Ash used Pikachu many times during the [[Indigo Plateau Conference]]. In ''[[EP076|Fire and Ice]]'', Pikachu fought against [[Pete Pebbleman]]'s powerful {{p|Arcanine}}. Pikachu started off using Agility to confuse Arcanine, but this strategy was countered by Arcanine by melting the ice field using its Fire Blast, which caused to whole battlefield to be one big pool of water. Pikachu, however, used this to his advantage by using the water to conduct his electricity and managed to defeat Arcanine with Thunderbolt. | Ash used Pikachu many times during the [[Indigo Plateau Conference]].

In ''[[EP077|The Fourth Round Rumble]]'' he fought against [[Jeanette Fisher]]'s {{p|Bellsprout}}, who already had defeated [[Ash's Bulbasaur]]. Pikachu tried using Thunder Shock, but Bellsprout dodged and used {{m|Razor Leaf}}. Managing to avoid Razor Leaf, Pikachu used Thunderbolt, but it was ineffective since Bellsprout used its roots to conduct the electricity to the ground. Despite trying his best, he was easily defeated by the skilled Pokémon's {{m|Slam}}. | In ''[[EP077|The Fourth Round Rumble]]'', he fought against [[Jeanette Fisher]]'s {{p|Bellsprout}}, who already had defeated [[Ash's Bulbasaur]].

Pikachu later faced off against Happy, [[Ritchie]]'s {{p|Butterfree}}, in ''[[EP079|Friend and Foe Alike]]''. Despite being exhausted from battling Team Rocket earlier, he still wanted to participate in the battle and has enough energy to battle. Pikachu started off with {{m|Double-Edge}}, knocking Happy to the ground. As Happy tried flying up, Pikachu held on to it and defeated the Butterfly Pokémon with a Thunderbolt. He then faced off against [[Zippo]], Ritchie's {{p|Charmander}}, but due to being exhausted by all his battles, Pikachu was quickly overwhelmed by Zippo's {{m|Flamethrower}} and was knocked out by its {{m|Tackle}}. | Pikachu later faced off against Happy, [[Ritchie]]'s {{p|Butterfree}}, in ''[[EP079|Friend and Foe Alike]]''.

In ''[[AG101|Vanity Affair]]'', Ash used Pikachu against [[Hoenn Elite Four]] member [[Drake]]. Pikachu battled against his {{p|Shelgon}}. Pikachu used Thunderbolt and scored a direct hit. As Pikachu went for a second Thunderbolt, Shelgon used Double-Edge and managed to dodge the attack. Due to Shelgon's low {{stat|Speed}}, Pikachu easily dodged the attack with Quick Attack. When Pikachu was about to finish Shelgon off with Iron Tail, Shelgon had Pikachu come close and then hit him hard with Dragon Breath. Shelgon then followed up with {{m|Dragon Claw}}, knocking Pikachu out. | In ''[[AG101|Vanity Affair]]'', Ash used Pikachu against [[Hoenn Elite Four]] member [[Drake]].

In ''[[AG110|The Great Eight Fate!]]'' Ash chose Pikachu, along with his {{AP|Snorunt}} as his first two Pokémon in a Double Battle in the first round of his [[Sootopolis Gym]] battle. They went up against [[Juan]]'s {{p|Sealeo}} and Seaking. Pikachu used his Thunderbolt on Sealeo, but Seaking used {{m|Horn Drill}} to reflect it to Snorunt. Pikachu then used Thunder, but Seaking once again used Horn Drill to reflect the attack to Snorunt again. This time, however, Pikachu protected Snorunt, taking most of the damage. Sealeo then used Blizzard on the two, dealing much damage to Pikachu. Ash then had Snorunt use its Icy Wind to freeze the Blizzard, creating an ice pillar, which blocked Juan's view. Sealeo and Seaking destroyed the pillar with their Aurora Beam and Hyper Beam respectively, this created ice shards, which Ash had Snorunt and Pikachu jump on. Snorunt then used {{m|Headbutt}}, | In ''[[AG110|The Great Eight Fate!]]'' Ash chose Pikachu, along with his {{AP|Snorunt}} as his first two Pokémon in a Double Battle in the first round of his [[Sootopolis Gym]] battle.

While Pikachu was able to dodge Aurora Beam, Snorunt wasn't able to avoid the Hyper Beam and was knocked out. | ||
Ash then sent out his Corphish. After dodging Corphish's Bubble Beam, both of Juan's Pokémon attacked from below with Sealeo using Aurora Beam on Pikachu's platform, which he was able to dodge. Seaking attacked Corphish with {{m|Horn Attack}}, but Corphish was able to grab its horn. Seaking, however, used Horn Drill, sending Corphish flying. Ash then had Pikachu use Iron Tail on Seaking. Despite Sealeo trying to stop Pikachu using Aurora Beam, Pikachu was able to defeat Seaking as well as avoid the attack in time. Pikachu then rode on Corphish's back, heading towards Sealeo. Sealeo tried stopping them using {{m|Ice Ball}}, which got stronger with each attack. While Pikachu and Corphish managed to destroy the first three Ice Balls, the fourth one managed to hit them both. Sealeo then launched a fifth Ice Ball at them both. Pikachu launched a Thunder at the Ice Ball and after increasing its power, he was able to break it. While the falling ice shards were hurting Sealeo, Corphish was able to defeat it with its {{m|Crabhammer}}, knocking it out and ending the first round of the Sootopolis Gym battle in Ash's favor. Both Pokémon were then recalled. | Ash then sent out his Corphish.

