Echo's Raichu

Echo's Raichu (エコーのライチュウ, Ekō's Raichū) is Echo's fourth Pokémon and the only one he has hatched.

Personality
Raichu is prideful and doesn't take kindly to those who look down at her. She believes she's the most powerful Pokémon in the world and has believed so from the day she hatched.

As a Pichu, she was a little monster, constantly disobeying Echo and even going as far as to electrocute him. When she wanted to battle, she didn't take no for an answer, and though she lost every time, she eventually showed she had some skill, by fainting some kid's Rattata. However, she couldn't use any Electric-type attacks without hurting herself with the high voltage she released. Through training for contests, she grew far better at containing and releasing bolts of lightning, but still had the issue with recoil. During her first official performance in Celadon City, she learned to deal with the pain and won, which made her happy enough to evolve. It was because of how happy Pichu was during the contests that Echo decided to participate in all he could.

As a Pikachu, she was far kinder and actually listened to Echo since he taught her out to be the center of everyone's attention, though she was still very keen on battling at her own time. She trained and trained day and night until she had her part of the routine down pat. However, this led to her being angered when her routine partners weren't fully prepared. She decided that, since they weren't good enough, she would put on an all-out show to cover up what her teammates couldn't do. When she lost, she came to understand that teamwork is more effective than anything a single Pokémon could do.

Trivia

 * Most of the pictures display male Pikachu since there are so few images of female Pikachu. Just ignore the tail.
 * Riachu was born mute and communicates through her bolts of lightning.
