Pikachu "Pika" (#025) Electric Static Jolly natured Alert to Sounds Height: 1'02 Weight: 11.5lbs
Pikachu, at times known as "Pika", is one of the first pokémon Red caught. They met in Viridian Forest, the place of Pikachu's birth and also where his community of pikachu lived. Before even meeting Red the pikachu was a competitive, fun-loving and cheeky soul, willing to get into scuffles and then rely on his fast feet to get him out of any trouble.
The two met when Pikachu decided to tease the trainer - and especially his mankey, Mandy. The still new team member was hardly going to let anyone tease her, definitely not a pikachu, and Red had no choice but to go chasing after the two through the forest. It took some bumbling around, and there was no chance of the mankey, rattata, nor Red's pidgey getting the pikachu.
What did get Pikachu, however, was Caterpie and Weedle's balls thrown out and string shots fired to trip over the pikachu. Aw yeah. A battle later, Pikachu was caught. The pidgey and caterpie were more than happy to have a good laugh at Pikachu, though the mankey had to be calmed down by Red so she didn't just beat up the guy the moment he came out of his ball.
Admittedly, the whole becoming a trainer's pokémon thing didn't sit well in Pikachu's stomach to begin with, especially when it meant leaving home (and when they left Viridian Forest, those butterflies were well in his stomach), but with Red's reassurances to the pokémon and some of his team mates teasing - and a few encouraging words from bulbasaur - the pikachu gave it a go. Why not! Maybe it'd be interesting.

» Weakness to ground based attacks » Resistant to flying/wind, steel, and electric based attacks
Pikachu is an electric-type pokémon, his electricity being stored inside his body and being released from the red pouches on his cheeks. As a fighter he is nimble in all meanings of the word; outspeeding, outwitting, and hitting as hard as possible is what this pokémon does well.
