Pikachu will greet you and then the fun can begin. You can ask Pikachu a bunch of questions and they'll give you a combination of Piks, Pikas and Pikachus. If you really want to have fun with Pikachu, try out these phrases to get Pikachu talking.

When you've spoken with Pikachu enough for one day, simply say "Bye, Pikachu" and the yellow mouse Pokémon will leave.
