Viridian City is on high alert for thieves like Jessie, James and Meowth of Team Rocket, a group of bad guys dedicated to stealing valuable Pokémon.

Ash catches a Caterpie, the first Pokémon he's ever caught! But Misty is grossed out by it and repulsed by its attempts to be friends with her.

When a battle involving Ash's Metapod is interrupted by an angry swarm of Beedrill, Ash flees but leaves his Metapod behind.

After being rescued by Ash and pals, a grateful scientist leads them to find the storied Moon Stone, which is said to increase the power of Pokémon.

In Cerulean City, three gym leaders turn down Ash's challenge, but then a fourth, mysterious gym leader steps in to take up the battle.

Ash hears of A.J., fierce Pokémon trainer who has never lost a match. Full of confidence, Ash heads directly for A.J.'s gym to find his new opponent.

At the Pokémon Technical Institute, Ash and Misty challenge a conceited girl who is the ringleader of a bullying training system at the school.
