Ash's Quilava
Ash's Cyndaquil (Japanese: サトシのヒノアラシ Satoshi's Hinoarashi) was the third Pokémon that Ash captured during his travles through Johto. It was first introduced in Good 'Quil Hunting. Ash finds a forest reputed to be populated by Cyndaquil and decides to look for one. Ash was seperated from his friends and chased by Team Rocket into a cave where he found Cyndaquil. After competing with another trainer and Team Rocket for it, Ash was able to capture it.
Personality-wise, Cyndaquil was the "baby" of Ash's group. It started off very weak and lazy, and was easily-tired out. In battles, it usually had to wait for the flame on it's back to ignite before using any Fire-type attacks. Later, Ash trained it so that it could ignite at will.
Cyndaquil was also very speedy in battle, able to dodge attacks with ease. Arguably, it's most notable battle appearance was in the episode Nerves of Steelix when Cyndaquil took down the Gym Leader's undeniably powerful Steelix. As of now, Cyndaquil is relaxing at Oak's Laboratory, along with most of the rest of Ash's Johto Team.
