Synopsis[]
In the land of Hoenn, a girl named May travels to Professor Birch’s lab. She is attacked by a wild ghost Pokémon called Duskull. Scared, but unharmed, she travels on her bike to the lab in Littleroot Town.
Ash also travels to Littleroot town and is going to sign up for the Hoenn League. Team Rocket's failed attempt to catch Pikachu has left the little yellow Pokémon dangerously ill. Ash arrives in town to discover that Littleroot doesn’t have a Pokémon Center! Ash rushes to the Profesor’s lab and talks to one of the assistants. The assistant alerts Professor Birch. Professor Birch thinks that Pikachu can be cured—but first they'll have to catch it. Delirious with fever, Pikachu has run off into the forest.
Meanwhile, May arrives at the lab in order to receive her first Pokémon to find that the Professor isn’t there. The assistants tell her that he drove into the woods and she rides after them.
In the woods, the Professor tumbles down a cliff and lands on a Poochyena. He is suddenly surrounded by a group of the Pokémon and he looks like he is in trouble. Suddenly, May arrives and the prof. tells her to take one of the Pokémon out of his bag and use it to battle the Pochyena. She ends up throwing Mudkip. Birch orders Mudkip to do a Water Gun attack.
As May and Professor Birch find Ash. As the group is about to leave, Team Rocket arrive on the scene in a giant robot. They reintroduce themselves to Ash and let May and the prof. know who they are. Jessie still doesn’t care about this mission and James and Meowth do the dirty work as they launch an arm that grabs Pikachu. Struggling to get free, he lets loose a super-powered Thunderbolt. Since the robot was designed to absorb Pikachu's electricity, it has no effect. Nevertheless, Pikachu continues to unload high-powered Thunderbolts, using up all of his stored electricity. The robot, however, was NOT designed to absorb this amount electricity, and so it overloads and explodes, sending Team Rocket blasting off for the first time in the Hoenn Reigon.
Back at the lab, May picks the fire Pokémon, Torchic. Prof. Birch gives her a Pokédex and she quietly says how she really doesn’t like Pokémon. May’s damaged bike due to Pikachu’s Thunderbolt makes her angry but she decides to ask Ash if she can go with him on his journey. He says OK and they head over to Oldale town as Ash’s journey in Hoenn begins.

Sorry Professor Birch isn't here but I'll tell him
Well, Team Rocket strapped Pikachu to a magnet...
Joshua turn on the Machine
Professor, we need those starters for May!
Sorry May, you'll have to wait for the Professor
Terrific, you must be May! Great timing! Please, open that bag over there!
Grab any of the Poké Balls inside and hurry!
There's really no time for this May we'll catch up later.
"Now you two will have to register for the Hoenn League at the nearest Pokémon Center you can find okay?" "The closest town you'll be able to find one in is Oldale Town."
Ughhh walking all that way alone makes me nervous and my bike's destroyed thanks to your Pikachu, Mister. There must be a solution, a way to get to Oladale Town safely on foot. Heyyyyy why don't we go there together? I happen to know the way there. Really Ash I don't mind at all. It's no trouble! Shall we?
So with Pikachu fully recovered, Ash and May can begin their journey together. As they head for Oldale Town and the nearest Pokémon Center. Together they're sure to discover new Pokémon and new friends as well. One things for sure, even more adventures lie just ahead.
