'''Ash's Charizard''' (Japanese: '''サトシのリザードン''' ''Satoshi's Lizardon'') was the fourth {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that {{Ash}} {{pkmn2|caught}} in the [[Kanto]] [[region]], and his fifth overall.<br />

;With Damian<br />
[[File:Damian Charmander.png|thumb|left|220px|Charmander and Damian]]<br />
Charizard originally belonged to a boastful {{pkmn|Trainer}} named [[Damian]] when it was a Charmander. However, in ''[[EP011|Charmander - The Stray Pokémon]]'', Damian grew tired of Charmander being weak, and so he abandoned him, leaving him on a rocky outcrop and telling him that he would come back later. Charmander's health deteriorated, but he was able to resist capture by {{Ash}} twice before explaining to {{AP|Pikachu}} that he was waiting for Damian. Later, Ash met Damian and learned he never planned to return for Charmander. Outraged but mostly concerned for Charmander, who was now stuck out in the rain loyally awaiting Damian, {{an|Brock}}, Ash, and {{an|Misty}} rushed to his rescue, with Brock carrying him to the [[Pokémon Center]] while Ash sheltered the little remaining tail flame with his coat.<br />
[[File:Ash Charmander waiting for Damian.png|thumb|250px|Charmander waiting in the rain for Damian]]<br />
Despite the care shown to him, Charmander was unwilling to remain at the Pokémon Center and returned to the rock where he had been staying. However, he came across {{TRT}}, who had stolen Pikachu. Charmander ordered them to return Pikachu, and when they ignored him, he blasted them with a Flamethrower to send them running away, leaving behind Pikachu. Ash invited Charmander to join them, but Damian turned up with many {{i|Poké Ball}}s and said that he had intentionally abandoned Charmander to toughen him up. Damian threw a Poké Ball at him, but Charmander deflected the Ball in defiance. Having seen Damian's character, Charmander staunchly refused to return, and when Damian threatened to crush him with all of his other Pokémon, he attacked Damian with a Flamethrower attack alongside Pikachu, who used {{m|Thunder Shock}}. Damian fled, and Charmander happily joined Ash's team instead.<br />
<br />
;With Ash<br />
Charmander immediately became one of Ash's main Pokémon, being used in the [[EP012|very next episode]] as a torch to help Ash through the caves. He also joined a group of other Charmander on the [[S.S. Anne|St. Anne]] in ''[[EP015|Battle Aboard the St. Anne]]'' to repel {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s. [[EP016|Later]], Charmander used Flamethrower to torch a hole in the capsized St. Anne's hull, allowing the group and Team Rocket to escape the ship.<br />
<br />
Charmander was separated from Ash in ''[[EP017|Island of the Giant Pokémon]]''—along with Pikachu, {{AP|Bulbasaur}}, and {{AP|Squirtle}}—after a group of {{p|Gyarados}} sent them flying with {{m|Dragon Rage}}. During the separation, Charmander tried to remain optimistic about their Trainer's whereabouts, despite Bulbasaur's belief that they were abandoned and Squirtle's jokes that he'd been eaten. When Ash's Pokémon came across Team Rocket's Pokémon, who were also separated from their Trainers, the two groups of Pokémon joined forces to look for them. The next day, the group came across a group of giant Pokémon and ended up being chased by them straight to Ash, his friends, and Team Rocket, allowing them to reunite.<br />
<br />
In ''[[EP023|The Tower of Terror]]'', Charmander lit the way through [[Pokémon Tower]] during Ash's search for a {{t|Ghost}}-type Pokémon to challenge the [[Saffron City]] Gym Leader [[Sabrina]]. Although frightened, Charmander tried to be brave for his Trainer. He attempted to use {{m|Leer}} against a {{TP|Sabrina|Haunter}}, but the wild Pokémon laughed off the attempt and attacked Charmander with {{m|Lick}}, forcing Ash to recall him. The Haunter took a liking to Ash and agreed to help him challenge Sabrina in [[EP024|the following episode]], but disappeared when it came time to battle. Ash attempted to send Charmander out to fight, but it refused to step into the ring with Sabrina's {{TP|Sabrina|Kadabra}}.<br />
<br />
In ''[[EP025|Primeape Goes Bananas]]'', Charmander battled a berserk {{AP|Primeape}}. He finally subdued his opponent using {{m|Rage}} and Flamethrower. Charmander made his Gym Battle debut in [[EP026|the next episode]], where he defeated [[Erika]]'s {{p|Weepinbell}} after burning {{m|Razor Leaf}} and then striking a powerful Skull Bash. However, in the next round, the pure stench emitting from her {{p|Gloom}} caused Charmander to choke and faint. Ash called on Charmander's assistance against [[Koga]] in ''[[EP032|The Ninja Poké-Showdown]]''. He went up against Koga's {{p|Venomoth}} briefly before their match was interrupted by Team Rocket. For the official Gym battle, Charmander went up against [[Koga's Golbat]] and defeated it with Ember and Fire Spin, earning Ash the {{Badge|Soul}}.<br />
[[File:Ash Charmeleon disobedience.png|thumb|left|250px|Charmeleon attacking Ash]]<br />
The rise in Charmander's battle [[experience]] reached its peak in ''[[EP043|The March of the Exeggutor Squad]]'', where he helped stop a large number of rampaging {{p|Exeggutor}}. Subsequently, Charmander [[Evolution|evolved]] into {{p|Charmeleon}}. However, in ''[[EP044|The Problem with Paras]]'', it was revealed that Charmeleon was no longer [[obedience|obedient]] to Ash, attacking a {{p|Paras}} when Ash was deliberately trying to lose to help Paras evolve. [[Lacy (EP044)|Cassandra's grandmother]] explained that Charmeleon's skill level had exceeded Ash's, and therefore he did not respect him. Ironically, a rampaging Charmeleon was stopped when Paras, desperately trying to avoid punishment, jabbed at him with a claw. After evolving into {{p|Parasect}}, it put Charmeleon to sleep with {{m|Spore}} and allowed Ash to [[recall]] him. Cassandra's grandmother warned Ash that he needed to learn to control Charmeleon.<br />
<br />
Ash stopped using his disobedient Charmeleon but tried again in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]'' to repel wild [[Fossil|Fossil Pokémon]], which he refused to do. When an {{p|Aerodactyl}} swooped past, knocking Charmeleon over, Charmeleon attempted to fight back. He then jumped up, grabbed the escaping Aerodactyl's tail, and followed it into the open air, but was soon shaken off. Upset, Charmeleon evolved into {{p|Charizard}} and flew after Aerodactyl to avenge his injured pride. When {{an|Jigglypuff}} began singing at Misty's request in a desperate attempt to save Ash, Charizard attempted to block out the sleep-bound effects of the song, to no avail. Nonetheless, he managed to catch Ash and put him on the ground before going to sleep, but unfortunately, retained his disobedience afterward.<br />
[[File:Ash Charizard newly evolved.png|thumb|250px|As a newly evolved {{p|Charizard}}]]<br />
Charizard's disobedience towards his Trainer began to cause Ash some serious problems during his {{pkmn|journey}}, losing the [[Cinnabar Gym]] battle against [[Blaine]] in ''[[EP058|Riddle Me This]]'', as he simply loafed off and allowed {{p|Rhydon}} an easy win after Charizard left the ring, causing Blaine to disqualify him from the match. In [[EP059|the next episode]], Charizard refused to help dam the volcano but changed his mind after seeing Blaine's powerful {{TP|Blaine|Magmar}} contributing. After working together, the duo were left with a burning desire to test each other's strength. Blaine allowed Ash to [[rematch]] him at the volcano's peak, and the two Pokémon seemed evenly matched. Magmar dropped Charizard into the lava, but Charizard regained the upper hand by dazing Magmar with an aerial {{m|Submission}} attack and then knocking it out with his powerful {{m|Seismic Toss}}, earning Ash the {{badge|Volcano}}.<br />
<br />
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 stomped the ground, causing the little Pikachu to be thrown into the air, and flapped his wings against it, blowing it far back. Deeming it an unworthy opponent, Charizard went to sleep, refusing to battle. Due to this, Charizard was disqualified and Ash lost the round, eliminating him from the tournament.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
======Orange Islands======<br />
Ash took Charizard with him to the [[Orange Islands]] despite his refusal to obey him. Ash had noticeably stopped trying to use him in battles, although in ''[[EP093|Navel Maneuvers]]'', Charizard, Pikachu, and Bulbasaur were used in the second round of the [[Navel Gym]] match between Ash and [[Danny]]. Charizard was initially unwilling to participate, and Danny nearly won. However, Charizard inadvertently helped when he tried to use Flamethrower on Ash but missed and carved an ice pillar into a sled. This meant Ash won the round and was able to continue the match.<br />
<br />
In ''[[EP098|A Way Off Day Off]]'', although he did not obey Ash, Charizard recognized the wisdom and formidable experience that [[Tracey's Scyther]] had, and the two teamed up to defeat Team Rocket. Scyther was the only Pokémon in the group whom Charizard respected.<br />
<br />
Charizard continued to ignore Ash during battles, such as in ''[[EP099|The Mandarin Island Miss Match]]''. Charizard took down a boy's {{p|Tauros}} with a single attack before flying away and rampaging the city. Ash was unable to recall him, and only the intervention of [[Lorelei|Prima]] and her {{p|Slowbro}} using {{m|Disable}} allowed Ash to stop Charizard.<br />
[[File:Ash Charizard frozen.png|thumb|left|250px|Being taken care of by Ash]]<br />
In ''[[EP105|Charizard Chills]]'', Charizard battled [[Tad]]'s {{p|Poliwrath}}. He blatantly refused to listen to Ash's commands, continuing to use Flamethrower despite having no effect on Poliwrath. Tad and Poliwrath resisted them until Poliwrath responded with a {{m|Water Gun}} that nearly doused the flame on Charizard's tail. He was then {{status|Freeze|frozen}} over by Poliwrath's {{m|Ice Beam}}, much to Ash's horror. Ash managed to smash the ice encasing Charizard's head, and Tad walked away scornfully, telling Ash that they would have a rematch when he could control Charizard. Ash lit a fire and thawed Charizard out before rubbing Charizard all over to help him regain his body heat. Pikachu pointed out that Ash's hands were rubbed raw, but Ash replied that he didn't mind and redoubled his efforts upon seeing that Charizard's tail flame was so small. Charizard woke up in a panic and tried to attack, but he was so cold that he could not produce a flame and passed out again. Misty provided a blanket, and Tracey kept the fires up while Pikachu watched the flame, but Ash worked throughout the night to help Charizard recover.<br />
<br />
The selfless act reminded Charizard of everything Ash had done for him since he was a Charmander. By morning, Charizard's respect and loyalty to Ash had returned, and he helped Ash rescue Pikachu from Team Rocket. Ash and Pikachu were briefly knocked out during the rescue, and Charizard became so incensed he learned Dragon Rage. In a rematch with Tad and Poliwrath, Charizard learned to dodge Ice Beam and knocked Poliwrath into the air before defeating it with Seismic Toss. <br />
<br />
During the events of ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'', Charizard aided Ash alongside Pikachu and Squirtle in freeing {{DL|Legendary birds (M02)|Moltres}} from [[Lawrence III]]'s clutches and also proceeded to encourage Ash with his task as the Chosen One alongside the rest of his Pokémon. He later aided Ash alongside Squirtle by pulling a discarded metal part. He also countered Moltres's flame blasts alongside Squirtle and Pikachu when the titans tried to attack them. However, he was ultimately forced to return to his Poké Ball after the titans simultaneously created a rift and a wall of ice barring Ash from continuing onward to [[Ice Island]].<br />
<br />
He participated in Ash's [[Kumquat Gym]] battle against [[Luana]] in ''[[EP108|Pokémon Double Trouble]]''. He fought Luana's {{p|Alakazam}} and {{p|Marowak}} alongside Pikachu in the series' first official [[Double Battle]]. The two Pokémon initially had trouble collaborating but eventually managed to work together: Pikachu helped to free Charizard from Alakazam's {{m|Psychic}}, and Charizard caught Pikachu after he was hit by Marowak's {{m|Body Slam}}. Charizard's skillful flying caused Marowak and Alakazam to knock each other out, earning Ash the {{badge|Jade Star}}.<br />
<br />
Charizard was also used in Ash's [[Orange League]] battle against {{OBP|Drake|Orange League}} in ''[[EP112|Enter the Dragonite]]''. Charizard defeated Drake's {{p|Electabuzz}} by blocking its electricity with Fire Spin and knocking it out with Seismic Toss. He also fought {{TP|Drake|Dragonite}}, but was hit by a powerful {{m|Water Gun}} and then {{m|Slam}}med into the ground. After a clash of Dragon Rages, Charizard fainted, but his attacks had begun to wear Dragonite down, paving the way for Pikachu to finish it off and give Ash the victory. Charizard was inducted into the [[Palace of Victory|Orange League Hall of Fame]] with Ash's other Pokémon.<br />
<br />
====={{aniseries|GS}}=====<br />
[[File:ValleyShipping.png|thumb|220px|With Charla]]<br />
Charizard also accompanied Ash on his journey to the [[Johto]] region, although it became apparent that he was unfairly superior to most of Ash's early competition. This was shown especially in ''[[EP118|The Double Trouble Header]]'', where Charizard easily defeated all three of {{an|Casey}}'s Pokémon, despite the disapproval of Misty and Brock. Team Rocket later capitalized on Casey's frustration, calling Charizard an illegal choice by Ash.<br />
<br />
Charizard was used to weaken and help Ash capture a {{AP|Chikorita}} in ''[[EP126|The Chikorita Rescue]]''. His massive size compared to her came into effect when Chikorita ran towards him and tried to attack; Charizard responded by placing his foot out and blowing a small puff of fire after being instructed by Ash to only weaken her. Charizard's puff of fire ended up on Chikorita's leaf and caused her to run around for a short amount of time before using {{m|Vine Whip}} to attack Charizard. Ash recalled Charizard after he and Chikorita fell into a large canvas of rocks.<br />
<br />
In ''[[EP131|Fighting Flyer with Fire]]'', he participated in Ash's first Johto Gym battle against [[Falkner]] at the [[Violet Gym]], where he battled Falkner's {{p|Pidgeot}}. Due to the latter's impressive {{stat|Speed}}, Charizard started at a disadvantage, with Pidgeot's {{m|Whirlwind}} reflecting his Flamethrower onto him. He was then knocked back down by a combination of {{m|Wing Attack}} and {{m|Quick Attack}}. Falkner told Ash to surrender, but Ash refused, and Charizard gained the strength to fight back and fly above Quick Attack. Charizard then baited Pidgeot, spinning around in midair when Pidgeot flew behind him and hitting it with Fire Spin before seizing it and hurling it into the ground with Seismic Toss. Pidgeot was knocked out, and Ash won the {{badge|Zephyr}}.<br />
[[File:Ash leaving Charizard.png|thumb|left|220px|Ash parting ways with Charizard]]<br />
In ''[[EP134|Charizard's Burning Ambitions]]'', Misty criticized Ash for using Charizard too often against fresh young Trainers, making him unbeatable but in an unfair way. Ash then met {{Jo|Liza}}, who taught Ash and Charizard how to fly together. After arriving in the [[Charicific Valley]], Charizard was humiliated by Liza's insults and proudly tried to show off his power. However, he was shown to be smaller and weaker than the wild Charizard who lived there. Charizard continued to pick fights and kept getting himself beaten until Liza locked them out of the Valley, having [[Charla]] throw Charizard into the lake and telling him and Ash to stay away until they had trained and reflected. Team Rocket sympathized with Charizard and helped him to stay awake in the lake, as well as making a false attempt to break into the Valley, allowing Charizard to defeat them and win acclaim from Liza, Charla, and the wild Charizard. Facing an emotional battle, Ash told Charizard that he did not want a weakling on his team and he would be fine without him, forcing Charizard to stay at the Valley to train and become more powerful. He then ran away from the Valley, knowing that if he stopped, he would not be able to say goodbye. Pikachu wished Charizard well and followed Ash, leaving his teammate and friend behind.<br />
<br />
In ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown: Entei]]'', Charizard saw news footage of {{OBP|Entei|M03}} abducting [[Delia Ketchum]] and Ash futilely pursuing them, so Charizard decided to leave the Charicific Valley briefly and flew to [[Greenfield]] in an attempt to help. Later that night, Charizard arrived just in time to catch Ash and Pikachu when Entei knocked them out of a tower. Charizard then battled Entei with Ash riding on its back, but though it was briefly able to send Entei flying with Fire Spin, [[Molly Hale]]'s reality-warping powers granted by the {{OBP|Unown|M03}} tipped the scales too much in Entei's favor, like when crystal spikes would emerge to impede Charizard's flight. Entei eventually pinned Charizard and prepared to hit it with a point-blank Fire Blast, but Molly came to her senses and convinced Entei to stop. Charizard, Pikachu, and Entei worked together to defeat the Unown when their powers went berserk and threatened to destroy everything, but this came at the cost of Entei's existence. With the crisis over, Charizard returned to the Charicific Valley.<br />
<br />
During his time in the Charicific Valley, Charizard took the role of Charla's bodyguard, and the two seem to have a sort of romantic relationship with each other. Liza occasionally visited the [[Dragon Holy Land]] in [[Blackthorn City]] with the two Charizard. One such visit was in ''[[EP253|Great Bowls of Fire!]]'', which coincidentally occurred when Ash was there for his final [[Johto]] Gym battle. Charizard helped Ash, [[Clair]], Pikachu, and {{TP|Clair|Dragonair}} calm the wild {{p|Dragonite}} that was rampaging in the Dragon Holy Land.<br />
<br />
In ''[[EP254|Better Eight Than Never]]'', Charizard battled against Clair's Dragonair in Ash's [[Blackthorn Gym]] rematch. He caused the water in the Gym's pool to evaporate with his Flamethrower and Fire Spin, thus depriving Dragonair of its protection. He then caught Dragonair with Seismic Toss and used Fire Spin to create a flaming twister to wear down Dragonair's defenses before it hit the ground and was knocked out, winning Ash the match and earning him the {{badge|Rising}}. Ash surprised Liza by sending him back for training afterwards, knowing that Charizard still had a lot to learn.<br />
[[File:Ash Charizard Gary Blastoise.png|thumb|250px|Charizard defeating Gary's Blastoise]]<br />
Ash later used Charizard in the [[Silver Conference]] during his fight against {{Gary}} in ''[[EP270|Can't Beat the Heat!]]'', as Brock had made a late-night call to Liza requesting Charizard for the battle. [[Gary's Blastoise]] and {{p|Scizor}} cut Ash's team down to only Charizard, who had to fight three opponents single-handedly. He managed to match Scizor's speed and took advantage of his significant type advantage, defeating Scizor with a single Flamethrower. Despite {{p|Golem}}'s weight preventing Charizard from using his Seismic Toss, Charizard overcame it with a powerful Dragon Rage attack. Charizard struggled against Gary's Blastoise, as it had supreme defensive capabilities and could keep Charizard at bay with Hydro Pump. Thinking outside the box, Ash told Charizard to superheat the field, which forced Blastoise to spend time cooling the molten rock. This created a huge steam cloud and allowed Charizard to seize Blastoise at close range. Blastoise could still use {{m|Withdraw}} to dodge Dragon Rage, so Charizard hurled Blastoise into the ground with Seismic Toss, defeating it and leaving Ash as the winner.<br />
<br />
Charizard was next used in Ash's fight against {{jo|Harrison}} in ''[[EP271|Playing with Fire!]]'', where he went up against [[Harrison's Blaziken]]. Blaziken's powerful legs and ability to maneuver in midair negated Charizard's aerial advantage. Each Pokémon hit hard blows on the other, and their Flamethrowers were shown to be equal in power. Blaziken even managed to get up after a devastating Seismic Toss, while Charizard took a {{m|Blaze Kick}} to the neck and continued on. A final clash between Flamethrower and Dragon Rage knocked both Pokémon down, but only Blaziken could get up, eliminating Ash from the tournament. Charizard once again returned to Charicific Valley. Later, it was revealed that he had injured Blaziken so badly that Harrison had to rest his primary battler in the next round, contributing to his later loss against [[Jon Dickson]].<br />
<br />
====={{aniseries|AG}}=====<br />
Charizard appeared in a flashback to Ash's battle against Harrison in ''[[AG003|There's no Place Like Hoenn]]''.<br />
[[File:AG136.png|thumb|left|220px|Charizard vs Articuno]]<br />
In ''[[AG136|The Symbol Life]]'', he returned for Ash's first {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} battle, where he took on [[Noland's Articuno]] at the {{gdis|Battle Factory|III}}. Ash and Charizard flew together, where Charizard demonstrated a far improved Flamethrower and that he had learned {{m|Dragon Breath}}. In battle, he showed he was a match even for the Legendary Pokémon, using Flamethrower to burn through {{m|Ice Beam}} and strike Articuno. However, Articuno did not take much damage from Flamethrower or Dragon Breath, blinding Charizard with {{m|Mist}} and then knocking him to the ground with {{m|Steel Wing}}. Articuno then inflicted serious damage with {{m|Water Pulse}} and froze Charizard's wing tip, crippling his movements. Finally, Charizard used Overheat, which he had just learned, to melt the ice. He then caught Articuno as it tried to use Steel Wing and struck with a Seismic Toss. Charizard collapsed but managed to get up just as Articuno passed out, giving Ash and Charizard the victory and earning Ash the [[Symbol|Knowledge Symbol]].<br />
<br />
Charizard also battled alongside Pikachu, Bulbasaur, and Squirtle in a four-on-four battle against {{an|Brandon}} at the [[Battle Pyramid]] in ''[[AG189|Gathering the Gang of Four!]]'', where he went up against {{p|Dusclops}}. Charizard had been training since his battle with Articuno and learned Steel Wing, but was put at a disadvantage when Dusclops used {{m|Confuse Ray}} and {{m|Mean Look}}, [[Escape prevention|forcing Charizard to keep battling]] in his baffled state, all the while taking damage from {{m|Will-O-Wisp}}. Finally, Charizard snapped out of his confusion and attacked with Dragon Breath, wearing both Pokémon down. However, an attempt to use Seismic Toss to finish the match cost Ash dearly, as the {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon simply dissipated and re-emerged safely at a distance, where a {{m|Shadow Punch}} took Charizard out and put Ash at a supreme disadvantage. However, Pikachu, Bulbasaur, and Squirtle managed to win the battle and the [[Symbol|Brave Symbol]]. After the match against Brandon, Charizard returned to Charicific Valley.<br />
<br />
====={{aniseries|BW}}=====<br />
======Unova======<br />
In ''[[BW116|The Fires of a Red-Hot Reunion!]]'', Ash and {{ashfr}} attended a [[Kanto Fair]], where one of the presentations featured the local [[first partner Pokémon]], involving a live-action show with a Charmander. This made Ash remember his own Charmander, prompting him to tell {{an|Iris}}, {{an|Cilan}}, and {{an|N}} about his Charizard. Filled with a desire to see his old friend again, Ash called {{an|Professor Oak}}, who, in exchange for [[Ash's Unfezant]], arranged to have Charizard sent over to him. While being introduced to everyone, Charizard immediately started a fiery rivalry with [[Iris's Dragonite]], which encouraged Ash and Iris to have a battle with their two stubborn Pokémon. During the battle, Charizard was shown to have learned Wing Attack, Slash, and Dragon Tail. He quickly gained the upper hand as not even Dragonite's Dragon Rush was able to hurt him, while Dragonite was taking serious damage from Charizard's Dragon Tail. Before it could be settled, the battle was called off by N. Ash then corrected Iris's misconception that Charizard was a {{t|Dragon}} type, upsetting her since she'd wanted to train one as well, and invited Charizard to rejoin his active team, which he happily agreed to.<br />
<br />
In ''[[BW117|Team Plasma's Pokémon Manipulation!]]'', Charizard was called out by Ash to once again fight Iris's Dragonite, who was this time being controlled by [[Colress]].<br />
[[File:Ash Charizard and Pignite.png|thumb|250px|Charizard and {{AP|Pignite}}]]<br />
In ''[[BW119|Meowth, Colress and Team Rivalry!]]'', Charizard was called out to help [[Ash's Pignite]], who had difficulty breathing through his nostrils because something was blocking it. Charizard lifted him up and tossed him to help, but it did not work. Eventually, the blockage was removed, much to everyone's delight.<br />
<br />
Later, in ''[[BW121|Team Plasma and the Awakening Ceremony!]]'', Charizard was sent out alongside the rest of Ash's team to help Ash and N dig up to the surface of the {{an|White Ruins}} after they had fallen into a pit. Charizard cleverly improvised a spinning Dragon Tail to help {{AP|Krookodile}} {{m|dig}} through the earth that {{AP|Oshawott}} had softened with {{m|Hydro Pump}}. While battling Team Plasma again, Charizard withstood many of Team Plasma's attacks before Pignite came to his aid. The two then launched an incredibly powerful double Flamethrower at Team Plasma's Pokémon. However, when Colress turned his mind control machine on them, Charizard was quickly recalled to his Poké Ball, along with Ash's other Pokémon.<br />
<br />
======Decolore Islands======<br />
[[File:Ash and Charizard.png|thumb|left|250px|Charizard and Ash]]<br />
In ''[[BW135|Mystery on a Deserted Island!]]'', Ash used Charizard to battle a wild {{p|Ninetales}} on [[Frond Island]].<br />
<br />
In ''[[BW136|A Pokémon of a Different Color!]],'' Charizard and Iris's Dragonite set off to search for Clair's Dragonite, who had been separated from Clair on an [[Cave Island|island]] in the [[Decolore Islands|Decolore Archipelago]]. After Iris's Dragonite found Clair's, Charizard brought the group to them, only to find the pair squabbling. Although Charizard attempted to stop the fighting, the two Dragonite knocked him away. Later on, Charizard continued to act as a peacemaker unsuccessfully; Ash eventually thanked him for trying and returned Charizard to his Poké Ball.<br />
<br />
In ''[[BW141|Best Wishes Until We Meet Again!]]'', Charizard, along with all of Ash's Pokémon, was stolen by Team Rocket. Later, after recovering all of their Pokémon, Ash used Charizard to attack [[Jessie's Frillish]], who was using {{m|Bubble Beam}} on Ash and company. Charizard easily defeated Frillish with Wing Attack and scorched [[James's Amoonguss]] with a supereffective Flamethrower. Charizard, alongside Pikachu, {{TP|Iris|Axew}}, and {{TP|Cilan|Pansage}}, subsequently sent Team Rocket blasting off.<br />
<br />
Charizard was reunited with all of Ash's Unova Pokémon at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] in ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]''. He joined the others in a group attack on Team Rocket with his Flamethrower to send them blasting off for the last time in ''Pokémon the Series: Black & White''. Charizard was left at the lab before Ash set off for the [[Kalos]] region. He later posed with the rest of Ash's Pokémon in a group photo with him.<br />

Charizard reappeared in a flashback in ''[[SM042|Alola, Kanto!]]''.<br />
<br />
====={{aniseries|JN}}=====<br />
[[File:Ash Kanto Pokémon JN132.png|thumb|250px|Charizard encouraging Pikachu in a vision]]<br />
In ''[[JN068|Advice to Goh!]]'', Charizard reunited with Ash during his visit to Professor Oak's Laboratory with [[Goh]]. Sometime before, Charizard had battled against [[Ash's Infernape]] before he had left the lab to battle {{p|Moltres}}.<br />
<br />
Charizard, along with the rest of Ash's Pokémon at the lab, reunited with Ash in ''[[JN114|Friends, Rivals, Lend Me Your Spirit!]]''. During the visit, he helped train [[Ash's Gengar]] to learn {{m|Will-O-Wisp}}, and later watched the battle between Ash and [[Paul]]. Before Ash left, he posed with the rest of Ash's Pokémon in a group photo with him.<br />
<br />
From ''[[JN118|Battling as Hard as Stone!]]'' onwards, Charizard watched Ash's [[Masters Eight Tournament]] matches against {{an|Steven Stone|Steven}}, {{an|Cynthia}}, and {{an|Leon}}. In ''[[JN132|Partners in Time!]]'', Charizard appeared as a vision to Pikachu during his battle against [[Leon's Charizard]]. After Ash won the battle, Charizard joined the rest of Ash's Pokémon at the lab in celebrating their Trainer's victory.<br />
[[File:Ash Bulbasaur Charizard Squirtle.png|thumb|left|250px|Charizard, Bulbasaur, and Squirtle]]<br />
In ''[[JN135|Heroes Unite!]]'', Charizard, along with the rest of the Pokémon at the lab, welcomed Ash back to Pallet Town after his victory over Leon.<br />
<br />
In ''[[JN141|A Squad's Worth of Passion!]]'', Ash and his friends discovered Squirtle had become a performer, and Charizard and Bulbasaur were sent out to enjoy the show. They tried to meet up with Squirtle directly after the performance but were misled by Team Rocket and left. They were later able to meet up with Squirtle at their hotel, but Squirtle, upset over the idea that its friends no longer cared for it, attacked them. Charizard didn't hesitate to fight back, with Bulbasaur trying and failing to stop it. Ash broke it up, and Charizard and Bulbasaur left feeling upset. Later, a fire broke out at a warehouse, and the group found the [[Squirtle Squad]] giving their all to stop it. Deciding their feud wasn't worth it, Charizard and Bulbasaur joined the Tiny Turtle Pokémon in putting it out and rescuing the Pokémon trapped by the flames. Afterward, [[Officer Jenny]] arrived to take the Squirtle Squad to their next assignment, but not before sharing a heartfelt goodbye with the group.<br />
<br />
In ''[[JN147|The Rainbow and the Pokémon Master!]]'', Charizard assisted Ash in looking for a missing Charmander around Oak's lab, but to no avail.<br />
{{-}}<br />
<br />
====Personality and characteristics====<br />
{{bulbanews|Personality & Development: Ash's Charizard}}<br />
The emotional turmoil of being abandoned by [[Damian]] defined Charizard when he was a Charmander. Despite the scorn he received from Damian, he loyally waited outside for his return, convinced that he had a good relationship when, in fact, none had existed. Only a violent confrontation revealed the unhealthy nature of his relationship with Damian. Charmander struggled with this abandonment-in ''[[EP017|Island of the Giant Pokémon]]'', he became discouraged when {{AP|Bulbasaur}} suggested that Ash had abandoned them all. Charmander was markedly shy and shown to be anxious, though his confidence quickly grew under Ash's guidance.<br />
<br />
[[File:Ash Charizard disobedience.png|thumb|left|250px|Charizard refusing to battle against [[Sparky]]]]<br />
Despite being one of Ash's most often used Pokémon, Charmander's [[Evolution]] saw Charmeleon grow distant from Ash, scorning all of his former friends and seeking power alone. Charmeleon had become like Damian, obsessed with power and reputation while ignoring the value of friendship, loyalty, and kindness. Charmeleon's battle with {{p|Aerodactyl}} in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]'' was purely based on a bruised ego, and Charizard's later battles with {{TP|Blaine|Magmar}} and [[Zippo]] were solely out of grudging respect for their battling ability, and in the case of the post-league celebration, the destruction of the food. Charizard's unhealthy disobedience even cost Ash the Indigo League when he refused to battle any Pokémon he didn't think was worthy. Nevertheless, he did retain some degree of loyalty to his master and his fellow Pokémon, as the aforementioned incident with Aerodactyl had Charizard barely swooping in to save Ash before completely falling asleep while being affected by Jigglypuff's singing and also saving Pikachu after Team Rocket blasted off before resuming his rampage, with ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'' even having Charizard crying for Ash when he ended up petrified.<br />
<br />
[[File:Ash Charizard Iris Dragonite.png|thumb|250px|Charizard's rivalry with Iris's Dragonite]]<br />
Once Ash made the selfless act to save Charizard from freezing in ''[[EP105|Charizard Chills]]'', Charizard finally shook off the poisonous personality traits left by Damian and regained full loyalty to Ash. His ability to work as part of a team was still hampered, but when working together with {{AP|Pikachu}} to defeat [[Luana]], he finally managed to overcome that difficulty. Since this point, Charizard has been willing to assist Ash in any battle, ranging from [[Casey's Chikorita]] to [[Falkner]]'s Pidgeot with no complaint. However, Charizard maintained the rebellious Flamethrower attacks as a sign of affection for Ash, and while Charizard was loyal, his love of power and reputation remained. This was shown significantly in his departure in ''[[EP134|Charizard's Burning Ambitions]]'', where he brashly challenged each of the wild Charizard at [[Charicific Valley]] even though he was defeated every time.<br />
<br />
Despite retaining his fiery nature and fierce battling spirit, Charizard's return to Ash's regular command in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]'' showed that he had significantly matured throughout {{jo|Liza}}'s training regime. This was displayed in ''[[BW136|A Pokémon of a Different Color!]]'', where he attempted to act as a peacemaker between [[Clair]] and {{an|Iris}}'s two squabbling {{p|Dragonite}}. During his time at Professor Oak's lab, Charizard became very good friends with Ash's Fire types and is usually seen hanging out with them, as shown in ''[[JN068|Advice to Goh!]]'' and ''[[JN114|Friends, Rivals, Lend Me Your Spirit!]]''. Charizard also befriended {{AP|Gengar}} when it visited the lab.<br />

===''I Choose You!''===<br />
[[File:Ash Charizard M20.png|thumb|250px|Ash's Charizard in ''I Choose You!'']]<br />
Charizard appeared in ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'', which is set in [[I Choose You! trilogy|a different continuity]] from {{aniseries|PTS}}. In this continuity, it was the second Pokémon {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|M20|Ash}} caught on his journey.<br />
[[File:Cross and Charmander.png|left|thumb|250px|As a Charmander with Cross]]<br />
As a {{p|Charmander}}, it originally belonged to a Pokémon Trainer named [[Cross]]. Cross deemed Charmander too weak however, and abandoned it and told it to stop following him. Charmander was eventually found in the rain by Ash and [[Verity]]. After arguing briefly with Cross over his decision to abandon Charmander, they took it and went inside a cave to seek shelter from the rain. There, they found [[Sorrel]], who brought Charmander back to good health.<br />
<br />
The following day, Charmander had fully recovered and Ash offered it to join his team. Charmander accepted, despite still feeling loyalty towards Cross. Charmander joined Ash, Verity, and Sorrel on their journey towards the [[Mount Tensei|Raizen Mountains]] to meet {{an|Ho-Oh}}. After a battle against a {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s {{p|Jigglypuff}}, Charmander evolved into Charmeleon. Soon after, Ash encountered Cross again and started a battle with him. Ash used Charmeleon against its former Trainer and his {{p|Incineroar}}. Charmeleon proved to be no match for Incineroar however and was defeated. Ash started to question himself and faulted the loss on Charmeleon, but later apologized when he realized his errors.<br />
<br />
Finally reaching the Raizen Mountains, Ash tried to place his [[Rainbow Wing]] atop Rainbow Rock. He was stopped by Cross however, who wanted to take the Rainbow Wing for himself. Ash battled Cross again, once again using his Charmeleon against Cross and his Incineroar. In the midst of a fierce battle, Charmeleon evolved into Charizard, and this time, it managed to defeat it. Distraught of losing against his former Pokémon, Cross started to realize the error in his ways.<br />
<br />
====Personality and characteristics====<br />
[[File:Ash and Charizard M20.png|250px|thumb|Charizard and Ash]]<br />
Unlike his animated series counterpart, Charizard has always been obedient to Ash, as well as retaining loyalty to his former Trainer Cross so that even after being assaulted by him, Charmander wanted to return to travel alongside him.<br />
<br />
Charizard over time ended up becoming a powerhouse on Ash's team, being able to beat Cross's {{p|Incineroar}} and thus show all his power to his former Trainer.<br />

===Ash & Pikachu===<br />
[[File:Ash Charizard AP.png|thumb|200px|Charizard in [[Ash & Pikachu]]]]<br />
Ash's Charizard appeared in ''[[SP33|Off To The Battle Frontier!!]]''. It was excited to see Ash when he called it over as it was sent for training earlier. After arrival, Ash sent it out to battle [[Noland's Articuno]]. During the battle, it struggled to keep up with Articuno despite the type advantage due to the fact that Articuno's speed was quicker than Charizard's in terms of reflexes. However, Charizard focused in on where Articuno was going to strike next and defeated it, earning Ash the Knowledge Symbol.<br />

===The Electric Tale of Pikachu===<br />
[[File:Ash Charizard EToP.png|thumb|230px|left|Charizard in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]]]<br />
{{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]].<br />
<br />
Despite this difference, Ash is still seen owning a Charmander, which first appeared in ''[[ET08|You Gotta Have Friends]]''. Charmander's capture was not shown in the manga, instead, it was explained that "Ash has been busy since the last comic!" when Charmander first appeared from its {{i|Poké Ball}}. Charmander was first seen when a lonely Ash decided to play with his other Pokémon while {{AP|Pikachu|Pikachu (EToP)}} was off playing with a group of Pikachu. Charmander simply set Ash on fire while his {{p|Oddish}} {{status|paralysis|paralyzed}} him with {{m|Stun Spore}}.<br />
<br />
In ''[[ET12|Welcome to the Big Leagues]]'', at the 88th [[Indigo Plateau Conference|Pokémon League]], Ash presented his Charmander, now fully evolved into a Charizard, to {{an|Brock}} and {{an|Misty}}. Despite the fact that Ash wanted to use Charizard as a secret weapon, Charizard refused to listen to him unless he held a special flare that burned with the fire of a {{p|Moltres}}. Due to the fact that the flare burns out quickly and Ash could lose points for using a prop, he decided to not use it and rely on his other Pokémon instead.<br />
<br />
[[File:Ash Charizard violent.png|thumb|230px|Charizard violently attacking Ritchie's Charley]]<br />
In ''[[ET13|The Indigo Finals]]'', during the fifth round of the Pokémon League, Ash sent out Charizard as his third and last Pokémon in his match against [[Ritchie]]. Ritchie countered with his own Charizard, named [[Zippo|Charley]]. Though evenly matched at first, Charizard went into a violent frenzy and mercilessly started scratching, biting, and burning Charley. Ash attempted to stop this mauling with his flare, but Charizard ignored it and continued to attack Charley, heavily injuring it and splattering its blood everywhere. Refusing to keep the fight going on this way, Ash made the choice to [[recall]] Charizard. Since Charizard had left the battle and Charley was still standing despite its injuries, Ritchie was declared the winner, ending Ash's run in the Pokémon League.<br />
<br />
Charizard appeared again in ''[[ET16|You Bet Your Wife]]'', where Ash decided to use it in a dance competition in his Gym battle against [[Rudy]]. After flying around in circles, Charizard set Ash aflame as it did in its first appearance.<br />
<br />
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.<br />

====Mirage Pokémon Lugia's Explosive Birth====<br />
Ash's Charizard first appeared in {{ma|Mirage Pokémon Lugia's Explosive Birth}}. Ash sent it out along with {{AP|Squirtle}} and {{AP|Bulbasaur}} to free the {{OBP|legendary birds|M02}} from their prisons.<br />
<br />
====Genesect and the Legend Awakened====<br />
Charizard reappeared in {{ma|Genesect and the Legend Awakened}}, where Ash sent it out along with his other Pokémon while he was in [[Pokémon Hills]].<br />

====''I Choose You!''====<br />
[[File:Ash Charizard M20 manga.png|thumb|200px|Charizard in ''{{ma|I Choose You!}}'']]<br />
Charizard appeared in {{ma|I Choose You!}}. It was first shown as a Charmander where [[Cross]] got it from {{an|Professor Oak}}. Later, Cross was revealed to have abandoned Charmander when {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|M20|Ash}} encountered it out in the rain. After Ash and [[Verity]] took Charmander in a cave to recover, [[Sorrel]] helped it back to good health.<br />
<br />
The next day, Ash offered Charmander to join his team and Charmander accepted. It then battled a {{p|Jigglypuff}} and defeated it, which resulted in it evolving into a Charmeleon. Charmeleon battled Cross's {{p|Incineroar}}. During the battle, it kept on damaging Incineroar, something that Cross allowed. However, it turned out to be part of Cross's plan as Incineroar's strength increased by every attack Charmeleon threw at it. Because of that, Incineroar was able to defeat Charmeleon with {{m|Cross Chop}}.<br />
<br />
After Ash and {{ashfr}} reached the [[Mount Tensei|Raizen Mountains]] and encountered Cross again, Charmeleon was used in the rematch against Cross's Incineroar. During the battle, Charmeleon evolved into Charizard and defeated Incineroar. When {{OBP|Marshadow|M20}} became corrupted by the evil tainting it because of Cross placing the Rainbow Wing on top of the rock instead of Ash, Charizard protected Cross from an attack coming from {{p|Lycanroc}} when Marshadow possessed it and took part in the battle against the other Pokémon possessed by Marshadow. After Ash disappeared from existence because of a combined attack coming from Marshadow's army, Charizard and the others were saddened to see that happen. Charizard became happy when Ash was revived.<br />

Charizard, as a Charmander, belonged to a Trainer named [[Cross]]. Cross released Charmander as he deemed it weak and then Ash eventually caught Charmander. Later, Charmander evolved into a Charmeleon.<br />
<br />
In [[ICYR3]], Charmeleon was sent out to take on three {{p|Nidoking}} at [[Mount Tensei]]. Charmeleon's {{m|Flamethrower}} caused the Nidoking to go running. Later, it was used to battle Cross's Incineroar. During the battle, Cross's Incineroar got the upper hand but Charmeleon evolved into Charizard when it was about to lose. Using its newfound power, Charizard defeated Incineroar with Seismic Toss. Charizard then faced off against Cross's Lycanroc but the outcome was unknown.<br />

;With Damian<br />
[[File:Damian Charmander.png|thumb|left|220px|Charmander and Damian]]<br />
Charizard originally belonged to a boastful {{pkmn|Trainer}} named [[Damian]] when it was a Charmander. However, in ''[[EP011|Charmander - The Stray Pokémon]]'', Damian grew tired of Charmander being weak, and so he abandoned him, leaving him on a rocky outcrop and telling him that he would come back later. Charmander's health deteriorated, but he was able to resist capture by {{Ash}} twice before explaining to {{AP|Pikachu}} that he was waiting for Damian. Later, Ash met Damian and learned he never planned to return for Charmander. Outraged but mostly concerned for Charmander, who was now stuck out in the rain loyally awaiting Damian, {{an|Brock}}, Ash, and {{an|Misty}} rushed to his rescue, with Brock carrying him to the [[Pokémon Center]] while Ash sheltered the little remaining tail flame with his coat.<br />
[[File:Ash Charmander waiting for Damian.png|thumb|250px|Charmander waiting in the rain for Damian]]<br />
Despite the care shown to him, Charmander was unwilling to remain at the Pokémon Center and returned to the rock where he had been staying. However, he came across {{TRT}}, who had stolen Pikachu. Charmander ordered them to return Pikachu, and when they ignored him, he blasted them with a Flamethrower to send them running away, leaving behind Pikachu. Ash invited Charmander to join them, but Damian turned up with many {{i|Poké Ball}}s and said that he had intentionally abandoned Charmander to toughen him up. Damian threw a Poké Ball at him, but Charmander deflected the Ball in defiance. Having seen Damian's character, Charmander staunchly refused to return, and when Damian threatened to crush him with all of his other Pokémon, he attacked Damian with a Flamethrower attack alongside Pikachu, who used {{m|Thunder Shock}}. Damian fled, and Charmander happily joined Ash's team instead.<br />
<br />
;With Ash<br />
Charmander immediately became one of Ash's main Pokémon, being used in the [[EP012|very next episode]] as a torch to help Ash through the caves. He also joined a group of other Charmander on the [[S.S. Anne|St. Anne]] in ''[[EP015|Battle Aboard the St. Anne]]'' to repel {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s. [[EP016|Later]], Charmander used Flamethrower to torch a hole in the capsized St. Anne's hull, allowing the group and Team Rocket to escape the ship.<br />
<br />
Charmander was separated from Ash in ''[[EP017|Island of the Giant Pokémon]]''—along with Pikachu, {{AP|Bulbasaur}}, and {{AP|Squirtle}}—after a group of {{p|Gyarados}} sent them flying with {{m|Dragon Rage}}. During the separation, Charmander tried to remain optimistic about their Trainer's whereabouts, despite Bulbasaur's belief that they were abandoned and Squirtle's jokes that he'd been eaten. When Ash's Pokémon came across Team Rocket's Pokémon, who were also separated from their Trainers, the two groups of Pokémon joined forces to look for them. The next day, the group came across a group of giant Pokémon and ended up being chased by them straight to Ash, his friends, and Team Rocket, allowing them to reunite.<br />
<br />
In ''[[EP023|The Tower of Terror]]'', Charmander lit the way through [[Pokémon Tower]] during Ash's search for a {{t|Ghost}}-type Pokémon to challenge the [[Saffron City]] Gym Leader [[Sabrina]]. Although frightened, Charmander tried to be brave for his Trainer. He attempted to use {{m|Leer}} against a {{TP|Sabrina|Haunter}}, but the wild Pokémon laughed off the attempt and attacked Charmander with {{m|Lick}}, forcing Ash to recall him. The Haunter took a liking to Ash and agreed to help him challenge Sabrina in [[EP024|the following episode]], but disappeared when it came time to battle. Ash attempted to send Charmander out to fight, but it refused to step into the ring with Sabrina's {{TP|Sabrina|Kadabra}}.<br />
<br />
In ''[[EP025|Primeape Goes Bananas]]'', Charmander battled a berserk {{AP|Primeape}}. He finally subdued his opponent using {{m|Rage}} and Flamethrower. Charmander made his Gym Battle debut in [[EP026|the next episode]], where he defeated [[Erika]]'s {{p|Weepinbell}} after burning {{m|Razor Leaf}} and then striking a powerful Skull Bash. However, in the next round, the pure stench emitting from her {{p|Gloom}} caused Charmander to choke and faint. Ash called on Charmander's assistance against [[Koga]] in ''[[EP032|The Ninja Poké-Showdown]]''. He went up against Koga's {{p|Venomoth}} briefly before their match was interrupted by Team Rocket. For the official Gym battle, Charmander went up against [[Koga's Golbat]] and defeated it with Ember and Fire Spin, earning Ash the {{Badge|Soul}}.<br />
[[File:Ash Charmeleon disobedience.png|thumb|left|250px|Charmeleon attacking Ash]]<br />
The rise in Charmander's battle [[experience]] reached its peak in ''[[EP043|The March of the Exeggutor Squad]]'', where he helped stop a large number of rampaging {{p|Exeggutor}}. Subsequently, Charmander [[Evolution|evolved]] into {{p|Charmeleon}}. However, in ''[[EP044|The Problem with Paras]]'', it was revealed that Charmeleon was no longer [[obedience|obedient]] to Ash, attacking a {{p|Paras}} when Ash was deliberately trying to lose to help Paras evolve. [[Lacy (EP044)|Cassandra's grandmother]] explained that Charmeleon's skill level had exceeded Ash's, and therefore he did not respect him. Ironically, a rampaging Charmeleon was stopped when Paras, desperately trying to avoid punishment, jabbed at him with a claw. After evolving into {{p|Parasect}}, it put Charmeleon to sleep with {{m|Spore}} and allowed Ash to [[recall]] him. Cassandra's grandmother warned Ash that he needed to learn to control Charmeleon.<br />
<br />
Ash stopped using his disobedient Charmeleon but tried again in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]'' to repel wild [[Fossil|Fossil Pokémon]], which he refused to do. When an {{p|Aerodactyl}} swooped past, knocking Charmeleon over, Charmeleon attempted to fight back. He then jumped up, grabbed the escaping Aerodactyl's tail, and followed it into the open air, but was soon shaken off. Upset, Charmeleon evolved into {{p|Charizard}} and flew after Aerodactyl to avenge his injured pride. When {{an|Jigglypuff}} began singing at Misty's request in a desperate attempt to save Ash, Charizard attempted to block out the sleep-bound effects of the song, to no avail. Nonetheless, he managed to catch Ash and put him on the ground before going to sleep, but unfortunately, retained his disobedience afterward.<br />
[[File:Ash Charizard newly evolved.png|thumb|250px|As a newly evolved {{p|Charizard}}]]<br />
Charizard's disobedience towards his Trainer began to cause Ash some serious problems during his {{pkmn|journey}}, losing the [[Cinnabar Gym]] battle against [[Blaine]] in ''[[EP058|Riddle Me This]]'', as he simply loafed off and allowed {{p|Rhydon}} an easy win after Charizard left the ring, causing Blaine to disqualify him from the match. In [[EP059|the next episode]], Charizard refused to help dam the volcano but changed his mind after seeing Blaine's powerful {{TP|Blaine|Magmar}} contributing. After working together, the duo were left with a burning desire to test each other's strength. Blaine allowed Ash to [[rematch]] him at the volcano's peak, and the two Pokémon seemed evenly matched. Magmar dropped Charizard into the lava, but Charizard regained the upper hand by dazing Magmar with an aerial {{m|Submission}} attack and then knocking it out with his powerful {{m|Seismic Toss}}, earning Ash the {{badge|Volcano}}.<br />
<br />
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 stomped the ground, causing the little Pikachu to be thrown into the air, and flapped his wings against it, blowing it far back. Deeming it an unworthy opponent, Charizard went to sleep, refusing to battle. Due to this, Charizard was disqualified and Ash lost the round, eliminating him from the tournament.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
======Orange Islands======<br />
Ash took Charizard with him to the [[Orange Islands]] despite his refusal to obey him. Ash had noticeably stopped trying to use him in battles, although in ''[[EP093|Navel Maneuvers]]'', Charizard, Pikachu, and Bulbasaur were used in the second round of the [[Navel Gym]] match between Ash and [[Danny]]. Charizard was initially unwilling to participate, and Danny nearly won. However, Charizard inadvertently helped when he tried to use Flamethrower on Ash but missed and carved an ice pillar into a sled. This meant Ash won the round and was able to continue the match.<br />
<br />
In ''[[EP098|A Way Off Day Off]]'', although he did not obey Ash, Charizard recognized the wisdom and formidable experience that [[Tracey's Scyther]] had, and the two teamed up to defeat Team Rocket. Scyther was the only Pokémon in the group whom Charizard respected.<br />
<br />
Charizard continued to ignore Ash during battles, such as in ''[[EP099|The Mandarin Island Miss Match]]''. Charizard took down a boy's {{p|Tauros}} with a single attack before flying away and rampaging the city. Ash was unable to recall him, and only the intervention of [[Lorelei|Prima]] and her {{p|Slowbro}} using {{m|Disable}} allowed Ash to stop Charizard.<br />
[[File:Ash Charizard frozen.png|thumb|left|250px|Being taken care of by Ash]]<br />
In ''[[EP105|Charizard Chills]]'', Charizard battled [[Tad]]'s {{p|Poliwrath}}. He blatantly refused to listen to Ash's commands, continuing to use Flamethrower despite having no effect on Poliwrath. Tad and Poliwrath resisted them until Poliwrath responded with a {{m|Water Gun}} that nearly doused the flame on Charizard's tail. He was then {{status|Freeze|frozen}} over by Poliwrath's {{m|Ice Beam}}, much to Ash's horror. Ash managed to smash the ice encasing Charizard's head, and Tad walked away scornfully, telling Ash that they would have a rematch when he could control Charizard. Ash lit a fire and thawed Charizard out before rubbing Charizard all over to help him regain his body heat. Pikachu pointed out that Ash's hands were rubbed raw, but Ash replied that he didn't mind and redoubled his efforts upon seeing that Charizard's tail flame was so small. Charizard woke up in a panic and tried to attack, but he was so cold that he could not produce a flame and passed out again. Misty provided a blanket, and Tracey kept the fires up while Pikachu watched the flame, but Ash worked throughout the night to help Charizard recover.<br />
<br />
The selfless act reminded Charizard of everything Ash had done for him since he was a Charmander. By morning, Charizard's respect and loyalty to Ash had returned, and he helped Ash rescue Pikachu from Team Rocket. Ash and Pikachu were briefly knocked out during the rescue, and Charizard became so incensed he learned Dragon Rage. In a rematch with Tad and Poliwrath, Charizard learned to dodge Ice Beam and knocked Poliwrath into the air before defeating it with Seismic Toss. <br />
<br />
During the events of ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'', Charizard aided Ash alongside Pikachu and Squirtle in freeing {{DL|Legendary birds (M02)|Moltres}} from [[Lawrence III]]'s clutches and also proceeded to encourage Ash with his task as the Chosen One alongside the rest of his Pokémon. He later aided Ash alongside Squirtle by pulling a discarded metal part. He also countered Moltres's flame blasts alongside Squirtle and Pikachu when the titans tried to attack them. However, he was ultimately forced to return to his Poké Ball after the titans simultaneously created a rift and a wall of ice barring Ash from continuing onward to [[Ice Island]].<br />
<br />
He participated in Ash's [[Kumquat Gym]] battle against [[Luana]] in ''[[EP108|Pokémon Double Trouble]]''. He fought Luana's {{p|Alakazam}} and {{p|Marowak}} alongside Pikachu in the series' first official [[Double Battle]]. The two Pokémon initially had trouble collaborating but eventually managed to work together: Pikachu helped to free Charizard from Alakazam's {{m|Psychic}}, and Charizard caught Pikachu after he was hit by Marowak's {{m|Body Slam}}. Charizard's skillful flying caused Marowak and Alakazam to knock each other out, earning Ash the {{badge|Jade Star}}.<br />
<br />
Charizard was also used in Ash's [[Orange League]] battle against {{OBP|Drake|Orange League}} in ''[[EP112|Enter the Dragonite]]''. Charizard defeated Drake's {{p|Electabuzz}} by blocking its electricity with Fire Spin and knocking it out with Seismic Toss. He also fought {{TP|Drake|Dragonite}}, but was hit by a powerful {{m|Water Gun}} and then {{m|Slam}}med into the ground. After a clash of Dragon Rages, Charizard fainted, but his attacks had begun to wear Dragonite down, paving the way for Pikachu to finish it off and give Ash the victory. Charizard was inducted into the [[Palace of Victory|Orange League Hall of Fame]] with Ash's other Pokémon.<br />
<br />

[[File:ValleyShipping.png|thumb|220px|With Charla]]<br />
Charizard also accompanied Ash on his journey to the [[Johto]] region, although it became apparent that he was unfairly superior to most of Ash's early competition. This was shown especially in ''[[EP118|The Double Trouble Header]]'', where Charizard easily defeated all three of {{an|Casey}}'s Pokémon, despite the disapproval of Misty and Brock. Team Rocket later capitalized on Casey's frustration, calling Charizard an illegal choice by Ash.<br />
<br />
Charizard was used to weaken and help Ash capture a {{AP|Chikorita}} in ''[[EP126|The Chikorita Rescue]]''. His massive size compared to her came into effect when Chikorita ran towards him and tried to attack; Charizard responded by placing his foot out and blowing a small puff of fire after being instructed by Ash to only weaken her. Charizard's puff of fire ended up on Chikorita's leaf and caused her to run around for a short amount of time before using {{m|Vine Whip}} to attack Charizard. Ash recalled Charizard after he and Chikorita fell into a large canvas of rocks.<br />
<br />
In ''[[EP131|Fighting Flyer with Fire]]'', he participated in Ash's first Johto Gym battle against [[Falkner]] at the [[Violet Gym]], where he battled Falkner's {{p|Pidgeot}}. Due to the latter's impressive {{stat|Speed}}, Charizard started at a disadvantage, with Pidgeot's {{m|Whirlwind}} reflecting his Flamethrower onto him. He was then knocked back down by a combination of {{m|Wing Attack}} and {{m|Quick Attack}}. Falkner told Ash to surrender, but Ash refused, and Charizard gained the strength to fight back and fly above Quick Attack. Charizard then baited Pidgeot, spinning around in midair when Pidgeot flew behind him and hitting it with Fire Spin before seizing it and hurling it into the ground with Seismic Toss. Pidgeot was knocked out, and Ash won the {{badge|Zephyr}}.<br />
[[File:Ash leaving Charizard.png|thumb|left|220px|Ash parting ways with Charizard]]<br />
In ''[[EP134|Charizard's Burning Ambitions]]'', Misty criticized Ash for using Charizard too often against fresh young Trainers, making him unbeatable but in an unfair way. Ash then met {{Jo|Liza}}, who taught Ash and Charizard how to fly together. After arriving in the [[Charicific Valley]], Charizard was humiliated by Liza's insults and proudly tried to show off his power. However, he was shown to be smaller and weaker than the wild Charizard who lived there. Charizard continued to pick fights and kept getting himself beaten until Liza locked them out of the Valley, having [[Charla]] throw Charizard into the lake and telling him and Ash to stay away until they had trained and reflected. Team Rocket sympathized with Charizard and helped him to stay awake in the lake, as well as making a false attempt to break into the Valley, allowing Charizard to defeat them and win acclaim from Liza, Charla, and the wild Charizard. Facing an emotional battle, Ash told Charizard that he did not want a weakling on his team and he would be fine without him, forcing Charizard to stay at the Valley to train and become more powerful. He then ran away from the Valley, knowing that if he stopped, he would not be able to say goodbye. Pikachu wished Charizard well and followed Ash, leaving his teammate and friend behind.<br />
<br />
In ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown: Entei]]'', Charizard saw news footage of {{OBP|Entei|M03}} abducting [[Delia Ketchum]] and Ash futilely pursuing them, so Charizard decided to leave the Charicific Valley briefly and flew to [[Greenfield]] in an attempt to help. Later that night, Charizard arrived just in time to catch Ash and Pikachu when Entei knocked them out of a tower. Charizard then battled Entei with Ash riding on its back, but though it was briefly able to send Entei flying with Fire Spin, [[Molly Hale]]'s reality-warping powers granted by the {{OBP|Unown|M03}} tipped the scales too much in Entei's favor, like when crystal spikes would emerge to impede Charizard's flight. Entei eventually pinned Charizard and prepared to hit it with a point-blank Fire Blast, but Molly came to her senses and convinced Entei to stop. Charizard, Pikachu, and Entei worked together to defeat the Unown when their powers went berserk and threatened to destroy everything, but this came at the cost of Entei's existence. With the crisis over, Charizard returned to the Charicific Valley.<br />
<br />
During his time in the Charicific Valley, Charizard took the role of Charla's bodyguard, and the two seem to have a sort of romantic relationship with each other. Liza occasionally visited the [[Dragon Holy Land]] in [[Blackthorn City]] with the two Charizard. One such visit was in ''[[EP253|Great Bowls of Fire!]]'', which coincidentally occurred when Ash was there for his final [[Johto]] Gym battle. Charizard helped Ash, [[Clair]], Pikachu, and {{TP|Clair|Dragonair}} calm the wild {{p|Dragonite}} that was rampaging in the Dragon Holy Land.<br />
<br />
In ''[[EP254|Better Eight Than Never]]'', Charizard battled against Clair's Dragonair in Ash's [[Blackthorn Gym]] rematch. He caused the water in the Gym's pool to evaporate with his Flamethrower and Fire Spin, thus depriving Dragonair of its protection. He then caught Dragonair with Seismic Toss and used Fire Spin to create a flaming twister to wear down Dragonair's defenses before it hit the ground and was knocked out, winning Ash the match and earning him the {{badge|Rising}}. Ash surprised Liza by sending him back for training afterwards, knowing that Charizard still had a lot to learn.<br />
[[File:Ash Charizard Gary Blastoise.png|thumb|250px|Charizard defeating Gary's Blastoise]]<br />
Ash later used Charizard in the [[Silver Conference]] during his fight against {{Gary}} in ''[[EP270|Can't Beat the Heat!]]'', as Brock had made a late-night call to Liza requesting Charizard for the battle. [[Gary's Blastoise]] and {{p|Scizor}} cut Ash's team down to only Charizard, who had to fight three opponents single-handedly. He managed to match Scizor's speed and took advantage of his significant type advantage, defeating Scizor with a single Flamethrower. Despite {{p|Golem}}'s weight preventing Charizard from using his Seismic Toss, Charizard overcame it with a powerful Dragon Rage attack. Charizard struggled against Gary's Blastoise, as it had supreme defensive capabilities and could keep Charizard at bay with Hydro Pump. Thinking outside the box, Ash told Charizard to superheat the field, which forced Blastoise to spend time cooling the molten rock. This created a huge steam cloud and allowed Charizard to seize Blastoise at close range. Blastoise could still use {{m|Withdraw}} to dodge Dragon Rage, so Charizard hurled Blastoise into the ground with Seismic Toss, defeating it and leaving Ash as the winner.<br />
<br />
Charizard was next used in Ash's fight against {{jo|Harrison}} in ''[[EP271|Playing with Fire!]]'', where he went up against [[Harrison's Blaziken]]. Blaziken's powerful legs and ability to maneuver in midair negated Charizard's aerial advantage. Each Pokémon hit hard blows on the other, and their Flamethrowers were shown to be equal in power. Blaziken even managed to get up after a devastating Seismic Toss, while Charizard took a {{m|Blaze Kick}} to the neck and continued on. A final clash between Flamethrower and Dragon Rage knocked both Pokémon down, but only Blaziken could get up, eliminating Ash from the tournament. Charizard once again returned to Charicific Valley. Later, it was revealed that he had injured Blaziken so badly that Harrison had to rest his primary battler in the next round, contributing to his later loss against [[Jon Dickson]].<br />
<br />
====={{aniseries|AG}}=====<br />
Charizard appeared in a flashback to Ash's battle against Harrison in ''[[AG003|There's no Place Like Hoenn]]''.<br />
[[File:AG136.png|thumb|left|220px|Charizard vs Articuno]]<br />
In ''[[AG136|The Symbol Life]]'', he returned for Ash's first {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} battle, where he took on [[Noland's Articuno]] at the {{gdis|Battle Factory|III}}. Ash and Charizard flew together, where Charizard demonstrated a far improved Flamethrower and that he had learned {{m|Dragon Breath}}. In battle, he showed he was a match even for the Legendary Pokémon, using Flamethrower to burn through {{m|Ice Beam}} and strike Articuno. However, Articuno did not take much damage from Flamethrower or Dragon Breath, blinding Charizard with {{m|Mist}} and then knocking him to the ground with {{m|Steel Wing}}. Articuno then inflicted serious damage with {{m|Water Pulse}} and froze Charizard's wing tip, crippling his movements. Finally, Charizard used Overheat, which he had just learned, to melt the ice. He then caught Articuno as it tried to use Steel Wing and struck with a Seismic Toss. Charizard collapsed but managed to get up just as Articuno passed out, giving Ash and Charizard the victory and earning Ash the [[Symbol|Knowledge Symbol]].<br />
<br />
Charizard also battled alongside Pikachu, Bulbasaur, and Squirtle in a four-on-four battle against {{an|Brandon}} at the [[Battle Pyramid]] in ''[[AG189|Gathering the Gang of Four!]]'', where he went up against {{p|Dusclops}}. Charizard had been training since his battle with Articuno and learned Steel Wing, but was put at a disadvantage when Dusclops used {{m|Confuse Ray}} and {{m|Mean Look}}, [[Escape prevention|forcing Charizard to keep battling]] in his baffled state, all the while taking damage from {{m|Will-O-Wisp}}. Finally, Charizard snapped out of his confusion and attacked with Dragon Breath, wearing both Pokémon down. However, an attempt to use Seismic Toss to finish the match cost Ash dearly, as the {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon simply dissipated and re-emerged safely at a distance, where a {{m|Shadow Punch}} took Charizard out and put Ash at a supreme disadvantage. However, Pikachu, Bulbasaur, and Squirtle managed to win the battle and the [[Symbol|Brave Symbol]]. After the match against Brandon, Charizard returned to Charicific Valley.<br />
<br />
====={{aniseries|BW}}=====<br />
======Unova======<br />
In ''[[BW116|The Fires of a Red-Hot Reunion!]]'', Ash and {{ashfr}} attended a [[Kanto Fair]], where one of the presentations featured the local [[first partner Pokémon]], involving a live-action show with a Charmander. This made Ash remember his own Charmander, prompting him to tell {{an|Iris}}, {{an|Cilan}}, and {{an|N}} about his Charizard. Filled with a desire to see his old friend again, Ash called {{an|Professor Oak}}, who, in exchange for [[Ash's Unfezant]], arranged to have Charizard sent over to him. While being introduced to everyone, Charizard immediately started a fiery rivalry with [[Iris's Dragonite]], which encouraged Ash and Iris to have a battle with their two stubborn Pokémon. During the battle, Charizard was shown to have learned Wing Attack, Slash, and Dragon Tail. He quickly gained the upper hand as not even Dragonite's Dragon Rush was able to hurt him, while Dragonite was taking serious damage from Charizard's Dragon Tail. Before it could be settled, the battle was called off by N. Ash then corrected Iris's misconception that Charizard was a {{t|Dragon}} type, upsetting her since she'd wanted to train one as well, and invited Charizard to rejoin his active team, which he happily agreed to.<br />
<br />
In ''[[BW117|Team Plasma's Pokémon Manipulation!]]'', Charizard was called out by Ash to once again fight Iris's Dragonite, who was this time being controlled by [[Colress]].<br />
[[File:Ash Charizard and Pignite.png|thumb|250px|Charizard and {{AP|Pignite}}]]<br />
In ''[[BW119|Meowth, Colress and Team Rivalry!]]'', Charizard was called out to help [[Ash's Pignite]], who had difficulty breathing through his nostrils because something was blocking it. Charizard lifted him up and tossed him to help, but it did not work. Eventually, the blockage was removed, much to everyone's delight.<br />
<br />
Later, in ''[[BW121|Team Plasma and the Awakening Ceremony!]]'', Charizard was sent out alongside the rest of Ash's team to help Ash and N dig up to the surface of the {{an|White Ruins}} after they had fallen into a pit. Charizard cleverly improvised a spinning Dragon Tail to help {{AP|Krookodile}} {{m|dig}} through the earth that {{AP|Oshawott}} had softened with {{m|Hydro Pump}}. While battling Team Plasma again, Charizard withstood many of Team Plasma's attacks before Pignite came to his aid. The two then launched an incredibly powerful double Flamethrower at Team Plasma's Pokémon. However, when Colress turned his mind control machine on them, Charizard was quickly recalled to his Poké Ball, along with Ash's other Pokémon.<br />
<br />
======Decolore Islands======<br />
[[File:Ash and Charizard.png|thumb|left|250px|Charizard and Ash]]<br />
In ''[[BW135|Mystery on a Deserted Island!]]'', Ash used Charizard to battle a wild {{p|Ninetales}} on [[Frond Island]].<br />
<br />
In ''[[BW136|A Pokémon of a Different Color!]],'' Charizard and Iris's Dragonite set off to search for Clair's Dragonite, who had been separated from Clair on an [[Cave Island|island]] in the [[Decolore Islands|Decolore Archipelago]]. After Iris's Dragonite found Clair's, Charizard brought the group to them, only to find the pair squabbling. Although Charizard attempted to stop the fighting, the two Dragonite knocked him away. Later on, Charizard continued to act as a peacemaker unsuccessfully; Ash eventually thanked him for trying and returned Charizard to his Poké Ball.<br />
<br />
In ''[[BW141|Best Wishes Until We Meet Again!]]'', Charizard, along with all of Ash's Pokémon, was stolen by Team Rocket. Later, after recovering all of their Pokémon, Ash used Charizard to attack [[Jessie's Frillish]], who was using {{m|Bubble Beam}} on Ash and company. Charizard easily defeated Frillish with Wing Attack and scorched [[James's Amoonguss]] with a supereffective Flamethrower. Charizard, alongside Pikachu, {{TP|Iris|Axew}}, and {{TP|Cilan|Pansage}}, subsequently sent Team Rocket blasting off.<br />
<br />
Charizard was reunited with all of Ash's Unova Pokémon at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] in ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]''. He joined the others in a group attack on Team Rocket with his Flamethrower to send them blasting off for the last time in ''Pokémon the Series: Black & White''. Charizard was left at the lab before Ash set off for the [[Kalos]] region. He later posed with the rest of Ash's Pokémon in a group photo with him.<br />
<br />
====={{aniseries|SM}}=====<br />
Charizard reappeared in a flashback in ''[[SM042|Alola, Kanto!]]''.<br />
<br />
====={{aniseries|JN}}=====<br />
[[File:Ash Kanto Pokémon JN132.png|thumb|250px|Charizard encouraging Pikachu in a vision]]<br />
In ''[[JN068|Advice to Goh!]]'', Charizard reunited with Ash during his visit to Professor Oak's Laboratory with [[Goh]]. Sometime before, Charizard had battled against [[Ash's Infernape]] before he had left the lab to battle {{p|Moltres}}.<br />
<br />
Charizard, along with the rest of Ash's Pokémon at the lab, reunited with Ash in ''[[JN114|Friends, Rivals, Lend Me Your Spirit!]]''. During the visit, he helped train [[Ash's Gengar]] to learn {{m|Will-O-Wisp}}, and later watched the battle between Ash and [[Paul]]. Before Ash left, he posed with the rest of Ash's Pokémon in a group photo with him.<br />
<br />
From ''[[JN118|Battling as Hard as Stone!]]'' onwards, Charizard watched Ash's [[Masters Eight Tournament]] matches against {{an|Steven Stone|Steven}}, {{an|Cynthia}}, and {{an|Leon}}. In ''[[JN132|Partners in Time!]]'', Charizard appeared as a vision to Pikachu during his battle against [[Leon's Charizard]]. After Ash won the battle, Charizard joined the rest of Ash's Pokémon at the lab in celebrating their Trainer's victory.<br />
[[File:Ash Bulbasaur Charizard Squirtle.png|thumb|left|250px|Charizard, Bulbasaur, and Squirtle]]<br />
In ''[[JN135|Heroes Unite!]]'', Charizard, along with the rest of the Pokémon at the lab, welcomed Ash back to Pallet Town after his victory over Leon.<br />
<br />
In ''[[JN141|A Squad's Worth of Passion!]]'', Ash and his friends discovered Squirtle had become a performer, and Charizard and Bulbasaur were sent out to enjoy the show. They tried to meet up with Squirtle directly after the performance but were misled by Team Rocket and left. They were later able to meet up with Squirtle at their hotel, but Squirtle, upset over the idea that its friends no longer cared for it, attacked them. Charizard didn't hesitate to fight back, with Bulbasaur trying and failing to stop it. Ash broke it up, and Charizard and Bulbasaur left feeling upset. Later, a fire broke out at a warehouse, and the group found the [[Squirtle Squad]] giving their all to stop it. Deciding their feud wasn't worth it, Charizard and Bulbasaur joined the Tiny Turtle Pokémon in putting it out and rescuing the Pokémon trapped by the flames. Afterward, [[Officer Jenny]] arrived to take the Squirtle Squad to their next assignment, but not before sharing a heartfelt goodbye with the group.<br />
<br />
In ''[[JN147|The Rainbow and the Pokémon Master!]]'', Charizard assisted Ash in looking for a missing Charmander around Oak's lab, but to no avail.<br />
{{-}}<br />
<br />
====Personality and characteristics====<br />
{{bulbanews|Personality & Development: Ash's Charizard}}<br />
The emotional turmoil of being abandoned by [[Damian]] defined Charizard when he was a Charmander. Despite the scorn he received from Damian, he loyally waited outside for his return, convinced that he had a good relationship when, in fact, none had existed. Only a violent confrontation revealed the unhealthy nature of his relationship with Damian. Charmander struggled with this abandonment-in ''[[EP017|Island of the Giant Pokémon]]'', he became discouraged when {{AP|Bulbasaur}} suggested that Ash had abandoned them all. Charmander was markedly shy and shown to be anxious, though his confidence quickly grew under Ash's guidance.<br />
<br />
[[File:Ash Charizard disobedience.png|thumb|left|250px|Charizard refusing to battle against [[Sparky]]]]<br />
Despite being one of Ash's most often used Pokémon, Charmander's [[Evolution]] saw Charmeleon grow distant from Ash, scorning all of his former friends and seeking power alone. Charmeleon had become like Damian, obsessed with power and reputation while ignoring the value of friendship, loyalty, and kindness. Charmeleon's battle with {{p|Aerodactyl}} in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]'' was purely based on a bruised ego, and Charizard's later battles with {{TP|Blaine|Magmar}} and [[Zippo]] were solely out of grudging respect for their battling ability, and in the case of the post-league celebration, the destruction of the food. Charizard's unhealthy disobedience even cost Ash the Indigo League when he refused to battle any Pokémon he didn't think was worthy. Nevertheless, he did retain some degree of loyalty to his master and his fellow Pokémon, as the aforementioned incident with Aerodactyl had Charizard barely swooping in to save Ash before completely falling asleep while being affected by Jigglypuff's singing and also saving Pikachu after Team Rocket blasted off before resuming his rampage, with ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'' even having Charizard crying for Ash when he ended up petrified.<br />
<br />
[[File:Ash Charizard Iris Dragonite.png|thumb|250px|Charizard's rivalry with Iris's Dragonite]]<br />
Once Ash made the selfless act to save Charizard from freezing in ''[[EP105|Charizard Chills]]'', Charizard finally shook off the poisonous personality traits left by Damian and regained full loyalty to Ash. His ability to work as part of a team was still hampered, but when working together with {{AP|Pikachu}} to defeat [[Luana]], he finally managed to overcome that difficulty. Since this point, Charizard has been willing to assist Ash in any battle, ranging from [[Casey's Chikorita]] to [[Falkner]]'s Pidgeot with no complaint. However, Charizard maintained the rebellious Flamethrower attacks as a sign of affection for Ash, and while Charizard was loyal, his love of power and reputation remained. This was shown significantly in his departure in ''[[EP134|Charizard's Burning Ambitions]]'', where he brashly challenged each of the wild Charizard at [[Charicific Valley]] even though he was defeated every time.<br />
<br />
Despite retaining his fiery nature and fierce battling spirit, Charizard's return to Ash's regular command in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]'' showed that he had significantly matured throughout {{jo|Liza}}'s training regime. This was displayed in ''[[BW136|A Pokémon of a Different Color!]]'', where he attempted to act as a peacemaker between [[Clair]] and {{an|Iris}}'s two squabbling {{p|Dragonite}}. During his time at Professor Oak's lab, Charizard became very good friends with Ash's Fire types and is usually seen hanging out with them, as shown in ''[[JN068|Advice to Goh!]]'' and ''[[JN114|Friends, Rivals, Lend Me Your Spirit!]]''. Charizard also befriended {{AP|Gengar}} when it visited the lab.<br />

===''I Choose You!''===<br />
[[File:Ash Charizard M20.png|thumb|250px|Ash's Charizard in ''I Choose You!'']]<br />
Charizard appeared in ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'', which is set in [[I Choose You! trilogy|a different continuity]] from {{aniseries|PTS}}. In this continuity, it was the second Pokémon {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|M20|Ash}} caught on his journey.<br />
[[File:Cross and Charmander.png|left|thumb|250px|As a Charmander with Cross]]<br />
As a {{p|Charmander}}, it originally belonged to a Pokémon Trainer named [[Cross]]. Cross deemed Charmander too weak however, and abandoned it and told it to stop following him. Charmander was eventually found in the rain by Ash and [[Verity]]. After arguing briefly with Cross over his decision to abandon Charmander, they took it and went inside a cave to seek shelter from the rain. There, they found [[Sorrel]], who brought Charmander back to good health.<br />
<br />
The following day, Charmander had fully recovered and Ash offered it to join his team. Charmander accepted, despite still feeling loyalty towards Cross. Charmander joined Ash, Verity, and Sorrel on their journey towards the [[Mount Tensei|Raizen Mountains]] to meet {{an|Ho-Oh}}. After a battle against a {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s {{p|Jigglypuff}}, Charmander evolved into Charmeleon. Soon after, Ash encountered Cross again and started a battle with him. Ash used Charmeleon against its former Trainer and his {{p|Incineroar}}. Charmeleon proved to be no match for Incineroar however and was defeated. Ash started to question himself and faulted the loss on Charmeleon, but later apologized when he realized his errors.<br />
<br />
Finally reaching the Raizen Mountains, Ash tried to place his [[Rainbow Wing]] atop Rainbow Rock. He was stopped by Cross however, who wanted to take the Rainbow Wing for himself. Ash battled Cross again, once again using his Charmeleon against Cross and his Incineroar. In the midst of a fierce battle, Charmeleon evolved into Charizard, and this time, it managed to defeat it. Distraught of losing against his former Pokémon, Cross started to realize the error in his ways.<br />
<br />
====Personality and characteristics====<br />
[[File:Ash and Charizard M20.png|250px|thumb|Charizard and Ash]]<br />
Unlike his animated series counterpart, Charizard has always been obedient to Ash, as well as retaining loyalty to his former Trainer Cross so that even after being assaulted by him, Charmander wanted to return to travel alongside him.<br />
<br />
Charizard over time ended up becoming a powerhouse on Ash's team, being able to beat Cross's {{p|Incineroar}} and thus show all his power to his former Trainer.<br />

===Spin-off games===<br />
====[[Pokémon Masters EX]]====<br />
Charizard, in all three of his stages, appears in a flashback during the [[special event]] {{DL|Special event|The Classic Thunderbolt}} in {{g|Masters EX}}.<br />
<br />
==In the manga==<br />
===Ash & Pikachu===<br />
[[File:Ash Charizard AP.png|thumb|200px|Charizard in [[Ash & Pikachu]]]]<br />
Ash's Charizard appeared in ''[[SP33|Off To The Battle Frontier!!]]''. It was excited to see Ash when he called it over as it was sent for training earlier. After arrival, Ash sent it out to battle [[Noland's Articuno]]. During the battle, it struggled to keep up with Articuno despite the type advantage due to the fact that Articuno's speed was quicker than Charizard's in terms of reflexes. However, Charizard focused in on where Articuno was going to strike next and defeated it, earning Ash the Knowledge Symbol.<br />

===The Electric Tale of Pikachu===<br />
[[File:Ash Charizard EToP.png|thumb|230px|left|Charizard in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]]]<br />
{{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]].<br />
<br />
Despite this difference, Ash is still seen owning a Charmander, which first appeared in ''[[ET08|You Gotta Have Friends]]''. Charmander's capture was not shown in the manga, instead, it was explained that "Ash has been busy since the last comic!" when Charmander first appeared from its {{i|Poké Ball}}. Charmander was first seen when a lonely Ash decided to play with his other Pokémon while {{AP|Pikachu|Pikachu (EToP)}} was off playing with a group of Pikachu. Charmander simply set Ash on fire while his {{p|Oddish}} {{status|paralysis|paralyzed}} him with {{m|Stun Spore}}.<br />
<br />
In ''[[ET12|Welcome to the Big Leagues]]'', at the 88th [[Indigo Plateau Conference|Pokémon League]], Ash presented his Charmander, now fully evolved into a Charizard, to {{an|Brock}} and {{an|Misty}}. Despite the fact that Ash wanted to use Charizard as a secret weapon, Charizard refused to listen to him unless he held a special flare that burned with the fire of a {{p|Moltres}}. Due to the fact that the flare burns out quickly and Ash could lose points for using a prop, he decided to not use it and rely on his other Pokémon instead.<br />
<br />
[[File:Ash Charizard violent.png|thumb|230px|Charizard violently attacking Ritchie's Charley]]<br />
In ''[[ET13|The Indigo Finals]]'', during the fifth round of the Pokémon League, Ash sent out Charizard as his third and last Pokémon in his match against [[Ritchie]]. Ritchie countered with his own Charizard, named [[Zippo|Charley]]. Though evenly matched at first, Charizard went into a violent frenzy and mercilessly started scratching, biting, and burning Charley. Ash attempted to stop this mauling with his flare, but Charizard ignored it and continued to attack Charley, heavily injuring it and splattering its blood everywhere. Refusing to keep the fight going on this way, Ash made the choice to [[recall]] Charizard. Since Charizard had left the battle and Charley was still standing despite its injuries, Ritchie was declared the winner, ending Ash's run in the Pokémon League.<br />
<br />
Charizard appeared again in ''[[ET16|You Bet Your Wife]]'', where Ash decided to use it in a dance competition in his Gym battle against [[Rudy]]. After flying around in circles, Charizard set Ash aflame as it did in its first appearance.<br />
<br />
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.<br />

Ash's Charizard first appeared in {{ma|Mirage Pokémon Lugia's Explosive Birth}}. Ash sent it out along with {{AP|Squirtle}} and {{AP|Bulbasaur}} to free the {{OBP|legendary birds|M02}} from their prisons.<br />
<br />
====Genesect and the Legend Awakened====<br />
Charizard reappeared in {{ma|Genesect and the Legend Awakened}}, where Ash sent it out along with his other Pokémon while he was in [[Pokémon Hills]].<br />
{{-}}<br />
<br />
====''I Choose You!''====<br />
[[File:Ash Charizard M20 manga.png|thumb|200px|Charizard in ''{{ma|I Choose You!}}'']]<br />
Charizard appeared in {{ma|I Choose You!}}. It was first shown as a Charmander where [[Cross]] got it from {{an|Professor Oak}}. Later, Cross was revealed to have abandoned Charmander when {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|M20|Ash}} encountered it out in the rain. After Ash and [[Verity]] took Charmander in a cave to recover, [[Sorrel]] helped it back to good health.<br />
<br />
The next day, Ash offered Charmander to join his team and Charmander accepted. It then battled a {{p|Jigglypuff}} and defeated it, which resulted in it evolving into a Charmeleon. Charmeleon battled Cross's {{p|Incineroar}}. During the battle, it kept on damaging Incineroar, something that Cross allowed. However, it turned out to be part of Cross's plan as Incineroar's strength increased by every attack Charmeleon threw at it. Because of that, Incineroar was able to defeat Charmeleon with {{m|Cross Chop}}.<br />
<br />
After Ash and {{ashfr}} reached the [[Mount Tensei|Raizen Mountains]] and encountered Cross again, Charmeleon was used in the rematch against Cross's Incineroar. During the battle, Charmeleon evolved into Charizard and defeated Incineroar. When {{OBP|Marshadow|M20}} became corrupted by the evil tainting it because of Cross placing the Rainbow Wing on top of the rock instead of Ash, Charizard protected Cross from an attack coming from {{p|Lycanroc}} when Marshadow possessed it and took part in the battle against the other Pokémon possessed by Marshadow. After Ash disappeared from existence because of a combined attack coming from Marshadow's army, Charizard and the others were saddened to see that happen. Charizard became happy when Ash was revived.<br />

Charizard, as a Charmander, belonged to a Trainer named [[Cross]]. Cross released Charmander as he deemed it weak and then Ash eventually caught Charmander. Later, Charmander evolved into a Charmeleon.<br />
<br />
In [[ICYR3]], Charmeleon was sent out to take on three {{p|Nidoking}} at [[Mount Tensei]]. Charmeleon's {{m|Flamethrower}} caused the Nidoking to go running. Later, it was used to battle Cross's Incineroar. During the battle, Cross's Incineroar got the upper hand but Charmeleon evolved into Charizard when it was about to lose. Using its newfound power, Charizard defeated Incineroar with Seismic Toss. Charizard then faced off against Cross's Lycanroc but the outcome was unknown.<br />

==Trivia==<br />
[[File:Ash Charizard greeting.png|thumb|250px|Charizard greeting Ash with {{m|Flamethrower}}]]<br />

* Charizard is the only one of Ash's Pokémon to start refusing to [[Obedience|obey]] him only after evolving.<br />
* Prior to ''[[EP105|Charizard Chills]]'', Charizard only seemed to obey Ash when fighting another Fire-type Pokémon: he was obedient when battling against [[Blaine's Magmar]], {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}}'s cloned {{p|Charizard}}, and [[Zippo]].<br />

* Out of all of Ash's first partner Pokémon, Charizard took the shortest amount of episodes to reach its final form, at 35.<br />
* Charizard has used the most regular moves out of any individual Pokémon featured in the animated series, with a total of 17. The record of most moves used overall, however, is held by [[Leon's Charizard]], at 20, followed closely by [[Ash's Pikachu]], at 19.<br />

===History===<br />
====Pre-series====<br />
[[File:JN001.png|thumb|250px|Pichu with his adoptive family]]<br />
As shown in ''[[JN001|Enter Pikachu!]]'', Pikachu was once a lonely, orphaned {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Pichu}} who lived in the woods in the outskirts of [[Pallet Town]]. After falling off a cliff, he was saved by a mother {{p|Kangaskhan}}, who, after realizing Pichu had nowhere to go, placed him in her pouch and took him into her care. Eventually, Pichu and the child Kangaskhan grew bigger, and carrying them both became a burden to the mother. Realizing this, Pichu left his adoptive mother's pouch in the middle of the night while Kangaskhan's pack was asleep. Turning back to say goodbye to his family, his feelings of gratitude caused him to [[Evolution|evolve]] into Pikachu. After taking a moment to realize what had just happened to him, Pikachu finished his goodbyes and left for parts unknown.<br />
<br />
At some point after his departure, Pikachu was {{pkmn2|caught}} and eventually came under the possession of {{an|Professor Oak}}. It is unknown how long Pikachu spent at Professor Oak's laboratory before the first episode of {{aniseries|PTS}}.<br />
<br />

