The Mouse Pokémon

About Raichu

Raichu is an Electric-type Pokémon, the Mouse Pokémon (No. 26), introduced in Generation I and native to the Kanto region.

It can discharge bursts of electricity exceeding 100,000 volts— a single strike with that amount of power would incapacitate one of the Copperajah of my homeland.
