Pikachu in a cap: Difference between revisions

When you start adding detail and end up starting a wiki upheaval :( Anyway, new detail relating to why Ash's hat is worn in the show. New paragraph for the cards (which are all named Ash's Pikachu, so the header should use that and not "Pikachu in a cap". Several new entries to terminology, leading to a suggestion of a move to "Ash's Pikachu (form)

Pikachu briefly puts on Ash's hat whenever the two of them perform {{m|10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt}}, as first seen in ''[[SM054|10,000,000 Reasons to Fight!]]''. He also wore it for most of ''[[JN142|The Same Moon, Now and Forever!]]''.
Pikachu briefly puts on Ash's hat whenever the two of them perform {{m|10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt}}, as first seen in ''[[SM054|10,000,000 Reasons to Fight!]]''. In ''10,000,000 Reasons to Fight!'', the hat was blown off of Ash's head by power from the [[Pikashunium Z]]. Pikachu chased after the hat and picked it up, then wore the hat as it used the move. Later uses of 10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt in [[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]] have Ash intentionally putting the hat on Pikachu before starting to attack. <!--Hey, so is it intentional in Journeys?!-->
 
Additionally, Ash's Pikachu wore Ash's hat for most of ''[[JN142|The Same Moon, Now and Forever!]]''.
