Biography

Anime

Pokémon the Series: The Beginning

He met and challenges Ash to a Pokémon match in the Viridian Forest, using his Pinsir and Metapod. His Pinsir is defeated by Ash's Metapod but their match is, after a long stand off between the two Metapod, abandoned when a swarm of Beedrill attack and steal Ash's Metapod. Samurai initially views Ash as an novice trainer, especially in comparison to the other trainers from Pallet Town (including Gary Oak). His opinion, however, changes when he sees Ash competently handle his Butterfree to defeat a swarm of attacking Beedrill, stating that he is the novice of the two.

Samurai appeared in the opening themes of the Adventures on the Orange Islands subtitle in both the original and dub, but he did not appear in any of the episodes.

On hand

Pinsir was a huge bug Pokémon that was scary. Ash thought he had the edge with his Pidgeotto but Pinsir knocked it out in one blow. It tried to win the battle with Metapod but after it used Harden, the spikes on its horns broke.
Pinsir

Samurai used his own Metapod to battle Ash's Metapod which was long and dull since both Metapod only know Harden.
