[It's not Shaun that the camera catches first, but his newest pokemon - a little Pichu peering curiously into the camera.]

Move, Calvin--

[He only sounds slightly exasperated, to his credit, as he picks it up under its arms and pulls it in close.]

Uh, I need some advice.

Calvin doesn't know how to control the electricity in his cheeks yet, and he keeps zapping me and my other Pokemon. Richie and Blaze can handle it, but Susie's a water type and I'm worried he's going to hurt her real bad. It seems mean to keep him in his ball, though, just because he's too little to control his electricity... What should I do?

[As someone who also had a Pichu, Lightning gets what this kid is going through. As someone who lived through the sparking, her Pikachu will be chattering at Calvin. Hello, little one!]

You'll have to train him. Pichu generally stop and get more control when they evolve. It might take a while, though.

Maybe he needs an outlet for his electricity. Something that'll absorb it.

Apparently zapping one another - Pikachu, I mean - is a part of their language, so...it can help to have other electric types around it's safe with, but I'd say the best thing to do is training in the mornings, maybe? Enough to wear him out a bit for really big shocks?
