Pikachu Fighters 2

 (ピカチュウファイターズ：バトラーズのリターン Pikachu Fighters: Return of Heroes) is the second installment of the Pikachu Fighters series by X-Scissor. It was released in 2009 in America. It is about the motors holding up the hubworld, Float City, starting to break. A Pikachu named Kaichu must save the city by going down to the motors and entering the portals that have mysteriously formed on them. They all lead to different locations. Kaichu and friends must save the city by defeating all of the villains in the portals, thus fixing the motors. Once all seven are fixed, Float City may stay up. It was followed by Pikachu Fighters: Electrically in Trouble.

Battle
Battling in this game is very similar to battling in Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door. Kaichu has Jump, Hammer, ThunderBolt, Thunder, and Items. There are no Special Moves in this, though, which is a difference from PM:TTYD's battling style. You can equip badges, which affect your battle style in this.
