Isamu Akai's Pikachu

Pikachu is a Pokémon that belongs to Isamu Akai. He is the cousin of Clefairy and one of the only Pokémon in the manga who cannot talk, instead relying on pantomime to communicate. Pikachu is often shown as an opposite of Clefairy because he's intelligent and makes everything much better than his cousin. Due to that, Clefairy and Pikachu are sometimes shown as rivals.

Trivia

• Pikachu and Clefairy are stated to be cousins. This is actually possible according to video game canon as Pikachu and Clefairy both belong to the Fairy egg group. However, this was not known when the manga was originally published, as Pokémon Gold and Silver had not been released yet.
