Bulbasaur was a Pokémon Ash always wanted to catch, as explained in ''[[EP010|Bulbasaur and the Hidden Village]].'' When Misty tried to capture a wild {{p|Oddish}}, Bulbasaur rushed to Oddish's aid, easily defeating both {{TP|Misty|Starmie}} with {{m|Tackle}} and {{AP|Butterfree}} by blowing his own {{m|Sleep Powder}} back onto it. Later, it was revealed that Bulbasaur was raised in the [[Hidden Village]] by [[Melanie]], who cared for sick, injured, and abandoned Pokémon. It acted as the village's bodyguard, and was blatantly hostile to all Trainers, going so far as to physically attack Misty.

Later, {{TRT}} attacked the Village and attempted to steal all of the Pokémon with an enormous vacuum. Bulbasaur managed to save Oddish at the last second, and was touched when Ash dashed out to help him get to safety. It then used {{m|Vine Whip}} to deflect the vacuum and {{AP|Pidgeotto}} drove Team Rocket away. Melanie encouraged Bulbasaur to join Ash, explaining that its growth was being stunted by staying too long in the village. Bulbasaur agreed to join him once Ash defeated it in battle. Bulbasaur put up an excellent fight against Pikachu, using its vines to seize and smash Pikachu onto the ground repeatedly. However, a powerful {{m|Thunderbolt}} fried Bulbasaur and stunned it long enough for Ash to capture it.

It was first used in a battle to repel {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s aboard the St. Anne, joining a group of other Bulbasaur to use Vine Whip on the Grunts. Its vines were also used to help the gang and Team Rocket escape from the ship. In ''[[EP019|Tentacool & Tentacruel]]'', {{AP|Butterfree}} carried Bulbasaur into battle with the giant {{p|Tentacruel}}, but it was easily swatted aside by a giant tentacle.

Its Gym battle debut occurred in ''[[EP026|Pokémon Scent-sation!]]'', where it fought [[Erika]]'s {{p|Tangela}}. It attempted to use Vine Whip, but Tangela used {{m|Constrict}} to pull it in close and defeated it with {{m|Stun Spore}}. It then fought [[Koga]]'s sister, {{an|Aya}} in ''[[EP032|The Ninja Poké-Showdown]]'', defeating her {{p|Venonat}} by {{m|Whirlwind|blowing away}} Stun Spore and then striking it with a newly learned {{m|Leech Seed}}. In ''[[EP037|Ditto's Mysterious Mansion]]'', Bulbasaur was called out by Ash to defeat [[Duplica's Ditto]] by using {{m|Razor Leaf}}, however, it was defeated by Ditto after it transformed into Bulbasaur and used Vine Whip on Bulbasaur, knocking it out.

In ''[[EP050|Who Gets To Keep Togepi?]]'', it fought for Ash in the tournament to decide who gets to keep {{TP|Misty|Togepi}}, easily defeating Misty's unintentional entrant {{TP|Misty|Psyduck}} by licking and tickling it. However, the win meant nothing as Togepi chose Misty anyway.

[[File:Ash Bulbasaur fight evolution.png|220px|thumb|Ash's Bulbasaur resisting evolution]]
Bulbasaur had the opportunity to [[Evolution|evolve]] after battling a powerful {{p|Rhyhorn}} with a very strong {{m|Take Down}} attack in ''[[EP051|Bulbasaur's Mysterious Garden]]'', but refused to do so despite facing a mass of {{p|Ivysaur}} as well as a {{p|Venusaur}} who were angry at it for ruining the Bulbasaur evolutionary festival. This allowed it to learn the powerful {{m|SolarBeam}} technique earlier than if it had evolved.  It used the new attack on Team Rocket after they invaded the ceremony on their rocket balloon and freed the Ivysaur that had been captured by the villainous trio. After being told by its trainer that it had done great, Venusaur agreed with Ash and extended a vine to Bulbasaur as a gesture of respect. It would follow in the footsteps set by Venusaur and do the same before leaving the garden with Ash and the others, having made amends with the Ivysaur and Venusaur.

In ''[[EP052|Princess vs Princess]]'', Bulbasaur, along with {{AP|Pikachu}} and [[Brock's Vulpix]], was briefly lent to {{an|Misty}} to allow her to compete in the [[Princess Festival|Queen of the Princess Festival contest]] with a more balanced team, Bulbasaur single-handedly let Misty have her first win by defeating a {{p|Kingler}}, {{p|Pinsir}}, {{p|Cubone}} and {{p|Raticate}} on its own. It was called out in the final to battle [[Jessie]] on advice from Ash, but its ranged vines were tied by {{TP|Jessie|Lickitung}}'s huge tongue  and defeated with {{m|Lick}}.

