"Hey mom! Guess what!" Cameron said as closed the door behind him.

"What?" Came a voice from inside.

"I found a Pikachu and we became close friends! And he let me catch him!" He shouted. "Can I keep him?"

"That's nice that you're advancing in your quest to become a Pokemon Master, but I'm afraid you're too young to be able to take care of it. It's a big responsibility. Those things don't like to go in their Pokeballs, so you'll have to watch over him all the time." She said. "Plus we'd need to buy supplies like a litter box and stuff, and we just don't have that." She shouted.

"But moooooommmm!" Cameron whined. "We HAVE to keep him! He's my first real fighting Pokemon!"

"I already told you, the answer is no." She said as she walked out into the hallway we were in. "We can't afford to keep a Pikachu in the house." She said. "If you want to keep it you'll have to keep it in a Pokeball."

"No way, he won't go in there." Cameron said.

"Then the answer is no." she said. "You'll have to let it go and get another one when you're a bit older and more responsible." She said.

"But I'm fourteen!" Cameron whined. "You only have to be ten!"

"But you're also not very responsible."

"Are too!" Cameron argued. "Come on! They all used to pick on me until I befriended him! Now everyone likes me!" He said. "Please don't make me let him go!"

"I'm sorry, but we can't have him here." She sighed. "We just can't..."

Cameron sighed as he took off his bag and placed it down, a tear in his eye as he lifted me up.

"I'm sorry Dallas..." He said as he hugged me tightly. "I can't keep you... My mom's not going to let me..."

"Wait, what?" She said as she walked over and looked down at us. "Dallas as in... The Dallas that took out Team Onyx all by himself?"

"Apparently..." I said as I nodded. "I don't recall doing that though..."

"Yeah, that kid Brandon that picks on me tried to battle me and Dallas ripped his Charmander in half with one hit! He's so powerful... I don't want to let him go!"

"Whoa whoa... So that's really true? That this Pikachu... Is supposedly the strongest Pokemon in the world?" She asked.

"Well I put him on the registration pad and it said he was already registered, and that it couldn't measure his level because it was too high. It also said he was an electric and psychic type. And I thought the pad thingy was broken so I walked away. He's registered to me with the Pokeball though.

"Hold on a second... You're saying you... CAUGHT... The most powerful Pokemon in the world?" She asked.

"Well yeah... I was crying because no one cared about me and I befriended him. And he agreed to come along with me." Cameron said.

"Well why didn't you say that!" She said as she stood up. "A Pokemon like Dallas here is surely welcome into the house!"

"What..." Cameron asked, frowning.

"You can keep him. I didn't know you were talking about Dallas..." She said, smiling. "That makes us the most powerful family in the world... And a bunch of other stuff." She said. "Besides, he can look after himself, and he knows what's right and wrong... I think... I don't know much about him, all I know is that he lives practically on the other side of the world, so I don't know how he got here, but... Sure it's fine." She sighed.

"Ohhhhhh yay!" Cameron squealed as he hugged me tightly. "You're so awesome!"

"But..." his mom said as she turned around. "You're going to have to clean up after him if he makes a mess." She said. "But I heard Pikachu are really neat Pokemon... So maybe he can help you clean your room or something." She said.

"Wow..." I said, sighing. "Just a minute ago she didn't want me, until she realized I was "Dallas." What the hell makes me to special anyway? So what if I can hit hard..." I said.

"Your father will be home soon. He'd love to see what you caught." She laughed as she walked away.

"Well that went rather oddly..." Cameron said as he looked down at me. "Wanna go see my room?"

"Sure." I said, nodding. "What exactly is your room?"

Cameron laughed as he picked me up and ran off, going up the stairs and down a little hallway, before turning and walking into a room.

"Holy hell." I said as I hopped down out of his arms. "You expect me to sleep here?"

"I know it's a bit messy, but... Here's my room." Cameron laughed. "This is where I sleep..."

"I'm sleeping up here." I said as I hopped up onto his bed and lay down on my back. "Ugh..."

"I know you don't like messes, so um... Maybe we could work together and clean it... Even though you don't know where things go..." He said, smiling.

"I'm not touching it." I said, laughing. "That's way too much of a mess for me. Yes, it annoys the crap out of me, but I don't feel like getting MYSELF messy while cleaning YOUR room." I said. "Besides, it's yours so you should do it." I said.

