"'Welcome to Ichiseikatsu, the city of true happiness and life. When you come here, you can expect to have the time of your life'. Sounds like a bit of a stretch."

"It ain't no stretch, Ichiseikatsu is one of the best places to live."

"Interesting, I may take a vacation here then, mouse."

"I have a name you know, bird."

The mouse's name is Pikachu, he is well known around the area and popular among many. The bird he was on was a Pidgeot, it was traveling at a fast speed, they are well known for that. The Pidgeot flew over a big city, he looked over to the Pikachu on his back.

"Well, we're here. Where do you want me to land?" The Pidgeot asked.

"Don't worry about it," The Pikachu replied. He opened his satchel and took out some money, he put the money in a bank box the Pidgeot was holding on its side. Once he did, he stood up on Pidgeot's back and looked down.

"Hey, Pikachu!"

Pikachu turned his head, to his left was a grey butterfly with a yellow, red, and blue pattern on its wing, big blue eyes, and a long nose flying next to them.

"Beautifly!" Pikachu happily called out. Beautifly flew over and gave him a big hug.

Beautifly is one of Pikachu's first-ever friends. She was like his partner in crime, always ready to help him whenever he needed it. Beautifly had an unusual gift, she was strong. Like, really strong. She's able to lift a boulder thirty times her size with ease. Her strength even scared some of the bigger Pokemon around, but deep inside, she's still the cute butterfly that most know.

"You're back! It's been so long! I missed you so much," Beautifly cried out.

"I missed you too, Beautifly," Pikachu said. "Hey, I need to go to the flower shop you work at. Care to lead me there?"

"I'd be happy to," Beautifly got behind Pikachu and got a good grip on him. "Ready?"

"Ready. Let's go!" Pikachu jumped off of Pidgeot's back. The two began free-falling down towards the city. They got closer to the buildings. Beautifly began flapping her wings quickly and leveled both of them so they weren't divebombing in the sky.

"I'll never get over how strong you are," Pikachu told her.

"You'll be surprised how much I can lift now," Beautifly said. "Now hang on, it's gonna be a rough landing."

Beautifly guided them towards a small shop. She let go of Pikachu, who did a few flips and landed on his feet in front of the shops. Beautifly let herself fall and Pikachu caught her before she hit the ground. They went into the shop and were greeted by a Bellossom.

"Oh Pikachu, nice to see you back again," Bellossom said cheerfully.

"Nice to see you too ma'am. I have your flower queen here," Pikachu said to her. Beautifly flew out of his arms and next to Bellossom.

"Yeah, a flower queen who's nearly late," Bellossom said, giving Beautifly a stern glare.

"Sorry, ma'am. But I wanted to see Pikachu again after so long," Beautifly explained.

Bellossom smiled, "Don't worry about it, just don't be late next time," Bellossom looked back at Pikachu. "It has been a while since I've seen you. Five months hasn't it?"

"Yeah. Going around the world on your own isn't easy," Pikachu chuckled. "Oh yeah, I need three roses."

Bellossom quickly grabbed and wrapped the roses and gave them to Pikachu. "Seeing someone special today?" Bellossom asked.

"Yeah, I'm going to Sylvie's and Glacie's daycare, I promised to see them as soon as I got back," Pikachu told her. He paid for the roses, put them in his satchel. "Oh, Beautifly. I got you this," Pikachu pulled out a back of beautiful blue flowers. When Beautifly saw them she squealed in delight.

"Is that a Hydrangea flower?!" She exclaimed happily.

Pikachu nodded, "Sure is. They were hard to find but-" Pikachu was cut off when Beautifly gave him a bone-crushing hug.

"Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" Beautifly said happily.

"Y-your welcome... but... can't... breathe," Pikachu gasped. Beautifly let him go and Pikachu was able to breathe again.

"Sorry, got carried away. Hey, are you going to visit Sylveon and Glaceon today?" Beautifly asked.

Pikachu nodded, "Yep. I know it gets crazy at the daycare during this time of year. Especially with summer break coming soon."

"Well, you better hurry. They miss you a lot," Beautifly said. "Also, I may come over if it gets too out of hand there."

"Alright, I'll see you later then, Beautifly," Pikachu and Beautifly gave each other one last hug and Pikachu left. As Pikachu walked along the street, he was nearly hit by a soccer ball. He picked up the ball and looked around, the city park was nearby, it had many types of sports fields inside. He looked towards the soccer field and saw one of his friends, a white and red bunny.

"Dummkopf! You kicked it out again!" The bunny said in a female german accent. She went to the direction to where the ball went, only to be surprised to see Pikachu holding her ball.

"Looking for this?" Pikachu asked. The bunny smiled happily, she ran up to her friend, picked him up, and gave him a big hug.

"Pikachu! You're back!" The bunny said cheerfully.

"Nice to see you too, Cinderace. But please, let go... can't breathe," Pikachu choked. Cinderace quickly let go, causing Pikachu to land on the ground and gasp or air. "Geez. I just came back and you and Beautifly are already trying to kill me."

Cinderace rubbed the back of her head sheepishly, "Sorry about that. I got excited."

Cinderace is a big football fan. Soccer football, not the other one. She is a very talented football player, she got her high school football team their first-ever championship and was named MVP in the state. Her first language was German, as she and her entire family are German. She struggled to speak English when she was younger, but after meeting Pikachu, he was able to help her speak English perfectly, but she still kept her German accent and heritage.

"Here, I got you something." Pikachu opened his bag and pulled out a framed picture. Cinderace looked at the picture and nearly fainted.

"Oh Mein Gott! You got Franz Beckenbauer autograph!" Cinderace said excitedly.

"Yep. Also, I may have also told him about you as well. He says he's very impressed by your skills," Pikachu told her. Cinderace felt lightheaded. She closed her eyes, fell to the ground, and fainted.

"Uhh, Cinderace?" Pikachu poked her arm. She didn't react. So Pikachu made a spark on his finger and zapped her, making Cinderace jolt up.

Cinderace looked at him embarrassed, "Thank you Pikachu! I can't believe it, how did you-"

"I got a break for a day and went to a football game in Germany. I knew you were a fan of this guy so I met with him and boom, autograph," Pikachu told her. "Sorry if I'm cutting this short, but Sylvie and Glacie probably need my help right now."

"The daycare! I was supposed to go there today! Come on, let's go there together," Cinderace said. She packed up her things in her duffel bag, said bye to her friends and together with Pikachu, began walking to the daycare.

"Hey! Get back here thief!" Pikachu and Cinderace turned to see their friend Grovyle chasing someone. The person was a green blur and it was hard to make out who it was.

"Look! Someone stole bread from Grovyle," Cinderace said.

"So much for making dough. Let's chase em' down, give me a kick," Pikachu told her and rolled up into a ball. Cinderace nodded, she kicked him up, jumped up, and spin kicked him in the air towards the green blur.

Pikachu rocketed towards the green blur, he landed on the ground and was running right next to the blur. The blur was quicker than it looked, they were quick to navigate it'sway around the city. Pikachu was able to keep a close tail on it, all of a sudden it jumped up and scaled the building. Pikachu was surprised for a bit but then started to follow it.

'They have some skill I'll give em' that,' Pikachu thought. He continued the case. They jumped from building to building all across the city. They started to enter the dangerous part of the city. Pikachu knew if they got there it would be hard to catch it. Thinking fast, he threw his Electro Web at it. It almost missed but was able to grab its hind leg. The blur screamed in pain, it tripped from its hurt leg and fell off the building it was on. Pikachu quickly ran up to it, grabbed the blur, and landed safely on the ground. The person tried to get away, but Pikachu held onto them.

"You're not getting away for stealing food," Pikachu said.

"P-please, I'll do anything, just let me go," The person cried. Pikachu could now tell it was a girl. The girl managed to push herself off him and tried to run, but her hurt leg stopped her. Pikachu slowly walked to her, the girl thought this was it for her. She closed her eyes and lifted her tail. "J-just make it quick, I won't feel anything."

