Pikachu woke up in a comfortable bed. It was a sunny day, and he was in the backyard of an old house. He could see the trees outside, and could smell the sun on the freshly plucked grass.

The Pikachu slowly walked out the door and saw the entire backyard. He saw a tree next to him with a small opening in it. "That is where I come every morning when it is sunny outside. I came here because there is a nice view and I can take some rest." A boy in his late teens said.

The Pikachu nodded. It was a good way to start the morning. "Do you know what are we doing today? I just thought about it, and I think it would be a nice idea to have some outdoor training."

"Yeah, I know what you mean buddy" The boy answered. "Don't worry, we're going to the city today, where we will be fighting against different trainers and Pokémon."

Pikachu smiled happily at his trainer. He definitely likes it when his trainer takes him out. But, what he really loves is the peaceful and good vibe his friendly relationship with that human was.

"Make sure to be finished with breakfast, so we don't have to go walking, like last time" Pikachu's trainer asked.

"You got it" the Pikachu replied.

As soon as they had finished, Pikachu and his trainer started to walk towards the train station, which laid near the gym they had previously met. After an hour of swift walking, they got to see a impressive building surrounded by railways.

"It's pretty high!" he exclaimed. "Have you been here before?"

"Well, I haven't". Pikachu was excited for the adventure he was about to start. The young trainer also felt the same way. After all, being able to travel to the capital city of the region was the best thing he could've wished for.

As he sat on the train, he watched through the window the changing landscapes until they reached the city.

However, as he left the train station, a rush of memories started to come to him. They all flowed, flooding his mind. Soon, he started to panic, thinking about what was to come. Soon, he felt everything turning black.

---

He immediately jumped on his nest, realizing that he was having his typical nightmares again. They always happened every time he thought he was able to leave his past behind.

The Pikachu sat, shaking. He knew that something bad would happen to him in the future. A heavy weight hung on his chest, as he tried to regain his consciousness.

"RAAHH!" He groaned in frustation, as he felt his angst pushing down on his chest, making it hard to breathe.

After half an hour the Pikachu finally felt a feeling of calm through him, as he came to the conclusion that it was only a nightmare.

But, just as he started to relax, he noticed that it was almost time to wake up.

"Time to have breakfast" He exclaimed, as he jumped to the table, and opened a tupper with some berries he took weekly from the nearby park. It wasn't as good as the breakfast menu from there, but it was still good enough for Pikachu's standards, and it was also a good way to start the day without unwanted company.

As soon as he was done eating, he sat on his nest, and started to thing how the last five days after Raichu left had been. He soon smiled as he remembered what had happened.

One day, he had started to talk to Eevee about the place people called "The Cinema". It was a really big room, which was decorated with a massive white curtain. Then, a good movie was usually shown there every Saturday. Eevee looked interested, but he couldn't talk back to Pikachu as he didn't know what a cinema was, so he decided to go to the cinema this Saturday with the cubs. He then waited a bit until wake-up time, and as soon as the cubs finished to have their breakfast, Pikachu got out of his room and went to search for Eevee. As it was weekend, he would be probably in his room.

When he arrived at Eevee's room, he could see him lying in his nest, and he had a big bowl of chocolate milk on the table. Eevee was just drinking, and the Pikachu took a few steps forward.

"Hey, Eevee" he said, "I'm going to the cinema this Saturday. Want to come with me?"

"Yeah!" Eevee replied happily.

"Awesome! There's only one question I need to know" Pikachu continued. "Do you want to invite someone?"

Eevee looked surprised, and he asked for a moment. He was a shy cub and didn't had a lot of friends. But, Pikachu knew that he had to try. So, he smiled and tried to convince him "Think about it, if you talk with other kids about the film, you'll have some more friends".

Eevee considered the idea, then nodded. "Sure" he said, "I guess I'll invite a few of the polite kids".

"Alright, then, I'll leave now, and we'll meet in the front hall to go there".

"Okay!" Eevee replied.

