This one requires a bit of backstory...
So. When I was a child, my father got me a specific Pikachu plush for me, an Advanced Battle 2004 Pikachu. He bragged that it was the last one in the store, since this was for Christmas, and it made it all the more special to little baby me. Like most children, my favorite Pokemon was Pikachu, and I was so happy to have one to play with in real life, since I didn't have any of the games. I carried that poor stuffed toy everywhere, along with a stuffed dog named Scrappy, and they were my dearest companions as a kid. When I got older, however, my Pikachu just vanished. This isn't a 'my mom probably threw it out and lied to me'- Mom knew exactly how much that toy meant to me. It was there one day, and the next, completely gone. Fast forward many years, and I get Super Mystery Dungeon for my 3ds. I tried to play it once, but my team of Snivy and Riolu just, wasn't making it through. But I enjoyed the game, so in late 2017, I went back to it, this time choosing a Turtwig as my character- and a female Pikachu as my partner. I proceeded to get INCREDIBLY attached to my partner, Ellie. I celebrated her triumphs, I mourned her losses, I resented characters for being mean to her. And when the game ended, I was devastated. I sped through the postgame as quickly as I could to get her back. I'm never deleting that save file, because I could never bear to delete the original Ellie. Afterwards, when my father asked me what I wanted for my upcoming 18th birthday, I found an Ebay listing for the same kind of plush Pikachu I'd had as a child- I needed to get the new one from him again. She arrived after my birthday, but I was still thrilled to have her, and obviously, I named her Ellie, after my partner. She goes everywhere with me, at home and in public, and we can have adventures together forever now.
Look at that smile... she's flawless
Baby Facts
Even though she's a stuffed toy, I have a lot of lore for Ellie, including stats. She's a trans girl, with a scar in the middle of her tail. She's only level 2, since she prefers not to battle in this body, we'll get to that. She's rash natured, and somewhat of a clown (my silly girl). She's also an Alolan Pikachu- Ellie is part psychic type, which she uses to make herself a hivemind. Every Pikachu can be an Ellie, if she wants- she just needs to inhabit that body! So she can come with me to every game I play :3
Speaking of the games!
