Chapter 5 Analysis & Commentary

Deep, within the Viridian Forest, Jake has come across a wild Pikachu. “Pikachu’s are very popular Pokemon, I think I will catch it!” said Jake.

*Duunu-Duunu-Duuh!*

Wild Pikachu appeared!

Go Kakuna!

Kakuna used Poison Sting! Pikachu takes damage of 4!

Pikachu used Thundershock! … No effect!


Textwalling, to no effect!

Electricity tried to crackle out of the Pikachu’s cheek pouches, but they just poofed out smoke. The Pikachu looked down, and started to cry profusely. It put its head against a tree crying. “Alright, here’s my chance to catch it!”

Jake threw the Pokeball!

The Pokeball shook repeatedly. After 5 shakes, the Pokeball stood stationary.

Alright! Pikachu has been caught!


Basically, the Pikachu attempted to use Thundershock, but it failed to do so. As the Pikachu started crying at its lack of confidence in itself, Jake takes the opportunity to capture it.

Jake released Pikachu to heal it, the Pokemon was still crying. “What’s wrong Pikachu?” Jake asked. “Something’s wrong with your electricity. Try use Thundershock!” Pikachu attempted to attack with electricity, but its cheeks just crackled, and poofed smoke. “Oh no…” sighed Jake. Suddenly, his Pokedex started to buzz.
“This Pikachu’s Thundershock, is faulty.” Said the Pokedex.
“Faulty?” asked Jake to himself. Pikachu started to cry profusely. It put its head in its palms, crying into them. “Don’t worry Pikachu, I’ll do anything I can to help." Jake continued on towards the end of the forest.


Jake discovers the problem, Thundershock is Faulty. Now, Jake has a real challenge now that he's caught his first captured Pokemon... What could he do with a Pikachu that can't use electric attacks? He chose not to give up, though.

“Hey! Jake!” it was Adam!

“Hey man! I’ve caught a lot of cool Pokemon, lets battle!”

*Duunu-Duunu-Duuh!*

Pokemon Trainer Adam wants to fight!

Jake wins the match!

“Hmm, dumb luck…”


Dumb, annoying, long text walling, existing only to remind us again that Jake's Pikachu can't attack properly.

“So, your Pikachu can’t attack with electricity? Weak, dude.” Said Adam.
“I don’t know what to do.” Answered Jake. “I’m gonna see if the Nurse Joy in Pewter City will know anything.”
“Well, good luck with that! I’m gonna battle Brock at the gym, and quickly move on. I can’t wait til I have my Charizard!”
“See you later Adam, don’t be so cocky.” Adam walked away. 


Adam sure seems full of himself, don't he? He got what came to him, and he needed to learn to better himself.

Jake released Pikachu, who was still sobbing tears. “Pikachu, everything is going to be okay! At least its possible to attack!” Pikachu ignored Jake. “Pewter City isn’t far! You’ll be alright soon!” Pikachu did not listen to Jake. “Pikachu, STOP CRYING!” Jake screamed, as he started to cry with his Pokemon.

Well, if you had a Pikachu that couldn't stop crying like that, you'd start to cry as well.
