The New Ash's Homepage

On one summer day, Pikachu and the other Pokémon owned by Ash and his friends
comes to Pokémon Land, a park only for Pokémon to spend their holiday. They are all
joyful. However, after a while of their coming through the gate, Togepi starts to cry. He is
now a baby, and hungry. Startled, yet wanting him to stop crying, Pikachu pulls his cheeks
to make a funny face. Squirtle also tries, though in vain. Bulbsaur finds an apple ripe on a
branch of a tree, and shoots leaves to cut it off. The fruit drops, and rolls to stop right
before Psyduck. He takes it, and then, to Pikachu's surprise, eats it. Togepi weeps, his cry
keener, until he fells asleep. Pikachu is relieved, but Raichu, Cubone, Maril, a mouse
monster, and Bruno, a bulldog one, pass near them, chatting loudly. Squirtle asks the
group to be quiet, making them angry. As Bulbasaur joins, two groups glares at each
other, ready to fight. Pikachu tries hard to soothe them.

Togepi totters to a river valley, and onto a log over it. Pikachu turns pale, and follows onto
it, crying, "Pipipi (means 'Togepi')." The log moves suddenly. Pikachu is startled, while
Togepi is pleased. It rolls down the valley in a high speed, throwing Pikachu into the river.
He looks around quickly for Togepi, finding him at a side of the valley. He sighs, relieved.

As he is back, carrying Togepi on his back, he gives another sigh to have seen the two
groups still quarrel.

They decide to have Squirtle and Maril have a swimming match. Obstructed by some of
other Pokémon, both swim with great guts, and Maril wins. But their fight doesn't finish, for
they are not satisfied yet.

Raichu's electric sparks sparkle, hitting the ground near Togepi. Pikachu dashes near him,
shielding him.

A spark hits Pikachu. He stiffens his body, shocked. Raichu and other Pokémon of his
group laugh.

Pikachu looks back, his eyes lifted, and burning with rage. He goes close to Raichu,
glaring at him. Raichu stares back. A tense hash is between them for all of a minute...

They dash out suddenly. They run and run and run, down paths, through a river, crashing
against Pokémon on their way; Meowth, who sleep on a grassland, and Charizard.
Charizard flares up, and dashes after them, but two naughty boys don't care. Charizard
fails to capture them, as his head is pushed into a small hole.

Puzzlement are in minds of Pokémon, except for Raichu's group, including Charizard. The
hole is too small for his head, and he cannot pull it out no matter how many times he tries
to pull back. Pokémon tie his legs tight with the end of a long and thick rope, grips it and
pulls it with all their mights. They try over and over, but Charizard's head is still in the
hole. Tears fills his eyes, as he is scared.

Raichu and his group watch them, keeping a short distance. Pikachu goes near them, and
asks, "pika, pika pika chu. Pikachu. (Help us. Please)" They agree with him, and goes to
take the rope, except Cubone. They try harder, and Charizard's head is almost out, yet
still in. Tears roll down his cheeks.

Cubone's hands grip at the point an inch before Pikachu's on the rope. Pikachu is
delighted. They try once more, much harder. Finally, Charizard is pulled back, his head out
the hole.

The Two groups are now friends. They repair places which have been destroyed by their
fight, and play together the rest of the day. In the evening, Ash and his friends come to
take Pikachu. As he calls Pikachu, a big smile is on Pikachu's face. "Pikapi! (Ash)" Pikachu
runs straight into his arms.
