Based on the Just-So stories by Rudyard Kipling, these collections of short stories tell and prove (ah-hem) just how things have in the Pokemon Universe. So need to double-check something for a science project? Then come here. Or just inquisitive? Come here, too! But most importantly, believe. Oh, and have fun!
Right, can I have a request. I'm not angry, I'm just being abrupt: Can people stop doing there own submitted questions. It takes away the point of the project a bit. Try and do other peoples!

Gather round, children, gather round -- Maybe adults too. I'm here to tell you some stories and what stories they are. For what you shall hear are some incredible tales that even this even' even Aesop and Shakespeare couldn' look up to. They are wonderful, magical, mystical and let me add for my faithful list'ners: Absolutely true! Yes, science may have destroyed your minds and told you that old evi' is to blame, or religion has told you that old Eve is to blame. Nev'r mind, for now it is time for you to find out the very basics of life itself.
HOW PIKACHU CAME TO HAVE RED CHEEKS
There's a saying in northern parts that goes "Never trust a leapord without spots." Now what this means, no one knows, or indeed no one even knows what a leopard is. But the phrase is irrlevant to this story, so thankfully, I don't have to use it.
Now this story does not begin with a Pikachu as one might think, but with a Mr. Mime who that day happened to be visiting a Pikacu colony. Now this Mr. Mime was having a mid-life crisis (as most Mr. Mime's happen to do). For the only time this Mr. Mime had ever seen another creature with red spots on it's cheeks was when this Mr. Mime had peered into clear, reflective water. This Mr. Mime felt it was an outcast.
Now, this particular colony of Pikachus were very cheeky Pikachus. When one of them saw the approaching Mr. Mime it ran up to another and said, "Look at that old fella, approaching in the distance."
The other Pikachu peered into the middle-distance and said, "My goodness, he is an odd fella what with all his odd limbs, funny hair and --" the Pikachu let out a particular loud giggle "-- red spots on it's cheek!"
"You're right, Pikachu," said the Pikachu (not to itself but to the other Pikachu). And as the Mr. Mime got closer, they both had an idea. They ran into the centre of their colony and shouted,
"Pikachu of our colony!" For they were all Pikachu of their colony. "We have noticed an odd pokemon approaching nearby with equally odd red cheeks. Let us mock this odd pokemon by covering our cheeks with red spots and making it feel embarrassed." The Pikachus of the colony (for they were Pikachus in a colony) ran to the nearest berry bushes and started pressing the reddest of the red, red berries into their cheek, creating the reddest of the red, red spots on their cheeks. Indeed, these spots were so red that they were redder than the red spots on the now nearby Mr. Mime.
An even more nearby Donphan warned the mischievous Pikachu, "You'd better wash off those stains before an hour, otherwise they'll dry for ever and you'll never be able to get those redder than red, red spots off your cheeks."
But the Pikachus merely scoffed, "We're right by a river!" they said, "We'll wash off those redder than red, red spots of our cheeks."
The Donphan merely shrugged and wandered off saying, "Don't say I didn't warn you."
So now, the Pikachus with the redder than red, red cheeks stood in a row and waited for the Mr. Mime to come near. The Mr. Mime saw them and delighted that another type of pokemon had redder than red, red cheeks like itself. However, this Mr. Mime was so delighted that it went forward to hug them. The Pikachus, horrified, as I would be if a double-jointed, redder than red, red cheeked freak was running towards me, arms outstretched eletrocuted the poor Mr. Mime.
Now this was just too much for Mr. Mime. In retaliation it surrounded the helpless Pikachus with an invisible wall and wandered off into the distance, never to be seen again, although some say it became a part-time probation officer for the law courts.
Now this was just too much for the Pikachus. They were trapped in an invisible wall unable to get anyway including the...
"River! We need to get to the river!" said one of the Pikachus who had redder than red, red cheeks. This caused an upsurge of panic and they all started accidentally shocking each other. Eventually, they realised that this was only making the berries dry faster.
A couple of hours later and that same Donphan who had warned them earlier came wandering by after a quick drink in the river. It saw all the Pikachus uncomfortably squashed up against an invisible wall. This Donphan had recently been given the ability to roll around and smash things (but that's a different story) and smashed the invisible wall to nothing.
The desperate Pikachus raced to the river, desperately trying to splash desperate loads of desperate water onto their desperate faces but alas, it was too late, the berries had permanently stained their faces, and just like the freak they had been trying to mock, they had redder than red, red cheeks.
And that is the story of how Pikachu came to have red cheeks. So remember, "Never trust a leopard without spots."