[[File:Ash Pikachu EP001.png|thumb|left|220px|Pikachu's debut appearance]]<br />
In the first episode of {{aniseries|PTS}}, ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', Ash woke up late the day he was supposed to go to [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] to obtain his first Pokémon. When he arrived at the lab, the three available first partner Pokémon–{{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, and {{TP|Gary|Squirtle}}–had already been taken by other Trainers who had arrived on time. Seeing Ash's disappointment, Professor Oak gave him Pikachu, who, at first, [[Obedience|did not care for his new Trainer]], constantly zapping him and anyone else nearby. He refused to go into his {{i|Poké Ball}}, and when Ash failed to catch a {{p|Pidgey}}, he laughed at him. However, by the end of the episode, Ash gained Pikachu's trust by protecting him from an attack by a flock of angry {{p|Spearow}}. Seeing this act of selflessness, Pikachu defended Ash from the Spearow as well, and the two of them became inseparable friends, a moment that was capitalized on by catching a glimpse of {{an|Ho-Oh|an unknown Pokémon}} flying by. Ash then rushed to [[Viridian City]] to get Pikachu hospitalized quickly, as he had been badly injured during the fight.<br />
[[File:Ash Pikachu debut.png|thumb|220px|Pikachu meeting Ash for the first time]]<br />
In ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'', Ash managed to get to the Viridian City [[Pokémon Center]] just in time with the help of [[Officer Jenny]], who scolded Ash for "mistreating" Pikachu. [[Nurse Joy]] agreed to heal Pikachu, and thanks to her, Pikachu managed to regain his health. At the end of the episode, Pikachu had regained enough of his strength to send {{TRT}} [[blasting off]] for the very first time.<br />
<br />
Pikachu participated in Ash's first [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}} with {{an|Brock}} in ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]''. He faced {{TP|Brock|Onix}}, but his {{type|Electric}} attacks were ineffective. When Onix started {{m|bind}}ing Pikachu, Ash saw no other option than to forfeit the match. Ash and Pikachu later trained with {{ka|Flint}} to increase the strength of Pikachu's Electric-type [[move]]s. Ash then challenged Brock to a [[rematch]], where Pikachu managed to defeat [[Brock's Geodude]] with his training. Pikachu then faced Onix again, but despite their training, he was still unable to defeat it. As Ash was about to forfeit again, Pikachu's {{m|Thunderbolt}} started a fire, turning on the Gym's sprinkler system, severely harming Onix. As Ash was about to let Pikachu finish Onix off, he was stopped by [[Brock's siblings]], and he decided to forfeit again. Despite this, Brock still gave him the {{badge|Boulder}}.<br />
<br />
In ''[[EP007|The Water Flowers of Cerulean City]]'', Ash attempted to use Pikachu to battle {{an|Misty}} at the [[Cerulean Gym]], but Pikachu refused to fight her, much to Ash's annoyance, forcing him to use {{AP|Butterfree}} instead. When Team Rocket attacked the Gym and interrupted the battle, Pikachu helped to defeat them, prompting [[Sensational Sisters|Misty's sisters]] give Ash the {{badge|Cascade}} out of gratitude, despite Misty's protests.<br />
[[File:EP014.png|thumb|left|220px|Pikachu battling against Lt. Surge's Raichu]]<br />
Pikachu's next major battle was in Ash's [[Vermilion Gym]] battle against [[Lt. Surge's Raichu]] in ''[[EP014|Electric Shock Showdown]]''. [[Lt. Surge]] laughed at Ash for attempting to defeat his Raichu with its pre-evolved form, angering Ash and Pikachu. Indeed, Raichu turned out to be more powerful than Pikachu, and a combination of attacks from it resulted in so much damage to Pikachu that he had to be hospitalized. Later, Ash offered to let Pikachu evolve into a {{p|Raichu}} with a [[Thunder Stone]] that Nurse Joy had given him. However, Pikachu refused, wanting to defeat Raichu on his terms. During the subsequent rematch with Lt. Surge, Pikachu once again faced Raichu. Using moves like {{m|Agility}} and {{m|Quick Attack}}, which Raichu didn't know, Pikachu managed to gain the upper hand, dodge Raichu's attacks, and ultimately defeat it, thus earning Ash the {{badge|Thunder}}.<br />
<br />
Pikachu was separated from Ash in ''[[EP017|Island of the Giant Pokémon]]''—along with {{AP|Bulbasaur}}, {{AP|Charmander}}, and {{AP|Squirtle}}—after a group of {{p|Gyarados}} sent them flying with {{m|Dragon Rage}}. During the separation, Pikachu remained adamant that Ash was looking for them, despite Bulbasaur's belief they were abandoned. When Ash's Pokémon came across Team Rocket's Pokémon, who were also separated from their Trainers, the two groups of Pokémon joined forces to look for them. The next day, the group came across a group of giant Pokémon and ended up being chased by them straight to Ash, his friends, and Team Rocket, allowing them to reunite.<br />
<br />
In ''[[EP022|Abra and the Psychic Showdown]]'', Pikachu was sent out to battle [[Sabrina's Abra]] during Ash's [[Saffron Gym]] battle. It proved to be a tough foe, using {{m|Teleport}} to avoid Pikachu's attacks. Abra then suddenly evolved into Kadabra, making it much stronger. Eventually, Kadabra used {{m|Psychic}} to control Pikachu's body and repeatedly smash him into the ceiling. Unwilling to see his friend suffer, Ash forfeited the match. In Ash's subsequent rematch with [[Sabrina]] in ''[[EP024|Haunter versus Kadabra]]'', Pikachu fought Kadabra again, since {{TP|Sabrina|Haunter}} didn't show up and his other Pokémon were too terrified. Eventually, Haunter appeared and made Sabrina and Kadabra laugh, leaving them incapacitated. As a result, Ash was declared the winner by [[Sabrina's father]], which earned him the {{badge|Marsh}}.<br />
<br />
In ''[[EP033|The Flame Pokémon-athon!]]'', Pikachu entered the [[Big P Pokémon Race]] with Squirtle. 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 an {{p|Electrode}} self-destructing. They made ground when they reached the water stage, putting them in the top four with Ash, Misty, and [[Dario]]. However, intervention from Team Rocket forced a battle, and the two were put out of the running by a {{m|Glare}} attack from {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}}.<br />
<br />
In ''[[EP039|Pikachu's Goodbye]]'', Ash and {{ashfr}} ran into a group of wild Pikachu, which was a very rare encounter. Pikachu tried to make friends with the other Pikachu but received a lukewarm response. After saving a baby Pikachu from falling down a waterfall, Ash's Pikachu was accepted by the group. This overjoyed Ash at first, but he soon began to feel sad because he thought that Pikachu would be better off with the rest of his kind. After stopping Team Rocket from poaching his Pikachu and the wild Pikachu, Ash decided it was best to leave Pikachu behind with the others. However, Pikachu refused to leave Ash and quickly ran to catch up with him, followed by the wild Pikachu, who supported Ash and Pikachu being together.<br />
<br />
In ''[[EP052|Princess vs. Princess]]'', Pikachu was borrowed by Misty so she could use him in the [[Queen of the Princess Festival]], the main event in the annual [[Princess Festival]]. During the competition, he was seen defeating a {{p|Fearow}}. In the finals, Pikachu was Misty's first Pokémon used against [[Jessie]]. Pikachu easily managed to defeat Arbok, {{TP|James|Weezing}}, and {{MTR}} in succession with a single Thunder Shock. Pikachu then faced [[Jessie's Lickitung]]. He tried attacking with Thunderbolt but was then licked by Lickitung and defeated.<br />
<br />
In ''[[EP058|Riddle Me This]]'', Pikachu was Ash's last Pokémon used in his seventh Gym battle at the [[Cinnabar Gym]], where he faced off against [[Blaine]]'s {{p|Rhydon}}. Despite being immune to Electric moves, Rhydon was defeated when Pikachu aimed his Thunderbolt attack at the horn on Rhydon's head. Pikachu then faced [[Blaine's Magmar]], whose attacks eventually almost caused Pikachu to fall off the battlefield and into the lava below. Seeing that, Ash then decided to forfeit the match.<br />
<br />
[[File:Ash Pikachu Poké Ball.png|thumb|220px|Pikachu's Poké Ball, with a lightning bolt mark, at Professor Oak's Laboratory]]<br />
In ''[[EP063|The Battle of the Badge]]'', Ash had Pikachu attack Team Rocket and their Pokémon after they sent out Arbok and Weezing to attack during their Gym battle. Using Thunderbolt, Pikachu hit all of the opposing Pokémon at once, causing {{p|Machamp}}, Rhydon, and {{p|Kingler}} to run away in fear, and defeating Arbok and Weezing. After Team Rocket got blasted off, Ash got his eighth Gym Badge, the {{badge|Earth}}.<br />
<br />
Ash used Pikachu many times during the [[Indigo Plateau Conference]]. In ''[[EP076|Fire and Ice]]'', Pikachu defeated [[Pete Pebbleman]]'s powerful {{p|Arcanine}}, but in ''[[EP077|The Fourth Round Rumble]]'', he was defeated by [[Jeanette Fisher]]'s {{p|Bellsprout}}. Pikachu then faced off against Happy, [[Ritchie]]'s {{p|Butterfree}}, in ''[[EP079|Friend and Foe Alike]]''. Despite being exhausted from battling Team Rocket earlier, he still wanted to fight. After defeating Happy, he faced off against [[Zippo]], Ritchie's {{p|Charmander}}, but due to being exhausted by all his battles, Pikachu was defeated.<br />
<br />
In ''[[EP081|Pallet Party Panic]]'', Ash decided to take Pikachu, along with some of his other Pokémon, to the [[Orange Islands]] with him.<br />
<br />
=====Orange Islands=====<br />
In ''[[EP086|Pikachu Re-Volts]]'', [[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]] used a {{p|Drowzee}} to take over the minds of many Pokémon on [[Mandarin Island North]], including Pikachu. To rescue the Pokémon, Ash taunted Pikachu into using Thunderbolt on him, which also hit the machine that Drowzee was wired to, freeing all of the Pokémon from its control.<br />
<br />
In ''[[EP093|Navel Maneuvers]]'', Ash called Pikachu to help mold a block of ice into a sled as part of his competition against [[Danny]]. He later rode in the sled along with his Bulbasaur and Squirtle in a race against Danny and his team. In the end, Ash managed to win the coveted {{badge|Sea Ruby}}.<br />
<br />
In ''[[EP099|The Mandarin Island Miss Match]]'', Ash used Pikachu in a battle against [[Lorelei]]{{tt|*|Referred to as Prima in the dub}} of the [[Elite Four]], where he faced her {{TP|Lorelei|Cloyster}}. Eventually, Pikachu lost.<br />
<br />
In ''[[EP103|Misty Meets Her Match]]'', Pikachu participated in the first part of Ash's battle with [[Rudy]], using his Thunderbolt to blast targets. He then faced off against Rudy's {{p|Electabuzz}}, which kept shrugging off Pikachu's attacks. He was eventually defeated by a powerful {{m|Thunder Punch}}.<br />
[[File:PikaMeowthOffer.png|thumb|left|220px|Pikachu offering {{MTR}} an apple]]<br />
In [[EP104|the following episode]], Team Rocket had a plan to capture Pikachu that involved tying him up with Meowth. This succeeded at first, but Meowth and Pikachu got separated from Jessie and [[James]]. Being lost on the island, the two Pokémon had to work together to defeat powerful Pokémon and get to safety. In the end, Ash, Misty, and {{Tracey}} managed to find the duo first and separated them from each other.<br />
<br />
In ''[[EP108|Pokémon Double Trouble]]'', Pikachu was used in Ash's Gym battle against [[Luana]], where he had to fight alongside {{AP|Charizard}}. Despite both Pokémon being eager to battle, they started getting angry at each other right before the battle, affecting their teamwork negatively. However, after seeing Charizard being repeatedly attacked by Luana's {{p|Alakazam}} and {{p|Marowak}}, Pikachu decided to help his partner, cementing their cooperation. Both of their opponents ultimately knocked each other out accidentally, thus earning Ash the {{badge|Jade Star}} and allowing him to enter the [[Orange League]].<br />
<br />
In ''[[EP111|Hello, Pummelo!]]'', Pikachu was Ash's first Pokémon used in his battle against {{OBP|Drake|Orange League}}, where he faced off against Drake's {{p|Ditto}}. Despite Ditto being able to copy Pikachu's attacks, it wasn't in as good of shape as Pikachu was. After continuously exchanging attacks, Pikachu managed to defeat it. Pikachu was then recalled when Drake sent out his {{p|Onix}}. [[EP112|Later]], Pikachu faced off against Drake's powerful {{TP|Drake|Dragonite}}, who had already defeated three of Ash's Pokémon. After an exchange of attacks, Pikachu defeated Dragonite, earning Ash the [[Winner's Trophy]] and a spot in the [[Palace of Victory|Orange League Hall of Fame]].<br />
<br />
In ''[[EP116|The Rivalry Revival]]'', Pikachu battled [[Gary's Eevee]] and was eventually defeated after Eevee used a powerful {{m|Skull Bash}}. Later on in the episode, Ash decided to take Pikachu, along with his other Pokémon, to [[Johto]] with him.<br />
<br />
===={{aniseries|GS}}====<br />
In ''[[EP118|The Double Trouble Header]]'', Ash used Pikachu in his second battle against {{an|Casey}}, where he faced her {{TP|Casey|Chikorita}}. Despite Casey having only recently obtained {{p|Chikorita}}, it quickly gained the upper hand. Just then, the battle was interrupted by Team Rocket, who tried to steal their Pokémon. Their plan failed, however, when Pikachu and Chikorita were reunited with their Trainers and teamed up to defeat Team Rocket.<br />
<br />
In ''[[EP131|Fighting Flyer with Fire]]'', Pikachu was used in Ash's [[Violet Gym]] battle against [[Falkner]], where he battled and defeated Falkner's {{p|Hoothoot}} and {{p|Dodrio}}. Pikachu then briefly faced Falkner's {{p|Pidgeot}}, but since he was already tired from his previous matches, he was quickly defeated by a {{m|Whirlwind}}.<br />
[[File:Bugsy Scyther Fury Cutter.png|thumb|220px|Pikachu struggling against Scyther]]<br />
In ''[[EP144|Gettin' The Bugs Out]]'', Ash used Pikachu as his third Pokémon in his [[Azalea Gym]] battle, where he went up against [[Bugsy]]'s {{p|Metapod}} and defeated it. He then went up against Bugsy's last, and most powerful Pokémon, {{TP|Bugsy|Scyther}}. Despite having the type advantage, Pikachu's Thunderbolts constantly missed because of {{p|Scyther}}'s Double Team. The real Scyther then appeared behind Pikachu and hit him with a series of {{m|Fury Cutter}} attacks, knocking him out.<br />
<br />
In ''[[EP158|A Goldenrod Opportunity]]'', Pikachu faced off against [[Whitney]]'s powerful {{TP|Whitney|Miltank}}, who had already easily defeated [[Ash's Cyndaquil]] and Totodile using {{m|Rollout}}. Ash had Pikachu use Thunderbolt on Miltank since she got wet by Totodile's earlier {{m|Water Gun}}. However, due to Miltank spinning at great speed, she had already dried up, making Thunderbolt useless. Afterwards, Pikachu was defeated by two Rollout attacks, causing Ash to lose the battle. In [[EP159|the following episode]], Pikachu battled Miltank again in Ash's rematch. Due to Ash's strategy with Cyndaquil and Totodile, Miltank lost her balance. This allowed Pikachu to throw Miltank in the air by hiding in one of the ditches and then finish her off with a Thunderbolt, earning Ash the {{badge|Plain}}.<br />
<br />
In ''[[EP161|The Bug Stops Here]]'', Pikachu and Ash entered the [[Bug-Catching Contest]]. The two encountered a {{p|Weedle}}, but before Pikachu could attack it, Casey's Chikorita intervened, and Casey caught the Hairy Bug Pokémon. Later, Ash and Pikachu chased after a Scyther, but accidentally disturbed a swarm of {{p|Beedrill}} in the process. Pikachu managed to shock one of the Beedrill with Thunderbolt, giving Ash the chance to catch it. With this capture, Ash managed to win the contest, winning him a [[Sun Stone]].<br />
<br />
Pikachu befriended a group of Pichu in ''[[EP179|The Apple Corp!]]''. At first, they framed Pikachu for eating some apples, but when the Pichu were attacked by a Fearow, Pikachu warded it off with Thunderbolt. Later, Pikachu was kidnapped by Team Rocket after they sucked away its electricity. However, the Pichu eventually managed to restore Pikachu's electricity, and together, they blasted Team Rocket off.<br />
<br />
In ''[[EP182|From Ghost to Ghost]]'', Pikachu was used in Ash's Gym battle against [[Morty]]. He faced off against Morty's {{p|Gastly}} but was defeated by a single {{m|Night Shade}}.<br />
<br />
In ''[[EP209|Machoke, Machoke Man!]]'', Ash chose Pikachu as his first Pokémon in his Gym battle against [[Chuck]]. Pikachu battled Chuck's {{p|Poliwrath}}, but his Thunderbolt and Quick Attack did not defeat it. Afterwards, it hit Pikachu with a series of powerful {{m|Double Slap}}s, knocking him out.<br />
<br />
In ''[[EP224|Nerves of Steelix!]]'', Ash sent out Pikachu to battle Jasmine's {{p|Magnemite}}. Both Pokémon proved to be equal in speed, but finally, Ash decided to let Pikachu take a {{m|Thunder Wave}} from Magnemite so it could get hit by a Thunderbolt, causing a lot of damage. Pikachu then finished it off with a Quick Attack, crashing it into a wall. Next, Pikachu faced off against Jasmine's strongest Pokémon, {{TP|Jasmine|Steelix}}. Due to his previous battle against Magnemite, Pikachu was tired and subsequently defeated by a powerful {{m|Iron Tail}}.<br />
[[File:EP238.png|thumb|left|220px|Pikachu facing Piloswine]]<br />
In ''[[EP237|As Cold as Pryce]]'', Pikachu was seen aiding Cyndaquil in reviving [[Pryce's Piloswine]]. In [[EP238|the following episode]], Pikachu was sent out to battle Piloswine, who had already defeated Cyndaquil. Though the battle was well-fought, Pikachu wound up receiving more damage. Despite this, he refused to give up and was about to attack again when [[Pryce]] forfeited, giving Ash the win and earning him the {{badge|Glacier}}.<br />
<br />
In ''[[EP252|Fangs for Nothin']]'', Ash chose Pikachu as his first Pokémon in his Gym battle against [[Clair]], pitting him against her {{p|Kingdra}}. Since Ash was unaware of Kingdra's {{t|Dragon|secondary type}}, Pikachu's Electric attacks and [[physical move]]s didn't affect the Dragon Pokémon, forcing him to follow Misty and Brock's advice and recall Pikachu. Their battle was later stopped due to Team Rocket's theft of the [[Dragon Fang]]. In [[EP253|the following episode]], Pikachu helped stop the rampage of a {{p|Dragonite}} that belonged to the old {{gy|Blackthorn}} {{OBP|Gym Leader|EP253}}.<br />
<br />
In [[EP254|the next episode]], Pikachu was used in Ash's rematch against Clair, where he faced her {{p|Gyarados}}. Despite Pikachu having the double type-advantage, Gyarados proved to be powerful and initially gained the upper hand. Eventually, Pikachu got close enough to defeat the Atrocious Pokémon with a powerful Thunderbolt. Clair then sent out her {{TP|Clair|Dragonair}} to battle Pikachu. It managed to dodge Pikachu's attacks and knock him out with a point-blank Hyper Beam.<br />
<br />
Pikachu was used many times during the [[Silver Conference]]. In ''[[EP266|A Claim to Flame!]]'', he defeated [[Salvador]]'s {{p|Furret}}. In ''[[EP268|Tie One On!]]'', this good showing was followed by [[Vincent|Jackson]]'s {{p|Azumarill}}, but Pikachu was then defeated by Jackson's {{Shiny}} {{p|Magneton}}. In ''[[EP271|Playing with Fire!]]'', Pikachu was Ash's first Pokémon used in his battle against {{jo|Harrison}}, defeating his {{p|Kecleon}} before being defeated in turn by [[Harrison's Sneasel]].<br />
[[File:Pikachu illness.png|thumb|220px|Pikachu suffering from an illness]]<br />
After saying farewell to Misty and Brock in ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later!]]'', Ash decided to only take Pikachu with him to [[Hoenn]], and left Pallet Town with him at the end of the episode. In [[EP274|the following episode]], while getting ready to depart for Hoenn by ship, Ash and Pikachu were attacked by Team Rocket, who used an electromagnet to stick Pikachu to it and drain his electricity. Eventually, thanks to some wild Pokémon and Officer Jenny, Pikachu was saved. The next day, Ash tried to wake Pikachu up, but he soon noticed that he was suffering from a severe illness caused by the electromagnet.<br />
<br />
===={{aniseries|AG}}====<br />
=====Hoenn=====<br />
In ''[[AG001|Get the Show on the Road!]]'', Pikachu was treated by [[Professor Birch]], who strapped him to a machine to drain out the overload of electricity he received. However, the machine exploded when the electricity levels became too high. Pikachu then ran off, with Ash and Professor Birch chasing after him. Eventually, Ash found Pikachu, but in his confused state, Pikachu attacked him and fled off a cliff. Ash jumped after him and caught him before grabbing onto a branch. Pikachu tried resisting, but Ash was able to get through to him and calm him down. When Ash and Pikachu were pulled up to safety, Team Rocket arrived and captured Pikachu. However, their [[Team Rocket's mechas|mecha]] accidentally cured Pikachu of his illness, and he was able to blast them off, destroying {{an|May}}'s bike in the process.<br />
<br />
In ''[[AG003|There's no Place like Hoenn]]'', Ash used Pikachu in an unofficial battle against [[Norman]], since Ash only had one Pokémon at the time instead of the three required. In the end, Norman's {{p|Vigoroth}} defeated Pikachu with a series of {{m|Scratch}} attacks. After their match, Team Rocket tried to steal Pikachu and Vigoroth but accidentally stole [[May's Torchic]] instead. Later, Pikachu was used alongside Vigoroth to battle Team Rocket and blasted them off in addition to rescuing Torchic.<br />
<br />
In ''[[AG013|All Things Bright and Beautifly!]]'', Ash began teaching Pikachu Iron Tail in preparation for his [[Rustboro Gym]] battle, a {{type|Rock}} Gym, and got help from a {{pkmn|Coordinator}} named {{an|Chaz}} and his {{p|Sentret}}. Despite their effort and training, Pikachu was still unable to fully master Iron Tail.<br />
[[File:AG016.png|thumb|left|220px|Pikachu fighting against Roxanne's Nosepass]]<br />
In ''[[AG016|The Winner by a Nosepass]]'', Pikachu was Ash's last Pokémon used in his Gym battle against [[Roxanne]], where he went up against her {{p|Geodude}} and eventually defeated it. Pikachu then faced [[Roxanne's Nosepass]], who took advantage of his difficulties in mastering Iron Tail. Despite this, Pikachu defeated Nosepass and mastered Iron Tail in the process, as well as earning Ash the {{badge|Stone}}.<br />
<br />
In ''[[AG040|Watt's with Wattson?]]'', after entering the [[Mauville Gym]], Ash and his friends encountered a robot {{p|Raikou}}. Thinking it would attack, Ash ordered Pikachu to attack the robot with Iron Tail, causing an explosion. This destroyed the robot but also overcharged Pikachu with electricity, unbeknownst to the rest. Later, Pikachu was Ash's first Pokémon used in his Gym battle against [[Wattson]]. Due to being overcharged, Pikachu defeated Wattson's Magnemite, {{p|Voltorb}}, and Magneton with one attack each, earning Ash the {{badge|Dynamo}}.<br />
<br />
In ''[[AG056|Going, Going, Yawn]]'', Ash used Pikachu as his third Pokémon in his [[Lavaridge Gym]] battle. He was sent out against [[Flannery]]'s {{p|Slugma}} after it {{status|Burn|burned}} {{AP|Treecko}} and put {{AP|Corphish}} to {{status|sleep}}. During the battle, he finally broke {{p|Magcargo}}'s Reflect that was affecting previous battles. Then, Pikachu defeated Slugma and proceeded to battle Flannery's last Pokémon, {{p|Torkoal}}. Despite Pikachu's efforts, Torkoal used {{m|Overheat}} to defeat him.<br />
<br />
In ''[[AG070|Balance of Power]]'', Ash used Pikachu as his first Pokémon in his official [[Petalburg Gym]] battle against Norman, and he went up against {{p|Slakoth}} but was recalled after Slakoth's {{m|Blizzard}} temporary disabled him. Later, Pikachu faced off against Norman's Vigoroth. Through strategy, Ash had Pikachu let himself get hit by Vigoroth, which activated Pikachu's {{a|Static}} Ability and paralyzed Vigoroth. This allowed Pikachu to defeat Vigoroth, but he fainted right afterwards due to extensive fatigue from the battle, thus ending it in a draw.<br />
<br />
In ''[[AG085|Sky High Gym Battle!]]'', Pikachu was Ash's second Pokémon in his [[Fortree Gym]] battle against [[Winona]]. Pikachu battled Winona's {{p|Pelipper}}, and despite having a major type advantage, Pelipper proved to be a formidable opponent. As a result, Ash decided Pikachu should fight at close range and told him to use Quick Attack to get closer before using Thunder on Pelipper. With both Pokémon being hit by powerful attacks, Pikachu and Pelipper both fainted.<br />
<br />
In ''[[AG089|A Scare to Remember!]]'', Pikachu developed amnesia after an attack by Team Rocket and their machine. Team Rocket took advantage of this and tricked Pikachu into joining them. He was then ordered to attack the group. Trying to get Pikachu back, Ash jumped on their balloon. Team Rocket ordered Pikachu to hit Ash with Thunderbolt, but this caused them to get blasted off while Ash and Pikachu fell in a river. As Ash protected him, Pikachu managed to regain his memory and got rid of Team Rocket once again.<br />
[[File:Blue Orb possession.png|thumb|220px|Pikachu being possessed by the Blue Orb]]<br />
In ''[[AG097|Gaining Groudon]]'', Ash and the group got on a submarine owned by [[Team Magma]], where they met Team Magma's leader [[Maxie]]. An explosion triggered by {{DL|Kyogre and Groudon (Ruby and Sapphire series)|Kyogre}} caused the [[Blue Orb]] to fly off Maxie's desk. Pikachu managed to catch the orb before Team Magma could regain it, but the orb then melted into Pikachu's body, greatly increasing his power but also making him lose control over himself. In [[AG098|the next episode]], Pikachu awakened {{DL|Kyogre and Groudon (Ruby and Sapphire series)|Groudon}} and aided it in its battle with {{p|Kyogre}}. Due to everyone's teamwork, {{p|Groudon}} was able to defeat Kyogre, causing the Blue Orb to emerge from Pikachu's body. Pikachu was then saved by Kyogre and later bade it and Groudon farewell.<br />
<br />
In ''[[AG100|Solid as a Solrock]]'', Ash used Pikachu and {{AP|Swellow}} in the [[Double Battle]] against [[Tate and Liza]] with their respective {{TP|Tate|Solrock}} and {{TP|Liza|Lunatone}}. Eventually, the battle was interrupted by Team Rocket, who destroyed the Gym using their machine. Following Team Rocket's defeat, they agreed to resume their battle outdoors. With Solrock and Lunatone gaining the upper hand, Ash thought about how to negate their dual attacks and then had Pikachu use Thunder on the clouds. Lightning struck Pikachu and Swellow, which the two managed to endure, thus creating a "Thunder Armor". Using this technique, Pikachu and Swellow managed to pierce through Solrock's Solar Beam and Lunatone's {{m|Light Screen}}, and defeated them with Iron Tail and Aerial Ace, earning Ash the {{badge|Mind}}.<br />
<br />
In ''[[AG101|Vanity Affair]]'', Ash used Pikachu against [[Hoenn Elite Four]] member [[Drake]] and his {{p|Shelgon}}. However, Pikachu quickly lost, which dealt a serious blow to the massive ego Ash had developed at the time.<br />
<br />
In ''[[AG110|The Great Eight Fate!]]'', Ash chose Pikachu and {{AP|Snorunt}} as his first two Pokémon in a Double Battle in the first round of his [[Sootopolis Gym]] battle. They went up against [[Juan]]'s {{p|Sealeo}} and Seaking. Eventually, Snorunt was knocked out by Seaking's Hyper Beam, and Ash sent out Corphish. Soon after, Pikachu defeated Seaking and rode on Corphish's back as it headed towards Sealeo and defeated it, thus ending the first round of the Gym battle in Ash's favor. Both Pokémon were then recalled. In [[AG111|the next episode]], Pikachu was used as Ash's last Pokémon in the second round of the battle, going up against Juan's last and strongest Pokémon, his {{p|Milotic}}. Eventually, Milotic tried hitting Pikachu with Iron Tail in an ambush, but he dodged it, climbed onto Milotic's body, and flipped the Tender Pokémon into the water.

In ''[[DP074|Pika and Goliath!]]'', an arrogant Electric-type Trainer named [[Sho]] asked Ash to trade Pikachu to him, as he already had a Pichu and Raichu and wanted to have the full evolutionary line in his team. Ash refused, so Sho challenged him to a battle against Raichu. Unlike Lt. Surge's Raichu, this particular Raichu was fast in addition to knowing powerful attacks. The battle soon ended with Pikachu's defeat. During his recovery, Pikachu began to reconsider his earlier decision to not evolve. When Ash went to check on Pikachu, he found both Pikachu and his Thunder Stone missing, causing him to think Pikachu may have decided to evolve into Raichu.

He used his Thunderbolt attack to light up the [[Contest Hall|hall]], captivating the judges' attention. [[Hermione]] commented that, although Ash didn't quite get what it means to be a Pokémon Stylist, he was at least making an effort to show off his Pokémon, instead of focusing solely on the clothing aspect. For this reason, Pikachu was among the three finalists, along with [[Dawn's Buneary]] and [[Cocoa]]'s {{p|Mismagius}}.

After becoming acquainted with their rescuers, Ash challenged Clemont to a battle, which Clemont reluctantly agreed to. In the battle, Pikachu faced [[Clemont's Bunnelby]]. Despite Clemont admitting that he only recently caught Bunnelby, he proved to be quite a challenge for Pikachu. However, the battle was interrupted by Team Rocket, who once again attempted to steal Pikachu. Ash attempted to stop them, but Jessie had her {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} reflect Pikachu's attacks with {{m|Mirror Coat}}. Pikachu was saved by a {{AP|Froakie}}, who shielded him with its body at the cost of being injured. With Bunnelby and Froakie's help, Pikachu blasted the trio off.

In ''[[JN046|Getting More Than You Battled For!]]'', Ash chose Pikachu as his first Pokémon in his and [[Goh]]'s battle against {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}} on [[Cero Island]], teaming him up with Goh's Cinderace. However, Pikachu was soon defeated, and Ash sent out {{AP|Lucario}} to replace him.<br />
<br />
In ''[[JN077|Ultra Exciting from the Shocking Start!]]'', Pikachu was Ash's third Pokémon during his World Coronation Series battle against Volkner, being sent out to face his {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Rotom|Fan}} {{p|Rotom}} after it had defeated Gengar. Pikachu managed to bind Rotom with Electroweb, but just when he was about to use Thunderbolt on it, Volkner switched it out for Electivire, whose Motor Drive rendered Thunderbolt useless. After fighting against Electivire for a while, Pikachu was recalled and replaced with Lucario. Once both Ash and Volkner were down to their last Pokémon, Ash called Pikachu back to the battle to face Electivire again. Eventually, Ash decided to finish the match by using 10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt. The Z-Move proved to be too much for Electivire's Motor Drive to absorb, leading to it being defeated and thus giving Ash the victory.<br />
[[File:JN082.png|thumb|250px|left|Pikachu "Feastamaxed" by Gigantamax Alcremie]]<br />
In ''[[JN082|The Sweet Taste of Battle!]]'', Pikachu helped Ash during [[Opal]]'s [[All-Alcremie Decoration Challenge]]. After Ash had won the contest, Opal challenged him to a battle, with Ash using Pikachu against Opal's {{p|Alcremie}}. While Pikachu managed to land several Iron Tails on Alcremie, some of Alcremie's cream got stuck on Pikachu's tail, softening his blows. After Pikachu had managed to shake off Alcremie's {{m|Attract}} and block her {{m|Dazzling Gleam}}, Opal chose to Gigantamax her Pokémon and had it use {{m|G-Max Finale}}, covering Pikachu in huge amounts of cream. Pikachu then started growing as well, becoming big enough to swallow an entire G-Max Finale cream projectile whole, much to Opal's shock. At first, everyone assumed that Pikachu had Gigantamaxed as well, but when Ash called for a G-Max Volt Crash and Pikachu didn't attack, it turned out that Pikachu had just eaten all the cream Alcremie had created with the [[G-Max Move]] and grown giant and fat as a result. As such, the battle was subsequently called off.<br />
<br />
In ''[[JN085|Battle Three With Bea!]]'', Pikachu was the first Pokémon used during his second rematch against Bea at the [[Stow-on-Side Stadium]], first facing Grapploct. Pikachu's attempt at ensnaring Grapploct in an Electroweb proved unsuccessful, as it was able to use its stretchy tentacles to strike him through the web with a {{m|Close Combat}}. As such, Ash chose to recall Pikachu. In [[JN086|the next episode]], Pikachu was called back to the battlefield to face Bea's {{p|Hawlucha}}. By improving on a strategy he had used against both Lt. Surge and Visquez, Ash was able to repel Hawlucha's {{m|Sky Attack}}, while also dealing damage to it, allowing Pikachu to subsequently defeat it with a super effective Thunderbolt. Next, Pikachu faced Grapploct again, but wound up being ensnared by an Octolock once more, and was defeated soon afterward.<br />
<br />
In ''[[JN090|Showdown at the Gates of Warp!]]'', Pikachu [[Devolution|devolved]] back into Pichu and finally an {{pkmn|Egg}} as a result of a clash between {{OBP|Dialga|recurring}} and {{OBP|Palkia|recurring}} distorting time. After {{p|Arceus}} stopped the fight between Dialga and Palkia, the {{pkmn|category|Temporal and Spatial Pokémon}} repaired the distortions their fighting had caused and restored all the devolved Pokémon back to normal.<br />
<br />
In ''[[JN102|Battling in the Freezing Raid!]]'', Pikachu was the third Pokémon used by Ash in a Raid Battle against an {{p|Articuno}}. Pikachu was able to land a powerful Thunderbolt onto the Freeze Pokémon before being defeated by a {{m|Sheer Cold}}.<br />
[[File:JN118.png|thumb|250px|Pikachu battling Steven's Metagross]]<br />
In ''[[JN105|Reuniting for the First Time!]]'', Pikachu was Ash's last Pokémon in his battle against [[Wallace]] in [[Lilycove City]], going up against his Milotic. Pikachu was ultimately victorious, making Ash the winner of the battle.<br />
<br />
In ''[[JN112|Helping the Hometown Hero!]]'', Pikachu took part in a Battle Royal against [[Professor Kukui's Incineroar]], [[Kiawe's Marowak]], and Gladion's {{p|Nihilego}}, {{DL|Ultra Beasts (anime)|Lillie}}. After Lillie and Marowak had been defeated, Pikachu and Incineroar were the only ones left standing, although the ultimate victor of the match was left unclear.<br />
<br />
In ''[[JN118|Battling as Hard as Stone!]]'', Pikachu was the final Pokémon Ash used during his [[Masters Eight Tournament]] match against {{an|Steven Stone|Steven}}. He initially faced {{p|Cradily}}, managing to defeat it after trapping its tentacles in an Electroweb. Next, he came face to face with Steven's Mega Metagross, whose ability to calculate and predict all of Pikachu's moves made it seemingly impossible for Pikachu to land a hit on it. Ash managed to overcome this by performing 10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt, dealing enough damage to Metagross to allow Pikachu to finish it with an Iron Tail, making Ash the winner of the match.<br />
<br />
In ''[[JN123|Bewitch, Battle, and Bewilder!]]'', Pikachu was the third Pokémon used by Ash during his Masters Eight Tournament battle against Cynthia. He first went up against her {{p|Togekiss}}, only to end up being made to [[flinch]] by a {{a|Serene Grace}}-enhanced {{m|Air Slash}}, before Cynthia sent out {{p|Gastrodon}}. Despite being at a type disadvantage, however, Ash was able to defeat Gastrodon through some clever thinking. Pikachu then went on to also knock out Cynthia's Spiritomb but was caught in its last-second {{m|Destiny Bond}}, resulting in him fainting along with his opponent.<br />
[[File:JN132.png|thumb|250px|left|Pikachu's final clash with Charizard]]<br />
In ''[[JN129|A Flood of Torrential Gains!]]'', Pikachu was the first Pokémon Ash used in his Masters Eight Tournament match against Leon. He went up against {{p|Cinderace}}, with his attacks quickly proving to be useless against Cinderace's Ability, {{a|Libero}}. Because of this, Ash decided to switch Pikachu in and save him for later. In ''[[JN131|Paring Pokémon While Parrying!]]'', Pikachu returned to the battle after all of Ash's other Pokémon had been defeated to face Gigantamax Charizard. After enduring some of Charizard's [[Max Move]]s, Pikachu's 10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt clashed with Charizard's G-Max Wildfire, canceling out both moves as Charizard returned to its normal size and form. <br />
<br />
At the start of [[JN132|the next episode]], Eternatus appeared above Wyndon Stadium and recharged Ash and Leon's Dynamax Bands, prompting Leon to temporarily recall Charizard and Gigantamax his Cinderace, with Ash doing the same with Pikachu. The two Pokémon's clash of G-Max Moves ended with both of them reverting to normal and Cinderace fainting, leaving Leon with just Charizard. During the subsequent battle between the two partner Pokémon, Pikachu took a severe hit from a {{m|Fire Blast}} and momentarily collapsed, experiencing a vision of all of Ash's Pokémon cheering for him. Backed by the mental support of his friends, Pikachu stood back up and executed one more furious exchange of blows with Charizard. While both Pokémon were completely exhausted following the clash, ultimately, Pikachu was able to stay standing as Charizard fell, ending Leon's winning streak, making Ash the winner of the tournament, and earning him the title of Monarch. Later, Pikachu joined Ash and the rest of his team for the awards ceremony.<br />
[[File:Ash Epilogue.png|thumb|250px|Pikachu resuming his journey with Ash]]<br />
In ''[[JN136|This Could be the Start of Something Big!]]'', Pikachu joined up with Lucario and Goh's Galar first partner Pokémon against Lugia in a Raid Battle. Despite firing off multiple strong attacks—including combining their moves for extra power—they were unable to defeat the Diving Pokémon. Shortly after leaving the Cerise Laboratory, Ash and Goh separated and he and Ash leave on their own journey.<br />
<br />
In ''[[JN138|A Fated Face-Off!]]'', Pikachu reunited with Misty and later acted as the referee for the match between her and Ash. In the [[JN139|next episode]], he reunited with Brock.<br />
<br />
In ''[[JN145|Rocket Revengers!]]'', Pikachu got isolated due to one of Team Rocket's schemes and was forced to hold them off until Ash arrived. Thankfully, a wild {{an|Latias}} that had been following Ash intervened and sent the evil group blasting off.<br />
<br />
In ''[[JN147|The Rainbow and the Pokémon Master!]]'', Pikachu and Ash said goodbye to Misty and Brock and returned to Pallet Town. As Ash pondered over what it truly meant to be a [[Pokémon Master]], Pikachu listened as Ash came to a personal conclusion about his journey. Deciding he had still yet to achieve his dream, Ash asked Pikachu if he would be there when he finally became a Pokémon Master, with Pikachu responding affirmatively. As such, they resolved to resume traveling, and Pikachu left Pallet Town with his Trainer once more.<br />
<br />
===Personality and characteristics===<br />
{{bulbanews|Personality & Development: Ash's Pikachu}}<br />
[[File:Pikachu and Togepi.png|thumb|left|220px|Pikachu and Togepi]]<br />
After Ash gained Pikachu's loyalty in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', Pikachu became extremely loyal to Ash and has maintained this loyalty, and while he is not always immediately trusting of strangers, he is generally friendly to humans and Pokémon alike. He acted as a guardian and big brother to [[Misty's Togepi]], and has been seen mediating and even breaking up fights among other Pokémon, such as in ''[[PK01|Pikachu's Vacation]]''. In ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', Pikachu, {{MTR}}, and Meowth's clone were the only Pokémon not to participate in the giant battle; Pikachu stood motionless as his [[Pikachutwo|clone]] repeatedly slapped his face. Contrary to his distrusting nature, Pikachu took a liking to {{an|Misty}} very early in the series, and he has retained this liking of Misty throughout the series, such as when he was very happy to see her in ''[[AG132|The Scheme Team]]'', ''[[SM042|Alola, Kanto!]]'', and ''[[JN138|A Fated Face-Off!]]''. Pikachu has been shown to be willing to take commands from Trainers other than Ash, such as in ''[[XY033|Calling from Beyond the Aura!]]'', ''[[XY115|Battling at Full Volume!]]'', and ''[[SM030|The Ol' Raise and Switch!]]''.<br />
[[File:Pikachu ketchup.png|220px|thumb|Pikachu and his love of ketchup]]<br />
During the Hoenn saga, Pikachu [[AG089|temporarily developed amnesia]] and sided with {{TRT}} for a while. On several occasions, Pikachu has developed an "electric flu" causing him to become overcharged and extremely powerful. During these instances, Pikachu will sometimes accidentally let off electric outbursts which can be set off on anyone, including Ash. In all of these cases, Pikachu did not mean harm upon anyone.<br />
<br />
As shown in a handful of episodes, the first being ''[[EP042|Showdown at Dark City]]'', Pikachu has a special fondness for ketchup, but he will eat and enjoy almost any other human or Pokémon food. In ''[[BW116|The Fires Of A Red-Hot Reunion]]'', Pikachu also displayed a fondness for orange juice. In ''[[SM104|That's Some Spicy Island Research!]]'', Pikachu was revealed to have a distaste for [[Poni Island]] radishes. A running joke in the series also seems to be Pikachu using Thunderbolt at the beginning of each series to accidentally destroy a female companion's bike or unintentionally shock the companion herself. This has happened to Misty, {{an|May}}, {{an|Dawn}}, {{an|Iris}}, and {{an|Bonnie}}.<br />
<br />
Pikachu, like his Trainer, is always happy to battle. He often tries his very best, but when he loses, he doesn't complain or feel bad about himself, especially when Ash reassures him. Ash and Pikachu are almost identical personality-wise, and thus are the perfect match for one another. Most others agree, except for [[Burgundy]], who in ''[[BW019|A Connoisseur's Revenge!]]'' said that Ash had a terrible relationship with all of his Pokémon, though this is more due to her inexperience in determining such relationships. Though rare, the two can still butt heads at times. When they first met, Pikachu would shock Ash with electricity out of vitriol. While being zapped by Pikachu still happens regularly for poor Ash, it's usually when he angers his buddy (such as when Ash rubs and pulls Pikachu's cheeks), or by accident (when Ash grabs Pikachu's tail by mistake).<br />
[[File:ZappedAgain.png|thumb|250px|left|Pikachu does not like having his cheeks rubbed]]<br />
In general, {{p|Pikachu}} as a species are not particularly powerful, but Ash's Pikachu is a notable anomaly, overcoming odds in {{pkmn|battle}} numerous times. In ''[[EP003|Ash Catches a Pokémon]]'', {{MTR}} remarked that Pikachu's power "exceeds its evolutionary level". In ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]'', he defeated [[Brock's Onix]] with an {{type|Electric}} attack that triggered the sprinkler system causing Onix to be drenched in water, one of its weaknesses. Ash's Pikachu has also triumphed over some very powerful Pokémon that had previously defeated several of Ash's other Pokémon, such as {{OBP|Drake|Orange League}}'s {{p|Dragonite}}, {{ho|Tyson}}'s {{p|Metagross}}, and {{an|Korrina}}'s [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] {{TP|Korrina|Lucario}}. He was also the second Pokémon in the series to defeat a Legendary Pokémon in battle, defeating {{an|Brandon}}'s {{DL|Brandon's legendary giants|Regice}} to win the Brave Symbol in ''[[AG190|Pace - The Final Frontier!]]''. He later fought {{si|Tobias}}'s {{p|Latios}} to a draw in [[DP189|the semifinals]] of the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]], and defeated [[Gladion's Silvally]] and the {{DL|Guardian deities (anime)|recurring Tapu Koko}} commanded by {{an|Professor Kukui}} in separate battles at [[Manalo Stadium]]. He has helped Ash win countless battles and [[Gym]] and {{pkmn|League}} matches.<br />
<br />
The possibility of evolving into Raichu was first raised and discussed in the episode ''[[EP014|Electric Shock Showdown]]''. After suffering a crushing defeat by [[Lt. Surge's Raichu]], Nurse Joy presented Ash with a Thunder Stone. Ash allowed Pikachu to decide, but he refused, having decided to become stronger as he is, and defeated Raichu by using superior speed. In the Sinnoh region, Pikachu [[DP074|battled]] another Raichu belonging to a trainer named [[Sho]]. The two were not only even matches in power but, unlike before, also in speed; ultimately Raichu used {{m|Hyper Beam}} to secure victory, a move Pikachu could not learn. At a Pokémon Center, Ash revealed that he kept the Thunder Stone he acquired in Vermilion City in case Pikachu changed his mind about evolving. Once again, Pikachu chose not to evolve and defeated Sho's Raichu in a rematch with a combination of speed, power, and spinning techniques learned from Dawn. During this event, {{TRT}} stole the Thunder Stone, as they also wanted Pikachu to stay as he is.<br />
<br />
However, at times, Pikachu has lived up to his species' frail and brittle strengths, particularly in Gym battles, where he was defeated with relative ease by his opponent; for example, he was overpowered very easily by Lt. Surge's Raichu, [[Sabrina's Kadabra]], [[Blaine's Magmar]], [[Bugsy]]'s {{p|Scyther}}, [[Whitney's Miltank]], [[Chuck]]'s {{p|Poliwrath}}, [[Roark's Rampardos]], [[Fantina's Drifblim]], [[Cress]]'s {{p|Panpour}}, and [[Viola]]'s {{p|Surskit}}, despite having type advantages against Scyther, Poliwrath, Drifblim, Panpour, and Surskit. He also drew against [[Winona]]'s {{p|Pelipper}} and [[Norman]]'s {{p|Vigoroth}}, and struggled against [[Crasher Wake]]'s {{p|Floatzel}}. Furthermore, he has lost twice to [[Trip's Serperior]], as a Snivy in ''[[BW001|In the Shadow of Zekrom!]]'' and a Servine in ''[[BW010|A Rival Battle for Club Champ!]]'', despite Trip being a starting Trainer and recently having obtained Serperior. In addition, Pikachu tends to noticeably struggle when an opponent hinders his mobility in some fashion, such as when the aforementioned Panpour stopped Volt Tackle with a {{m|Mud Sport}} that covered the battlefield, when [[Burgh]]'s {{p|Leavanny}} impared his speed and accuracy by immobilizing his tail with {{m|String Shot}}, when the icy battlefield of Viola's Surskit threw him off balance in the first battle, or when [[Wulfric]]'s {{p|Bergmite}} prevented him from using Quick Attack by numbing his legs with {{m|Icy Wind}}.<br />
[[File:Pikachu and Dedenne.png|thumb|250px|Pikachu and Clemont's Dedenne]]<br />
Pikachu is also the only one of Ash's Pokémon to accompany him to the [[Hoenn]], [[Unova]], [[Kalos]], and [[Alola]] regions, and was intended to be the only Pokémon to accompany him to [[Sinnoh]] before {{AP|Aipom}} was discovered to have stowed away on the ship Ash was taking. Up until the capture of [[Dawn's Pachirisu]], Pikachu was the only {{type|Electric}} Pokémon in the series owned by a main character.<br />
<br />
Following their first encounter with him in ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'', the Team Rocket trio made it their life's mission to capture Pikachu for their boss. Sometimes, they succeed with nets, cages, capsules, or one of their [[Team Rocket's mechas|mechas]], but most of the time their plans always failed by Ash and his friends or something else involved. Whenever Pikachu gets released from their trap and reunites with Ash, he sends Team Rocket [[blasting off]] with his {{t|Electric}} attacks. Most of the time, in this case, his Thunderbolt. Sometimes, Pikachu sends them away even when he didn't get stolen. On other occasions, he battles them with Ash.<br />
<br />
Even with his high level of electrical power, Pikachu has not stopped learning new attacks. Upon learning that [[Roxanne]], the Rustboro Gym Leader used Rock types, Ash had Pikachu begin learning Iron Tail in ''[[AG013|All Things Bright and Beautifly!]]''. After training hard, Pikachu finally perfected it in ''[[AG016|The Winner by a Nosepass]]'', where he used it to defeat Roxanne's {{p|Nosepass}} and earn Ash his first Hoenn Badge. In addition to giving Pikachu an advantage over Rock types, Iron Tail has allowed Pikachu to defeat many other powerful opponents. In ''[[AG150|May's Egg-Cellent Adventure]]'', during a battle with Team Rocket, Ash ordered Pikachu to do a Quick Attack. Much to the surprise of Ash and his friends, the Quick Attack morphed into an imperfect {{m|Volt Tackle}} which sent Team Rocket blasting off. Upon mastering the move in ''[[AG155|The Green Guardian]]'', it became one of Pikachu's most distinctive techniques, to the point of garnering [[Paul]]'s interest, up until ''[[BW020|Dancing With the Ducklett Trio!]]'', where Pikachu replaced it with Electro Ball. In ''[[SM076|A Battle Hand-Off!]]'', Pikachu learned {{m|Electroweb}} in place of Electro Ball, allowing him to not only trap opponents, but also use the move as a springboard to increase his mobility or as a shield to protect himself from damage. In addition to his repertoire of moves, Pikachu has used his Ability, {{a|Static}}, a few times in the series, has an affinity for [[Z-Move]]s, and is capable of [[Gigantamax]]ing.<br />
<br />
Although he is always ready for a battle and presumes that his Trainer will choose him, Pikachu can get annoyed and disappointed if Ash chooses a different Pokémon, like in ''[[SM130|Battling Besties]]'' or ''[[JN065|Thrash of the Titans]]'', but he always agrees with Ash's decision in the end. Pikachu's dislike for going into his {{i|Poké Ball}} and Ash's respect for it extend even into situations where doing so would have been a beneficial choice, such as in ''[[JN090|Showdown at the Gates of Warp!]]'', where Ash simply put his partner in his pocket instead of recalling him to protect him from the effect of a time reversal that had caused him to [[Devolution|devolve]].<br />
<br />
====Pikachu's imitations====<br />
Pikachu has demonstrated a great talent for mimicking Pokémon, altering the look of his physical features to match another Pokémon's appearance. He will occasionally use this talent to specify what Pokémon or person he is talking about. These imitation skills were notably put to use during the [[Pokémon Dress-Up Contest]], where Pikachu was able to thrill the audience without the need for a costume or make-up.<br />

<br />
====Pikachu's language====<br />
Some of [[Pokémon language|Pikachu's speech]] is consistent enough that it seems that some phrases mean something. In ''[[DP115|Stealing The Conversation!]]'', {{TRT}} refers to this language as "Pika-speak," but this most likely isn't official. This includes:<br />
* Pikapi: ''[[Ash Ketchum|Satoshi]]'' (Ash)<br />
* Pi-Kachu: ''[[Dawn's Piplup|Pochama]]'' (Piplup)<br />
* Pikachu-Pi: ''{{an|Misty|Kasumi}}'' (Misty)<br />
* Pika-Chu: ''{{an|Brock|Takeshi}}'' (Brock), ''[[Iris's Axew|Kibago]]'' (Axew)<br />
* Pikaka: ''{{an|Dawn|Hikari}}'' (Dawn)<br />
* PiPiPi: ''{{TP|Misty|Togepy|Togepi}}'' (Togepi)<br />
* PikakaPika: ''[[Ash's Bulbasaur|Fushigidane]]'' (Bulbasaur)<br />
* PikaPika: ''[[Ash's Squirtle|Zenigame]]'' (Squirtle), ''[[Ash's Staraptor|Mukuhawk]]'' (Staraptor), ''[[Ash's Infernape|Goukazaru]]'' (Infernape) '' [[Ash's Palpitoad|Gamagaru]]'' (Palpitoad) or ''[[BW129|Marilli]]'' (Azumarill)<br />
* PiPi-kachu: ''[[Team Rocket trio|Rocket-dan]]'' (Team Rocket)<br />
* Pi-Pikachu: ''[[Gotta catch 'em all!|Get da ze!]]'' (He says this after Ash wins a Badge, catches a new Pokémon or anything similar.)<br />
** Pikachu may not be the only one to use this phrase, as other Pokémon do this as well. For example, when Iris caught Emolga, Axew said Ax-Axew (Ki-Kibago in the Japanese version). This also happened when Iris caught {{TP|Iris|Gible}} in [[BWS02]].<br />
* Pika-Pikachu: When referring to or introducing himself.<br />
* Chaa: Anything he says happily or excitedly, or when yawning.<br />
* Pika!: "Matte!", or saying "Wait!"<br />
* Pi-kaPika: "Sayōnara," or saying "Good-bye."<br />
* Piiika-Chuuuuuu!: When using {{m|Thunderbolt}}.<br />
* Pika-Pika-Pika-Pika-Pika-Pika, Chuuu Pii!: When using {{m|Electro Ball}}.<br />
* Pikachu-Pi-Pi-Pi-Pika!: When using {{m|Quick Attack}}.<br />
* Pika-Pika-Pika-ChuPi-Ka!: When using {{m|Electroweb}}.<br />
* Chuuu-Pi-Ka!: When using {{m|Iron Tail}}.<br />

==In the games==<br />
===Core series===<br />
{{main|Pikachu (Yellow)}}<br />
In {{game|Yellow}}, the {{player}} receives a Pikachu based on Ash's Pikachu from [[Professor Oak]] after his rival, Oak's grandson, takes the Pokémon that Oak had intended to give to Red. Additionally, this Pikachu [[walking Pokémon|follows the player around]] rather than being kept in a Poké Ball. In {{LGPE|Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu!}}, a remake of Yellow, the [[Partner Pokémon (Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!)|partner Pikachu]] plays a similar role.<br />
<br />
[[Red's Pikachu]] in other games may also be based on Ash's Pikachu. In [[Generation II]] and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Pikachu is the highest-leveled member of Red's team when he is encountered at [[Mt. Silver]], and the highest leveled Pokémon owned by a Trainer in the entire series excluding battle arenas. His moves, notably in HeartGold and SoulSilver, are the four moves most used by Ash's Pikachu at the time of the games' release.<br />
<br />
Additionally, the Pikachu in the Super Smash Bros. series may be based on Ash's Pikachu.<br />
<br />
====Event distributions====<br />

Once participants bring their Japanese-region [[Nintendo 3DS]] to one of the stores' {{jwp|セブンスポット|7Spots}}, and got their 3DS "stamped" through the [[Nintendo Zone]] feature, they can redeem the stamp for a serial code that would give the player one of the two animated series Pokémon.<br />

=====Pikachu in a cap=====<br />
[[File:Cap Pikachu Pikashunium Z Event.png|thumb|240px|Event artwork]]<br />
{{main|Pikachu in a cap}}<br />
These cap-wearing Pikachu are {{pkmn2|event}}-exclusive Pokémon that debuted in [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]] and were distributed in celebration of the 20th [[Pokémon movie]], ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'', and by extension, the 20th anniversary of {{aniseries|PTS}}. Like Ash's Pikachu, these Pikachu are always [[gender|male]] and cannot evolve. They also have access to the exclusive [[Z-Crystal]], [[Pikashunium Z]], and its [[Z-Move]], {{m|10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt}}.<br />
<br />
A [[Ash's Pikachu (M20)|seventh Cap Pikachu]], wearing the hat Ash wears in [[M20|the twentieth movie]], debuted in [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]]. In Japan, it was distributed via [[QR Code]] on a special [[Pokémon Ga-Olé]] disc. In the Americas, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand, it was distributed via a QR Code that was given to those who attended screenings of the 20th movie.<br />
<br />
Pikachu in a cap is not present in {{LGPE}}, despite being based on a {{cat|Generation I Pokémon}}, but has Pokédex entries in {{g|Sword and Shield}}, and can be imported to the games via [[Pokémon HOME]]. An eighth Cap Pikachu, World Cap Pikachu, has since been added in Version 1.2.0 of Sword and Shield. This Pikachu wears Ash's hat from {{aniseries|JN}}, and was officially revealed September 29, 2020, along with a new set of distributions for the [[Generation VIII]] games.<br />

====[[Pokémon GO]]====<br />
In {{g|GO}}, [[Pikachu in a cap|Original Cap Pikachu]], initially referred to as "'''Pikachu in Ash's hat'''", was obtainable in the {{pkmn2|wild}} during the game's first-anniversary celebration from July 6–21, 2017. Any {{p|Pichu}} whose {{pkmn|Egg}}s were obtained during this time would also be wearing this hat upon hatching. The Ash hat Pikachu was later again obtainable using the GO Snapshot feature from April 1–2, 2019, during which the player could spawn up to five of these [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Event Pokémon|Event Pokémon]] per day with the possibility it being [[Shiny Pokémon (GO)|Shiny]]. Original Cap Pikachu will be featured as the weekly Pokémon Spotlight Hour focus on October 12, 2020.<br />
<br />
Unlike in the core series, this special form is obtainable in both [[gender]]s and can be [[Evolution|evolved]], with the cap being retained upon Evolution.<br />

On October 6, 2020, World Cap Pikachu was featured as the weekly Pokémon Spotlight Hour focus. Like the Original Cap Pikachu in this game, these Pikachu could be Shiny, male or female, and could evolve into Raichu. However, because these Pikachu were only found in wild encounters, Pichu wearing Ash's hat from {{aniseries|JN}} were not included.<br />

The Pikachu then tells him of a friend who has a dream. Detective Pikachu says that the two will make it come true, and asks the Pikachu to tell his friend to [[Pokémon Theme|be the very best like no one ever was]] before he scampers off.

==In the TCG==<br />
[[File:PikachuMMovieRandomPack12.jpg|thumb|200px|right|[[Pikachu M (Movie Random Pack 12)|Pikachu]] {{SP|M}}, the first card directly focusing on Pikachu.]]<br />
Ash's Pikachu, as the main Pokémon character of the longest running Pokémon animation, has received multiple dedicated cards in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]]. Usually, they are released alongside [[Pokémon movie]]s. Before any of those, however, was the [[jumbo card|jumbo]] {{TCG|Unnumbered Promotional cards|promo card}} [[Mewtwo Strikes Back (CoroCoro promo)|Mewtwo Strikes Back]], which focuses on [[Mewtwo (M01)|Mewtwo]] but includes Pikachu in the background. It was released to coincide with the movie the card is named after, ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''. The first card centering on Pikachu was another such jumbo promo card, [[Pichu and Pikachu (CoroCoro promo)|Pichu and Pikachu]]. It showed Pikachu teamed up with the [[Pichu Brothers]], and was a tie in to ''[[PK07|Pikachu and Pichu]]'', one of the [[Pikachu short]]s.<br />
<br />
The [[Pokemon Trading Card Game#Diamond & Pearl Series|Diamond & Pearl Series]] introduced the first cards at normal size featuring Pikachu, as well as the first cards where Pikachu is the sole focus. A {{TCG ID|11th Movie Promo|Pikachu|3}} released in the {{TCG|11th Movie Commemoration Set}} is based on Pikachu's role in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''. Two other cards based on Pikachu released during this series are [[Pikachu M (Movie Random Pack 12)|Pikachu]] {{SP|M}} and its {{TCG|Pokémon LV.X|Level Up}} [[Pikachu M LV.X (DPt-P Promo 43)|Pikachu]] {{SP|M}} [[Pikachu M LV.X (DPt-P Promo 43)|LV.X]]. These are [[Pokémon M]], a group of [[Pokémon SP]] based on the Pokémon seen in Pokémon movies which were released in the {{TCG|Movie Commemoration Random Pack}} to promote ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''. While Pikachu {{SP|M}} is present in the set, Pikachu {{SP|M}} LV.X was only available as a {{TCG|DPt-P Promotional cards|DPt-P Promotional card}}.<br />
<br />
In the [[Pokemon Trading Card Game#XY Series|XY Series]], a {{TCG ID|XY-P Promo|Hoopa|155}} promotional card released for ''[[M17|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]'' also had Pikachu in the background.<br />
<br />
The [[Pokemon Trading Card Game#Sun & Moon Series|Sun & Moon Series]] included the release of the {{TCG|Ash vs Team Rocket Deck Kit}}, which has a complete half deck themed around [[Ash Ketchum]]. Pikachu naturally has a card in it: [[Ash's Pikachu-GX (Ash vs Team Rocket Deck 5)|Ash's Pikachu]]{{GX}}. This card is referred to by name by the included {{TCG|Supporter card}} {{TCG ID|Ash vs Team Rocket Deck|Ash's Friendship|25}}. allowing the player to draw four cards with instead of two if they have Ash's Pikachu{{GX}} in play. Pikachu is in the artwork of two other cards in the kit: {{TCG ID|Ash vs Team Rocket Deck|Togedemaru|6}} and {{TCG ID|Ash vs Team Rocket Deck|Tauros|14}}. There was also a set of {{TCG|SM Black Star Promos}} representing the various [[Pikachu in a cap|Ash's Pikachu forms]], each named "Ash's Pikachu". These cards, as with the entire promotion surrounding the forms, were a tie in to the movie ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]''. Each one wears one of [[Ash's hat]]s from across {{aniseries|PTS}}. As cards with "Ash's" as a prefix, both these and Ash's Pikachu{{GX}} are mechanically [[Owner's Pokémon]], specifically [[Ash's Pokémon]]. Lastly, {{TCG ID|SM Promo|Pikachu|227}}, was printed as SM Black Star Promo, with its basis being the movie ''[[M22|Mewtwo Strikes Back—Evolution]]''.<br />

==Trivia==<br />
[[File:Surfing Pikachu BW087.png|thumb|250px|Pikachu [[Surfing Pikachu|surfing]]]]<br />
* Pikachu was originally supposed to gain a slight linguistic competence and would have spoken some human speeches.<ref>Nintendo, [https://web.archive.org/web/19970605093708/http://www.nintendo.co.jp/n10/pmanime/chara/index.html CHARACTER & CAST]</ref><br />
* The [[Professor Oak's Big Pokémon Encyclopedia]] featured at the end of [[DP013]] is about Ash's Pikachu. He writes this Pokémon senryū about him: 「パートナー サトシとピカチュウ いいかんじ」 "''Partners [[Ash Ketchum|{{tt|Satoshi|Ash}}]] and Pikachu: always feeling good.''"<br />
* Every Trainer other than Ash to have commanded Pikachu in battle has been female.<br />
* Pikachu is Ash's only {{type|Electric}} Pokémon and was the only Electric type owned by a main character in {{aniseries|PTS}} prior to {{an|Dawn}} {{pkmn2|caught|catch}}ing {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}} in ''[[DP019|Twice Smitten, Once Shy!]]'', 484 episodes later.<br />
* Pikachu was the only one of Ash's non-temporary Pokémon to use an Electric-type [[move]] under his ownership until {{AP|Naganadel}} in ''[[SM143|Fiery Surprises!]]'', 1,082 episodes later.<br />
* Pikachu is the first of Ash's Pokémon to habitually disobey him. Other Pokémon would later do so as well, notably {{AP|Primeape}} and {{AP|Charizard}}.<br />
* As revealed in ''[[JN001|Enter Pikachu!]]'', Pikachu is, chronologically, Ash's first:<br />
** Pokémon caught in its evolved form, although {{p|Pichu|its pre-evolved form}} did not yet exist at the time of his debut.<br />
** Pokémon to have evolved via [[friendship]]. However, {{AP|Leavanny}} is the first to do so under his ownership.<br />
* Pikachu is the only one of Ash's Pokémon capable of evolving through use of an [[Evolution stone]], not including {{AP|Snorunt}}, as it did not have {{p|Froslass|a stone-induced Evolution}} at the time of its debut.<br />
* Pikachu is the only one of Ash's Pokémon to be have been used in every {{pkmn|Gym}} battle in a region, namely, [[Johto]].<br />
** Pikachu is also Ash's only Pokémon to win a Gym battle single-handedly, excluding one-on-one matches, as shown in ''[[AG040|Watt's with Wattson?]]''.<br />
* As Pikachu hates being in his {{i|Poké Ball}}, it is rarely ever seen, with a total of only six confirmed appearances throughout the whole of ''Pokémon the Series'' outside of flashbacks: ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]'', ''[[Snow Way Out!]]'', ''[[AG024|A Corphish Out of Water!]]'', ''[[XY020|Breaking Titles at the Chateau!]]'', and ''[[XY079|A Frenzied Factory Fiasco!]]''.<br />
* In ''[[DP142|Where No Togepi Has Gone Before!]]'', it was officially confirmed that Pikachu is [[gender|male]], as a female {{p|Togepi}}'s {{m|Attract}} affected him. His physical appearance could not be used as proof before then, since [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|gender differences]] were not implemented until after he had debuted in the series.<br />
[[File:Pikachu as female Pikachu.png|thumb|250px|Pikachu disguised as a female]]<br />
** Pikachu's gender had already been assumed male in the dub, where male pronouns such as "he" were used to refer to Pikachu. To a lesser extent, his gender was also previously implied in the Japanese versions, specifically in ''[[EP017|Island of the Giant Pokémon]]'' (in which Pikachu used masculine pronouns), ''[[EP052|Princess vs. Princess]]'' (he was present when the narrator said that males had to carry packages), ''[[EP053|The Purr-fect Hero]]'' (he was seen with Ash and {{an|Brock}} while they claimed that [[Kids Day]] was for boys), and in ''[[EP063|The Battle of the Badge]]'' (as Brock referred to Ash and Pikachu as "those guys").<br />
** The species' gender difference was first openly indicated in ''[[BW098|Beauties Battling for Pride and Prestige!]]'', as Pikachu was disguised as a female by sticking a heart-shaped piece of paper on his tail.<br />
* Pikachu was shown at various points in the series, such as ''[[EP102|The Mystery Menace]]'' and ''[[BW087|Expedition to Onix Island!]]'', to be capable of surfing, a potential reference to the [[Surfing Pikachu]] initially featured in {{game|Yellow}}, which itself was inspired by ''Pokémon the Series''.<br />
* Pikachu is the first Pokémon in the animated series to have defeated its evolved form, as he defeated [[Lt. Surge]]'s {{TP|Lt. Surge|Raichu}} in ''[[EP014|Electric Shock Showdown]]''.<br />
* Pikachu is the second Pokémon in the animated series to have defeated a [[Legendary Pokémon]], as he defeated {{an|Brandon}}'s {{DL|Brandon's legendary giants|Regice}} in ''[[AG190|Pace - The Final Frontier!]]''.<br />
** Pikachu has done so more than any other Pokémon in the animated series , having defeated a total of four Legendary Pokémon: the aforementioned Regice, {{si|Tobias}}'s {{p|Latios}} in ''[[DP189|The Semi-Final Frontier!]]'' (though the battle ended in a draw, as Pikachu knocked himself out in the process), [[Gladion's Silvally]] in ''[[SM138|Final Rivals!]]'', and {{DL|Guardian deities (anime)|Tapu Koko}} in ''[[SM144|From Z to Shining Z!]]''.<br />
* Pikachu is the first Pokémon in the animated series to have defeated a [[Mega Evolution|Mega-Evolved]] Pokémon without Mega Evolving, as he defeated {{an|Korrina}}'s Mega {{TP|Korrina|Lucario}} in ''[[XY044|Showdown at the Shalour Gym!]]''.<br />
** Pikachu has done so more than any other Pokémon in the animated series, having defeated a total of four Mega-Evolved Pokémon: the aforementioned Mega Lucario, [[Lysandre]]'s Mega {{p|Gyarados}} in ''[[XY135|Rocking Kalos Defenses!]]'', {{an|Misty}}'s Mega {{TP|Misty|Gyarados}} in ''[[SM043|When Regions Collide!]]'', and {{an|Steven Stone|Steven}}'s Mega {{TP|Steven|Metagross}} in ''[[JN118|Battling as Hard as Stone!]]''.<br />
** Pikachu is also the only non-fully evolved Pokémon in ''Pokémon the Series'' to have defeated a Mega-Evolved Pokémon.<br />
* If counting former {{pkmn|Champion}}s, then Pikachu has defeated the most Champion-owned Pokémon onscreen in the animated series, at a total of seven Pokémon: [[Wallace]]'s {{p|Milotic}}, Steven's {{p|Cradily}} and Mega Metagross, {{an|Cynthia}}'s {{p|Gastrodon}} and {{p|Spiritomb}} (though the battle ended in a draw, as Pikachu was knocked out due to {{m|Destiny Bond}}), and {{an|Leon}}'s [[Gigantamax]] {{p|Cinderace}} and {{TP|Leon|Charizard}}.<br />
** Pikachu is also the only non-fully evolved Pokémon in ''Pokémon the Series'' to have defeated a Champion-owned Pokémon.<br />
* In the animated series, Pikachu is the first Pokémon belonging to a main character to have activated their [[Ability]] or Gigantamaxed.<br />
* Pikachu is the only Pokémon in the animated series to have access to both Z-Moves and Gigantamax.<br />
** Moreover, Pikachu is the only Pokémon to have used different power-ups, the two mentioned above, in a [[JN131|single]] [[JN132|battle]].<br />
* As of ''[[JN013|The Climb to Be the Very Best!]]'', Pikachu has used more moves than any other Pokémon belonging to a main character in the animated series, at a total of 19 moves.<br />
** Pikachu also held the overall record of most moves used until ''[[JN132|Partners in Time!]]'', when [[Leon's Charizard]] surpassed him by one move.<br />
** Pikachu has also [[List of moves by animated series debut|debuted]] more moves than any other Pokémon in the animated series, at eleven, and the most [[Z-Move]]s, at four.<br />
* Pikachu is the only one of Ash's Pokémon to have been confirmed to have forgotten a move. The confirmation comes from ''[[SM091|A Plethora of Pikachu!]]'', in which {{Rotom}} states that Pikachu cannot use {{m|Catastropika}} since he doesn't know {{m|Volt Tackle}}, a move he was last seen using in ''[[BW014|A Night in the Nacrene City Museum!]]'' prior to him learning {{m|Electro Ball}} in ''[[BW020|Dancing With the Ducklett Trio!]]''.<br />
* Pikachu is the only non-fully evolved Pokémon used by a member of the final [[World Coronation Series|Masters Eight]] lineup in the [[Masters Eight Tournament]].<br />
** According to a caption in [[JN121]], Pikachu is also the first Pokémon to be brought to the opening ceremony of said tournament.<br />
* If excluding [[Drone Rotom]], Pikachu is the first Pokémon to have acted as a [[Battle judge|referee]] in the animated series, taking up the mantle for Ash and Misty's battle in ''[[JN138|A Fated Face-Off!]]''.<br />
* In {{wp|Latin America}}, {{wp|Cartoon Network}} had a "{{tt|Biografía|''Biografia'' in Brazil}} Toon" (''Toon Biography'') segment, which consisted of non-[[canon]] biographies of cartoon characters. This segment once did a two-part feature on Ash's Pikachu, stating that he is the result of an experiment conducted by {{an|Professor Oak}} and that he allegedly destroyed the lab where he was created in a momentary loss of control.<br />
* Pikachu appears as a figure in the [[MC Sixth Generation|sixth generation]] of [[Monster Collection]].<br />
* Event-distributed Pikachu billed as "Ash's Pikachu" consistently have a Naughty [[Nature]], with the sole exception of the Pokémon Center Best Wishes event, which distributed one with a Brave Nature. Both Natures line up with Pikachu's personality in ''Pokémon the Series'', and both increase the Attack stat.<br />
** All of the distributed [[Pikachu in a cap]], however, have a Hardy Nature, possibly to keep them as neutral, stat-wise, as possible.<br />
* In the [[clip show]] [[JN128]], the [[announcer]] of the [[World Coronation Series]] identified Pikachu as (Japanese: マサラの黄色い電光 ''The yellow lightning of [[Pallet Town|Masara]]'') when discussing Ash's team.<br />
* ''[[JN032|Time After Time!]]'' and ''[[JN133|The Mew from Here!]]'' are the only main series ''Pokémon the Series'' episodes to not feature Pikachu in any capacity.<br />

'''Ash Ketchum''' (Japanese: '''サトシ''' ''Satoshi'') is the main protagonist of {{aniseries|PTS}}, and the first overall protagonist of the greater [[Pokémon animated series]]. He is also the main character of various {{pkmn|manga}} based on the animated series, including [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]] and [[Ash & Pikachu]], and one of the protagonists of {{OBP|Pocket Monsters Diamond & Pearl|Sakai Takayuki}} and {{ma|Pokémon Journeys}}.

<br />
He is a [[Pokémon Trainer]] from [[Pallet Town]] whose goal is to become a [[Pokémon Master]]. His [[List of characters' first Pokémon|first Pokémon]] was a {{AP|Pikachu}} that he received from {{an|Professor Oak}} after arriving late at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|his laboratory]]. On his {{pkmn|journey}}s around the [[Pokémon world]], he's been accompanied by {{ashfr|a multitude of close friends}}. In {{aniseries|SM}}, he becomes the first {{pkmn|Champion}} of the [[Alola]] [[region]]'s [[Alola League|Pokémon League]]. In {{aniseries|JN}}, he becomes the new Monarch and World Champion of the [[World Coronation Series|Pokémon World Coronation Series]].<br />
<br />
He shares his Japanese name with the creator of the [[Pokémon]] franchise, [[Satoshi Tajiri]]. His English surname is a pun on the English motto, "[[Gotta catch 'em all!]]"<br />

===History===<br />
====Pre-series====<br />
[[File:Younger Ash XY.png|thumb|left|250px|Young Ash]]<br />
Ash grew up in [[Pallet Town]] in the [[Kanto]] region with his mother, {{Delia}}, as his father spent most of his time traveling. Eventually, Ash would meet {{an|Professor Oak}} and his grandson [[Gary Oak]].<br />
<br />
In ''[[XY121|Seeing the Forest for the Trees!]]'', Ash remembered getting lost in a forest while looking for {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. He brought some [[wild Pokémon]] out of the rain and found them some shelter in a tree trunk. Ash's happiness about that moment made him think about how much he wanted to become a [[Pokémon Trainer]].<br />
[[File:Younger Gary Oak.png|thumb|220px|Young Ash and Gary watching a movie]]<br />
[[JN001|At the age of six]], Ash learned that Professor Oak would be holding a Pokémon Summer Camp, and eagerly asked his mother {{Delia}} if he could attend. Seeing her son's enthusiasm, she signed him up but also told him that she had things to do outside of the home during the day the camp would take place, so he would have to get himself there in time on his own. Unfortunately for Ash, he ended up breaking his alarm clock in his sleep and overslept, missing the camp.<br />
<br />
[[XY007|Later]], Ash managed to attend another one of Professor Oak's Pokémon Summer Camps. One day, another camper named {{an|Serena}} got lost in the forest and wounded her leg after getting startled by a {{p|Poliwag}}. Ash, who was looking for the Poliwag, came to her rescue and wrapped a handkerchief around the wounded knee to brace it. He then helped her up and guided her out of the forest.<br />
<br />
As seen in ''[[AG086|Lights, Camerupt, Action!]]'', Ash and Gary used to be friends at one point in time and even went to watch movies together. In ''[[EP269|The Ties That Bind]]'', Ash recalled a day when he was about to start his [[Pokémon journey]]. He and Gary Oak both fished out an old, rusty {{i|Poké Ball}}, which snagged on both their lines. After arguing about who would keep it, they broke it in two, each keeping one half as a reminder of that day.<br />
<br />
===={{aniseries|OS}}====<br />
[[File:Ash runs from Spearow.png|thumb|220px|left|Ash trying to keep Pikachu safe]]<br />
In ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', Ash began his journey at the age of 10 as a warm-hearted and well-intentioned but stubborn, rash, and amateur [[Pokémon Trainer]]. He was forced to accept a [[Obedience|stubborn]] {{AP|Pikachu}} from Professor Oak as his [[List of characters' first Pokémon|first Pokémon]] because he woke up late on the day he was set to get his first Pokémon. He was determined to achieve his goal and when Pikachu saw that he was willing to compromise his safety to keep it safe, the two of them formed an [[Friendship|extremely strong bond]] that has been noticed and remarked upon by many characters in the series. This unbreakable friendship would set his course for the future.<br />
<br />
In ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'', {{an|Misty}} told off Ash after she found her bike Ash had "borrowed" to save Pikachu with was wrecked. At the end of the episode, {{TRT}} made it their primary objective to steal Pikachu after witnessing Pikachu's power. Misty continued following Ash as he headed for [[Pewter City]], telling him in ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]'' that she would continue following him until she was paid back for the bike.<br />
<br />
Ash {{pkmn2|caught}} his first Pokémon, a {{AP|Caterpie}}, in ''[[EP003|Ash Catches a Pokémon]]'', followed by a {{AP|Pidgeotto}} the next day.<br />
<br />
In ''Showdown in Pewter City'', Ash decided to compete in the [[Indigo League|Pokémon League]] regional championships by earning [[Badge]]s from [[Gym Leader]]s across the [[Kanto]] region. Ash fought {{an|Brock}}, the {{gy|Pewter}} Gym Leader, in a [[Pokémon battle]] and lost easily. During his [[rematch]], Ash nearly defeated Brock but refused to give the final blow due to the intervention of Brock's [[Brock's siblings|younger siblings]]. Touched by Ash's kindness to Pokémon and with the return of his estranged father, {{ka|Flint}}, Brock decided to go with Ash and pursue his dream of being the world's best {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}} and gave Ash the {{Badge|Boulder}}.<br />
<br />
In ''[[EP007|The Water Flowers of Cerulean City]]'', Ash reached the [[Cerulean Gym]] and was shocked to learn that Misty was one of its Gym Leaders. Though the match was interrupted when Team Rocket tried to steal the Pokémon from the Gym, [[Sensational Sisters|Misty's sisters]] awarded Ash a {{Badge|Cascade}} when Pikachu saved the [[Gym]] with a {{m|Thunderbolt}}. He continued his journey with Misty, who had dreams of becoming the world's greatest {{t|Water}} Pokémon Master.<br />
[[File:Ash Kanto first partners.png|thumb|250px|Ash and his Kanto first partner Pokémon]]<br />
Ash would go on to obtain the remaining Kanto first partner Pokémon. In ''[[EP010|Bulbasaur and the Hidden Village]]'', Ash and friends found a [[Hidden Village]] protected by a {{AP|Bulbasaur}}. Although hostile at first, Bulbasaur warmed up to Ash after he saved an {{p|Oddish}} from Team Rocket. Bulbasaur agreed to join Ash if he could defeat it in battle, which he did with Pikachu, adding Bulbasaur to his team. In ''[[EP011|Charmander – The Stray Pokémon]]'', Ash and friends discovered a {{AP|Charmander}} that had been left in the rain by his former Trainer, [[Damian]]. Brock carried Charmander to the [[Pokémon Center]], while Ash held his coat over the Charmander's tail flame to keep it lit. After Charmander saved Pikachu from being taken by Team Rocket, Ash caught him. In ''[[EP012|Here Comes the Squirtle Squad]]'', Ash and friends met the [[Squirtle Squad]], a rogue group of Squirtle who were deserted by their Trainers. They were tricked by Team Rocket into capturing Pikachu, after which they betrayed and bombed them. Ash went back to rescue the {{AP|Squirtle}} leader, which touched it enough to join his team. The remaining members left with [[Officer Jenny]] to become firefighters.<br />
<br />
Every time he thought he was doing well, Ash would somehow cross paths with his childhood [[rival]], Gary. Gary and Professor Oak reminded Ash that he was always a step behind Gary. In ''[[EP013|Mystery at the Lighthouse]]'', Professor Oak told Ash that Gary had caught 45 Pokémon at a point when Ash only had seven.<br />
<br />
In ''[[EP017|Island of the Giant Pokémon]]'', Ash and his friends were swept away onto [[Pokémon Land]], located on the [[Island of the Giant Pokémon]], after a group of {{p|Gyarados}} triggered a cyclone using {{m|Dragon Rage}}. Four of Ash's Pokémon, including Pikachu, had gone missing during the chaos, but they found their way back to him the following day. Ash and the others took a ferry back to the mainland from ''[[EP019|Tentacool & Tentacruel]]'' to ''[[EP020|The Ghost of Maiden's Peak]]''.<br />
[[File:Ash and friends OS 2.png|thumb|220px|left|Ash with Misty and Tracey]]<br />
Many of Ash's first Gym Badges were given to him merely out of gratitude for his assistance, rather than claiming an actual victory in battle over the Gym Leaders. Of the first five Gym Badges that had been given to Ash in Kanto, only [[Lt. Surge]]'s {{Badge|Thunder}} in ''[[EP014|Electric Shock Showdown]]'' was earned from a victory in battle.<br />
<br />
Ash's troubles were not made any easier when his Charmander, after evolving into a Charmeleon, and then a Charizard, grew too powerful and refused to listen to him until [[EP105|Ash could prove himself]].<br />
<br />
Over time, Ash's dedication to his goal paid off. After earning his first eight Badges, Ash went on to compete in the [[Indigo Plateau Conference]], advancing to the fifth round - one further than Gary - and ending up in the Top 16, his defeat coming in the form of his Charizard refusing to battle for him.<br />
<br />
[[File:Ash Orange League Hall of Fame.png|thumb|220px|Ash in the Orange League [[Hall of Fame]]]]<br />
Following Ash's defeat in the Indigo League, Professor Oak asked him to travel to [[Valencia Island]] in the [[Orange Islands]] to retrieve the [[GS Ball]] from a [[Pokémon Professor]] named {{prof|Ivy}}. While in the Orange Islands, Ash learned of the Orange Crew, an elite group of Trainers not unlike Gym Leaders, that provided challenges for Trainers to overcome in the [[Orange League]]. After Brock decided to stay with Professor Ivy and help her with her work, Ash and Misty were joined by an enthusiastic [[Pokémon Watcher]] named [[Tracey Sketchit]]. Ash, Misty, and Tracey traversed the Orange Islands on the back of a lost {{AP|Lapras}}. Ash caught the Lapras during this time. He eventually defeated the four members of the Orange Crew and finally won the Orange League by triumphing over the [[Orange Crew Supreme Gym Leader]], {{OBP|Drake|Orange League}}, becoming an Honorable Trainer and earning himself a spot in the [[Palace of Victory|Orange League Hall of Fame]]. Before leaving the Orange Islands, Ash managed to find his Lapras's pod and {{pkmn2|released}} it back into the wild.<br />
<br />
Upon returning to Pallet Town, Ash discovered that Brock had returned due to some unknown incident that left the aspiring Pokémon Breeder in dread of even hearing Professor Ivy's name. Meanwhile, Tracey stayed at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] as Professor Oak's assistant, and Brock rejoined Ash and Misty. After his victory in the Orange League, Ash encountered Gary again, and after being defeated in a one-on-one battle, he learned that his rival had been training hard to participate in the [[Silver Conference]] in [[Johto]].<br />
<br />
===={{aniseries|GS}}====<br />
Excited at the prospect of meeting new Pokémon and facing Gary again, Ash and {{ashfr|friends}} left for the Johto [[region]] to collect eight Badges from the Gym Leaders in the Johto region and compete in the [[Johto League]]. Much like his travels through Kanto, Ash, Misty, and Brock impacted the many people and Pokémon they met along the way (one of them being [[Kurt]], to whom Ash delivered the GS Ball).<br />
<br />
In ''[[EP178|The Grass Route]]'', Ash competed in the [[Grass Tournament]] with Bulbasaur. He lost in the final round to [[Ephraim]]'s {{p|Skiploom}}.<br />
<br />
Ash, along with Misty, competed in the [[Whirl Cup]] in the [[Whirl Islands]], with Ash placing in the Top 16. He was defeated by Misty in a 2-on-2; Misty ended up losing in the next round. Ash, along with [[Ritchie]], then helped save {{OBP|Silver|Lugia}}, a child {{p|Lugia}}, and its parent, from the evil machinations of Team Rocket.<br />
<br />
Ash encountered Gary occasionally in Johto, and, while they were still rivals, Gary seemed to view Ash with slightly more respect than before. Ash's growth of character was evident throughout this story arc as he continued to think more and more about his Pokémon and less and less about himself. After earning eight Johto Gym Badges, Ash entered the Silver Conference with Gary. Finally, the two rivals battled in the tournament in a [[Full Battle]]. Although it was a close battle, Ash emerged victorious against his rival for the first time in his career as a Pokémon Trainer, marking one of the biggest turning points in said career. After the battle, Gary and Ash departed on good terms with each other, finally overcoming their boyhood animosity and recognizing each other as equals. Ash's journey through Kanto and Johto came to an end when he was forced to split up with Brock and Misty when the two of them received messages to return home.<br />
<br />

