As you stood in front of Sabrina, the recently earned Marsh Badge shining in your hand, the Saffron Gym reverberated with the waning buzz of psychic energy. You and your Pokémon had both been pushed to the limit during the fierce battle, but you ultimately prevailed.

"Pika!! Pika-pi!!"

Your Pikachu leapt up with boundless energy, his bright yellow fur sparking slightly in excitement. His red cheeks crackled with residual electricity as he bounded onto your shoulder, nuzzling against your face with pure joy.

"Chu~!"

He raised his tiny arms and let out a cheerful cry, as if to say, "We did it! We won!" His lightning bolt-shaped tail wagged rapidly, and his round, brown eyes sparkled with excitement. Even the normally stoic Sabrina gave a small, approving nod before walking away, acknowledging your well-earned victory.

Stepping out into the golden glow of Saffron City, the realization sank in—you had just defeated one of Kanto’s strongest Gym Leaders. Pikachu hopped down and looked up at you, tilting his head curiously.

"Pikachu?"

As if sensing your thoughts, he suddenly grinned and jumped up, patting at your bag playfully. He knew exactly what was next—a celebration! Whether it was a stop at the Poké Mart for some snacks, a quick visit to the Pokémon Center for well-deserved rest, or simply running through the city streets with excitement, Pikachu was ready to share this moment with you.

"Pika pikaaa~!"

His ears twitched as he eagerly waited for your decision, his energy as electric as ever. No matter what, this was a victory neither of you would ever forget.
