This is the very first episode of Pokémon. Ash Ketchum is watching a Pokémon battle on TV at bedtime when Ash's mother tells him to go to sleep. When he refused, his mother decided to prepare Ash for training by watching a Pokémon video. Ash then vowed to become the greatest Pokémon trainer ever. He gets a dream of Pokémons. The next morning, he oversleeps and arrives late so he rushes to Professor Oak. Ash comes across Professor Oak's grandson, Gary, who claims that he picked the best Pokémon of the litter. When Ash arrives to Professor Oak, in search of a Pokémon, all the starter Pokémons are taken so he settles for Pikachu, a disobedient, electrical rodent doesn't like his new trainer and dislikes going into the Pokéball. Professor Oak gives Ash a Pokéball and a Pokédex, a small computer which gives important information about Pokémons. After, Ash begins his journey to the next town when he comes across a Pidgey. He tries to get Pikachu to fight the Pidgey but Pikachu just climbs up a tree instead and watches Ash trying to catch the Pidgey. A while later, Ash finds a Spearow, a even better Pokémon than a Pidgey. Ash throws a rock at it and started to make it mad. The Spearow then swooped down towards Ash and but misses then it heads towards Pikachu instead. Pikachu fights back with his electric bolt and takes him down. Then the Spearow started calling some his other species and they all chase them. Ash and Pikachu jump into a river and comes across Misty, who was fishing. Ash steals her bike to get away from the Spearows. As the flock of Spearows were closing in on them, Pikachu lets out a huge bolt of electricity at them. Pikachu had lost all his energy to take down the flock so Ash then put him in his arms and started running to the Pokémon Centre in Viridian City. *Will Pikachu ever be saved...??*
