Episodes- (1-20) (21-40)(41-52)

Ash Ketchum is a 10-year-old who dreams of becoming the world's greatest Pokemon trainer. However, on the morning he
was to get his first Pokemon, he accidentally oversleeps and is late in getting to the lab of Professor Oak, who is Pallet Town's
Pokemon expert and who was to give him his Pokemon. He discovers that the only Pokemon left for him is Pikachu, an electric
mouse, but Ash likes him so much that he chooses him. Pikachu, however, is very uncooperative, and refuses to help him
capture Pokemon.
While trying to capture Pokemon in a field, Ash angers a Spearow, a very violent Pokemon, and its flock chases Ash and
Pikachu, injuring the poor electric mouse. Pikachu calls down an electric beam to disperse the Spearows when he realizes that
Ash is ready to give his life to save him, and through this ordeal Pikachu and Ash become the best of friends.

Ash arrives at the Viridian Pokemon Center just in the nick of time to save Pikachu who was badly injured by the Spearow
flock. While in the waiting room, the girl from whom he ah, "borrowed" her bike shows up, angry that it's now a heap of junk,
but when Ash lets her know that his Pikachu is in the operating room, she's just as concerned as he is. Pikachu recovers
successfully thanks to the Pokemon Center's nurse, but as Ash and Misty are about to spend some time with Pikachu, a gang of Pokemon thieves shows up, wanting to steal the Center's rare Pokemon! The thieves are Jessie, James and Meowth of Team Rocket, and their Pokemon Ekans and Koffing cause a lot of damage to the Pokemon Center. Ash and the girl try to attack with the Pokemon Center's Pokemon, but they get defeated easily. They finally drive Team Rocket away thanks to Pikachu, but the Pokemon Center gets destroyed in the process, although all of the Viridian Pokemon stay safe.

Ash, Misty and Pikachu arrive in Viridian Forest, where Ash finds Caterpie, a Pokemon of the Insect element. Caterpie tries to
be friendly with Misty, but she's scared of bugs, so she chases them away. Later on, Caterpie and Pikachu are "talking" together
while Misty and Ash sleep, and Caterpie thinks that if he manages to evolve into Butterfree that Misty would like him.

The next day, Ash finds Pidgeotto, a higher evolution of Pidgey; he sends Caterpie to weaken it but Caterpie is easily defeated.
Pikachu weakens Pidgeotto by shocking it, and Ash captures it. Then out of the blue, Team Rocket appears, wanting to capture
Pikachu; Pikachu gets blinded by Koffing's sludge attack, but Caterpie, weakened from the battle with Pidgeotto, manages to
defeat Team Rocket and their Pokemon, and it evolves into Metapod.

Still in Viridian Forest, Ash is trying to catch a Weedle, another insect-element Pokemon, when a strange samurai challenges
him to a trainer's duel. During the fight, the Weedle manages to escape and has a swarm of Beedrils, Pokemon that have
evolved from Weedles, attack Ash and Misty. They capture Ash's Metapod and they bring him to a part of the forest where the
trees are full of Beedrils, Weedles and Kakunas, and Ash can't get close enough to save his Pokemon.

Meanwhile, Team Rocket is still trying to get Ash's Pikachu, but Ash manages to defeat them (again) after saving his Metapod.
Metapod evolves into Butterfree, his highest evolution, and puts the attacking Beedrils and Team Rocket to sleep with his Sleep
Powder. The samurai who challenged him congratulates him on his victory, even though he feels that Ash isn't quite experienced
enough. Now they're on their way to Pewter City, where Ash's first real challenge will appear...

Ash and Misty arrive in Pewter City, where Ash challenges the local Gym Leader, Brock, to try to win a badge from him.
Pikachu easily gets beaten by Brock's Onix, a huge rock serpent, and he leaves the Gym with disappointment. Flint, a man that
Ash met outside Pewter City, shows him that Brock is a very good Pokemon Trainer, but he can't participate in any
championships because he has to stay and take care of his ten brothers and sisters. With Flint's help, he manages to
super-charge Pikachu, and they challenge Brock again.

During the battle, Pikachu's electrical attacks accidentally set fire to the rafters and turns on the sprinkler system. Water makes
Rock-Element Pokemon weak, but Ash refuses to defeat Brock, since he says that it's not fair that the sprinklers turned on.
With Misty following behind them, Ash and Pikachu leave Pewter City, but Brock catches up to him and offers him the Boulder
Badge as a token of good Pokemon training. Flint is revealed as being Brock's father, and he promises to take care of his
children while Brock goes out in the world with Misty, Pikachu and Ash.

