As they walked out toward the cinema, Pikachu felt very excited. Raichu walked by his side, like a loyal friend should.
"What are we going to see?" Asked Eevee.
"It's a film called Mew" said Pikachu. "It's a Mew being cared for by an evil woman."
Eevee didn't know what was going on, but he though that it was a good choice, as he thought that Pikachu knew a lot about films.
As they continued walking, Vixie and Eevee started to have a small conversation with each other.
"So where did you start to battle?" asked Eevee.
"I started in the Johto region" said Vixie.
"Which region is that?" asked Eevee.
"I'm not sure, I think it's a place that has a river in it and a small forest" replied Vixie. I was soon taken from that place, as someone called 'trainer' made me travel with her. I battled with her for a while, until she said that she wanted to take me to this place."
"But why did she want to take you here?" asked Eevee.
"She thought I would be happy here, because I had food, and a warm bed and everything. She said she wasn't successful enough to be able to care for us anymore."
"Why did you agree to it?"
"I knew she was a good person, so she wouldn't lie to anyone of us. Plus, if I didn't agree, she would probably had a harder time trying to feed all of us, so I said yes."
"Then what happened to her?" Eevee asked.
"I haven't seen her for a long time" replied Vixie. I don't know where she is now. Last thing I knew , she was trying to find someone who could lend her some food."
"Oh" said Eevee. "Maybe she has found a better place to live by now" as he smiled.
"But I'm very worried that she might not make it out" said Vixie.
Raichu had heard this last conversation from afar, and though that it was unfair for some trainers to give up their dreams because of some bad situation.
"We should keep walking" Pikachu said to Vixie, who had started to think for herself.
"All right" said Vixie "I had distracted myself, oops" She added, laughing a little.
As they walked, Pikachu felt a rather painful sensation on his foot, but he tried to ignore it. It wasn't the time to worry about something as small as that, having in count that they had the exact time to reach to the cinema.
As soon as they reached the cinema, everyone was impressed by the big building, which a classical roman or greek temple. The building was made out of marble, which made it look very elegant.
They walked up to the box office, and payed the money in cash. They took the tickets that they bought, and entered the cinema.
As they walked in, they saw the whole cinema was filled with people and pokemon of all ages and race, all had a wide smile on their face.
"Wow" Eevee said, amazed by the scenery. He was clearly impressed by the immensity of the cinema.
"They are all going to watch Mew?" asked Eevee.
Espeon heard him and replied "Yes Eevee. This cinema is sure a popular place" as she turned to look at him.
"We have to sit down here" said Pikachu.
The cubs looked around, but coudn't see the numbers on the tickets
"What about here?" said Eevee.
"I don't know" Replied Vixie.
But the confusion was short-lived as they felt a force that pushed them to a seat at the left side of the screen.
As soon as they sat down, Espeon sat by their side. She didn't need any psychic powers as her cat sight allowed her to see in the dark. But it would suffice for the cubs to start admiring her.
They looked around, and saw the cinema was filling up fast. Soon, the lights went out and the film started.
As they watched the film, Eevee was surprised to watch a Mew fight some powerful pokemon, trying to break free from an evil woman, who seemed to be a queen herself, everything in the same room they were sitting!
"So- You like it?" said Vixie.
"Yes" Eevee replied.
Eevee and Vixie were enjoying the film, but they couldn't help to spy on the others to see what they were doing.
Espeon saw the movie with a neutral expression in her face. "How could such an intelligent pokémon not to be surprised to see a legendary pokemon, a queen and such powerful heroes just in front of her!"
Pidgeot also listened to the movie, but her childish attitude never let her stop caring about the characters, even though it was just a movie. "Pidgeot at least seems to be very impressed. So strange" thought Eevee, clearly confused, as he hadn't seen a movie before. Eevee turned to look at Pikachu, but as he looked at him, he saw a fear expression on his face, clearly afraid of the movie.
"Amazing" said Vixie. "I really liked the ending. "
"Espeon? Pidgeot?" said Eevee. "Can you please explain to me what was going on there?" he asked them.
"Yes" said Espeon. "In a film, they usually include all of the main heroes in the end, so the audience is more satisfied."
"But why did such powerful pokemon come here?"
Espeon started to process his words, and soon started to burst in laughter.
"The people in the film aren't real!" Espeon shouted.
"What do you mean?" asked Eevee.
"The people in the movie weren't in that room when we were watching the movie!" laughed Vixie.
Espeon started to laugh more, and explained to the cubs what was going on. Once Eevee understood that the movie wasn't a real story, he felt a bit depressed, but also excited to come again someday to see another movie.
But Pikachu had a very bad experience with the film. Of course that Pikachu knew it was a movie, but he couldn't stand pokemon battles . "What happened?" asked Eevee. " You really were scared?"
Pikachu stared at Eevee, his face was expressionless. "I wasn't feeling well, thats all."
Eevee didn't understand. "I thought you would like the movie."
"But I liked it!" he replied.
Eevee sighed. "You can't expect that from someone who doesn't like battles." thought Pikachu.
Then, he felt a pat on his back, and turned to see Raichu. "How was the movie? Did you like it?" asked Raichu.
"Sure." said Eevee. "But I want Pikachu to tell us why he didn't like it."
Raichu then sighed, and told the cubs to go to play somewhere else. "Eevee, you and Vixie can do whatever you like, but stay together OK?" he said.
"All right!" said Eevee, and they both started playing tag.
"Pikachu, what happened?" Asked Raichu.
"I'm sorry, but I don't understand your question" replied Pikachu in a robotic-like fashion.
