Next Saturday, Pikachu woke up in his 'new' room, and then, he did his usual morning routine of waiting for Raichu, who would wake up early as well. Once they greeted the new day to each other, they walked together down the street to the park, where they would play with each other for the day.

But today, it was an special day! The cubs were having their final battling tests! Eevee was so excited today! He would finally be able to improve his skills and advance into next level! After two months of training, all the cubs were ready to take the battle test!

As the chu duo was returning from their rutinal walk, the little Eevee finally saw them and went to them jumping in excitement. "Hi Pikachu!" he said excitedly, with a happy tone in his voice. "Do you know what I must do today?"

"Well" responded Pikachu "You must be about to do the tests, is it right?"

"Yeeeah" he said as he started to barrel roll on the floor again "I want to be the best!"

Shortly after they finished talking, Ms. Millers called all the staff to be explained the 'testing' ceremony. The cubs were being divided into two groups, and then would compete between them in different games. All the test were little games where the winner team would be rewarded points, and, in the end, the winner of that contest would be declared the top tier battlers and receive a prize!

Eevee was surprised. He really didn't expect to be in such competitive activity! Raichu, on the other hand, knew very well the futility of being in a group like that. So, she was happily surprised to see how Eevee was so excited about it!

Ms. Millers was continuing on with the introduction. "All right everyone, let's begin the test!" She finished before reuniting all the cubs in the playground.

After about half an hour, the ball game finished, with Eevee's team winning! Eevee was so happy that he jumped high in the air, and he proudly gave Raichu a hug. "You motivate me!" he said, with a proud tone in his voice.

"Wow!" said Raichu, surprised at her friend's behavior. "Well done!".

The second game consisted in some sort of maze where all the cubs had to run as fast as they could to be the first to escape!

Some of the cubs were very quick, while others took their time, trying to think of what they were going to do. All of the players tried to do their best but some cubs weren't able to finish in time, Eevee being one of them "Ouch!" he said in frustation, as the other team won the game.

The third game was a race, with each cub trying to reach the other side of the district first!

They all went through and Eevee was so happy as realized that he was a very speedy cub! He soon crossed the line first! he then stood on his hind legs and gave a high-five to Raichu, who was standing next to him. "You rock!" he said with a very positive tone.

The last game was the obstacle battle! In that particular obstacle course, the cubs were to stay on those lines as long as they could, while attacking the adversaries on the other side of the field.

A while later, the cubs had finished the course and Eevee managed to beat two of the adversaries. However, his team lost, as the last cub of the team stepped out the area.

After that, it was time for the prize giving ceremony, which surprisingly consisted in free pizza tickets for the winner team. Eevee, seeing that his team didn't win the race, was a little disappointed. But, he had a good time anyway.

"Blue team, you won!" Ms. Millers said with a big smile, as the team was all standing there together. "Congratulations to all the winners, who we gathered here today!" She called out a bunch of names and the cubs all cheered, and applauded.

Eevee looked up and saw Raichu and Pikachu, and he felt his mouth slightly opening up in shock. He shook his head and grabbed Raichu's hand, with a faint smile on his face "I had fun, nevermind" he said politely.

"Well, you certainly had a good time" said Raichu, giving him a pat on the shoulder. However, Pikachu didn't like the idea of being called a loser, and he wanted to teach Eevee that he was a great cub. "Eevee, it doesn't matter what other people say about you! What matters is what you think of yourself! Come on, let's go back to your room" he said, cheerfully.

Eevee looked a little surprised at what his partner had just said. "Ok!" he said, as he joined Raichu and Pikachu with a huge smile on his face.

Pikachu then felt a very strong pain running down his chest, making him feel as if he had just been attacked. "Ouch!" he said as he flicked his ears, making them stand up straight "I'm feeling quite a bit of pain right now". He turned to face Raichu, and noticed that Eevee started rubbing his hand over his chest.

Raichu gave a worried look towards Pikachu. "Pikachu, what's wrong with you? Are you sick?"

Pikachu quickly shook his head as he started to take a very slow step backwards "No. No, it's nothing serious" he said in a somewhat comforting tone.

Raichu looked back to her friend, worried about his health. However, she decided to wait for Eevee to go to his room to talk with him, and hopefully get to tell her what really happened.

But as she was still thinking, they bumped into Espeon, who was walking to her room. "Hey guys' How's going? I heard that the cubs had a competition today? Did you have fun, Eevee?"

"Yeah! It was fun" he replied as he rubbed against her. Espeon laughed a bit at the circumstance and then smiled slightly.

But Pikachu wasn't keen on the idea of the cubs competing to win something, as he thought that type of competition didn't help the cubs to befriend each other.