"Woah Woah Woah, I'm not all about that," Pikachu said and looked away. The girl looked at him confused.

"W-what are you doing?" She asked.

"Looking away, I don't ever look at a girl naked unless given permission," Pikachu told her while looking at a brick wall. The girl thought about running away but was curious about the person who caught her. She lowered her tail and turned to him.

"You can look now," She said. Pikachu peeked behind him, sighing in relief when he saw her normal.

"Thank god, I did not want to have another situation like that again," Pikachu sighed.

The girl looked at him strangely, "You're different, most guys would try to take advantage of me. Why didn't you? And why are you on fire?"

"Fire?" Pikachu sniffed. He smelled something burnt. He turned around and saw the tip of his tail on fire. Pikachu panicked and ran around, trying to put the fire out. The girl laughed, watching him try to put the fire out. Pikachu was able to do so, but his tail now had a burn mark on it.

"Note to self, never be the ball in Cinderace's Pyro Ball," He said to himself.

"So, what are you gonna do with me?" The girl asked. Pikachu looked at her puzzled.

"What do you mean?"

"You caught me, what are you gonna do? Beat me? Sell me off? Touch me all around? Force me to be your girlfriend? I'm used to all of them so it doesn't matter what you do," The girl explained. Pikachu couldn't believe what he was hearing.

'All this stuff happened to her? That poor girl, she deserves better than that," Pikachu thought. "Nothing."

The girl blinked at him, not knowing to believe him or not, "Nothing? A-are you sure?"

"I'm sure," Pikachu replied. The girl stayed quiet, she then threw the bread she stole to Pikachu. The bread was still wrapped and undamaged.

"Take it, I don't need it," She said and started limping away, to the dangerous part of the city.

"Wait," Pikachu said. The girl turned around to Pikachu, "Do you even want to go there? That place is dangerous."

"It's the only place for people like me to go, we have no right to go over there," The girl said.

"But, you're injured. You can't go there hurt," Pikachu said. He went up to the girl and pulled out a bandage from his satchel and started to bandage her leg. The girl was shocked at what he was doing.

"W-why are you doing this? I stole food and you're helping me," She wondered.

"Because no one should suffer, and it's my fault you're hurt," Pikachu told her. He finished bandaging her leg. "There, you should be able to walk now," The girl tried to walk, she was able to but tripped again, but Pikachu caught her before she hit the ground. She blushed when he did.

"T-thanks."

Pikachu saw the condition Leafeon was in, she looked like she was close to starving. She had bruised and scratches all around her as well, "Are you ok? How did you end up like this?"

"I get into a lot of fights, it's the only thing to do to survive."

"Well there are better ways, you know that right?"

"Not when you're homeless."

There was silence between them.

"So, what's your name?" Pikachu asked.

The girl was nervous before replying, "L-Leafeon."

Pikachu looked at her again, she had the shape of a Leafeon, but she didn't have the color of a Leafeon. He took out a bottle of water from his bag.

"Can I clean off your face? I'd like to see you better."

Leafeon blushed at that, "I... uhh... ahh..."

Pikachu chuckled. "I get that you're nervous, you can say no if you want to."

"No... I...," She paused. "I'd rather wash it off myself."

Pikachu nodded, he gave her the bottle of water to Leafeon. She took the bottle and poured the water on her face and washed off all the dirt. Pikachu now had a better view of her face. He had to admit, Leafeon looked very pretty, and that was saying a lot, he rarely found any girl pretty. The only other two he found pretty were his friends Sylveon and Glaceon. Pikachu stared at her, making Leafeon a bit uncomfortable.

"Uhh, what are you staring at?" She asked. Pikachu realized what he was doing and shook his head to clear his mind.

"Sorry. It's just you're really pretty. Not to sound weird or anything," Pikachu said sheepishly.

'He thinks I'm pretty?' Leafeon thought curiously. She felt her face heating up, 'Why am I feeling like this? He only called me pretty, other guys tell me this all the time, why am I like this only to him?'

"How long have you been here? On the streets I mean," Pikachu asked.

Leafeon thought for a moment, "A long time. Ever since my parents were thrown in jail when I was young."

"How old were you back then?"

"I think I was six months old. I'm nineteen now," Leafeon answered.

"Nineteen years," Pikachu muttered. "And you don't have any other family?"

"I do. But none of them wanted me. I stayed at an orphanage for a bit, but I ran away from there. That place is terrible, they tortured a poor girl there and she was never the same," Leafeon told him.

Pikachu was in deep thought, 'I know she stole food and all, but she did it to survive. I feel bad for hurting her. If only there was something I could do to help her,' Suddenly, Pikachu got a bright idea. He looked around the alley they were in, he saw an old bag that looked like his, just what he needed. He picked up the bag and dusted it off. He saw that the bag was empty, so he started putting in food from his bag as well as other things. He turned back to Leafeon and put the bag around her neck

"What are you-" Pikachu put a finger up, making her stop talking. He pulled out his phone and called a number.

'Oh no, please don't be the cops,' Leafeon thought in worry. A few seconds later, the person Pikachu was calling picked up.

"Hey, Cinderace."

'Hey Pikachu, did you get the person?'

"Kinda. Look, you go on ahead to the daycare, I'll meet you there."

'How come?'

"I'll explain later. I'll be there soon after you," With that, Pikachu hung up. He turned his attention back to Leafeon. "I have an offer to make."

Leafeon turned her head confused, "What offer?"

"I don't like to see people suffer, and from the looks of things and what you told me, you suffered a lot. This city normally has a low homeless rate, but it seems that you are one of the few. So I'm making an offer to you. You were never given a chance to live a full life, I want to give you that change. So, would you like to live with me?"

Leafeon couldn't believe her ears. Someone she just met who caught her stealing just offered her a home. It all didn't seem real to her. But one thing came to her mind, what if it was a trick? What if he's trying to take advantage of her? From what she can tell, Pikachu is one of the nicest people she's ever met, but being homeless taught her one thing, you don't judge a book by its cover.

"How do I know you're telling the truth?" Leafeon asked.

"Good question," Pikachu replied. "How about this," He pulled out a sharp blade with a green wrapped handle. Leafeon's eyes widened when she saw it.

'My dagger!' She thought.

"I saw you dropped this earlier. Let's do this. If I ever hurt you in any way, even if it's a soft flick, you can use this to kill me and take everything I own, deal?" He said. Leafeon was silent, he was willing to die if he hurt her.

"I... I don't know what to say," She said bewildered.

"You don't need to, here," Pikachu gave Leafeon her dagger and she put it in her new bag. "You know where the Black Pearl is?"

Leafeon nodded, "The big five-star restaurant, right?"

"Yep. Meet me there at eight. My treat," He said and held one of his roses at her. Leafeon blushed and took the rose, careful of its thorns.

"T-thank you,"  She stuttered.

"No problem, I'll see you then. I promise to meet you there when I'm done at the daycare," Pikachu started to walk away, but Leafeon stopped him.

"Hang on," Leafeon got up close to him. "I don't willingly get to do this a lot, but..." Leafeon softly planted her lips on Pikachu's. Pikachu was surprised by her action. He did not expect her to kiss him. The kiss lasted a good thirty seconds before Leafeon pulled away, embarrassed but had no regrets at what she did.

"Thank you," She whispered to him. "Also, I'm not gonna kill you, ever."

Pikachu felt his body heating up, "I... I'll see you at eight." Pikachu said nervously and walked out of the alley. When he was out sight, Leafeon couldn't help but be a blushing mess.

'He's so cute, maybe he's the reason I feel like this,' Leafeon thought. She looked at the rose in her paws and took a sniff. It smelled fresh like it just bloomed today. 'I heard a rose is a sign of love, maybe there's a chance he-'

"Aww, look who we have here."

