==Plot==
After arriving in [[Unova]], having being struck by blue lightning from a thundercloud and losing to [[Trip's Snivy]], {{AP|Pikachu}} is now in [[Professor Juniper]]'s lab, and is being excessively charged by electricity. {{p|Oshawott}} watches from outside the room, while the two Professors, {{an|Professor Oak}} and Professor Juniper attempt to restore power to the lab's electronics. Meanwhile, a large blue lightning bolt continuously rains downwards, and the silhouette of the legendary Pokémon {{p|Zekrom}} is seen hiding within the clouds. Its wings glow bright blue and with a burst of energy, it flies up towards the sky.
Soon after arriving in [[Unova]], {{AP|Pikachu}} was struck by blue lightning from the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{OBP|Zekrom|recurring}}. Now in [[Professor Juniper]]'s lab, Pikachu is being treated for an electrical overcharge while Zekrom and its dark clouds have again appeared over [[Nuvema Town]]. {{an|Professor Oak}} and Professor Juniper attempt to restore power to the lab's electronics. {{Ash}}, in an attempt to calm him down, immediately grabs Pikachu but is shocked by the electricity. Immediately, the blue lightning and the black clouds disperse and the sky is calm once again. Ash falls back onto the floor, and {{Delia}} rushes to his side. Pikachu lies on the floor, his cheeks sparking and the electronic systems in the lab mysteriously regain power.


Pikachu falls to all fours, screaming in pain. {{Ash}}, in an attempt to calm him down, immediately grabs Pikachu and is shocked by the electricity. Immediately, the blue lightning and the black clouds disappears suddenly and the sky is calm once again. Ash falls back onto the floor, and [[Delia Ketchum|his mom]] rushes to his side. Pikachu lies on the floor on his stomach, cheeks emitting sparks. The electronic systems in the lab then mysteriously regain power.
Delia, followed by {{AP|Oshawott}}, is concerned for Ash, who reassures them and gets up immediately, worried about Pikachu. The {{pkmn|category|Mouse Pokémon}} gets up, smiles, and charges his tail with electricity, showing Ash he has recovered. To test out Pikachu's electricity further, Ash commands Pikachu to use {{m|Thunderbolt}} and {{m|Volt Tackle}} on him. After Ash is given a decent shock from Pikachu, he concludes that Pikachu is back to normal, before collapsing due to exhaustion.


Mrs. Ketchum, followed by Oshawott who walks up to Ash, both express their concern over him. Ash reassures them and gets up immediately, worried about Pikachu. The {{t|Electric}} Mouse Pokémon gets up, smiles and then charges his tail with electricity, showing Ash he has recovered. In order to test out Pikachu's electricity further, Ash commands Pikachu to use {{m|Thunderbolt}} and {{m|Volt Tackle}} on him. After Ash was given a decent shock from Pikachu, he comes to the conclusion that Pikachu is back to normal, before collapsing due to exhaustion.
Later that night, while having dinner together with Pikachu, his mother, and Professor Oak, Ash announces that he wants to begin a new adventure in Unova, to be able to meet new Pokémon and make new friends, and will be challenging the [[Unova League]]. Approving his decision, Professor Oak tells him that he will take good care of his other Pokémon while he is away, while Ash's mother advises Pikachu to look after Ash. Professor Oak, as a [[Pokémon Professor|professor]], requests Ash to occasionally report to him about new Pokémon discoveries. Right after their dinner, Professor Juniper gives Ash a [[Pokédex]] and five {{i|Poké Ball}}s and tells him that the first [[Gym]] is at [[Striaton City]]. She also reminds him that he may meet his rival, [[Trip]], while on his {{pkmn|journey}}.


