I know it seems like an odd choice for a convergent, but termites produce hydrogen, which makes them pests that can also produce energy , just like Pikachu.
Only fully grown termites can produce hydrogen, as the young ones don't have the microbial ecosystem in their gut to digest wood, and hydrogen produces a blue flame when burnt, and is otherwise colorless as a gas.
I can call them: Woochu, Woodchu, and I'm not sure of a name for the Raichu yet xD
I'm a PhD student researching natural hydrogen production from termites for clean energy, so feel free to ask me anything!
