Note: The Pokémon League is also known as the Seikei League, the Kanto League, and the Indigo League.
Ash Ketchum, a 10-year-old boy from Pallet Town, is
starting his Pokémon journey. However, on the day he's due to
start, he accidentally sleeps in and has to start off with the
worst Pokémon of the bunch, Pikachu.
It's not long, however, before Ash and Pikachu become good
friends and start working together. Team Rocket, a trio of
villians, start attacking injured Pokémon, and Misty, a girl not
much older than Ash, helps him defeat them. She then joins him on
his quest, mainly because she wants Ash to replace a bike of hers
which he destroyed in an attempt to save Pikachu. Soon after, Ash
catches his first Pokémon, Caterpie, which quickly evolves into
Metapod, followed by its most advanced form, Butterfree.
In only a couple of weeks, Ash, using Pikachu, manages to defeat
Brock, the first gym leader. He receives his badge, and Brock
also decides to join Ash's group.
Ash later battles Misty, of all people, for his second badge.
But, since Misty was a part of Ash's group, Pikachu refused to
battle her Pokémon and the battle was declared a tie. Ash saved
the gym from Team Rocket, however, and because of that received
the badge.
Ash, Pikachu, and his other Pokémon continued battling for
badges, and Ash eventually won all 8 of the badges he needed to
compete in the ultimate Pokémon contest, the Pokémon League.
