Pikachu gets all his feats from all the anime including the movies.
If Storm wins, which Legendary Pokémon from the anime can defeat her?

I haven't really watched much pokemon in the last decade and a half, but I have seen Pikachu fight a mon that basically sliced up an arena sized forest and dashed from tree to tree while they were still midairto close on the thing. That feels like some legit super speed, and potentially enough to close here.
Edit: yeesh, ok so Pikachu did use a bunch of trees as a jungle gym as they (to the combatant's perspective) fell slowly through the air. But he also launched those himself just by striking the ground, so he can could also potentially disrupt Orodo's balance before crossing.

Now like I said, I haven't watched much, so maybe this is SMvsFL. Bit if it stands...

Yep, she's very explicitly resistant to weather effects, including lightning. IIRC, she often engulfs herself in absolutely massive bolts of lightning to no I'll effect. But if Pikachu can land a single melee attack on her that would win the fight, but it would need to do so before she opens a giant-robot shredding tornado on, or inside, it.
Heck, is Pikachu resistant to having the electrical signals in its brain scrambled? ISTR Ororo being able to do crap like that with relative ease.
It depends Whirlwind and Razor Wind are Normal, Twister is Dragon, etc.
The MunchKING is Back! And he is AWSOME!
But Hurricane, which is the most similar to a tornado, is flying.
Twister LITERALLY says you summon a tornado in it's description.

Move typing and matchups barely makes sense within the video games, and Pikachu in particular has disregsrded those rules often enough to where I wouldn't cite them as especially relevant. Also, Storm's power scale is such that she should be able to shred Pikachu even if she deals half damage. Assuming she can act, of course. If that feat I posted stands, I don't think she does.
There's also a chance Pikachu could overcome her electric resistance. It's done it before to Pokemon. What feats does she have for it, precisely? Especially when she's not generating the effect herself or otherwise actively able to defend.

Oh, man, Storm discussions. Fun.
Her feats are kind of all over the place for this. ISTR her ignoring an electric shock because, you know, MAGN... er... it was like lightning? OTOH, there was that one indelibly-marked, absolutely idiotic feat where she was fighting off some bad weather and the bad weather froze her. One of the X-people said "how can she be KO'd by that, isn't she immune to weather?" to which Chaz replied "Oh you poor stupid ****, nothing could be further from the truth." I might be paraphrasing. Something around X-Men Unlimited 1 or something.
I don't think that I'd grant her resistance to conditions that she doesn't create or have time to react to. Magneto can trivially catch bullets out of the air, but he has to be able to detect them inbound to do so. He does that up to bullet-speed no worries, but if that bullet were moving at .5 c from close range? I don't think I'd handwave that. Same for Ororo, at least for me.
Of course, someone is now going to post that she REACTS AT THE SPEED OF THOUGHT and that's the greatest thing in the history of ever, buuuuuuut, yeah, no.
