Encounter with an old-new friend
A hum left Satoshi's lips as a small breeze brushed his jet black bangs. On his shoulder, his faithful Pikachu let out a pleased "Cha~" as his ears moved a bit.
"Feels good, right Pikachu?" The 19 years old asked softly, giving a loopsided smile at his companion.
Satoshi chuckled at Pikachu's agreement, his steps faltering as he noticed how deep he had got into Tokiwa Forest. Pikachu glanced at him, cocking his head and letting out a questioning, "Pikapi?"
"Eh, that wasn't quite what I had in mind..." He admitted softly, scratching his cheek with a finger as he sweatdropped. "I hope there's no Beedrills around..."
Pikachu shook his head fondly, amused at his Trainer. The small yellow mouse had known Satoshi wanted to take a break from his new position; yet now they had found themselves lost into Tokiwa Forest.
"You think Shigeru gonna worry?" Satoshi asked absent-mindedly, a faint blush forming on his tan cheeks without his knowing.
"Pi..." Pikachu replied without much emotion.
Satoshi chuckled once again as his brown eyes sparkled at the thought of Shigeru. "I guess I'll see when I come back to Tokiwa. The strength of his scolding will make a good measure." He commented dryly.
Pikachu let out what suspiciously sounded like a snort, and exchanged an amused glance with Satoshi. Then, his ears perked up as he heard steps. His nose twitched; and Pikachu let out a confused, "Pi... Ka?"
His nose was telling him the scent was very familiar to Shigeru's one; yet it was also... different.
"What's the matter buddy?" Satoshi asked, trailing his gaze around. "Someone is here?"
Satoshi grinned. "Maybe they can help us out of here?" He joked before calling out loudly, "Hello?!"
