When it comes to White House invaders, you gotta catch 'em all!

U.S. Secret Service agents apprehended a "Pokémon" nut who scaled the fence at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. and walked onto the North Lawn Thursday evening, witnesses said.

The electrifying trespasser was wearing a bright yellow Pikachu hat and carrying a plush doll of the Nintendo franchise's adorable mascot, as seen in pictures posted to Twitter.

The hardcore Pikachu fan evolved to a hardcore concern in the eyes of security.

Agents drew their assault weapons and told the fence-jumper to get down on the ground. He obliged and was escorted from the scene.

“It was a rather dramatic scene,” said FOX News reporter Ed Henry. “They were moving tourists away, shouting. There were guns drawn … with several Secret Service officers trying to restrain this gentleman.”

The intruder's motivation was not immediately clear.

The Secret Service could not be reached for comment.

Dumb @ss... I heard about this on Good Day NY this morning... I don't recall the guy wearing any Pokémon items, but then again I was too busy getting ready for work so who knows.

Great idea! We can tear down ISIS's Pokemon on the way to the Gym Leader!

Plot twist when it's revealed that ISIS was really under the control of the CIA to instill fear in the Pokémon world with NSA gathering intelligence on the top Pokémon trainers to keep them in check. That's how Gym Leader Obama always has Pokémon with types that are strong against yours no matter what Pokémon you start with in the game or carry with you to the White House.
