[His attention initially stays on Red and his bag as he searches, but the Pikachu quickly catches his attention thanks to its vocalization and the strange tingling feeling in his left mechanical arm. He doesn't make the connection initially, simply rubbing his metal fingers together to try to get rid of the sensation as the creature gives him a pat, not really knowing what to make of the action. But it's... not something he minds at all, kind of the opposite. There's probably a word for it that he isn't accustomed to using.
The soldier returns his focus to what Red was trying to show him, realizing that he was telling the truth when he said the differences between pokémon were more than those between animals. There are quite a few species.
Given he hasn't been negatively affected yet, he isn't bothered by the new information about Pikachu's electricity, though he doesn't really understand the whole elements thing. However, it does explain his arm, which he raises slightly with a quiet whirr to examine, and he glances between it and the yellow rodent.]
I guess that makes sense. [As much sense as anything makes these days, anyway.]
