of this event Ash slept in by accident and in a hurry, ran to
Professor Oak's lab to recieve his Pokemon. When Ash got there

gave him one called Pikachu. At first Pikachu did not like Ash until

bike from to save himself and Pikachu from the Spearow attack.
Ash soon caught other Pokemon such as Caterpie, Pidgeotto,
Bulbasaur, Charmander and the one he originally wanted Squirtle.
None of them topped the friendship he and Pikachu had though.

defeated at the Pewter City Gym.
Brock joined the group and they all set fourth into many adventures.
 
Pikachu
 
Pikachu is the master of Pikachus, and you may think that its
because he is one of the main characters but it's not.
Pikachu came from Professor Oak's labrotory meaning he wasn't
born in the wild. Professor Oak said that Pikachu has a little problem
but as Meowth claims, Pikachu's powers exceed its evolved stage,
So obeviosly Pikachu is special.

Misty first met Ash when he stole her bike as she was fishing
for water Pokemon. She soon caught up with Ash at the nearest
Pokemon Center in Viridian City. Misty came to see the power in
Ash's love for Pokemon and joined up beside him, wanting to
become the greatest Pokemon trainer ever! She also wanted him to
pay her back for the bike he had stolen and crashed. After Misty and
Ash met up with Brock, Their journy led them to Cerulean City, the
birthplace of Misty. The two boys soon learned that she was the
little sister of three gym trainers there. Misty battled Ash to show
her sisters what she had learned after running away from Cerulean City. During the battle
Misty showed
her skill of being a Pokemon trainer for the first time. From then on she and Ash
became better friends but stayed the

followed him and Misty on their Adventure. Brock left only
because his father who had finnally returned and agreed to take
care of his brothers and sisters. During battles with Team Rocket,
Brock showed his true abilty to fight and capture Pokemon.
