Ash Ketchum begins his journey as a Pokemon trainer, with the hope he will one day become a Pokemon Master. Professor Oak provides him with a Pikachu as his first charge. Pikachu however, proves to be wild, and disobedient, refusing to enter a Pokeball and electrocuting Ash several times.

Making his way into the forest, Pikachu and Ash gradually learn to bond, but will an array of wild Pokemon be too much for either to handle?
