It was a warm autumn evening in Kanto. The birds playfully chirped, flying over the trees, as a warm breeze blew all across the place.

A group of people walked along the city, chatting happily as they walked to one of the city's biggest parks, where lots of people and pokémon enjoyed their sunday off.

As it was to be expected, the kids played happily with the pokémon as the adults entertained themselves with a variety of activities.

One of the pokémon that was at that place was a Pikachu, who didn't have as much energy as the baby pokémon who ran without rest here and there, so he preferred to enjoy the peaceful moment unfold from the comfortable branch he was sitting on. He was pleased to witness the harmony with which humans and pokémon lived together, and the respect everyone had for the "independent pokémon", who were trainerless pokémon who lived a regular life at the city, as same as humans did.

As the last minutes of daylight came to an end, he decided to come down from his branch, and return to the place he lived, which was quite a distance away.

As soon as he reached to the "Residential district", where the vast majority of the inhabitants lived, he spotted the place where he was heading to.

It was a three-story four building complex of a considerable size, surrounded by a small fence which delimited it's domains from the rest of the neigbourhood. It was a good place to be, even if it wasn 't particularly his private home. Said place was inhabited by a large group of pokémon, all of whom worked together, as well as other pokémon visitors who stayed for a while. On top of that, from time to time, this building was also occupied by some people working in it.

Upon walking from the main entrance to the dining hall, Pikachu was suddenly met with a large group of pokémon who were busy and talking, while enjoying a meal. They were gathered around different tables, while others were already finished, entertaining each other in some friendly competitions, or simply having a pleasant conversation.

Pikachu's eyes widened, thinking that he might have arrived a bit late, but was pleasantly surprised to find that the cooking group was still there, as he was able to hear their chatter about the various dishes that they made, as well as a few other things as well .

Without time to waste, Pikachu quickly darted inside, to check the area where the order system was located. This time, Pikachu was just in time to get a hold of an standard menu. The only dish that he ordered from said menu was a "Salad", which consisted of two small cups of various vegetables and a small bowl of mixed berries, served with water, and as soon as he finished the order, quickly took a seat.

Just as the meal was cooked, a large, smiling Kangaskhan entered the area, handing over a tray to Pikachu , who quickly grabbed it and thanked her for her assistance. "It looks like you arrived just in time. How are you, my dear ?" Kangaskhan asked, in her usual, motherly tone. "Just fine, thank you for waiting for me !" said Pikachu as he took a few bites of his salad , enjoying the taste of the food. "Guess we were a bit hungry, huh?" asked Kangaskhan, smiling at him, as it was obvious that she enjoyed making him feel good . "Yeah, I guess you are right.I lost track of time in that place... Oh, and you were really nice to me. Thank you very much." said Pikachu with a grateful smile. "You're welcome!" said Kangaskhan as she smiled and left the place, letting Pikachu off to continue his meal.

A while later, when he finished his meal, took the empty plates and placed them on the service area. Now that his duties were done , Pikachu left the large place and started to make his way back to his room, as he realised how late it was already. Pikachu steadily walked through the corridors, while being as silent as possible, to avoid disturbing others, as most of the residents were already in their rooms, resting after a long day's work.

He made at last his way to his room, where he was greeted by the sight of his small, but comfortable space, filled with the things that made him happy, such as his favourite books or photos, as well as other assorted objects. At the opposite end of his room, a small round bed (Even though he preferred to refer to it as a "nest") stood near the window. At one corner there was also a small table with a lamp, useful when he wished to read something at night-time.

He turned around, as he proceeded to close the door in front of him, before moving some blankets off the nest, in order to make a larger space for him to lay down. As he did so, a strong feeling of comfort started to come over him, as he snuggled in his nest, the moonlight bathing his small frame . He closed his eyes, and as he did so, quickly fell asleep.

The next day, pikachu woke up as he heard the ringing of his alarm clock. He looked out the window, and admired the view that the new sunny day was bringing him. At last, he decided to get out of the room, and onto the patio, where he could enjoy the fresh air and the sunshine, as his duty couldn't start to be done yet.

Meanwhile, Pikachu decided to take a walk around the complex. He went over to the small, "community room", where he was greeted by some of his fellows. At that very moment, there were an Espeon, an Sceptile, and a Pidgeot.

Hey, Pikachu! How's it going, buddy?!" asked the Espeon, smiling at the young male, as he made his way into the room. "I'm doing fine, thanks, Espeon!" said Pikachu, making his way over to a small table with some assorted goods on it." I wanted to be sure to be in time to take breakfast!" Said Pikachu with a smile, as he happily hopped onto the chair.

