It reappeared around the end of ''[[EP219|Hi Ho Silver... Away!]]'' while Ash and {{ashfr}} were on their way to see {{p|Lugia|a mysterious Pokémon}}. During ''[[EP221|A Parent Trapped!]]'', Team Rocket set up a trap that would capture the parent Lugia by using {{jo|Silver}} as bait. The gang knew about this and Ritchie had Sparky try to stop the parent Lugia from getting to the child so it wouldn't get captured. [[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]] wouldn't allow that and used a device that powered their Pokémon, making them more powerful. Sparky wasn't successful in stopping the parent and the parent got captured by Team Rocket.

In the [[EP222|next episode]], [[Dr. Namba]] chose Sparky and Ash's Pikachu as test subjects for the device the duo used earlier on their Pokémon. Before Dr. Namba got to try it out, {{jo|Oliver}} came in and rescued Ash, Ritchie and the gang. However, Dr. Namba tripped the alarm which summoned Butch and Cassidy. The duo had a rematch with Sparky and Pikachu using their {{p|Hitmontop}} and {{p|Houndour}} respectively. Both Pikachu aimed their Thunderbolts at the machine powering up the Pokémon, destroying it. Both Hitmontop and Houndour were rendered useless without the machine and were taken out by Sparky and Pikachu. After Team Rocket was defeated, Sparky went up against Dr. Namba's {{p|Electabuzz}} and had trouble with it. However, Sparky destroyed the machine Dr. Namba was using and Ash's Pikachu defeated Electabuzz.

Prior to meeting {{Ash}}, Ritchie had always kept Sparky in its {{i|Poké Ball}}, just like his other Pokémon, but in later episodes, Sparky has always been {{pkmn2|walking|outside of its Ball}}, just like [[Ash's Pikachu]]. Sparky has always been sort of like a friendly rival to Ash's Pikachu.

Sparky appears in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]], which is based on the anime. In [[VIZ Media]]'s English translation of the manga, it is named Chuchino instead of Sparky.
Sparky, renamed Chuchino in the [[VIZ Media]] translation, first appeared in ''[[ET12|Welcome to the Big Leagues]]'' when Ash mistook it for his {{AP|Pikachu|Pikachu (EToP)}}. In ''[[ET13|The Indigo Finals]]'', it fought Ash's Pikachu in the [[Indigo Plateau Conference]], exchanging similar attacks with it until both Pokémon were knocked out simultaneously.


Sparky first appears in ''[[ET12|Welcome to the Big Leagues]]'' when Ash has it mistaken for his Pikachu. Ash meets Ritchie when he found out the other Pikachu was actually his. Later, Ritchie wins his first match using only Sparky. In the fifth round of the Novice Tournament of the Pokémon, Sparky was sent out after his Butterfree was taken out by [[Ash's Squirtle]]. It went up against Ash's Pikachu and both Pokémon traded similar attacks to each other. Their last attack, Thunder, knocked out each other.
Sparky made a brief reappearance in ''[[ET18|Pikachu's Plan]]'' alongside Ritchie, watching Ash defeat {{OBP|Drake|Orange Islands}} on TV.