Leafeon turned around and shuddered. There behind her was a Keldeo. He was in a bad condition, he was covered in scratches and bruises all around. His horn was sharp and deadly, it had bloodstains on it. Leafeon thought she could see fresh blood on his horn as well.

Leafeon glared daggers at the Keldeo. "You!" She growled.

"How sweet, you remember me," Keldeo laughed. "How are you doing sweetheart?"

"I'm not your 'sweetheart'. You forced me to date you!" Leafeon growled.

"How rude, and here I thought we could get back together," Keldeo told her.

"If that's all you were here for then fuck off, " Leafeon said and began to leave.

"Off to your new date then huh?"

Leafeon turned around to him surprised. "What?"

"That boy you were talking to, you know he's well known around the world. You could almost call him a celebrity," Keldeo said to her. He threw some newspapers at Leafeon. Leafeon looked down and read the headlines.

"'Boy discovers new island at age fifteen' 'Kid finds new land and new plant life' 'Eighteen-year-old sets out to travel the world without transportation'" Leafeon read aloud.

"That was five months ago, he's nineteen now, and he just came back today. Looks like you got yourself a good one," Keldeo smirked.

"What do you want, Keldeo? I know you didn't come just to chat," Leafeon said.

"Simple, since you're going on a date with a very wealthy person, I want you to lure him to me and we'll both kill him! Then we'll take all his money and all of our problems will be solved," Keldeo told her.

"Not happening, you can't force me to do your dirty work," Leafeon said. She started to run, but Keldeo tackled her down and pinned her head to the ground.

"Listen here, bitch! If you want to keep whatever dignity you have left, then I suggest you listen!" Keldeo threatened.

"No! I won't!" Leafeon said. Keldeo raised his hoof and punched Leafeon in the face. Leafeon screamed in pain, a large bruise began to form on her face.

"Say that again, I dare you!" Keldeo yelled. Leafeon stayed quiet. "Good. Back alley by the Black Pearl, don't be late," Keldeo forced Leafeon into a kiss, dropped her, and walked away.

Leafeon waited until Keldeo was gone and picked herself up. She rubbed the bruise on her face, Keldeo had hit her before, but this felt different. She knew how serious Keldeo is whenever he wants something, and what he wants is Pikachu's money. Leafeon knew she had to do whatever she can to keep Keldeo away from him. But the one question was how? Keldeo is way stronger than her, she had seen Keldeo kill so many people before, and wondered if she even had a chance to keep Pikachu safe from him.

...

On a quiet part of the city stood two daycares. One belonged to two girls, Pikachu's friends Sylveon and Glaceon. They both were Pikachu's best friends and they had undoubtedly developed a crush on their friend.

Sylveon had a few nicknames around the city. The cute one, cupcake, party girl, and Pinkamena. Each of these nicknames described her as a person. She was the cutest girl in the whole town, she loves to make and eat cupcakes, and she throws lots of parties. She's also known to do the impossible, defying physics and common sense in general. She also is known for having the most obvious crush on Pikachu as she is always affectionate towards him, even making her own cards called 'Sylvie smooches' and Pikachu was the only one who could use and get them. Her silliness and happy attitude make her a great person to hang out with as she always puts a smile on everyone's faces.

Just like Sylveon, Glaceon also had a few nicknames. The beautiful one, snowflake, and hard head. Glaceon is thought of to be the most beautiful girl in the city, she can make snowflakes with her breath, and she doesn't back down from anything. Because of Sylveon's cuteness and her beauty, many males were attracted to them, many wanting to use them for their own pleasure. Sylveon is too nice to hurt anyone, so Glaceon is always there to protect them from anything and anyone. Her crush on Pikachu isn't as obvious as Sylveon's, but it's just as strong as Sylveon's.

The two always wanted to form a daycare since their high school days. Once they got the funding they needed the build their daycare. Their daycare was always the number one recommendation for parents to leave their kids at and became very popular since.

While they had the best daycare, the other one wasn't as great. The building was in good condition, but the service from who worked there was horrid. The owner was a Buneary, she was known for being aggressive for no reason. Not many liked her. The only kids she got were parents who couldn't afford Sylveon and Glaceon's daycare. Buneary never liked Sylveon and Glaceon, the two were the popular ones in school and the most successful, and it made Buneary's blood boil whenever they got more attention than her.

Sylveon and Glaceon never liked Buneary much, they hated to tell parents who couldn't afford their daycare to leave them at Buneary's, but they knew that she wouldn't hurt or starve the kids. But they rarely got to ever play outside, Buneary wouldn't let them. Instead, every time was 'silent time' for them.

Currently, at Sylveon and Glaceon's daycare, it was almost playtime, and the kids were excited. Sylveon burst through the front doors, her fur was a mess and she looked tired.

"Kids! It's playtime!" Sylveon yelled in an excited tone. All the kids came rushing out of the daycare and into the playground. Once they were all out, Sylveon collapsed beside the door. Seconds later, her best friend Glaceon came out. She was in the same condition Sylveon was in and fell next to her. They were tired, the number of kids there were getting was too much for them. Every kid had a different need and the two of them weren't able to keep up with it all.

"Sylvie."

"Yeah?"

"How long until parent pickup?"

"...Three hours," Sylveon replied.

The two groaned loudly. They've been working for the past six hours nonstop, and it's only Thursday, they had another day before the weekend started. Cinderace had arrived minutes earlier and was now teaching some of the kids how to play football.

"At least Cinderace is here, at least we have some help now," Glaveon said. She looked over at Sylveon, who was holding a plush of Pikachu and licking the head of it. "What are you doing?"

"Pikachu uses blueberry shampoo and his head normally tastes like blueberry, so I'm trying to see if licking a plush of him will taste the same," Sylveon said.

"Is it working?"

"No," Sylveon said sadly. "I wish Pikachu was here. I miss him so much."

"So do I, at least we know he's done with his mission. I still can't believe it's been five months," Glaceon said, remembering everything that happened five months ago.

Flashback

"What do you mean you're leaving!" Sylveon and Glaceon exclaimed after hearing what Pikachu told them.

"I'm going to be gone for five months. I was tasked by my job to travel around the world on foot. No phone, no plane or boat, nothing. All I'll have is limited supplies and a GPS tracker," Pikachu told them.

"B-but you can't leave, I had all this stuff planned for all of us to do," Sylveon said with tears in her eyes. 

"I'm sorry Sylvie, but you'll have to do them without me," Pikachu told her.

"No! I won't let you! I'll do anything, I'll stop annoying you, I won't use my confetti cannon, I'll stop giving Sylvie smooches, just don't leave!" Sylveon cried and hugged Pikachu tightly.

"I'm sorry Sylvie, but it's already been arranged for me to leave next week," Pikachu said. Sylveon broke down crying, she didn't want Pikachu to leave. She wished it was a nightmare and not reality.

"W-what day do you leave?" Glaceon asked sadly. Pikachu frowned, not wanting to make them more upset.

"That's what I'm afraid to tell you two. I actually leave tomorrow morning, I'm being transported to another continent to start," He told them. Sylveon fainted in his arms when she heard that.

"So... we won't see you for five months?" Glaceon said sadly.

"Yeah. The thing is though, I'm worried about leaving you two alone. This is the first time I'll be separated from you two for a long period of time, and I'm worried that Sylveon's disability will get out of hand with me being gone," Pikachu told her, looking at the pink and white fox in his arms.

"That's what I'm afraid of too, she really cares about you ya know," Glaceon said. Pikachu looked at Glaceon sadly.

"Glace, I'm sorry for being so sudden about this. It was hard for me to make this decision and-" Glaceon stopped him by nuzzling her head under his chin.

"Don't be sorry Pikachu. This is your job after all, and you're an explorer. We can't ever be mad at what you do best," Glaceon said. "But, how will we know if you're ok? Sylveon will have a panic attack if she doesn't know where you are."