Pikachu thought for a moment. He liked Saturdays, as it was a lot easier to interact with the cubs in a more relaxed environment. He then smiled, and said "good luck, Eevee"

With that, he walked outside, and walked around the park. He was thinking about the day that was to come, until Pidgeot saw him. Pidgeot was a friendly bird, so she didn't thaw to the idea of staying at home on her own on Saturday.

"Hey, Pikachu" she shouted.

Pikachu immediately answered "Hey, Pidgeot" with a smile, and he waved at her. She then flew to him, and landed in front of him.

"Hey, Pidgeot" He said happily. "Wanna go with me to the cinema with Eevee?"

Pidgeot nodded "Sure, I'll come with you. Are you inviting the others?" she added.

Pikachu then though about Espeon, Sceptile, Carracosta, Hitmonchan, and others who worked with him more or less frequently. "Of course, I will tell them as soon as I find them."

"Alright" Pidgeot replied happily, and then she flew with him back to the complex.

As soon as they landed back in their place, Pikachu invited one by one to all the people he worked with, and also some kind cubs who could chat with Eevee.

But what he didn't remember is that it was a Saturday. Raichu was visiting the place today. So, Pikachu decided to go out for a walk again until it was time to go to the cinema. Luckily, he would be able to avoid Raichu for this week.

"Ok" he said "I'm going to take the tickets now. If anyone else shows up, you can go with them."

It wasn't more than ten minutes until he left, thinking that he would now enjoy a Raichu-free Saturrday evening. However, he was soon surprised.

"Hey, Pikachu!"

Pikachu turned, and saw that it was Raichu. "Oh, hi Raichu" he said, thinking as fast as he could to come up with something. "I didn't see you there, you look like you're in a hurry. Is it true?"

Raichu smiled "Not really. I was looking for you, I've been thinking about some things we could do to entertain the kids today."

Pikachu felt very frightened to tell her that he already planned something to do. Something to avoid HER, to be more precise.

"You mean you'll play games with the kids?" He said, trying to make her talk more, so he could think of a better way to convince her out of his plans.

"Yeah"

Pikachu's eyes widened. "That's a really nice idea, Raichu"

"It was, but Espeon told me that you were going to the cinema today. She said that you'll invite some of your friends."

Pikachu thought about what to do now. She didn't just discovered his plans, but was also invited to join them. The look in her eyes showed that she was very keen on the idea, so he tried to come up with another excuse. But when he noticed Raichu staring at him, he thought that the best idea was to try to make her loathe to come, so she won't want to get into it.

"You don't have to come if you don't want, Raichu" he said with his most cheerful voice. "We are going to see a kids movie, which isn't the best type of thing for adults to watch."

Pikachu felt really scared now. He really wished to convince Raichu, because he had run out of arguments by now.

Raichu was quite pleased by this offer, and nodded. "That's perfect. I'll go to the cinema with them. I know you want the cubs to have fun, so that's a great choice!"

Pikachu was very stressed to hear this, because he felt very pressured around Raichu, but Pikachu came with an excellent idea to stay at home himself. "Well, it's better if you are the one who goes with them. If there are a lot of us in there, the cubs may get distracted, and nobody wants that, right?"

"Of course" Raichu replied. "But you can come as well, since you are the one who invited me. I don't like to know you are spending time alone, and Eevee will sure be very happy."

"Ok.." Pikachu said shyly. He was impressed how Raichu seemed to care about him, and wanted to make his friendship with her stronger. Even though she probably had already noted his shyness towards her, she kept trying to be close to him.

"Just let me go to the tickets" he said. Raichu smiled and said "Yeah, of course. See you later!".

She left, leaving him alone. Pikachu's mind was upside down right now. He had found everyone in the complex today, but as he went out to be sure he missed Raichu, she appeared right behind him, asking him to join.

His plan had failed, and he started wondering what to do next. He decided to buy the tickets, as he had to do it anyway. As he went to the kiosk, he noticed that the tickets for the kids movie were about to be sold, so he hurried up to get them.

Soon, he was back in the dining room, having launch with everyone who was going to the cinema. He bought the tickets, and waited for everyone to pick them.

"Thank you for inviting us" said Eevee, his tail wagging happily. He looked at the ticket in her paw and giggled, looking at the title of the movie.

