This Synopsis was written by me.
In a world much like our own, there exist over 450 creatures of all shapes, sizes, colors, and personalities, called pocket monsters ("pokemon" for short.) Some pokemon are Fire types, some are Water types, some are Grass types, and so on. Some live on land, some in the water, and some live underground. But all pokemon are equipped with special attacks that pertain to whatever type of element they are. Certain people, called pokemon trainers, use pokemon for battles. When drawn into the capture device called a pokeball, pokemon become easily portable. The goal of a pokemon trainer is to have their pokemon battle against other pokemon in order for their pokemon to get stronger. If a pokemon gets enough battle experience, it could evolve into another, more powerful creature. In order to be a good pokemon trainer, you must capture a lot of pokemon, train some of them to be really strong in pokemon battles, and most importantly, you must get your pokemon to love you and trust you, or else they won't obey you! The Pokemon anime follows the adventures of Ash Ketchum, a pokemon trainer from Pallet Town, who travels through the different regions of the pokemon world with his friends, meeting all kinds of people and pokemon, stopping Team Rocket from stealing and controlling rare pokemon, battling against other trainers and gym leaders, and all the while, Ash tries to fulfill his dream of becoming a Pokemon Master and befriend all the pokemon he meets.
