Everyone just stood where they were, trying to figure out what just happened. They just saw Mare-Do-Well, who they thought was Pinkie Pie, use a smoke pellet and disappeared from sight.

“That was strange,” Spike said, summing up everyone’s thoughts.

“Yeah, um do you girls want to watch another one?” Twilight asked, addressing her friends but looked at Pinkie the next moment. “We could watch the episode again if you want to see it, Pinkie,” Twilight said, being nice to her hyper friend.

“I can watch it later. Now start the next episode,” Pinkie said, bouncing towards the couch. The others just looked each other and shrugged helplessly. After they all took a seat on the couch, or cloud for somepony, Twilight pressed play on the remote.

Interlude
(*Cues: Invader - Jim Johnston*)

Wiz: When you think of an electric charged combatant, these two always come to mind. Pikachu, Ash's first Pokémon...

“Awwww~!” cooed Fluttershy when she saw the little yellow mouse.

Boomstick: ...and Blanka, the man-beast of Brazil.

“Now that’s a beast!” said Rainbow Dash after seeing the green beast.

Wiz: I'm Wizard and he's Boomstick, and it's our job to analyze their weapons, armor and skills, to find out who would win a Death Battle.

Pikachu
(*Cues: The Matter's Settled - Pokémon anime*)

Wiz: Standing barely over one foot tall, and weighing less than a newborn baby, Pikachu is the quick-footed electric mouse Pokémon, and the first under the command of Ash, a 10-year old trainer from Pallet Town, because you don't need puberty to travel the world by yourself.

“Awwwww!” everyone gushed once everypony got a good look at the electric mouse Pokemon.

“Look at it’s chubby red cheeks!” gushed Rarity.

“I bet starlight would love to see this!” Twilight said still wondering where her friend/student was.

We find our unlucky mare traveling through the forest with a look of annoyance on her face as she made her way towards the exit that would lead her back home.

“Finally i’m almost home,” Starlight said in relief as she walked closer towards her goal. But a large figure, a gray manticore ump out in front of her and much to Starlight’s amazement and annoyance it started to speak.

“Halt!” the Manticore bellowed. “Yon interlopers are trespassing on the ancient forest of the Everfree! If ye wish to make it out alive, first, ye must complete seven unworldly quest, each, more difficult than the--” but it’s speech was cut short as a boulder slammed into the mystic beast, courtesy of a annoyed Starlight Glimmer who was glaring daggers at the fool who dared waste her time.

“I got your quest right HERE!!!” screamed the mare as she slammed the boulder into the Manticore over and over again.

After venting out her anger starlight made her way towards the exit, not caring for the beaten beast that she left behind, and after a short walk Starlight was greeted to the site of the clear blue skies and the luscious green fields.

But more importantly she saw the town of Ponyville and the Castle of friendship in the distance.

“Finally I’m home.” Starlight said with tears of joy running down her face, and after wiping them away she soon started galloping her way towards her destination.

Boomstick: Pikachu is now Ash's most loyal and trusted companion, but he sure didn't start that way. He was actually, kind of a dick. Then again, if a 10-year old was trying to trap me in a tiny ball and make me fight other creatures to the death, I'd probably fuck him up too.

“I could understand that,” said Rainbow Dash. imagining doing the same thing if someone was trying to tame her.

Background
Height: 0.4 m / 1'4"
Weight: 6.0 kg / 13.2 Ibs
Ability: Static
Pokédex number 25
Dislikes his Pokéball
Likes ketchup
Can absorb and use more electric power than a normal Pikachu

Wiz: Being so small, Pikachu has low stamina and physical strength, but more than makes up for it with speed. However, his EV training was arbitrary and inconsistent.

“What?” everyone said, not understanding what Wiz said.

Boomstick: EV what now?

“Ya what Boomstick said.” commented Rainbow Dash.

Wiz: Effort Value training. Every time a Pokémon wins a battle, one of its abilities improve depending upon the opponent. Taking the first seasons of the show into account, we have compiled an estimation of Pikachu's statistics upon reaching his maximum level. By defeating so many Spearow early on, Pikachu's speed is off the charts.

