[x] The Badge. You put a lot of hard work and effort into utterly humiliating Rojo and robbing him of his precious badge and possibly also making him cry. How dare she try to undo your efforts?
No. Rojo's shame must stand forever.

[X] The Balls. She's smart enough to have brought a backup Pokeball in case you fry the first one, but little does she know that you have two paws! Steal both so she can't throw them when you're distracted.
I also like just how wide-reaching consequences there were to our actions. A friend of mine once commented on the carefully cultivated nature of the safety you have in the Pokemon world with its Routes and messing that up can easily cascade into trouble.
Yeah! Trixie was a whole different kind of menace!
I don't remember if this came up before, but I just love the image that Ash's Pikachu's daughter either mugged or robbed people enough to make a nice pile of dosh.
Muscle-mommy stronk. I'm somewhat reminded of when Lt. Surge was pressuring Ash to evolve Pikachu because Raichu are stronger and now want to see Mommachu suplex a Raichu.
This was hella cute.

So sad that Trixie died of ligma.

Finally, a reason why a random encounter with wild animals out in the middle of nowhere nets your character a bunch of cash upon victory!
Yeah, this basically came from the observation that in a lot of places, especially historically, humans are not outside forces oppressing the "natural state" of the world; their influence is part of the natural state of the world; they are integral parts of the ecosystem. Trainers in Viridian Forest - not the big hotshots, but the kind of local, low-level, "owns a Paras, a Ledian and a low-level Scyther" mook Bug trainers you get as a random encounter along a forest path - keep the game trails and side-routes open for both humans and larger Pokemon to get into and through the forest, allowing grassland Pokemon like Venasaurs to get deep into the safety of the trees to lay their eggs. They tend to Beedrill hives to stop parasites getting inside them and cull Bug colonies before they hit critical mass and start migrating in giant swarms. They dig firebreaks and dredge clogged streams and nurture wetlands so that floods and fires can be better absorbed by the forest as a whole. They manage the Forest, intelligently, with careful planning and an eye to the long-term, in a way that purely natural unthinking balance mechanisms can't because a causal effect can't react to a sudden perturbation before it's even finished happening.
Humans are good for the environment, if they manage and nurture it properly. And in the world of Electric Tail, for the most part, they do - plus or minus the odd environmental-aesop movie villain who gets taken down by
Or at least, they do until a cunning little Pikachu with a grudge decides she doesn't want them in her Forest anymore.

After all, we've said before that we are a Pikachu powered as much by spite as things like food, sleep, and electricity. These are not good or wise decisions, they are fun decisions because we're...kinda a one-episode antagonist who's been surprisingly successful generally.
And we know it. So we make Villain Decisions instead.

In her defense a good portion of those folks would "employ" her against her will if they managed to catch her.
Not really the kind of first impression that generates a welcoming attitude.
Edit: Hell to be perfectly fair even I'd do it if I found her in one of the games. I've done it in pokemon Arcesus after all and an "Alpha" pikachu ain't small potatoes.

I wonder if we will ever find a good human to just follow around. We aren't going to let them catch us, but tailing a human that we are willing to follow seems like an alright idea to me.
Edit: Now that I think about it, did N ever actually use his own Pokémon? His team changed every time I fought him in Pokémon Black.

Far as I can recall he basically did a Pokemon Ranger setup, just ask whatever pokemon nearby if they'd be willing to help him for a bit.
Says a lot about him that he can still use such a highly variable team effectively.
