i am beginging going over the pokemon anime again in preparation for pokemon horizons. a gengar is battling a nidorino on tv and wins the trainer switches to onix watching this is ash a 10 year old from pallet town who wants to become a pokemon trainer and is told to go to bed by his mum after seeing a video about the starter pokemon bulbasaur, charmander and squirlte which ash dreams about getting them. the next morning he oversleeps and runs into his old rival gary oak who already has his starter which we won’t find out for over 200 episodes which he got. when ash sees professor oak he finds the other starters are already taken and nis left (he would have picked squirlte if he had the chance). and instead gets pikachu an electric mosue pokemon that doesn’t like ash and shocks him (and professor oak when he gets the pokeballs and pokedex). ash’s mum and some locals see him off after a weird scene which leads to everyone get shocked literally. after intially dragging pikachu and than finding out it doesn’t like being in pokeballs ash unties it and pikachu ends up climbing a tree ash than encounters the flying type pidgey which he tries to catch but pikachu won’t battle it and after several failed attempts and being robbed by a rattata (a normal type). ash than throws a rock at what he thinks is a pidgey but is a more dangerous spearow which attacks ash and pikachu injuring both when it gets reenfoursements and this leads to ash and pikachu trying to flee and fall into the water when a girl saves them with her rod and tells them about a hospital for pokemon ash than steals the girls bike to try and get away for viridian city which after crashing the bike in a storm things look grim but pikachu helped by the storm than uses thundershock stopping the spearow and saving him and ash’s life. they than spot a pokemon flying towards a rainbow ending the episode.
next time the pokemon center is attacked.
