Rainbooms Watches My Favorite Death Battle Episodes!
Chapter 11: Pikachu vs Blanka
Previous Chapter Next ChapterPikachu vs Blanka
“Hey guys, this next one is the last episode of season 1.” Sunset announced.
“Damn, never thought we ended the season so quickly.” Rainbow Dash surprised.
“Remember, these episodes are just his favorites, not the whole list.” Flash reminded her before the next Death Battle episode starts.
Wiz: When you think of an electric charged combatant, these two always come to mind. Pikachu, Ash's first Pokémon.
“Aw, that little yellow one is so cute.” Fluttershy awed of the yellow creature.
Boomstick: And Blanka, the man-beast of Brazil.
“A green beast-man, this should be interesting.” Applejack said.
“I wonder how many greens he has to eat to look like that?” Pinkie asked curious.
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
Everyone also thought of this Pikachu being cute like Fluttershy though also thought if this little creature is going to be in Death Battle, then this Pikachu must be strong despite its little size.
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 ten-year-old trainer from Pallet Town, because you don't need puberty to travel the world by yourself.
“What kind of fuck up world let’s ten-year-old kids travel the world on their own, that is mess up!” Twilight snapped.
“Twilight, did you just… cursed?” Spike shocked.
“I did, even I have limits.” Twilight admitted.
Background
Height: 0.4 m/1’4”
Weight: 6.0 kg/132 lbs.
Ability Static
Pokedex number 25
Dislike his Pokeball
Likes Ketchup
Can absorb and use more electric power than a normal Pikachu
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.
“Sometimes, trying to make a new friend doesn’t always start cheerfully and such.” Sunset exclaimed, remembering how she didn’t have even one friend when she first came to this world.
Boomstick: Then again, if a ten-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.
“So, these Pokemons travel with their trainers and fight other Pokemons. Not sure if I approve, but their world, their laws.” Applejack shrugged.
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 arbitriary and inconsistent.
Boomstick and Rainbow Dash: EV-what now?
Wiz: Effort Value training. Every time a Pokémon wins a battle, one of its abilities improve depending upon the opponent.
“Oh, so if it thought an ultra-powerful pokemon then it becomes stronger.” Rainbow Dash guessed as she looks at Twilight.
“Probably.” Twilight said.
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
Wiz: aking 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.
“Whoa, talk about early XP level up!” Rainbow Dash surprised.
“Must have been a tough battle for a little cutie.” Rarity said.
Boomstick: The little lightning rat isn't just quick. He's got two incredibly powerful weapons built into his face!
“Is he talking about those red circle things on its’ cheeks?” Spike asked.
Move Set
Thunderbolt: Type: Electric (Special Attack), 10% chance of paralyzing targets.
Thunder: Type: Electric (Special Attack), 30% chance of paralyzing targets, Low accuracy
Quick Attack: Type: Normal (Physical Attack), Increase priority over opponent’s attack
Iron Tail: Type: Steel (Physical Attack), 10% chance of lowering target defenses
Electro Ball: Type: Electric (Special Attack), Deals more damage to slower targets
Volt Tackle: Type Electric (Physical Attack), Deals 33% recoil damage to Pikachu, 10% chance of paralyzing target
Boomstick: Those aren't just rosy cheeks, they're electricity sacks, which he uses for attacks like his trademark Thunderbolt.
“Oh, good to know.” Spike said.
Boomstick: 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.
“My, Pikachu has a lot of strong moves.” Fluttershy surprised.
“Like zapping someone into a coma.” Pinkie said.
“Depending on how strong its electric attacks are, that’s probably the case.” Twilight wondered Pikachu’s body can even contain pure electric energy at all.
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.
Boomstick: Well, that's dumb. It's like, "Hey I can kill you, but I'm gonna blow off my arm!"
Ash: That's kinda weird.
“And dangerous, try to think more of Pikachu’s well-being.” Fluttershy scolded.
Wiz: Regardless, Ash's Pikachu is astounding. He's like a living battery, weaponized.
“Yeah, an electric danger mouse.” Flash commented.
Feats
Strong against Flying and 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
Wiz: 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.
“That could mean it would power up an entire building or a city block.” Twilight amazed.
Boomstick: Yeah, but he's got his limits, get too much electricity stored up and BOOM! No more Pikachu.