Statistics
HP: 182 = Below average
Attack: 144 = Average
Defense: 108 = Below average
Sp. Attack: 123 = Average
Sp. Defense: 80 = Below average
Speed: 291 = Above average

“Oh ya! Another speedster!” cheered Dash.

“But it suffers by being a glass cannon though,” said Twilight.

(*Cues: Pokémon - Champion Red Remix*)

Boomstick: The little lightning rat isn't just quick. He's got two incredibly powerful weapons built into his face! Those aren't just rosy cheeks, they're electricity sacks, which he uses for attacks like his trademark Thunderbolt, and when that won't do the trick, he can use the extra-fast Quick Attack to surprise his foes, or Iron Tail, which turns his tail hard as steel. Electro Ball is a projectile that, for some reason, deals more damage the slower an opponent is. But when things get serious, he'll bust out his greatest attack. The Volt Tackle.

The group steared in awe as Pikachu starts accelerating at incredible speeds and is enveloped in a golden electric aura as he charges towards and slams against the enemy pokemon which creates a devastating impact.

“So cool!” cheered Pinkie Pie.

“That was so awesome!” Spike said with a starry eyed look.

Wiz: The Volt Tackle strikes with the force of a mouse-powered megaton warhead, but there's a catch. Pikachu receives recoil damage equaling 33% of the total damage dealt. This move cannot be used lightly.

“That seems like a very steep drawback,” Rarity commented. Seeing it as a last resort kind of attack.

Move Set
Thunderbolt
Type: Electric (Special Attack)
10% chance of paralyzing target

(*Cues: Pokémon - Gotta Catch 'Em All (Orchestra Version)*)

Boomstck: Well that's dumb. It's like, "Hey I can kill you, but I'm gonna blow off my arm!"

“So it’s more of a last resort move?” Spike asked Twilight who nodded.

“It seems like it but Pikachu needs to be careful with the recoil,” Twilight said, thinking the move can make or break the tiny mouse.

Ash: That's kinda weird.

Wiz: Regardless, Ash's Pikachu is astounding. He's like a living battery, weaponized. Not only can he discharge an enormous amount of power, he can also absorb electricity and use it against his foes. In fact, he can conduct more wattage than any normal Pikachu, making him one of the toughest of his kind.

“So he’s a cut above the rest of his kind.” said Applejack, impressed with the little guy.

“I know how that feels,” bragged Rainbow Dash, getting a few eye rolls from the group.

Feats
Strong against flying & water foes
Developed Thunder Armor move
Developed Counter Shield move
Developed spin dodge
Beat Drake's Dragonite with help
Defeated Brandon's Regice alone
Team Rocket's worst nightmare

Boomstick: Yeah, but he's got his limits, get too much electricity stored up and BOOM! No more Pikachu.

“Eeep!” squeaked Fluttershy. Turning green at the thought of Pikachu exploding.

Wiz: It's true. Pikachu is still a tiny mouse Pokémon with very clear limits. And even though he has long since reached his maximum potential, he refuses to evolve into the vastly superior Raichu due to some pretentious excuse of love and acceptance. What a waste of potential, can you imagine how powerful he could be as a Raichu?

Weaknesses
Small and fragile
Little solo battle experience
Susceptible to overcharge
Poor defenses against ground-based attacks
Weak special attacks against dragon, electric, grass, & ground foes
Refuses to evolve

“I agree! He would be able to eliminate a lot of his weaknesses if he evolved and got stronger,” Twilight afreed.

“Wonder why he doesn't after staying in that form for so long?” wondered Spike.

“For merchandise?” said a confused Pinkie Pie.

Boomstick: But Pikachu's accomplished quite a lot of impressive feats on his own. He's beaten legendary Pokémon and developed new fighting techniques like the Counter Shield and Midair Spin Dodge. He may be the size of a squirrel, but he's one tough fighter.