In ''[[EP063|Battle for the Badge!]]'', Bulbasaur was sent out to fight Team Rocket, who were fighting in {{an|Giovanni}}'s stead in the Viridian Gym. Despite the type advantage, Bulbasaur was hit hard by {{p|Kingler}}, who blocked Vine Whip with {{m|Harden}} and then hit back with {{m|Bubble}}.

In ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', Bulbasaur was used to battle [[Raymond]]'s {{p|Donphan}}. It was hit by two successive {{m|Rollout}}s, but when launched into the air, it was able to flatten Donphan with SolarBeam. On [[New Island]], Bulbasaur and Squirtle attempted to resist capture by {{OBP|Mewtwo|original series}}, using its vines to keep the Balls at bay. Ash recalled both Pokémon to safety, but both were cloned when Bulbasaur's Ball was captured itself. Bulbasaur fought viciously against its clone, but was the underdog, its clone able to headbutt it over and over. It wept when Ash was petrified by Mewtwo and [[Mew (M01)|Mew]], its tears helping in his restoration.

It had only one battle in the [[Indigo League]], in ''[[EP077|The Fourth Round Rumble]]'' against [[Jeanette Fisher]]. After an initial trouble with {{p|Beedrill}}'s speed, Bulbasaur crippled the Poison Bee Pokémon with Leech Seed and then defeating it with Tackle. {{p|Scyther}}'s speed and {{m|Double Team}} produces similar trouble for Ash, until Bulbasaur uses Vine Whip to hit every single clone until it knocks out the real Scyther. Looking set to sweep the match with just Bulbasaur, Ash then took on her {{p|Bellsprout}}. Bulbasaur used Tackle, but Bellsprout flexed its body and absorbed the blow, before seizing Bulbasaur and slamming it onto the ground until it fainted.

In ''[[EP102|The Mystery Menace]]'', Bulbasaur was kidnapped by a giant vined creature in the sewers of [[Trovitopolis]]. Ash was so upset by this that Misty and Tracey had to both physically restrain him from diving into the water after it and then tie him up so that [[Officer Jenny]] could rescue them. Ash kicked and screamed the entire time. With help from {{AP|Muk}}, he rescued Bulbasaur and its captor, a mutated giant Bulbasaur that had been abandoned by the town's mayor.

In ''[[EP103|Misty Meets Her Match]]'', Bulbasaur is used in the {{type|Grass}} round of the Gym battle for the Spike Shell Badge. It fought against [[Rudy]]'s {{p|Exeggutor}}, who dodged {{m|Razor Leaf}} and knocked Bulbasaur down with {{m|Egg Bomb}}. Bulbasaur quickly saved the battle by putting Exeggutor to sleep with Sleep Powder. Bulbasaur was on Ash's team to fight {{OBP|Drake|Orange League}} for the Orange League championship in ''[[EP112|Enter the Dragonite]]''. It managed to land a few blows on Drake's {{p|Electabuzz}}, but was defeated by a {{m|ThunderPunch}}. Drake was eventually defeated and Bulbasaur joined the rest of the team in the Hall of Fame.

====Johto====
Bulbasaur joined Ash in Johto, where it first met {{AP|Heracross}} in ''[[EP119|A Sappy Ending]]''. This began the recurring joke of Heracross wanting to suck the pollen from Bulbasaur's bulb. Throughout the Johto journeys, Bulbasaur's oldest team members {{AP|Charizard}} and {{AP|Squirtle}} both went into training with others, leaving Bulbasaur as Ash's only remaining Kanto starter. In ''[[EP126|The Chikorita Rescue]]'', Bulbasaur was used to battle against a {{p|Chikorita}} that Ash had interest in catching. It was recalled after being hurt by the small Grass-type Pokémon and was congratulated by Ash for its effort. Bulbasaur was used in ''[[EP136|Chikorita's Big Upset]]'', where Ash ordered it to find Chikorita. It would again be irritated by Heracross, who after getting deployed by Ash against Team Rocket, wasted no time in trying to suck the pollen out of Bulbasaur's bulb. Bulbasaur scolded it's teammate and hit Heracross with it's vines.

