Editing Ash Ketchum/Relationships (section)

===[[Charizard]]:===
Ash first meet Charizard as a Charmander when it was waiting for its original Trainer to come back for it. However, Ash found out that its original Trainer abandoned it then he and his friends went to go get it as it was raining. Ash kept the flame lit so it would't go out and that act show Charizard who its real friends were along with finding out its original Trainer's true colors. After that, Ash add Charizard to his team and it became its fourth Pokémon he obtained in Kanto. Ash has a strong friendship with Charizard and cares very much about it.

After evolving into Charmeleon, Ash's relationship with Charizard took a different turn when its own skill level excelled that of his. Because of it, Charizard disrespected Ash and refuse to obey him. When it evolved into Charizard, their relationship got worse, although it did obey Ash sometimes and still cared about him, as it would use Flamethrower on him to prevent him from recalling it, to irritate him or as a sign of its defiance. Ash not only got annoyed with that habit, but he also would get annoyed with it when Charizard would embarrass him. After Charizard was frozen by a Poliwrath's Ice Beam and throughout the night, Ash resolved to keep it warm as he was rubbing his hands to provide heat in the form of friction, which risked rubbing his hands raw. Before the night ended, Ash told Charizard that he only wanted to be good enough for it and reminded it how long they had been together, which it recollected on that day. Ash's actions along with his efforts help Charizard realized how badly it treated him as it recalled all the good times they've shared and that he never gave up on it. After that, Ash and Charizard relationship was put back on the right track and their bond for each other reminded unbroken from that point on.

Ash had Charizard train with someone else to become stronger, but he had its caretaker bring it over from time to time to help him in his battles. When he saw how much it has grown during its training as he brought it over to show his friends during one of his journeys, Ash decided to have Charizard stay with him full-time again but left it at Professor Oak's lab, after his journey ended. However, Ash is happy to reunite with Charizard whenever he comes to visit his hometown.

In ''[[Ash's Adventures of The Little Mermaid]]'', Charizard witnessed Ash's failed attempt to protect Ariel from Ursula and grew concerned for its trainer. With that, it immediately flew off to help Ash, Pikachu and their friends. Charizard manages to make it to the battlefield in a spectacular entrance when it blasts Ursula in the back with its Flamethrower as a sneak attack and quickly flies down to save Ash and Pikachu before they can hit the bottom of the whirlpool below. Soon, Charizard joined Ash and Pikachu in a decisive battle to the death with the monstrous sea witch as rain, thunder, and waves roar around them. Ursula looked like she gained the upper hand and was about to destroy Ariel with the trident. But before she could do so, Ash, Pikachu and Charizard prevent her from killing her and continued the battle. Thanks to the supportive help from Prince Eric, who skewered Ursula through the abdomen with the splintered bowsprit, Ash, Pikachu, and Charizard destroyed the wicked sea witch for good with the combined Flamethrower and Thunderbolt attack that morphed together into a golden dragon and eradicated her. The Pokémon's attacks as well as the ship that impaled her and the trident's power electrocuting her caused Ursula to collapse and sink into the ocean before finally being destroyed in a blinding explosion underwater. And so, with Ursula finally destroyed, all of the evil spells she had placed on her victims wore off and were changed back into merpeople. King Triton's spell also wore off and his royal status as king was restored, nullifying the contract permanently. Soon after, Ash, Pikachu, and Charizard are embraced by so many of their friends in victory of the battle's outcome. King Triton, seeing how much Ariel truly loves Eric, gives her legs back and allows her to marry him. Charizard then joins its trainer and his friends in attending Ariel and Eric's wedding, while also making its acquaintance with Ariel and her father for the first time.
