He immediately tosses a {{ball|Poké}} at the wild Pokémon, and the device pulls Caterpie inside. The ball hits the ground and begins to shake. Ash, {{an|Misty}} and {{AP|Pikachu}} watch as Caterpie tries to break out. | ||
After a few tense moments, the Poké Ball stops shaking, signifying that Ash caught {{AP|Caterpie}}. His excitement takes control as he celebrates catching his first Pokémon, holding the Poké Ball and running in circles with Misty, making Pikachu dizzy. When Ash holds the Poké Ball to Misty’s face, she reveals her fear of {{type|bug}}s, even if they are contained in a Poké Ball. However, Pikachu is happy to have Caterpie along, and Ash decides to bring Caterpie out, scaring Misty away. | After a few tense moments, the Poké Ball stops shaking, signifying that Ash caught {{AP|Caterpie}}.

Ash congratulates Caterpie on coming through, even from Misty. Ash asks Misty to simply pat Caterpie on the head, and despite initial discomfort, Misty goes ahead. Suddenly, Caterpie sprays mist from its mouth. Ash puts Caterpie down as the mist covers Caterpie, signaling evolution. Caterpie evolves into {{p|Metapod}} as Ash checks it on the Pokédex. Ash bonds with his Pokémon, which gets Misty’s approval. Despite a slight bond with {{AP|Metapod}}, the sight of a {{p|Beedrill}} scares Misty as she looks forward to quickly leaving the forest. Ash isn’t however, as he seeks to capture more Pokémon. | Ash congratulates Caterpie on coming through, even from Misty.
