As someone who has loved पोकेमोन from the time I was in elementary school, I have read this book, and I must say, I cannot find any और good and positive things to say about it.

Basically, the protagonist Ash Ketchum learns a good lesson at the beginning of the book: make sure to go to बिस्तर early on the night before the दिन of a big adventure. (In his case, it’s beginning a पोकेमोन journey.) Of course, that lesson is one that we’ve all learned और than once — especially when the same thing happens to us from time to time as well.

Ash also learns why sleeping late isn’t a good idea when he comes to Professor Oak’s laboratory (while wearing his green pajamas, as he’d forgotten to stop and change his clothes beforehand), only to discover, much to his disappointment, that the Kanto starter पोकेमोन — Bulbasaur, Charmander and Squirtle — have already been taken द्वारा other trainers who had been on time. To (seemingly) make matters worse, all Professor Oak has left is a Pikachu.

Thankfully, over the course of the book, Ash and पिकाचू begin their friendship when they’re attacked द्वारा a flock of Spearow (as Ash had mistook one of them for a Pidgey and hit it with a rock), and पिकाचू drives them away with a Thundershock attack. :)

I highly recommend this book to anyone who is a प्रशंसक of Pokémon, as well as those who like a good book, and I give it five stars as well.. :)