Ash and his friends reach Mt. Moon, where it's said that there's a giant meteor called the Moon Stone that crashed there many
years ago. They learn from a scientist named Seymour that people are disturbing the Pokemon living there, include the
Clefairies, cute pink Pokemons, and they later find out that it's Team Rocket who's causing all the ruckus just to get their hands
on the Moon Stone so they can use its fabled powers to make their Pokemon stronger. The Clefairies use their Metronome
attack to defeat Team Rocket, but the Moon Stone shatters in the process, and the pieces that rain down on the Clefairies
evolve them into Clefables, a stronger and rarer version of themselves.

Ash and his friends arrive in Cerulean City where Ash wants to challenge the Gym Leader of the town. Misty doesn't want to go near the city though, and with good reason; Ash finds out that the three sisters who are the Gym Leaders there don't want to
fight anymore because they already got defeated by three other trainers from Pallet, and as one fo the sisters tries to give Ash
the Cascade Badge Misty appears and reveals herself as the fourth sister of the Cerulean Gym Leaders and invokes her right to
challenge Ash. Pikachu doesn't want to fight Misty's Pokemon, but as Ash is about to defeat Misty's Starmie, Team Rocket
appears and tries to steal all the water Pokemon by sucking up all the water in the arena pool. Pikachu defeats them by using his Thunder Shock skill (water conducts electricity), and to thank Ash for saving the Gym and their Pokemon, Misty's sisters award him the Cascade Badge.

Ash gets overconfident in his Pokemon training abilities and he challenges A.J., a harsh trainer who's won 98 consecutive
matches. Ash easily gets defeated, but he then accuses A.J. of being too harsh a trainer, and basically acts like a sore loser.
Team Rocket appears to try to capture Pikachu, but they end up capturing A.J.'s Sandshrew instead, and as a result A.J.
challenges them and defeats them, marking that victory as his 100th win. A.J. and Ash make up their differences, and they go
their seperate ways.

On their way to Vermillion City, Ash and his friends encounter some students from Pokemon Technical, a school that teaches
Pokemon training and fighting teachniques and that allows, upon graduation, permission to enter the Pokemon League without
travelling to collect all the badges. Ash and the others take offence at the arrogance of the students, and are challenged by
Giselle, the best beginning-rank student. She defeats Misty's Starmie with her Graveller, a Pokemon weak against water. Ash
then challenges her, and she matches Cubone, a Fight-type Pokemon, against Pikachu. After a long and difficult battle, Pikachu
defeats Cubone, humbling Giselle. Team Rocket shows up again, but the Pokemon Tech students chase them away, and Ash
and his friends leave for Vermillion City, with a promise to challenge Giselle again someday when they are more experienced.

Ash and his companions become lost in the forest when trying to take a shortcut to Vermillion City. Along the way, they find an
Oddish drinking at a pool. Misty tries to capture it, but a Bulbasaur appears to defend it. Bulbasaur defeats both Starmie and
Butterfree, and escapes with Oddish. When Ash and the others try to follow them, they encounter numerous traps which slow
them down, including a collapsing bridge, a pit, and a net. Eventually, they reach a cabin in the woods. The cabin belongs to
Melanie, who provides it as a resting place for abandoned Pokemon. Bulbasaur volunteered to protect the Pokemon who stay
here, and is angry that Ash and his friends are at the cabin. When Team Rocket shows up, however, Ash helps Bulbasaur to
save the other Pokemon and chase off Team Rocket once again. Grateful for his help, Melanie offers to give Bulbasaur to
Ash... but Bulbasaur will only do it if Ash defeats him in a Pokemon battle. Ash sends Pikachu, and after a short battle, Pikachu
stuns Bulbasaur and Ash catches him. With Bulbasaur as his fourth Pokemon, Ash and his friends leave Melanie and the other
Pokemon behind, to continue on to Vermillion City.

