Ash and Pikachu in “Pokémon: I Choose You”

[Ash and Pikachu are being chased by a flock of Spearow. He steals the bicycle of a young girl, later known as Misty, to flee the Spearow, but he eventually rides off a cliff, falling off of the bike, with the Spearow still in hot pursuit. Ash then persuades Pikachu, who became weak after the trip, to enter his Poké Ball, but to no avail. This gives Ash no choice but to muster up the guts to take on the Spearow himself]

Spearows, do you know who I am? I am Ash, from the town of Pallet. I'm destined to be the world's number-one Pokémon Master. I can't be defeated by the likes of you. [Pikachu, hearing Ash's speech, starts to pay attention to his Trainer's bravery as he continues on] I'm going to capture and defeat you all. You hear me? [the Spearow hone-in on Ash in the final moments before their attack, leading him to plead one last time for Pikachu's safety] Pikachu, go inside the Poké Ball; it's the only way. [Pikachu looks down at the Poké Ball, and then back at him. A lightning bolt strikes behind the Spearow] Come and get me! [as the Spearow charge in toward him, Pikachu starts running toward him, climbing onto his shoulder, and jumping off Ash's shoulder to counter the Spearow] Whoa!

[a lightning bolt strikes him] Pika-CHU!

WHOA!

[He releases a powerful Thunder Shock, dispersing the Spearow and creating a large explosion in the area]
