Episode One "Pokemon! I choose you!"

In the beggining ash was so happy to get a pokemon but he seemed so mad when he got there and all the starter pokemon were already taken.  When he found out the gary his rival had gotten one he flew off the handle.  Ash was relieved to find out he still could have a pokemon but when he got pikachu the first thing it did was shock Ash. It seemed that it was going to be a hard obstacle to overcome; pikachu accepting Ash as its trainer.  Pikachu seemed to me like he didnt want a trainer and when ash tried to put it in a pokeball pikachu hit it with its tail, driving the ball into ash's face.  I can relate to that, i mean would you like to be trapped inside of a small ball for hours or days? Ash finds a pidgy and since pikachu isnt helping him at all he decides to try to catch it himself but he is easily beat by a gust attack. I knew he wasn't going to win because hes a human and he cant fight a pokemon, espicially since he's so young.  Ash threw a rock at some pidgys but missed and hit a Fearow the evolved from of Spearow and is attacked by it.  Pikachu shocks it but that alerts the whole nest of Spearow and they start divebombing Ash and Pikachu.  A girl named Misty shows them to the pokemon center and that same night after pikachu is recovered storm clouds appear. Ash takes mistys bike but crashes it and he and pikachu use it to get an extra boost to their lightning shock attack which becomes strong enough to drive away the whole flock of Spearows and the Fearow.  After their departure with the new companion Misty, Ash sees a big golden bird fly over him, which i think will end up being an important event in the years to come.
