Tad in the Original Series

Tad (Japanese: ヒデ Hide) is a character of the day of the Pokémon anime who appeared in Charizard Chills.

Ash and his friends were riding on Lapras when they met Tad. He almost ran them over with his boat, causing Misty to yell at him. Tad explained that he wanted to challenge Ash to a two-on-two battle, and Ash accepted.

Tad sent out his Poliwrath, and managed to defeat both Ash's Pikachu and Charizard, because Charizard refused to listen to Ash. Tad then told Ash that he would accept a rematch with him when he learned how to train his Charizard.

The next day, Pikachu was stolen by Team Rocket. With Charizard now trusting him after the lengths he had gone to while trying to help him, Ash successfully rescued Pikachu. Tad, seeing what happened, asked Ash if he was ready for the rematch. Ash accepted, and was able to defeat Tad's Poliwrath with Charizard, thanks to Charizard using its ability to fly to knock Poliwrath off its feet and subsequently using its trademark Seismic Toss attack.

Tad told Ash that he hoped to meet him in the Orange League, but he has not been seen since his only appearance, except for a brief appearance in a flashback in The Fires of a Red-Hot Reunion! when Ash was thinking back to the time where he battled Tad with his Charizard.
