 ===== Personality =====
-The easiest way of picturing the relationship between Keith and his Raichu is to imagine the Raichu in a parental role, albeit without the hierarchic implication - Raichu does not expect Keith to listen to him any more than Keith expects Raichu to listen to him. They each have their points of expertise - Keith can boss Raichu around during gym battles, Raichu can boss Keith around during visits from the legendaries or the Arbiter. They know when they need to defer to each other.

 Raichu is intensely protective over Keith, having no tolerance for any sort of threats made against him. It would give its life to protect him. Interestingly enough, this isn't reciprocated - Keith would be very upset to lose Raichu but would avoid doing anything suicidal in an attempt to save it. Beyond that, he takes very good care of it and it spends most of its time out of its pokéball, partaking in his every day life.
-Having seen so much of its domesticated time in actual real time, Raichu is one of the most intelligent pokémon on Sehto as a whole, likely only surpassed only by the legendaries.

+===== History =====
+Keith's Raichu began its life with Keith as a bred [[http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Pichu_(Pok%C3%A9mon)/Generation_II_learnset#By_leveling_up|Pichu]] when he was in his early teens. Initially, their current roles were reversed, but by the time Keith went on the [[:Sehto gym circuit]], Raichu had already established itself as a guardian angel. It's always battled fantastically at his side and almost //enjoys// the practise (if certainly only on a meta-level). In [[place:Taqnateh]], it battled [[pokémon:Vendetta]] and gave the psychic pokémon a significantly harder time than average, but ultimately lost - and the rest of Keith's line-up was chewed through far more effortlessly. Knowing Vendetta's stance on its voluntary obedience, it hates him, a sentiment that's certainly mutual.
+It certainly understands that most pokémon are not as lucid as it is about their position, however, and even brief discussion with [[character:Jagdish Tsukinaka]] made it defer to the [[:Legendaries|Legendary Council]] once it learnt that Keith would be allowed to live. It has, though, refused to inform itself about the details of his punishment and prefers to (emotionally) pretend none of it occurred, having avoided Keith during the same and while he recovered from it, simply because it's aware its ties to Keith would have made it act in ways that would serve no one and probably result in its own death at the hands of [[pokémon:Vendetta]].
+Since [[place:Taqnateh]], Raichu has promised to keep a firmer eye on Keith and offered itself as personally responsible for his good behaviour, something it believes applies not only to pokémon but to humans as well, which has granted [[character:Jagdish Tsukinaka]] a deep respect for its (unfortunately unusual) wisdom.
+In its entire lifespan, it's never seen the inside of a pokéball except as a form of stasis post-battling, ideally fortunate in that regard (as opposed to no experience with pokéballs, which in pokémon battling is excessively cruel; and as opposed to constant stasis but for battling, which is similarly ridiculous).

 As the group makes motions indicating taking their leave, the Raichu's eyes narrow briefly, almost analytically, before it takes a step back itself in gesture of goodwill. It's still 'guarding' the door and its 'wish' has evidently remained the same - that they leave - but it's now quite noticably simmering down. A few moments later, it's shifted its weight into something more casual, almost a sit, its long, thin tail curling around its shape, tip idly clattering against the ground.
