Pokémon, Gotta Catch 'Em All!

POKÉMON

Theme Song
I want to be the very best,
Like no one ever was.
To catch them is my real test,
To train them is my cause.

I will travel across the land,
Searching far and wide
Each Pokémon, to understand,
The power that's inside.

Pokémon
Gotta catch 'em all
It's you and me
I know it's my destiny
Pokémon
You're my best friend
In a world we must defend
Pokémon
Gotta catch 'em all
A heart so true
Our courage will pull us through
You'll teach me and I'll teach you
Pokémon
Gotta catch 'em all,
Gotta catch 'em all,
Pokémon!

Starting from the beginning...

1st Season
Ash Ketchum, a ten-year-old boy from Pallet Town, is finally old enough to go out on his Pokémon journey. The local Pokémon expert, Professor Oak, gives Ash everything a new Pokémon trainer needs: Pokéballs, a Pokédex, and his first Pokémon, which is Pikachu. Ash has two goals: to become a Pokémon master and to beat his rival, Gary Oak, who happens to be Professor Oak's grandson. In order to qualify for the Pokémon League Competition at the Indigo Plateau, Ash must collect at least eight badges from Pokémon gyms. Along the way, Ash is joined by two new friends: Brock and Misty. Ash is also trailed by the infamous Team Rocket (Jesse, James, and Meowth), who are interested only in capturing his Pikachu. Ash did succeed with collecting eight badges. He doesn't win the competition, but he does get in the top sixteen...

2nd Season
When Professor Oak asks Ash to retrieve the G.S. Ball from Professor Ivy on Valencia Island, it leads Ash and Misty into a new adventure. Brock decides to stay with Professor Ivy, while Ash and Misty attempt to return to Pallet with the G.S. Ball. Thanks to Team Rocket, they end up stranded on the Orange Islands. This is where Ash hears about the Orange League, a different version of the Indigo Pokémon League. He decides to travel around the Orange Islands from gym to gym so he'll qualify for the Orange League Competition. Tracey Sketchit, a Pokémon watcher from the Orange Islands, joins Ash and Misty on their journey in hopes of meeting his idol: Professor Oak. Ash catches two new Pokémon: Lapras and Snorlax. Ash does win the Orange League Competition and is enlisted in their Hall of Fame...

3rd Season
Ash, along with Misty and Tracey, returns to Pallet Town with the Orange League trophy and the G.S. Ball. To Ash and Misty's surprise, when they reach Ash's home, Brock was there to greet them! According to Mrs. Ketchum, Brock has been staying there for a while and taking over Mr. Mime's chores! Whenever Professor Ivy's name was mentioned, Brock would freak out. Ash goes to Professor Oak's lab to give him the G.S. Ball, along with Misty, Brock, and an ecstatic Tracey, who can't wait to meet Professor Oak and show him his sketches. Team Rocket makes an appearance and almost succeeds in stealing all of the Pokémon at Professor Oak's lab, until a mysterious cloaked figure saves the day with his Nidoqueen.

When the figure removed his cloak, Ash was shocked to see his old rival: Gary Oak. This confrontation leads to a one-on-one Pokémon battle between Ash's Pikachu and Gary's Eevee. Gary ends up winning the Pokémon battle and leaves. Professor Oak reveals that Gary has been training very hard so he can enter the Johto League. Not wanting to lose to Gary, Ash decides to enter the Johto League as well. Professor Oak asks him to take the G.S. Ball to a Pokéball designer he woud run into while traveling through Johto. Tracey decides to stay as Professor Oak's assistant, and Brock rejoins the gang on their latest adventure...

ASH KETCHUM

Ash, a ten-year-old boy from Pallet Town, is hoping to accomplish his life-long dream of becoming a Pokémon master. His first Pokémon was Pikachu, which he got from Professor Oak. The last thing Ash wants to do is fall behind his rival, Gary.

MISTY

Misty is originally from Cerulean City. Ash finds out when he goes to the Cerulean Gym that Misty is the youngest of the four Cerulean sisters that run the Pokémon gym. Ash ends up battling Misty in order to earn a Cascade Badge. Misty originally joined Ash on his journey because he accidentally demolished her bike and she wants him to pay her back for it. She's interested in water Pokémon and her favorite Pokémon is Golduck.

Brock is the leader of the Pewter City Gym. Although Ash quit the battle because of the way things turned out, Brock gives him the Boulder Badge anyway. He joins Ash and Misty in hopes of becoming a Pokémon breeder. Brock is interested in rock Pokémon and his favorite Pokémon is Golem. Brock does have a little problem: he falls in love with every pretty girl he runs into. He particularly has a fondness for Nurse Joy and Officer Jenny. Lucky for him, there's a Joy and Jenny in every city!

BROCK

Tracey is a Pokémon watcher from the Orange Islands. His job as a Pokémon watcher is to observe Pokémon in their natural habitat and make observations and drawings. Tracey joins Ash and Misty as they travel from island to island so Ash can challenge the Orange Crew and compete in the Orange League. He hopes that he could someday meet his idol, Professor Oak.

TRACEY SKETCHIT

PROFESSOR OAK

Professor Oak is a well-known Pokémon researcher from Pallet Town. He helps new trainers from Pallet get started on their Pokémon journey by giving them six Pokéballs, a Pokédex, and their first Pokémon. There are normally three choices for the new trainer: Bulbasaur (a grass-type), Charmander (a fire-type), and Squirtle (a water-type). In Ash's case, he got a Pikachu (an electric-type Pokemon) from Professor Oak.

GARY OAK

Gary is Ash's rival, and the grandson of Professor Oak. He is always a few steps ahead of Ash, which Ash finds extremely annoying. Gary tends to be a bit too confident in his skills as a Pokémon trainer. That flaw could have led to his loss in his fourth round at the Indigo Pokémon League. Gary isn't seen at all during the Orange League season. He reappears when Ash, Misty, Brock, and Tracey pay a visit to his grandfather's lab. It turns out that ever since the Indigo Pokémon League, Gary has been training really hard so he can head out to the Johto League.

TEAM ROCKET

Jesse and James are from a major criminal organization known as Team Rocket. Team Rocket is known for stealing rare and valuable Pokémon. Jesse and James are the "flunkies" of Team Rocket. The twosome hasn't officially succeeded with stealing any Pokémon for their mysterious boss, Giovanni. Along with their "mascot," a talking, wise-mouthed Meowth, Jesse and James have repeatedly tried to steal Ash's Pikachu without success. They are relentless and very determined to steal Pikachu.

Prepare for trouble!
Make it double.
To protect the world with devistation.
To unite all people within our nation.
To denounce the evils of truth and love.
To extend our reach to the stars above.
Jesse! James.
Team Rocket, blast off at the speed of light.
Surrender now, or prepare to fight.
Meowth, that's right!

NURSE JOY

Nurse Joy run the Pokémon center. She takes care of all the injured and sick Pokémon brought in to her. There's a Nurse Joy in every city Ash and his friends have visited so far. All the Nurse Joys have the same first name, they're all nurses at Pokémon centers, and are related to each other, one way or another. Nurse Joy's Pokémon partner is Chansey.

OFFICER JENNY

Officer Jenny is a police officer, whose main goal is to stop Pokémon poaching and thefts. There's an Officer Jenny in every city Ash and his friends have visited so far. They all have the same first name, they're all police officers, and are related to each other, one way or another. Officer Jenny's Pokémon partner is Growlithe.
