(*Cues: Invader - Jim Johnston*)
"When you think of an electric charged combatant, these two always come to mind. Pikachu, Ash's first Pokémon." Wiz said.
" And Blanka, the man-beast of Brazil." Boomstick followed.
Needless to say, Kaminari was really looking forward to this one since both fighters had the ability to control electricity much like him.
Everyone else was just curious but still invested.
"I'm Wizard and he's Boomstick, and it's our job to analyze their weapons, armor and skills, to find out who would win... a Death Battle." Wizard said before cutting to the analysis.
The first combatant was a tiny yellow rat with had two red circles on it's cheeks, which reminded a few of the students of Ochaco, most of the girls and Koda were gushing about how cute it was.
Pikachu
(*Cues: The Matter's Settled - Pokémon anime*)
BACKGROUND
Height: 0.4 m/ 1'4"
Weight: 6.0 kg/ 13.2 lbs
Ability: Static
Pokedex number 25
Dislikes his Pokeball
Likes Ketchup
Can absorb and use more electric power than a normal Pikachu
"Standing barely over one foot tall and weighing less than a newborn baby, Pikachu is the quick-footed electric mouse Pokémon, and the first under the command of Ash, a ten year old trainer from Pallet Town, because you don't need puberty to travel the world by yourself." Wiz started.
"I've heard stories about pre-teens becoming vigilantes." Tenya said."I don't really approve of the idea of a ten year old going on such a dangerous jorney on his own."
"I started my training when I was 13 years old." Aizawa admitted, to the shock of a lot of the students.
"I started training around that age too." Bakugo said.
"Training is one thing, jumping into action without experience or maturity." All Might said getting everyone's attention. "Don't forget that you are all technically still in training, you may have dealt with much more than most U.A. students, that doesn't mean you are still ready."
The students nodded at him, understanding what he said was true.
"Pikachu is now Ash's most loyal and trusted companion, but he sure didn't start that way. He was actually, kind of a dick. Then again, if a ten year old was trying to trap me in a tiny ball and make me fight other creatures to the death, I'd probably fuck him up too." Boomstick continue.
"Being so small, Pikachu has low stamina and physical strength, but more than makes up for it with speed. However, his EV training was arbitriary and inconsistent." Wiz said.
"EV-what now?" Boomstick asked in confusion along with some of the students.
"Effort Value training. Every time a Pokémon wins a battle, one of its abilities improve depending upon the opponent. Taking the first seasons of the show into account, we have compiled an estimation of Pikachu's statistics upon reaching his maximum level. By defeating so many Spearow early on, Pikachu's speed is off the charts." Wiz explained.
The students were impressed by Pikachu being able to beat all of those bird Pokemon.

MOVE SET
Thunderbolt
Type: Eletric (Special Attack)
10% chance of paralyzing target
Thunder
Type: Eletric (Special Attack)
30% chance of paralyzing target
Quick Attack
Type: Normal (Physical Attack)
Increased priority over opponent's attack
"The little lightning rat isn't just quick. He's got two incredibly powerful weapons built into his face! Those aren't just rosy cheeks, they're electricity sacks, which he uses for attacks like his trademark Thunderbolt, and when that won't do the trick, he can use the extra-fast Quick Attack to surprise his foes, or Iron Tail, which turns his tail hard as steel. Electro Ball is a projectile that, for some reason, deals more damage the slower an opponent is." Boomstick said.
"Does rose cheeks really remind me of you Ochaco." Tsuyu said.
Tsuyu's remark caused Ochaco to blush which in turn caused most of the female students and even so of the guys to chuckle.
Kaminari however was too distracted watching all of Pikachu's awesome abilities to listen to what his classmates were talking about.
"But when things get serious, he'll bust out his greatest attack. The Volt Tackle." Boomstick added.
The students see Pikachu running super fast until he was suddenly completely covered in electricity and they could only see his outline.
