Pokémon

Upon arriving in the Unova region with Pikachu, his mom and Professor Oak, Ash must unexpectedly deal with the loss of Pikachu's electric powers.

Just as Ash makes a new friend in a trainer named Iris, Team Rocket appears and tries to steal Pikachu and Iris' Axew; Ash sends his newly caught Pidove against Jessie and her new Woobat, but Pidove is not strong enough.

On their way to Striaton City and Ash's first Unova Gym Battle challenge, Ash and Iris come across a family who run a hotel in dire need of help.

Ash and Iris stop in Accumula Town and find Don George's Battle Club; after watching a battle between a Servine and a Dewott, Ash challenges the owner of the Dewott, but an intruder Pokémon delays their match.

Arriving in Striaton City, Ash looks for his first battle in the Unova region and runs up against three gym leaders; Team Rocket undertakes a mission to steal something vital from a research facility.

With one win and one loss, Ash must defeat the third gym leader to claim the Trio Badge, and he gains a new ally for his efforts; Team Rocket's attempt to take the secret of "future energy" draws unwanted attention.