“That doesn’t sound very good.” Fluttershy feared.
“Don’t worry, I’m sure Ash knows when to give Pikachu a checkup every once and a while.” Flash assured.
Weakness
Small and Fragile
Little Solo Battle Experience
Susceptible to Overcharge
Poor Defense against Ground-based Attacks
Weak Special Attacks against Dragon, Electric, Grass, and Ground Foes
Refuses to Evolve
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?
“Huh, so those Pokemons can also evolve into new forms.” Rarity interested.
“But it doesn’t look like all of them wants to evolve, Pikachu sure doesn’t.” Flash pointed out.
“I think Pikachu wants to prove that it can be the strongest Pokemon without having to evolve.” Pinkie believed.
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.
“It sure is, Boomstick. It sure is.” Pinkie nodded.
Pikachu: Pikachu!
Blanka
“Okay, what’s the story on jungle man here?” Rainbow Dash asked.
Wiz: As a child, Jimmy Blanka was a pale-skinned Brazilian boy. That is, until the horrific plane crash...
Boomstick: Like "Lost"!
Wiz: f which he was the sole survivor, stranded in the Amazon.
“You really should joke about these sorts of things, Boomstick.” Rarity said.
Background
Height: 1.92m/6’3.5”
Weight: 98kg/217lbs
Real Name: James “Jimmy”
Hobbies: Hunting, electrical Work (Everyone surprised)
Previously Pale Skinned
Friends with Dan and Sakura
Survived in Amazon for Years
Wiz: 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.
“Surviving alone in the jungle must’ve been pretty hard on the guy.” Applejack said, feeling sad for Blanka.
“I know I would feel sad if I ever got lost and alone without my friends or family.” Pinkie stated.
“At least we now know why he’s skin is green.” Sunset said.
Boomstick: Really? I always thought he was just some kind of jungle monster beast guy.
“Can’t judge a book by its cover.” Rarity said.
Wiz: Despite his appearance, Blanka is actually extremely passive and gentle. However, piss him off and he enters an unstoppable bloodlust.
Boomstick: Well, that seems like a pretty drastic change.
“That could be a problem if he met some bad people.” Fluttershy worried.
Wiz: But before he was old enough to fight the predators himself, he was forced to live off 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.
“Can that really work?” Flash asked, taking interest in this.
“Don’t even think about it, Flash. Eating doesn’t really give you electric powers, who would be stupid enough to try that?” Sunset asked.
Boomstick: Be right back! Getting eels!
“Of course, he would.” Sunset sighed.
Wiz: No, Boomstick, it doesn't work like that. Plus, we kind of have a show to do.
Boomstick: Fine, but afterwards, I'm proving you wrong.
“Doubtful.” Sunset and Twilight said at the same time.
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.
Boomstick: Ah, Dan. Couldn't get any real people friends, so you had to resort to jungle Frankenstein over here.
“A loser pink wearing guy and a loner jungle man, pretty weird friendship if you ask me.” Rainbow Dash commented.
“I think it’s great that Blanka found one human friend after so long.” Fluttershy believed.
“But the guy is funny looking with the pink gi.” Flash chuckled.
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.
“And now, he shall be King of the Concrete Jungle!” Pinkie said like a wrestling announcer.
Move Set
Amazon River Run
Rocket Crusher
Electric Thunder
Beast Roll
Vertical Beast Roll
Backstep Beast Roll
Boomstick: He uses a self-taught martial art, which he learned while fighting...friggin' crocodiles and jaguars, that's what!
“Okay, now that is awesome!” Rainbow Dash amazed.
“Guess you gotta do what you gotta do to survive.” Applejack said.
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.
Boomstick: I dunno which jaguar or crocodile taught him that move, but shit, I want it!
“Me too!” Rainbow Dash and Pinkie agreed.
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
Boomstick: 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 uncontrolable 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 the Lightning Cannonball.)
Announcer: K.O.!
“Now that’s what I call rolling over!” Spike said waging his tail.
Wiz: Blanka is a deadly fighter and obviously an extremely tough survivor.
“Tough enough to show everyone his beast side.” Sunset commented.
Weakness
Preferably Docile
Susceptible to Cold
Never Won a Tournament
Only Formal Training came from Dan Hibiki
Wiz: 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: Don’t say it…
Wiz: Dan Hibiki.
