For some context on who Akari on the right is, let me explain. Akari is from the manga called 'How I became a Pokemon Card' which was only printed in japan, but some english translations have been made. Akari appeared in the last chapter. He basically wanted a pokemon but his mother refused to get him one, until it was the first day of school where he finally convinced his mom to get him a pokemon on his birthday. It was a Pikachu and he was NOT happy since he thought it was too girly. But after his Pikachu saved him and his friend from a group of Ariados, he learned it was that the looks doesn't matter, it's based on the personality Fun fact: Akari is trans. In the beginning of the chapter, Akari was trying to convince his mom not to make him wear a school uniform which made him wear a skirt, but still had to wear one to school
