In worlds full of creatures of variable shapes and sizes, there is one thing that will always stay in common
(Red) They need a cute and highly marketable mascot! Like Pikachu, the Mouse Pokemon
(Geo) and Jibanyan, the ultimate Bakeneko
(Ender) Both these competitors can posses numerous skills with the aid of allies. However, in this scenario, we will only be giving both of them their baseline abilities. So no Yo-Kai fusion, no EV or IV training, and no tutor, TMs or otherwise unnaturally learned moves. That being said, we will also be pulling in feats from varies forms of the character if they can be properly correlated to the main one
(Red) Which basically means we wont be including any feats performed by Raichus or by any of Jibanyan's other forms, unless its implied they can do the same. I'm Red, these two are Geo and Ender
(Ender) And its our job to analyse their weapons, armor, skills, feats and weaknesses to find out who would win A Death Battle
Pikachu, the Mouse Pokemon, is the mascot of the Pokemon world
(Red) Everywhere you look, you'll see Pikachu's face! To the point where its...actually kinda creepy
(Geo) Standing 1'04 and weighing a mere 13 pounds, Pikachu is certainly not the top of the food chain. Its biggest advantage is its overwhelming speed, allowing a play style focused around overwhelming your opponent with lightning fast movements
(Ender) And, being a Pokemon, Pikachu learns a wide variety of moves. They can lower a foe's attack with Growl and Play Nice, and lower their defense with Tail Whip
(Geo) It can boost its own speed with Agility, create multiple clones of itself with Double Team, ram into opponents at top speed with Quick Attack, bash them at full strength with Slam, negate a foe's defenses with Feint, reduce damage taken my special attacks by half with Light Screen and kick them with Double Kick
(Red) But we can't talk about Pikachu without talking about its most famous attribute: IT CAN SHOOT ELECTRICITY OUT OF ITS FACE! No really! Those rosy red cheeks? They are actually electric pouches that absorb and store electricity! And trust me when I say; they are NOT AFRAID to unleash it! They can zap foes Thunder Shock, Discharge or even the, clearly superior, Thunder Bolt!
(Ender) It can paralyze foes with moves like Thunder Wave and Nuzzle, unleash a large orb of electricity with Electro Ball-which hurts foes more when they are slower then Pikachu-, and infuse its own body with electricity for a powerful ramming attack with Spark and Wild Charge-the latter of which comes at the cost of recoil damage
(Red) But it's strongest move is Thunder! Which basically summons a GIANT lightning bolt to fry any unlucky sap below it!
(Geo) These are certainly some pretty devastating abilities, however that doesn't all make up for its somewhat lousy stats
(Red) Its SUPER frail! And like most Pokemon, it tends to rely on a trainer for strategy in a fight.
(Ender) And even though they can absorb electricity, it has been shown numerous times that absorbing too much of it is sure to be fatal. Also, while it has some certainly impressive moves, they all rely on PP in order to be used
(Red) HAHAHAHA! PP...
(Ender)...it stands for Power Points. Once a move is out of Power Points, that move becomes unusable by the Pikachu.
(Geo) But if given a chance, these guys are freaking tough! Just look at Ash's Pikachu alone! It fought against its superior form Raichu, from which it tanked a point blank Hyper Beam, and even defeated an Articuno! And since its still a Pikachu, and we've seen other Pikachu's be able to fight evenly with it, it appears these feats are plausible for other Pikachu's to accomplish with enough time and training
(Ender) So, by comparing Articuno and Pikachu's stats, it means he defeated a monster 30% stronger and 40% tougher then himself. So perhaps it is in good reason why Pikachu's are seen through this world as the most popular
(Red)...or probably because it's just cute
"Its nature is to store up electricity. Forests where nests of Pikachu live are dangerous, since the trees are so often struck by lightning."

(Geo) Somewhere off the coast of Japan sits a cozy, little town named Springdale. Home to a boy named Nate Adams, who possess a rather strange ability
(Red) He can see GHOOOOOSSSTTTTSSSS!
(Ender) These are the Yokai; supernatural beings of Japanese folklore. Though, these Yo-kai can posses all manor of powers over humans, causing them to perform certain actions or feel a certain way
(Red) And the most famous of these creatures is a red cat-demon thing with fire tails: Jibanyan!
(Geo) But before he was a Yo-Kai he was an ordinary house cat named Rudy. He saved his owner Amy from being run over by a truck in exchange for his life and his memories
(Red) He then spent his days afterwards possessing people to pick fights with cars! Nate was able to talk some sense into him and the two quickly became friends
(Ender) Jibanyan is a Charming Tribe Yo-Kai. This tribe of Yo-Kai specialize in amazing speed and decent offense in exchange for some lack-luster defense defense. And as a Yo-Kai, he can use 4 moves in combat
(Geo) He most often relies on his sharp claws to rip and scratch at foes. He can launch fireballs and use his inspirit move, Slow Down, to...well slow down enemies
(Red) Then there's his signature move: PAWS OF FURY! Which he perfected after his years of FIGHTING TRUCKS!...which he always loses to but hey!
