4th Gen Who got tricked by a Pokékid?

Who got tricked by a few kids dressed as Pokémon? I saw this little Pikachu, alone on a bridge on my way to Solaceon Town. I felt real sympathy for it, so went up to, it saying: "Hi there, little Pikachu, are you lost?" and when I spoke to it, he cried out: "Hi, I'm a Pokémon! Let's battle!" Who's ever had that done to them?

STORY ALERT


It was a wonderful day. Sunny skies, clear blue water, an array of trainers young and old out for a stroll and the occasional battle with their pirzed Pokemon. I was walking through the reformed wilds on the outskirts of Hearthome City. I walked and battled a few trainers. Nothing special, just like every other day.

And then, I saw a Pikachu. I saw a cute, little, yellow Pikachu. I had known that Pikachu were not native to this area. I stopped and asked myself, "Wait, who's cute Pikachu could that be? Surely someone must be missing it." I walked over to it, and it was calm and did not seem frightened. It did not run away or attack me, so assumed it must have belonged to a trainer and was used to being around people.

I spoke to it, trying to keep it from finding me a threat. It turned to me, I noticed it seemed alert and pleased with itself. It opened it mouth and I expected it to utter it's name in a feeble attempt to communicate with me.

To my surprise, however, it spoke words. The Pikachu spoke human words in perfect english. It sounded like a human child as it said something along the lines of, "I'm a Pokemon!"

I heard music start to play. Music that I was all too familliar with. I heard music that signalled the start of a trainer battle. Could this Pikachu be its own trainer? No, impossible. That just couldn't be!

My vision began to fade. My world went black. Then, LIGHT! I got a closer, more clear look at this peculiar Pikachu's face. I noticed that I had been tricked, by a young child dressed as a Pokemon. I , the one trainer who was destined to save this entire region, had been unwillingly roped into a battle at the hands of a mere child!

I felt so foolish for falling into this simple trap. How had I not known beforehand? Surely there must have been some kind of feature I overlooked in the confusion. A sign that could have distinguished this child from a genuine Pokemon. Even now, I fail to remeber such a sign.

Ever since that humiliating event, I have been unable to approach a lone Pokemon. I am just too cautious, too afraid of what I may find. When I think of all the Pokemon encounters that I have missed out on due to that crafty child, I cry a little inside.

I curse that child. My life had been ruined, ruined by a child who only wanted a battle. Thinking back, I regret that I had to defeat the child's Pokemon in such a one-sided fight. I had not thought of restraint at the time, I was blined by rage. Thinking of what could have been, if it had only been a Pikachu.
 
I've Been Tricked By Him Once. But In Platinum But Still Battled Him.
 
Oh my goodness! That totally happened to me as well the first time I played Diamond! I had no idea that it was a trainer. I thought someone lost their Pokemon (Keira had just had her Buneary run away when I reached Hearthome, but I stopped it.) I thought the Pikachu belonged to someone. Then, I spoke to it and it talked back. Before I knew it, I was in a battle. My Pokemon were weak. I should have went to a Pokemon center. I shut off my game, healed my Pokemon and went back to battle the Pokekid. (I never want to lose to a trainer/pokemon in a game.) I just have to shut off my game when I lose. Then turn it back on until I win.
 
Just that kid in that house near Sunyshore that has a house full of pikachu.
 
Yeah I first talked to it incase you could battle it, and I wanted to catch a pikachu.
 
I was wondering how could there be a Pikachu on a bridge? (you know the Route right of Hearthome)
Well, obviously I talk to it... T.T
 
Yeah I saw one and talked to it hoping to catch it.
I was like ZOMGWTF NO EVENT PIKACHOO?

Yes, that exact thing happened to me. XD

I was like "B-battle?! You have Pokémon?" until I figured it out as the battle started.
 
I didn't use the booklet for the game. My brother hogged it. He didn't let me use it until after I beat the game. I assumed there would have actually been an overworld sprite of a Pikachu with a human face when I saw the sprite of her on spriters-resource. I didn't think she would actually be a Pikachu. I got tricked only that one time on the route to Solaceon. After that, never again.
