The Pokemon Story
In the world of Pokémon,
kids are allowed to become Pokémon
trainers -- and the best of them
may some day become Pokémon Masters!
That's the dream for Ash Ketchum,
our young hero who begins on his
journey with a secret that gives
him an edge: his special love for these
creatures helps him beat all odds
and makes impossible things happen!!! To become a
Pokémon trainer, Ash must
catch as many wild Pokémon
as he can. But it's not easy, because each of
the Pokémon possess special
powers and abilities. To catch one, he must first
challenge it in a match with a
Pokémon of his own. If Ash plays it just right,
the wild Pokémon will become
tired and easier to catch and find itself captured in a PokéBall
-- and
part of Ash's
team.
Professor Oak, a leading authority
on all Pokémon, gets Ash gets to choose between 3 Pokemon,
Bulbasaur, Squtile, Charmander. Ash starts off late and when he gets
there all 3 pokemon are gone so
Pro. Oak gives him
the lovable Pikachu, an
electric Pokémon with truly
"shocking" abilities. Misty and
Brock, fellow Pokémon trainers, join him with
some tricks of their own. Ash
can use all the help he can get, because the
notorious Team Rocket has taken
notice of Pikachu's powers. They'll stop at
nothing to steal the precocious
Pikachu to please Team Rocket's boss and
help him fulfill his diabolical
plan for total domination!
It's an adventure that takes our
heroes around the world,
underground and across the sea
-- all the while discovering new and amazing
things about everyone's favorite
creatures.....Pokémon!
