"Yeah but.. I knew how strong his Thunderbolt attack is-I coulda given you a heads up. See, we're just kinda used to Team Rocket coming up with these whacky robots that can absorb electricity. Well, to a point. We over powered pretty much all of those, too." Ash admits, looking thoughtful.
"Pikachu? (Are you okay?)" Pikachu asks, watching Dustin carefully. He really over did it, he should have known not to go full power immediately. Now it looks like this Thunderbolt could have done some real damage.
"I guess I should go ahead and mention it Pikachu can produce at least a hundred thousand volts at a time."
Dustin just waves Ash's explanation off at this point. No use trying to assign blame anywhere (especially not when it's so much easier for Dustin to just blame himself and get on with his life), corroborating data points involving robots or otherwise. It's when Ash gives him a number that Dustin actually perks up - and looks properly annoyed.
"Yeah, yeah, I'm not gonna die," he says first at Pikachu's fussing, before narrowing his attention in on Ash. "--Is that an estimate, or have you actually measured his output before?"
