In [[XY122|the next episode]], he participated in Ash's rematch against [[Wulfric]] and faced his {{p|Bergmite}}. Bergmite was able to move at a high speed by skating on the icy battlefield, allowing it to dodge an incoming Electro Ball. After jumping in the air to avoid Bergmite, Pikachu was hit by its Icy Wind, numbing his legs, slowing him down. As a result, Bergmite was able to easily dodge his Quick Attack, but was then hit from behind by a Thunderbolt. Bergmite then used {{m|Sharpen}}, encasing it in a diamond-shaped block of ice. It then rushed forwards using Rapid Spin, hurling Pikachu into an ice stalactite. Ash then had Pikachu run around to get rid of the numbness in his legs. Now having regained his Speed, Pikachu was able to knock Bergmite over with Quick Attack and hit it with Iron Tail, breaking through the block of ice and defeating it. Next, Pikachu faced Wulfric's {{p|Avalugg}}. He immediately scored a hit with Thunderbolt, but Avalugg withstood the attack and retaliated with an extra powerful {{m|Avalanche}}. Avalugg then went after Pikachu using {{m|Gyro Ball}}, but Pikachu created a hole in the battlefield with Iron Tail, causing Avalugg to get caught in it, stopping its movements. Avalugg, however, was able to use Stone Edge while spinning and despite Pikachu's attempt to destroy the rocks with Thunderbolt, he was hit hard and got knocked out.

Pikachu was used in the semi-finals of the [[Lumiose Conference]] in [[XY127]], where Ash chose him as his third Pokémon in his battle against Sawyer. He was sent out against Sawyer's powerful {{p|Clawitzer}}. Pikachu used the forest battle field to his advantage by climbing into the trees and jump from branch to branch in order to confuse Clawitzer. Despite this, Clawitzer was still able to dodge his Thunderbolt and Quick Attack by launching itself in the air. After dodging an Ice Beam, Pikachu launched an Electro Ball which collided with Clawitzer's Dragon Pulse. Clawitzer then chased after him with {{m|Aqua Jet}}, but Pikachu was able lose it in the forest, allowing him to attack with a surprise Iron Tail. Clawitzer, however, reacted in time and was able to grab Pikachu's tail with its pincer and prepared to launch a {{m|Water Pulse}}. Ash then had Pikachu use Electro Ball to break free from Clawitzer's grip and finish the Howitzer Pokémon off with Thunderbolt. Pikachu then faced Sawyer's next Pokémon, his {{p|Aegislash}}. Pikachu tried to use the forest again, but Aegislash prevented him from doing so by chopping down the trees using {{m|Sacred Sword}}. [[XY128|Continuing their battle]], Pikachu attacked with Iron Tail, but Aegislash protected itself from the attack with {{m|King's Shield}}, which also lowered Pikachu's Attack. He was then unable to keep up with Aegislash's fast moves and was hit twice by powerful Sacred Sword attacks. Pikachu then tried attacking with Thunderbolt, but Aegislash once again used King's Shield to protect itself. Ash then noticed that Aegislash had to attach itself to its shield in order to use King's Shield. Using this knowledge, he had Pikachu use Iron Tail on the ground, which caused the chopped down logs to fly up in the air. Pikachu then used its great speed and performed a variation of Draco Meteor Climb to jump on the logs confusing Aegislash and avoiding its attacks. As Aegislash tried going for King's Shield again, Pikachu knocked one of the wooden chunks between Aegislash's shield, making it unable to defend itself properly. With his opponent left vulnerable, Pikachu used Thunderbolt to defeat Aegislash. As Sawyer had lost three of his Pokémon the battlefield was changed and Ash decided to recall Pikachu. He was later used again to face [[Sawyer's Sceptile]]. Pikachu started off with a Quick Attack, but Sceptile countered with Leaf Storm, throwing him in the air. He, however, was able to break through the leaves and strike Sceptile with Thunderbolt. After a clash between Iron Tail and {{m|Leaf Blade}}, Pikachu was unable to dodge Sceptile's {{m|Frenzy Plant}}, knocking him out.