"The Volt Tackle strikes with the force of a mouse-powered megaton warhead, but there's a catch. Pikachu receives recoil damage equaling 33% of the total damage dealt. This move cannot be used lightly." Wiz explained.
This caused a lot of the students to look at Izuku, who blushed at the sudden attention.
"That sounds a lot like your quirk Deku." Ochaco said."When you use your quirk you damage your body."
"Dumbest weakness ever." Bakugo snipped.
"I-I'm getting better, if I keep my power under 10% it won't break my body." Izuku defended himself.
"And I am glad you have been improving young Midoriya." All Might said, Izuku blushed at the sudden praise from his favorite hero while Bakugo scoffed.
(*Cues: Pokémon - Gotta Catch 'Em All (Orchestra Version)*)
" Well that's dumb. It's like, "Hey I can kill you, but I'm gonna blow off my arm!""Boomstick said.
"See! Even Boomstick thinks it's a dumb weakness!" Bakugo said point towards the screen.
"Great, The drunk weapon obsessed who is divorced agrees with you." Tsuyu said."That's says more about you than about him, Ribbit."
Bakugo wanted to get up and blast her face, but he felt Aizawa's eyes on his like he knew what he was going to do, so Bakugo just stayed seated with while grumbling.
" Regardless, Ash's Pikachu is astounding. He's like a living battery, weaponized. Not only can he discharge an enormous amount of power, he can also absorb electricity and use it against his foes. In fact, he can conduct more wattage than any normal Pikachu, making him one of the toughest of his kind." Wiz said.
" Yeah, but he's got his limits, get too much electricity stored up and BOOM! No more Pikachu." Boomstick decided to add.
WEAKNESSES
Small and Fragile
Little Solo Battle Experience
Susceptible to Overcharge
Poor Defense Against Ground-Based Attacks
"So his powers are a double edged sword." Kaminari said with concern.
"Yeah, consider yourself lucky you only become an idiot when you use your powers too much." Kyouka said."Otherwise you would have died several times by now."
This caused a lot of students to chuckle and Kaminari to grumble.
" It's true. Pikachu is still a tiny mouse Pokémon with very clear limits. And even though he has long since reached his maximum potential, he refuses to evolve into the vastly superior Raichu due to some pretentious excuse of love and acceptance. What a waste of potential, can you imagine how powerful he could be as a Raichu?" Wiz asked in disbelief.
"Yeah, that sounds like a waste." Bakugo said, not realizing the irony in that statement considering is unwillingness to change.
Izuku had to mentally agree with Bakugo, Pikachu deciding not to become a Raichu would be like him deciding not to become a hero and just love and accept that he would always be a weakling, admitting that you need to become stronger doesn't make you weak or mean that there's anything wrong with you.
" But Pikachu's accomplished quite a lot of impressive feats on his own. He's beaten legendary Pokémon and developed new fighting techniques like the Counter Shield and Midair Spin Dodge. He may be the size of a squirrel, but he's one tough fighter." Boomstick admitted.
" Pikachu!" Pikachu said.
The students and teachers then see what seemed to a man with green skin and an insanely large Mohawk, he was acting like a monkey or gorilla and had electricity emanating from his body.
Blanka
(*Cues: Blanka's theme - Metal Cover*)
"As a child, Jimmy Blanka was a pale-skinned Brazilian boy. That is, until the horrific plane crash..." Wiz stated explaining.
"Like "Lost"!" Boomstick commented.
"He sure doesn't look like it." Kaminari said with confusion.
"They probably explain it later, so shut up and watch!" Bakugou said angerly.
BACKGROUND
Height: 1.92 m / 6;3.5"
Weight: 98 kg / 217 lbs
Real name: James "Jimmy"
Hobbies: Hunting, electrical work
Previously pale skinned
Friends with Dan & Sakura
Survived in Amazon for years
"Of which he was the sole survivor, stranded in the Amazon. Trapped in an area filled with dangerous predators, he was forced to camouflage himself day and night. After many years of this, his skin absorbed enough chlorophyll to turn a permanent green hue." He continued.
