Remarkably, he caught him without a [[Pokémon battle]], which {{an|Misty}} attributed to Caterpie's weakness. Caterpie was quite fond of Misty, but, much to Caterpie's misfortune, she wanted nothing to do with him because he was a {{type2|Bug}} Pokémon, which she feared. The night after he was captured, Caterpie and [[Ash's Pikachu]] talked to each other, and Caterpie revealed his desire to [[Evolution|evolve]] into a {{p|Butterfree}}. He then became very sad, as if he was not sure he could do it, but Pikachu encouraged him. He fell asleep next to Misty, who screamed at him the next morning for this and hurt his feelings. | ||
Caterpie was the first Pokémon Ash sent out against the next Pokémon he tried to capture, [[Ash's Pidgeot|Pidgeotto]]. With a large disadvantage against the {{type2|Flying}} Pokémon, he was beaten severely. Despite this, when [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}} appeared to attempt to steal Pikachu, Ash sent out his weakened Caterpie against them. They laughed, but Caterpie had the last laugh, taking down both [[James's Koffing]] and [[Jessie's Ekans]] by himself using {{m|String Shot}} and {{m|Tackle}}. Just as Misty was about to get over her fear and congratulate Caterpie on his victory, he evolved into {{p|Metapod}}, which bothered her even more. | Caterpie was the first Pokémon Ash sent out against the next Pokémon he tried to capture, [[Ash's Pidgeot|Pidgeotto]].

Later in the same chapter, during Ash's Gym battle against Misty, Metapod evolves into Butterfree. | ||
Ash's Butterfree is seen again in ''[[ET03|Clefairy Tale]]'' battling a wild {{p|Onix}} and in ''[[ET04|Haunting My Dreams]]'' battling the Black Fog, but he is not used again after that. He may have been released like he was in the anime, however, no scenes implying this are shown in the manga. Butterfree is not shown when Ash brings his entire [[party]] out of their [[Poké Ball]]s in ''[[ET08|You Gotta Have Friends]]''. | Ash's Butterfree is seen again in ''[[ET03|Clefairy Tale]]'' battling a wild {{p|Onix}} and in ''[[ET04|Haunting My Dreams]]'' battling the Black Fog, but he is not used again after that.

* Ash's Butterfree evolved third fastest of all Pokémon in the anime, after [[Xander]]'s {{p|Caterpie}} who appeared in the episode ''[[AG142|Caterpie's Big Dilemma]]'' and [[Jessie]]'s {{TP|Jessie|Yanma|Yanmega}}. It took altogether less than 2 episodes to evolve two stages whereas the other Caterpie evolved two stages within an episode and Jessie's Yanma evolved one stage within one episode. | * Ash's Butterfree evolved third fastest of all Pokémon in the anime, after [[Xander]]'s {{p|Caterpie}} who appeared in the episode ''[[AG142|Caterpie's Big Dilemma]]'' and [[Jessie]]'s {{TP|Jessie|Yanma|Yanmega}}.

* As a Caterpie, it was the first Pokémon owned by a main character to make its debut in an episode prior to that of its capture (others include {{TP|Dawn|Aipom|Ambipom}}, [[Ash's Chimchar]], and [[Ash's Gible]]). One could say that Caterpie's appearance at the end of ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'' was a technicality, however, as the first few episodes tended to overlap their beginnings and endings with the previous and next episodes. | * As a Caterpie, it was the first Pokémon owned by a main character to make its debut in an episode prior to that of its capture (others include {{TP|Dawn|Aipom|Ambipom}}, [[Ash's Chimchar]], and [[Ash's Gible]]).

* Caterpie is also the first of a main character's Pokémon who had his artwork changed to match the recent Sugimori art despite being introduced before the change (in a flashback of ''[[DP080|The Thief That Keeps on Thieving!]]'', Caterpie's mouth was green, as in the Generation III Sugimori art, when at the time of its introduction it was yellow). | * Caterpie is also the first of a main character's Pokémon who had his artwork changed to match the recent Sugimori art despite being introduced before the change (in a flashback of ''[[DP080|The Thief That Keeps on Thieving!]]'', Caterpie's mouth was green, as in the Generation III Sugimori art, when at the time of its introduction it was yellow). | ||
