'''Manectric Charge!''' (Japanese: '''キンセツジムふたたび！VSライボルト!!''' ''Return to {{tt|Kinsetsu|Mauville}} Gym! VS {{tt|Livolt|Manectric}}!'') is episode 59 of Advanced Generation. It was first broadcast in Japan on January 15, 2004 and in the United States on December 4, 2004.

{{spoilers}}
= Synopsis =
Ash and [[Ash's friends|co.]] have finally returned to [[Mauville City]] for a pit stop on the way back to [[Petalburg City]]. Before they get ready to make any plans, Max notices a huge sign for an entrance to a carnival! They decide to start they visit in Mauville by hanging out there. It seems open, though, so they decide to check it out on their own.

To their luck, it is open, so they ckeck out the toy stand first, mainly full of Pokémon plushies, and it's run by two suspicious looking people in a {{p|Gengar}} and {{p|Tauros}} costume. May noticed the Torchic plushie, and gets excited and wants to buy it. Unbeknownst to them, these people are really [[Team Rocket]]...

Meanwhile, Ash and co send out all their Pokémon to play, and Ash's new Torkoal smogs them up as a friendly greeting, but they don't seem too happy. Ash introduces them to it, and explains that it likes to do that a lot in a friendly manner, and not to worry about it. Torkoal does it again, and it reaches Team Rocket this time, which gives them an idea to try and snatch it...

Next, they check out the soccer target game, where Brock scores a 10! The rest of them are about to take their turn, but then Ash notices his Torkoal standing right in front of the ball. It seems like it wants a shot at this! Ash is excited and ready to watch it go, but Max is a little concerned that it might mess up and trip, since its body is wide and its legs are pretty short. They all watch as Torkoal lifts its legs, gets ready to kick... but instead it falls over, landing on its back. Oh well, better luck next time.

Next, Brock has a go at the water targets. He uses the water gun that it supplies, but has Lotad and Mudkip help him with their {{m|Water Gun}}s. Max is having a shot at the ring toss game, with the help of Pikachu and Skitty. Treecko and Corphish are working on the ring-the-bell game, using something else, and Torkoal smogs them both again. May is playing a [[wp:Dance Dance Revolution|DDR]]-style game, with the help of Torchic, Forretress, Beautifly and Taillow. A silhouette of Meowth appears on the screens and shows them the moves.

Talk:Ash's Pikachu/Archive 1

Snipe: /* Ash's Pikachu's Gender */

Didn't he get taught Thunderpunch at some point? --[[User:Greengiant|Greengiant]] 19:04, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
:Not that I can recall. [[User:Fabu-Vinny|Fabu-Vinny]] 17:18, 2 Jul 2005 (UTC)

== Ash's Pikachu's Gender ==
Something like totally bothers me, does anyone know Pikachu's actual gender? --[[User:Alyssachanpc|Hikari-chan]] 20:57, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

I thought that characters refer to it as "he" or "him", but that might just be casual talk when they don't know. But Pikachu doesn't have a dent in its tail... hmm... I guess there's no official definition yet, though. [[User:Aiddat|Aiddat]] 10:43, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

Actually, no, Pikachu's gender has never been '''confirmed''' on the series, neither by the writers or anyone else involved. It's simply known as an "it". For some reason, many people believe that Pikachu is a male, but I personally believe it's a female. Anyway, my guess is, the characters on the show don't "know" what Pikachu's gender is, otherwise I'm sure it would've been revealed in the series at some point. Another theory I have is, maybe the writers hide Pikachu's gender purposely, so that everyone can have their own opinion about Pikachu's gender.

Judging by the fact that it lacks the dent at the end of it's tail in the DP series, this puts to rest any rumors and speculations, and confirms it to indeed be a male. - [[User: Jake|Jake]]

No it doesn't. Don't use Sinnoh Pokemon data for Kanto Pokemon. No female Pikachu from the other three regions (Gen II/III) have the dent, do they? - [[User: Cassius335|Cassius335]]
:Until we get a GSDS, that'll definitely remain true. If and when we do, however, will prove it once and for all. Although, you technically can transfer a Pikachu from Kanto/Hoenn and it'll have a dent in the tail if it's female... '''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 02:32, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

On the contrary, until he see a Pikachu in the Anime with a dent in it's tail, then we will know Pikachu is a male. Until then, it remains final that no gender will ever be specified for it. --[[User:Proto Fan|Proto Fan]] 03:53, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

want bout buneary liking him or her does that mean either buneary is gay or buneary a male who likes to crossdress and what about the princess fest pikachu wasn't doing anything but carring misty's bags-sonicflames

:Basically all evidence is circumstantial right now - [[User: Cassius335|Cassius335]]
In the episode "Lights, Camera, Quacktion!" is a hint that might help you solve this: first, since the movie being filmed is a love scene, the pokémon at the casting must be male to act as the wigglytuff's love interest (playing a Romeo part). So, Pikachu must be the same gender as Meowth (in love with the girl that trained a Parasect on a certain episode) or Psyduck (being called a "he" by brock in one episode of the first season). He is, therefore, a male, and so must be Arbok, Weezing, Meowth and Psyduck.--[[User:Snipe|Snipe]] 07:12, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

