{ Pop Those Balloons! }

Ash had every intention of playing this game the right way but the points he could earn could earn a certain yellow mouse his favorite food so really, he should have expected Pikachu would get involved. They both wait for the timer to start and Ash grabs the nearest balloon to pop it.

"This should be easy." He says confidently. Pikachu makes a noise of agreement that has Ash a little concerned as he turns just in time to see the sparks emitting from his friend's cheeks.

"Pika...." Ash can tell what's about to happen and he knows that's going to a very powerful thunderbolt.

"Pikachu, I don't know if-" He starts to try and deter the lightening mouse.

"CHUUUU!"

There's a harsh flash of light that can probably be seen from pretty far away as Pikachu aims his lightening at as many balloons as he can at once and in record time, all the the balloons have popped except the one Ash currently has in his hand.

{ Who's that Pokémon? | Prizes }

Being as generally active as he is, it really doesn't take too long for Ash to amass several points. Enough that he's able to win back his Pokedex which, upon checking, really is his because it's registered to his name. It doesn't do him much good out here since the only Pokemon is Pikachu but just for fun, he holds it up to his partner to see what it does.

"Pikachu, the Mouse Pokémon, and the evolved form of Pichu. Pikachu can help other Pikachu who are feeling weak by sharing its electric current."

Pikachu looks up from where he's happily licking ketchup from the bottle and glances up at Ash and then looks at the pokedex. He's probably just checking to make sure it works.

"I wonder what happens if I try to scan one of the animals with it." Ash comments, collapsing it down to it's usual size and putting the device back in his pocket. Pikachu just shrugs with a small "Pika." and returns his attention to the bottle of ketchup.

{ Any Sports | Wild Card }

Ash is very athletic and highly competitive so he'll want to try everything. He's particular good at climbing and anything that involves throwing something. Pikachu is here to help out if he can.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

"Little dude really likes ketchup, huh." Sonic comments idly, arching a brow as Pikachu goes to town on that ketchup before turning his attention back to Ash and his pokedex.

"I've never heard of Meowths or Pika-mice before. Is this another weird thing the Agrii are responsible for, or is this something from wherever you came from?"

"Yeah, but don't try to take it from him-you'll be in for a shock." Ash warns, not wanting a repeat of what happened back at the dinner. He'll try to convince Pikachu to let up here soon. Maybe if he explains it'll last longer if he takes it easy.

"Meowth and Pikachu are both Pokémon from back home. There's hundreds of different Pokémon and so many different types. Pikachu's an electric type and Meowth is a normal type."

"No worries, I don't think even ketchup could save this meat accident." He sighs and glares at his nasty peanut butter meat skewer before finally tossing it into a nearby trash can, having decided that it's too gross to try feeding to the little yellow dude.

"So... okay, so Pokémon are just animals? With powers or something, I assume. Electric makes sense..." He glances at Pikachu again, with that zappy lookin' lightning bolt tail of his. Sure, electric, cool. "What is normal type, what does that mean? Is there an abnormal type?"

Sorry Ash, you have to deal with all the dumb questions now.

Ash watches as the meat skewer is tossed aside. He doesn't want to, but he can't help but wonder what poor creature it was before... he shakes his head.

"There are lots of different types of Pokemon- grass, fire, water, bug, flying, ground, psychic, ghost-" He starts to tick them off on his hand. "Rock, Steel, Ice, Dark, Dragon, Fighting, Fairy and um..." he pauses to think about.

"Pikachu." Pikachu speaks up.

"Right! Poison!" Ash finishes his list.

Sonic is trying real hard not to think about where the meat around here came from. Things get weird when it comes to meat anymore.

"...Are the ghost ones just like, dead, or..." Y'know because that's the best thing to focus on. He'll just abandon that thought and glance over at Pikachu real quick. That wasn't a mouse noise, why are you saying your own name, little dude?

"No, he totally just said Pikachu."

"No? At least, not all of them." Ash answers, not realizing how alarming that might sound.

"Pika?" Pikachu looks up as Sonic is surprised by him saying his name.

"Well o'course he did. He is a Pikachu. Most Pokemon can only repeat their name. Although, he have a few that could talk through telepathy."

ASH WHAT???? Are there Poké-necromancers like what is going on?? Sonic gives Ash a very concerned look, but decides that he probably doesn't want to know just yet.

"That's... huh. So, wait, is he a Pikachu, or is his name Pikachu?"

It's fine Sonic, don't worry about the ghost Pokémon and how some of them are said to drag humans to Hell or guard the doors to the otherworld. It's nothing to be concerned about. Really, at the end of the day, Ghost Pokémon usually just want to play pranks on people.

"Both." Ash shrugged. "It's his name and he's a Pikachu." Look, he is a ten year old boy, what do you want from him?

"Pika PiKachu." Pikachu gestures to himself in a clear introduction. "Pika Pikapi. He gestures to Ash.

"Oh yeah, I completely forgot, My name's Ash."

Is it fine, though? Is it?

Ash naming your Pikachu Pikachu would be like if your mom named you Human. And also all you could say was your name, so you'd be going around yelling HUMAN HUMAN at people? ...Yeah, Sonic's just going to keep those thoughts to himself seeing as he's not really here to be a jerk for no reason. He might give Pikachu a nickname later, though.

"Right, nice to meet you guys. Name's Sonic."

In his defense, Pikachu kinda came with the name when Ash got him from Professor Oak. And he doesn't seem to mind.

"Nice to meet you!" Ash offers with a smile. "Guess we'll see ya around?"

Now, did Pikachu come up with it, or is Pikachu all Pikachu can say and when Pikachu said 'Pikachu' he was actually saying 'Jimmy' but everyone heard 'Pikachu' so they rolled with Pikachu?

I'll stop.

"Yeah, I'll be around. Not like there's a lot of places to go on this planet, anyway. Think I'm gonna go try to find something that doesn't taste like peanuts."

Who knows.

"There's plenty to explore still." Ash says excitedly. "Pikachu and I like to go to the edge of the forest most often- or over by the lake. You can find some really good berries there." Those don't taste like peanuts.

"Pikachu!" Pikachu nods in agreement.

"Berries by the lake, huh? I'll have to keep that in mind. I really need to pay more attention to keeping an eye out for stuff like that while I'm out looking around."

By 'looking around' he means 'zipping around fast as hell because he's bored', but y'know.
