Late one Friday night at Canterlot High, a small yellow mouse steps out of the base of the Wondercolt statue.
"Pikachu!" The yellow mouse says in confusion as it looks around at its new surroundings. One minute it had been resting in Ness's room, looking at itself in his mirror, and the next it's standing in front if a high school, or at least it was before it got scooped up in the net. The Pikachu had just been caught by the dog catcher, to be brought in to the local animal shelter.
-The next day-
"Mr. Director? I'm here." Fluttershy says as she enters the doors to the animal shelter.
"Fluttershy? I'm glad you could make it today. We got some new strays yesterday. I'd like you catalog and tag them, please, before putting them where they belong."
"Sure thing, Mr. Director."
Fluttershy quickly got to work, and ended up taking care two rabbits, three dogs, two hamsters, and a cat before getting to a murine creature that she instantly recognized.
"I think that's supposed to be a Pikachu." Fluttershy says as the Pikachu perks up upon hearing its name.
"Pikachu!" It says as sparks of happiness dance from its cheeks upon hearing someone finally recognize its name.
"Of course I'd recognize a Pikachu when I see it." Fluttershy says, having understood what the Pikachu said with her magic. "Playing Pokemon is one of my guilty pleasures."
"Pika-Pi!" The Pikachu says as it lays down and spins on the table before hopping down to stand at Fluttershy's feet.
"You want to go home with me." Fluttershy asks the electric mouse.
The Pikachu nods its head, and nuzzles Fluttershy's leg, lightly shocking her in the process.
Fluttershy giggles and picks Pikachu up. "Okay then. I'll just put you in my backpack and sneak you out at the end of the day." She says as she heads to the locker where she puts her stuff in while she's at the animal shelter.
-At Fluttershy's House-
"Okay, you can come out now." Fluttershy says in a sweet voice as she kneels over and tilts her backpack towards the floor so she can let her new friend out. The Pikachu quickly scampers out of the backpack and looks around, seeing its new home for the first time. "Pika!" it says as it looks around at Fluttershy's bedroom before looking at Fluttershy and smiling.
