Hi, I am Raichu. When I was still a Pikachu, I used to live in a place I later found out humans call the Safari zone. I was living there happily with my family, allways staying away from the people that came here. I was afraid they would take me away, but I must admit I was sometimes curious what lies behind those safe gates.
That all changed one night. I had a dream. In it I was at my home, when a strange human appeared basically out of nowhere. She was old, short lady with grey hairs and eyes. "Hello, little one," she told me. "I have a proposition for you. Tomorrow my granddaughter will come here. If you´d like, I think it would be best if you came with her. I promise that she will take good care of you and show you many sights you would not see otherwise." After that, I woke up.
The next morning, I admit I was curious. I wasn´t completely sold on that idea, but still decided to check that human out first. And sure, she would come. I knew right away she was the one. She even had the same eyes as the old lady.
She soon spotted me and looked at me expectantly. Then she threw a ball at me. That scared me so I jumped away. Then she threw the next one, and I decided it´s time for me to go. And maybe I am imagining things, but as I was sucked into the devide, I swear I heard a voice saying: "Thank you.".
As it turned out, my new trainer wasn´t bad person. She soon noticed that I was pretty shy, but still promised me she would make me stronger. And stronger she did make me. I mean, I must have eliminated basically whole Wingull population, especially after I learned Thunderbolt. But I got to admit, it was fun.
After I got strong enough, she showed me to some lady at the marketplace, and I got my first ribbon. It looked kind of nice.
Then we challenged the Elite four. Wow, what a ride! And for that achievment, I got another ribbon! Yay!
After that, she took me to a place called Battle tower. I wasn´t allowed to participate in battles until the very last ones (the work was done by my teammates Salamence, Metagross and Slaking, who left me his place for the last few battles), but still! New ribbon was mine!
Well, battles aren´t the only thing, as I soon found out. First my trainer gave me something she called PokeBlocks. Some tastet good, some worse, but overall, I was soon pretty full. Sooner than my trainer wished, apparently. But there was nothing she could do, I couldn´t stomach even one more.
That all was done in preparation for contests. There I was shown to judge, if I am good-looking enough (and that I am, thank you very much!), and then I got to show them my moves. It was fine, but I like battles definitely more. Especially since we did it over and over again, until I won in every category possible, and got my painting in the museum. I must say, I am quite proud of that one.
Then came more training. We beat the Elite 4. And again. And again. And again. It was basically trivial at this point, but I have to say I got the precious experience. It took some time, but I finally got to level 100, the best I can be. Even more amazingly, my trainer had Thunder stone for me, something many of my brethren, who still live in the Safari zone, speak only in hushed whispers. It allows us to evolve into Raichu. And into Raichu did I evolve. It was amazing feeling, and I felt much more powerfull.
We then tested my newfound power in the Battle tower again. Yes, I sat on the sidelines for most of the gauntlet, but when I was battling, I definitely pulled my weight.
And that was the last adventure I would have in my home. Tomorrow, my trainer said, we will be travelling to entirely different place, one called Shinnoh. I must admit I am pretty nervouscited. What is awaiting us there?
Trainers notes:
Yes, this is the story of my Raichu. He is pretty special to me, even tough he is not shiny or anything special. The day before I got my pokemon Sapphire, my beloved grandma died. Later, when I played the game, I went to the Safari zone to catch Pikachu. I mean, Raichu IS my favourite pokemon, and I wanted to have him in Safari ball. Well, the VERY FIRST encoutner I had was male Pikachu (which I was happy with, since I don´t like the heart shaped female Pikachu tales or the blunt tales of female Raichu). I caught him with my second ball and checked him. It has Timid nature. I mean, I am sure it was all a coincidence, but I still consider it the last gift my grandma gave me (and yes, we have the same eyes). So I will cherish him and plan to transfer him to all future generations.