[[File:Ash and friends AG.png|thumb|220px|left|Ash with Brock, May, and Max]]<br />
After hearing about a distant region called [[Hoenn]] from {{jo|Harrison}}, the opponent he lost to in the Silver Conference, Ash decided to journey there and take only Pikachu with him this time. In Hoenn, Ash met a girl named {{an|May}} and her brother, [[Max]], who he later learned were [[Petalburg Gym]] {{FB|Gym|Leader}} [[Norman]]'s children, and both of whom decided to join Ash on his travels. Shortly after the three companions left [[Petalburg City]], Brock rejoined the group when he saved them from a flock of angry {{p|Taillow}} and their {{AP|leader|Taillow}}. From that point onward, Ash journeyed through Hoenn with one old friend and two new friends, collecting Gym Badges in much the same fashion as before. Once May set her sights on becoming a [[Top Coordinator]], Ash supported her whenever he could while maintaining his focus on winning Badges. During these journeys, Ash and his friends ended up being entwined in the plots of the region's two rivaling [[villainous team]]s, [[Team Aqua]] and [[Team Magma]], with Pikachu getting possessed by {{DL|Kyogre and Groudon (Ruby and Sapphire series)|Groudon}} in the summit of their conflict. Thanks to {{TRT}}'s unintentional help, they helped save the entire Hoenn region.<br />
<br />
While Ash had no major recurring rival in Hoenn, he did encounter certain Trainers multiple times and formed friendly rivalries with them. One such friend was [[Morrison]], who was very similar to and just as competitive as Ash and was first introduced close to the end of the group's travels in Hoenn. Just like the Indigo Plateau and Silver Conferences, Ash did not win the [[Ever Grande Conference]], but he came very close before losing to {{ho|Tyson}}, who went on to win the tournament. After parting ways with May, Max, and Brock, Ash returned to Pallet Town. As he passed through [[Viridian City]] on his way back home, he met [[Scott]] and [[Agatha]] and learned about the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} in Kanto. He decided to take on the Battle Frontier and was surprised but happy to learn that Brock, May, and Max would join him on this adventure as well. Eventually, Ash conquered the seven [[Frontier Brain]]s and was offered the opportunity to become a Frontier Brain himself, but declined in favor of continuing his Pokémon journey.<br />
<br />
===={{aniseries|DP}}====<br />
[[File:Ash arriving in Sinnoh.png|thumb|220px|Ash arriving in Sinnoh]]<br />
Following Ash's victory over the Battle Frontier, May set her sights on [[Pokémon Contest]]s in the Johto region and traveled there while Max returned home to Petalburg City in Hoenn. After encountering and battling his old rival, Gary (who has now become a Pokémon researcher), and learning of a new region with new Pokémon, Ash decided to leave for the [[Sinnoh]] region to earn the Gym Badges available there. Like before, he took only Pikachu with him at first but brought his {{AP|Aipom}} along when she snuck onto the ship Ash was leaving on. While Brock did not directly accompany Ash to Sinnoh, he did meet with him while there and traveled with him through Sinnoh as he had for Kanto, Johto, and Hoenn. This time, they were accompanied by another aspiring [[Pokémon Coordinator]] named {{an|Dawn}}. Ash enthusiastically supported Dawn in her endeavors to become a Top Coordinator. Unlike May, he watched all of Dawn's Contests without being distracted by the need to train. Just as he supported Dawn in her Contests, she supported him in his Gym battles. She would even go as far as dressing up as a cheerleader with her Pokémon sometimes and cheer for him.<br />
<br />
While traveling through Sinnoh, Ash formed a heated rivalry with a Trainer named [[Paul]]. Throughout Ash's journey, Paul would constantly put him down and the two often argued over their nearly opposite training styles. While Paul was harsh, distant, and sometimes plain cruel to his Pokémon, Ash insisted that the best way to raise Pokémon was through patience, caring, and friendship. Their rivalry came to a head after they competed in a [[Multi Battle|Tag Battle]] [[Hearthome City Tag Battle Competition|Tournament]] together when Paul released his {{AP|Chimchar}} after it failed to meet his expectations. Ash then decided to take in the Chimp Pokémon and promised to make it strong using his philosophy. Although Ash always considered himself on par with him, Paul would often come out the better in their battles as his Pokémon were very powerful, due to him only keeping Pokémon that were naturally really strong. Ash's Pokémon, though they grew under his command and became strong in their own right, could not yet equal those of Paul's. Later events would soon lead to a particularly crushing defeat at [[Lake Acuity]] for Ash, losing a Full Battle while only knocking out two of Paul's Pokémon in return, this being Ash's heaviest loss in any battle up to that point. Following the defeat, Ash acknowledged that he had to take Paul more seriously and cautiously in the future.<br />
[[File:Ash Wallace Cup.png|thumb|left|220px|Ash in the Wallace Cup]]<br />
[[File:Hearthome Collection Ash.png|thumb|220px|Ash in the Hearthome Collection]]<br />
While in Sinnoh, Ash competed in two official Pokémon Contests, once in [[Jubilife City]] and a second time in the [[Wallace Cup]] upon [[Wallace]]'s recommendation. He also competed against several [[Pokémon Stylist]]s in the [[Hearthome Collection]] fashion show in ''[[DP086|Arriving in Style!]]'', where he ended up in third place, winning the Unique Award for his original performance.<br />
<br />
As Ash and his friends journeyed through Sinnoh, they ended up becoming heavily involved with the legends of Sinnoh, with Ash being personally chosen by {{DL|Lake guardians (anime)|Azelf}} of the [[lake guardians]]. Along with {{an|Cynthia}}, [[Looker]] and Team Rocket, they faced off against Pokémon Hunter [[J]] as well as the evil [[Team Galactic]]. Thanks to their efforts, the Sinnoh region was spared from [[Cyrus]]'s insane scheme.<br />
<br />
Ash eventually obtained all of the Sinnoh Gym Badges he needed to enter Sinnoh's [[Pokémon League Conference]]. During his battles in the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]], he managed to advance to the Top 4. For the second time since meeting Paul (the first being in a [[PokéRinger]] tournament during which Ash's {{p|Staravia}} evolved into a {{AP|Staraptor}} and defeated Paul's {{TP|Paul|Honchkrow}}), Ash managed to defeat his bitter rival, notably using Paul's discarded {{p|Chimchar}}, now an {{p|Infernape}}, to deal the finishing blow. This confirmed Ash's beliefs in how to raise Pokémon, showing that though he took his time and raised his Pokémon with care and friendship they achieved the same results as Paul's methods. This caused Paul to finally acknowledge Ash as a Trainer of some merit, thus ending their arguments. Ash later fought against {{si|Tobias}}, becoming the only known Trainer to defeat his {{p|Darkrai}}. Although Ash ultimately lost the battle at the same magnitude as his loss to Paul at Lake Acuity, he was not overly upset as he was closer to his Pokémon than ever before. After ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]'', Ash, Dawn, and Brock split up and went their separate ways, with Brock confirming that he would not be joining Ash on his later travels as he decided to pursue his new dream of being a Pokémon doctor.<br />
<br />
===={{aniseries|BW}}====<br />
[[File:Ash and friends BW.png|thumb|250px|left|Ash with Iris and Cilan]]<br />
Shortly after returning home from his Sinnoh journey, Ash traveled with Delia and Professor Oak on a trip to the [[Unova]] region. After losing in a battle to [[Trip]] and seeing the power of the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Zekrom}}, Ash became interested in traveling to Unova to meet new Pokémon, as well as new friends. In Unova, he brought along only his Pikachu as he did in Hoenn.<br />
<br />
Soon after he started his journey, Ash met {{an|Iris}}, a wild girl who is (as he later learns) a possible successor of the [[Opelucid Gym]] and wishes to be a {{t|Dragon}} Master, and {{an|Cilan}}, one of the [[Striaton Gym]] Leaders, who aspires to be the world's greatest [[Pokémon Connoisseur]]. After Ash earns their interest by telling Iris of his encounter with Zekrom and battling Cilan for the Trio Badge, the three decide to travel together. During his time in Unova, along with his quest for the Badges, the three friends also competed in the local competitions [[Club Battle]], [[Clubsplosion]], and [[Pokémon World Tournament Junior Cup]]. Despite battling quite well, Ash failed to win any of the tournaments and managed to be the runner-up of two of the three. Despite these mishaps, he was not upset to see his friends win the competitions instead of him.<br />
<br />
As they journeyed, Ash and his friends once again found themselves caught up in Team Rocket's new plot, which was personally being supervised by Giovanni. This time, Team Rocket planned to take over the world using a {{an|Meloetta}} that Ash befriended to unleash the power of the {{an|forces of nature}}. Thanks to Cynthia and [[Ridley]], Ash and his friends managed to thwart Team Rocket's evil plot.<br />
<br />
After managing to obtain eight Unova Gym Badges, Ash was allowed to participate in the [[Vertress Conference]] along with his current and some new rivals. In the preliminary round, Ash battled Trip one-on-one, defeating him for the first time and ending their rivalry. Ash also defeated his friend and rival, [[Stephan]], in the tournament. He then battled one of his newer rivals, {{un|Cameron}}, where he lost in ''[[BW108|A Unova League Evolution!]]'', ending in the Top 8 of the Vertress Conference.<br />
<br />
After the Conference, the three friends decided to check out some ruins that [[Professor Juniper]]'s father, [[Cedric Juniper]] discovered, and on the way, they met with a strange young man named {{an|N}}. They soon became entwined in the plots of [[Ghetsis]], [[Colress]], and [[Team Plasma]] as they sought to take over the world using {{p|Reshiram}}'s power. Ash and his friends, along with Looker, the Team Rocket trio, Professor Cedric, as well as N, [[Anthea and Concordia]], managed to foil Plasma's evil scheme.<br />
<br />
As their adventures started coming to a close, Ash and his friends decided to take the long way back to Kanto by sailing on a series of luxury liners through a chain of islands called the [[Decolore Islands]]. On the way, Ash met [[Alexa]], a Pokémon Journalist, from whom he learned of the [[Kalos]] region. Soon after they reach Kanto, Ash split up with Iris and Cilan, who wished to go in separate directions to follow their dreams.<br />
<br />
===={{aniseries|XY}}====<br />
[[File:Baron Ash.png|thumb|220px|Ash as a {{tc|Baron}} at the [[Battle Chateau]]]]<br />
After his brief visit to Pallet Town and having left his Pokémon in Professor Oak's care beside Pikachu, Ash arrived at the Kalos region with Alexa, first visiting [[Lumiose City]], where he parted ways with the journalist and tried to challenge the [[Lumiose Gym]] at Prism Tower. He was forcibly ejected from the tower when the computerized security system, later revealed to be the [[Clembot]], found out that he didn't have any Kalos Badges. He was rescued by {{an|Clemont}} and {{an|Bonnie}}.<br />
<br />
Ash brought an injured {{AP|Froakie}} to {{an|Professor Sycamore}}, who told Ash about an additional stage of Pokémon [[Evolution]] he was researching called [[Mega Evolution]]. Assisted by Pikachu and Froakie, Ash calmed down an angry {{p|Garchomp}} belonging to Sycamore that was attacking Lumiose City. Ash saw a Mega Evolved Pokémon for the first time when a Mega {{p|Blaziken}} saved him and Pikachu from falling off of Prism Tower. Froakie then allowed itself to be captured by Ash, and Clemont and Bonnie started to travel with Ash.<br />
<br />
Ash won his first Kalos Badge, the {{badge|Bug}}, after defeating the {{ci|Santalune}} [[Santalune Gym|Gym]] Leader, [[Viola]]. The group was joined by Serena, who still remembered Ash rescuing her in her childhood and decided to start her journey to reunite with him, although he initially did not remember the two of them meeting. Ash and Serena learn that Clemont was the Lumiose Gym Leader, who was exiled from his Gym by his invention. They help Clemont face Clembot, and after the issue was resolved, the two boys promised to battle after Ash fulfilled the original conditions set by Clembot (even if it was no longer necessary), to earn four Badges. With that, the group set off on their journey again. During their travels, they occasionally met the ninja boy [[Sanpei]], whose presence always led to progress in Froakie's (and later {{p|Frogadier}}'s and {{p|Greninja}}'s) strength.<br />
<br />
Ash briefly traveled with the {{gy|Shalour}} Gym Leader {{an|Korrina}} to discover more about Mega Evolution and [[Mega Stone]]s.<br />
[[File:Ash and friends XY 2.png|thumb|250px|left|Ash with Serena, Clemont, and Bonnie]]<br />
Ash and his friends later attended Professor Sycamore's [[Pokémon Summer Camp]], where they met the trio of {{an|Shauna}}, {{an|Tierno}}, and {{an|Trevor}}, with whom the group started a friendly rivalry with. In Ash's case, his rivalry would mainly be with Trevor and Tierno as Serena and Shauna pursued [[Pokémon Showcase]]s.<br />
<br />
During their journey, Ash caught a lost and traumatized {{p|Goomy}}, which he raised into a {{p|Sliggoo}}, and later, a powerful {{AP|Goodra}}. After earning his fourth Gym Badge, Ash eventually faced Clemont in their promised Gym Battle, and won with Goodra's help, gaining his fifth Badge. Later, Ash and friends came across Goodra's [[Kalos Route 14|old home]], where they discovered it was taken over by a {{an|Florges}} and her companions. After saving Goodra's swamp from Team Rocket while simultaneously solving the issue concerning Florges, Ash left Goodra in the wetlands so it could act as the protector of its swamp and the Pokémon living in it. Some time afterward, when Ash reached [[Laverre City]] to challenge the [[Laverre Gym|Gym]], he made a new rival in [[Sawyer]], a novice trainer hailing from Hoenn. Along the way, Ash also supported Serena in her quest to become Kalos Queen and gave her some helpful advice when she eventually lost, telling her that losing is simply another step towards victory.<br />
<br />
Later in their journeys, Ash and friends reached [[Anistar City]] and, together with Professor Sycamore, they met the Gym Leader, [[Olympia]]. She revealed his Frogadier's past as a Froakie from before meeting Ash and a glimpse of Frogadier's, his friend's, Sycamore's, Team Rocket's, and his fate, indicating that they would all play a vital role in Kalos's future. Ash challenged her to a [[Double Battle]], which he won using Frogadier and {{AP|Talonflame}}.<br />
<br />
Shortly after, the group came across a mysterious Pokémon, dubbed [[Squishy]] by Bonnie, who was being pursued relentlessly by the villainous team [[Team Flare]], prompting the group to put it under their protective custody. Some time afterward, Ash and his friends got involved in a conflict in Sanpei's [[Ninja Village|hometown]], which led to Frogadier evolving into Greninja, as well as achieving [[Bond Phenomenon]] for the first time. During another confrontation with Team Flare in [[Terminus Cave]], Ash learned Bond Phenomenon came at a cost, as he was able to share Greninja's senses, but also share its pain.<br />
[[File:Ash and Greninja Bond Phenomenon.png|thumb|250px|Ash and Greninja activating the Bond Phenomenon]]<br />
Later on, Ash met up with [[Alain]], who became intrigued by Greninja's Bond Phenomenon and requested to battle Ash. Ash put up a decent fight but eventually lost. After his loss against Alain, Ash and Greninja began training to perfect Greninja's new form. Ash and Greninja later had a rematch with Alain and a battle against Diantha, during the latter Greninja even managed to reach its final Ash-Greninja form. Despite their training, the two were unsuccessful in mastering the transformation as Ash passed out during both battles from exhaustion from using the form.<br />
<br />
After losing a rematch with Sawyer, in which Greninja even failed to transform, Ash began feeling doubtful of his ability to master the transformation. His confidence was shaken further after brutally losing to the [[Snowbelle Gym]] Leader [[Wulfric]] in a battle where all three of his Pokémon were unable to bring down Wulfric's second Pokémon, {{p|Avalugg}}. After seeing how badly Greninja got hurt during their battle and blaming himself for the loss, a depressed Ash left into the [[Kalos Route 20|Winding Woods]] by himself. After an argument with Serena, Ash was able to get back to his old self. He later met up with Greninja, and while trying to save a wild {{p|Spewpa}}, the two were able to perfect Bond Phenomenon. With Greninja's Ash-Greninja form perfected, Ash was able to defeat Wulfric in a rematch, earning him his final Kalos Gym Badge and qualifying him for participation in the [[Lumiose Conference]].<br />
<br />
After returning to Lumiose City, Ash entered the Lumiose Conference. Following several notable victories, Ash had Goodra rejoin his team for his semi-final battle against Sawyer. After a narrow victory, Ash managed to defeat Sawyer and reach the finals of the Conference, marking his first appearance in the finals of a Pokémon League; where he would face Alain. On the night before the final battle, he and his friends learned more about the Ash-Greninja transformation. In the finals of the Lumiose Conference, Ash and Alain started a back-and-forth battle that eventually came down to [[Alain's Charizard|Alain's Mega Charizard X]] against Ash's Greninja in its Ash-Greninja form. After a fierce battle, Greninja was defeated, causing Ash to end up as the Runner-Up of the Lumiose Conference. Ash showed great sincerity and principle following the battle, shaking Alain's hand regardless of the result.<br />
[[File:Ash and Pokémon captured.png|thumb|250px|left|Ash and his Pokémon captured by Team Flare]]<br />
During the closing ceremony of the conference, Team Flare began their final operation, using the power of the blue {{p|Zygarde}} {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Zygarde|Core}} [[Z2]] to cause massive roots to destroy parts of Lumiose City. Ash and his Pokémon were ultimately abducted by Team Flare and were taken captive at the top of Prism Tower, as [[Lysandre]] intended to use Ash and Greninja's Bond Phenomenon for his plans by using Team Flare's Mega Evolution energy ray to control them. However, upon hearing Pikachu's voice, Ash resisted the machine's influence, even getting Greninja to do the same thing. After talking some sense into Alain, Ash and Greninja broke free from their bindings by using the Bond Phenomenon. Ash and Alain soon engaged in a battle against Lysandre and ultimately managed to defeat him. When Ash later heard about the [[Giant Rock]], he met up with the rest to combat it. Thanks to everyone's combined effort, [[Chespie]] was saved from the Giant Rock. Squishy and Z2 ultimately destroyed the creature, before the two Zygarde left.<br />
<br />
Following the crisis, Ash helped Alain and Serena resolve their issues and bid farewell to his rivals. Later, after dropping Goodra off at the wetlands again, the group came across [[Xerosic]], one of Team Flare's Scientists. Ash, his Greninja, his friends and the gang were ultimately able to foil Xerosic's plans and hand him over to Officer Jenny. The group soon reunited with Squishy and Z2, who requested Greninja's help to obliterate the remaining negative energy left by Team Flare's crisis. Knowing this was for the sake of Kalos, Ash bade farewell to Greninja before Greninja left with the two Zygarde. After releasing Greninja, Ash and the gang headed back to Lumiose City to say their final goodbyes. After bidding farewell to Serena, who headed for Hoenn, Ash separated from Clemont and Bonnie as well and returned to Pallet Town.<br />
<br />
===={{aniseries|SM}}====<br />
[[File:Ash and friends SM.png|thumb|250px|Ash and his classmates]]<br />
Ash traveled with Delia to the [[Alola]] region after [[Mimey]] won the trip via lottery. It was shown that Ash gave his Kalos Pokémon to [[Professor Oak]], who gave him and his mother a Pokémon Egg to deliver to his cousin [[Samson Oak|Samson]]. While on [[Melemele Island]], Ash stumbled upon the [[Pokémon School]], where he met {{an|Lana}}, {{an|Lillie}}, {{an|Mallow}}, {{an|Kiawe}}, {{an|Sophocles}}, Samson, and {{an|Professor Kukui}} and learned about [[Z-Ring]]s and [[Z-Move]]s. Later on, he met {{DL|Guardian deities (anime)|Tapu Koko}}, the [[Guardian deities|guardian]] of Melemele Island, who gave Ash a Z-Ring and an [[Electrium Z]]. With these discoveries, Ash decided to remain in Alola to study at the school and learn more about Z-Moves, living with Professor Kukui.<br />
<br />
Later, Tapu Koko challenged Ash and Pikachu to a battle. Ash's Electrium Z broke after Ash and Pikachu used the Z-Move {{m|Gigavolt Havoc}} on Tapu Koko. Ash then decided to take on the [[island challenge]] to obtain new [[Z-Crystal]]s and prove his worth.<br />
[[File:Ash and Z-Ring.png|thumb|250px|left|Ash and his Z-Ring]]<br />
Ash caught several Pokémon on Melemele Island, such as his {{AP|Rowlet}}, {{AP|Rockruff}}, and {{AP|Litten}}. Ash also got a [[Normalium Z]] after his fight with {{pkmn2|Totem}} {{p|Gumshoos}} on Melemele Island. Tapu Koko gave him a new Electrium Z after Ash won his grand trial battle with Melemele [[Island kahuna]] [[Hala]]. Also, Ash struck up a friendly rivalry with Lillie's brother {{an|Gladion}}. He then gained a [[Grassium Z]] and [[Rockium Z]] during his trial and grand trial on [[Akala Island]]. He also briefly reunited with Brock, Misty, and some of his Pokémon during a field trip to Kanto for an extracurricular activity.<br />
<br />
One day, Ash was entrusted to take care of a {{p|Cosmog}} by {{p|Solgaleo}} and {{p|Lunala}}, which he saw in a dream. The Cosmog, nicknamed [[Ash's Solgaleo|Nebby]] by Lillie, took a liking to Ash and frequently caused trouble with its ability to {{m|teleport}} people around. In ''[[SM050|Faba's Revenge!]]'', {{an|Faba}} kidnapped Nebby while Ash's attention was elsewhere. When Ash and Lillie learned about this, they enlisted Gladion and {{an|Lusamine}} in helping them rescue it. When the four found Faba, they also found that he successfully forced Nebby to summon a {{DL|Ultra Beasts (anime)|Nihilego}} from an Ultra Wormhole. After Nihilego kidnapped Lusamine and retreated into the Ultra Wormhole, Ash discovered that the incident caused Nebby to evolve into a {{p|Cosmoem}}.<br />
<br />
Ash, his classmates, and Gladion then watched as the {{an|guardian deities}} helped Nebby evolve into the Legendary Pokémon Solgaleo and upgrade Ash's Z-Ring into a [[Z-Power Ring]]. With a [[Solganium Z]] he received from Nebby, Ash activated Solgaleo's Z-Move, {{m|Searing Sunraze Smash}}, and had Nebby open up an Ultra Wormhole, allowing everyone to traverse through Ultra Space on Nebby's back. There, after Ash's Electrium Z temporarily transformed into a [[Pikashunium Z]], Ash and Pikachu used it to launch a {{m|10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt}}. The attack defeated Nihilego, weakening it long enough for Lillie and Gladion to pull their mother free from its hold. The Pikashunium Z then reverted to an Electrium Z. With their mission finished, Lusamine was taken back through the Ultra Wormhole to the Altar of the Sunne.<br />
<br />
During Kukui and Burnet's wedding reception in the aftermath of the incident, Ash and his friends were invited to join an {{an|Ultra Beasts|Ultra Beast}} response task force, known as the [[Ultra Guardians]], which they all agreed to. On their first mission, Ash and his classmates were assigned to capture a {{DL|Ultra Beasts (anime)|Buzzwole}} that had appeared through an Ultra Wormhole. The Ultra Guardians encountered it at [[Mahalo Trail]], where Ash eventually realized it preferred flexing to battling. As a result, Ash and Kiawe distracted it long enough for the former to throw a [[Beast Ball]] at it, successfully capturing it. Later, Buzzwole was brought to [[Melemele Meadow]], where {{an|Professor Burnet}} temporarily opened a new wormhole, allowing Buzzwole to return home.<br />
[[File:Ash Ultra Guardian outfit.png|thumb|250px|Ash in his Ultra Guardian uniform]]<br />
Later, Ash encountered a {{AP|Poipole}} who seemed strangely attached to Pikachu. After a while, Poipole was confirmed to be an Ultra Beast. Ash was permitted to capture it, though he failed several times as Poipole thought the catching process was a game. After Ash helped it understand what was happening, Poipole allowed itself to be captured and was allowed to stay with the group until they could find its Ultra Wormhole and send it back.<br />
<br />
Ash attempted to participate in the [[Ula'ula Island]] challenge, but he was rejected by [[Nanu]] and lost in an impromptu "pre-trial". Afterward, Ash decided to stay on the island and train under {{DL|Guardian deities (anime)|Tapu Bulu}}. This allowed him to formally participate in his island challenge, which turned out to be a battle against [[Jessie's Mimikyu]], who recently gained a [[Mimikium Z]]. Ash barely won thanks to Pikachu learning {{m|Electroweb}}, as well as being able to once again use 10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt. Finally, Ash participated in the grand trial, where he faced off against Nanu in a 3-on-1 battle in Nanu's favor and won, earning himself a [[Lycanium Z]].<br />
<br />
Ash led the Ultra Guardians' investigation into mysterious dark clouds that appeared over the Alola region, causing all of the adults in Alola to lose their energy and motivation. The cause was revealed to be a {{an|Necrozma}} pursuing a {{an|Lunala}}, which resulted in a massive battle against Necrozma. During this time, Nebby joined the fight; Necrozma possessed Lunala and then Nebby to become {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Necrozma|Dawn Wings and Dusk Mane Necrozma}}, respectively; and the Ultra Guardians pursued Necrozma into [[Poipole's world]]. There, they learned about how Necrozma needed to regain its true form to release Nebby. After Ash and Gladion acquired Z-Crystals for Nebby and Lunala, the Ultra Guardians, with the help of their Pokémon, Lunala, Poipole's friends, and everyone else in Alola, shared their [[Z-Power]] with Necrozma, causing it to release Nebby. Afterward, Ash and Nebby used {{m|Searing Sunraze Smash}}, while Gladion and Lunala used {{m|Menacing Moonraze Maelstrom}} on Necrozma. The combined Z-Moves fully restored Necrozma's light, giving it the strength to become its true form, Ultra Necrozma. Afterward, the Ultra Guardians, Nebby, and Lunala traveled back to Alola through the Ultra Wormhole, while Ash said farewell to Poipole, who chose to stay behind in its world.<br />
<br />
Later, Ash and his classmates arrived on Poni Island for their research projects for school. Ash's project was to have a grand trial battle. In ''[[SM109|A Grand Debut!]]'', Ash battled the newly appointed island kahuna [[Hapu]] in a one-on-one battle and won. Letting Pikachu choose their reward for the completion, Ash received a [[Steelium Z]].<br />
[[File:Ash Champion.png|thumb|250px|left|Ash after winning the Manalo Conference]]<br />
Following this victory, Ash entered the first-ever [[Manalo Conference]], along with his classmates. He eventually made it to the semifinals, where he faced off against the [[Team Skull]] Boss [[Guzma]]. After a tough match, Ash was able to defeat him and advance to the finals, where he was set to face Gladion. On the night before the final battle, Ash's {{p|Meltan}} fused with {{OBP|Meltan|recurring|its fellow Meltan}}, evolving into {{AP|Melmetal}}, which Ash ended up using as his first Pokémon in the finals. The match eventually resulted in a battle between the two Trainers' {{p|Lycanroc}}, with [[Ash's Lycanroc]] eventually emerging victorious, thus earning Ash the title of Alola League {{pkmn|Champion}}.<br />
<br />
After winning the Alola League championship, Ash was given the right to have an {{wp|exhibition game|exhibition match}} against the Masked Royal. However, during a {{DL|Ultra Beasts (anime)|Guzzlord}} invasion of the [[Manalo Stadium]], the Masked Royal's true identity as Professor Kukui was exposed. With his cover blown, Kukui decided to battle Ash as himself and make the exhibition match a Full Battle, which Ash agreed to. During the battle, Ash's Torracat was finally able to defeat its longtime rival, [[Professor Kukui's Incineroar]], and evolve into an {{AP|Incineroar}} itself. Before Kukui could send out his last Pokémon, Tapu Koko appeared and took its place in the battle. When Ash was down to his last Pokémon, Pikachu, Tapu Koko gave Kukui a [[Tapunium Z]], while Ash's Electrium Z once again transformed into a Pikashunium Z, allowing both Pokémon to unleash their signature Z-Moves. In the end, Ash's Pikachu's Z-Move proved superior and defeated Tapu Koko, ending the exhibition match with Ash's victory.<br />
<br />
After the Manalo Conference had ended, Ash was left unsure of what to do next. However, after hearing [[Olivia]] mention how important knowing the "outside world" is, he decided to return home and start traveling around the world. After saying farewell to his classmates, Kukui, and Burnet, he boarded a plane back to Kanto, leaving all of his current [[party]] Pokémon (excluding Pikachu) under the two Professors' care.<br />
<br />
===={{aniseries|JN}}====<br />
[[File:Ash goal JN.png|thumb|250px|Ash's goal of battling Monarch Leon]]<br />
Sometime after his return to Kanto, Ash joined Professor Oak in attending the opening of the new [[Cerise Laboratory]] in [[Vermilion City]]. During the opening ceremony, the head of the lab, [[Professor Cerise]], informed the attendees that a rare Pokémon would be appearing at the local port shortly. Ash eagerly rushed over there and found out the rare Pokémon was a Lugia. During this encounter, he also met a boy named [[Goh]], and the two shared a ride with Lugia throughout Kanto. When they later returned to the Cerise Laboratory, Professor Cerise was amazed by the information they had gathered about Lugia, and he asked them to become his [[Professor's assistant|research assistants]]. They accepted the offer and were provided with their room to stay in. Delia also left Mimey at the lab to take care of Ash while he stayed there.<br />
<br />
Later, Ash and Goh traveled to the [[Galar]] region to watch the finals of the [[World Coronation Series]]. The match ended in the victory of Galar's undefeated Champion {{an|Leon}}, thus making him the Monarch, the official strongest Trainer in the {{pkmn|world}}. Inspired by this, Ash decided he wanted to battle Leon himself. However, before he could challenge him, a [[Gigantamax]] {{OBP|Drednaw|recurring}} went on a rampage and started causing havoc. While Ash and Goh battled it, Pikachu ended up Gigantamaxing as well, therefore giving him enough power to defeat Drednaw. Leon, impressed by Ash's performance, accepted his challenge to a battle. Ash also received a [[Dynamax Band]] from Leon. After Ash lost, he decided to take part in the World Coronation Series as well and climb through its ranks to one day challenge Leon again.<br />
<br />
Upon entering the World Coronation Series, Ash immediately started building up a winning streak, soon even reaching the Great Class after defeating Korrina. Ash's winning streak came to an end, however, when he encountered [[Bea]], a {{type|Fighting}} Gym Leader from Galar, who was also aiming to defeat Leon. In their two-on-two match at the [[Fighting Dojo]], Ash failed to defeat a single one of Bea's Pokémon, with her powerful {{p|Grapploct}} with its many limbs and {{m|Octolock}} proving especially troublesome. This crushing defeat caused Ash to start losing his self-confidence and led to him entering a losing streak, even resulting in him falling back into the Normal Class. This caused him to get depressed, until he was snapped back into his senses by a motivational speech from Goh. Thanks to this, he quickly fought his way back into the Great Class and challenged Bea to a rematch at the [[Cianwood Gym]], managing to tie with her this time.<br />
<br />
One night, Ash's Dynamax Band began to glow. After learning about cases of Pokémon [[Dynamax]]ing in Galar outside of {{cat|Power Spots}}, Ash and Goh headed there to investigate. Soon after arriving in the region, Ash and Goh ended up getting separated while in the [[Slumbering Weald]], where Ash encountered {{OBP|Zacian|recurring}}, whereas Goh encountered {{OBP|Zamazenta|recurring}}. Later, Ash encountered Leon and joined him in taking care of the Dynamax Pokémon rampaging around Galar. During this quest, they ended up encountering [[Rose|Chairman Rose]] and [[Oleana]], and Ash accompanied them to dine and spend a night at [[Rose Tower]]. When he departed the next day to rendezvous with Goh, {{TP|Leon|Eternatus}} emerged from the [[Hammerlocke]] [[Energy Plant]], starting the [[Darkest Day]] and prompting Ash to head there. At the [[Hammerlocke Stadium]], Ash re-encountered Rose and engaged him in a battle, eventually winning thanks to his newly evolved {{AP|Lucario}}. Reuniting with Goh, the two then engaged in a battle against Eternatus, after Leon had failed to stop it. With Zacian and Zamazenta's help, they successfully defeated Eternatus and sealed it away, ending the Darkest Day.<br />
[[File:Ash Chloe Dawn Goh.png|thumb|250px|left|Ash with Dawn, Goh, and Chloe]]<br />
Following his second battle with Bea, Ash entered another winning streak, steadily increasing his ranking. [[JN065|One day]], he received a letter from Iris, challenging him to a World Coronation Series battle. He happily accepted her invitation, but was later surprised to find out that Iris had succeeded [[Alder]] as the new Champion of Unova. After an intense battle, Ash defeated his former traveling companion and rose to the Ultra Class as a result. In his first Ultra Class battle, Ash was pitted against [[Volkner]] and succeeded in defeating him. Following the match, Volkner informed Ash that Cynthia was taking part in the World Coronation Series as well, and had managed to climb her way into the Master Class.<br />
<br />
Knowing that he was going to be facing very strong opponents in the Ultra and Master Classes, Ash sought Korrina's help to Mega Evolve his Lucario. After receiving a [[Key Stone|Mega Glove]] from Korrina, Ash traveled to [[Mega Island]] and managed to obtain himself a [[Lucarionite]], just in time to receive a message informing him that Bea was to be his next Ultra Class opponent. As such, Ash then traveled to [[Stow-on-Side]] to settle his score with Bea once and for all on her home turf. Using his newly acquired Mega Lucario, Ash was able to defeat Bea's Gigantamax {{p|Machamp}}, finally earning him a victory against his rival.<br />
<br />
After defeating Bea, Ash sought [[Allister]]'s help in Gigantamaxing his {{AP|Gengar}}. Thanks to the {{DL|Master Dojo|Max Soup}} made by him, Gengar was able to unlock its Gigantamax potential, which proved useful in Ash's World Coronation Series battle against [[Marnie]].<br />
<br />
His victories kept bringing Ash more and more fame as the rising star of Kanto, causing the news of his next Ultra Class battle, this one against [[Drasna]] of the Kalos [[Elite Four]], to gain widespread media attention. Following a reunion and a training session with Clemont and Bonnie, Ash took on Drasna and defeated her, putting him at the very top of the Ultra Class. As such, his next match was to be an entrance battle against [[Raihan]], the lowest-ranked Trainer in the Master Class. After briefly reuniting with Greninja in Kalos and having his Lucario train its [[Aura]] with it, Ash felt ready for the match. Raihan, Leon's long-time rival, gave Ash a very tough challenge, even forcing him to use Gengar's Gigantamax instead of Lucario's Mega Evolution to bypass his [[weather]] strategy. Eventually, however, Ash managed to win, officially putting him in the Master Class along with the other reigning regional Champions and Alain.<br />
<br />
[[File:Ash accessories.png|thumb|250px|Ash wearing his Z-Power Ring, Dynamax Band, and Mega Glove]]<br />
During a visit to the [[Crown Tundra]], Ash reunited with Lillie and her family just as they succeeded in finding Lillie's missing father, [[Mohn]]. He then proceeded to accompany them back to Alola, where he reunited with his Alolan family and friends. Ash also participated in a special [[Battle Royal]] that was organized to celebrate the homecoming of the Alola Champion. During the Battle Royal, the entire Alola region showed their support for Ash and encouraged him to win the [[Masters Eight Tournament]] as Alola's representative.<br />
<br />
After some hard training with his Pokémon kept at Professor Oak's lab and Paul, Ash traveled to Galar once more to participate in the Masters Eight Tournament, along with the rest of the Masters Eight, reuniting with Iris, Alain, and the other regional Champions. His first opponent was chosen to be {{an|Steven Stone|Steven}}. After watching the other quarterfinal battles, Ash and Steven began their battle. Although he had a tough time against the Hoenn Champion, Ash was eventually able to defeat him with the help of 10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt, advancing him to the semifinals to face Cynthia. After witnessing Leon rather easily defeat Diantha, Ash took on Cynthia. Although Cynthia gained an early lead, Ash gradually evened the odds, until his Mega Lucario finally took home the victory, meaning that Ash and Leon's long-awaited battle was to finally happen.<br />
[[File:Ash winner.png|thumb|250px|left|Ash after becoming the new Monarch]]<br />
At the start of the finals, Leon surprised everyone by allowing Ash to use all three of Mega Evolution, Dynamax, and Z-Moves during the battle, which Ash accepted. During the climax of the battle, Eternatus appeared above Wyndon Stadium and granted both Trainers an additional use of Dynamax. The climactic showdown ended with a clash between Ash's Pikachu and [[Leon's Charizard]]. Ultimately, Ash's partner emerged victorious against the undefeated Charizard, fulfilling Ash's dream of defeating Leon and making him the new Monarch.<br />
<br />
Following the Masters Eight Tournament, Ash announced his intentions to set off on a new journey alone to continue learning more about Pokémon and achieve his goal of becoming a Pokémon Master. After departing from the Cerise Laboratory, Ash parted ways with Goh, who wished to go his way to achieve his dream.<br />
[[File:Ash Epilogue.png|thumb|250px|Ash resuming his journey with Pikachu]]<br />
Shortly after parting ways with Goh, Ash met an injured wild {{an|Latias}}. He helped to treat her injuries and protected her from being stolen by Team Rocket. As a result, she started to secretly follow him. Soon after, Ash reunited with Misty and Brock, who joined him in his travels once more as they continued to help out Pokémon in need and reunite with Ash's other old friends like Cilan, the [[Squirtle Squad]], and his Lapras. Latias eventually reappeared before Ash and requested his help in saving a {{p|Latios}} from a {{OBP|Pokémon hunter|JN146}}. Once the hunter had been stopped, the duo bid farewell to Ash and his friends. He decided to return to Pallet Town following this, with Brock and Misty also deciding to return to their respective hometowns, although not before expressing a desire to travel again in the future. After returning home, Ash reunited with Tracey and his Pidgeot, the latter of whom returned to his party. During an encounter with Gary, he was asked how close he was to becoming a Pokémon Master now that he had become the Monarch. After spending a while pondering the answer, Ash deduced that to him, a Pokémon Master is a person who can befriend any Pokémon. Since he had failed to truly befriend Latios despite helping him, he figured he still had to work more to achieve his dream. As such, he resolved to resume traveling and left Pallet Town with Pikachu once more.<br />
<br />
===Character===<br />
[[File:Ash and Delia.png|thumb|250px|left|Ash and his mother]]<br />
Ash is an only child who lived with his mother {{Delia}} until he left for his [[Pokémon journey]] at the age of ten. His main goal in life, as described in [[EP001|the first episode]], is to be the world's greatest [[Pokémon Master]]. One particular characteristic about Ash that has not changed throughout the series, aside from his determination and his passion for raising and training Pokémon, is that he is incredibly selfless. He will often go to extraordinary lengths to earn a Pokémon's trust and respect and to better understand a Pokémon that he sees as troubled. He is also very fair-minded and trusting, a true testament to his good-natured character.<br />
<br />
Ash has a strong sense of justice, especially when it comes to Pokémon. If a Pokémon is in trouble, he will make every effort to help them, even if he has no prior connection to them. If they are the cause of trouble, he will stop them, and then try to understand them, with almost all such occasions being a case of the Pokémon, or their Trainers or friends, having a problem which can't be resolved normally. In those cases, he will selflessly volunteer to help them. As shown on several occasions, such as in ''[[XY002|Lumiose City Pursuit!]]'' and ''[[JN137|The Road Most Traveled!]]'', he is even willing to put his own life in danger to help Pokémon. Should the problem be caused by [[human]]s, such as {{TRT}}, [[Pokémon hunter|Pokémon thieves, hunters, or poachers]], Ash will resolve to do anything in his power to stop them.<br />
<br />
Despite this and previous dealings with villainous teams, Ash has retained a remarkably optimistic and naive outlook, a trait {{ashfr|his companions}} seem to share. He is quick to praise and has an unshakable trust in both his Pokémon and his friends. Also, Ash is determined to see the best in everybody unless he has a very good reason not to. An example would be Team Rocket's frequent "sudden appearances" that coincide with their needs at that time, and Ash never questioning it until it is too late. Another example would be how he always praises {{an|Clemont}} for [[Clemontic Gear|his inventions]], no matter their high failure rate, and the near-inevitable explosion, or {{an|Cilan}} for his various hobbies. Furthermore, even though almost all of his friends have large dreams, Ash fully supports them and has never doubted their ability to accomplish them, possibly due to his own highly ambitious goal. He also encourages Pokémon to do the best they can, even if they aren't his own, and has even helped train [[wild Pokémon]].<br />
<br />
In the [[original series]], though Ash actively took part in {{pkmn|battle}}s, he was rarely seen independently {{pkmn|training}} his Pokémon. However, since {{aniseries|RS}}, Ash is shown training more noticeably, having practice battles with his friends and focusing on [[move]]s, techniques, and strategies with his Pokémon. A noticeable trait of Ash's is his willingness to learn from both his victories and defeats. For example, after winning in a [[Gym]] battle against [[Winona]] in ''[[AG085|Sky High Gym Battle!]]'' and witnessing her Pokémon's powerful {{m|Aerial Ace}}, Ash was motivated to have his {{AP|Swellow}} learn it. Even his losses can inspire him, such as when he lost to [[Clayton]] in ''[[DP159|Short and To the Punch!]]'' and decided to teach his {{AP|Buizel}} {{m|Ice Punch|one of the moves}} Clayton's {{p|Mr. Mime}} had used during their battle. He believes nothing he and his Pokémon do on their journey is a waste of time.<br />
<br />
In the beginning of the series, Ash had a bit of an inferiority complex, as well as some form of personal pride, most likely stemming from his [[rival]]ry with {{Gary}}. As a result, he had some bad habits, such as shamelessly boasting of his skill if he were ever on a winning streak, and becoming angered easily if he were personally insulted, as seen in ''[[EP008|The Path to the Pokémon League]]''. Ash used to complain about perfectly legal things, like [[Giselle]]'s {{p|Cubone}} using a bone in ''[[EP009|The School of Hard Knocks]]'', or [[Blaine]]'s use of the lava in ''[[EP059|Volcanic Panic]]''. He even locked himself up in his room and sulked after losing to [[Ritchie]], although this anger was not entirely unfounded as the loss came as a result of both his {{AP|Charizard}}'s disobedience and Team Rocket wearing out his other Pokémon before the match began. He overcame his disappointment after seeing and listening to how Ritchie took his loss as a way to better himself as a Trainer in ''[[EP080|Friends to the End]]''. Fortunately, during his journey, Ash has gotten over this particular character trait and is now more accepting of criticism of his skill, though he still gets upset if his Pokémon are insulted or degraded.<br />
<br />
[[File:Ash and Paul.png|thumb|250px|Ash and Paul]]<br />
Perhaps one of Ash's greatest rivalries was against [[Paul]] during his time in the [[Sinnoh]] region. On the contrary of Ash, who strongly believed in the [[Friendship|bond between Trainer and Pokémon]], Paul's only concern was with a Pokémon's strength, believing that bonding only caused them to become spoiled and unmotivated. Due to this, aside from winning the [[Sinnoh League]], Ash's biggest goal during his Sinnoh travels was to ultimately change Paul's mindset and have the latter finally acknowledge him as a Trainer worthy of his attention. After a long and exhausting journey, he finally managed to accomplish this after defeating Paul at the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]], after which Paul finally recognized Ash as his rival and equal.<br />
<br />
In most episodes of the series, especially those during the [[Johto League]] arc, Ash befriends someone who will influence him and cause him to strive to become a better Trainer. Although he is not a dependent individual, he is still young and has learned to make his way relying on his friends, particularly the maternal skills of {{an|Brock}}. The honor of "best friend" is usually reserved for Pikachu, but Ash has come to see his closest human friends in the same light over time; using the term for {{an|Misty}} and Brock in ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later!]]'' as well as {{an|May}} and [[Max]] in ''[[AG178|Battling the Enemy Within]]''.<br />
<br />
Ash has changed a great deal throughout the series, particularly regarding his skill at [[Pokémon training]], but his earnestness, rashness, and determination have remained. Never straying from his goal, he has remained loyal to his friends, family, and supporters, but most of all his Pokémon. Ash became a great Trainer by learning to find and use the inner strength of each of his Pokémon by bonding with them. For example, when he received a banner filled with prints from his Pokémon in ''[[AG187|The Unbeatable Lightness of Seeing!]]'', he knew which Pokémon placed specific prints, showing his close bond with them. He also learns where their hidden abilities lie, as well as resorting to unorthodox strategies when fighting particularly challenging opponents. For example, he uses his Pikachu's speed to outmaneuver larger foes and attack. In another instance, his Charizard defeated [[Gary's Blastoise]] by causing the field to overheat before mounting a close-quarters attack while Blastoise was blinded by the steam. He also prefers to train a Pokémon to be the best it can be without forcing it to [[Evolution|evolve]], as evidenced by his treatment of {{AP|Gligar}} in ''[[DP085|Fighting Fear With Fear!]]''. He is happy when his Pokémon evolve but lets them choose whether or not they want to evolve instead of forcing them.<br />
<br />
[[File:Ash catches a Pokémon JN.png|thumb|250px|left|Ash after catching a Pokémon]]<br />
Physically, Ash is in very good shape, especially for someone 10 years of age. He has a lot of stamina, walking miles upon miles through all kinds of environments while journeying between towns on his journey. He also has huge endurance, as seen when he took powerful attacks from various Pokémon head-on and then recovering quite quickly. Furthermore, Ash has demonstrated himself to be a bit acrobatic, occasionally being able to keep up with {{an|Iris}}, who virtually grew up swinging and jumping through treetops. Ash has occasionally displayed great reflexes, being able to dodge attacks or catch falling objects out of the blue, and even being able to save himself, or others, in the last second during perilous situations. What's more, Ash has exhibited tremendous willpower, as seen when he took attacks for long periods and keeps advancing, which also drives his "never give up" attitude when it comes to Pokémon battles. He is also strong, being capable of picking up heavy Pokémon such as Larvitar and Hippopotas.<br />
<br />
Ash is also quite dense when it comes to matters of the field of romance. Throughout the series, Ash has only displayed open interest in a [[Giselle|female]] only [[EP009|once]], and nothing came out of it. Though some girls in the series have shown obvious affection towards him, Ash meets it with nearly unfailing obtuseness, which some characters have also noticed. Even when it involves other people's romance, Ash is usually oblivious until someone points it out to him. Also, on a few occasions when it came to a matter of Pokémon love, with a male who's experiencing difficulty in gaining the attention of a female, while his friends will often mainly advise on improving the male's looks or charm, Ash's advice is simply to be stronger. Despite this, however, it is shown on several occasions that Ash does seem to understand the concept of marriage, most notably in ''[[SM055|The Professors' New Adventure]]'', when he got excited by the news of {{an|Professor Kukui}} and {{an|Professor Burnet}}'s engagement, and subsequently worked with his classmates to organize a big wedding ceremony for them.<br />
<br />
Early on, Ash originally trained not to further himself but instead to catch more Pokémon than Gary, a feat that he never accomplished. Ash later slowed his pace, which allowed him to focus on the individual traits of each Pokémon. At the [[Silver Conference]], with great humility and maturity, Ash finally won a battle against his old rival, signifying a great milestone in his history as a Trainer. His maturity has also increased in his dealings with Pokémon. This was shown when {{AP|a Mankey|Primeape}} stole his {{AP|hat}} in ''[[EP025|Primeape Goes Bananas]]'', he screamed and yelled at it, even climbing trees just to get his hat back, but when an {{AP|Aipom}} did the same in ''[[AG179|Slaking Kong]]'', he stated merely that he would feel strange without a hat. When Aipom stole his hat again on several future occasions, however, while she was under his ownership, he chased after her in the same manner as before, most likely out of exasperation that she still hadn't learned her lesson.<br />
<br />
Ash has traversed much of the [[Pokémon world]] and has thus far participated in various [[Pokémon League Conference]]s, but he is still learning new things about Pokémon all the time. He has also gained a close connection with many {{pkmn2|Legendary}} and [[Mythical Pokémon]], such as the ones who played major roles in the {{pkmn|movie}}s. In the English dub [[M02|second movie]], he was revealed to be "The Chosen One" - the one who would bring balance back to the world when it was disrupted.<br />
[[File:Ash Aura.png|thumb|250px|Ash using Aura inside the [[Tree of Beginning]]]]<br />
Ash possesses some special abilities as he has the rare ability to use [[Aura]]. He is said to have the same Aura as [[Sir Aaron]], a legendary hero, and is theoretically able to manipulate it in much the same way. Therefore, he made a connection with Sir Aaron's {{OBP|Lucario|M08}}. However, he has not received any training in this field, opting to continue his Pokémon journey instead. He has also been likened to an ancient Aura guardian in ''[[DP056|The Keystone Pops!]]'', who also had a partner {{p|Pikachu}}. Later, in ''[[DP071|Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! Part 1]]'' and ''[[DP072|Part 2]]'', Ash uses Aura again to locate a lost [[Aura Sphere Riolu|Riolu]] and read its mind as well. This time, however, he merely senses the Aura, rather than manipulating it. In ''[[JN021|Caring for a Mystery!]]'', an unhatched {{p|Riolu}} reacted to Ash's Aura, and he was able to sense the Egg's response, leading him to it. Ash also has the unique ability to use [[Bond Phenomenon]]. After he obtained a [[Key Stone]], Ash's Aura powers were enhanced significantly, allowing him and his {{AP|Lucario}} to sense each other from a great distance away. After training with {{AP|Greninja}}, Ash and Lucario were able to synchronize their Auras even better, allowing Lucario to make its {{m|Aura Sphere}} grow into massive proportions by drawing power from the Auras of its allies.<br />
<br />
Though his passion remains in battling, Ash is always eager to try new things, especially if he can do them together with {{cat|Ash's Pokémon|his Pokémon}}, having participated in other events like [[Pokémon Contest]]s, [[PokéRinger]] tournaments, and even a [[Hearthome Collection|fashion show]] and a {{pkmn|Dress-Up Contest|cosplay convention}} as well as various other {{cat|Pokémon competitions}}. He has [[Contest Pass]]es for [[Sinnoh]] and [[Hoenn]]. Ash carries with him half of a broken {{i|Poké Ball}}, while [[Gary Oak]] has the other half, as a symbol of their ongoing, but now friendly, rivalry; [[Misty's special lure]], which she sent to him as a gift; and half of the {{DL|Ribbon|Terracotta Medal}} he received after his [[Contest Battle]] with May in the unofficial {{to|Terracotta}} Contest ended in a tie.<br />
[[File:Ash Alolan Family.png|thumb|250px|left|Ash and his Alolan family]]<br />
His father has not been introduced. The series suggests that his father was once a Pokémon Trainer who began his journey in Pallet Town and that he is still living. In the original, he is also confirmed to have a grandfather, whose son followed his footsteps. An interview with the series storyboard artist [[Masamitsu Hidaka]] confirmed Ash's father is a Trainer on his own journey. According to Hidaka, Ash's father may or may not be introduced in the series, depending on its necessity to further Ash's maturity and development as a Trainer. On the other hand, according to [[Pocket Monsters: The Animation|Takeshi Shudō's novelization]], Ash's father left home to go on a journey right after Ash was born and never returned since. As he never registered his name in the Pokémon Trainer's list, his whereabouts are unknown. However, during his time in [[Alola]], Ash's family expanded with Professor Kukui and Professor Burnet, as shown in ''[[SM084|The Shape of Love to Come!]]'', when [[Mina]] was making a family portrait of them and agreed with {{an|Lana}} when she called the Professors his Alolan family. Ash also gets an Alolan brother in Professor Kukui and Professor Burnet's son, [[Lei]], as seen in ''[[JN037|That New Old Gang of Mine!]]''.<br />
<br />
Once he gained the title of {{pkmn|Champion}} in the Alola region, Ash became a local celebrity there, as seen in ''[[JN076|All Out, All of the Time!]]'' and ''[[JN112|Helping the Hometown Hero!]]''. After becoming the [[World Coronation Series]] Monarch, Ash became a more recognized figure in other regions, as seen in ''[[JN141|A Squad's Worth of Passion!]]''.<br />

[[File:Ash with his Pokémon JN114.png|thumb|left|250px|Ash with his team and Pokémon at Oak's lab as of ''[[JN114|Friends, Rivals, Lend Me Your Spirit!]]'']]<br />
[[File:Ash Released Pokémon.png|thumb|250px|Some of the Pokémon Ash formerly traveled with (plus the [[Pink Butterfree]])]]<br />
As a Trainer, Ash has {{pkmn2|caught}} and [[Friendship|befriended]] a sizable number of {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} throughout his [[Pokémon journey]]. His philosophy on {{pkmn|training}} is that Pokémon are individuals, and that a combination of trust, friendship, and hard work are needed to overcome adversity. Most of Ash's Pokémon were caught because they allowed him to after he befriended them. He seems to {{pkmn|battle}} best with Pokémon that are similar to Pikachu—ones that are [[Appendix:Metagame terminology#Sweeper|speedy and maneuverable, yet able to perform high-powered attacks]]—however, he is willing to work with any Pokémon that comes into his care.<br />
<br />
Ash's battle style is generally spontaneous and fairly unorthodox, and his Pokémon often reflect these traits. He often ignores type advantages and has been shown to use unusual strategies. For instance, during {{aniseries|DP}}, he incorporated a twisting-spinning maneuver into his Pokémon's attacks, which eventually led to him creating the original technique, [[Counter Shield]]. He occasionally takes inspiration from other Trainers' battle styles, and has even used their strategies to enhance his own as shown with {{an|Dawn}}, [[Paul]], and {{an|Tierno}}, although he tends to be most comfortable using his own unique strategy and has stated it to be the one he can truly count on.<br />
<br />
Ash is very attached to his Pokémon and prefers to [[Friendship|bond]] with them through battling and training. Furthermore, he cares about their opinion, even giving them the option of whether they should [[Evolution|evolve]] or not. As such, the majority of his Pokémon also share Ash's stubborn and reckless nature, persistently attempting to rise and continue battling, even after receiving a great amount of damage and being at the end of their rope. However, if it is by their wish, or if he believes it is best for them, Ash will—if sometimes reluctantly—[[trade]] or [[Released Pokémon|release]] them, and in some cases, leave them with more experienced individuals so that they can train and get stronger. If Ash ever accidentally upsets his Pokémon, he will work hard to make amends and repair the bond with them.<br />
<br />
Though Ash normally catches five or more Pokémon per [[series]], he rarely ever switches the Pokémon in his current [[party]] with those in [[Pokémon Storage System|storage]] or with other Trainers. He usually only does so for important battles (such as [[Pokémon League Conference]] or {{gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} matches), or when attending certain events that require a specific Pokémon (like {{AP|Tauros}} at the [[Pokémon Swap Meet]] or {{AP|Snorlax}} at the [[Sumo Conference]]). He does allow his Pokémon to rejoin his team if they directly request it, such as when {{AP|Phanpy}} approached him after his [[Hoenn]] journey or when {{AP|Aipom}} stowed away on the boat to [[Sinnoh]]. He also added {{AP|Charizard}} to his [[Unova]] party after being reminded of it by the [[Kanto Fair]], but would not regularly rotate his full roster of Pokémon until ''[[To Be a Pokémon Master|Pokémon: To Be a Pokémon Master]]''.<br />
<br />
At the end of each series, Ash will typically leave behind all of his current Pokémon (sans Pikachu) at {{an|Professor Oak}}'s [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|Laboratory]], a trait inspired by {{Gary}} at the end of the [[Silver Conference]]. During {{aniseries|BW}}, Ash's Unova Pokémon were instead kept in storage at [[Professor Juniper]]'s lab in [[Nuvema Town]] when not in his party, but after Ash left Unova to travel through the [[Decolore Islands]], Professor Juniper transferred these Pokémon to Professor Oak. At the end of {{aniseries|SM}}, he chose to leave his [[Alola]] Pokémon with {{an|Professor Kukui|Professors Kukui}} and {{an|Professor Burnet|Burnet}}.<br />
<br />
Ash currently has ownership of 78 Pokémon, including all 30 of his Tauros. Including pre-evolved forms, traded, released, and [[Gift Pokémon|given away]] Pokémon (and not including the additional Tauros), in total, Ash has officially owned a total of 98 different Pokémon species (102 if Larvitar and Solgaleo are included). <br />

<br />
==In the core series games==<br />
[[File:Abandoned Megamart Ash and Pikachu.png|thumb|250px|Pikachu riding on Ash's shoulder]]<br />
Ash Ketchum is based on {{ga|Red}}, his counterpart from the games. Additionally, "Ash" is one of the suggested names for Red in the games {{game|Red and Blue|s|Pokémon Red}}, {{v2|Yellow}}, [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed, and LeafGreen]], for the rival character {{ga|Blue}} in the games {{game|Red and Blue|s|Pokémon Blue}} (international) and LeafGreen, and for {{ga|Ethan}} in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}.<br />
<br />
In {{game|Yellow}}, some elements are based on the [[Pokémon the Series|animated series]]. Red, the player character, starts with a {{TP|Red|Pikachu}}, which is based on [[Ash's Pikachu]]. Red later receives the trio of Kanto [[first partner Pokémon]] in similar circumstances as Ash: {{p|Bulbasaur}} from a girl based on [[Melanie]], {{p|Charmander}} from a boy based on [[Damian]], and {{p|Squirtle}} from an [[Officer Jenny]].<br />
<br />
In the Spanish version of [[Pokémon X and Y]], a male {{tc|Rising Star}} in {{rt|21|Kalos}} says that his Pokémon is named "Ash Ketchum".<br />
<br />
In the {{FB|Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon|Special Demo Version}} of {{g|Sun and Moon}}, the player, {{ga|Elio|Sun}}, receives an unsigned letter from somebody heavily implied to be Ash. Included with this letter is a {{AP|Greninja}}, with "Ash" being listed as its [[Original Trainer]]. Like in the animated series, Ash's Greninja can transform into {{fd|Greninja|Ash-Greninja}} by using its unique [[Ability]], {{a|Battle Bond}}.<br />
<br />
In Pokémon Sun, Moon, {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon}}, a photo of Ash and Pikachu can be seen in the back room of the abandoned {{OBP|Thrifty Megamart|Abandoned Site}}.<br />
<br />
==={{pkmn|event|Events}}===<br />
Several [[event Pokémon]] based on Ash's Pokémon have been made throughout the franchise. In addition to the aforementioned Greninja, a special form of {{p|Pikachu}} [[Pikachu in a cap|wearing Ash's different hats]] up to {{aniseries|SM}} were made available in {{g|Sun and Moon}}. Later games introduced Pikachu with Ash's hats from ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'' and {{aniseries|JN}}.<br />

===[[Pokémon Masters EX]]===<br />
{{main|Ash (Masters)}}<br />
Ash, in his {{aniseries|JN}} design, forms a [[sync pair]] with {{AP|Pikachu}} in [[Pokémon Masters EX]]. Ash became a playable sync pair on August 28, 2022.<br />
<br />
In this game, Ash accidentally wound up on [[Pasio]] while training for the [[Masters Eight Tournament]]. He first appeared as an NPC during the [[special event]] {{DL|Special event|The Classic Thunderbolt}}. Ash was also shown to pair alongside the other members of his ''Pokémon Journeys'' team, which could be battled during the {{DL|Special event|Challenge from Ash}} event.<br />

==In the manga==<br />
===The Electric Tale of Pikachu===<br />
{{main|Ash Ketchum (EToP)}}<br />
Ash is a starring character in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]], which is based on {{aniseries|OS}}. His journey follows roughly the same plot as in ''Pokémon the Series: The Beginning'': first traveling the [[Kanto]] region to participate in the [[Indigo Plateau Conference|Pokémon League]], before embarking on a journey around the [[Orange Islands]].<br />
<br />
[[File:DP series trio.png|thumb|left|200px|Ash with his friends in the movie 10 manga adaptation]]<br />
[[File:Ash and Brock MPJ.png|thumb|200px|Ash and Brock in [[Magical Pokémon Journey]]]]<br />
===Movie adaptations===<br />
Since Ash and his Pikachu have appeared in every Pokémon movie to date, likewise, Ash is the main character in every movie manga adaptation. The same applies to Ash's team as they made similar appearances.<br />
<br />
===Magical Pokémon Journey===<br />
Ash, along with {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}}, made cameo appearances in bonus chapters of [[Magical Pokémon Journey]]. In them, Ash and {{ashfr}} have mistakenly wandered into the world Magical Pokémon Journey is set in. The bonus chapters chronicle their attempts to return to their world (of the animated series) and their encounters with various aspects of the Magical Pokémon Journey [[canon]] which differ from the animated series canon (such as the use of [[Poké Ball]]s).<br />

Ash is the main protagonist of [[Ash & Pikachu]], which is based on {{aniseries|GS}} and {{aniseries|RS}}, adapting episode plots from the [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]], and {{gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} sagas.<br />

==In the TCG==<br />
[[File:AshFriendshipAshvsTeamRocketDeck25.jpg|thumb|200px|right|{{TCG ID|Ash vs Team Rocket Deck|Ash's Friendship|25}}, Ash's only Supporter card. Notice how it uses the Sun & Moon layout. This means no cards focusing on Ash himself were released in the first decade of Pokémon!]]<br />
While Ash Ketchum was the main character of the primary Pokémon animation for the majority of the brand's existence, Ash makes vanishingly few appearances in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]]. This is especially notable when compared to the main antagonists of the [[Team Rocket trio]], which have received more cards than Ash has. The majority of cards relating to Ash have not been released outside of Japan.<br />
<br />
Most of the time, it is the Pokémon that Ash uses that receive cards. Usually, these are released alongside [[Pokémon movie]]s. The first of these was a [[jumbo card|jumbo]] {{TCG|Unnumbered Promotional cards|promo card}} for his [[Ash's Pikachu|Pikachu]] teamed up with the [[Pichu Brothers]], which was [[Pichu and Pikachu (CoroCoro promo)|Pichu and Pikachu]]. It was a tie in to ''[[PK07|Pikachu and Pichu]]'', one of the [[Pikachu short]]s. The first card released at normal size was {{TCG ID|ADV-P Promo|Ash's Treecko|36}}, released as a promotional card. Ash is present in the art of the card, although only as a mirage. {{TCG ID|Movie VS Pack|Ash's Torkoal|9}} heralded in the usual way Ash's Pokémon were released in the [[Pokemon Trading Card Game#EX Series|EX Series]], by being released as part of the {{TCG|Movie Commemoration VS Pack: Sky-Splitting Deoxys}} {{TCG|deck kit}}. That kit was released to coincide with ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'', and included many of the Pokémon seen in the movie as cards. Several more of Ash's Pokémon would receive cards in deck kits in this manner. As cards with "Ash's" as a prefix, they are mechanically [[Owner's Pokémon]].<br />
<br />
[[File:StaraptorMMovieRandomPack18.jpg|thumb|200px|left|[[Staraptor M (Movie Random Pack 18)|Staraptor]] {{SP|M}}. This card does not say it is Ash's Staraptor, and its name only indicates it is from the movie. But the icon of Ash and the artwork make it clear that this is Ash's Staraptor.]]<br />
As the [[Pokemon Trading Card Game#Diamond & Pearl Series|Diamond & Pearl Series]] rolled around, cards featuring Pokémon that Ash possesses changed. They were instead [[Pokémon M]], a group of [[Pokémon SP]] based on the Pokémon seen in Pokémon movies which were released in the {{TCG|Movie Commemoration Random Pack}} to promote ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''. Two of them are Pokémon that Ash used, namely [[Pikachu M (Movie Random Pack 12)|Pikachu]] {{SP|M}} for Ash's Pikachu and [[Staraptor M (Movie Random Pack 18)|Staraptor]] {{SP|M}} for [[Ash's Staraptor]]. Ash is featured in the artwork of the cards. A third card, [[Pikachu M LV.X (DPt-P Promo 43)|Pikachu]] {{SP|M}} [[Pikachu M LV.X (DPt-P Promo 43)|LV.X]], was released as [[DPt-P Promotional cards|DPt-P Promotional card]] alongside the set and is a {{TCG|Pokémon LV.X|Level Up}} for the Pikachu {{SP|M}} card. After this, Ash Ketchum related cards made fewer appearances for a while.<br />
<br />
Cards relating to Ash returned in the [[Pokemon Trading Card Game#Black & White Series|Black & White Series]]. An event tied to the distribution of [[List of local English event Pokémon distributions in Generation V#Secret Eggs|Secret Eggs]] which had the possibility of hatching into a {{p|Pidove}} based on [[Ash's Pidove]] (among other main characters' Pokémon) also involved the release of a {{TCG|BW Black Star Promos|BW Black Star Promo}} {{TCG ID|BW Promo|Pidove|15}}. This ties the card to Ash's Pidove as well. In the XY Series, an [[Ash-Greninja-EX (XY Promo 133)|Ash-Greninja]]{{EX}} was released. It showcased [[Ash-Greninja]], a new form that [[Ash's Greninja]] could take on in the show during [[S19|Pokémon the Series: XYZ]] that resembles Ash himself. Both of these cards received English releases.<br />
<br />
[[File:AshPikachuGXAshVSTeamRocketDeckKit5.jpg|thumb|200px|right|[[Ash's Pikachu-GX (Ash vs Team Rocket Deck 5)|Ash's Pikachu]]{{GX}} has to be in play to get Ash's Friendship's full effect of drawing four cards. Otherwise, the Supporter just draws two cards.]]<br />
The [[Pokemon Trading Card Game#Sun & Moon Series|Sun & Moon Series]] has Ash's most prominent appearances in the TCG to date. The {{TCG|Ash vs Team Rocket Deck Kit}} included a complete half deck themed around Ash Ketchum instead of having Ash only be included in a movie themed deck. Many of the Pokémon have artwork related to Ash's adventures in [[Alola]] during {{aniseries|SM}}. (Although these cards are not named after Ash, and therefore have no gameplay distinction, the context of their artwork and this product mean they very clearly represent the Pokémon that Ash meets.) Ash's Pikachu got another printing, this time as [[Ash's Pikachu-GX (Ash vs Team Rocket Deck 5)|Ash's Pikachu]]{{GX}}. Most importantly, an Ash {{TCG|Supporter card}} was finally printed as {{TCG ID|Ash vs Team Rocket Deck|Ash's Friendship|25}}. It causes the user to draw two cards, but instead draws four cards if that player also has Ash's Pikachu{{GX}} in play. Naturally, Ash is present in the art of Ash's Pikachu {{GX}}, as well as in the art of three of the other Pokémon in the Ash deck. A card for [[Ash's Litten]], {{TCG ID|SM-P Promo|Litten|59}}, was released as a promotional card alongside the deck kit, which also has Ash in its artwork.<br />
<br />
Ash's Pikachu would be printed seven more times in the Sun & Moon Series, this time as {{TCG|SM Black Star Promos}} representing the various [[Pikachu in a cap|Ash's Pikachu forms]]. These cards, as with the entire promotion surrounding the forms, were a tie in to the movie ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]''. Each one wears one of [[Ash's hat]]s from across {{aniseries|PTS}}. These cards also received an English language release.<br />
<br />
Lastly, a card representing Ash's Pikachu, {{TCG ID|SM Promo|Pikachu|227}}, was printed as SM Black Star Promo, with its basis being the movie ''[[M22|Mewtwo Strikes Back—Evolution]]''. While this card did receive an English printing, a printing with art including Ash Ketchum was only used in Japan.<br />

[[File:Ash hat OS concept art.jpg|thumb|200px|Concept art of Ash's hat from the original series]]<br />
[[File:Ash Dewgong Drawing.png|thumb|200px|Ash's drawing of a Dewgong]]<br />
* Ash was designed by [[Atsuko Nishida]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/El_Aleph87/status/1632063563744378884 Press release of "Hometown Story"]</ref><br />
* Ash's height is around 4'7" (140&nbsp;cm).<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20210219050737/https://pokemonday.pokemon.co.jp/tips/065/ Japanese Pokémon Day website tip #65] (Archived)</ref><br />
* [[Ash's hat]] in the [[original series]] was similar to {{ga|Red}}'s hat in his original design from {{game|Red and Green|s}} before undergoing several changes until the final design.<br />
* Ash is still considered a 10-year-old in promotional materials and in mainline animated series episodes as recent as ''[[JN067|Sleuths for Truth!]]'', despite at least a year having been implied to have passed between ''[[EP158|A Goldenrod Opportunity]]'' and ''[[BW141|Best Wishes Until We Meet Again!]]''.<br />
** [[Kunihiko Yuyama]], creative supervisor for {{aniseries|JN}} and executive director for prior series, has stated in an interview with {{wp|Daniel Arsham}} in ''Arsham's Pokédex'', a collection of Pokémon-related artwork, that Ash does not age because the animated series is set in an endless early summer.<br />
* When [[Veronica Taylor]] was interviewed in the documentary "Adventures in Voice Acting", she stated that during her audition for the role of Ash, he was known as Casey at the time. This name would later be given to a {{an|Casey|recurring character from Johto}}.<br />
* Ash originally wanted a {{p|Squirtle}} to be his [[first partner Pokémon]], but {{an|Professor Oak}} told him it was taken by a [[Gary Oak|Trainer who was not late]].<br />
* In the animated series, Ash is the first and, so far, only [[Pokémon Trainer]]:<br />
** With a known [[hometown]] to not be native to any of the regions he is the {{pkmn|Champion}} of.<br />
** With access to [[Z-Move]]s, [[Dynamax]]/[[Gigantamax]], and [[Mega Evolution]] at the same time.<br />
*** Who has used more than one of those in a single battle.<br />
** Shown to have won two of the same Gym Badge, as he's earned a {{badge|Rain}} from both [[Juan]] and [[Wallace]].<br />
* Ash is the only Champion in the animated series to own a [[Mythical Pokémon]].<br />
* Ash has never caught another Electric-type Pokémon other than Pikachu.<br />
* Ash has never officially owned a {{cat|female-only Pokémon}}.<br />
** While he has technically owned a [[Legendary Pokémon]] in {{AP|Solgaleo}}, he has never officially {{pkmn2|caught}} one in a [[Poké Ball]].<br />
* Ash has caught at least one of the [[first partner Pokémon]] of every [[region]] he has visited, except for [[Galar]].<br />
* As of ''[[JN016|A Chilling Curse!]]'', Ash has caught at least one Pokémon belonging to all eighteen [[type]]s (this includes Pokémon he owns or has owned that have been retroactively made {{type|Fairy}}).<br />
** Also, as of ''[[JN099|Battling Turned Up to Eleven!]]'', he has used at least one [[move]] of every type with his Pokémon.<br />
* Ash has caught at least one {{type|Flying}} Pokémon in every [[series]].<br />
** Moreover, Flying is the most common type among Ash's non-temporary Pokémon under his ownership, with a total of twelve representants.<br />
* [[Alola]] is the only region in which Ash does not catch a {{type|Water}} Pokémon.<br />
** Similarly, ''Pokémon Journeys: The Series'' is the only series in which he does not catch a {{type|Fire}} Pokémon.<br />
* All of Ash's {{type|Grass}} Pokémon are part of a three-stage evolutionary line.<br />
* Ash's favorite move is {{m|Thunderbolt}}, as revealed by himself in ''[[XY025|Climbing the Walls!]]''.<br />
* Ash can {{wp|drawing|draw}}, as shown in ''[[DP089|Up Close and Personable!]]'' when he drew a {{p|Dewgong}}. However, his drawing was insulted by [[Angie]].<br />
* Ash has been shown to be a good climber at various points in the animated series, such as in ''[[BW002|Enter Iris and Axew!]]'', ''Climbing the Walls'', and ''[[SM075|Some Kind of Laziness!]]'', to the point of {{an|Misty}} saying "He climbs like a {{p|Mankey}}" in ''[[M04|Celebi: The Voice of the Forest]]'', and {{an|Brock}} calling him a "human {{p|Aipom}}" in ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]''.<br />
* Ash has lost once to every {{type|Normal}} [[Gym Leader]] he has met. Out of the four Normal-type Gym Leaders he has battled against, [[Cheren]] is the only one against whom Ash has never won.<br />
* The only region where Ash didn't lose any official Gym battles is the [[Orange Islands|Orange Archipelago]].<br />
** Also, Ash did not lose any official trials in {{aniseries|SM}}, although he lost to [[Nanu]] in an [[SM074|unofficial battle]].<br />
* Ever since facing [[Wattson]] in ''[[AG040|Watt's with Wattson?]]'', Ash has not won a Gym [[Badge]] in the same episode in which he meets the [[Gym Leader]].<br />
* If only {{pkmn|Trainer}} battles are counted, Ash's longest winning streak lasted a total of 87 episodes, spanning from his loss to [[Rinto]] in ''[[JN051|Trials of a Budding Master!]]'' to his loss to Misty in ''[[JN138|A Fated Face-Off!]]''.<br />
** If not, as all of his eligible Pokémon were defeated in a [[Raid Battle (GO)#In animation|Raid Battle]] against an {{p|Articuno}} in ''[[JN102|Battling in the Freezing Raid!]]'', the longest period Ash has been on a winning streak is exactly 70 episodes, going from ''[[XY036|Battles in the Sky!]]'' to ''[[XY106|A Meeting of Two Journeys!]]''.<br />
* Ash has defeated more regional Champions onscreen in the animated series than any other Trainer, having won official battles against {{an|Iris}}, {{an|Steven Stone|Steven}}, {{an|Cynthia}}, and {{an|Leon}}, as well as an unofficial battle against [[Alder]], who fell asleep before the battle began and forfeited soon after waking up.<br />
** Additionally, he has defeated Wallace, the former [[Hoenn]] Champion.<br />
* Ash shares at least one Pokémon of the same evolutionary line with one of his rivals in each series.<br />
* ''[[JN032|Time After Time!]]'' and ''[[JN133|The Mew from Here!]]'' are the only mainline animated series episodes of {{aniseries|PTS}} to not feature Ash in any capacity.<br />
* In promotional material for the [[Manalo Conference]], Ash was given the title of (Japanese: ゼンリョクチャレンジャ ''Full-force challenger'').<br />
* {{DL|Pokémon social media|National Ash Ketchum Day}} is celebrated every September 15, the anniversary of Ash's first [[Pokémon League Conference]] [[SM139|victory]], first being celebrated on said victory's first-year anniversary in 2020.<br />
* In the [[Pokémon: Twilight Wings]] episode ''[[TW01|Letter]]'', a Trainer who bears a resemblance to Ash can be seen at the entrance to [[Wyndon Stadium]] with a {{p|Pikachu}}.<br />
* Although Ash has been retired from the role of main protagonist as of {{aniseries|HZ}}, Senior Marketing Director of [[The Pokémon Company International]], Andy Gose, has not ruled out the possibility of him reappearing at some point due to him still being around in the world of Pokémon.<ref>[https://variety.com/2024/tv/news/pokemon-horizons-netflix-ash-ketchum-1235927798/?utm_source=syndication Variety]</ref><br />
* In [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]], [[Mission (Legends: Z-A)#Side mission|Side Mission 107]]: "The World's Greatest Pikachu!" is requested by a {{tc|Grade-Schooler}} named Pikami, who uses only a {{p|Pikachu}} and whose attire resembles that of Ash, likely being a reference.<br />
* In the licensed Brazilian music video "[[The Strength of the Master]]", a boy and a girl appear dressed as Ash and Misty.<br />

;With Damian<br />
[[File:Damian Charmander.png|thumb|left|220px|Charmander and Damian]]<br />
Charizard originally belonged to a boastful {{pkmn|Trainer}} named [[Damian]] when it was a Charmander. However, in ''[[EP011|Charmander - The Stray Pokémon]]'', Damian grew tired of Charmander being weak, and so he abandoned him, leaving him on a rocky outcrop and telling him that he would come back later. Charmander's health deteriorated, but he was able to resist capture by {{Ash}} twice before explaining to {{AP|Pikachu}} that he was waiting for Damian. Later, Ash met Damian and learned he never planned to return for Charmander. Outraged but mostly concerned for Charmander, who was now stuck out in the rain loyally awaiting Damian, {{an|Brock}}, Ash, and {{an|Misty}} rushed to his rescue, with Brock carrying him to the [[Pokémon Center]] while Ash sheltered the little remaining tail flame with his coat.<br />
[[File:Ash Charmander waiting for Damian.png|thumb|250px|Charmander waiting in the rain for Damian]]<br />
Despite the care shown to him, Charmander was unwilling to remain at the Pokémon Center and returned to the rock where he had been staying. However, he came across {{TRT}}, who had stolen Pikachu. Charmander ordered them to return Pikachu, and when they ignored him, he blasted them with a Flamethrower to send them running away, leaving behind Pikachu. Ash invited Charmander to join them, but Damian turned up with many {{i|Poké Ball}}s and said that he had intentionally abandoned Charmander to toughen him up. Damian threw a Poké Ball at him, but Charmander deflected the Ball in defiance. Having seen Damian's character, Charmander staunchly refused to return, and when Damian threatened to crush him with all of his other Pokémon, he attacked Damian with a Flamethrower attack alongside Pikachu, who used {{m|Thunder Shock}}. Damian fled, and Charmander happily joined Ash's team instead.<br />
<br />
;With Ash<br />
Charmander immediately became one of Ash's main Pokémon, being used in the [[EP012|very next episode]] as a torch to help Ash through the caves. He also joined a group of other Charmander on the [[S.S. Anne|St. Anne]] in ''[[EP015|Battle Aboard the St. Anne]]'' to repel {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s. [[EP016|Later]], Charmander used Flamethrower to torch a hole in the capsized St. Anne's hull, allowing the group and Team Rocket to escape the ship.<br />
<br />
Charmander was separated from Ash in ''[[EP017|Island of the Giant Pokémon]]''—along with Pikachu, {{AP|Bulbasaur}}, and {{AP|Squirtle}}—after a group of {{p|Gyarados}} sent them flying with {{m|Dragon Rage}}. During the separation, Charmander tried to remain optimistic about their Trainer's whereabouts, despite Bulbasaur's belief that they were abandoned and Squirtle's jokes that he'd been eaten. When Ash's Pokémon came across Team Rocket's Pokémon, who were also separated from their Trainers, the two groups of Pokémon joined forces to look for them. The next day, the group came across a group of giant Pokémon and ended up being chased by them straight to Ash, his friends, and Team Rocket, allowing them to reunite.<br />
<br />
In ''[[EP023|The Tower of Terror]]'', Charmander lit the way through [[Pokémon Tower]] during Ash's search for a {{t|Ghost}}-type Pokémon to challenge the [[Saffron City]] Gym Leader [[Sabrina]]. Although frightened, Charmander tried to be brave for his Trainer. He attempted to use {{m|Leer}} against a {{TP|Sabrina|Haunter}}, but the wild Pokémon laughed off the attempt and attacked Charmander with {{m|Lick}}, forcing Ash to recall him. The Haunter took a liking to Ash and agreed to help him challenge Sabrina in [[EP024|the following episode]], but disappeared when it came time to battle. Ash attempted to send Charmander out to fight, but it refused to step into the ring with Sabrina's {{TP|Sabrina|Kadabra}}.<br />
<br />
In ''[[EP025|Primeape Goes Bananas]]'', Charmander battled a berserk {{AP|Primeape}}. He finally subdued his opponent using {{m|Rage}} and Flamethrower. Charmander made his Gym Battle debut in [[EP026|the next episode]], where he defeated [[Erika]]'s {{p|Weepinbell}} after burning {{m|Razor Leaf}} and then striking a powerful Skull Bash. However, in the next round, the pure stench emitting from her {{p|Gloom}} caused Charmander to choke and faint. Ash called on Charmander's assistance against [[Koga]] in ''[[EP032|The Ninja Poké-Showdown]]''. He went up against Koga's {{p|Venomoth}} briefly before their match was interrupted by Team Rocket. For the official Gym battle, Charmander went up against [[Koga's Golbat]] and defeated it with Ember and Fire Spin, earning Ash the {{Badge|Soul}}.<br />
[[File:Ash Charmeleon disobedience.png|thumb|left|250px|Charmeleon attacking Ash]]<br />
The rise in Charmander's battle [[experience]] reached its peak in ''[[EP043|The March of the Exeggutor Squad]]'', where he helped stop a large number of rampaging {{p|Exeggutor}}. Subsequently, Charmander [[Evolution|evolved]] into {{p|Charmeleon}}. However, in ''[[EP044|The Problem with Paras]]'', it was revealed that Charmeleon was no longer [[obedience|obedient]] to Ash, attacking a {{p|Paras}} when Ash was deliberately trying to lose to help Paras evolve. [[Lacy (EP044)|Cassandra's grandmother]] explained that Charmeleon's skill level had exceeded Ash's, and therefore he did not respect him. Ironically, a rampaging Charmeleon was stopped when Paras, desperately trying to avoid punishment, jabbed at him with a claw. After evolving into {{p|Parasect}}, it put Charmeleon to sleep with {{m|Spore}} and allowed Ash to [[recall]] him. Cassandra's grandmother warned Ash that he needed to learn to control Charmeleon.<br />
<br />
Ash stopped using his disobedient Charmeleon but tried again in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]'' to repel wild [[Fossil|Fossil Pokémon]], which he refused to do. When an {{p|Aerodactyl}} swooped past, knocking Charmeleon over, Charmeleon attempted to fight back. He then jumped up, grabbed the escaping Aerodactyl's tail, and followed it into the open air, but was soon shaken off. Upset, Charmeleon evolved into {{p|Charizard}} and flew after Aerodactyl to avenge his injured pride. When {{an|Jigglypuff}} began singing at Misty's request in a desperate attempt to save Ash, Charizard attempted to block out the sleep-bound effects of the song, to no avail. Nonetheless, he managed to catch Ash and put him on the ground before going to sleep, but unfortunately, retained his disobedience afterward.<br />
[[File:Ash Charizard newly evolved.png|thumb|250px|As a newly evolved {{p|Charizard}}]]<br />
Charizard's disobedience towards his Trainer began to cause Ash some serious problems during his {{pkmn|journey}}, losing the [[Cinnabar Gym]] battle against [[Blaine]] in ''[[EP058|Riddle Me This]]'', as he simply loafed off and allowed {{p|Rhydon}} an easy win after Charizard left the ring, causing Blaine to disqualify him from the match. In [[EP059|the next episode]], Charizard refused to help dam the volcano but changed his mind after seeing Blaine's powerful {{TP|Blaine|Magmar}} contributing. After working together, the duo were left with a burning desire to test each other's strength. Blaine allowed Ash to [[rematch]] him at the volcano's peak, and the two Pokémon seemed evenly matched. Magmar dropped Charizard into the lava, but Charizard regained the upper hand by dazing Magmar with an aerial {{m|Submission}} attack and then knocking it out with his powerful {{m|Seismic Toss}}, earning Ash the {{badge|Volcano}}.<br />
<br />
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 stomped the ground, causing the little Pikachu to be thrown into the air, and flapped his wings against it, blowing it far back. Deeming it an unworthy opponent, Charizard went to sleep, refusing to battle. Due to this, Charizard was disqualified and Ash lost the round, eliminating him from the tournament.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
======Orange Islands======<br />
Ash took Charizard with him to the [[Orange Islands]] despite his refusal to obey him. Ash had noticeably stopped trying to use him in battles, although in ''[[EP093|Navel Maneuvers]]'', Charizard, Pikachu, and Bulbasaur were used in the second round of the [[Navel Gym]] match between Ash and [[Danny]]. Charizard was initially unwilling to participate, and Danny nearly won. However, Charizard inadvertently helped when he tried to use Flamethrower on Ash but missed and carved an ice pillar into a sled. This meant Ash won the round and was able to continue the match.<br />
<br />
In ''[[EP098|A Way Off Day Off]]'', although he did not obey Ash, Charizard recognized the wisdom and formidable experience that [[Tracey's Scyther]] had, and the two teamed up to defeat Team Rocket. Scyther was the only Pokémon in the group whom Charizard respected.<br />
<br />
Charizard continued to ignore Ash during battles, such as in ''[[EP099|The Mandarin Island Miss Match]]''. Charizard took down a boy's {{p|Tauros}} with a single attack before flying away and rampaging the city. Ash was unable to recall him, and only the intervention of [[Lorelei|Prima]] and her {{p|Slowbro}} using {{m|Disable}} allowed Ash to stop Charizard.<br />
[[File:Ash Charizard frozen.png|thumb|left|250px|Being taken care of by Ash]]<br />
In ''[[EP105|Charizard Chills]]'', Charizard battled [[Tad]]'s {{p|Poliwrath}}. He blatantly refused to listen to Ash's commands, continuing to use Flamethrower despite having no effect on Poliwrath. Tad and Poliwrath resisted them until Poliwrath responded with a {{m|Water Gun}} that nearly doused the flame on Charizard's tail. He was then {{status|Freeze|frozen}} over by Poliwrath's {{m|Ice Beam}}, much to Ash's horror. Ash managed to smash the ice encasing Charizard's head, and Tad walked away scornfully, telling Ash that they would have a rematch when he could control Charizard. Ash lit a fire and thawed Charizard out before rubbing Charizard all over to help him regain his body heat. Pikachu pointed out that Ash's hands were rubbed raw, but Ash replied that he didn't mind and redoubled his efforts upon seeing that Charizard's tail flame was so small. Charizard woke up in a panic and tried to attack, but he was so cold that he could not produce a flame and passed out again. Misty provided a blanket, and Tracey kept the fires up while Pikachu watched the flame, but Ash worked throughout the night to help Charizard recover.<br />
<br />
The selfless act reminded Charizard of everything Ash had done for him since he was a Charmander. By morning, Charizard's respect and loyalty to Ash had returned, and he helped Ash rescue Pikachu from Team Rocket. Ash and Pikachu were briefly knocked out during the rescue, and Charizard became so incensed he learned Dragon Rage. In a rematch with Tad and Poliwrath, Charizard learned to dodge Ice Beam and knocked Poliwrath into the air before defeating it with Seismic Toss. <br />
<br />
During the events of ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'', Charizard aided Ash alongside Pikachu and Squirtle in freeing {{DL|Legendary birds (M02)|Moltres}} from [[Lawrence III]]'s clutches and also proceeded to encourage Ash with his task as the Chosen One alongside the rest of his Pokémon. He later aided Ash alongside Squirtle by pulling a discarded metal part. He also countered Moltres's flame blasts alongside Squirtle and Pikachu when the titans tried to attack them. However, he was ultimately forced to return to his Poké Ball after the titans simultaneously created a rift and a wall of ice barring Ash from continuing onward to [[Ice Island]].<br />
<br />
He participated in Ash's [[Kumquat Gym]] battle against [[Luana]] in ''[[EP108|Pokémon Double Trouble]]''. He fought Luana's {{p|Alakazam}} and {{p|Marowak}} alongside Pikachu in the series' first official [[Double Battle]]. The two Pokémon initially had trouble collaborating but eventually managed to work together: Pikachu helped to free Charizard from Alakazam's {{m|Psychic}}, and Charizard caught Pikachu after he was hit by Marowak's {{m|Body Slam}}. Charizard's skillful flying caused Marowak and Alakazam to knock each other out, earning Ash the {{badge|Jade Star}}.<br />
<br />
Charizard was also used in Ash's [[Orange League]] battle against {{OBP|Drake|Orange League}} in ''[[EP112|Enter the Dragonite]]''. Charizard defeated Drake's {{p|Electabuzz}} by blocking its electricity with Fire Spin and knocking it out with Seismic Toss. He also fought {{TP|Drake|Dragonite}}, but was hit by a powerful {{m|Water Gun}} and then {{m|Slam}}med into the ground. After a clash of Dragon Rages, Charizard fainted, but his attacks had begun to wear Dragonite down, paving the way for Pikachu to finish it off and give Ash the victory. Charizard was inducted into the [[Palace of Victory|Orange League Hall of Fame]] with Ash's other Pokémon.<br />
<br />
====={{aniseries|GS}}=====<br />
[[File:ValleyShipping.png|thumb|220px|With Charla]]<br />
Charizard also accompanied Ash on his journey to the [[Johto]] region, although it became apparent that he was unfairly superior to most of Ash's early competition. This was shown especially in ''[[EP118|The Double Trouble Header]]'', where Charizard easily defeated all three of {{an|Casey}}'s Pokémon, despite the disapproval of Misty and Brock. Team Rocket later capitalized on Casey's frustration, calling Charizard an illegal choice by Ash.<br />
<br />
Charizard was used to weaken and help Ash capture a {{AP|Chikorita}} in ''[[EP126|The Chikorita Rescue]]''. His massive size compared to her came into effect when Chikorita ran towards him and tried to attack; Charizard responded by placing his foot out and blowing a small puff of fire after being instructed by Ash to only weaken her. Charizard's puff of fire ended up on Chikorita's leaf and caused her to run around for a short amount of time before using {{m|Vine Whip}} to attack Charizard. Ash recalled Charizard after he and Chikorita fell into a large canvas of rocks.<br />
<br />
In ''[[EP131|Fighting Flyer with Fire]]'', he participated in Ash's first Johto Gym battle against [[Falkner]] at the [[Violet Gym]], where he battled Falkner's {{p|Pidgeot}}. Due to the latter's impressive {{stat|Speed}}, Charizard started at a disadvantage, with Pidgeot's {{m|Whirlwind}} reflecting his Flamethrower onto him. He was then knocked back down by a combination of {{m|Wing Attack}} and {{m|Quick Attack}}. Falkner told Ash to surrender, but Ash refused, and Charizard gained the strength to fight back and fly above Quick Attack. Charizard then baited Pidgeot, spinning around in midair when Pidgeot flew behind him and hitting it with Fire Spin before seizing it and hurling it into the ground with Seismic Toss. Pidgeot was knocked out, and Ash won the {{badge|Zephyr}}.<br />
[[File:Ash leaving Charizard.png|thumb|left|220px|Ash parting ways with Charizard]]<br />
In ''[[EP134|Charizard's Burning Ambitions]]'', Misty criticized Ash for using Charizard too often against fresh young Trainers, making him unbeatable but in an unfair way. Ash then met {{Jo|Liza}}, who taught Ash and Charizard how to fly together. After arriving in the [[Charicific Valley]], Charizard was humiliated by Liza's insults and proudly tried to show off his power. However, he was shown to be smaller and weaker than the wild Charizard who lived there. Charizard continued to pick fights and kept getting himself beaten until Liza locked them out of the Valley, having [[Charla]] throw Charizard into the lake and telling him and Ash to stay away until they had trained and reflected. Team Rocket sympathized with Charizard and helped him to stay awake in the lake, as well as making a false attempt to break into the Valley, allowing Charizard to defeat them and win acclaim from Liza, Charla, and the wild Charizard. Facing an emotional battle, Ash told Charizard that he did not want a weakling on his team and he would be fine without him, forcing Charizard to stay at the Valley to train and become more powerful. He then ran away from the Valley, knowing that if he stopped, he would not be able to say goodbye. Pikachu wished Charizard well and followed Ash, leaving his teammate and friend behind.<br />
<br />
In ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown: Entei]]'', Charizard saw news footage of {{OBP|Entei|M03}} abducting [[Delia Ketchum]] and Ash futilely pursuing them, so Charizard decided to leave the Charicific Valley briefly and flew to [[Greenfield]] in an attempt to help. Later that night, Charizard arrived just in time to catch Ash and Pikachu when Entei knocked them out of a tower. Charizard then battled Entei with Ash riding on its back, but though it was briefly able to send Entei flying with Fire Spin, [[Molly Hale]]'s reality-warping powers granted by the {{OBP|Unown|M03}} tipped the scales too much in Entei's favor, like when crystal spikes would emerge to impede Charizard's flight. Entei eventually pinned Charizard and prepared to hit it with a point-blank Fire Blast, but Molly came to her senses and convinced Entei to stop. Charizard, Pikachu, and Entei worked together to defeat the Unown when their powers went berserk and threatened to destroy everything, but this came at the cost of Entei's existence. With the crisis over, Charizard returned to the Charicific Valley.<br />
<br />
During his time in the Charicific Valley, Charizard took the role of Charla's bodyguard, and the two seem to have a sort of romantic relationship with each other. Liza occasionally visited the [[Dragon Holy Land]] in [[Blackthorn City]] with the two Charizard. One such visit was in ''[[EP253|Great Bowls of Fire!]]'', which coincidentally occurred when Ash was there for his final [[Johto]] Gym battle. Charizard helped Ash, [[Clair]], Pikachu, and {{TP|Clair|Dragonair}} calm the wild {{p|Dragonite}} that was rampaging in the Dragon Holy Land.<br />
<br />
In ''[[EP254|Better Eight Than Never]]'', Charizard battled against Clair's Dragonair in Ash's [[Blackthorn Gym]] rematch. He caused the water in the Gym's pool to evaporate with his Flamethrower and Fire Spin, thus depriving Dragonair of its protection. He then caught Dragonair with Seismic Toss and used Fire Spin to create a flaming twister to wear down Dragonair's defenses before it hit the ground and was knocked out, winning Ash the match and earning him the {{badge|Rising}}. Ash surprised Liza by sending him back for training afterwards, knowing that Charizard still had a lot to learn.<br />
[[File:Ash Charizard Gary Blastoise.png|thumb|250px|Charizard defeating Gary's Blastoise]]<br />
Ash later used Charizard in the [[Silver Conference]] during his fight against {{Gary}} in ''[[EP270|Can't Beat the Heat!]]'', as Brock had made a late-night call to Liza requesting Charizard for the battle. [[Gary's Blastoise]] and {{p|Scizor}} cut Ash's team down to only Charizard, who had to fight three opponents single-handedly. He managed to match Scizor's speed and took advantage of his significant type advantage, defeating Scizor with a single Flamethrower. Despite {{p|Golem}}'s weight preventing Charizard from using his Seismic Toss, Charizard overcame it with a powerful Dragon Rage attack. Charizard struggled against Gary's Blastoise, as it had supreme defensive capabilities and could keep Charizard at bay with Hydro Pump. Thinking outside the box, Ash told Charizard to superheat the field, which forced Blastoise to spend time cooling the molten rock. This created a huge steam cloud and allowed Charizard to seize Blastoise at close range. Blastoise could still use {{m|Withdraw}} to dodge Dragon Rage, so Charizard hurled Blastoise into the ground with Seismic Toss, defeating it and leaving Ash as the winner.<br />
<br />
Charizard was next used in Ash's fight against {{jo|Harrison}} in ''[[EP271|Playing with Fire!]]'', where he went up against [[Harrison's Blaziken]]. Blaziken's powerful legs and ability to maneuver in midair negated Charizard's aerial advantage. Each Pokémon hit hard blows on the other, and their Flamethrowers were shown to be equal in power. Blaziken even managed to get up after a devastating Seismic Toss, while Charizard took a {{m|Blaze Kick}} to the neck and continued on. A final clash between Flamethrower and Dragon Rage knocked both Pokémon down, but only Blaziken could get up, eliminating Ash from the tournament. Charizard once again returned to Charicific Valley. Later, it was revealed that he had injured Blaziken so badly that Harrison had to rest his primary battler in the next round, contributing to his later loss against [[Jon Dickson]].<br />
<br />
====={{aniseries|AG}}=====<br />
Charizard appeared in a flashback to Ash's battle against Harrison in ''[[AG003|There's no Place Like Hoenn]]''.<br />
[[File:AG136.png|thumb|left|220px|Charizard vs Articuno]]<br />
In ''[[AG136|The Symbol Life]]'', he returned for Ash's first {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} battle, where he took on [[Noland's Articuno]] at the {{gdis|Battle Factory|III}}. Ash and Charizard flew together, where Charizard demonstrated a far improved Flamethrower and that he had learned {{m|Dragon Breath}}. In battle, he showed he was a match even for the Legendary Pokémon, using Flamethrower to burn through {{m|Ice Beam}} and strike Articuno. However, Articuno did not take much damage from Flamethrower or Dragon Breath, blinding Charizard with {{m|Mist}} and then knocking him to the ground with {{m|Steel Wing}}. Articuno then inflicted serious damage with {{m|Water Pulse}} and froze Charizard's wing tip, crippling his movements. Finally, Charizard used Overheat, which he had just learned, to melt the ice. He then caught Articuno as it tried to use Steel Wing and struck with a Seismic Toss. Charizard collapsed but managed to get up just as Articuno passed out, giving Ash and Charizard the victory and earning Ash the [[Symbol|Knowledge Symbol]].<br />
<br />
Charizard also battled alongside Pikachu, Bulbasaur, and Squirtle in a four-on-four battle against {{an|Brandon}} at the [[Battle Pyramid]] in ''[[AG189|Gathering the Gang of Four!]]'', where he went up against {{p|Dusclops}}. Charizard had been training since his battle with Articuno and learned Steel Wing, but was put at a disadvantage when Dusclops used {{m|Confuse Ray}} and {{m|Mean Look}}, [[Escape prevention|forcing Charizard to keep battling]] in his baffled state, all the while taking damage from {{m|Will-O-Wisp}}. Finally, Charizard snapped out of his confusion and attacked with Dragon Breath, wearing both Pokémon down. However, an attempt to use Seismic Toss to finish the match cost Ash dearly, as the {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon simply dissipated and re-emerged safely at a distance, where a {{m|Shadow Punch}} took Charizard out and put Ash at a supreme disadvantage. However, Pikachu, Bulbasaur, and Squirtle managed to win the battle and the [[Symbol|Brave Symbol]]. After the match against Brandon, Charizard returned to Charicific Valley.<br />
<br />
====={{aniseries|BW}}=====<br />
======Unova======<br />
In ''[[BW116|The Fires of a Red-Hot Reunion!]]'', Ash and {{ashfr}} attended a [[Kanto Fair]], where one of the presentations featured the local [[first partner Pokémon]], involving a live-action show with a Charmander. This made Ash remember his own Charmander, prompting him to tell {{an|Iris}}, {{an|Cilan}}, and {{an|N}} about his Charizard. Filled with a desire to see his old friend again, Ash called {{an|Professor Oak}}, who, in exchange for [[Ash's Unfezant]], arranged to have Charizard sent over to him. While being introduced to everyone, Charizard immediately started a fiery rivalry with [[Iris's Dragonite]], which encouraged Ash and Iris to have a battle with their two stubborn Pokémon. During the battle, Charizard was shown to have learned Wing Attack, Slash, and Dragon Tail. He quickly gained the upper hand as not even Dragonite's Dragon Rush was able to hurt him, while Dragonite was taking serious damage from Charizard's Dragon Tail. Before it could be settled, the battle was called off by N. Ash then corrected Iris's misconception that Charizard was a {{t|Dragon}} type, upsetting her since she'd wanted to train one as well, and invited Charizard to rejoin his active team, which he happily agreed to.<br />
<br />
In ''[[BW117|Team Plasma's Pokémon Manipulation!]]'', Charizard was called out by Ash to once again fight Iris's Dragonite, who was this time being controlled by [[Colress]].<br />
[[File:Ash Charizard and Pignite.png|thumb|250px|Charizard and {{AP|Pignite}}]]<br />
In ''[[BW119|Meowth, Colress and Team Rivalry!]]'', Charizard was called out to help [[Ash's Pignite]], who had difficulty breathing through his nostrils because something was blocking it. Charizard lifted him up and tossed him to help, but it did not work. Eventually, the blockage was removed, much to everyone's delight.<br />
<br />
Later, in ''[[BW121|Team Plasma and the Awakening Ceremony!]]'', Charizard was sent out alongside the rest of Ash's team to help Ash and N dig up to the surface of the {{an|White Ruins}} after they had fallen into a pit. Charizard cleverly improvised a spinning Dragon Tail to help {{AP|Krookodile}} {{m|dig}} through the earth that {{AP|Oshawott}} had softened with {{m|Hydro Pump}}. While battling Team Plasma again, Charizard withstood many of Team Plasma's attacks before Pignite came to his aid. The two then launched an incredibly powerful double Flamethrower at Team Plasma's Pokémon. However, when Colress turned his mind control machine on them, Charizard was quickly recalled to his Poké Ball, along with Ash's other Pokémon.<br />
<br />
======Decolore Islands======<br />
[[File:Ash and Charizard.png|thumb|left|250px|Charizard and Ash]]<br />
In ''[[BW135|Mystery on a Deserted Island!]]'', Ash used Charizard to battle a wild {{p|Ninetales}} on [[Frond Island]].<br />
<br />
In ''[[BW136|A Pokémon of a Different Color!]],'' Charizard and Iris's Dragonite set off to search for Clair's Dragonite, who had been separated from Clair on an [[Cave Island|island]] in the [[Decolore Islands|Decolore Archipelago]]. After Iris's Dragonite found Clair's, Charizard brought the group to them, only to find the pair squabbling. Although Charizard attempted to stop the fighting, the two Dragonite knocked him away. Later on, Charizard continued to act as a peacemaker unsuccessfully; Ash eventually thanked him for trying and returned Charizard to his Poké Ball.<br />
<br />
In ''[[BW141|Best Wishes Until We Meet Again!]]'', Charizard, along with all of Ash's Pokémon, was stolen by Team Rocket. Later, after recovering all of their Pokémon, Ash used Charizard to attack [[Jessie's Frillish]], who was using {{m|Bubble Beam}} on Ash and company. Charizard easily defeated Frillish with Wing Attack and scorched [[James's Amoonguss]] with a supereffective Flamethrower. Charizard, alongside Pikachu, {{TP|Iris|Axew}}, and {{TP|Cilan|Pansage}}, subsequently sent Team Rocket blasting off.<br />
<br />
Charizard was reunited with all of Ash's Unova Pokémon at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] in ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]''. He joined the others in a group attack on Team Rocket with his Flamethrower to send them blasting off for the last time in ''Pokémon the Series: Black & White''. Charizard was left at the lab before Ash set off for the [[Kalos]] region. He later posed with the rest of Ash's Pokémon in a group photo with him.<br />
<br />
====={{aniseries|SM}}=====<br />
Charizard reappeared in a flashback in ''[[SM042|Alola, Kanto!]]''.<br />
<br />
====={{aniseries|JN}}=====<br />
[[File:Ash Kanto Pokémon JN132.png|thumb|250px|Charizard encouraging Pikachu in a vision]]<br />
In ''[[JN068|Advice to Goh!]]'', Charizard reunited with Ash during his visit to Professor Oak's Laboratory with [[Goh]]. Sometime before, Charizard had battled against [[Ash's Infernape]] before he had left the lab to battle {{p|Moltres}}.<br />
<br />
Charizard, along with the rest of Ash's Pokémon at the lab, reunited with Ash in ''[[JN114|Friends, Rivals, Lend Me Your Spirit!]]''. During the visit, he helped train [[Ash's Gengar]] to learn {{m|Will-O-Wisp}}, and later watched the battle between Ash and [[Paul]]. Before Ash left, he posed with the rest of Ash's Pokémon in a group photo with him.<br />
<br />
From ''[[JN118|Battling as Hard as Stone!]]'' onwards, Charizard watched Ash's [[Masters Eight Tournament]] matches against {{an|Steven Stone|Steven}}, {{an|Cynthia}}, and {{an|Leon}}. In ''[[JN132|Partners in Time!]]'', Charizard appeared as a vision to Pikachu during his battle against [[Leon's Charizard]]. After Ash won the battle, Charizard joined the rest of Ash's Pokémon at the lab in celebrating their Trainer's victory.<br />
[[File:Ash Bulbasaur Charizard Squirtle.png|thumb|left|250px|Charizard, Bulbasaur, and Squirtle]]<br />
In ''[[JN135|Heroes Unite!]]'', Charizard, along with the rest of the Pokémon at the lab, welcomed Ash back to Pallet Town after his victory over Leon.<br />
<br />
In ''[[JN141|A Squad's Worth of Passion!]]'', Ash and his friends discovered Squirtle had become a performer, and Charizard and Bulbasaur were sent out to enjoy the show. They tried to meet up with Squirtle directly after the performance but were misled by Team Rocket and left. They were later able to meet up with Squirtle at their hotel, but Squirtle, upset over the idea that its friends no longer cared for it, attacked them. Charizard didn't hesitate to fight back, with Bulbasaur trying and failing to stop it. Ash broke it up, and Charizard and Bulbasaur left feeling upset. Later, a fire broke out at a warehouse, and the group found the [[Squirtle Squad]] giving their all to stop it. Deciding their feud wasn't worth it, Charizard and Bulbasaur joined the Tiny Turtle Pokémon in putting it out and rescuing the Pokémon trapped by the flames. Afterward, [[Officer Jenny]] arrived to take the Squirtle Squad to their next assignment, but not before sharing a heartfelt goodbye with the group.<br />
<br />
In ''[[JN147|The Rainbow and the Pokémon Master!]]'', Charizard assisted Ash in looking for a missing Charmander around Oak's lab, but to no avail.<br />
{{-}}<br />
<br />
====Personality and characteristics====<br />
{{bulbanews|Personality & Development: Ash's Charizard}}<br />
The emotional turmoil of being abandoned by [[Damian]] defined Charizard when he was a Charmander. Despite the scorn he received from Damian, he loyally waited outside for his return, convinced that he had a good relationship when, in fact, none had existed. Only a violent confrontation revealed the unhealthy nature of his relationship with Damian. Charmander struggled with this abandonment-in ''[[EP017|Island of the Giant Pokémon]]'', he became discouraged when {{AP|Bulbasaur}} suggested that Ash had abandoned them all. Charmander was markedly shy and shown to be anxious, though his confidence quickly grew under Ash's guidance.<br />
<br />
[[File:Ash Charizard disobedience.png|thumb|left|250px|Charizard refusing to battle against [[Sparky]]]]<br />
Despite being one of Ash's most often used Pokémon, Charmander's [[Evolution]] saw Charmeleon grow distant from Ash, scorning all of his former friends and seeking power alone. Charmeleon had become like Damian, obsessed with power and reputation while ignoring the value of friendship, loyalty, and kindness. Charmeleon's battle with {{p|Aerodactyl}} in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]'' was purely based on a bruised ego, and Charizard's later battles with {{TP|Blaine|Magmar}} and [[Zippo]] were solely out of grudging respect for their battling ability, and in the case of the post-league celebration, the destruction of the food. Charizard's unhealthy disobedience even cost Ash the Indigo League when he refused to battle any Pokémon he didn't think was worthy. Nevertheless, he did retain some degree of loyalty to his master and his fellow Pokémon, as the aforementioned incident with Aerodactyl had Charizard barely swooping in to save Ash before completely falling asleep while being affected by Jigglypuff's singing and also saving Pikachu after Team Rocket blasted off before resuming his rampage, with ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'' even having Charizard crying for Ash when he ended up petrified.<br />
<br />
[[File:Ash Charizard Iris Dragonite.png|thumb|250px|Charizard's rivalry with Iris's Dragonite]]<br />
Once Ash made the selfless act to save Charizard from freezing in ''[[EP105|Charizard Chills]]'', Charizard finally shook off the poisonous personality traits left by Damian and regained full loyalty to Ash. His ability to work as part of a team was still hampered, but when working together with {{AP|Pikachu}} to defeat [[Luana]], he finally managed to overcome that difficulty. Since this point, Charizard has been willing to assist Ash in any battle, ranging from [[Casey's Chikorita]] to [[Falkner]]'s Pidgeot with no complaint. However, Charizard maintained the rebellious Flamethrower attacks as a sign of affection for Ash, and while Charizard was loyal, his love of power and reputation remained. This was shown significantly in his departure in ''[[EP134|Charizard's Burning Ambitions]]'', where he brashly challenged each of the wild Charizard at [[Charicific Valley]] even though he was defeated every time.<br />
<br />
Despite retaining his fiery nature and fierce battling spirit, Charizard's return to Ash's regular command in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]'' showed that he had significantly matured throughout {{jo|Liza}}'s training regime. This was displayed in ''[[BW136|A Pokémon of a Different Color!]]'', where he attempted to act as a peacemaker between [[Clair]] and {{an|Iris}}'s two squabbling {{p|Dragonite}}. During his time at Professor Oak's lab, Charizard became very good friends with Ash's Fire types and is usually seen hanging out with them, as shown in ''[[JN068|Advice to Goh!]]'' and ''[[JN114|Friends, Rivals, Lend Me Your Spirit!]]''. Charizard also befriended {{AP|Gengar}} when it visited the lab.<br />

===''I Choose You!''===<br />
[[File:Ash Charizard M20.png|thumb|250px|Ash's Charizard in ''I Choose You!'']]<br />
Charizard appeared in ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'', which is set in [[I Choose You! trilogy|a different continuity]] from {{aniseries|PTS}}. In this continuity, it was the second Pokémon {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|M20|Ash}} caught on his journey.<br />
[[File:Cross and Charmander.png|left|thumb|250px|As a Charmander with Cross]]<br />
As a {{p|Charmander}}, it originally belonged to a Pokémon Trainer named [[Cross]]. Cross deemed Charmander too weak however, and abandoned it and told it to stop following him. Charmander was eventually found in the rain by Ash and [[Verity]]. After arguing briefly with Cross over his decision to abandon Charmander, they took it and went inside a cave to seek shelter from the rain. There, they found [[Sorrel]], who brought Charmander back to good health.<br />
<br />
The following day, Charmander had fully recovered and Ash offered it to join his team. Charmander accepted, despite still feeling loyalty towards Cross. Charmander joined Ash, Verity, and Sorrel on their journey towards the [[Mount Tensei|Raizen Mountains]] to meet {{an|Ho-Oh}}. After a battle against a {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s {{p|Jigglypuff}}, Charmander evolved into Charmeleon. Soon after, Ash encountered Cross again and started a battle with him. Ash used Charmeleon against its former Trainer and his {{p|Incineroar}}. Charmeleon proved to be no match for Incineroar however and was defeated. Ash started to question himself and faulted the loss on Charmeleon, but later apologized when he realized his errors.<br />
<br />
Finally reaching the Raizen Mountains, Ash tried to place his [[Rainbow Wing]] atop Rainbow Rock. He was stopped by Cross however, who wanted to take the Rainbow Wing for himself. Ash battled Cross again, once again using his Charmeleon against Cross and his Incineroar. In the midst of a fierce battle, Charmeleon evolved into Charizard, and this time, it managed to defeat it. Distraught of losing against his former Pokémon, Cross started to realize the error in his ways.<br />
<br />
====Personality and characteristics====<br />
[[File:Ash and Charizard M20.png|250px|thumb|Charizard and Ash]]<br />
Unlike his animated series counterpart, Charizard has always been obedient to Ash, as well as retaining loyalty to his former Trainer Cross so that even after being assaulted by him, Charmander wanted to return to travel alongside him.<br />
<br />
Charizard over time ended up becoming a powerhouse on Ash's team, being able to beat Cross's {{p|Incineroar}} and thus show all his power to his former Trainer.<br />

==In the manga==<br />
===Ash & Pikachu===<br />
[[File:Ash Charizard AP.png|thumb|200px|Charizard in [[Ash & Pikachu]]]]<br />
Ash's Charizard appeared in ''[[SP33|Off To The Battle Frontier!!]]''. It was excited to see Ash when he called it over as it was sent for training earlier. After arrival, Ash sent it out to battle [[Noland's Articuno]]. During the battle, it struggled to keep up with Articuno despite the type advantage due to the fact that Articuno's speed was quicker than Charizard's in terms of reflexes. However, Charizard focused in on where Articuno was going to strike next and defeated it, earning Ash the Knowledge Symbol.<br />