"Well, news about me traveling around the world got out everywhere, so I'll have a GPS tracker on me at all to locate me. And on the news channel, it'll update weekly on my whereabouts and condition," Pikachu explained to her.

"Well, at least that'll keep her a bit calm. So, what are you gonna do for the rest of the day?" Glaceon asked.

"Simple," Pikachu took Glaceon's paw and held it in his hand, making her blush. "I'm gonna spend the rest of the day with my best friends."

Glaceon smiled, "I'm glad we're friends, Pikachu."

"Same here, now let's get something sweet to wake her up," Pikachu said, indicating to the fainted fox in his arms.

The next morning came rather quickly for Sylveon and Glaceon. It was time to say goodbye to Pikachu. The three were at the airport, in front of the gate to Pikachu's plane.

"Well, this is it," Pikachu said.

"Yeah, it is," Glaceon replied.

"Do you have to go?" Sylveon asked sadly. Trying her best not to cry.

"Sorry, Sylvie. Tell you what, while I'm gone, you can make as many Sylvie smooches cards as you want, and when I come back you can use them all at once. And after that, the two of us will have a cupcake day, just me and you making cupcakes all day. How about that?" Sylveon ran up and gave Pikachu a big hug and started to cry.

"I'm gonna miss you," Sylveon sobbed. "One more Sylvie smooch?"

"Go ahead," Pikachu said. Sylveon leaned forward and kissed him on the lips, surprising Pikachu and Glaceon. Normally, Sylveon would kiss his cheek, her kissing him full on the lips was a shock to them. Sylveon realized she was kissing him longer than she thought and quickly separated from him.

"S-sorry... I didn't... I..." Sylveon said flustered. She was so embarrassed she wrapped her face with her ribbons and turned away from Pikachu. Pikachu lightly chuckled and turned to Glaceon.

"You're gonna regret the Sylvie smooches thing. She'll be kissing you for hours," Glaceon told him.

"I know, but if it makes her happy then I'll do it. And for you, I'll be sure to be back before your birthday. We'll take a trip up north to the ice mountains and go figure skating and after that, you can try alcohol for the first time since you'll be of age," Pikachu told her.

"Of course you know I want to have my first drink when you get back," Glaceon said. The two shared a hug and Glaceon whispered in his ear. "Please stay safe, for our sake."

Pikachu nodded, "I will. If you see Luke and Millie, tell Luke I'm sorry I couldn't make it to his concert and tell Millie I'm sorry I couldn't make it to her modeling show. She'll be pretty upset at that so don't be afraid to freeze her if things get out of hand," Pikachu said, whispering the last sentence to her. Glaceon giggled and hugged him again.

Luke and Millie were Pikachu's siblings. Together, the three are triplets. But Luke and Millie were unique, Luke had yellow fur, but had green cheeks, eyes, and ears. He was also able to use grass and bug moves. Millie's fur was all white, she also had pink eyes, cheeks, ears, and was able to use psychic and fairy moves. Early on in their lives, Luke and Millie felt guilty that they had cool abilities but Pikachu didn't. He was a simple Pikachu. But later on, Pikachu was able to let them know that it didn't bother him, as long as they all stayed as a family, he was happy.

"Flight 432 is now boarding and will take off in twenty minutes," A woman on the loudspeaker said.

"That's my flight," Pikachu said. He went over to Sylveon and uncovered her face. "I'm leaving Sylvie. Let's have a group hug."

Sylveon smiled and pulled all three of them together with her ribbons for a group hug. After a few minutes, they let go and Pikachu boarded his plane, but not without waving goodbye to his friends one last time.

One week later

Sylveon and Glaceon were at Glaceon's home, waiting eagerly to see the start of Pikachu's journey.

"Come on, come on! When is it gonna start!" Sylveon cried, feeling giddy and bouncing on her paws.

"It'll be on soon, we just gotta wait a bit more," Glaceon said. She was not as excited as Sylveon but excited nevertheless.

"It's starting!" Sylveon exclaimed. The two turned their attention to the T.V, where they saw Pikachu on the ground from a camera on a helicopter.

"Hello ladies and gentlemen, we are about to see history, this boy at age eighteen is about to travel around the world on foot! This will go down in the history books for a long, long time," A guy on the news said. "And we're about to see it start in three... two... one... and he's off!"

Pikachu started his run around the world. The two foxes watching were proud to see their friend begin his long journey and potentially make history.

"Do you think Pikachu could get done early?" Sylveon asked her friend.

Glaceon smiled, "Maybe, we'll have to wait and see-"

"Oh no, it looks like he fell off a cliff!" The guy on T.V said. Glaceon and Sylveon went pale when they didn't see Pikachu on the screen anymore.

"Glace."

"Yeah?"

"I'm gonna scream, really loudly."

"Same here."

The two screamed loudly. So loud that the windows started to crack.

"Oh wait, false alarm people. That was a different person. Pikachu went the opposite direction," The guy on T.V said. Sylveon and Glaceon sighed in relief, they looked at each other and laughed. It was gonna be a long five months for them.

"Wait a minute," Sylveon spoke. "What happened to the guy who fell?"

End Flashback

"What did happen to that guy?" Sylveon wondered.

"Who knows. Probably dead," Glaceon replied. "Hey Sylv, are you gonna sing your welcome song to the new kid today?"

Sylveon shook her head. "No, not this time. I don't have enough spirit to sing any songs."

"Well that's no way to act, I like hearing you sing your songs."

The two foxes turned around in shock. Standing there was Pikachu, looking at the two with a smile.

"You know, I have a feeling that I'm gonna be hugged really ti-" Sylveon and Glaceon lunged towards him and put him in a big hug. "C-called it," Pikachu choked out, struggling to breathe for the third time today.

"Let go Sylveon, he can't breathe," Glaceon said. The two let go of him, allowing him to breathe again.

"It is 'kill Pikachu day', isn't it?" Pikachu complained. "I thought Beautifly was gonna hurt the most, but it's you two combined."

"Well, when you have two friends that care about you a lot worrying every week for the past five months, we're gonna give you big hugs," Glaceon told him. The two once again hugged him, but this time more gentle. Pikachu smiled and hugged them back.

"Not gonna lie, I missed you guys and your hugs," Pikachu told them.

"We missed you too," Sylveon said. They hugged for a few more minutes before separating from each other.

"Sorry for not coming back sooner, they wanted me to stay at the hospital longer to make sure I was good to come home," Pikachu turned to Glaceon. "I'm especially sorry to you, Glaceon. I wanted to come back sooner for your birthday, but things got in the way."

"Don't be sorry about that, Pikachu. You being here now is better than on my birthday. I'd be greedy if I wanted you back that soon anyway," Glaceon told him.

"Still, I'm bummed out I couldn't' be here. But..." Pikachu dug into his bag and took out two small boxes. "I got both of you presents."

The two looked at the boxes curiously. Sylveon spoke up, "Pikachu, you didn't have to-"

Pikachu cut her off, "I had to. You two are my best friends after all," Pikachu handed them the presents. The two opened them and were shocked to see what was inside. Both were given beautiful necklaces. Glaceon's had blue gemstones on it while Sylveon's had pink gemstones.

(Images for necklaces will be shown at the end of the chapter)

"Wow!" They both said in amazement and put them on.

"Pretty, huh? I found three unknown gemstones in a cave I found, so I took a few and made them into necklaces for you two," Pikachu explained.

"It's so beautiful, thank you Pikachu," Sylveon thanked and hugged him. Glaceon did the same.

"But wait, you said three gemstones. What did you do with the third one?" Glaceon asked.

"Oh, I made a necklace of that one too," Pikachu said and pulled the green necklace out of his bag. "But I don't know what to do with it."

"Maybe I should get it!"

The three sighed, they looked across the street, standing in front of her daycare was Buneary. Looking as bland as ever.

"And why should you get it?" Pikachu asked.