"Yeah, um... When dad gets back that'll be the perfect time to test out that translator thingy he's working on." Cameron laughed.

"Oh yeah, that's right... Humans can't understand me..." I sighed. "Why do I bother taking then..."

"I know it's frustrating when no one knows what you're saying, but that won't be the case for long." Cameron laughed."

"But seriously... Clean this up..." I said as I stood up, pointing to the floor.

"You wanna go down?" He asked. "Well why not just hop down?"

"NO!" I squealed as I jumped backwards. "I do NOT want to go back there!"

"What's wrong?" He asked as he picked me up. "You hungry or something?"

"That's not what I meant..." I said, sighing as I looked down.

"But yeah, sure feed me." I said as I looked up at him, nodding.

"Wait, is it yes or no?" He asked, frowning.

"Fooooood!" I said as I raised both of my paws, laughing. "Nom nom nom!"

"Chuuuuu! Pikapikapika!" He said, giggling. "You're funny!"

"That's sooo not what I said..." I sighed as I placed my right paw over my forehead.

Why is it that I can understand them, and I'm smart enough to respond with real words, but they're not smart enough to hear me correctly?"

"Cameron, your father wants to see you!" shouted that voice, one I recognized as that human that met us when we came in, and tried to shoo me out.

That wasn't very nice...

"Coming!" Cameron yelled, smiling as I patted my head. "Wait here." He said as he dashed out of the room.

"Yeah, I'm going to wait here in this dirty nasty... Place..." I said as I hopped down off of the bed, hopping over the junk on the floor and into the hallway, following Cameron into the kitchen.

"Cameron, what happened at school today?" the man said in a stern tone.

I figured that he was angry, so I'd might as well wait here out of sight for a while...

"What happened?" Cameron asked.

"What do you mean what happened? I got a call from Brandon's parents saying you murdered his Charmander, and then picked on Brandon. What's that all about?"

"Okay hold on a second." Cameron laughed. "I did NOTHING! HE was picking on ME, as usual, and he picked a fight, which turned into a Pokemon battle, and he kept saying that Dallas was a rat and he was puny and stuff and Dallas got really mad and whacked his Charmander across the room with iron tail and it smacked into Brandon and... And they both flew across the room and into the mats and they bounced and slid to the other side and he stood up and his Charmander was cut in half and I had little to do with it. And he came over and continued to bully me and Dallas so Dallas pushed him over and screamed a few things in his face with sparks coming off of his cheeks and Brandon got really scared so he just lay there on the floor and then I left." He said. "Dallas did it. I did nothing! I'm just his best friend, and he was protecting me."

"Dallas did it huh..." The man said, laughing. "Yeah right. Dallas doesn't exist. People made him up because they have nothing better to do. It's a scam. They preach to the town that there's an overpowered Pikachu out there that can take out whole teams of crooks all by himself and stuff, yeah right. If you ask me, they made it up, and it's just going to turn into some comic book. Superchu or something." He said. "So, why'd you kill his Charmander?" he asked.

"I didn't do it..." He said, sighing. "Are you serious right now? You said yourself you always wanted to meet Dallas." He said.

"That was until I realized he wasn't real." the man said. "Sure I'm a Pokemon Scientist, and yeah, the story about Dallas got the best of me when I heard it for the first time. But now that I think about it, something like that doesn't exist."

"Well what if I told you it did?" Cameron said.

"But it doesn't. Stop changing the subject, you killed a Pokemon and you're going to be punished." He said.

Is he serious right now?

"Okay, why is everyone saying that I took out a team of humans? I never did that!" I said as I walked out into the kitchen, hopping up onto the counter. "If I went with... I forgot her name... Wherever this human place is and killed them all I think I'd freaking remember it!" I yelled as I grabbed my ears and pulled on them. "Ugh!"

"Look, you made him angry." Cameron sighed. "You don't ever want to make him angry!"

"Cameron what the FUCK!" The man yelled as he took a step toward me. "Are you kidding me right now?"

"Does he look like he's kidding?" Cameron asked.

How the hell do they always know I'm me and not some other Pikachu anyway?

"He's got the darker brown stripes... And the dark red electric pouches..." He said as he looked me over. "Okay I don't buy this for one moment." He said. "You took a normal Pikachu and colored on it or something to make it look like Dallas and-"

"Dad, it's Dallas." Cameron said as he pulled a little card out of his pocket. "I went to register him and the Pokeypad gave me this." he said as he handed his father the card.

