It showed Pikachu teamed up with the [[Pichu Brothers]], and was a tie in to ''[[PK07|Pikachu and Pichu]]'', one of the [[Pikachu short]]s. | Ash's Pikachu, as the main Pokémon character of the longest running Pokémon animation, has received multiple dedicated cards in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]].
