An Electric Tail (Pikachu Quest)

Reader mode
[X] A Poké Toy. It's been a long time since you played with something just for fun. And you remember these things! Loud and stimulating and with so many noises and reactions - they never fail to get your blood pumping. That's what you want. Something exciting.
[X] Food. You don't know how easy it will be to find meals away from the Forest, so you'll gather enough Berries and nuts and grains to tide you over until you get the hang of foraging. How you'll carry a pile several times bigger than you are tall is something you're not quite sure about yet, but that's a problem for future Trixie to solve, bite and/or electrocute.
 
[X] A Poké Ball. Cooperating with your sister was... kind of fun. No way you'll ever use one of these to keep others as captive pets, but you remember Rojo and Wenge rescuing their Pokémon with them. As cages, they're abhorrent. As quick escapes from peril, though...
[X] Trophies. You've left plenty of Human Things strewn across the Forest over the course of your reign of terror, and Rojo taught you that they value their badges that prove they've shown fighting skill by winning tough battles. If you take some of your spoils of war along and show them off, the Humans will have to respect you, probably.

Carrying enough food to be relevant seems challenging, we're one pikachu, weight hurts us a lot in fights and the food makes us a desired challenge target for basically every pokemon out there.
I'd rather collect badges :p
 
[x] A Poké Doll. You suppose you can admit that having a little squeaky sibling to hug and talk your ear off is... nice. These cuddly things are soft and huggable - enough to pacify even your temperament. Maybe you wouldn't mind some friends. But not to get in your way!
This indicates a desire to seek out other Pokémon as companions. You'll look for friends and allies, but only to travel with. When danger looms, you'll fight alone.

Actually, its been a while since I've been here, can we learn Volt Tackle? If so, do we get to use the Smash Bros. variation?
 
It is certainly possible for you to learn a risky self-harming move called Volt Tackle that does high damage with some backlash onto Trixie. That said, this is a narrative quest, so basing any strategies on the mechanical balance of the precise canonical metagame is probably unwise; tactics and story do more to inform wins and losses in this quest than stacking such-and-such held items with so-and-so moves and then enhancing with this-or-that buff. Just because a move is the accepted most powerful combo in the current meta doesn't mean it will be in Electric Tail.

Click to expand...

Thanks! Also, I don't intend to attempt to utilize metagaming in this quest. I just figured I'd ask because I want to Volt Tackle a God at some point. Out of nothing but pure spite :p
