But do not worry, I am here, so it won't happen anything to you. Let's go Pikachu!"

Pikachu sighed, as he discovered that Pidgeot couldn't keep her beak shut, even though she didn't really knew what had actually happened.

And so, the three of them went out to spend a more familiar Saturday evening to the mountain.
