Personality & Development: Ash's Charizard: Difference between revisions

[[File:EP105.png|thumb|right|Vs Poliwrath.]]

Charizard re-discovered his love for Ash eventually after Ash practically saved his life. Just as it took selfless acts that put the Pokémon first to win over Pikachu, Squirtle and Bulbasaur’s trust, Charizard became obedient and loyal. Ash’s big selfless act was a bit later than with his other Pokémon, since he never really needed to protect Charmander because he was already loyal to him and after Charmander's evolution, he never got the chance. Despite re-building the relationship between him and Ash, Charizard still seemed to have some issues with others and quite notably wanted to do things on his own. It wasn’t too long before he learned to work with Pikachu and became a welcome member of the family. However his phase of disobedience was never forgotten, many times Charizard would still blast Ash with fire even after they had bonded, and Ash would take it. This I see as being quite sweet, it is as if when Charizard uses Flamethrower on Ash, they are laughing about what on between them, they acknowledge their relationship was not perfect but they don’t let it bother them, which gives them a stronger relationship then they ever had.

A little bit into Johto, Charizard got a leaving episode and one I consider quite emotional. When faced with the opportunity to train where the strongest Charizard in the world train, he was typically eager to march in and be better than everyone else. This is where we quite hilariously find out; Charizard was kind of weak, compared to the others at least. However, Charizard was able to prove he was strong without fighting, proving he has flexibility. Since he began staying at the Charicific Valley he has shown more flexibility and even began courting.
