Ash bends down and scoops Pikachu up, holding him tightly. If it's a little uncomfortable, Pikachu doesn't show it and just glances up at Ash, waiting to see if he'll actually answer or brush it off like he usually does. He knows his trainer hates to show weakness, especially because he's convinced others will think less of him if he does.
"Lysandre..." Ash starts but trails off. "I don't really know how to explain what he did without going into detail about a lotta stuff back home." He admits, a little sheepish but now there's a weight in his words that wasn't there before.
"But I guess, the easiest way to put is- he wanted to.. achieve world peace by recreating the world. Except, he actually just wanted to destroy it. In the Kalos region there's this Legendary Pokemon called Zygarde that's supposed to watch over and keep order in the region. Lysandre and Team Flare built a machine that let him take control of it and used it to destroy Lumiose City-it's mostly rebuilt now but a lot of people.." A lot of people didn't make it that day. Pikachu squirms so that he can climb up to Ash's shoulder and rubs his cheek reassuringly.
"He found out that I have this special ability that allows me to use my energy to give one of my Pokemon a power boost and he tried to use that too. Greninja and I were able to fight off the mind control waves but I think Pikachu's still upset that it happened."
"Pikapi.." Pikachu says sadly. He knows that Ash is also still upset about it, he just won't admit it.
"Anyways, sorry about what happened. We'll try to keep better control of it next time."