===The Electric Tale of Pikachu===<br />
[[File:Ash Charizard EToP.png|thumb|230px|left|Charizard in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]]]<br />
{{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]].<br />
<br />
Despite this difference, Ash is still seen owning a Charmander, which first appeared in ''[[ET08|You Gotta Have Friends]]''. Charmander's capture was not shown in the manga, instead, it was explained that "Ash has been busy since the last comic!" when Charmander first appeared from its {{i|Poké Ball}}. Charmander was first seen when a lonely Ash decided to play with his other Pokémon while {{AP|Pikachu|Pikachu (EToP)}} was off playing with a group of Pikachu. Charmander simply set Ash on fire while his {{p|Oddish}} {{status|paralysis|paralyzed}} him with {{m|Stun Spore}}.<br />
<br />
In ''[[ET12|Welcome to the Big Leagues]]'', at the 88th [[Indigo Plateau Conference|Pokémon League]], Ash presented his Charmander, now fully evolved into a Charizard, to {{an|Brock}} and {{an|Misty}}. Despite the fact that Ash wanted to use Charizard as a secret weapon, Charizard refused to listen to him unless he held a special flare that burned with the fire of a {{p|Moltres}}. Due to the fact that the flare burns out quickly and Ash could lose points for using a prop, he decided to not use it and rely on his other Pokémon instead.<br />
<br />
[[File:Ash Charizard violent.png|thumb|230px|Charizard violently attacking Ritchie's Charley]]<br />
In ''[[ET13|The Indigo Finals]]'', during the fifth round of the Pokémon League, Ash sent out Charizard as his third and last Pokémon in his match against [[Ritchie]]. Ritchie countered with his own Charizard, named [[Zippo|Charley]]. Though evenly matched at first, Charizard went into a violent frenzy and mercilessly started scratching, biting, and burning Charley. Ash attempted to stop this mauling with his flare, but Charizard ignored it and continued to attack Charley, heavily injuring it and splattering its blood everywhere. Refusing to keep the fight going on this way, Ash made the choice to [[recall]] Charizard. Since Charizard had left the battle and Charley was still standing despite its injuries, Ritchie was declared the winner, ending Ash's run in the Pokémon League.<br />
<br />
Charizard appeared again in ''[[ET16|You Bet Your Wife]]'', where Ash decided to use it in a dance competition in his Gym battle against [[Rudy]]. After flying around in circles, Charizard set Ash aflame as it did in its first appearance.<br />
<br />
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.<br />

====''I Choose You!''====<br />
[[File:Ash Charizard M20 manga.png|thumb|200px|Charizard in ''{{ma|I Choose You!}}'']]<br />
Charizard appeared in {{ma|I Choose You!}}. It was first shown as a Charmander where [[Cross]] got it from {{an|Professor Oak}}. Later, Cross was revealed to have abandoned Charmander when {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|M20|Ash}} encountered it out in the rain. After Ash and [[Verity]] took Charmander in a cave to recover, [[Sorrel]] helped it back to good health.<br />
<br />
The next day, Ash offered Charmander to join his team and Charmander accepted. It then battled a {{p|Jigglypuff}} and defeated it, which resulted in it evolving into a Charmeleon. Charmeleon battled Cross's {{p|Incineroar}}. During the battle, it kept on damaging Incineroar, something that Cross allowed. However, it turned out to be part of Cross's plan as Incineroar's strength increased by every attack Charmeleon threw at it. Because of that, Incineroar was able to defeat Charmeleon with {{m|Cross Chop}}.<br />
<br />
After Ash and {{ashfr}} reached the [[Mount Tensei|Raizen Mountains]] and encountered Cross again, Charmeleon was used in the rematch against Cross's Incineroar. During the battle, Charmeleon evolved into Charizard and defeated Incineroar. When {{OBP|Marshadow|M20}} became corrupted by the evil tainting it because of Cross placing the Rainbow Wing on top of the rock instead of Ash, Charizard protected Cross from an attack coming from {{p|Lycanroc}} when Marshadow possessed it and took part in the battle against the other Pokémon possessed by Marshadow. After Ash disappeared from existence because of a combined attack coming from Marshadow's army, Charizard and the others were saddened to see that happen. Charizard became happy when Ash was revived.<br />

Charizard, as a Charmander, belonged to a Trainer named [[Cross]]. Cross released Charmander as he deemed it weak and then Ash eventually caught Charmander. Later, Charmander evolved into a Charmeleon.<br />
<br />
In [[ICYR3]], Charmeleon was sent out to take on three {{p|Nidoking}} at [[Mount Tensei]]. Charmeleon's {{m|Flamethrower}} caused the Nidoking to go running. Later, it was used to battle Cross's Incineroar. During the battle, Cross's Incineroar got the upper hand but Charmeleon evolved into Charizard when it was about to lose. Using its newfound power, Charizard defeated Incineroar with Seismic Toss. Charizard then faced off against Cross's Lycanroc but the outcome was unknown.<br />

'''Ash's Charizard''' (Japanese: '''サトシのリザードン''' ''Satoshi's Lizardon'') was the fourth {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that {{Ash}} {{pkmn2|caught}} in the [[Kanto]] [[region]], and his fifth overall.<br />

;With Damian<br />
[[File:Damian Charmander.png|thumb|left|220px|Charmander and Damian]]<br />
Charizard originally belonged to a boastful {{pkmn|Trainer}} named [[Damian]] when it was a Charmander. However, in ''[[EP011|Charmander - The Stray Pokémon]]'', Damian grew tired of Charmander being weak, and so he abandoned him, leaving him on a rocky outcrop and telling him that he would come back later. Charmander's health deteriorated, but he was able to resist capture by {{Ash}} twice before explaining to {{AP|Pikachu}} that he was waiting for Damian. Later, Ash met Damian and learned he never planned to return for Charmander. Outraged but mostly concerned for Charmander, who was now stuck out in the rain loyally awaiting Damian, {{an|Brock}}, Ash, and {{an|Misty}} rushed to his rescue, with Brock carrying him to the [[Pokémon Center]] while Ash sheltered the little remaining tail flame with his coat.<br />
[[File:Ash Charmander waiting for Damian.png|thumb|250px|Charmander waiting in the rain for Damian]]<br />
Despite the care shown to him, Charmander was unwilling to remain at the Pokémon Center and returned to the rock where he had been staying. However, he came across {{TRT}}, who had stolen Pikachu. Charmander ordered them to return Pikachu, and when they ignored him, he blasted them with a Flamethrower to send them running away, leaving behind Pikachu. Ash invited Charmander to join them, but Damian turned up with many {{i|Poké Ball}}s and said that he had intentionally abandoned Charmander to toughen him up. Damian threw a Poké Ball at him, but Charmander deflected the Ball in defiance. Having seen Damian's character, Charmander staunchly refused to return, and when Damian threatened to crush him with all of his other Pokémon, he attacked Damian with a Flamethrower attack alongside Pikachu, who used {{m|Thunder Shock}}. Damian fled, and Charmander happily joined Ash's team instead.<br />
<br />
;With Ash<br />
Charmander immediately became one of Ash's main Pokémon, being used in the [[EP012|very next episode]] as a torch to help Ash through the caves. He also joined a group of other Charmander on the [[S.S. Anne|St. Anne]] in ''[[EP015|Battle Aboard the St. Anne]]'' to repel {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s. [[EP016|Later]], Charmander used Flamethrower to torch a hole in the capsized St. Anne's hull, allowing the group and Team Rocket to escape the ship.<br />
<br />
Charmander was separated from Ash in ''[[EP017|Island of the Giant Pokémon]]''—along with Pikachu, {{AP|Bulbasaur}}, and {{AP|Squirtle}}—after a group of {{p|Gyarados}} sent them flying with {{m|Dragon Rage}}. During the separation, Charmander tried to remain optimistic about their Trainer's whereabouts, despite Bulbasaur's belief that they were abandoned and Squirtle's jokes that he'd been eaten. When Ash's Pokémon came across Team Rocket's Pokémon, who were also separated from their Trainers, the two groups of Pokémon joined forces to look for them. The next day, the group came across a group of giant Pokémon and ended up being chased by them straight to Ash, his friends, and Team Rocket, allowing them to reunite.<br />
<br />
In ''[[EP023|The Tower of Terror]]'', Charmander lit the way through [[Pokémon Tower]] during Ash's search for a {{t|Ghost}}-type Pokémon to challenge the [[Saffron City]] Gym Leader [[Sabrina]]. Although frightened, Charmander tried to be brave for his Trainer. He attempted to use {{m|Leer}} against a {{TP|Sabrina|Haunter}}, but the wild Pokémon laughed off the attempt and attacked Charmander with {{m|Lick}}, forcing Ash to recall him. The Haunter took a liking to Ash and agreed to help him challenge Sabrina in [[EP024|the following episode]], but disappeared when it came time to battle. Ash attempted to send Charmander out to fight, but it refused to step into the ring with Sabrina's {{TP|Sabrina|Kadabra}}.<br />
<br />
In ''[[EP025|Primeape Goes Bananas]]'', Charmander battled a berserk {{AP|Primeape}}. He finally subdued his opponent using {{m|Rage}} and Flamethrower. Charmander made his Gym Battle debut in [[EP026|the next episode]], where he defeated [[Erika]]'s {{p|Weepinbell}} after burning {{m|Razor Leaf}} and then striking a powerful Skull Bash. However, in the next round, the pure stench emitting from her {{p|Gloom}} caused Charmander to choke and faint. Ash called on Charmander's assistance against [[Koga]] in ''[[EP032|The Ninja Poké-Showdown]]''. He went up against Koga's {{p|Venomoth}} briefly before their match was interrupted by Team Rocket. For the official Gym battle, Charmander went up against [[Koga's Golbat]] and defeated it with Ember and Fire Spin, earning Ash the {{Badge|Soul}}.<br />
[[File:Ash Charmeleon disobedience.png|thumb|left|250px|Charmeleon attacking Ash]]<br />
The rise in Charmander's battle [[experience]] reached its peak in ''[[EP043|The March of the Exeggutor Squad]]'', where he helped stop a large number of rampaging {{p|Exeggutor}}. Subsequently, Charmander [[Evolution|evolved]] into {{p|Charmeleon}}. However, in ''[[EP044|The Problem with Paras]]'', it was revealed that Charmeleon was no longer [[obedience|obedient]] to Ash, attacking a {{p|Paras}} when Ash was deliberately trying to lose to help Paras evolve. [[Lacy (EP044)|Cassandra's grandmother]] explained that Charmeleon's skill level had exceeded Ash's, and therefore he did not respect him. Ironically, a rampaging Charmeleon was stopped when Paras, desperately trying to avoid punishment, jabbed at him with a claw. After evolving into {{p|Parasect}}, it put Charmeleon to sleep with {{m|Spore}} and allowed Ash to [[recall]] him. Cassandra's grandmother warned Ash that he needed to learn to control Charmeleon.<br />
<br />
Ash stopped using his disobedient Charmeleon but tried again in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]'' to repel wild [[Fossil|Fossil Pokémon]], which he refused to do. When an {{p|Aerodactyl}} swooped past, knocking Charmeleon over, Charmeleon attempted to fight back. He then jumped up, grabbed the escaping Aerodactyl's tail, and followed it into the open air, but was soon shaken off. Upset, Charmeleon evolved into {{p|Charizard}} and flew after Aerodactyl to avenge his injured pride. When {{an|Jigglypuff}} began singing at Misty's request in a desperate attempt to save Ash, Charizard attempted to block out the sleep-bound effects of the song, to no avail. Nonetheless, he managed to catch Ash and put him on the ground before going to sleep, but unfortunately, retained his disobedience afterward.<br />
[[File:Ash Charizard newly evolved.png|thumb|250px|As a newly evolved {{p|Charizard}}]]<br />
Charizard's disobedience towards his Trainer began to cause Ash some serious problems during his {{pkmn|journey}}, losing the [[Cinnabar Gym]] battle against [[Blaine]] in ''[[EP058|Riddle Me This]]'', as he simply loafed off and allowed {{p|Rhydon}} an easy win after Charizard left the ring, causing Blaine to disqualify him from the match. In [[EP059|the next episode]], Charizard refused to help dam the volcano but changed his mind after seeing Blaine's powerful {{TP|Blaine|Magmar}} contributing. After working together, the duo were left with a burning desire to test each other's strength. Blaine allowed Ash to [[rematch]] him at the volcano's peak, and the two Pokémon seemed evenly matched. Magmar dropped Charizard into the lava, but Charizard regained the upper hand by dazing Magmar with an aerial {{m|Submission}} attack and then knocking it out with his powerful {{m|Seismic Toss}}, earning Ash the {{badge|Volcano}}.<br />
<br />
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 stomped the ground, causing the little Pikachu to be thrown into the air, and flapped his wings against it, blowing it far back. Deeming it an unworthy opponent, Charizard went to sleep, refusing to battle. Due to this, Charizard was disqualified and Ash lost the round, eliminating him from the tournament.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
======Orange Islands======<br />
Ash took Charizard with him to the [[Orange Islands]] despite his refusal to obey him. Ash had noticeably stopped trying to use him in battles, although in ''[[EP093|Navel Maneuvers]]'', Charizard, Pikachu, and Bulbasaur were used in the second round of the [[Navel Gym]] match between Ash and [[Danny]]. Charizard was initially unwilling to participate, and Danny nearly won. However, Charizard inadvertently helped when he tried to use Flamethrower on Ash but missed and carved an ice pillar into a sled. This meant Ash won the round and was able to continue the match.<br />
<br />
In ''[[EP098|A Way Off Day Off]]'', although he did not obey Ash, Charizard recognized the wisdom and formidable experience that [[Tracey's Scyther]] had, and the two teamed up to defeat Team Rocket. Scyther was the only Pokémon in the group whom Charizard respected.<br />
<br />
Charizard continued to ignore Ash during battles, such as in ''[[EP099|The Mandarin Island Miss Match]]''. Charizard took down a boy's {{p|Tauros}} with a single attack before flying away and rampaging the city. Ash was unable to recall him, and only the intervention of [[Lorelei|Prima]] and her {{p|Slowbro}} using {{m|Disable}} allowed Ash to stop Charizard.<br />
[[File:Ash Charizard frozen.png|thumb|left|250px|Being taken care of by Ash]]<br />
In ''[[EP105|Charizard Chills]]'', Charizard battled [[Tad]]'s {{p|Poliwrath}}. He blatantly refused to listen to Ash's commands, continuing to use Flamethrower despite having no effect on Poliwrath. Tad and Poliwrath resisted them until Poliwrath responded with a {{m|Water Gun}} that nearly doused the flame on Charizard's tail. He was then {{status|Freeze|frozen}} over by Poliwrath's {{m|Ice Beam}}, much to Ash's horror. Ash managed to smash the ice encasing Charizard's head, and Tad walked away scornfully, telling Ash that they would have a rematch when he could control Charizard. Ash lit a fire and thawed Charizard out before rubbing Charizard all over to help him regain his body heat. Pikachu pointed out that Ash's hands were rubbed raw, but Ash replied that he didn't mind and redoubled his efforts upon seeing that Charizard's tail flame was so small. Charizard woke up in a panic and tried to attack, but he was so cold that he could not produce a flame and passed out again. Misty provided a blanket, and Tracey kept the fires up while Pikachu watched the flame, but Ash worked throughout the night to help Charizard recover.<br />
<br />
The selfless act reminded Charizard of everything Ash had done for him since he was a Charmander. By morning, Charizard's respect and loyalty to Ash had returned, and he helped Ash rescue Pikachu from Team Rocket. Ash and Pikachu were briefly knocked out during the rescue, and Charizard became so incensed he learned Dragon Rage. In a rematch with Tad and Poliwrath, Charizard learned to dodge Ice Beam and knocked Poliwrath into the air before defeating it with Seismic Toss. <br />
<br />
During the events of ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'', Charizard aided Ash alongside Pikachu and Squirtle in freeing {{DL|Legendary birds (M02)|Moltres}} from [[Lawrence III]]'s clutches and also proceeded to encourage Ash with his task as the Chosen One alongside the rest of his Pokémon. He later aided Ash alongside Squirtle by pulling a discarded metal part. He also countered Moltres's flame blasts alongside Squirtle and Pikachu when the titans tried to attack them. However, he was ultimately forced to return to his Poké Ball after the titans simultaneously created a rift and a wall of ice barring Ash from continuing onward to [[Ice Island]].<br />
<br />
He participated in Ash's [[Kumquat Gym]] battle against [[Luana]] in ''[[EP108|Pokémon Double Trouble]]''. He fought Luana's {{p|Alakazam}} and {{p|Marowak}} alongside Pikachu in the series' first official [[Double Battle]]. The two Pokémon initially had trouble collaborating but eventually managed to work together: Pikachu helped to free Charizard from Alakazam's {{m|Psychic}}, and Charizard caught Pikachu after he was hit by Marowak's {{m|Body Slam}}. Charizard's skillful flying caused Marowak and Alakazam to knock each other out, earning Ash the {{badge|Jade Star}}.<br />
<br />
Charizard was also used in Ash's [[Orange League]] battle against {{OBP|Drake|Orange League}} in ''[[EP112|Enter the Dragonite]]''. Charizard defeated Drake's {{p|Electabuzz}} by blocking its electricity with Fire Spin and knocking it out with Seismic Toss. He also fought {{TP|Drake|Dragonite}}, but was hit by a powerful {{m|Water Gun}} and then {{m|Slam}}med into the ground. After a clash of Dragon Rages, Charizard fainted, but his attacks had begun to wear Dragonite down, paving the way for Pikachu to finish it off and give Ash the victory. Charizard was inducted into the [[Palace of Victory|Orange League Hall of Fame]] with Ash's other Pokémon.<br />
<br />
====={{aniseries|GS}}=====<br />
[[File:ValleyShipping.png|thumb|220px|With Charla]]<br />
Charizard also accompanied Ash on his journey to the [[Johto]] region, although it became apparent that he was unfairly superior to most of Ash's early competition. This was shown especially in ''[[EP118|The Double Trouble Header]]'', where Charizard easily defeated all three of {{an|Casey}}'s Pokémon, despite the disapproval of Misty and Brock. Team Rocket later capitalized on Casey's frustration, calling Charizard an illegal choice by Ash.<br />
<br />
Charizard was used to weaken and help Ash capture a {{AP|Chikorita}} in ''[[EP126|The Chikorita Rescue]]''. His massive size compared to her came into effect when Chikorita ran towards him and tried to attack; Charizard responded by placing his foot out and blowing a small puff of fire after being instructed by Ash to only weaken her. Charizard's puff of fire ended up on Chikorita's leaf and caused her to run around for a short amount of time before using {{m|Vine Whip}} to attack Charizard. Ash recalled Charizard after he and Chikorita fell into a large canvas of rocks.<br />
<br />
In ''[[EP131|Fighting Flyer with Fire]]'', he participated in Ash's first Johto Gym battle against [[Falkner]] at the [[Violet Gym]], where he battled Falkner's {{p|Pidgeot}}. Due to the latter's impressive {{stat|Speed}}, Charizard started at a disadvantage, with Pidgeot's {{m|Whirlwind}} reflecting his Flamethrower onto him. He was then knocked back down by a combination of {{m|Wing Attack}} and {{m|Quick Attack}}. Falkner told Ash to surrender, but Ash refused, and Charizard gained the strength to fight back and fly above Quick Attack. Charizard then baited Pidgeot, spinning around in midair when Pidgeot flew behind him and hitting it with Fire Spin before seizing it and hurling it into the ground with Seismic Toss. Pidgeot was knocked out, and Ash won the {{badge|Zephyr}}.<br />
[[File:Ash leaving Charizard.png|thumb|left|220px|Ash parting ways with Charizard]]<br />
In ''[[EP134|Charizard's Burning Ambitions]]'', Misty criticized Ash for using Charizard too often against fresh young Trainers, making him unbeatable but in an unfair way. Ash then met {{Jo|Liza}}, who taught Ash and Charizard how to fly together. After arriving in the [[Charicific Valley]], Charizard was humiliated by Liza's insults and proudly tried to show off his power. However, he was shown to be smaller and weaker than the wild Charizard who lived there. Charizard continued to pick fights and kept getting himself beaten until Liza locked them out of the Valley, having [[Charla]] throw Charizard into the lake and telling him and Ash to stay away until they had trained and reflected. Team Rocket sympathized with Charizard and helped him to stay awake in the lake, as well as making a false attempt to break into the Valley, allowing Charizard to defeat them and win acclaim from Liza, Charla, and the wild Charizard. Facing an emotional battle, Ash told Charizard that he did not want a weakling on his team and he would be fine without him, forcing Charizard to stay at the Valley to train and become more powerful. He then ran away from the Valley, knowing that if he stopped, he would not be able to say goodbye. Pikachu wished Charizard well and followed Ash, leaving his teammate and friend behind.<br />
<br />
In ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown: Entei]]'', Charizard saw news footage of {{OBP|Entei|M03}} abducting [[Delia Ketchum]] and Ash futilely pursuing them, so Charizard decided to leave the Charicific Valley briefly and flew to [[Greenfield]] in an attempt to help. Later that night, Charizard arrived just in time to catch Ash and Pikachu when Entei knocked them out of a tower. Charizard then battled Entei with Ash riding on its back, but though it was briefly able to send Entei flying with Fire Spin, [[Molly Hale]]'s reality-warping powers granted by the {{OBP|Unown|M03}} tipped the scales too much in Entei's favor, like when crystal spikes would emerge to impede Charizard's flight. Entei eventually pinned Charizard and prepared to hit it with a point-blank Fire Blast, but Molly came to her senses and convinced Entei to stop. Charizard, Pikachu, and Entei worked together to defeat the Unown when their powers went berserk and threatened to destroy everything, but this came at the cost of Entei's existence. With the crisis over, Charizard returned to the Charicific Valley.<br />
<br />
During his time in the Charicific Valley, Charizard took the role of Charla's bodyguard, and the two seem to have a sort of romantic relationship with each other. Liza occasionally visited the [[Dragon Holy Land]] in [[Blackthorn City]] with the two Charizard. One such visit was in ''[[EP253|Great Bowls of Fire!]]'', which coincidentally occurred when Ash was there for his final [[Johto]] Gym battle. Charizard helped Ash, [[Clair]], Pikachu, and {{TP|Clair|Dragonair}} calm the wild {{p|Dragonite}} that was rampaging in the Dragon Holy Land.<br />
<br />
In ''[[EP254|Better Eight Than Never]]'', Charizard battled against Clair's Dragonair in Ash's [[Blackthorn Gym]] rematch. He caused the water in the Gym's pool to evaporate with his Flamethrower and Fire Spin, thus depriving Dragonair of its protection. He then caught Dragonair with Seismic Toss and used Fire Spin to create a flaming twister to wear down Dragonair's defenses before it hit the ground and was knocked out, winning Ash the match and earning him the {{badge|Rising}}. Ash surprised Liza by sending him back for training afterwards, knowing that Charizard still had a lot to learn.<br />
[[File:Ash Charizard Gary Blastoise.png|thumb|250px|Charizard defeating Gary's Blastoise]]<br />
Ash later used Charizard in the [[Silver Conference]] during his fight against {{Gary}} in ''[[EP270|Can't Beat the Heat!]]'', as Brock had made a late-night call to Liza requesting Charizard for the battle. [[Gary's Blastoise]] and {{p|Scizor}} cut Ash's team down to only Charizard, who had to fight three opponents single-handedly. He managed to match Scizor's speed and took advantage of his significant type advantage, defeating Scizor with a single Flamethrower. Despite {{p|Golem}}'s weight preventing Charizard from using his Seismic Toss, Charizard overcame it with a powerful Dragon Rage attack. Charizard struggled against Gary's Blastoise, as it had supreme defensive capabilities and could keep Charizard at bay with Hydro Pump. Thinking outside the box, Ash told Charizard to superheat the field, which forced Blastoise to spend time cooling the molten rock. This created a huge steam cloud and allowed Charizard to seize Blastoise at close range. Blastoise could still use {{m|Withdraw}} to dodge Dragon Rage, so Charizard hurled Blastoise into the ground with Seismic Toss, defeating it and leaving Ash as the winner.<br />
<br />
Charizard was next used in Ash's fight against {{jo|Harrison}} in ''[[EP271|Playing with Fire!]]'', where he went up against [[Harrison's Blaziken]]. Blaziken's powerful legs and ability to maneuver in midair negated Charizard's aerial advantage. Each Pokémon hit hard blows on the other, and their Flamethrowers were shown to be equal in power. Blaziken even managed to get up after a devastating Seismic Toss, while Charizard took a {{m|Blaze Kick}} to the neck and continued on. A final clash between Flamethrower and Dragon Rage knocked both Pokémon down, but only Blaziken could get up, eliminating Ash from the tournament. Charizard once again returned to Charicific Valley. Later, it was revealed that he had injured Blaziken so badly that Harrison had to rest his primary battler in the next round, contributing to his later loss against [[Jon Dickson]].<br />
<br />
====={{aniseries|AG}}=====<br />
Charizard appeared in a flashback to Ash's battle against Harrison in ''[[AG003|There's no Place Like Hoenn]]''.<br />
[[File:AG136.png|thumb|left|220px|Charizard vs Articuno]]<br />
In ''[[AG136|The Symbol Life]]'', he returned for Ash's first {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} battle, where he took on [[Noland's Articuno]] at the {{gdis|Battle Factory|III}}. Ash and Charizard flew together, where Charizard demonstrated a far improved Flamethrower and that he had learned {{m|Dragon Breath}}. In battle, he showed he was a match even for the Legendary Pokémon, using Flamethrower to burn through {{m|Ice Beam}} and strike Articuno. However, Articuno did not take much damage from Flamethrower or Dragon Breath, blinding Charizard with {{m|Mist}} and then knocking him to the ground with {{m|Steel Wing}}. Articuno then inflicted serious damage with {{m|Water Pulse}} and froze Charizard's wing tip, crippling his movements. Finally, Charizard used Overheat, which he had just learned, to melt the ice. He then caught Articuno as it tried to use Steel Wing and struck with a Seismic Toss. Charizard collapsed but managed to get up just as Articuno passed out, giving Ash and Charizard the victory and earning Ash the [[Symbol|Knowledge Symbol]].<br />
<br />
Charizard also battled alongside Pikachu, Bulbasaur, and Squirtle in a four-on-four battle against {{an|Brandon}} at the [[Battle Pyramid]] in ''[[AG189|Gathering the Gang of Four!]]'', where he went up against {{p|Dusclops}}. Charizard had been training since his battle with Articuno and learned Steel Wing, but was put at a disadvantage when Dusclops used {{m|Confuse Ray}} and {{m|Mean Look}}, [[Escape prevention|forcing Charizard to keep battling]] in his baffled state, all the while taking damage from {{m|Will-O-Wisp}}. Finally, Charizard snapped out of his confusion and attacked with Dragon Breath, wearing both Pokémon down. However, an attempt to use Seismic Toss to finish the match cost Ash dearly, as the {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon simply dissipated and re-emerged safely at a distance, where a {{m|Shadow Punch}} took Charizard out and put Ash at a supreme disadvantage. However, Pikachu, Bulbasaur, and Squirtle managed to win the battle and the [[Symbol|Brave Symbol]]. After the match against Brandon, Charizard returned to Charicific Valley.<br />
<br />
====={{aniseries|BW}}=====<br />
======Unova======<br />
In ''[[BW116|The Fires of a Red-Hot Reunion!]]'', Ash and {{ashfr}} attended a [[Kanto Fair]], where one of the presentations featured the local [[first partner Pokémon]], involving a live-action show with a Charmander. This made Ash remember his own Charmander, prompting him to tell {{an|Iris}}, {{an|Cilan}}, and {{an|N}} about his Charizard. Filled with a desire to see his old friend again, Ash called {{an|Professor Oak}}, who, in exchange for [[Ash's Unfezant]], arranged to have Charizard sent over to him. While being introduced to everyone, Charizard immediately started a fiery rivalry with [[Iris's Dragonite]], which encouraged Ash and Iris to have a battle with their two stubborn Pokémon. During the battle, Charizard was shown to have learned Wing Attack, Slash, and Dragon Tail. He quickly gained the upper hand as not even Dragonite's Dragon Rush was able to hurt him, while Dragonite was taking serious damage from Charizard's Dragon Tail. Before it could be settled, the battle was called off by N. Ash then corrected Iris's misconception that Charizard was a {{t|Dragon}} type, upsetting her since she'd wanted to train one as well, and invited Charizard to rejoin his active team, which he happily agreed to.<br />
<br />
In ''[[BW117|Team Plasma's Pokémon Manipulation!]]'', Charizard was called out by Ash to once again fight Iris's Dragonite, who was this time being controlled by [[Colress]].<br />
[[File:Ash Charizard and Pignite.png|thumb|250px|Charizard and {{AP|Pignite}}]]<br />
In ''[[BW119|Meowth, Colress and Team Rivalry!]]'', Charizard was called out to help [[Ash's Pignite]], who had difficulty breathing through his nostrils because something was blocking it. Charizard lifted him up and tossed him to help, but it did not work. Eventually, the blockage was removed, much to everyone's delight.<br />
<br />
Later, in ''[[BW121|Team Plasma and the Awakening Ceremony!]]'', Charizard was sent out alongside the rest of Ash's team to help Ash and N dig up to the surface of the {{an|White Ruins}} after they had fallen into a pit. Charizard cleverly improvised a spinning Dragon Tail to help {{AP|Krookodile}} {{m|dig}} through the earth that {{AP|Oshawott}} had softened with {{m|Hydro Pump}}. While battling Team Plasma again, Charizard withstood many of Team Plasma's attacks before Pignite came to his aid. The two then launched an incredibly powerful double Flamethrower at Team Plasma's Pokémon. However, when Colress turned his mind control machine on them, Charizard was quickly recalled to his Poké Ball, along with Ash's other Pokémon.<br />
<br />
======Decolore Islands======<br />
[[File:Ash and Charizard.png|thumb|left|250px|Charizard and Ash]]<br />
In ''[[BW135|Mystery on a Deserted Island!]]'', Ash used Charizard to battle a wild {{p|Ninetales}} on [[Frond Island]].<br />
<br />
In ''[[BW136|A Pokémon of a Different Color!]],'' Charizard and Iris's Dragonite set off to search for Clair's Dragonite, who had been separated from Clair on an [[Cave Island|island]] in the [[Decolore Islands|Decolore Archipelago]]. After Iris's Dragonite found Clair's, Charizard brought the group to them, only to find the pair squabbling. Although Charizard attempted to stop the fighting, the two Dragonite knocked him away. Later on, Charizard continued to act as a peacemaker unsuccessfully; Ash eventually thanked him for trying and returned Charizard to his Poké Ball.<br />
<br />
In ''[[BW141|Best Wishes Until We Meet Again!]]'', Charizard, along with all of Ash's Pokémon, was stolen by Team Rocket. Later, after recovering all of their Pokémon, Ash used Charizard to attack [[Jessie's Frillish]], who was using {{m|Bubble Beam}} on Ash and company. Charizard easily defeated Frillish with Wing Attack and scorched [[James's Amoonguss]] with a supereffective Flamethrower. Charizard, alongside Pikachu, {{TP|Iris|Axew}}, and {{TP|Cilan|Pansage}}, subsequently sent Team Rocket blasting off.<br />
<br />
Charizard was reunited with all of Ash's Unova Pokémon at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] in ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]''. He joined the others in a group attack on Team Rocket with his Flamethrower to send them blasting off for the last time in ''Pokémon the Series: Black & White''. Charizard was left at the lab before Ash set off for the [[Kalos]] region. He later posed with the rest of Ash's Pokémon in a group photo with him.<br />
<br />
====={{aniseries|SM}}=====<br />
Charizard reappeared in a flashback in ''[[SM042|Alola, Kanto!]]''.<br />
<br />
====={{aniseries|JN}}=====<br />
[[File:Ash Kanto Pokémon JN132.png|thumb|250px|Charizard encouraging Pikachu in a vision]]<br />
In ''[[JN068|Advice to Goh!]]'', Charizard reunited with Ash during his visit to Professor Oak's Laboratory with [[Goh]]. Sometime before, Charizard had battled against [[Ash's Infernape]] before he had left the lab to battle {{p|Moltres}}.<br />
<br />
Charizard, along with the rest of Ash's Pokémon at the lab, reunited with Ash in ''[[JN114|Friends, Rivals, Lend Me Your Spirit!]]''. During the visit, he helped train [[Ash's Gengar]] to learn {{m|Will-O-Wisp}}, and later watched the battle between Ash and [[Paul]]. Before Ash left, he posed with the rest of Ash's Pokémon in a group photo with him.<br />
<br />
From ''[[JN118|Battling as Hard as Stone!]]'' onwards, Charizard watched Ash's [[Masters Eight Tournament]] matches against {{an|Steven Stone|Steven}}, {{an|Cynthia}}, and {{an|Leon}}. In ''[[JN132|Partners in Time!]]'', Charizard appeared as a vision to Pikachu during his battle against [[Leon's Charizard]]. After Ash won the battle, Charizard joined the rest of Ash's Pokémon at the lab in celebrating their Trainer's victory.<br />
[[File:Ash Bulbasaur Charizard Squirtle.png|thumb|left|250px|Charizard, Bulbasaur, and Squirtle]]<br />
In ''[[JN135|Heroes Unite!]]'', Charizard, along with the rest of the Pokémon at the lab, welcomed Ash back to Pallet Town after his victory over Leon.<br />
<br />
In ''[[JN141|A Squad's Worth of Passion!]]'', Ash and his friends discovered Squirtle had become a performer, and Charizard and Bulbasaur were sent out to enjoy the show. They tried to meet up with Squirtle directly after the performance but were misled by Team Rocket and left. They were later able to meet up with Squirtle at their hotel, but Squirtle, upset over the idea that its friends no longer cared for it, attacked them. Charizard didn't hesitate to fight back, with Bulbasaur trying and failing to stop it. Ash broke it up, and Charizard and Bulbasaur left feeling upset. Later, a fire broke out at a warehouse, and the group found the [[Squirtle Squad]] giving their all to stop it. Deciding their feud wasn't worth it, Charizard and Bulbasaur joined the Tiny Turtle Pokémon in putting it out and rescuing the Pokémon trapped by the flames. Afterward, [[Officer Jenny]] arrived to take the Squirtle Squad to their next assignment, but not before sharing a heartfelt goodbye with the group.<br />
<br />
In ''[[JN147|The Rainbow and the Pokémon Master!]]'', Charizard assisted Ash in looking for a missing Charmander around Oak's lab, but to no avail.<br />
{{-}}<br />
<br />
====Personality and characteristics====<br />
{{bulbanews|Personality & Development: Ash's Charizard}}<br />
The emotional turmoil of being abandoned by [[Damian]] defined Charizard when he was a Charmander. Despite the scorn he received from Damian, he loyally waited outside for his return, convinced that he had a good relationship when, in fact, none had existed. Only a violent confrontation revealed the unhealthy nature of his relationship with Damian. Charmander struggled with this abandonment-in ''[[EP017|Island of the Giant Pokémon]]'', he became discouraged when {{AP|Bulbasaur}} suggested that Ash had abandoned them all. Charmander was markedly shy and shown to be anxious, though his confidence quickly grew under Ash's guidance.<br />
<br />
[[File:Ash Charizard disobedience.png|thumb|left|250px|Charizard refusing to battle against [[Sparky]]]]<br />
Despite being one of Ash's most often used Pokémon, Charmander's [[Evolution]] saw Charmeleon grow distant from Ash, scorning all of his former friends and seeking power alone. Charmeleon had become like Damian, obsessed with power and reputation while ignoring the value of friendship, loyalty, and kindness. Charmeleon's battle with {{p|Aerodactyl}} in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]'' was purely based on a bruised ego, and Charizard's later battles with {{TP|Blaine|Magmar}} and [[Zippo]] were solely out of grudging respect for their battling ability, and in the case of the post-league celebration, the destruction of the food. Charizard's unhealthy disobedience even cost Ash the Indigo League when he refused to battle any Pokémon he didn't think was worthy. Nevertheless, he did retain some degree of loyalty to his master and his fellow Pokémon, as the aforementioned incident with Aerodactyl had Charizard barely swooping in to save Ash before completely falling asleep while being affected by Jigglypuff's singing and also saving Pikachu after Team Rocket blasted off before resuming his rampage, with ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'' even having Charizard crying for Ash when he ended up petrified.<br />
<br />
[[File:Ash Charizard Iris Dragonite.png|thumb|250px|Charizard's rivalry with Iris's Dragonite]]<br />
Once Ash made the selfless act to save Charizard from freezing in ''[[EP105|Charizard Chills]]'', Charizard finally shook off the poisonous personality traits left by Damian and regained full loyalty to Ash. His ability to work as part of a team was still hampered, but when working together with {{AP|Pikachu}} to defeat [[Luana]], he finally managed to overcome that difficulty. Since this point, Charizard has been willing to assist Ash in any battle, ranging from [[Casey's Chikorita]] to [[Falkner]]'s Pidgeot with no complaint. However, Charizard maintained the rebellious Flamethrower attacks as a sign of affection for Ash, and while Charizard was loyal, his love of power and reputation remained. This was shown significantly in his departure in ''[[EP134|Charizard's Burning Ambitions]]'', where he brashly challenged each of the wild Charizard at [[Charicific Valley]] even though he was defeated every time.<br />
<br />
Despite retaining his fiery nature and fierce battling spirit, Charizard's return to Ash's regular command in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]'' showed that he had significantly matured throughout {{jo|Liza}}'s training regime. This was displayed in ''[[BW136|A Pokémon of a Different Color!]]'', where he attempted to act as a peacemaker between [[Clair]] and {{an|Iris}}'s two squabbling {{p|Dragonite}}. During his time at Professor Oak's lab, Charizard became very good friends with Ash's Fire types and is usually seen hanging out with them, as shown in ''[[JN068|Advice to Goh!]]'' and ''[[JN114|Friends, Rivals, Lend Me Your Spirit!]]''. Charizard also befriended {{AP|Gengar}} when it visited the lab.<br />

===''I Choose You!''===<br />
[[File:Ash Charizard M20.png|thumb|250px|Ash's Charizard in ''I Choose You!'']]<br />
Charizard appeared in ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'', which is set in [[I Choose You! trilogy|a different continuity]] from {{aniseries|PTS}}. In this continuity, it was the second Pokémon {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|M20|Ash}} caught on his journey.<br />
[[File:Cross and Charmander.png|left|thumb|250px|As a Charmander with Cross]]<br />
As a {{p|Charmander}}, it originally belonged to a Pokémon Trainer named [[Cross]]. Cross deemed Charmander too weak however, and abandoned it and told it to stop following him. Charmander was eventually found in the rain by Ash and [[Verity]]. After arguing briefly with Cross over his decision to abandon Charmander, they took it and went inside a cave to seek shelter from the rain. There, they found [[Sorrel]], who brought Charmander back to good health.<br />
<br />
The following day, Charmander had fully recovered and Ash offered it to join his team. Charmander accepted, despite still feeling loyalty towards Cross. Charmander joined Ash, Verity, and Sorrel on their journey towards the [[Mount Tensei|Raizen Mountains]] to meet {{an|Ho-Oh}}. After a battle against a {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s {{p|Jigglypuff}}, Charmander evolved into Charmeleon. Soon after, Ash encountered Cross again and started a battle with him. Ash used Charmeleon against its former Trainer and his {{p|Incineroar}}. Charmeleon proved to be no match for Incineroar however and was defeated. Ash started to question himself and faulted the loss on Charmeleon, but later apologized when he realized his errors.<br />
<br />
Finally reaching the Raizen Mountains, Ash tried to place his [[Rainbow Wing]] atop Rainbow Rock. He was stopped by Cross however, who wanted to take the Rainbow Wing for himself. Ash battled Cross again, once again using his Charmeleon against Cross and his Incineroar. In the midst of a fierce battle, Charmeleon evolved into Charizard, and this time, it managed to defeat it. Distraught of losing against his former Pokémon, Cross started to realize the error in his ways.<br />
<br />
====Personality and characteristics====<br />
[[File:Ash and Charizard M20.png|250px|thumb|Charizard and Ash]]<br />
Unlike his animated series counterpart, Charizard has always been obedient to Ash, as well as retaining loyalty to his former Trainer Cross so that even after being assaulted by him, Charmander wanted to return to travel alongside him.<br />
<br />
Charizard over time ended up becoming a powerhouse on Ash's team, being able to beat Cross's {{p|Incineroar}} and thus show all his power to his former Trainer.<br />

===Spin-off games===<br />
====[[Pokémon Masters EX]]====<br />
Charizard, in all three of his stages, appears in a flashback during the [[special event]] {{DL|Special event|The Classic Thunderbolt}} in {{g|Masters EX}}.<br />
<br />
==In the manga==<br />
===Ash & Pikachu===<br />
[[File:Ash Charizard AP.png|thumb|200px|Charizard in [[Ash & Pikachu]]]]<br />
Ash's Charizard appeared in ''[[SP33|Off To The Battle Frontier!!]]''. It was excited to see Ash when he called it over as it was sent for training earlier. After arrival, Ash sent it out to battle [[Noland's Articuno]]. During the battle, it struggled to keep up with Articuno despite the type advantage due to the fact that Articuno's speed was quicker than Charizard's in terms of reflexes. However, Charizard focused in on where Articuno was going to strike next and defeated it, earning Ash the Knowledge Symbol.<br />

===The Electric Tale of Pikachu===<br />
[[File:Ash Charizard EToP.png|thumb|230px|left|Charizard in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]]]<br />
{{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]].<br />
<br />
Despite this difference, Ash is still seen owning a Charmander, which first appeared in ''[[ET08|You Gotta Have Friends]]''. Charmander's capture was not shown in the manga, instead, it was explained that "Ash has been busy since the last comic!" when Charmander first appeared from its {{i|Poké Ball}}. Charmander was first seen when a lonely Ash decided to play with his other Pokémon while {{AP|Pikachu|Pikachu (EToP)}} was off playing with a group of Pikachu. Charmander simply set Ash on fire while his {{p|Oddish}} {{status|paralysis|paralyzed}} him with {{m|Stun Spore}}.<br />
<br />
In ''[[ET12|Welcome to the Big Leagues]]'', at the 88th [[Indigo Plateau Conference|Pokémon League]], Ash presented his Charmander, now fully evolved into a Charizard, to {{an|Brock}} and {{an|Misty}}. Despite the fact that Ash wanted to use Charizard as a secret weapon, Charizard refused to listen to him unless he held a special flare that burned with the fire of a {{p|Moltres}}. Due to the fact that the flare burns out quickly and Ash could lose points for using a prop, he decided to not use it and rely on his other Pokémon instead.<br />
<br />
[[File:Ash Charizard violent.png|thumb|230px|Charizard violently attacking Ritchie's Charley]]<br />
In ''[[ET13|The Indigo Finals]]'', during the fifth round of the Pokémon League, Ash sent out Charizard as his third and last Pokémon in his match against [[Ritchie]]. Ritchie countered with his own Charizard, named [[Zippo|Charley]]. Though evenly matched at first, Charizard went into a violent frenzy and mercilessly started scratching, biting, and burning Charley. Ash attempted to stop this mauling with his flare, but Charizard ignored it and continued to attack Charley, heavily injuring it and splattering its blood everywhere. Refusing to keep the fight going on this way, Ash made the choice to [[recall]] Charizard. Since Charizard had left the battle and Charley was still standing despite its injuries, Ritchie was declared the winner, ending Ash's run in the Pokémon League.<br />
<br />
Charizard appeared again in ''[[ET16|You Bet Your Wife]]'', where Ash decided to use it in a dance competition in his Gym battle against [[Rudy]]. After flying around in circles, Charizard set Ash aflame as it did in its first appearance.<br />
<br />
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.<br />

====Mirage Pokémon Lugia's Explosive Birth====<br />
Ash's Charizard first appeared in {{ma|Mirage Pokémon Lugia's Explosive Birth}}. Ash sent it out along with {{AP|Squirtle}} and {{AP|Bulbasaur}} to free the {{OBP|legendary birds|M02}} from their prisons.<br />
<br />
====Genesect and the Legend Awakened====<br />
Charizard reappeared in {{ma|Genesect and the Legend Awakened}}, where Ash sent it out along with his other Pokémon while he was in [[Pokémon Hills]].<br />
{{-}}<br />
<br />
====''I Choose You!''====<br />
[[File:Ash Charizard M20 manga.png|thumb|200px|Charizard in ''{{ma|I Choose You!}}'']]<br />
Charizard appeared in {{ma|I Choose You!}}. It was first shown as a Charmander where [[Cross]] got it from {{an|Professor Oak}}. Later, Cross was revealed to have abandoned Charmander when {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|M20|Ash}} encountered it out in the rain. After Ash and [[Verity]] took Charmander in a cave to recover, [[Sorrel]] helped it back to good health.<br />
<br />
The next day, Ash offered Charmander to join his team and Charmander accepted. It then battled a {{p|Jigglypuff}} and defeated it, which resulted in it evolving into a Charmeleon. Charmeleon battled Cross's {{p|Incineroar}}. During the battle, it kept on damaging Incineroar, something that Cross allowed. However, it turned out to be part of Cross's plan as Incineroar's strength increased by every attack Charmeleon threw at it. Because of that, Incineroar was able to defeat Charmeleon with {{m|Cross Chop}}.<br />
<br />
After Ash and {{ashfr}} reached the [[Mount Tensei|Raizen Mountains]] and encountered Cross again, Charmeleon was used in the rematch against Cross's Incineroar. During the battle, Charmeleon evolved into Charizard and defeated Incineroar. When {{OBP|Marshadow|M20}} became corrupted by the evil tainting it because of Cross placing the Rainbow Wing on top of the rock instead of Ash, Charizard protected Cross from an attack coming from {{p|Lycanroc}} when Marshadow possessed it and took part in the battle against the other Pokémon possessed by Marshadow. After Ash disappeared from existence because of a combined attack coming from Marshadow's army, Charizard and the others were saddened to see that happen. Charizard became happy when Ash was revived.<br />

[[File:Ash Charmeleon ICYR.png|thumb|left|200px|As a Charmeleon]]<br />
Charizard, as a Charmander, belonged to a Trainer named [[Cross]]. Cross released Charmander as he deemed it weak and then Ash eventually caught Charmander. Later, Charmander evolved into a Charmeleon.<br />
<br />
In [[ICYR3]], Charmeleon was sent out to take on three {{p|Nidoking}} at [[Mount Tensei]]. Charmeleon's {{m|Flamethrower}} caused the Nidoking to go running. Later, it was used to battle Cross's Incineroar. During the battle, Cross's Incineroar got the upper hand but Charmeleon evolved into Charizard when it was about to lose. Using its newfound power, Charizard defeated Incineroar with Seismic Toss. Charizard then faced off against Cross's Lycanroc but the outcome was unknown.<br />

'''Ash's Charizard''' (Japanese: '''サトシのリザードン''' ''Satoshi's Lizardon'') was the fourth {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that {{Ash}} {{pkmn2|caught}} in the [[Kanto]] [[region]], and his fifth overall.<br />

======Kanto======<br />
;With Damian<br />
[[File:Damian Charmander.png|thumb|left|220px|Charmander and Damian]]<br />
Charizard originally belonged to a boastful {{pkmn|Trainer}} named [[Damian]] when it was a Charmander. However, in ''[[EP011|Charmander - The Stray Pokémon]]'', Damian grew tired of Charmander being weak, and so he abandoned him, leaving him on a rocky outcrop and telling him that he would come back later. Charmander's health deteriorated, but he was able to resist capture by {{Ash}} twice before explaining to {{AP|Pikachu}} that he was waiting for Damian. Later, Ash met Damian and learned he never planned to return for Charmander. Outraged but mostly concerned for Charmander, who was now stuck out in the rain loyally awaiting Damian, {{an|Brock}}, Ash, and {{an|Misty}} rushed to his rescue, with Brock carrying him to the [[Pokémon Center]] while Ash sheltered the little remaining tail flame with his coat.<br />
[[File:Ash Charmander waiting for Damian.png|thumb|250px|Charmander waiting in the rain for Damian]]<br />
Despite the care shown to him, Charmander was unwilling to remain at the Pokémon Center and returned to the rock where he had been staying. However, he came across {{TRT}}, who had stolen Pikachu. Charmander ordered them to return Pikachu, and when they ignored him, he blasted them with a Flamethrower to send them running away, leaving behind Pikachu. Ash invited Charmander to join them, but Damian turned up with many {{i|Poké Ball}}s and said that he had intentionally abandoned Charmander to toughen him up. Damian threw a Poké Ball at him, but Charmander deflected the Ball in defiance. Having seen Damian's character, Charmander staunchly refused to return, and when Damian threatened to crush him with all of his other Pokémon, he attacked Damian with a Flamethrower attack alongside Pikachu, who used {{m|Thunder Shock}}. Damian fled, and Charmander happily joined Ash's team instead.<br />
<br />
;With Ash<br />
Charmander immediately became one of Ash's main Pokémon, being used in the [[EP012|very next episode]] as a torch to help Ash through the caves. He also joined a group of other Charmander on the [[S.S. Anne|St. Anne]] in ''[[EP015|Battle Aboard the St. Anne]]'' to repel {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s. [[EP016|Later]], Charmander used Flamethrower to torch a hole in the capsized St. Anne's hull, allowing the group and Team Rocket to escape the ship.<br />
<br />
Charmander was separated from Ash in ''[[EP017|Island of the Giant Pokémon]]''—along with Pikachu, {{AP|Bulbasaur}}, and {{AP|Squirtle}}—after a group of {{p|Gyarados}} sent them flying with {{m|Dragon Rage}}. During the separation, Charmander tried to remain optimistic about their Trainer's whereabouts, despite Bulbasaur's belief that they were abandoned and Squirtle's jokes that he'd been eaten. When Ash's Pokémon came across Team Rocket's Pokémon, who were also separated from their Trainers, the two groups of Pokémon joined forces to look for them. The next day, the group came across a group of giant Pokémon and ended up being chased by them straight to Ash, his friends, and Team Rocket, allowing them to reunite.<br />
<br />
In ''[[EP023|The Tower of Terror]]'', Charmander lit the way through [[Pokémon Tower]] during Ash's search for a {{t|Ghost}}-type Pokémon to challenge the [[Saffron City]] Gym Leader [[Sabrina]]. Although frightened, Charmander tried to be brave for his Trainer. He attempted to use {{m|Leer}} against a {{TP|Sabrina|Haunter}}, but the wild Pokémon laughed off the attempt and attacked Charmander with {{m|Lick}}, forcing Ash to recall him. The Haunter took a liking to Ash and agreed to help him challenge Sabrina in [[EP024|the following episode]], but disappeared when it came time to battle. Ash attempted to send Charmander out to fight, but it refused to step into the ring with Sabrina's {{TP|Sabrina|Kadabra}}.<br />
<br />
In ''[[EP025|Primeape Goes Bananas]]'', Charmander battled a berserk {{AP|Primeape}}. He finally subdued his opponent using {{m|Rage}} and Flamethrower. Charmander made his Gym Battle debut in [[EP026|the next episode]], where he defeated [[Erika]]'s {{p|Weepinbell}} after burning {{m|Razor Leaf}} and then striking a powerful Skull Bash. However, in the next round, the pure stench emitting from her {{p|Gloom}} caused Charmander to choke and faint. Ash called on Charmander's assistance against [[Koga]] in ''[[EP032|The Ninja Poké-Showdown]]''. He went up against Koga's {{p|Venomoth}} briefly before their match was interrupted by Team Rocket. For the official Gym battle, Charmander went up against [[Koga's Golbat]] and defeated it with Ember and Fire Spin, earning Ash the {{Badge|Soul}}.<br />
[[File:Ash Charmeleon disobedience.png|thumb|left|250px|Charmeleon attacking Ash]]<br />
The rise in Charmander's battle [[experience]] reached its peak in ''[[EP043|The March of the Exeggutor Squad]]'', where he helped stop a large number of rampaging {{p|Exeggutor}}. Subsequently, Charmander [[Evolution|evolved]] into {{p|Charmeleon}}. However, in ''[[EP044|The Problem with Paras]]'', it was revealed that Charmeleon was no longer [[obedience|obedient]] to Ash, attacking a {{p|Paras}} when Ash was deliberately trying to lose to help Paras evolve. [[Lacy (EP044)|Cassandra's grandmother]] explained that Charmeleon's skill level had exceeded Ash's, and therefore he did not respect him. Ironically, a rampaging Charmeleon was stopped when Paras, desperately trying to avoid punishment, jabbed at him with a claw. After evolving into {{p|Parasect}}, it put Charmeleon to sleep with {{m|Spore}} and allowed Ash to [[recall]] him. Cassandra's grandmother warned Ash that he needed to learn to control Charmeleon.<br />
<br />
Ash stopped using his disobedient Charmeleon but tried again in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]'' to repel wild [[Fossil|Fossil Pokémon]], which he refused to do. When an {{p|Aerodactyl}} swooped past, knocking Charmeleon over, Charmeleon attempted to fight back. He then jumped up, grabbed the escaping Aerodactyl's tail, and followed it into the open air, but was soon shaken off. Upset, Charmeleon evolved into {{p|Charizard}} and flew after Aerodactyl to avenge his injured pride. When {{an|Jigglypuff}} began singing at Misty's request in a desperate attempt to save Ash, Charizard attempted to block out the sleep-bound effects of the song, to no avail. Nonetheless, he managed to catch Ash and put him on the ground before going to sleep, but unfortunately, retained his disobedience afterward.<br />
[[File:Ash Charizard newly evolved.png|thumb|250px|As a newly evolved {{p|Charizard}}]]<br />
Charizard's disobedience towards his Trainer began to cause Ash some serious problems during his {{pkmn|journey}}, losing the [[Cinnabar Gym]] battle against [[Blaine]] in ''[[EP058|Riddle Me This]]'', as he simply loafed off and allowed {{p|Rhydon}} an easy win after Charizard left the ring, causing Blaine to disqualify him from the match. In [[EP059|the next episode]], Charizard refused to help dam the volcano but changed his mind after seeing Blaine's powerful {{TP|Blaine|Magmar}} contributing. After working together, the duo were left with a burning desire to test each other's strength. Blaine allowed Ash to [[rematch]] him at the volcano's peak, and the two Pokémon seemed evenly matched. Magmar dropped Charizard into the lava, but Charizard regained the upper hand by dazing Magmar with an aerial {{m|Submission}} attack and then knocking it out with his powerful {{m|Seismic Toss}}, earning Ash the {{badge|Volcano}}.<br />
<br />
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 stomped the ground, causing the little Pikachu to be thrown into the air, and flapped his wings against it, blowing it far back. Deeming it an unworthy opponent, Charizard went to sleep, refusing to battle. Due to this, Charizard was disqualified and Ash lost the round, eliminating him from the tournament.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
======Orange Islands======<br />
Ash took Charizard with him to the [[Orange Islands]] despite his refusal to obey him. Ash had noticeably stopped trying to use him in battles, although in ''[[EP093|Navel Maneuvers]]'', Charizard, Pikachu, and Bulbasaur were used in the second round of the [[Navel Gym]] match between Ash and [[Danny]]. Charizard was initially unwilling to participate, and Danny nearly won. However, Charizard inadvertently helped when he tried to use Flamethrower on Ash but missed and carved an ice pillar into a sled. This meant Ash won the round and was able to continue the match.<br />
<br />
In ''[[EP098|A Way Off Day Off]]'', although he did not obey Ash, Charizard recognized the wisdom and formidable experience that [[Tracey's Scyther]] had, and the two teamed up to defeat Team Rocket. Scyther was the only Pokémon in the group whom Charizard respected.<br />
<br />
Charizard continued to ignore Ash during battles, such as in ''[[EP099|The Mandarin Island Miss Match]]''. Charizard took down a boy's {{p|Tauros}} with a single attack before flying away and rampaging the city. Ash was unable to recall him, and only the intervention of [[Lorelei|Prima]] and her {{p|Slowbro}} using {{m|Disable}} allowed Ash to stop Charizard.<br />
[[File:Ash Charizard frozen.png|thumb|left|250px|Being taken care of by Ash]]<br />
In ''[[EP105|Charizard Chills]]'', Charizard battled [[Tad]]'s {{p|Poliwrath}}. He blatantly refused to listen to Ash's commands, continuing to use Flamethrower despite having no effect on Poliwrath. Tad and Poliwrath resisted them until Poliwrath responded with a {{m|Water Gun}} that nearly doused the flame on Charizard's tail. He was then {{status|Freeze|frozen}} over by Poliwrath's {{m|Ice Beam}}, much to Ash's horror. Ash managed to smash the ice encasing Charizard's head, and Tad walked away scornfully, telling Ash that they would have a rematch when he could control Charizard. Ash lit a fire and thawed Charizard out before rubbing Charizard all over to help him regain his body heat. Pikachu pointed out that Ash's hands were rubbed raw, but Ash replied that he didn't mind and redoubled his efforts upon seeing that Charizard's tail flame was so small. Charizard woke up in a panic and tried to attack, but he was so cold that he could not produce a flame and passed out again. Misty provided a blanket, and Tracey kept the fires up while Pikachu watched the flame, but Ash worked throughout the night to help Charizard recover.<br />
<br />
The selfless act reminded Charizard of everything Ash had done for him since he was a Charmander. By morning, Charizard's respect and loyalty to Ash had returned, and he helped Ash rescue Pikachu from Team Rocket. Ash and Pikachu were briefly knocked out during the rescue, and Charizard became so incensed he learned Dragon Rage. In a rematch with Tad and Poliwrath, Charizard learned to dodge Ice Beam and knocked Poliwrath into the air before defeating it with Seismic Toss. <br />
<br />
During the events of ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'', Charizard aided Ash alongside Pikachu and Squirtle in freeing {{DL|Legendary birds (M02)|Moltres}} from [[Lawrence III]]'s clutches and also proceeded to encourage Ash with his task as the Chosen One alongside the rest of his Pokémon. He later aided Ash alongside Squirtle by pulling a discarded metal part. He also countered Moltres's flame blasts alongside Squirtle and Pikachu when the titans tried to attack them. However, he was ultimately forced to return to his Poké Ball after the titans simultaneously created a rift and a wall of ice barring Ash from continuing onward to [[Ice Island]].<br />
<br />
He participated in Ash's [[Kumquat Gym]] battle against [[Luana]] in ''[[EP108|Pokémon Double Trouble]]''. He fought Luana's {{p|Alakazam}} and {{p|Marowak}} alongside Pikachu in the series' first official [[Double Battle]]. The two Pokémon initially had trouble collaborating but eventually managed to work together: Pikachu helped to free Charizard from Alakazam's {{m|Psychic}}, and Charizard caught Pikachu after he was hit by Marowak's {{m|Body Slam}}. Charizard's skillful flying caused Marowak and Alakazam to knock each other out, earning Ash the {{badge|Jade Star}}.<br />
<br />
Charizard was also used in Ash's [[Orange League]] battle against {{OBP|Drake|Orange League}} in ''[[EP112|Enter the Dragonite]]''. Charizard defeated Drake's {{p|Electabuzz}} by blocking its electricity with Fire Spin and knocking it out with Seismic Toss. He also fought {{TP|Drake|Dragonite}}, but was hit by a powerful {{m|Water Gun}} and then {{m|Slam}}med into the ground. After a clash of Dragon Rages, Charizard fainted, but his attacks had begun to wear Dragonite down, paving the way for Pikachu to finish it off and give Ash the victory. Charizard was inducted into the [[Palace of Victory|Orange League Hall of Fame]] with Ash's other Pokémon.<br />
<br />
====={{aniseries|GS}}=====<br />
[[File:ValleyShipping.png|thumb|220px|With Charla]]<br />
Charizard also accompanied Ash on his journey to the [[Johto]] region, although it became apparent that he was unfairly superior to most of Ash's early competition. This was shown especially in ''[[EP118|The Double Trouble Header]]'', where Charizard easily defeated all three of {{an|Casey}}'s Pokémon, despite the disapproval of Misty and Brock. Team Rocket later capitalized on Casey's frustration, calling Charizard an illegal choice by Ash.<br />
<br />
Charizard was used to weaken and help Ash capture a {{AP|Chikorita}} in ''[[EP126|The Chikorita Rescue]]''. His massive size compared to her came into effect when Chikorita ran towards him and tried to attack; Charizard responded by placing his foot out and blowing a small puff of fire after being instructed by Ash to only weaken her. Charizard's puff of fire ended up on Chikorita's leaf and caused her to run around for a short amount of time before using {{m|Vine Whip}} to attack Charizard. Ash recalled Charizard after he and Chikorita fell into a large canvas of rocks.<br />
<br />
In ''[[EP131|Fighting Flyer with Fire]]'', he participated in Ash's first Johto Gym battle against [[Falkner]] at the [[Violet Gym]], where he battled Falkner's {{p|Pidgeot}}. Due to the latter's impressive {{stat|Speed}}, Charizard started at a disadvantage, with Pidgeot's {{m|Whirlwind}} reflecting his Flamethrower onto him. He was then knocked back down by a combination of {{m|Wing Attack}} and {{m|Quick Attack}}. Falkner told Ash to surrender, but Ash refused, and Charizard gained the strength to fight back and fly above Quick Attack. Charizard then baited Pidgeot, spinning around in midair when Pidgeot flew behind him and hitting it with Fire Spin before seizing it and hurling it into the ground with Seismic Toss. Pidgeot was knocked out, and Ash won the {{badge|Zephyr}}.<br />
[[File:Ash leaving Charizard.png|thumb|left|220px|Ash parting ways with Charizard]]<br />
In ''[[EP134|Charizard's Burning Ambitions]]'', Misty criticized Ash for using Charizard too often against fresh young Trainers, making him unbeatable but in an unfair way. Ash then met {{Jo|Liza}}, who taught Ash and Charizard how to fly together. After arriving in the [[Charicific Valley]], Charizard was humiliated by Liza's insults and proudly tried to show off his power. However, he was shown to be smaller and weaker than the wild Charizard who lived there. Charizard continued to pick fights and kept getting himself beaten until Liza locked them out of the Valley, having [[Charla]] throw Charizard into the lake and telling him and Ash to stay away until they had trained and reflected. Team Rocket sympathized with Charizard and helped him to stay awake in the lake, as well as making a false attempt to break into the Valley, allowing Charizard to defeat them and win acclaim from Liza, Charla, and the wild Charizard. Facing an emotional battle, Ash told Charizard that he did not want a weakling on his team and he would be fine without him, forcing Charizard to stay at the Valley to train and become more powerful. He then ran away from the Valley, knowing that if he stopped, he would not be able to say goodbye. Pikachu wished Charizard well and followed Ash, leaving his teammate and friend behind.<br />
<br />
In ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown: Entei]]'', Charizard saw news footage of {{OBP|Entei|M03}} abducting [[Delia Ketchum]] and Ash futilely pursuing them, so Charizard decided to leave the Charicific Valley briefly and flew to [[Greenfield]] in an attempt to help. Later that night, Charizard arrived just in time to catch Ash and Pikachu when Entei knocked them out of a tower. Charizard then battled Entei with Ash riding on its back, but though it was briefly able to send Entei flying with Fire Spin, [[Molly Hale]]'s reality-warping powers granted by the {{OBP|Unown|M03}} tipped the scales too much in Entei's favor, like when crystal spikes would emerge to impede Charizard's flight. Entei eventually pinned Charizard and prepared to hit it with a point-blank Fire Blast, but Molly came to her senses and convinced Entei to stop. Charizard, Pikachu, and Entei worked together to defeat the Unown when their powers went berserk and threatened to destroy everything, but this came at the cost of Entei's existence. With the crisis over, Charizard returned to the Charicific Valley.<br />
<br />
During his time in the Charicific Valley, Charizard took the role of Charla's bodyguard, and the two seem to have a sort of romantic relationship with each other. Liza occasionally visited the [[Dragon Holy Land]] in [[Blackthorn City]] with the two Charizard. One such visit was in ''[[EP253|Great Bowls of Fire!]]'', which coincidentally occurred when Ash was there for his final [[Johto]] Gym battle. Charizard helped Ash, [[Clair]], Pikachu, and {{TP|Clair|Dragonair}} calm the wild {{p|Dragonite}} that was rampaging in the Dragon Holy Land.<br />
<br />
In ''[[EP254|Better Eight Than Never]]'', Charizard battled against Clair's Dragonair in Ash's [[Blackthorn Gym]] rematch. He caused the water in the Gym's pool to evaporate with his Flamethrower and Fire Spin, thus depriving Dragonair of its protection. He then caught Dragonair with Seismic Toss and used Fire Spin to create a flaming twister to wear down Dragonair's defenses before it hit the ground and was knocked out, winning Ash the match and earning him the {{badge|Rising}}. Ash surprised Liza by sending him back for training afterwards, knowing that Charizard still had a lot to learn.<br />
[[File:Ash Charizard Gary Blastoise.png|thumb|250px|Charizard defeating Gary's Blastoise]]<br />
Ash later used Charizard in the [[Silver Conference]] during his fight against {{Gary}} in ''[[EP270|Can't Beat the Heat!]]'', as Brock had made a late-night call to Liza requesting Charizard for the battle. [[Gary's Blastoise]] and {{p|Scizor}} cut Ash's team down to only Charizard, who had to fight three opponents single-handedly. He managed to match Scizor's speed and took advantage of his significant type advantage, defeating Scizor with a single Flamethrower. Despite {{p|Golem}}'s weight preventing Charizard from using his Seismic Toss, Charizard overcame it with a powerful Dragon Rage attack. Charizard struggled against Gary's Blastoise, as it had supreme defensive capabilities and could keep Charizard at bay with Hydro Pump. Thinking outside the box, Ash told Charizard to superheat the field, which forced Blastoise to spend time cooling the molten rock. This created a huge steam cloud and allowed Charizard to seize Blastoise at close range. Blastoise could still use {{m|Withdraw}} to dodge Dragon Rage, so Charizard hurled Blastoise into the ground with Seismic Toss, defeating it and leaving Ash as the winner.<br />
<br />
Charizard was next used in Ash's fight against {{jo|Harrison}} in ''[[EP271|Playing with Fire!]]'', where he went up against [[Harrison's Blaziken]]. Blaziken's powerful legs and ability to maneuver in midair negated Charizard's aerial advantage. Each Pokémon hit hard blows on the other, and their Flamethrowers were shown to be equal in power. Blaziken even managed to get up after a devastating Seismic Toss, while Charizard took a {{m|Blaze Kick}} to the neck and continued on. A final clash between Flamethrower and Dragon Rage knocked both Pokémon down, but only Blaziken could get up, eliminating Ash from the tournament. Charizard once again returned to Charicific Valley. Later, it was revealed that he had injured Blaziken so badly that Harrison had to rest his primary battler in the next round, contributing to his later loss against [[Jon Dickson]].<br />
<br />
====={{aniseries|AG}}=====<br />
Charizard appeared in a flashback to Ash's battle against Harrison in ''[[AG003|There's no Place Like Hoenn]]''.<br />
[[File:AG136.png|thumb|left|220px|Charizard vs Articuno]]<br />
In ''[[AG136|The Symbol Life]]'', he returned for Ash's first {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} battle, where he took on [[Noland's Articuno]] at the {{gdis|Battle Factory|III}}. Ash and Charizard flew together, where Charizard demonstrated a far improved Flamethrower and that he had learned {{m|Dragon Breath}}. In battle, he showed he was a match even for the Legendary Pokémon, using Flamethrower to burn through {{m|Ice Beam}} and strike Articuno. However, Articuno did not take much damage from Flamethrower or Dragon Breath, blinding Charizard with {{m|Mist}} and then knocking him to the ground with {{m|Steel Wing}}. Articuno then inflicted serious damage with {{m|Water Pulse}} and froze Charizard's wing tip, crippling his movements. Finally, Charizard used Overheat, which he had just learned, to melt the ice. He then caught Articuno as it tried to use Steel Wing and struck with a Seismic Toss. Charizard collapsed but managed to get up just as Articuno passed out, giving Ash and Charizard the victory and earning Ash the [[Symbol|Knowledge Symbol]].<br />
<br />
Charizard also battled alongside Pikachu, Bulbasaur, and Squirtle in a four-on-four battle against {{an|Brandon}} at the [[Battle Pyramid]] in ''[[AG189|Gathering the Gang of Four!]]'', where he went up against {{p|Dusclops}}. Charizard had been training since his battle with Articuno and learned Steel Wing, but was put at a disadvantage when Dusclops used {{m|Confuse Ray}} and {{m|Mean Look}}, [[Escape prevention|forcing Charizard to keep battling]] in his baffled state, all the while taking damage from {{m|Will-O-Wisp}}. Finally, Charizard snapped out of his confusion and attacked with Dragon Breath, wearing both Pokémon down. However, an attempt to use Seismic Toss to finish the match cost Ash dearly, as the {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon simply dissipated and re-emerged safely at a distance, where a {{m|Shadow Punch}} took Charizard out and put Ash at a supreme disadvantage. However, Pikachu, Bulbasaur, and Squirtle managed to win the battle and the [[Symbol|Brave Symbol]]. After the match against Brandon, Charizard returned to Charicific Valley.<br />
<br />
====={{aniseries|BW}}=====<br />
======Unova======<br />
In ''[[BW116|The Fires of a Red-Hot Reunion!]]'', Ash and {{ashfr}} attended a [[Kanto Fair]], where one of the presentations featured the local [[first partner Pokémon]], involving a live-action show with a Charmander. This made Ash remember his own Charmander, prompting him to tell {{an|Iris}}, {{an|Cilan}}, and {{an|N}} about his Charizard. Filled with a desire to see his old friend again, Ash called {{an|Professor Oak}}, who, in exchange for [[Ash's Unfezant]], arranged to have Charizard sent over to him. While being introduced to everyone, Charizard immediately started a fiery rivalry with [[Iris's Dragonite]], which encouraged Ash and Iris to have a battle with their two stubborn Pokémon. During the battle, Charizard was shown to have learned Wing Attack, Slash, and Dragon Tail. He quickly gained the upper hand as not even Dragonite's Dragon Rush was able to hurt him, while Dragonite was taking serious damage from Charizard's Dragon Tail. Before it could be settled, the battle was called off by N. Ash then corrected Iris's misconception that Charizard was a {{t|Dragon}} type, upsetting her since she'd wanted to train one as well, and invited Charizard to rejoin his active team, which he happily agreed to.<br />
<br />
In ''[[BW117|Team Plasma's Pokémon Manipulation!]]'', Charizard was called out by Ash to once again fight Iris's Dragonite, who was this time being controlled by [[Colress]].<br />
[[File:Ash Charizard and Pignite.png|thumb|250px|Charizard and {{AP|Pignite}}]]<br />
In ''[[BW119|Meowth, Colress and Team Rivalry!]]'', Charizard was called out to help [[Ash's Pignite]], who had difficulty breathing through his nostrils because something was blocking it. Charizard lifted him up and tossed him to help, but it did not work. Eventually, the blockage was removed, much to everyone's delight.<br />
<br />
Later, in ''[[BW121|Team Plasma and the Awakening Ceremony!]]'', Charizard was sent out alongside the rest of Ash's team to help Ash and N dig up to the surface of the {{an|White Ruins}} after they had fallen into a pit. Charizard cleverly improvised a spinning Dragon Tail to help {{AP|Krookodile}} {{m|dig}} through the earth that {{AP|Oshawott}} had softened with {{m|Hydro Pump}}. While battling Team Plasma again, Charizard withstood many of Team Plasma's attacks before Pignite came to his aid. The two then launched an incredibly powerful double Flamethrower at Team Plasma's Pokémon. However, when Colress turned his mind control machine on them, Charizard was quickly recalled to his Poké Ball, along with Ash's other Pokémon.<br />
<br />
======Decolore Islands======<br />
[[File:Ash and Charizard.png|thumb|left|250px|Charizard and Ash]]<br />
In ''[[BW135|Mystery on a Deserted Island!]]'', Ash used Charizard to battle a wild {{p|Ninetales}} on [[Frond Island]].<br />
<br />
In ''[[BW136|A Pokémon of a Different Color!]],'' Charizard and Iris's Dragonite set off to search for Clair's Dragonite, who had been separated from Clair on an [[Cave Island|island]] in the [[Decolore Islands|Decolore Archipelago]]. After Iris's Dragonite found Clair's, Charizard brought the group to them, only to find the pair squabbling. Although Charizard attempted to stop the fighting, the two Dragonite knocked him away. Later on, Charizard continued to act as a peacemaker unsuccessfully; Ash eventually thanked him for trying and returned Charizard to his Poké Ball.<br />
<br />
In ''[[BW141|Best Wishes Until We Meet Again!]]'', Charizard, along with all of Ash's Pokémon, was stolen by Team Rocket. Later, after recovering all of their Pokémon, Ash used Charizard to attack [[Jessie's Frillish]], who was using {{m|Bubble Beam}} on Ash and company. Charizard easily defeated Frillish with Wing Attack and scorched [[James's Amoonguss]] with a supereffective Flamethrower. Charizard, alongside Pikachu, {{TP|Iris|Axew}}, and {{TP|Cilan|Pansage}}, subsequently sent Team Rocket blasting off.<br />
<br />
Charizard was reunited with all of Ash's Unova Pokémon at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] in ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]''. He joined the others in a group attack on Team Rocket with his Flamethrower to send them blasting off for the last time in ''Pokémon the Series: Black & White''. Charizard was left at the lab before Ash set off for the [[Kalos]] region. He later posed with the rest of Ash's Pokémon in a group photo with him.<br />
<br />
====={{aniseries|SM}}=====<br />
Charizard reappeared in a flashback in ''[[SM042|Alola, Kanto!]]''.<br />
<br />
====={{aniseries|JN}}=====<br />
[[File:Ash Kanto Pokémon JN132.png|thumb|250px|Charizard encouraging Pikachu in a vision]]<br />
In ''[[JN068|Advice to Goh!]]'', Charizard reunited with Ash during his visit to Professor Oak's Laboratory with [[Goh]]. Sometime before, Charizard had battled against [[Ash's Infernape]] before he had left the lab to battle {{p|Moltres}}.<br />
<br />
Charizard, along with the rest of Ash's Pokémon at the lab, reunited with Ash in ''[[JN114|Friends, Rivals, Lend Me Your Spirit!]]''. During the visit, he helped train [[Ash's Gengar]] to learn {{m|Will-O-Wisp}}, and later watched the battle between Ash and [[Paul]]. Before Ash left, he posed with the rest of Ash's Pokémon in a group photo with him.<br />
<br />
From ''[[JN118|Battling as Hard as Stone!]]'' onwards, Charizard watched Ash's [[Masters Eight Tournament]] matches against {{an|Steven Stone|Steven}}, {{an|Cynthia}}, and {{an|Leon}}. In ''[[JN132|Partners in Time!]]'', Charizard appeared as a vision to Pikachu during his battle against [[Leon's Charizard]]. After Ash won the battle, Charizard joined the rest of Ash's Pokémon at the lab in celebrating their Trainer's victory.<br />
[[File:Ash Bulbasaur Charizard Squirtle.png|thumb|left|250px|Charizard, Bulbasaur, and Squirtle]]<br />
In ''[[JN135|Heroes Unite!]]'', Charizard, along with the rest of the Pokémon at the lab, welcomed Ash back to Pallet Town after his victory over Leon.<br />
<br />
In ''[[JN141|A Squad's Worth of Passion!]]'', Ash and his friends discovered Squirtle had become a performer, and Charizard and Bulbasaur were sent out to enjoy the show. They tried to meet up with Squirtle directly after the performance but were misled by Team Rocket and left. They were later able to meet up with Squirtle at their hotel, but Squirtle, upset over the idea that its friends no longer cared for it, attacked them. Charizard didn't hesitate to fight back, with Bulbasaur trying and failing to stop it. Ash broke it up, and Charizard and Bulbasaur left feeling upset. Later, a fire broke out at a warehouse, and the group found the [[Squirtle Squad]] giving their all to stop it. Deciding their feud wasn't worth it, Charizard and Bulbasaur joined the Tiny Turtle Pokémon in putting it out and rescuing the Pokémon trapped by the flames. Afterward, [[Officer Jenny]] arrived to take the Squirtle Squad to their next assignment, but not before sharing a heartfelt goodbye with the group.<br />
<br />
In ''[[JN147|The Rainbow and the Pokémon Master!]]'', Charizard assisted Ash in looking for a missing Charmander around Oak's lab, but to no avail.<br />
{{-}}<br />
<br />
====Personality and characteristics====<br />
{{bulbanews|Personality & Development: Ash's Charizard}}<br />
The emotional turmoil of being abandoned by [[Damian]] defined Charizard when he was a Charmander. Despite the scorn he received from Damian, he loyally waited outside for his return, convinced that he had a good relationship when, in fact, none had existed. Only a violent confrontation revealed the unhealthy nature of his relationship with Damian. Charmander struggled with this abandonment-in ''[[EP017|Island of the Giant Pokémon]]'', he became discouraged when {{AP|Bulbasaur}} suggested that Ash had abandoned them all. Charmander was markedly shy and shown to be anxious, though his confidence quickly grew under Ash's guidance.<br />
<br />
[[File:Ash Charizard disobedience.png|thumb|left|250px|Charizard refusing to battle against [[Sparky]]]]<br />
Despite being one of Ash's most often used Pokémon, Charmander's [[Evolution]] saw Charmeleon grow distant from Ash, scorning all of his former friends and seeking power alone. Charmeleon had become like Damian, obsessed with power and reputation while ignoring the value of friendship, loyalty, and kindness. Charmeleon's battle with {{p|Aerodactyl}} in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]'' was purely based on a bruised ego, and Charizard's later battles with {{TP|Blaine|Magmar}} and [[Zippo]] were solely out of grudging respect for their battling ability, and in the case of the post-league celebration, the destruction of the food. Charizard's unhealthy disobedience even cost Ash the Indigo League when he refused to battle any Pokémon he didn't think was worthy. Nevertheless, he did retain some degree of loyalty to his master and his fellow Pokémon, as the aforementioned incident with Aerodactyl had Charizard barely swooping in to save Ash before completely falling asleep while being affected by Jigglypuff's singing and also saving Pikachu after Team Rocket blasted off before resuming his rampage, with ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'' even having Charizard crying for Ash when he ended up petrified.<br />
<br />
[[File:Ash Charizard Iris Dragonite.png|thumb|250px|Charizard's rivalry with Iris's Dragonite]]<br />
Once Ash made the selfless act to save Charizard from freezing in ''[[EP105|Charizard Chills]]'', Charizard finally shook off the poisonous personality traits left by Damian and regained full loyalty to Ash. His ability to work as part of a team was still hampered, but when working together with {{AP|Pikachu}} to defeat [[Luana]], he finally managed to overcome that difficulty. Since this point, Charizard has been willing to assist Ash in any battle, ranging from [[Casey's Chikorita]] to [[Falkner]]'s Pidgeot with no complaint. However, Charizard maintained the rebellious Flamethrower attacks as a sign of affection for Ash, and while Charizard was loyal, his love of power and reputation remained. This was shown significantly in his departure in ''[[EP134|Charizard's Burning Ambitions]]'', where he brashly challenged each of the wild Charizard at [[Charicific Valley]] even though he was defeated every time.<br />
<br />
Despite retaining his fiery nature and fierce battling spirit, Charizard's return to Ash's regular command in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]'' showed that he had significantly matured throughout {{jo|Liza}}'s training regime. This was displayed in ''[[BW136|A Pokémon of a Different Color!]]'', where he attempted to act as a peacemaker between [[Clair]] and {{an|Iris}}'s two squabbling {{p|Dragonite}}. During his time at Professor Oak's lab, Charizard became very good friends with Ash's Fire types and is usually seen hanging out with them, as shown in ''[[JN068|Advice to Goh!]]'' and ''[[JN114|Friends, Rivals, Lend Me Your Spirit!]]''. Charizard also befriended {{AP|Gengar}} when it visited the lab.<br />

===''I Choose You!''===<br />
[[File:Ash Charizard M20.png|thumb|250px|Ash's Charizard in ''I Choose You!'']]<br />
Charizard appeared in ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'', which is set in [[I Choose You! trilogy|a different continuity]] from {{aniseries|PTS}}. In this continuity, it was the second Pokémon {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|M20|Ash}} caught on his journey.<br />
[[File:Cross and Charmander.png|left|thumb|250px|As a Charmander with Cross]]<br />
As a {{p|Charmander}}, it originally belonged to a Pokémon Trainer named [[Cross]]. Cross deemed Charmander too weak however, and abandoned it and told it to stop following him. Charmander was eventually found in the rain by Ash and [[Verity]]. After arguing briefly with Cross over his decision to abandon Charmander, they took it and went inside a cave to seek shelter from the rain. There, they found [[Sorrel]], who brought Charmander back to good health.<br />
<br />
The following day, Charmander had fully recovered and Ash offered it to join his team. Charmander accepted, despite still feeling loyalty towards Cross. Charmander joined Ash, Verity, and Sorrel on their journey towards the [[Mount Tensei|Raizen Mountains]] to meet {{an|Ho-Oh}}. After a battle against a {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s {{p|Jigglypuff}}, Charmander evolved into Charmeleon. Soon after, Ash encountered Cross again and started a battle with him. Ash used Charmeleon against its former Trainer and his {{p|Incineroar}}. Charmeleon proved to be no match for Incineroar however and was defeated. Ash started to question himself and faulted the loss on Charmeleon, but later apologized when he realized his errors.<br />
<br />
Finally reaching the Raizen Mountains, Ash tried to place his [[Rainbow Wing]] atop Rainbow Rock. He was stopped by Cross however, who wanted to take the Rainbow Wing for himself. Ash battled Cross again, once again using his Charmeleon against Cross and his Incineroar. In the midst of a fierce battle, Charmeleon evolved into Charizard, and this time, it managed to defeat it. Distraught of losing against his former Pokémon, Cross started to realize the error in his ways.<br />
<br />
====Personality and characteristics====<br />
[[File:Ash and Charizard M20.png|250px|thumb|Charizard and Ash]]<br />
Unlike his animated series counterpart, Charizard has always been obedient to Ash, as well as retaining loyalty to his former Trainer Cross so that even after being assaulted by him, Charmander wanted to return to travel alongside him.<br />
<br />
Charizard over time ended up becoming a powerhouse on Ash's team, being able to beat Cross's {{p|Incineroar}} and thus show all his power to his former Trainer.<br />

Charizard, in all three of his stages, appears in a flashback during the [[special event]] {{DL|Special event|The Classic Thunderbolt}} in {{g|Masters EX}}.<br />

==In the manga==<br />
===Ash & Pikachu===<br />
[[File:Ash Charizard AP.png|thumb|200px|Charizard in [[Ash & Pikachu]]]]<br />
Ash's Charizard appeared in ''[[SP33|Off To The Battle Frontier!!]]''. It was excited to see Ash when he called it over as it was sent for training earlier. After arrival, Ash sent it out to battle [[Noland's Articuno]]. During the battle, it struggled to keep up with Articuno despite the type advantage due to the fact that Articuno's speed was quicker than Charizard's in terms of reflexes. However, Charizard focused in on where Articuno was going to strike next and defeated it, earning Ash the Knowledge Symbol.<br />

===The Electric Tale of Pikachu===<br />
[[File:Ash Charizard EToP.png|thumb|230px|left|Charizard in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]]]<br />
{{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]].<br />
<br />
Despite this difference, Ash is still seen owning a Charmander, which first appeared in ''[[ET08|You Gotta Have Friends]]''. Charmander's capture was not shown in the manga, instead, it was explained that "Ash has been busy since the last comic!" when Charmander first appeared from its {{i|Poké Ball}}. Charmander was first seen when a lonely Ash decided to play with his other Pokémon while {{AP|Pikachu|Pikachu (EToP)}} was off playing with a group of Pikachu. Charmander simply set Ash on fire while his {{p|Oddish}} {{status|paralysis|paralyzed}} him with {{m|Stun Spore}}.<br />
<br />
In ''[[ET12|Welcome to the Big Leagues]]'', at the 88th [[Indigo Plateau Conference|Pokémon League]], Ash presented his Charmander, now fully evolved into a Charizard, to {{an|Brock}} and {{an|Misty}}. Despite the fact that Ash wanted to use Charizard as a secret weapon, Charizard refused to listen to him unless he held a special flare that burned with the fire of a {{p|Moltres}}. Due to the fact that the flare burns out quickly and Ash could lose points for using a prop, he decided to not use it and rely on his other Pokémon instead.<br />
<br />
[[File:Ash Charizard violent.png|thumb|230px|Charizard violently attacking Ritchie's Charley]]<br />
In ''[[ET13|The Indigo Finals]]'', during the fifth round of the Pokémon League, Ash sent out Charizard as his third and last Pokémon in his match against [[Ritchie]]. Ritchie countered with his own Charizard, named [[Zippo|Charley]]. Though evenly matched at first, Charizard went into a violent frenzy and mercilessly started scratching, biting, and burning Charley. Ash attempted to stop this mauling with his flare, but Charizard ignored it and continued to attack Charley, heavily injuring it and splattering its blood everywhere. Refusing to keep the fight going on this way, Ash made the choice to [[recall]] Charizard. Since Charizard had left the battle and Charley was still standing despite its injuries, Ritchie was declared the winner, ending Ash's run in the Pokémon League.<br />
<br />
Charizard appeared again in ''[[ET16|You Bet Your Wife]]'', where Ash decided to use it in a dance competition in his Gym battle against [[Rudy]]. After flying around in circles, Charizard set Ash aflame as it did in its first appearance.<br />
<br />
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.<br />

Ash's Charizard first appeared in {{ma|Mirage Pokémon Lugia's Explosive Birth}}. Ash sent it out along with {{AP|Squirtle}} and {{AP|Bulbasaur}} to free the {{OBP|legendary birds|M02}} from their prisons.<br />
<br />
====Genesect and the Legend Awakened====<br />
Charizard reappeared in {{ma|Genesect and the Legend Awakened}}, where Ash sent it out along with his other Pokémon while he was in [[Pokémon Hills]].<br />

<br />
====''I Choose You!''====<br />
[[File:Ash Charizard M20 manga.png|thumb|200px|Charizard in ''{{ma|I Choose You!}}'']]<br />
Charizard appeared in {{ma|I Choose You!}}. It was first shown as a Charmander where [[Cross]] got it from {{an|Professor Oak}}. Later, Cross was revealed to have abandoned Charmander when {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|M20|Ash}} encountered it out in the rain. After Ash and [[Verity]] took Charmander in a cave to recover, [[Sorrel]] helped it back to good health.<br />
<br />
The next day, Ash offered Charmander to join his team and Charmander accepted. It then battled a {{p|Jigglypuff}} and defeated it, which resulted in it evolving into a Charmeleon. Charmeleon battled Cross's {{p|Incineroar}}. During the battle, it kept on damaging Incineroar, something that Cross allowed. However, it turned out to be part of Cross's plan as Incineroar's strength increased by every attack Charmeleon threw at it. Because of that, Incineroar was able to defeat Charmeleon with {{m|Cross Chop}}.<br />
<br />
After Ash and {{ashfr}} reached the [[Mount Tensei|Raizen Mountains]] and encountered Cross again, Charmeleon was used in the rematch against Cross's Incineroar. During the battle, Charmeleon evolved into Charizard and defeated Incineroar. When {{OBP|Marshadow|M20}} became corrupted by the evil tainting it because of Cross placing the Rainbow Wing on top of the rock instead of Ash, Charizard protected Cross from an attack coming from {{p|Lycanroc}} when Marshadow possessed it and took part in the battle against the other Pokémon possessed by Marshadow. After Ash disappeared from existence because of a combined attack coming from Marshadow's army, Charizard and the others were saddened to see that happen. Charizard became happy when Ash was revived.<br />

Charizard, as a Charmander, belonged to a Trainer named [[Cross]]. Cross released Charmander as he deemed it weak and then Ash eventually caught Charmander. Later, Charmander evolved into a Charmeleon.<br />
<br />
In [[ICYR3]], Charmeleon was sent out to take on three {{p|Nidoking}} at [[Mount Tensei]]. Charmeleon's {{m|Flamethrower}} caused the Nidoking to go running. Later, it was used to battle Cross's Incineroar. During the battle, Cross's Incineroar got the upper hand but Charmeleon evolved into Charizard when it was about to lose. Using its newfound power, Charizard defeated Incineroar with Seismic Toss. Charizard then faced off against Cross's Lycanroc but the outcome was unknown.<br />

==Trivia==<br />
[[File:Ash Charizard greeting.png|thumb|250px|Charizard greeting Ash with {{m|Flamethrower}}]]<br />

* Charizard is the only one of Ash's Pokémon to start refusing to [[Obedience|obey]] him only after evolving.<br />
* Prior to ''[[EP105|Charizard Chills]]'', Charizard only seemed to obey Ash when fighting another Fire-type Pokémon: he was obedient when battling against [[Blaine's Magmar]], {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}}'s cloned {{p|Charizard}}, and [[Zippo]].<br />

* Out of all of Ash's Pokémon, Charizard holds the record for having the most amount of episodes between his capture and being left in {{an|Professor Oak}}'s care while remaining under Ash's ownership the entire time, at 788 episodes.<br />
* Out of all of Ash's first partner Pokémon, Charizard took the shortest amount of episodes to reach its final form, at 35.<br />
* Charizard has used the most regular moves out of any individual Pokémon featured in the animated series, with a total of 17. The record of most moves used overall, however, is held by [[Leon's Charizard]], at 20, followed closely by [[Ash's Pikachu]], at 19.<br />

'''Ash's Charizard''' (Japanese: '''サトシのリザードン''' ''Satoshi's Lizardon'') was the fourth {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that {{Ash}} {{pkmn2|caught}} in the [[Kanto]] [[region]], and his fifth overall.<br />

