Did Eevee really have to steal Pikachu's schtick?

The Pokémon School is visited by one of its brightest recent graduates, Ilima. When Tupp of Team Skull gets wind of his appearances, it awakens raw feelings of a perceived slight.


  • Action Prologue: Ilima vs Kagetora, using their Eevees.
  • Curb-Stomp Cushion: Eevee for the large part runs rings around Team Skull's Pokemon, though Tupp throughs a happy fit when his Salandit manages to land a hit. One. Single. Hit. Ilima has to politely tell him the battle isn't over yet before blasting them all off with Eevee's Z Move.
  • The Knights Who Say "Squee!": Ash and Lillie fanboy in unison over Ilima.
  • Parrot Pet Position: Much like Pikachu with Ash, Eevee frequently clings to Ilima's shoulder.
  • Unknown Rival: Ilima is totally oblivious to Tupp's perceived slight.
