Episode Guide

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 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 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. *Will Pikachu ever be saved...??*
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 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.
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. 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 Pokémons.
Episode 4 - "Challenge of the Samurai"
Well, Ash, Misty and Pikachu are wandering around forest in search of more Pokémons. 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, but says he is the novice to Ash 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 Pokémons. 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.
Episode 6 - "Clefairy and the Moonstone"
Misty, Ash, Brock and Pikachu head towards Cerulean City where they reach Mt. Moon. Legend has it
that a meteor known as the Moonstone smashed into the mountain during prehistoric times. On Mt. Moon,
they meet a scientist named Seymour, who was swarmed from a flock of some Zubats (a bat Pokémon).
Pikachu saves him with his famous electrical blast. After giving his thanks, Seymour tells them that a
moon rock is very special and helps increases a Pokémon's power and that some troublemakers looking
for the Moonstone had put up lights in the cave that are confusing the Pokémon. Inside the cave, a
Clefairy (pink powder puff) carrying a Moonstone fragment passes them. Ash wants to catch it but
Seymour says not to. After the Clefairy disappears within the caves, it screams and Ash, along with the
others, come rushing to its rescue. Then, they find Team Rocket and Meowth. They let loose Koffing
and Ekans to capture the Clefairy. Ash tells Misty to help Clefairy and Seymour escape as he and Brock
stall Team Rocket with Butterfree and a Zubat that Brock captured outside the cave. Misty, Clefairy
and Seymour escape as Zubat uses his super-sonic attack to confuse Ekans and Koffing into attacking
each other, then Butterfree whirlwinds Team Rocket outside the cave.
Outside, the Clefairy is attacked by Meowth again. Misty calls upon her Staryu (a starfish-looking
Pokémon), who lets loose its star-attack and then beat Meowth out as Staryu fills him up with water
Meowth blows up like a balloon and then blast away away as the water rushes out of his mouth. Later on,
they all sit down and eat some of Brock's special Pokémon food. Clefairy and Pikachu are having a
conversation and then lead the group to a cave that contains the Moonstone. Clefairy takes out his rock
fragment that he has been holding the whole time and puts it near the Moonstone. Suddenly, more
Clefairy appear and dance around it. Pikachu, tries to communicate with Ash and he finally gets it-- the
Clefairy pray to the Moonstone. Again, Team Rocket shows up and challenges Ash and
Brock to a another battle. They start battling but it's not long when Koffing's smoke fills the air.
Pidgeotto whirls away the smoke, they
discover that the Moonstone is stolen by Team Rocket. Onix chases them them underground. Onix
jumps out of the ground and they collide, which sends Team Rocket airborne. Meanwhile, Seymour
explains to the Clefairy why they must help return the Moonstone. The clefairies appear and use an
attack called Metronome. It blasts everyone into the air and blows up the Moonstone as well. As
fragments Moonstone fall from the sky, several Clefairies evolve into Clefables
(they're bigger and have bigger wings). The Clefairies and Clefables gather around a pile of Moonstone
fragments, Seymour tells the gang that he'll be staying with the Clefairies and do some more research.
Soon, the group head for Cerulean City. On the way, Ash rinds a message scribbled on the sign that
reads, "Gary was here! Ash is a loser!" The mad Ash runs down the road with Brock , Pikachu ,and Misty
following after him.

Episode 7 - "The Water Flowers of Cerulean City"
The gang are heading down the path to Cerulean City. Ash is getting excited to get another badge as
Misty starts getting uneasy that they are nearing Cerulean City. She said that there are lots of scary
ghost Pokémons there, and suggests that they go to Vermilion City instead. But, still, Ash and Brock go
down the path into Cerulean City. Meanwhile, in a Cerulean store, Team Rocket sneaks in and steals a
vacuum and a giant hose. Ash and Brock wander around and discover that they lose Misty. Soon, they
across a crime scene. A person says there are burglars, and a policewoman who looks a lot like the one
from Viridian City, says she is the twin sister-in-law of the policewomen in the previous episodes. The
policewoman starts getting suspicious, but Ash proves her wrong with his Pokédex. The policewoman tells
Ash and Brock about the theft, but they don't know who did it yet. They sit down on a bench, and Ash
wants some info on the Cerulean City Gym, but Brock won't tell him anything. After, Brock says he
needs to do some "stuff" and leaves Ash by himself. Finally, Ash finds the gym, and enters it, ready to
fight. He's really surprised and finds a group of sisters performing on a long pool, doing dives and
synchronized swimming. Ash leaves the main room, and he sees that the gym is like built like an aquarium.
