When Ash got back with the Super Potion, Team Rocket began bombing the Squirtle Squad after they received Pikachu. Ash, Misty and Brock ran to hide in the Squirtle Squad's cave; however, when Ash noticed that the leader was stuck on his shell, he went back to save it, shielding Squirtle's body with his own. Dazed and with more bombs en route, Ash told Squirtle to save itself. So touched by Ash's loyalty, Squirtle burst into tears, summoned enormous strength, and carried Ash to the safety of the cave. Squirtle then defeated Team Rocket with Water Gun. However, Team Rocket's bombs had started a forest fire, which the Squirtle Squad worked together to put out. After putting out the fire, [[Officer Jenny]] appointed the Squirtle Squad as the official fire fighters of the town. The leader of the Squirtle Squad preferred to join Ash on his journey rather than fight fires alongside his group, as it wanted to repay Ash for saving his life during the bombing. After being accepted, it happily ran into Ash's arms, as the trainer declared he had caught a Squirtle. | When Ash got back with the Super Potion, Team Rocket began bombing the Squirtle Squad after they received Pikachu.

During its time with Ash, Squirtle became one of Ash's three most trustworthy Pokémon, next to Bulbasaur and Pikachu, and it was used very often. It was first used in battle to repel {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s aboard the St. Anne, joining a group of other Squirtle to use Water Gun on the Grunts. Squirtle's {{t|Water}} type and ability to swim helped Ash in a few choice circumstances, notably the escape from St. Anne in ''[[EP016|Pokémon Shipwreck]]''. In ''[[EP019|Tentacool & Tentacruel]]'', {{TP|Brock|Zubat}} carried Squirtle into battle with the giant {{p|Tentacruel}}, but they were easily swatted aside by a giant tentacle. In ''[[EP026|Pokémon Scent-sation!]]'', it helped {{an|Misty}}'s Water Pokémon fight the fire at [[Celadon Gym]]. | During its time with Ash, Squirtle became one of Ash's three most trustworthy Pokémon, next to {{AP|Bulbasaur}} and Pikachu, and it was used very often.

It served as Pikachu's 'steed' when the group [[EP033|competed in a race]] in Ash's place (Ash having taken [[Lara Laramie]]'s place on {{p|Ponyta}}). The two were at a significant disadvantage due to Squirtle's short legs and Pikachu's comparative weight, but in a way this helped as they managed to escape the {{p|Electrode}} {{m|Self-Destruct|self-destruct}}ing. They made ground when they reached the water stage, putting them in the top four with Ash, Misty and Dario. However, intervention from {{TRT}} forced a battle, and the two were put out of the running by a {{m|Glare}} attack from {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}}. | It served as Pikachu's 'steed' when the group [[EP033|competed in a race]] in Ash's place (Ash having taken [[Lara Laramie]]'s place on {{p|Ponyta}}).

In ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]'', Squirtle desperately tried to stop a fuse from detonating explosives, but failed and this resulted in Pikachu, Ash and Team Rocket being trapped underground with hostile Prehistoric Pokémon. Only Squirtle was rescued from the rubble by Misty and {{an|Brock}}. It then did its best to rescue its Trainer. In ''[[EP040|The Battling Eevee Brothers]]'', it was used by Ash when Team Rocket was trying to evolve Eevee. However, it and the attack it planned to use were interrupted when {{TP|Misty|Psyduck}} got in front of it and tried to use a Water Gun of its own before failing. Despite this minor delay, Squirtle was still able to use Water Gun on Team Rocket, sending the group backwards. In ''[[EP043|The March of the Exeggutor Squad]]'', it was used in an attempt to con Melvin into believing Ash was able to magically control water and fire with the use of a box, that inside contained Squirtle, Bulbasaur and Charmander. After being burned by Charmander, the three started to fight and thus, ruined the trick that Ash was pulling at the time. Though accidental, Melvin managed to gain control of Ash and snuck away with him to the [[Leaf Forest]]. Ash was commanded by Melvin to weaken the Exeggutor with his Pokemon, causing Ash to send out Squirtle, Bulbasaur and Charmander. It was used to weaken the Exeggutor as Melvin intended, shooting one in the legs with its Water Gun. After aiding Melvin and the mind-controlled Ash, it became tired and rested with Charmander and Bulbasaur as Melvin expressed enjoyment in having captured the Exeggutor and Team Rocket arrived to steal his Pokemon. Squirtle would participate in defeating the Exeggutor after they proved too much for Melvin to handle. | In ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]'', Squirtle desperately tried to stop a fuse from detonating explosives, but failed and this resulted in Pikachu, Ash and Team Rocket being trapped underground with hostile Prehistoric Pokémon.

In ''[[EP045|The Song of Jigglypuff]]'', it was put to sleep along with the rest of the group's Pokemon by Jigglypuff. In ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]'', it was sent out by Ash to stop a fire set by Team Rocket after they let Meowth light a fuse. Squirtle joined Ash and Pikachu in chasing after the fuse, being chased by Team Rocket and their own Pokemon while doing so. He collides with Team Rocket, their Pokemon and Pikachu before they all fell into Ash. After the dynamite detonated, Squirtle would be the only one to escape from the rumble. He tried to aid Ash and Pikachu in getting out by digging through rocks with Brock and Misty before being joined by Geodude. It would witness their escape and Charmeleon's evolution into Charizard. Squirtle was used to weaken a {{p|Dodrio}} in ''[[EP047|A Chansey Operation]]'', where Ash ordered it to use Water Gun before being followed by Pikachu with his use of Thunderbolt. Though Ash planned to capture the Dodrio after their work, Brock reminded him that they wanted to merely helped the Pokemon. In ''[[EP053|The Purr-fect Hero]]'', Squirtle was sent out by Ash to play with a few children along with the rest of the group's Pokemon, giving one little boy a ride on it's shell. | In ''[[EP045|The Song of Jigglypuff]]'', it was put to sleep along with the rest of the group's Pokemon by Jigglypuff.

Squirtle can be called upon at any time. In ''[[AG189|Gathering the Gang of Four!]]'', it returned to help Ash with his final battle against {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}}, meeting [[May's Squirtle]]. It expressed happiness in seeing Bulbasaur and Pikachu again and departed with the two, Ash and Charizard for the woods. Though tension between the group started to erupt, they settled their differences and sat as Ash recalled his meetings with the four of them. After Pikachu was captured by Team Rocket, Squirtle participated in saving his teammate with the others. In ''[[AG190|Pace - The Final Frontier!]]'', it took on Brandon's {{p|Ninjask}}. Squirtle's Rapid Spin deflected {{m|Aerial Ace}}, but Ninjask gained the upper hand by stalling Squirtle with Double Team and hitting with Aerial Ace whilst Squirtle blasted through the afterimages. Squirtle managed to escape {{m|Sandstorm}} with Hydro Pump, but is blinded by {{m|Sand Attack}} to the eyes, leaving it exposed to Ninjask's attacks. It listens for Ninjask, but Hydro Pump misses. However, the water clears Squirtle's eyes and it Skull Bashes Ninjask dead-on, knocking it out of the battle. | Squirtle can be called upon at any time.

{{p|Solrock}} came out next, but Squirtle's moves were all dodged or blocked by Psychic moves. A missed Rapid Spin saw Squirtle crash into the wall, and it was flattened by {{m|Solar Beam}}, causing it to lose the match. After the battle was won, Squirtle returned to the Squirtle Squad, where it still remains. | {{p|Solrock}} came out next, but Squirtle's moves were all dodged or blocked by Psychic moves.
