He appeared in ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'', ''[[M21|The Power of Us]]'', and ''[[M23|Secrets of the Jungle]]'', [[Pokémon movie]]s set in a different continuity from the main series. Despite having largely the same personality as the {{AP|Pikachu}} of the main series and starting out his {{pkmn|journey}} with Ash in a similar way, the rest of Pikachu's story developed in quite a different way. | ||

Professor Oak revealed there was still one Pokémon left to give away. This turned out to be Pikachu, who acted very stubborn and showed no particular interest in Ash. Despite this, Ash chose Pikachu to be his partner, and together, they set out on their journey. | ||
Pikachu initially gave the inexperienced Trainer a hard time, refusing to listen to his commands. It was not until Ash accidentally angered a flock of {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Spearow}} and Ash protected Pikachu from them that they started to bond. After this, they encountered {{an|Ho-Oh}} and Ash vowed to encounter Ho-Oh again someday with Pikachu. Pikachu would subsequently become a trusted partner for Ash, helping him catch a {{AP|Caterpie}} and win Badges. Ash and Pikachu eventually met two other Trainers, named [[Verity]] and [[Sorrel]], and found another friend in an abandoned {{AP|Charmander}}. | Pikachu initially gave the inexperienced Trainer a hard time, refusing to listen to his commands.

Luckily, a mysterious Pokémon called {{OBP|Marshadow|M20}} helped Ash see the error in his new ways by pulling him into a dream where Pikachu was completely absent. Ash apologized to Pikachu and they continued their journey towards the [[Mt. Tensei|Raizen Mountains]] to see Ho-Oh again. | ||

Atop the Raizen Mountains at [[Mount Tensei]], Ash's [[Rainbow Wing]] became corrupted when Cross appeared and placed it on Rainbow Rock with his evil heart. Marshadow, in turn, became corrupted by the Rainbow Wing and managed to possess a group of nearby Pokémon. Ash used Pikachu to battle against Marshadow, but the Gloomdweller Pokémon proved to be too powerful and it eventually won, but not without exhausting itself in the process. Ash grabbed the injured Pikachu to keep out of harm from Marshadow's army, only for the two to run into a dead end. | Atop the Raizen Mountains at [[Mount Tensei]], Ash's [[Rainbow Feather|Rainbow Wing]] became corrupted when Cross appeared and placed it on Rainbow Rock with his evil heart.

When Ash attempted to get Pikachu to return to his {{i|Poké Ball}} for safety, he refused. Pikachu, appearing to {{pkmn2|talking|speak}}, revealed to Ash that he wished to stay by his side forever. Mirroring the start of their journey, Ash tried to protect Pikachu by standing in the way of the attacks. He eventually managed to recall Pikachu into his Poké Ball. Taking the full blast, Ash's body started to disappear, with only his consciousness surviving in a spirit world. Pikachu took hold of [[Ash's hat]] and started to cry, with the corrupted Rainbow Wing withering away while launching a massive {{m|Thunderbolt}} around the pinnacle, freeing Marshadow and the other Pokémon he hit from the corrupted wing's control. | |||
Ash could hear Pikachu's cries in the spirit world and ran towards his voice. This caused his body to regenerate in the real world. Noticing this, Pikachu ran towards Ash and reunited with him, fully reviving him. After placing a new Rainbow Wing atop Rainbow Rock with his pure heart, Ho-Oh finally appeared. Ash and Pikachu had a fierce battle with Ho-Oh until the sun set. | Ash could hear Pikachu's cries in the spirit world and ran towards his voice. This caused his body to regenerate in the real world.

He was later used to recharge the sprinkler system, which was later used to extinguish the fire caused by {{TRT}} dropping a sample of {{a|Effect Spore}} solution. | ||

Much like the {{AP|Pikachu}} of the main series, Pikachu was initially difficult and uninterested in Ash during the start of their journey, but became extremely loyal to him after he protected him from a flock of Spearow. He also took on Ash's interest and enthusiasm in battling. In addition, the two had a very close bond, to the point where Pikachu issued a massive {{m|Thunderbolt}} in outrage at Ash's death, and then started to cry. | Much like the {{AP|Pikachu}} of the main series, Pikachu was initially difficult and uninterested in Ash during the start of their journey, but he became extremely loyal to him after he protected him from a flock of Spearow.

Following the six cap-wearing {{pkmn2|event}} Pikachu distributed in celebration of both the [[M20|twentieth Pokémon movie]] and the 20th anniversary of the Pokémon anime (all of which were based on Ash’s Pikachu from the main anime), a seventh Cap Pikachu, based on this Pikachu and wearing the hat Ash wears in the twentieth movie, debuted in [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]]. Like his predecessors, this Pikachu is always [[Gender|male]] and cannot evolve. His moveset is identical to the one he had in the movie in which he appeared, and his level corrusponds to the number of said movie.

Pikachu appeared in [[ICYR1]], where he took on an [[island challenge|island trial]] on [[Poni Island]] with Ash. During the trial, they encountered a {{pkmn2|Totem}} {{p|Kommo-o}} and battled it. In the middle of the battle, Ash had a flashback of the day that he met Pikachu. | |||
During the flashback, Ash ran to [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] as he was late in getting his first Pokémon. Since three of the Pokémon Professor Oak provided weren't available, Ash had to choose Pikachu in which they got off on a rocky start. During their travels, Ash accidentally angered a {{AP|Spearow|Fearow}} when he accidentally threw a rock at it. This caused a flock of {{p|Spearow}} to chase after the two. With Ash's determination, Pikachu was able to save Ash by defeating the Spearow flock. With that done, Ash and Pikachu saw {{an|Ho-Oh}} flying by them. | |||
Back in the present, Ash still had to deal with Kommo-o. After Ash remembered the day that he met Pikachu, he was able to defeat Kommo-o with Pikachu using {{m|10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt}}. | |||