=Pichu=
I believe it was originally a Pichu. --[[User:Pikachu25|Pikachu25]] 14:16, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
:Pikachu was originally a Pichu like Ash was originally a baby. Sure, it probably was, but in [[EP001]] it is a Pikachu while Ash is 10. That's all that counts unless we get some kind of flashback in a future episode. --[[User:Fabu-Vinny|FabuVinny]] [[User talk:Fabu-Vinny|T]]-[[Special:Contributions/Fabu-Vinny|C]]-[[User:Fabu-Vinny/Sandbox|S]] 20:30, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

i can't remimber which episode it was, but i'm sure about the fact that pikachu will never age or get old because he drank some river liquid which made him eternal [[User: Gaiden|Gaiden]] 03:16, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
:I'm pretty sure that Pokémon never had the fountain of youth in the anime. Where'd you hear that? --[[User:Pie|Pie]] ~[[User talk:Pie|♪]][[Special:Contributions/Pie|♫]] 22:58, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
::I actually saw it when the CW Was Kids WB, it wasn't a fountain of youth, but it was a rather strange river that made whoever drank from it eternal, it was possibly in the later or mid parts of indigo... or was it in orange islands? i remember misty and ash being there and another female but my memory is cloudy at that point - [[Gaiden]] 11:26, 04 August 2007 (UTC)
:::... I'm pretty sure there's no eternal life river, either, and if there was, they never did anything like make Pikachu special by drinking from it. Perhaps you've confused some details of another episode? --[[User:Pie|Pie]] ~[[User talk:Pie|♪]][[Special:Contributions/Pie|♫]] 17:07, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
::::I'm also 100% sure that never happened. I saw almost every episode on KidsWB with the exception of one or two Johto League Champions episodes. I also have a fairly good memory in regards to the episodes. I can't think of any episode where a) Pikachu drank from anything or b) say that it is ageless. --[[User:PAK Man|PAK Man]] [[User talk:PAK Man|Talk]] 17:48, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
:::::Alright, it must have been something else then, i could have sworn something like that happened, but i could be thinking of another anime, thanks for your time everyone - [[Gaiden]] 02:51, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
:::::No problem. You did the right thing by bringing it up on the talk page. Plus, in an anime with over 500 episodes, it's easy to get things mixed up. Don't worry about thinking it actually happened. --[[User:PAK Man|PAK Man]] [[User talk:PAK Man|Talk]] 19:54, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

==Double-Edge==
Wait a minute, when did Pikachu ever learn double-edge, and if it didn't specifically use learn as of Ash teaching it, when didit it first use the move. [[User:GlalieGuy|GlalieGuy]] 00:21, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

I think it tried to use the move once but failed. Ash may have tried to teach Pikachu Double-Edge but they gave up - [[User: Cassius335|Cassius335]]
:From what I can recall, [[EP079|''Friend and Foe Alike'']] was the first dub mention of [[Ash's Pikachu]] using a Double-Edge attack. However, it was the stadium announcer mentioning it after Pikachu slammed into [[Happy]] after coming off the sidelines. It could have been different in the original...--[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 03:00, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
:That's correct. The exact line was "Pikachu jumps from the sidelines and delivers a devastating Double-edge attack!" --[[User:PAK Man|PAK Man]] [[User talk:PAK Man|Talk]] 17:35, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

==Bolded Moveset==

Why was the last revision reverted? Looked like a reasonable idea to me. - [[User: Cassius335|Cassius335]]
:No real need to indicate [[STAB]] for the anime. That's what the bolding's used for. '''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 06:15, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
::Fair enough, except that wasn't what the poster was doing. He was highlighting Pikachu's current moveset (notice he'd bolded Iron Tail, but not Thundershock or Thunder). - [[User: Cassius335|Cassius335]]
:::Hmm. Well, the question is, do Pokémon have the four-move limit in the anime? '''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 01:11, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
::::Not as far as I've ever heard (Misty's Caserin has 5, for one). However, Ash's Pikachu hasn't used Thunder in about a season (since Volt Tackle turned up?), nor Agility since who knows when. A case could be made for moves being forgotten or at least becoming disused. - [[User: Cassius335|Cassius335]]
:::::Hey guys, I'm the one who made the edit. Thunder has not been used at all since Pikachu learned Volt Tackle. Don't ask me when it started, but I think after a certain point, the anime tried to adhere a bit more to the games, and along with that, have the four move limit. It's never been spoken, but while you watch a battle in the show, you'll notice that the Pokemon never use more than 4 different moves... at least as far as I've seen. I haven't seen the episode with the Luvdiscs.- [[User:OmegaPlatinum|OmegaPlatinum]]
::::::Hmm. Maybe we need to add notes to the moves for "First used" and "last used". - [[User: Cassius335|Cassius335]]
:::::::I don't think there is a case for moves being forgotten but stating that moves have not been used in a while is fine. --[[User:Fabu-Vinny|FabuVinny]] [[User talk:Fabu-Vinny|T]]-[[Special:Contributions/Fabu-Vinny|C]]-[[User:Fabu-Vinny/Sandbox|S]] 11:14, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

