Ten-year-old Ash Ketchum oversleeps on the day he should pick his first Pokemon, leaving only a stubborn Pikachu for him at Professor Oak's lab. Ash and Pikachu travel through countryside and forest, where Ash fails to catch a Pidgey, learns from the Pokedex that battles are needed, and runs into a flock of attacking Spearow. To save the wounded Pikachu, Ash takes a girl's bike, rides through a thunderstorm, and asks Pikachu to trust him; Pikachu fights back with a massive electric attack that drives the Spearow off. The episode closes with the new partners walking on together, followed by the Pokemon Rap and a 'TO BE CONTINUED' card.
