Pokémon the Movie: I Choose You!

The film opens with Ash watching an intense Pokémon battle on TV. Excitedly, he dreams of becoming a Pokémon trainer, eager to start his adventure the next day.

Ash’s mom, Delia Ketchum, wakes him up, realizing he has overslept. In his frantic rush, he breaks his Poké Ball-shaped alarm clock, showcasing his eagerness to become a trainer.

Ash arrives at Professor Oak's lab only to find out he is the last trainer to arrive. Unfortunately, all the starter Pokémon have been taken, leaving only one option available for him.

Desperate, Ash accepts the last Pokémon available, a stubborn Pikachu. However, their first encounter is rocky as Pikachu shocks Ash instead of being cooperative.

As they set off on their journey, Ash struggles to communicate with Pikachu who is reluctant to assist him. This sets the tone for their rocky relationship right from the start.

During their travels, Ash angers a Spearow by throwing rocks, leading to a chaotic chase. This forces both Ash and Pikachu to leap into a river as they flee from the angry flock.

In a moment of danger, Pikachu unexpectedly saves Ash by using a powerful Thunderbolt against the attacking Spearow. After this experience, their bond begins to strengthen.

As Ash and Pikachu continue their journey, they successfully capture their first Pokémon, a Caterpie. This marks a significant milestone in Ash's early days as a trainer.

Ash challenges Erika, the leader of the Celadon City Gym, and wins the coveted Rainbow Badge. This victory highlights Ash's growth and dedication as a trainer.

During a phone call with his mother, Ash learns that a Legendary Pokémon, Entei, has been spotted nearby. He quickly sets off in pursuit, not knowing the challenges that lie ahead.

In his chase of Entei, Ash teams up with Verity and her Pokémon, Piplup. Together, they try to confront the powerful Legendary, which ultimately proves to be too overwhelming.

After a series of events, Ash and his friends discover an abandoned and injured Charmander. They rally together, vowing to help it after discussing the bond between Pokémon and trainers.

Tensions rise as Ash faces Marshadow in a fierce battle, where Ash risks everything to protect Pikachu. This moment tests their bond and puts Ash’s life in danger.

After overcoming numerous challenges, Ash and Pikachu finally meet Ho-oh. This encounter teaches them about the true meaning of strength and the depth of their friendship.

The film ends on a hopeful note as Ash reconciles with Cross and they acknowledge each other's paths. Ash and Pikachu venture into the unknown, ready for more adventures together.