"Because I deserve it. You never said goodbye to me when you left. I was so lonely without you," Buneary whined.

"I didn't say bye to you because I don't like you," Pikachu said.

"Don't be silly Pika, I know you still love me," Buneary said.

"My god, she doesn't give up," Pikachu muttered. Loud enough for Glaceon and Sylveon to hear.

Glaceon looked over to Sylveon and gave her a wink. Sylveon smiled and winked back. Together, they each kissed one side of Pikachu's cheeks, careful to not be shocked by his electricity. When Buneary saw this and got angry, her face turned red and steam was coming out of her ears.

"You fucking sluts! How dare you kiss my Pika!" She shouted at them.

Glaceon gave her a smug look, "He's not your Pika, he's our Pika. Isn't that right Sylvie?"

Sylveon nodded. "Yeah, and we're gonna have lots of fun tonight."

Buneary let out a loud scream. "Fine! Keep your stupid necklace! But give me the spare rose you have and I'll leave you alone."

Pikachu shrugged sheepishly. "Sorry, but I gave it away already."

Buneary screamed again. "Fuck you! I'm calling the cops and demanding my rose!" Buneary stomped back in her daycare and slammed the door shut. Pikachu, Sylveon, and Glaceon stared ahead blankly. Pikachu then turned his head to Sylveon.

"So, how many cards did you make?"

"7,912. We're gonna have a fun time," Sylveon said seductively.

"Sounds like you wanna do more than just kissing," Pikachu said.

Sylveon began blushing wildly. "N-no. I... uhh... Look at the time, I have to kiss- I mean... make love- I mean... goodbye!" Sylveon ran to the doors, but instead of opening them, she ran straight into them and fell down, too dizzy to get up.

Glaceon laughed and shook her head. "Welcome back Pikachu," She said and went to her friend. Pikachu chuckled, he looked at the necklace in his hands, wondering that to do with it. He then got an idea.

'I know what to do with this,' He thought. He put the necklace in his bag and walked over to his two friends.

He was glad he was back home.

...

It was sunset, parents had come and picked their kids up to bring them home. When they were done, Sylveon and Glaceon were headed home for the day as they were tired. Pikachu told them that he was staying in the city longer, this didn't go well with one of them.

"But you always go home with us," Sylveon said upset.

"I know, I'm sorry Sylvie. But there's something I need to do here first," Pikachu said.

"Can't it wait tomorrow? Please," Sylveon said and gave him the puppy eyes.

"As cute as you look, it won't work," Pikachu told her.

"Come on Sylv, we'll see him tomorrow," Glaceon said, wanting to get to the train before it leaves.

"Aww, ok," Sylveon said disappointed. "Sylvie smooch?"

"Go ahead," Pikachu said. Like she did five months ago, she kissed him on the lips. It lasted a few seconds before she separated. The two said their goodbyes and left for the train station. When they were out of sight, Pikachu began his walk to the Black Pearl, where he hoped for Leafeon to be there.

"You never told me you were a celebrity."

Pikachu turned his head and saw Leafeon standing in a nearby alley.

"Well, I wouldn't say celebrity. I'd prefer well known," Pikachu said and walked up to her. 

"Yeah, well known by millions of people," Leafeon said with a smirk.

"Touche. So, how are you doing?"

"You know, doing homeless things. Walk around the dangerous part of town, watched a few gang fights, get harassed, get hit by ten condoms. The usual," Leafeon said.

"Doesn't sound like you had a good time," Pikachu frowned.

Leafeon sighed. "Well, it's better than getting killed, that's for sure."

"Well, you won't be seeing all that soon. You ready to go to the Black Pearl?" Pikachu asked.

"Like, go inside?" Leafeon questioned.

"Yeah, what else?" Pikachu said.

"I... I can't go in there. The Black Pearl is a five-star restaurant. Someone like me shouldn't be in there," Leafeon said nervously.

"Why? I think you can be in there," Pikachu told her.

"Because the people that go there are rich and attractive. I'm ugly and homeless, I don't belong there," Leafeon said and looked down sadly.

"That's completely false. You are by no means ugly," Pikachu said.

"You're just saying that. I'm ugly compared to other girls," Leafeon frowned.

"Not true, everyone has their own beauty, nobody is ever ugly, including you," Pikachu told her.

"How? What makes me not ugly?" Leafeon asked.

"Remember what I said to you when we met, I said you were pretty, and I mean it. I'm friends with the most cutest and most beautiful girls in the city, and neither of them are pretty as you are," Pikachu said.

Leafeon was quiet for a while, "You... you think so?"

"I don't think, I know so," Pikachu then remembered something. "Close your eyes for a sec."

Leafeon did so, after a few seconds she felt something being put around her neck.

'What is he doing?' She thought curiously.

"Ok, open them," Leafeon opened her eyes and was shocked to see a green necklace around her neck.

"W-what?" Leafeon said confused.

"That necklace had gemstones that have never been seen before. At first, I didn't know what to do with it, but now I know that you're the perfect one to wear that necklace," Pikachu said.

"I... I don't know what to say," Leafeon said dumbfounded.

"Just know Leafeon, that you are pretty in your own way, and no one can be your kind of pretty," Pikachu said. Leafeon couldn't help but throw herself to Pikachu and hug him. Pikachu smiled and hugged her back.

"T-thank you," Leafeon said in a soft voice.

"It's ok if you don't want to go to the Black Pearl. We can take a walk around the city instead," Pikachu suggested.

Leafeon smiled. "I'd like that."

Pikachu held out his hand to her, Leafeon blushed and took his hand with her paw and the two began their walk, hand in paw.

...

Sylveon and Glaceon were sitting on the train, waiting to arrive at the station near their home. Sylveon was looking out the window and staring at the stars, while Glaceon was on her phone watching a video.

"Glace, do you ever wonder how stars are made?" Sylveon asked.

"Sometimes," Glaceon replied.

"Do you think we'll get to see a star up close?"

"Probably not a good idea Sylveon," Glaceon said.

"Why? Is it gonna burn me to death or something?" Sylveon asked.

"...Sure, let's go with that," Glaceon sighed.

Sylveon looked over and saw what Glaceon was watching. On her screen was a Pikachu with red fur, white hands, white feet, green cheeks, and green eyes. "Who's that?"

"Her name's Shana, she's an internet celebrity. I found out about her because Buneary made a hate video on her because Shana was a fan of Pikachu. Needless to day, Buneary got a lot of hate," Glaceon told.

"Is this Shana girl that famous?" Sylveon wondered.

"Yeah. This is a live video, look how many people are watching her right now," Glaceon showed Sylveon the live viewer count, over five-hundred thousand people were watching her.

"Wow, that's a lot of people," Sylveon said amazed.

"I know. Too bad most of them are perverts though," Glaceon sighed.

"And, you said she's a fan of Pikachu?"

"Yeah, why?" Glaceon asked. She could see Sylveon frown sadly. "Sylv, no need to be jealous over some random girl."

"I'm not jealous, just... worried," Sylveon admitted.

"Worried about what?" Glaceon asked.

"What if... Pikachu falls in love with a girl we don't know. What if he forgets about us," Sylveon said concerned.

"That's not gonna ever happen Sylv, both you and I know that," Glaceon said.

"Still, there's always a chance it'll happen," Sylveon said.

"Even if it does happen, we have to accept it. You know the law Sylv, he can only marry one girl."

"I don't care!" Sylveon yelled, surprising Glaceon. Sylveon took a deep breath and sighed deeply. "Glace, we both love him. I don't want to fight over him with you, I want all three of us to be happy together."

Glaceon frowned, "Sylv, I know we both want to be with Pikachu, but remember, it's his choice who he wants to be with. Who knows, he may not want to get a girlfriend. Getting one means he would have to slow down on his adventures."

"I know. But... no... I don't even have a chance anyway," Sylveon sniffled.

"Why not?"

