Actually Pikachu comes from pikapika (sparkle sound onomatopoeia in Japanese) and chuchu (mouse sound in Japanese) and has nothing to do with the animal Pika. Its Pokédex category is literally "Mouse Pokémon."

Chu means 'squeak' in Japanese I believe, and Rai is 'thunder' I think. So Raichu is 'Thundersqueak'
