carefully, like a bunch of cat burglars, they crept along the edge of the route, breaking through shrubberies before eventually coming to a stop. they've reached their destination.

"we're here."

his voice was hushed, quiet against the dead of the night. why was it always nighttime?

up ahead, a swarm of bright-yellow pikachu sniffed at the ground, searching for something. it left them prone; vulnerable.

"i think you should just run up and grab one."

a joke, obviously, but would elliott see it as one?

There seemed to be constant shushing on the way to their destination because Elliott would not shut up on the journey. It wasn't his fault he couldn't control his voice.

And the fact he may have had some caffeine way too late at night to function at a normal level.

"How much you gonna give me if it doesn't electrocute me first?" he said, stepping forward to emerge from their hiding spot. "Bet I won't do it. Come on, how much?"

oh. maybe it wasn't a joke after all.

"you serious?"

he certainly looked serious. leave it to elliott to try something as dumb as this, but cian wasn't complaining. if anything, he was thrilled.

"i'll give you fifty bucks if it doesn't zap the shit out of you."

his eyes narrowed a little as he looked over to the pikachu. his lips curled into a grin at the sight of one in particular. he pointed at it.

"that one, though."

it was smaller than the others but it looked nastier. mean.

Elliott gave him a look. "C'mon, if you will give me money for it, I will do it." But his terms went slightly over his head.

Cian picked out his target, and Eli approached the mass swarm of Pikachu. "Hey, buddies. Let me see... you."

He managed to pick up the one Pikachu that Cian pointed out, and it stared back at him rather grumpily. "Look. He ain't gonna shock me," he said, looking back to him with his tongue sticking out of his mouth.

Clearly not looking at the Pikachu in his hands.

cian had to suppress the urge to call off the bet because, honestly, he didn't want to see his friend get hurt, at least not that much. who knew how strong this wild pikachu was? could it kill elliott?

"bro—"

but it was too late.

a THUNDERSHOCK zapped.

"What?"

He barely got the word out when the Pikachu used THUNDERSHOCK on him, sending a coarse of electricity through him. He dropped the thing after a moment, shaking his hands and jumping around like an idiot.

"Fuck! That hurt!" He scowled at the Pikachu, who he swore stuck its tongue out at him.

the pikachu definitely did stick its tongue out at him but only because elliott deserved it. who picks up a wild pikachu like that?

despite the pain his friend must be feeling, cian bursts out laughing.

"guess i owe you fifty bucks. but...i'll double it if you hug two more."

He heard laughing behind him, and he turned to scowl at Cian, raising his hand to flip him off ever so graciously.

"Fuck you. I'm not doing that again. Let's get to work. Maybe you'll get shocked this time."

Great, now he's grumpy.

grumpy elliott is no unfamiliar sight. it only amuses cian even more, but he hides it well behind a pout.

"aw, don't be like that, bud."

he approaches, wrapping an arm around elliott's shoulder.

"i'm sorry you got shocked."

He wanted to shrug Cian off. But then there was also something a little bit comforting about his friend consoling him after he got shocked.

Wait, he was the reason he got shocked.

"Yeah, yeah. Let's get to work. Maybe you'll get shocked this time."

"you really think i'll get shocked?"

as if to prove a point, he pats elliott on his back before approaching one of the many pikachu in front of them. he turned back to look at as friend.

"choose one and i'll pick 'em up. bet you i won't get shocked."

"You're a cocky bastard. I'll show you," he said.

Looking at the herd of Pikachu in front of them, he tapped his chin methodically. Then he thought of it. Why not pick up the same damn Pikachu that shocked him? Wouldn't that be pay back?

"Find the same one that got me. I bet he'll get you too."

the same pikachu...

"fine."

it doesn't take him long to find it when it stands out from the rest of them. so ferocious...so aggressive...

and yet, he takes a step towards it.

"watch and learn."

he picks it up.

That Pikachu was standing there, looking very angry and very unhappy. He looked at Cian when he came toward him with this pouting look on his face that could absolutely be construed as a glare.

Elliott held his breath.

When he picked up the Pikachu...

Nothing seemed to happen.

"The hell?"
