However, he only ever thought to stock three (a Bulbasaur, a Charmander, and a Squirtle) not counting Pikachu, who was seen as a "last resort." Professor Oak states that if Ash was early, there would be one for him. However, even if Ash ''was'' earlier (the third to arrive), the Trainer to arrive fourth would find that Oak is fresh out of Pokémon, except for Pikachu. | ||