Pikachu: Pikachu!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The group had to admit for such a little guy, Pikachu was a tough little guy and some ponies like Fluttershy hoped he would win.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Blanka
(*Cues: Blanka's theme - Metal Cover*)

Wiz: As a child, Jimmy Blanka was a pale-skinned Brazilian boy. That is, until the horrific plane crash...

Boomstick: Like "Lost"!

“What’s Lost?” asked Spike.

“Sounds like something with an interesting setup but with a very disappointing ending,” deadpanned Pinkie Pie.

Wiz: Of which he was the sole survivor, stranded in the Amazon. Trapped in an area filled with dangerous predators, he was forced to camouflage himself day and night. After many years of this, his skin absorbed enough chlorophyll to turn a permanent green hue.

The group felt bad for Blanka having to go through that at such a young age.

“The poor dear…” Rarity said with a sadden voice.

Boomstick: Really? I always thought he was just some kind of jungle monster beast guy.

Background
Height: 1.92 m / 6'3.5"
Weight: 98 kg / 217 Ibs
Real name: James "Jimmy"
Hobbies: Hunting, electrical work
Previously pale skinned
Friends with Dan & Sakura
Survived in Amazon for years

Wiz: Despite his appearance, Blanka is actually extremely passive and gentle. However, piss him off and he enters an unstoppable bloodlust.

“That’s… extreme,” Applejack said.

“Well at least his time in the wild didn’t make him a hostel all the time,” added in Fluttershy.

Boomstick: Well, that seems like a pretty drastic change.

Wiz: But before he was old enough to fight the predators himself, he was forced to live off of electric eels as his primary food source. After years of this diet, he developed a high resistance to electricity and somehow gained the ability to produce similar electric shocks.

“B-but that’s scientifically impossible!” shouted Twilight.

“Uh-oh the egg head is cracking again,” said Rainbow Dash. worried that another want it need it situation might happen.

Boomstick: Be right back! Getting eels!

“No Boomstick NO!” shoutet Pinkie Pie.

“Yes Boomstick YES!” cheered Rarity, with a hopeful smile on her face.

Wiz: No, Boomstick, it doesn't work like that. Plus, we kind of have a show to do.

“Listen to your friend,” begged Fluttershy.

Boomstick: Fine, but afterwards, I'm proving you wrong.

“Go for it! I’m rooting for you!” Rarity said supportively, but her friends could tell the smile on her face was anything but kind.

Wiz: Okay. Blanka eventually found his way to civilization by complete accident, and found a friend in Dan Hibiki, the absolute worst Street Fighter on earth.

"I don't know who this Dan is, but he sounds disappointing" Twilight said with a flat look.

"He is a disgrace to the color pink." growled Pinkie.

(thank whiteoak019 for the joke.)

Boomstick: Ahh, Dan, couldn't get any real people friends, so you had to resort to jungle Frankenstein over here.

“That’s… pretty sad,” deadpanned Fluttershy in a dry tone.

Wiz: After arriving in the city, Blanka entered the second World Warrior Tournament, and discovered he was one of the most agile competitors there, leaping and ducking around his opponents with ease, like a jungle monkey, which is basically what he is.

The group was impressed with how agile the burly being was.

Boomstick: He uses a self-taught martial art which he learned while fighting...friggin' crocodiles and jaguars, that's what!

“Awsome!” Dash and Pinkie cheered with star struck looks in their eye’s.

“The poor animals…” whimpered out Fluttershy.

Wiz: He has several unique attacks, like the Beast Roll, with which he hurdles through the air like a bullet, obliterating all laws of physics.

Twilight’s eyes began to twitch at the blatant disrespect to physics.

Move Set
Amazon River Run
Rock Crusher
Electric Thunder
Beast Roll
Vertical Beast Roll
Backstep Beast Roll

Boomstick: I dunno which jaguar or crocodile taught him that move, but shit, I want it! That aside, he's also got a few super moves. The Ground Shave Roll is a chargeable spin attack, and with Shout of Earth Blanka can fire off a wave of uncontrollable electric energy. But you really gotta watch out for the Lightning Cannonball, where he rockets forward as spinning ball of electric death.

