Ash's Pikachu: Difference between revisions

Pikachu joined Ash and his mother on a vacation to the [[Alola]] region in ''[[SM001|Alola to New Adventure!]]''. On their way to the [[Pokémon School]] on [[Melemele Island]], Pikachu and Ash followed a wild {{p|Grubbin}} into a forest, where the two noticed {{an|Kiawe|a Trainer}} riding a {{DL|Kiawe (anime)|Charizard}}. They followed him and arrived at the Pokémon School, where they met some of the shool's students as well as [[Professor Kukui]] and Professor Oak's cousin, [[Samson Oak]]. Ash later used Pikachu to battle a trio of {{tc|Team Skull Grunt}}s, who were harassing Kiawe, and their trio of {{p|Zubat}}, {{p|Salandit}}, and {{p|Yungoos}}. Pikachu was able to dodge their Salandit's attacks with ease and seriously damage them with Quick Attack and Thunderbolt. Kiawe then had his {{TP|Kiawe|Turtonator}} use the [[Z-Move]] {{m|Inferno Overdrive}} which knocked [[Team Skull]]'s Pokémon out in one shot. That evening, Pikachu and Ash followed {{DL|List of recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Tapu Koko}}, the [[guardian deity]] of Melemele Island, who handed Ash a [[Z-Ring]] and an {{DL|Z-Crystal|Electrium Z}}. Pikachu remained in Alola with Ash, when he decided to study at the Pokémon School.
