"The cartoon's visual style is remarkable. It alternates urban and rural settings and imbues nature with surreal, space-age edge." —T.V. Guide STORY AND ART BY Toshihiro Ono BASED ON THE ANIMATED SERIES BY Tsunekazu Ishihara and Satoshi Tajiri VIZ GRAPHIC NOVEL "The comic book is loads of fun: a rich fantasy with loads of appeal for both boys and girls." —Comics Buyer's Guide "Pokémon is a great comic for the kids in your life, and for the young at heart." —Wizard Magazine Pokémon Befriend 150 lovable creatures and watch them evolve, train and battle with other Pokémon! Pokémon began as a game for the Nintendo Game Boy™ and became a #1 rated TV series, line of toys, and multi-media products that's taken the world by storm! THE ELECTRIC TALE OF PIKACHU Pikachu is one of the cutest Pokémon ever! Ash Ketchum wants to be the greatest Pokémon master and decides to train Pikachu to be his first and best Pokémon partner. This dynamic duo challenges other Pokémon as Ash aims to join the Pokémon League! The adventures all begin when Ash finds Pikachu below the floorboards of his house. At first Pikachu is leery of Ash and ignores his new master's orders. But kind Ash soon earns Pikachu's trust, and so begins their exciting quest! Meet the leaders of the Pokémon gyms: Brock, Misty and Sabrina. Discover secrets of Pokémon life from researchers Professor Oak and Bill. And, of course, locate exciting and rare Pokémon like Clefairy, Fearow, Haunter, Beedrill, Mankey, Onix, Gyarados and many, many more! Watch the team of Ash and Pikachu try to win badges from Brock and Misty. Afterwards, Ash travels to Mount Moon to explore the culture of the Clefairy. Then everybody helps Sabrina escape the clutches of an evil, enormous Haunter! Pokémon is more than a game or a TV show, it is a cultural phenomenon that has won the hearts of Japanese and American fans alike! Pokémon comics, games, TV episodes and toys are run away hits worldwide. But Pokémon's appeal comes from exciting stories and dynamic personalities—the heart displayed by Ash, the main character, and the loyalty of Pikachu and the other Pokémon. See for yourself what all the excitement is about! [sic] |
