In [[BW096]], Ash battles {{an|Giovanni}} with Pikachu trying to protect {{an|Meloetta}}, but is defeated by his {{TP|Giovanni|Persian}} and Giovanni successfully captures Meloetta, and takes it, along with the imprisoned Ash and Pikachu, to the [[Abyssal Ruins]]. In [[BW097|the next episode]], Pikachu managed to break Team Rocket's force field prison by striking it repeatedly with Iron Tail, freeing both Ash and himself. They made an attempt to reach Meloetta, but were sent flying by the attacks of [[Jessie's Woobat]] and [[James's Yamask]]. Luckily, they were safely caught mid-air and brought down by {{an|Larry}}'s {{p|Golurk}}. Later, during the battle against the mind-controlled [[Form differences#Kami trio|Therian Forme]] kami trio, as Thundurus aimed a Thunder attack at [[Iris's Dragonite]] and Iris stepped on its way to protect her Pokémon, Pikachu jumped in, and absorbed the massive blast of electricity himself. This gave Pikachu a tremendous power boost, as seen later, when Ash told Pikachu to use Electro Ball on Team Rocket. The supercharged attack grew into amazingly massive proportions, inflicting notable damage on the Abyssal Ruins, sending Team Rocket flying, and freeing Meloetta. However, the blast also caused Giovanni to get a straight view at the {{DL|List of key items in Generation V|Reveal Glass}}, causing its possessive powers to take over and corrupt his mind, sending the kami trio on a mindless rampage in an attempt to ''destroy'' Unova rather than conquer it. The possession was broken when Jessie, James, and Meowth pushed Giovanni out of the enchanted ring, breaking the spell. As Giovanni realized that it would be impossible to control the legendary Pokémon without Meloetta, he ordered a full retreat back to [[Kanto]]. Even while aboard the Team Rocket helicopter, Jessie and James couldn't help at admiring Pikachu's incredible powers. When Meloetta later left with Larry, Pikachu was saying goodbye to it, along with Ash, Cilan, Iris, Cynthia, Axew, and the heartbroken Oshawott. | In [[BW096]], Ash battles {{an|Giovanni}} with Pikachu trying to protect {{an|Meloetta}}, but is defeated by his {{TP|Giovanni|Persian}} and Giovanni successfully captures Meloetta, and takes it, along with the imprisoned Ash and Pikachu, to the [[Abyssal Ruins]].

In [[BW103]], Ash chooses to use Pikachu in the preliminary round of the [[Higaki Conference]] against [[Trip]] and his {{TP|Trip|Serperior}}. Despite executing all his attacks perfectly Serperior was able to dodge all of them with ease and knock Pikachu down with a powerful {{m|Dragon Tail}}. | In [[BW103]], Ash chooses to use Pikachu in the preliminary round of the [[Higaki Conference]] against [[Trip]] and his {{TP|Trip|Serperior}}. Despite executing all his attacks perfectly, Serperior was able to dodge all of them with ease and knock Pikachu down with a powerful {{m|Dragon Tail}}. As the battle continued in [[BW104]], Serperior hit Pikachu with an {{m|Energy Ball}} and a barrage of Dragon Tails, before {{m|wrap}}ping Pikachu in a tight squeeze. With great effort, Pikachu fired a Thunderbolt, but it proved useless, as Serperior simply stuck his tail into the ground, conducting the electricity away. As Pikachu was struggling to catch a breath and his face was turning purple, Serperior prepared to finish him off. Luckily, with some quick thinking from Ash, Pikachu was released from Serperior's grip by an Iron Tail. Before Pikachu could attack, however, he was once again hit by a Dragon Tail. As Serperior prepared for the next strike, Ash got an idea to use two moves at once to match Serperior's power, and had Pikachu to use Electro Ball and Iron Tail simultaneously. The attack combination collided with Serperior's Dragon Tail, causing a big explosion. As the smoke cleared, Serperior was still up and Pikachu was lying down, but Pikachu had, in fact, survived the attack and knock out Serperior. Pikachu jumped in joy of winning the battle for Ash and leaped to his arms as the defeated Serperior fell down to the ground, much to Trip's shock and surprise. | ||
