This review is from: Raichu Shows Off (Pokemon Jr. Chapter Book, 6) (Paperback)

This book is about a Pokemon trainer named Kay and her Raichu. Kay works on a showboat where Pokemon trainers make it look like their Pokemon can talk. A typical day on the showboat goes on like this: The Pokemon do a performance on stage, and move their lips as if they're talking, but their trainers, who're hiding behind the scenes, talk when the Pokemon's lips move so it looks as if the Pokemon are talking. When Kay first got her Raichu, she thought Raichu was so cute, but when she hugged Raichu, Raichu accidently shocked her. Unfortunately, when Raichu accidently shocked Kay, she reacted and tossed Raichu against a crate, hurting him. Now, Kay is afraid to handle Raichu because she's afraid she'll get shocked again. Not only that, Kay's nervousness makes Raichu nervous, too, so it's impossible for Raichu and Kay to work together. And to further complicate matters, Raichu can't stand anyone handling him because he's afraid they'll hit him. As if Raichu and Kay didn't have enough problems, Team Rocket decides to steal all the Pokemon on the showboat, and Kay and Raichu must learn to work together if they want to stop Team Rocket.
