==Personality==
Despite his small size, Pikachu is one of Ash's most dependable and strongest partners. Whenever Ash isn't around, Pikachu takes a leadership position for the team. He is curious, smart, friendly, and shares Ash's fondness for battling. Pikachu is a very determined Pokémon and unwilling to give up in tough situations. He is responsible and often looks after younger Pokémon, particularly Misty's Togepi, who he is often forced to shepherd out of danger. Although stubborn at times, he obeys Ash's commands in battle and rarely leaves his side. Pikachu is also a constant target for Team Rocket. They try to capture him, but on the few occasions that they do, their plans are always thwarted by Ash and his friends. Pikachu will often use his Electric-type attacks to escape danger or traps, with Thunderbolt being one of his most common moves. He is very swift in battles as well. He can also imitate some Pokémon by making their face shapes.
==Biography==
===Pokémon the Series: XY===
Once they arrived in Kalos, Ash and Pikachu had their hearts set on a Gym Battle but had to wait. Pikachu got new close friends in Clemont and Bonnie, Clemont's little sister. Pikachu found new teammates in a Froakie, who later evolves into Frogadier then later evolves again into Greninja, Fletchling, who later evolves into Fletchinder then into Talonflame, Hawlucha, Goomy, who later evolves into Sliggoo then quickly evolves into Goodra, and Noibat, who evolves into Noivern. Also, Pikachu gets another close friend in Serena, who knew Ash back when they were children. Pikachu became best friends with the Dedenne that Clemont caught for Bonnie to take care of until she was old enough to be a trainer along with his First partner Pokémon, Chespin, and Serena's First partner Pokémon, Fennekin, who later evolves into Braixen.
Pikachu served as the leader of all of the Pikachu celebrities in the movie created by the Pikachu director, Frank who is very fond of all the wild Pikachu from the Pikachu village including Ash's. Pikachu plays the role of Super Pikachu which was also dubbed by Ash on the movie. Pikachu's stunt double when it flies down on the ground was Hawlucha who also wears a Super Pikachu costume. After watching Frank's movie creation, Pikachu was amazed by the movie he had created as well as the bloopers they have in behind the scenes.XY081: Lights! Camera! Pika!
===Pokémon the Series: XYZ===
At one point they met a mysterious Pokémon, nicknamed Squishy by Bonnie, who was being hunted by Team Flare and they ended up meeting them in person. Pikachu was in five out of eight of Ash's Kalos gym battles and put on some amazing battles in the Kalos League but Ash ended up runner-up after losing to Alain.
Shortly after Team Flare and Lysandre began their assault on the city, Pikachu and Ash were hit by Celosia's Drapion's Confuse Ray. After Ash lost consciousness from the Confuse Ray's effects, Pikachu tried to fight off the Confuse Ray while protecting an unconscious Ash from Team Flare but he also lost consciousness from it as well. Pikachu was then captured then hung up in the air with restraints while still out unconscious at the time along with Ash and the rest of his Pokémon at the top of Prism Tower. Pikachu, Talonflame, Goodra, Hawlucha, and Noivern were being used by Lysandre as hostages for their friends, Ash and Greninja. Regaining consciousness just after Ash did, Pikachu looked on in horror of the destruction caused by Lysandre's plans along with seeing the Zygarde under their control. Pikachu and Ash then witnessed Squishy transform into Zygarde, also, during that time, Ash's other Pokémon regained consciousness, and were stunned to learn that Squishy was a Zygarde this whole time.XY136: A Towering Takeover!
Despite not knowing the truth about Squishy sooner, Pikachu helps Ash defend it when Lysandre tells him and his friends about how Squishy will be under their control as well. Pikachu became worried as he can only watch in horror when Lysandre used the mini version of the Mega Evolution Energy Wave machine on Greninja and Ash so he can control them. However, Pikachu was able to save Ash by calling out to him, which got through to him as it got him and Greninja to resist Lysandre's control. After they both used Bond Phenomenon to break free from their restraints with Alain's Charizard help, Pikachu along with his friends/teammates were set free and were ready to battle.XY137: Coming Apart at the Dreams!
After Team Flare's evil ambitions were finally put to an end, Pikachu and the rest of Ash's Pokémon received Honor of Kalos medals for their heroic efforts against Team Flare.XY141: Battling with a Clean Slate!
Before heading back to Kanto, Pikachu had to say goodbye to Serena, Clemont, and Bonnie. Pikachu and Ash arrived back in Pallet Town at night with his Trainer opening the door to his house and telling his mother that he's home.XY144: Till We Compete Again!
