There, she met Venusaur, then a clumsy Bulbasaur, while trying to pick flowers. After being saved from a fall, Bulbasaur warmed up to May, but the other Pokémon in the reserve repeatedly tried to attack May. However, Bulbasaur explained to {{p|Venusaur}}, her parent and the ruler of the Forbidden Forest, that May was a friend. Before May had to leave, Bulbasaur decided to stay with her. | ||
In ''[[AG074|Hokey Poké Balls!]]'', May sent out Bulbasaur to enjoy the sights as they went through a city. Bulbasaur quickly got distracted by some flowers in a truck and had to be rescued as the truck sped off. Later, at the Pokémon Center, May showed Professor Oak her Bulbasaur, which made Ash decide to bring his own {{AP|Bulbasaur}} over for a visit. When the Poké Ball arrived, it wouldn't open, making everyone believe that the Pokémon Center's Balls were stolen. The culprits were revealed to be {{TRT}}, who accidentally dropped Ash's Bulbasaur while escaping. The two Bulbasaur teamed up to stop Team Rocket. Once they found Team Rocket, the two Bulbasaur battled them, with Ash's Bulbasaur protecting and teaching May's how to fight. After rescuing the Pokémon, Professor Oak called back and asked for Ash's Bulbasaur to return so it could stop the {{t|Water}} and {{t|Grass}} Pokémon from fighting. Ash sent his Bulbasaur back to Professor Oak's Laboratory as May's Bulbasaur appeared to have made a positive change from the experience. | In ''[[AG074|Hokey Poké Balls!]]'', May sent out Bulbasaur to enjoy the sights as they went through a city.

Bulbasaur | In ''[[A Fan with a Plan]]'', May decided to use Bulbasaur in her upcoming [[Rank (Contest)|R1]] [[Rubello Town]] [[Pokémon Contest]] after Drew called her undisciplined due to her clumsiness. Bulbasaur participated in the Contest in the [[AG078|next episode]]. Although initially excited to participate, she quickly became overwhelmed by the roaring crowd and large stage. May snapped at her when she tried to hide, and Bulbasaur reluctantly stepped forward to face [[Savannah]]'s {{p|Lairon}}. Due to her fear, she failed to follow May's commands and was declared unable to continue after a few attacks. Despite May's harsh attitude, she apologized later for losing sight of what was important. | ||

In ''[[AG103|A Cacturne for the Worse]]'', Bulbasaur was used in the {{ci|Purika}} Contest. In the [[Appeal|Appeals Round]], she started her performance by using {{m|Razor Leaf}}. As the leaves were flying through the air, she whipped them with the vines from her {{m|Vine Whip}} [[move|attack]], impressing [[Contest Judge|the judges]] and advancing May to the [[Contest Battle]]s. There, she was seen defeating [[Kent]]'s {{p|Surskit }} to reach the final round, where she battled [[Harley's Cacturne]]. Their battle was a hard-fought one, but in the end, Bulbasaur was able to defeat the Scarecrow Pokémon with a [[Contest combination|combination]] of Razor Leaf and {{m|Petal Dance}}, giving May her fourth [[Hoenn]] [[Ribbon]]. | |||
When May got the five required Ribbons, Bulbasaur participated in the [[Hoenn Grand Festival]], where Bulbasaur was used in the first round of the | |||
battle stage against [[Harley]]'s Cacturne and {{p|Banette}}, alongside {{TP|May|Beautifly}}, in ''[[AG123|Rhapsody in Drew]]''. The duo showed off stunning combinations, such as with {{m|Silver Wind}} and Razor Leaf, and won the match. Bulbasaur participated in the next battle, alongside {{TP|May|Combusken}}, against {{OBP|Anthony|AG122}}'s {{p|Swalot}} and {{p|Pinsir}}. The two ended the round with more points, advancing May to the next stage. | |||

Bulbasaur reunited with Ash's Bulbasaur when May stopped at Professor Oak's Lab to meet up with Ash. The two Bulbasaur were later used in a battle against Team Rocket, where May's Bulbasaur was impressed by Ash's Bulbasaur's skill. May decided to leave Bulbasaur at Professor Oak's Lab so she could learn more from Ash's Bulbasaur. Eventually, after journeying to the [[Johto]] [[region]], May got Bulbasaur back from {{an|Professor Oak}}, and during her time away from Ash, she [[Evolution|evolved]] twice, into {{p|Ivysaur}} and {{p|Venusaur}}. | ||
