Episode 1 - "Pokémon, I choose you!"
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 Pokémon. 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 Pokémon 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 Pokémon.
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.
Episode 2 - "Pokémon Emergency!"
Ash heads into Viridian city with his injured Pokémon, a public announcement was made that
there were Pokémon poachers in the area. Ash is stopped by a policewoman who thinks that
Ash might of stolen Pikachu. After saying that he didn't steal it, the policewoman asks Ash
for some I.D. Not knowing that the Pokédex was some form of I.D. Ash continues to plead
that he didn't steal Pikachu. Suddenly, the policewoman takes out Dexter from Ash and
confirms that he was a trainer. She then takes Ash and Pikachu directly to the Pokémon
Centre (it's like a Pokémon hospital). When they arrive at the Pokémon Centre, Ash gives
Pikachu to the nurse where she lays Pikachu on a stretcher and take him to the emergency
room. Ash is stuck waiting in the waiting room where he decides to call his mom and then
receives a call from Professor Oak. Out of nowhere, Misty shows up with her badly, broken
bike and starts insulting Ash. Then, Pikachu is brought out and the nurse tells Ash that
Pikachu would be alright. Without a warning, Team Rocket (the villains who steal Pokémon),
shows up at the Centre with their two strong Pokémon, Ekans and Koffing. Ash, Misty and the
nurse head to the Pokémon Transformation Centre where Team Rocket finds them and start
a battle between Koffing, Ekans, Rattata, Pidgey and Goldeen. To save the other Pokémon,
the nurse starts transporting all the Pokéballs to the Pewter City Pokémon Centre. In the
middle of it all, Ash turns to run away to get Pikachu. As Ash was running with Pikachu still on
the stretcher, Team Rocket's monsters follow. The stretcher hits a wire and Pikachu wakes
up and calls his other Pikachu friends to help take care of the monsters with a gigantic
electric surge which destroys the Pokémon Centre. The explosion forces Team Rocket to run
away as they vow to steal Pikachu, knowing that Pikachu was was not just an ordinary Pokémon.
Ash, Misty and Pikachu start heading to Pewter City. They walk into a forest and Misty
discovers a Caterpie (a bug Pokémon that looks like a huge caterpillar). Then, Ash threw a
Pokéball at it.......(to be continued)
Episode 3 - "Ash Catches a Pokémon"
Ash throws a Pokéball at the Caterpie and manages to catch it. This is Ash's first time to
catch a Pokémon. He lets the Caterpie out and Pikachu gives it a warm welcome then the
Caterpie goes over to Misty. She becomes disgusted with it and admits hating carrots, bell
peppers and bugs. The Caterpie seems to like Misty and starts crying when she rejected
him. She wants to be Pikachu's friend instead and suggested Ash to be Caterpie's friend.
Mad and jealous, Ash threatens that he'll abandon Misty in the forest so Pikachu jumps out of
Misty's arms and quickly follows him. Misty starts to follow Ash so Ash has no choice but to
take her along. When night came long, Pikachu and Caterpie were having a little conversation.
The next morning, Caterpie is found sleeping next to Misty. Ash finds a Pidgeotto, an
evolved form of Pidgey. It chases Caterpie until Ash captures him in a Pokéball. Then, Ash
sent for Pikachu to capture Pidgeotto. Not long after, Team Rocket shows up and demands
that Ash give up Pikachu. Ash refuses their demand so Team Rocket releases their Pokémon.
Pidgeotto fights but the battle was going nowhere. Ash calls upon Caterpie, who was injured
from Pidgeotto earlier. Caterpie uses his String attack on Ekans and Koffing. He then wraps
Meowth in the string and Team Rocket flees again. After the battle, Misty agrees to become
Caterpie's friend. As she was going to pet him, Caterpie mummifies himself in string and
becomes Metapod. The Pokédex said that Caterpie evolved into Metapod quicker than the
others. Misty wants to leave the forest but Ash insists on staying and catching more
Pokémon.
Episode 4 - "Challenge of the Samurai"
Well, Ash, Misty and Pikachu are wandering around forest in search of more Pokémon.