He soon runs into the three, beautiful sisters, and he discovers they are called the "Sensational
Sisters," and he challenges them, but they are all worn out by fighting other people. They didn't feel
like fighting so one of the sisters offers to just give Ash a cascade badge (badge that you get after
winning a battle) and skip the hassle of battling. Ash says he rather earn it, then suddenly, Misty
enters, and challenges Ash to a battle. Misty admits that she is a sensational sister also, but her older
sister says she is a runt. Her sisters start insulting her and say Ash is her boyfriend. Misty denies it
and they start to battle. Ash calls on Pikachu, but Pikachu doesn't want to fight a Misty, his friend. So
Ash calls upon Butterfree instead.. Misty calls upon her Staryu. Butterfree uses a tackle, but Staryu
uses a counter attack and blocks it. The battle goes on for a while, as Butterfree definitely has an
advantage. Staryu washes it off, but Butterfree uses its sleeping powder, and Misty's Staryu uses some
more tackles. Now Ash calls Pidgeotto, so Misty calls Starmie. They go at it for a while, and Pidgeotto
blasts Misty into the wall.
Without a warning, there's a rumbling noise, and Team Rocket appears with this machine with a large
hose to suck up all the Pokémon from the pool. They were actually the ones who stole the stuff from the
store earlier. Team Rocket suck up Seel, but Pikachu uses a thunderbolt and electrocute Team Rocket,
but Pikachu is also being sucked up too. Ash climbs up on the giant hose and turns the switch. Pikachu
gets out safe and sound. Team Rocket blasts off again. After that, Ash gets the badge for his heroic
deed while Misty argues that she should of had it instead. Brock catches up with them while Misty and
Ash begin to fight again. They go on their path to get more badges. *What lies ahead on their path,
they'll soon find out*
Episode 8 - "The Path to the Pokémon League"
Proud Ash is on the path to Vermilion City, with two Gym badges, he is determined to beat the trainer
at the next gym. Along the way, Ash uses his Pokémon, Pidgeotto, to defeat a trainer, and he compliments
him about his skills. After Ash gets his tenth victory, the trainer tells Ash to challenge A.J.. Ash finds
the gym, A.J.'s Gym, which is unofficial by the Pokémon League. Ash meets up with A.J., and Ash finds
out that he has 98 wins so far. Confidently, Ash challenges A.J.. to a battle. A.J. takes out his whip,
and Ash shows off his badges. A.J. calls the badges are from loser gyms which makes Misty and Brock
angry and tells Ash to pulverize this guy. A.J. calls upon Sandshrew (an armadillo-looking Pokémon), as
Ash takes out Pidgeotto. Pidgeotto is suppose to have an advantage over Sandshrew (a ground-type
Pokémon), but the Sandshrew has had some good training and knocks Pidgeotto from the air. Ash calls
Pidgeotto after being defeated, and takes out Butterfree. After using another attack from Sandshrew,
Butterfree is knocked down too. Ash loses the match when Pikachu didn't want to fight. Team Rocket is
close by, and they think the Sandshrew is tempting. James hits Meowth down, and Meowth falls down
somewhere. But Ash, in the ring, cries and asks for a rematch, but A.J. doesn't want one. Then, Ash
suspects foul play. The group finds out how A.J. trains his Pokémons, but it looks like he's torturing the
Pokémons. Sandshrew dives in the water, but Ash pushes A.J. into the water. A.J. tells his story to the
gang that Sandshrew was the first Pokémon he ever caught, and they promised to be the best there ever
was. Team Rocket lurks nearby, in the tent. The bell rings in the gym tent, and A.J. gives the Pokémons
a short break. Team Rocket disguise themselves and mistake Sandshrew Pikachu and kidnap him! A.J. is
devastated when he discovers Sandshrew is missing. A.J. calls for him, but there was not response. Ash
suggested that Sandshrew might of ran away due to A.J.'s harsh training methods. Elsewhere,
Sandshrew jumps out of the bag and Meowth is knocked out. Sandshrew manages to escape underground
with Meowth's mouth latched on its tail. Soon Sandshrew and Meowth are found in the tent. Ash, Misty,
and Brock discover that A.J. really does care about his Pokémon after an emotional moment, as Pikachu
points out Meowth is on the floor. Team Rocket suddenly appear out of nowhere. . Jesse and James come
to Meowth's and insult A.J.'s Pokémon and the gym. A.J. challenges them for his 100th win and, as usual,
Jesse chooses Ekans while James calls out Koffing. Bringing the match to a close, Sandshrew leaps into
the air, smashing into the ground hard enough to split it in half. The monsters freak out and run away, as
A.J gets his 100th win. A.J decides leaves on his own, in search for some badges. In the end, Ash
decides A.J. isn't as bad as he thought, and promises he'll beat him next time as the world' greatest
Pokémon trainer.
