|
The Pichu Brothers made their debut in Pikachu & Pichu, where they encountered Ash's Pikachu after he became lost when he fell from a nearby building. At the time, Ash was preparing a party to celebrate the anniversary of when he and Pikachu first met. Together, Pikachu and the Pichu Brothers traveled across Big Town while being chased by a Houndour, who eventually helped them when the local Pokémon Playhouse began to collapse. In Of Meowth and Pokémon (Part One), the Pichu Posse became caught up in a mix-up involving Smoochum's picnic basket and Meowth's basket. In Of Meowth and Pokémon (Part Two), Meowth recruited the Posse to help deliver pizzas and do garden maintenance to earn money. Both jobs went badly wrong—the pizzas were ruined or eaten before delivery, and the parkland was flooded after a series of accidents. To apologize, the Pichu Brothers and their friends gave Meowth some acorns. In Trouble in Big Town, the Pichu Brothers argued heatedly over who would go down a slide first. Pichu Little and Wooper ran off, fleeing to a nearby park where Pichu Little stole a vendor's helium balloons. He floated into the air and had to deal with shifting wind currents and a Murkrow while Pichu Big and the others searched the city for him. The Posse was eventually reunited and returned to the Clubhouse to play again. In Big Meowth, Little Dreams (Part One), the Pichu Posse helped Meowth track down his missing sandwich and later discovered the invisible culprit, a Kecleon. It explained that it had stolen the food to feed a lost Azurill—the same Azurill that Azumarill had been expecting earlier that day. With both mysteries solved, the Pichu Brothers and their friends joined Azumarill for a dinner celebrating Azurill's arrival. In Big Meowth, Little Dreams (Part Two), Azumarill asked the Pichu Brothers to look after Azurill, but the young Pokémon wandered off while under their watch. They later found Azurill safe in an alleyway. In Pichu Bros. in Party Panic, Meowth planned to throw a party, but the Pichu Brothers and their friends had not received invitations. They set out to find one, only to discover that an Azumarill had been holding their invitations the entire time and had not yet delivered them. The invitations then flew away, leading to another adventure to retrieve them. In Camp Pikachu, the Pichu Brothers became lost far from home after a train ride. With help from Pikachu, several of Ash's and Misty's Pokémon, and a Wynaut, they managed to catch a train back home. The Pichu Brothers and the Clubhouse appeared during the credits of the Japanese version of The Rise of Darkrai and made another cameo at the beginning of Giratina and the Sky Warrior. Their most recent appearance was in Meloetta's Moonlight Serenade, where they were among the Pokémon watching Meloetta's concert. The Pichu Brothers also appeared in the 2001 version of Mezase Pokémon Master, running along a pipe beneath a bridge where Ash and his friends were standing. |

Codex Statistics Questions
Q: Shouldn't at least late series Pokémon get Faster Than Light due to being able to dodge solar beam?
A: Solar beam is absorbing light and then shooting out a blast, it is not a light speed attack but an energy blast that absorbs light energy. On top of this, Pokémon cannot dodge this move without lowering the opponents accuracy or raising their own speed. Dazzling Gleam is a flash of light that is also 100% accuracy. Flash which is a literal flash of light is 100% accuracy. So it's clear light speed attacks are generally unmissable unless their accuracy drop or a character ups their speed to make it harder to tag them. Further examples of them not being this speed, Dragonite is pretty consistently stated in its pokedex as an impressive speed feat for it to circle the globe in 16 hours, and Garchomp is treated as impressive for being able to keep up with planes and fly at sonic speeds. Pidgeot is hyped for being able to fly at Mach 2[4].

But when the Pichu Bros. start to argue with each other, it gets out of control and everyone gets zapped with electricity! That stuns the Pichu Bros., and one Pichu falls on a skateboard that rolls away. It rolls so far away, nobody knows where that Pichu is. When Pichu wakes up, it starts to return to its friends, but gets distracted when it sees a balloon seller. Pichu tries to take all the balloons, except the balloons end up taking Pichu for a ride up into the sky! Meanwhile, Pichu's brother and the other Pokémon have found the skateboard, but no sign of the missing Pichu. As they search the area, the lost Pichu spots them and cries for help. Even though they hear it, they don't think to look up. Once they do spot Pichu, the breeze keeps blowing Pichu further and further away. The Pokémon friends chase after it, but they end up stumbling across a grumpy Houndour, falling into a canal, and being saved by a Feraligatr—while Pichu is still stuck floating through the air. A Murkrow sees the balloons and begins to pop them with its beak. This means Pichu is losing altitude, but not fast enough—the last balloon pops when Pichu still has a long way to fall! Luckily, Teddiursa and Wooper are there to cushion the fall, and everyone returns to their alley hangout. The Pichu Bros. start fighting again, and Magby brings in Azumarill to help stop the fight. But when the Pichu Bros. accidentally zap everyone, Azumarill is the angriest one of all! And once Azumarill is mad enough use Water-type attacks, Smoochum and Magby lose their temper and start using attacks too. But the combination of water, ice, and fire creates twisting ice slides, and soon the fighting is forgotten. It's time for everyone to have fun playing on the slides, the way things should be!"
