BW116: Difference between revisions

{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} arrive at a [[Kanto Fair]], leaving Ash both nostalgic and excited to see things relating to his home [[region]]. As {{an|N}} deduces Ash is from [[Kanto]], an equally excited {{an|Iris}} explores the Fair, followed by {{an|Cilan}} and N. As they make their way through the Kanto Fair, Ash sees a video of {{an|Professor Oak}} presenting the three [[starter Pokémon]] of Kanto: {{type|Water}} {{p|Squirtle}}, {{type|Fire}} {{p|Charmander}}, and {{type|Grass}} {{p|Bulbasaur}}. N asks Ash which Pokémon he chose as his starter, to which Iris replies that {{AP|Pikachu}} is Ash's starter. N is confused until Ash explains that on [[EP001|the day he was supposed to get his starter]], he overslept, and all the other Pokémon were already taken by the time he arrived, so he wound up with Pikachu, which turned out to be great. The video presentation ends and a young lady, the [[Kanto Fair Host]], appears on a small stage to present an actual Charmander. A puff of smoke covers the stage, and when it clears, a Charmander reveals itself. The crowd is excited, and Ash scans Charmander with his [[Pokédex]]. The presentation begins with Charmander using {{m|Ember}}, charming the audience and then begins spinning while still using Ember, producing a shower of beautiful flames, but soon becomes dizzy. It accidentally falls over and is hit by a lamp and a section of the stage wall. Charmander's tail rises from the rubble, indicating that it's at least somewhat fine.

With Charmander recovering, Ash and his friends sit down to drink. Ash tells everyone that this Charmander reminded him of his own Charmander. Cilan is confused by how he could've had a Charmander if Pikachu was his starter. Ash admits that that is the truth, but that he also later [[EP011|encountered an abandoned Charmander]], who was originally left behind by [[Damian|his Trainer]]. After witnessing Charmander learning {{m|Flamethrower}}, said Trainer tried to reclaim it, but Charmander refused to rejoin someone so selfish, and thus chose to go with Ash instead. They went on to go through many experiences together, such as [[EP025|helping Ash catch]] a {{AP|Primeape}}, [[EP032|defeating]] [[Koga]] at the [[Fuchsia Gym]], and [[Snow Way Out!|warming him up during a snowstorm]]. Things changed when Charmander [[EP043|evolved into]] a {{p|Charmeleon}} and [[EP044|started to disobey Ash]], much to his frustration. Despite this, Ash kept on using Charmeleon, and he soon [[EP046|evolved again]] into a {{AP|Charizard}} in order to battle an {{p|Aerodactyl}}. Despite the evolution, Charizard was still [[obedience|disobedient]], but nevertheless chose to [[EP059|help Ash defeat Blaine's Magmar at the Cinnabar Gym]]. Charizard's attitude did not change, and his [[EP079|disobedience at the Pokémon League]] cost Ash his fifth-round battle at the [[Indigo Plateau Conference]].