"So that's why his skin is green." Ojiro commented.
"Is that a thing that can happen?" Mina asked.
"No it's not." Tenya, Momo and Tsuyu said at the same time.
"Really? I always thought he was just some kind of jungle monster beast guy." Boomstick admitted with surprise.
" Despite his appearance, Blanka is actually extremely passive and gentle. However, piss him off and he enters an unstoppable bloodlust." Wiz continued his explanation.
"Well, that seems like a pretty drastic change." Boomstick said.
"Yeah I was about to say that myself." Rikido said in agreement with Boomstick.
"I'm pretty sure you would be like that if you were stranded in the amazon for almost a decade." Kirishima said.
"Indeed, that people who return from places like that after several years without therapy." Tenya said.
"But before he was old enough to fight the predators himself, he was forced to live off electric eels as his primary food source. After years of this diet, he developed a high resistance to electricity and somehow gained the ability to produce similar electric shocks." Wiz said.
"Be right back! Getting eels!" Boomstick said running off.
"No, Boomstick, it doesn't work like that. Plus, we kind of have a show to do." Wiz told his co-host.
"Fine, but afterwards, I'm proving you wrong." Boomstick told him back.
This cause the students and teachers to chuckle, some however turned towards Kaminari after they were done laughing.
"Kaminari, have you ever tried to absorb natural lightning, you know like Thunderbolts from the sky or from an eel?" Izuku asked. "I've seen you absorb electricity from a battery but never from a natural source."
"I've tried standing on the roof of my house during a thunderstorm." He admitted.
"Did it work?" Kyouka asked.
"Once, I don't know how I did it the first time so I couldn't do it again." He shamefully admitted and Kyouka tried to hold her laughter.
"Okay. Blanka eventually found his way to civilization by complete accident, and found a friend in Dan Hibiki, the absolute worst Street Fighter on earth." Wiz said.
The students and teachers so a guy with a pony tail wearing a pink gi, despite only seeing images of him they could tell he was a huge joke.
"Ah, Dan. Couldn't get any real people friends, so you had to resort to jungle Frankenstein over here." Boomstick joked, causing the students to chuckle.
MOVE SET
Amazon River Run
Rock Crusher
Electric Thunder
Beast Roll
Vertical Beast Roll
Backstep Beast Roll
Grand Shave Roll
Chargable spin attack
Shout of Earth
Can electrify the ground or shoot a bolt straight up
Lightning Cannonball
Electric spin attack
"After arriving in the city, Blanka entered the second World Warrior Tournament, and discovered he was one of the most agile competitors there, leaping and ducking around his opponents with ease, like a jungle monkey, which is basically what he is." Wiz said.
The students saw Blanka fighting against Zangief and they saw how vicious he was in the fight.
"For a self thought jungle man he is not half bad." Rikido admitted and the other students nodded.
"He uses a self-taught martial art, which he learned while fighting...friggin' crocodiles and jaguars, that's what!" Boomstick said.
The students were shocked at hearing this, but suddenly the were caught of guard my the sound of scribbling, they looked at Izuku and Mei but they weren't the ones writing anything.
Suddenly they turned to the teachers and saw that Aizawa was the one writing something in a notepad he brought with him.
"This will make for some interesting training exercises for you guys." He said with one of is usual creepy smiles.
The students were shocked and scared at hearing this, so scared in fact that the color left their bodies completely for a moment, except for Bakugou who had a grin on his face that said "Bright it on!"
"He has several unique attacks, like the Beast Roll, with which he hurdles through the air like a bullet, obliterating all laws of physics." Wiz continued.
"I dunno which jaguar or crocodile taught him that move, but shit, I want it! That aside, he's also got a few super moves. The Ground Shave Roll is a chargeable spin attack, and with Shout of Earth Blanka can fire off a wave of uncontrolable electric energy. But you really gotta watch out for the Lightning Cannonball, where he rockets forward as spinning ball of electric death." Boomstick said before show some footage of Blank hitting Balrog with the Lightining Cannonball.
