April 1, 1997

Ash Ketchum's alarm clock rang, he yelled and finally woke up.

"It's 9:35 A.M! I have to get to Professor Oak's lab!" he said. As he changed his clothes. He wore jeans and a black Pokémon T-shirt with his red Jordan's. He grabbed his hat and backpack and ran downstairs and his mom said "Ash Ketchum! You said you can wake yourself up!" She said, "SORRY! I'll see you later, mom!

Ash ran out the door and down Pallet Town. He ran all the way to Professor Oak's lab. Ash bursted through the doors panting, and said "Sorry I'm late Professor! I overslept!"

"Don't worry about it Ash." Now, come choose a Pokémon!

Ash runs to the Professor and says "I have thought about this for a while, and I am gonna choose... Bulbasaur! "Ooh, sorry, since you're so late, someone already chose Bulbasaur…" "Oh. Okay then! I choose... Charmander!" "Oyy. Again, since you're so late, someone already chose Charmander." "Oh.. Okay. Fine. I will choose… Squirtle!"

"Oh.. I just noticed. There are no more Pokémon besides…" he trailed off. Then, an electric mouse ran on top of the stairs. Ash looks as he saw a yellow Pokémon he's never seen before. "Uh, Professor, what's that?"

Ash asked. Professor Oak looked up and smiled. "That's a Pikachu." he said, Ash walked over to him and knelt down. "Hey, Pikachu," he said. "PIKA!" Pikachu shocks him and he screams. "AHHHHHH!"

"Pika Pika!" he said, mad at Ash, but they just met!

Ash's mom shows up and says:

"Hey Ash you forgot your-" Ash cut her off. "Mom, please no."

"O-Okay."

Ash's mom puts the clothes in a bag and gives it to him.

"Professor, I love him! Can I have him please?" "Okay!" Says the Professor.

Ash throws a PokeBall at Pikachu but Pikachu dodges it.

"PokeBall, go!" "Ooh, forgot to tell you. Pikachu does NOT like PokeBalls. He refuses to go into one."

"Okay.." Ash takes a rope out of his backpack and ties it onto Pikachu. Then Ash starts pulling Pikachu outside.

"Pika!" Pikachu says and zaps Ash but accidentally zaps a Sparrow. The Sparrow gets mad and flies into a tree.

"Oww!" Says Ash.

"Piii-kaaa-chuu!" Pikachu zaps Ash and another Sparrow and that Sparrow flies into the tree. Ash and Pikachu see a flock of 20 Sparrows coming at them."

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! RUN PIKACHU!" Ash and Pikachu run very fast but the Sparrows catch up! A few Sparrows peck at Pikachu and Ash and finally all of the Sparrow start pecking them both. Ash picks up Pikachu and says

"Pikachu.. Go in the PokeBall.. You will be safe." They both fall on the floor and Pikachu does something AMAZING. Pikachu jumps up and zaps all the Sparrow and made an explosion.

"PIKAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-CHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!" Ash is laying on the floor and sees this crazy performance performed by Pikachu. The flock of Sparrow fly away. Ash says "Pikachu, that was amazing!" "Pika-Pika!" Pikachu says. Ash and Pikachu lay on the floor, super tired. After 5 minutes, they both get up and walk to the nearest town and go into the PokeCenter. Nurse Joy says "Good evening and welcome to the PokeCenter! Oh my goodness, what happened?" Nurse Joy says and picks up Pikachu giving him to Clefairy to heal him. "We got attacked by a bunch of Sparrow.." Ash chuckles. Clefairy comes back with Pikachu, fully healed.
