=== Main Characters ===
Hiro Heihachi - A young 10 year old Japanese boy who lives in Kanagawa with his mother. Hiro attends a martial arts class and is often isolated from the other children. Because of this, Hiro often feels lonely and wants to have a friend. He eventually meets and befriends a Pikachu which he names Thunderjolt. Hiro then discovers the other 720 Pokemon and accidentally releases them all over Kanto. The series follow him and Thunderjolt catching the other 720 Pokemon and finding them a place for them in Kanto. Although Hiro is typically cheerful, he has a sad past as his father left him and his mother when he was very young. Hiro's hobbies include karate, art, and catching Pokemon. Hiro also loves music, with his favorite band being Jackson 5, which is also his father's favorite.
Thunderjolt (025) - A Pikachu which Hiro befriends.
Professor Krane - A Pokemon professor that created genetic modifications of all 721 Pokemon. Although he has physically captured most of the Pokemon, some of them (usually legendary Pokemon) are genetically engineered Pokemon that were created from their DNA. He becomes stranded on Earth after something causes a rip in time and space which caused him to transport him and his Pokemon from the Pokemon world to Earth. He then discovers that Hiro has a Pikachu owned by him and tries to take it away from him, thinking that it would be dangerous, but then lets Hiro keep it and gives him a mission to catch all of the other 720 Pokemon. Although he is generally friendly towards Hiro, he deeply misses his family back in the Pokemon world. He deeply misses his wife and son Micheal (Who is the main character of Pokemon Adventures 02). Professor Krane often helps Hiro with his mission to catch all the Pokemon. He has invented other devices, such as a device that allows people to communicate with Pokemon.