"Impossible..." He mumbled as he looked at the card, then at me. "He can be registered... More than once?"

"See, NOW you believe it." Cameron said as he rolled his eyes.

"What the heck is so amazing about me..." I sighed. "So WHAT if I'm powerful..." I said as I looked up at the man.

"I should probably get that translator perfected!" the man said as he gave the card back to Cameron. "Be back in a few!"

"So all it takes is you to come out here and everything's all fine all of a sudden... How do you keep doing that?" Cameron laughed as he looked at me.

"Don't ask me, I don't have a clue." I said as I shrugged.

"Well..." Cameron said as he smiled at me. "Your presence seems to trigger a lot of good things for me... I'm so glad I found you!" He said as he picked me up, hugging me.

"Well I'm glad I found you too. I'm glad I could help... However I'm doing it..." I said, laughing as I hugged him back.

"Okay put this on." The man said as he came running into the room with something small and black in his hand.

"Me?" I asked as I pointed at myself.

"Yeah." He said as he placed it on the counter in front of me.

"What the heck am I supposed to do with this?" I asked as I picked it up.

"Um... Wait no, Cameron has to put it on." He said as he snatched it away from me, laughing as he gave it to Cameron.

"Why can't you do it?" Cameron asked.

"Well I guess I could try..." He said.

"Dad you're acting weird." Cameron said as he made a little circle in the air with his finger.

"I'm not being weird, I'm just... Super excited that I might be able to talk with the legendary Dallas!" He said as he fiddled with the little black thing in his hand.

"You're crazy." I said as I looked at Cameron.

"He says he's hungry." Cameron said.

"No I didn't..." I said as I shook my head no. "What are you talking about? You're crazy too!"

"No I don't want fish." Cameron said. "I want cookies."

"Ugh..." I said as I facepalmed, sighing as I looked up at him.

"Just... Stop talking..." I said as I looked down. "Just... Stop..."

"He says he wants milk." Cameron said.

"Ohhhh Arceus..." I said as I looked up, laughing. "Are you kidding me right now?"

"Cameron he's not saying any of that." the man laughed. "Stop it you're annoying him."

"I'm just joking!" Cameron laughed.

"Ugh..." The man said as he shoved the little black thing in his ear, sighing as he looked at me.

"Dad that thing never works... You said so yourself, it's useless because no one ever needs to know what their Pokem-"

"Well I was wrong. The things Pokemon say are important." He said. "People need to be able to communicate with their companions."

"No shit!" I yelled. "Do you know how long I've been waiting for someone to say that!? Why the hell would I randomly say I wanted fish? I hate how people sit there and try to guess what you're trying to say! They're always so off and it's so annoying!" I said as I grabbed my ears. "Ugh! Just... Stop! Stop trying to guess what I'm saying, stop trying to help me get places! I'm perfectly fine! I'm capable of finding fish, or a bathroom or whatever on my own! I can jump, I can run, I can fight. I don't need humans climbing all over me while I play charades just to figure out that I need some freaking food! I know, I need the food, and I don't really know where humans keep it, or how to get it, but seriously. When I do the same thing every freaking day at the same freaking time, they should KNOW that I want FOOD! I do the same thing every single day, and every single day they're all like "Oh, what do you want? Do you want this? Or maybe this? Oh no, you want to eat? Oh okay! Let me get that for you!" And to tell the truth I don't like it." I said as I looked down. "It's annoying and it wastes so much time... But then if I go ahead and grab what I want, I'm called "Bad!" And they freaking push me away or something. I don't appreciate being pushed around. That's one... You know what? I'm just going to stop talking. You two don't know what I'm saying anyway..." I sighed as I hopped down off of the counter. "Ugh..."

Well at least that's how it would be if I lived in a human place like this. I'm sure I got the description down pretty well.

"What... Was that..." Cameron said, frowning. "I'm sorry if I upset you Dallas..."

"No, it's not you..." I said as I waved my paw at him. "I just need some time alone... Everything is so confusing..."

"Dallas..." The man said as he walked over to me, smiling as he knelt down. "Come on, I can help you..."

"Help me with what? What could you possibly do for me?" I asked.

"Well for one, I can solve this Pokemon to human communication issue." He said as he grinned.

"Go ahead and do that." I said, sighing. "That's not the only thing that's bothering me..."

"Well what else is bothering you?" He asked.

