[[Professor Juniper]] soon arrives, apologizing for being late. Professor Oak introduces her as a young, but very important [[Pokémon Professor]] in Unova. Professor Juniper drives the group back to her laboratory in a red SUV. On the way, Ash expresses his sheer excitement as he spots a herd of {{p|Deerling}}, a flock of {{p|Pidove}} and a scurry of {{p|Patrat}}. All of a sudden, Pikachu's cheeks start emitting sparks, and Professor Juniper suggests giving Pikachu a check-up at her lab. Ash agrees. At that moment, Professor Juniper becomes curious about Pokémon in the Kanto region and requests Professor Oak to tell her more later. Ash interrupts her conversation and asks if {{p|Pikachu}} are rare in Unova, and she replies that they have never been encountered in the wild. The SUV makes a gradual turn to the right near a lake, and Ash watches a flock of {{p|Swanna}} fly across the water.

Eventually, the group arrives in [[Nuvema Town]], and soon Professor Juniper's lab. Over there, Pikachu's condition is being monitored, and Juniper admits the numerical data doesn't show any discrepancies, but further tests will be required. A lab assistant enters the room, announcing the arrival of a new {{pkmn|Trainer}} who is due to receive their [[starter Pokémon]]. Professor Juniper greets the new Trainer, [[Trip]]. Ash interrupts the conversation, talking about how excited he was [[EP001|the night before]] he became a Pokémon Trainer. Professor Juniper introduces him to Trip. Upon learning that Ash comes from Pallet Town, he smirks and passes it off as some mediocre country town, to which Ash takes offense. As Professor Juniper tries to calm the two Trainers and prevent them from fighting, she sends out the three starter Pokémon, first starting with the {{type|Fire}} {{p|Tepig}}, followed by the {{type|Water}} {{AP|Oshawott}}, and the {{type|Grass}} {{p|Snivy}}. After a moment of deliberation, Trip takes out his camera, snaps a quick picture of the three, and announces that he will choose Snivy. The {{pkmn|category|Grass Snake Pokémon}} smirks, leaving Tepig slightly annoyed and Oshawott extremely shocked. As is standard for beginning Trainers, Trip is also given a [[Pokédex]] which he uses to check the data of his new partner. He is also given five {{i|Poké Ball}}s, along with Snivy's Poké Ball. After [[recall]]ing Snivy into his Poké Ball, he thanks Professor Juniper and takes his leave.

While Trip walks away from the lab, Ash catches up to him and questions him about [[Gym]] matches in Unova. Similar to Kanto, a Pokémon Trainer in Unova has to collect eight [[badge|Gym Badges]] before they can compete in the [[Unova League]]. At that moment, the now-recovered Pikachu runs out of the lab and rejoins Ash. Completely shocked by Pikachu's appearance, Trip checks his Pokédex and starts snapping pictures. Trip realizes that Pikachu is Ash's partner and decides to test the Mouse Pokémon's strength by challenging Ash to a [[Pokémon battle]].