;With Damian<br />
[[File:Damian Charmander.png|thumb|left|220px|Charmander and Damian]]<br />
Charizard originally belonged to a boastful {{pkmn|Trainer}} named [[Damian]] when it was a Charmander. However, in ''[[EP011|Charmander - The Stray Pokémon]]'', Damian grew tired of Charmander being weak, and so he abandoned him, leaving him on a rocky outcrop and telling him that he would come back later. Charmander's health deteriorated, but he was able to resist capture by {{Ash}} twice before explaining to {{AP|Pikachu}} that he was waiting for Damian. Later, Ash met Damian and learned he never planned to return for Charmander. Outraged but mostly concerned for Charmander, who was now stuck out in the rain loyally awaiting Damian, {{an|Brock}}, Ash, and {{an|Misty}} rushed to his rescue, with Brock carrying him to the [[Pokémon Center]] while Ash sheltered the little remaining tail flame with his coat.<br />
[[File:Ash Charmander waiting for Damian.png|thumb|250px|Charmander waiting in the rain for Damian]]<br />
Despite the care shown to him, Charmander was unwilling to remain at the Pokémon Center and returned to the rock where he had been staying. However, he came across {{TRT}}, who had stolen Pikachu. Charmander ordered them to return Pikachu, and when they ignored him, he blasted them with a Flamethrower to send them running away, leaving behind Pikachu. Ash invited Charmander to join them, but Damian turned up with many {{i|Poké Ball}}s and said that he had intentionally abandoned Charmander to toughen him up. Damian threw a Poké Ball at him, but Charmander deflected the Ball in defiance. Having seen Damian's character, Charmander staunchly refused to return, and when Damian threatened to crush him with all of his other Pokémon, he attacked Damian with a Flamethrower attack alongside Pikachu, who used {{m|Thunder Shock}}. Damian fled, and Charmander happily joined Ash's team instead.<br />
<br />
;With Ash<br />
Charmander immediately became one of Ash's main Pokémon, being used in the [[EP012|very next episode]] as a torch to help Ash through the caves. He also joined a group of other Charmander on the [[S.S. Anne|St. Anne]] in ''[[EP015|Battle Aboard the St. Anne]]'' to repel {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s. [[EP016|Later]], Charmander used Flamethrower to torch a hole in the capsized St. Anne's hull, allowing the group and Team Rocket to escape the ship.<br />
<br />
Charmander was separated from Ash in ''[[EP017|Island of the Giant Pokémon]]''—along with Pikachu, {{AP|Bulbasaur}}, and {{AP|Squirtle}}—after a group of {{p|Gyarados}} sent them flying with {{m|Dragon Rage}}. During the separation, Charmander tried to remain optimistic about their Trainer's whereabouts, despite Bulbasaur's belief that they were abandoned and Squirtle's jokes that he'd been eaten. When Ash's Pokémon came across Team Rocket's Pokémon, who were also separated from their Trainers, the two groups of Pokémon joined forces to look for them. The next day, the group came across a group of giant Pokémon and ended up being chased by them straight to Ash, his friends, and Team Rocket, allowing them to reunite.<br />
<br />
In ''[[EP023|The Tower of Terror]]'', Charmander lit the way through [[Pokémon Tower]] during Ash's search for a {{t|Ghost}}-type Pokémon to challenge the [[Saffron City]] Gym Leader [[Sabrina]]. Although frightened, Charmander tried to be brave for his Trainer. He attempted to use {{m|Leer}} against a {{TP|Sabrina|Haunter}}, but the wild Pokémon laughed off the attempt and attacked Charmander with {{m|Lick}}, forcing Ash to recall him. The Haunter took a liking to Ash and agreed to help him challenge Sabrina in [[EP024|the following episode]], but disappeared when it came time to battle. Ash attempted to send Charmander out to fight, but it refused to step into the ring with Sabrina's {{TP|Sabrina|Kadabra}}.<br />
<br />
In ''[[EP025|Primeape Goes Bananas]]'', Charmander battled a berserk {{AP|Primeape}}. He finally subdued his opponent using {{m|Rage}} and Flamethrower. Charmander made his Gym Battle debut in [[EP026|the next episode]], where he defeated [[Erika]]'s {{p|Weepinbell}} after burning {{m|Razor Leaf}} and then striking a powerful Skull Bash. However, in the next round, the pure stench emitting from her {{p|Gloom}} caused Charmander to choke and faint. Ash called on Charmander's assistance against [[Koga]] in ''[[EP032|The Ninja Poké-Showdown]]''. He went up against Koga's {{p|Venomoth}} briefly before their match was interrupted by Team Rocket. For the official Gym battle, Charmander went up against [[Koga's Golbat]] and defeated it with Ember and Fire Spin, earning Ash the {{Badge|Soul}}.<br />
[[File:Ash Charmeleon disobedience.png|thumb|left|250px|Charmeleon attacking Ash]]<br />
The rise in Charmander's battle [[experience]] reached its peak in ''[[EP043|The March of the Exeggutor Squad]]'', where he helped stop a large number of rampaging {{p|Exeggutor}}. Subsequently, Charmander [[Evolution|evolved]] into {{p|Charmeleon}}. However, in ''[[EP044|The Problem with Paras]]'', it was revealed that Charmeleon was no longer [[obedience|obedient]] to Ash, attacking a {{p|Paras}} when Ash was deliberately trying to lose to help Paras evolve. [[Lacy (EP044)|Cassandra's grandmother]] explained that Charmeleon's skill level had exceeded Ash's, and therefore he did not respect him. Ironically, a rampaging Charmeleon was stopped when Paras, desperately trying to avoid punishment, jabbed at him with a claw. After evolving into {{p|Parasect}}, it put Charmeleon to sleep with {{m|Spore}} and allowed Ash to [[recall]] him. Cassandra's grandmother warned Ash that he needed to learn to control Charmeleon.<br />
<br />
Ash stopped using his disobedient Charmeleon but tried again in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]'' to repel wild [[Fossil|Fossil Pokémon]], which he refused to do. When an {{p|Aerodactyl}} swooped past, knocking Charmeleon over, Charmeleon attempted to fight back. He then jumped up, grabbed the escaping Aerodactyl's tail, and followed it into the open air, but was soon shaken off. Upset, Charmeleon evolved into {{p|Charizard}} and flew after Aerodactyl to avenge his injured pride. When {{an|Jigglypuff}} began singing at Misty's request in a desperate attempt to save Ash, Charizard attempted to block out the sleep-bound effects of the song, to no avail. Nonetheless, he managed to catch Ash and put him on the ground before going to sleep, but unfortunately, retained his disobedience afterward.<br />
[[File:Ash Charizard newly evolved.png|thumb|250px|As a newly evolved {{p|Charizard}}]]<br />
Charizard's disobedience towards his Trainer began to cause Ash some serious problems during his {{pkmn|journey}}, losing the [[Cinnabar Gym]] battle against [[Blaine]] in ''[[EP058|Riddle Me This]]'', as he simply loafed off and allowed {{p|Rhydon}} an easy win after Charizard left the ring, causing Blaine to disqualify him from the match. In [[EP059|the next episode]], Charizard refused to help dam the volcano but changed his mind after seeing Blaine's powerful {{TP|Blaine|Magmar}} contributing. After working together, the duo were left with a burning desire to test each other's strength. Blaine allowed Ash to [[rematch]] him at the volcano's peak, and the two Pokémon seemed evenly matched. Magmar dropped Charizard into the lava, but Charizard regained the upper hand by dazing Magmar with an aerial {{m|Submission}} attack and then knocking it out with his powerful {{m|Seismic Toss}}, earning Ash the {{badge|Volcano}}.<br />
<br />
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 stomped the ground, causing the little Pikachu to be thrown into the air, and flapped his wings against it, blowing it far back. Deeming it an unworthy opponent, Charizard went to sleep, refusing to battle. Due to this, Charizard was disqualified and Ash lost the round, eliminating him from the tournament.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
======Orange Islands======<br />
Ash took Charizard with him to the [[Orange Islands]] despite his refusal to obey him. Ash had noticeably stopped trying to use him in battles, although in ''[[EP093|Navel Maneuvers]]'', Charizard, Pikachu, and Bulbasaur were used in the second round of the [[Navel Gym]] match between Ash and [[Danny]]. Charizard was initially unwilling to participate, and Danny nearly won. However, Charizard inadvertently helped when he tried to use Flamethrower on Ash but missed and carved an ice pillar into a sled. This meant Ash won the round and was able to continue the match.<br />
<br />
In ''[[EP098|A Way Off Day Off]]'', although he did not obey Ash, Charizard recognized the wisdom and formidable experience that [[Tracey's Scyther]] had, and the two teamed up to defeat Team Rocket. Scyther was the only Pokémon in the group whom Charizard respected.<br />
<br />
Charizard continued to ignore Ash during battles, such as in ''[[EP099|The Mandarin Island Miss Match]]''. Charizard took down a boy's {{p|Tauros}} with a single attack before flying away and rampaging the city. Ash was unable to recall him, and only the intervention of [[Lorelei|Prima]] and her {{p|Slowbro}} using {{m|Disable}} allowed Ash to stop Charizard.<br />
[[File:Ash Charizard frozen.png|thumb|left|250px|Being taken care of by Ash]]<br />
In ''[[EP105|Charizard Chills]]'', Charizard battled [[Tad]]'s {{p|Poliwrath}}. He blatantly refused to listen to Ash's commands, continuing to use Flamethrower despite having no effect on Poliwrath. Tad and Poliwrath resisted them until Poliwrath responded with a {{m|Water Gun}} that nearly doused the flame on Charizard's tail. He was then {{status|Freeze|frozen}} over by Poliwrath's {{m|Ice Beam}}, much to Ash's horror. Ash managed to smash the ice encasing Charizard's head, and Tad walked away scornfully, telling Ash that they would have a rematch when he could control Charizard. Ash lit a fire and thawed Charizard out before rubbing Charizard all over to help him regain his body heat. Pikachu pointed out that Ash's hands were rubbed raw, but Ash replied that he didn't mind and redoubled his efforts upon seeing that Charizard's tail flame was so small. Charizard woke up in a panic and tried to attack, but he was so cold that he could not produce a flame and passed out again. Misty provided a blanket, and Tracey kept the fires up while Pikachu watched the flame, but Ash worked throughout the night to help Charizard recover.<br />
<br />
The selfless act reminded Charizard of everything Ash had done for him since he was a Charmander. By morning, Charizard's respect and loyalty to Ash had returned, and he helped Ash rescue Pikachu from Team Rocket. Ash and Pikachu were briefly knocked out during the rescue, and Charizard became so incensed he learned Dragon Rage. In a rematch with Tad and Poliwrath, Charizard learned to dodge Ice Beam and knocked Poliwrath into the air before defeating it with Seismic Toss. <br />
<br />
During the events of ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'', Charizard aided Ash alongside Pikachu and Squirtle in freeing {{DL|Legendary birds (M02)|Moltres}} from [[Lawrence III]]'s clutches and also proceeded to encourage Ash with his task as the Chosen One alongside the rest of his Pokémon. He later aided Ash alongside Squirtle by pulling a discarded metal part. He also countered Moltres's flame blasts alongside Squirtle and Pikachu when the titans tried to attack them. However, he was ultimately forced to return to his Poké Ball after the titans simultaneously created a rift and a wall of ice barring Ash from continuing onward to [[Ice Island]].<br />
<br />
He participated in Ash's [[Kumquat Gym]] battle against [[Luana]] in ''[[EP108|Pokémon Double Trouble]]''. He fought Luana's {{p|Alakazam}} and {{p|Marowak}} alongside Pikachu in the series' first official [[Double Battle]]. The two Pokémon initially had trouble collaborating but eventually managed to work together: Pikachu helped to free Charizard from Alakazam's {{m|Psychic}}, and Charizard caught Pikachu after he was hit by Marowak's {{m|Body Slam}}. Charizard's skillful flying caused Marowak and Alakazam to knock each other out, earning Ash the {{badge|Jade Star}}.<br />
<br />
Charizard was also used in Ash's [[Orange League]] battle against {{OBP|Drake|Orange League}} in ''[[EP112|Enter the Dragonite]]''. Charizard defeated Drake's {{p|Electabuzz}} by blocking its electricity with Fire Spin and knocking it out with Seismic Toss. He also fought {{TP|Drake|Dragonite}}, but was hit by a powerful {{m|Water Gun}} and then {{m|Slam}}med into the ground. After a clash of Dragon Rages, Charizard fainted, but his attacks had begun to wear Dragonite down, paving the way for Pikachu to finish it off and give Ash the victory. Charizard was inducted into the [[Palace of Victory|Orange League Hall of Fame]] with Ash's other Pokémon.<br />
<br />
====={{aniseries|GS}}=====<br />
[[File:ValleyShipping.png|thumb|220px|With Charla]]<br />
Charizard also accompanied Ash on his journey to the [[Johto]] region, although it became apparent that he was unfairly superior to most of Ash's early competition. This was shown especially in ''[[EP118|The Double Trouble Header]]'', where Charizard easily defeated all three of {{an|Casey}}'s Pokémon, despite the disapproval of Misty and Brock. Team Rocket later capitalized on Casey's frustration, calling Charizard an illegal choice by Ash.<br />
<br />
Charizard was used to weaken and help Ash capture a {{AP|Chikorita}} in ''[[EP126|The Chikorita Rescue]]''. His massive size compared to her came into effect when Chikorita ran towards him and tried to attack; Charizard responded by placing his foot out and blowing a small puff of fire after being instructed by Ash to only weaken her. Charizard's puff of fire ended up on Chikorita's leaf and caused her to run around for a short amount of time before using {{m|Vine Whip}} to attack Charizard. Ash recalled Charizard after he and Chikorita fell into a large canvas of rocks.<br />
<br />
In ''[[EP131|Fighting Flyer with Fire]]'', he participated in Ash's first Johto Gym battle against [[Falkner]] at the [[Violet Gym]], where he battled Falkner's {{p|Pidgeot}}. Due to the latter's impressive {{stat|Speed}}, Charizard started at a disadvantage, with Pidgeot's {{m|Whirlwind}} reflecting his Flamethrower onto him. He was then knocked back down by a combination of {{m|Wing Attack}} and {{m|Quick Attack}}. Falkner told Ash to surrender, but Ash refused, and Charizard gained the strength to fight back and fly above Quick Attack. Charizard then baited Pidgeot, spinning around in midair when Pidgeot flew behind him and hitting it with Fire Spin before seizing it and hurling it into the ground with Seismic Toss. Pidgeot was knocked out, and Ash won the {{badge|Zephyr}}.<br />
[[File:Ash leaving Charizard.png|thumb|left|220px|Ash parting ways with Charizard]]<br />
In ''[[EP134|Charizard's Burning Ambitions]]'', Misty criticized Ash for using Charizard too often against fresh young Trainers, making him unbeatable but in an unfair way. Ash then met {{Jo|Liza}}, who taught Ash and Charizard how to fly together. After arriving in the [[Charicific Valley]], Charizard was humiliated by Liza's insults and proudly tried to show off his power. However, he was shown to be smaller and weaker than the wild Charizard who lived there. Charizard continued to pick fights and kept getting himself beaten until Liza locked them out of the Valley, having [[Charla]] throw Charizard into the lake and telling him and Ash to stay away until they had trained and reflected. Team Rocket sympathized with Charizard and helped him to stay awake in the lake, as well as making a false attempt to break into the Valley, allowing Charizard to defeat them and win acclaim from Liza, Charla, and the wild Charizard. Facing an emotional battle, Ash told Charizard that he did not want a weakling on his team and he would be fine without him, forcing Charizard to stay at the Valley to train and become more powerful. He then ran away from the Valley, knowing that if he stopped, he would not be able to say goodbye. Pikachu wished Charizard well and followed Ash, leaving his teammate and friend behind.<br />
<br />
In ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown: Entei]]'', Charizard saw news footage of {{OBP|Entei|M03}} abducting [[Delia Ketchum]] and Ash futilely pursuing them, so Charizard decided to leave the Charicific Valley briefly and flew to [[Greenfield]] in an attempt to help. Later that night, Charizard arrived just in time to catch Ash and Pikachu when Entei knocked them out of a tower. Charizard then battled Entei with Ash riding on its back, but though it was briefly able to send Entei flying with Fire Spin, [[Molly Hale]]'s reality-warping powers granted by the {{OBP|Unown|M03}} tipped the scales too much in Entei's favor, like when crystal spikes would emerge to impede Charizard's flight. Entei eventually pinned Charizard and prepared to hit it with a point-blank Fire Blast, but Molly came to her senses and convinced Entei to stop. Charizard, Pikachu, and Entei worked together to defeat the Unown when their powers went berserk and threatened to destroy everything, but this came at the cost of Entei's existence. With the crisis over, Charizard returned to the Charicific Valley.<br />
<br />
During his time in the Charicific Valley, Charizard took the role of Charla's bodyguard, and the two seem to have a sort of romantic relationship with each other. Liza occasionally visited the [[Dragon Holy Land]] in [[Blackthorn City]] with the two Charizard. One such visit was in ''[[EP253|Great Bowls of Fire!]]'', which coincidentally occurred when Ash was there for his final [[Johto]] Gym battle. Charizard helped Ash, [[Clair]], Pikachu, and {{TP|Clair|Dragonair}} calm the wild {{p|Dragonite}} that was rampaging in the Dragon Holy Land.<br />
<br />
In ''[[EP254|Better Eight Than Never]]'', Charizard battled against Clair's Dragonair in Ash's [[Blackthorn Gym]] rematch. He caused the water in the Gym's pool to evaporate with his Flamethrower and Fire Spin, thus depriving Dragonair of its protection. He then caught Dragonair with Seismic Toss and used Fire Spin to create a flaming twister to wear down Dragonair's defenses before it hit the ground and was knocked out, winning Ash the match and earning him the {{badge|Rising}}. Ash surprised Liza by sending him back for training afterwards, knowing that Charizard still had a lot to learn.<br />
[[File:Ash Charizard Gary Blastoise.png|thumb|250px|Charizard defeating Gary's Blastoise]]<br />
Ash later used Charizard in the [[Silver Conference]] during his fight against {{Gary}} in ''[[EP270|Can't Beat the Heat!]]'', as Brock had made a late-night call to Liza requesting Charizard for the battle. [[Gary's Blastoise]] and {{p|Scizor}} cut Ash's team down to only Charizard, who had to fight three opponents single-handedly. He managed to match Scizor's speed and took advantage of his significant type advantage, defeating Scizor with a single Flamethrower. Despite {{p|Golem}}'s weight preventing Charizard from using his Seismic Toss, Charizard overcame it with a powerful Dragon Rage attack. Charizard struggled against Gary's Blastoise, as it had supreme defensive capabilities and could keep Charizard at bay with Hydro Pump. Thinking outside the box, Ash told Charizard to superheat the field, which forced Blastoise to spend time cooling the molten rock. This created a huge steam cloud and allowed Charizard to seize Blastoise at close range. Blastoise could still use {{m|Withdraw}} to dodge Dragon Rage, so Charizard hurled Blastoise into the ground with Seismic Toss, defeating it and leaving Ash as the winner.<br />
<br />
Charizard was next used in Ash's fight against {{jo|Harrison}} in ''[[EP271|Playing with Fire!]]'', where he went up against [[Harrison's Blaziken]]. Blaziken's powerful legs and ability to maneuver in midair negated Charizard's aerial advantage. Each Pokémon hit hard blows on the other, and their Flamethrowers were shown to be equal in power. Blaziken even managed to get up after a devastating Seismic Toss, while Charizard took a {{m|Blaze Kick}} to the neck and continued on. A final clash between Flamethrower and Dragon Rage knocked both Pokémon down, but only Blaziken could get up, eliminating Ash from the tournament. Charizard once again returned to Charicific Valley. Later, it was revealed that he had injured Blaziken so badly that Harrison had to rest his primary battler in the next round, contributing to his later loss against [[Jon Dickson]].<br />
<br />
====={{aniseries|AG}}=====<br />
Charizard appeared in a flashback to Ash's battle against Harrison in ''[[AG003|There's no Place Like Hoenn]]''.<br />
[[File:AG136.png|thumb|left|220px|Charizard vs Articuno]]<br />
In ''[[AG136|The Symbol Life]]'', he returned for Ash's first {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} battle, where he took on [[Noland's Articuno]] at the {{gdis|Battle Factory|III}}. Ash and Charizard flew together, where Charizard demonstrated a far improved Flamethrower and that he had learned {{m|Dragon Breath}}. In battle, he showed he was a match even for the Legendary Pokémon, using Flamethrower to burn through {{m|Ice Beam}} and strike Articuno. However, Articuno did not take much damage from Flamethrower or Dragon Breath, blinding Charizard with {{m|Mist}} and then knocking him to the ground with {{m|Steel Wing}}. Articuno then inflicted serious damage with {{m|Water Pulse}} and froze Charizard's wing tip, crippling his movements. Finally, Charizard used Overheat, which he had just learned, to melt the ice. He then caught Articuno as it tried to use Steel Wing and struck with a Seismic Toss. Charizard collapsed but managed to get up just as Articuno passed out, giving Ash and Charizard the victory and earning Ash the [[Symbol|Knowledge Symbol]].<br />
<br />
Charizard also battled alongside Pikachu, Bulbasaur, and Squirtle in a four-on-four battle against {{an|Brandon}} at the [[Battle Pyramid]] in ''[[AG189|Gathering the Gang of Four!]]'', where he went up against {{p|Dusclops}}. Charizard had been training since his battle with Articuno and learned Steel Wing, but was put at a disadvantage when Dusclops used {{m|Confuse Ray}} and {{m|Mean Look}}, [[Escape prevention|forcing Charizard to keep battling]] in his baffled state, all the while taking damage from {{m|Will-O-Wisp}}. Finally, Charizard snapped out of his confusion and attacked with Dragon Breath, wearing both Pokémon down. However, an attempt to use Seismic Toss to finish the match cost Ash dearly, as the {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon simply dissipated and re-emerged safely at a distance, where a {{m|Shadow Punch}} took Charizard out and put Ash at a supreme disadvantage. However, Pikachu, Bulbasaur, and Squirtle managed to win the battle and the [[Symbol|Brave Symbol]]. After the match against Brandon, Charizard returned to Charicific Valley.<br />
<br />
====={{aniseries|BW}}=====<br />
======Unova======<br />
In ''[[BW116|The Fires of a Red-Hot Reunion!]]'', Ash and {{ashfr}} attended a [[Kanto Fair]], where one of the presentations featured the local [[first partner Pokémon]], involving a live-action show with a Charmander. This made Ash remember his own Charmander, prompting him to tell {{an|Iris}}, {{an|Cilan}}, and {{an|N}} about his Charizard. Filled with a desire to see his old friend again, Ash called {{an|Professor Oak}}, who, in exchange for [[Ash's Unfezant]], arranged to have Charizard sent over to him. While being introduced to everyone, Charizard immediately started a fiery rivalry with [[Iris's Dragonite]], which encouraged Ash and Iris to have a battle with their two stubborn Pokémon. During the battle, Charizard was shown to have learned Wing Attack, Slash, and Dragon Tail. He quickly gained the upper hand as not even Dragonite's Dragon Rush was able to hurt him, while Dragonite was taking serious damage from Charizard's Dragon Tail. Before it could be settled, the battle was called off by N. Ash then corrected Iris's misconception that Charizard was a {{t|Dragon}} type, upsetting her since she'd wanted to train one as well, and invited Charizard to rejoin his active team, which he happily agreed to.<br />
<br />
In ''[[BW117|Team Plasma's Pokémon Manipulation!]]'', Charizard was called out by Ash to once again fight Iris's Dragonite, who was this time being controlled by [[Colress]].<br />
[[File:Ash Charizard and Pignite.png|thumb|250px|Charizard and {{AP|Pignite}}]]<br />
In ''[[BW119|Meowth, Colress and Team Rivalry!]]'', Charizard was called out to help [[Ash's Pignite]], who had difficulty breathing through his nostrils because something was blocking it. Charizard lifted him up and tossed him to help, but it did not work. Eventually, the blockage was removed, much to everyone's delight.<br />
<br />
Later, in ''[[BW121|Team Plasma and the Awakening Ceremony!]]'', Charizard was sent out alongside the rest of Ash's team to help Ash and N dig up to the surface of the {{an|White Ruins}} after they had fallen into a pit. Charizard cleverly improvised a spinning Dragon Tail to help {{AP|Krookodile}} {{m|dig}} through the earth that {{AP|Oshawott}} had softened with {{m|Hydro Pump}}. While battling Team Plasma again, Charizard withstood many of Team Plasma's attacks before Pignite came to his aid. The two then launched an incredibly powerful double Flamethrower at Team Plasma's Pokémon. However, when Colress turned his mind control machine on them, Charizard was quickly recalled to his Poké Ball, along with Ash's other Pokémon.<br />
<br />
======Decolore Islands======<br />
[[File:Ash and Charizard.png|thumb|left|250px|Charizard and Ash]]<br />
In ''[[BW135|Mystery on a Deserted Island!]]'', Ash used Charizard to battle a wild {{p|Ninetales}} on [[Frond Island]].<br />
<br />
In ''[[BW136|A Pokémon of a Different Color!]],'' Charizard and Iris's Dragonite set off to search for Clair's Dragonite, who had been separated from Clair on an [[Cave Island|island]] in the [[Decolore Islands|Decolore Archipelago]]. After Iris's Dragonite found Clair's, Charizard brought the group to them, only to find the pair squabbling. Although Charizard attempted to stop the fighting, the two Dragonite knocked him away. Later on, Charizard continued to act as a peacemaker unsuccessfully; Ash eventually thanked him for trying and returned Charizard to his Poké Ball.<br />
<br />
In ''[[BW141|Best Wishes Until We Meet Again!]]'', Charizard, along with all of Ash's Pokémon, was stolen by Team Rocket. Later, after recovering all of their Pokémon, Ash used Charizard to attack [[Jessie's Frillish]], who was using {{m|Bubble Beam}} on Ash and company. Charizard easily defeated Frillish with Wing Attack and scorched [[James's Amoonguss]] with a supereffective Flamethrower. Charizard, alongside Pikachu, {{TP|Iris|Axew}}, and {{TP|Cilan|Pansage}}, subsequently sent Team Rocket blasting off.<br />
<br />
Charizard was reunited with all of Ash's Unova Pokémon at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] in ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]''. He joined the others in a group attack on Team Rocket with his Flamethrower to send them blasting off for the last time in ''Pokémon the Series: Black & White''. Charizard was left at the lab before Ash set off for the [[Kalos]] region. He later posed with the rest of Ash's Pokémon in a group photo with him.<br />

Charizard reappeared in a flashback in ''[[SM042|Alola, Kanto!]]''.<br />
<br />
====={{aniseries|JN}}=====<br />
[[File:Ash Kanto Pokémon JN132.png|thumb|250px|Charizard encouraging Pikachu in a vision]]<br />
In ''[[JN068|Advice to Goh!]]'', Charizard reunited with Ash during his visit to Professor Oak's Laboratory with [[Goh]]. Sometime before, Charizard had battled against [[Ash's Infernape]] before he had left the lab to battle {{p|Moltres}}.<br />
<br />
Charizard, along with the rest of Ash's Pokémon at the lab, reunited with Ash in ''[[JN114|Friends, Rivals, Lend Me Your Spirit!]]''. During the visit, he helped train [[Ash's Gengar]] to learn {{m|Will-O-Wisp}}, and later watched the battle between Ash and [[Paul]]. Before Ash left, he posed with the rest of Ash's Pokémon in a group photo with him.<br />
<br />
From ''[[JN118|Battling as Hard as Stone!]]'' onwards, Charizard watched Ash's [[Masters Eight Tournament]] matches against {{an|Steven Stone|Steven}}, {{an|Cynthia}}, and {{an|Leon}}. In ''[[JN132|Partners in Time!]]'', Charizard appeared as a vision to Pikachu during his battle against [[Leon's Charizard]]. After Ash won the battle, Charizard joined the rest of Ash's Pokémon at the lab in celebrating their Trainer's victory.<br />
[[File:Ash Bulbasaur Charizard Squirtle.png|thumb|left|250px|Charizard, Bulbasaur, and Squirtle]]<br />
In ''[[JN135|Heroes Unite!]]'', Charizard, along with the rest of the Pokémon at the lab, welcomed Ash back to Pallet Town after his victory over Leon.<br />
<br />
In ''[[JN141|A Squad's Worth of Passion!]]'', Ash and his friends discovered Squirtle had become a performer, and Charizard and Bulbasaur were sent out to enjoy the show. They tried to meet up with Squirtle directly after the performance but were misled by Team Rocket and left. They were later able to meet up with Squirtle at their hotel, but Squirtle, upset over the idea that its friends no longer cared for it, attacked them. Charizard didn't hesitate to fight back, with Bulbasaur trying and failing to stop it. Ash broke it up, and Charizard and Bulbasaur left feeling upset. Later, a fire broke out at a warehouse, and the group found the [[Squirtle Squad]] giving their all to stop it. Deciding their feud wasn't worth it, Charizard and Bulbasaur joined the Tiny Turtle Pokémon in putting it out and rescuing the Pokémon trapped by the flames. Afterward, [[Officer Jenny]] arrived to take the Squirtle Squad to their next assignment, but not before sharing a heartfelt goodbye with the group.<br />
<br />
In ''[[JN147|The Rainbow and the Pokémon Master!]]'', Charizard assisted Ash in looking for a missing Charmander around Oak's lab, but to no avail.<br />
{{-}}<br />
<br />
====Personality and characteristics====<br />
{{bulbanews|Personality & Development: Ash's Charizard}}<br />
The emotional turmoil of being abandoned by [[Damian]] defined Charizard when he was a Charmander. Despite the scorn he received from Damian, he loyally waited outside for his return, convinced that he had a good relationship when, in fact, none had existed. Only a violent confrontation revealed the unhealthy nature of his relationship with Damian. Charmander struggled with this abandonment-in ''[[EP017|Island of the Giant Pokémon]]'', he became discouraged when {{AP|Bulbasaur}} suggested that Ash had abandoned them all. Charmander was markedly shy and shown to be anxious, though his confidence quickly grew under Ash's guidance.<br />
<br />
[[File:Ash Charizard disobedience.png|thumb|left|250px|Charizard refusing to battle against [[Sparky]]]]<br />
Despite being one of Ash's most often used Pokémon, Charmander's [[Evolution]] saw Charmeleon grow distant from Ash, scorning all of his former friends and seeking power alone. Charmeleon had become like Damian, obsessed with power and reputation while ignoring the value of friendship, loyalty, and kindness. Charmeleon's battle with {{p|Aerodactyl}} in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]'' was purely based on a bruised ego, and Charizard's later battles with {{TP|Blaine|Magmar}} and [[Zippo]] were solely out of grudging respect for their battling ability, and in the case of the post-league celebration, the destruction of the food. Charizard's unhealthy disobedience even cost Ash the Indigo League when he refused to battle any Pokémon he didn't think was worthy. Nevertheless, he did retain some degree of loyalty to his master and his fellow Pokémon, as the aforementioned incident with Aerodactyl had Charizard barely swooping in to save Ash before completely falling asleep while being affected by Jigglypuff's singing and also saving Pikachu after Team Rocket blasted off before resuming his rampage, with ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'' even having Charizard crying for Ash when he ended up petrified.<br />
<br />
[[File:Ash Charizard Iris Dragonite.png|thumb|250px|Charizard's rivalry with Iris's Dragonite]]<br />
Once Ash made the selfless act to save Charizard from freezing in ''[[EP105|Charizard Chills]]'', Charizard finally shook off the poisonous personality traits left by Damian and regained full loyalty to Ash. His ability to work as part of a team was still hampered, but when working together with {{AP|Pikachu}} to defeat [[Luana]], he finally managed to overcome that difficulty. Since this point, Charizard has been willing to assist Ash in any battle, ranging from [[Casey's Chikorita]] to [[Falkner]]'s Pidgeot with no complaint. However, Charizard maintained the rebellious Flamethrower attacks as a sign of affection for Ash, and while Charizard was loyal, his love of power and reputation remained. This was shown significantly in his departure in ''[[EP134|Charizard's Burning Ambitions]]'', where he brashly challenged each of the wild Charizard at [[Charicific Valley]] even though he was defeated every time.<br />
<br />
Despite retaining his fiery nature and fierce battling spirit, Charizard's return to Ash's regular command in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]'' showed that he had significantly matured throughout {{jo|Liza}}'s training regime. This was displayed in ''[[BW136|A Pokémon of a Different Color!]]'', where he attempted to act as a peacemaker between [[Clair]] and {{an|Iris}}'s two squabbling {{p|Dragonite}}. During his time at Professor Oak's lab, Charizard became very good friends with Ash's Fire types and is usually seen hanging out with them, as shown in ''[[JN068|Advice to Goh!]]'' and ''[[JN114|Friends, Rivals, Lend Me Your Spirit!]]''. Charizard also befriended {{AP|Gengar}} when it visited the lab.<br />

===''I Choose You!''===<br />
[[File:Ash Charizard M20.png|thumb|250px|Ash's Charizard in ''I Choose You!'']]<br />
Charizard appeared in ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'', which is set in [[I Choose You! trilogy|a different continuity]] from {{aniseries|PTS}}. In this continuity, it was the second Pokémon {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|M20|Ash}} caught on his journey.<br />
[[File:Cross and Charmander.png|left|thumb|250px|As a Charmander with Cross]]<br />
As a {{p|Charmander}}, it originally belonged to a Pokémon Trainer named [[Cross]]. Cross deemed Charmander too weak however, and abandoned it and told it to stop following him. Charmander was eventually found in the rain by Ash and [[Verity]]. After arguing briefly with Cross over his decision to abandon Charmander, they took it and went inside a cave to seek shelter from the rain. There, they found [[Sorrel]], who brought Charmander back to good health.<br />
<br />
The following day, Charmander had fully recovered and Ash offered it to join his team. Charmander accepted, despite still feeling loyalty towards Cross. Charmander joined Ash, Verity, and Sorrel on their journey towards the [[Mount Tensei|Raizen Mountains]] to meet {{an|Ho-Oh}}. After a battle against a {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s {{p|Jigglypuff}}, Charmander evolved into Charmeleon. Soon after, Ash encountered Cross again and started a battle with him. Ash used Charmeleon against its former Trainer and his {{p|Incineroar}}. Charmeleon proved to be no match for Incineroar however and was defeated. Ash started to question himself and faulted the loss on Charmeleon, but later apologized when he realized his errors.<br />
<br />
Finally reaching the Raizen Mountains, Ash tried to place his [[Rainbow Wing]] atop Rainbow Rock. He was stopped by Cross however, who wanted to take the Rainbow Wing for himself. Ash battled Cross again, once again using his Charmeleon against Cross and his Incineroar. In the midst of a fierce battle, Charmeleon evolved into Charizard, and this time, it managed to defeat it. Distraught of losing against his former Pokémon, Cross started to realize the error in his ways.<br />
<br />
====Personality and characteristics====<br />
[[File:Ash and Charizard M20.png|250px|thumb|Charizard and Ash]]<br />
Unlike his animated series counterpart, Charizard has always been obedient to Ash, as well as retaining loyalty to his former Trainer Cross so that even after being assaulted by him, Charmander wanted to return to travel alongside him.<br />
<br />
Charizard over time ended up becoming a powerhouse on Ash's team, being able to beat Cross's {{p|Incineroar}} and thus show all his power to his former Trainer.<br />

<br />
==In the manga==<br />
===Ash & Pikachu===<br />
[[File:Ash Charizard AP.png|thumb|200px|Charizard in [[Ash & Pikachu]]]]<br />
Ash's Charizard appeared in ''[[SP33|Off To The Battle Frontier!!]]''. It was excited to see Ash when he called it over as it was sent for training earlier. After arrival, Ash sent it out to battle [[Noland's Articuno]]. During the battle, it struggled to keep up with Articuno despite the type advantage due to the fact that Articuno's speed was quicker than Charizard's in terms of reflexes. However, Charizard focused in on where Articuno was going to strike next and defeated it, earning Ash the Knowledge Symbol.<br />

{{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]].<br />
<br />
Despite this difference, Ash is still seen owning a Charmander, which first appeared in ''[[ET08|You Gotta Have Friends]]''. Charmander's capture was not shown in the manga, instead, it was explained that "Ash has been busy since the last comic!" when Charmander first appeared from its {{i|Poké Ball}}. Charmander was first seen when a lonely Ash decided to play with his other Pokémon while {{AP|Pikachu|Pikachu (EToP)}} was off playing with a group of Pikachu. Charmander simply set Ash on fire while his {{p|Oddish}} {{status|paralysis|paralyzed}} him with {{m|Stun Spore}}.<br />
<br />
In ''[[ET12|Welcome to the Big Leagues]]'', at the 88th [[Indigo Plateau Conference|Pokémon League]], Ash presented his Charmander, now fully evolved into a Charizard, to {{an|Brock}} and {{an|Misty}}. Despite the fact that Ash wanted to use Charizard as a secret weapon, Charizard refused to listen to him unless he held a special flare that burned with the fire of a {{p|Moltres}}. Due to the fact that the flare burns out quickly and Ash could lose points for using a prop, he decided to not use it and rely on his other Pokémon instead.<br />
<br />
[[File:Ash Charizard violent.png|thumb|230px|Charizard violently attacking Ritchie's Charley]]<br />
In ''[[ET13|The Indigo Finals]]'', during the fifth round of the Pokémon League, Ash sent out Charizard as his third and last Pokémon in his match against [[Ritchie]]. Ritchie countered with his own Charizard, named [[Zippo|Charley]]. Though evenly matched at first, Charizard went into a violent frenzy and mercilessly started scratching, biting, and burning Charley. Ash attempted to stop this mauling with his flare, but Charizard ignored it and continued to attack Charley, heavily injuring it and splattering its blood everywhere. Refusing to keep the fight going on this way, Ash made the choice to [[recall]] Charizard. Since Charizard had left the battle and Charley was still standing despite its injuries, Ritchie was declared the winner, ending Ash's run in the Pokémon League.<br />
<br />
Charizard appeared again in ''[[ET16|You Bet Your Wife]]'', where Ash decided to use it in a dance competition in his Gym battle against [[Rudy]]. After flying around in circles, Charizard set Ash aflame as it did in its first appearance.<br />
<br />
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.<br />

====Mirage Pokémon Lugia's Explosive Birth====<br />
Ash's Charizard first appeared in {{ma|Mirage Pokémon Lugia's Explosive Birth}}. Ash sent it out along with {{AP|Squirtle}} and {{AP|Bulbasaur}} to free the {{OBP|legendary birds|M02}} from their prisons.<br />
<br />
====Genesect and the Legend Awakened====<br />
Charizard reappeared in {{ma|Genesect and the Legend Awakened}}, where Ash sent it out along with his other Pokémon while he was in [[Pokémon Hills]].<br />

====''I Choose You!''====<br />
[[File:Ash Charizard M20 manga.png|thumb|200px|Charizard in ''{{ma|I Choose You!}}'']]<br />
Charizard appeared in {{ma|I Choose You!}}. It was first shown as a Charmander where [[Cross]] got it from {{an|Professor Oak}}. Later, Cross was revealed to have abandoned Charmander when {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|M20|Ash}} encountered it out in the rain. After Ash and [[Verity]] took Charmander in a cave to recover, [[Sorrel]] helped it back to good health.<br />
<br />
The next day, Ash offered Charmander to join his team and Charmander accepted. It then battled a {{p|Jigglypuff}} and defeated it, which resulted in it evolving into a Charmeleon. Charmeleon battled Cross's {{p|Incineroar}}. During the battle, it kept on damaging Incineroar, something that Cross allowed. However, it turned out to be part of Cross's plan as Incineroar's strength increased by every attack Charmeleon threw at it. Because of that, Incineroar was able to defeat Charmeleon with {{m|Cross Chop}}.<br />
<br />
After Ash and {{ashfr}} reached the [[Mount Tensei|Raizen Mountains]] and encountered Cross again, Charmeleon was used in the rematch against Cross's Incineroar. During the battle, Charmeleon evolved into Charizard and defeated Incineroar. When {{OBP|Marshadow|M20}} became corrupted by the evil tainting it because of Cross placing the Rainbow Wing on top of the rock instead of Ash, Charizard protected Cross from an attack coming from {{p|Lycanroc}} when Marshadow possessed it and took part in the battle against the other Pokémon possessed by Marshadow. After Ash disappeared from existence because of a combined attack coming from Marshadow's army, Charizard and the others were saddened to see that happen. Charizard became happy when Ash was revived.<br />

Charizard, as a Charmander, belonged to a Trainer named [[Cross]]. Cross released Charmander as he deemed it weak and then Ash eventually caught Charmander. Later, Charmander evolved into a Charmeleon.<br />
<br />
In [[ICYR3]], Charmeleon was sent out to take on three {{p|Nidoking}} at [[Mount Tensei]]. Charmeleon's {{m|Flamethrower}} caused the Nidoking to go running. Later, it was used to battle Cross's Incineroar. During the battle, Cross's Incineroar got the upper hand but Charmeleon evolved into Charizard when it was about to lose. Using its newfound power, Charizard defeated Incineroar with Seismic Toss. Charizard then faced off against Cross's Lycanroc but the outcome was unknown.<br />

'''Ash's Charizard''' (Japanese: '''サトシのリザードン''' ''Satoshi's Lizardon'') was the fourth {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that {{Ash}} {{pkmn2|caught}} in the [[Kanto]] [[region]], and his fifth overall.<br />

;With Damian<br />
[[File:Damian Charmander.png|thumb|left|220px|Charmander and Damian]]<br />
Charizard originally belonged to a boastful {{pkmn|Trainer}} named [[Damian]] when it was a Charmander. However, in ''[[EP011|Charmander - The Stray Pokémon]]'', Damian grew tired of Charmander being weak, and so he abandoned him, leaving him on a rocky outcrop and telling him that he would come back later. Charmander's health deteriorated, but he was able to resist capture by {{Ash}} twice before explaining to {{AP|Pikachu}} that he was waiting for Damian. Later, Ash met Damian and learned he never planned to return for Charmander. Outraged but mostly concerned for Charmander, who was now stuck out in the rain loyally awaiting Damian, {{an|Brock}}, Ash, and {{an|Misty}} rushed to his rescue, with Brock carrying him to the [[Pokémon Center]] while Ash sheltered the little remaining tail flame with his coat.<br />
[[File:Ash Charmander waiting for Damian.png|thumb|250px|Charmander waiting in the rain for Damian]]<br />
Despite the care shown to him, Charmander was unwilling to remain at the Pokémon Center and returned to the rock where he had been staying. However, he came across {{TRT}}, who had stolen Pikachu. Charmander ordered them to return Pikachu, and when they ignored him, he blasted them with a Flamethrower to send them running away, leaving behind Pikachu. Ash invited Charmander to join them, but Damian turned up with many {{i|Poké Ball}}s and said that he had intentionally abandoned Charmander to toughen him up. Damian threw a Poké Ball at him, but Charmander deflected the Ball in defiance. Having seen Damian's character, Charmander staunchly refused to return, and when Damian threatened to crush him with all of his other Pokémon, he attacked Damian with a Flamethrower attack alongside Pikachu, who used {{m|Thunder Shock}}. Damian fled, and Charmander happily joined Ash's team instead.<br />
<br />
;With Ash<br />
Charmander immediately became one of Ash's main Pokémon, being used in the [[EP012|very next episode]] as a torch to help Ash through the caves. He also joined a group of other Charmander on the [[S.S. Anne|St. Anne]] in ''[[EP015|Battle Aboard the St. Anne]]'' to repel {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s. [[EP016|Later]], Charmander used Flamethrower to torch a hole in the capsized St. Anne's hull, allowing the group and Team Rocket to escape the ship.<br />
<br />
Charmander was separated from Ash in ''[[EP017|Island of the Giant Pokémon]]''—along with Pikachu, {{AP|Bulbasaur}}, and {{AP|Squirtle}}—after a group of {{p|Gyarados}} sent them flying with {{m|Dragon Rage}}. During the separation, Charmander tried to remain optimistic about their Trainer's whereabouts, despite Bulbasaur's belief that they were abandoned and Squirtle's jokes that he'd been eaten. When Ash's Pokémon came across Team Rocket's Pokémon, who were also separated from their Trainers, the two groups of Pokémon joined forces to look for them. The next day, the group came across a group of giant Pokémon and ended up being chased by them straight to Ash, his friends, and Team Rocket, allowing them to reunite.<br />
<br />
In ''[[EP023|The Tower of Terror]]'', Charmander lit the way through [[Pokémon Tower]] during Ash's search for a {{t|Ghost}}-type Pokémon to challenge the [[Saffron City]] Gym Leader [[Sabrina]]. Although frightened, Charmander tried to be brave for his Trainer. He attempted to use {{m|Leer}} against a {{TP|Sabrina|Haunter}}, but the wild Pokémon laughed off the attempt and attacked Charmander with {{m|Lick}}, forcing Ash to recall him. The Haunter took a liking to Ash and agreed to help him challenge Sabrina in [[EP024|the following episode]], but disappeared when it came time to battle. Ash attempted to send Charmander out to fight, but it refused to step into the ring with Sabrina's {{TP|Sabrina|Kadabra}}.<br />
<br />
In ''[[EP025|Primeape Goes Bananas]]'', Charmander battled a berserk {{AP|Primeape}}. He finally subdued his opponent using {{m|Rage}} and Flamethrower. Charmander made his Gym Battle debut in [[EP026|the next episode]], where he defeated [[Erika]]'s {{p|Weepinbell}} after burning {{m|Razor Leaf}} and then striking a powerful Skull Bash. However, in the next round, the pure stench emitting from her {{p|Gloom}} caused Charmander to choke and faint. Ash called on Charmander's assistance against [[Koga]] in ''[[EP032|The Ninja Poké-Showdown]]''. He went up against Koga's {{p|Venomoth}} briefly before their match was interrupted by Team Rocket. For the official Gym battle, Charmander went up against [[Koga's Golbat]] and defeated it with Ember and Fire Spin, earning Ash the {{Badge|Soul}}.<br />
[[File:Ash Charmeleon disobedience.png|thumb|left|250px|Charmeleon attacking Ash]]<br />
The rise in Charmander's battle [[experience]] reached its peak in ''[[EP043|The March of the Exeggutor Squad]]'', where he helped stop a large number of rampaging {{p|Exeggutor}}. Subsequently, Charmander [[Evolution|evolved]] into {{p|Charmeleon}}. However, in ''[[EP044|The Problem with Paras]]'', it was revealed that Charmeleon was no longer [[obedience|obedient]] to Ash, attacking a {{p|Paras}} when Ash was deliberately trying to lose to help Paras evolve. [[Lacy (EP044)|Cassandra's grandmother]] explained that Charmeleon's skill level had exceeded Ash's, and therefore he did not respect him. Ironically, a rampaging Charmeleon was stopped when Paras, desperately trying to avoid punishment, jabbed at him with a claw. After evolving into {{p|Parasect}}, it put Charmeleon to sleep with {{m|Spore}} and allowed Ash to [[recall]] him. Cassandra's grandmother warned Ash that he needed to learn to control Charmeleon.<br />
<br />
Ash stopped using his disobedient Charmeleon but tried again in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]'' to repel wild [[Fossil|Fossil Pokémon]], which he refused to do. When an {{p|Aerodactyl}} swooped past, knocking Charmeleon over, Charmeleon attempted to fight back. He then jumped up, grabbed the escaping Aerodactyl's tail, and followed it into the open air, but was soon shaken off. Upset, Charmeleon evolved into {{p|Charizard}} and flew after Aerodactyl to avenge his injured pride. When {{an|Jigglypuff}} began singing at Misty's request in a desperate attempt to save Ash, Charizard attempted to block out the sleep-bound effects of the song, to no avail. Nonetheless, he managed to catch Ash and put him on the ground before going to sleep, but unfortunately, retained his disobedience afterward.<br />
[[File:Ash Charizard newly evolved.png|thumb|250px|As a newly evolved {{p|Charizard}}]]<br />
Charizard's disobedience towards his Trainer began to cause Ash some serious problems during his {{pkmn|journey}}, losing the [[Cinnabar Gym]] battle against [[Blaine]] in ''[[EP058|Riddle Me This]]'', as he simply loafed off and allowed {{p|Rhydon}} an easy win after Charizard left the ring, causing Blaine to disqualify him from the match. In [[EP059|the next episode]], Charizard refused to help dam the volcano but changed his mind after seeing Blaine's powerful {{TP|Blaine|Magmar}} contributing. After working together, the duo were left with a burning desire to test each other's strength. Blaine allowed Ash to [[rematch]] him at the volcano's peak, and the two Pokémon seemed evenly matched. Magmar dropped Charizard into the lava, but Charizard regained the upper hand by dazing Magmar with an aerial {{m|Submission}} attack and then knocking it out with his powerful {{m|Seismic Toss}}, earning Ash the {{badge|Volcano}}.<br />
<br />
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 stomped the ground, causing the little Pikachu to be thrown into the air, and flapped his wings against it, blowing it far back. Deeming it an unworthy opponent, Charizard went to sleep, refusing to battle. Due to this, Charizard was disqualified and Ash lost the round, eliminating him from the tournament.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
======Orange Islands======<br />
Ash took Charizard with him to the [[Orange Islands]] despite his refusal to obey him. Ash had noticeably stopped trying to use him in battles, although in ''[[EP093|Navel Maneuvers]]'', Charizard, Pikachu, and Bulbasaur were used in the second round of the [[Navel Gym]] match between Ash and [[Danny]]. Charizard was initially unwilling to participate, and Danny nearly won. However, Charizard inadvertently helped when he tried to use Flamethrower on Ash but missed and carved an ice pillar into a sled. This meant Ash won the round and was able to continue the match.<br />
<br />
In ''[[EP098|A Way Off Day Off]]'', although he did not obey Ash, Charizard recognized the wisdom and formidable experience that [[Tracey's Scyther]] had, and the two teamed up to defeat Team Rocket. Scyther was the only Pokémon in the group whom Charizard respected.<br />
<br />
Charizard continued to ignore Ash during battles, such as in ''[[EP099|The Mandarin Island Miss Match]]''. Charizard took down a boy's {{p|Tauros}} with a single attack before flying away and rampaging the city. Ash was unable to recall him, and only the intervention of [[Lorelei|Prima]] and her {{p|Slowbro}} using {{m|Disable}} allowed Ash to stop Charizard.<br />
[[File:Ash Charizard frozen.png|thumb|left|250px|Being taken care of by Ash]]<br />
In ''[[EP105|Charizard Chills]]'', Charizard battled [[Tad]]'s {{p|Poliwrath}}. He blatantly refused to listen to Ash's commands, continuing to use Flamethrower despite having no effect on Poliwrath. Tad and Poliwrath resisted them until Poliwrath responded with a {{m|Water Gun}} that nearly doused the flame on Charizard's tail. He was then {{status|Freeze|frozen}} over by Poliwrath's {{m|Ice Beam}}, much to Ash's horror. Ash managed to smash the ice encasing Charizard's head, and Tad walked away scornfully, telling Ash that they would have a rematch when he could control Charizard. Ash lit a fire and thawed Charizard out before rubbing Charizard all over to help him regain his body heat. Pikachu pointed out that Ash's hands were rubbed raw, but Ash replied that he didn't mind and redoubled his efforts upon seeing that Charizard's tail flame was so small. Charizard woke up in a panic and tried to attack, but he was so cold that he could not produce a flame and passed out again. Misty provided a blanket, and Tracey kept the fires up while Pikachu watched the flame, but Ash worked throughout the night to help Charizard recover.<br />
<br />
The selfless act reminded Charizard of everything Ash had done for him since he was a Charmander. By morning, Charizard's respect and loyalty to Ash had returned, and he helped Ash rescue Pikachu from Team Rocket. Ash and Pikachu were briefly knocked out during the rescue, and Charizard became so incensed he learned Dragon Rage. In a rematch with Tad and Poliwrath, Charizard learned to dodge Ice Beam and knocked Poliwrath into the air before defeating it with Seismic Toss. <br />
<br />
During the events of ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'', Charizard aided Ash alongside Pikachu and Squirtle in freeing {{DL|Legendary birds (M02)|Moltres}} from [[Lawrence III]]'s clutches and also proceeded to encourage Ash with his task as the Chosen One alongside the rest of his Pokémon. He later aided Ash alongside Squirtle by pulling a discarded metal part. He also countered Moltres's flame blasts alongside Squirtle and Pikachu when the titans tried to attack them. However, he was ultimately forced to return to his Poké Ball after the titans simultaneously created a rift and a wall of ice barring Ash from continuing onward to [[Ice Island]].<br />
<br />
He participated in Ash's [[Kumquat Gym]] battle against [[Luana]] in ''[[EP108|Pokémon Double Trouble]]''. He fought Luana's {{p|Alakazam}} and {{p|Marowak}} alongside Pikachu in the series' first official [[Double Battle]]. The two Pokémon initially had trouble collaborating but eventually managed to work together: Pikachu helped to free Charizard from Alakazam's {{m|Psychic}}, and Charizard caught Pikachu after he was hit by Marowak's {{m|Body Slam}}. Charizard's skillful flying caused Marowak and Alakazam to knock each other out, earning Ash the {{badge|Jade Star}}.<br />
<br />
Charizard was also used in Ash's [[Orange League]] battle against {{OBP|Drake|Orange League}} in ''[[EP112|Enter the Dragonite]]''. Charizard defeated Drake's {{p|Electabuzz}} by blocking its electricity with Fire Spin and knocking it out with Seismic Toss. He also fought {{TP|Drake|Dragonite}}, but was hit by a powerful {{m|Water Gun}} and then {{m|Slam}}med into the ground. After a clash of Dragon Rages, Charizard fainted, but his attacks had begun to wear Dragonite down, paving the way for Pikachu to finish it off and give Ash the victory. Charizard was inducted into the [[Palace of Victory|Orange League Hall of Fame]] with Ash's other Pokémon.<br />
<br />

[[File:ValleyShipping.png|thumb|220px|With Charla]]<br />
Charizard also accompanied Ash on his journey to the [[Johto]] region, although it became apparent that he was unfairly superior to most of Ash's early competition. This was shown especially in ''[[EP118|The Double Trouble Header]]'', where Charizard easily defeated all three of {{an|Casey}}'s Pokémon, despite the disapproval of Misty and Brock. Team Rocket later capitalized on Casey's frustration, calling Charizard an illegal choice by Ash.<br />
<br />
Charizard was used to weaken and help Ash capture a {{AP|Chikorita}} in ''[[EP126|The Chikorita Rescue]]''. His massive size compared to her came into effect when Chikorita ran towards him and tried to attack; Charizard responded by placing his foot out and blowing a small puff of fire after being instructed by Ash to only weaken her. Charizard's puff of fire ended up on Chikorita's leaf and caused her to run around for a short amount of time before using {{m|Vine Whip}} to attack Charizard. Ash recalled Charizard after he and Chikorita fell into a large canvas of rocks.<br />
<br />
In ''[[EP131|Fighting Flyer with Fire]]'', he participated in Ash's first Johto Gym battle against [[Falkner]] at the [[Violet Gym]], where he battled Falkner's {{p|Pidgeot}}. Due to the latter's impressive {{stat|Speed}}, Charizard started at a disadvantage, with Pidgeot's {{m|Whirlwind}} reflecting his Flamethrower onto him. He was then knocked back down by a combination of {{m|Wing Attack}} and {{m|Quick Attack}}. Falkner told Ash to surrender, but Ash refused, and Charizard gained the strength to fight back and fly above Quick Attack. Charizard then baited Pidgeot, spinning around in midair when Pidgeot flew behind him and hitting it with Fire Spin before seizing it and hurling it into the ground with Seismic Toss. Pidgeot was knocked out, and Ash won the {{badge|Zephyr}}.<br />
[[File:Ash leaving Charizard.png|thumb|left|220px|Ash parting ways with Charizard]]<br />
In ''[[EP134|Charizard's Burning Ambitions]]'', Misty criticized Ash for using Charizard too often against fresh young Trainers, making him unbeatable but in an unfair way. Ash then met {{Jo|Liza}}, who taught Ash and Charizard how to fly together. After arriving in the [[Charicific Valley]], Charizard was humiliated by Liza's insults and proudly tried to show off his power. However, he was shown to be smaller and weaker than the wild Charizard who lived there. Charizard continued to pick fights and kept getting himself beaten until Liza locked them out of the Valley, having [[Charla]] throw Charizard into the lake and telling him and Ash to stay away until they had trained and reflected. Team Rocket sympathized with Charizard and helped him to stay awake in the lake, as well as making a false attempt to break into the Valley, allowing Charizard to defeat them and win acclaim from Liza, Charla, and the wild Charizard. Facing an emotional battle, Ash told Charizard that he did not want a weakling on his team and he would be fine without him, forcing Charizard to stay at the Valley to train and become more powerful. He then ran away from the Valley, knowing that if he stopped, he would not be able to say goodbye. Pikachu wished Charizard well and followed Ash, leaving his teammate and friend behind.<br />
<br />
In ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown: Entei]]'', Charizard saw news footage of {{OBP|Entei|M03}} abducting [[Delia Ketchum]] and Ash futilely pursuing them, so Charizard decided to leave the Charicific Valley briefly and flew to [[Greenfield]] in an attempt to help. Later that night, Charizard arrived just in time to catch Ash and Pikachu when Entei knocked them out of a tower. Charizard then battled Entei with Ash riding on its back, but though it was briefly able to send Entei flying with Fire Spin, [[Molly Hale]]'s reality-warping powers granted by the {{OBP|Unown|M03}} tipped the scales too much in Entei's favor, like when crystal spikes would emerge to impede Charizard's flight. Entei eventually pinned Charizard and prepared to hit it with a point-blank Fire Blast, but Molly came to her senses and convinced Entei to stop. Charizard, Pikachu, and Entei worked together to defeat the Unown when their powers went berserk and threatened to destroy everything, but this came at the cost of Entei's existence. With the crisis over, Charizard returned to the Charicific Valley.<br />
<br />
During his time in the Charicific Valley, Charizard took the role of Charla's bodyguard, and the two seem to have a sort of romantic relationship with each other. Liza occasionally visited the [[Dragon Holy Land]] in [[Blackthorn City]] with the two Charizard. One such visit was in ''[[EP253|Great Bowls of Fire!]]'', which coincidentally occurred when Ash was there for his final [[Johto]] Gym battle. Charizard helped Ash, [[Clair]], Pikachu, and {{TP|Clair|Dragonair}} calm the wild {{p|Dragonite}} that was rampaging in the Dragon Holy Land.<br />
<br />
In ''[[EP254|Better Eight Than Never]]'', Charizard battled against Clair's Dragonair in Ash's [[Blackthorn Gym]] rematch. He caused the water in the Gym's pool to evaporate with his Flamethrower and Fire Spin, thus depriving Dragonair of its protection. He then caught Dragonair with Seismic Toss and used Fire Spin to create a flaming twister to wear down Dragonair's defenses before it hit the ground and was knocked out, winning Ash the match and earning him the {{badge|Rising}}. Ash surprised Liza by sending him back for training afterwards, knowing that Charizard still had a lot to learn.<br />
[[File:Ash Charizard Gary Blastoise.png|thumb|250px|Charizard defeating Gary's Blastoise]]<br />
Ash later used Charizard in the [[Silver Conference]] during his fight against {{Gary}} in ''[[EP270|Can't Beat the Heat!]]'', as Brock had made a late-night call to Liza requesting Charizard for the battle. [[Gary's Blastoise]] and {{p|Scizor}} cut Ash's team down to only Charizard, who had to fight three opponents single-handedly. He managed to match Scizor's speed and took advantage of his significant type advantage, defeating Scizor with a single Flamethrower. Despite {{p|Golem}}'s weight preventing Charizard from using his Seismic Toss, Charizard overcame it with a powerful Dragon Rage attack. Charizard struggled against Gary's Blastoise, as it had supreme defensive capabilities and could keep Charizard at bay with Hydro Pump. Thinking outside the box, Ash told Charizard to superheat the field, which forced Blastoise to spend time cooling the molten rock. This created a huge steam cloud and allowed Charizard to seize Blastoise at close range. Blastoise could still use {{m|Withdraw}} to dodge Dragon Rage, so Charizard hurled Blastoise into the ground with Seismic Toss, defeating it and leaving Ash as the winner.<br />
<br />
Charizard was next used in Ash's fight against {{jo|Harrison}} in ''[[EP271|Playing with Fire!]]'', where he went up against [[Harrison's Blaziken]]. Blaziken's powerful legs and ability to maneuver in midair negated Charizard's aerial advantage. Each Pokémon hit hard blows on the other, and their Flamethrowers were shown to be equal in power. Blaziken even managed to get up after a devastating Seismic Toss, while Charizard took a {{m|Blaze Kick}} to the neck and continued on. A final clash between Flamethrower and Dragon Rage knocked both Pokémon down, but only Blaziken could get up, eliminating Ash from the tournament. Charizard once again returned to Charicific Valley. Later, it was revealed that he had injured Blaziken so badly that Harrison had to rest his primary battler in the next round, contributing to his later loss against [[Jon Dickson]].<br />
<br />
====={{aniseries|AG}}=====<br />
Charizard appeared in a flashback to Ash's battle against Harrison in ''[[AG003|There's no Place Like Hoenn]]''.<br />
[[File:AG136.png|thumb|left|220px|Charizard vs Articuno]]<br />
In ''[[AG136|The Symbol Life]]'', he returned for Ash's first {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} battle, where he took on [[Noland's Articuno]] at the {{gdis|Battle Factory|III}}. Ash and Charizard flew together, where Charizard demonstrated a far improved Flamethrower and that he had learned {{m|Dragon Breath}}. In battle, he showed he was a match even for the Legendary Pokémon, using Flamethrower to burn through {{m|Ice Beam}} and strike Articuno. However, Articuno did not take much damage from Flamethrower or Dragon Breath, blinding Charizard with {{m|Mist}} and then knocking him to the ground with {{m|Steel Wing}}. Articuno then inflicted serious damage with {{m|Water Pulse}} and froze Charizard's wing tip, crippling his movements. Finally, Charizard used Overheat, which he had just learned, to melt the ice. He then caught Articuno as it tried to use Steel Wing and struck with a Seismic Toss. Charizard collapsed but managed to get up just as Articuno passed out, giving Ash and Charizard the victory and earning Ash the [[Symbol|Knowledge Symbol]].<br />
<br />
Charizard also battled alongside Pikachu, Bulbasaur, and Squirtle in a four-on-four battle against {{an|Brandon}} at the [[Battle Pyramid]] in ''[[AG189|Gathering the Gang of Four!]]'', where he went up against {{p|Dusclops}}. Charizard had been training since his battle with Articuno and learned Steel Wing, but was put at a disadvantage when Dusclops used {{m|Confuse Ray}} and {{m|Mean Look}}, [[Escape prevention|forcing Charizard to keep battling]] in his baffled state, all the while taking damage from {{m|Will-O-Wisp}}. Finally, Charizard snapped out of his confusion and attacked with Dragon Breath, wearing both Pokémon down. However, an attempt to use Seismic Toss to finish the match cost Ash dearly, as the {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon simply dissipated and re-emerged safely at a distance, where a {{m|Shadow Punch}} took Charizard out and put Ash at a supreme disadvantage. However, Pikachu, Bulbasaur, and Squirtle managed to win the battle and the [[Symbol|Brave Symbol]]. After the match against Brandon, Charizard returned to Charicific Valley.<br />
<br />
====={{aniseries|BW}}=====<br />
======Unova======<br />
In ''[[BW116|The Fires of a Red-Hot Reunion!]]'', Ash and {{ashfr}} attended a [[Kanto Fair]], where one of the presentations featured the local [[first partner Pokémon]], involving a live-action show with a Charmander. This made Ash remember his own Charmander, prompting him to tell {{an|Iris}}, {{an|Cilan}}, and {{an|N}} about his Charizard. Filled with a desire to see his old friend again, Ash called {{an|Professor Oak}}, who, in exchange for [[Ash's Unfezant]], arranged to have Charizard sent over to him. While being introduced to everyone, Charizard immediately started a fiery rivalry with [[Iris's Dragonite]], which encouraged Ash and Iris to have a battle with their two stubborn Pokémon. During the battle, Charizard was shown to have learned Wing Attack, Slash, and Dragon Tail. He quickly gained the upper hand as not even Dragonite's Dragon Rush was able to hurt him, while Dragonite was taking serious damage from Charizard's Dragon Tail. Before it could be settled, the battle was called off by N. Ash then corrected Iris's misconception that Charizard was a {{t|Dragon}} type, upsetting her since she'd wanted to train one as well, and invited Charizard to rejoin his active team, which he happily agreed to.<br />
<br />
In ''[[BW117|Team Plasma's Pokémon Manipulation!]]'', Charizard was called out by Ash to once again fight Iris's Dragonite, who was this time being controlled by [[Colress]].<br />
[[File:Ash Charizard and Pignite.png|thumb|250px|Charizard and {{AP|Pignite}}]]<br />
In ''[[BW119|Meowth, Colress and Team Rivalry!]]'', Charizard was called out to help [[Ash's Pignite]], who had difficulty breathing through his nostrils because something was blocking it. Charizard lifted him up and tossed him to help, but it did not work. Eventually, the blockage was removed, much to everyone's delight.<br />
<br />
Later, in ''[[BW121|Team Plasma and the Awakening Ceremony!]]'', Charizard was sent out alongside the rest of Ash's team to help Ash and N dig up to the surface of the {{an|White Ruins}} after they had fallen into a pit. Charizard cleverly improvised a spinning Dragon Tail to help {{AP|Krookodile}} {{m|dig}} through the earth that {{AP|Oshawott}} had softened with {{m|Hydro Pump}}. While battling Team Plasma again, Charizard withstood many of Team Plasma's attacks before Pignite came to his aid. The two then launched an incredibly powerful double Flamethrower at Team Plasma's Pokémon. However, when Colress turned his mind control machine on them, Charizard was quickly recalled to his Poké Ball, along with Ash's other Pokémon.<br />
<br />
======Decolore Islands======<br />
[[File:Ash and Charizard.png|thumb|left|250px|Charizard and Ash]]<br />
In ''[[BW135|Mystery on a Deserted Island!]]'', Ash used Charizard to battle a wild {{p|Ninetales}} on [[Frond Island]].<br />
<br />
In ''[[BW136|A Pokémon of a Different Color!]],'' Charizard and Iris's Dragonite set off to search for Clair's Dragonite, who had been separated from Clair on an [[Cave Island|island]] in the [[Decolore Islands|Decolore Archipelago]]. After Iris's Dragonite found Clair's, Charizard brought the group to them, only to find the pair squabbling. Although Charizard attempted to stop the fighting, the two Dragonite knocked him away. Later on, Charizard continued to act as a peacemaker unsuccessfully; Ash eventually thanked him for trying and returned Charizard to his Poké Ball.<br />
<br />
In ''[[BW141|Best Wishes Until We Meet Again!]]'', Charizard, along with all of Ash's Pokémon, was stolen by Team Rocket. Later, after recovering all of their Pokémon, Ash used Charizard to attack [[Jessie's Frillish]], who was using {{m|Bubble Beam}} on Ash and company. Charizard easily defeated Frillish with Wing Attack and scorched [[James's Amoonguss]] with a supereffective Flamethrower. Charizard, alongside Pikachu, {{TP|Iris|Axew}}, and {{TP|Cilan|Pansage}}, subsequently sent Team Rocket blasting off.<br />
<br />
Charizard was reunited with all of Ash's Unova Pokémon at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] in ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]''. He joined the others in a group attack on Team Rocket with his Flamethrower to send them blasting off for the last time in ''Pokémon the Series: Black & White''. Charizard was left at the lab before Ash set off for the [[Kalos]] region. He later posed with the rest of Ash's Pokémon in a group photo with him.<br />
<br />
====={{aniseries|SM}}=====<br />
Charizard reappeared in a flashback in ''[[SM042|Alola, Kanto!]]''.<br />
<br />
====={{aniseries|JN}}=====<br />
[[File:Ash Kanto Pokémon JN132.png|thumb|250px|Charizard encouraging Pikachu in a vision]]<br />
In ''[[JN068|Advice to Goh!]]'', Charizard reunited with Ash during his visit to Professor Oak's Laboratory with [[Goh]]. Sometime before, Charizard had battled against [[Ash's Infernape]] before he had left the lab to battle {{p|Moltres}}.<br />
<br />
Charizard, along with the rest of Ash's Pokémon at the lab, reunited with Ash in ''[[JN114|Friends, Rivals, Lend Me Your Spirit!]]''. During the visit, he helped train [[Ash's Gengar]] to learn {{m|Will-O-Wisp}}, and later watched the battle between Ash and [[Paul]]. Before Ash left, he posed with the rest of Ash's Pokémon in a group photo with him.<br />
<br />
From ''[[JN118|Battling as Hard as Stone!]]'' onwards, Charizard watched Ash's [[Masters Eight Tournament]] matches against {{an|Steven Stone|Steven}}, {{an|Cynthia}}, and {{an|Leon}}. In ''[[JN132|Partners in Time!]]'', Charizard appeared as a vision to Pikachu during his battle against [[Leon's Charizard]]. After Ash won the battle, Charizard joined the rest of Ash's Pokémon at the lab in celebrating their Trainer's victory.<br />
[[File:Ash Bulbasaur Charizard Squirtle.png|thumb|left|250px|Charizard, Bulbasaur, and Squirtle]]<br />
In ''[[JN135|Heroes Unite!]]'', Charizard, along with the rest of the Pokémon at the lab, welcomed Ash back to Pallet Town after his victory over Leon.<br />
<br />
In ''[[JN141|A Squad's Worth of Passion!]]'', Ash and his friends discovered Squirtle had become a performer, and Charizard and Bulbasaur were sent out to enjoy the show. They tried to meet up with Squirtle directly after the performance but were misled by Team Rocket and left. They were later able to meet up with Squirtle at their hotel, but Squirtle, upset over the idea that its friends no longer cared for it, attacked them. Charizard didn't hesitate to fight back, with Bulbasaur trying and failing to stop it. Ash broke it up, and Charizard and Bulbasaur left feeling upset. Later, a fire broke out at a warehouse, and the group found the [[Squirtle Squad]] giving their all to stop it. Deciding their feud wasn't worth it, Charizard and Bulbasaur joined the Tiny Turtle Pokémon in putting it out and rescuing the Pokémon trapped by the flames. Afterward, [[Officer Jenny]] arrived to take the Squirtle Squad to their next assignment, but not before sharing a heartfelt goodbye with the group.<br />
<br />
In ''[[JN147|The Rainbow and the Pokémon Master!]]'', Charizard assisted Ash in looking for a missing Charmander around Oak's lab, but to no avail.<br />
{{-}}<br />
<br />
====Personality and characteristics====<br />
{{bulbanews|Personality & Development: Ash's Charizard}}<br />
The emotional turmoil of being abandoned by [[Damian]] defined Charizard when he was a Charmander. Despite the scorn he received from Damian, he loyally waited outside for his return, convinced that he had a good relationship when, in fact, none had existed. Only a violent confrontation revealed the unhealthy nature of his relationship with Damian. Charmander struggled with this abandonment-in ''[[EP017|Island of the Giant Pokémon]]'', he became discouraged when {{AP|Bulbasaur}} suggested that Ash had abandoned them all. Charmander was markedly shy and shown to be anxious, though his confidence quickly grew under Ash's guidance.<br />
<br />
[[File:Ash Charizard disobedience.png|thumb|left|250px|Charizard refusing to battle against [[Sparky]]]]<br />
Despite being one of Ash's most often used Pokémon, Charmander's [[Evolution]] saw Charmeleon grow distant from Ash, scorning all of his former friends and seeking power alone. Charmeleon had become like Damian, obsessed with power and reputation while ignoring the value of friendship, loyalty, and kindness. Charmeleon's battle with {{p|Aerodactyl}} in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]'' was purely based on a bruised ego, and Charizard's later battles with {{TP|Blaine|Magmar}} and [[Zippo]] were solely out of grudging respect for their battling ability, and in the case of the post-league celebration, the destruction of the food. Charizard's unhealthy disobedience even cost Ash the Indigo League when he refused to battle any Pokémon he didn't think was worthy. Nevertheless, he did retain some degree of loyalty to his master and his fellow Pokémon, as the aforementioned incident with Aerodactyl had Charizard barely swooping in to save Ash before completely falling asleep while being affected by Jigglypuff's singing and also saving Pikachu after Team Rocket blasted off before resuming his rampage, with ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'' even having Charizard crying for Ash when he ended up petrified.<br />
<br />
[[File:Ash Charizard Iris Dragonite.png|thumb|250px|Charizard's rivalry with Iris's Dragonite]]<br />
Once Ash made the selfless act to save Charizard from freezing in ''[[EP105|Charizard Chills]]'', Charizard finally shook off the poisonous personality traits left by Damian and regained full loyalty to Ash. His ability to work as part of a team was still hampered, but when working together with {{AP|Pikachu}} to defeat [[Luana]], he finally managed to overcome that difficulty. Since this point, Charizard has been willing to assist Ash in any battle, ranging from [[Casey's Chikorita]] to [[Falkner]]'s Pidgeot with no complaint. However, Charizard maintained the rebellious Flamethrower attacks as a sign of affection for Ash, and while Charizard was loyal, his love of power and reputation remained. This was shown significantly in his departure in ''[[EP134|Charizard's Burning Ambitions]]'', where he brashly challenged each of the wild Charizard at [[Charicific Valley]] even though he was defeated every time.<br />
<br />
Despite retaining his fiery nature and fierce battling spirit, Charizard's return to Ash's regular command in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]'' showed that he had significantly matured throughout {{jo|Liza}}'s training regime. This was displayed in ''[[BW136|A Pokémon of a Different Color!]]'', where he attempted to act as a peacemaker between [[Clair]] and {{an|Iris}}'s two squabbling {{p|Dragonite}}. During his time at Professor Oak's lab, Charizard became very good friends with Ash's Fire types and is usually seen hanging out with them, as shown in ''[[JN068|Advice to Goh!]]'' and ''[[JN114|Friends, Rivals, Lend Me Your Spirit!]]''. Charizard also befriended {{AP|Gengar}} when it visited the lab.<br />

===''I Choose You!''===<br />
[[File:Ash Charizard M20.png|thumb|250px|Ash's Charizard in ''I Choose You!'']]<br />
Charizard appeared in ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'', which is set in [[I Choose You! trilogy|a different continuity]] from {{aniseries|PTS}}. In this continuity, it was the second Pokémon {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|M20|Ash}} caught on his journey.<br />
[[File:Cross and Charmander.png|left|thumb|250px|As a Charmander with Cross]]<br />
As a {{p|Charmander}}, it originally belonged to a Pokémon Trainer named [[Cross]]. Cross deemed Charmander too weak however, and abandoned it and told it to stop following him. Charmander was eventually found in the rain by Ash and [[Verity]]. After arguing briefly with Cross over his decision to abandon Charmander, they took it and went inside a cave to seek shelter from the rain. There, they found [[Sorrel]], who brought Charmander back to good health.<br />
<br />
The following day, Charmander had fully recovered and Ash offered it to join his team. Charmander accepted, despite still feeling loyalty towards Cross. Charmander joined Ash, Verity, and Sorrel on their journey towards the [[Mount Tensei|Raizen Mountains]] to meet {{an|Ho-Oh}}. After a battle against a {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s {{p|Jigglypuff}}, Charmander evolved into Charmeleon. Soon after, Ash encountered Cross again and started a battle with him. Ash used Charmeleon against its former Trainer and his {{p|Incineroar}}. Charmeleon proved to be no match for Incineroar however and was defeated. Ash started to question himself and faulted the loss on Charmeleon, but later apologized when he realized his errors.<br />
<br />
Finally reaching the Raizen Mountains, Ash tried to place his [[Rainbow Wing]] atop Rainbow Rock. He was stopped by Cross however, who wanted to take the Rainbow Wing for himself. Ash battled Cross again, once again using his Charmeleon against Cross and his Incineroar. In the midst of a fierce battle, Charmeleon evolved into Charizard, and this time, it managed to defeat it. Distraught of losing against his former Pokémon, Cross started to realize the error in his ways.<br />
<br />
====Personality and characteristics====<br />
[[File:Ash and Charizard M20.png|250px|thumb|Charizard and Ash]]<br />
Unlike his animated series counterpart, Charizard has always been obedient to Ash, as well as retaining loyalty to his former Trainer Cross so that even after being assaulted by him, Charmander wanted to return to travel alongside him.<br />
<br />
Charizard over time ended up becoming a powerhouse on Ash's team, being able to beat Cross's {{p|Incineroar}} and thus show all his power to his former Trainer.<br />

Charizard, in all three of his stages, appears in a flashback during the [[special event]] {{DL|Special event|The Classic Thunderbolt}} in {{g|Masters EX}}.<br />

==In the manga==<br />
===Ash & Pikachu===<br />
[[File:Ash Charizard AP.png|thumb|200px|Charizard in [[Ash & Pikachu]]]]<br />
Ash's Charizard appeared in ''[[SP33|Off To The Battle Frontier!!]]''. It was excited to see Ash when he called it over as it was sent for training earlier. After arrival, Ash sent it out to battle [[Noland's Articuno]]. During the battle, it struggled to keep up with Articuno despite the type advantage due to the fact that Articuno's speed was quicker than Charizard's in terms of reflexes. However, Charizard focused in on where Articuno was going to strike next and defeated it, earning Ash the Knowledge Symbol.<br />

===The Electric Tale of Pikachu===<br />
[[File:Ash Charizard EToP.png|thumb|230px|left|Charizard in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]]]<br />
{{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]].<br />
<br />
Despite this difference, Ash is still seen owning a Charmander, which first appeared in ''[[ET08|You Gotta Have Friends]]''. Charmander's capture was not shown in the manga, instead, it was explained that "Ash has been busy since the last comic!" when Charmander first appeared from its {{i|Poké Ball}}. Charmander was first seen when a lonely Ash decided to play with his other Pokémon while {{AP|Pikachu|Pikachu (EToP)}} was off playing with a group of Pikachu. Charmander simply set Ash on fire while his {{p|Oddish}} {{status|paralysis|paralyzed}} him with {{m|Stun Spore}}.<br />
<br />
In ''[[ET12|Welcome to the Big Leagues]]'', at the 88th [[Indigo Plateau Conference|Pokémon League]], Ash presented his Charmander, now fully evolved into a Charizard, to {{an|Brock}} and {{an|Misty}}. Despite the fact that Ash wanted to use Charizard as a secret weapon, Charizard refused to listen to him unless he held a special flare that burned with the fire of a {{p|Moltres}}. Due to the fact that the flare burns out quickly and Ash could lose points for using a prop, he decided to not use it and rely on his other Pokémon instead.<br />
<br />
[[File:Ash Charizard violent.png|thumb|230px|Charizard violently attacking Ritchie's Charley]]<br />
In ''[[ET13|The Indigo Finals]]'', during the fifth round of the Pokémon League, Ash sent out Charizard as his third and last Pokémon in his match against [[Ritchie]]. Ritchie countered with his own Charizard, named [[Zippo|Charley]]. Though evenly matched at first, Charizard went into a violent frenzy and mercilessly started scratching, biting, and burning Charley. Ash attempted to stop this mauling with his flare, but Charizard ignored it and continued to attack Charley, heavily injuring it and splattering its blood everywhere. Refusing to keep the fight going on this way, Ash made the choice to [[recall]] Charizard. Since Charizard had left the battle and Charley was still standing despite its injuries, Ritchie was declared the winner, ending Ash's run in the Pokémon League.<br />
<br />
Charizard appeared again in ''[[ET16|You Bet Your Wife]]'', where Ash decided to use it in a dance competition in his Gym battle against [[Rudy]]. After flying around in circles, Charizard set Ash aflame as it did in its first appearance.<br />
<br />
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.<br />

Ash's Charizard first appeared in {{ma|Mirage Pokémon Lugia's Explosive Birth}}. Ash sent it out along with {{AP|Squirtle}} and {{AP|Bulbasaur}} to free the {{OBP|legendary birds|M02}} from their prisons.<br />
<br />
====Genesect and the Legend Awakened====<br />
Charizard reappeared in {{ma|Genesect and the Legend Awakened}}, where Ash sent it out along with his other Pokémon while he was in [[Pokémon Hills]].<br />

<br />
====''I Choose You!''====<br />
[[File:Ash Charizard M20 manga.png|thumb|200px|Charizard in ''{{ma|I Choose You!}}'']]<br />
Charizard appeared in {{ma|I Choose You!}}. It was first shown as a Charmander where [[Cross]] got it from {{an|Professor Oak}}. Later, Cross was revealed to have abandoned Charmander when {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|M20|Ash}} encountered it out in the rain. After Ash and [[Verity]] took Charmander in a cave to recover, [[Sorrel]] helped it back to good health.<br />
<br />
The next day, Ash offered Charmander to join his team and Charmander accepted. It then battled a {{p|Jigglypuff}} and defeated it, which resulted in it evolving into a Charmeleon. Charmeleon battled Cross's {{p|Incineroar}}. During the battle, it kept on damaging Incineroar, something that Cross allowed. However, it turned out to be part of Cross's plan as Incineroar's strength increased by every attack Charmeleon threw at it. Because of that, Incineroar was able to defeat Charmeleon with {{m|Cross Chop}}.<br />
<br />
After Ash and {{ashfr}} reached the [[Mount Tensei|Raizen Mountains]] and encountered Cross again, Charmeleon was used in the rematch against Cross's Incineroar. During the battle, Charmeleon evolved into Charizard and defeated Incineroar. When {{OBP|Marshadow|M20}} became corrupted by the evil tainting it because of Cross placing the Rainbow Wing on top of the rock instead of Ash, Charizard protected Cross from an attack coming from {{p|Lycanroc}} when Marshadow possessed it and took part in the battle against the other Pokémon possessed by Marshadow. After Ash disappeared from existence because of a combined attack coming from Marshadow's army, Charizard and the others were saddened to see that happen. Charizard became happy when Ash was revived.<br />

Charizard, as a Charmander, belonged to a Trainer named [[Cross]]. Cross released Charmander as he deemed it weak and then Ash eventually caught Charmander. Later, Charmander evolved into a Charmeleon.<br />
<br />
In [[ICYR3]], Charmeleon was sent out to take on three {{p|Nidoking}} at [[Mount Tensei]]. Charmeleon's {{m|Flamethrower}} caused the Nidoking to go running. Later, it was used to battle Cross's Incineroar. During the battle, Cross's Incineroar got the upper hand but Charmeleon evolved into Charizard when it was about to lose. Using its newfound power, Charizard defeated Incineroar with Seismic Toss. Charizard then faced off against Cross's Lycanroc but the outcome was unknown.<br />

==Trivia==<br />
[[File:Ash Charizard greeting.png|thumb|250px|Charizard greeting Ash with {{m|Flamethrower}}]]<br />

* Charizard is the only one of Ash's Pokémon to start refusing to [[Obedience|obey]] him only after evolving.<br />
* Prior to ''[[EP105|Charizard Chills]]'', Charizard only seemed to obey Ash when fighting another Fire-type Pokémon: he was obedient when battling against [[Blaine's Magmar]], {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}}'s cloned {{p|Charizard}}, and [[Zippo]].<br />

* Out of all of Ash's first partner Pokémon, Charizard took the shortest amount of episodes to reach its final form, at 35.<br />
* Charizard has used the most regular moves out of any individual Pokémon featured in the animated series, with a total of 17. The record of most moves used overall, however, is held by [[Leon's Charizard]], at 20, followed closely by [[Ash's Pikachu]], at 19.<br />

'''Red''' (Japanese: '''{{j|レッド}}''' ''Red'') is the {{player|player character}} in the [[Generation I]] games [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Pokémon Red, Green]], [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Blue]], and {{v2|Yellow}} and the male choice in their [[Generation III]] remakes {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, where his female counterpart is {{ga|Leaf}}.<br />
<br />
Red is known throughout the [[Pokémon world]] as the {{pkmn|Champion}} from [[Pallet Town]], as well as a living legend for his defeat of [[Team Rocket]] in [[Kanto]] during his quest. He is the final storyline opponent and the highest-level Trainer in the postgame of the [[Generation II]] games {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} and their [[Generation IV]] remakes {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, as well as the final opponent of the [[Gym Leader Castle]] in {{g|Stadium 2}}. He is a participant in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]]'s [[Champions Tournament]] in {{B2W2}} and works as a boss of the [[Battle Tree]] alongside {{ga|Blue}} in the [[Generation VII]] games {{pkmn|Sun and Moon|Sun, Moon}}, {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon}}. In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], he appears as the highest-level Trainer in the game, capable of being challenged after defeating six [[Master Trainer]]s.<br />
<br />
==In the core series games==<br />
{{spoilers}}<br />
Red is introduced as a curious 11-year-old boy from [[Pallet Town]]. According to the instruction manuals of {{3v2|Red|Green|Blue}}, Red gained an interest in Pokémon after his best friend, {{ga|Blue}}, stopped playing with him and became a bully, although in the games [[Professor Oak]] says the two have been rivals since infancy. His adventure begins one day when Professor Oak calls the two to his lab for a [[first partner Pokémon]]. Red has a choice of a {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, or {{p|Squirtle}}{{sup/1|G}}{{sup/1|RB}}{{sup/3|FRLG}}. Depending on the Pokémon that Red chooses, Blue will choose the Pokémon that has a type advantage over it{{sup/1|G}}{{sup/1|RB}}{{sup/3|FRLG}}. In {{game|Yellow}}, Red was originally intended to get an {{p|Eevee}}, which was swiped by Blue. As a result, Blue keeps the Eevee and Red receives a {{OBP|Pikachu|Yellow}} that Professor Oak caught earlier{{sup/1|Y}}. Blue challenges Red to a battle immediately to test out his new Pokémon, thinking he will easily beat Red.<br />
<br />
After Red has made his way to [[Viridian City]] to the north and taken [[Parcel|a package]] back to Oak in Pallet Town, Oak gives Red and Blue each a [[Pokédex]] with which to record data on all known Pokémon in the Kanto region to fulfill Oak's dream of creating a full guide on all Pokémon in Kanto. From here, Red and Blue journey across Kanto, collecting Pokémon to build up their teams, and defeating each of the [[Gym Leader]]s in turn, with Blue always one step ahead, showing up from time to time to impede Red's progress.<br />
<br />
Red also comes across a gang of Pokémon thieves, [[Team Rocket]], several times through his journey. He first encounters them trying to steal fossils within Mt. Moon. Then he encounters a member who is running the Nugget Bridge challenge to recruit for the organization on {{rt|24|Kanto}}; and another lone member who has stolen a [[TM]] from a family in [[Cerulean City]]. Eventually, Red uncovers a plot by Team Rocket, infiltrating their [[Team Rocket Hideout|hideout]] beneath the [[Celadon Game Corner]] and encountering their boss, [[Giovanni]]. Defeating him and ousting Team Rocket from Celadon, Red uses the [[Silph Scope]] that Giovanni leaves behind to battle {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon and save [[Mr. Fuji]] in the [[Pokémon Tower]] in [[Lavender Town]], who is being held hostage by Team Rocket. Red soon journeys into Saffron City in the heart of Kanto to find it overrun by Team Rocket, who is attempting to take the recently invented [[Master Ball]] from the [[Silph Co.]] President, and defeats Giovanni again, ending the group's plots for the time being.<br />
<br />
With seven Badges in hand, Red encounters Giovanni for the final time—this time as the [[Gym Leader|Leader]] of the [[Viridian Gym]], his final obstacle before the [[Elite Four]] of [[Indigo Plateau]]. Red defeats him in battle, earning his eighth and final Badge—the {{Badge|Earth}}. He disbands Team Rocket, promising to go into solo training to become a better Trainer.<br />
<br />
Making it through {{ka|Victory Road}} and finally to Indigo Plateau, Red challenges the [[Indigo League]]. First, he defeats the Elite Four and discovers, to his surprise, that Blue has defeated them before him and is therefore the {{pkmn|Champion}} of Kanto. Red defeats Blue in the final battle, becoming the Champion himself, but then continues his training, rather than staying at Indigo Plateau. Encountering an offshoot of Team Rocket in the southern [[Sevii Islands]], lead by Executive [[Archer]], Red reveals with his Earth Badge that Giovanni has disbanded the organization, and, though defeated, the group there intends to revive Team Rocket and bring Giovanni back, having already made plans to force Pokémon to evolve with radio waves.<br />
<br />
Red continues as a wandering Trainer, eventually making his way to [[Mt. Silver Cave]], where he trains his Pokémon alone. In the process, he becomes so distant from the people close to him that he does not even talk to his mom via phone anymore.<br />
<br />
Eventually, {{ga|Ethan}}, {{ga|Kris}}, or {{ga|Lyra}} arrives at Mt. Silver Cave and challenges Red, identified only as a [[Pokémon Trainer]]. If defeated, Red vanishes from Mt. Silver, and returns every time the Elite Four is defeated again by the player of Gold, Silver, Crystal, HeartGold, or SoulSilver.<br />
<br />
In {{B2W2}}, Red is shown to finally come back into public life, as he enters the [[Champions Tournament]] of the [[Pokémon World Tournament]] in the [[Unova]] region. In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon]], {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon}}, a visibly older Red is invited to work as the boss of [[Alola]]'s [[Battle Tree]] along with Blue. When {{ga|Elio}} or {{ga|Selene}} first visits the Battle Tree, they will encounter Red and Blue and battle one of them. After Red{{sup/7|SMUSUM}} or Blue{{sup/7|USUM}} is defeated at the Battle Tree proper, Red will reward the player with a full set of Kanto first partner Pokémon [[Mega Stone]]s.<br />
<br />
Red makes an appearance in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]]. In this continuity, he and Blue completed their journeys and defeated the Elite Four years before the player character started their journey. If the player has defeated at least six [[Master Trainer]]s and has six Pokémon in their [[party]], Red can be found in front of the Pokémon League building at Indigo Plateau, where he may be challenged to a battle. Like during all Master Trainer battles, the player isn't allowed to use [[item]]s from their [[Bag]] during this battle. After being defeated, Red will grant the player the title of [[Pokémon Master|Battle Master]] before leaving, though he will reappear for a [[rematch]] each time the player defeats the Elite Four.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon===<br />
As the player character, Red can have on his team any of the 151 Pokémon available during [[Generation I]]. In [[Generation III]], he can have any of the 386 Pokémon available at that time, though only after the player has obtained the [[National Pokédex]].<br />
<br />
When he is encountered as an opponent in [[Generation II]] and [[Generation IV]], Red has a set team, based on Generation I in-game event Pokémon, and has the highest-leveled trained Pokémon yet encountered in the series, with his {{TP|Red|Pikachu}} at level 81 in Generation II and at level 88 in Generation IV. In HeartGold and SoulSilver, when he is defeated, all Pokémon in the player's party receive the {{DL|List of Ribbons in the games|Legend Ribbon}}.<br />
<br />
In {{B2W2}}, he can be fought in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]]'s [[Champions Tournament]], using the same team he did in Generation IV, albeit with different movesets.<br />
<br />
In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon]], {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon}}, Red once again uses his team from Generation IV, just with altered movesets. When battled in the [[Battle Tree]] proper, Red will use a randomly selected team from a preset selection of Pokémon.<br />
<br />
In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], Red's team has notable differences to his previous [[core series]] teams, lacking {{p|Charizard}} and {{p|Blastoise}} which now appear as the highest-leveled Pokémon in {{ga|Blue}} and {{ga|Green}}'s teams, respectively.<br />

===[[Pokémon Stadium 2]]===<br />
Red appears in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]]. He can be battled in the Kanto [[Gym Leader Castle]] after the player has defeated all eight Kanto Gym Leaders, being the final opponent the player must defeat in order to clear the Gym Leader Castle challenge.<br />
<br />
During the game's end credits, he is seen having a battle with {{ga|Blue}}.<br />
<br />
====Pokémon====<br />
Red uses vastly different sets of Pokémon than in any of his other appearances, only sharing a couple Pokémon with the teams he uses in the [[core series]]. Notably, this is the only game where he's not seen using {{TP|Red|his Pikachu|Pikachu}}. In Round 2, each of his Pokémon knows {{m|Hidden Power}}.<br />

===Pokémon Colosseum and XD: Gale of Darkness===<br />
Red makes an appearance in both [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]]. While he does not appear in the games' Story Mode, he is playable in the Battle Mode when a FireRed or LeafGreen cartridge is used, with a male player character chosen. He can take on Mt. Battle's 100-battle challenge, as well as compete in Colosseum battles.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Battle Revolution===<br />
Red makes a brief appearance in the debut trailer of [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]], having a [[Double Battle]] against {{ga|Leaf}}, using a {{p|Deoxys}} in its Attack Forme and a {{p|Wailord}}. Despite this, he does not appear in the final game.<br />
<br />
==In the spin-off games==<br />
===[[Super Smash Bros. series]]===<br />
[[File:Pokemon Trainer Brawl.png|thumb|250px|left|Red in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] with his Pokémon]]<br />
[[File:Pokemon Trainer SSBU.png|thumb|250px|Red in [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]]]<br />
====Pokémon Trainer====<br />
{{main|Pokémon Trainer (Super Smash Bros.)}}<br />
Red is known as the "Pokémon Trainer" in the [[Super Smash Bros. series]]. He has a team consisting of {{p|Squirtle}}, {{p|Ivysaur}}, and {{p|Charizard}}. Rather than fighting himself like most other characters, Red sends his three Pokémon into battle, switching between them in order.<br />
<br />
Red debuted as a playable character in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]. He was absent from [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]], the only game in the series where his {{SSB|Charizard}} is available as an individual fighter. Red returned as a playable character in [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]], and additionally {{ga|Leaf}} debuted as part of his palette swaps, sharing the same title of "Pokémon Trainer". Red is voiced by [[Michele Knotz]] and [[Billy Bob Thompson]] in the English versions of [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]] and [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate|Ultimate]] respectively, and 半場友恵 ''[[Tomoe Hanba]]'' in the Japanese versions.<br />
<br />
====Other references====<br />
* Red's hat appears as an alternate outfit worn by {{SSB|Pikachu}} from [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]] onward, possibly in specific reference to {{game|Yellow}} (which, in turn, was inspired by ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'').<br />
* In [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]], Red is featured as a trophy to represent Pokémon Trainers.<br />
<br />
===[[Pokémon GO]]===<br />
{{main|Style (GO)}}<br />
For [[Pokémon Day]] 2018, Red's outfit from {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} was released as a style option in [[Pokémon GO]] which can be purchased with PokéCoins.<br />
<br />
===[[Pokémon Masters EX]]===<br />
====Red====<br />
{{main|Red (Masters)}}<br />
<br />
Red, who is based on the [[player character]] from {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, forms a [[sync pair]] with {{TP|Red|Charizard}}, {{p|Snorlax}}, {{TP|Red|Pikachu}}, {{p|Articuno}}, and {{p|Venusaur}} in [[Pokémon Masters EX]]. His Charizard is capable of [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolving]] into Mega Charizard X and Sync {{Tera}}stallizing into the {{t|Dragon}} type, while his Snorlax and Pikachu are both capable of [[Gigantamax]]ing, and his Venusaur is capable of [[Dynamax]]ing. Red became a playable sync pair on February 28, 2020.<br />
<br />
In this game, Red is indirectly responsible for the creation of the [[Pokémon Masters League]], as him defeating [[Lear]] before the events of the game was what inspired Lear to create [[Pasio]] and the PML in order to overcome his weaknesses. Red first appeared as an NPC during the second chapter of [[PML arc]]. He also made notable appearances later in the PML arc, and the [[villain arc]]. Unlike in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, both Red and {{mas|Leaf}} coexist in this game.<br />

==Counterparts==<br />
===In animation===<br />
====''Pokémon the Series''====<br />
{{main|Ash Ketchum}}<br />
[[File:Ash debut.png|thumb|250px|Ash Ketchum, Red's {{aniseries|PTS}} counterpart]]<br />
Red's loose [[Cross-canon counterpart|animated counterpart]], introduced in the [[EP001|first episode]], is the main character of ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'', Ash Ketchum. Like Red, Ash is from Pallet Town, on a {{pkmn|journey}} to become a Pokémon Master. Unlike Red, Ash's journey did not end with Kanto, and Ash continued through every other region introduced in the [[core series]] games until [[Galar]], as well as the [[Orange Islands]] south of Kanto, taking the place of the player characters of Generation II during [[Johto]] and Generation V during [[Unova]], and being joined by the animated series counterparts of {{ga|May}}, {{ga|Dawn}}, and {{ga|Serena}} during the Hoenn, Sinnoh, and Kalos sagas respectively. Instead of starting with one of the standard three Kanto first partner Pokémon, however, Ash began his journey with a {{AP|Pikachu}}, inspiring {{game|Yellow}}'s creation, as well as causing some to consider Red and Ash to be exactly the same person, most especially due to Red owning {{TP|Red|one|Pikachu}} as well.<br />
<br />
====''I Choose You!'' trilogy====<br />
{{main|Ash Ketchum (M20)}}<br />
Red has another animated counterpart, {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|M20|an alternate Ash Ketchum}}, who appeared in ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'', ''[[M21|The Power of Us]]'', and ''[[M23|Secrets of the Jungle]]''; these {{pkmn|movie}}s are set in a timeline separate from ''Pokémon the Series''. This Ash shares the same basic characteristics as the main Ash, but goes on a different journey compared to the character in ''Pokémon the Series''.<br />
{{-}}<br />
<br />
====Pokémon Origins====<br />
{{main|Red (Origins)}}<br />
[[File:Blaine Arcanine PO.png|thumb|left|250px|Red in [[Pokémon Origins]]]]<br />
Red also had a direct counterpart that appeared as the main character of the [[Pokémon Origins]] mini-series, which takes place in a separate continuity. This counterpart shared Red's name, in-game role, and design from FireRed and LeafGreen. The mini-series follows Red as he challenges the [[Indigo League]] and fights [[Team Rocket]] with his [[first partner Pokémon]], {{TP|Red|Charmander|Charizard}}.<br />
{{-}}<br />
<br />
====Pokémon Generations====<br />
[[File:Red PG.png|thumb|250px|Red in [[Pokémon Generations]]]]<br />
Another direct counterpart of Red appeared in [[Pokémon Generations]]. He first appeared in ''[[PG01|The Adventure]]'', where he {{pkmn2|caught}} a {{TP|Red|Pikachu}} in [[Viridian Forest]]. He then went on to experience various other adventures with his Pikachu across other regions, during which he encountered various {{pkmn2|wild}} and [[Legendary Pokémon]].<br />
<br />
Red briefly reappeared at the end of ''[[PG03|The Challenger]]'', having just defeated the [[Elite Four]] at [[Indigo Plateau]], and preparing to challenge {{ga|Blue}} for the title of the {{pkmn|Champion}}.<br />
<br />
Like the [[core series]] games, Red is not heard speaking during his appearances.<br />

