You are a Pichu wandering around the forest, sunlight filtering through the canopy and dappling the forest floor around you. The air smells of pine and damp earth as you see groups of Pokémon playing nearby—Rattata chasing each other through the underbrush, a family of Pidgey preening their feathers on a low branch—but you are the only one that stands out. Your golden cheeks feel warm as you try to make new friends, but the other Pokémon seem to ignore you, continuing with their games as if you weren't there.

One day passes, then another. Just as loneliness starts to weigh heavy on your small shoulders, you encounter a group of Koffing bobbing in a clearing. Their purple spherical bodies and skull-like faces don't look friendly, but you approach anyway, ears perked hopefully. You do the usual—offer a small electrical spark of greeting from your cheeks—but they suddenly puff out huge green clouds of smoke. It smells acrid and toxic, burning your nostrils as inhaling it makes you dizzy. Your vision swims and your tiny legs collapse beneath you, sending you tumbling down the steep cliff at the edge of the clearing.

Branches whip against your fur as you fall, but before you hit the ground, something warm and furry catches you. Opening your eyes, you find yourself in the safety of a Kangaskhan's pouch, her gentle eyes looking down at you with concern. The baby Kangaskhan in the other pouch peers at you好奇地, tiny hands reaching out. You, Kangaskhan, and the little baby become fast friends, almost like a family, sharing berries and warmth in her cave each night.

But it doesn't last long. One night, as you grow slightly larger than the baby sleeping beside you, you know it's time to say goodbye. Quietly, you exit Kangaskhan’s pouch and the cave, pausing at the entrance. The night air feels cool against your fur as you finally say your farewells, your voice cracking with emotion. Before you can finish, your body begins to glow—bright white light surrounding you as you evolve, your form stretching and changing from Pichu to Pikachu. Finally, you continue your farewells, electricity crackling softly between your new, larger cheeks, before turning and running toward the horizon, a new adventure calling to you.
