Along the way, he befriends and travels with other trainers, Misty and Brock. To this day, they continue to compete against Gym Leaders and trainers around the world. Pursuing them is the evil secret organization, Team Rocket, which aims to conquer the world. They believe Pikachu possesses extraordinary power and swear to capture it at all costs.

He then enters his newly caught Charmander into a fighting tournament, and the Pokémon surprisingly wins the championship. Subsequently, he sends Charmander to the Fighting Dojo to train under Master Oak. Recently, Charmander, who has formed a bond with Ash, sheds tears in his eyes. Their next destination is the Viridian Gym!
