Bulbasaur joined Ash in Johto, where it first met {{AP|Heracross}} in ''[[EP119|A Sappy Ending]]''. This began the recurring joke of Heracross wanting to suck the pollen from Bulbasaur's bulb. Throughout the Johto journeys, Bulbasaur's oldest team members {{AP|Charizard}} and {{AP|Squirtle}} both went into training with others, leaving Bulbasaur as Ash's only remaining Kanto starter. In ''[[EP126|The Chikorita Rescue]]'', Bulbasaur was used to battle against a {{p|Chikorita}} that Ash had interest in catching. It was recalled after being hurt by the small Grass-type Pokémon and was congratulated by Ash for its effort. Bulbasaur was used in ''[[EP136|Chikorita's Big Upset]]'', where Ash ordered it to find Chikorita. It would again be irritated by Heracross, who after getting deployed by Ash against Team Rocket, wasted no time in trying to suck the pollen out of Bulbasaur's bulb. Bulbasaur scolded it's teammate and hit Heracross with it's vines. | Bulbasaur joined Ash in Johto, where it first met {{AP|Heracross}} in ''[[EP119|A Sappy Ending]]''.

It bid a solemn farewell to Squirtle in ''[[EP147|The Fire-ing Squad!]]''. Bulbasaur fought for Ash against Misty for the second time in ''[[EP151|The Totodile Duel]]''.

It seemingly defeated {{TP|Misty|Poliwag}} with a Razor Leaf, but Poliwag evolved into {{p|Poliwhirl}} and fought back with a powerful {{m|Body Slam}}. After taking damage from Bubble, Bulbasaur flattened Poliwhirl with Solar Beam, winning the match for Ash. It also had a rematch with {{an|Aya}} in ''[[EP176|Ariados, Amigos!]]'', using {{m|Tackle}} to defeat Venonat from above. In ''[[EP178|The Grass Route]]'', Bulbasaur was entered in the 45th annual [[Grass Tournament]], reaching the finals after Team Rocket was disqualified for dressing {{MTR}} up as a {{p|Sunflora}}. Bulbasaur looked set to win the final, but [[Ephraim]]'s {{p|Skiploom}} learned Solar Beam and won the tournament. | ||
In ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown]]'', he was defeated by {{mov|Lisa}}'s Butterfree's Sleep Powder, despite having been able to resist Ash's Butterfree using the same tactic in its debut. It helped Ash and his friends break into the mansion by using its vines as ropes for climbing. | In ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown]]'', he was defeated by {{mov|Lisa}}'s Butterfree's Sleep Powder, despite having been able to resist Ash's Butterfree using the same tactic in its debut.

Bulbasaur remained with Ash until ''[[EP225|Bulbasaur... the Ambassador!]]'', when it was sent back to {{an|Professor Oak}}'s lab to keep the Pokémon there from quarreling with each other. It proved to be a natural leader, first solving the territorial disputes between the warring {{p|Bellossom}} and {{p|Jumpluff}} factions, and the {{type|Grass}} and {{type|Water}} Pokémon by ordering and leading the construction of a new lake. It came very close to peril when it saved an Oddish from an enormous falling boulder, but revealed that it had learned {{m|Dig}} just in time to save itself. Oak remarked to {{Tracey}} that Bulbasaur was a perfect example of a Pokémon being able to call on powers unheard of in extreme situations. After resolving this dispute, Ash and Oak agreed to allow Bulbasaur to reside at Oak's lab for an indefinite period, finally rotating it out of his team. | Bulbasaur remained with Ash until ''[[EP225|Bulbasaur... the Ambassador!]]'', when it was sent back to {{an|Professor Oak}}'s lab to keep the Pokémon there from quarreling with each other.

It was called on in ''[[EP268|Tie One On!]]'', where it fought in the [[Silver Conference]] against [[Jackson]]'s {{Shiny}} {{p|Magneton}}. It quickly learned from Pikachu and {{AP|Cyndaquil}}'s mistakes, instead using a spinning Vine Whip to mow through the afterimages from Double Team. It blocked Magneton's attacks with Razor Leaf and Vine Whip, before taking it down with Leech Seed and Vine Whip. It then took on his {{TP|Vincent|Meganium}}, with whom it had a bitter rivalry after the Herb Pokémon had mocked it earlier. Neither Pokémon attempted to dodge the other's attacks, both willing to be able to take as much as the other.
