Pokémon are extraordinary beings that possess a wide range of powers and forms; countless people, called Pokémon trainers, capture and raise them, often to face rivals in battle. The young Satoshi has long aspired to be both a Pokémon trainer and a "Pokémon Master." When he turns ten, the opportunity finally arrives. Unfortunately, every starter Pokémon has already been claimed, leaving only Pikachu—a spirited Electric‑type—to be his companion. Yet this unlikely pairing will spark a lifelong bond and an epic quest!
Eager to become the finest, Satoshi and Pikachu set out across stunning regions together with friends Kasumi, a Water‑type trainer, and Takeshi, a Rock‑type trainer. Yet peril shadows every path. The infamous Team Rocket stalks them, intent on pilfering powerful Pokémon through shady plots. It will be up to Satoshi and his allies to thwart their schemes while he pursues the eight Gym Badges required to challenge the Pokémon League and ultimately secure the title of Pokémon Master.