Still unable to find the way to Vermillion City, Ash, Misty, Brock, and Pikachu encounter a Charmander sitting on a rock in the
forest. Charmander looks tired and hurt, but refuses to accompany Ash to the nearby Pokemon Center because he is waiting
for his trainer to come back. Reluctantly, they leave him there and continue to the Pokemon Center. There they discover that
Charmander's trainer, Damian, abandoned Charmander and has no intention of coming back. Ash and his friends return to
rescue Charmander just as he is becoming weak. They bring him back to the Pokemon Center to recover, but Charmander
escapes into the morning, intending to return to the rock to wait for Damian. Meanwhile, Team Rocket builds another trap
intended to catch Pikachu; instead, Ash and the others fall in, leaving Pikachu alone. Jessie and James are wearing suits to
protect them from Pikachu's electrical attacks, and capture him. However, Charmander appears and defeats Team Rocket,
saving Pikachu. Damian tries to get Charmander back, but he chooses to go with Ash instead, and Ash accepts him.

Ash and the others are the victims of another pit-trap... but this one was set by a gang of Squirtles which has been terrorizing a
nearby town. Team Rocket also encounters the Squirtle Squad, but Meowth convinces them to help Team Rocket capture
Pikachu. Ash, Pikachu, and their friends are captured by the Squirtles and Meowth. Pikachu is hurt, though, and the Squirtles
let Ash go to town to get a healing potion for him. With a little help from Jenny the cop, he manages to get back just in time to
see Team Rocket betray the Squirtles. Ash helps the Squirtles defeat Team Rocket and win back the trust of the town. The
strongest Squirtle, impressed by Ash's trust and assistance, decides to join him.

Still horribly lost, Ash and his friends find a lighthouse inhabited by Bill, a Pokemon researcher whose expertise rivals even
Professor Oak's. They find out that beyond the oceans lives an enourmous Pokemon that no one has ever seen. Meanwhile,
Team Rocket is trying to get to the lighthouse by climbing the cliff that it's on, and they have face-to-face with the legendary
Pokemon Bill was talking about. Wanting to capture it, they try to weaken it by shooting at them, but they end up chasing it
away. Bill hopes that one day the Pokemon will return, and Ash and his friends continue on to Vermillion City.

Ash and his friends finally make it to Vermillion City! While Pikachu recovers at the Pokemon Center, they notice that there are
many injured Pokemon there, and they find out that it's because the local Gym Leader, Lt. Surge, keep on defeating all his
challengers with his Pokemon, Raichu. Pikachu and Ash go to the Gym to challenge Lt. Surge, but Pikachu gets completely
defeated by Raichu, and he ends up in the Pokemon Center's recovery room. Nurse Joy suggests that Pikachu evolve into
Raichu to be stronger, but Pikachu refuses.Meanwhile, Team Rocket is spying on Ash and his friends, and they're touched by Pikachu's determination. Ash and Pikachu challenge Lt. Surge again, and Pikachu uses his agility to counter Raichu's attacks and manages to defeat her. Lt. Surge and Raichu award Ash with the Thunder badge and congratulate them for their work.

This was originally the American preview episode shown on September 7th, 1998, so those who couldn't show Pokemon on the premiere date could still be in sync with the other stations.
 

While travelling, Ash and his friends are approached by two schoolgirls who offer them tickets for the St. Anne, where a huge
Pokemon convention will take place. They gladly accept the tickets, but little do they know that the ones who offered them are
Jessie and James of Team Rocket! Their plan was to invite many Pokemon trainers and steal their Pokemon while they're at
sea.On board, Ash has Butterfree fight a Pokemon trainer who has Raticate, a Fight-element Pokemon, and the trainer ends up
goading him into trading the two Pokemon. Ash hesitates because he's been with Butterfree since the start, but he trades
anyway.Meanwhile, after James gets suckered into spending both his and Jessie's paycheck on Magikarp, a bunch of Team Rocket members attack the ship's passengers, stealing their Pokemon, but the trainers unite their Pokemon and manage to defeat them.Ash manages to get his Butterfree back. However, a storm hits the ship, and it sinks while Ash, his friends, and Team Rocket are still inside!

Still trapped aboard the now sunken St. Anne, Ash and his friends declare an uneasy truce with Team Rocket in order to find a
way to get back to dry land. After managing to avoid some disasters in the engine room, they end up adrift on a make-shift raft,
nearly starving to death. James, who still has his useless Pokemon Magikarp, takes out his frustration by kicking it in the water;
however, Magikarp evolves into Gyarados before his eyes, and Gyarados uses his legendary attack "Dragon Rage" blowing
everyone up in a tremendous water spout.

