The costliest incidence of Charizard's disobedience was in the battle against [[Ritchie]] during the [[Indigo Plateau Conference|Indigo League]] in ''[[EP079|Friend and Foe Alike]]''. Down to one Pokémon, Ash called Charizard into battle against [[Zippo]]. Surprisingly, he decided to battle and force Zippo to flee from a far superior Flamethrower, causing Ritchie to recall it and concede the round. However, when [[Sparky]] came out, Charizard condescendingly stomped the ground and flapped his wings against the little Pikachu before going to sleep, refusing to battle. Due to this, Ash lost the round.

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.

{{OBP|Ash Ketchum|EToP|Ash}}'s Charizard made a few appearances in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]; however, the circumstances of its capture seem to differ in the manga. While [[Damian]] appeared in ''[[ET07|Pikachu's Excellent Adventure]]'', he was separated from his Charmander because he was injured, not because he abandoned it. At the end of the chapter, the two reunited in the [[Hidden Village]].

Charizard appeared one last time in ''[[ET18|Pikachu's Plan]]'', where it was used to battle {{OBP|Drake|Orange League}} in the [[Orange League]] finals. Charizard, now listening to Ash perfectly, battled against [[Drake's Dragonite]]. Despite being much larger and putting up a good fight, Charizard was eventually defeated, leaving Ash with only Pikachu left to use.
