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.

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 Pokémons), shows up at the Centre with their two strong Pokémons, 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 Pokémons, 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.... *read the next episode to see if Ash caught the Caterpie* 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 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 Pokémons.

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.

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.

However, they soon discover that while cars currently can't go on the bridge, only pedestrians and bicyclers can zip across it. Ash and his friends go to the Pokémon Center, and they find out that Nurse Joy needs to have some medicine delivered to Sunny Town, on the other side of the bridge. They borrow bikes from the Pokémon Center and try to cross the bridge, but they're soon assaulted by gang of hoodlums on bikes who challenge them to a Pokémon. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 35-Ditto's Mysterious Mansion While travelling, Ash and his friends get caught in a thunderstorm and they find refuge in an old mansion. There they meet Duplica of House Imite (pronounced "e-me-té"), a Pokémon trainer who owns a Ditto, a Pokémon who can transform into an exact copy of his opponent. Duplica's Ditto's eyes can't seem to transform right, though, and she's trying hard to train him so he could. However, Team Rocket shows up and steals Ditto in the hopes of presenting their boss with a copied Dratini* so they can stay in good standing, and because they force him to transform perfectly, Ditto finally manages to do a perfect transformation. Duplica, Ash and his friends manage to catch up with Team Rocket and get back Ditto (after doing a total parody of their speech), and they leave House Imite to continue on their journey. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Electric Soldier Porygon (a.k.a. The Seizure Episode) This Episode did not air in America. Ash and his friends are traveling when Pikachu complains that he wants to rest. They bring Pikachu to a Pokémon Center, where they find out that it's having problems because the monster-ball teleporter's out of order, causing them to get mixed-up along the way. The kids later go to the mansion of professor Akihabara, the one who created the teleporter system, to investigate the cause of the problems, and they get caught by the professor who forces them to enter an oversized monster-ball transporter! While they're trapped, he explains that he found out that some "strange people" broke into his mansion, stole the prototype for a CG-Pokémon, Porygon, went into the computer network and blocked the information highway that carries monster-balls to their destination. Before they could protest, Akihabara sends a non-prototype version of Porygon to help them, and transports them into the network. Ash and the others appear through a worm-hole in the computer system, but unfortunately the hole was several feet from the "ground". Porygon enlarges itself and flies down to save the kids and Pikachu, and as they're flying over the network, they see what's causing the monster-ball mix-up; the strange people are the Team Rocket (gee, what a surprise), who've set up roadblocks on the highway to block the flow of monster-balls. James and Jessie send Weezing and Arbok to fight Porygon, but Porygon counters by mimicking Weezing's smog attack; they then send the prototype Porygon to fight Ash's Porygon, and while the fight's going, the kids and Pikachu try to remove the barricades blocking the highway. Meanwhile, back at the Pokémon Center, Nurse Joy hired a computer consultant to put an anti-virus in the system, which unfortunately can't tell the difference between computer code and human beings. Team Rocket gets hit by the anti-virus program, taking out their Porygon, and Ash and the others manage to save them before the anti-virus attacks them again. (James: "I'm a human, not a computer virus! Help!!!") Everyone manages to escape in the nick of time thanks to Pikachu, but Akihabara's lab gets blown up in the process, destroying the human-sized transporter. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 36-Pikachu's Good-Bye While travelling through the forest, Ash and his friends discover a pack of Pikachus. Ash's Pikachu is overjoyed, but when he tries to make friends with the others, they run away. It seems that these Pikachus are afraid of humans and tame Pokémon (but since when has Pikachu ever been considered tame?); even when Pikachu manages to win the trust of a few of them, Ash's presence frightens them away. One of the baby Pikachus follows them, however, and falls into a river. Pikachu dives in to save him, and both are saved by the Pikachu pack. Now that Pikachu is a hero, the others take him in gladly, and Ash lets him stay with the others, despite his own worries and loneliness. In the night, the entire pack, including Pikachu, is captured by the Team Rocket in a electricity-proof net. They almost escape, too; Pikachu chews his way out of the net and distracts the Team Rocket long enough to let Ash and the others rescue the pack. Pikachu deals with the Team Rocket, and he becomes a true hero to the pack. Ash, on the other hand, comes to a difficult decision; since Pikachu is so happy with his fellow Pokémon, he decides to leave him behind. Brock and Misty are startled, and when Pikachu comes out to ask what Ash's doing, he tells Pikachu that he'd be happier with the others than with him. Ash runs away, leaving his best friend behind in shock... As he runs, he remembers all the good times, and not-so-good times, he had with his friend Pikachu. From the time they first met... to the battles they fought long after... and all the happy times in between. Brock and Misty catch up to him, but Ash has made up his mind, and there's no changing it. The sun rises slowly, and someone casts a shadow over Ash, he looks up. Pikachu is standing at the top of a hill, with the pack behind him. They cheer him on, as a hero, and Pikachu gives them his goodbyes. Then he runs towards Ash, looking happier than ever before. Ash smiles as he realizes that his friend doesn't want to leave him... "Pikapi! (Ash!)" "Pikachu!" The two are reunited, and they hug each other for a long time... Welcome back, Pikachu! We all missed you! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 37-The Battling Eevee Brothers Ash and his friends find a Eevee that's been abandoned by her owner from Stone Town. They soon find out that Mikey, her owner, intentionally hid her away so that he wouldn't be forced to evolve her at a party that his three brothers planned. Each of his brothers has a different evolution of Eevee - Jolteon, Vaporeon and Flareon - and they believe that Mikey should evolve his Eevee and they push him to do so. Team Rocket shows up and steals Mikey's Eevee and all the evolved Pokémon at the party, and before they try to experiment with Eevee and evolution stones, Ash, his friends and the brothers attack them but get defeated. Mikey then attacks with his Eevee and manages to defeat Team Rocket, and his brothers accept that he wants to keep his Eevee just the way she is. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 38-Wake Up Snorlax Hungry and tired, Ash and his friends arrive in a small town in the hopes of finding some food, but they soon find out that the town's river has run dry and no food can be found. They discover that it's because a Snorlax is blocking the river, and try as they might, they can't get it to budge from its spot. Team Rocket spots the Snorlax and want to capture it to try to present something to their boss, and they team up with the "brats" to try to get it out of the way, but no matter what they try, they don't manage. They find out that an old hippie who they met outside of town has a Poke-Flute that can wake up the Snorlax, so Ash and his friends find him and persuade him to wake the Snorlax, who they discover actually owns the sleeping Pokémon. The Snorlax wakes up, and e |
