I think Pikachu's level goes back to a starter-level when he goes to a new region
He also got smacked around by misty(I dislike her strongly). Hell in the first episode there was a censored scene where after fishing him out of a river, she slapped a ten year old kid for no reason!(this is actually true!) the fact that Brock just up and left his position without so much as a letter to the league. The fact that he didn't advance on Serena one bit. The fact that his pickachu that defeated multiple fucking legendary pokemon and lost to a fucking level 5 green thumbed snivy, just made me throw the anime series in the trash.
I Know what you mean because I also am a author but I am one on a different site
A/N: I'll only update if I feel like it.....You know creating a chapter is so tiring, for those who's not an author, try creating your own and you'll know it! Some readers think it's easy but it's not, you only think it's easy but when you are already creating you're own, your wrong!!