"Why didn't you enjoy the movie?" asked Raichu as she stared curiously at him.
Pikachu started to look at Raichu like he was in a trial. "Why did you like the movie then?" Pikachu said, trying to change the conversation's direction as quickly as he could. As Raichu though for an answer, Pikachu said loudly "Who wants to have dinner at a restaurant?!!"
Raichu almost fell to the ground by the sudden impulse. "ME, ME!!!" heard Pikachu, relieved as Raichu would forget the previous conversation. He knew that the cubs would be eager to visit a restaurant after going to the cinema. However, he was the one who was shocked to observe that Pidgeot was flapping her wings happily and jumping in joy.
"Pidgeot, It's supposed to be the cubs the ones that are happy to have dinner outside" said Raichu.
Pikachu started to laugh. "Yeah, well, Pidgeot just likes to express very heartfully her feelings, isn't it true?"
Pikachu laughed, as Pidgeot looked at them with an edgy look. "Yes" replied Pidgeot. "But only for a little bit..."
Then, Espeon started to giggle a little. "OK, we will go get some food. But don't tell the other cubs."
"We won't" said Pikachu.
"It's time to go" said Pidgeot.
Pikachu then saw Sceptile walking away.
"Hey, Sceptile!" he shouted.
"Hey" replied Sceptile.
"Where are you going?" asked Pikachu.
"I am going back home to train" said Sceptile.
Pikachu was surprised. "Train? Seriously?"
"I've been wanting to train so badly." Sceptile answered.
"Well, I'm also going to watch over Hitmonchan and Carracosta, who left long ago, even though any of you noticed. Those two can't be left alone, as they aren't exactly best friends... Well, see ya later!" Said Sceptile as he left. "Oh! And don't forget to order a bucket of birdseed for our little Pidgey!" he said as he went off.
"I'M NOT A LITTLE PIDGEY!!! YOU IDIOT!!!!" yelled Pidgeot at him.
Espeon tried to calm her down "Pidgeot, is it OK to speak like that to the others?"
"I'm sorry" said Pidgeot in a sad voice.
"Don't do it again. You're not a Pidgey anymore, so try to act a little more relaxed, like me, OK?"
Pidgeot then nodded a little, and did a little pose. "Now, it's time to go to the restaurant!"
"OK, lets go!" said Pikachu.
Everyone started to walk behind Pikachu, as Pidgeot shouted "I'm hungry, so hurry up! I'm not much of a patient bird!" She said as she was feeling hungry.
"Then, why don't you fly us to the pizzeria we're heading to?"
"That is a great idea! But it would be more comfortable if *someone* lost a little weight" she said happily.
Eevee started to make fun of Pikachu, but then, he quickly realized that Pikachu was a bit embarrassed.
"Stop it!" he shouted at Eevee, and started to walk faster. "You want to lose weight?" asked Vixie laughing too.
"Please, let's try to calm ourselves a bit" Raichu said, as she tried to soothe Pikachu.
Finally, they arrived at the pizzeria, and as soon as they entered, everyone felt like heaven as the smell of freshly cooked pizza entered their nostrils.
"Welcome to the best pizzeria in town" said the chef.
Eevee, Vixie and Espeon tried to spot the best place, but as they couldn't decide, they sat down in the nearest table to the kitchen.
Meanwhile, Raichu and Pikachu were told to make the order.
"Hey Pikachu, do you know what to order?"
"I... I... will order the cheese one" said Pikachu in a very low tone. Raichu knew that Pikachu was a bit shy when she was around, so she decided to help him by ordering the menu, because Pikachu wasn't really paying attention, as he was thinking how to relax a bit with Raichu by his side.
"Well, I'll take that and a large pizza with pepperoni, please!" exclaimed Raichu. "And my friend will take a cheese pizza too."
"Oh! And three of fries for the kids!". As Raichu finished ordering, she took Pikachu to the table where the other were sitting. "Now let's take a seat, and relax", but Pikachu, before heading off with Raichu, tried to pay, but she kindly asked him not to do that. "It's on the house, Pikachu", she smiled.
Pikachu was astonished as he had just witnessed such kind acts from a Raichu no less.
"That is wonderful, Raichu" he said, while he was trying to relax. "But it isn't necessary to pay."
"Yes, it is" said Raichu. "It's also the job of a good pokemon to do good deeds for the ones she cares about."
Raichu was such a sweetheart to him, and that just made him to start felling rather bad, as he felt he had been such a jerk for the past weeks.
"Hey, you two! Wanna play a game?" asked Espeon, as she tried to make them sit on the table once at all.
"As the pizza is only a few more minutes away, let's play some cards for a bit." Vixie said.
"Fine", said Espeon, and soon, they were all having a good time, until the dinner was served.
As soon as they finished eating, they decided to go back home, as it was really late already. The cubs were very amused by their trip and couldn't help but smile.
Not much later, they got the bus back to the residential district, and arrived to the orphanage. Pikachu was very satisfied as he saw everyone so happy , and was even more surprised by the Raichu, who was very polite with him, and he even seemed to calm down more with Raichu by his side.
As everyone dispersed to their rooms, Pikachu felt another sharp pain, this time in the stomach. It was so intense that made him flinch. He then hurried up to his room, as he tried to fall asleep, trying to forget the pain caused by what happened that day. Once he took a painkiller, he was slowly able to fall asleep.
However, there was a pokémon who saw Pikachu suffer this strong pain, and run to his room. This time, Raichu would leave with a bittersweet sensation, after witnessing Pikachu's fragile health.