Later that night, while having dinner together with Pikachu, his mother, and {{an|Professor Oak}}, Ash announces that he wants to begin a new adventure in Unova, to be able to meet new Pokémon and make new friends, and will be challenging the [[Unova League]]. Approving of his decision, Professor Oak tells him that he will take good care of his other Pokémon while he is away, while Ash's mother advises Pikachu to look after Ash. Professor Oak, as a [[Pokémon Researcher|researcher]], then requests Ash to occasionally report to him about new Pokémon and discoveries. Right after their dinner, Professor Juniper gives him a [[Pokédex]] and five [[Poké Ball]]s, and tells him that the first [[Gym]] is at [[Striaton City]]. She also reminds him that he may meet his rival, [[Trip]], while on his journey.
As the sun rises the next morning, Ash is now prepared to leave for his journey. Meanwhile, Delia, standing beside the two Professors, now rattles off a list of advice and to-dos for Ash on his journey. He tells her that he is not a young boy anymore, and when Professor Juniper informs him about the [[Pokémon Center]] after leaving the forest, he turns around and sets off, the three adults cheering him on. Oshawott watches from behind.


As the sun rises in the morning, Ash is now prepared to leave for his journey. Meanwhile, Mrs. Ketchum, standing beside the two Professors, now rattles off a list of advice and to-dos for Ash on his journey. He tells her that he is not a small boy anymore, and when Professor Juniper informs him about the [[Pokémon Center]] after leaving the forest, he turns around and sets off, the three adults cheering him on. Oshawott watches from behind.
Ash walks into the forest, wondering what kind of Pokémon he will catch first before he hears rustling from a bush and sees something purple, he checks his Pokédex. The electronic gadget displays a picture of an {{p|Axew}}, apparently green in color, which leaves Ash confused. Despite this, he throws a Poké Ball, and it hits a girl's head. The girl rises from the bush, enraged at being thought of as a Pokémon. Ash immediately apologizes for his actions. Accepting his apology, the girl raises the fruit she had picked to her hair and an Axew pops out, grabs the fruit, and jumps to the ground, eating it. As Pikachu walks towards Axew, the girl excitedly picks him up and starts playing with his cheeks, hugging him tightly. She admits Pikachu is unusual in Unova, before introducing herself as {{an|Iris}}. During the conversation, Iris continues squeezing Pikachu, who struggles to breathe and discharges a lot of electricity, shocking Iris and causing her to drop to the ground. Later on, Iris apologizes to Pikachu, and she questions Ash about the incident that happened yesterday. Hearing that Professor Juniper described the Pokémon as Zekrom, she gets even more curious, but Ash and Pikachu, spotting a {{p|Deerling}}, become distracted and chase after it.


Ash walks into the forest, wondering what kind of Pokémon he will catch first. He then hears rustling from a bush he jogs past, and seeing something purple, he checks his Pokédex. The electronic gadget displays a picture of an {{p|Axew}}, apparently green in color. Talking about Axew's properties and behavior, Ash wonders why what he sees is so different from what it is being displayed. Nevertheless, he throws a [[Poké Ball]], and it hits... a girl's head! The girl rises from the bush, enraged at being thought of as a Pokémon. Apparently, it was actually her purple hair that Ash had spotted while she was picking fruit. Ash immediately apologies for his actions. Accepting his apology, the girl raises the fruit she had picked to her hair and an Axew pops out, grabs the fruit and jumps to the ground, eating it.
Somewhere in a cave, the [[Team Rocket trio]] reports to {{an|Giovanni}} that they have successfully infiltrated the Unova region. Plotting to capture Pikachu and a Legendary Pokémon they had encountered, the trio requests to have the Pokémon that they had left in the Headquarters. However, [[Matori]] interrupts, and tells them that using Pokémon that are not native to Unova would raise suspicions, so they will have to catch Pokémon only found in Unova. {{MTR}} wonders if he will be alright, as he is not native to Unova. Giovanni takes his leave, and the three become very determined to succeed. Back at {{an|Team Rocket HQ}}, Giovanni once again reaffirms his secretary's doubts, though he is sure that their operations will result in [[Team Plasma|Unova's secret organization]] revealing themselves. Meanwhile, the trio is inspecting the 'Starter Kit' they have been sent which comes with Poké Balls when a colony of {{p|Woobat}} flies towards them.