==Trivia==<br />
* Red's title screen and profile front sprites from {{game|Red and Green|s}} correspond to his earlier [[Capsule Monsters]] artwork instead of his final [[Generation I]] artwork. His title screen sprite was updated in {{game|Blue| (Japanese)}} but the profile front sprite remained unchanged.<br />
** In {{game|Yellow}}, he has no title screen sprite and his front sprite is updated in part to match his official artwork and possibly in part to match [[Ash Ketchum]], his {{pkmn|animated series}} counterpart, as the frontal section of his hat has the same division in the middle as [[Ash's hat]] from the [[original series]].<br />
* Red's [[party]] in [[Generation II]], {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, {{B2W2}}, and {{game4|SMUSUM}} is based heavily on in-game events from the Generation I games and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}:<br />
** {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Venusaur}}, {{p|Blastoise}}, and {{p|Pikachu}} are the [[game mascot]]s of the four Generation I games: Pokémon Red, Green, Blue, and Yellow. They are also available in all iterations of the original [[Kanto]] plot and can all be obtained in a single save file in Pokémon Yellow;<br />
** {{p|Espeon}} could have been obtained as an {{p|Eevee}} in [[Celadon City]], and Eevee notably serves as {{ga|Blue}}'s [[first partner Pokémon]] in Pokémon Yellow;<br />
** {{p|Lapras}} is given away by a [[Silph Co.]] employee shortly before [[Team Rocket]] is defeated there;<br />
** Two {{p|Snorlax}} are required to be caught or defeated in order to travel to [[Fuchsia City]]. Furthermore, in the Generation II games and Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, only the Snorlax that was previously blocking {{rt|12|Kanto}} (now blocking the entrance to [[Diglett's Cave]]) is available to the {{player}}, suggesting that Red caught the one blocking {{rt|16|Kanto}}.<br />
*** In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, apart from his Venusaur and Blastoise being fully evolved, Red's team is identical to that of [[Ash Ketchum]] throughout most of the [[S02|Orange Islands]] arc.<br />
*** Also in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, the four game mascots all know their [[Generation III]] [[signature move]]s: Venusaur, Charizard, and Blastoise know {{m|Frenzy Plant}}, {{m|Blast Burn}} and {{m|Hydro Cannon}}, respectively, while Pikachu knows {{m|Volt Tackle}}. Furthermore, his Pikachu's moveset coincides with the four moves that [[Ash's Pikachu]] used during ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]'': Volt Tackle, {{m|Quick Attack}}, {{m|Iron Tail}}, and {{m|Thunderbolt}}.<br />
* All six of the Pokémon that Red uses in the core series from HeartGold and SoulSilver to Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon are capable of [[Gigantamax]] in Sword and Shield.<br />
* In HeartGold and SoulSilver, Red's [[level]] 88 [[Red's Pikachu|Pikachu]] was the highest-leveled Pokémon owned by a non-player character outside of [[Battle facility|battle facilities]] prior to {{g|Legends: Z-A}}, tied with [[Cynthia's Garchomp]] during the second [[rematch]] in {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}.<br />
** However, the level of several NPCs' Pokémon in {{4v|Black|White}} are variable and can exceed that of the two, depending on the level of the Pokémon that is [[in-game trade#Generation V|traded]] to them.<br />
* When Red is encountered at the summit of Mt. Silver during Generation II and Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, he has no speech, merely repeating sets of {{wp|ellipsis|ellipses}} <!--2 sets of regular 3-dot ellipses in English GSC and 2 sets of 18-dot ellipses in English HGSS; 10 sets (GSC)/6 sets (HGSS) sets of 2 midline horizontal ellipses each in the Japanese versions--> before beginning the {{pkmn|battle}}. This is a reference to his silent role in [[Generation I]], as he only answered choice questions like <sc>Yes</sc> or <sc>No</sc>. This unique characteristic remains in later [[generation]]s.<br />
** In FireRed and LeafGreen, {{ga|Blue}} sarcastically calls him a "chatty gossip".<br />
*** Blue also jokes about this in Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon.<br />
** Despite this, {{DL|Copycat (character)|Quotes|dialogue that ensues}} when talking to {{OBP|Copycat|character}} in Generation I and FireRed and LeafGreen implies that Red is speaking.<br />
*** Also, only in the Spanish version of HeartGold and SoulSilver, the line "<Trainer> used one <item>!" for opponents using items in battle was localized as "<Trainer>: ¡Voy a usar <item>!" ("<Trainer>: I'm going to use <item>!"), thus causing Red to speak when using an item in battle.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5F1hpXj3f-Q</ref><br />
*** In [[Pokémon Masters EX]], while primarily silent, {{mas|Red}} has {{DL|Red (game)/Quotes|Pokémon Masters EX|several spoken lines of dialogue}}. However, all of these are grunts and shouts; as such, Red's appearances in the [[Super Smash Bros. series|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]] are the only games where he has [[Pokémon Trainer (Super Smash Bros.)/Quotes|proper speaking lines]].<br />
* Much like there is minimal information on his {{Ash|animated series counterpart}}'s father, Red's father is mentioned only briefly when examining an {{wp|Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES}} at the [[Celadon Department Store]] in the Generation I games and FireRed and LeafGreen.<br />
* In HeartGold and SoulSilver, Red is the only {{pkmn|Trainer}} who uses the {{pkmn|battle}} transition effect from Generation II.<br />
* All of his {{pkmn|animation}} and {{pkmn|manga}} counterparts also have owned a Pikachu, with {{Zensho|Satoshi}} from Pokémon Zensho being the only one who evolved his one into a {{p|Raichu}}.<br />
* Along with Blue, [[Lance]], and the Generation I and III Kanto [[Gym Leader]]s (excluding [[Giovanni]] and [[Koga]]), Red has appeared in almost every [[generation]] of the [[Pokémon games]], with six out of nine so far. He is the only protagonist with this feat.<br />
* Red and Lance share the same unique {{pkmn|Champion}} [[List of battle music themes|battle music]] in [[Johto]]-based games and Pokémon Black 2 and White 2's [[Champions Tournament]].<br />
* Red's T-shirt in Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon bears the number 96, referencing the original Japanese release year of Pokémon Red and Green.<br />
* Red is the only protagonist to be battled, as an NPC outside of the generation he was introduced in.<br />
* A Trainer closely resembling an older Red briefly appears in {{DetPikMov}}, where he is shown in a promotional advertisement on the train to [[Ryme City]]. This Trainer is played by Japanese actor Ryoma Takeuchi.<br />
<br />
==Names==<br />
[[File:GameFreak 1997 fanbook MC Satoshi.jpg|thumb|200px|Scan from the ''[[Official Fan Book of Pocket Monsters]]'' in which Red is named '''サトシ''' ''Satoshi'']]<br />
'''Red''' is the primary name used for this character in [[core series]] [[Non-player character|NPC]] appearances since [[Generation II]], as well as in {{g|Stadium 2}}, {{g|Masters EX}}, and in the game data of {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} and {{game|Emerald}}. <br />
<br />
The name '''{{Ash}}''' (Japanese: '''サトシ''' ''Satoshi''), after the protagonist of ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' and {{DL|Pokémon the Series|related media}}, is also used, particularly in early media. It is one of the [[#Optional names|optional names]] for Red in [[Generation I]] and [[Generation III]], and is used in ''[[Official Fan Book of Pocket Monsters]]'', ''[[Pokémon: Official Nintendo Player's Guide]]'' and ''[[Pokémon: Special Edition for Yellow, Red and Blue: Official Nintendo Player's Guide]]''. In ''[[Pokémon Gold and Silver: Official Nintendo Player's Guide]]'', the name Red is mainly used, though Ash is also used at some point. In ''[[Pokémon Crystal: Official Nintendo Player's Guide]]'', some content was reused but the name "Ash" was edited out.<ref group="lower-alpha">''"Pokémon Gold & Silver also feature the world of Kanto, which '''Ash''' explored in Pokémon Red, Blue and Yellow."'' (Pokémon Gold and Silver guidebook, page 4) ''"Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal also feature the world of Kanto, which '''originally appeared''' in Pokémon Red, Blue and Yellow."'' (Pokémon Crystal guidebook, page 4)</ref><br />
<br />
Other names and terms have also been used in various languages:<br />
* The English {{game|Red and Blue|s}} manuals address the player directly as "you". <br />
* Game screenshots in the official game manuals use the names '''Blue'''{{sup/1|RB}}, '''{{Ash}}'''{{sup/1|Y}}, '''Red'''{{sup/3|FR}}, and '''Green'''{{sup/3|LG}}. <br />
* The Japanese game manuals include text that name the player based on the respective Japanese game version, '''レッド''' ''Red''{{sup/1|JR}}, '''グリーン''' ''Green''{{sup/1|G}}, '''ブルー''' ''Blue''{{sup/1|JB}}, and '''イエロー''' ''Yellow''{{sup/1|Y}}. <br />
* Japanese {{pkmn|playing cards}} use a couple different names and terms: '''レッド''' ''Red'' (Pokémon Red deck), '''グリーン''' ''Green'' (Pokémon Green deck), and simply '''主人公しゅじんこう''' ''player character'' (Pokémon Red, Green, Blue, and Yellow decks).<br />
* Some placeholder names are used in the game data: '''Ninten'''{{sup/1|RBY}} (Japanese: '''やまぐち''' ''Yamaguchi''{{sup/1|RG}}; '''ゲーフリ''' ''Gēfuri''{{sup/1|JB}}; '''ゲーフリ1''' ''Gēfuri1''{{sup/1|Y}})<br />
* '''オサム''' (''Osamu'') is used in screenshots of {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} on the official Japanese Pokémon website.<br />
* In the Spanish version of FireRed, LeafGreen, and {{game|Emerald}}, Red's placeholder name has the syllables reversed: he is known as "Joro" instead of "Rojo". <br />

===Optional names===<br />
When starting a new game of {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, if the player leaves the name writing screen without any written name, or with a name composed entirely of empty spaces, [[Professor Oak]] says, "Right... So your name is <optional name>", suggesting one of the 19 available names; there are 24 names in total, but there are 5 exclusive to FireRed and 5 exclusive to LeafGreen. The player may answer "Yes" to accept the suggested name, or "No" to return to the name writing screen.<br />

Moon is a girl from the [[Sinnoh]] region. She does not enjoy [[Alola]]'s tropical air, stating that it doesn't suit her character. She isn't one to be fooled by others, easily seeing through {{adv|Sun}}'s deception and seeing through the lies of the {{tc|Team Skull Grunt}}s. Moon is a pharmacist and is proficient with making various types of medicine. Due to this occupation, Moon is very knowledgeable about various poisons, as certain kinds can be used to make medicine. In addition to the possible benefits of poison, Moon favors {{type|Poison}} Pokémon and finds them to be cute. Moon is also a skilled archer, which helps her get medicinal supplies by firing at the desired item with her bow and arrow.<br />
<br />
Due to coming from a family of scholars, Moon prefers to use her intelligence to devise strategies in battle. As such, concepts she considers "unscientific", such as luck, tend to annoy her if they end up defeating her strategies. For her skills, she is given the title of '''"Mixer"''' ({{tt|調合る者|つくるもの}} ''Mixer'').<br />
<br />
==History==<br />

<br />
===Past===<br />
Moon was born to a family of scholars in the Sinnoh region. Ever since she was a small child, she studied various poisons and Poison-type Pokémon. At the age of six, she earned a doctorate for her studies, earning her the nickname (Japanese: '''ミス・ポイズン''' ''Miss Poison''). After causing various poison-related accidents, she chose to research ways to counter poisons, eventually becoming a pharmacist at age ten. Moon worked alongside [[Mr. Berlitz]]. Due to a mistake on her part, a {{p|Piplup}} became poisoned and could only be cured with materials that only exist in the [[Alola]] region. Although Mr. Berlitz was reluctant at first, he agreed to allow Moon to leave after [[Roseanne]] arrived with a {{TP|Moon|Rotom}} requested to be delivered to [[Professor Kukui]].<br />
<br />
==={{MangaArc|Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon}}===<br />
[[File:Moon assistant Adventures.png|thumb|left|220px|Moon working as an assistant in Sinnoh]]<br />
Moon debuted in ''[[PASM01|The Grand Entrance and Delivery Boy Sun]]'', where she encountered a boy named {{adv|Sun}} doing part-time work removing wild {{p|Pyukumuku}} from the [[Hau'oli City]] Beachfront. When the {{tc|Team Skull Grunt}}s that hired Sun came to check up on his work, they tried getting out of paying him by planting an extra Pyukumuku on the beach. When Moon pointed this out, the male Grunt had his {{p|Salandit}} attack her and then feign injury to force Sun to pay for its medical bills. Angered, Sun used his {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Meowth}}, [[Cent]], to defeat the Grunts and forced them to flee. Afterward, Sun apologized to Moon for causing her trouble and offered to help with her delivery to Professor Kukui.<br />
<br />
In ''[[PASM02|The Delivery of Rotom and the Girl]]'', Moon and Sun were attacked by the [[Guardian deities|guardian deity]] of [[Melemele Island]], {{p|Tapu Koko}}. After a quick battle, Tapu Koko ran away and left behind a [[Sparkling Stone]], which Sun picked up. Later, Moon and Sun arrived at Professor Kukui's house on {{rt|1|Alola}}, where they found the man testing the moves of his {{p|Rowlet}} and {{p|Popplio}}. After a quick introduction, Moon delivered Rotom to Kukui, who wanted one due to it being capable of combining with Sun's [[Pokédex]]. When Rotom tried entering the Pokédex, it ran away in disgust because Sun's constant mishandling of the device left it dirty and smelling bad. After Sun retrieved Rotom, he told Moon about the festival being held in [[Iki Town]] the next day and suggested she go to it before going back home.<br />
<br />
In ''[[PASM04|The Decision and the Tournament of Six]]'', Moon met [[Olivia]], one of the [[island kahuna]]s, and helped her pick the roster of a tournament being held at the Iki Town Festival. During the placement, Moon encountered [[Lillie]]. When a Pokémon Lillie called {{DL|Nebby|In the manga|Nebby}} escaped from her bag and ran off to [[Mahalo Trail]], she and Moon chased after it. They found Nebby under attack by a group of wild {{p|Spearow}}, but as Lillie was too scared to move, Moon had to step in and save it. When Moon got to Nebby, it used its powers to break the bridge they were standing on, causing both to fall into the water before Tapu Koko caught them and brought them to safety. After learning that Lillie was entered in the tournament by accident, Moon decided to take her place instead.<br />
<br />
In ''[[PASM06|The Party Crasher and Guzma the Destroyer]]'', Moon faced [[Gladion]] in the second battle of the second round of the tournament. Moon tried to ask Gladion about a mysterious [[Ultra Wormhole]] that she saw at Mahalo Trail, but Gladion only agreed to answer if she beat him. During their battle, Moon proved to be an effective strategist and nearly defeated Gladion's {{p|Porygon}}, but it eventually managed to win through luck. The shock of losing to something she considered unscientific as luck shocked Moon to the point where she completely ignored the final battle of the tournament.<br />
<br />
In ''[[PASM08|Going Ashore and Neighboring Akala Island]]'', Moon and Sun traveled with Kukui to [[Akala Island]]. After rescuing Kukui's Rowlet from the pair of Skull Grunts, he allowed Moon to keep it after seeing how attached they were. Sun was given the task of delivering special [[Mirage Berry|Mirage Berries]] to each of Alola's guardian deities. Afterward, Moon revealed that Rotom decided to stay with her after fusing with a spare Pokédex she received from Kukui to become the [[Rotom Pokédex]]. Later, Moon and Sun arrived at [[Heahea City]], where they met [[Kiawe]], [[Mallow]], and [[Lana]], the [[Trial Captain]]s of Akala Island. Kiawe tested Sun to see if he was worthy in taking part of the [[Island challenge]] and eventually accepted him after they had a short battle. Lana, still unsure, told the group to follow her to [[Brooklet Hill]].<br />
<br />
[[File:Moon Adventures.png|thumb|left|120px|Moon's first outfit]]<br />
In ''[[PASM09|True Identity and the Totem Pokémon of Brooklet Hill]]'', Moon and Mallow went to [[Lush Jungle]] to search for the Mirage Berry. Shortly after arriving, they found {{p|Tapu Lele}} battling a {{p|Xurkitree}} emerging from another wormhole. Moon sent Rotom to get information about the mysterious creature, but it ended up shutting down after Xurkitree blasted it with an electrical shock. Moon tried firing a Poké Ball-tipped arrow, but it failed to catch Xurkitree, who managed to escape. Tapu Lele left in anger while Moon collected its fallen scales. When Moon pointed out they didn't know Xurkitree's actual name, Mallow suggested giving it the code name "Lighting".<br />
<br />
In ''[[PASM11|Homecoming and the Brilliant Professional Golfer]]'', Mallow had her and Moon's Pokémon communicate with the wild Pokémon in the area to help them find the Mirage Berry. After successfully finding what they came for, Mallow received a call from Kiawe, who had been attacked by someone. After informing Sun and Lana, the four regrouped at [[Konikoni City]] before heading to [[Memorial Hill]], where they found an injured Kiawe lying on the ground. A group of Skull Grunts appeared, claiming they were the ones who defeated Kiawe. Mallow and Lana stayed behind to battle the Grunts while Moon, Sun, and Kiawe went to the [[Ruins of Life]] to check up on Tapu Lele. Shortly after arriving, Kiawe told Sun about [[Z-Move]]s and helped him practice the pose for {{m|Inferno Overdrive}}, which he planned to have Sun use against Gladion, the person who defeated him. As Sun did not possess a [[Z-Ring]], Kiawe allowed Sun to borrow his own, but they were interrupted by Gladion, who had joined [[Team Skull]] as an Enforcer. Gladion managed to capture Tapu Lele, was still recovering from a battle it had with Xurkitree. Kiawe tried giving his Z-Ring to Sun, but it was destroyed by Gladion's {{TP|Gladion|Type: Null}}. When Gladion claimed Sun wouldn't have won even with the Z-Move, a voice appeared, pointing out that if he truly believed that, then he wouldn't have destroyed the Z-Ring. The voice is revealed to be [[Kahili]], who uses her Pokémon to distract Type: Null before delivering Sun his finished Z-Ring. <br />
<br />
In ''[[PASM13|Unleashing the Incredible Z-Move]]'', Sun and {{adv|Dollar}} successfully executed Inferno Overdrive, which managed to crack Type: Null's mask. Gladion gave up on Tapu Lele, deciding it was too weak to fight the mysterious creatures appearing in Alola. As he left, Gladion revealed the Ultra Wormholes are the result of something trying to break free into their world. Afterward, Tapu Lele woke up and Sun delivered the Mirage Berry to it. As thanks for healing it, Tapu Lele challenged Moon, Sun, Kiawe, and Kahili to a battle to test their strength. Despite the combined effort of their Pokémon, Tapu Lele easily blocked their attacks. Sun, refusing to give up, managed to land a hit on Tapu Lele after Dollar [[Evolution|evolved]] into a {{p|Torracat}}. The attack didn't harm Tapu Lele, but it acknowledged their determination and flew off. Afterward, Moon tried to consult Rotom about what Gladion said when he left, but the only answer it could give was "{{adv|Necrozma}}."<br />
<br />
In ''[[PASM14|Flash and Cosmog's Secret]]'', Moon faced {{p|Lurantis}}, the [[Totem Pokémon]] of Lush Jungle, and defeated it. Afterward, she and the others grouped together at Mallow's restaurant in Konikoni City to speak to Kukui's wife, [[Professor Burnet]], over a video phone. They speculated the Ultra Wormholes appearing in Alola may have been the result of Nebby's power. Kukui told Burnet to take Lillie and meet with him, Moon, and Sun at [[Ula'ula Island]], where Sun has to go to deliver the next Mirage Berry. Later that night, Burnet and Lillie traveled to Kukui's yacht via [[Mantine Surf]], but a wild {{p|Bruxish}} appeared and used its powers to give everyone headaches and cause them to pass out. Sun and Lillie ended up separated from the others while Moon, Kukui, and Burnet were rescued by the [[Aether Foundation]] and taken to their base of operations, [[Aether Paradise]]. There, they met [[Faba]] and [[Wicke]], who explained what happened to everyone and gave them a tour of the location.<br />
<br />
After finishing their stay, in ''[[PASM18|Confusion and Monsters from Another World]]'', Moon, Kukui, and Burnet traveled to Ula'ula. Moon traveled to [[Po Town]], where she found the place under siege by a group of mysterious creatures, now known as [[Ultra Beast]]s. Gladion revealed the Aether Foundation's president, [[Lusamine]], gave a second Cosmog to Guzma to fuel her desire to create a paradise filled with nothing but Ultra Beasts and herself. Guzma denied the accusation that he was being used, only for a {{p|Nihilego}} to grab him and drag him towards an Ultra Wormhole. Moon attempted to rescue Guzma, but was stopped by Xurkitree. Sun managed to free Moon with his team, but ended up swatted away by Xurkitree, causing him to crash-land onto a car. The other beasts broke out of Po Town's barrier, allowing them to wreak havoc on the rest of Ula'ula. The Captains headed off to evacuate any innocents caught in the beasts' attacks while Moon stayed behind to heal Sun's injuries. When Moon pointed out that Sun reacted strangely when Gladion mentioned the Aether Foundation, Sun revealed the reason he had been collecting money was to buy back the island the Aether Foundation stole from his [[Sun's great-grandfather|great-grandfather]]. Before he could explain any further, Moon and Sun were approached by [[Anabel]] and {{adv|Looker}} of the [[International Police]].<br />
<br />
[[File:Moon bow Adventures.png|thumb|rightt|200px|Moon using her bow]]<br />
In ''[[PASM20|An Urgent Task and the Capture of an Ultra Beast]]'', Anabel questioned the children about what they knew of the Ultra Beasts, but Sun was wary of the International Police, as he found their desire to protect and take in Pokémon used in crimes too similar to the goals of the Aether Foundation. After receiving a bribe from Anabel, Sun allowed Moon to give the officer information about the beasts that appeared in Alola. After having Looker sent off to investigate, Anabel told Sun and Moon about the beasts' species names as well as their codenames. The group was then attacked by {{p|Blacephalon}}, another beast that emerged from a wormhole. Sun and Anabel managed to stun Blacephalon long enough for Anabel to attempt a capture. The {{i|Poké Ball}} did not work on Blacephalon, revealing they only work properly on regular Pokémon. Blacephalon retaliated by using {{m|Mind Blown}} on the group, but was blown away by Tapu Bulu's {{m|Whirlwind}}. After Kukui and Burnet arrived with the Mirage Berry, Sun was reluctant to give it up, as he believed the guardian deities had no reason to help humans, because they were the ones responsible for causing the danger in Alola to begin with. Moon disagreed with this statement and argued that if humans were the cause for the danger, then they should take responsibility by helping fix it as well. Moon and Sun then gave the Mirage Berry to Tapu Bulu, who readily accepted it.<br />
<br />
In ''[[PASM21|Thieving and Boss Crabominable]]'', Moon, Sun, and Anabel traveled to [[Poni Island]]. While Sun went off to find information on where to find {{p|Tapu Fini}}, Moon and Anabel arrived at [[Seafolk Village]], which had been evacuated due to the Ultra Beasts' attacks. Worried that some injured people may still be there, Anabel requested that Moon help heal any hurt civilians. As they walked through [[Poni Wilds]], Moon asked Anabel how she knew the names of the Ultra Beasts. Anabel then revealed that she knew because she is a Faller, a human who had passed through an Ultra Wormhole.<br />
<br />
In ''[[PASM23|Battle in Vast Poni Canyon]]'', Moon and Anabel traveled to [[Vast Poni Canyon]], where they witnessed Faba battling [[Plumeria]]. Worried that his plans could be jeopardized, Faba had his {{tc|Aether Foundation Employee}}s battle Moon and Anabel, hoping the distraction would give him the chance to escape. Faba fled to the [[Poni Altar]] while Moon, Anabel, and Plumeria followed him. Later, Tapu Koko appeared and placed Moon on the Altar with Sun, where they played the [[Sun Flute|Sun]] and [[Moon Flute]]s together, causing the Altar to react. <br />
<br />
In ''[[PASM25|Summon the Emissaries of the Moon and the Sun]]'', the Poni Altar released a bright light that allowed Nebby and another {{p|Cosmoem}} to evolve into {{p|Lunala}} and {{adv|Solgaleo}}, respectively. After explaining what the two [[Legendary Pokémon]] were, Anabel received a call from Looker, who reported that a large number of Ultra Beasts emerged from Po Town and have made their way to Poni Island. While the others fought the beasts, Sun confronted Faba, demanding that the Aether Foundation return his great-grandfather's island. Faba revealed to Sun that the island had already been converted into Aether Paradise, and money he suggested Sun gather wouldn't nearly be enough to return the island back to its previous state. A giant Ultra Wormhole with a {{p|Necrozma}}'s hand emerging from it opened in front of everyone. The hand possessed Solgaleo's body, forcing it to grab Sun and jump into the wormhole with it while Moon and Lunala followed after.<br />
<br />
At some point, Sun and Moon ended up separated from Lunala and ended up trapped in the [[Ultra Deep Sea]] for six months. In ''[[PASM26|Adventure in the Dark Dimension]]'', Lunala reappeared, only for Moon and Sun to find it being [[Ultra Warp Ride|ridden]] by [[Dulse]] and [[Zossie]] of the [[Ultra Recon Squad]]. After overhearing that Dulse had met with the Aether Foundation to create Poké Balls capable of capturing the Ultra Beasts, Sun confronted the strangers, demanding to know what their connection with the Aether Foundation was. After Dulse and Zossie explained themselves, Moon asked the two if they could take her and Sun back to Alola. Though Dulse refused, Lunala returned to Moon and Sun, leaving him no choice but to stay behind while Moon, Sun, and Zossie rode on Lunala's back to Alola. As they traversed through [[Ultra Space]], Zossie taught Sun how to use Ultra Warp Ride and told him and Moon about the various worlds the Ultra Beasts come from. After passing through an Ultra Wormhole, the three arrived at the Ultra Recon Squad's home world, the [[Ultra Megalopolis]].<br />
<br />
In ''[[PASM28|Arrival at the Scientific Megalopolis]]'', the Ultra Beast {{p|Stakataka}} appeared in hopes of fighting the weakened Necrozma. Zossie took Moon and Sun to the [[Megalo Tower]], where they met [[Soliera]], another Ultra Recon Squad member. Soliera lured Stakataka to the tower as she wanted to test the bonds between people and Pokémon in order to find a way to return light to the Ultra Megalopolis. By disguising itself as a building, Stakataka hid itself from view, allowing it to easily capture Sun. Moon and Lunala fought to rescue Sun, but were unable to use their full strength without risking Sun's safety. After noticing Stakataka's many eyes, Sun had Moon shoot the Zygarde Cube with an arrow, releasing {{adv|Zygarde}} Cells everywhere. The Cells stuck to Stakataka, blinding it and preventing it from dodging Lunala's next attack. The battle alerted Necrozma, who released Solgaleo and leapt from the Megalo Tower to try and absorb Lunala as well. Lunala tried fighting back, but was overpowered. Moon and Sun sent out their Pokémon to help, but were stopped by Lusamine. Angered by her presence, Sun claimed that Lusamine was responsible for taking away his great-grandfather's island. Offended, Lusamine sent out a Nihilego and commanded it to become one with her.<br />
<br />
In ''[[PASM30|Madness!! Mother Lusamine!]]'', Necrozma fully absorbed Lunala to become its Dawn Wings form, it battled Lusamine and her team, who aimed to capture it. With one of the [[Beast Ball]]s that Lusamine dropped, Sun captured Stakataka and used it to battle Lusamine, who retaliated by sending out the rest of her Ultra Beasts to attack. At Soliera's suggestion, Moon attempted to stop Lusamine by capturing Nihilego with a Beast Ball, but the risk of Lusamine suffering negative side effects from a forced separation prevented her from firing the arrow. When Necrozma fled to the Megalo Tower, Lusamine and her Ultra Beasts chased it while Moon, Sun, and the Ultra Recon Squad members followed them. At the top, Moon attempted to capture Nihilego again, but was blinded by a bright light emanating from a wormhole Necrozma created. The wormhole sucked everyone into it and dropped them off in the skies above [[Mount Lanakila]]. After landing safely in a field of snow, an unconscious Moon was found by [[Ryuki]] and carried off to somewhere else. Later, she found herself trapped in a cage at Aether Paradise by Faba and Plumeria, who had dressed herself in Moon's previous outfit.<br />
<br />
Faba revealed that he had researched Moon's past in order to learn more about her. He also showed that Sun reunited with Lillie and they managed to safely separate Lusamine from Nihilego, but were forced to protect her while they battled Necrozma. After being freed by Gladion, they attempted to confront Faba, but were forced to battle [[Ryuki]] after he was tricked into attacking them. As her own Pokémon were hidden away by Faba, Gladion allowed Moon to use his Silvally while he stayed behind to face Ryuki. Moon fled to Secret Lab B and reunited with her Pokémon, only to be interrupted by a group of Aether Foundation Employees. Moon had her team fight off the Employees while she made medicine for Gladion and his Pokémon, leading to {{p|Dartrix}} evolving into {{p|Decidueye}}. Once the medicine was complete, Moon prepared to leave and meet with Gladion again, only to be approached by Lunala.<br />
<br />
Moon and Lunala traveled back to Mount Lanakila, where they regrouped with Anabel and Looker. Anabel revealed she was in possession of a Beast Ball and she intended to use it on Necrozma once Sun managed to weaken it enough. By combining Lunala, Solgaleo, and Zygarde's attacks, Moon and Sun managed to down Necrozma, but it mustered enough strength to destroy Anabel's Beast Ball. Sun revealed he picked up the Beast Ball Moon tried using on Lusamine earlier. The last Beast Ball was given to Zossie, who captured Necrozma in the hopes that the Ultra Recon Squad could potentially heal its injured state.<br />
<br />
Several months later, Moon had returned to Sinnoh, but eventually decided to move to Alola permanently. On a video phone, she spoke to Kukui, who told Moon about the changes to the people of Alola that had happened while she was away. After hanging up, Moon was called by her sister, who told her that they needed to start preparing for the move.<br />
<br />
==={{MangaArc|Sword & Shield}}===<br />
In ''[[PASS30|Oh My!! The Disappearance of Henry]]'', [[Oleana]] mentioned Moon to {{Casey}} and [[Marvin]] when discussing {{p|Eternatus}}'s poison, believing she might know something about how to negate its effects. She was later called in ''[[PASS31|Flutter!! Tickets to a New Land]]'' by [[Klara]] and explained how to make an antidote to cure {{Henry}}.<br />

'''Sapphire Birch''' (Japanese: '''オダマキ・サファイア''' ''Sapphire Odamaki'') is a [[Pokédex holder|main character]] in the {{pkmn|manga}} series [[Pokémon Adventures]].<br />
<br />
==Character==<br />
Sapphire is a Pokémon Trainer and the daughter of [[Professor Birch]]. She often assists her father with his fieldwork and years of doing so have given her various skills such as heightened physical strength and senses. Due to constantly being surrounded by nature, she has come to dislike the idea of beautifying Pokémon instead of leaving them in their natural state. After some character development, she has learned to appreciate the idea of beauty.<br />
<br />
For her skills, she is given the title of '''"[[Gym|Conqueror]]"''' ({{tt|究める者|きわめるもの}} ''Conqueror'').<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
{{Spoilers}}<br />
===Prior to {{MangaArc|Ruby & Sapphire}}===<br />
As a young child, Sapphire had a childhood friend named {{adv|Ruby}} that she played with. One day, Ruby fought a {{TP|Zinnia|Salamence}} that attacked them and won, but was injured in the process. Terrified from the experience, Sapphire broke down crying. Believing that Ruby got injured because of her own weakness, Sapphire vowed to become stronger.<br />
<br />
==={{MangaArc|Ruby & Sapphire}}===<br />
[[File:Young Sapphire Adventures.png|thumb|left|170px|Sapphire, five years before the {{MangaArc|Ruby & Sapphire}}]]<br />
[[File:Sapphire RS Adventures.png|thumb|220px|Sapphire's original outfit]]<br />
Sapphire debuted in ''[[PS182|Making Mirth with Mightyena]]''. She rescued {{adv|Ruby}} from a pair of {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Mightyena}} at {{rt|101|Hoenn}} and took him to her [[Secret Base]] to recover. When Sapphire tried talking to Ruby later, he mistook Sapphire for talking Pokémon due to her leaf cloak. Ruby's {{p|Poochyena}}, [[Nana]], bit Sapphire, angering her into removing the cloak and attacking him with her {{p|Torchic}}, [[Chic]]. Overhearing the incident on his [[Pokégear]], Professor Birch revealed to Ruby that Sapphire is actually his daughter. Though the misunderstanding was cleared, Sapphire and Ruby were attacked by a wild {{p|Seviper}}. Ruby refused to fight as to not risk dirtying his Pokémon, forcing Sapphire to defeat the Tail Snake Pokémon by herself. Afterward, the two began arguing over their interests, which ended with Sapphire deciding to make a bet to see who could conquer their respective goal within an 80-day time limit. After Ruby agreed, Sapphire fainted from the injuries she received from protecting Ruby from the Mightyena earlier. Ruby healed Sapphire's wounds and modified a spare set of his clothes for Sapphire to wear.<br />
<br />
In ''[[PS184|Distracting Dustox]]'', Sapphire went back to [[Littleroot Town]] and returned the items and {{p|Treecko}} Ruby had accidentally taken from Professor Birch earlier with the exception of his [[Pokédex]]. Later that day, Sapphire changed into the clothes Ruby made for her and set out with Chic and [[Rono]] to begin her journey to conquer all of Hoenn's Gyms.<br />
<br />
In ''[[PS188|Lombre Larceny]]'', Sapphire rescued [[Mr. Stone]]'s [[Fofo|Castform]] from being trapped in a fountain at {{rt|104|Hoenn}}. A trio of Pokémon emerged from the fountain and stole an item from Mr. Stone before running off. With an injured Mr. Stone on her back, Sapphire, [[Gabby and Ty|Gabby, and Ty]] chased the Pokémon to the [[Petalburg Woods]], where they found that they were under the ownership of [[Shelly]], [[Matt]], and {{adv|Amber}}. Sapphire was unable to defeat the [[Team Aqua]] members, but with Castform's help, she and the others managed to escape. Afterward, Sapphire apologized for her failure and received a [[Letter]] from Mr. Stone addressed to his son, {{Steven}}.<br />
<br />
[[File:Sapphire first outfit.png|thumb|right|170px|Sapphire wearing leaf clothing]]<br />
In ''[[PS190|Blowing Past Nosepass I]]'', Sapphire arrived at the [[Rustboro Gym]], where she challenged the [[Gym Leader]], [[Roxanne]]. By exploiting [[Roxanne's Nosepass]]'s inability to face in directions other than north, Sapphire managed to defeat the Compass Pokémon and earn the {{Badge|Stone}}. Afterward, in ''[[PS192|Stick This in Your Craw, Crawdaunt I]]'', Sapphire summoned her father's {{p|Wailord}}, Lorry, from the ocean and had it take her to [[Dewford Town]].<br />
<br />
In ''[[PS193|Stick This in Your Craw, Crawdaunt! II]]'', Sapphire arrived at Dewford Town, where she met [[Brawly]], the Gym Leader and a surfer. Brawly told Sapphire he was going on a trip and she only had until the next day to challenge him before the Gym would be closed for several days. Afterward, Sapphire went to look for a place to train and encountered Ruby. In ''[[PS194|Guile from Mawile]]'', Sapphire and Ruby entered [[Granite Cave]], but went their separate ways. Sapphire used the location as a place to train Chic and Rono, who both ended up evolving into a {{p|Combusken}} and {{p|Lairon}}, respectively.<br />
<br />
In ''[[PS195|Mashing Makuhita]]'', Sapphire challenged the [[Dewford Gym]], where she struggled due to Brawly's mastery of the subtlety fighting style. Despite this, Sapphire managed to win by having Chic counter Brawly's newly evolved {{TP|Brawly|Hariyama}} with a powerful {{m|Double Kick}} earning her the {{Badge|Knuckle}}. Afterward, a loud noise erupted from Granite Cave, and Sapphire went there to see if Ruby was safe. Ruby was unharmed and revealed he met Steven, who saved him from a group of wild Pokémon before leaving. Wanting to catch up with Steven, Sapphire grabbed Ruby and had Lorry swim in the direction Steven headed towards.<br />
<br />
In ''[[PS198|Adding It Up with Plusle & Minun I]]'', Sapphire forced Ruby to stay the night on the [[Abandoned Ship]]. The ship was invaded by [[Courtney]] and [[Tabitha]], members of [[Team Magma]] that were after a [[Scanner]] located in the area. With the help of a wild {{TP|Sapphire|Minun}} and {{TP|Ruby|Plusle}}, Sapphire and Ruby managed to escape, but ended up losing the Scanner to the villains. Afterward, they said their goodbyes to Minun and Plusle.<br />
<br />
After parting ways with Ruby, Sapphire arrived at [[Mauville City]] in ''[[PS203|I'm Your Biggest Fan, Donphan]]''. There, she helped the Gym Leader, [[Wattson]], and his friend, the [[Trick Master]] deal with a wild rampaging {{p|Donphan}}. After the clash caused all four to end up falling into the secret underground city, [[New Mauville]], Sapphire teamed up with the Trick Master and Donphan to defeat an out-of-control electrical generator robot and turn New Mauville into an amusement park for children to play in. Afterward, Sapphire obtained the {{Badge|Dynamo}} and set off with Donphan, who joined her team and was named Phado.<br />
<br />
In ''[[PS212|Bubble Bubble Toil and Azumarill I]]'' , Sapphire arrived at the base of [[Mt. Chimney]], where she fought against [[Matt]] in the Cable Car to rescue [[Flannery]], the Gym Leader of [[Lavaridge Town]]. After Matt was defeated, Sapphire summoned her father's {{p|Tropius}}, [[Troppy]], to take her and Flannery to the top of Mt. Chimney so they could confront Matt's allies. After they arrived, Sapphire and Flannery learned that Team Aqua's goal was to trick [[Professor Cozmo]] in helping them halt Mt. Chimney's volcanic activity. Despite her best efforts, Sapphire's attempt to stop Team Aqua was blocked by {{adv|Amber}} until it was too late. With their plan successful, Team Aqua escaped and took Professor Cozmo with them.<br />
<br />
After failing to pursue Team Aqua, Sapphire returned to Flannery and found that she managed to revive Mt. Chimney, but only temporarily. Using what little time Mt. Chimney had remaining, Sapphire and Flannery took a dip in a hot spring, where they had their Gym battle. Afterward, Flannery revealed she planned on meeting with the other Gym Leaders to discuss what to do with Team Aqua. After receiving the {{Badge|Heat}}, Sapphire set off to [[Fortree City]] for her next Gym battle.<br />
<br />
In ''[[PS226|I Dare Ya, Altaria... Knock Chic off My Shoulder!]]'', Sapphire arrived at Fortree City, where she met the Gym Leader, [[Winona]] and challenged her to a battle. Despite Chic evolving into a {{p|Blaziken}}, Sapphire lost, but agreed to become Winona's student and train with her. Winona then asked Sapphire to help her and the other Gym Leaders deal with the upcoming awakening of the {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Kyogre}}. When [[Wallace]] arrived to meet with his fellow Gym Leaders, Sapphire was shocked to find Ruby there with him.<br />
<br />
In ''[[PS227|I'm Always Grumpig First Thing in the Morning I]]'', after being left alone together, Sapphire and Ruby tried apologizing for their previous arguments, only for an earthquake to startle a group of wild {{p|Spoink}} and {{p|Grumpig}} into stampeding. Ruby instinctively defeated the Grumpig, accidentally revealing to Sapphire that he wasn't a weak Trainer like she had assumed. Though mad at Ruby for lying to her, Sapphire noted that with Ruby's strength, he could help the Gym Leaders with the upcoming crisis in Hoenn. When Ruby stated he had no interest in helping, Sapphire angrily removed the clothes he made for her, changed into a new leaf outfit, and told Ruby that she never wanted to see him again.<br />
[[File:Sapphire second outfit Adventures.png|thumb|left|170px|Sapphire's second outfit]]<br />
In ''[[PS231|Master Class with Masquerain]]'', Sapphire challenged Winona to another training session and won, earning the {{Badge|Feather}} in the process. In ''[[PS235|The Beginning of the End with Kyogre & Groudon III]]'', massive {{a|Drought|heat wave}} struck Fortree City, evaporating the water and burning the plants to ash in an instant. Realizing that both {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Groudon}} and Kyogre have awakened, Sapphire and the Gym Leaders split into three groups of two to try and stop the disasters while rescuing any civilians caught up in the incident. Sapphire and Winona went to {{rt|123|Hoenn}}, where Sapphire encountered a {{p|Relicanth}} that had been forcibly pushed to dry land due to how rough the waves were. After it saved them from an incoming tsunami, Sapphire decided to keep Relicanth until it was healed, naming it Relly in the process. Afterward, Sapphire and Winona met [[Tate and Liza]]'s grandparents, the former guardians of [[Mt. Pyre]]. The elderly couple revealed that fighting Groudon and Kyogre is useless and the best way to stop the conflict is to go to the [[Seafloor Cavern]] and stop the one controlling them with the [[Red Orb|Red]] and [[Blue Orb]]s. Due to the Seafloor Cavern being located deep underwater, Sapphire and the others had no way of reaching that location.<br />
<br />
In ''[[PS238|The Beginning of the End with Kyogre & Groudon VI]]'', Sapphire and Winona were approached by Ruby and Wallace, the former stating he had a change of heart and has decided to help stop the crisis. Ruby revealed that Relly had the ability to take two children down to the Seafloor Cavern. After being a handed a new set of clothes, Sapphire and Ruby used Relly's power to {{m|Dive}} into the water.<br />
<br />
In ''[[PS243|No Armaldo Is an Island]]'', Sapphire and Ruby arrived at the Seafloor Cavern, where they battled a group of {{tc|Team Aqua Grunt|Team Magma}} and {{tc|Team Magma Grunt|Aqua Grunts}} and won. In ''[[PS248|The Beginning of the End with Kyogre & Groudon X]]'', they encountered [[Archie]] and [[Maxie]], the respective leaders of Team Aqua and Team Magma. After managing to subdue the leaders, Ruby tried taking the Blue and Red Orbs from them, only to find that they've been absorbed into their hands. The leaders are possessed by the orbs, putting them under Kyogre and Groudon's control. With their new power, Archie and Maxie create a vortex of energy that lifts them, Sapphire, Ruby, and the Grunts out of the Seafloor Cavern and to the surface. They then fly towards [[Sootopolis City]], where Kyogre and Groudon planned to restart their ancient battle.<br />
<br />
In ''[[PS252|The Beginning of the End with Kyogre & Groudon XIV]]'', Sapphire and Ruby were taken to Sootopolis City, where they were forced to watch Kyogre and Groudon's clash with no way of stopping it. When Winona and Wallace came to help, Sapphire and Ruby suggested running away. After being reminded of a childhood friend they wanted to see again, Sapphire and Ruby regained their resolve. Sapphire and Ruby had Chic and [[Mumu]] fire their attacks on the Grant Meteor fragment, creating a blast of energy that hit Archie and Maxie where the Blue and Red Orbs were located. Though successful in removing the Orbs, the attack created a giant explosion that engulfed the entirety of Sootopolis.<br />
<br />
In ''[[PS253|A Royal Rumble with Regirock, Regice & Registeel I]]'', Sapphire encountered Steven and gave the Letter to him. With it along with Lorry and Relly, Sapphire and Steven managed to awaken the sleeping Legendary Pokémon, {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Regice}}, and {{p|Registeel}}. A second explosion separated the two, and Sapphire later awakened with Ruby in a different location, where they met [[Juan]], [[Tate and Liza|Tate, and Liza]]. Juan had taken the two to {{gdis|Mirage Island|III}} with the intent of training them for a rematch with Kyogre and Groudon. Due to Mirage Island's special properties, the time Sapphire and Ruby spent training would differ than from the outside world, making a single day be a week elsewhere and vice versa. During their stay, Rono evolved into an {{p|Aggron}}, and the two reunited with Minun and Plusle, who were forced to relocate after Kyogre destroyed the Abandoned Ship. Later, Juan revealed the true purpose of the training was to help Sapphire and Ruby master the Blue and Red Orbs that entered their bodies after being forced out of Archie and Maxie. Once their training had finished, Sapphire and Ruby prepared to head back to Sootopolis. As acknowledgement of her strength, Juan presented Sapphire with the {{badge|Rain}} while Tate and Liza gave her the {{badge|Mind}}.<br />
<br />
In ''[[PS259|Rayquaza Redemption II]]'', Sapphire confessed to Ruby that she had developed feelings for him. She admitted that the bet was made to fulfill a promise to a childhood friend who suggested they beat all eight Gym Leaders before they turned eleven to surpass {{adv|Red}}, a Trainer that beat the Pokémon League at that age. Sapphire then asked Ruby to give up on his previous statement of wanting to return to his home region of [[Johto]] and stay in Hoenn with her. After making their way back to Sootopolis, Ruby had Sapphire release the Blue Orb before locking her inside Wallace's aircar. Ruby showed Sapphire the scar on his forehead, revealing to Sapphire that he was the boy she knew from her younger years. After admitting he returned Sapphire's feelings but didn't want her to get hurt and, Ruby set off with Courtney to battle against Kyogre and Groudon.<br />
<br />
Eventually, Ruby managed to successfully use the Orbs to pacify Kyogre and Groudon, forcing both Pokémon to return to their eternal slumber. In ''[[PS265|It All Ends Now VI]]'', Ruby was attacked by Archie and Maxie, who returned and decided to work together and eliminate any obstacle before awakening Kyogre and Groudon again to continue their battle. Sapphire and Wallace came to Ruby's aid, but the latter was forced to give up in order to protect Winona, leading to his defeat.<br />
<br />
In ''[[PS267|It All Ends Now VIII]]'', Sapphire and Ruby teamed up to battle Archie and Maxie one last time. Using the battle as a distraction, Archie and Maxie tried escaping in Wallace's aircar, but were defeated by a combination attack from Plusle and Minun, trapping them in a large electrical field. Ruby then released his sixth Pokémon, {{adv|Celebi}}, who proceeded to take the Blue and Red Orbs from the villains. Using its [[Time travel|time-traveling]] powers, Celebi restored those who died in the battle back to life and then shattered the two Orbs, finally ending the crisis in Hoenn.<br />
<br />
Sapphire and Ruby awakened on the Pokémon Association airship, where their allies congratulated them on their victory. With only one day remaining, Sapphire and Ruby set off to complete their Gym and Contest challenges. The next day, Sapphire and Ruby met at Sapphire's Secret Base, where they revealed they successfully completed their goals, ending the bet in a tie. Afterward, both children returned home to celebrate both of their birthdays.<br />
<br />
==={{MangaArc|Emerald}}===<br />
[[File: Sapphire Adventures.png|thumb|left|200px|Sapphire in the Emerald arc]]<br />
In ''[[PS320|Verily Vanquishing Vileplume II]]'', Sapphire and Ruby arrived at the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} in order to assist {{adv|Emerald}}, the third Hoenn Pokédex holder, in protecting {{adv|Jirachi}} from the armored man, [[Guile Hideout]]. After meeting Emerald, the boy ran off saying that he didn't need their help. In an attempt to befriend Emerald, Sapphire and Ruby competed in a [[Battle Dome]] tournament. Sapphire advanced to the semi-finals, but was defeated by [[Tucker]]. Afterward, Emerald got frustrated by their constant pestering that he had Sapphire and Ruby thrown out of the Battle Dome.<br />
<br />
In ''[[PS322|A Cheeky Charizard Change-Up II]]'', Sapphire and Ruby encountered [[Spenser]], who noted Sapphire's connection to the Blue Orb. Finding Spenser's behavior suspicious, Sapphire and Ruby recorded their conversation with him on Ruby's Memory Lighter. In ''[[PS325|Standing in the Way with Starmie]]'', Spenser revealed that Guile managed to catch Jirachi and fled with it to the {{gdis|Battle Tower|III}}. Sapphire, Ruby, Emerald, and [[Noland]] all traveled to the Battle Tower in order to confront the man. After making their way into the area, they discovered that [[Anabel]] had been put under Guile's control.<br />
<br />
In ''[[PS327|Facing Gulpin Is Hard to Swallow]]'', Guile forced the Hoenn Pokédex holders and Noland to take the Battle Tower challenge in order to make it to him. The four battled through various Virtual Trainers before finally reaching the top floor, where Emerald faced off against Anabel. During the battle, {{adv|Eon duo|Latios}} arrived and used its Sight Sharing to relay a message from Spenser, who revealed that he came in contact with the Blue Orb in the past and gained the ability to detect others like him, which included Guile. With his identity exposed, Guile lifted his helmet, revealing himself to be Archie.<br />
<br />
In ''[[PS328|The Final Battle I]]'', Guile used Jirachi's wishing granting power to summon a giant Kyogre-shaped mass of seawater and had it flood the Battle Frontier. Sapphire and the others were assisted by the Johto Pokédex holders, {{adv|Gold}} and {{adv|Crystal}}, who revealed that their fellow Pokédex holder were turned to stone and the only way of reviving them was Jirachi. While Gold and Crystal kept the Kyogre monster busy, the Hoenn Pokédex holders trained to learn the ultimate moves, {{m|Blast Burn}}, {{m|Hydro Cannon}}, and {{m|Frenzy Plant}}. After they succeeded, Emerald managed to get Jirachi to grant his wish to turn the petrified Pokédex holders back to normal.<br />
<br />
In ''[[PS334|The Final Battle VII]]'', the ten Pokédex holders gathered together to for one final battle against Guile and his army of rental Pokémon. By utilizing a triple Blast Burn, Hydro Cannon, Frenzy Plant, and {{m|Volt Tackle}} combination, the Kyogre sea monster was overloaded with energy and exploded, finally ending the conflict with Guile. In ''[[PS337|Epilogue]]'', Sapphire participated in a tournament between the Pokédex holders, which she lost at some point.<br />
<br />
==={{MangaArc|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}}===<br />
In the Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire arc, the Hoenn Pokédex holders were enlisted by Steven and Mr. Stone to prevent a [[Grand Meteor Delta|meteoroid]] from crashing into the Earth and destroying it. Steven gave the three a [[Mega Bracelet]], enabling them to use [[Mega Evolution]] and had them train with [[Ultima]] so Mumu, Chic, and {{TP|Emerald|Sceptile}} could fully master the Ultimate Moves. Ruby only agreed to help on the condition that Sapphire be kept in the dark about the meteoroid. While Sapphire and Emerald practiced with each other, Ruby had plans elsewhere and lent Mumu to Sapphire so it could train without him.<br />
<br />
In ''[[PS596|Metagross Investigates]]'', Sapphire trained her new {{p|Kirlia}}, Kirly, and Ruby's [[Rara]] in order to evolve them into a {{p|Gardevoir}} fighting pair. When she accidentally kicked up a [[Dawn Stone]], Kirly evolved into a {{p|Gallade}} instead. Later, Sapphire and Emerald fully mastered the Ultimate Moves with Ultima's guidance and gained the ability to use Mega Evolution. In order to prevent potential enemies from finding them, Mr. Stone had the training moved to the abandoned energy harvesting facility, [[Sea Mauville]].<br />
<br />
In ''[[PS601|Beedrill Prepares]]'', the group arrived at the Sea Mauville, where Sapphire reunited with Plusle and Minun, who had made the facility their new home. The next day, Sapphire and Emerald assisted Steven and Mr. Stone by putting Chic and Sceptile on a machine known as an [[ultimate weapon|Absorber]] and using the power of the Ultimate Moves in their Mega-Evolved forms. To their horror, the Absorber drained Chic and Sceptile of their life energy to fuel a machine known as the dimensional shifter.<br />
<br />
In ''[[PS604|Goodra Spits]]'', the [[Draconid people|Draconid]] Zinnia and a group of Team Aqua and Magma Grunts attacked the Sea Mauville in order to destroy the dimensional shifter. After Zinnia revealed the truth about the meteoroid, the shock of Ruby and the others lying to her caused Sapphire to lose her voice. During the clash, Zinnia managed to steal Sapphire's Mega Bracelet, and Sapphire ended up falling into a ring belonging to the Mythical Pokémon {{p|Hoopa}}. Sapphire was transported to the inside of a rocket located at [[Mossdeep City]], where she handed the dimensional shifter to Professor Cozmo and his [[Professor Cozmo's assistants|assistants]].<br />
<br />
In ''[[PS608|Groudon Returns]]'', Sapphire met with Steven and Mr. Stone again. While Mr. Stone oversaw the rocket's launch, Sapphire battled against Zinnia in order to prevent from interfering with it. Eventually, Sapphire lost and was sent flying, allowing Zinnia to knock the rocket into the water and destroy the dimensional shifter.<br />
<br />
[[File: Ruby Sapphire Contest outfits Adventures.png|thumb|left|200px|Ruby and Sapphire wearing their [[Contest Costume]]s]]<br />
In [[PS612]], Sapphire woke up at {{rt|120|Hoenn}}, where she landed after Zinnia defeated her. There, she met [[Aarune]], who saw her falling and rescued her. Later, Sapphire spotted Ruby with {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Rayquaza}} and confronted him about lying to her. After Ruby apologized, Sapphire agreed to help stop the meteoroid and jumped onto Rayquaza's head. To Sapphire's shock, Archie and Maxie also appeared with [[Primal Reversion|Primal]] Kyogre and Groudon. The four then teamed up to destroy a large piece of the meteoroid, combining the power of Hoenn's three super-ancient Pokémon into one attack to shatter it to pieces. After they succeeded, Sapphire used the [[Jade Orb]] core to peer into Rayquaza's mind, revealing it needed the power of Mega Evolution to defeat the actual meteoroid.<br />
<br />
In [[PS615]], Zinnia managed to lure Rayquaza away from Sapphire and Ruby, but her attempt to convince the Sky High Pokémon to join ended with it rejecting and attacking her. Zinnia was rescued by Latios and taken to Sootopolis City to recover from her injuries. Brought to tears, Zinnia gave up and admitted there was no way to save the planet anymore. Emerald disagreed and suggested the three factions that tried to stop the meteoroid work together instead of fighting with each other.<br />
<br />
In [[PS616]], the group's allies from around Hoenn gathered together to lend a hand and stop the meteoroid, now known as Grand Meteor Delta. After changing into their [[Contest Costume]]s and putting [[Aqua Suit|Aqua]] and [[Magma Suit]]s over them, Sapphire and Ruby set off with Rayquaza to space. With the power of Mega Rayquaza and the combined might of their allies from Hoenn, [[Kanto]], and Johto, Sapphire and Ruby successfully shattered Grand Meteor Delta into pieces. A {{DL|Deoxys (Adventures)|Organism No. 1|Deoxys}} emerged from the wreckage of the meteoroid, but was defeated when Rayquaza shattered its core, knocking it unconscious. Afterward, Rayquaza took Sapphire and Ruby back down to Earth, where they reunited with their friends.<br />
<br />
With the crisis averted, Sapphire and Ruby participated in a {{pkmn|Contest|Pokémon Contest Spectacular}} together.<br />
<br />
==={{MangaArc|Diamond & Pearl}}===<br />
In ''[[PS377|Hurrah for Rapidash]]'', Sapphire was mentioned, although not by name, when [[Byron]] compared {{adv|Platinum}} having earned six Badges in 25 days to Sapphire's achievement of earning eight Badges in 80 days.<br />
<br />
In ''[[PS408|High-tailing It from Haunter]]'', Sapphire was briefly seen together with the other [[Pokédex holder]]s from [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], and [[Hoenn]] when the [[Advanced level Grunt]] was talking to {{adv|Diamond}} about the [[Pokédex]].<br />
<br />
==Pokémon==<br />
In the original version, Sapphire follows a "one syllable, then another syllable repeated twice" pattern in her nicknames with Chic being the only exception.

* Sapphire was the first character to successfully earn every Gym Badge in her home region. {{adv|Red}} challenged Gyms as well; although Red defeated every Gym Leader in [[Kanto]], he never did obtain an {{Badge|Earth}}. {{adv|Silver}}, who also owned eight Badges, simply stole his from the Gym Leaders of Johto instead of winning them in Gym battles.<br />

* Sapphire is {{ga|May}}'s only counterpart who is not a [[Pokémon Coordinator]].<br />

* In Japanese, she speaks in the {{wp|Hakata dialect}}.<br />
* While Sapphire has not been shown with an upgraded [[Pokédex]], [[PokéSPedia]] reveals she does in fact have one.<br />

'''Blue''' (Japanese: '''グリーン''' ''Green'') is a [[Pokédex holder|main character]] in the {{pkmn|manga}} series [[Pokémon Adventures]]. He is the grandson of {{adv|Professor Oak}}.<br />
<br />
In the fandom, it is sometimes assumed that his full name is '''Blue Oak''' (Japanese: '''オーキド・グリーン''' ''Green Ōkido'') like his {{pkmn|animated series}} counterpart [[Gary Oak]], but this has never been confirmed in official media.<br />
<br />
==Character==<br />
Blue has a serious, calm, and focused personality in everything he does. Although {{adv|Red}} and Blue were once bothered by each other because their personalities are so opposite, they ended up resolving their differences.<br />
<br />
Blue and his {{TP|Blue|Scyther}} were trained by Chuck of Cianwood City when he was seven.<ref>[http://corocoro.tv/pokesp/qa/qa_a_251_260.html#no251 Netkun Q&A No. 251] (Japanese)</ref> Thus, Blue has some cursory knowledge of martial arts, and his Scyther knew [[Generation II]] techniques.<br />
<br />
Blue's special skill, as described by {{adv|Professor Oak}}, is [[Pokémon training]]—that is, leveling them up and making them strong, and as such is referred to as the '''"{{pkmn|Trainer}}"''' (Japanese: {{tt|育てる者|そだてるもの}} ''Trainer'').<br />
<br />
Blue also has a rivalry with [[Koga]] of [[Team Rocket]]. This began when Blue almost killed Koga's {{p|Arbok}} by having his {{p|Charmeleon}} {{m|cut}} it in two, and continued on throughout the series until Koga's reclusion.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
{{Spoilers}}<br />
===Prior to {{MangaArc|Red, Green & Blue}}===<br />
When Blue was a child, [[Chuck]] trained him in the ways of fighting and [[Pokémon training]].<br />
<br />
Blue received his {{p|Charmander}} from Professor Oak prior to his debut in the manga.<br />
<br />
==={{MangaArc|Red, Green & Blue}}===<br />
[[File:Blue RGB chapter.png|thumb|200px|left|Blue in the first arc]]<br />
<br />
Blue was first seen by Red when he was battling a Mew with his Charmander, only to recall it after he thought it was too strong for him. This angered Red to a point that he decided to challenge Mew himself, only to be quickly defeated. Blue then told Red that he needs to know when he's outmatched and leaves. He then encounters Blue again who is attacking any Pokémon he sees to tell if they are worthy of catching, accidentally hitting Red's [[Poli]] in the process, but eventually the Pokémon he wanted to capture in the first place appeared, {{p|Kangaskhan}}, however it got away after Red healed the baby Kangaskhan who had been poisoned by a Poison-type Pokémon. It is this incident where a rivalry develops between these two. He is next seen in Pewter City with intent on challenging Brock and is later seen battling him with his newly evolved {{p|Charmeleon}}. He then goes to the Pokémon Tower after meeting Mr. Fuji, only to be caught under the control of the {{p|Gastly}}, until Red defeats them and frees him. The two of them eventually run into [[Koga]], who has been controlling the Gastly this whole time, however Blue eventually has his Charmeleon cut Koga's {{p|Arbok}} in half, making Koga swear a personal vendetta against him.<br />
<br />
[[File:Blue Adventures RGB.png|thumb|250px|right|Blue's original design]]<br />
During the course of their adventures, Red and Blue accidentally traded Pokémon, including his new {{p|Porygon}}, which the man at the front desk of the Game Corner said would be very difficult to train since he didn't catch it himself. This caused Blue's {{p|Machoke}} to evolve, and Blue took the opportunity to teach Red's Pokémon more exotic, varied, and useful moves. Red's training on Blue's Pokémon made them more playful and lighthearted, something that greatly annoyed Blue.<br />
<br />
After he unsuccessfully tries to enter Saffron City, he returns to Pallet Town to tell Red about the barrier. He tells Red that he believes from a picture he took that Saffron City is Team Rocket's hideout, and Blue in turn learns that his grandfather is missing. He then tells Red that since it is his grandfather that is missing, that he should be the only one to save him, and wants him to back off, although Green finally convinces the two of them to work together. They get separated in Silph Co. and ends up running into Koga on 2F, who, instead of allowing Blue to reach his Poké Balls, subdues him with his {{p|Muk}}. He tells Blue that rather than kill him on the spot, he wants to use him to get his grandfather to cooperate with them, to which Blue refuses. He then takes a Razor Wind to the chest and is seemingly rendered incapable of moving. When Red appears after defeating [[Lt. Surge]], Koga traps him too. Blue reveals that he was really wearing a reflective pendant given to him by Oak and that allowed him to have his Pidgeot attack Koga before he could kill both of them. Koga then calls his {{p|Articuno}} and freezes the two of them, only for Koga to realize that Blue previously called out his Charizard to keep the room warm enough for them to melt the ice. Koga was then subsequently defeated. Green then took Koga's Soul Badge and gave it to Red. They split up, Red to help Green, and Blue to save his grandfather, who was trapped in the basement, which he found out using Koga's Golbat. He finds his grandpa and realizes that all of the people from [[Pallet Town]] are tied up just a floor below them. He comes back in order to help Red and Green fight Sabrina and {{DL|Legendary birds (Adventures)|Thu-Fi-Zer}}, and, after Red's [[Saur]] evolves and Green's Clefairy evolves into a Clefable, they defeat Sabrina and Thu-Fi-Zer is split.<br />
<br />
At the [[Pokémon League]] tournament, Red's [[Saur|Venusaur]] barely defeats Blue's {{TP|Blue|Charizard}}. This tames their rivalry as the two finally begin to respect each other, and begin to become friendly rivals.<br />
<br />
Blue's cockiness becomes subdued as the story continues, and his personality becomes less mocking and more aloof and quiet. He is also able to rely on instinct more and constantly adapt his strategy. He often becomes flummoxed by {{adv|Green}}'s hyperactive meddling in everyone's affairs.<br />
<br />
==={{MangaArc|Yellow}}===<br />
[[File:Blue Y chapter.png|thumb|right|200px|Blue in the second arc]]<br />
Blue is first seen defeating a Gastly that all of the good Gym Leaders and Yellow were fighting. He then reveals that it had belonged to [[Agatha]] whom he had battle previously at the [[Kanto Power Plant]] due to the grudge she has toward his grandfather. He then says that he had cut off all contact with him just so nobody could listen in. Before he leaves Yellow wishes to train with him, which he allows.<br />
<br />
[[File:Blue child.png|thumb|left|200px|Younger Blue under Chuck's training]]<br />
Then he recalls to Yellow the time when he battled against Agatha. It was back during the time of the first arc when Red was battling Giovanni. Blue had just caught a Lapras that another boy named [[Evan]] was eyeing because he wanted a strong Pokémon so he could enter the Power Plant to save his Haunter which disappeared into there. He talked to his grandfather and he had heard similar rumors so Blue decided to investigate. He defeated several Magneton along the way before he finally encountered Agatha. After Evan let it slip that Blue was Oak's grandson she decided to destroy him instead of toy with him like she had planned initially. She had her Gengar use Hypnosis on him and then use Dream Eater to drain his power. His dream was of when he was training with Chuck and he made him do things without the help of his Pokémon and after he complained, Chuck made him realize that not only must a Pokémon be strong to defeat an opponent, but so must a Trainer. He then has his Golduck transfer his thoughts into his Pokédex for Evan to read and have him learn the same lesson, so he could rescue his Haunter which was in Poké Ball behind Agatha so its attack would disrupt Gengar's Dream Eater. This plan works and after Blue escapes, Agatha disappears before he could get any answers on how she knows his grandfather.<br />
<br />
He tutors {{adv|Yellow}} in more intense strategies for {{pkmn|battle}}s. It is during this training that Blue learns that Yellow doesn't know the basics of Pokémon. All of her Pokémon were given to her, she didn't know what moves [[Ratty]] knew and cried when it evolved since she didn't think it was Ratty anymore, and couldn't catch a simple {{p|Caterpie}} because she didn't want to hurt it so Blue had to catch it for her. He later teamed up with Yellow to defeat an entire pack of Mankey but when it became clear that Yellow could not defeat the leading Primeape he took it upon itself to defeat it with his Porygon. Yellow then goes off to continue training on her own.<br />
<br />
He then appears to Blaine at Cerise Island and the two of them try to take on the Elite Four, only for them to run into the three Rocket Admins, [[Koga]], [[Lt. Surge]], and [[Sabrina]].<br />
<br />
Later, he is paired up with Koga by Sabrina's Spoons of Destiny. Before he finds an opponent, he returns Golbat to Koga, which he had kept with him ever since the incident at Silph Co. The pair of them fight [[Agatha]] of the [[Elite Four]] once again but, during the battle, Blue and Golbat are separated from Koga. Agatha's Haunter then paralyzes Blue by using {{m|Lick}} on his eyes. He is forced to use Koga's Golbat once again, applying its echolocation to realize that there was another Golbat coming at him. After a while of evading the Golbat, Koga started throwing shuriken balls containing Paralyze Heals, one of which got to Blue and he was able to rejoin the battle, and defeat Agatha. Although it turns out that Agatha wasn't really defeated and was actually having her Gengar become Koga and Blue's shadow and was slowly sucking the life out of them and due to Koga's quick loss of blood Gengar was able to get away with this for a moderate time. They figured it out, however, and it was defeated.<br />
<br />
==={{MangaArc|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}===<br />
[[File:Blue GSC chapter.png|thumb|200px|left|Blue in the third arc]]<br />
Blue first appears in the third arc to take on the role of the [[Viridian City]] Gym Leader after Red declines the offer of the position. After capturing several Pokémon that were attracted to the Gym because of the Pokémon March Radio that was being played, he is given the title without the need for proper registration. He informs Red of a way to heal the frostbite that he had gotten from Lorelei's ice cuffs and lets him borrow his Charizard to help him get there easier. He also mentions Sabrina possibly being there, also healing her frostbitten wounds.<br />
<br />
Later, Blue, along with the Kanto and Johto Gym Leaders, travel to Indigo Plateau to take part in the tournament being hosted there. Picking the white [[Apricorn]] that determines the match up, Blue is put against his old master, [[Chuck]]. While waiting in his room for his match, he gets a call telling him that his match is coming up and contemplates about Red giving him his [[Gyara]] for his Charizard. He feels a powerful wave of heat and leaves the room to find {{adv|Silver}} attacking him.<br />
<br />
Believing that the other was the one who had created the intense heat, they have a brief battle that ends when they find the real culprit, an {{p|Entei}}. They battle the Entei with their {{p|Gyarados}} but it attacks with a {{m|Flamethrower}} and disappears.<br />
<br />
He tells Daisy about what happened and goes to his match against Chuck after Silver runs away. Having flashbacks to the time when they train together, Blue battles and eventually defeats his former master with his newly trained {{p|Rhydon}}.<br />
<br />
Once Team Rocket attacks Indigo Plateau, Blue, along with the other Gym Leaders, attack the grunts to try to prevent them from leaving the [[Magnet Train]]. As the Magnet Train speeds off in order to get the Gym Leaders away from the stadium, they are all rescued by the now-healed Red. While the Gym Leaders fight off the remaining grunts, Blue and Red go ahead on Blue's Rhydon and head back to the Stadium. While digging, they are encountered by their old enemies, Bruno and Koga who help them dig through the rock and reveal the plans of the [[Masked Man]].<br />
<br />
Following Red's spoon of fate, they end up in the [[Ilex Forest]] where they witness Green battling [[Karen]] and [[Will]] with her recently captured [[legendary birds]]. Blue and Red join the fight by taking command of {{p|Zapdos}} and {{p|Articuno}}, respectively. After a long battle, the two legendary Pokémon are calmed down by the efforts of many Pokémon sent by the people of Kanto and Johto to help them.<br />
<br />
With Ho-Oh and Lugia gone, Blue, Red, and Green go to battle the Masked Man and are joined by Silver, Yellow, and Crystal. As the battle continues, the Masked Man uses his powers to freeze the [[Pokédex holder]]s in a block of ice. After a combination of the water from [[Mt. Silver]] and the powerful flames of Entei, Blue and the others are freed from their icy prison and use their powers to help Gold, who has gone inside of the Ilex shrine to battle the Masked Man from inside.<br />
<br />
After the Masked Man is defeated, Blue attempts to arrest Silver for his previous thefts of Professor Oak's Pokédex and Professor Elm's {{p|Totodile}}. Before he can, Gold suddenly reappears and shows a fake picture that he previously made and states that Silver is not the one on the picture and thus, isn't the one who had done those crimes.<br />
<br />
==={{MangaArc|FireRed & LeafGreen}}===<br />
[[File:Blue Adventures.png|thumb|right|150px|Blue in the fifth arc]]<br />
Blue and Red are seen in the fifth arc going to Professor Oak's lab at his request. Instead of finding the Professor there, they find a [[Fame Checker]] with a message telling them to return their Pokédexes. After returning the Pokédexes, they head to Vermilion City and board the [[Seagallop|Seagallop Ferry]] and meet up with {{adv|Bill}} again.<br />
<br />
After some exploring, they find Green being attacked by an invisible Pokémon and attempt to rescue her. While Red saves Green, Blue attempts to attack the unknown Pokémon but it disappears before he can hit it. They take the unconscious Green to a Pokémon Center and find out that she was going to the Sevii Islands to meet up with the parents she was taken from when she was a child. Feeling that in order to beat the new enemy, they will need to become stronger and they are both attacked by the old woman of Cape Brink, [[Ultima]] who aims to help them become stronger.<br />
<br />
After some reluctance, they accept the offer and travel to Ultima's home to begin their training. After going through the first of the two trials they need to perform before the training can start, the two are shocked to find out that the third and last trial involves them battling each other. The two begin battling and neither are intending to lose the battle. Eventually, the battle ends in a tie and both [[Saur]] and Charizard end up learning the ultimate moves {{m|Frenzy Plant}} and {{m|Blast Burn}}, respectively.<br />
<br />
They find Ultima being attacked by the creature that had attacked Green earlier and attempt to use their new skills to defeat it but miss due to a lack of practice. After it is revealed that the Pokémon was actually Green's [[Ditty]] on disguise, Blue asks the Transform Pokémon to use its shape shifting abilities to transform into the unknown Pokémon once more, this time figuring out that it can transform. They are called by Bill to go to the [[Icefall Cave]] on [[Four Island]] and get the [[Vs. Seeker]] from him.<br />
<br />
They find out that the mysterious Pokémon may in fact be controlled by {{adv|Giovanni}} and are encountered by Lorelei, who wishes to help them fight against Team Rocket. Just then, they are attacked by [[Carr]], a member of the [[Three Beasts]] along with his teammates, [[Sird]] and [[Orm]]. They manage to escape from their grasp thanks to Lorelei but find out that the Three Beasts have put a hit out on the Kanto Pokédex holders and that they will destroy the Sevii Islands if they aren't brought to them.<br />
<br />
Red goes to battle Carr on [[Five Island]] while Lorelei goes to [[Seven Island]] to battle Sird; Blue goes to [[Six Island]] to battle Orm. While they battle, Blue is overrun by Orm's {{p|Shuckle}} and he is told that they have Professor Oak held captive. The battle continues and Blue manages to defeat Orm and his Shuckle army. Hoping that Red may have gotten information on his missing grandfather, Blue flies on his Charizard to Five Island but is nearly shot out of the sky by the Speed Forme of {{adv|Deoxys}}.<br />
<br />
Due to his painful defeat by the hands of Deoxys, Red becomes depressed, Green goes to try to cheer him up while Blue tells the rest of the group about his Grandfather's kidnapping. After Green finishes learning the third ultimate move, {{m|Hydro Cannon}}, and Red breaks out of his stupor, the group goes to defeat Team Rocket, this time with a new unexpected teammate, {{adv|Mewtwo}}. They travel to [[Trainer Tower]] and find Professor Oak and Green's parents tied up on top of the roof.<br />
<br />
When Blue and Green try to rescue them, it is revealed that they were only 3-D images and they are captured by mechanical arms before being rescued by Mewtwo. Mewtwo points the way to the real versions of Professor Oak and Green's parents and Blue uses his Pokémon to try to free them. Before he can, Trainer Tower's mother computer, "R", attacks them and stops his Pokémon in their tracks. Blue manages to defeat R with his Porygon2, infiltrating its computer network while freeing Professor Oak and Green's parents in the process.<br />
<br />
Soon after, they are attacked by a small army of Deoxys clones and they are forced to fight them off. They are then confronted by Giovanni who traps Mewtwo in a binding armor and sends the Deoxys clones to attack them. Blue attempts to attack Giovanni but he is just knocked back to the ground while Giovanni leaves to let the Deoxys clones to kill them. While Green and Professor Oak go and build the new Pokédex and Kimberly takes Green's parents to safety, Blue and Red are forced to fight off the Deoxys clones.<br />
<br />
Blue manages to connect with Mewtwo, thus having the ability to read its thoughts; this allows him to come up with a plan to free it from the M2Bind. Using the power of the three ultimate moves, Frenzy Plant, Blast Burn, and Hydro Cannon, Blue, Red, and Green manages to free Mewtwo from the M2Bind, allowing it to destroy R afterwards. Due to the previous battle being too exhausting, Blue lends his Charizard to Red so that he can chase after Giovanni and receives the new model Pokédex from Green.<br />
<br />
Later, Blue and Green witness the [[Team Rocket airship]] being blown up and set to crash into Vermilion City and rush to try to contain the damage. They find Silver and Giovanni surrounded by the flames of the rubble from the airship; Blue uses his Rhydon to rescue them. Although Silver thanks Blue for saving him, he states that he hates his father and Blue should've left Giovanni to die in the fire. Blue manages to convince Silver to change his mind after telling him about his past hatred of being the grandson of Professor Oak and how he is now proud to be called that. After Mewtwo and Yellow fall to the ground after being sent there by Red and Deoxys, Blue and Green notice the airship is about to crash and use their Pokémon to try to cushion the damage.<br />
<br />
Eventually, their Pokémon are unable to hold the airship and further and it crashes into Vermilion City. Luckily, the airship is moved by an unknown force and floats to the ground safely; Blue and the other Pokédex holders are seen joining together in their victory. After Deoxys thanks Red for his help and takes off to a faraway region, they are approached by Sird, who had previously fallen off the airship after Carr took it over and tried to crash it into Vermilion City. Sird attempts to capture Deoxys but Red, Blue, Green, Silver, Mewtwo, and Yellow (who was being held by Red) jump in front of the beam and are turned into stone as a result. He, along with the other four who were turned to stone, were shipped to the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} in a box by Professor Oak to be revived.<br />
<br />
==={{MangaArc|Emerald}}===<br />
For the most part of this arc, he, along with four other Pokédex holders, remained turned into stone. It was only at nearly the end of the arc that he and the others were liberated by {{adv|Emerald}} with the help of the wish-granting [[Mythical Pokémon]] {{adv|Jirachi}}.<br />
<br />
Once revived, Blue and the others find out that they are currently in a battle against the evil [[Guile Hideout]] and his {{p|Kyogre}}-shaped monster called the "Sea Demon" that he created with the power of Jirachi. Blue and the other nine Pokédex holders fight off Guile's army of rental Pokémon before being flooded by the power of the Sea Demon. After Gold and Red destroy Guile's armor, Blue and the others are seen with their Pokémon, ready to destroy the Sea Demon. With the combined powers of the four ultimate moves, Hydro Cannon, Blast Burn, Frenzy Plant, and {{m|Volt Tackle}}, they manage to blow up the Sea Demon, defeating it once and for all.<br />
<br />
The next day, after Guile is finally defeated, Blue and the others celebrate their victory and joins in a [[Battle Dome]] tournament that was suggested by Red, however, neither his victories or losses are known.<br />
<br />
==={{MangaArc|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}===<br />
[[File:Blue HGSS chapter.png|thumb|left|180px|Blue in the ninth arc]]<br />
It is revealed that the {{p|Rhyperior}} that Silver owns is in fact Blue's Rhydon evolved after they traded. Blue was shown in his updated design and to have gone with Silver to find Giovanni after the [[Pokédex holder]]s' victory in the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|IV}} against Guile Hideout; however, Giovanni was nowhere to be found due to the fact that more than three months had passed between the time they were petrified and freed.<br />
<br />
==={{MangaArc|Diamond & Pearl}}===<br />
In ''[[PS408|High-tailing It from Haunter]]'', Blue was briefly seen together with the other [[Pokédex holder]]s from [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], and [[Hoenn]] when the [[Advanced level Grunt]] was talking to {{adv|Diamond}} about the [[Pokédex]].<br />
<br />
In ''[[PS414|Double Trouble with Dialga and Palkia IV]]'', at the [[Spear Pillar]], Sird told the Team Galactic {{tc|Commander}}s about how she escaped from Red, Blue, Green, Yellow, and Silver by turning them into stone with her {{p|Darkrai}}.<br />
<br />
==={{MangaArc|X & Y}}===<br />
Here, it is revealed that in the past, Blue became one of [[Gurkinn]]'s disciples in learning the art of [[Mega Evolution]]. Blue first appears in the twelfth arc at [[Geosenge Town]], watching the battle between {{p|Xerneas}} and {{p|Yveltal}} end in a ceasefire due to the Legendary Pokémon being equal in strength. As Xerneas and its allies leave the area, he wonders if the battle between the two Pokémon could end if "Z" truly exists. Blue meets with [[Diantha]], an old acquaintance of his from his earlier trip to Kalos. Blue reveals to Diantha that he was told of Xerneas and Yveltal's awakening and is currently searching for "Z", which is the Legendary Pokémon {{adv|Zygarde}}. After Diantha agrees to help Blue on his quest, the two set off to search for clues.<br />
<br />
After some traveling, Blue and Diantha meet with {{adv|X}} and {{adv|Y}}, the Pokédex holders of the Kalos region. After helping X capture a wild {{p|Pinsir}}, Blue and Diantha head to the [[Lost Hotel]] to meet with Gurkinn. While X and his friends head to meet with [[Professor Sycamore]], Blue has Charizard and Rhyperior keep them safe on their travels. Once X's group reached their destination, Blue's Pokémon head back to their Trainer.<br />
<br />
Later, at [[Anistar City]], Blue and Diantha manage to find Zygarde, which had appeared in the area. Just as they land, [[Emma|Essentia]] manages to capture it for Team Flare before escaping.<br />
<br />
After learning that Team Flare had gone into hiding at [[Pokémon Village]], Blue, Diantha, and X's group all head out to confront the villains. On the way to the village, the group is attacked by Xerosic, who uses his Malamar to put everyone to sleep. After Blue manages to wake up, he has Y and the others go on ahead while he and X stay behind to fight Xerosic. With Blue's Mega Charizard Y and X's Mega Charizard X, the two proceed to easily defeat Xerosic. With no more obstacles remaining, Blue and X take to the skies and head towards the village, only to be intercepted by Yveltal. Y arrives just in time to defend Blue from Yveltal's attacks with her [[Xerxer]], who tells everyone to go on ahead while it fights Yveltal alone.<br />
<br />
While Y and Trevor go to help Tierno and Shauna battle the Team Flare scientists, Blue and X go to the Pokémon Village, only to find [[Lysandre]] in battle with Mewtwo. Lysandre reveals to the two that Mewtwo is the protector of the village and began attacking when Team Flare started to capture the Pokémon that lived in the village. Lysandre manipulates Mewtwo into battling Blue and X in an attempt to weaken it enough to be captured. Blue attempts to call out to Mewtwo and get it to recognize him, but his attempts end in failure. During the battle, Mewtwo attacks Blue and X, but redirects the attack towards Lysandre to hit him instead. Mewtwo then proceeds to Mega Evolve into Mega Mewtwo Y. Lysandre counters by summoning Essentia and having her use {{p|Zygarde}} to attack everyone.<br />
<br />
The person who Mega Evolved Mewtwo reveals himself to be Blaine, who had been away from the village, which he had been living at for some time after reuniting with Mewtwo. Lysandre has Essentia command Zygarde to use {{m|Land's Wrath}} to heavily damage everyone. The attack heavily damages Blaine, forcing Mewtwo to revert to its normal form. When Zygarde attacks again, Blaine has Mewtwo switch Mega Stones so that it may Mega Evolve into Mega Mewtwo X. Blaine reveals that due to their unique bond, Mewtwo is able to Mega Evolve more than once during a battle. Despite this ability, Zygarde proves to be more powerful than Mewtwo in its Mega-Evolved state and uses Land's Wrath to defeat Blue, Blaine, and Mewtwo at once. With his allies unconscious, X decides to borrow their Key Stones in order to simultaneously Mega Evolve his five capable Pokémon. With their combined power, X's team fights against Zygarde. When Lysandre attempts to stop X with his own Pokémon, Blue and Blaine arrive in time to defeat them. After some time, X manages to defeat Lysandre, freeing Zygarde from his control and putting an end to Team Flare in the process.<br />
<br />
Later, Blue and Blaine talk to Professor Sycamore about the final battle against Team Flare. They reveal that after Zygarde disappeared, a small green creature was spotted watching them from the rubble. Sycamore reveals that similar creatures, which he named the Zygarde Cell, have been seen in the [[Alola]] region and sends his assistants, [[Sina]] and [[Dexio]], to investigate.<br />

|desc={{p|Rhyperior}} was captured by Blue as a {{p|Rhydon}} in ''[[PS116|Rock, Paper...Scizor]]''. In the Indigo League preliminary rounds, Rhydon was used against Chuck, Blue's former teacher. Despite being recently captured, Blue quickly trained Rhydon to a high level with a combination of his abilities and a book written by {{adv|Giovanni}} called ''Secret Earth Arts'', which contained detailed information on {{type|Ground}} Pokémon that only the former [[Viridian City]] [[Gym Leader]] knew of. With these, Blue managed to defeat Chuck with Rhydon alone despite the type disadvantage, earning a win for the Kanto Gym Leaders. In the {{MangaArc|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}, Rhydon was traded to Silver to replace his missing {{p|Ursaring}}. With the [[Protector]] he held, Rhydon evolved into Rhyperior and stayed with him throughout the entire arc. Sometime before the {{MangaArc|X & Y}}, Silver returned Rhyperior to Blue. He is level 82, has a Mild [[nature]], and his [[Characteristic]] is "proud of its power."}}<br />

===Badges obtained===<br />

* {{Badge|Soul}} (''[[PS031|The Art of Articuno]]''; given away in ''[[PS031|The Art of Articuno]]'')<br />
<br />
===Pokémon League===<br />
Blue has competed in the following [[Pokémon League]]s:<br />
* Ninth Triennial [[Indigo League]] - Runner-up (''[[PS040|A Charizard...and a Champion]]'')<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
* Blue and {{adv|Green}} had their names switched around for the English translation. This is due to the complexity of [[Generation I]]'s game releases; in Japan, [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Pokémon Red was paired with Pokémon Green]] (leaving {{game|Blue|_(Japanese)}} as a {{DL|core series|release model|third version}}), whereas in the rest of the world, [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Pokémon Red was paired with Pokémon Blue]] (while there was no Pokémon Green). This name change is present in both the [[VIZ Media]] and [[Chuang Yi]] translations. His {{ga|Blue|game counterpart}} is also named Blue in the English translation of the games.<br />
** A panel in the original VIZ printing of {{vol|Pokémon Adventures|3}} forgets to make this change. When the Pokémon League scoreboard is shown, Red's rival is identified as "GREEN" and {{adv|Green}} is identified as "BLUE". This oversight was still present in the compilation volume [[The Best of Pokémon Adventures: Red]], but was corrected for the 2009 second edition.<br />
** Amongst the occidental languages, only the Italian version kept his Japanese name.<br />
* Although {{adv|Silver}} is the [[Pokédex holder]] whose special skill is Pokémon [[Trade|trading]], Blue tops out the roster amongst the holders with four Pokémon that have evolved via trade. They are his {{TP|Blue|Scizor}}, {{TP|Blue|Machamp}}, {{TP|Blue|Porygon2}}, and {{TP|Blue|Rhyperior}}. Additionally, his Porygon2 and {{p|Pumpkaboo}} are capable of evolving via trade.<br />
* Both the Japanese and Chinese print show that {{adv|Professor Oak}} is Blue's paternal grandfather.<br />
* Blue is the only Pokédex holder to have a named [[Daisy Oak|sibling]].<br />
* Blue is 5'9" (175 cm) tall and weighs 132 lbs (60 kg).<br />
** Blue is both the tallest and heaviest Pokédex holder.<br />
* Blue is the first Pokédex holder to receive his Pokédex.<br />

Don't want to sound confrontational but was there a reason as to why my edit got reverted on Ash's Glalie page? It took out the image of Ash's Snorunt using Headbutt and the separation was necessary. In the future, if you revert someone's edit, state on the edit summary as to why unless it's obvious (i.e.: spam). [[User:Pattyman|<span style="color:orange">Patty</span>]][[User talk:Pattyman|<span style="color:orange">Man</span>]] 01:02, 7 July 2015 (UTC)<br />
:Sorry, didn't know i was suppose to state why I reverted somebody's edit. Pokemon don't get two boxes for their moves unless they've used at least six moves. Glalie has only used four.[[User:Reinhartmax|Reinhartmax]] ([[User talk:Reinhartmax|talk]]) 01:14, 7 July 2015 (UTC)<br />
::Thank you for your input. Stating reasons in the edit summary during reversions is also for learning purposes so users could know what they could do next time. In the meantime, I'll just add back Snorunt's Headbutt image since it was accidentally removed.

== Ash's Leavanny ==<br />
<br />
Why did you undo the edit to Ash's Leavanny? Ash's Leavanny used String Shot and Energy Ball so there's no need for the pictures of him using those attacks back when he was a Sewaddle and Swadloon respectively. Plus, putting up a second picture makes the Move Used section look crowded since Leavanny only used 6 moves. --[[User:PKMNAdventurer|PKMNAdventurer]] ([[User talk:PKMNAdventurer|talk]]) 15:11, 6 August 2015 (UTC)<br />
<br />
I just copied the code from an old edit because it needed two boxes because it had at least six moves. [[User:Reinhartmax|Reinhartmax]] ([[User talk:Reinhartmax|talk]]) 20:56, 6 August 2015 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:But why does it need two boxes? --[[User:PKMNAdventurer|PKMNAdventurer]] ([[User talk:PKMNAdventurer|talk]]) 02:28, 9 August 2015 (UTC)<br />
<br />
When a Pokemon uses six moves or more it gets two boxes. Things like Ash's Frogadier or Charizard and all others that fit this and have two boxes. [[User:Reinhartmax|Reinhartmax]] ([[User talk:Reinhartmax|talk]]) 20:25, 9 August 2015 (UTC)<br />

== Manga moves. ==<br />
<br />
Hello, I see that you have been adding moves to the Pokespe manga section for some time now. However, I'd like you to know that we have a rule here. Under no circumstances are you to add moves that have not been explicitly called out by a Trainer. You see, it is very hard to determine what move is being used unless a Trainer outright states what it is. Sometimes it is hard to even know if it's a move or just a basic attack. In addition, with so many moves of each type, it is hard to determine whether or not a move is one move or a completely different one. As such, we have chosen not to assume any move unless it is called out. Please, in the future, only add moves that were called out. If it isn't called out, just ignore it completely. Thank you. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] ([[User talk:Ataro|talk]]) 01:36, 25 August 2016 (UTC)<br />
:This is your reminder to not do this. Unless Dia's Regigigas was stated to have used Avalanche, do not add it. This is your final warning. Do it again and you will be blocked. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] ([[User talk:Ataro|talk]]) 05:33, 20 October 2016 (UTC)<br />
::OK, it's been awhile, so I'm gonna be lenient here. But still. Only unless they're called out should they be added. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] ([[User talk:Ataro|talk]]) 22:59, 11 June 2019 (UTC)<br />
:::Sorry. Marisso's page said it used the move there. I'll be more careful.[[User:Reinhartmax|Reinhartmax]] ([[User talk:Reinhartmax|talk]]) 23:03, 11 June 2019 (UTC)<br />

== Squishy's Extreme Speed ==<br />
<br />
Is there any particular reason you deleted that from XY133's major events? It's considered a major event when a Pokémon on the main cast learns or is revealed to know a new move. <small>- ''unsigned comment from [[User:Missingno. Master|Missingno. Master]] ([[User talk:Missingno. Master|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Missingno._Master|contribs]])'' </small> 02:16, 5 September 2016 (UTC)<br />
:I thought it was only put in major events if a main character's Pokémon had a new move. Also none of the other pages where Squishy had a new move mentioned it on major events. [[User:Reinhartmax|Reinhartmax]] ([[User talk:Reinhartmax|talk]]) 02:22, 5 September 2016 (UTC)<br />
::Its only other moves revealed are Land's Wrath (which it used in its debut episode) and Dragon Pulse (which made its debut in the Magearna movie), which probably has something to do with it. Besides, the Pokémon in question can be a main character as opposed to just belonging to a main character. The episodes in which Meowth is revealed to know his moves make mention of this in Major Events. <small>- ''unsigned comment from [[User:Missingno. Master|Missingno. Master]] ([[User talk:Missingno.

Hi there. When adding information about Pokémon appearances in Generations, please don't forget to put the preceding headers under an "In the main series" header, [[Special:Diff/2529427|like so]]. Thanks! --[[User:Carmenstar97|<span style="color:#95EB5C">Carmen<small>★</small></span>]] <small>''[[User talk:Carmenstar97|<span style="color:#FEBEE8">(Talk |</span>]] [[Special:Contributions/Carmenstar97|<span style="color:#A6DAFC">contribs)</span>]]''</small> 19:05, 4 November 2016 (UTC)<br />

== Anime moves ==<br />
<br />
Hi! I just want to make sure our policy on adding moves from the anime is clear, given [[Special:Diff/2635995|your recent edit]] after moves were removed. Unless the move is called (or else explicitly identified after being used), please do not assume.<br />
<br />
The only moves it's tentatively acceptable to identify by animation alone are the ones listed [[User:Force Fire/List of moves with unique animations|here]]. I notice that Hyper Beam is currently on that list, but I haven't seen this episode and I don't know a great amount about the anime in general; but I think it'd be best to discuss whether Hyper Beam is appropriate for Raticate. Bite, on the other hand, is definitely not on the list.<br />
<br />
So please try to remember this when adding moves for the anime in the future. Thanks! [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 15:56, 4 May 2017 (UTC)<br />

If it would be so kind, could you not immediately begin editing the articles when the scans of PokeSPedia are being posted. I am trying to actually translate the Abilities and natures and it is incredibly frustrating seeing levels added and nothing else, especially since it forces me to open a new tab and replace your edit with what I was typing. In the end, all you're doing is making more work. Thank you. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] ([[User talk:Ataro|talk]]) 01:40, 14 August 2017 (UTC)<br />

Norman is May's father in the anime so why's it not possible for Brendan to be Birch's father. Norman was the playable character's father and Birch was the father of the character that was the rival. So why isn't it possible Brendan is Birch's son. From, Sean 23:46, 18 July 2018 (UTC)<br />
:Games=/=anime. The anime doesn't have to follow everything from the games, so it is speculation to say that Birch is Brandon's father in the anime.--[[User:Force Fire|<span style="color:#EBC600">'''F'''</span><span style="color:#EBC600">orce</span>]][[User talk:Force Fire|<span style="color:#D8B600">'''F'''</span><span style="color:#D8B600">ire</span>]] 06:54, 19 July 2018 (UTC)<br />

It doesn't matter if it's been used before in the same series, if it's not one of the moves on this site with a unique animation and it doesn't get commanded, they don't get added, because that's still speculation.

== Ilima ==<br />
No, it doesn't mean Ilima participated in a conference, just like it was discussed with SM065. League's are also the term for whole journey of collecting badges. Collecting badges is a part of participating in the League. Like how Ash use to sign up for the regional League at the start of each series, before he battled the Gyms. It was never said that he participated in a conference, so we absolutely don't know if he collected any badges at all. [[User:Playerking95|Playerking95]] ([[User talk:Playerking95|talk]]) 16:07, 15 July 2019 (UTC)<br />

== Pokemon Special (Adventures) Sapphire's Pokedex Ownter Title ==<br />
<br />
Hi<br />
<br />
I noticed that you undid my change for Sapphire's Pokédex Owner Title. Is there a reason why you did that?<br />
<br />
Sapphire's title of "Conqueror" was never correct to begin with, which was why I changed it. 極める者 does not mean "conqueror", which the page so erroneously states. It simply means "a person who does 極", and 極 is the word for an extremity. Like the end of something, north pole (northern end), etc. So it means someone who follows through on something all the way to the end. Which suits Sapphire since her whole deal was to keep at least a part of the promise made with young Ruby. Her goal wasn't to beat all the Gyms to prove that she could, but rather to keep the promise. If just beating all the Gyms warrants such a title, then that belongs more to Black or even Platinum.<br />
<br />
To conquer is to dominate, and that is just not Sapphire. And if that was the intent, her title would've been 覇める者 or something.<br />
<br />
I don't know if you undid the change because you know something, or because you just memorized the title to be something different, but let me hear your thoughts too to sort this out.<br />
<br />

== Eternatus dispute ==<br />
<br />
Hi, I saw you putting some information about Eternatus in the article about "Goh's" Eternatus. I understand your point of view, so I wanted to make a suggestion... Maybe look for a more "inclusive" name for this Pokémon, like renaming it to just Eternatus, Eternatus (Darkest Day) or something similar. So that it embraced all versions of that Pokémon, as it is with Red Gyarados or Nebby.<br />
<br />
I think the chances of Goh actually using that Pokemon in the anime are pretty slim, so much so that Eternatus doesn't even appear in Goh's Pokedex or in the new opening.I think they might not even consider this Pokémon as a Goh Pokémon. So I wouldn't be surprised if this Pokémon appears more in the possession of characters like Henry from Adventures or in other media than this version that only refers to Goh.--[[User:Hikaru Wazana|Hikaru Wazana]] ([[User talk:Hikaru Wazana|talk]]) 19:40, 17 March 2022 (UTC)<br />
:Eternatus is Goh's Pokémon, as he caught it and it was registered in his Pokédex. I personally think the Adventures version of Eternatus doesn't need an article, at least not yet. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 19:50, 17 March 2022 (UTC)<br />

== Assuming moves, yet again ==<br />
<br />
Once '''''again''''' I must reiterate. Do '''NOT''', under any circumstances, assume moves that are too vague to put a name to. I have already to you this '''far too many times''', yet you are ''still'' assuming moves. The moves the Grass-Fire-Water Pokemon used in the training montage is too vague to say that they are Leaf Storm, Flamethrower, or Water Gun. Neither of those three moves have unique animations. Same with Close Combat, a Pokemon punching and kicking a lot does ''not'' necessarily mean it is Close Combat, it could just be throwing normal punches and kicks. Fire Punch is fine as that at least ''has'' a unique animation, the four moves previously mentioned do ''not'' have unique animations. So once again, do not just assume moves, especially ones with very vague animations.--[[User:Force Fire|<span style="color:#44BAE5">'''F'''</span><span style="color:#85D2EE">orce</span>]][[User talk:Force Fire|<span style="color:#DA7D99">'''F'''</span><span style="color:#E7ABBD">ire</span>]] 07:40, 11 June 2022 (UTC)<br />

Don't want to sound confrontational but was there a reason as to why my edit got reverted on Ash's Glalie page? It took out the image of Ash's Snorunt using Headbutt and the separation was necessary.

