From goofy things like Pikachu creating a surfboard out of water-repellant energy to the horror of a city-wide massacre from hyper beam being used to create a massive crater in the middle of the city… I can never guess where these books are going to lead. I love that about this series, but damn it’s so shocking that Pokémon has an official storyline that’s this dark.
