Pokemon Season 1 In English Dubbed Indigo League
The division between seasons of Pokémon is based on the English version openings of each episode, and may not reflect the actual production season. The English episode numbers are based on their first airing in the United States in syndication, and on The WB Television Network. (Other English-speaking nations largely followed either this order or the Japanese order). Subsequent airings of the English version follow the original Japanese order, except in the case of episodes which are no longer shown in English. Midway through the original series, YTV began to air the episodes before Kids' WB until sometime in Johto. There are two end-of-show segments and one mid-episode segment during the season. The mid-episode eyecatch is called "Who's That Pokémon?", where viewers identify the Pokémon covered in the episode. The first one that is shown at the end of the episode is the Pokérap, where they can rap the 150 total Pokémon. The second one is called "Pikachu's Jukebox", which includes six songs from its first official soundtrack 2.B.A. Master. The first season ran from April 1, 1997 – January 28, 1999 in Japan. This season was shown on TV Tokyo. In the United States, new episodes originally aired in syndication from September 8, 1998 – November 20, 1998 for the first 41 episodes (excluding the banned episodes), but were moved to the Kids' WB! Saturday morning line-up on February 13, 1999, where the rest of the season was aired. With a total of 80 episodes (82 in Japan), on June 24, 2000 (January 21, 1999 in Japan) Pokémon: Indigo League finished and became the longest running Pokémon season.
Episode 1 - I choose You:
Ash Ketchum is finally 10 years old, old enough to become a Pokémon Trainer. He wakes up late on the day he is supposed to receive his first Pokémon at Professor Oak's lab, however, and arrives to discover all the Pokémon are gone. Ash has no choice but to take a naughty Pikachu. Pikachu will not listen to Ash or go inside its Poké Ball, so Ash must drag it along with a rope.

Before Pikachu's treatment finishes, however, Ash is interrupted by Misty, the girl who Ash took the bike from, who vows to stick with Ash until he pays her back for destroying her bike.