In the [[AG111|next episode]], Pikachu was used as Ash's last Pokémon in the second round of the Sootopolis Gym battle, going up against Juan's last and strongest Pokémon, his {{p|Milotic}}. Ash had Pikachu use Thunder and although it dealt a lot of damage, Milotic nullified the damage by using Recover. Both Pokémon then used Iron Tail, in which Milotic's overpowered Pikachu's. Milotic quickly followed up with Twister, which was powered up by the water. Much to Juan's surprise, Pikachu was able to break through with Thunder and followed with up with a powerful Quick Attack. Milotic then used Hydro Pump, which Pikachu dodged and used a super-effective Thunderbolt. Milotic, however, shook the attack off and used Recover, healing itself once again. Milotic then went underwater, making both Ash and Pikachu unable to see it. Milotic then tried hitting Pikachu with Iron Tail, but he dodged it and climbed onto Milotic's body. Milotic tried stopping him using Hydro Pump, but he dodged the attack. Pikachu then grabbed onto its eyebrows and flipped the Tender Pokémon into the water. While underwater, Pikachu used Thunder, dealing major damage to Milotic as water was an excellent conductor of electricity. This knocked out Milotic, winning Ash the battle and earning him the {{badge|Rain}}. | In the [[AG111|next episode]], Pikachu was used as Ash's last Pokémon in the second round of the Sootopolis Gym battle, going up against Juan's last and strongest Pokémon, his {{p|Milotic}}.

In ''[[XY002|Lumiose City Pursuit!]]'', Ash and Pikachu managed to get Froakie to Professor Sycamore so that he could be healed. When Professor Sycamore's {{p|Garchomp}} went crazy from one of Team Rocket's devices, Pikachu and Ash pursued her to get the device off and free her. After chasing her to the top of Prism Tower, Pikachu removed the device from Garchomp's neck with Iron Tail. However, due to the fight damaging the tower, the ground Pikachu was standing on broke off, causing him to fall off with Ash immediately leaping in to save his best friend, to the shock of many including {{an|Serena}}. They were both saved by a {{me|Blaziken}}, who intercepted them in the air and put the two safely back onto the ground. | In ''[[XY002|Lumiose City Pursuit!]]'', Ash and Pikachu managed to get Froakie to Professor Sycamore so that he could be healed.

In ''[[XY005|A Blustery Santalune Gym Battle!]]'', Pikachu was the first Pokémon Ash used during his [[Santalune Gym]] battle with [[Viola]], sending him out to face her {{p|Surskit}}. Despite the type-advantage, Surskit proved to be a tough opponenent, using its speedy movements to dodge Pikachu's attacks. Pikachu's Quick Attack was blocked by Protect and his Iron Tail was dodged. After blocking Pikachu's Electro Ball with Ice Beam, it used Ice Beam on the field, freezing it. | In ''[[XY005|A Blustery Santalune Gym Battle!]]'', Pikachu was the first Pokémon Ash used during his [[Santalune Gym]] battle with [[Viola]], sending him out to face her {{p|Surskit}}.

After blocking Pikachu's Electro Ball with Ice Beam, it used Ice Beam on the field, freezing it. While Pikachu slipped on the ice, Surskit was able to skate on it. Although Pikachu did get a successful hit with Iron Tail, his Thunderbolt was overpowered by Ice Beam and he was then knocked out by {{m|Signal Beam}}. After he was healed at the Pokémon Center, he trained with {{AP|Fletchling}} for their rematch by using Alexa's {{p|Noivern}}'s {{m|Gust}} to help them withstand {{p|Vivillon}}'s Gust, who beat Fletchling in the first battle. | ||
In ''[[XY006|Battling on Thin Ice!]]'', continuing his training along with Fletchling, they were able to withstand Noivern's Gust well. Later, using one of Clemont's inventions, they practiced to avoid Surskit's {{m|Sticky Web}}. After it broke, they used Froakie and its Frubbles instead to practice. The next day, Pikachu was Ash's first Pokémon for his Gym Battle rematch against Viola, where he again went up against her Surskit. Using his training he was able to dodge Sticky Web, and after having his Thunderbolt blocked by Surskit's Protect and dodging its Signal Beam, he was able to hit Surskit with Iron Tail. Afterwards, Pikachu tried to stop Surskit from using Ice Beam on the field by climbing on it and using Thunderbolt, but Surskit was able to shake him off and managed to create the ice field as well as freezing the area. This time, however, using his tail, Pikachu was able to stabilize himself on the ice field. His Thunderbolt then overpowered Surskit's Signal Beam, defeating the Pond Skater Pokémon. Ash recalled Pikachu and substituted him for Fletchling. He was later called out again to battle Vivillon, who had beaten Fletchling. Vivillon attacked with Gust, but as Pikachu was still damaged from battling Surskit, he wasn't able to withstand attack. As Vivillon went for another Gust, Ash had Pikachu use Iron Tail to anchor himself to the ice field to withstand the attack. Vivillon then used Solar Beam, which was countered with Thunderbolt. In his current position, however, Pikachu was left vulnerable to Vivillon's {{m|Sleep Powder}} and got hit. While he was struggling to stay awake, Vivillon charged its Solar Beam. Thinking back to their training, Ash had Pikachu use Electro Ball on himself to repel Sleep Powder, thus keeping him awake. Vivillon then launched the Solar Beam, but Pikachu was able to overpower it with Electro Ball, causing Vivillon to crash into the lamps which were frozen by Surskit's Ice Beam misfire, freezing its wing. This allowed Pikachu to defeat the Scale Pokémon with Thunderbolt, earning Ash the {{badge|Bug}}. | In ''[[XY006|Battling on Thin Ice!]]'', continuing his training along with Fletchling, they were able to withstand Noivern's Gust well.
