Ash's Charizard: Difference between revisions

While confronting {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}}'s original clones of the three Kanto first partner Pokémon in their final evolutions during ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', Ash summoned Charizard to fight alongside [[Corey]]'s {{p|Venusaur|Bruteroot}} and [[Neesha]]'s {{p|Blastoise|Shellshocker}} against the clones, although not before Charizard, to Ash's surprise, attempted to attack Mewtwo preemptively. After Bruteroot and Shellshocker were quickly overpowered by their clones, Ash attempted to turn the tables by having Charizard focus on speed and evasion over raw power in his confrontation with the clone Charizard, but this strategy failed. Once Ash released the captured originals to confront the clones, Charizard battled the cloned Charizard once again but ended the battle to cry for Ash after his sacrifice to try and stop the battle between {{OBP|Mew|M01}} and Mewtwo. After Mewtwo departed with Mew and the clones upon witnessing Ash's resurrection, it erased these actions from the memories of all people and Pokémon present, returning Charizard to his familiar disobedience. In the movie's remake, ''[[M22|Mewtwo Strikes Back—Evolution]]'', he had the same role as in the original, although his disobedience to Ash was largely downplayed.
