Ash's Pikachu: Difference between revisions

In ''[[BW107|Cameron's Secret Weapon!]]'', Ash used Pikachu against {{un|Cameron}}'s {{p|Samurott}}. Samurott blocked Pikachu's Thunderbolt with {{m|Razor Shell}}. Pikachu then went for Quick Attack, but he was overwhelmed by Samurott's Razor Shell and was then hit by a powerful Hydro Cannon. Pikachu then dodged a Megahorn and used Quick Attack. He managed to dodge Razor Shell and hit Samurott hard with Quick Attack, followed up by a powerful Iron Tail. Samurott then blocked an Electro Ball with Razor Shell, but Pikachu immediately followed up with Iron Tail, defeating the Formidable Pokémon. Pikachu stayed in to battle Cameron's Swanna. Swanna started off using a series of {{m|Pluck}} attacks, which were all dodged by Pikachu. Pikachu then used Quick Attack, but Swanna avoided the attack and struck him with Wing Attack. Swanna then went for Bubble Beam, but this was dodged by Pikachu. Swanna then dove towards Pikachu using Wing Attack, but he dodged again and launched a super-effective Electro Ball at the White Bird Pokémon, knocking it out. Pikachu was then recalled. [[BW108|Later during the battle]], Ash sent Pikachu out to face Cameron's newly evolved {{TP|Cameron|Lucario}}, which had just defeated {{AP|Snivy}}, leaving him as Ash's last Pokémon. Pikachu started off by repeatedly using Quick attack, each time scoring a direct hit. He then tried to finish Lucario off with Iron Tail, but Lucario quickly dodged. Lucario then jumped towards Pikachu and hit him hard with {{m|Force Palm}}. Pikachu's Electro Ball then collided with Lucario's {{m|Aura Sphere}}, blowing both Pokémon back. Pikachu then managed to avoid Force Palm, but Lucario chased after him and threw him in the air using {{m|Circle Throw}}. Pikachu, however, managed to land on his feet and struck Lucario with a powerful Thunderbolt, followed up by a Quick Attack. He then went for Iron Tail, but Lucario used {{m|Copycat}} to counter his attack, causing a big explosion. Despite the large amount of damage both Pokémon had taken, they still managed to stand up. At the end of the climactic fight, Pikachu and Lucario fired blasts of Electro Ball and Aura Sphere. Aura Sphere, however, overpowered Electro Ball, knocking Pikachu out, and thus eliminating Ash from the Vertress Conference, placing him in Top 8.

In ''[[BW112|Team Plasma's Pokémon Power Plot]]'', Pikachu battled wild Pokémon, controlled by [[Colress]], trying to free them and stop [[Team Plasma]]. Impressed by Pikachu's power, Colress managed to gain control over Pikachu by attaching a receiver to his head and ordered him to attack Ash and the group. As Colress was increasing the power of the EM waves, Ash begged Pikachu to fight the control. Fighting against the control, the receiver overloaded and got destroyed, freeing Pikachu from Team Plasma's control.

In ''[[BW121|Team Plasma and the Awakening Ceremony!]]'', Pikachu along with Ash's other Pokémon fought against Team Plasma's Pokémon in order to prevent them from awakening {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Reshiram}}. Colress, however, then activated his improved mind-control machine and managed to hit Pikachu with the machine's laser, controlling him again. This time however, Ash's voice didn't get through to Pikachu's control and he was knocked unconscious by Pikachu's Thunderbolt. {{an|N}} then offered to give Team Plasma the [[Light Stone]] in exchange for them freeing Pikachu from their control, to which they agreed. In [[BW122|the next episode]], Pikachu tried to destroy Colress's machine to free Reshiram and all the other Pokémon from [[Ghetsis]]'s control. However, he was ultimately hit by the laser, which put him under control once again. To everyone's surprise, Pikachu managed to resist the machine's influence, using his own electricity to fight off Ghetsis's control, and used Thunderbolt on Reshiram in an attempt to help it escape from Ghetsis's control as well. Despite Colress increasing the machine's power, Pikachu kept resisting and together with Reshiram destroyed the machine with Electro Ball and {{m|Fusion Flare}}, freeing all Pokémon from Team Plasma's control, thus defeating the team.
