Farther down the trail, Ash and friends discover the [[Pokémon Center]] that is on the map. Ash declares that Route 24 can't be far now. And they couldn't have found it at a better time, as it soon starts to rain, forcing Ash and friends to quickly race down to the Pokémon center. | Farther down the trail, Ash and friends discover the [[Pokémon Center]] that is on the map.

A brief scene showes the Charmander still on the rock, vainly trying to protect its tail flame from the rain with a leaf (it'll die if its flame goes out). Back at the Pokémon Center, Misty is serving up some soup, but Brock is still worried about the Charmander. Ash points out that there's no way the Charmander would have waited around that long.

Brock agrees, stating that the Trainer surely would have gotten it by now. | ||

They are awing over his Pokémon collection, which is pretty sizable, when one of them asks if he has a Charmander too. Damian reveals he did, but since it was so weak, he left it on a rock out in the middle of the woods promising to return for it, which he had and still has no intention of doing. | ||
Ash and his friends realize that it must have been his Charmander they saw and that based on Damian's description of Charmander's loyalty to him, it must still be waiting on the rock. This pushes the normally calm Brock over the edge, and he stands up and makes his way over to Damian. While they continue to laugh about how the Charmander was probably still waiting, Brock confronts Damian, telling him to go get the Charmander. | Ash and his friends realize that it must have been his Charmander they saw and that based on Damian's description of Charmander's loyalty to him, it must still be waiting on the rock.

Ash, Misty, and Brock, having gotten out of the pit, thank Charmander for its help, and Ash asks Charmander if it wants to come along with them. However, Damian shows up, saying he came back for Charmander, "just as he promised". Ash is angry, saying he was just bragging about how he abandoned Charmander, but Damian laughs, saying it toughened him up. He later says "Besides, what's wrong with dumping off a weak Pokémon?" | Ash, Misty, and Brock, having gotten out of the pit, thank Charmander for its help, and Ash asks Charmander if it wants to come along with them.

Brock angrily replies that raising a Pokémon is the best part of being a Trainer, but Damian calls it the most boring part. Finally, Damian, having had enough talk, flings a Poké Ball at Charmander. The Charmander, realizing that Damian neither cares nor respects it, whacks the ball right back into Damian's face. | ||
Damian is now furious, and attempts to crush Charmander with every Pokémon he has, but Charmander used Flamethrower on him. Pikachu added injury to injury by adding a ThunderShock of its own. The utterly scorched and fried Damian runs off crying, and the others cheer Charmander for its choice. | Damian is now furious, and attempts to crush Charmander with every Pokémon he has, but Charmander used Flamethrower on him.
