=== Pocket Monsters the Movie: I Choose You! Remix Manga ===
In ''ICYR1'', Ash undertakes an island trial on Poni Island, where he faces a Totem [[Kommo-o]]. During this intense battle, he recalls the moment he first met Pikachu. In the flashback, a younger Ash rushes to Professor Oak's Laboratory, having arrived late to choose his first Pokémon. With the initial three starters already chosen, he is left with Pikachu. Their relationship starts out rough, but when Ash accidentally provokes a Spearow by throwing a rock, Pikachu bravely defends him from a pursuing flock. This act cements their bond, and together, they witness the mythical Ho-Oh soaring overhead.

Returning to the present, Ash's strengthened connection with Pikachu helps him defeat Kommo-o with the powerful 10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt move.

In ''ICYR3'', Ash arrives at Mount Tensei with Verity and Sorrel, where he attempts to place the Rainbow Wing on a ceremonial rock. However, Cross interrupts him, challenging Ash to a battle. Ash manages to defeat Cross's Incineroar, but must then face Cross's [[Lycanroc]], pushing him further into this challenging confrontation.
