Lt. Surge first appeared in the anime episode ''[[IL014: Electric Shock Showdown|Electric Shock Showdown]]'', where [[Ash]] challenges him to a [[Gym Battle]]. The battle ended in disaster for [[Ash]], as he was defeated by Surge's [[Lt. Surge's Raichu|Raichu]]. With Surge believing that power meant everything, he commented on how [[Ash]] should evolve his [[Ash's Pikachu|Pikachu]] as soon as possible or he would never manage to defeat him.

With Surge believing that power meant everything, he commented on how Ash should evolve his [[Ash's Pikachu|Pikachu]] as soon as possible or he would never manage to defeat him.
   
[[Ash]] debated over the statement for quite a while, all the while waiting for [[Pikachu]] to recover. Deciding not to evolve [[Pikachu]], [[Ash]] once again challenged Lt. Surge, which led to more criticism. [[Ash]], this time, matched Lt. Surge's [[Raichu]] with [[Pikachu]]'s [[speed]] instead of power, which is all that [[Raichu]] relied on. [[Pikachu]], able to get the best of [[Raichu]], led to [[Ash]]'s victory, where Lt. Surge gave him a [[Thunder Badge]].

In the manga, he was a member of Team Rocket before it got disbanded, though he was angry at Neo Team Rocket because the new leader was just controlling the old members. Though it was resolved when they defeated the one who was controlling everyone.

"Hey, kid! What do you think you're doing here? You won't live long in combat! Not with your puny power! I tell you, kid, electric Pokémon saved me during the war! They zapped my enemies into paralysis! The same as I'll do to you!"
— Lt. Surge, Pokémon Red, Blue, LeafGreen and FireRed

Lt. Surge serves as the Gym Leader at Vermilion City's Gym. He holds the Thunder Badge for the trainers that can defeat him, and specializes in Electric type Pokémon.

Lt. Surge, in the anime

Lt. Surge first appeared in the anime episode Electric Shock Showdown, where Ash challenges him to a Gym Battle. The battle ended in disaster for Ash, as he was defeated by Surge's Raichu. With Surge believing that power meant everything, he commented on how Ash should evolve his Pikachu as soon as possible or he would never manage to defeat him.

Ash debated over the statement for quite a while, all the while waiting for Pikachu to recover. Deciding not to evolve Pikachu, Ash once again challenged Lt. Surge, which led to more criticism. Ash, this time, matched Lt. Surge's Raichu with Pikachu's speed instead of power, which is all that Raichu relied on. Pikachu, able to get the best of Raichu, led to Ash's victory, where Lt. Surge gave him a Thunder Badge.