Blanka hits Balrog with Lightning Cannonball.

Announcer: K.O.!

The group were stunned by the deadly and flashy move and Fluttershy was getting a little worried for Pikachu’s chances at winning.

Super Moves
Grand Shave Roll
Chargeable spin attack
Shout of Earth
Can electrify the ground or shoot a bolt straight up
Lightning Cannonball
Electric spin attack

Wiz: Blanka is a deadly fighter and obviously an extremely tough survivor. However, his greatest weakness comes from his lack of formal training. In fact, the only training he's ever had was under the tutelage of...guess...

Boomstick/everyone: Don't say it...

Wiz: Dan Hibiki.

Everyone face hoofed at the extreme misfortune of being trained by that loser.

Boomstick: That's like anti-training.

“That poor son of a gun,” said Applejack, Feeling bad for poor blanka.

Weaknesses
Preferably docile
Susceptible to cold
Never won a tournament
Only formal training came from Dan Hibiki (the worst Street Fighter character by far.)

Wiz: And yet, he has proven his combat skills time and time again. Though he did not win the World Warrior Tournament, he was picked from hundreds to represent Brazil, and through it, rediscovered his mother and hometown. At long last, Blanka had come home.

The group shed a few tears of joy when they saw the scene of Blanka hugging his mother after so many years of being separated from each other.

Feats
Grew up alone in the Amazon
Honed skills against predators
Found his long-lost family
Local hero
Represented Brazil in the second World Warrior tournament
Immune to most viruses

Boomstick: Most terrifying family reunion ever.

“Still sweet though,” Rarity said wiping away a few tears.

The group smiled warmly as they saw Blanka plays and jumps around with children while he laughs.

Wiz: Alright, the combatants are set. Let's end this debate once and for all.

Boomstick: It's time for a Death Battllllleeeee!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

On team Pikachu: Fluttershy.

Team Blanka: everyone else.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Death Battle
(*Cues: Pokémon - Lance Battle Final (Remastered)*)

Pikachu and Blanka face each other in a forest, presumably the Amazon.

FIGHT!

Blanka attacks Pikachu and knocks him backwards. Pikachu then jumps back and attacks him with a Thunderbolt, but no dice.

“Uh-oh,” whimpered Fluttershy.

Blanka/Rainbow Dash: "Not good enough!"

Blanka attacks Pikachu with a Beast Roll, and knocks the electric mouse out of the air and down to the ground, but Pikachu quickly gets back on his feet and charges at Blanka with a Quick Attack, flying by him numerous times and then hitting him head on.

“The little guys determin I’ll give him that,” complemented Applejack.

“But let’s see how far that takes him,” said Twilight.

Pikachu follows it up by quickly jumping back into the air, and starts to spin as he hits Blanka in the head with an Iron Tail. He then charges at Blanka, picks him up and starts to roll him backwards to throw him upwards, only for Blanka to quickly get back down and do the same.

“It’s pretty even right now,” commented Spike.

However, just before Pikachu hits the ground, Blanka uses his Electric Thunder move to attack Pikachu, but Pikachu retaliates with a Thunder attack.

“Nice move but his electricity based attacks aren't doing the full damage against Blanka,” stated Rainbow Dash.

(*Cues: Street Fighter IV - Survive the Jungle (Blanka's Theme)*)

Blanka is knocked backwards, while Pikachu lands on his feet, and quickly follows it up with another Thunderbolt, but Blanka simply blocks it again and charges at Pikachu with another Beast Roll. Pikachu charges at him as well, but uses the midair spin dodge technique to go right by him.

“That was some quick thinking!” awed Rarity, impressed with Pikachu’s quick thinking.

Blanka stops rolling, wondering where his opponent went as Pikachu charges up and fires an Electro Ball. Blanka looks through his legs behind him, only to get hit by the attack and fall down.

