EP002: Difference between revisions

After battling with the {{p|Spearow}}, {{AP|Pikachu}} was badly injured. {{Ash}} was told by {{an|Misty}} about a place where he could take Pikachu to be healed, a [[Pokémon Center]]. They go to the [[Viridian City]] Pokémon Center to be healed. When he enters the town, Ash is stopped by [[Officer Jenny]], who found him suspicious, due to the fact he was carrying Pikachu in his arms and not a [[Poké Ball]], but Ash confirms his identity with his [[Pokédex]]. Jenny rushes Ash to the Pokémon Center. Misty enters in the Pokémon Center with her destroyed bike, angry because it was Ash's Pikachu that destroyed it. Ash explains that Pikachu was injured badly, and Misty forgot about her bike and instead thought of Pikachu. As Pikachu is treated, Ash feels crestfallen and calls home. His [[Delia Ketchum|mother]] tries to encourage him, but he still feels downtrodden. He is then called by [[Professor Oak]] who is surprised that he reached Viridian so soon. Ash then tells him about [[Ho-Oh (anime)|the golden colored flying Pokémon he saw earlier]] (in the [[EP001|last episode]]). Oak feels that he is lying because many trainers have never seen that Pokémon even after they searched for it during their whole life. They then exchange good wishes and hung up.

While Pikachu is being treated, Team Rocket attack the Pokémon Center with the intent of stealing the Pokémon inside. The Center's [[Nurse Joy]] tries to transfer all the Pokémon to the safety of the [[Pewter City]] Pokémon Center because it is an emergency. Team Rocket use their [[Jessie's Arbok|Ekans]] and [[James's Weezing|Koffing]] to wreak havoc in the Center. However, just then Pikachu somehow manages to revive itself and along with the other Pikachu from the Center's back-up power generator, {{m|ThunderShock}} Team Rocket away.
