The last day of the rainy season has arrived. In this here plain, there is a bridge that can always be seen on this day that shines in rainbow colors. Today, as one reaches the shining foot of it, they'll find a Pikachu who exerts its energy and releases crackling electricity from its whole body! What even is at the foot of the bridge? Pikachu storms forth at a speed that can reach above the sky.
The long rain had stopped, and sunlight was gradually shining through the dimly lit forest. Pikachu, which had been curled up still in its cave, felt the warm sunlight and looked up.
I saw something sparkling in the gap between the trees. What on earth could it be? Pikachu, who had been cooped up for a long time, jumped out of the cave, excited to see something sparkling for the first time in a long time. The sun shining through the trees seemed to make even Pikachu's body shine. Perhaps because of its excited running, Pikachu gets stuck in several puddles and is startled by a splash, causing the Pokémon lurking in the grass to look up. It's a cheerful Pikachu, I think, a little dismayed, but smiling, and I slowly drift off to sleep again.
Pikachu was so engrossed that it ran through the forest toward the exit. As it passed through the forest, the dimly lit landscape suddenly opened up. It was dazzling, Pikachu squinted its eyes. Blue sky, big iridescent clouds standing like cotton candy. In the midst of it all, Pikachu spotted a light shining in seven different colors. It was a big, shiny, seven-colored bridge that crossed over the mountain. Had we seen something like that before? Maybe it was a special present brought by the long rain. Pikachu's eyes sparkled like that light.
At that moment, Pikachu felt a tingling electric current in his cheek. Yes, it had been in the forest for a long time and had a lot of electricity built up in its body. Pikachu shook its head as hard as he could! As Pikachu bounced around, happy to feel lighter and lighter, it came up with a great idea!
Let's take a closer look at that sparkle! As soon as it thinks of it, Pikachu starts running. The cool, slightly wet grass felt good. But no matter how fast it ran, the sparkle never seemed to get any closer. Pikachu thought it was strange, but it did not stop running. I wonder what is at the foot of that sparkle. His heart pounded in his chest...
Then I heard someone approaching from behind me. When I turned around, there stood the Pokémon of the forest who were waiting for the weather to clear, just like Pikachu.
That sparkling bridge is gone, but the sparkling days with everyone will continue forever.
That sparkle from earlier was so beautiful! Did you see it too? Pikachu returned to the forest with its friends whose eyes were shining. Next time that seven-colored bridge appears, let's all run together to see the foot of it.