Kaminari was really impressed by the moves Blanka was displaying, but it seemed that a lot of Blanka's moves needed a large amount of brute force, which wasn't in his field expertise, he would need to work on his muscles if he ever decided to try and learn Blanka's moves.
WEAKNESS
Preferably docile
Susceptible to cold
Never won a tournament
Only formal training came from Dan Hibiki
"Blanka is a deadly fighter and obviously an extremely tough survivor. However, his greatest weakness comes from his lack of formal training. In fact, the only training he's ever had was under the tutelage of... guess..." Wiz dared.
"Don't say it..." Boomstick started to speak but Wizard cut him off.
"Dan Hibiki." He answered.
"That's like anti-training." Boomstick said with disapointement.
FEATS
Grew up alone in the Amazon
Honed skills against predators
Found his long-lost family
Local hero
Represented Brazil in the second World Warrior tournament
Immune to most viruses
The students and teachers were very disappointed he was trained by a man who was an absolute joke, but none were more disappointed than Aizawa.
"Such a shame, he was so much potential, I can only imagine all the such he could pull off if he had some proper training." Aizawa said shaking his head. "I would have given him the training he diverse and needs."
The students and even All Might and Nezu were very weirded out how passionate he was being about this.
" And yet, he has proven his combat skills time and time again. Though he did not win the World Warrior Tournament, he was picked from hundreds to represent Brazil, and through it, rediscovered his mother and hometown. At long last, Blanka had come home." Wiz said.
"Most terrifying family reunion ever." Boomstick commented.
The students were very happy Blanka was back home and his mother didn't mind his new appearance, after that they see some footage of Blanka plays and jumps around with children while he laughs, and after that analyses ends.
(*Cues: Pokémon - Lance Battle Final (Remastered)*)
The students didn't know who to pick, but fighters were great in their own right, but in the end Koda, Momo, Mina, Tooru, Nezu, Ochaco, Tsuyu, Ojiro, and Mineta voted for Pikachu and the rest of the students and teachers voted for Blanka, Kaminari however didn't know who to pick, he was considering refrusing to vote, but since Bakugou insisted if he didn't vote it would be cheating, so decided to vote for Pikachu.
Pikachu and Blanka face each other in a forest, presumably the Amazon, and the students and teachers were at the edges of their seats.
FIGHT!
Blanka attacks Pikachu and knocks him backwards. Pikachu then jumps back and attacks him with a Thunderbolt, but no dice.
"Not good enough!" Blanka said.
"Whoa, the thungerbolt had no effect!" Mina said in shock.
"Blanka can not only store electricity but is also resistant to it, much like Pikachu." Tenya said.
"Yeah, but Blanka has more brute force than Pikachu!" Bakugou said. "Pikachu is getting his tiny yellow ass trashed!"
"Pikachu is still faster than Blanka, he could probably outwit Blanka." Momo theorized.
"Somehow I doubt it." Kyouka admitted.
Blanka attacks Pikachu with a Beast Roll, and knocks the electric mouse out of the air and down to the ground, but Pikachu quickly gets back on his feet and charges at Blanka with a Quick Attack, flying by him numerous times and then hitting him head on.
"Ooof! That sounds like it hurt." Tooru said, flinching at bit at Blanka getting hit in the head.
"Yeah, if his tail actually becomes strong like steel when he uses that attack than I bet it will hurt." Ojiro claimed.
Pikachu follows it up by quickly jumping back into the air, and starts to spin as he hits Blanka in the head with an Iron Tail. He then charges at Blanka, picks him up and starts to roll him backwards to throw him upwards, only for Blanka to quickly get back down and do the same.
However, just before Pikachu hits the ground, Blanka uses his Electric Thunder move to attack Pikachu, but Pikachu retaliates with a Thunder attack.