"Oh, I see. Well, it looks like we have a full table this morning. Go ahead and come and get some, matey!" said the Sceptile, as he handed a tray with a few fruits on it to the yellow colored Pokémon, who happily took a piece from it.

"Thanks!" Replied pikachu, as he took a cup of coffee from the table and mixed it with some milk, "It's good to have this extra caffeine!" he added with a happy tone. Pikachu then continued taking his breakfast, as everyone started thinking of what they should do today. After a little while, one of them came up with an idea: "I was thinking that we should go over to the city's famous Poke Mart, and see if we could get some potions, as we are running short of them" said the Pidgeot.

"That sounds great!" said the Sceptile, with an obvious tone of sarcasm. "Wouldn't you mind if you take charge of this, pidgeot? At least, you can fly all the way there!" said the Espeon. The Pidgeot looked around the area, being unable to come with an excuse, as Espeon's reasoning was quite logic. Damn psychics.

"I should be going because I must start the daily exercise routine." Pikachu said before leaving the room " Thank you for the company, guys!".

"Well, that's good a reason as any!" said Sceptile. "Remember to take your vitamins and not to overdo yourself too much, ok ?" added the Pidgeot.

"Sure thing." Replied Pikachu, as he got up to leave the room.

The sun had already risen, and it was about time for the group to get ready, so, before long, everyone was busy with their own business.

As Pikachu made his way out of the complex and down the road, he noticed that he still had time to go for a long stroll, so He decided that he should take the scenic route, as the road he was on was rather long and winding, but it would be more relaxing than the boring midday city center.

As Pikachu's walk took him through the beach, he observed some children playing Frisbee. He noticed also some pokemon watching curiously, as if they were considering taking it on for their own.

"Hey it's a Pikachu!" said a cheerful voice.

"What's up, little fellow?" replied Pikachu to the kid with a smile on his face.

"I've got an idea for you: We want to start our own Frisbee competition. But we need someone to throw the Frisbee, as we want to compete to see who is the best. Do you think you could do it? Just for fun?" said the kid.

"Sure!" said Pikachu. Pikachu liked that sport, so he started walking over to the group of kids.

"Hey! Thanks!" said the kid with a grin, "I was afraid that the competition turned a bit unfair. Go ahead and start the Frisbee game!"

"Ok! Get set up, guys!" The kids were able to get set up quickly, and before long, the Frisbee was flying through the air, as the first round started.

While the Frisbee was in the air, the group of kids sprinted, as if they were competing for the title of 'fastest frisbee catcher'.

After a while, one of the tallest kids was the first one to get a catch. He then returned the Frisbee to Pikachu, who then, proceeded to throw it again. After a good number of throws, Pikachu started to get a little tired, so he decided to end the competition, and as soon as the kids agreed, he recounted the wins and announced the winner.

As the kids thanked Pikachu for his attention, he continued his walk.

Some time afterwards, the trip, he passed through the "Battling district", which, despite it's name, was also a residential district. It was one of the nicer ones, because it contained some battling arenas and the city gym, as well as a lot of hostals for trainers who were in town.

He then continued his way to the "Library district", where the university was located. It was strange that the university would be located in the same area as the military complex was before. As a city that values knowledge, and loathes the conflict, it was somewhat surprising to him that the government would invest a lot of time and money in the past into the military complex, leaving the inhabitants without an adequate place to learn. He liked to walk around the university area, as it was also a peaceful and quiet place, very different than the city center, where students of all classes and species shared a part of their lives in common.

Finally, deciding that it was time to return to his home, he headed to the bus station, so he reached there just in time for dinner.

As he walked inside the dining room, he noticed that the place was busier than usual, so he just sat down at his regular table and began to fill the order sheet.

"Welcome back, Pikachu!" said the waitress, who always appeared to be having a great day.

"Oh hi! So, today what would you recomend me to have?" he replied. He wasn't the best pokémon in taking decisions, so he let the Kangaskhan to decide what he would have today.

"If I were you, I would undoubtedly choose the trout, the pizza and the risotto. They're all great dishes here".

"So are they! I'll take that! And, you know what, if you didn't mind, I'd like a berry bowl as well", he added with a smile.

After he checked in his order, he returned his sight to the table area, where he did spot an empty chair. Grabbing the chair, he sat down, as he shortly was brought his meal. He quickly ate, as he had no idea what he had chosen, but was soon pleased with the random choice.

As he put his plate on the table, he gazed to the clock on the wall, and immediately prepared himself to start his duties, as classes were finishing in about half an hour. After that, he would have to work until the evening, so he concentrated to enjoy his last minutes of the holiday as best as he could.

As the bell rang, Pikachu knew that he had to start soon, so he headed off to the "visitors" rooms as he was ready to start.
