Biography
Pokémon the Series: Gold and Silver
Bugsy and Ash split-screen in battle.
Bugsy was standing on a tree, marking how Misty was ignorant of Bug-type Pokémon, due to her fear of bugs. After acknowledging Ash's challenge, he sent a Spinarak against Ash's Cyndaquil. Spinarak managed to lower its speed with String Shot, and when it attempted to hit Cyndaquil with another Poison Sting, Ash swapped it with Chikorita. Spinarak used the string to move around, but Chikorita managed to defeat it with a Sweet Scent and Tackle combo. Next, Bugsy sent Metapod, who endured the attacks with Harden and defeated Chikorita with Tackle. Ash sent Pikachu, who also got tackled, but defeated Metapod with Thunderbolt. Bugsy admitted it was some time when he was defeated in the second round, as he sent Scyther. Scyther evaded Pikachu's Thunderbolt with Double Team and defeated it with Fury Cutter. Ash sent Cyndaquil back, who dodged Scyther's attacks, but blocked Cyndaquil's Flamethrower by spinning and using Swords Dance. Fortunately, Cyndaquil struck Scyther from atop the Gym with Flamethrower and defeated it. Thus, Ash won the Hive Badge, as Bugsy did not expect his Scyther's strategy to have been beaten. Regardless, Bugsy welcomed Ash and promised to battle him the next time they would meet.[1]
Bugsy, among other Johto Gym Leaders, appeared in the opening scene of Pokémon: Johto League Champions.
When Team Rocket stole Ash's badges, Ash was searching for the lost badges. He also remembered his battles with the Johto Gym Leaders, including Bugsy and his Scyther, as Ash and his Pokémon won those badges through hard effort.[2]