As Pikachu walks forward towards Axew, the girl excitedly picks him up and starts playing with his cheeks, hugging him tightly and starts cuddling him. She asks Ash about Pikachu, and the two then formally introduce each other. The girl is actually named {{an|Iris}}. During the conversation, Pikachu struggles to breathe and discharges a lot of electricity, causing Iris to drop to the ground. Later on, Iris apologizes to Pikachu, and she questions Ash about the incident that happened yesterday. Upon hearing that Professor Juniper described the Pokémon as Zekrom, she starts further questioning him, but Ash and Pikachu, having spotted a {{p|Deerling}}, became distracted and chases after it.
Back in the forest, Ash spots a herd of Deerling near a pond and checks his Pokédex. He throws a Poké Ball, which is easily deflected. Iris teases Ash for not battling the Deerling first, to which Ash responds he was trying his luck even though he hasn't done so in a while. Ash is about to send Pikachu into battle when one of the Deerling alerts the herd, and they all run away. They soon realize the cause of the fleeing: an incoming scurry of rampant {{p|Patrat}}.


Somewhere in a cave, [[Jessie]], [[James]] and {{MTR}} are reporting to {{an|Giovanni}}, who has learnt that their infiltration to the Unova region was successful. The {{TRT}} trio, plotting to capture Pikachu and a legendary Pokémon they had encountered, requests to have their Pokémon that they had left in the Headquarters. However, [[Matori]] interrupts, and tells them that using Pokémon that are not native to Unova would raise suspicions, so they will have to catch Pokémon only found in Unova. {{MTR}} then wonders if he will be alright, as he is not native to Unova. Giovanni takes his leave, and the three become very determined to succeed. Back at {{an|Team Rocket HQ|the HQ}}, Giovanni once again reaffirms his secretary's doubts by telling her that trusts the trio, and that he is sure that their operations will result in Unova's secret organization revealing themselves. Meanwhile, the trio is inspecting the 'Starter Kit' they have been sent (which comes with Poké Balls), when a colony of {{p|Woobat}} flies towards them.
Night soon approaches and the sun begins to set. As Ash and Iris begin searching for food, Ash picks an apple from the tree and wonders if it could be eaten. Iris manages to obtain a mountain of apples from the same tree. As night falls, Iris and Axew are sitting in the tree, while Ash and Pikachu sit beneath it, all four eating apples. They soon talk about [[BW001|yesterday's incident]] with Zekrom. Iris exclaims excitedly about encountering Zekrom, while Ash looks forward to the possibility of meeting mysterious Pokémon like Zekrom everywhere. Ash looks up and realizes that Iris and Axew have fallen asleep. Ash and Pikachu begin admiring the brilliant, star-filled night sky, when a shooting star, a symbol of good luck, runs across their field of vision. The two soon become excited about their journey, and as they exchange energized chatter, Oshawott appears from behind a bush, oblivious to the two of them.


Back in the forest, Ash spots a herd of Deerling near a pond, and checks his Pokédex. He throws a Poké Ball at one of them, to which it easily deflected with its head. Iris then teases Ash for not battling the Deerling first, to which Ash responds he was trying his luck even though he hasn't done so in a while. Ash is about to send Pikachu into battle when suddenly, one of the Deerling alerts the herd, and they all run away. Apparently, the Deerling was alerted because a scurry of {{p|Patrat}} was on a rampage, rather than it being due to Pikachu's presence.  
The next day, Ash wakes to find Iris missing but continues with his journey. He sees a {{p|Pidove}} flying above the forest, checks his Pokédex, and decides to catch it before giving chase. Reaching a clearing where a flock of Pidove has gathered, Ash tells Pikachu to engage the closest one. Pikachu, using a [[Type#Type effectiveness|super-effective]] Thunderbolt against Pidove, causes it to faint. However, when Ash is about to throw a Poké Ball, the enraged flock of Pidove attacks them with {{m|Air Cutter}} and {{m|Quick Attack}}, buying enough time for the fainted Pidove to recover and flee. As the entire flock flies off, Ash notes that catching Pokémon is never easy, before realizing that a single Pidove has remained behind.


