'''Pika and Goliath!''' (Japanese: '''ピカチュウ！ライチュウ！進化への道!!''' ''Pikachu! Raichu! The Path to Evolution!!'') is the 74th episode of {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}, and the 540th episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It first aired in Japan on April 3, 2008, alongside ''[[DP073|Crossing Paths]]'' as a one-hour special and in the United States on August 30, 2008.

{{Ash}} and his {{AP|friends}} meet [[Sho]], a boy who has a {{p|Pichu}} and a {{p|Raichu}}. He mistakes [[Ash's Pikachu]] for a [[wild Pokémon]].
{{spoilers}}

==Synopsis==
The episode starts with the gang eating at a table in the woods, taking a short break from their journey. {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} is excited about eating, flailing its arms happily. Unfortunately, Piplup accidentally knocked a piece of food out of {{AP|Pikachu}}'s paw. Disgruntled, both Pokémon ran off to find the food. Once the food stopped rolling, a strange {{p|Pichu}} picked it up, eating it right in front of the duo. Pichu called for its trainer, a boy named [[Sho]]. When Sho laid his eyes on Pikachu, he thought it was a wild Pokémon. However, when a worried {{Ash}} ran over, Sho mistook their greeting, thinking Ash was trying to capture Pikachu.

In a rage, he tossed out his {{p|Raichu}}, and told it to use {{m|Iron Tail}}. Ash countered Raichu's attack with an Iron Tail of his own. Both Iron Tails collided. Once Sho realized that Pikachu wasn't wild, he offered up a few Pokémon to trade; namely a {{p|Mareep}}, {{p|Magnemite}}, and {{P|Magneton}}. Ash turned down all of the other Pokémon. Brock then asked why Sho wanted Pikachu so badly, to which he replied that he wanted a 'full-power evolution set'.

Ash asked why Sho didn't just evolve his Pichu, and Sho said that then he'd have to catch another Pichu. Ash challenged Sho to a battle – His Raichu against Pikachu. Sho accepted on the terms that if he won, Pikachu was his. However, Ash declined that offer. Still, Sho agreed to battle him anyway.

The first attack launched was by Pikachu – A {{m|Thunderbolt}}. Raichu took the electricity, completely unfazed. Sho mocked Pikachu's power, and gave Pikachu a {{m|Thunder}}. Pikachu also took the attack. Ash countered with a {{m|Volt Tackle}}; however, Sho's Raichu also knew this move and used it as well. Both of the Volt Tackles collided, creating an explosion. Raichu safely landed on its feet, but Pikachu slammed into a rock and struggled to stand back up. Both Pokémon then used Iron Tail, skidding backwards on the ground.

Ash assumed Raichu would be beaten with speed, and Pikachu used {{m|Quick Attack}}. The attack collided with Raichu's stomach, but Raichu didn't seem hurt at all. Then Sho decided it was time to use {{m|Hyper Beam}}. Once Ash tried to get Pikachu to dodge it, Raichu used its tail to attach Pikachu to a near-by rock so it couldn't run away. Raichu charged up its Hyper Beam attack and hit Pikachu at point-blank range. This also destroyed the rock and sent Pikachu flying. Pikachu tried to stand up, but fell back down when Raichu stepped in front of it. Pikachu looked in fear at the face of the attacker before its vision blurred. Ash, concerned, ran over to Pikachu and held it.

Sho again asked to trade, but Ash refused. Changing his mind, Sho made fun of Pikachu and walked off with his Raichu. Watching in the distance was [[Paul]], who stated that Pikachu needed to evolve to even come close to being an equal to Raichu. Just as quickly as he appeared, he was gone again. Brock then states that it's true that Pikachu can't learn Hyper Beam without evolving. Dawn then says that Pikachu can't evolve without a {{evostone|Thunderstone}}.

Before Pikachu could say anything, it passed out in Ash's arms. Pikachu was immediately taken to a [[Pokémon Center]], where it was hooked up to a {{wp|electrocardiograph}} to check its pulse and heart rate. [[Team Rocket]] is seen outside, looking into the hospital room sadly as Pikachu's health began to deteriorate. Upon having flashbacks of its life, Pikachu's pulse and heart rates begin to plummet, and [[Nurse Joy]] used the pacemaker and {{TP|Nurse Joy|Chansey}} set it for 200 volts. It was ineffective, so Nurse Joy told Chansey to set it for 300 volts instead. After three more tries, Pikachu's heart and pulse rates began to go back to normal, much to everyone's relief.

