In ''[[SM021|One Journey Ends, Another Begins...]]'', Litten stole a doughnut Ash dropped and was chased back to its home by him. Ash witnessed how Stoutland helped it learn {{m|Fire Fang}}, but Litten was unsuccessful to master the move. Later on, Litten ran up to Ash, desperate for help with a collapsed Stoutland. After escaping Team Rocket, Ash was brought to its home and carried Stoutland to the Pokémon Center. Litten ran into the emergency room to be its friend while [[Nurse Joy]] informed Ash of Stoutland's condition. When Ash returned to the center the next day to check on Litten and Stoutland, he was shocked to see they had left. At its home, Litten practiced its Fire Fang again, but failed once more. Displeased with having the same results as its previous attempt, Litten curled up into Stoutland and fell asleep, proceeding to have a dream where it chased after Stoutland and was unable to catch up. Litten soon woke up alone and immediately flew into panic again, searching over various parts of Melemele Island for Stoutland.

====With Ash====

In ''[[SM063|Pushing the Fiery Envelope!]]'', while Ash was watching a [[Battle Royal]] on TV, Litten became agitated when it saw the Masked Royal's {{TP|Professor Kukui|Incineroar}}. When Ash and {{ashcl}} later went to visit the [[Battle Royal Dome]] during a special event where anyone could volunteer to face the Masked Royal in a Battle Royal, Litten jumped down from the stands to the arena, prompting Ash to take part in the Battle Royal, joined by {{an|Kiawe}} and {{an|Sophocles}}. Although [[Kiawe's Marowak]] and [[Sophocles's Charjabug]] were soon defeated by Incineroar's {{m|Darkest Lariat}}, Litten managed to survive the attack. However, Litten's counterattack with Fire Fang was stopped cold by Incineroar, who then proceeded to defeat Litten with a {{m|Bulk Up}}-enhanced {{m|Throat Chop}}. This defeat later inspired Ash to teach Litten {{m|Flame Charge}}. Some days later, in the middle of Litten's training, the Masked Royal showed up and challenged Ash to a one-on-one battle. Litten, still not having completely mastered Flame Charge, was struggling throughout the battle. However, thanks to Ash's determination, Litten was able to evolve into a {{p|Torracat}}, perfecting Flame Charge in the process. Although the evolution and the {{stat|Speed}} increase from Flame Charge gave Torracat more edge in the battle, to the point where it even managed to damage Incineroar a bit, it was still eventually defeated by its evolved form. Afterwards, the Masked Royal declared that he and Incineroar were now Torracat's rivals.

In ''[[SM081|A Young Royal Flame Ignites!]]'', Ash and Torracat were present at the Battle Royal Dome to watch a Battle Royal between the Masked Royal and [[Mad Magmar]]. Seeing the [[Revengers]] play dirty to distract Incineroar, Ash and Torracat entered the battle and joined the Masked Royal and Incineroar in a tag team battle against Mad Magmar's {{p|Magmortar}} and [[Mr. Electric]]'s {{p|Electivire}}. Despite the interference of the Revengers, Ash and the Masked Royal were eventually able to win the battle after Torracat learned {{m|Revenge}} which it used to knock out its opponents. Torracat and Incineroar later went up against [[Viren]]'s {{p|Pangoro}} and were able to quickly defeat it using Flame Charge and Darkest Lariat, respectively.

In ''[[SM125|A Timeless Encounter!]]'', Torracat and Ash were sent to the past after accidentally startling a {{p|Celebi}} while training. There, they encountered and befriended a younger version of Kukui and his Incineroar, then a Litten. By borrowing Kukui's [[Firium Z]], Ash and Torracat performed {{m|Inferno Overdrive}} for the first time. Later, Ash received a Firium Z of his own by helping out a Totem {{p|Trevenant}} before Celebi returned him and Torracat back to the present day.

In [[SM136]], Ash used Torracat in his [[Manalo Conference]] battle against [[Guzma]], where it went up against {{p|Scizor}}. Guzma quickly recalled Scizor with {{m|U-turn}} in favor of {{p|Golisopod}}, putting Torracat at a disadvantage. However, Torracat still managed to deal a good amount of damage on Golisopod. Then, just when it used Fire Blast, Golisopod used its {{a|Emergency Exit}} [[Ability]] to swap places with Scizor against Guzma's will, resulting in Scizor taking the hit instead. Being doubly weak against {{type|Fire}} moves, Scizor was instantly defeated. Afterwards, a disapproving Guzma sent Golisopod back out again to continue battling Torracat. The battle continued in the [[SM137|next episode]], where Torracat wound up getting {{status|poison}}ed by Golisopod's {{m|Poison Jab}}. This, combined with its exhaustion, led to its defeat soon after.

In [[SM142]], Ash chose to use Torracat against Kukui's {{p|Venusaur}} after it had defeated Rowlet. Having gotten the flames of Blast Burn under its control, Torracat quickly overwhelmed Venusaur and used a powered-up Fire Blast to take it out of the fight. Ash then recalled Torracat again, saving it for the final confrontation with Incineroar.