== Manga moves. ==<br />
<br />
Hello, I see that you have been adding moves to the Pokespe manga section for some time now. However, I'd like you to know that we have a rule here. Under no circumstances are you to add moves that have not been explicitly called out by a Trainer. You see, it is very hard to determine what move is being used unless a Trainer outright states what it is. Sometimes it is hard to even know if it's a move or just a basic attack. In addition, with so many moves of each type, it is hard to determine whether or not a move is one move or a completely different one. As such, we have chosen not to assume any move unless it is called out. Please, in the future, only add moves that were called out. If it isn't called out, just ignore it completely. Thank you.

== Anime moves ==<br />
<br />
Hi! I just want to make sure our policy on adding moves from the anime is clear, given [[Special:Diff/2635995|your recent edit]] after moves were removed. Unless the move is called (or else explicitly identified after being used), please do not assume.<br />
<br />
The only moves it's tentatively acceptable to identify by animation alone are the ones listed [[User:Force Fire/List of moves with unique animations|here]]. I notice that Hyper Beam is currently on that list, but I haven't seen this episode and I don't know a great amount about the anime in general; but I think it'd be best to discuss whether Hyper Beam is appropriate for Raticate. Bite, on the other hand, is definitely not on the list.<br />
<br />
So please try to remember this when adding moves for the anime in the future. Thanks! [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 15:56, 4 May 2017 (UTC)<br />

== Pokemon Special (Adventures) Sapphire's Pokedex Ownter Title ==<br />
<br />
Hi<br />
<br />
I noticed that you undid my change for Sapphire's Pokédex Owner Title. Is there a reason why you did that?<br />
<br />
Sapphire's title of "Conqueror" was never correct to begin with, which was why I changed it. 極める者 does not mean "conqueror", which the page so erroneously states. It simply means "a person who does 極", and 極 is the word for an extremity. Like the end of something, north pole (northern end), etc. So it means someone who follows through on something all the way to the end. Which suits Sapphire since her whole deal was to keep at least a part of the promise made with young Ruby. Her goal wasn't to beat all the Gyms to prove that she could, but rather to keep the promise. If just beating all the Gyms warrants such a title, then that belongs more to Black or even Platinum.<br />
<br />
To conquer is to dominate, and that is just not Sapphire. And if that was the intent, her title would've been 覇める者 or something.<br />
<br />
I don't know if you undid the change because you know something, or because you just memorized the title to be something different, but let me hear your thoughts too to sort this out.<br />
<br />

== Eternatus dispute ==<br />
<br />
Hi, I saw you putting some information about Eternatus in the article about "Goh's" Eternatus. I understand your point of view, so I wanted to make a suggestion... Maybe look for a more "inclusive" name for this Pokémon, like renaming it to just Eternatus, Eternatus (Darkest Day) or something similar. So that it embraced all versions of that Pokémon, as it is with Red Gyarados or Nebby.<br />
<br />
I think the chances of Goh actually using that Pokemon in the anime are pretty slim, so much so that Eternatus doesn't even appear in Goh's Pokedex or in the new opening.I think they might not even consider this Pokémon as a Goh Pokémon. So I wouldn't be surprised if this Pokémon appears more in the possession of characters like Henry from Adventures or in other media than this version that only refers to Goh.--[[User:Hikaru Wazana|Hikaru Wazana]] ([[User talk:Hikaru Wazana|talk]]) 19:40, 17 March 2022 (UTC)<br />
:Eternatus is Goh's Pokémon, as he caught it and it was registered in his Pokédex. I personally think the Adventures version of Eternatus doesn't need an article, at least not yet. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 19:50, 17 March 2022 (UTC)<br />
:::I think Goh's Eternatus is just a subsection to Eternatus as a whole, like what is said above, Eternatus (Darkest Day) and I think the page should reflect that.--[[User:Reinhartmax|Reinhartmax]] ([[User talk:Reinhartmax|talk]]) 00:12, 18 March 2022 (UTC)<br />
:::::I agree. I even think that the anime's producers consider Eternatus a Goh Pokémon as much as that Cyndaquil from Arceus' episode.--[[User:Hikaru Wazana|Hikaru Wazana]] ([[User talk:Hikaru Wazana|talk]]) 00:47, 18 March 2022 (UTC)<br />

== Assuming moves, yet again ==<br />
<br />
Once '''''again''''' I must reiterate. Do '''NOT''', under any circumstances, assume moves that are too vague to put a name to. I have already to you this '''far too many times''', yet you are ''still'' assuming moves. The moves the Grass-Fire-Water Pokemon used in the training montage is too vague to say that they are Leaf Storm, Flamethrower, or Water Gun. Neither of those three moves have unique animations. Same with Close Combat, a Pokemon punching and kicking a lot does ''not'' necessarily mean it is Close Combat, it could just be throwing normal punches and kicks. Fire Punch is fine as that at least ''has'' a unique animation, the four moves previously mentioned do ''not'' have unique animations. So once again, do not just assume moves, especially ones with very vague animations.--[[User:Force Fire|<span style="color:#44BAE5">'''F'''</span><span style="color:#85D2EE">orce</span>]][[User talk:Force Fire|<span style="color:#DA7D99">'''F'''</span><span style="color:#E7ABBD">ire</span>]] 07:40, 11 June 2022 (UTC)<br />

Don't want to sound confrontational but was there a reason as to why my edit got reverted on Ash's Glalie page? It took out the image of Ash's Snorunt using Headbutt and the separation was necessary.

You see, it is very hard to determine what move is being used unless a Trainer outright states what it is. Sometimes it is hard to even know if it's a move or just a basic attack. In addition, with so many moves of each type, it is hard to determine whether or not a move is one move or a completely different one. As such, we have chosen not to assume any move unless it is called out. Please, in the future, only add moves that were called out. If it isn't called out, just ignore it completely. Thank you. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] ([[User talk:Ataro|talk]]) 01:36, 25 August 2016 (UTC)<br />
:This is your reminder to not do this. Unless Dia's Regigigas was stated to have used Avalanche, do not add it. This is your final warning. Do it again and you will be blocked. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] ([[User talk:Ataro|talk]]) 05:33, 20 October 2016 (UTC)<br />
::OK, it's been awhile, so I'm gonna be lenient here. But still. Only unless they're called out should they be added. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] ([[User talk:Ataro|talk]]) 22:59, 11 June 2019 (UTC)<br />

== Squishy's Extreme Speed ==<br />
<br />
Is there any particular reason you deleted that from XY133's major events? It's considered a major event when a Pokémon on the main cast learns or is revealed to know a new move. <small>- ''unsigned comment from [[User:Missingno. Master|Missingno. Master]] ([[User talk:Missingno. Master|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Missingno._Master|contribs]])'' </small> 02:16, 5 September 2016 (UTC)<br />
:I thought it was only put in major events if a main character's Pokémon had a new move. Also none of the other pages where Squishy had a new move mentioned it on major events. [[User:Reinhartmax|Reinhartmax]] ([[User talk:Reinhartmax|talk]]) 02:22, 5 September 2016 (UTC)<br />
::Its only other moves revealed are Land's Wrath (which it used in its debut episode) and Dragon Pulse (which made its debut in the Magearna movie), which probably has something to do with it. Besides, the Pokémon in question can be a main character as opposed to just belonging to a main character. The episodes in which Meowth is revealed to know his moves make mention of this in Major Events. <small>- ''unsigned comment from [[User:Missingno. Master|Missingno. Master]] ([[User talk:Missingno.

== Anime moves ==<br />
<br />
Hi! I just want to make sure our policy on adding moves from the anime is clear, given [[Special:Diff/2635995|your recent edit]] after moves were removed. Unless the move is called (or else explicitly identified after being used), please do not assume.<br />
<br />
The only moves it's tentatively acceptable to identify by animation alone are the ones listed [[User:Force Fire/List of moves with unique animations|here]]. I notice that Hyper Beam is currently on that list, but I haven't seen this episode and I don't know a great amount about the anime in general; but I think it'd be best to discuss whether Hyper Beam is appropriate for Raticate. Bite, on the other hand, is definitely not on the list.<br />
<br />
So please try to remember this when adding moves for the anime in the future. Thanks! [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 15:56, 4 May 2017 (UTC)<br />

No, it doesn't mean Ilima participated in a conference, just like it was discussed with SM065. League's are also the term for whole journey of collecting badges.

== Pokemon Special (Adventures) Sapphire's Pokedex Ownter Title ==<br />
<br />
Hi<br />
<br />
I noticed that you undid my change for Sapphire's Pokédex Owner Title. Is there a reason why you did that?<br />
<br />
Sapphire's title of "Conqueror" was never correct to begin with, which was why I changed it. 極める者 does not mean "conqueror", which the page so erroneously states. It simply means "a person who does 極", and 極 is the word for an extremity. Like the end of something, north pole (northern end), etc. So it means someone who follows through on something all the way to the end. Which suits Sapphire since her whole deal was to keep at least a part of the promise made with young Ruby. Her goal wasn't to beat all the Gyms to prove that she could, but rather to keep the promise. If just beating all the Gyms warrants such a title, then that belongs more to Black or even Platinum.<br />
<br />
To conquer is to dominate, and that is just not Sapphire. And if that was the intent, her title would've been 覇める者 or something.<br />
<br />
I don't know if you undid the change because you know something, or because you just memorized the title to be something different, but let me hear your thoughts too to sort this out.<br />
<br />

== Eternatus dispute ==<br />
<br />
Hi, I saw you putting some information about Eternatus in the article about "Goh's" Eternatus. I understand your point of view, so I wanted to make a suggestion... Maybe look for a more "inclusive" name for this Pokémon, like renaming it to just Eternatus, Eternatus (Darkest Day) or something similar. So that it embraced all versions of that Pokémon, as it is with Red Gyarados or Nebby.<br />
<br />
I think the chances of Goh actually using that Pokemon in the anime are pretty slim, so much so that Eternatus doesn't even appear in Goh's Pokedex or in the new opening.I think they might not even consider this Pokémon as a Goh Pokémon. So I wouldn't be surprised if this Pokémon appears more in the possession of characters like Henry from Adventures or in other media than this version that only refers to Goh.--[[User:Hikaru Wazana|Hikaru Wazana]] ([[User talk:Hikaru Wazana|talk]]) 19:40, 17 March 2022 (UTC)<br />
:Eternatus is Goh's Pokémon, as he caught it and it was registered in his Pokédex. I personally think the Adventures version of Eternatus doesn't need an article, at least not yet. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 19:50, 17 March 2022 (UTC)<br />

== Assuming moves, yet again ==<br />
<br />
Once '''''again''''' I must reiterate. Do '''NOT''', under any circumstances, assume moves that are too vague to put a name to. I have already to you this '''far too many times''', yet you are ''still'' assuming moves. The moves the Grass-Fire-Water Pokemon used in the training montage is too vague to say that they are Leaf Storm, Flamethrower, or Water Gun. Neither of those three moves have unique animations. Same with Close Combat, a Pokemon punching and kicking a lot does ''not'' necessarily mean it is Close Combat, it could just be throwing normal punches and kicks. Fire Punch is fine as that at least ''has'' a unique animation, the four moves previously mentioned do ''not'' have unique animations. So once again, do not just assume moves, especially ones with very vague animations.--[[User:Force Fire|<span style="color:#44BAE5">'''F'''</span><span style="color:#85D2EE">orce</span>]][[User talk:Force Fire|<span style="color:#DA7D99">'''F'''</span><span style="color:#E7ABBD">ire</span>]] 07:40, 11 June 2022 (UTC)<br />

Don't want to sound confrontational but was there a reason as to why my edit got reverted on Ash's Glalie page? It took out the image of Ash's Snorunt using Headbutt and the separation was necessary.

Why did you undo the edit to Ash's Leavanny?

== Manga moves. ==<br />
<br />
Hello, I see that you have been adding moves to the Pokespe manga section for some time now. However, I'd like you to know that we have a rule here. Under no circumstances are you to add moves that have not been explicitly called out by a Trainer. You see, it is very hard to determine what move is being used unless a Trainer outright states what it is. Sometimes it is hard to even know if it's a move or just a basic attack. In addition, with so many moves of each type, it is hard to determine whether or not a move is one move or a completely different one. As such, we have chosen not to assume any move unless it is called out. Please, in the future, only add moves that were called out. If it isn't called out, just ignore it completely. Thank you. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] ([[User talk:Ataro|talk]]) 01:36, 25 August 2016 (UTC)<br />
:This is your reminder to not do this. Unless Dia's Regigigas was stated to have used Avalanche, do not add it. This is your final warning. Do it again and you will be blocked. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] ([[User talk:Ataro|talk]]) 05:33, 20 October 2016 (UTC)<br />
::OK, it's been awhile, so I'm gonna be lenient here. But still. Only unless they're called out should they be added. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] ([[User talk:Ataro|talk]]) 22:59, 11 June 2019 (UTC)<br />

== Squishy's Extreme Speed ==<br />
<br />
Is there any particular reason you deleted that from XY133's major events?

Master]] ([[User talk:Missingno. Master|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Missingno._Master|contribs]])'' </small> 02:16, 5 September 2016 (UTC)<br />

::Its only other moves revealed are Land's Wrath (which it used in its debut episode) and Dragon Pulse (which made its debut in the Magearna movie), which probably has something to do with it. Besides, the Pokémon in question can be a main character as opposed to just belonging to a main character.

== Anime moves ==<br />
<br />
Hi! I just want to make sure our policy on adding moves from the anime is clear, given [[Special:Diff/2635995|your recent edit]] after moves were removed. Unless the move is called (or else explicitly identified after being used), please do not assume.<br />
<br />
The only moves it's tentatively acceptable to identify by animation alone are the ones listed [[User:Force Fire/List of moves with unique animations|here]]. I notice that Hyper Beam is currently on that list, but I haven't seen this episode and I don't know a great amount about the anime in general; but I think it'd be best to discuss whether Hyper Beam is appropriate for Raticate. Bite, on the other hand, is definitely not on the list.<br />
<br />
So please try to remember this when adding moves for the anime in the future. Thanks! [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 15:56, 4 May 2017 (UTC)<br />

== Pokemon Special (Adventures) Sapphire's Pokedex Ownter Title ==<br />
<br />
Hi<br />
<br />
I noticed that you undid my change for Sapphire's Pokédex Owner Title. Is there a reason why you did that?<br />
<br />
Sapphire's title of "Conqueror" was never correct to begin with, which was why I changed it. 極める者 does not mean "conqueror", which the page so erroneously states. It simply means "a person who does 極", and 極 is the word for an extremity. Like the end of something, north pole (northern end), etc. So it means someone who follows through on something all the way to the end. Which suits Sapphire since her whole deal was to keep at least a part of the promise made with young Ruby. Her goal wasn't to beat all the Gyms to prove that she could, but rather to keep the promise. If just beating all the Gyms warrants such a title, then that belongs more to Black or even Platinum.<br />
<br />
To conquer is to dominate, and that is just not Sapphire. And if that was the intent, her title would've been 覇める者 or something.<br />
<br />
I don't know if you undid the change because you know something, or because you just memorized the title to be something different, but let me hear your thoughts too to sort this out.<br />
<br />

== Sources ==<br />
<br />
While linking to a source is very much appreciated, it's actually very unhelpful to [http://corocoro.tv/pokesp/zukann/a_zukann/zukann_a_01.html keep linking the exact same page over and over again]. How are people supposed to know what pages you were on? [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] ([[User talk:Ataro|talk]]) 01:01, 24 January 2021 (UTC)<br />
:Sorry about that. I wrote down all the info weeks ago and didn't link the pages to myself. Didn't want to comb through it again to find the pages.--[[User:Reinhartmax|Reinhartmax]] ([[User talk:Reinhartmax|talk]]) 01:27, 24 January 2021 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== JN056 trade ==<br />
<br />
Don't just re-ad removed information, discuss it. Anyway, there was no trade in that episode. The scene played out too quickly to come to that conclusion and we didn't see if Wikstrom was even with them when Goh made the transfer.--[[User:Force Fire|<span style="color:#00A1E9">'''F'''</span><span style="color:#59C2F1">orce</span>]][[User talk:Force Fire|<span style="color:#BF004F">'''F'''</span><span style="color:#D5598C">ire</span>]] 14:21, 21 February 2021 (UTC)<br />

== Don't edit other people's user-pages ==<br />

Any reason you and Pikablu are removing images and text from the Raichu page?--[[User:Hikaru Wazana|Hikaru Wazana]] ([[User talk:Hikaru Wazana|talk]]) 20:30, 16 May 2021 (UTC)<br />
:I'm just changing the wording to what Pikablu rewrote. It's written better that way. For the extra picture, there doesn't need to be a picture of Goh and Pikachu. There are too many pictures for that.--[[User:Reinhartmax|Reinhartmax]] ([[User talk:Reinhartmax|talk]]) 20:31, 16 July 2021 (UTC)<br />
::Pikablu is just using text from a page he created for no reason, and even copied it directly from the one I had created before (it even had the same errors that I had at the beginning when I created it). The text you are placing omits important details of Raichu's participation and the text pertaining to the episode excluding her other partners in training.<br />
::The image of Pikachu with Goh, I used to keep the article more complete, if compared to other pages it doesn't have as many images. It took me a long time to get the text and fit the image without screwing up the article and it's frustrating to see it removed.--[[User:Hikaru Wazana|Hikaru Wazana]] ([[User talk:Hikaru Wazana|talk]]) 20:56, 16 May 2021 (UTC)<br />

==JN090 eggs==<br />
Regarding the Pokémon that devolved into eggs, I wouldn't call them as being hatched from eggs as they were restored to their evolved forms, not hatched.--[[User:BigDocFan|BigDocFan]] ([[User talk:BigDocFan|talk]]) 15:52, 10 December 2021 (UTC)<br />
:I saw it as confirmation that they were eggs, and therefore hatched at some point, like how Greninja was shown as an egg.--[[User:Reinhartmax|Reinhartmax]] ([[User talk:Reinhartmax|talk]]) 15:53, 10 December 2021 (UTC)<br />
::But didn't all Pokemons come from eggs? We're kind of getting into the chicken and egg discussion. I think just showing the shapes is enough. In Ash's case, they only showed Pokémon that we haven't seen in another form before. Sounds kind of redundant, don't take this the wrong way.--[[User:Hikaru Wazana|Hikaru Wazana]] ([[User talk:Hikaru Wazana|talk]]) 17:53, 10 December 2021 (UTC)<br />
:::I don't think the devolutions need to be noted at all, including the Egg's. Greninja's case was a flashback, not a time reversal like here. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 17:59, 10 December 2021 (UTC)<br />
::::You can see Ash and Goh recalling the devolved forms into their Poké Balls, including ones they did not own in those forms. Time may have been reversed but they stayed in their Trainer's ownership the entire time.--[[User:Rahl|Rahl]] ([[User talk:Rahl|talk]]) 18:03, 10 December 2021 (UTC)<br />
::::::I think only transformations should be placed. How it is done with the main character of Pokémon Horizon. This leads me to another question, will the Pokémon images in each article be edited or will it be captured in 1280x720 as the default? Because Ash's Gastly, for example, appeared on Dratini's side. Or is it better to edit the image separating each of them? I have the episode in high resolution, but I haven't moved images because of that.

== BDSP artworks as main image for Pokémon pages ==<br />
Hi, you're the only editor I've found who seems actually active these days; sorry in advance if you're not the one I should've reached.<br />

== Eternatus dispute ==<br />
<br />
Hi, I saw you putting some information about Eternatus in the article about "Goh's" Eternatus. I understand your point of view, so I wanted to make a suggestion... Maybe look for a more "inclusive" name for this Pokémon, like renaming it to just Eternatus, Eternatus (Darkest Day) or something similar. So that it embraced all versions of that Pokémon, as it is with Red Gyarados or Nebby.<br />
<br />
I think the chances of Goh actually using that Pokemon in the anime are pretty slim, so much so that Eternatus doesn't even appear in Goh's Pokedex or in the new opening.I think they might not even consider this Pokémon as a Goh Pokémon. So I wouldn't be surprised if this Pokémon appears more in the possession of characters like Henry from Adventures or in other media than this version that only refers to Goh.--[[User:Hikaru Wazana|Hikaru Wazana]] ([[User talk:Hikaru Wazana|talk]]) 19:40, 17 March 2022 (UTC)<br />
:Eternatus is Goh's Pokémon, as he caught it and it was registered in his Pokédex. I personally think the Adventures version of Eternatus doesn't need an article, at least not yet. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 19:50, 17 March 2022 (UTC)<br />
:::I think Goh's Eternatus is just a subsection to Eternatus as a whole, like what is said above, Eternatus (Darkest Day) and I think the page should reflect that.--[[User:Reinhartmax|Reinhartmax]] ([[User talk:Reinhartmax|talk]]) 00:12, 18 March 2022 (UTC)<br />
:::::I agree. I even think that the anime's producers consider Eternatus a Goh Pokémon as much as that Cyndaquil from Arceus' episode.--[[User:Hikaru Wazana|Hikaru Wazana]] ([[User talk:Hikaru Wazana|talk]]) 00:47, 18 March 2022 (UTC)<br />

== Assuming moves, yet again ==<br />
<br />
Once '''''again''''' I must reiterate. Do '''NOT''', under any circumstances, assume moves that are too vague to put a name to. I have already to you this '''far too many times''', yet you are ''still'' assuming moves. The moves the Grass-Fire-Water Pokemon used in the training montage is too vague to say that they are Leaf Storm, Flamethrower, or Water Gun. Neither of those three moves have unique animations. Same with Close Combat, a Pokemon punching and kicking a lot does ''not'' necessarily mean it is Close Combat, it could just be throwing normal punches and kicks. Fire Punch is fine as that at least ''has'' a unique animation, the four moves previously mentioned do ''not'' have unique animations. So once again, do not just assume moves, especially ones with very vague animations.--[[User:Force Fire|<span style="color:#44BAE5">'''F'''</span><span style="color:#85D2EE">orce</span>]][[User talk:Force Fire|<span style="color:#DA7D99">'''F'''</span><span style="color:#E7ABBD">ire</span>]] 07:40, 11 June 2022 (UTC)<br />

'''Moon''' (Japanese: '''ムーン''' ''Moon'') is a [[Pokédex holder|main character]] in the manga series [[Pokémon Adventures]].<br />
<br />
==Character==<br />
[[File:Sun Moon Adventures.png|thumb|left|270px|Moon's love of Poison-types]]<br />
Moon is a girl from the [[Sinnoh]] region. She does not enjoy [[Alola]]'s tropical air, stating that it doesn't suit her character. She isn't one to be fooled by others, easily seeing through {{adv|Sun}}'s deception and seeing through the lies of the {{tc|Team Skull Grunt}}s. Moon is a pharmacist and is proficient with making various types of medicine. Due to this occupation, Moon is very knowledgeable about various poisons, as certain kinds can be used to make medicine. In addition to the possible benefits of poison, Moon favors {{type|Poison}} Pokémon and finds them to be cute. Moon is also a skilled archer, which helps her get medicinal supplies by firing at the desired item with her bow and arrow.<br />
<br />
Due to coming from a family of scholars, Moon prefers to use her intelligence to devise strategies in battle. As such, concepts she considers "unscientific", such as luck, tend to annoy her if they end up defeating her strategies. For her skills, she is given the title of '''"Mixer"''' ({{tt|調合る者|つくるもの}} ''Mixer'').<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
{{spoilers}}<br />
<br />
===Past===<br />
Moon was born to a family of scholars in the Sinnoh region. Ever since she was a small child, she studied various poisons and Poison-type Pokémon. At the age of six, she earned a doctorate for her studies, earning her the nickname (Japanese: '''ミス・ポイズン''' ''Miss Poison''). After causing various poison-related accidents, she chose to research ways to counter poisons, eventually becoming a pharmacist at age ten. Moon worked alongside [[Mr. Berlitz]]. Due to a mistake on her part, a {{p|Piplup}} became poisoned and could only be cured with materials that only exist in the [[Alola]] region. Although Mr. Berlitz was reluctant at first, he agreed to allow Moon to leave after [[Roseanne]] arrived with a {{TP|Moon|Rotom}} requested to be delivered to [[Professor Kukui]].<br />
<br />
==={{MangaArc|Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon}}===<br />
[[File:Moon assistant Adventures.png|thumb|left|220px|Moon working as an assistant in Sinnoh]]<br />
Moon debuted in ''[[PASM01|The Grand Entrance and Delivery Boy Sun]]'', where she encountered a boy named {{adv|Sun}} doing part-time work removing wild {{p|Pyukumuku}} from the [[Hau'oli City]] Beachfront. When the {{tc|Team Skull Grunt}}s that hired Sun came to check up on his work, they tried getting out of paying him by planting an extra Pyukumuku on the beach. When Moon pointed this out, the male Grunt had his {{p|Salandit}} attack her and then feign injury to force Sun to pay for its medical bills. Angered, Sun used his {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Meowth}}, [[Cent]], to defeat the Grunts and forced them to flee. Afterward, Sun apologized to Moon for causing her trouble and offered to help with her delivery to Professor Kukui.<br />
<br />
In ''[[PASM02|The Delivery of Rotom and the Girl]]'', Moon and Sun were attacked by the [[Guardian deities|guardian deity]] of [[Melemele Island]], {{p|Tapu Koko}}. After a quick battle, Tapu Koko ran away and left behind a [[Sparkling Stone]], which Sun picked up. Later, Moon and Sun arrived at Professor Kukui's house on {{rt|1|Alola}}, where they found the man testing the moves of his {{p|Rowlet}} and {{p|Popplio}}. After a quick introduction, Moon delivered Rotom to Kukui, who wanted one due to it being capable of combining with Sun's [[Pokédex]]. When Rotom tried entering the Pokédex, it ran away in disgust because Sun's constant mishandling of the device left it dirty and smelling bad. After Sun retrieved Rotom, he told Moon about the festival being held in [[Iki Town]] the next day and suggested she go to it before going back home.<br />
<br />
In ''[[PASM04|The Decision and the Tournament of Six]]'', Moon met [[Olivia]], one of the [[island kahuna]]s, and helped her pick the roster of a tournament being held at the Iki Town Festival. During the placement, Moon encountered [[Lillie]]. When a Pokémon Lillie called {{DL|Nebby|In the manga|Nebby}} escaped from her bag and ran off to [[Mahalo Trail]], she and Moon chased after it. They found Nebby under attack by a group of wild {{p|Spearow}}, but as Lillie was too scared to move, Moon had to step in and save it. When Moon got to Nebby, it used its powers to break the bridge they were standing on, causing both to fall into the water before Tapu Koko caught them and brought them to safety. After learning that Lillie was entered in the tournament by accident, Moon decided to take her place instead.<br />
<br />
In ''[[PASM06|The Party Crasher and Guzma the Destroyer]]'', Moon faced [[Gladion]] in the second battle of the second round of the tournament. Moon tried to ask Gladion about a mysterious [[Ultra Wormhole]] that she saw at Mahalo Trail, but Gladion only agreed to answer if she beat him. During their battle, Moon proved to be an effective strategist and nearly defeated Gladion's {{p|Porygon}}, but it eventually managed to win through luck. The shock of losing to something she considered unscientific as luck shocked Moon to the point where she completely ignored the final battle of the tournament.<br />
<br />
In ''[[PASM08|Going Ashore and Neighboring Akala Island]]'', Moon and Sun traveled with Kukui to [[Akala Island]]. After rescuing Kukui's Rowlet from the pair of Skull Grunts, he allowed Moon to keep it after seeing how attached they were. Sun was given the task of delivering special [[Mirage Berry|Mirage Berries]] to each of Alola's guardian deities. Afterward, Moon revealed that Rotom decided to stay with her after fusing with a spare Pokédex she received from Kukui to become the [[Rotom Pokédex]]. Later, Moon and Sun arrived at [[Heahea City]], where they met [[Kiawe]], [[Mallow]], and [[Lana]], the [[Trial Captain]]s of Akala Island. Kiawe tested Sun to see if he was worthy in taking part of the [[Island challenge]] and eventually accepted him after they had a short battle. Lana, still unsure, told the group to follow her to [[Brooklet Hill]].<br />
<br />
[[File:Moon Adventures.png|thumb|left|120px|Moon's first outfit]]<br />
In ''[[PASM09|True Identity and the Totem Pokémon of Brooklet Hill]]'', Moon and Mallow went to [[Lush Jungle]] to search for the Mirage Berry. Shortly after arriving, they found {{p|Tapu Lele}} battling a {{p|Xurkitree}} emerging from another wormhole. Moon sent Rotom to get information about the mysterious creature, but it ended up shutting down after Xurkitree blasted it with an electrical shock. Moon tried firing a Poké Ball-tipped arrow, but it failed to catch Xurkitree, who managed to escape. Tapu Lele left in anger while Moon collected its fallen scales. When Moon pointed out they didn't know Xurkitree's actual name, Mallow suggested giving it the code name "Lighting".<br />
<br />
In ''[[PASM11|Homecoming and the Brilliant Professional Golfer]]'', Mallow had her and Moon's Pokémon communicate with the wild Pokémon in the area to help them find the Mirage Berry. After successfully finding what they came for, Mallow received a call from Kiawe, who had been attacked by someone. After informing Sun and Lana, the four regrouped at [[Konikoni City]] before heading to [[Memorial Hill]], where they found an injured Kiawe lying on the ground. A group of Skull Grunts appeared, claiming they were the ones who defeated Kiawe. Mallow and Lana stayed behind to battle the Grunts while Moon, Sun, and Kiawe went to the [[Ruins of Life]] to check up on Tapu Lele. Shortly after arriving, Kiawe told Sun about [[Z-Move]]s and helped him practice the pose for {{m|Inferno Overdrive}}, which he planned to have Sun use against Gladion, the person who defeated him. As Sun did not possess a [[Z-Ring]], Kiawe allowed Sun to borrow his own, but they were interrupted by Gladion, who had joined [[Team Skull]] as an Enforcer. Gladion managed to capture Tapu Lele, was still recovering from a battle it had with Xurkitree. Kiawe tried giving his Z-Ring to Sun, but it was destroyed by Gladion's {{TP|Gladion|Type: Null}}. When Gladion claimed Sun wouldn't have won even with the Z-Move, a voice appeared, pointing out that if he truly believed that, then he wouldn't have destroyed the Z-Ring. The voice is revealed to be [[Kahili]], who uses her Pokémon to distract Type: Null before delivering Sun his finished Z-Ring. <br />
<br />
In ''[[PASM13|Unleashing the Incredible Z-Move]]'', Sun and {{adv|Dollar}} successfully executed Inferno Overdrive, which managed to crack Type: Null's mask. Gladion gave up on Tapu Lele, deciding it was too weak to fight the mysterious creatures appearing in Alola. As he left, Gladion revealed the Ultra Wormholes are the result of something trying to break free into their world. Afterward, Tapu Lele woke up and Sun delivered the Mirage Berry to it. As thanks for healing it, Tapu Lele challenged Moon, Sun, Kiawe, and Kahili to a battle to test their strength. Despite the combined effort of their Pokémon, Tapu Lele easily blocked their attacks. Sun, refusing to give up, managed to land a hit on Tapu Lele after Dollar [[Evolution|evolved]] into a {{p|Torracat}}. The attack didn't harm Tapu Lele, but it acknowledged their determination and flew off. Afterward, Moon tried to consult Rotom about what Gladion said when he left, but the only answer it could give was "{{adv|Necrozma}}."<br />
<br />
In ''[[PASM14|Flash and Cosmog's Secret]]'', Moon faced {{p|Lurantis}}, the [[Totem Pokémon]] of Lush Jungle, and defeated it. Afterward, she and the others grouped together at Mallow's restaurant in Konikoni City to speak to Kukui's wife, [[Professor Burnet]], over a video phone. They speculated the Ultra Wormholes appearing in Alola may have been the result of Nebby's power. Kukui told Burnet to take Lillie and meet with him, Moon, and Sun at [[Ula'ula Island]], where Sun has to go to deliver the next Mirage Berry. Later that night, Burnet and Lillie traveled to Kukui's yacht via [[Mantine Surf]], but a wild {{p|Bruxish}} appeared and used its powers to give everyone headaches and cause them to pass out. Sun and Lillie ended up separated from the others while Moon, Kukui, and Burnet were rescued by the [[Aether Foundation]] and taken to their base of operations, [[Aether Paradise]]. There, they met [[Faba]] and [[Wicke]], who explained what happened to everyone and gave them a tour of the location.<br />
<br />
After finishing their stay, in ''[[PASM18|Confusion and Monsters from Another World]]'', Moon, Kukui, and Burnet traveled to Ula'ula. Moon traveled to [[Po Town]], where she found the place under siege by a group of mysterious creatures, now known as [[Ultra Beast]]s. Gladion revealed the Aether Foundation's president, [[Lusamine]], gave a second Cosmog to Guzma to fuel her desire to create a paradise filled with nothing but Ultra Beasts and herself. Guzma denied the accusation that he was being used, only for a {{p|Nihilego}} to grab him and drag him towards an Ultra Wormhole. Moon attempted to rescue Guzma, but was stopped by Xurkitree. Sun managed to free Moon with his team, but ended up swatted away by Xurkitree, causing him to crash-land onto a car. The other beasts broke out of Po Town's barrier, allowing them to wreak havoc on the rest of Ula'ula. The Captains headed off to evacuate any innocents caught in the beasts' attacks while Moon stayed behind to heal Sun's injuries. When Moon pointed out that Sun reacted strangely when Gladion mentioned the Aether Foundation, Sun revealed the reason he had been collecting money was to buy back the island the Aether Foundation stole from his [[Sun's great-grandfather|great-grandfather]]. Before he could explain any further, Moon and Sun were approached by [[Anabel]] and {{adv|Looker}} of the [[International Police]].<br />
<br />
[[File:Moon bow Adventures.png|thumb|rightt|200px|Moon using her bow]]<br />
In ''[[PASM20|An Urgent Task and the Capture of an Ultra Beast]]'', Anabel questioned the children about what they knew of the Ultra Beasts, but Sun was wary of the International Police, as he found their desire to protect and take in Pokémon used in crimes too similar to the goals of the Aether Foundation. After receiving a bribe from Anabel, Sun allowed Moon to give the officer information about the beasts that appeared in Alola. After having Looker sent off to investigate, Anabel told Sun and Moon about the beasts' species names as well as their codenames. The group was then attacked by {{p|Blacephalon}}, another beast that emerged from a wormhole. Sun and Anabel managed to stun Blacephalon long enough for Anabel to attempt a capture. The {{i|Poké Ball}} did not work on Blacephalon, revealing they only work properly on regular Pokémon. Blacephalon retaliated by using {{m|Mind Blown}} on the group, but was blown away by Tapu Bulu's {{m|Whirlwind}}. After Kukui and Burnet arrived with the Mirage Berry, Sun was reluctant to give it up, as he believed the guardian deities had no reason to help humans, because they were the ones responsible for causing the danger in Alola to begin with. Moon disagreed with this statement and argued that if humans were the cause for the danger, then they should take responsibility by helping fix it as well. Moon and Sun then gave the Mirage Berry to Tapu Bulu, who readily accepted it.<br />
<br />
In ''[[PASM21|Thieving and Boss Crabominable]]'', Moon, Sun, and Anabel traveled to [[Poni Island]]. While Sun went off to find information on where to find {{p|Tapu Fini}}, Moon and Anabel arrived at [[Seafolk Village]], which had been evacuated due to the Ultra Beasts' attacks. Worried that some injured people may still be there, Anabel requested that Moon help heal any hurt civilians. As they walked through [[Poni Wilds]], Moon asked Anabel how she knew the names of the Ultra Beasts. Anabel then revealed that she knew because she is a Faller, a human who had passed through an Ultra Wormhole.<br />
<br />
In ''[[PASM23|Battle in Vast Poni Canyon]]'', Moon and Anabel traveled to [[Vast Poni Canyon]], where they witnessed Faba battling [[Plumeria]]. Worried that his plans could be jeopardized, Faba had his {{tc|Aether Foundation Employee}}s battle Moon and Anabel, hoping the distraction would give him the chance to escape. Faba fled to the [[Poni Altar]] while Moon, Anabel, and Plumeria followed him. Later, Tapu Koko appeared and placed Moon on the Altar with Sun, where they played the [[Sun Flute|Sun]] and [[Moon Flute]]s together, causing the Altar to react. <br />
<br />
In ''[[PASM25|Summon the Emissaries of the Moon and the Sun]]'', the Poni Altar released a bright light that allowed Nebby and another {{p|Cosmoem}} to evolve into {{p|Lunala}} and {{adv|Solgaleo}}, respectively. After explaining what the two [[Legendary Pokémon]] were, Anabel received a call from Looker, who reported that a large number of Ultra Beasts emerged from Po Town and have made their way to Poni Island. While the others fought the beasts, Sun confronted Faba, demanding that the Aether Foundation return his great-grandfather's island. Faba revealed to Sun that the island had already been converted into Aether Paradise, and money he suggested Sun gather wouldn't nearly be enough to return the island back to its previous state. A giant Ultra Wormhole with a {{p|Necrozma}}'s hand emerging from it opened in front of everyone. The hand possessed Solgaleo's body, forcing it to grab Sun and jump into the wormhole with it while Moon and Lunala followed after.<br />
<br />
At some point, Sun and Moon ended up separated from Lunala and ended up trapped in the [[Ultra Deep Sea]] for six months. In ''[[PASM26|Adventure in the Dark Dimension]]'', Lunala reappeared, only for Moon and Sun to find it being [[Ultra Warp Ride|ridden]] by [[Dulse]] and [[Zossie]] of the [[Ultra Recon Squad]]. After overhearing that Dulse had met with the Aether Foundation to create Poké Balls capable of capturing the Ultra Beasts, Sun confronted the strangers, demanding to know what their connection with the Aether Foundation was. After Dulse and Zossie explained themselves, Moon asked the two if they could take her and Sun back to Alola. Though Dulse refused, Lunala returned to Moon and Sun, leaving him no choice but to stay behind while Moon, Sun, and Zossie rode on Lunala's back to Alola. As they traversed through [[Ultra Space]], Zossie taught Sun how to use Ultra Warp Ride and told him and Moon about the various worlds the Ultra Beasts come from. After passing through an Ultra Wormhole, the three arrived at the Ultra Recon Squad's home world, the [[Ultra Megalopolis]].<br />
<br />
In ''[[PASM28|Arrival at the Scientific Megalopolis]]'', the Ultra Beast {{p|Stakataka}} appeared in hopes of fighting the weakened Necrozma. Zossie took Moon and Sun to the [[Megalo Tower]], where they met [[Soliera]], another Ultra Recon Squad member. Soliera lured Stakataka to the tower as she wanted to test the bonds between people and Pokémon in order to find a way to return light to the Ultra Megalopolis. By disguising itself as a building, Stakataka hid itself from view, allowing it to easily capture Sun. Moon and Lunala fought to rescue Sun, but were unable to use their full strength without risking Sun's safety. After noticing Stakataka's many eyes, Sun had Moon shoot the Zygarde Cube with an arrow, releasing {{adv|Zygarde}} Cells everywhere. The Cells stuck to Stakataka, blinding it and preventing it from dodging Lunala's next attack. The battle alerted Necrozma, who released Solgaleo and leapt from the Megalo Tower to try and absorb Lunala as well. Lunala tried fighting back, but was overpowered. Moon and Sun sent out their Pokémon to help, but were stopped by Lusamine. Angered by her presence, Sun claimed that Lusamine was responsible for taking away his great-grandfather's island. Offended, Lusamine sent out a Nihilego and commanded it to become one with her.<br />
<br />
In ''[[PASM30|Madness!! Mother Lusamine!]]'', Necrozma fully absorbed Lunala to become its Dawn Wings form, it battled Lusamine and her team, who aimed to capture it. With one of the [[Beast Ball]]s that Lusamine dropped, Sun captured Stakataka and used it to battle Lusamine, who retaliated by sending out the rest of her Ultra Beasts to attack. At Soliera's suggestion, Moon attempted to stop Lusamine by capturing Nihilego with a Beast Ball, but the risk of Lusamine suffering negative side effects from a forced separation prevented her from firing the arrow. When Necrozma fled to the Megalo Tower, Lusamine and her Ultra Beasts chased it while Moon, Sun, and the Ultra Recon Squad members followed them. At the top, Moon attempted to capture Nihilego again, but was blinded by a bright light emanating from a wormhole Necrozma created. The wormhole sucked everyone into it and dropped them off in the skies above [[Mount Lanakila]]. After landing safely in a field of snow, an unconscious Moon was found by [[Ryuki]] and carried off to somewhere else. Later, she found herself trapped in a cage at Aether Paradise by Faba and Plumeria, who had dressed herself in Moon's previous outfit.<br />
<br />
Faba revealed that he had researched Moon's past in order to learn more about her. He also showed that Sun reunited with Lillie and they managed to safely separate Lusamine from Nihilego, but were forced to protect her while they battled Necrozma. After being freed by Gladion, they attempted to confront Faba, but were forced to battle [[Ryuki]] after he was tricked into attacking them. As her own Pokémon were hidden away by Faba, Gladion allowed Moon to use his Silvally while he stayed behind to face Ryuki. Moon fled to Secret Lab B and reunited with her Pokémon, only to be interrupted by a group of Aether Foundation Employees. Moon had her team fight off the Employees while she made medicine for Gladion and his Pokémon, leading to {{p|Dartrix}} evolving into {{p|Decidueye}}. Once the medicine was complete, Moon prepared to leave and meet with Gladion again, only to be approached by Lunala.<br />
<br />
Moon and Lunala traveled back to Mount Lanakila, where they regrouped with Anabel and Looker. Anabel revealed she was in possession of a Beast Ball and she intended to use it on Necrozma once Sun managed to weaken it enough. By combining Lunala, Solgaleo, and Zygarde's attacks, Moon and Sun managed to down Necrozma, but it mustered enough strength to destroy Anabel's Beast Ball. Sun revealed he picked up the Beast Ball Moon tried using on Lusamine earlier. The last Beast Ball was given to Zossie, who captured Necrozma in the hopes that the Ultra Recon Squad could potentially heal its injured state.<br />
<br />
Several months later, Moon had returned to Sinnoh, but eventually decided to move to Alola permanently. On a video phone, she spoke to Kukui, who told Moon about the changes to the people of Alola that had happened while she was away. After hanging up, Moon was called by her sister, who told her that they needed to start preparing for the move.<br />
<br />
==={{MangaArc|Sword & Shield}}===<br />
In ''[[PASS30|Oh My!! The Disappearance of Henry]]'', [[Oleana]] mentioned Moon to {{Casey}} and [[Marvin]] when discussing {{p|Eternatus}}'s poison, believing she might know something about how to negate its effects. She was later called in ''[[PASS31|Flutter!! Tickets to a New Land]]'' by [[Klara]] and explained how to make an antidote to cure {{Henry}}.<br />

'''Sapphire Birch''' (Japanese: '''オダマキ・サファイア''' ''Sapphire Odamaki'') is a [[Pokédex holder|main character]] in the {{pkmn|manga}} series [[Pokémon Adventures]].<br />
<br />
==Character==<br />
Sapphire is a Pokémon Trainer and the daughter of [[Professor Birch]]. She often assists her father with his fieldwork and years of doing so have given her various skills such as heightened physical strength and senses. Due to constantly being surrounded by nature, she has come to dislike the idea of beautifying Pokémon instead of leaving them in their natural state. After some character development, she has learned to appreciate the idea of beauty.<br />
<br />
For her skills, she is given the title of '''"[[Gym|Conqueror]]"''' ({{tt|究める者|きわめるもの}} ''Conqueror'').<br />

==History==<br />
{{Spoilers}}<br />
===Prior to {{MangaArc|Ruby & Sapphire}}===<br />
As a young child, Sapphire had a childhood friend named {{adv|Ruby}} that she played with. One day, Ruby fought a {{TP|Zinnia|Salamence}} that attacked them and won, but was injured in the process. Terrified from the experience, Sapphire broke down crying. Believing that Ruby got injured because of her own weakness, Sapphire vowed to become stronger.<br />

[[File:Sapphire RS Adventures.png|thumb|220px|Sapphire's original outfit]]<br />
Sapphire debuted in ''[[PS182|Making Mirth with Mightyena]]''. She rescued {{adv|Ruby}} from a pair of {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Mightyena}} at {{rt|101|Hoenn}} and took him to her [[Secret Base]] to recover. When Sapphire tried talking to Ruby later, he mistook Sapphire for talking Pokémon due to her leaf cloak. Ruby's {{p|Poochyena}}, [[Nana]], bit Sapphire, angering her into removing the cloak and attacking him with her {{p|Torchic}}, [[Chic]]. Overhearing the incident on his [[Pokégear]], Professor Birch revealed to Ruby that Sapphire is actually his daughter. Though the misunderstanding was cleared, Sapphire and Ruby were attacked by a wild {{p|Seviper}}. Ruby refused to fight as to not risk dirtying his Pokémon, forcing Sapphire to defeat the Tail Snake Pokémon by herself. Afterward, the two began arguing over their interests, which ended with Sapphire deciding to make a bet to see who could conquer their respective goal within an 80-day time limit. After Ruby agreed, Sapphire fainted from the injuries she received from protecting Ruby from the Mightyena earlier. Ruby healed Sapphire's wounds and modified a spare set of his clothes for Sapphire to wear.<br />
<br />
In ''[[PS184|Distracting Dustox]]'', Sapphire went back to [[Littleroot Town]] and returned the items and {{p|Treecko}} Ruby had accidentally taken from Professor Birch earlier with the exception of his [[Pokédex]]. Later that day, Sapphire changed into the clothes Ruby made for her and set out with Chic and [[Rono]] to begin her journey to conquer all of Hoenn's Gyms.<br />
<br />
In ''[[PS188|Lombre Larceny]]'', Sapphire rescued [[Mr. Stone]]'s [[Fofo|Castform]] from being trapped in a fountain at {{rt|104|Hoenn}}. A trio of Pokémon emerged from the fountain and stole an item from Mr. Stone before running off. With an injured Mr. Stone on her back, Sapphire, [[Gabby and Ty|Gabby, and Ty]] chased the Pokémon to the [[Petalburg Woods]], where they found that they were under the ownership of [[Shelly]], [[Matt]], and {{adv|Amber}}. Sapphire was unable to defeat the [[Team Aqua]] members, but with Castform's help, she and the others managed to escape. Afterward, Sapphire apologized for her failure and received a [[Letter]] from Mr. Stone addressed to his son, {{Steven}}.<br />
<br />
[[File:Sapphire first outfit.png|thumb|right|170px|Sapphire wearing leaf clothing]]<br />
In ''[[PS190|Blowing Past Nosepass I]]'', Sapphire arrived at the [[Rustboro Gym]], where she challenged the [[Gym Leader]], [[Roxanne]]. By exploiting [[Roxanne's Nosepass]]'s inability to face in directions other than north, Sapphire managed to defeat the Compass Pokémon and earn the {{Badge|Stone}}. Afterward, in ''[[PS192|Stick This in Your Craw, Crawdaunt I]]'', Sapphire summoned her father's {{p|Wailord}}, Lorry, from the ocean and had it take her to [[Dewford Town]].<br />
<br />
In ''[[PS193|Stick This in Your Craw, Crawdaunt! II]]'', Sapphire arrived at Dewford Town, where she met [[Brawly]], the Gym Leader and a surfer. Brawly told Sapphire he was going on a trip and she only had until the next day to challenge him before the Gym would be closed for several days. Afterward, Sapphire went to look for a place to train and encountered Ruby. In ''[[PS194|Guile from Mawile]]'', Sapphire and Ruby entered [[Granite Cave]], but went their separate ways. Sapphire used the location as a place to train Chic and Rono, who both ended up evolving into a {{p|Combusken}} and {{p|Lairon}}, respectively.<br />
<br />
In ''[[PS195|Mashing Makuhita]]'', Sapphire challenged the [[Dewford Gym]], where she struggled due to Brawly's mastery of the subtlety fighting style. Despite this, Sapphire managed to win by having Chic counter Brawly's newly evolved {{TP|Brawly|Hariyama}} with a powerful {{m|Double Kick}} earning her the {{Badge|Knuckle}}. Afterward, a loud noise erupted from Granite Cave, and Sapphire went there to see if Ruby was safe. Ruby was unharmed and revealed he met Steven, who saved him from a group of wild Pokémon before leaving. Wanting to catch up with Steven, Sapphire grabbed Ruby and had Lorry swim in the direction Steven headed towards.<br />
<br />
In ''[[PS198|Adding It Up with Plusle & Minun I]]'', Sapphire forced Ruby to stay the night on the [[Abandoned Ship]]. The ship was invaded by [[Courtney]] and [[Tabitha]], members of [[Team Magma]] that were after a [[Scanner]] located in the area. With the help of a wild {{TP|Sapphire|Minun}} and {{TP|Ruby|Plusle}}, Sapphire and Ruby managed to escape, but ended up losing the Scanner to the villains. Afterward, they said their goodbyes to Minun and Plusle.<br />
<br />
After parting ways with Ruby, Sapphire arrived at [[Mauville City]] in ''[[PS203|I'm Your Biggest Fan, Donphan]]''. There, she helped the Gym Leader, [[Wattson]], and his friend, the [[Trick Master]] deal with a wild rampaging {{p|Donphan}}. After the clash caused all four to end up falling into the secret underground city, [[New Mauville]], Sapphire teamed up with the Trick Master and Donphan to defeat an out-of-control electrical generator robot and turn New Mauville into an amusement park for children to play in. Afterward, Sapphire obtained the {{Badge|Dynamo}} and set off with Donphan, who joined her team and was named Phado.<br />
<br />
In ''[[PS212|Bubble Bubble Toil and Azumarill I]]'' , Sapphire arrived at the base of [[Mt. Chimney]], where she fought against [[Matt]] in the Cable Car to rescue [[Flannery]], the Gym Leader of [[Lavaridge Town]]. After Matt was defeated, Sapphire summoned her father's {{p|Tropius}}, [[Troppy]], to take her and Flannery to the top of Mt. Chimney so they could confront Matt's allies. After they arrived, Sapphire and Flannery learned that Team Aqua's goal was to trick [[Professor Cozmo]] in helping them halt Mt. Chimney's volcanic activity. Despite her best efforts, Sapphire's attempt to stop Team Aqua was blocked by {{adv|Amber}} until it was too late. With their plan successful, Team Aqua escaped and took Professor Cozmo with them.<br />
<br />
After failing to pursue Team Aqua, Sapphire returned to Flannery and found that she managed to revive Mt. Chimney, but only temporarily. Using what little time Mt. Chimney had remaining, Sapphire and Flannery took a dip in a hot spring, where they had their Gym battle. Afterward, Flannery revealed she planned on meeting with the other Gym Leaders to discuss what to do with Team Aqua. After receiving the {{Badge|Heat}}, Sapphire set off to [[Fortree City]] for her next Gym battle.<br />
<br />
In ''[[PS226|I Dare Ya, Altaria... Knock Chic off My Shoulder!]]'', Sapphire arrived at Fortree City, where she met the Gym Leader, [[Winona]] and challenged her to a battle. Despite Chic evolving into a {{p|Blaziken}}, Sapphire lost, but agreed to become Winona's student and train with her. Winona then asked Sapphire to help her and the other Gym Leaders deal with the upcoming awakening of the {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Kyogre}}. When [[Wallace]] arrived to meet with his fellow Gym Leaders, Sapphire was shocked to find Ruby there with him.<br />
<br />
In ''[[PS227|I'm Always Grumpig First Thing in the Morning I]]'', after being left alone together, Sapphire and Ruby tried apologizing for their previous arguments, only for an earthquake to startle a group of wild {{p|Spoink}} and {{p|Grumpig}} into stampeding. Ruby instinctively defeated the Grumpig, accidentally revealing to Sapphire that he wasn't a weak Trainer like she had assumed. Though mad at Ruby for lying to her, Sapphire noted that with Ruby's strength, he could help the Gym Leaders with the upcoming crisis in Hoenn. When Ruby stated he had no interest in helping, Sapphire angrily removed the clothes he made for her, changed into a new leaf outfit, and told Ruby that she never wanted to see him again.<br />
[[File:Sapphire second outfit Adventures.png|thumb|left|170px|Sapphire's second outfit]]<br />
In ''[[PS231|Master Class with Masquerain]]'', Sapphire challenged Winona to another training session and won, earning the {{Badge|Feather}} in the process. In ''[[PS235|The Beginning of the End with Kyogre & Groudon III]]'', massive {{a|Drought|heat wave}} struck Fortree City, evaporating the water and burning the plants to ash in an instant. Realizing that both {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Groudon}} and Kyogre have awakened, Sapphire and the Gym Leaders split into three groups of two to try and stop the disasters while rescuing any civilians caught up in the incident. Sapphire and Winona went to {{rt|123|Hoenn}}, where Sapphire encountered a {{p|Relicanth}} that had been forcibly pushed to dry land due to how rough the waves were. After it saved them from an incoming tsunami, Sapphire decided to keep Relicanth until it was healed, naming it Relly in the process. Afterward, Sapphire and Winona met [[Tate and Liza]]'s grandparents, the former guardians of [[Mt. Pyre]]. The elderly couple revealed that fighting Groudon and Kyogre is useless and the best way to stop the conflict is to go to the [[Seafloor Cavern]] and stop the one controlling them with the [[Red Orb|Red]] and [[Blue Orb]]s. Due to the Seafloor Cavern being located deep underwater, Sapphire and the others had no way of reaching that location.<br />
<br />
In ''[[PS238|The Beginning of the End with Kyogre & Groudon VI]]'', Sapphire and Winona were approached by Ruby and Wallace, the former stating he had a change of heart and has decided to help stop the crisis. Ruby revealed that Relly had the ability to take two children down to the Seafloor Cavern. After being a handed a new set of clothes, Sapphire and Ruby used Relly's power to {{m|Dive}} into the water.<br />
<br />
In ''[[PS243|No Armaldo Is an Island]]'', Sapphire and Ruby arrived at the Seafloor Cavern, where they battled a group of {{tc|Team Aqua Grunt|Team Magma}} and {{tc|Team Magma Grunt|Aqua Grunts}} and won. In ''[[PS248|The Beginning of the End with Kyogre & Groudon X]]'', they encountered [[Archie]] and [[Maxie]], the respective leaders of Team Aqua and Team Magma. After managing to subdue the leaders, Ruby tried taking the Blue and Red Orbs from them, only to find that they've been absorbed into their hands. The leaders are possessed by the orbs, putting them under Kyogre and Groudon's control. With their new power, Archie and Maxie create a vortex of energy that lifts them, Sapphire, Ruby, and the Grunts out of the Seafloor Cavern and to the surface. They then fly towards [[Sootopolis City]], where Kyogre and Groudon planned to restart their ancient battle.<br />
<br />
In ''[[PS252|The Beginning of the End with Kyogre & Groudon XIV]]'', Sapphire and Ruby were taken to Sootopolis City, where they were forced to watch Kyogre and Groudon's clash with no way of stopping it. When Winona and Wallace came to help, Sapphire and Ruby suggested running away. After being reminded of a childhood friend they wanted to see again, Sapphire and Ruby regained their resolve. Sapphire and Ruby had Chic and [[Mumu]] fire their attacks on the Grant Meteor fragment, creating a blast of energy that hit Archie and Maxie where the Blue and Red Orbs were located. Though successful in removing the Orbs, the attack created a giant explosion that engulfed the entirety of Sootopolis.<br />
<br />
In ''[[PS253|A Royal Rumble with Regirock, Regice & Registeel I]]'', Sapphire encountered Steven and gave the Letter to him. With it along with Lorry and Relly, Sapphire and Steven managed to awaken the sleeping Legendary Pokémon, {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Regice}}, and {{p|Registeel}}. A second explosion separated the two, and Sapphire later awakened with Ruby in a different location, where they met [[Juan]], [[Tate and Liza|Tate, and Liza]]. Juan had taken the two to {{gdis|Mirage Island|III}} with the intent of training them for a rematch with Kyogre and Groudon. Due to Mirage Island's special properties, the time Sapphire and Ruby spent training would differ than from the outside world, making a single day be a week elsewhere and vice versa. During their stay, Rono evolved into an {{p|Aggron}}, and the two reunited with Minun and Plusle, who were forced to relocate after Kyogre destroyed the Abandoned Ship. Later, Juan revealed the true purpose of the training was to help Sapphire and Ruby master the Blue and Red Orbs that entered their bodies after being forced out of Archie and Maxie. Once their training had finished, Sapphire and Ruby prepared to head back to Sootopolis. As acknowledgement of her strength, Juan presented Sapphire with the {{badge|Rain}} while Tate and Liza gave her the {{badge|Mind}}.<br />
<br />
In ''[[PS259|Rayquaza Redemption II]]'', Sapphire confessed to Ruby that she had developed feelings for him. She admitted that the bet was made to fulfill a promise to a childhood friend who suggested they beat all eight Gym Leaders before they turned eleven to surpass {{adv|Red}}, a Trainer that beat the Pokémon League at that age. Sapphire then asked Ruby to give up on his previous statement of wanting to return to his home region of [[Johto]] and stay in Hoenn with her. After making their way back to Sootopolis, Ruby had Sapphire release the Blue Orb before locking her inside Wallace's aircar. Ruby showed Sapphire the scar on his forehead, revealing to Sapphire that he was the boy she knew from her younger years. After admitting he returned Sapphire's feelings but didn't want her to get hurt and, Ruby set off with Courtney to battle against Kyogre and Groudon.<br />
<br />
Eventually, Ruby managed to successfully use the Orbs to pacify Kyogre and Groudon, forcing both Pokémon to return to their eternal slumber. In ''[[PS265|It All Ends Now VI]]'', Ruby was attacked by Archie and Maxie, who returned and decided to work together and eliminate any obstacle before awakening Kyogre and Groudon again to continue their battle. Sapphire and Wallace came to Ruby's aid, but the latter was forced to give up in order to protect Winona, leading to his defeat.<br />
<br />
In ''[[PS267|It All Ends Now VIII]]'', Sapphire and Ruby teamed up to battle Archie and Maxie one last time. Using the battle as a distraction, Archie and Maxie tried escaping in Wallace's aircar, but were defeated by a combination attack from Plusle and Minun, trapping them in a large electrical field. Ruby then released his sixth Pokémon, {{adv|Celebi}}, who proceeded to take the Blue and Red Orbs from the villains. Using its [[Time travel|time-traveling]] powers, Celebi restored those who died in the battle back to life and then shattered the two Orbs, finally ending the crisis in Hoenn.<br />
<br />
Sapphire and Ruby awakened on the Pokémon Association airship, where their allies congratulated them on their victory. With only one day remaining, Sapphire and Ruby set off to complete their Gym and Contest challenges. The next day, Sapphire and Ruby met at Sapphire's Secret Base, where they revealed they successfully completed their goals, ending the bet in a tie. Afterward, both children returned home to celebrate both of their birthdays.<br />
<br />
==={{MangaArc|Emerald}}===<br />
[[File: Sapphire Adventures.png|thumb|left|200px|Sapphire in the Emerald arc]]<br />
In ''[[PS320|Verily Vanquishing Vileplume II]]'', Sapphire and Ruby arrived at the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} in order to assist {{adv|Emerald}}, the third Hoenn Pokédex holder, in protecting {{adv|Jirachi}} from the armored man, [[Guile Hideout]]. After meeting Emerald, the boy ran off saying that he didn't need their help. In an attempt to befriend Emerald, Sapphire and Ruby competed in a [[Battle Dome]] tournament. Sapphire advanced to the semi-finals, but was defeated by [[Tucker]]. Afterward, Emerald got frustrated by their constant pestering that he had Sapphire and Ruby thrown out of the Battle Dome.<br />
<br />
In ''[[PS322|A Cheeky Charizard Change-Up II]]'', Sapphire and Ruby encountered [[Spenser]], who noted Sapphire's connection to the Blue Orb. Finding Spenser's behavior suspicious, Sapphire and Ruby recorded their conversation with him on Ruby's Memory Lighter. In ''[[PS325|Standing in the Way with Starmie]]'', Spenser revealed that Guile managed to catch Jirachi and fled with it to the {{gdis|Battle Tower|III}}. Sapphire, Ruby, Emerald, and [[Noland]] all traveled to the Battle Tower in order to confront the man. After making their way into the area, they discovered that [[Anabel]] had been put under Guile's control.<br />
<br />
In ''[[PS327|Facing Gulpin Is Hard to Swallow]]'', Guile forced the Hoenn Pokédex holders and Noland to take the Battle Tower challenge in order to make it to him. The four battled through various Virtual Trainers before finally reaching the top floor, where Emerald faced off against Anabel. During the battle, {{adv|Eon duo|Latios}} arrived and used its Sight Sharing to relay a message from Spenser, who revealed that he came in contact with the Blue Orb in the past and gained the ability to detect others like him, which included Guile. With his identity exposed, Guile lifted his helmet, revealing himself to be Archie.<br />
<br />
In ''[[PS328|The Final Battle I]]'', Guile used Jirachi's wishing granting power to summon a giant Kyogre-shaped mass of seawater and had it flood the Battle Frontier. Sapphire and the others were assisted by the Johto Pokédex holders, {{adv|Gold}} and {{adv|Crystal}}, who revealed that their fellow Pokédex holder were turned to stone and the only way of reviving them was Jirachi. While Gold and Crystal kept the Kyogre monster busy, the Hoenn Pokédex holders trained to learn the ultimate moves, {{m|Blast Burn}}, {{m|Hydro Cannon}}, and {{m|Frenzy Plant}}. After they succeeded, Emerald managed to get Jirachi to grant his wish to turn the petrified Pokédex holders back to normal.<br />
<br />
In ''[[PS334|The Final Battle VII]]'', the ten Pokédex holders gathered together to for one final battle against Guile and his army of rental Pokémon. By utilizing a triple Blast Burn, Hydro Cannon, Frenzy Plant, and {{m|Volt Tackle}} combination, the Kyogre sea monster was overloaded with energy and exploded, finally ending the conflict with Guile. In ''[[PS337|Epilogue]]'', Sapphire participated in a tournament between the Pokédex holders, which she lost at some point.<br />
<br />
==={{MangaArc|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}}===<br />
In the Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire arc, the Hoenn Pokédex holders were enlisted by Steven and Mr. Stone to prevent a [[Grand Meteor Delta|meteoroid]] from crashing into the Earth and destroying it. Steven gave the three a [[Mega Bracelet]], enabling them to use [[Mega Evolution]] and had them train with [[Ultima]] so Mumu, Chic, and {{TP|Emerald|Sceptile}} could fully master the Ultimate Moves. Ruby only agreed to help on the condition that Sapphire be kept in the dark about the meteoroid. While Sapphire and Emerald practiced with each other, Ruby had plans elsewhere and lent Mumu to Sapphire so it could train without him.<br />
<br />
In ''[[PS596|Metagross Investigates]]'', Sapphire trained her new {{p|Kirlia}}, Kirly, and Ruby's [[Rara]] in order to evolve them into a {{p|Gardevoir}} fighting pair. When she accidentally kicked up a [[Dawn Stone]], Kirly evolved into a {{p|Gallade}} instead. Later, Sapphire and Emerald fully mastered the Ultimate Moves with Ultima's guidance and gained the ability to use Mega Evolution. In order to prevent potential enemies from finding them, Mr. Stone had the training moved to the abandoned energy harvesting facility, [[Sea Mauville]].<br />
<br />
In ''[[PS601|Beedrill Prepares]]'', the group arrived at the Sea Mauville, where Sapphire reunited with Plusle and Minun, who had made the facility their new home. The next day, Sapphire and Emerald assisted Steven and Mr. Stone by putting Chic and Sceptile on a machine known as an [[ultimate weapon|Absorber]] and using the power of the Ultimate Moves in their Mega-Evolved forms. To their horror, the Absorber drained Chic and Sceptile of their life energy to fuel a machine known as the dimensional shifter.<br />
<br />
In ''[[PS604|Goodra Spits]]'', the [[Draconid people|Draconid]] Zinnia and a group of Team Aqua and Magma Grunts attacked the Sea Mauville in order to destroy the dimensional shifter. After Zinnia revealed the truth about the meteoroid, the shock of Ruby and the others lying to her caused Sapphire to lose her voice. During the clash, Zinnia managed to steal Sapphire's Mega Bracelet, and Sapphire ended up falling into a ring belonging to the Mythical Pokémon {{p|Hoopa}}. Sapphire was transported to the inside of a rocket located at [[Mossdeep City]], where she handed the dimensional shifter to Professor Cozmo and his [[Professor Cozmo's assistants|assistants]].<br />
<br />
In ''[[PS608|Groudon Returns]]'', Sapphire met with Steven and Mr. Stone again. While Mr. Stone oversaw the rocket's launch, Sapphire battled against Zinnia in order to prevent from interfering with it. Eventually, Sapphire lost and was sent flying, allowing Zinnia to knock the rocket into the water and destroy the dimensional shifter.<br />
<br />
[[File: Ruby Sapphire Contest outfits Adventures.png|thumb|left|200px|Ruby and Sapphire wearing their [[Contest Costume]]s]]<br />
In [[PS612]], Sapphire woke up at {{rt|120|Hoenn}}, where she landed after Zinnia defeated her. There, she met [[Aarune]], who saw her falling and rescued her. Later, Sapphire spotted Ruby with {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Rayquaza}} and confronted him about lying to her. After Ruby apologized, Sapphire agreed to help stop the meteoroid and jumped onto Rayquaza's head. To Sapphire's shock, Archie and Maxie also appeared with [[Primal Reversion|Primal]] Kyogre and Groudon. The four then teamed up to destroy a large piece of the meteoroid, combining the power of Hoenn's three super-ancient Pokémon into one attack to shatter it to pieces. After they succeeded, Sapphire used the [[Jade Orb]] core to peer into Rayquaza's mind, revealing it needed the power of Mega Evolution to defeat the actual meteoroid.<br />
<br />
In [[PS615]], Zinnia managed to lure Rayquaza away from Sapphire and Ruby, but her attempt to convince the Sky High Pokémon to join ended with it rejecting and attacking her. Zinnia was rescued by Latios and taken to Sootopolis City to recover from her injuries. Brought to tears, Zinnia gave up and admitted there was no way to save the planet anymore. Emerald disagreed and suggested the three factions that tried to stop the meteoroid work together instead of fighting with each other.<br />
<br />
In [[PS616]], the group's allies from around Hoenn gathered together to lend a hand and stop the meteoroid, now known as Grand Meteor Delta. After changing into their [[Contest Costume]]s and putting [[Aqua Suit|Aqua]] and [[Magma Suit]]s over them, Sapphire and Ruby set off with Rayquaza to space. With the power of Mega Rayquaza and the combined might of their allies from Hoenn, [[Kanto]], and Johto, Sapphire and Ruby successfully shattered Grand Meteor Delta into pieces. A {{DL|Deoxys (Adventures)|Organism No. 1|Deoxys}} emerged from the wreckage of the meteoroid, but was defeated when Rayquaza shattered its core, knocking it unconscious. Afterward, Rayquaza took Sapphire and Ruby back down to Earth, where they reunited with their friends.<br />
<br />
With the crisis averted, Sapphire and Ruby participated in a {{pkmn|Contest|Pokémon Contest Spectacular}} together.<br />
<br />
==={{MangaArc|Diamond & Pearl}}===<br />
In ''[[PS377|Hurrah for Rapidash]]'', Sapphire was mentioned, although not by name, when [[Byron]] compared {{adv|Platinum}} having earned six Badges in 25 days to Sapphire's achievement of earning eight Badges in 80 days.<br />
<br />
In ''[[PS408|High-tailing It from Haunter]]'', Sapphire was briefly seen together with the other [[Pokédex holder]]s from [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], and [[Hoenn]] when the [[Advanced level Grunt]] was talking to {{adv|Diamond}} about the [[Pokédex]].<br />
<br />
==Pokémon==<br />
In the original version, Sapphire follows a "one syllable, then another syllable repeated twice" pattern in her nicknames with Chic being the only exception.

* Sapphire was the first character to successfully earn every Gym Badge in her home region. {{adv|Red}} challenged Gyms as well; although Red defeated every Gym Leader in [[Kanto]], he never did obtain an {{Badge|Earth}}. {{adv|Silver}}, who also owned eight Badges, simply stole his from the Gym Leaders of Johto instead of winning them in Gym battles.<br />

* Sapphire is {{ga|May}}'s only counterpart who is not a [[Pokémon Coordinator]].<br />

* In Japanese, she speaks in the {{wp|Hakata dialect}}.<br />
* While Sapphire has not been shown with an upgraded [[Pokédex]], [[PokéSPedia]] reveals she does in fact have one.<br />

'''Blue''' (Japanese: '''グリーン''' ''Green'') is a [[Pokédex holder|main character]] in the {{pkmn|manga}} series [[Pokémon Adventures]]. He is the grandson of {{adv|Professor Oak}}.<br />
<br />
In the fandom, it is sometimes assumed that his full name is '''Blue Oak''' (Japanese: '''オーキド・グリーン''' ''Green Ōkido'') like his {{pkmn|animated series}} counterpart [[Gary Oak]], but this has never been confirmed in official media.<br />
<br />
==Character==<br />
Blue has a serious, calm, and focused personality in everything he does. Although {{adv|Red}} and Blue were once bothered by each other because their personalities are so opposite, they ended up resolving their differences.<br />
<br />
Blue and his {{TP|Blue|Scyther}} were trained by Chuck of Cianwood City when he was seven.<ref>[http://corocoro.tv/pokesp/qa/qa_a_251_260.html#no251 Netkun Q&A No. 251] (Japanese)</ref> Thus, Blue has some cursory knowledge of martial arts, and his Scyther knew [[Generation II]] techniques.<br />
<br />
Blue's special skill, as described by {{adv|Professor Oak}}, is [[Pokémon training]]—that is, leveling them up and making them strong, and as such is referred to as the '''"{{pkmn|Trainer}}"''' (Japanese: {{tt|育てる者|そだてるもの}} ''Trainer'').<br />
<br />
Blue also has a rivalry with [[Koga]] of [[Team Rocket]]. This began when Blue almost killed Koga's {{p|Arbok}} by having his {{p|Charmeleon}} {{m|cut}} it in two, and continued on throughout the series until Koga's reclusion.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
{{Spoilers}}<br />
===Prior to {{MangaArc|Red, Green & Blue}}===<br />
When Blue was a child, [[Chuck]] trained him in the ways of fighting and [[Pokémon training]].<br />
<br />
Blue received his {{p|Charmander}} from Professor Oak prior to his debut in the manga.<br />
<br />
==={{MangaArc|Red, Green & Blue}}===<br />
[[File:Blue RGB chapter.png|thumb|200px|left|Blue in the first arc]]<br />
<br />
Blue was first seen by Red when he was battling a Mew with his Charmander, only to recall it after he thought it was too strong for him. This angered Red to a point that he decided to challenge Mew himself, only to be quickly defeated. Blue then told Red that he needs to know when he's outmatched and leaves. He then encounters Blue again who is attacking any Pokémon he sees to tell if they are worthy of catching, accidentally hitting Red's [[Poli]] in the process, but eventually the Pokémon he wanted to capture in the first place appeared, {{p|Kangaskhan}}, however it got away after Red healed the baby Kangaskhan who had been poisoned by a Poison-type Pokémon. It is this incident where a rivalry develops between these two. He is next seen in Pewter City with intent on challenging Brock and is later seen battling him with his newly evolved {{p|Charmeleon}}. He then goes to the Pokémon Tower after meeting Mr. Fuji, only to be caught under the control of the {{p|Gastly}}, until Red defeats them and frees him. The two of them eventually run into [[Koga]], who has been controlling the Gastly this whole time, however Blue eventually has his Charmeleon cut Koga's {{p|Arbok}} in half, making Koga swear a personal vendetta against him.<br />
<br />
[[File:Blue Adventures RGB.png|thumb|250px|right|Blue's original design]]<br />
During the course of their adventures, Red and Blue accidentally traded Pokémon, including his new {{p|Porygon}}, which the man at the front desk of the Game Corner said would be very difficult to train since he didn't catch it himself. This caused Blue's {{p|Machoke}} to evolve, and Blue took the opportunity to teach Red's Pokémon more exotic, varied, and useful moves. Red's training on Blue's Pokémon made them more playful and lighthearted, something that greatly annoyed Blue.<br />
<br />
After he unsuccessfully tries to enter Saffron City, he returns to Pallet Town to tell Red about the barrier. He tells Red that he believes from a picture he took that Saffron City is Team Rocket's hideout, and Blue in turn learns that his grandfather is missing. He then tells Red that since it is his grandfather that is missing, that he should be the only one to save him, and wants him to back off, although Green finally convinces the two of them to work together. They get separated in Silph Co. and ends up running into Koga on 2F, who, instead of allowing Blue to reach his Poké Balls, subdues him with his {{p|Muk}}. He tells Blue that rather than kill him on the spot, he wants to use him to get his grandfather to cooperate with them, to which Blue refuses. He then takes a Razor Wind to the chest and is seemingly rendered incapable of moving. When Red appears after defeating [[Lt. Surge]], Koga traps him too. Blue reveals that he was really wearing a reflective pendant given to him by Oak and that allowed him to have his Pidgeot attack Koga before he could kill both of them. Koga then calls his {{p|Articuno}} and freezes the two of them, only for Koga to realize that Blue previously called out his Charizard to keep the room warm enough for them to melt the ice. Koga was then subsequently defeated. Green then took Koga's Soul Badge and gave it to Red. They split up, Red to help Green, and Blue to save his grandfather, who was trapped in the basement, which he found out using Koga's Golbat. He finds his grandpa and realizes that all of the people from [[Pallet Town]] are tied up just a floor below them. He comes back in order to help Red and Green fight Sabrina and {{DL|Legendary birds (Adventures)|Thu-Fi-Zer}}, and, after Red's [[Saur]] evolves and Green's Clefairy evolves into a Clefable, they defeat Sabrina and Thu-Fi-Zer is split.<br />

At the [[Pokémon League]] tournament, Red's [[Saur|Venusaur]] barely defeats Blue's {{TP|Blue|Charizard}}. This tames their rivalry as the two finally begin to respect each other, and begin to become friendly rivals.<br />
<br />
Blue's cockiness becomes subdued as the story continues, and his personality becomes less mocking and more aloof and quiet. He is also able to rely on instinct more and constantly adapt his strategy. He often becomes flummoxed by {{adv|Green}}'s hyperactive meddling in everyone's affairs.<br />
<br />
==={{MangaArc|Yellow}}===<br />
[[File:Blue Y chapter.png|thumb|right|200px|Blue in the second arc]]<br />
Blue is first seen defeating a Gastly that all of the good Gym Leaders and Yellow were fighting. He then reveals that it had belonged to [[Agatha]] whom he had battle previously at the [[Kanto Power Plant]] due to the grudge she has toward his grandfather. He then says that he had cut off all contact with him just so nobody could listen in. Before he leaves Yellow wishes to train with him, which he allows.<br />
<br />
[[File:Blue child.png|thumb|left|200px|Younger Blue under Chuck's training]]<br />
Then he recalls to Yellow the time when he battled against Agatha. It was back during the time of the first arc when Red was battling Giovanni. Blue had just caught a Lapras that another boy named [[Evan]] was eyeing because he wanted a strong Pokémon so he could enter the Power Plant to save his Haunter which disappeared into there. He talked to his grandfather and he had heard similar rumors so Blue decided to investigate. He defeated several Magneton along the way before he finally encountered Agatha. After Evan let it slip that Blue was Oak's grandson she decided to destroy him instead of toy with him like she had planned initially. She had her Gengar use Hypnosis on him and then use Dream Eater to drain his power. His dream was of when he was training with Chuck and he made him do things without the help of his Pokémon and after he complained, Chuck made him realize that not only must a Pokémon be strong to defeat an opponent, but so must a Trainer. He then has his Golduck transfer his thoughts into his Pokédex for Evan to read and have him learn the same lesson, so he could rescue his Haunter which was in Poké Ball behind Agatha so its attack would disrupt Gengar's Dream Eater. This plan works and after Blue escapes, Agatha disappears before he could get any answers on how she knows his grandfather.<br />
<br />
He tutors {{adv|Yellow}} in more intense strategies for {{pkmn|battle}}s. It is during this training that Blue learns that Yellow doesn't know the basics of Pokémon. All of her Pokémon were given to her, she didn't know what moves [[Ratty]] knew and cried when it evolved since she didn't think it was Ratty anymore, and couldn't catch a simple {{p|Caterpie}} because she didn't want to hurt it so Blue had to catch it for her. He later teamed up with Yellow to defeat an entire pack of Mankey but when it became clear that Yellow could not defeat the leading Primeape he took it upon itself to defeat it with his Porygon. Yellow then goes off to continue training on her own.<br />
<br />
He then appears to Blaine at Cerise Island and the two of them try to take on the Elite Four, only for them to run into the three Rocket Admins, [[Koga]], [[Lt. Surge]], and [[Sabrina]].<br />
<br />
Later, he is paired up with Koga by Sabrina's Spoons of Destiny. Before he finds an opponent, he returns Golbat to Koga, which he had kept with him ever since the incident at Silph Co. The pair of them fight [[Agatha]] of the [[Elite Four]] once again but, during the battle, Blue and Golbat are separated from Koga. Agatha's Haunter then paralyzes Blue by using {{m|Lick}} on his eyes. He is forced to use Koga's Golbat once again, applying its echolocation to realize that there was another Golbat coming at him. After a while of evading the Golbat, Koga started throwing shuriken balls containing Paralyze Heals, one of which got to Blue and he was able to rejoin the battle, and defeat Agatha. Although it turns out that Agatha wasn't really defeated and was actually having her Gengar become Koga and Blue's shadow and was slowly sucking the life out of them and due to Koga's quick loss of blood Gengar was able to get away with this for a moderate time. They figured it out, however, and it was defeated.<br />
<br />
==={{MangaArc|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}===<br />
[[File:Blue GSC chapter.png|thumb|200px|left|Blue in the third arc]]<br />
Blue first appears in the third arc to take on the role of the [[Viridian City]] Gym Leader after Red declines the offer of the position. After capturing several Pokémon that were attracted to the Gym because of the Pokémon March Radio that was being played, he is given the title without the need for proper registration. He informs Red of a way to heal the frostbite that he had gotten from Lorelei's ice cuffs and lets him borrow his Charizard to help him get there easier. He also mentions Sabrina possibly being there, also healing her frostbitten wounds.<br />
<br />
Later, Blue, along with the Kanto and Johto Gym Leaders, travel to Indigo Plateau to take part in the tournament being hosted there. Picking the white [[Apricorn]] that determines the match up, Blue is put against his old master, [[Chuck]]. While waiting in his room for his match, he gets a call telling him that his match is coming up and contemplates about Red giving him his [[Gyara]] for his Charizard. He feels a powerful wave of heat and leaves the room to find {{adv|Silver}} attacking him.<br />
<br />
Believing that the other was the one who had created the intense heat, they have a brief battle that ends when they find the real culprit, an {{p|Entei}}. They battle the Entei with their {{p|Gyarados}} but it attacks with a {{m|Flamethrower}} and disappears.<br />
<br />
He tells Daisy about what happened and goes to his match against Chuck after Silver runs away. Having flashbacks to the time when they train together, Blue battles and eventually defeats his former master with his newly trained {{p|Rhydon}}.<br />
<br />
Once Team Rocket attacks Indigo Plateau, Blue, along with the other Gym Leaders, attack the grunts to try to prevent them from leaving the [[Magnet Train]]. As the Magnet Train speeds off in order to get the Gym Leaders away from the stadium, they are all rescued by the now-healed Red. While the Gym Leaders fight off the remaining grunts, Blue and Red go ahead on Blue's Rhydon and head back to the Stadium. While digging, they are encountered by their old enemies, Bruno and Koga who help them dig through the rock and reveal the plans of the [[Masked Man]].<br />
<br />
Following Red's spoon of fate, they end up in the [[Ilex Forest]] where they witness Green battling [[Karen]] and [[Will]] with her recently captured [[legendary birds]]. Blue and Red join the fight by taking command of {{p|Zapdos}} and {{p|Articuno}}, respectively. After a long battle, the two legendary Pokémon are calmed down by the efforts of many Pokémon sent by the people of Kanto and Johto to help them.<br />
<br />
With Ho-Oh and Lugia gone, Blue, Red, and Green go to battle the Masked Man and are joined by Silver, Yellow, and Crystal. As the battle continues, the Masked Man uses his powers to freeze the [[Pokédex holder]]s in a block of ice. After a combination of the water from [[Mt. Silver]] and the powerful flames of Entei, Blue and the others are freed from their icy prison and use their powers to help Gold, who has gone inside of the Ilex shrine to battle the Masked Man from inside.<br />
<br />
After the Masked Man is defeated, Blue attempts to arrest Silver for his previous thefts of Professor Oak's Pokédex and Professor Elm's {{p|Totodile}}. Before he can, Gold suddenly reappears and shows a fake picture that he previously made and states that Silver is not the one on the picture and thus, isn't the one who had done those crimes.<br />
<br />
==={{MangaArc|FireRed & LeafGreen}}===<br />
[[File:Blue Adventures.png|thumb|right|150px|Blue in the fifth arc]]<br />
Blue and Red are seen in the fifth arc going to Professor Oak's lab at his request. Instead of finding the Professor there, they find a [[Fame Checker]] with a message telling them to return their Pokédexes. After returning the Pokédexes, they head to Vermilion City and board the [[Seagallop|Seagallop Ferry]] and meet up with {{adv|Bill}} again.<br />
<br />
After some exploring, they find Green being attacked by an invisible Pokémon and attempt to rescue her. While Red saves Green, Blue attempts to attack the unknown Pokémon but it disappears before he can hit it. They take the unconscious Green to a Pokémon Center and find out that she was going to the Sevii Islands to meet up with the parents she was taken from when she was a child. Feeling that in order to beat the new enemy, they will need to become stronger and they are both attacked by the old woman of Cape Brink, [[Ultima]] who aims to help them become stronger.<br />
<br />
After some reluctance, they accept the offer and travel to Ultima's home to begin their training. After going through the first of the two trials they need to perform before the training can start, the two are shocked to find out that the third and last trial involves them battling each other. The two begin battling and neither are intending to lose the battle. Eventually, the battle ends in a tie and both [[Saur]] and Charizard end up learning the ultimate moves {{m|Frenzy Plant}} and {{m|Blast Burn}}, respectively.<br />
<br />
They find Ultima being attacked by the creature that had attacked Green earlier and attempt to use their new skills to defeat it but miss due to a lack of practice. After it is revealed that the Pokémon was actually Green's [[Ditty]] on disguise, Blue asks the Transform Pokémon to use its shape shifting abilities to transform into the unknown Pokémon once more, this time figuring out that it can transform. They are called by Bill to go to the [[Icefall Cave]] on [[Four Island]] and get the [[Vs. Seeker]] from him.<br />
<br />
They find out that the mysterious Pokémon may in fact be controlled by {{adv|Giovanni}} and are encountered by Lorelei, who wishes to help them fight against Team Rocket. Just then, they are attacked by [[Carr]], a member of the [[Three Beasts]] along with his teammates, [[Sird]] and [[Orm]]. They manage to escape from their grasp thanks to Lorelei but find out that the Three Beasts have put a hit out on the Kanto Pokédex holders and that they will destroy the Sevii Islands if they aren't brought to them.<br />
<br />
Red goes to battle Carr on [[Five Island]] while Lorelei goes to [[Seven Island]] to battle Sird; Blue goes to [[Six Island]] to battle Orm. While they battle, Blue is overrun by Orm's {{p|Shuckle}} and he is told that they have Professor Oak held captive. The battle continues and Blue manages to defeat Orm and his Shuckle army. Hoping that Red may have gotten information on his missing grandfather, Blue flies on his Charizard to Five Island but is nearly shot out of the sky by the Speed Forme of {{adv|Deoxys}}.<br />
<br />
Due to his painful defeat by the hands of Deoxys, Red becomes depressed, Green goes to try to cheer him up while Blue tells the rest of the group about his Grandfather's kidnapping. After Green finishes learning the third ultimate move, {{m|Hydro Cannon}}, and Red breaks out of his stupor, the group goes to defeat Team Rocket, this time with a new unexpected teammate, {{adv|Mewtwo}}. They travel to [[Trainer Tower]] and find Professor Oak and Green's parents tied up on top of the roof.<br />
<br />
When Blue and Green try to rescue them, it is revealed that they were only 3-D images and they are captured by mechanical arms before being rescued by Mewtwo. Mewtwo points the way to the real versions of Professor Oak and Green's parents and Blue uses his Pokémon to try to free them. Before he can, Trainer Tower's mother computer, "R", attacks them and stops his Pokémon in their tracks. Blue manages to defeat R with his Porygon2, infiltrating its computer network while freeing Professor Oak and Green's parents in the process.<br />
<br />
Soon after, they are attacked by a small army of Deoxys clones and they are forced to fight them off. They are then confronted by Giovanni who traps Mewtwo in a binding armor and sends the Deoxys clones to attack them. Blue attempts to attack Giovanni but he is just knocked back to the ground while Giovanni leaves to let the Deoxys clones to kill them. While Green and Professor Oak go and build the new Pokédex and Kimberly takes Green's parents to safety, Blue and Red are forced to fight off the Deoxys clones.<br />
<br />
Blue manages to connect with Mewtwo, thus having the ability to read its thoughts; this allows him to come up with a plan to free it from the M2Bind. Using the power of the three ultimate moves, Frenzy Plant, Blast Burn, and Hydro Cannon, Blue, Red, and Green manages to free Mewtwo from the M2Bind, allowing it to destroy R afterwards. Due to the previous battle being too exhausting, Blue lends his Charizard to Red so that he can chase after Giovanni and receives the new model Pokédex from Green.<br />
<br />
Later, Blue and Green witness the [[Team Rocket airship]] being blown up and set to crash into Vermilion City and rush to try to contain the damage. They find Silver and Giovanni surrounded by the flames of the rubble from the airship; Blue uses his Rhydon to rescue them. Although Silver thanks Blue for saving him, he states that he hates his father and Blue should've left Giovanni to die in the fire. Blue manages to convince Silver to change his mind after telling him about his past hatred of being the grandson of Professor Oak and how he is now proud to be called that. After Mewtwo and Yellow fall to the ground after being sent there by Red and Deoxys, Blue and Green notice the airship is about to crash and use their Pokémon to try to cushion the damage.<br />
<br />
Eventually, their Pokémon are unable to hold the airship and further and it crashes into Vermilion City. Luckily, the airship is moved by an unknown force and floats to the ground safely; Blue and the other Pokédex holders are seen joining together in their victory. After Deoxys thanks Red for his help and takes off to a faraway region, they are approached by Sird, who had previously fallen off the airship after Carr took it over and tried to crash it into Vermilion City. Sird attempts to capture Deoxys but Red, Blue, Green, Silver, Mewtwo, and Yellow (who was being held by Red) jump in front of the beam and are turned into stone as a result. He, along with the other four who were turned to stone, were shipped to the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} in a box by Professor Oak to be revived.<br />
<br />
==={{MangaArc|Emerald}}===<br />
For the most part of this arc, he, along with four other Pokédex holders, remained turned into stone. It was only at nearly the end of the arc that he and the others were liberated by {{adv|Emerald}} with the help of the wish-granting [[Mythical Pokémon]] {{adv|Jirachi}}.<br />
<br />
Once revived, Blue and the others find out that they are currently in a battle against the evil [[Guile Hideout]] and his {{p|Kyogre}}-shaped monster called the "Sea Demon" that he created with the power of Jirachi. Blue and the other nine Pokédex holders fight off Guile's army of rental Pokémon before being flooded by the power of the Sea Demon. After Gold and Red destroy Guile's armor, Blue and the others are seen with their Pokémon, ready to destroy the Sea Demon. With the combined powers of the four ultimate moves, Hydro Cannon, Blast Burn, Frenzy Plant, and {{m|Volt Tackle}}, they manage to blow up the Sea Demon, defeating it once and for all.<br />
<br />
The next day, after Guile is finally defeated, Blue and the others celebrate their victory and joins in a [[Battle Dome]] tournament that was suggested by Red, however, neither his victories or losses are known.<br />
<br />
==={{MangaArc|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}===<br />
[[File:Blue HGSS chapter.png|thumb|left|180px|Blue in the ninth arc]]<br />
It is revealed that the {{p|Rhyperior}} that Silver owns is in fact Blue's Rhydon evolved after they traded. Blue was shown in his updated design and to have gone with Silver to find Giovanni after the [[Pokédex holder]]s' victory in the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|IV}} against Guile Hideout; however, Giovanni was nowhere to be found due to the fact that more than three months had passed between the time they were petrified and freed.<br />
<br />
==={{MangaArc|Diamond & Pearl}}===<br />
In ''[[PS408|High-tailing It from Haunter]]'', Blue was briefly seen together with the other [[Pokédex holder]]s from [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], and [[Hoenn]] when the [[Advanced level Grunt]] was talking to {{adv|Diamond}} about the [[Pokédex]].<br />
<br />
In ''[[PS414|Double Trouble with Dialga and Palkia IV]]'', at the [[Spear Pillar]], Sird told the Team Galactic {{tc|Commander}}s about how she escaped from Red, Blue, Green, Yellow, and Silver by turning them into stone with her {{p|Darkrai}}.<br />
<br />
==={{MangaArc|X & Y}}===<br />
Here, it is revealed that in the past, Blue became one of [[Gurkinn]]'s disciples in learning the art of [[Mega Evolution]]. Blue first appears in the twelfth arc at [[Geosenge Town]], watching the battle between {{p|Xerneas}} and {{p|Yveltal}} end in a ceasefire due to the Legendary Pokémon being equal in strength. As Xerneas and its allies leave the area, he wonders if the battle between the two Pokémon could end if "Z" truly exists. Blue meets with [[Diantha]], an old acquaintance of his from his earlier trip to Kalos. Blue reveals to Diantha that he was told of Xerneas and Yveltal's awakening and is currently searching for "Z", which is the Legendary Pokémon {{adv|Zygarde}}. After Diantha agrees to help Blue on his quest, the two set off to search for clues.<br />
<br />
After some traveling, Blue and Diantha meet with {{adv|X}} and {{adv|Y}}, the Pokédex holders of the Kalos region. After helping X capture a wild {{p|Pinsir}}, Blue and Diantha head to the [[Lost Hotel]] to meet with Gurkinn. While X and his friends head to meet with [[Professor Sycamore]], Blue has Charizard and Rhyperior keep them safe on their travels. Once X's group reached their destination, Blue's Pokémon head back to their Trainer.<br />
<br />
Later, at [[Anistar City]], Blue and Diantha manage to find Zygarde, which had appeared in the area. Just as they land, [[Emma|Essentia]] manages to capture it for Team Flare before escaping.<br />
<br />
After learning that Team Flare had gone into hiding at [[Pokémon Village]], Blue, Diantha, and X's group all head out to confront the villains. On the way to the village, the group is attacked by Xerosic, who uses his Malamar to put everyone to sleep. After Blue manages to wake up, he has Y and the others go on ahead while he and X stay behind to fight Xerosic. With Blue's Mega Charizard Y and X's Mega Charizard X, the two proceed to easily defeat Xerosic. With no more obstacles remaining, Blue and X take to the skies and head towards the village, only to be intercepted by Yveltal. Y arrives just in time to defend Blue from Yveltal's attacks with her [[Xerxer]], who tells everyone to go on ahead while it fights Yveltal alone.<br />
<br />
While Y and Trevor go to help Tierno and Shauna battle the Team Flare scientists, Blue and X go to the Pokémon Village, only to find [[Lysandre]] in battle with Mewtwo. Lysandre reveals to the two that Mewtwo is the protector of the village and began attacking when Team Flare started to capture the Pokémon that lived in the village. Lysandre manipulates Mewtwo into battling Blue and X in an attempt to weaken it enough to be captured. Blue attempts to call out to Mewtwo and get it to recognize him, but his attempts end in failure. During the battle, Mewtwo attacks Blue and X, but redirects the attack towards Lysandre to hit him instead. Mewtwo then proceeds to Mega Evolve into Mega Mewtwo Y. Lysandre counters by summoning Essentia and having her use {{p|Zygarde}} to attack everyone.<br />
<br />
The person who Mega Evolved Mewtwo reveals himself to be Blaine, who had been away from the village, which he had been living at for some time after reuniting with Mewtwo. Lysandre has Essentia command Zygarde to use {{m|Land's Wrath}} to heavily damage everyone. The attack heavily damages Blaine, forcing Mewtwo to revert to its normal form. When Zygarde attacks again, Blaine has Mewtwo switch Mega Stones so that it may Mega Evolve into Mega Mewtwo X. Blaine reveals that due to their unique bond, Mewtwo is able to Mega Evolve more than once during a battle. Despite this ability, Zygarde proves to be more powerful than Mewtwo in its Mega-Evolved state and uses Land's Wrath to defeat Blue, Blaine, and Mewtwo at once. With his allies unconscious, X decides to borrow their Key Stones in order to simultaneously Mega Evolve his five capable Pokémon. With their combined power, X's team fights against Zygarde. When Lysandre attempts to stop X with his own Pokémon, Blue and Blaine arrive in time to defeat them. After some time, X manages to defeat Lysandre, freeing Zygarde from his control and putting an end to Team Flare in the process.<br />
<br />
Later, Blue and Blaine talk to Professor Sycamore about the final battle against Team Flare. They reveal that after Zygarde disappeared, a small green creature was spotted watching them from the rubble. Sycamore reveals that similar creatures, which he named the Zygarde Cell, have been seen in the [[Alola]] region and sends his assistants, [[Sina]] and [[Dexio]], to investigate.<br />

With these, Blue managed to defeat Chuck with Rhydon alone despite the type disadvantage, earning a win for the Kanto Gym Leaders. In the {{MangaArc|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}, Rhydon was traded to Silver to replace his missing {{p|Ursaring}}.

|desc=Blue caught these Pokémon when they were rampaging due to the radio in ''[[PS116|Rock, Paper...Scizor]]''.

