In ''[[EP044|The Problem with Paras]]'', it was revealed that Charmeleon had lost its [[obedience]] to Ash, attacking a {{p|Paras}} when Ash was trying to deliberately lose in order to help Paras evolve. [[Cassandra]]'s grandmother explained that Charmeleon's skill level had exceeded Ash's, and therefore it did not respect him. Ironically a rampaging Charmeleon was stopped when Paras, desperately trying to avoid punishment, jabbed at it with a claw. After evolving into {{p|Parasect}}, it put Charmeleon to sleep with {{m|Spore}} and allowed Ash to recall it. Cassandra's grandmother warned Ash that he needed to learn to control Charmeleon. | In ''[[EP044|The Problem with Paras]]'', it was revealed that Charmeleon had lost its [[obedience]] to Ash, attacking a {{p|Paras}} when Ash was trying to deliberately lose in order to help Paras evolve.

Charizard's disloyalty began to cost Ash in the business end of his journey, throwing away a round with [[Blaine]] in ''[[EP058|Riddle Me This]]'', as Charizard simply loafed off and allowed {{p|Rhydon}} an easy win with {{m|Horn Drill}}. In [[EP059|the next episode]], Charizard | Ash stopped using his disobedient Charmeleon, but tried again in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]'' to repel wild Fossil Pokémon, which it ignored to do. When an {{p|Aerodactyl}} swooped past knocking Charmeleon over, Charmeleon proudly fought back but was unable to do anything. It then jumped up and grabbed the escaping Aerodactyl's tail and followed it into the open air, but was shaken off. Upset, Charmeleon evolved into {{p|Charizard}} and flew after Aerodactyl to avenge its injured pride. It managed to catch Ash and put him on the ground, but unfortunately, retained its disobedience. | ||

In [[EP059|the next episode]], Charizard refused to help dam the volcano, but changed its mind after seeing Blaine's powerful {{TP|Blaine|Magmar}} contributing. After working together, the duo were left with a burning desire to test each other's strength. Blaine permitted a battle at the peak of the volcano, and the two seemed evenly matched. Magmar dropped Charizard into the lava, but Charizard regained the upper hand by dazing Magmar with an aerial submission and then knocking it out with its powerful {{m|Seismic Toss}}. | |||

In ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', Charizard played a significant role. It blatantly refused to listen to Ash, but took up the battle against {{OBP|Mewtwo|original series}}'s cloned Charizard. It lasted longer than [[Corey|Bruteroot]] or [[Neesha|Shellshocker]] had, but was ultimately defeated by being slammed into the ground. It was captured in a Clone Ball, much to Ash's anguish. Ash then helped to release Charizard and the others, and it ran back to continue fighting its clone. When Ash was petrified by Mewtwo and {{OBP|Mew|M01}}, Charizard wept for its fallen master's sacrifice, its tears helping to regenerate him. Once things were back to normal, Charizard's memory was erased and it went back to its blatant disobedience. | In ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', Charizard played a significant role.

Charizard's disloyalty cost Ash greatly in the battle against [[Ritchie]] in ''[[EP079|Friend and Foe Alike]]''. Down to one Pokémon, Ash called Charizard into battle against [[Zippo]], and surprisingly decided to battle and force Zippo to flee from a far superior Flamethrower, causing Ritchie to concede the round. However, when [[Sparky]] came out, Charizard condescendingly stomped the ground and flapped its wings against the little Pikachu, before going to sleep, | Charizard's disloyalty cost Ash greatly in the battle against [[Ritchie]] in ''[[EP079|Friend and Foe Alike]]''.

However, when [[Sparky]] came out, Charizard condescendingly stomped the ground and flapped its wings against the little Pikachu, before going to sleep, refusing to battle. Ash lost the round and Ritchie advanced onto the next round. | ||

Ash took Charizard with him to the Orange Islands, despite its refusal to obey him. Noticeably Ash had stopped trying to use it in battles, although in the episode ''[[EP093|Navel Maneuvers]]'', Charizard, {{AP|Pikachu}} and Bulbasaur were used in the second round of the match between Ash and [[Danny]].

Noticeably Ash had stopped trying to use it in battles, although in the episode ''[[EP093|Navel Maneuvers]]'', Charizard, {{AP|Pikachu}} and Bulbasaur were used in the second round of the match between Ash and [[Danny]]. Charizard was initially unwilling to participate, and Danny nearly won. However, Charizard unwillingly helped when it tried to use {{m|Flamethrower}} on Ash but missed and carved an ice pillar into a sled. This meant Ash won the round and was able to continue the match as Charizard embarrassed him. | ||
In ''[[EP098|A Way Off Day Off]]'', although it did not obey Ash, it recognized the wisdom and formidable experience that [[Tracey's Scyther]] had, and the two teamed up to defeat Team Rocket. Scyther was the only one of any of the group whom Charizard respected. | In ''[[EP098|A Way Off Day Off]]'', although it did not obey Ash, it recognized the wisdom and formidable experience that [[Tracey's Scyther]] had, and the two teamed up to defeat Team Rocket.