"The fact tha- Wait what the hell?" I asked as I looked up at him, frowning as I turned around. "How are you...?"

"Now you realize?" He laughed as he stood up. "A while back I created an ear piece that translates Pokemon language. I showed everyone and they all laughed at me. Told me there was no reason for a human to talk to their Pokemon. Over the years I just accepted it and put it away." He said.

"I don't care about the story." I said, laughing. "Finally, someone who understands!"

"I'm talking to the most powerful Pokemon in the world..." He said as he looked up. "Oooooh this is wonderful..."

"Aaaaand now you're going to act weird too... Great... Every human I see makes a big deal out of my presence. WHY!" I said as I threw my paws into the air. "I'm just me!"

"Just you? Are you kidding me?" He laughed. "YOU are very special!" He said.

"Heeeey I wanna talk to him too!" Cameron said.

"Wait your turn." The man laughed. "Okay, um... Well first thing's first, we have to take you to the Pokemon Center and get you properly registered." He said as he reached down to pick me up.

"Ugh... I don't even care anymore." I said. "As long as I don't have to stay in that huge mess over there..."

"He says your room is messy and he doesn't like it." The man said to Cameron, laughing.

"Awwww I knew it..." Cameron whined. "Fine I'll clean it... Sometime..."

"I'm sleeping somewhere else." I said as I looked around. "I'll find somewhere later..."

"He says he's going to sleep somewhere else for now." the man said. "Oh, by the way, my name is Kevin." He said as he picked me up.

"Hi Kevin" I said, smiling. "I'm... Well I don't even have to say it." I said.

"Let's go." He said as he motioned for Kevin to come. "We've got a hero to register!"

"Well I thought I already did..." he said as he followed us out, frowning.

"Not really." The man said, laughing.

"Well I registered him with the Pokeball..." Cameron said.

"Yeah but you need to... Ah I'll show you when you get there." he said, laughing as he opened the door of his car, placing me inside. I frowned as I looked around, then back at the man, who smiled.

"Just go to the other side." He said, laughing.

I shrugged as I hopped over into the passenger seat, and Kevin and Cameron got inside. I ignored the sound of the car as he turned it on, because I knew that they all made that noise, and I just sat down in the seat, sighing as I looked out the window.

We were going much faster than Cameron went on his two wheel thing. Maybe we were going faster because we were on a four wheel thing... And four wheels were better than two...

As I thought bout this, I was surprised at how fast we'd gotten to the Pokemon Center. We pulled into the parking lot, and I just looked at Kevin, frowning.

"What the hell, that was fast..." I said, laughing. "Wow these things are fast..."

"I wasn't even going nearly as fast as these can go." Kevin laughed. "Okay let's go." He said as he pulled the keys out and got out of the car. I hopped over to the other side and hopped out of his doorway, before leaping onto his back and climbing up onto his shoulder, smiling as I stood in his hood and leaned on his shoulder.

"Ehhhh..." He said as he closed the car door.

"I like it here." I said as I pointed to the Pokemon Center. "Go innnnn!"

As we walked into the Pokemon Center, I once again felt that blast of cool air, and I sighed happily. It felt so good on my hot fur...

"Okay there's the pad..." Cameron said as he pointed to it.

"I already did this..." I sighed.

"Yeah but we have to do it properly." Kevin said.

"Whatever." I said. "Not like I have anything better to do..."

"So true." Kevin said as he placed me on the pad.

"What's this even do..." I said as I looked down at the mat I was on, frowning as I dragged my right paw over it.

"It tells me all about you." Kevin said as he smiled, pushing a button on it.

As he pushed the button, I heard that weird humming noise again, and a white bar of light moved from left to right underneath me. I frowned as I looked around the room, Kevin frowning as he looked down at the screen.

"Well you're Dallas alright..." He said as he picked me up, looking me over. "So you know like, millions of moves and your level is unreadable..." He said as he looked me in the eye. "You're like, the best Pokemon a trainer could have..."

"A top tier Pokemon!" Cameron laughed.

"Yup." Kevin said as he placed me down on the floor. "Strong enough to pick up a human I hear." He said.

"I don't freaking know." I said, shrugging.

"Well If I stepped on you you wouldn't get hurt." He said. "I mean, it's like you have the strength of a human, and the power of a Pokemon..." He laughed.

"There are strong Pokemon too." Cameron said.

"Ah, true." Kevin laughed. "Whatever."

