Chapter 30
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pikachu's POV
"Pikachu!" I hear my trainer yell with desperation in his voice. I know what he wants me to do, he is scared, scared of loosing Serena. But I'm not going to let that happen!
"Pika." I say, acknowledging my trainers concern before my ear begins to twitch as I hear the sound of an engine starting. If these red idiots think they can get away that easily then they are so mistaken!
I calm myself down, closing my eyes in an attempt to try and locate the vehicle by sensing its presents through the black smoke that was rendering my vision useless.
'Come on Pikachu, you can do this.' I say to myself in my mind. I stood completely still on all fours as if any sudden movement could break my concentration. Memories played in my mind of the gym battle against Ramos and the battle between his Gogoat and Ash's Frogadier. The memory played in my mind so clearly.
Gogoat's Razor Leaf surrounded Frogadier leaving him with no other option but to use Aerial Ace to defend itself from the swift movements of the green leaves that swirled around Frogadier's body.
Once Ash told Frogadier to ignore the attack and just focus on finding Gogoat I focused even closer on the playing memory to make sure that I can mimic Frogadier perfectly.
I let my heart beat become slower as I focus on only what I wanted to focus on and that was finding the location of the van that most likely had Serena.
'Come on Pikachu, if Greninja could do it as a Frogadier than you can do it too!' I tell myself before bowing my head downwards with my eyes firmly shut as I calmed my mind to focus on nothing but finding my target.
Suddenly my right ear twitches and almost upon instinct I dash off, using my Quick Attack to gain speed as I run as fast as my legs could carry my small body towards where I sensed the vehicle.
With my eyes still firmly shut as I sprinted and no idea what was in front of me I felt the air around me become less dense, but I didn't dare open my eyes in the fear of losing my target. But the urge to know what was around me got the better of me and caused me to open my eyes, but once I did I was immediately grateful I did.
I found myself sprinting, with the help of Quick Attack, down a road after the exact same van that I believed had taken Serena. On the road was also other cars, the black van was definitely in get away mode as it dodged and weaved itself through multiple cars that were travelling slower than it.
'I can't let them get away!' I tell myself before filling myself with determination as my pace quickened and the white streak of light that trailed behind me grew as my speed increased.
I swiftly dodged cars on the road, going around them and on some occasions under them to maintain eye contact with my target. Lucky for me the road wasn't too busy and there would be enough time for me to catch a glimpse of the van before it weaved itself in front of another car as it speeded ahead.
The case continued and I could feel myself tiring, my heart pumped like never before but adrenaline prevent the pain from hurting as much as it probably should be. My legs ached and I could feel my muscles weakening and each step became harder and harder. My pace began to become slower as I watched helplessly as the van speeded away from me, lengthening the distance between us ever second that went by.
My sprint had no turned into a weak and slow run which I noticed when I saw cars that I had overtaken in my long sprint pass me once again, I looked into the windows of the passing cars in the hopes that one will stop and help me but none did, all I saw was parents and even children looking at me as they passed. Some pointed at me as they passed, probably to point me out to the others in their vehicle.
I eventually stopped completely on the white lines that separated the road lanes to regain my breath as a wave of defeat rushed through my body while pain only put salt in the wound.
I raised my head and stared at the striate road ahead. I quickly noticed that this road was all striate and there is no turn offs for the van to take for a long time. This gave me a rush of hope upon realisation that I still have a chance to catch up.
I tired to reinitiate my run but my legs suddenly collapsed underneath me causing me to fall onto the asphalt road as my heart beat only quickened and the pain grew as adrenaline began to escape my body leaving me hurt and weak.
'I can't give up... it isn't over... it isn't over' I say, giving myself the strength to get back up at my trainer's words. I slowly initiated my slow run, slowly getting quicker and quicker before slowly turning into an actual run.
"Pikachu... no matter what happens I need you to promise me that you will protect Serena." I hear Ash's voice play over and over in my head while remembering when I promised him to protect her. This only filled with much needed determination as my pace quickened and the white trail of my Quick Attack returned as I active my move to help get me back into the race, a race that I refuse to loose.
"I can't give up! Not now... not EVER!" I yelled in pain but my speed only increase with ever passing second as I passed several cars that had overtaken me only moments ago. I could hear things like "Whoa!" And "Look at that Pikachu!" Being said from cars that had their windows down, their words only fuelled my spark that powered my body.
'Faster. Faster! FASTER!' I say to myself continuously. I obeyed my own words and increased my speed even more! Squinting my eyes and gritting my teeth to fight and push myself to even greater heights! By now I was moving faster than I had ever gone prior to this. I had never ran so fast in my life an I was only getting quicker as the pain subsided as all I could feel was raw determination and the air pressing against my face as I sprinted with everything that I had left in me.
By now the van had reappeared in sight, my target no long appeared to be in a get away mode and was cursing along at normal speed.
'Probably because they thought they had loosed me, but they forgot one thing. I don't give up until the very end!' I say in my mind while seizing the opportunity to play my favourite game. Ketchup... I mean catch up.
I gathered the rest of my remaining strength for one last push. I gritted my teeth harder, continuing my new found speed as I dashed towards to vehicle before finally getting close enough to my target before jumping as high as I can onto the top of the van.
Shock, amazement and accomplishment filled my body as I landed on the roof of the van. I puffed heavily to try and regain my breath but I wanted to make good use of the adrenaline that had returned and was the only thing stopping from passing out from exhaustion.
I quickly use Iron Tale on the sun roof and entre the back of the van. Once I entre I instantly hear gasps and a female mumble. Without even thinking I instantly let out a Thunderbolt attack while also letting out my battle cry as I shocked all my targets causing them to fall unconscious on the van floor.
I open my eyes and see everyone but a tied up Serena with a piece of duck tape across her mouth lying coconscious on the ground.
I pant heavily before rushing over to Serena and used Iron Tale to cut the ropes holding her arms to her body before than using my teeth to rip the piece of duck tape off her mouth as my arms were too weak from sprinting to have any actual strength left in them.
"OMA, PIKACHU!" Serena screams upon removing the tape and embraces me in a tight hug while I felt tears rush down my fur which obviously must be from Serena.
"H-how did you get here?" Serena eventually lets me go from the tight hug then asks.
"Because I'm fast as f*** boi!" I respond but judging my her facial expression she doesn't seem to understand what I said as all she probably heard was: "Pika chu!"
Before anything else could happen I feel adrenaline leaving my body, causing a wave of excruciating pain to take over my body as well as my head became light and my vision blurry. I hear my name being called by Serena as I close my eyes
'I... I did it. Don't worry Ash, I'll protect her for you.' I think before my vision goes completely black.

Serena's POV
Pikachu collapses right in front of me. I quickly pick him up and hold him in my arms. I quickly realise that he must have chased after the van by himself! I marvel at how strong and fast Pikachu has to be for him to pull off something like that.
I stare at the unconscious electric type while listening to him breath heavily. I gentility ran my hand through his yellow fur as my thoughts continued as to how it was even possible for him to chase a speeding vehicle for as long as he must have and still be able to catch up to it and take out all of the guards around me to save me.
'Wow, no wonder he passed out, he was worded himself to his absolute limit! Or even surpassed it.' I think, acknowledging that collapsing from exhaustion after what Pikachu had just done seemed like a normal response given the situation.
"Thank you Pikachu..." I mumble to him while holding his conscious body in my arms.

That was a fun chapter to write. Given that I know how Pikachu must feel as I do a lot of running myself. But none the less I hope you all enjoyed this Chapter as Pikachu stepped up and reached even greater heights!
