| Pikachu began his legendary World Tour in Tokyo, Japan. I was undercover as a reporter, and was amazed as I observed fans as they flocked to this pagoda to catch a glimpse of the infamous Pikachu after a tourist photographed the landmark and began yelling "Pikachu! Pikachu!" while running through the streets of Tokyo. The headband bearing the sign of the Rising Sun was given to Pikachu by a 10-year-old Japanese boy. I sucessfully got an interview with Pikachu himself afterward (This interview has been translated for your conveinience.): P.I: Pikachu, what do you think about starting a tour that's going all the way to the other side of the world? Pikachu: (I'm really excited! I mean, I can't wait to meet all my fans in this world!) P.I: How did you decide to do a World Tour? Pikachu: (I heard about smaller tours from some of my friends at work. I just wanted to do something on a larger scale, so I could meet with all my fans!) P.I: Who do you mean by "friends at work?" Pikachu: (My friends at Nintendo, who else?) P.I: Of course, Mr. Chu. With all your fame, aren't you the least bit afraid of what your fans may try to do? Pikachu: (No. Why should I be scared? They're my fans! They don't want to hurt me! Besides, I've selected my own security team, so I'll be fine.) P.I: Thank you, Mr. Chu. Pikachu: (Oh, my pleasure.) |
