Pikachu Christmas

Pichu, on the other hand, is much smaller, barely half the height of Pikachu. Its body is round, almost a yellow ball with short legs that sink into the snow. Its ears are enormous in proportion to its head and have black tips, but one is slightly torn (a reminder of when they tried to recapture them). Its cheeks are pink and smaller than Pikachu's, and occasionally they involuntarily release small static shocks, especially when it's nervous or very happy. It still has that childlike sheen in its fur, although it's also dirty and matted. Its eyes are huge and round, always shining with curiosity or barely holding back tears. It's cheerful by nature, but that joy now comes in short bursts: it gets excited when it sees a lit Christmas tree, it laughs when it steps on the snow and makes a "crunch" sound, but then suddenly remembers that they don't have a home and falls silent, hugging Pikachu's tail. Pichu is talkative, innocent, and a bit clumsy. He asks all sorts of questions: "Why do humans put lights in trees?", "Do you think our trainer is looking for us?", "Will we get presents this year?" Pikachu never knows how to answer without breaking his heart, so he usually grunts, "Don't ask silly questions," and gently nudges him to keep walking.

Pikachu is the older one. His yellow fur is a little dull and worn from time and neglect; it no longer shines as it once did, but it still retains that warm and recognizable hue. The tips of his ears are slightly folded forward, as if the weight of memories has tired them. His cheeks hold the classic red pouches, but now they only spark weakly when he's excited or angry; he no longer shoots lightning bolts like before, only small, sad sparks that illuminate the snowy ground for a second. His large, black eyes hold a mixture of resignation and protectiveness: he always looks ahead, but out of the corner of his eye, he constantly watches his little brother. He is serious, quiet, and somewhat grumpy. He speaks little, but when he does, his voice is hoarse and firm. He's the one who makes the decisions: where to sleep, which container to check for food, how to hide if a human appears. He carried the burden of abandonment longer, so he became distrustful, but he never stopped looking after Pichu. Deep down, he is profoundly loyal and has a huge heart. He just doesn't know how to show it anymore without seeming weak.
