Note: In this sad story, Ritchie had a dream that he and Sparky were in danger from the Raichu and its Pikachu herd and when the Raichu went to attack him, Sparky attacked the Raichu to save his trainer, but the Raichu hurt him so much with its attacks that he bled. Ritchie was so moved by Sparky's sacrifice for him that he was about to cry when he saw him injured and passed out. Sparky came to his senses when the Raichu went to attack his trainer again and he immediately attacked the Raichu with a very powerful Thunderbolt that wiped out all of his enemies in the end. Ritchie was happy that Sparky was able to defeat his enemies, but was very worried about his injury and called him to come to him. As Sparky walked over to his trainer, he suddenly passed out again and Ritchie became more worried as he took him in his arms and tried to wake him up,
but he didn't answer him when he realized that he died, he burst into tears because he didn't want to lose any of his Pokémon.
