The Luxray and the Pikachu

This story is based on Aesop's "The Lion and the Mouse" but with a little twist.





Once there was a tiny little Pikachu, who is far smaller than any other Pikachu. He went for a walk in the forest. Until he come across a hill. The hill is odd because it's black and blue. Pikachu find it curious and decide to climb on.

On the way he find the hill to be furry. As soon as he reach the top, he discovered that the hill is actually a Pokemon, not just any Pokemon, it's a Luxray. A great big one actually. Luckily for Pikachu, the Luxray is asleep. However, luck turn against him when he accidently fell onto Luxray's nose. The Luxray woke up to find the little pokemon on his nose. He accidently sneeze causing Pikachu to fall to the ground. The little Pikachu tried to escape, but Luxray uses his eyes to find his prey, then use his paws to catch him.

Luxray lift Pikachu up to his face and said to the Pikachu, "How dare you wake me up from my fine nap. Don't you know who I am? I'm Luxray, ruler of this part of the forest, and yet you wake me. You look tasty, I think I'm going to eat you." With that, he open his mouth to drop the Pikachu in.

But before he could, the Pikachu cry out, "Please don't eat me, giant Luxray. I didn't mean to wake you. Honestly It was a mistake."

"Well then," said Luxray. "It will be the last mistake you'll ever make, cause I'm still going to eat you."

"Wait!" cry the Pikachu. "Can’t you show some mercy?"

"Look you little rodent," said the Luxray, "I'm always hungry when I woke up from my nap. I got to eat. Besides what can you do that will make it up to me? After all, I am bigger than you. You're just a tiny Pikachu."

"Just because I'm tiny, doesn't mean I'm useless."

The Luxray thought for a moment. Then he told the Pikachu, "I still want to eat you though, but I'll tell you what, you gave me a good laugh today. I'll let you go this one time. But if I ever catch you waking me up again. You'll never see the light of day again. Do I make myself clear?"

"Crystal," the Pikachu answered.

"Now I'm still hungry. I'm gonna go hunt for something else, since you refuse to be eaten." And the two went their separate ways.



A few days went by, the Luxray went out for a stroll in the forest, when suddenly he got caught in a trap. It was a poacher's net. Luxray try to get out, his claws are no good. He let out a roar crying, thinking that this is the end for him.

Suddenly he heard a familiar voice, "Luxray?" It was Pikachu. The same Pikachu from before.

"Oh I'm so happy to see you," said Luxray. "Would you mind helping me out of this net, if the poachers find me, I'll be in trouble."

"Okay, I'll try to help you out." Pikachu climb onto the net, and began to nibble it. He nibbled and nibbled and nibbled, until the net came loose letting Luxray out. Pikachu became tired from all the nibbling. He said to Luxray, "You go on without me, I can't move another muscle."

"No way," said Luxray. "I'm not going to let the poachers take you instead of me."

"Well what can I do? I can't hang onto your back."

Luxray thought for a moment as the poachers became heard from a distance. Then he had an idea. He got his head closer to the tiny Pikachu open his mouth. "Climb in," he said.

"What!?," Pikachu shouted. "You still want to eat me after I save your life?"

"I'm not eating you, I'm saving you. You'll have to climb into my mouth if you want to live."

Pikachu find that he had no choice. He climb into Luxray's mouth, with the help of Luxray, and the two flee into the forest before the poacher shows up.



An hour later, the Luxray spit Pikachu out of his mouth and repeatedly lick him. "Oh Pikachu," Luxray cry. "You taste so good, but you save me. Oh thank you, thank you, thank you." The Luxray got off of him and said to him, "Since you help me back there consider us even."

"Thanks Luxray," said the saliva covered Pikachu. "Now then," Luxray said. "Since you save me, you shall be known throughout the forest. I'm sure your parents are proud of you."

"I'm sure they were," said Pikachu. "If I have any."

"What do you mean?" ask Luxray.

"My parents died when I was very little, and I'm an only child."

"You're an orphan?" ask Luxray.

"Yes," Pikachu replied. "I have no one in my life anymore." Pikachu began to cry over his parents.

Luxray had no idea about what Pikachu went through. He try to think of something to calm the little guy down. Then he got it. "Would you like for me to put you in my mouth?"

Pikachu thought for a moment. "Yes, only this time, will you swallow me? I think I like to calm down in your tummy for a while."

"I understand." He gently grab the Pikachu with his paw and he lift him to his face. He open his mouth wide, and gently place the Pikachu on his tongue. After that, he close his mouth, and began to get Pikachu's taste. Once Pikachu is near the back of the throat, Luxray began to swallow the little guy. Pikachu went down through Luxray's throat. He then land with a splash, he's inside Luxray's stomach.

"If you want Luxray, you can go ahead and digest me."

But Luxray said, "No way I would never hurt you?"

Pikachu is surprised. "Why not?" he asked.

"Is there a reason to digest a friend?" ask Luxray. Pikachu was surprised to hear Luxray call him a friend. "You've proven that even a tiny creature like yourself can help a big guy like me. Besides, you got somebody, and that's me."

"You mean..."

"Yep, you'll be living with me from now on. I'll protect you for as long as I shall live."

Pikachu was touch by the Luxray's words. "Thanks Luxray, that means alot to me."

"It's no problem," said Luxray. "Oh and by the way, you can stay in my tummy for the rest of the day. I'll even let you sleep in it."

"Okay," said Pikachu. And so, the two began to live with each other, no matter what happens.

Later at night, Luxray swallow some berries for Pikachu to eat. Luxray began to lay on his back and patted his belly knowing that Pikachu is inside. The two slept peacefully and they all live happily ever after.