Later that afternoon, Pikachu is seen resting in a hospital bed. As it wakes up, Ash and the others were waiting for it to come to. Pikachu quickly tries to rush off to get Raichu, but Ash puts it back in the bed, saying that it needs to rest. Then, Ash got out a Thunderstone, revealing that it's the same one from [[EP014|his gym battle]] with [[Lt. Surge]]'s {{TP|Lt. Surge|Raichu}}, and he kept it all that time in case Pikachu ever wanted to evolve. Pikachu didn't seem to want to evolve even then. As Pikachu still seemed hurt, the gang left the room after Ash placed the Thunderstone on the table next to the window.

Outside, Team Rocket seem to be disgruntled about Pikachu evolving into Raichu. Later that night, Pikachu glared angrily at the Thunderstone, quickly turning away from it. It began to think about the Raichu it battled. It sat up, looking at the Thunderstone.

When the gang came into the room, Pikachu vanished and the Thunderstone was gone. Ash and his friends went off looking for Pikachu. A jolt of electricity in the night sky was seen and Ash ran off in that direction. Ash then saw his Pikachu, practicing Volt Tackle on a rock and breaking it. Ash ran over, happy that Pikachu decided to not evolve after all.

Team Rocket appears with Thunderstone in hand, implying that they planned to sell it before running off. Brock, Dawn, and Piplup came rushing over, noticing that Pikachu decided not to evolve after all.

The next morning, Pikachu seems ready and raring to go as they ran into the lobby of the Pokémon Center. There, they see Paul. Paul notices that Pikachu hadn't evolved, but says nothing and walks right past them.

The episode switches to Ash and Pikachu training with a frisbee, practicing flips and spins. A jolt of electricity bursts from out of the trees, interrupting the training. Ash quickly runs over, noticing that it was Raichu's Thunder. Sho is seen with his Raichu, practicing against a few trees before the gang runs over. Ash immediately challenges Sho to another battle. Sho remarks that it would end the same, but that he was fine with a rematch. He let out his Pichu to watch the battle.

Right before the battle started, Pikachu taunted Sho and his Raichu. Ash told them that it was their turn to go first. Angrily, Sho told Raichu to use Iron Tail. Ash's Pikachu was able to dodge it by spinning over top of Raichu. Again, Raichu used Iron Tail. However, Pikachu spun around on the ground, dodging every Iron Tail Raichu threw at it. Finally, one of Raichu's Iron Tails hit Pikachu. Raichu then spun around and through Pikachu in the air. Raichu used Volt Tackle on where Pikachu was going to land, and Ash countered with an Iron Tail.

Both Pokémon slid backwards, but Raichu came at Pikachu with another Volt Tackle. Pikachu was able to dodge it and then had to dodge a barrage of Iron Tails. Once Raichu was tired, Pikachu used Quick Attack and slammed into Raichu's stomach. Raichu was tossed backwards, but was able to stay on its feet. Raichu then came at Pikachu with an Iron Tail again. Pikachu was able to dodge it and use Iron Tail on Raichu's stomach. Raichu seemed to be worn out, but was able to make a come back with Thunder. However, Pikachu easily moved out of the way and used Volt Tackle. This time when Raichu was hit, it fell to the ground. Still, Raichu was able to stand back up. Sho then ordered Raichu to use Hyper Beam.

Raichu used its tail in the same way it had before, only this time Pikachu was held against a tree. Thinking on his feet, Ash told Pikachu to use Thunderbolt. Right as Raichu's Hyper Beam collided, Pikachu was able to soften the blow with Thunderbolt. Sho thought it was all over, until the smoke cleared and Pikachu was still standing. Raichu couldn't move, so Ash took this time to get an advantage. Pikachu used Volt Tackle combined with an Iron Tail and slammed right into Raichu.

Raichu was still able to get to its feet, and countered with Volt Tackle. Pikachu also used Volt Tackle. The attacks collided and an explosion was created. Both Pokémon were flung backwards, and both Pokémon were able to stand their ground. Raichu then used Iron Tail on Pikachu, who countered with a spinning Iron Tail. Raichu was flung into a tree, however Raichu was still able to get back up. Raichu then used Hyper Beam again, but its tail missed Pikachu. Ash's Pikachu then somehow 'used the energy from the Hyper Beam' to jump into the air and began to spin. It used the energy to go into an Iron Tail. Iron Tail collided with Raichu, knocking it out.

