| Finally arriving in Viridian City, Ash is cornered by Officer Jenny who asks why he is carrying Pikachu instead of having it in a Pokéball. He explains that Pikachu doesn’t like Pokéballs and shows her his Pokédex proving that he is one of the Pallet Town Trainers. Jenny takes Ash to the Pokémon Center where Nurse Joy begins treatment on the injured Pikachu. Before Pikachu’s treatment finishes, however, the Center is attacked by two members of Team Rocket. Note: This episode marks the first appearance of Team Rocket in the series and the Team Rocket members Jessie, James, and Meowth. | ||||