That's all that counts unless we get some kind of flashback in a future episode. --[[User:Fabu-Vinny|FabuVinny]] [[User talk:Fabu-Vinny|T]]-[[Special:Contributions/Fabu-Vinny|C]]-[[User:Fabu-Vinny/Sandbox|S]] 20:30, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

i can't remimber which episode it was, but i'm sure about the fact that pikachu will never age or get old because he drank some river liquid which made him eternal [[User: Gaiden|Gaiden]] 03:16, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
:I'm pretty sure that Pokémon never had the fountain of youth in the anime. Where'd you hear that? --[[User:Pie|Pie]] ~[[User talk:Pie|♪]][[Special:Contributions/Pie|♫]] 22:58, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
::I actually saw it when the CW Was Kids WB, it wasn't a fountain of youth, but it was a rather strange river that made whoever drank from it eternal, it was possibly in the later or mid parts of indigo... or was it in orange islands? i remember misty and ash being there and another female but my memory is cloudy at that point - [[Gaiden]] 11:26, 04 August 2007 (UTC)
:::... I'm pretty sure there's no eternal life river, either, and if there was, they never did anything like make Pikachu special by drinking from it. Perhaps you've confused some details of another episode? --[[User:Pie|Pie]] ~[[User talk:Pie|♪]][[Special:Contributions/Pie|♫]] 17:07, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
::::I'm also 100% sure that never happened. I saw almost every episode on KidsWB with the exception of one or two Johto League Champions episodes. I also have a fairly good memory in regards to the episodes. I can't think of any episode where a) Pikachu drank from anything or b) say that it is ageless. --[[User:PAK Man|PAK Man]] [[User talk:PAK Man|Talk]] 17:48, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
:::::Alright, it must have been something else then, i could have sworn something like that happened, but i could be thinking of another anime, thanks for your time everyone - [[Gaiden]] 02:51, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
:::::No problem. You did the right thing by bringing it up on the talk page. Plus, in an anime with over 500 episodes, it's easy to get things mixed up. Don't worry about thinking it actually happened. --[[User:PAK Man|PAK Man]] [[User talk:PAK Man|Talk]] 19:54, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

==Double-Edge==
Wait a minute, when did Pikachu ever learn double-edge, and if it didn't specifically use learn as of Ash teaching it, when didit it first use the move. [[User:GlalieGuy|GlalieGuy]] 00:21, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

I think it tried to use the move once but failed. Ash may have tried to teach Pikachu Double-Edge but they gave up - [[User: Cassius335|Cassius335]]
:From what I can recall, [[EP079|''Friend and Foe Alike'']] was the first dub mention of [[Ash's Pikachu]] using a Double-Edge attack. However, it was the stadium announcer mentioning it after Pikachu slammed into [[Happy]] after coming off the sidelines. It could have been different in the original...--[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 03:00, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
:That's correct. The exact line was "Pikachu jumps from the sidelines and delivers a devastating Double-edge attack!" --[[User:PAK Man|PAK Man]] [[User talk:PAK Man|Talk]] 17:35, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

==Bolded Moveset==

Why was the last revision reverted? Looked like a reasonable idea to me. - [[User: Cassius335|Cassius335]]
:No real need to indicate [[STAB]] for the anime. That's what the bolding's used for. '''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 06:15, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
::Fair enough, except that wasn't what the poster was doing. He was highlighting Pikachu's current moveset (notice he'd bolded Iron Tail, but not Thundershock or Thunder). - [[User: Cassius335|Cassius335]]
:::Hmm. Well, the question is, do Pokémon have the four-move limit in the anime? '''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 01:11, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
::::Not as far as I've ever heard (Misty's Caserin has 5, for one). However, Ash's Pikachu hasn't used Thunder in about a season (since Volt Tackle turned up?), nor Agility since who knows when. A case could be made for moves being forgotten or at least becoming disused. - [[User: Cassius335|Cassius335]]
:::::Hey guys, I'm the one who made the edit. Thunder has not been used at all since Pikachu learned Volt Tackle. Don't ask me when it started, but I think after a certain point, the anime tried to adhere a bit more to the games, and along with that, have the four move limit. It's never been spoken, but while you watch a battle in the show, you'll notice that the Pokemon never use more than 4 different moves... at least as far as I've seen. I haven't seen the episode with the Luvdiscs.- [[User:OmegaPlatinum|OmegaPlatinum]]
::::::Hmm. Maybe we need to add notes to the moves for "First used" and "last used". - [[User: Cassius335|Cassius335]]
:::::::I don't think there is a case for moves being forgotten but stating that moves have not been used in a while is fine. --[[User:Fabu-Vinny|FabuVinny]] [[User talk:Fabu-Vinny|T]]-[[Special:Contributions/Fabu-Vinny|C]]-[[User:Fabu-Vinny/Sandbox|S]] 11:14, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
