This Pikachu video is shocking

Ah, science. We're not exactly sure how this experiment works, at least this blogger isn't (being a history major and all), but we still love it. Why? Because Pikachu gets to shoot out electrical bolts in real life.

We always knew the little critter had it in him, but what other Pokemon characters' powers would you like to see recreated scientifically?

Also, if any of you Bill Nye types want to explain the workings of Tesla coils, go right ahead.
