I thought it was going to suddenly cut to the kid friendly anime.

Like all these pokemon are living very adult lives, surrounded by homocide, rape, and pokemon trafficing.

Then suddenly Ash shows up and he's like PIKACHU! You can't smoke! Silly Pikachu! I choose you!

And pikachu is like PIKA PIKA! PIKACHU!

And it's the cheery colorful kid friendly world like you see on the official anime.

Then it cuts back to the dark gritty style, and Ash is just standing there, drooling, saying "pika pika pikachuuuuuu!!!"

The only reason the pokemon only say their own name on the show is because you're seeing it through Ash's eyes. But Ash's mom was assaulted when she was pregnant, and that's why she never leaves the house.

So pikachu is trying to explain to Ash how it's dangerous out here, and he shouldn't be here alone. But Ash is essentially a special needs kid, so none of that absorbs. He just hears pikachu saying his own name.