"Because of my disorder. I can't control who I am, how can someone love me when I'm constantly going from happy, to being sad, to getting mad at nothing, to being disgusted at everything, and being depressed for no reason. And I have another issue too," Sylveon said sadly.

"Another one? When did this happen and what is it?" Glaceon asked.

"A week after Pikachu left. I'm too embarrassed to tell you," Sylveon blushed.

"You can tell my Sylv, I won't think of you any other way," Glaceon said.

"Well, ok. But don't tell anyone, especially Pikachu. He can never find out about this!" Sylveon strictly told her.

"I promise I won't tell," Glaceon promised.

"Ok. How do I start? Since Pikachu left, I've been having some... thoughts, bad thoughts," Sylveon blushed.

"What kind of bad thoughts?" Glaceon asked.

"Uhh,  I think the only appropriate way to say this is that I'm feeling randy, as the British put it," Sylveon said.

"Ohh, well... that's a normal thing to happen. We're still young after all," Glaceon said.

"Yeah, but it's really bad, like, worse than Pinkamena bad. And that's the worse kind of bad, at least I think it is. I mean, there are many kinds of bad out there but-"

"Sylveon, you're rambling."

"I am!? Oh no, not again. Once I get talking I never stop talking. Glace, help me please, I don't know what to do. I'm not having a good time right now-"

"Ok! You're doing it again! Stop!" Glaceon took a deep breath and let out a long sigh. "Ok, now what were we talking about?"

"About me wanting to (quack) Pikachu," Sylveon said.

'Oh yeah, she censors herself,' Glaceon said in her head. "Ok, if this is worse than Pinkamena like you said, we have some work to do. And I got the perfect way to help you."

"How?"

"By resisting your temptations, starting now," Glaceon said with an evil smirk.

Sylveon gulped nervously, "I should've kept my mouth shut."

...

Cinderace and Beautifly were in a small coffee shop drinking coffee and eating pastries to their heart's content.

"I'm glad Pikachu is back, it's been boring without him here," Beautifly said.

"I know, right. It hasn't been the same without him," Cinderace agreed.

"But geez, he sure knows how to make five months feel like a year."

"Think about how it was for Sylveon and Glaceon. Those two love the guy with all their heart. I'm sure they're really glad he's back."

"I'm still waiting if they're gonna start a harem. I can't take it anymore, I want to see at least one of them kiss," Beautifly groaned.

"Beautifly, you know the law around here. You can only marry one person, now harems allowed," Cinderace reminded her.

"That law is full of shit, people should be able to love more than one person at once," Beautifly said with a huff.

"Sounds like you really want to see those three start a harem, but I think you want to see it happen so you can join as well," Cinderace teased.

Beautifly blushed embarrassed, "What! No way! Me and Pikachu being together is impossible, especially with those two so attracted to him."

"Fair point, though Pikachu doesn't seem like the to slow down. He still loves going on his adventures after all. I mean, it's also his job."

"Yeah," Beautifly looked out the window and looked at the lights of the city. But then, she saw something that made her jaw (Does she have a jaw?) drop. "Cinderace, do you know any other girls Pikachu is friends with?"

"No, why?" Cinderace looked out the window as well and was shocked to see Pikachu walking around the city with someone they didn't know. The two could see both Pikachu and the other person holding hands/paws as they walked down the street.

"Now there's a shock," Cinderace said surprised.

"Looks like Sylveon and Glaceon might have some competition," Beautifly said.

"Ten bucks saying she and Glaceon will fight."

"Deal."

...

Grovyle was at his shop, he was closing the place of the night as it was late out. He made sure everything was right before walking out.

'Damn, I still don't know who stole my bread from earlier. Whoever it was, I'm gonna make them pay,' Grovyle angrily thought. He locked his shop door and started his walk home, that was until a certain yellow mouse got into view.

'Wonder what he's doing,' Grovyle thought. He saw Pikachu walking with someone he didn't know. Grovyle could easily tell the person was a Leafeon, but he doesn't know any Leafeons that live nearby.

'Strange, who's that?' He questioned. When he got a better view of the Leafeon, his heart exploded. He thought the Leafeon was the most beautiful girl he's ever met.

'Wow, she's hot,' He thought, 'Maybe Pikachu will introduce her to me tomorrow, then I can make her mine,' He said in his head. 'Yes, she's perfect, I'll do anything to make her my bride.'

...

Thirty minutes have passed, Pikachu and Leafeon were still on their walk, but now eating giant soft pretzels that Pikachu bought.

"I never would've thought something so soft could taste so good," Leafeon said in delight as she took another bite. "What are these called again?"

"Soft Pretzels, they're one of the best things you can buy at snack stands," Pikachu told her.

"I wish I known about these sooner. I would've totally stolen them," Leafeon said.

"Uhh, stealing isn't really the best thing to do."

"Hey, you can't blame me, I steal for a living, and to live."

"You make a profit from it?"

"Yeah, it's called keeping my dignity."

"Do they really try to rape you?'

"Yeah, it sucks that nearly every male out there is also a pervert, but I guess being rape would've been better than dying."

"Neither of them are good. I don't want either of those things to happen to you."

"Well, you'll never know what'll happen, this world does suck after all. It'll probably be the only way I'll ever experience sex."

"I'm not gonna let that happen," Pikachu said. "If anyone tries to hurt you, you can bet I'll be there to make them suffer."

Leafeon smiled and nuzzled his cheek, "You really know how to make people feel safe."

Pikachu chuckled. "It's what I do."

Leafeon felt her heart beat faster and her body getting hotter. 'This feeling again, why is it back?' Leafeon noticed something strange. When she nuzzled Pikachu, she felt safer around him. Like every problem she had was now gone. She also felt for the first time that someone actually cared for her. Everything she was feeling right now was all new to her, and it was confusing her.

"H-hey, we should get to my place, it's getting late, and you need to adjust to sleeping in a house," Pikachu said.

"R-right," Leafeon replied with a blush.

"Follow me, we need to take a train to where I live," Pikachu began to lead Leafeon to the train station. As they walked, they passed by the Black Pearl. Seeing the restaurant reminded Leafeon of something very important.

'Oh no, Keldeo. He's probably pissed right now,' Leafeon thought. She kept quiet, hoping that Keldeo didn't see them at all. She and Pikachu got to the train station, they walked to the door and to Leafeon's surprise, they opened on their own.

"Ahh!" She screamed and jumped in Pikachu's arm. Pikachu was surprised by Leafeon's sudden reaction.

"Uhh, is everything alright?" Pikachu asked.

"T-the doors just opened on their own!" Leafeon said panicked.

"Yeah, it's an automatic door," Pikachu said and set Leafeon down.

A-automatic?" Leafeon said confused.

"Yeah, they open on their own. Whenever there's motion nearby, it'll open," Pikachu told her.

"I... I never knew," Leafeon said in bewilderment.

"You didn't? I thought you would know that" Pikachu said.

"I've never been inside a building before. Hell, I've never been to a school before," Leafeon said to him.

'Not even a school? How good is her knowledge then?' Pikachu thought. "Do you even know about how everyday things work?"

"No, not really," Leafeon admitted.

"Hmm, it looks like I'll have to teach you a few things then," Pikachu said.

"I don't need to learn things, I know plenty," Leafeon scoffed.

"Tell me this, how do you greet someone?"

"Call them a bitch, why?" Leafeon asked.

Pikachu sighed and facepalmed himself, "That's not how you greet someone, that's how you make people hate you."

"Oh, you know what, maybe I do need some help," Leafeon embarrassingly admitted.

"Yeah, let's do that tomorrow, follow me," Pikachu and Leafeon walked in the train station. Pikachu paid for their tickets and the two went into one of the train cars. The one they were in had nobody inside, it was just them.

Pikachu sat down and Leafeon sat in the seat next to him. Leafeon felt her heart beat fast again. She was alone with Pikachu, for some reason, this felt like a dream to her. Like she waited for this moment for her whole life to be with just him.