Misty REALLY wants to get out of there and on to Pewter City when she discovers another
bug Pokémon called a Weedle (a caterpillar with a poisonous stinger) She screams and Ash
tries calling upon Pikachu to catch it but he's napping so he sent Pidgeotto instead to try to
catch it. In the middle of the battle, Misty runs away and meet a Samurai Pokémon trainer,
Ososhru. He tells her not to scream or else she'll attract attention of some Beedrills (a
Weedle's the third-stage of evolution) Then, Ososhru asked Misty if she knows of any
Pokémon trainers from Pallet Town. Immediately, she thinks that he's talking about Ash. As
the battle between Pidgeotto and the Weedle was still going on, and Ash was about to catch
the Weedle, he is interrupted by the Samurai, who declares a battle. The Weedle manages
to run away and Ash agrees to the battle. Ash calls upon the weaken Pidgeotto to fight
against the Samurai's Pincer. In no time, Pidgeotto loses to Pincer so Ash calls upon
Metapod. Metapod's shell hardens and Pincer is unable to penetrate it. Ososhru calls his
Pincer back and brings out his Metapod. His Metapod also hardens. Meanwhile, Team Rocket
is lurking somewhere in the forest and is trying to avoid the Beedrills. Back at the battle,
Ososhru and Ash still urges their Metapods on when some Beedrills interrupt them. The
samurai takes his Metapod back but the Beedrills gets a hold of Ash's Metapod. Ash, the
samurai and the others run to the samurai's cabin as the Beedrills come after them. In the
cabin, the samurai tells his story of how he's lost to three trainers from Pallet Town and
vowed to defeat one.
The next morning, Ash finds Metapod near a bunch of Kakunas. Suddenly, Team Rocket
shows up and demands for Pikachu again. This awakes the Beedrills and they start chasing
everyone. Ash escapes but Team Rocket didn't. A Beedrill swoops down towards Ash but
Metapod saves him by jumping in front of him. They beat the Beedrills and Metapod
miraculously evolves to Butterfree. The samurai doesn't see Ash as a novice anymore and
shows them the way to Pewter City.
Episode 5 - "Showdown in Pewter City"
Team Rocket tries to set up a trap for Ash and the others but lost the site of the trap and
fall in it themselves. Meanwhile, Ash, Misty and Pikachu are relieved to get out of the forest.
They meet this rock-seller who said that they were standing on his merchandise. The seller
notices Ash's worn out Pokémon so he takes them to the Pewter City Pokémon Centre. Ash
enters the centre and gives another Nurse Joy (all the nurses are identical in every Pokémon
Centre) his Pokémon. The nurse shows Ash a poster about the Pokémon League's National
Championship Tournament, but Ash needs to get a badge from the Pewter City Gym. Ash and
Misty eat at a restaurant until Ash leaves Misty with the bill since he didn't want her to help
him defeat the gym leader. Ash runs to the Pokémon Centre to get his Pokémon back and
turns to go towards the gym. There, Ash challenges Brock, the leader of the Pewter City
gym. Brock tells Ash the tournament qualification matches and then the battle begins. Ash
sends Pikachu to go against Brock's Onix (a rock Pokémon) Pikachu loses the battle and Ash
leaves the gym. The rock-seller shows Ash that Brock is the guardian of 10 brothers and
sisters. This makes Ash a little sad, but he is still determined to beat Brock. The rock-seller
offers to help Ash out and make Pikachu stronger.
Ash goes back to the gym and tries to beat Brock again. Ash loses again with Pikachu in
Onix's grip. Brock calls his Onix to stop because he didn't want to see Pikachu hurt anymore.
The fire from Pikachu's blast starts the water sprinkling system to go on which weakens
Onix. Ash decides to take advantage of the situation and calls Pikachu to strike at Onix.
Suddenly, Brock's brothers and sisters holds back Ash. Ash remembers what Brock has to
go through so he called back Pikachu. Ash and Pikachu leave the gym when Brock catches up
with them. He gives Ash a badge for caring about other people and other Pokémon. Brock
tells Ash that he can't go with him because he still has to take care of his siblings. Suddenly,
the rock-seller appears and says that he is actually Brock's father. His father suggests
Brock to go with Ash and he will take care of his children. After, Brock is all ready to go and
joins Ash on his quest. As they're running to the next city, they trample over Team Rocket's
heads.
