Pokemon is unrealistic to even the practical parts of reality.

I would assume he just handed her the pokeball for Pikachu so that he could get another ball warped in. The reason Pikachu never gets warped away is because he's never in his damn ball so it's inert. If I remember right the system always chooses the most recently acquired ball to warp back to storage.


So I see a lot of Ash/Misty kissy-face pictures that look suspiciously like actual screenshots from the show. When the hell did that happen? I thought their little sexual tension thing was supposed to last forever.

Actually, the Japanese show was a lot more overt about it than the translation.