Night soon approaches and the sun begins to set. As Ash and Iris begins searching for food, Ash picks an apple from the tree and wonders if it could be eaten. However, Iris manages to obtain a mountain of apples from the same tree, significantly burying Ash and Pikachu underneath.
Seizing this opportunity, Ash commands Pikachu to use Quick Attack, and Pidove is sent flying across the ground. She manages to get onto her feet, recovers, and tries to regain an awareness of her surroundings. As she is doing so, Pikachu jumps into the air and lands an {{m|Iron Tail}} attack on Pidove, knocking her down. Ash quickly throws a Poké Ball. For a moment Ash thinks he's caught her, but Pidove breaks free. Pidove attacks Pikachu with {{m|Gust}}, Quick Attack, and an Air Cutter. Confident, she attempts to finish Pikachu off with another Quick Attack but Pikachu jumps into the air in time to dodge. The surprised Pidove flies straight into a tree. Pikachu prepares a Thunderbolt as Pidove gets up, trying and failing to avoid the attack. Ash throws the Poké Ball again and catches {{AP|Pidove}}. As Ash and Pikachu celebrate the success of their first catch in Unova, Iris shows up with an apple, saying that his celebration over catching a Pidove is typical of a small child's behavior. Ash exclaims that he now has a new partner to compete alongside in the Unova League. During the conversation, Axew splits the apple from Iris and shares it with Pikachu. Before the two Pokémon can finish eating, a pair of mechanical hands grab them.


As night falls, Iris and Axew are sitting in the tree, while Ash and Pikachu sit beneath it, all four eating apples. They soon talk about yesterday's incident whereby Pikachu was unable to generate electric attacks due to Zekrom's mysterious powers. Iris then exclaims excitedly about encountering Zekrom, while Ash starts talking about the possibility of meeting mysterious Pokémon like Zekrom everywhere. Ash looks up, and realizes that Iris and Axew had fallen asleep.  
Ash and Iris turn around to find the Team Rocket trio, standing beside the 'hands'-machine and reciting their new [[Team Rocket motto#Pokémon the Series: Black & White|motto]]. Iris questions who Team Rocket is, and after learning about their evil ambitions, she immediately demands Team Rocket to return her Axew. She also notices that {{MTR}} can talk, and the Scratch Cat Pokémon proclaims that he's far more intelligent than all {{p|Meowth|other Meowth}}. Team Rocket places Pikachu and Axew in a glass box, forcing Ash to send out Pidove. In an attempt to show how strong Pokémon from [[Kanto]] are, Jessie sends Meowth to battle, who attempts to use {{m|Fury Swipes}}. Pidove sends Meowth flying backward with {{m|Gust}}. [[Jessie]] sends out her newly caught {{TP|Jessie|Woobat}}. Pidove evades the Woobat's {{m|Air Slash}} and charges at him with Quick Attack. Woobat dodges to the side, turns around, and uses Gust, [[Fainting|knocking out]] Pidove, and Jessie [[recall]]s Woobat.


Ash and Pikachu begin admiring the brilliant, star-filled night sky, when a shooting star, a symbol of good luck, runs across their field of vision. The two soon become excited about their journey, and as they drown themselves in a babble of energized chatter, Oshawott appears from behind a bush, oblivious to the two of them...
[[James]] prepares a {{wp|Balloon (aircraft)|hot air balloon}} for their escape. Desperate, Ash and Iris both climb a nearby tree and Ash leaps to the rescue. However, he misses the glass capsule and falls to the ground. Things seem hopeless until Oshawott suddenly appears from nowhere and throws his scalchop at Team Rocket's balloon, causing it to crash which shatters the glass box. As the Pokémon are thrown clear, both Ash and Iris jump forward to catch their Pokémon, while Oshawott catches his scalchop, places it back on his belly, and jumps for joy. However, Team Rocket will not retreat without a fight. Ash tells Pikachu to use Thunderbolt, but Jessie immediately sends out Woobat and the Bat Pokémon uses Air Slash, which hits Pikachu and Axew first. Jessie orders another Air Slash, but just before Woobat can attack, Oshawott jumps in front of the two Pokémon and uses {{m|Water Gun}} on Woobat, sending him flying toward Team Rocket. Pikachu gets up and breaks into a {{m|Volt Tackle}}, but James throws a smoke bomb, allowing Team Rocket to make a clean getaway. Pikachu and Axew collapse onto the ground from exhaustion. Ash grabs Pikachu and thanks Oshawott, before he and Iris rush off to the [[Pokémon Center]]. Oshawott stares blankly as they disappear into the distance, puzzled as to what had happened.