“Yay~!” cheered Fluttershy thinking that Pikachu had just one.

(*Cues: Burning Battlefield - Pokemon Anime*)

Pikachu gives a peace sign as Blanka jumps back up and rockets forward at Pikachu with a Lightning Cannonball, to which Pikachu attacks back with a Volt Tackle.

‘This is it!’ everyone thought as they saw the two moves collide.

The attacks collide and electricity is flying everywhere. The camera zooms in to see both Pikachu and Blanka firmly keeping their attacks going.

The group leaned in wondering who would win this battle of power.

But soon after, Blanka grabs Pikachu and bites his head off much to Fluttershy’s horror. Blanka then pulls out a blender and puts the rest of Pikachu's body in it. The man-beast drinks what's been made, belches (with a few sparks in it), and then starts scratching his chin.

K.O.!

The group was stun at the unusual victory. But most of them snapped out of it when they noticed Fluttershy glaring at the screen.

“Sugarcube calm down before you do something reckless,” warned Applejack. But her effort was for not, as Fluttershy flew towards the tv, fully intent on breaking it.

“GET HER!” screamed Rainbow Dash as everyone quickly dogpiled on the yellow mare and held her down but the usually shy mares strength was proving to be to much for the group.

“PLUSHIE!” Spike yelled to Twilight who used her magic to grab the Doomguy plushie and have go in front of Fluttershy and giving her a hug, calming her down and making her hug it back.

“Yey. unconditional love,” said the yellow mare as she hugged her Plushie hader.

The rest of the group sighed in relief as they all got up and went back to their seats.

(thank Alphamon_Ouryuken for the joke.)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Results
(*Cues: Pitch-Black Jungle - Street Fighter IV*)

Boomstick: You know, I've always wanted to eat a Pokémon. What? They look delicious!

Spike secretly agreed.

Wiz: Pikachu may be powerful, but he can't compete with Blanka's ruthless skill.

“Blanka just wouldn't give him the breathing room,” Spike stated.

Boomstick: Even though Pikachu was clearly quicker on his feet, his attacks had little effect. Blanka can resist the electric attacks, and the Iron Tail's a steel-type move, which, as we all know, is weak against electricity. Pikachu's only option was to outmatch Blanka's physical strength and stamina, which was just too much for the little guy.

Fluttershy just held her Plushie closer after thinking about the brutal battle that just happened.

Wiz: And despite keeping a clear head, Pikachu rarely shows any exemplary competence or aptitude on his own. Many of his greatest achievements are actually a result of his trainer's quick thinking or downright luck.

“If he was able to act more independently he might of won,” Twilight theorized.

Boomstick: Everything was going well, until Pikachu lost his head.

“Even I found that in poor taste,” commented Pinkie Pie dryly.

Wiz: The winner is Blanka.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Boomstick: Next time on Death Battle.

Everything was dark and nothing is happening.

"Is the tv broken?" Rainbow Dash asks.

But before anyone could respond, they started to hear unfamiliar chanting.

???: Kaaaaaaaaaa meeeeeeeeee haaaaaaaaaa meeeeeeeeee-

They see the light starting to brighten up as they also see something that is forming a shape but can't make it out clearly enough.

???: HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!

The light burst even brighter and they now see a symbol that is an emerald shape with the letter "S" inside it. The screen fades to white and complete silence.

Until the silence was broken by our two host.

Boomstick: HOLY FUCKING SHIT!

Wiz: OH MY GOD!

Boomstick: SOMEONE GET ME A MOTHERFUCKING TABLE TO FLIP!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Well that was something,” Spike said, walking over to the box.

“Yeah, I’m just glad that nothing bad happened,” Twilight said, looking back at Fluttershy who was hugging her Doomguy plushie. She repressed a shudder at the thought of Fluttershy about to blow up.

“Yupper runny. Now let’s see what’s inside….” Pinkie said, moving her hoof to the box as the top moved a bit. Pinkie stopped and tilted her head to the side.