"Hey, Pikachu."

"Yeah?"

"You know about my story, or, what I'm able to tell you. But what about you? What's your story?" She asked.

Pikachu took a moment to think, "When I think about it, I realize we have something in common."

"We do? What is it that we have in common?"

"Well, we were both homeless," Pikachu said. Leafeon was shocked to hear that.

"You were?"

"Yeah. I can't remember much since I was so young. But I remember my mother, only vaguely though. I know she loved me a lot when I was young but something happened. One day, I woke up to two new people I never met. I knew they weren't my parents but they sure treated me like their son. For a few years, they were my parents. They were homeless and were professional thieves. They could steal anything without getting caught, no matter how hard people try to catch them, they couldn't."

"So you were raised by homeless thieves?"

"Yep, and I quickly learned all of their tricks," Pikachu said as he held Leafeon's dagger in front of her face. Leafeon was surprised to see her dagger in Pikachu's possession.

"H-how did you...?" Leafeon stuttered in surprise.

Pikachu chuckled and gave the danger back. "I have my ways."

"And you tell me stealing is bad, but you're a pro at it."

"Hey, I don't steal anymore."

"I find that hard to believe."

"Nope. Not after I got my adopted parents arrested. I tried to steal a priceless diamond so we could sell it and get a house, but I got caught and they took the blame for me. They were sentenced to prison for life."

"Oh, I'm sorry," Leafeon said.

"Don't be, it's my own fault. I shouldn't have done it in the first place. I was so stupid," Pikachu said in a sad, frustrated tone. "But after that, thing got weird."

"How weird?"

"Well, once I was on my own, I met two Pikachu's like me, one had white fur with pink cheeks and eyes, and the other had yellow fur and green cheeks and eyes. I later learn that they were my brother and sister and that the three of us are triplets. Turns out, the same thing happened to them, except for being homeless and stealing. My sister was raised by fashion models and my brother was raised by rockstar. They had a better life than I did, that's for sure."

"Is this gonna be one of those stories where a lot of shit happens and trying to explain it gets confusing?"

"Yeah. Their adopted parents told them that they were left behind by someone else and that we were siblings. So when the two of them found each other, they left their homes to look for me, but now all three of us were homeless. But I was somehow able to get a job at a place called Sekai Hakken. I saved enough to rent a small apartment for all three of us and got us into a school. That's where I met my two best friends, their names are Sylveon and Glaceon. But when they were Eevees it was hard to tell who was who. But we decided to call one of them cupcake.

"Why cupcake?"

"Because she loves cupcakes and she's as sweet as one. Anyway, my brother and sister got a job as well, my sister is a model and my brother is in a band. I was still working at Sekai Haken, but I was a janitor there and hated being there."

"Why does that name sound familiar?" Leafeon wondered.

Pikachu smiled. "You'll see. One day, Sekai Hakken was looking for new employees for the main jobs, so I, being tired of being a janitor, tried out. And boy did I not expect to get it. I was now a lead explorer for Sekai Hakken, one of the biggest government exploration teams in the world."

"Now I remember! The tall building in the center of town. That's your job?! I heard they're a multi-billion dollar company!"

"That's right, even since then, I've been very popular due to finding lots of new things around the world, and the rest is history," Pikachu finished.

"Wow, so you were able to go from having nothing to being famous around the whole world," Leafeon said amazed.

"Yep, with hard work and a little bit of hope, I was able to live a... semi-normal life," Pikachu said sheepishly.

'I can't believe he was able to achieve so much. I feel so pathetic compared to him,' Leafeon thought sadly.

Pikachu saw the sad look on Leafeon's face and began to worry. "Is everything alright, Leafeon?"

"I'm fine, it's just that you were able to do so much from being homeless, meanwhile I wasn't able to do anything," Leafeon said.

"Well, I was lucky more than anything. I was lucky enough to get a job that got me here today. If I never got that job, I probably would've never gotten as far as I have."

"Do you think... I'll be able to turn everything around for me?"

"Of course, if I could, then you can as well. And that's saying something, 'cause I was a really stupid kid," Pikachu laughed. Leafeon couldn't help but smile.

"You know, it's hard not to smile near you," Leafeon said.

"Really?" Pikachu questioned.

Leafeon scooted next to him and nuzzled him. "And you're very comforting as well. Every time I'm near you, I feel a lot safer than before. And you're also a gentleman. When I presented myself to you, you looked away from me. Most guys would take their chance on me."

"I don't like looking at girls naked, even if it's on accident. I don't look at any girl naked unless given permission to."

"Technically, we're always naked. We don't wear clothes."

"True, but you don't see anybody walking around with their dick out, do you?"

"No, but now I'm interested in seeing that."

"I'd rather not."

"Ladies and gentlemen, we are about to deport from the station. Please stay away from the doors as they shut really tight. Thank you and enjoy the trip," A guy on the speakers said.

"I'm guessing you also haven't been on a train before, right?"

Leafeon shook her hear. "Never been on one. I didn't even know there was a train station here."

"Well, I hope you like long trips, it's gonna take a while to get to the next station," Pikachu told her.

"I won't mind, at least we can get to know each other better," Leafeon said with a smile.

Pikachu smiled back at her, "Yeah, that's true."

"Hey Leafy! I found you slut!" A voice yelled.

Leafeon gasped and looked out the train doors. Straight ahead was the person she feared, Keldeo.

"H-He's here," Leafeon said in fright.

"Who's that?" Pikachu asked as he got up from underneath Leafeon.

"N-No time, we need to run," Leafeon said panicked.

"There is no place to run, the only way out it towards him," Pikachu said. As he said that, Keldeo began charging towards them. He got closer and closer, Pikachu was ready to fight him, that was until the doors started closing, Keldeo tried to stop in time but it was too late. The doors closed, but something was being crushed by it.

"Ouch! As a guy, I felt that" Pikachu cringed. "Why the hell did he have his dick out?!"

"I guess some people do walk with their dicks out," Leafeon said amused. "And talk about having a small dick too, you'd think it'll be small enough to not get crushed by a door."

"He got the wrong horn crushed. Unless he's into that kind of stuff, that's gonna hurt a lot," Pikachu said.

"As a matter of fact," Keldeo pried open the doors and walked in. The doors shutting on their own once he was in. "I love it when it's crushed."

"Of course he's weird!"

"Shut it, rat!" Keldeo spat. "Now Leafy, you only have two options," Keldeo used Ice Beam on Pikachu and froze his body except his head and held his horn dangerously close to his neck. "You can either run and I'll kill your little boyfriend, or you can finally let me give you the fucking you deserve. You have ten seconds."

"Leafeon, get out of here, don't worry about me," Pikachu said. Leafeon wanted to run, but she didn't want Pikachu to die either.

"No, I'm not leaving you here to die!" Leafeon cried.

"Nine... eight... seven..."

"You're more important than me right now, get out!" Pikachu yelled.

"Six... five... four..."

"Leafeon, run!"

"..."

"Three... two... one. Alright rat, time to die!"

"No!" Leafeon shouted. "T-take me, do whatever you want to me. Just don't kill him."

Keldeo smiled and walked over to her. "You made the right choice," Keldeo pushed Leafeon on the ground and flipped her on her back. He stood over her and held her down with his hooves. "Got anything else to say?"

"Yeah, fuck you bitch!" Leafeon's leaf on her head glowed green and she whipped it on Keldeo's head, causing him to yelp in pain and let go of Leafeon. Leafeon got up and turned her attention to Pikachu, who surprisingly got himself out of the ice.

"How the hell did you get out?" Leafeon asked.

"I ate it. Now let's take this My Little Pony Twilight Sparkle looking ass," Pikachu said and prepared his fist for a Thunder Punch. As he said that, the train started moving. Leafeon was frightened by the sudden movement and jumped a bit.