(*Cues: Street Fighter IV - Survive the Jungle (Blanka's Theme)*)
Blanka is knocked backwards, while Pikachu lands on his feet, and quickly follows it up with another Thunderbolt, but Blanka simply blocks it again and charges at Pikachu with another Beast Roll. Pikachu charges at him as well, but uses the midair spin dodge technique to go right by him.
Blanka stops rolling, wondering where his opponent went as Pikachu charges up and fires an Electro Ball. Blanka looks through his legs behind him, only to get hit by the attack and fall down.
"Seems like Pikachu is finally starting to turn this fight around…" Tokoyami claimed.
"Tch! Those hit only seem like they are more likely to only make him angrier rather than hurt him." Bakugo claimed.
"Guess we will see, it seems this fight is reaching it's climax…" Todoroki proclaimed pointing at the screen.
(*Cues: Burning Battlefield - Pokemon Anime*)
Pikachu gives a peace sign as Blanka jumps back up and rockets forward at Pikachu with a Lightning Cannonball, to which Pikachu attacks back with a Volt Tackle.
The attacks collide together and electricity is flying everywhere. The camera zooms in to see both Pikachu and Blanka firmly keeping their attacks going.
The students and teachers were at the very edge of their seats, they knew for a fact that after this attack was done the winner was going to be decided.
But what happened next caught them all off guard…
Blanka grabs Pikachu and bites his head off. Blanka then pulls out a blender and puts the rest of Pikachu's body in it. The man-beast drinks what's been made, belches with a few sparks coming out of his mouth, and then starts scratching his chin.
K.O.!
(*Cues: Pitch-Black Jungle - Street Fighter IV*)
The moment that happened the entire class was silent with looks of shock in their faces, it seemed like the colors were completely washed out of their bodies.
A few were quicker to recover from others, Bakugo was the first, he started letting out a loud laugh while slapping his knee, claiming it was "the most hilarious shit his seen like weeks!"
Koda was next, he started letting out a loud cry, a cry that would put Izuku's to shame, they all had o mentally wonder how their dorms weren't flooded with how much Koda was crying.
All the girls that voted for Pikachu were also crying, when they saw Koda crying they all decided to give him a group hug, Kyouka and the teachers sweat dropped at the whole scene while Mineta was bitting his lower lip in jeaoulsy at Koda getting hugged by a bunch of their female classmates.
"You know, I've always wanted to eat a Pokémon." Boomstick admitted and the students looked at the screen in shock, and as if he knew he would like weird looks from admitting that he added. "What? They look delicious!"
This only caused Koda to cry harder and Bakugo to laugh harder.
" Pikachu may be powerful, but he can't compete with Blanka's ruthless skill." Wiz claimed.
Pikachu
Inconsistent glass-cannon
Improper training
Too reliant on trainer commands
Resistant to electrical attacks
Much faster
Lower stamina & strength
Blanka
Better survival skills
Resistant to electric & steel attacks
Longer reach
Quick enough to keep up
Better stamina & strength
Has experience killing small animals
More lethal
"Even though Pikachu was clearly quicker on his feet, his attacks had little effect. Blanka can resist the electric attacks, and the Iron Tail's a steel-type move, which, as we all know, is weak against electricity. Pikachu's only option was to outmatch Blanka's physical strength and stamina, which was just too much for the little guy." Boomstick explained.
"Told ya!" Bakugo said being all smug.
"And despite keeping a clear head, Pikachu rarely shows any exemplary competence or aptitude on his own. Many of his greatest achievements are actually a result of his trainer's quick thinking or downright luck." Wiz explained.
"Everything was going well, until Pikachu lost his head." Boomstick joked, much to Koda's annoyance.
" The winner is Blanka." Wiz declared.
Everyone clapped for Blanka's victory and for Pikachu putting up a good fight.
"Next time on Death Battle!" Boomstick said, once again getting everybody's attention.
They then hear a voice of someone chanting "Kamehameha" and a blast of blue energy shoots a strange symbol that resembled an "S".
Wiz and Boomstick started freaking out about it.
The students and teachers didn't know why, but they had a feeling the next Death Battle was going to be a big one…
