The peak battles between Greninja and Charizard were smooth and shocking.
One was Gardevoir, the Trump Card Pokémon that briefly suppressed Kalos Region Champion Trainer Diantha.
The other was a 1v1 battle, where Charizard achieved a true victory over a legendary Pokémon.
Both were undeniably peak-level battles.
Now, if we consider this...
Then the third battle...
Surely, it wouldn't be any weaker than the two Pokémon battles, right?
Suppressing the Champion Trainer?
Defeating a legendary Pokémon?
Either way, these achievements left the audience around the world stunned.
So...
Who will complete this next achievement?
Which Pokémon is it?
The audience couldn't help but anticipate.
All eyes were glued to the green screen on the screen.

**Tony in the real world** continued to watch the video.
Meanwhile, the green screen connected to the Pokémon world began to rotate.

**Palace Gate Stadium, Audience Seats**
"The third peak battle is about to begin."
"Every victory and defeat has been beyond our expectations. This time, I'll go against the grain and choose Ash's side."
"Me too, me too."
Greninja and Charizard are both high-level Pokémon.
Compared to legendary Pokémon...
There is a gap, but it's not too obvious.
As long as the battle follows the same routine, the result will be predictable.
Ash will definitely win.
Unless...
Unless a Pokémon with two different species is sent out.
But forget it.
That's too unrealistic.

**Camera switch** —
[The first Pokémon seen by everyone is a small mouse Pokémon with an olivine body.]
[It has a pair of black ears shaped like diamonds, and the insides of the ears are olivine. It has black patterns around the neck and pink power sacs in the cheeks.]
[In addition, it has a pair of short front paws, a pair of round hind paws, and a black tail.]
If...
Previously, with the popularity of Greninja, the three starter Pokémon of the Kalos Region, and the legendary Pokémon Articuno, some viewers may have been unfamiliar with them.
But the Pokémon appearing now...
Is a Pokémon as common as stray dogs on the roadside—
**Pichu!!**
---
**Kanto Region, Cinnabar Island**
"Is this... Pikachu??"
When Ash saw Pichu, he was momentarily stunned and immediately looked at Pikachu beside him.
"Pikapi??"
Pikachu tilted its head, looking at Ash.
There's a clear difference between Pichu and Pikachu, but Ash...
Still recognized this as Pikachu in its infancy.

"That Pikachu... Why is it so small?"
Jessie, from Team Rocket's stupid trio, saw the cute Pichu on the screen and couldn't help but comment.
"That's not Pikachu."
James complained, then took out a Pokémon card, found relevant information, and explained to Jessie:
"This is Pichu, the form Pikachu takes before it evolves. Since it's still young, it's not yet familiar with using electricity."
"Plus, the electric sacs on its cheeks are still small, so it can't store much electricity."
"But it can store electricity more easily when there are thunderclouds or on dry days. It will make crackling static sounds. When fully charged, it'll play around energetically."
"Although it's small, Pichu can release Thunder Shock powerful enough to paralyze an adult. But sometimes, it even scares itself."
After listening to James' explanation, Jessie understood.
But soon, she got excited.
"Pichu is Pikachu's pre-evolved form, so all we need to do is catch a bunch of easy-to-bully Pichus, wait for them to evolve into Pikachu, and then give them to Boss Giovanni, right?"
Jessie began to laugh.
Meowth shook his head helplessly.
"Stupid Jessie, have you forgotten why we want the twerp's Pikachu?"
"Not all Pikachus have the same potential as the twerp's Pikachu, meow."
"There's no point in capturing Pichu, meow~"
After hearing Meowth's words...
Jessie realized something.
Indeed...
She had been influenced by the twerp's Pikachu.
She thought all Pikachus were that powerful.
But in reality...
Only the twerp's Pikachu is one of a kind, with great potential.
The stupid trio from Team Rocket firmly believes that the Pokémon they choose will definitely be world-class Pokémon!
(This is true love. The world's No. 1 Pokémon teacher led his team to win the world championship. This proves how great the trio's instincts are!)

**Palace Gate Stadium, Audience Seats**
"Pichu? So cute!!"
"It's adorable, but this isn't quite the right time for it to be here."
"Yes, this is the peak battle, so don't let little Pichu join in the fun."
"Maybe it's just a brief cameo, leading to a more powerful Pokémon. Don't worry."
The audience chatted.
Pichu...
That's a very weak Pokémon!
Although Pichu has two evolutions, like the three starters...
Even when it evolves into its final form, Raichu...
It's still just a medium-level Pokémon.
Among the world's top trainers, no one would regard the Pikachu family as a Trump Card Pokémon.

**The scene continues** —
[It was in a lush forest in the Kanto Region where a lonely Pichu lived.]
[This young Pichu, with no particular race, lived alone in this forest.]
[One day, the Pichu started looking for food as usual.]
[After searching for most of the day, it found a fruit, and its cute cheeks suddenly began to gather crackling electricity.]
"Swish!"
[The Pichu, using too much power to store electricity, turned several somersaults under the force before stopping.]
[However, the weak electric beam struck the fruit, knocking it down.]
[The Pichu quickly stepped forward and caught the fruit, displaying a happy expression.]
[But it never expected...]
[A rustling sound came from the bushes, and a dark purple rattlesnake jumped out, biting Pichu with its bloody mouth.]
[It turned out... this was the territory of the Abe Snake.]
[Panicked, Pichu condensed saffron-colored electricity again in its pink electric sacs.]
"Swoosh!!!"
[Saffron Thunder Shock was quickly launched and hit the Abe Snake.]
[The Abe Snake, now crackling with golden arcs of electricity, felt its body beginning to stiffen and ran away immediately.]
[But because the electricity released was too powerful, Pichu accidentally electrocuted itself.]
[Dizzy, Pichu fell toward a cliff.]
**Danger!!!**
The people were panicking.
[Thankfully... at this critical moment, a migrating Kangaskhan mother happened to catch Pichu.]
[Kangaskhan, seeing the cute Pichu, decided to adopt it.]
