Could someone please explain to me what the Pichu news announcement means? What am I supposed to do?

Click on the "Pika Pika" to see the instructions.

Thank you, Umbreonpanda! I already had 26 of the light balls. Should I do something with the Yellow Forest map, or just keep doing more interactions to meet the next threshold?

Probably the latter. I don't think the Yellow Forest map does anything for the event.

I just met the second light ball threshold and it said “We’ll meet at the Yellow Forest.” That really makes it seem like I need to do something with the Yellow Forest...

I can’t yet because I already have all three of my rumble bags being used. It’ll be some hours before those rumble missions are finished.

Is there a specific Pokémon that I should send to the Yellow Forest when I get the chance?

Edit: I just went ahead and had my Pikachu, my Raichu, and one of my Pichus take all three of my rumble bags to the Yellow Forest, because I have no idea what’s supposed to happen and maybe this way they’ll have the best chance.

Okay, my Pokémon finally came back from the Yellow Forest and brought a Pichu with them. I thought it would be the event Pichu, but it’s not, it’s just another normal Pichu that I now need to get rid of and I wasted a whole day rumbling for nothing. Someone needs to tell me how to get the event Pichu, now.

. . . Have you checked the event-page before demanding more information?

I’ve checked it many times. All it says is Pichu non-language over and over.

Why did someone tell me to waste a whole day in the Yellow Forest when that did absolutely nothing? And why will no one tell me anything about what is actually happening here, about when I’ll actually get anything out of this or what I would even get?

Aside from the Pika-language, there's also a 'translation' at the bottom saying 'make many interactions' (or something similar) and the Light Ball counter was reset to 0 with a new goal. All things you can simply read for yourself.

Users are helping you however they can and might not have figured everything out themselves. Demanding answers and blaming others when things go wrong also makes them unwilling to help, as they don't want to be blamed for something that might not be their fault. Trying to help means trying to figure out how it works together and trying things that might not be right to see what it does.

The Yellow Forest is not 'a waste of time'. It's the only place you can get Retro Pikachu and Spiky-eared Pichu. Ukulele Pichu requires more Light Balls.

You normally have to interact with pokemon that other people have, use a clicklist if you are willing to click your fingers off.

Also wise words Catlady, very wise

I am in an extreme amount of pain from rheumatoid arthritis with my immune system attacking me, especially in my dominant hand. It feels like I’ve already ruined my hand interacting.

I’m having to use talk texting for this because I can’t type anymore because my hand is in so much pain and locked up where my fingers can barely move.

If you're in pain, you should take breaks from interacting as pixels on a pokemon website are not worth sacrificing your health and well-being for. The event will last until July 31st so you still have over a week to collect the light balls you need so it's best you spread out your interacting and take multiple breaks. (Personally, I tend to make 500 interactions per hour to get the hourly Dream Points at the Dream World Shop. It's slow and chill progress, I reached 100 light balls today.)

Even if you aren't able to get enough light balls, the Yellow Forest quest/Pika event is a recurring event so you'd have a new opportunity to complete the event at some point in the future.
