Narrator: Soon after arriving in the Unova region, Ash, Pikachu, Riley and Meeko witnessed a foreboding shadow within a huge thunderstorm.

Riley: To which the lightning hits Pikachu.

Meeko, nodding: Lucario.

Narrator: Later, the siblings met, and Ash had a battle with a brand-new Pokémon trainer Trip.

Meeko, pointing to herself before punching the air: Lucario, Lucar, Cario.

Narrator: That's right. However, for some reason, Pikachu was unable to use any electric type moves during their battle losing to Trip and his Snivy. Suddenly, while Pikachu was being examined at Professor Juniper's lab, another thunderstorm suddenly appeared.

Riley: I wonder where it came from.

Meeko: Lucario.

Narrator: And then.....

"Pi-ka!" screamed Pikachu.

"Pikachu. No, Pikachu." shouted Ash.

"Pika-Pik! Cari!" shouted Riley and Meeko.

"Oshawott." Oshawott called out.

Electricity erupted from Pikachu's body, causing Meeko and the Ketchums to close their eyes as both Unova and Kanto Professors worked together to figure out what was wrong. "Ah!" they said as the buildup shocked them.

"The system." said Juniper. "It's on overload. The lab could be destroyed."

"All because of that lightning?" asked Professor Oak. "Could a legendary Pokémon from the Unova region be behind all of this?"

Zekrom screeched in the clouds that surrounded its body. "Pika-chu." Pikachu said, going down to his stomach.

"Pikachu, hang in there!" shouted Ash.

"Please! For me and Meeko!" shouted Riley.

"Lucario!" screamed Meeko. Ash grabs Pikachu who then shocks him. The lightning stops and the thunderstorm disappears once again. Ash falls to the ground, grunting as Delia and Riley rushes to him.

"Ash, no." said Delia.

"Ashy?" asked Riley, poking the boy.

"Pi...." said Pikachu as the sparks from his cheeks went away. Out of nowhere, power was restored to the lab.

"Huh?"

"We're back online?" questioned Professor Juniper.

"Ash dear, you alright?" asked Delia.

"How's the head?" asked Riley.

"Oshawott. Oshawott." Oshawott said, waving its arms in concern.

"I'm okay." said Ash. "Wait. Pikachu."

"Pika." said Pikachu, sitting up.

"How ya feeling, big brother?" Meeko asked.

"Pika. Pi...Pika!" said Pikachu, then tests out his electric moves. "Chu! Pika!"

"Pikachu." Ash exclaimed as the small family smiled. "Does that mean you're back to normal?"

"Pikachu!" Pikachu said, happily.

"Alright. Now, use Thunderbolt on me." said Ash.

"Say what now?" asked Riley.

"Cario?" asked Meeko.

"Pika-chu!" shouted Pikachu as he used Thunderbolt on Ash, who then groaned in pain.

"Wow. Nice shot." Ash told Pikachu. "Volt Tackle, go!"
