EP003: Difference between revisions

{{Ash}} effortlessly captures the {{AP|Caterpie}} he tossed a Poké Ball at in [[EP002|the last episode]]. [[Misty]] shows her complete dismay at it as she fears Bug-type Pokémon.

Even before the celebrations for Ash catching his first Pokémon can start, he spots yet another Pokémon, a {{p|Pidgeotto}}. Ash sends out his Caterpie to weaken the {{t|Flying}} Pokémon, but having a type advantage over Caterpie, Pidgeotto easily defeats it with a {{m|Peck}} attack. Misty then tells Ash that bugs are weak to fliers and so, Ash uses his {{AP|Pikachu}}. Pikachu {{m|Thunderbolt}}s Pidgeotto, knocking it out, and Ash easily makes his second capture. [[Team Rocket]] then arrive on scene and attack the {{Ashfr|twerps}}. Ash sends out Pidgeotto and Pikachu to battle, but {{TP|Jessie|Ekans}} and {{TP|James|Koffing}} manage to defeat them. Ash is then compelled to use his Caterpie. [[Jessie]] and [[James]] make fun of the caterpillar Pokémon, but it actually manages to defeat Ekans and Koffing with a {{m|String Shot}}! Team Rocket then call a full retreat and runs away with Meowth in tow, and Misty is about to try and get over her phobia by petting Caterpie [on Ash's request] when suddenly, Caterpie starts covering itself with some fluids and becomes brighter and brighter. It then starts to grow, and finally, becomes a {{AP|Metapod}}!

Ash and Misty then continue their journey through the forest to [[Pewter City]] with two new friends - Metapod and Pidgeotto.
