Volkner: Difference between revisions

|desc={{p|Raichu}} is Volkner's very first Pokémon. It first appears in ''[[DP165|Flint Sparks the Fire!]]'' where it reunited with {{OBP|Flint|Elite Four}} and in the [[DP166|next episode]]. Raichu has been shown to be {{pkmn2|Walking|outside of its Poké Ball}} most of the time.

Volkner first received his Raichu as a {{p|Pikachu}} when he was young. It battled with [[Flint's Infernape|Flint's Chimchar]] and lost. However, in their rematch, it defeated {{p|Chimchar}} with {{m|Iron Tail}}. Since then, Flint and Volkner became friends/rivals. Later, Pikachu was battling the [[Proprietor]]'s {{p|Houndoom}}, he was a [[Pokémon Poacher]] at the time. Houndoom dealt some damage to Chimchar and Pikachu but Chimchar wasn't able to continue, leaving Pikachu to do it on its own. Volkner was very determined to battle the proprietor. After a long battle, the proprietor ends up defeated and becomes friends with Volkner and Flint.

Pikachu evolved into a Raichu sometime when Volkner was growing up and took the job as becoming the Gym Leader. Raichu was very strong as it defeated several Pokémon such as a Trainer's {{p|Weavile}} and {{p|Mothim}} over time. However, Volkner did not select Raichu in both of his matches against {{Ash}}.
