YOU'VE BEEN PIKACHU'D ⚡

This taxidermied Pikachu has chosen you.

Do not question why. Do not laugh. This is very serious business.

You must forward this Pikachu to ONE (1) other person within the next 10 days.

If you comply:

You will experience mild luck
Your phone will mysteriously charge faster
People will think you look "well rested"

If you DO NOT comply:

20 live squirrels (I mean Pikachus) will be mailed to your loved ones
This will occur weekly
For ONE FULL YEAR
No tracking. No warning.

These squirrels will be:

Energetic
Judgmental
Legally not your problem

This chain letter has been in circulation since 1999 and has survived:

Dial-up internet
MySpace
Two Pokémon reboots

The last person who broke the chain now works in middle management and hates cilantro.

Somewhere in France, a seller listed a taxidermied Pikachu on the internet. No one asked why. Someone answered the call. The chain had not yet begun, but something was already in motion.

It all began on an innocuous shelf. Left there innocently enough, discovered in under 24 hours. The letter was written. The chain was born.

Stop #2 · 28 miles from origin

A short but spiritually significant journey. Pikachu remained unimpressed by the traffic.

Coast to coast. Reportedly nonplussed by the skyline.
