Chapter 158 Raichu the Electric Mouse

"Hahaha……"

The hairstyle of Pikachu changed because Teacher Shi casually rubbed its cheeks. The students burst into laughter, even though they had just been saying not to touch their faces.

The very next minute he personally demonstrated it, truly a role model for brave men!

"Alright, let's continue introducing Raichu."

After resting for about 30 seconds, the teacher began explaining Raichu's various characteristics. He seemed to have recovered, though his hair was still the same spiky style.

Raichu is a bipedal rodent-like Pokémon. Raichu's fur is dark orange all over, with a white belly.

Like Pikachu, Raichu has two brown stripes on its back. Its long, thin black tail ends in an electric-shaped, flat, and yellow tip.

Unlike Pikachu, it doesn't have fingers; instead, it has round, brown paws. Below its small black eyes are yellow electric sacs.

In short, it's a mouse without fingers.

Its feet are large and brown. The soles are beige with three toes, and there are pale yellow fleshy bumps on the heels.

Its forked ears are brown on the outside and yellow on the inside, with a curled section at the tip. The female's tail is missing a small portion at the tip.

The Alolan Raichu has dark brown fur, white hands and feet, and a more rounded body. Its yellow ears are smoother than those of any Raichu discovered so far, and they curl inside.

Scientific evidence suggests that the differences between the two locations, Raichu, are most likely due to factors such as climate and regional environment.

Its eye color changed from black to a gradient from blue to yellow, and its nose also became a lighter color. The yellow on its power sac and the tip of its tail became brighter, and its tail became smoother and longer than before, so it could be used as a surfboard.

However, Raichu from the Alola region, in addition to its Electric-type typing, also has a Psychic-type typing.

Raichu is very rare because many trainers prefer its pre-evolution Pikachu form.

Its long tail acts like a grounding wire, protecting it from even high-voltage electricity. Its entire body constantly emits a faint electrical current, giving it a luminous appearance in the dark.

Its electric shock power reaches up to 100,000 volts, capable of stunning opponents several times its own size in one strike. Its power is so great that even a bronze elephant can be stunned with a single blow.

When the electrical charge in its body accumulates to a certain level, its muscles will be stimulated, and its personality will become aggressive, even if the trainer is not careful.

This is probably the downside of Electric-type Pokémon. However, if a trainer actually owns an Electric-type Pokémon, it won't approach them when it's fully charged, unless they frequently help it discharge its electricity.

There's also a theory that electricity is actually its pressure. When the electrical sacs in the cheeks reach their maximum capacity, both ears will stand up straight.

At this time, it will also discharge electricity by keeping its tail close to the ground, so there will be scorched marks on the ground near the nest. If the electric sac is empty, it will raise its tail straight up to collect the current in the air.

Pikachu only evolves into Alolan Raichu in the Alola region. Researchers have no idea why Raichu's appearance changes in the Alola region.

This is believed to be due to the influence of the climate, soil, and food of the Alora region.

Its favorite food is the Alola Secret Pancake, which some suspect is closely related to the secrets of its evolution.

The people of Alora, however, nonchalantly remarked, "Isn't it because we ate round pancakes?"

However, some people have experimented by sending Pikachu from other regions to the Alola region to evolve. The result was still only Raichu, an Electric-type Pokémon.

Conversely, in the Alola region, from birth to evolution, its appearance remains that of an Alolan Pikachu. There have even been experiments where pregnant Pikachu were brought to the region to lay eggs, resulting in the final evolved form, Raichu, which is not an Alolan Raichu.

This led people to believe that only native Alola Pokémon possessed the unique Alola region form.

Alolan Raichu possesses the ability to manipulate psychic powers, allowing it to control electricity with telekinesis and attack opponents with a star-shaped Thunderbolt.

It rides on its tail, which is imbued with spiritual power, and uses this power to float and glide, earning it the nickname "Land Surfer".

Its cheeks contain electric sacs; rubbing these sacs releases a sweet aroma that smells like muffins, but also causes a slight numbing sensation.

Although the underlying principles remain unclear, it is speculated to be related to the spiritual power possessed by Raichu. Therefore, such experimental projects are still ongoing. However, the results have not been as desired.

Looking at the Raichu in front of him, Xuan Mingtian unconsciously scanned it with the data panel.

雷丘

Attribute: Electric

Characteristic: Static Electricity (Its body occasionally carries static electricity, which can sometimes paralyze any Pokémon or player who comes into contact with it. In battle, contact with the opponent or contact-type moves by the user have a chance to paralyze the opponent.)

Qualification: Yellow

Strength: Early Elite

Skills: Electric Shock, Thunderbolt, Volt Slam, Thunder Punch, Electric Terrain...

Evaluation: A fairly average Raichu. Unless nourished by life energy, its highest potential is only Elite High.

Looking at the data on the panel, Xuan Mingtian suddenly realized that Teacher Shi had captured the strongest members of the Pikachu clan to teach, which explained why the academy had so many free-range Pokémon.

It seems the Pokémon identification teacher deserves some credit, in Xuan Mingtian's eyes. There are no weakest Pokémon, only trainers who don't know how to train them.

"Class, that concludes our explanation of this sprite. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have."

The teacher's words pulled Xuan Mingtian back to the lesson. He didn't really have any questions. After all, he already knew most of this knowledge about spirits from his previous life.

"Teacher, if I had a Pikachu, would my cell phone and laptop never run out of power?"

At that moment, Bai Wu, who was not far away, also raised his question, since having a portable power bank would be quite cost-effective for anyone.

"Bai Wu, your idea isn't wrong. But having an Electric-type Pokémon doesn't mean you have unlimited power. After all, the electricity they generate needs to be matched with the corresponding voltage; you can't just blindly let it charge your appliances..."

"But having an Electric-type Pokémon is like having an infinitely powerful power bank, isn't it?"

Before the teacher could finish speaking, Bai Wu interrupted him. This greatly annoyed Pikachu and Raichu, who were standing on the platform. "What the hell? Is he using us as power banks?"

Then, a bolt of lightning erupted from Raichu's finger and shot towards Baiwu. In a tenth of a second, his hairstyle became exactly the same as his teacher's.