“Um, is something wrong?” Fluttershy asked, wondering why Pinkie stopped.

“I think the box moved,” Pinkie said, not sure of what was going on.

Twilight rolled her eyes and said, “Sure it did, Pinkie. Now can you open the box.”

Pinkie was about to say something when Fluttershy few towards the box and slowly lifted the lid. Fluttershy took a look inside as the lid flew off, making her back off a bit. After a moment of waiting, they saw a small yellow and black thing jump out of the box and land in front of Fluttershy.

The thing had a pale yellow coat with a black tip ears and a black tail with pink cheeks. It’s tail was black and bent as it moved around. The creature looked around then looked at Fluttershy before walking over to her. Fluttershy’s eyes went wide as the creature stopped a foot in front of her and waved at her.

“Chu~” cooed the little creature. Trying to get the young mares attention.

Fluttershy picked up the little critter and hugged it as it hugged her back.

“What is that?” Rarity asked, confused just like the others. As she said that, the box glowed while Twilight looked inside and saw a thin red rectangular object with a glowing blue center. Picking it up, Twilight looked at it and said, “What’s this?”

The object extends and said, “Pichu, the Tiny Mouse Pokémon. A pre-evolved form of Pikachu. Despite their size, Pichu release bursts of electricity that can shock even humans. However, Pichu are unskilled at controlling their electricity, and sometimes release it by accident when surprised, or when laughing and shock themselves.” it explained before folding back up.

Fluttershy stopped hugging the Pichu as she looked at it and said, “You’re a pokemon? Yay.”

“And this is some kind of device that has information on Pokemon,” Twilight said, before she was hit with a paper ball. Unraveling it, she said, “And it’s called a Pokedex. …...Dibs.”

“Seriously, you girls get the good stuff. Please let there be something good in there,” Rainbow said, flying to the box. She was a bit disappointed to find comics, a few mangas and a red hat with goggles on them.

“I’ll take the hat, if you don’t mind. I have an outfit that this would go well with this,” Rarity said, picking up the hat and putting it on her head.

“Guess i’ll take some more comics,” Rainbow grumble as the rest of them divide the comics and mangas evenly. Pinkie took some of the Pokemon mangas as Rainbow and Applejack took the Street fighter comics and Spike had a few of each.

“Well girls, I guess i’ll see you tomorrow for the next episode,” Twilight said, sitting on the couch to try the pokedex.

“Alright Twi, we’ll see you later,” Applejack said, walking towards the door. She was just about to open the door when it slammed open causing everyone to jump out of the way or in freight. After their hearts calmed down, they saw their friend Starlight Glimmer standing their with her mane a mess and her coat dirty.

“I’m back!” Starlight yelled as her friend all ran to her and gave her a hug.

“Starlight, we’re so glad to see you,” Pinkie said, giving her a bear hug.

“I figured Pinkie. Now please let me go, you’re starting to hurt me,” Starlight said, feeling the hug starting to hurt.

“OK,” Pinkie said, letting go of Starlight and causing her to land on shaky hooves. As Starlight straightened herself up, Twilight walked forward and gently wrapped her hooves around Starlight’s neck while a few tears ran down her face.

“I was so worried,” Twilight said, as Starlight returned her hug.

“Well I’m back so you don’t need to anymore,” Starlight said, gently nuzzling her friend. After a few moments, Starlight separated and said, “You won’t believe the time I had getting here.”

“Um Starlight, why didn’t you just teleport here?” Twilight asked, causing Starlight’s eyes to twitch.

“Yeah and why didn’t you fly? You could have gotten here faster than walking,” Rainbow said, causing Starlight’s eyes to twitch even more.

Starlight just stood there, twitching violently as her friends were getting worried.

“You okay, Starlight?” Twilight said as Starlight just fell to the floor in a twitching mess. With her friend on the floor, Twilight used her magic to lift her up and said, “Let’s get you in a bed,” while walking up stairs to her room.
