History
Kanto
Pikachu debuted in Bring Down the Powerful Opponent Onix!!, where it was actually part of Brock's Pokémon collection. After Isamu drags Clefairy into the Pewter City Gym to face Brock's Onix, the two had learned of Brock's collection and that Clefairy's cousin Pikachu was also a part of it. The news had enraged Clefairy and had given him the courage to face Onix in battle, which Clefairy later wins by drawing his picture onto Onix's tail, causing Onix to chase after its tail and become dizzy, and is finished off as Clefairy smashes a fallen pillar on its head. By winning the battle, Pikachu was granted freedom from Brock's collection and joined Isamu's team.
Pikachu evolved into a Raichu in Clefairy Finally Evolves?!, but had later devolved back into a Pikachu in the same chapter.
Johto
Pikachu continues his travels with Isamu and Clefairy in Johto.
Hoenn
In Something Happened!! Let's Go After Pikachu!! of the Pokémon Ruby-Sapphire series, Ruby finds Isamu's Pikachu and wanting one for himself, decides to steal Pikachu away by bribing Clefairy with food and swapping Pikachu with a Poké Ball containing his Treecko. Clefairy panics when Isamu and his Tyrogue return, and goes to great lengths to try to disguise Treecko as Pikachu and to lie about Pikachu's actual location. While Clefairy leaves to go retrieve Pikachu himself, Treecko tells Isamu the truth about what really happened, and the other three leave to also get Pikachu back. Clefairy manages to find Ruby's house and distracts him while dressed in a half-woman and half-man disguise. While Ruby is distracted by confusion, Isamu and Treecko breaks through the house's window and rescues Pikachu from Ruby's possession.
Sinnoh
In Pocket Monsters DP, Pikachu goes to the Sinnoh region.
HGSS
In Pocket Monsters HGSS, Pikachu returns to the Johto region.
Unova
After waving goodbye to Tyrogue, Pikachu, Isamu and Clefairy go to the Unova region.
Personality and characteristics
Unlike most Pokémon in the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga series, which are capable of speech, Isamu's Pikachu unusually cannot speak, and instead uses pantomime to communicate. Pikachu is often shown to be the opposite of his cousin Clefairy. While Clefairy is typically rude and full of dumb ideas, Pikachu is much more intelligent, well-behaved and generally more capable. This has sometimes been the source of rivalry between the two Pokémon, leading to fights.
According to Clefairy, Pikachu shocks people to show when it's happy, a fact that Isamu is not too fond of.

Trivia
- Pikachu and Clefairy are stated to be cousins. This is actually possible according to video game canon as Pikachu and Clefairy both belong to the Fairy Egg group. However, this was not known when the manga was originally published, as Pokémon Gold and Silver had not been released yet.
- Pikachu's inability to speak human language in a world where other Pokémon can is similar to the Pikachu from the manga Magical Pokémon Journey and its sequel, Pokémon Chamo-Chamo ☆ Pretty ♪.
