In ''[[XY130|Finals Not for the Faint-Hearted!]]'', Pikachu was used as Ash's first Pokémon in his battle against [[Alain]] during the Lumiose Conference finals. He went up against Alain's {{p|Tyranitar}} and defeated it. Pikachu was then recalled but later used again to battle and defeat Alain's Metagross. Afterwards, Pikachu battled Alain's strongest Pokémon, {{TP|Alain|Charizard}}. [[XY131|However]], Pikachu was too exhausted to outmaneuver Charizard by that point, thus he was overpowered and knocked out.

In [[JN030]], Pikachu gets jealous when Ash pays more attention to {{AP|Riolu}} instead of him, which greatly upsets him. When Delia comes to visit, Pikachu sleeps with her for the night and wakes up that next morning in time to see her off. However, when Ash and Riolu were going do some training, Pikachu finally had enough of being nucleated from his Trainer and decided to go back to Pallet Town with Mimey not far behind him. Despite Mimey attempts to talk some sense into him, Pikachu is set on going to Pallet Town to be with Delia and it decided to accompany him. During their journey, Pikachu defended Mimey from a group of Spearow, which happen the day he and Ash first met. After arriving in Pallet Town, Pikachu decided to go back to Ash in Vermillion City as he realized that he made a mistake of leaving his best friend. However, Pikachu became surprised that Ash was already in their hometown and made amends for thier actions.

As shown in a handful of episodes, the first being ''[[EP042|Showdown at Dark City]]'', Pikachu has a special fondness for ketchup, but he will eat and enjoy almost any other human or Pokémon food. In ''[[BW116|The Fires Of A Red-Hot Reunion]]'', Pikachu also displayed a fondness for orange juice. In ''[[SM104|That's Some Spicy Island Research!]]'', Pikachu was revealed to have a distaste for [[Poni Island]] radishes. A running joke in the anime also seems to be Pikachu using Thunderbolt at the beginning of each series to accidentally destroy a female companion's bike or unintentionally shock the companion herself. This has happened to {{an|Misty}}, {{an|May}}, {{an|Dawn}}, {{an|Iris}}, and {{an|Bonnie}}.

Pikachu, like his Trainer, is always happy to battle. He often tries his very best, but when he loses, he doesn't complain or feel bad about himself, especially when Ash reassures him. Although, Pikachu at times get so eager to battle that he believes that he was gonna be sent out first until Ash apologizes and tells him that he isn't going first or he wants to give his teammates a turn. Ash and Pikachu are almost identical personality-wise, and thus are the perfect match for one another. Most others agree, except for [[Burgundy]], who in ''[[BW019|A Connoisseur's Revenge!]]'' said that Ash had a terrible relationship with all of his Pokémon, though this is more due to her inexperience in determining such relationships. Though rare, the two can still butt heads at times. When they first met, Pikachu would shock Ash with electricity out of vitriol. While being zapped by Pikachu still happens regularly for poor Ash, it's usually when he angers his buddy (such as when Ash rubs and pulls Pikachu's cheeks), or by accident (when Ash grabs Pikachu's tail by mistake).
