Raichu

*"I'll admit, when we first met, I had my doubts about you! What with all the electric powers and such, but you've proven yourself to be more than capable. You're a model example of what every Pokemon should be and an example for the younger Toons around here. Keep up the good work and remember: **A true hero doesn't need any fancy powers, just a good heart**. That's something that you, Master Raichu, will never lack." - Mr. Herriman's inspirational quote to Raichu, "Yumby Yumby Yum Yum", Season 8, Episode 7*

Raichu is a mainstay member of the trio, along with Wakko and Scotch. He is also one of the main characters.

## Life prior to meeting Wakko

*This section was revamped due to some new info being leaked. The info has been shortened, but you can view the full diary here.*

Sometime after Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, Professor Oak wanted to make a non-mythical talking Pokemon, and he started small with a Pichu egg. By injecting a special DNA strand in said egg, Oak was able to create a talking Pichu that learned English as it ages. As the Pichu aged, Oak decided to raise it like a son, teaching it the ways of a hero, while also giving it the nurture it needs.

Soon after, the Pichu evolved into a fully grown Raichu that spoke like a charmer, and Oak couldn't be more proud. However, he made the foolish mistake of giving this Raichu to his grandson, Gary. Gary treated the Raichu like a tool, even going as far as starving it. On the 23 of May, 2019, Gary abandoned Raichu in the pouring Viridian City rain, not giving a single care for its well being. When Oak found out, he went to find the Raichu, broken both mentally and physically, and he was infuriated with Gary, all the while feeling guilty for giving someone as cruel his own creation.

For the Raichu's safety, Oak sent the Raichu to live with his cousin in Alola, all the while giving Gary his comeuppance. During the time Raichu was in Alola, he was still skeptical, but slowly made his way at home in the sunny climate. Since he worked as a teacher, Samson thought it would be a good idea to show Raichu to his students at the Pokemon School. While all of his students were impressed, Ash's Pikachu was a bit skeptical, but he slowly warmed up to Raichu.

Over the span of 10 days, Samson made many new discoveries with the Raichu, including his love of pizza, his fondness of cartoons, even his own creativity (Samson was surprised to see a perfect sand recreation of SpongeBob's pineapple home by Raichu). As with regional variants, Raichu began to show a personality as that of Daffy Duck, but he retained his heart of gold (as shown with him using his Toon-like abilities to foil a scheme by Team Rocket).

When it came time for Raichu to head back to Kanto, Samson gave him a trip to one of his favorite places: Poni Canyon. After a day of sightseeing, Raichu was sent back to Kanto, where Oak gave him a special gift: a device that allowed him to understand other Pokemon (Raichu was ecstatic, and began talking to many wild Pikachu). Then after 8 years of living with Oak, Raichu moved out (but not before giving Oak a painting of his many adventures), went on to find a steady job, and the rest is history.

## Gags and routines

### Poke Ball Bit

Raichu will toss a Poké Ball at the foe to try to catch him. If it succeeds, Raichu puts the foe in a PC until he decides to let him out. If it fails, he’ll clobber the foe with a Snorlax.

### Raichu as Destructor

Raichu's all time favorite gag is when the villain hurts him deeply (bleeding for example), he'll go full on big baby and cry, with the foe trying to calm him down, however, passersby will get angry at the foe and call him a brute for making the kid cry.

### Raichu and Red Bull

Never, and I mean **NEVER** give Raichu any Red Bull. If he guzzles it down, even a drop, he will go full on Looney Tune and bounce all over the walls, causing heavy damage to any foe in the way, while shouting, "**HOO! WOO-HOO!**" repeatedly.

## Raichu Language

Raichu, along with speaking proper and perfect English, can speak his native language, officially called Raichunese.

The only 2 words are, unsurprisingly, "Rai" & "Chu", but there are limitless scripts depicting events written in Raichunese, possibly by some ancient tribe of Raichus, maybe made to avoid thiefs.

## Raichu's Scrapbook

Raichu has a scrapbook of (mainly edited) photos. You can view some here.

## Trivia

* When agitated, his ears stand on end.
* it has been rumored that since all the rest of Raichu's species (except for him and a select few) were wiped off by mass hunting (Long story short, in 1997 people began blaming the Raichu species for frequent power outages, so they began making the population extinct), people think that Raichu was the last of his kind. This was debunked in 2022 when Wakko found a forest chock full of Raichu, making this false.
* Raichu is the first character to have both Warner DNA and Bugs Bunny DNA.
* Raichu has a show bible, you can view it here.
