For those who are reading this...this is how pik (later known as Pikachu), a pokemon met Ash. Pik did not know who was Ash yet !So, now let the story begin!

Thundershock, thunder wave, Quick attack! Pik, a cute little yellow pokemon with red rosy cheecks was battling tentacool in a sea. Finally, Pik won! However, he was weak and wounded with his health only 5 left. He was drifted ashore.

Meanwhile... Ash and Dawn, staying by the seaside for a few days were arguing. "This pokemon is way cuter than that one!"Dawn shouted. " Scream all you want. I am going out for a walk WITHOUT you!" Ash replied angrilly. He stomped out of the house. He went along the beach looking at the calm water.

Suddenly, he saw a yellow "thing" floating on the water. He went to investigate. Ash walked towards the yellow "thing" carefully. He finally realised it was a POKEMON! He quickly picked up the poor creature. " I wonder why is this pokemon doing here. I guess I would take it home with me. He really is cute. I wonder what Dawn will say when she sees this!" Ash thought.

" What a cute Pokemon. I wonder what is its name!" Dawn said when she saw the pokemon Ash brought back. Soon Pik recovered. He was sneezing. As soon as he recovered, Ash asked him what was his name. " My "achhoo" name is Pik"achoo" Pik replied. " Oh.. so your name is Pikachoo right?"

"Well, not exactly, but you can call me that by that name if you want. Thanks for saving me. Can I battle at your side, can i be your pokemon, can you be my trainer?" Pikachu asked Ash "why, of course!" Ash replied joyfuly, now that he has his very own pokemon.

note: this story is not true ok? pikachu did not meet Ash this way...
