In ''[[EP004|Challenge of the Samurai]]'', Squirtle appeared in a flashback, though the episode did not reveal which of the three Trainers who left before Ash owned it. [[Samurai]] remembered Gary and the others fondly as they had fought spectacular battles, with Gary's Squirtle defeating his {{p|Metapod}}.

Finally, in ''[[EP269|The Ties That Bind]]'', the fully-evolved {{p|Blastoise}} was revealed to Ash when Gary sent it out to battle {{AP|Heracross}}. In Gary's six on six battle against {{Ash}} in ''[[EP270|Can't Beat the Heat!]]'', its {{m|Hydro Pump}} managed to blast through the rocky terrain and knock out Ash's {{AP|Heracross}} in a single hit. It then stalemated his {{AP|Muk}}, completely nullifying Muk's {{m|Sludge Bomb}} with its {{m|Rapid Spin}}, but unable to gain much purchase with its {{m|Skull Bash}}. After Muk smothered Blastoise with its body, Blastoise used Hydro Pump to blast Muk off and injure it. Ash pulled Muk for the type-advantaged {{AP|Bayleef}}, but Blastoise overcame it as well, deflecting {{m|Razor Leaf}} with Rapid Spin, then {{m|Bite|biting}} its leaf and knocking it out by throwing it aside.

It was recalled until the final bout when it fought against {{AP|Charizard}}, who had overcome {{p|Scizor}} and {{p|Golem}} just as Blastoise had defeated Heracross and Bayleef. With a type advantage and having had a break between battles, Blastoise was quickly on the front foot, deflecting {{m|Flamethrower}} with Rapid Spin and hitting with Hydro Pump and Skull Bash. It neutralized Charizard's aerial advantage by using Hydro Pump to keep it at bay, giving Charizard no opening.
