Ash wonders if he should do it, and realizes that if he does, he'll end up like Surge — only caring about winning and not about his Pokémon.

The next day, Pikachu is prepared for its rematch with Raichu. the battle starts off with a rocky start for Pikachu, getting struck multiple times with powerful {{m|Body Slam}}s. But as the battle progresses, Pikachu manages to evade Raichu's attacks easier by using its {{m|Agility}}. Upset, Surge commands Raichu to fire off a {{m|Thunderbolt}}, which destroys the Gym but leaves Pikachu untouched, as it used its tail as a ground to avoid the electricity. Raichu tries to use another Thunderbolt, but runs out of power. Pikachu responds to this with a {{m|Quick Attack}}, which [[fainting|KO]]'s Raichu, earning Ash his {{Badge|Thunder}}. | The next day, Pikachu is prepared for its rematch with Raichu. the battle starts off with a rocky start for Pikachu, getting struck multiple times with powerful {{m|Body Slam}}s.

A whole herd of {{pkmn2|wild}} Pikachu are in the clearing, playing and eating. Ash's Pikachu waves hello. This frightens them, which makes them run away, which in turn makes Pikachu sad. As if in response to this, one of the Pikachu herd walks over and talks to Ash's Pikachu for a bit, which makes the other wild Pikachu realize they have nothing to fear from it. They run over and play with Pikachu, accepting it as a member of the group. Excited, Ash dashes into the clearing, also wanting be part of their herd. This frightens the wild Pikachu, and they run away again, this time not returning, which makes Pikachu sad again. Ash wonders why the wild Pikachu ran away, and Brock explains that as wild Pokémon, the Pikachu are not used to humans, and thus are afraid.

Meanwhile, though it is night, Ash can't sleep, too busy feeling guilty about what he did to Pikachu that morning.

The gang struggles against the net, and free themselves, because "This net may be Pika-proof, but it's not people-proof."

The next day, whilst Brock and Misty comment on Pikachu's superb training, Ash decides to leave Pikachu behind, as it seems much happier here. He tells Pikachu this, and rushes away from the forest so that Pikachu can't follow. As he runs, he remembers all the good times he had with Pikachu.
