Pokemon Episode 6 "Clefairy and the Moonstone"

In the beggining of this episode Ash, Misty, Brock and pikachu find a man being attacked by zubats so ash has pikachu use thunderbolt.  We find out that the scientest's name is seemore but more importantly this episode revolves around the idea that these clafairy came from space and that they have been stealing items all over town to make a space ship. The clefairy steal pikachu later in the episode and stick him in a glass jar with a bunch of gizmos on it.  We find out later the the clefairy plan to use pikachu as a "Battery" to power their ship when in goes into space. To make pikachu use thunder attacks a little toy hammer comes down and bonks pikachu on the nose. I thought that was the funniest part of the whole episode... maybe its because im 17? Who knows but the moral of the story is that pikachu being an electric pokemon was used as a battery.  This however is not the first time we've seen pikachu being used as a battery.  In the episode where team rocket tries to steal pokemon from the pokemon center all those pikachu are doing is running around in circles creating power, serving as a backup generator. Using pokemon like this may seem unethical but i believe it is a great idea to use the natural recorces around you to creat a better working systeme... especially if it doesnt come out of your electric bill.
