In the battle, both sides started of with ThunderShock but Raichu's turned out to be powerful, which weakened Pikachu drastically. Raichu then easily defeated Pikachu with a combination of Mega Punch and Mega Kick. 

Ash returned to the Gym for a rematch after Pikachu was healed. He ignored Lt. Surge's advice on evolving Pikachu into a Raichu. In the rematch, Raichu was able to hit Pikachu with Body Slam but Pikachu was able to use two new attacks, {{m|Agility}} and {{m|Quick Attack}}, which were both learned before the rematch, before being finished off. As Raichu evolved too fast, it never learned any speedy attacks. Pikachu took advantage of this by using his speedy attacks to confuse Raichu. Lt. Surge decided to cancel them by having Raichu use Thunderbolt on the field. However, Pikachu dodged it by using his tail. When Raichu was about to use Thunderbolt again, it ran out of electricity which gave Pikachu the upper hand. Pikachu finished Raichu off with his tail attack before Raichu made full contact with Take Down. As Ash eventually defeated Lt. Surge in a rematch, it proved to him that evolved Pokémon are not always better. 

Raichu was seen again in a flashback in ''[[EP039|Pikachu's Goodbye]]'' when Ash was recalling the fun times he had with Pikachu, and in another one in ''[[EP073|Bad to the Bone]]'', where Raichu was defeated in a Gym battle by [[Otoshi]]'s {{p|Marowak}}.

 

Both Raichu and Lt. Surge reappeared in ''[[DP074|Pika and Goliath!]]'' in a flashback.

Lt. Surge's Raichu debuted in the ''[[Pokémon Adventures]]'' manga during the round ''[[PS029|Go for the Golbat]]'' during Surge's battle with {{Adv|Red}}. However, it wasn't seen battling until the {{chap|Gold, Silver & Crystal}} round ''[[PS139|Raising Raichu]]'', where Surge used it to battle against the [[Masked Man]]. Later, when Surge encountered the {{status|freeze|frozen}} [[Red Gyarados]] at the [[Lake of Rage]], he used Raichu to power up his submarine's underwater laser. However, as the thawed {{p|Gyarados}} wasn't willing to fight him, but instead trying to break another block of ice at the bottom of the lake, Surge ended up using the laser on the ice block, which turned out to contain some of the gears of {{adv|Gold}} and {{adv|Silver}}, who had previously fought the Masked Man at the lake.
