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 its teammate and hit Heracross with its 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 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. | It bid a solemn farewell to Squirtle in ''[[EP147|The Fire-ing Squad!]]''.

In ''[[EP166|Two Hits and a Miss]]'', the Fighting Dojo Master [[Kenzo]] was impressed with Ash and Bulbasaur after Bulbasaur's swift defeat of a runaway Tauros, to the point that he contemplated making Ash his successor as master of the Dojo despite his current lack of Fighting Pokémon as Bulbasaur had all the skills of a Fighting-type. Bulbasaur was then used against [[Chigusa]]'s [[Hitmontop (Pokémon)|Hitmontop]] to determine whether Ash or Chigusa would be the successor, but Ash still rejected the offer and instead offered Chigusa some training pointers for the future.

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 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.