"You had a chance Leafeon, but now I'm mad. Get ready to be my slave after I kill this rat!" Keldeo screamed and ran towards Pikachu, his horn ready to strike. Pikachu ducked down to avoid the attack and slammed his fist in Keldeo's gut. He then gave another punch to his face and used Double Kick on him. Keldeo slammed into the wall hard, he got back up and shot a Hydro Pump at Pikachu. Leafeon got in front of Pikachu and used Protect to block the attack.

"We both have an advantage over him type wise. Keep attacking and don't let him have a chance to fight back," Pikachu said. He charged up an Electro ball in his hand and threw it at Keldeo. Keldeo deflected it away but was then hit by Leafeon's Energy Ball. Pikachu followed up by striking Keldeo with Thunderbolt, and Leafeon continued it by using Leaf Blade on Keldeo.

'Damn, I can't get an attack out because I keep getting hit, I gotta think of something,' Keldeo thought. He saw his opportunity when Leafeon stopped attacking and was panting heavily.

"P-Pikachu, I... I can't..." Leafeon panted. She started feeling weak and tired.

Pikachu saw Leafeon and began to worry. 'Her body's too weak to fight. I'm on my own now,' Pikachu turned back to Keldeo, who was now in his resolute form.

"Now this fight is mine!" Keldeo charged his Sacred Sword attack and charged for Leafeon. Pikachu saw this and stood in front of Leafeon, taking the hit for her.

"Pikachu!" Leafeon cried out.

"Leafeon, you need to stay back, your body doesn't have enough energy to fight," Pikachu said to her.

"There's no way you'll be able to defeat him alone," Leafeon said. Pikachu began thinking of a way to beat Keldeo. He looked around the train car and saw a red lever.

"Leafeon, pull that lever while I distract him," Pikachu said. Leafeon nodded and moved her way to the lever.

"Oh no, you don't!" Keldeo yelled. He shot an Ice Beam at her and hit her. Leafeon screamed in pain, she was lucky to not freeze but her body felt cold nevertheless.

Keldeo went to strike Leafeon with Sacred Sword, but Pikachu grabbed his horn and held it tightly. "Leafeon, hurry!" Pikachu shouted. Leafeon used the last of her strength to get to the lever and pulled it. When she did, the door to the train car they were in opened. Pikachu saw his chance, he used his most powerful Thunderbolt while he was still holding onto Keldeo. Keldeo screamed in pain and became paralyzed from the attack. Pikachu then snapped off Keldeo's horn, punched Keldeo in the face with Thunder Punch, stabbed him with his horn, and kicked him off the train. Pikachu watched Keldeo disappear as the train sped away from his body, he went back to the lever and pulled it to close the doors, and turned his attention to Leafeon, who was barely standing. 

"Leafeon!" Pikachu cried out and went over to her. "Are you alright?"

Leafeon shook her head and collapsed, feeling too weak to stand. "M-my legs, somethings wrong with them."

"Which one?" Pikachu asked. Leafeon pointed her head to her hind legs. Pikachu looked at them and immediately noticed the issue.

"Broken. Your bones are so weak they both just snapped," Pikachu said. He picked up Leafeon and noticed her body was really cold. "Damn, that Ice Beam got you good, you can't stay this cold for long."

"A-am I gonna die?" Leafeon asked weakly.

"Not on my watch. I know what can help you, but you're too hurt to move," Pikachu said. 'And I can't bring her to that place, I barely managed to get there on my own,' Pikachu suddenly got an idea. "Leafeon, I'm gonna have two friends look after you when I get you to my house. I have to go somewhere to get the thing that'll help you."

"W-who?" Leafeon asked scared.

"Two people I trust with my life, and you can trust them too," Pikachu told her. 'Man, I should've gotten my phone fixed so I could call them. Hopefully, Sylveon will notice with her senses.'

...

Sylveon and Glaceon had gotten off of their train a while ago and were now walking home. The two lived close to each other, only living a block away from the other.

"I wish I can say I hate you Glaceon, but if I did I'll be crying for the next few hours," Sylveon pouted.

"It's for the best, Sylveon. We can't have you going crazy on Pikachu," Glaceon said.

"I know, but did you have to make me not think of having a private party with Pikachu with the most delicious cupcakes in the world?! I wanted those cupcakes!" Sylveon yelled.

'At least she didn't say Pikachu,' Glaceon thought. "Sylv, we'll continue this tomorrow. I'm too tired right now. And you need sleep too."

"I'm not tired. I drunk five cans of Monster Energy," Sylveon said.

"When?"

Sylveon burped and threw a Monster Energy can away. "Right now!"

Glaceon sighed and shook her head. 'Even after sixteen years, I still don't understand how she functions,' "Ok Sylv, I'm going home, goodnight."

"Goodnight Glac-AAAAAHH!" Sylveon legs suddenly started tapping up and down. Her tail started wagging, her ears were flopping, and her ribbons were going crazy.

"Sylv, what's going on?" Glaceon asked, scared for her friend.

"S-Sylvie senses!" Sylveon yelled panicked.

"Oh god, what does this one mean?" Glaceon pulled out her phone and began going through her notes. "Let's see, wagging tail, crazy ribbons, tapping paws, floppy ears. Got it, uhh, Pikachu's in trouble!" Glaceon yelled.

"What!!!" Sylveon screamed. "WE DON'T HAVE TIME TO WASTE!" Sylveon suddenly dashed away at blazing speeds, leaving Glaceon behind in awe.

"Uhh, how am I suppose to catch up to her?" Glaceon said flabbergasted. A few seconds later, Sylveon came back.

"Sorry, almost forgot you. Now, we don't have time to waste! So I'm gonna skip ahead to when Pikachu comes home."

"What?" Glaceon said confused.

"Ask later!" Sylveon yelled. She grabbed Glaceon and in a blink of an eye, were at Pikachu's house. Sylveon burst through the doors and ran to Pikachu's room. Pikachu was startled by Sylveon's sudden appearance.

"Jesus Christ Sylv, warn me next time," Pikachu said, still startled by her. Glaceon walked in, still confused by what happened in the past minute.

"Pikachu, what's going on?" Glaceon asked. She soon got her answer, on Pikachu's bed was Leafeon, who was injured and shivering.

"I'll have to explain everything later. I need you two to watch over her until I get back," Pikachu told them.

"I'll do my best, ma'am," Sylveon saluted and stared intensely at Leafeon.

"Stop reading fanfics Sylv, they're confusing you," Pikachu sighed. He turned back to Glaceon with an apologetic look. "I'm sorry for making this sudden, but I need to get something to help her."

"You don't need to be sorry Pikachu, but can you tell me what you're looking for?" Glaceon asked.

"It's called a miracle stone. It can fully heal anyone by just touching it. If I can find it, she'll be fully healed," Pikachu explained. "I got no time to waste, I won't be gone for too long. Try to warm her up and make sure she doesn't walk," Pikachu said to them and ran off outside. 

Glaceon watched as her friend disappeared into the dark. She sighed and turned to Sylveon, who was still staring at Leafeon. "Sylv, when he said to watch her, that doesn't me stare at her."

"I know. But I'm trying to avoid them," Sylveon said.

"Avoid who?"

"The people watching us!" Sylveon yelled. She gasped and hid under the bed. "They won't find me!"

Leafeon weakly looked at Glaceon with a confused look. "I-Is she normally like this?"

"Oh, you have no idea," Glaceon sighed. "I'm Glaceon, that's Sylveon. And weird stuff like this is normal for us."

"Oh, so we're in one of those stories, huh?"

"Yep."

12236 words. As you can see, Sylveon's character has changed dramatically. I hope you'll like the new her, although she'll probably be annoying to some. Cinderace and Beautifly are new additions that replace Greninja and Braixen, and Shana is a new addition as well.  And yes, I know there are too many female characters, but trust me, there will be more males soon. That's all for now, I'll be adjusting chapter two since I changed this chapter entirely. That's all for now.

Smile :)