Both Paul and Team Rocket had been watching the battle. Team Rocket, much like they did when this happened [[EP014|previously]], celebrated and revealed that they stole the Thunderstone, and they intended to sell it for their plans to steal Pikachu. Meanwhile, Paul simply walks off-screen.

Finally, our heroes said good-bye to Sho and walked off into the sunset.

==Trivia==
* This episode follows much of the premise of ''[[EP014|Electric Shock Showdown]]'' by having Ash's Pikachu be defeated by a Raichu and choose whether to evolve or not via the {{evostone|Thunderstone}}. Clips from the said episode are shown in this episode.
** Ash's Quick Attack tactic from the said episode did not succeed during this episode.
[[Image:113machine.jpg|The machine in the Pokémon Center|thumb]]
* It is shown that Ash still had the Thunderstone that the [[Nurse Joy]] from [[Vermilion City]] had given him. During the episode, [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}} grabbed the stone to prevent Pikachu's evolution, and currently have it with them. They also implied that they plan on selling it.
* 113, {{p|Chansey}}'s National Dex number, was often shown in the machine used by [[Nurse Joy]] in the Pokémon Center. In addition, 74, the number of this episode in the Diamond and Pearl series, is also shown. Due to the position of the heart on the monitor, it could also be a reference to the animation production joke {{wp|A113}}.
*''[[To My Best Friend]]'' and ''[[Pokémon Symphonic Medley]]'' were both used as background music.
*The dub title is a reference to {{wp|David and Goliath}}.
*Ash makes an appearance in each of his previous outfits through still paintings of his memories.
*Pikachu's spinning aerial {{m|Iron Tail}} is visually identical to Pikachu's neutral-aerial attack in the Smash Bros. series. Red's [[Pika]] also imitated this technique in [[Pokémon Special]].

* [[Professor Oak's Pokémon lecture]]: [[Paul's Electabuzz]]
===Errors===
*Nurse Joy had performed {{wp|defibrillation}} on Pikachu. However, Pikachu was not suffering from cardiac arrest.

[[Jirachi (anime)|Jirachi's only anime appearance]] was in [[Jirachi: Wish Maker]]. Jirachi will only awaken during the week of the thousand-year comet and if there is a partner that can be its friend. [[Max]] filled that role in the movie. However, [[Butler|The Great Butler]] wanted to use Jirachi's powers to awaken {{p|Groudon}}. It is interesting to note that Jirachi appears to be a masculine Pokémon referred to as "he" in the English dub. It is referred as "she" in the Brazilian Portuguese dub. Jirachi is also in the opening sequence of [[The Rise of Darkrai]].

=In the manga=
The seven days Jirachi was awake coincided with the seven days of the opening ceremonies for the [[Battle Frontier]]. At the request of [[Professor Oak]], {{Special|Emerald}} tried to capture Jirachi while he was there. However, [[Guille Hideout]] managed to capture Jirachi first. Jirachi is supposed to be captured to revive the five petrified Pokédex Holders.

===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
Jirachi appears as a rare Poké Ball Pokémon, in its first appearance in the Super Smash Bros. series. The chance of it appearing is 1 in 493. Like the other "secret" Pokémon, it drops rare items instead of just flying away. In Jirachi's case, the items are stickers.

==Trivia==
* Jirachi shares similarities with the Beanstar from ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'', they both can only be awoken when sung to with a voice of purity, and both grant wishes.
* In the anime, it is one of the few Pokémon who can talk.
* Jirachi and {{p|Manaphy}} are the only [[legendary Pokémon]] to have never been given an in-game location. As well, they were both stars in a [[Pokémon movie]] where they bonded with [[Max]] and {{an|May}}, respectively.
* Jirachi's Emerald sprite shows its "true eye." However, in its Diamond and Pearl sprites, its true eye is closed.
===Origin===
Jirachi's design and ability of granting wishes probably refer to the habit of "wishing upon a star", so that your wish come true. Considering its humanoid appearance and ability to grant wishes, it is also possible that it was inspired by Arabic myths about {{wp|genie}}s, or djinn. In some myths, imprisoned genies would grant wishes to the person who released them. The tags of paper on its head are a reference toward {{wp|Tanabata}}.
====Name origin====
Jirachi gets its name from желать ''zhelatʹ'', which is Russian for "to desire".
