[The episode opens with a scene featuring Zekrom, the Deep Black Pokémon, on the top half of the screen, and Reshiram, the Vast White Pokémon, on the bottom half. The scene mixes into the world of Pokémon from space]
The Pokémon world. [The camera zooms in on the planet] A world teeming with the most amazing creatures imaginable... [The camera pans across the sea, some countryside and a town nearby] ...Populating the land, the sea and the air. [The screen fades to white] Wherever you may find yourself, chances are Pokémon will be there, too. [Fade to Ash's house in Pallet Town] And that includes the Kanto region's Pallet Town... [The camera cuts to Ash putting a blue and white zipping hoodie on in his bedroom] ...home to this young man... [Pikachu jumps onto Ash's shoulder] ...ten-year-old Ash Ketchum, a Pokémon trainer dreaming of one day becoming a Pokémon Master.
[Ash picks up his backpack, leaves the room and then comes back in]
Oops. Yeah! [Picks up his hat and puts it on] Mm. Pikachu, psyched?
Pika!
Me too. Taking a trip with mom. Can't remember the last time we did that, you know?
Ash, Professor Oak is here to pick us up.
Great.
Pika!
Huh? [His mom sorts his hat out]
Hm. There. Perfect.
