You are a young soon-to-be-trainer from the small town of Pallet. Tomorrow is your tenth birthday, the day you get your first pokemon and start your incredible journey! Unfortunately you were so excited that you didn’t get much sleep last night, and as a result you woke up late. By the time you arrived at Oak’s lab, all three of the starter pokemon had been claimed by other trainers…

However, the professor had one pokemon that he could give you. An electric mouse called Pikachu.
