Heh.


Oh wait  :-\  ... why'd they use Pokemon instead of D&D ?

(I mean I get the Pikachu part, shooting lightning out of it's "tail" and all)

More people understand Pokemon (or at least the author does) compared to D&D.  Each Pokemon came, in its ball, with another Pokeball.  Hence, the summoning loop.
