They are accompanied by a group of alternating friends, including Misty, Brock, May, Max, Tracey, Todd and Dawn. In the first episode, Ash Ketchum receives his Pikachu from Professor Oak. At first, Pikachu largely ignores Ash's requests, shocking him frequently and refusing to be confined to the conventional method of Pokémon transportation, a Poké Ball. However, Ash puts himself in danger to defend Pikachu from a flock of wild Spearow. Through these demonstrations of respect and unconditional commitment, Pikachu warms up to Ash, and their friendship is formed.