The next day, Ash wakes to find Iris missing, but nevertheless continues with his journey. He sees a {{p|Pidove}} flying above the forest, checks his Pokédex, and decides to catch it before giving chase. Reaching a clearing where a flock of Pidove had gathered, Ash tells Pikachu to engage the closest one. Pikachu, using a super-effective Thunderbolt against Pidove, causes it to faint. However, when Ash is about to throw a Poké Ball, the enraged flock of Pidove attacks them with {{m|Air Cutter}} and {{m|Quick Attack}}, buying enough time for the fainted Pidove to recover and flee. As the entire flock flees, Ash notes that catching Pokémon is never easy, then finds that a single Pidove has remained behind.
Later that evening, Pikachu, Pidove, and Axew are released from treatment at the Pokémon Center. [[Nurse Joy]] exclaims that it's the first time she's treated a Pikachu, and Ash introduces himself. As a [[Kanto]] region Trainer and his first visit to a Unova Pokémon Center, she formally welcomes him on behalf of all the Pokémon Centers. Iris thanks Ash for helping her rescue Axew, but Ash says that Oshawott is the true hero. As Ash wonders why Oshawott had helped them, the Sea Otter Pokémon peeps into the Pokémon Center and observes Ash from a distance.
 
Grabbing this opportunity, Ash commands Pikachu to use Quick Attack, and Pidove is sent flying across the ground. She then manages to get onto her feet, recovers and tries to regain an awareness of her surroundings. As she was doing so, Pikachu jumps into the air and lands an {{m|Iron Tail}} attack on Pidove, knocking her down. Ash quickly throws a Poké Ball. For a moment Ash thinks he's caught her, but Pidove breaks free.
 
Pidove attacks Pikachu with {{m|Gust}}, Quick Attack and then an Air Cutter. Confident, she attempts to finish Pikachu off with another Quick Attack but Pikachu jumps into the air in time to dodge. The surprised Pidove flies straight into a tree. Pikachu then prepares a Thunderbolt as Pidove gets up, scrambling to avoid the attack but fails. Ash throws the Poké Ball again and catches {{AP|Pidove}}.

However, before the two Pokémon could finish eating, a pair of mechanical hands grabs them. Ash and Iris turn around to find the Team Rocket trio, standing beside the 'hands'-machine and reciting their new [[Team Rocket mottos#Unova|motto]].
 
Iris questions who Team Rocket are, and she soon realizes that they are a group of people who steal Pokémon for their evil ambitions and aim to conquer the world. Iris immediately demands Team Rocket to return her Axew, but she also notices that Meowth is able to talk. As she is amazed, Meowth then self-proclaims that he's far more intelligent than all {{p|Meowth|other Meowth}}. Team Rocket then places Pikachu and Axew in a glass box, forcing Ash to send out Pidove. In an attempt to show how strong Pokémon from [[Kanto]] are, Jessie sends Meowth to battle, who attempted to use {{m|Fury Swipes}}. Pidove sends Meowth flying backwards with {{m|Gust}}. Jessie then sends out a Pokémon she had caught: {{TP|Jessie|Woobat}} (She only learns of the name only when Iris announces it).  Woobat starts attacking Pidove with an {{m|Air Slash}}, but Pidove evades and charges at Woobat with a Quick Attack.  Woobat dodges to the side, turns around and uses Gust, [[Fainting|knocking out]] Pidove, and Jessie recalls Woobat.
 
James then prepares a purple {{wp|Balloon (aircraft)|balloon}} for their escape. Desperate, Ash and Iris both climb a nearby tree and Ash leaps from the crown, ready to grab the glass box that was hanging underneath the balloon. However, he misses and falls back all the way to the ground. Things seem hopeless when Oshawott suddenly appears from nowhere and throws his scalchop at Team Rocket's balloon, causing it to crash which  shatters the glass box. As the Pokémon are thrown clear, both Ash and Iris jump forward and catch their Pokémon, while Oshawott catches his scalchop, places it back at his belly and jumps for joy.
 
