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 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...??*

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.... *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. 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.

*And

that's the end of the episode....*

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 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 and Misty following after him.
