"Well, we probably wouldn't have said no..." Ash shrugs. Pikachu side-eyes him for that comment but stays quiet.

"Oh! I'm a Pokemon Trainer! It's my job to catch and train as many Pokemon as I can to be the best that they can be. Where I'm from, when you turn ten you can get your trainer's license and get your first Pokemon. You can choose between a Fire Type, a Grass Type, and a Water Type. On the day I got mine, I over slept and ended up with Pikachu. It's okay though-we wouldn't have it any other way, right buddy?"

"Pika!" Pikachu happily agreed.
