About

Ash Ketchum wakes up late one morning after having broken his alarm clock in his sleep. He eventually makes it to Professor Oak's lab, but is told that the three starter List of Pokémon (Bulbasaur, Squirtle, and Charmander) have already been taken by Trainers who were on time. However, Oak reveals that he has one more Pokémon, an Electric-type named Pikachu. Despite its volatile and feisty personality, as well as its refusal to get inside a Poké Ball, Ash happily takes Pikachu for his journey.

Ash Ketchum misses his chance at a traditional starter, forcing him to forge an unconventional bond with a unique Pikachu. This reimagining captures the lightning-in-a-bottle magic of a boy and his monster embarking on a sprawling, heartfelt journey.