It bid a solemn farewell to Squirtle in ''[[EP147|The Fire-ing Squad!]]''. Bulbasaur fought for Ash against Misty for the second time in ''[[EP151|The Totodile Duel]]''. It seemingly defeated {{TP|Misty|Poliwag}} with a Razor Leaf, but Poliwag evolved into {{p|Poliwhirl}} and fought back with a powerful {{m|Body Slam}}. After taking damage from Bubble, Bulbasaur flattened Poliwhirl with Solar Beam, winning the match for Ash. It also had a rematch with {{an|Aya}} in ''[[EP176|Ariados, Amigos!]]'', using {{m|Tackle}} to defeat Venonat from above. In ''[[EP178|The Grass Route]]'', Bulbasaur was entered in the 45th annual [[Grass Tournament]], reaching the finals after Team Rocket was disqualified for dressing {{MTR}} up as a {{p|Sunflora}}. Bulbasaur looked set to win the final, but [[Ephraim]]'s {{p|Skiploom}} learned Solar Beam and won the tournament.

In ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown: Entei]]'', he was defeated by {{mov|Lisa}}'s Butterfree's Sleep Powder, despite having been able to resist Ash's Butterfree using the same tactic in its debut. It helped Ash and his friends break into the mansion by using its vines as ropes for climbing.

Bulbasaur remained with Ash until ''[[EP225|Bulbasaur... the Ambassador!]]'', when it was sent back to {{an|Professor Oak}}'s lab to keep the Pokémon there from quarreling with each other. It proved to be a natural leader, first solving the territorial disputes between the warring {{p|Bellossom}} and {{p|Jumpluff}} factions, and the {{type|Grass}} and {{type|Water}} Pokémon by ordering and leading the construction of a new lake. It came very close to peril when it saved an Oddish from an enormous falling boulder, but revealed that it had learned {{m|Dig}} just in time to save itself. Oak remarked to {{Tracey}} that Bulbasaur was a perfect example of a Pokémon being able to call on powers unheard of in extreme situations. After resolving this dispute, Ash and Oak agreed to allow Bulbasaur to reside at Oak's lab for an indefinite period, finally rotating it out of his team.

It was called on in ''[[EP268|Tie One On!]]'', where it fought in the [[Silver Conference]] against [[Jackson]]'s {{Shiny}} {{p|Magneton}}. It quickly learned from Pikachu and {{AP|Cyndaquil}}'s mistakes, instead using a spinning Vine Whip to mow through the afterimages from Double Team. It blocked Magneton's attacks with Razor Leaf and Vine Whip, before taking it down with Leech Seed and Vine Whip. It then took on his {{TP|Vincent|Meganium}}, with whom it had a bitter rivalry after the Herb Pokémon had mocked it earlier. Neither Pokémon attempted to dodge the other's attacks, both willing to be able to take as much as the other. It came down to a battle of Vine Whips and a double Solar Beam, which knocked out both Pokémon.

Bulbasaur later returned in ''[[AG074|Hokey Poké Balls!]]'' to meet [[May's Venusaur|May's Bulbasaur]]. The two struck up a good [[VineShipping|friendship]], eventually resulting in May choosing to leave her Bulbasaur at Oak's lab in ''[[AG133|The Right Place and the Right Mime]]'' so she could learn from Ash's.

Bulbasaur was seen in ''[[SS004|Showdown at the Oak Corral]]'', and was one of the first Pokémon to realize there was something wrong. It later defeated [[Butch's Hitmontop]] and used a SolarBeam on the whole group.

In ''[[AG189|Gathering the Gang of Four!]]'', Ash brought it to his team alongside {{AP|Charizard}} and {{AP|Squirtle}} to battle {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}} at the {{DL|Battle Frontier (Generation III)|Battle Pyramid}}. After Brandon's {{p|Dusclops}} took down Charizard, Ash's Bulbasaur was sent out to fight in [[AG190|the next episode]]. It took damage from the powerful Dusclops, including a {{m|Confuse Ray}} which sent the vines out of control and caused them to attack Bulbasaur and Ash. Bulbasaur responded to Ash's cries and broke out of confusion, leaping into the air and taking down Dusclops with SolarBeam. After {{p|Solrock}} took down Squirtle, Bulbasaur was sent back out. After taking damage from {{type|Psychic}} moves and responding with Razor Leaf and Vine Whip, a double SolarBeam knocked both Pokémon out. After Ash won, Bulbasaur returned to Professor Oak's Laboratory.
