In the first episode of the Pokémon [[anime]], ''[[EP001|Pokémon, I Choose You!]]'', Ash woke up late the day he was supposed to go to [[Professor Oak|Professor Oak's]] laboratory to obtain his first Pokémon. When he arrived at the lab, the three available starter Pokémon, {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, and {{p|Squirtle}} had already been taken by other trainers who arrived earlier. Seeing that Ash was disappointed, Professor Oak gave him Pikachu, which did not take a liking to its new trainer. It refused to go into a [[Poké Ball]], and when Ash failed to catch a wild Pokémon, it laughed at him. However, by the end of the episode, Ash gained Pikachu's trust by protecting it from an attack by a flock of {{p|Spearow}} and rushing it to the [[Pokémon Center]]. Pikachu and Ash soon became inseparable. In ''[[EP039|Pikachu's Goodbye]]'', Ash gave Pikachu his consent to remain in a forest filled with Pikachu, but Pikachu returned to Ash's side. | In the first episode of the Pokémon [[anime]], ''[[EP001|Pokémon, I Choose You!]]'', Ash woke up late the day he was supposed to go to [[Professor Oak|Professor Oak's]] laboratory to obtain his first Pokémon.
