Charizard also accompanied Ash on his journey to the Johto region, although it became apparent that it was unfairly superior than most of Ash's early competition. This was shown especially in ''[[EP118|The Double Trouble Header]]'', where {{an|Casey}}'s {{p|Pidgey}} was beaten by Charizard exhaling and {{p|Rattata}} was defeated merely by bouncing of Charizard's stomach. A single Flamethrower beat {{TP|Casey|Chikorita}} and allowed Charizard to win in the sweep, despite the disapproval of Misty and Brock. Team Rocket later capitulated on Casey's frustration, calling Charizard an illegal choice by Ash. | Charizard also accompanied Ash on his journey to the Johto region, although it became apparent that it was unfairly superior than most of Ash's early competition.

Charizard was used to weaken and help Ash capture a {{p|Chikorita}} in ''[[EP126|The Chikorita Rescue]]''. His massive size compared to it came into effect when Chikorita ran toward him and tried to attack, Charizard responding by placing his foot out and blowing a small puff of fire after being instructed by Ash to only weaken it. Charizard's puff of fire ended up on Chikorita's single leaf and caused it to run around for a short amount of time before using [[Vine Whip]] to attack Charizard. Charizard was recalled by Ash after he and Chikorita fell into a large canvas of rocks. | |||
It participated in Ash's first Johto Gym battle against [[Falkner]], where it battled Falkner's {{p|Pidgeot}}. Due to the latter's impressive {{stat|Speed}}, Charizard was put on the back foot, with Pidgeot's {{m|Whirlwind}} reflecting its Flamethrower back onto it. It was then knocked back down by a combination of {{m|Wing Attack}} and {{m|Quick Attack}}. Falkner tells Ash to surrender but Ash refuses and Charizard gains the strength to fight back and fly above Quick Attack. Charizard then baited Pidgeot, spinning around in midair when Pidgeot flew behind it and hitting it with Fire Spin, before seizing it and hurling it into the ground with Seismic Toss. Pidgeot was knocked out and Ash won the Zephyr Badge. | It participated in Ash's first Johto Gym battle against [[Falkner]], where it battled Falkner's {{p|Pidgeot}}.