"It's called "Mew", and I have no idea why we are going to watch it" he said, hiding his giggles. "It's ok. I think it's a great movie" a litten cub answered him.

Pikachu decided not to reply. He had found an excuse to keep himself from attending the movie.

"Well, the popcorn is free. You can have as much as you want" said Vixie, looking at him. The Vulpix cub had been to the cinema before, and her favourite part was the popcorn.

"Oh" said Pikachu, smiling at her. He got up and started to walk towards the door.

Vixie followed him and asked "where are you going?"

"I have a small errand to do" he said. "I will be back in a moment".

Vixie nodded and walked behind him.

Pikachu watched Vixie follow, and as soon as he noticed, told her to go play with Eevee and the others.

Pikachu really wanted to be as cheerful as he could, but his fear of Raichu was taking the best of him. After sitting down, he put his head in his paws and closed his eyes. He was so nervous about what would happen, he felt that he would freeze and die right then and there.

He had to get out of there. After all, he couldn't avoid this situation. Now Raichu was going to spend time with him and his friends.

"Pikachu?" he heard Espeon's voice say. He opened his eyes and found her behind him.

She had guessed his thoughts, and was smiling encouragingly at him. "Well done" she said. "You are trying to overcome your fears to help the others." Pikachu stopped thinking, to prevent Espeon digging deeper into his memories.

"What is going on? Why are you so afraid of Raichu?" Espeon asked.

"Why?" said Pikachu, confused. "She doesn't even know me." Trying to sound confident, he said "I'm just afraid that she would find out how I feel about her".

"But it's not natural for you to be afraid of Raichu" said Espeon, frowning.

Pikachu opened his eyes and saw Espeon's expression. Then, a thought struck him. She knew all about Raichu's feelings, didn't she? So, maybe she knew about her intentions.

"Espeon" he said, worried. "Do you think Raichu hates me?"

"Of course not!" Espeon said, jumping in front of Pikachu. "She isn't as bad as you think. You don't have to be afraid of her. I promise. We can have fun with her, and I can help you forget about your fear."

Pikachu didn't know what to say. All he could think of was his fear of Raichu. "Thank you" he said. He was shocked that Espeon knew about his fear, but she knew so well that she could only say this to try and comfort him.

"Come" Espeon said, and she grabbed his paw and helped him up. "We will go and find Raichu."

"I'm not afraid" said Pikachu to himself. "It's Raichu that should be afraid."

As they walked through the corridor, Espeon noticed Raichu sitting on a bench. "We will have a chat" Espeon said, and she walked over to Raichu and sat down next to her.

"Hi Raichu! how are you?" she said cheerfully.

"Hello Espeon" Raichu answered.

"How it's going?" asked Espeon.

"Fine, I was just waiting." she said.

"So do you know why Raichu is here?" asked Pikachu in a very afraid voice to Espeon.

"She is waiting for you" said Espeon telepatically.

"For me?" said Pikachu.

"Yes" said Espeon. Pikachu felt a very strange sensation. He didn't expect anyone caring for him, and not the other way round. But on top of that, a Raichu was the one who was caring for him now.

"Hi Raichu" said Pikachu quietly.

"Hello" said Raichu in a friendly voice. She tried to be as slow as possible, as she knew that Pikachu was startled easily by now.

"Are you ready for this evening plan?" Asked Raichu to Pikachu.

"Yes, I'm ready" said Pikachu, nodding. "Are you ready too?"

"Yes, I think so" said Raichu. "Do you want to go to the hall"

"Yes" said Pikachu. "We all better go there now. We can't risk getting late!"

As they both started walking to the hall, Espeon noticed the rest of the invited group already waiting where they all had agreed.

"They are here" she said telepathically. "They've come to go with you!"

Pikachu felt excited. Even though Raichu was still a drawback for him, the good feeling he had from knowing that someone cared for him overpowered that part of his mind. He couldn't help but feel happy.

"So" said Pikachu to Everyone. "Ready to have a movie?"

"Yeah!!" said everyone in unison. "Let's go!" cheerfully said pikachu.
