| Pikachu's third stop was India. Posing in front of the Taj Mahal for a quick photograph, taken by licenced Pokemon Photographer, Todd. Pikachu went on to give yet another speech about how wonderful it was to be in India. One crazed fan attempted to grab Pikachu from the stage, but Pikachu's security team made sure the fan was "escorted" from the premesis. I spoke with an unphased Pikachu after the attempted pika-napping (the interview has been translated to English). P.I: Mr. Chu, how are you feeling after that attempt at pika-napping? Pikachu: (I'm fine. I was expecting stuff like this, which is why I got my friends for security. I can trust these guys, I know I'm safe.) P.I: You're not the least bit shaken? Pikachu: (Nope.) P.I: What if security wasn't watching when something happened? Pikachu: (What if, what if, what if. I could be pika-napped, I know that. But right now, I'm fine, and that's okay by me. Besides, my pika-napper would get a shock if they tried to pika-nap me! . . . and they ARE security. Their JOB is to watch me.) P.I: True. How much are you paying security? Pikachu: (Um . . . a chance to see your world?) P.I: No money?! They're working for nothing?! Pikachu: (No . . . it's a favour. But think about it. What good is Pokemon Money going to do in a place like Hyrule? I mean, it's not like you can buy- oops. . .) P.I: Huh? Where? Pikachu: (Ummm . . . Hoenn. What did I say? Hyrule?(laughs nervously) how funny . . . ) P.I: Thank-you for your time, Mr. Chu. Pikachu: (Um . . . yeah, no problem.) Hmmmm. With Pikachu's slip, and Ash's suggestion of a "Mario" working here, I grow even more suspicous about the security here. Oh well, next stop, little Italy! |
