Raichu

Lt. Surge's Raichu is Surge's only known Pokemon in the anime. Like Surge, Raichu was arrogant and very sure of its own strength, considering it to be Ash's Pikachu superior rival simply because it was its evolved form. During their first battle, Raichu creamed Pikachu effortlessly. However during their second battle, Raichu was overwhelmed by Pikachu's superior speed; because it had evolved so quickly it never learned Quick Attack or Agility, which were two of the moves Pikachu used to dodge and attack Raichu. After its defeat, Raichu grew to respect Pikachu.

==BiographyEditEdit==
Raichu as been with Volkner since Volkner was a young boy and Raichu was a Pikachu.
As a Pikachu, Raichu was once involved in a battle with a Houndoom used by a Pokemon Poacher. The Poacher appeared as well in the same episode as the flashback, which was Flint Sparks the Fire, and revealed that battling Volkner and Flint all those years ago had made him have a change of heart and he decided to stop Pokemon poaching.
Raichu was often seen outside his Poke Ball. He was shown to be very affectionate towards Flint, being about as close to him as Volkner was, and jumped into his arms for a hug. Despite being Volkner's main Pokemon, Raichu merely watched Volkner's battle with Ash instead of participating in it.
