What does a conversation between two Pikachus sound like?

Somebody in Japan who happens to own both an Amazon Alexa and a Google Home decided to find out by using both devices and the Pikachu Talk app, which is available for both smart home assistants. The app responds to sounds with Pikachu noises, so a full-on Pikachu dialogue ensues between the devices.

Here's what it sounds like:

The conversation is a little hard to understand, but undoubtedly the two digital Pikachus are having a riveting talk.

Luckily the Pikachu Talk app doesn't respond to things with actual words in Pikachu's voice, since it's so unsettling to hear Pikachu speak in fully formed sentences like it did in the latest Pokémon movie.