However, Team Rocket will not retreat without a fight. Ash tells Pikachu to use Thunderbolt, but Jessie immediately sends out Woobat and the Bat Pokémon uses Air Slash, which hits both Pikachu and Axew before Pikachu's attack could hit. Jessie orders another Air Slash.  Just before Woobat can attack, Oshawott jumps in front of the two Pokémon and uses {{m|Water Gun}} on Woobat, sending it flying towards Team Rocket. Pikachu gets up and charges into {{m|Volt Tackle}}, but James throws a smoke bomb, causing Pikachu to run into the smoke.  When the smoke clears, Team Rocket is no where to be found. Pikachu and Axew, tired and exhausted, collapse onto the ground. Ash grabs Pikachu and thanks Oshawott, and the Trainers rush off to the [[Pokémon Center]]. Oshawott stares blankly as they disappear into the distance, puzzled as to what had happened.
 
Later that evening, Pikachu, Pidove and Axew are released from treatment at the Pokémon Center. [[Nurse Joy]] exclaims that it's the first time she's treated a Pikachu, and Ash introduces himself. As a [[Kanto]] region Trainer and his first visit to a Unova Pokémon Center, she formally welcomes him on behalf of all the Pokémon Centers. Iris thanks Ash for helping her rescue Axew, but Ash says that Oshawott was the one that did it in the end. As Ash wonders why Oshawott had helped them, the Sea Otter Pokémon secretly peeps into the Pokémon Center and observes Ash...

Blurb

After being struck by lightning, Pikachu is having trouble using its Electric-type attacks...but a second strange thunderstorm heals the Pokémon just as quickly! Attributing the ordeal to the Legendary Pokémon Zekrom, Professors Oak and Juniper agree that further research is needed.

Meanwhile, Team Rocket has arrived in the Unova region, and prepares to launch an operation designed to steal both Zekrom and Pikachu! Ash is eager to start his new journey, and armed with a new Pokédex and new Poké Balls, our hero sets out to meet as many Unova Pokémon as he can. While trying to catch a Pidove, Ash runs into a girl named Iris and her Pokémon Axew. It doesn't take long for Team Rocket to launch a plot to steal Pikachu, Pidove, and Axew, too! Of course, Ash springs into action, battling his old enemies Jessie, James and Meowth. He gets some help from an unexpected source: Oshawott, who has been following Ash and Pikachu since they left Professor Juniper's lab. Before long, all the Pokémon are safely returned, while Team Rocket mysteriously vanishes.

The group visits the Pokémon Center, where Nurse Joy restores Pikachu, Axew, and Pidove to perfect health. Iris admits that although Ash acts "like a kid," she is impressed with the way he sprang into action when saving their three Pokémon. And Ash wonders out loud why Oshawott helped them out the way it did...

Plot

Soon after arriving in Unova, Pikachu was struck by blue lightning from the Legendary Pokémon Zekrom. Now in Professor Juniper's lab, Pikachu is being treated for an electrical overcharge while Zekrom and its dark clouds have again appeared over Nuvema Town. Professor Oak and Professor Juniper attempt to restore power to the lab's electronics. Ash, in an attempt to calm him down, immediately grabs Pikachu but is shocked by the electricity. Immediately, the blue lightning and the black clouds disperse and the sky is calm once again. Ash falls back onto the floor, and Delia rushes to his side. Pikachu lies on the floor, his cheeks sparking and the electronic systems in the lab mysteriously regain power.

Delia, followed by Oshawott, is concerned for Ash, who reassures them and gets up immediately, worried about Pikachu. The Mouse Pokémon gets up, smiles, and charges his tail with electricity, showing Ash he has recovered. To test out Pikachu's electricity further, Ash commands Pikachu to use Thunderbolt and Volt Tackle on him. After Ash is given a decent shock from Pikachu, he concludes that Pikachu is back to normal, before collapsing due to exhaustion.