Awakening on the beach of a deserted island, Ash and his friends find themselves to be alright... with the exception of Pikachu
and several of Ash's other Pokemon, who've disappeared. Team Rocket finds themselves in a similar situation, alive but missing
Meowth and their own Pokemon. Meanwhile, the missing Pokemon are wandering around the island, searching for their
trainers. Everyone encounters giant Pokemon, who seem to rule the island and are unwelcoming to strangers. Even Ash's
Pokemon have a hard time communicating with the giant Pokemon. After an encounter with a run-away mine cart, all of the
humans are reunited with their Pokemon. The monster-sized Pokemon are revealed to be nothing more than giant robots, part
of a theme park called "Pokemon Land". Ash, Misty, Brock and Pikachu reach the seaside city of Porta Vista, and head into
town to get some much needed rest...

After escaping the sinking of the St. Anne, the Island of Giant Pokemon, and the clutches of the Team Rocket, Ash and his
companions find their way to the resort town of Aopulco, and settle down to a well-deserved vacation. But James, Jessie, and
Meowth are still intent on making life miserable for the young trainers; Ash and the others have a run-in with them (pun
intended) and accidentally destroy a dock belonging to a old fellow by the name of Ryu. Ryu doesn't make enough money from
his business, a seaside restaurant, to repair the dock, but Ash enlists the aid of his Pokemon and his friends to help make a little
extra money.At the same time, the Team Rocket is enlisted by an old hag who happens to be the cousin of Nastina (from the English Episode Tentacool and Tentacruel). Meowth uses every trick in his arsenal to sabotage Ryu's operation, and Ryu loses hope that he'll be able to rebuild his dock. Suddenly, Professor Oak and Ash's mom pay a surprise visit; they bring news of a swim suit ompetition where they might be able to get enough money to repay Ryu. Mistey enters the show, but she is quickly eclipsed in the competition by James and Jessie (the latter of whom is wearing an inflatable body suit); they, in turn, are put to shame by none other than... Gary's cheerleading squad!The competition degrades into a battle as the Team Rocket, sore losers as always, launch an attack on the show. Gary
generously lets Ash fight them off, and as usual, the Team Rocket (and the old gang) get royally trounced. The winner of the
competition ends up being Ash's mom, and Ash and the others manage to pay back Ryu for the damages. Ash and his mother,
along with Professor Oak, say their goodbyes, and then Ash is off on his journey to become the world's best Pokemon master
once again...

Unable to catch a ferry to the mainland, Ash and his friends are stranded in Porta Vista. They witness the destruction of a ship in the harbour, and eventually get asked by Nastina, a local millionare and general "old hag", to rid them of the Tentacools in the
harbour. Misty is outraged, but Team Rocket shows up to take the offer. They screw up as usual, however, however, causing
one of the jellyfish to evolve into a gigantic Tentacruel, which proceeds to demolish Porta Vista. The sea creatures are enraged
because Nastina is destroying their homes. With the help of a Horsea she rescued earlier, Misty convinces the Tentacools and
Tentacruel to leave the city in peace. With everything back to normal, Ash and his friends catch a ferry to the mainland...

The ferry that they boarded stops at a town that is celebrating their Summer's End festival, where they discover the legend of a
maiden who turned to stone 2000 years ago while waiting for her love to return. Brock sees the ghost of the maiden and falls in
love with her. Meanwhile, Team Rocket had sort-of stowed away with the ferry, and James sees the same ghost that Brock
saw, and also falls in love with her. An old woman appears, telling them to forget their love for the ghost since it could only bring them doom, but the two can't resist the ghost's lure. Ash, his friends, and Team Rocket discover that the ghost and the old
woman aren't all who they seem, and that they're really Gastly, a ghost Pokemon, who's impersonating the maiden to cause
trouble. Ash's Pokemon and Team Rocket's Pokemon try to defeat Gastly, but he keeps beating them. However, once the sun
comes up, Gastly leaves, promising that the maiden will return next summer.

Ash and his friends arrive at the place where Butterfrees find mates. Ash sends out his Butterfree to find a mate, but all the
Butterfree's reject him. He finds a cute pink Butterfree who he really likes, but she absolutely rejects him. Ash and his friends try to encourage him to keep trying, and as he's out there trying to court the pink Butterfree, Team Rocket shows up and captures all the Butterfrees. Ash and his friends manage to defeat Team Rocket and Butterfree wins the love of the pink Butterfree. The two Butterfrees leave Ash and his friends, and Ash wishes them the best of luck, even if he's sad that the first Pokmeon he ever captured is leaving him.
