In ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'', Ash managed to get to the [[Viridian City]] [[Pokémon Center]] just in time with the help of [[Officer Jenny]], who chewed Ash out for "mistreating" Pikachu. [[Nurse Joy]] agreed to heal Pikachu, and thanks to her, Pikachu managed to regain his health. At the end of the episode, Pikachu managed to gain enough of his strength back to send {{TRT}} blasting off for the very first time. | In ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'', Ash managed to get to the [[Viridian City]] [[Pokémon Center]] just in time with the help of [[Officer Jenny]], who chewed Ash out for "mistreating" Pikachu.

Pikachu participated in Ash's first gym battle with {{an|Brock}} in ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]''. It faced {{TP|Brock|Onix}}, but since his Electric moves were ineffective, Ash forfeited. Ash and Pikachu later trained with {{ka|Flint}} in order to increase the strength of Pikachu's Electric moves. Ash later challenged Brock to a rematch, where Pikachu's {{m|Thunderbolt}} attack managed to turn on the gym's sprinkler system, severely harming Onix.

Pikachu's next major battle was against [[Lt. Surge's Raichu]] in ''[[EP014|Electric Shock Showdown]]''. Lt. Surge laughed at Ash for attempting to defeat his Raichu with its pre-evolved form. Raichu's Electric moves did prove to be overwhelming for Pikachu, and he had to be hospitalized. Later in the episode, Ash offered to let Pikachu evolve into a Raichu with the [[Thunder Stone]] that Nurse Joy had given him. However, Pikachu refused, wanting to defeat Raichu on his own terms. In Ash's rematch with Lt. Surge, Pikachu once again struggled. However, Ash soon found out that since Raichu was evolved so early, it did not learn any of the moves that it could only learn in the Pikachu stage, such as {{m|Agility}} and {{m|Quick Attack}}. Through Pikachu's use of these moves, it managed to gain the upper hand. Raichu responded with an extremely powerful Thunderbolt attack that Lt. Surge was sure could defeat Pikachu. Luckily, Pikachu used his tail as an anchor to absorb the shock, and used its tail to slam Raichu and defeat it, earning Ash the [[Thunder Badge]]. | Pikachu's next major battle was against [[Lt.

Ash decided to just bring Pikachu to [[Unova]] with him, just like he did in [[Hoenn]]. In ''[[BW001|In The Shadow of Zekrom!]]'', Pikachu had an encounter with {{p|Zekrom}}, which unaware by Ash, caused Pikachu to lose his ability to use Electric-type moves. Ash finally noticed during his battle against [[Trip]] and [[Trip's Serperior|his Snivy]], causing Ash to forfeit. Pikachu soon recovered his electric-type moves, however this incident appeared to cause Pikachu to suffer a loss in his overall power, as he was seen struggling in battles which, given his past experience, he should have had little trouble with (although this was never explicitly stated to be the case). In ''[[BW005|Triple Leaders, Team Threats!]]'', Ash used Pikachu in his Gym battle at the [[Striaton Gym]], where he faced [[Cress]] and his {{p|Panpour}}. Even though he tried his best, Pikachu was just not as fast as Panpour and was defeated without landing a single hit despite the type-advantage. In ''[[BW010|A Battle for Club Champ!]]'', he battled Trip's {{p|Tranquill}}, who had already taken out [[Ash's Oshawott]] and {{AP|Tepig}}. He took a beating from multiple {{m|Aerial Ace}}s, but showed Trip the power of his electrical attacks by defeating Tranquill with Volt Tackle. He then battled Snivy again, who by then had evolved into {{p|Servine}}. However, despite not being incapacitated, he was once again defeated. In ''[[BW013|Minccino-Neat and Tidy!]]'', Ash used Pikachu in a battle against {{an|Bianca}} and her {{TP|Bianca|Pignite}}. Even though he had some trouble at first, Pikachu was able to pull through in the end and defeat Pignite with a powerful Volt Tackle. | Ash decided to just bring Pikachu to [[Unova]] with him, just like he did in [[Hoenn]].