Later that night, while having dinner together with Pikachu, his mother, and Professor Oak, Ash announces that he wants to begin a new adventure in Unova, to be able to meet new Pokémon and make new friends, and will be challenging the Unova League. Approving his decision, Professor Oak tells him that he will take good care of his other Pokémon while he is away, while Ash's mother advises Pikachu to look after Ash. Professor Oak, as a professor, requests Ash to occasionally report to him about new Pokémon discoveries. Right after their dinner, Professor Juniper gives Ash a Pokédex and five Poké Balls and tells him that the first Gym is at Striaton City. She also reminds him that he may meet his rival, Trip, while on his journey.

As the sun rises the next morning, Ash is now prepared to leave for his journey. Meanwhile, Delia, standing beside the two Professors, now rattles off a list of advice and to-dos for Ash on his journey. He tells her that he is not a young boy anymore, and when Professor Juniper informs him about the Pokémon Center after leaving the forest, he turns around and sets off, the three adults cheering him on. Oshawott watches from behind.

Ash walks into the forest, wondering what kind of Pokémon he will catch first before he hears rustling from a bush and sees something purple, he checks his Pokédex. The electronic gadget displays a picture of an Axew, apparently green in color, which leaves Ash confused. Despite this, he throws a Poké Ball, and it hits a girl's head. The girl rises from the bush, enraged at being thought of as a Pokémon. Ash immediately apologizes for his actions. Accepting his apology, the girl raises the fruit she had picked to her hair and an Axew pops out, grabs the fruit, and jumps to the ground, eating it. As Pikachu walks towards Axew, the girl excitedly picks him up and starts playing with his cheeks, hugging him tightly. She admits Pikachu is unusual in Unova, before introducing herself as Iris. During the conversation, Iris continues squeezing Pikachu, who struggles to breathe and discharges a lot of electricity, shocking Iris and causing her to drop to the ground. Later on, Iris apologizes to Pikachu, and she questions Ash about the incident that happened yesterday. Hearing that Professor Juniper described the Pokémon as Zekrom, she gets even more curious, but Ash and Pikachu, spotting a Deerling, become distracted and chase after it.

Somewhere in a cave, the Team Rocket trio reports to Giovanni that they have successfully infiltrated the Unova region. Plotting to capture Pikachu and a Legendary Pokémon they had encountered, the trio requests to have the Pokémon that they had left in the Headquarters. However, Matori interrupts, and tells them that using Pokémon that are not native to Unova would raise suspicions, so they will have to catch Pokémon only found in Unova. Meowth wonders if he will be alright, as he is not native to Unova. Giovanni takes his leave, and the three become very determined to succeed. Back at Team Rocket HQ, Giovanni once again reaffirms his secretary's doubts, though he is sure that their operations will result in Unova's secret organization revealing themselves. Meanwhile, the trio is inspecting the 'Starter Kit' they have been sent which comes with Poké Balls when a colony of Woobat flies towards them.

Back in the forest, Ash spots a herd of Deerling near a pond and checks his Pokédex. He throws a Poké Ball, which is easily deflected. Iris teases Ash for not battling the Deerling first, to which Ash responds he was trying his luck even though he hasn't done so in a while. Ash is about to send Pikachu into battle when one of the Deerling alerts the herd, and they all run away. They soon realize the cause of the fleeing: an incoming scurry of rampant Patrat.

Night soon approaches and the sun begins to set. As Ash and Iris begin searching for food, Ash picks an apple from the tree and wonders if it could be eaten. Iris manages to obtain a mountain of apples from the same tree. As night falls, Iris and Axew are sitting in the tree, while Ash and Pikachu sit beneath it, all four eating apples. They soon talk about yesterday's incident with Zekrom. Iris exclaims excitedly about encountering Zekrom, while Ash looks forward to the possibility of meeting mysterious Pokémon like Zekrom everywhere. Ash looks up and realizes that Iris and Axew have fallen asleep. Ash and Pikachu begin admiring the brilliant, star-filled night sky, when a shooting star, a symbol of good luck, runs across their field of vision. The two soon become excited about their journey, and as they exchange energized chatter, Oshawott appears from behind a bush, oblivious to the two of them.

