==Episode Plot==
 
==Episode Plot==
  +
[[Ash Ketchum|Ash]] excitedly arrives in the [[Unova]] region along with [[Ash's Pikachu|Pikachu]], [[Delia|his mom]], and [[Professor Oak]]. Meanwhile, [[Team Rocket]]'s boss, [[Giovanni]], has given them an important assignment in the Unova region. As [[Jessie]], [[James]], and [[Team Rocket's Meowth|Meowth]] prepare for their new assignment, Professor Oak introduces Ash to [[Professor Juniper]], one of the top researchers in Unova.
Once again [[Ash]] sets his sights on a new region and a new adventure. He, his mom, and Prof. Oak set out on a plane to Unova. At the same time, Jessie and James of Team Rocket are given an assignment by Giovanni to Unova. Upon arrival in Unova (Nuvema Town), Ash sees an Alomomola but then Jessie and James appear and try to capture Pikachu. They would've sucseeded, but Zekrom appears and strikes Pikachu with lightning. When Zekrom vanishes and the storm that came with it clears up, it shows that [[Team Rocket|Jessie and James]] has vanished as well.
 
   
  +
Suddenly, a dark storm cloud appears, and Pikachu is hit with a massive amount of electricity! Professor Juniper does a quick examination of Pikachu, but she doesn't seem to find anything wrong. Later on, however, when Ash battles a budding new Trainer named [[Trip]] and his first Pokémon [[Trip's Serperior|Snivy]], Pikachu can't use any Electric-type moves!
Ash and Pikachu visit Prof. Juniper's lab, and there they meet Prof. Juniper. After informing Ash about the Unova region, she ubdates his Pokédex for Unova's unique Pokémon. Afterwards, Trip appears and is given his choice of a starter. Out of Tepig, Snivy, and Oshawott, he chooses Snivy, gets his Poké Balls, and his Pokédex. Ash challenges Trip, and battles him outside the Pokémon Center.
 
   
  +
Back at Professor Juniper's lab, we learn that Pikachu is still suffering the effects of the lightning strike during the thunderstorm. Just as Professor Juniper reaches her conclusion, the same dark cloud appears as suddenly as before! The professor then recounts the story of the Legendary Pokémon [[Zekrom]], and everyone wonders if it could be responsible for the mysterious disappearance of Pikachu's Electric-type powers. Will Pikachu ever be able to use those powers again?
In the battle, Ash finds his Pikachu can't use Electric-Type Attacks. After a brief battle, Pikachu losing to Snivy's Leaf Tornado, Ash returns to the Lab and lets Prof. Juniper know. She then hooks Pikachu up to a machine that will restore its attacks. Zekrom then returns and strikes the lab with lightning.

Revision as of 22:24, 17 July 2014


In the Shadow of Zekrom is the first episode of Pokémon: Black and White, where Ash and Pikachu get ready to start a new journey in the Unova region. Ash also gets a new outfit, like in previous seasons.

Episode Plot

Ash excitedly arrives in the Unova region along with Pikachu, his mom, and Professor Oak. Meanwhile, Team Rocket's boss, Giovanni, has given them an important assignment in the Unova region. As Jessie, James, and Meowth prepare for their new assignment, Professor Oak introduces Ash to Professor Juniper, one of the top researchers in Unova.

Suddenly, a dark storm cloud appears, and Pikachu is hit with a massive amount of electricity! Professor Juniper does a quick examination of Pikachu, but she doesn't seem to find anything wrong. Later on, however, when Ash battles a budding new Trainer named Trip and his first Pokémon Snivy, Pikachu can't use any Electric-type moves!

Back at Professor Juniper's lab, we learn that Pikachu is still suffering the effects of the lightning strike during the thunderstorm. Just as Professor Juniper reaches her conclusion, the same dark cloud appears as suddenly as before! The professor then recounts the story of the Legendary Pokémon Zekrom, and everyone wonders if it could be responsible for the mysterious disappearance of Pikachu's Electric-type powers. Will Pikachu ever be able to use those powers again?

Mistakes

BW001 glitch 1

An error on Ash's Pikachu's ear.

  • Pikachu's ears are at both sides, but in one scene only one of his ears were black and the other one was colored completely yellow.
  • The Japanese narrator starts off as they do at the beginning of the series and movies by explaining what 'Pokémon' stands for. The English dub skips the 'Pocket Monsters' explanation part.

English Narrator: The Pokémon world! Japanese Narrator: Pocket Monsters, "Pokémon" for short. (ナレーター): ポケットモンスター 縮めてポケモン。

  • Sakaki in the Japanese original specifically states that the plan is to 'take over the world'. Giovanni in the English dub just states that the Unova region is vital to completing Team Rocket's plan.

Giovanni: A major new stepping-stone that will move us toward the successful completion of our plan. Sakaki: This place is to become a new foothold in our plan to conquer the world. (サカキ): 我がロケット団世界征服計画の新たな足がかりとなる場所だ。

  • The English dub added an extra line for the Air Traffic Control man.

Air Traffic Control: You are cleared for landing.

  • The reference to the thundercloud being like God's eye (神の目) was removed from the English dub.

Professor Juniper: From within its thundercloud, Zekrom watches over people and Pokémon. Professor Araragi: The huge thundercloud is a god's eye protecting people and Pokémon. (アララギ): 巨大な雷雲は人とポケモンを見守る神の目。

  • The 'Who's that Pokémon?' segment returns as the commercial eye catch in the English dub.

When the plane-boat lands it has a total different colloration than when it is in the air.
