011 [Video]
[The video feed opens up with Red facing the camera. Pikachu is on his shoulder. It looks like he's filming from outside of his house. A large laboratory building can be seen in the background.]
Hey. It's Red. [He holds up a hand in greeting then puts it down.] Uh, not many people know about it, but it's 'First Pokémon' week. It's when trainers ( Read more... )

What benefits do you think come from not evolving your Pikachu?

[Red folds his arms to think of a good way to respond.] He's a lot harder to hit. After training Pikachu for so long, I have a good idea of what he can dodge. If it looks like the battle will be rough, I usually switch to another Pokémon. So... I guess the answer is just knowing what to expect.

Oh - right. I met my Pikachu when I was pretty young. I beat my first gym with the move Thunderbolt... and I've stuck with Pikachu ever since.

[He looks back at Pikachu having fun then turns back to Volkner.] What's it like raising Raichu compared to Pikachu?

Sitara is my first and only. She came to me injured, and after with help from the Centre I nursed her back to health, she decided to remain with me and help me deliver orders. I love her very much.

It's good hearing you and Sitara are close. I bet she's glad she's with you. [He smiles then his face changes to one of curiosity.] Those cakes can get heavy, right? I wonder how strong she really is.

She is pretty tough. She found May in a storm carrying a package, after all. However I do not have her travel beyond Kanto/Johto, she is only a pidgey. I do worry for her, but she does seem capable.

So tell me Red... your Pikachu. What does it like?

[He reaches over and the screen moves from Red to the floor where Pikachu has spread out a variety of items. As Red narrates, the little mouse holds up one item after another.] That's a light ball. It's got some extra charge in it that Pikachu can absorb, so he keeps it close. There's a bunch of berries that Pikachu likes eating after shocking them a little bit. I've tried one before and it tasted kinda burnt, but I guess he likes it that way. That's a can of lemonade...
Oh... you like tomatoes too, right, Pikachu? [Pikachu nods in agreement.] I guess we don't have any right now. Also, we watch action movies together. He's holding my copy of Swellowman: The Movie... [Red's voice sounded a little embarrassed.]
[Suddenly, Pikachu is seen coming closer and climbing back up Red. The camera jolts a little and is back on the young man and ( ... )

You really think you should let the little guy go that long without evolving, though, kid?
[The Raichu in the background shakes his head. NOPE. SHOULDN'T HAPPEN. EVOLVE THAT SUCKER.]

[He and Pikachu look at each other then back again at Surge.] Uh... he's not gonna die if he stays like this, right?
Reply
[Both he and Raichu shake their heads in unison.] He won't die, but he sure won't reach his full potential. You've gotta take advantage of that!

It feels really good to have a Pokemon with you for so long. [He crosses his arms and nods. Yep! Now... trying to think of a question.]
Did you guys always get along so well?
Reply
[He crosses his arms to think.] Sometimes we don't agree on the same thing, but we try to work stuff out quick. It was tough when we first met because we were expecting too much. We stuck together through a lot, so I think that's how we're so close now. [Pikachu nods in agreement.]
