>>52346789 First Pokemon I saw when I was a kid from that Raikou OVA.
Has been my favorite ever since.
This is turbo autistic, but when I was suicidal, I had this habit of saying "Raichu" and imagining one smiling at me every time dark thoughts start creeping in.
Even to this day I whisper "Raichu" without controling it, and everytime I try to dig deep on why I said it, I realize my thoughts were going to wandering towards unpleasant memories before the raichu intervention.
My boy is protecting me even after all these years. And even if I quit Pokemon, I will never be able to get rid of him (not that I want to).