"But it's unfair that Eevee's team lost! They all did their best! No one deserved losing at all!" Pikachu added.

Eevee smiled a bit at Pikachu's comment.

As the trio continued walking and got to Eevee's room, they left him playing with Vixie and other cubs that were friendly to him. Afterwards, the chu duo returned to Pikachu's room.

As they entered, Pikachu kept talking to Raichu. "I didn't like the competition at all! Some cubs were very stressed and didn't had fun! Moreover, no cub should be told that they are worthless!"

Raichu looked at him and answered. "I don't think its too serious! Eevee didn't care about losing!"

"I know that Eevee didn't care, but I saw some other cubs who were ashammed of themselves! I don't want them to give up their dreams at such a young age!" He contined as Raichu nodded "This is an important matter. What if, for example, some cubs refuse battling because they arent encouraged?" He was terrified by the idea of battling, but he knew that Raichu gave importance to it.

"Hmmm... You're right! It's really important for them to be motivated!" She said and paused her speech. She had a great idea!

"What about giving the losing cubs what they gave to the others?" Raichu said after a while.

"I don't get it, Raichu" replied Pikachu.

"I guess that the cubs will be really motivated if we take them to the pizzeria where the other team is going!" She said with a cheerful smile.

"But... Are you crazy? They are over one-hundred cubs! It's too expensive! I sadly can't afford it". He said with a sad tone.

Then, Raichu smiled and whispered to him "Don't worry. I've got it covered". She knew that even before winning the World Championship, she had way more money than what would be possible to her to spend in her lifetime, so, she didn't have any worries about helping everyone without worrying about economic issues.

Then, Pikachu felt intense pain in his chest again. He already knew that it was caused by the sequels he carried, so he just went to the medicine box, and took the painkiller.

"Pikachu, is that medicine box yours?" Asked Raichu. "Yeah, it's mine. I need to take the medicine, but don't worry, I'm fine with it, see?" He said as he tried to convince her about the medicine, but had to act as best as he could to hide the pain in his chest, which was slowly increasing.

"That's good!" Said Raichu, as she saw that her friend was alright.

"What about having dinner? Said Pikachu as he started to walk to the dining room. "Count with me!" She said as she followed him close.

Soon, they were having dinner with Espeon, Sceptile, and Pidgeot. "Guys! My team absolutely killed it!" Said Sceptile as he looked at the others, as if to say that he was invincible.

"Well, Mr. Miracle, you only managed a very close victory!" Replied Pidgeot as she gave a stern look at him. "What about calming a little?" Said Pikachu, as he took a deep breath and sighed. He had to admit that he was very pleased with his ability to end conflicts.

After finishing dinner, everyone went back to their rooms, and Raichu and Pikachu did the same. Raichu watched his friend with concern as he walked way slower than before. "Are you really sure you are okay?" She asked again, but Pikachu just shrugged his shoulders, and repeated what he had already told her.

Soon, it was time to split up, however, Raichu wanted to stay with him a little longer, so she asked Pikachu to enter in his room.

As they entered, Pikachu sat in his nest, and Raichu sat on a chair, as both looked to each other. Then, they felt a strange sensation, as there was absolute silence everywhere. There was something in just staring at each other's eyes in silence that neither of them had really felt before.

"Raichu, I really want to tell you that you are a very generous Pokémon who wants to help all of us. I really feel very honored to have you in my life. Thank you". Raichu felt her own tears coming down her face as she was told these words.

Raichu nodded and then she responded with a warm smile "You are also a very loving Pokémon despite your fears. Thank you for pushing yourself forward so hard". She answered to Pikachu.

Pikachu couldn't still completely believe that a Raichu was able to be so kind, to the point that she hadn't made fun of his fears even though she didn't knew the sad truth behind them.

Raichu then climbed to his nest and hugged him tightly, feeling his warm fur pressing against hers.

Pikachu also felt it was the best feeling he could ever experience, and so, he just closed her eyes in joy as he kept hugging Raichu.

But after some minutes, the pain in his chest returned, this time way stronger than never before. He didn't want to disturb the moment, as he also thought that probably there wasn't better ailment to his sequels than the warmth and care that Raichu was giving him, so he remained in a calm state.

But, sadly, seconds later, he felt his world start shutting down. He looked in silence at Raichu, as he knew that this time, his hearth couldn't keep up its injuries anymore. Then, he focused again on Raichu's face, thinking about how beautiful she was. He had very bad luck that his previous life was cut short by one of them, but now, he finally felt in peace, as she did everything she could to make him happy again, showing him that not every Raichu were cruel. Just after finishing these last thoughts, Pikachu felt his heart definitely stop beating, and soon, he felt his world completely turn black.
