第 18 集: Friede 與飛行的 Pikachu 的過去以及 Rising Volt Tacklers 的創立

18

Liko, Roy, and Dot are intrigued by Cap's apparent ability to fly during its battle with Roy, and coax Friede into revealing his Pikachu's origins. During his younger years, Friede becomes aimless after quitting his unfulfilling lab job as a Pokémon researcher. His passion is rekindled when Lucca, his former schoolteacher, introduces him to the wild Pikachu, who uses its powerful tail and Volt Tackle attack to "fly". Through his efforts to befriend the aloof Pikachu, Friede discovers its attempts to fly are so it can watch the morning horizon, which inspires Friede to travel the world and learn more about unusual Pokémon like Pikachu. Friede recruits his childhood friend Orla to build the Brave Olivine out of his acquaintance Ludlow's seaboat, and dubs Pikachu as the ship's captain, leading to the formation of the Rising Volt Tacklers.