(Ender) Even still he survived NUMEROUS blows from trucks of all types, moved fast enough to dodge rocket fire, tanked getting crush by Gargaros, and while fused with his friend Whisper he defeated a building sized opponent
(Geo) But he is far from flawless. He is weak to water based moves, is EXTREMELY lazy-preferring to spend most of him free time sleeping and eating-and never actually won any of his encounters with trucks without some form of outside influence. Also, as a Yo-Kai, taking to much damage can ultimate mean his...permanent demise
(Red) But even with his flaws, this is still one ass kicking flame kitty!

Alright the combatants are set. Lets end this debate once and for all
(Geo) The Electric Rodent vs The Flaming Ghost Kitty!
(Red) ITS TIME FOR A DEATH BATTLE!
A wild Pikachu runs out of a city gripping a chocolate bar in its mouth. It lays against a tree and smiles as it goes to eat it...only for a red blue to snatch it out of its hands. Pikachu looks up, seeing Jibanyan who eats the chocolate bar whole. Pikachu growls and charges into Jibanyan with Spark, getting its attention and stands ready for battle
FIGHT!
*cue Boss Battle Yo-Kai Watch
Pikachu charges forward with quick attack only to phase through it-an O.o expression appearing on its face. Jibanyan flies at Pikachu and slashes it 3 times with its claws before knocking it into the air and blasting it with fire. Pikachu lands and shakes off the hit before snorting. It quickly uses Agility to increase its speed. Jibanyan runs up closer and tries to slash Pikachu once more only for the pokemon to use Double Team and surround him. Jibanyan looks around as all the Pikachu's cheeks spark with electricity. He gulps as the camera zooms out, a large burst of electricity erupting from their arena. Jibanyan is sent flying before landing on the ground. He huffs and hisses before launching another fire ball at Pikachu, who uses Light Screen to block it. It then shoots Electroball at Jibanyan who jumps over it then uses Slow Down. Pikachu feels its speed drop before jumping backwards and beginning to build up electricity. "Piiiiiikkkkkaaaaaaa..." Its interrupted by Jibanyan, however, who uses his claws to swipe at Pikachu multiple times, knocking it into the air and swatting it back down with its tails. Pikachu stands and growls again before unleashing Discharge "CHUUU!". Jibanyan tries to run and dodge all the electricity being launched his way but gets tagged by a few bolts. Pikachu stops and pants tired. Jibanyan appears behind it, eyes flashing a menacing yellow
"PAWS!" He yells. Pikachu turns only to get attacked by a flurry of paw swipes "OF FURY!" Jibanyan lays into Pikachu with his signature move before switching into his claws again and scratching Pikachu rapidly-a small spark coming out of Pikachu's cheek onto his arm-before he knocks the mouse away, drawing a little blood.
"Pikaa..." Pikachu groans, struggling to stand. Jibanyan lands and runs at Pikachu again. Though he suddenly stopped in his tracks
"What the nya!?" He asked. His body sparked with electricity. Pikachu's Static paralyzed him. Pika huffs before generating more electricity
"PIKA!" It yells into the air. Jibanyan looked up and paled as storm clouds formed above him
"Uh oh..." He gulps. Soon, Pikachu unleashed Thunder. This causes a huge flash of light. When it clears, Jibanyan was no where to be found. Pikachu sits on its rear and scratches behind its ear
K.O!
Pikachu noms happily on some berries it found after the battle while nothing but smoke comes out of the spot Jibanyan once stood
(Red) Huh. The mouse beat a cat. Who woulda thought
(Ender) With Jibanyan's strength stat, combat experience on his own, and Pikachu's natural frailty, it wasn't a question of if Jibanyan could kill Pikachu. He certainly could if given the chance
(Geo) But rather their was a bigger question: Could Pikachu kill Jibanyan?
(Red) Well ghost kitty may have been tough enough to tank getting run over by trucks and moved fast enough to dodge missile fire. That doesn't really stack up against a BOLT OF LIGHTNING!
(Ender) The average lightning strike has been reported to strike with a force of 300 kV. That is more then the energy output of a nuclear reactor. And the average speed of which being 220,000 miles per hour. Even if we assume Robonyan's rockets are as fast as the BrahMos-the fastest missile ever invented-its speed would still only be a measly 2,300 miles per hour
(Geo) But we don't need to look solely at their stats. When comparing their arsenals, Jibanyan's lacked FAR more versatility then Pikachu-who has the ability to increase its own stats at will and possessed MULTIPLE means of paralyzing Jibanyan. In the end, Jibanyan may have been the physically stronger of the two and was better suited for solo battles. However, Pikachu was far to fast and far to versatile for Jibanyan to keep up with
(Red) Guess you could say this came as quite the...SHOCKING loss.
(Ender) The winner is Pikachu
Next Time On Death Battle:
*cue Rip & Tear
A man in green armor shoots multiple demons. He is seen crushing their skulls, ripping them in half and ripping their eyes out.
"And you are?"
A young man with black hair and armor holds a giant blade in his hand
