In ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'', Ash managed to get to the Viridian City [[Pokémon Center]] just in time with the help of [[Officer Jenny]], who scolded Ash for "mistreating" Pikachu. [[Nurse Joy]] agreed to heal Pikachu, and thanks to her, Pikachu managed to regain his health. At the end of the episode, Pikachu had regained enough of his strength to send {{TRT}} blasting off for the very first time. | In ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'', Ash managed to get to the Viridian City [[Pokémon Center]] just in time with the help of [[Officer Jenny]], who scolded Ash for "mistreating" Pikachu.

Pikachu participated in Ash's first Gym battle with {{an|Brock}} in ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]''. He faced {{TP|Brock|Onix}}, but his {{type|Electric}} attacks were ineffective. Onix then started {{m|bind}}ing Pikachu. Seeing no other option, Ash forfeited. Ash and Pikachu later trained with {{ka|Flint}} in order to increase the strength of Pikachu's Electric-type moves. Ash later challenged Brock to a [[rematch]], where Pikachu managed to defeat [[Brock's Geodude]] thanks to his training. Pikachu then faced Onix again, who was able to Bind Pikachu once again, but this time Pikachu's Electric-type attacks dealt quite some damage. However, despite their training, Pikachu was still unable to defeat Onix, who was tightening its grip on Pikachu.

As Ash was about let Pikachu finish Onix off, he was stopped by [[Brock's siblings]] and he decided to forfeit again. Despite Ash forfeiting the match, Brock still gave him the {{badge|Boulder}}. | ||

In ''[[SM043|When Regions Collide!]]'', Ash used Pikachu in his battle against Misty in which he battled her {{TP|Misty|Gyarados}}. The two started with a collision of Hydro Pump and Thunderbolt. Pikachu then rushed towards Gyarados and scored a direct hit with Quick Attack, sending Gyarados flying. Pikachu then started charging up Electro Ball as Gyarados used {{m|Rain Dance}}, confusing everyone. Ash told Pikachu to ignore the rain and attack. Gyarados, however, countered with a Rain Dance powered Hurricane, which destroyed the Electro Ball and sent Pikachu flying. Deciding it was time to get serious, Misty revealed her [[Key Stone]] and Mega Evolved Gyarados into Mega Gyarados. Gyarados launched a Hydro Pump that destroyed the rock Pikachu was standing on and sent him flying into the water. Not letting up, Gyarados tried to attack Pikachu with Crunch, but was struck by Iron Tail after Pikachu managed to climb onto its body. Gyarados then dove underwater and used Hurricane, creating a cyclone of water around Pikachu. Ash told Pikachu to use Thunderbolt to break it, but failed. Ash soon came up with the idea to have Pikachu run on Thunderbolt's electricity with Quick Attack, allowing Pikachu to escape from the cyclone. The two then preformed their Z-Move, Gigavolt Havoc, which hit Gyarados head on, defeating it and giving Ash the win. | In ''[[SM043|When Regions Collide!]]'', Ash used Pikachu in his battle against Misty in which he battled her {{TP|Misty|Gyarados}}.

During Ash and his classmates' travels in [[Ultra Deep Sea]] to rescue [[Lusamine]] in ''[[SM054|10,000,000 Reasons to Fight!]]'', Pikachu fought Lusamine, who had been fused with a {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Nihilego}}. Eventually, Pikachu and Ash prepared to perform Gigavolt Havoc, until Ash's Electrium Z mysteriously turned into a [[Pikashunium Z]]. This allowed the two to perform {{m|10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt}} for the first time; the Z-Move defeated Nihilego, weakening it enough for Lillie and Gladion to pull Lusamine free from its hold. | During Ash and his classmates' travels in [[Ultra Deep Sea]] to rescue [[Lusamine]] in ''[[SM054|10,000,000 Reasons to Fight!]]'', Pikachu fought Lusamine, who had been fused with a {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Nihilego}}.

In [[SM076]], Ash used Pikachu in his trial battle at the {{OBP|Thrifty Megamart|Abandoned Site}}, where he battled Team Rocket and {{TP|Jessie|Mimikyu}}. Pikachu was quickly overwhelmed by Mimikyu's barrage of attacks, eventually leaving him open for Mimikyu's Z-Move, {{m|Let's Snuggle Forever}}. However, Pikachu was able to survive the attack by protecting itself with his newly learned {{m|Electroweb}}. Using his new move, Pikachu was also able to trap Mimikyu, which allowed him and Ash to perform a Z-Move of their own. Ash's Electrium Z then turned into a Pikashunium Z again, allowing Pikachu to use 10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt once more and defeat Mimikyu. This allowed Ash to qualify for a chance to challenge [[Nanu]]'s grand trial. | In [[SM076]], Ash used Pikachu in his trial battle at the {{OBP|Thrifty Megamart|Abandoned Site}}, where he battled Team Rocket and {{TP|Jessie|Mimikyu}}.
