Ash Ketchum is the Son of famous Professor Oak ancestor to the original of the Pokemon species: creatures which can be trained to a variety of purposes. Ash is driven to boyhood desire to discover every Pokemon type in existence through traveling and friendly dueling, but his purpose changes when he learns of a sinister orginization known as team rocket, a parmilitary secret society devoted to enslaving Pokemon and using them to conquer the world. Ash is forced into several deadly serious matches against Rocket Represenatives after being initially hand picked as a good inductee for Rocket, and then being hunted after he refuses. Alongside his woefully weak but determined Pokemon friends, Ash finds himself in a tournament, rigged so that the fight is all too real, and in a final confrontation with an ancient Pokemon will determine the fate of not only all Pokemon but of mankind as well.
