Introduction
for Pikachu
Pikachu is no.1
popular monster in Japan, 151.40cm height and
weights around
6 kilograms. The main technique is an electric
beam. Pikachu
is cute but it shrinks from fighting other monsters.
*grin* In another
short term he is timid. When it's trainer Satoshi
told Pikachu
to challenge Raichu (Pikachu's opponent), knowing
how strong Raichu
is, Pikachu asked Satoshi by gesture (he doesn't
speak) what would
he feel if he injures seriously.
Pikachu is a loser
at first in fighting it's opponent. After a battle and
being defeated
by Raichu, Pika decided to train himself for another
battle with Raichu.
After the 2nd battle, Raichu gave Pikachu a big
hand shake sincerely
but Pikachu scratched it's head in embarrassment.
*giggles* (You
should see how cute Pikachu looks ^_^)
The most strong
element that parents would like children to watch
this animation
program is that - the monsters battle, but no matter
what happened,
they won't kill their opponent. This animation is
humane.
Monsters strive to get stronger, yet are pure and friendly
to each other.
They are rivals only when they battle.