The next day, Ash wakes to find Iris missing but continues with his journey. He sees a Pidove flying above the forest, checks his Pokédex, and decides to catch it before giving chase. Reaching a clearing where a flock of Pidove has gathered, Ash tells Pikachu to engage the closest one. Pikachu, using a super-effective Thunderbolt against Pidove, causes it to faint. However, when Ash is about to throw a Poké Ball, the enraged flock of Pidove attacks them with Air Cutter and Quick Attack, buying enough time for the fainted Pidove to recover and flee. As the entire flock flies off, Ash notes that catching Pokémon is never easy, before realizing that a single Pidove has remained behind.

Seizing this opportunity, Ash commands Pikachu to use Quick Attack, and Pidove is sent flying across the ground. She manages to get onto her feet, recovers, and tries to regain an awareness of her surroundings. As she is doing so, Pikachu jumps into the air and lands an Iron Tail attack on Pidove, knocking her down. Ash quickly throws a Poké Ball. For a moment Ash thinks he's caught her, but Pidove breaks free. Pidove attacks Pikachu with Gust, Quick Attack, and an Air Cutter. Confident, she attempts to finish Pikachu off with another Quick Attack but Pikachu jumps into the air in time to dodge. The surprised Pidove flies straight into a tree. Pikachu prepares a Thunderbolt as Pidove gets up, trying and failing to avoid the attack. Ash throws the Poké Ball again and catches Pidove. As Ash and Pikachu celebrate the success of their first catch in Unova, Iris shows up with an apple, saying that his celebration over catching a Pidove is typical of a small child's behavior. Ash exclaims that he now has a new partner to compete alongside in the Unova League. During the conversation, Axew splits the apple from Iris and shares it with Pikachu. Before the two Pokémon can finish eating, a pair of mechanical hands grab them.

Ash and Iris turn around to find the Team Rocket trio, standing beside the 'hands'-machine and reciting their new motto. Iris questions who Team Rocket is, and after learning about their evil ambitions, she immediately demands Team Rocket to return her Axew. She also notices that Meowth can talk, and the Scratch Cat Pokémon proclaims that he's far more intelligent than all other Meowth. Team Rocket places Pikachu and Axew in a glass box, forcing Ash to send out Pidove. In an attempt to show how strong Pokémon from Kanto are, Jessie sends Meowth to battle, who attempts to use Fury Swipes. Pidove sends Meowth flying backward with Gust. Jessie sends out her newly caught Woobat. Pidove evades the Woobat's Air Slash and charges at him with Quick Attack. Woobat dodges to the side, turns around, and uses Gust, knocking out Pidove, and Jessie recalls Woobat.

James prepares a hot air balloon for their escape. Desperate, Ash and Iris both climb a nearby tree and Ash leaps to the rescue. However, he misses the glass capsule and falls to the ground. Things seem hopeless until Oshawott suddenly appears from nowhere and throws his scalchop at Team Rocket's balloon, causing it to crash which shatters the glass box. As the Pokémon are thrown clear, both Ash and Iris jump forward to catch their Pokémon, while Oshawott catches his scalchop, places it back on his belly, and jumps for joy. However, Team Rocket will not retreat without a fight. Ash tells Pikachu to use Thunderbolt, but Jessie immediately sends out Woobat and the Bat Pokémon uses Air Slash, which hits Pikachu and Axew first. Jessie orders another Air Slash, but just before Woobat can attack, Oshawott jumps in front of the two Pokémon and uses Water Gun on Woobat, sending him flying toward Team Rocket. Pikachu gets up and breaks into a Volt Tackle, but James throws a smoke bomb, allowing Team Rocket to make a clean getaway. Pikachu and Axew collapse onto the ground from exhaustion. Ash grabs Pikachu and thanks Oshawott, before he and Iris rush off to the Pokémon Center. Oshawott stares blankly as they disappear into the distance, puzzled as to what had happened.

Later that evening, Pikachu, Pidove, and Axew are released from treatment at the Pokémon Center. Nurse Joy exclaims that it's the first time she's treated a Pikachu, and Ash introduces himself. As a Kanto region Trainer and his first visit to a Unova Pokémon Center, she formally welcomes him on behalf of all the Pokémon Centers. Iris thanks Ash for helping her rescue Axew, but Ash says that Oshawott is the true hero. As Ash wonders why Oshawott had helped them, the Sea Otter Pokémon peeps into the Pokémon Center and observes Ash from a distance.