Boomstick: That's like anti-training.
“Yeah, I wouldn’t want to be caught dead training with a loser like him.” Rainbow Dash insulted the man in pink.
“He could have at least ditched the pink. It doesn’t go well with him at all.” Rarity complained on the man’s fashion sense.
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
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.
Boomstick: Most terrifying family reunion ever.
“I think it’s very sweet that Blanka found his mom.” Fluttershy said with a single tear forming from her eye.
“Bet they had a big reunion party too.” Pinkie would like to do that for Blanka.
(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 BATTLE!!!
Pikachu and Blanka face each other in a forest, presumably the Amazon.
“Go, Pikachu! I choose you!” Fluttershy cheered.
“What was that for?” Rarity asked.
“I don’t know, it just felt right for some reason.” Fluttershy confused of herself as well.
Fight
Blanka attacks Pikachu and knocks it backwards. Pikachu then jumps back and attacks him with a Thunderbolt, but no dice.
Blanka: Not good enough!
“Blanka can take in the electric, I wonder Pikachu will fight in this situation?” Flash wondered.
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 its feet and charges at Blanka with a Quick Attack, flying by him numerous times and then hitting him head on.
“Now that’s what I call Whack-A-Mole!” Pinkie joked.
Pikachu follows it up by quickly jumping back into the air, and starts to spin as it hits Blanka in the head with an Iron Tail. It 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.
However, just before Pikachu hits the ground, Blanka uses his Electric Thunder move to attack Pikachu, but Pikachu retaliates with a Thunder attack which causes them to send flying from each other.
“So far, the little guy is doing great against the jungle man.” Rainbow Dash impressed.
“Their electric attacks can’t hurt each other; this will be a tough one to see.” Sunset proclaimed.
Blanka is knocked backwards, while Pikachu lands on its 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.
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.
“Oh, electro ball right in the butt.” Flash winced.
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.
“A final clash of electric power!” Applejack gasped.
The attacks collide together, and electricity is flying everywhere. The camera zooms in to see both Pikachu and Blanka firmly keeping their attacks going. But soon after, Blanka grabs Pikachu and bites its head off. 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.
KO
Everyone’s jaws drop of just witnessing what appears to be the most odd and brutal way of one killing an opponent in a death match.
“Fluttershy, are you gonna be okay?” Applejack asked.
“I… I think so.” Fluttershy said before her cheeks puff up almost like she’s about to vomit but manages to hold it down.
Boomstick: You know, I've always wanted to eat a Pokémon. What? They look delicious!
“Please, don’t say such awful things.” Fluttershy begged whispering as Rarity comforts her.
Wiz: Pikachu may be powerful, but he can't compete with Blanka's ruthless skill.
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.
“Let’s not forget that Blanka is a strong survivor, spending years living in the jungle means he can take whatever Pikachu could throw at him.” Sunset mentioned.
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.
“So, Pokemons can fight well when on their own, but better than they have trainers to help them use their attacks in a more affective way.” Twilight figured out.
Boomstick: Everything was going well, until Pikachu lost his head.
Fluttershy groans hard from the awful pun, not liking how Pikachu was treated as food in the end.
Wiz: The Winner is Blanka.
“I wonder what kind of Pokemon would I be like, I certainly like having Twilight as my partner.” Spike cuddled his head on Twilight’s cheek making her giggle.
“And I would be proud to have you as my Pokemon partner.” Twilight smiled, hugging her fateful dog.
“Hey Sunset, would it be alright if I go home for today. I like I need some cuddling with Angel.” Fluttershy suggested.
“Yeah, we just clear the first favorite season episode. So, I think we should call it a day and watch the next one tomorrow.” Sunset agreed.
“Yeah, I should be going too. Still got some chores back at the farm.” Applejack said before she and the others got up.
Everyone says their goodbyes leaving Flash and Sunset alone in the house.
“Damn, that Death Battle show sure is awesome to watch. I can’t wait to see what other episodes we’ll watch.” Flash excited.
“Me too. It’s nice to watch some dangerous like that, not to mentioning learning some interesting things too.” Sunset smiled.
“Yeah, those characters with their own superpowers and skills were really cool!” Flash commented.
“Right, those are what I meant.” Sunset giggled making Flash confuse a little.
