There's an ongoing joke between Katherine and me (and anyone else I happen to talk to) about the term "Raikou" referring to being psychic.

It originated from my Pokémon HeartGold playthrough -- the first time I went to the route before Olivine City, I immedaitely thought, "Hey, what if I run into one of the legendary dogs?'

And then? RAIKOU.

I had to catch it. Her name is Augur and she is going to learn Extrasensory (a psychic-type move) as soon as she gets to a high enough level. :D
