A/N: Written for the Diversity Writing Challenge, Section A prompt #025 – riddle poetry. So here's your riddle. It's anime verse, not compatible with BW and past. Answer's at the end if you don't get it. But no peaking!

Guess Who at the Top!

I shine bright but am not the sun,
yellow with soft red cheeks like a strawberry bun
and a tail that marks my craft, my type
and a tail that can fell rocks in one strong swipe.

I can charge forward with the might of a lightning bolt
crashing into my opponent for that extra jolt.
I can jump around the stage with bursts of speed
faster than most others can take heed.

I can't fly, and there's only so high I can jump
but that's fine; we still get over every bump
together: my partner, my best friend and I.
To each other, we can never say goodbye.

Together, we'll reach the top: a grand-slam,
so tell me, fellow fan, who you know I am.

The answer is Ash's Pikachu. :D
