When we last saw {{Ash}}, he was locked into {{pkmn|battle}} against [[Blaine]], down two {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} before {{AP|Pikachu}} had managed to knock out [[Blaine]]'s {{p|Rhydon}}. However, any semblance of a comeback was halted by Blaine's {{p|Magmar}}, who quickly corners off Pikachu and is about to finish it off with a {{m|Fire Blast}}. Ash tells Pikachu to duck in the last second, hoping to avoid the blast, but Pikachu is hit, but fortunately is not knocked into the lava, having hung on to the edge. Though Pikachu makes it back onto the battlefield, Ash concedes the match, not wanting to risk Pikachu falling into the lava. Blaine allows Ash to stay, as the hot springs will help heal Pikachu from its burns. Though {{an|Brock}} and {{an|Misty}} advise Ash to leave for another Gym, as Blaine was simply too powerful, Ash declares that he will not leave without a {{Badge|Volcano}}.

The next day, as Ash, Misty, and Brock try to help Pikachu, {{TRT}} manages to sneak into the battlefield, in an attempt to steal Magmar by freezing him. Though it appears that their attempt is successful, Magmar simply melts the ice around it, which in turn causes Team Rocket to fire more freezing missiles at it. However, their over zealousness causes the battlefield walls to cave in, and Ash, Misty, Brock, and Blaine arrive as Team Rocket are sent flying. With nowhere to run, and the volcano about to erupt due to the frozen ice causing fissures in the walls and ground (causing the battlefield in turn to sink into the lava), Blaine is forced to use Magmar to dam the volcano and prevent its eruption. Ash also tries to have {{AP|Charizard}} to pitch in, but Charizard is unwilling to cooperate. However, after seeing Magmar throw rocks in an attempt to dam the volcano, Charizard decides to help, and {{TP|Brock|Onix}}, {{TP|Brock|Geodude}}, {{TP|Misty|Staryu}}, and {{AP|Squirtle}} also pitch in (the latter two helping to cool off Onix and Geodude). Pikachu also makes an effort to help, while Misty is forced to rein in {{TP|Misty|Psyduck}} and {{TP|Misty|Togepi}} from helping, while Ash is forced to rein in {{an|Jigglypuff}} from putting everyone to sleep. Eventually, the volcano is dammed, leaving Charizard and Magmar with a desire to battle it out against each other.

As thanks, Blaine allows Ash a rematch for the Volcano Badge. But with the battlefield destroyed, Ash and Blaine agree to battle one-on-one on the summit of the volcano - Blaine with Magmar, and Ash deciding o use Charizard after it shows a desire to battle (he had originally wanted to go with Pikachu). As the battle begins, both sides trade {{m|Flamethrower}}s, and Magmar counters with a Fire Blast, which Charizard digs in and manages to deflect. Magmar then proceeds to hit Charizard square in the gut with a {{m|Skull Bash}}, pushing Charizard into a pillar. Charizard begins to fall towards the lava. Charizard recovers, and locks up with Magmar. Magmar then uses Charizard's own momentum against it by flipping it over, and pushing the two into the lava. Although Ash calls foul, Blaine reminds him that "under the volcano" is still part of their agreed-upon battlefield. However, once the two emerge from the lava, Charizard is now the one with the upper hand, having used his flight ability to create an aerial {{m|Submission}} and finish off Magmar with {{m|Seismic Toss}}. Having won the battle, Ash proceeds to congratulate Charizard and return it, only to be blasted in the face with another Flamethrower. As it turns out, Charizard only obeyed Ash in order to fight Magmar, and nothing more. Still, Ash had earned his Volcano Badge, and leaves Cinnabar Island.