While they were busy talking about me, I couldn't help but overhear someone in the distance mention a certain name... A name that... I think the human in the school said, and a few others... They said she was my mate, but I don't recall it at all...

Upon hearing the name Electra, I became curious, and wandered off to the front desk. Nurse Joy was on the phone, talking to someone else about Electra. I stood underneath the little counter and listened.

Surely if this Electra was my mate I would have remembered her... I don't even remember her name, so how could I remember HER?"

"That's right. You sold her a few month ago was it?" Nurse Joy said.

"Yes, I know about the whole Team Onyx thing. But what I'm trying to say is she's HERE." Nurse Joy said. "I went to withdraw a trainer's Pokemon from the PC and her ball popped out."

What the heck?

"Yes, I know. She was flown to practically the other side of the world. FLOWN with a plane! I don't know why someone would send her here in the PC." Nurse Joy said.

Who is she talking to?

"Yes, I am aware of how much more valuable she is now. That's why I'm concerned. She can't be just roaming around freely." She said. "Yes, she's here right now. I have her in the back room."

The back room? What's the back room?

Cameron and Kevin walked over to me, frowning as they stared down at me.

"No, I don't think Dallas is with her." Nurse Joy said. "But if he is, then I'll send them together. Ha, they'd certainly tear me apart if I split them up!" She laughed nervously.

"Um..." Kevin said, frowning.

"Yes I'm aware of their value. I already said that. But, since her owner is on the other side of the planet, there's nothing I can do to get her back to him. Plus, I think he's dead to be honest." She said. "So I'll be sending her back to you."

"Okay then, I'll have someone bring her over right away. Have a nice day!" She said as she hung up the phone.

"Hey Audino, go get Electra. Tell her that her owner will be here in a second. She should wait out here or something." Nurse Joy said as she turned around, smiling.

"Oh, hello. How can I help you?" She asked.

"Well... When you said Electra... Did you mean the Electra that-"

"Dallas' mate Electra, yes." Nurse Joy said, smiling. "Why? Do you want to take a picture?"

"Well no..." He laughed as he bent over and picked me up. "The thing is..." He said as he placed me on the counter. "I have Dallas right here..."

"Eep!" Nurse Joy squeaked as she placed her hands over her mouth. "H-how did they get here?"

"Well I found Dallas when I was crying I the woods. He came over to me and cheered me up, then he agreed to be my Pokemon!" Cameron laughed. "He's such a good friend!"

"Oh my. That's strange indeed." Nurse Joy said as she looked down at me, smiling. "Well hello there Dallas. Never thought I'd actually be able to see you in Pokemon." She said as she reached out and stroked my head.

There was something odd about her... She smelled nice, almost soothingly nice... And her voice was so gentle...

"I don't have to go ANYWHERE!" Electra yelled as she walked out into the little space Nurse Joy was in, from the little room behind her."If I don't want to go somewhere I shouldn't have to. If you all respect me so much than you should LISTEN TO WHAT I HAVE TO SAY!" Electra said as she growled. "I don't want to go to my old owner! He's stupid! And plus I left him for a reason!" She said as she hopped up onto the counter. "I'm going where I feel like going." She said as she turned around, staring at Nurse Joy. "And if I'm so "Valuable and rare" and all that other junk, then you'll leave me alone! She said as she turned back around.

"Out of my way!" She snapped as she pushed me to the side, growling as she hopped down onto the floor.

How the hell is she my mate... She's like... Aggressive as heck...

"Well that was weird..." Nurse Joy said. "She just walked right by..."

"Maybe the things people said were lies." Kevin shrugged.

I frowned as Electra hopped back up onto the counter, scratching the back of her head as she stared at me.

"Dallas...?" She asked as she tilted her head, smiling as she dashed forward and hugged me. "Oooohhhh Dallas!!! I'm so glad to see you!" She squealed. "How did you get here? What happened? Why are we here? Don't answer that! I'll ask later! AaaaahhhhI found youuuu!!!" SHe squeaked as she squeezed me tightly. "Ohhh I thought I'd never see you again!"

"Um..." I said as I reluctantly hugged her back, frowning. "I... Missed you too?" I said as I tilted my head. "Um... But just one question..." I said as I let go of the hug.

"What is it?" Electra asked, smiling.

"Who... Are you?" I asked as I tilted my head, frowning as Electra shot me a blank stare.
