-We're going, too! -Yeah!

Check out all the Pikachu!

Wow, this must the place that Professor Cerise was telling us about before.

"We heard there was a Pikachu outbreak."

So, we were here in a flash!

Who knew the Twerps were flashier?

It's all for the better.

Not only do we get to catch a pile of prime Pikachu, we get the Twerp's, too!

Wait, are they looking for something?

Pika!

What's going on?

Hold on! That's a Thunder Stone!

Pikachu!

Rai, rai!

Wow, it evolved!

Now I understand.

When a Pikachu touches a Thunder Stone, it evolves into a Raichu.

That's it!

The Pikachu are all gathered here to search for Thunder Stones!

Awesome!

Pika!

Pika!

Pika! Pika!

Pika!

Pika!

Pika!

Stop it, buddy! Calm down!

Ah, Pikachu!

Rai, rai!

You didn't, did you?

It evolved?

Rai!

Well, it's not yours.

Looks that way.

Pika, pika!

But if Pikachu uses it, it'll get stronger, won't it?

I thought Pikachu wants to evolve?

No way.

My Pikachu has always wanted to get stronger as a Pikachu.

I'm sorry.

Since Pikachu feels that way, we don't need it. Thanks.

Pika...

Pika!

Hm? You're telling me you want me to have it?

Are you saying you don't want to use it either?

Pika!

-Pika... - Kachu.

Mine wants to stay the same, just like yours does.

Guess so.

I think it's the best thing for everyone to evolve when they want to.

Pikachu!
