As Misty and Brock rest in a forest clearing, Ash swings on a vine when suddenly he slams into a tree trunk. Pikachu rushes to Ash’s side, but notices a small, wild Pikachu nearby. Ash’s Pikachu runs after it, as Ash and his friends follow close behind. The pursuit ends at a forest clearing, where they find a whole clan of Pikachu. Ash’s Pikachu, eager to say hello, jumps forward, but the wild Pikachu become scared and run off. Ash’s Pikachu becomes disheartened, but the small Pikachu comes over and shakes tails to greet him. Soon after, the other Pikachu surround Ash’s, and Brock notes that they must have accepted him. Ash, also eager to join the Pikachu clan, runs toward them, but they flee in fear.
