I have a good plan on getting Pikachu, my character arrives late so Prof. Oak has no Pokemon to give her, so he gives her, her Pokedex, 5 PokeBalls, and the rare Master Ball to use to catch her starter on her own. She goes out onto Route 1 and when she's eating her lunch Pikachu comes nosing around. She decides to make Pikachu her Starter Pokemon and catches it with the Master Ball.
