It's funny how in that short Ash, Misty and Brock gave the pokemon a whole ass banquet when they usually just feed them what I feel like was portrayed as fictional equivalent of dog food
Any time this particular part comes up it always looks as if Misty basically came in and said "Child, leave that cake alone and come get this duck food".
Why Pikachu & Pichu will always be my most favorite of the mini movies. The thing I appreciate about these shorts is that they’d basically lure you into a false sense of security with these cutesy little adventures only to follow it up with 90 minutes of actively attempting murder on the main cast.
“Oh tee hee; let’s give Pikachu a vacation because they’ll never have one again after Ash’s funeral!”.
