===As Raichu===
When the heroes entered Sunyshore City's Gym with Flint, they encountered Raichu, who jumped into Flint's arms for a hug. When Team Rocket stole the Sunyshore Tower and modified it to fly in it, Volkner and Ash went to stop them. Inside the observatory, when they got caged, Ash and Volkner had Pikachu and Raichu use Thunderbolt and Thunder attacks. Despite the cage absorbing the attacks, the Pokémon intensified their attacks, to which Team Rocket's Seviper and Caturne attacked them with Poison Tail and Vine Whip. After Team Rocket was defeated, Raichu and Pikachu were used to power the generator to land the tower down.DP166: The Fleeing Tower of Sunyshore!
Despite being Volkner's main Pokémon, Raichu merely watched Volkner's battle with Ash instead of participating in it.