None of Exeggutor's moves are known and his Ability is {{a|Chlorophyll}}.<br/><br />

<br />
* Because the bonus snippets of Volume 6 shows that Blue has registered 126 Pokémon by the time he battles Agatha, it can be assumed that Blue has caught many more that have yet to be shown or added to his teams.<br />
<br />
* Blue also received an unknown Pokémon from {{adv|Silver}} in ''[[PS449|Raising the Stakes with Rhyperior]]'' for trading him his {{TP|Blue|Rhydon}}.<br />

==Achievements==<br />
===Badges obtained===<br />
Unlike Red, Blue has not made it a priority to win all the Gym Badges, only obtaining two of them and giving one away.<br />
<br />
* {{Badge|Boulder}} (''[[PS005|Onix Is On!]]'')<br />
* {{Badge|Soul}} (''[[PS031|The Art of Articuno]]''; given away in ''[[PS031|The Art of Articuno]]'')<br />
<br />
===Pokémon League===<br />
Blue has competed in the following [[Pokémon League]]s:<br />
* Ninth Triennial [[Indigo League]] - Runner-up (''[[PS040|A Charizard...and a Champion]]'')<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
* Blue and {{adv|Green}} had their names switched around for the English translation. This is due to the complexity of [[Generation I]]'s game releases; in Japan, [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Pokémon Red was paired with Pokémon Green]] (leaving {{game|Blue|_(Japanese)}} as a {{DL|core series|release model|third version}}), whereas in the rest of the world, [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Pokémon Red was paired with Pokémon Blue]] (while there was no Pokémon Green). This name change is present in both the [[VIZ Media]] and [[Chuang Yi]] translations. His {{ga|Blue|game counterpart}} is also named Blue in the English translation of the games.<br />
** A panel in the original VIZ printing of {{vol|Pokémon Adventures|3}} forgets to make this change. When the Pokémon League scoreboard is shown, Red's rival is identified as "GREEN" and {{adv|Green}} is identified as "BLUE". This oversight was still present in the compilation volume [[The Best of Pokémon Adventures: Red]], but was corrected for the 2009 second edition.<br />
** Amongst the occidental languages, only the Italian version kept his Japanese name.<br />
* Although {{adv|Silver}} is the [[Pokédex holder]] whose special skill is Pokémon [[Trade|trading]], Blue tops out the roster amongst the holders with four Pokémon that have evolved via trade. They are his {{TP|Blue|Scizor}}, {{TP|Blue|Machamp}}, {{TP|Blue|Porygon2}}, and {{TP|Blue|Rhyperior}}. Additionally, his Porygon2 and {{p|Pumpkaboo}} are capable of evolving via trade.<br />
* Both the Japanese and Chinese print show that {{adv|Professor Oak}} is Blue's paternal grandfather.<br />
* Blue is the only Pokédex holder to have a named [[Daisy Oak|sibling]].<br />
* Blue is 5'9" (175 cm) tall and weighs 132 lbs (60 kg).<br />
** Blue is both the tallest and heaviest Pokédex holder.<br />
* Blue is the first Pokédex holder to receive his Pokédex.<br />

'''Red''' (Japanese: '''{{j|レッド}}''' ''Red'') is the {{player|player character}} in the [[Generation I]] games [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Pokémon Red, Green]], [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Blue]], and {{v2|Yellow}} and the male choice in their [[Generation III]] remakes {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, where his female counterpart is {{ga|Leaf}}.<br />
<br />
Red is known throughout the [[Pokémon world]] as the {{pkmn|Champion}} from [[Pallet Town]], as well as a living legend for his defeat of [[Team Rocket]] in [[Kanto]] during his quest. He is the final opponent in the [[Generation II]] games {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, their [[Generation IV]] remakes {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, and {{g|Stadium 2}}. He is a participant in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]]'s [[Champions Tournament]] in {{B2W2}} and works as a boss of the [[Battle Tree]] alongside {{ga|Blue}} in the [[Generation VII]] games {{pkmn|Sun and Moon|Sun, Moon}}, {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon}}. In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], he appears as the highest-level Trainer in the game, capable of being challenged after defeating six [[Master Trainer]]s.<br />
<br />
==In the core series games==<br />
{{spoilers}}<br />
Red is introduced as a curious 11-year-old boy from [[Pallet Town]]. According to the instruction manuals of {{3v2|Red|Green|Blue}}, Red gained an interest in Pokémon after his best friend, {{ga|Blue}}, stopped playing with him and became a bully, although in the games [[Professor Oak]] says the two have been rivals since infancy. His adventure begins one day when Professor Oak calls the two to his lab for a [[first partner Pokémon]]. Red has a choice of a {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, or {{p|Squirtle}}{{sup/1|G}}{{sup/1|RB}}{{sup/3|FRLG}}. Depending on the Pokémon that Red chooses, Blue will choose the Pokémon that has a type advantage over it{{sup/1|G}}{{sup/1|RB}}{{sup/3|FRLG}}. In {{game|Yellow}}, Red was originally intended to get an {{p|Eevee}}, which was swiped by Blue. As a result, Blue keeps the Eevee and Red receives a {{OBP|Pikachu|Yellow}} that Professor Oak caught earlier{{sup/1|Y}}. Blue challenges Red to a battle immediately to test out his new Pokémon, thinking he will easily beat Red.<br />
<br />
After Red has made his way to [[Viridian City]] to the north and taken [[Parcel|a package]] back to Oak in Pallet Town, Oak gives Red and Blue each a [[Pokédex]] with which to record data on all known Pokémon in the Kanto region to fulfill Oak's dream of creating a full guide on all Pokémon in Kanto. From here, Red and Blue journey across Kanto, collecting Pokémon to build up their teams, and defeating each of the [[Gym Leader]]s in turn, with Blue always one step ahead, showing up from time to time to impede Red's progress.<br />
<br />
Red also comes across a gang of Pokémon thieves, [[Team Rocket]], several times through his journey. He first encounters them trying to steal fossils within Mt. Moon. Then he encounters a member who is running the Nugget Bridge challenge to recruit for the organization on {{rt|24|Kanto}}; and another lone member who has stolen a [[TM]] from a family in [[Cerulean City]]. Eventually, Red uncovers a plot by Team Rocket, infiltrating their [[Team Rocket Hideout|hideout]] beneath the [[Celadon Game Corner]] and encountering their boss, [[Giovanni]]. Defeating him and ousting Team Rocket from Celadon, Red uses the [[Silph Scope]] that Giovanni leaves behind to battle {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon and save [[Mr. Fuji]] in the [[Pokémon Tower]] in [[Lavender Town]], who is being held hostage by Team Rocket. Red soon journeys into Saffron City in the heart of Kanto to find it overrun by Team Rocket, who is attempting to take the recently invented [[Master Ball]] from the [[Silph Co.]] President, and defeats Giovanni again, ending the group's plots for the time being.<br />
<br />
With seven Badges in hand, Red encounters Giovanni for the final time—this time as the [[Gym Leader|Leader]] of the [[Viridian Gym]], his final obstacle before the [[Elite Four]] of [[Indigo Plateau]]. Red defeats him in battle, earning his eighth and final Badge—the {{Badge|Earth}}. He disbands Team Rocket, promising to go into solo training to become a better Trainer.<br />
<br />
Making it through {{ka|Victory Road}} and finally to Indigo Plateau, Red challenges the [[Indigo League]]. First, he defeats the Elite Four and discovers, to his surprise, that Blue has defeated them before him and is therefore the {{pkmn|Champion}} of Kanto. Red defeats Blue in the final battle, becoming the Champion himself, but then continues his training, rather than staying at Indigo Plateau. Encountering an offshoot of Team Rocket in the southern [[Sevii Islands]], lead by Executive [[Archer]], Red reveals with his Earth Badge that Giovanni has disbanded the organization, and, though defeated, the group there intends to revive Team Rocket and bring Giovanni back, having already made plans to force Pokémon to evolve with radio waves.<br />
<br />
Red continues as a wandering Trainer, eventually making his way to [[Mt. Silver Cave]], where he trains his Pokémon alone. In the process, he becomes so distant from the people close to him that he does not even talk to his mom via phone anymore.<br />
<br />
Eventually, {{ga|Ethan}}, {{ga|Kris}}, or {{ga|Lyra}} arrives at Mt. Silver Cave and challenges Red, identified only as a [[Pokémon Trainer]]. If defeated, Red vanishes from Mt. Silver, and returns every time the Elite Four is defeated again by the player of Gold, Silver, Crystal, HeartGold, or SoulSilver.<br />
<br />
In {{B2W2}}, Red is shown to finally come back into public life, as he enters the [[Champions Tournament]] of the [[Pokémon World Tournament]] in the [[Unova]] region. In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon]], {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon}}, a visibly older Red is invited to work as the boss of [[Alola]]'s [[Battle Tree]] along with Blue. When {{ga|Elio}} or {{ga|Selene}} first visits the Battle Tree, they will encounter Red and Blue and battle one of them. After Red{{sup/7|SMUSUM}} or Blue{{sup/7|USUM}} is defeated at the Battle Tree proper, Red will reward the player with a full set of Kanto first partner Pokémon [[Mega Stone]]s.<br />
<br />
Red makes an appearance in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]]. In this continuity, he and Blue completed their journeys and defeated the Elite Four years before the player character started their journey. If the player has defeated at least six [[Master Trainer]]s and has six Pokémon in their [[party]], Red can be found in front of the Pokémon League building at Indigo Plateau, where he may be challenged to a battle. Like during all Master Trainer battles, the player isn't allowed to use [[item]]s from their [[Bag]] during this battle. After being defeated, Red will grant the player the title of [[Pokémon Master|Battle Master]] before leaving, though he will reappear for a [[rematch]] each time the player defeats the Elite Four.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon===<br />
As the player character, Red can have on his team any of the 151 Pokémon available during [[Generation I]]. In [[Generation III]], he can have any of the 386 Pokémon available at that time, though only after the player has obtained the [[National Pokédex]].<br />
<br />
When he is encountered as an opponent in [[Generation II]] and [[Generation IV]], Red has a set team, based on Generation I in-game event Pokémon, and has the highest leveled trained Pokémon yet encountered in the series, with his {{TP|Red|Pikachu}} at level 81 in Generation II and at level 88 in Generation IV. In HeartGold and SoulSilver, when he is defeated, all Pokémon in the player's party receive the {{DL|List of Ribbons in the games|Legend Ribbon}}.<br />
<br />
In {{B2W2}}, he can be fought in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]]'s [[Champions Tournament]], using the same team he did in Generation IV, albeit with different movesets.<br />
<br />
In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon]], {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon}}, Red once again uses his team from Generation IV, just with altered movesets. When battled in the [[Battle Tree]] proper, Red will use a randomly selected team from a preset selection of Pokémon.<br />
<br />
In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], Red's team has notable differences to his previous [[core series]] teams, lacking {{p|Charizard}} and {{p|Blastoise}} which now appear as the highest levelled Pokémon in {{ga|Blue}} and {{ga|Green}}'s teams respectively.<br />

==In the side series games==<br />
===[[Pokémon Stadium 2]]===<br />
Red appears in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]]. He can be battled in the Kanto [[Gym Leader Castle]] after the player has defeated all eight Kanto Gym Leaders, being the final opponent the player must defeat in order to clear the Gym Leader Castle challenge.<br />
<br />
During the game's end credits, he is seen having a battle with {{ga|Blue}}.<br />
<br />
====Pokémon====<br />
Red uses vastly different sets of Pokémon than in any of his other appearances, only sharing a couple Pokémon with the teams he uses in the [[core series]]. Notably, this is the only game where he's not seen using {{TP|Red|his Pikachu|Pikachu}}. In Round 2, each of his Pokémon knows {{m|Hidden Power}}.<br />

===Pokémon Colosseum and XD: Gale of Darkness===<br />
Red makes an appearance in both [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]]. While he does not appear in the games' Story Mode, he is playable in the Battle Mode when a FireRed or LeafGreen cartridge is used, with a male player character chosen. He can take on Mt. Battle's 100-battle challenge, as well as compete in Colosseum battles.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Battle Revolution===<br />
Red made a brief appearance in the debut trailer of [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]], having a [[Double Battle]] against {{ga|Leaf}}, using a {{p|Deoxys}} in its Attack Forme and a {{p|Wailord}}. Despite this, he didn't appear in the final cut of the game.<br />
<br />
==In the spin-off games==<br />
===[[Super Smash Bros. series]]===<br />
[[File:Pokemon Trainer Brawl.png|thumb|250px|left|Red in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] with his Pokémon]]<br />
[[File:Pokemon Trainer SSBU.png|thumb|250px|Red in [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]]]<br />
====Pokémon Trainer====<br />
{{main|Pokémon Trainer (Super Smash Bros.)}}<br />
Red is known as the "Pokémon Trainer" in the [[Super Smash Bros. series]]. He has a team consisting of {{p|Squirtle}}, {{p|Ivysaur}}, and {{p|Charizard}}. Rather than fighting himself like most other characters, Red sends his three Pokémon into battle, switching between them in order.<br />
<br />
Red debuted as a playable character in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]. He was absent from [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]], the only game in the series where his {{SSB|Charizard}} is available as an individual fighter. Red returned as a playable character in [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]], and additionally {{ga|Leaf}} debuted as part of his palette swaps, sharing the same title of "Pokémon Trainer". Red is voiced by [[Michele Knotz]] and [[Billy Bob Thompson]] in the English versions of [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]] and [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate|Ultimate]] respectively, and 半場友恵 ''[[Tomoe Hanba]]'' in the Japanese versions.<br />
<br />
====Other references====<br />
* Red's hat appears as an alternate outfit worn by {{SSB|Pikachu}} from [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]] onward, possibly in specific reference to {{game|Yellow}} (which, in turn, was inspired by ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'').<br />
* In [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]], Red is featured as a trophy to represent Pokémon Trainers.<br />
<br />
===[[Pokémon GO]]===<br />
{{main|Style (GO)}}<br />
For [[Pokémon Day]] 2018, Red's outfit from {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} was released as free style option in [[Pokémon GO]].<br />
<br />
===[[Pokémon Masters EX]]===<br />
{{main|Red (Masters)}}<br />
Red, who is based on the [[player character]], forms a [[sync pair]] with {{TP|Red|Charizard}}, {{p|Snorlax}}, {{TP|Red|Pikachu}}, {{p|Articuno}}, and {{p|Venusaur}} in [[Pokémon Masters EX]]. His Charizard is capable of [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolving]] into Mega Charizard X, while his Snorlax and Pikachu are both capable of [[Gigantamax]]ing, and his Venusaur is capable of [[Dynamax]]ing. Red became a playable sync pair on February 28, 2020.<br />
<br />
In this game, Red is indirectly responsible for the creation of the [[Pokémon Masters League]], as him defeating [[Lear]] before the events of the game was what inspired Lear to create [[Pasio]] and the PML in order to get another chance at beating him. Red first appeared as an NPC during the second chapter of [[PML Arc]]. He also made notable appearances later in the PML Arc, and the [[Villain Arc]]. Unlike in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, both Red and {{mas|Leaf}} coexist in this game.<br />

==Quotes==<br />
{{main|Red (game)/Quotes}}<br />
<br />
==Optional names==<br />
When starting a new game of {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, if the player leaves the name writing screen without any written name, or with a name composed entirely of empty spaces, [[Professor Oak]] says, "Right... So your name is <optional name>", suggesting one of the 19 available names; there are 24 names in total, but there are 5 exclusive to FireRed and 5 exclusive to LeafGreen. The player may answer "Yes" to accept the suggested name, or "No" to return to the name writing screen.<br />

==In the TFG==<br />
There are three {{TFG|Trainer figure|Trainer figures}} based on Red with his design from {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, except with different names and colors.<br />
<br />
* {{TFG ID|Next Quest|Red|42}} (Japanese: レッド ''Red'') from {{TFG|Next Quest}}, wearing his usual red clothes.<br />
* {{TFG ID|Groundbreakers|Green|39}} (Japanese: グリーン ''Green'') from {{TFG|Groundbreakers}}, with green hat, shirt and shoes.<br />
* {{TFG ID|Unnamed Third Set|Yellow|42}} (Japanese: イエロー ''Yellow''), from the {{TFG|Unnamed Third Set}}, with yellow hat, shirt and shoes.<br />
<br />
The Red figure is part of the single released set, Next Quest. The other two sets were not released, so the Green and Yellow figures were not released either.<br />

[[File:Ash debut.png|thumb|250px|Ash Ketchum, Red's {{aniseries|PTS}} counterpart]]<br />
Red's loose [[Cross-canon counterpart|animated counterpart]], introduced in the [[EP001|first episode]], is the main character of ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'', Ash Ketchum. Like Red, Ash is from Pallet Town, on a {{pkmn|journey}} to become a Pokémon Master. Unlike Red, Ash's journey did not end with Kanto, and Ash continued through every other region introduced in the [[core series]] games until [[Galar]], as well as the [[Orange Islands]] south of Kanto, taking the place of the player characters of Generation II during [[Johto]] and Generation V during [[Unova]], and being joined by the animated series counterparts of {{ga|May}}, {{ga|Dawn}}, and {{ga|Serena}} during the Hoenn, Sinnoh, and Kalos sagas respectively. Instead of starting with one of the standard three Kanto first partner Pokémon, however, Ash began his journey with a {{AP|Pikachu}}, inspiring {{game|Yellow}}'s creation, as well as causing some to consider Red and Ash to be exactly the same person, most especially due to Red owning {{TP|Red|one|Pikachu}} as well.<br />
<br />
====''I Choose You!'' trilogy====<br />
{{main|Ash Ketchum (M20)}}<br />
Red has another animated counterpart, {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|M20|an alternate Ash Ketchum}}, who appeared in ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'', ''[[M21|The Power of Us]]'', and ''[[M23|Secrets of the Jungle]]''; these {{pkmn|movie}}s are set in a timeline separate from ''Pokémon the Series''. This Ash shares the same basic characteristics as the main Ash, but goes on a different journey compared to the character in ''Pokémon the Series''.<br />

====Pokémon Origins====<br />
{{main|Red (Origins)}}<br />
[[File:Blaine Arcanine PO.png|thumb|left|250px|Red in [[Pokémon Origins]]]]<br />
Red also had a direct counterpart that appeared as the main character of the [[Pokémon Origins]] mini-series, which takes place in a separate continuity. This counterpart shared Red's name, in-game role, and design from FireRed and LeafGreen. The mini-series follows Red as he challenges the [[Indigo League]] and fights [[Team Rocket]] with his [[first partner Pokémon]], {{TP|Red|Charmander|Charizard}}.<br />
{{-}}<br />
<br />
====Pokémon Generations====<br />
[[File:Red PG.png|thumb|250px|Red in [[Pokémon Generations]]]]<br />
Another direct counterpart of Red appeared in [[Pokémon Generations]]. He first appeared in ''[[PG01|The Adventure]]'', where he {{pkmn2|caught}} a {{TP|Red|Pikachu}} in [[Viridian Forest]]. He then went on to experience various other adventures with his Pikachu across other regions, during which he encountered various {{pkmn2|wild}} and [[Legendary Pokémon]].<br />
<br />
Red briefly reappeared at the end of ''[[PG03|The Challenger]]'', having just defeated the [[Elite Four]] at [[Indigo Plateau]], and preparing to challenge {{ga|Blue}} for the title of the {{pkmn|Champion}}.<br />
<br />
Like the [[core series]] games, Red is not heard speaking during his appearances.<br />

==Trivia==<br />
* Red's title screen and profile front sprites from {{game|Red and Green|s}} correspond to his earlier [[Capsule Monsters]] artwork instead of his final [[Generation I]] artwork. His title screen sprite was updated in {{game|Blue| (Japanese)}} but the profile front sprite remained unchanged.<br />
** In {{game|Yellow}}, he has no title screen sprite and his front sprite is updated in part to match his official artwork and possibly in part to match [[Ash Ketchum]], his {{pkmn|animated series}} counterpart, as the frontal section of his hat has the same division in the middle as [[Ash's hat]] from the [[original series]].<br />
* Red's [[party]] in [[Generation II]], {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, {{B2W2}}, and {{game4|SMUSUM}} is based heavily on in-game events from the Generation I games and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}:<br />
** {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Venusaur}}, {{p|Blastoise}}, and {{p|Pikachu}} are the [[game mascot]]s of the four Generation I games: Pokémon Red, Green, Blue, and Yellow. They are also available in all iterations of the original [[Kanto]] plot and can all be obtained in a single save file in Pokémon Yellow;<br />
** {{p|Espeon}} could have been obtained as an {{p|Eevee}} in [[Celadon City]], and Eevee notably serves as {{ga|Blue}}'s [[first partner Pokémon]] in Pokémon Yellow;<br />
** {{p|Lapras}} is given away by a [[Silph Co.]] employee shortly before [[Team Rocket]] is defeated there;<br />
** Two {{p|Snorlax}} are required to be caught or defeated in order to travel to [[Fuchsia City]]. Furthermore, in the Generation II games and Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, only the Snorlax that was previously blocking {{rt|12|Kanto}} (now blocking the entrance to [[Diglett's Cave]]) is available to the {{player}}, suggesting that Red caught the one blocking {{rt|16|Kanto}}.<br />
*** In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, apart from his Venusaur and Blastoise being fully evolved, Red's team is identical to that of [[Ash Ketchum]] throughout most of the [[S02|Orange Islands]] arc.<br />
*** Also in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, the four game mascots all know their [[Generation III]] [[signature move]]s: Venusaur, Charizard, and Blastoise know {{m|Frenzy Plant}}, {{m|Blast Burn}} and {{m|Hydro Cannon}}, respectively, while Pikachu knows {{m|Volt Tackle}}. Furthermore, his Pikachu's moveset coincides with the four moves that [[Ash's Pikachu]] used during ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]'': Volt Tackle, {{m|Quick Attack}}, {{m|Iron Tail}}, and {{m|Thunderbolt}}.<br />
* All six of the Pokémon that Red uses in the core series from HeartGold and SoulSilver to Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon are capable of [[Gigantamax]] in Sword and Shield.<br />
* In HeartGold and SoulSilver, Red's [[level]] 88 [[Red's Pikachu|Pikachu]] is the highest-leveled Pokémon owned by a non-player character outside of [[Battle facility|battle facilities]], tied with [[Cynthia's Garchomp]] during the second [[rematch]] in {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}.<br />
** However, the level of several NPCs' Pokémon in {{4v|Black|White}} are variable and can exceed that of the two, depending on the level of the Pokémon that is [[in-game trade#Generation V|traded]] to them.<br />
* When Red is encountered at the summit of Mt. Silver during Generation II and Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, he has no speech, merely repeating sets of {{wp|ellipsis|ellipses}} <!--2 sets of regular 3-dot ellipses in English GSC and 2 sets of 18-dot ellipses in English HGSS; 10 sets (GSC)/6 sets (HGSS) sets of 2 midline horizontal ellipses each in the Japanese versions--> before beginning the {{pkmn|battle}}. This is a reference to his silent role in [[Generation I]], as he only answered choice questions like <sc>Yes</sc> or <sc>No</sc>. This unique characteristic remains in later [[generation]]s.<br />
** In FireRed and LeafGreen, {{ga|Blue}} sarcastically calls him a "chatty gossip".<br />
*** Blue also jokes about this in Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon.<br />
** Despite this, {{DL|Copycat (character)|Quotes|dialogue that ensues}} when talking to {{OBP|Copycat|character}} in Generation I and FireRed and LeafGreen implies that Red is speaking.<br />
*** Also, only in the Spanish version of HeartGold and SoulSilver, the line "<Trainer> used one <item>!" for opponents using items in battle was localized as "<Trainer>: ¡Voy a usar <item>!" ("<Trainer>: I'm going to use <item>!"), thus causing Red to speak when using an item in battle.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5F1hpXj3f-Q</ref><br />
*** In [[Pokémon Masters EX]], while primarily silent, {{mas|Red}} has {{DL|Red (game)/Quotes|Pokémon Masters EX|several spoken lines of dialogue}}.<br />
* Much like there is minimal information on his {{Ash|animated series counterpart}}'s father, Red's father is mentioned only briefly when examining an {{wp|Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES}} at the [[Celadon Department Store]] in the Generation I games and FireRed and LeafGreen.<br />
* In HeartGold and SoulSilver, Red is the only {{pkmn|Trainer}} who uses the {{pkmn|battle}} transition effect from Generation II.<br />
* All of his animation and manga counterparts also have owned a Pikachu, with {{Zensho|Satoshi}} from Pokémon Zensho being the only one who evolved his one into a {{p|Raichu}}.<br />
* Along with Blue, [[Lance]], and the Generation I and III Kanto [[Gym Leader]]s (excluding [[Giovanni]] and [[Koga]]), Red has appeared in almost every [[generation]] of the [[Pokémon games]], with six out of nine so far. He is the only protagonist with this feat.<br />
* Red and Lance share the same unique {{pkmn|Champion}} battle music in [[Johto]]-based games and Pokémon Black 2 and White 2's [[Champions Tournament]].<br />
* Red's T-shirt in Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon bears the number 96, referencing the original Japanese release year of Pokémon Red and Green.<br />
* Red is the only protagonist to be battled, as an NPC, outside of the generation he was introduced in.<br />
* A Trainer closely resembling an older Red briefly appears in {{DetPikMov}}, where he is shown in a promotional advertisement on the train to [[Ryme City]]. This Trainer is played by Japanese actor Ryoma Takeuchi.<br />
<br />
==Names==<br />
'''Red''' is the primary name used for this character in [[core series]] [[Non-player character|NPC]] appearances since [[Generation II]], as well as in {{g|Stadium 2}}, {{g|Masters EX}}, and in the game data of {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} and {{game|Emerald}}. <br />
<br />
The name '''{{Ash}}''' (Japanese: '''サトシ''' ''Satoshi''), after the protagonist of ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' and {{DL|Pokémon the Series|related media}}, is also used, particularly in early media. It is one of the [[#Optional names|optional names]] for Red in [[Generation I]] and [[Generation III]], and is used in ''[[Official Fan Book of Pocket Monsters]]''<ref group="lower-alpha">[[a:File:GameFreak 1997 fanbook MC Satoshi.jpg|Red is called '''サトシ''' ''Satoshi'' in the Official Fan Book of Pocket Monsters]]. (Nintendo Power, 1998).</ref> and ''[[Pokémon: Official Nintendo Player's Guide]]''<ref group="lower-alpha">[[a:File:Ash Gary game.png|Red and Blue called "Ash" and "Gary" in the Nintendo Power guide]]. (Nintendo Power, 1998).</ref>. In ''[[Pokémon Gold and Silver: Official Nintendo Player's Guide]]'', the name Red is mainly used, though Ash is also used at some point. In ''[[Pokémon Crystal: Official Nintendo Player's Guide]]'', some content was reused but the name "Ash" was edited out.<ref group="lower-alpha">''"Pokémon Gold & Silver also feature the world of Kanto, which '''Ash''' explored in Pokémon Red, Blue and Yellow."'' (Pokémon Gold and Silver guidebook, page 4) ''"Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal also feature the world of Kanto, which '''originally appeared''' in Pokémon Red, Blue and Yellow."'' (Pokémon Crystal guidebook, page 4)</ref><br />
<br />
Other names and terms have also been used in various languages:<br />
* The English {{game|Red and Blue|s}} manuals address the player directly as "you". <br />
* Game screenshots in the official game manuals use the names '''Blue'''{{sup/1|RB}}, '''{{Ash}}'''{{sup/1|Y}}, '''Red'''{{sup/3|FR}}, and '''Green'''{{sup/3|LG}}. <br />
* The Japanese game manuals include text that name the player based on the respective Japanese game version, '''レッド''' ''Red''{{sup/1|JR}}, '''グリーン''' ''Green''{{sup/1|G}}, '''ブルー''' ''Blue''{{sup/1|JB}}, and '''イエロー''' ''Yellow''{{sup/1|Y}}<ref group="lower-alpha">[[a:File:Yellow manual story.jpg|Image of Red named '''イエロー''' (''Yellow'') in the manual of Pokémon Yellow]].</ref>. <br />
* Japanese {{pkmn|playing cards}} use a couple different names and terms: '''レッド''' ''Red'' (Pokémon Red deck), '''グリーン''' ''Green''<ref group="lower-alpha">[[a:File:Red playing card.jpg|Image of Red named '''グリーン''' (''Green'') on a playing card from the Pokémon Green deck released in Japan]].</ref> (Pokémon Green deck), and simply '''主人公しゅじんこう''' ''player character'' (Pokémon Red, Green, Blue, and Yellow decks).<br />
* Some placeholder names are used in the game data: '''Ninten'''{{sup/1|RBY}} (Japanese: '''やまぐち''' ''Yamaguchi''{{sup/1|RG}}; '''ゲーフリ''' ''Gēfuri''{{sup/1|JB}}; ゲーフリ1 Gēfuri1{{sup/1|Y}})<br />
* '''オサム''' (''Osamu'') is used in screenshots of {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} on the official Japanese Pokémon website.<br />
* In the Spanish version of FireRed, LeafGreen, and {{game|Emerald}}, Red's placeholder name has the syllables reversed: he is known as "Joro" instead of "Rojo". <br />

'''Red''' (Japanese: '''{{j|レッド}}''' ''Red'') is the {{player|player character}} in the [[Generation I]] games [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Pokémon Red, Green]], [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Blue]], and {{v2|Yellow}} and the male choice in their [[Generation III]] remakes {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, where his female counterpart is {{ga|Leaf}}.<br />
<br />
Red is known throughout the [[Pokémon world]] as the {{pkmn|Champion}} from [[Pallet Town]], as well as a living legend for his defeat of [[Team Rocket]] in [[Kanto]] during his quest. He is the final opponent in the [[Generation II]] games {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, their [[Generation IV]] remakes {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, and {{g|Stadium 2}}. He is a participant in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]]'s [[Champions Tournament]] in {{B2W2}} and works as a boss of the [[Battle Tree]] alongside {{ga|Blue}} in the [[Generation VII]] games {{pkmn|Sun and Moon|Sun, Moon}}, {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon}}. In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], he appears as the highest-level Trainer in the game, capable of being challenged after defeating six [[Master Trainer]]s.<br />
<br />
==In the core series games==<br />
{{spoilers}}<br />
Red is introduced as a curious 11-year-old boy from [[Pallet Town]]. According to the instruction manuals of {{3v2|Red|Green|Blue}}, Red gained an interest in Pokémon after his best friend, {{ga|Blue}}, stopped playing with him and became a bully, although in the games [[Professor Oak]] says the two have been rivals since infancy. His adventure begins one day when Professor Oak calls the two to his lab for a [[first partner Pokémon]]. Red has a choice of a {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, or {{p|Squirtle}}{{sup/1|G}}{{sup/1|RB}}{{sup/3|FRLG}}. Depending on the Pokémon that Red chooses, Blue will choose the Pokémon that has a type advantage over it{{sup/1|G}}{{sup/1|RB}}{{sup/3|FRLG}}. In {{game|Yellow}}, Red was originally intended to get an {{p|Eevee}}, which was swiped by Blue. As a result, Blue keeps the Eevee and Red receives a {{OBP|Pikachu|Yellow}} that Professor Oak caught earlier{{sup/1|Y}}. Blue challenges Red to a battle immediately to test out his new Pokémon, thinking he will easily beat Red.<br />

After Red has made his way to [[Viridian City]] to the north and taken [[Parcel|a package]] back to Oak in Pallet Town, Oak gives Red and Blue each a [[Pokédex]] with which to record data on all known Pokémon in the Kanto region to fulfill Oak's dream of creating a full guide on all Pokémon in Kanto. From here, Red and Blue journey across Kanto, collecting Pokémon to build up their teams, and defeating each of the [[Gym Leader]]s in turn, with Blue always one step ahead, showing up from time to time to impede Red's progress.<br />
<br />
Red also comes across a gang of Pokémon thieves, [[Team Rocket]], several times through his journey. He first encounters them trying to steal fossils within Mt. Moon. Then he encounters a member who is running the Nugget Bridge challenge to recruit for the organization on {{rt|24|Kanto}}; and another lone member who has stolen a [[TM]] from a family in [[Cerulean City]]. Eventually, Red uncovers a plot by Team Rocket, infiltrating their [[Team Rocket Hideout|hideout]] beneath the [[Celadon Game Corner]] and encountering their boss, [[Giovanni]]. Defeating him and ousting Team Rocket from Celadon, Red uses the [[Silph Scope]] that Giovanni leaves behind to battle {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon and save [[Mr. Fuji]] in the [[Pokémon Tower]] in [[Lavender Town]], who is being held hostage by Team Rocket. Red soon journeys into Saffron City in the heart of Kanto to find it overrun by Team Rocket, who is attempting to take the recently invented [[Master Ball]] from the [[Silph Co.]] President, and defeats Giovanni again, ending the group's plots for the time being.<br />
<br />
With seven Badges in hand, Red encounters Giovanni for the final time—this time as the [[Gym Leader|Leader]] of the [[Viridian Gym]], his final obstacle before the [[Elite Four]] of [[Indigo Plateau]]. Red defeats him in battle, earning his eighth and final Badge—the {{Badge|Earth}}. He disbands Team Rocket, promising to go into solo training to become a better Trainer.<br />
<br />
Making it through {{ka|Victory Road}} and finally to Indigo Plateau, Red challenges the [[Indigo League]]. First, he defeats the Elite Four and discovers, to his surprise, that Blue has defeated them before him and is therefore the {{pkmn|Champion}} of Kanto. Red defeats Blue in the final battle, becoming the Champion himself, but then continues his training, rather than staying at Indigo Plateau. Encountering an offshoot of Team Rocket in the southern [[Sevii Islands]], lead by Executive [[Archer]], Red reveals with his Earth Badge that Giovanni has disbanded the organization, and, though defeated, the group there intends to revive Team Rocket and bring Giovanni back, having already made plans to force Pokémon to evolve with radio waves.<br />
<br />
Red continues as a wandering Trainer, eventually making his way to [[Mt. Silver Cave]], where he trains his Pokémon alone. In the process, he becomes so distant from the people close to him that he does not even talk to his mom via phone anymore.<br />
<br />
Eventually, {{ga|Ethan}}, {{ga|Kris}}, or {{ga|Lyra}} arrives at Mt. Silver Cave and challenges Red, identified only as a [[Pokémon Trainer]]. If defeated, Red vanishes from Mt. Silver, and returns every time the Elite Four is defeated again by the player of Gold, Silver, Crystal, HeartGold, or SoulSilver.<br />
<br />
In {{B2W2}}, Red is shown to finally come back into public life, as he enters the [[Champions Tournament]] of the [[Pokémon World Tournament]] in the [[Unova]] region. In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon]], {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon}}, a visibly older Red is invited to work as the boss of [[Alola]]'s [[Battle Tree]] along with Blue. When {{ga|Elio}} or {{ga|Selene}} first visits the Battle Tree, they will encounter Red and Blue and battle one of them. After Red{{sup/7|SMUSUM}} or Blue{{sup/7|USUM}} is defeated at the Battle Tree proper, Red will reward the player with a full set of Kanto first partner Pokémon [[Mega Stone]]s.<br />
<br />
Red makes an appearance in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]]. In this continuity, he and Blue completed their journeys and defeated the Elite Four years before the player character started their journey. If the player has defeated at least six [[Master Trainer]]s and has six Pokémon in their [[party]], Red can be found in front of the Pokémon League building at Indigo Plateau, where he may be challenged to a battle. Like during all Master Trainer battles, the player isn't allowed to use [[item]]s from their [[Bag]] during this battle. After being defeated, Red will grant the player the title of [[Pokémon Master|Battle Master]] before leaving, though he will reappear for a [[rematch]] each time the player defeats the Elite Four.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon===<br />
As the player character, Red can have on his team any of the 151 Pokémon available during [[Generation I]]. In [[Generation III]], he can have any of the 386 Pokémon available at that time, though only after the player has obtained the [[National Pokédex]].<br />
<br />
When he is encountered as an opponent in [[Generation II]] and [[Generation IV]], Red has a set team, based on Generation I in-game event Pokémon, and has the highest leveled trained Pokémon yet encountered in the series, with his {{TP|Red|Pikachu}} at level 81 in Generation II and at level 88 in Generation IV. In HeartGold and SoulSilver, when he is defeated, all Pokémon in the player's party receive the {{DL|List of Ribbons in the games|Legend Ribbon}}.<br />
<br />
In {{B2W2}}, he can be fought in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]]'s [[Champions Tournament]], using the same team he did in Generation IV, albeit with different movesets.<br />
<br />
In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon]], {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon}}, Red once again uses his team from Generation IV, just with altered movesets. When battled in the [[Battle Tree]] proper, Red will use a randomly selected team from a preset selection of Pokémon.<br />
<br />
In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], Red's team has notable differences to his previous [[core series]] teams, lacking {{p|Charizard}} and {{p|Blastoise}} which now appear as the highest levelled Pokémon in {{ga|Blue}} and {{ga|Green}}'s teams respectively.<br />

==In the side series games==<br />
===[[Pokémon Stadium 2]]===<br />
Red appears in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]]. He can be battled in the Kanto [[Gym Leader Castle]] after the player has defeated all eight Kanto Gym Leaders, being the final opponent the player must defeat in order to clear the Gym Leader Castle challenge.<br />
<br />
During the game's end credits, he is seen having a battle with {{ga|Blue}}.<br />
<br />
====Pokémon====<br />
Red uses vastly different sets of Pokémon than in any of his other appearances, only sharing a couple Pokémon with the teams he uses in the [[core series]]. Notably, this is the only game where he's not seen using {{TP|Red|his Pikachu|Pikachu}}. In Round 2, each of his Pokémon knows {{m|Hidden Power}}.<br />

===Pokémon Colosseum and XD: Gale of Darkness===<br />
Red makes an appearance in both [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]]. While he does not appear in the games' Story Mode, he is playable in the Battle Mode when a FireRed or LeafGreen cartridge is used, with a male player character chosen. He can take on Mt. Battle's 100-battle challenge, as well as compete in Colosseum battles.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Battle Revolution===<br />
Red made a brief appearance in the debut trailer of [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]], having a [[Double Battle]] against {{ga|Leaf}}, using a {{p|Deoxys}} in its Attack Forme and a {{p|Wailord}}. Despite this, he didn't appear in the final cut of the game.<br />
<br />
==In the spin-off games==<br />
===[[Super Smash Bros. series]]===<br />
[[File:Pokemon Trainer Brawl.png|thumb|250px|left|Red in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] with his Pokémon]]<br />
[[File:Pokemon Trainer SSBU.png|thumb|250px|Red in [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]]]<br />
====Pokémon Trainer====<br />
{{main|Pokémon Trainer (Super Smash Bros.)}}<br />
Red is known as the "Pokémon Trainer" in the [[Super Smash Bros. series]]. He has a team consisting of {{p|Squirtle}}, {{p|Ivysaur}}, and {{p|Charizard}}. Rather than fighting himself like most other characters, Red sends his three Pokémon into battle, switching between them in order.<br />
<br />
Red debuted as a playable character in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]. He was absent from [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]], the only game in the series where his {{SSB|Charizard}} is available as an individual fighter. Red returned as a playable character in [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]], and additionally {{ga|Leaf}} debuted as part of his palette swaps, sharing the same title of "Pokémon Trainer". Red is voiced by [[Michele Knotz]] and [[Billy Bob Thompson]] in the English versions of [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]] and [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate|Ultimate]] respectively, and 半場友恵 ''[[Tomoe Hanba]]'' in the Japanese versions.<br />
<br />
====Other references====<br />
* Red's hat appears as an alternate outfit worn by {{SSB|Pikachu}} from [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]] onward, possibly in specific reference to {{game|Yellow}} (which, in turn, was inspired by ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'').<br />
* In [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]], Red is featured as a trophy to represent Pokémon Trainers.<br />
<br />
===[[Pokémon GO]]===<br />
{{main|Style (GO)}}<br />
For [[Pokémon Day]] 2018, Red's outfit from {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} was released as free style option in [[Pokémon GO]].<br />
<br />
===[[Pokémon Masters EX]]===<br />
{{main|Red (Masters)}}<br />
Red, who is based on the [[player character]], forms a [[sync pair]] with {{TP|Red|Charizard}}, {{p|Snorlax}}, {{TP|Red|Pikachu}}, {{p|Articuno}}, and {{p|Venusaur}} in [[Pokémon Masters EX]]. His Charizard is capable of [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolving]] into Mega Charizard X, while his Snorlax and Pikachu are both capable of [[Gigantamax]]ing, and his Venusaur is capable of [[Dynamax]]ing. Red became a playable sync pair on February 28, 2020.<br />
<br />
In this game, Red is indirectly responsible for the creation of the [[Pokémon Masters League]], as him defeating [[Lear]] before the events of the game was what inspired Lear to create [[Pasio]] and the PML in order to get another chance at beating him. Red first appeared as an NPC during the second chapter of [[PML Arc]]. He also made notable appearances later in the PML Arc, and the [[Villain Arc]]. Unlike in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, both Red and {{mas|Leaf}} coexist in this game.<br />

==Quotes==<br />
{{main|Red (game)/Quotes}}<br />
<br />
==Optional names==<br />
When starting a new game of {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, if the player leaves the name writing screen without any written name, or with a name composed entirely of empty spaces, [[Professor Oak]] says, "Right... So your name is <optional name>", suggesting one of the 19 available names; there are 24 names in total, but there are 5 exclusive to FireRed and 5 exclusive to LeafGreen. The player may answer "Yes" to accept the suggested name, or "No" to return to the name writing screen.<br />

* {{TFG ID|Groundbreakers|Green|39}} (Japanese: グリーン ''Green'') from {{TFG|Groundbreakers}}, with green hat, shirt and shoes.<br />
* {{TFG ID|Unnamed Third Set|Yellow|42}} (Japanese: イエロー ''Yellow''), from the {{TFG|Unnamed Third Set}}, with yellow hat, shirt and shoes.<br />

==Counterparts==<br />
===In animation===<br />
====''Pokémon the Series''====<br />
{{main|Ash Ketchum}}<br />
[[File:Ash debut.png|thumb|250px|Ash Ketchum, Red's {{aniseries|PTS}} counterpart]]<br />
Red's loose [[Cross-canon counterpart|animated counterpart]], introduced in the [[EP001|first episode]], is the main character of ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'', Ash Ketchum. Like Red, Ash is from Pallet Town, on a {{pkmn|journey}} to become a Pokémon Master. Unlike Red, Ash's journey did not end with Kanto, and Ash continued through every other region introduced in the [[core series]] games until [[Galar]], as well as the [[Orange Islands]] south of Kanto, taking the place of the player characters of Generation II during [[Johto]] and Generation V during [[Unova]], and being joined by the animated series counterparts of {{ga|May}}, {{ga|Dawn}}, and {{ga|Serena}} during the Hoenn, Sinnoh, and Kalos sagas respectively. Instead of starting with one of the standard three Kanto first partner Pokémon, however, Ash began his journey with a {{AP|Pikachu}}, inspiring {{game|Yellow}}'s creation, as well as causing some to consider Red and Ash to be exactly the same person, most especially due to Red owning {{TP|Red|one|Pikachu}} as well.<br />
<br />
====''I Choose You!'' trilogy====<br />
{{main|Ash Ketchum (M20)}}<br />
Red has another animated counterpart, {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|M20|an alternate Ash Ketchum}}, who appeared in ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'', ''[[M21|The Power of Us]]'', and ''[[M23|Secrets of the Jungle]]''; these {{pkmn|movie}}s are set in a timeline separate from ''Pokémon the Series''. This Ash shares the same basic characteristics as the main Ash, but goes on a different journey compared to the character in ''Pokémon the Series''.<br />
{{-}}<br />
<br />
====Pokémon Origins====<br />
{{main|Red (Origins)}}<br />
[[File:Blaine Arcanine PO.png|thumb|left|250px|Red in [[Pokémon Origins]]]]<br />
Red also had a direct counterpart that appeared as the main character of the [[Pokémon Origins]] mini-series, which takes place in a separate continuity. This counterpart shared Red's name, in-game role, and design from FireRed and LeafGreen. The mini-series follows Red as he challenges the [[Indigo League]] and fights [[Team Rocket]] with his [[first partner Pokémon]], {{TP|Red|Charmander|Charizard}}.<br />
{{-}}<br />
<br />
====Pokémon Generations====<br />
[[File:Red PG.png|thumb|250px|Red in [[Pokémon Generations]]]]<br />
Another direct counterpart of Red appeared in [[Pokémon Generations]]. He first appeared in ''[[PG01|The Adventure]]'', where he {{pkmn2|caught}} a {{TP|Red|Pikachu}} in [[Viridian Forest]]. He then went on to experience various other adventures with his Pikachu across other regions, during which he encountered various {{pkmn2|wild}} and [[Legendary Pokémon]].<br />
<br />
Red briefly reappeared at the end of ''[[PG03|The Challenger]]'', having just defeated the [[Elite Four]] at [[Indigo Plateau]], and preparing to challenge {{ga|Blue}} for the title of the {{pkmn|Champion}}.<br />
<br />
Like the [[core series]] games, Red is not heard speaking during his appearances.<br />

==Trivia==<br />
* Red's title screen and profile front sprites from {{game|Red and Green|s}} correspond to his earlier [[Capsule Monsters]] artwork instead of his final [[Generation I]] artwork. His title screen sprite was updated in {{game|Blue| (Japanese)}} but the profile front sprite remained unchanged.<br />
** In {{game|Yellow}}, he has no title screen sprite and his front sprite is updated in part to match his official artwork and possibly in part to match [[Ash Ketchum]], his {{pkmn|animated series}} counterpart, as the frontal section of his hat has the same division in the middle as [[Ash's hat]] from the [[original series]].<br />
* Red's [[party]] in [[Generation II]], {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, {{B2W2}}, and {{game4|SMUSUM}} is based heavily on in-game events from the Generation I games and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}:<br />
** {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Venusaur}}, {{p|Blastoise}}, and {{p|Pikachu}} are the [[game mascot]]s of the four Generation I games: Pokémon Red, Green, Blue, and Yellow. They are also available in all iterations of the original [[Kanto]] plot and can all be obtained in a single save file in Pokémon Yellow;<br />
** {{p|Espeon}} could have been obtained as an {{p|Eevee}} in [[Celadon City]], and Eevee notably serves as {{ga|Blue}}'s [[first partner Pokémon]] in Pokémon Yellow;<br />
** {{p|Lapras}} is given away by a [[Silph Co.]] employee shortly before [[Team Rocket]] is defeated there;<br />
** Two {{p|Snorlax}} are required to be caught or defeated in order to travel to [[Fuchsia City]]. Furthermore, in the Generation II games and Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, only the Snorlax that was previously blocking {{rt|12|Kanto}} (now blocking the entrance to [[Diglett's Cave]]) is available to the {{player}}, suggesting that Red caught the one blocking {{rt|16|Kanto}}.<br />
*** In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, apart from his Venusaur and Blastoise being fully evolved, Red's team is identical to that of [[Ash Ketchum]] throughout most of the [[S02|Orange Islands]] arc.<br />
*** Also in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, the four game mascots all know their [[Generation III]] [[signature move]]s: Venusaur, Charizard, and Blastoise know {{m|Frenzy Plant}}, {{m|Blast Burn}} and {{m|Hydro Cannon}}, respectively, while Pikachu knows {{m|Volt Tackle}}. Furthermore, his Pikachu's moveset coincides with the four moves that [[Ash's Pikachu]] used during ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]'': Volt Tackle, {{m|Quick Attack}}, {{m|Iron Tail}}, and {{m|Thunderbolt}}.<br />
* All six of the Pokémon that Red uses in the core series from HeartGold and SoulSilver to Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon are capable of [[Gigantamax]] in Sword and Shield.<br />
* In HeartGold and SoulSilver, Red's [[level]] 88 [[Red's Pikachu|Pikachu]] is the highest-leveled Pokémon owned by a non-player character outside of [[Battle facility|battle facilities]], tied with [[Cynthia's Garchomp]] during the second [[rematch]] in {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}.<br />
** However, the level of several NPCs' Pokémon in {{4v|Black|White}} are variable and can exceed that of the two, depending on the level of the Pokémon that is [[in-game trade#Generation V|traded]] to them.<br />
* When Red is encountered at the summit of Mt. Silver during Generation II and Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, he has no speech, merely repeating sets of {{wp|ellipsis|ellipses}} <!--2 sets of regular 3-dot ellipses in English GSC and 2 sets of 18-dot ellipses in English HGSS; 10 sets (GSC)/6 sets (HGSS) sets of 2 midline horizontal ellipses each in the Japanese versions--> before beginning the {{pkmn|battle}}. This is a reference to his silent role in [[Generation I]], as he only answered choice questions like <sc>Yes</sc> or <sc>No</sc>. This unique characteristic remains in later [[generation]]s.<br />
** In FireRed and LeafGreen, {{ga|Blue}} sarcastically calls him a "chatty gossip".<br />
*** Blue also jokes about this in Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon.<br />
** Despite this, {{DL|Copycat (character)|Quotes|dialogue that ensues}} when talking to {{OBP|Copycat|character}} in Generation I and FireRed and LeafGreen implies that Red is speaking.<br />
*** Also, only in the Spanish version of HeartGold and SoulSilver, the line "<Trainer> used one <item>!" for opponents using items in battle was localized as "<Trainer>: ¡Voy a usar <item>!" ("<Trainer>: I'm going to use <item>!"), thus causing Red to speak when using an item in battle.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5F1hpXj3f-Q</ref><br />
*** In [[Pokémon Masters EX]], while primarily silent, {{mas|Red}} has {{DL|Red (game)/Quotes|Pokémon Masters EX|several spoken lines of dialogue}}.<br />
* Much like there is minimal information on his {{Ash|animated series counterpart}}'s father, Red's father is mentioned only briefly when examining an {{wp|Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES}} at the [[Celadon Department Store]] in the Generation I games and FireRed and LeafGreen.<br />
* In HeartGold and SoulSilver, Red is the only {{pkmn|Trainer}} who uses the {{pkmn|battle}} transition effect from Generation II.<br />
* All of his animation and manga counterparts also have owned a Pikachu, with {{Zensho|Satoshi}} from Pokémon Zensho being the only one who evolved his one into a {{p|Raichu}}.<br />
* Along with Blue, [[Lance]], and the Generation I and III Kanto [[Gym Leader]]s (excluding [[Giovanni]] and [[Koga]]), Red has appeared in almost every [[generation]] of the [[Pokémon games]], with six out of nine so far. He is the only protagonist with this feat.<br />
* Red and Lance share the same unique {{pkmn|Champion}} battle music in [[Johto]]-based games and Pokémon Black 2 and White 2's [[Champions Tournament]].<br />
* Red's T-shirt in Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon bears the number 96, referencing the original Japanese release year of Pokémon Red and Green.<br />
* Red is the only protagonist to be battled, as an NPC, outside of the generation he was introduced in.<br />
* A Trainer closely resembling an older Red briefly appears in {{DetPikMov}}, where he is shown in a promotional advertisement on the train to [[Ryme City]]. This Trainer is played by Japanese actor Ryoma Takeuchi.<br />

==Names==<br />
[[File:GameFreak 1997 fanbook MC Satoshi.jpg|thumb|200px|Scan from the ''[[Official Fan Book of Pocket Monsters]]'' in which Red is called '''サトシ''' ''Satoshi'']]<br />
[[File:Ash Gary game.png|thumb|200px|Scan from the ''[[Pokémon: Official Nintendo Player's Guide]]'' in which Red is called ''Ash'']]<br />
[[File:(Nintendo Power 2000) - Pokemon Gold & Silver Ash and Red.jpg|thumb|200px|Scan from the ''[[Pokémon Gold and Silver: Official Nintendo Player's Guide]]'' in which Red is called ''Ash'']]<br />
<br />
'''Red''' is the primary name used for this character in [[core series]] [[Non-player character|NPC]] appearances since [[Generation II]], as well as in {{g|Stadium 2}}, {{g|Masters EX}}, and in the game data of {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} and {{game|Emerald}}. <br />
<br />
The name '''{{Ash}}''' (Japanese: '''サトシ''' ''Satoshi''), after the protagonist of ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' and {{DL|Pokémon the Series|related media}}, is also used, particularly in early media. It is one of the [[#Optional names|optional names]] for Red in [[Generation I]] and is used in ''[[Official Fan Book of Pocket Monsters]]''<ref group="lower-alpha">[[a:File:GameFreak 1997 fanbook MC Satoshi.jpg|Red is called '''サトシ''' ''Satoshi'' in the Official Fan Book of Pocket Monsters]]. (Nintendo Power, 1998).</ref> and ''[[Pokémon: Official Nintendo Player's Guide]]''<ref group="lower-alpha">[[a:File:Ash Gary game.png|Red and Blue called "Ash" and "Gary" in the Nintendo Power guide]]. (Nintendo Power, 1998).</ref>. In ''[[Pokémon Gold and Silver: Official Nintendo Player's Guide]]'', the name Red is mainly used, though Ash is also used at some point. In ''[[Pokémon Crystal: Official Nintendo Player's Guide]]'', some content was reused but the name "Ash" was edited out.<ref group="lower-alpha">''"Pokémon Gold & Silver also feature the world of Kanto, which '''Ash''' explored in Pokémon Red, Blue and Yellow."'' (Pokémon Gold and Silver guidebook, page 4) ''"Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal also feature the world of Kanto, which '''originally appeared''' in Pokémon Red, Blue and Yellow."'' (Pokémon Crystal guidebook, page 4)</ref><br />
<br />
Other names and terms have also been used in various languages:<br />
* The English {{game|Red and Blue|s}} manuals address the player directly as "you". <br />
* Game screenshots in the official game manuals use the names '''Blue'''{{sup/1|RB}}, '''{{Ash}}'''{{sup/1|Y}}, '''Red'''{{sup/3|FR}}, and '''Green'''{{sup/3|LG}}. <br />
* The Japanese game manuals include text that name the player based on the respective Japanese game version, '''レッド''' ''Red''{{sup/1|JR}}, '''グリーン''' ''Green''{{sup/1|G}}, '''ブルー''' ''Blue''{{sup/1|JB}}, and '''イエロー''' ''Yellow''{{sup/1|Y}}<ref group="lower-alpha">[[a:File:Yellow manual story.jpg|Image of Red named '''イエロー''' (''Yellow'') in the manual of Pokémon Yellow]].</ref>. <br />
* Japanese {{pkmn|playing cards}} use a couple different names and terms: '''レッド''' ''Red'' (Pokémon Red deck), '''グリーン''' ''Green''<ref group="lower-alpha">[[a:File:Red playing card.jpg|Image of Red named '''グリーン''' (''Green'') on a playing card from the Pokémon Green deck released in Japan]].</ref> (Pokémon Green deck), and simply '''主人公しゅじんこう''' ''player character'' (Pokémon Red, Green, Blue, and Yellow decks).<br />
* Some placeholder names are used in the game data: '''Ninten'''{{sup/1|RBY}} (Japanese: '''やまぐち''' ''Yamaguchi''{{sup/1|RG}}; '''ゲーフリ''' ''Gēfuri''{{sup/1|JB}}; ゲーフリ1 Gēfuri1{{sup/1|Y}})<br />
* '''オサム''' (''Osamu'') is used in screenshots of {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} on the official Japanese Pokémon website.<br />
* In the Spanish version of FireRed, LeafGreen, and {{game|Emerald}}, Red's placeholder name has the syllables reversed: he is known as "Joro" instead of "Rojo". <br />

'''Red''' (Japanese: '''{{j|レッド}}''' ''Red'') is the {{player|player character}} in the [[Generation I]] games [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Pokémon Red, Green]], [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Blue]], and {{v2|Yellow}} and the male choice in their [[Generation III]] remakes {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, where his female counterpart is {{ga|Leaf}}.<br />
<br />
Red is known throughout the [[Pokémon world]] as the {{pkmn|Champion}} from [[Pallet Town]], as well as a living legend for his defeat of [[Team Rocket]] in [[Kanto]] during his quest. He is the final opponent in the [[Generation II]] games {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, their [[Generation IV]] remakes {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, and {{g|Stadium 2}}. He is a participant in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]]'s [[Champions Tournament]] in {{B2W2}} and works as a boss of the [[Battle Tree]] alongside {{ga|Blue}} in the [[Generation VII]] games {{pkmn|Sun and Moon|Sun, Moon}}, {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon}}. In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], he appears as the highest-level Trainer in the game, capable of being challenged after defeating six [[Master Trainer]]s.<br />
<br />
==In the core series games==<br />
{{spoilers}}<br />
Red is introduced as a curious 11-year-old boy from [[Pallet Town]]. According to the instruction manuals of {{3v2|Red|Green|Blue}}, Red gained an interest in Pokémon after his best friend, {{ga|Blue}}, stopped playing with him and became a bully, although in the games [[Professor Oak]] says the two have been rivals since infancy. His adventure begins one day when Professor Oak calls the two to his lab for a [[first partner Pokémon]]. Red has a choice of a {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, or {{p|Squirtle}}{{sup/1|G}}{{sup/1|RB}}{{sup/3|FRLG}}. Depending on the Pokémon that Red chooses, Blue will choose the Pokémon that has a type advantage over it{{sup/1|G}}{{sup/1|RB}}{{sup/3|FRLG}}. In {{game|Yellow}}, Red was originally intended to get an {{p|Eevee}}, which was swiped by Blue. As a result, Blue keeps the Eevee and Red receives a {{OBP|Pikachu|Yellow}} that Professor Oak caught earlier{{sup/1|Y}}. Blue challenges Red to a battle immediately to test out his new Pokémon, thinking he will easily beat Red.<br />
<br />
After Red has made his way to [[Viridian City]] to the north and taken [[Parcel|a package]] back to Oak in Pallet Town, Oak gives Red and Blue each a [[Pokédex]] with which to record data on all known Pokémon in the Kanto region to fulfill Oak's dream of creating a full guide on all Pokémon in Kanto. From here, Red and Blue journey across Kanto, collecting Pokémon to build up their teams, and defeating each of the [[Gym Leader]]s in turn, with Blue always one step ahead, showing up from time to time to impede Red's progress.<br />
<br />
Red also comes across a gang of Pokémon thieves, [[Team Rocket]], several times through his journey. He first encounters them trying to steal fossils within Mt. Moon. Then he encounters a member who is running the Nugget Bridge challenge to recruit for the organization on {{rt|24|Kanto}}; and another lone member who has stolen a [[TM]] from a family in [[Cerulean City]]. Eventually, Red uncovers a plot by Team Rocket, infiltrating their [[Team Rocket Hideout|hideout]] beneath the [[Celadon Game Corner]] and encountering their boss, [[Giovanni]]. Defeating him and ousting Team Rocket from Celadon, Red uses the [[Silph Scope]] that Giovanni leaves behind to battle {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon and save [[Mr. Fuji]] in the [[Pokémon Tower]] in [[Lavender Town]], who is being held hostage by Team Rocket. Red soon journeys into Saffron City in the heart of Kanto to find it overrun by Team Rocket, who is attempting to take the recently invented [[Master Ball]] from the [[Silph Co.]] President, and defeats Giovanni again, ending the group's plots for the time being.<br />
<br />
With seven Badges in hand, Red encounters Giovanni for the final time—this time as the [[Gym Leader|Leader]] of the [[Viridian Gym]], his final obstacle before the [[Elite Four]] of [[Indigo Plateau]]. Red defeats him in battle, earning his eighth and final Badge—the {{Badge|Earth}}. He disbands Team Rocket, promising to go into solo training to become a better Trainer.<br />
<br />
Making it through {{ka|Victory Road}} and finally to Indigo Plateau, Red challenges the [[Indigo League]]. First, he defeats the Elite Four and discovers, to his surprise, that Blue has defeated them before him and is therefore the {{pkmn|Champion}} of Kanto. Red defeats Blue in the final battle, becoming the Champion himself, but then continues his training, rather than staying at Indigo Plateau. Encountering an offshoot of Team Rocket in the southern [[Sevii Islands]], lead by Executive [[Archer]], Red reveals with his Earth Badge that Giovanni has disbanded the organization, and, though defeated, the group there intends to revive Team Rocket and bring Giovanni back, having already made plans to force Pokémon to evolve with radio waves.<br />
<br />
Red continues as a wandering Trainer, eventually making his way to [[Mt. Silver Cave]], where he trains his Pokémon alone. In the process, he becomes so distant from the people close to him that he does not even talk to his mom via phone anymore.<br />
<br />
Eventually, {{ga|Ethan}}, {{ga|Kris}}, or {{ga|Lyra}} arrives at Mt. Silver Cave and challenges Red, identified only as a [[Pokémon Trainer]]. If defeated, Red vanishes from Mt. Silver, and returns every time the Elite Four is defeated again by the player of Gold, Silver, Crystal, HeartGold, or SoulSilver.<br />
<br />
In {{B2W2}}, Red is shown to finally come back into public life, as he enters the [[Champions Tournament]] of the [[Pokémon World Tournament]] in the [[Unova]] region. In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon]], {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon}}, a visibly older Red is invited to work as the boss of [[Alola]]'s [[Battle Tree]] along with Blue. When {{ga|Elio}} or {{ga|Selene}} first visits the Battle Tree, they will encounter Red and Blue and battle one of them. After Red{{sup/7|SMUSUM}} or Blue{{sup/7|USUM}} is defeated at the Battle Tree proper, Red will reward the player with a full set of Kanto first partner Pokémon [[Mega Stone]]s.<br />
<br />
Red makes an appearance in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]]. In this continuity, he and Blue completed their journeys and defeated the Elite Four years before the player character started their journey. If the player has defeated at least six [[Master Trainer]]s and has six Pokémon in their [[party]], Red can be found in front of the Pokémon League building at Indigo Plateau, where he may be challenged to a battle. Like during all Master Trainer battles, the player isn't allowed to use [[item]]s from their [[Bag]] during this battle. After being defeated, Red will grant the player the title of [[Pokémon Master|Battle Master]] before leaving, though he will reappear for a [[rematch]] each time the player defeats the Elite Four.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon===<br />
As the player character, Red can have on his team any of the 151 Pokémon available during [[Generation I]]. In [[Generation III]], he can have any of the 386 Pokémon available at that time, though only after the player has obtained the [[National Pokédex]].<br />
<br />
When he is encountered as an opponent in [[Generation II]] and [[Generation IV]], Red has a set team, based on Generation I in-game event Pokémon, and has the highest leveled trained Pokémon yet encountered in the series, with his {{TP|Red|Pikachu}} at level 81 in Generation II and at level 88 in Generation IV. In HeartGold and SoulSilver, when he is defeated, all Pokémon in the player's party receive the {{DL|List of Ribbons in the games|Legend Ribbon}}.<br />
<br />
In {{B2W2}}, he can be fought in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]]'s [[Champions Tournament]], using the same team he did in Generation IV, albeit with different movesets.<br />
<br />
In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon]], {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon}}, Red once again uses his team from Generation IV, just with altered movesets. When battled in the [[Battle Tree]] proper, Red will use a randomly selected team from a preset selection of Pokémon.<br />
<br />
In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], Red's team has notable differences to his previous [[core series]] teams, lacking {{p|Charizard}} and {{p|Blastoise}} which now appear as the highest levelled Pokémon in {{ga|Blue}} and {{ga|Green}}'s teams respectively.<br />

==In the side series games==<br />
===[[Pokémon Stadium 2]]===<br />
Red appears in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]]. He can be battled in the Kanto [[Gym Leader Castle]] after the player has defeated all eight Kanto Gym Leaders, being the final opponent the player must defeat in order to clear the Gym Leader Castle challenge.<br />
<br />
During the game's end credits, he is seen having a battle with {{ga|Blue}}.<br />
<br />
====Pokémon====<br />
Red uses vastly different sets of Pokémon than in any of his other appearances, only sharing a couple Pokémon with the teams he uses in the [[core series]]. Notably, this is the only game where he's not seen using {{TP|Red|his Pikachu|Pikachu}}. In Round 2, each of his Pokémon knows {{m|Hidden Power}}.<br />

===Pokémon Colosseum and XD: Gale of Darkness===<br />
Red makes an appearance in both [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]]. While he does not appear in the games' Story Mode, he is playable in the Battle Mode when a FireRed or LeafGreen cartridge is used, with a male player character chosen. He can take on Mt. Battle's 100-battle challenge, as well as compete in Colosseum battles.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Battle Revolution===<br />
Red made a brief appearance in the debut trailer of [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]], having a [[Double Battle]] against {{ga|Leaf}}, using a {{p|Deoxys}} in its Attack Forme and a {{p|Wailord}}. Despite this, he didn't appear in the final cut of the game.<br />
<br />
==In the spin-off games==<br />
===[[Super Smash Bros. series]]===<br />
[[File:Pokemon Trainer Brawl.png|thumb|250px|left|Red in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] with his Pokémon]]<br />
[[File:Pokemon Trainer SSBU.png|thumb|250px|Red in [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]]]<br />
====Pokémon Trainer====<br />
{{main|Pokémon Trainer (Super Smash Bros.)}}<br />
Red is known as the "Pokémon Trainer" in the [[Super Smash Bros. series]]. He has a team consisting of {{p|Squirtle}}, {{p|Ivysaur}}, and {{p|Charizard}}. Rather than fighting himself like most other characters, Red sends his three Pokémon into battle, switching between them in order.<br />
<br />
Red debuted as a playable character in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]. He was absent from [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]], the only game in the series where his {{SSB|Charizard}} is available as an individual fighter. Red returned as a playable character in [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]], and additionally {{ga|Leaf}} debuted as part of his palette swaps, sharing the same title of "Pokémon Trainer". Red is voiced by [[Michele Knotz]] and [[Billy Bob Thompson]] in the English versions of [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]] and [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate|Ultimate]] respectively, and 半場友恵 ''[[Tomoe Hanba]]'' in the Japanese versions.<br />
<br />
====Other references====<br />
* Red's hat appears as an alternate outfit worn by {{SSB|Pikachu}} from [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]] onward, possibly in specific reference to {{game|Yellow}} (which, in turn, was inspired by ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'').<br />
* In [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]], Red is featured as a trophy to represent Pokémon Trainers.<br />
<br />
===[[Pokémon GO]]===<br />
{{main|Style (GO)}}<br />
For [[Pokémon Day]] 2018, Red's outfit from {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} was released as free style option in [[Pokémon GO]].<br />
<br />
===[[Pokémon Masters EX]]===<br />
{{main|Red (Masters)}}<br />
Red, who is based on the [[player character]], forms a [[sync pair]] with {{TP|Red|Charizard}}, {{p|Snorlax}}, {{TP|Red|Pikachu}}, {{p|Articuno}}, and {{p|Venusaur}} in [[Pokémon Masters EX]]. His Charizard is capable of [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolving]] into Mega Charizard X, while his Snorlax and Pikachu are both capable of [[Gigantamax]]ing, and his Venusaur is capable of [[Dynamax]]ing. Red became a playable sync pair on February 28, 2020.<br />
<br />
In this game, Red is indirectly responsible for the creation of the [[Pokémon Masters League]], as him defeating [[Lear]] before the events of the game was what inspired Lear to create [[Pasio]] and the PML in order to get another chance at beating him. Red first appeared as an NPC during the second chapter of [[PML Arc]]. He also made notable appearances later in the PML Arc, and the [[Villain Arc]]. Unlike in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, both Red and {{mas|Leaf}} coexist in this game.<br />

==Optional names==<br />
When starting a new game of {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, if the player leaves the name writing screen without any written name, or with a name composed entirely of empty spaces, [[Professor Oak]] says, "Right... So your name is <optional name>", suggesting one of the 19 available names; there are 24 names in total, but there are 5 exclusive to FireRed and 5 exclusive to LeafGreen. The player may answer "Yes" to accept the suggested name, or "No" to return to the name writing screen.<br />

==In the TFG==<br />
There are three {{TFG|Trainer figure|Trainer figures}} based on Red with his design from {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, except with different names and colors.<br />
<br />
* {{TFG ID|Next Quest|Red|42}} (Japanese: レッド ''Red'') from {{TFG|Next Quest}}, wearing his usual red clothes.<br />
* {{TFG ID|Groundbreakers|Green|39}} (Japanese: グリーン ''Green'') from {{TFG|Groundbreakers}}, with green hat, shirt and shoes.<br />
* {{TFG ID|Unnamed Third Set|Yellow|42}} (Japanese: イエロー ''Yellow''), from the {{TFG|Unnamed Third Set}}, with yellow hat, shirt and shoes.<br />
<br />
The Red figure is part of the single released set, Next Quest. The other two sets were not released, so the Green and Yellow figures were not released either.<br />

==Counterparts==<br />
===In animation===<br />
====''Pokémon the Series''====<br />
{{main|Ash Ketchum}}<br />
[[File:Ash debut.png|thumb|250px|Ash Ketchum, Red's {{aniseries|PTS}} counterpart]]<br />
Red's loose [[Cross-canon counterpart|animated counterpart]], introduced in the [[EP001|first episode]], is the main character of ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'', Ash Ketchum. Like Red, Ash is from Pallet Town, on a {{pkmn|journey}} to become a Pokémon Master. Unlike Red, Ash's journey did not end with Kanto, and Ash continued through every other region introduced in the [[core series]] games until [[Galar]], as well as the [[Orange Islands]] south of Kanto, taking the place of the player characters of Generation II during [[Johto]] and Generation V during [[Unova]], and being joined by the animated series counterparts of {{ga|May}}, {{ga|Dawn}}, and {{ga|Serena}} during the Hoenn, Sinnoh, and Kalos sagas respectively. Instead of starting with one of the standard three Kanto first partner Pokémon, however, Ash began his journey with a {{AP|Pikachu}}, inspiring {{game|Yellow}}'s creation, as well as causing some to consider Red and Ash to be exactly the same person, most especially due to Red owning {{TP|Red|one|Pikachu}} as well.<br />
<br />
====''I Choose You!'' trilogy====<br />
{{main|Ash Ketchum (M20)}}<br />
Red has another animated counterpart, {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|M20|an alternate Ash Ketchum}}, who appeared in ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'', ''[[M21|The Power of Us]]'', and ''[[M23|Secrets of the Jungle]]''; these {{pkmn|movie}}s are set in a timeline separate from ''Pokémon the Series''. This Ash shares the same basic characteristics as the main Ash, but goes on a different journey compared to the character in ''Pokémon the Series''.<br />
{{-}}<br />
<br />
====Pokémon Origins====<br />
{{main|Red (Origins)}}<br />
[[File:Blaine Arcanine PO.png|thumb|left|250px|Red in [[Pokémon Origins]]]]<br />
Red also had a direct counterpart that appeared as the main character of the [[Pokémon Origins]] mini-series, which takes place in a separate continuity. This counterpart shared Red's name, in-game role, and design from FireRed and LeafGreen. The mini-series follows Red as he challenges the [[Indigo League]] and fights [[Team Rocket]] with his [[first partner Pokémon]], {{TP|Red|Charmander|Charizard}}.<br />
{{-}}<br />
<br />
====Pokémon Generations====<br />
[[File:Red PG.png|thumb|250px|Red in [[Pokémon Generations]]]]<br />
Another direct counterpart of Red appeared in [[Pokémon Generations]]. He first appeared in ''[[PG01|The Adventure]]'', where he {{pkmn2|caught}} a {{TP|Red|Pikachu}} in [[Viridian Forest]]. He then went on to experience various other adventures with his Pikachu across other regions, during which he encountered various {{pkmn2|wild}} and [[Legendary Pokémon]].<br />
<br />
Red briefly reappeared at the end of ''[[PG03|The Challenger]]'', having just defeated the [[Elite Four]] at [[Indigo Plateau]], and preparing to challenge {{ga|Blue}} for the title of the {{pkmn|Champion}}.<br />
<br />
Like the [[core series]] games, Red is not heard speaking during his appearances.<br />

==Trivia==<br />
* Red's title screen and profile front sprites from {{game|Red and Green|s}} correspond to his earlier [[Capsule Monsters]] artwork instead of his final [[Generation I]] artwork. His title screen sprite was updated in {{game|Blue| (Japanese)}} but the profile front sprite remained unchanged.<br />
** In {{game|Yellow}}, he has no title screen sprite and his front sprite is updated in part to match his official artwork and possibly in part to match [[Ash Ketchum]], his {{pkmn|animated series}} counterpart, as the frontal section of his hat has the same division in the middle as [[Ash's hat]] from the [[original series]].<br />
* Red's [[party]] in [[Generation II]], {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, {{B2W2}}, and {{game4|SMUSUM}} is based heavily on in-game events from the Generation I games and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}:<br />
** {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Venusaur}}, {{p|Blastoise}}, and {{p|Pikachu}} are the [[game mascot]]s of the four Generation I games: Pokémon Red, Green, Blue, and Yellow. They are also available in all iterations of the original [[Kanto]] plot and can all be obtained in a single save file in Pokémon Yellow;<br />
** {{p|Espeon}} could have been obtained as an {{p|Eevee}} in [[Celadon City]], and Eevee notably serves as {{ga|Blue}}'s [[first partner Pokémon]] in Pokémon Yellow;<br />
** {{p|Lapras}} is given away by a [[Silph Co.]] employee shortly before [[Team Rocket]] is defeated there;<br />
** Two {{p|Snorlax}} are required to be caught or defeated in order to travel to [[Fuchsia City]]. Furthermore, in the Generation II games and Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, only the Snorlax that was previously blocking {{rt|12|Kanto}} (now blocking the entrance to [[Diglett's Cave]]) is available to the {{player}}, suggesting that Red caught the one blocking {{rt|16|Kanto}}.<br />
*** In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, apart from his Venusaur and Blastoise being fully evolved, Red's team is identical to that of [[Ash Ketchum]] throughout most of the [[S02|Orange Islands]] arc.<br />
*** Also in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, the four game mascots all know their [[Generation III]] [[signature move]]s: Venusaur, Charizard, and Blastoise know {{m|Frenzy Plant}}, {{m|Blast Burn}} and {{m|Hydro Cannon}}, respectively, while Pikachu knows {{m|Volt Tackle}}. Furthermore, his Pikachu's moveset coincides with the four moves that [[Ash's Pikachu]] used during ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]'': Volt Tackle, {{m|Quick Attack}}, {{m|Iron Tail}}, and {{m|Thunderbolt}}.<br />
* All six of the Pokémon that Red uses in the core series from HeartGold and SoulSilver to Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon are capable of [[Gigantamax]] in Sword and Shield.<br />
* In HeartGold and SoulSilver, Red's [[level]] 88 [[Red's Pikachu|Pikachu]] is the highest-leveled Pokémon owned by a non-player character outside of [[Battle facility|battle facilities]], tied with [[Cynthia's Garchomp]] during the second [[rematch]] in {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}.<br />
** However, the level of several NPCs' Pokémon in {{4v|Black|White}} are variable and can exceed that of the two, depending on the level of the Pokémon that is [[in-game trade#Generation V|traded]] to them.<br />
* When Red is encountered at the summit of Mt. Silver during Generation II and Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, he has no speech, merely repeating sets of {{wp|ellipsis|ellipses}} <!--2 sets of regular 3-dot ellipses in English GSC and 2 sets of 18-dot ellipses in English HGSS; 10 sets (GSC)/6 sets (HGSS) sets of 2 midline horizontal ellipses each in the Japanese versions--> before beginning the {{pkmn|battle}}. This is a reference to his silent role in [[Generation I]], as he only answered choice questions like <sc>Yes</sc> or <sc>No</sc>. This unique characteristic remains in later [[generation]]s.<br />
** In FireRed and LeafGreen, {{ga|Blue}} sarcastically calls him a "chatty gossip".<br />
*** Blue also jokes about this in Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon.<br />
** Despite this, {{DL|Copycat (character)|Quotes|dialogue that ensues}} when talking to {{OBP|Copycat|character}} in Generation I and FireRed and LeafGreen implies that Red is speaking.<br />
*** Also, only in the Spanish version of HeartGold and SoulSilver, the line "<Trainer> used one <item>!" for opponents using items in battle was localized as "<Trainer>: ¡Voy a usar <item>!" ("<Trainer>: I'm going to use <item>!"), thus causing Red to speak when using an item in battle.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5F1hpXj3f-Q</ref><br />
*** In [[Pokémon Masters EX]], while primarily silent, {{mas|Red}} has {{DL|Red (game)/Quotes|Pokémon Masters EX|several spoken lines of dialogue}}.<br />
* Much like there is minimal information on his {{Ash|animated series counterpart}}'s father, Red's father is mentioned only briefly when examining an {{wp|Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES}} at the [[Celadon Department Store]] in the Generation I games and FireRed and LeafGreen.<br />
* In HeartGold and SoulSilver, Red is the only {{pkmn|Trainer}} who uses the {{pkmn|battle}} transition effect from Generation II.<br />
* All of his animation and manga counterparts also have owned a Pikachu, with {{Zensho|Satoshi}} from Pokémon Zensho being the only one who evolved his one into a {{p|Raichu}}.<br />
* Along with Blue, [[Lance]], and the Generation I and III Kanto [[Gym Leader]]s (excluding [[Giovanni]] and [[Koga]]), Red has appeared in almost every [[generation]] of the [[Pokémon games]], with six out of nine so far. He is the only protagonist with this feat.<br />
* Red and Lance share the same unique {{pkmn|Champion}} battle music in [[Johto]]-based games and Pokémon Black 2 and White 2's [[Champions Tournament]].<br />
* Red's T-shirt in Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon bears the number 96, referencing the original Japanese release year of Pokémon Red and Green.<br />
* Red is the only protagonist to be battled, as an NPC, outside of the generation he was introduced in.<br />
* A Trainer closely resembling an older Red briefly appears in {{DetPikMov}}, where he is shown in a promotional advertisement on the train to [[Ryme City]]. This Trainer is played by Japanese actor Ryoma Takeuchi.<br />
<br />
==Names==<br />

<br />
'''Red''' is the primary name used for this character in [[core series]] [[Non-player character|NPC]] appearances since [[Generation II]], as well as in {{g|Stadium 2}}, {{g|Masters EX}}, and in the game data of {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} and {{game|Emerald}}. <br />
<br />
The name '''{{Ash}}''' (Japanese: '''サトシ''' ''Satoshi''), after the protagonist of ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' and {{DL|Pokémon the Series|related media}}, is also used, particularly in early media. It is one of the [[#Optional names|optional names]] for Red in [[Generation I]] and is used in ''[[Official Fan Book of Pocket Monsters]]''<ref group="lower-alpha">[[a:File:GameFreak 1997 fanbook MC Satoshi.jpg|Red is called '''サトシ''' ''Satoshi'' in the Official Fan Book of Pocket Monsters]]. (Nintendo Power, 1998).</ref> and ''[[Pokémon: Official Nintendo Player's Guide]]''<ref group="lower-alpha">[[a:File:Ash Gary game.png|Red and Blue called "Ash" and "Gary" in the Nintendo Power guide]]. (Nintendo Power, 1998).</ref>. In ''[[Pokémon Gold and Silver: Official Nintendo Player's Guide]]'', the name Red is mainly used, though Ash is also used at some point. In ''[[Pokémon Crystal: Official Nintendo Player's Guide]]'', some content was reused but the name "Ash" was edited out.<ref group="lower-alpha">''"Pokémon Gold & Silver also feature the world of Kanto, which '''Ash''' explored in Pokémon Red, Blue and Yellow."'' (Pokémon Gold and Silver guidebook, page 4) ''"Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal also feature the world of Kanto, which '''originally appeared''' in Pokémon Red, Blue and Yellow."'' (Pokémon Crystal guidebook, page 4)</ref><br />
<br />
Other names and terms have also been used in various languages:<br />
* The English {{game|Red and Blue|s}} manuals address the player directly as "you". <br />
* Game screenshots in the official game manuals use the names '''Blue'''{{sup/1|RB}}, '''{{Ash}}'''{{sup/1|Y}}, '''Red'''{{sup/3|FR}}, and '''Green'''{{sup/3|LG}}. <br />
* The Japanese game manuals include text that name the player based on the respective Japanese game version, '''レッド''' ''Red''{{sup/1|JR}}, '''グリーン''' ''Green''{{sup/1|G}}, '''ブルー''' ''Blue''{{sup/1|JB}}, and '''イエロー''' ''Yellow''{{sup/1|Y}}<ref group="lower-alpha">[[a:File:Yellow manual story.jpg|Image of Red named '''イエロー''' (''Yellow'') in the manual of Pokémon Yellow]].</ref>. <br />
* Japanese {{pkmn|playing cards}} use a couple different names and terms: '''レッド''' ''Red'' (Pokémon Red deck), '''グリーン''' ''Green''<ref group="lower-alpha">[[a:File:Red playing card.jpg|Image of Red named '''グリーン''' (''Green'') on a playing card from the Pokémon Green deck released in Japan]].</ref> (Pokémon Green deck), and simply '''主人公しゅじんこう''' ''player character'' (Pokémon Red, Green, Blue, and Yellow decks).<br />
* Some placeholder names are used in the game data: '''Ninten'''{{sup/1|RBY}} (Japanese: '''やまぐち''' ''Yamaguchi''{{sup/1|RG}}; '''ゲーフリ''' ''Gēfuri''{{sup/1|JB}}; ゲーフリ1 Gēfuri1{{sup/1|Y}})<br />
* '''オサム''' (''Osamu'') is used in screenshots of {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} on the official Japanese Pokémon website.<br />
* In the Spanish version of FireRed, LeafGreen, and {{game|Emerald}}, Red's placeholder name has the syllables reversed: he is known as "Joro" instead of "Rojo". <br />

'''Red''' (Japanese: '''{{j|レッド}}''' ''Red'') is the {{player|player character}} in the [[Generation I]] games [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Pokémon Red, Green]], [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Blue]], and {{v2|Yellow}} and the male choice in their [[Generation III]] remakes {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, where his female counterpart is {{ga|Leaf}}.<br />
<br />
Red is known throughout the [[Pokémon world]] as the {{pkmn|Champion}} from [[Pallet Town]], as well as a living legend for his defeat of [[Team Rocket]] in [[Kanto]] during his quest. He is the final opponent in the [[Generation II]] games {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, their [[Generation IV]] remakes {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, and {{g|Stadium 2}}. He is a participant in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]]'s [[Champions Tournament]] in {{B2W2}} and works as a boss of the [[Battle Tree]] alongside {{ga|Blue}} in the [[Generation VII]] games {{pkmn|Sun and Moon|Sun, Moon}}, {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon}}. In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], he appears as the highest-level Trainer in the game, capable of being challenged after defeating six [[Master Trainer]]s.<br />
<br />
==In the core series games==<br />
{{spoilers}}<br />
Red is introduced as a curious 11-year-old boy from [[Pallet Town]]. According to the instruction manuals of {{3v2|Red|Green|Blue}}, Red gained an interest in Pokémon after his best friend, {{ga|Blue}}, stopped playing with him and became a bully, although in the games [[Professor Oak]] says the two have been rivals since infancy. His adventure begins one day when Professor Oak calls the two to his lab for a [[first partner Pokémon]]. Red has a choice of a {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, or {{p|Squirtle}}{{sup/1|G}}{{sup/1|RB}}{{sup/3|FRLG}}. Depending on the Pokémon that Red chooses, Blue will choose the Pokémon that has a type advantage over it{{sup/1|G}}{{sup/1|RB}}{{sup/3|FRLG}}. In {{game|Yellow}}, Red was originally intended to get an {{p|Eevee}}, which was swiped by Blue. As a result, Blue keeps the Eevee and Red receives a {{OBP|Pikachu|Yellow}} that Professor Oak caught earlier{{sup/1|Y}}. Blue challenges Red to a battle immediately to test out his new Pokémon, thinking he will easily beat Red.<br />
<br />
After Red has made his way to [[Viridian City]] to the north and taken [[Parcel|a package]] back to Oak in Pallet Town, Oak gives Red and Blue each a [[Pokédex]] with which to record data on all known Pokémon in the Kanto region to fulfill Oak's dream of creating a full guide on all Pokémon in Kanto. From here, Red and Blue journey across Kanto, collecting Pokémon to build up their teams, and defeating each of the [[Gym Leader]]s in turn, with Blue always one step ahead, showing up from time to time to impede Red's progress.<br />
<br />
Red also comes across a gang of Pokémon thieves, [[Team Rocket]], several times through his journey. He first encounters them trying to steal fossils within Mt. Moon. Then he encounters a member who is running the Nugget Bridge challenge to recruit for the organization on {{rt|24|Kanto}}; and another lone member who has stolen a [[TM]] from a family in [[Cerulean City]]. Eventually, Red uncovers a plot by Team Rocket, infiltrating their [[Team Rocket Hideout|hideout]] beneath the [[Celadon Game Corner]] and encountering their boss, [[Giovanni]]. Defeating him and ousting Team Rocket from Celadon, Red uses the [[Silph Scope]] that Giovanni leaves behind to battle {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon and save [[Mr. Fuji]] in the [[Pokémon Tower]] in [[Lavender Town]], who is being held hostage by Team Rocket. Red soon journeys into Saffron City in the heart of Kanto to find it overrun by Team Rocket, who is attempting to take the recently invented [[Master Ball]] from the [[Silph Co.]] President, and defeats Giovanni again, ending the group's plots for the time being.<br />
<br />
With seven Badges in hand, Red encounters Giovanni for the final time—this time as the [[Gym Leader|Leader]] of the [[Viridian Gym]], his final obstacle before the [[Elite Four]] of [[Indigo Plateau]]. Red defeats him in battle, earning his eighth and final Badge—the {{Badge|Earth}}. He disbands Team Rocket, promising to go into solo training to become a better Trainer.<br />
<br />
Making it through {{ka|Victory Road}} and finally to Indigo Plateau, Red challenges the [[Indigo League]]. First, he defeats the Elite Four and discovers, to his surprise, that Blue has defeated them before him and is therefore the {{pkmn|Champion}} of Kanto. Red defeats Blue in the final battle, becoming the Champion himself, but then continues his training, rather than staying at Indigo Plateau. Encountering an offshoot of Team Rocket in the southern [[Sevii Islands]], lead by Executive [[Archer]], Red reveals with his Earth Badge that Giovanni has disbanded the organization, and, though defeated, the group there intends to revive Team Rocket and bring Giovanni back, having already made plans to force Pokémon to evolve with radio waves.<br />
<br />
Red continues as a wandering Trainer, eventually making his way to [[Mt. Silver Cave]], where he trains his Pokémon alone. In the process, he becomes so distant from the people close to him that he does not even talk to his mom via phone anymore.<br />
<br />
Eventually, {{ga|Ethan}}, {{ga|Kris}}, or {{ga|Lyra}} arrives at Mt. Silver Cave and challenges Red, identified only as a [[Pokémon Trainer]]. If defeated, Red vanishes from Mt. Silver, and returns every time the Elite Four is defeated again by the player of Gold, Silver, Crystal, HeartGold, or SoulSilver.<br />
<br />
In {{B2W2}}, Red is shown to finally come back into public life, as he enters the [[Champions Tournament]] of the [[Pokémon World Tournament]] in the [[Unova]] region. In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon]], {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon}}, a visibly older Red is invited to work as the boss of [[Alola]]'s [[Battle Tree]] along with Blue. When {{ga|Elio}} or {{ga|Selene}} first visits the Battle Tree, they will encounter Red and Blue and battle one of them. After Red{{sup/7|SMUSUM}} or Blue{{sup/7|USUM}} is defeated at the Battle Tree proper, Red will reward the player with a full set of Kanto first partner Pokémon [[Mega Stone]]s.<br />
<br />
Red makes an appearance in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]]. In this continuity, he and Blue completed their journeys and defeated the Elite Four years before the player character started their journey. If the player has defeated at least six [[Master Trainer]]s and has six Pokémon in their [[party]], Red can be found in front of the Pokémon League building at Indigo Plateau, where he may be challenged to a battle. Like during all Master Trainer battles, the player isn't allowed to use [[item]]s from their [[Bag]] during this battle. After being defeated, Red will grant the player the title of [[Pokémon Master|Battle Master]] before leaving, though he will reappear for a [[rematch]] each time the player defeats the Elite Four.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon===<br />
As the player character, Red can have on his team any of the 151 Pokémon available during [[Generation I]]. In [[Generation III]], he can have any of the 386 Pokémon available at that time, though only after the player has obtained the [[National Pokédex]].<br />
<br />
When he is encountered as an opponent in [[Generation II]] and [[Generation IV]], Red has a set team, based on Generation I in-game event Pokémon, and has the highest leveled trained Pokémon yet encountered in the series, with his {{TP|Red|Pikachu}} at level 81 in Generation II and at level 88 in Generation IV. In HeartGold and SoulSilver, when he is defeated, all Pokémon in the player's party receive the {{DL|List of Ribbons in the games|Legend Ribbon}}.<br />
<br />
In {{B2W2}}, he can be fought in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]]'s [[Champions Tournament]], using the same team he did in Generation IV, albeit with different movesets.<br />
<br />
In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon]], {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon}}, Red once again uses his team from Generation IV, just with altered movesets. When battled in the [[Battle Tree]] proper, Red will use a randomly selected team from a preset selection of Pokémon.<br />
<br />
In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], Red's team has notable differences to his previous [[core series]] teams, lacking {{p|Charizard}} and {{p|Blastoise}} which now appear as the highest levelled Pokémon in {{ga|Blue}} and {{ga|Green}}'s teams respectively.<br />

==In the side series games==<br />
===[[Pokémon Stadium 2]]===<br />
Red appears in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]]. He can be battled in the Kanto [[Gym Leader Castle]] after the player has defeated all eight Kanto Gym Leaders, being the final opponent the player must defeat in order to clear the Gym Leader Castle challenge.<br />
<br />
During the game's end credits, he is seen having a battle with {{ga|Blue}}.<br />
<br />
====Pokémon====<br />
Red uses vastly different sets of Pokémon than in any of his other appearances, only sharing a couple Pokémon with the teams he uses in the [[core series]]. Notably, this is the only game where he's not seen using {{TP|Red|his Pikachu|Pikachu}}. In Round 2, each of his Pokémon knows {{m|Hidden Power}}.<br />

===Pokémon Colosseum and XD: Gale of Darkness===<br />
Red makes an appearance in both [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]]. While he does not appear in the games' Story Mode, he is playable in the Battle Mode when a FireRed or LeafGreen cartridge is used, with a male player character chosen. He can take on Mt. Battle's 100-battle challenge, as well as compete in Colosseum battles.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Battle Revolution===<br />
Red made a brief appearance in the debut trailer of [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]], having a [[Double Battle]] against {{ga|Leaf}}, using a {{p|Deoxys}} in its Attack Forme and a {{p|Wailord}}. Despite this, he didn't appear in the final cut of the game.<br />
<br />
==In the spin-off games==<br />
===[[Super Smash Bros. series]]===<br />
[[File:Pokemon Trainer Brawl.png|thumb|250px|left|Red in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] with his Pokémon]]<br />
[[File:Pokemon Trainer SSBU.png|thumb|250px|Red in [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]]]<br />
====Pokémon Trainer====<br />
{{main|Pokémon Trainer (Super Smash Bros.)}}<br />
Red is known as the "Pokémon Trainer" in the [[Super Smash Bros. series]]. He has a team consisting of {{p|Squirtle}}, {{p|Ivysaur}}, and {{p|Charizard}}. Rather than fighting himself like most other characters, Red sends his three Pokémon into battle, switching between them in order.<br />
<br />
Red debuted as a playable character in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]. He was absent from [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]], the only game in the series where his {{SSB|Charizard}} is available as an individual fighter. Red returned as a playable character in [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]], and additionally {{ga|Leaf}} debuted as part of his palette swaps, sharing the same title of "Pokémon Trainer". Red is voiced by [[Michele Knotz]] and [[Billy Bob Thompson]] in the English versions of [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]] and [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate|Ultimate]] respectively, and 半場友恵 ''[[Tomoe Hanba]]'' in the Japanese versions.<br />
<br />
====Other references====<br />
* Red's hat appears as an alternate outfit worn by {{SSB|Pikachu}} from [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]] onward, possibly in specific reference to {{game|Yellow}} (which, in turn, was inspired by ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'').<br />
* In [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]], Red is featured as a trophy to represent Pokémon Trainers.<br />
<br />
===[[Pokémon GO]]===<br />
{{main|Style (GO)}}<br />
For [[Pokémon Day]] 2018, Red's outfit from {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} was released as free style option in [[Pokémon GO]].<br />
<br />
===[[Pokémon Masters EX]]===<br />
{{main|Red (Masters)}}<br />
Red, who is based on the [[player character]], forms a [[sync pair]] with {{TP|Red|Charizard}}, {{p|Snorlax}}, {{TP|Red|Pikachu}}, {{p|Articuno}}, and {{p|Venusaur}} in [[Pokémon Masters EX]]. His Charizard is capable of [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolving]] into Mega Charizard X, while his Snorlax and Pikachu are both capable of [[Gigantamax]]ing, and his Venusaur is capable of [[Dynamax]]ing. Red became a playable sync pair on February 28, 2020.<br />
<br />
In this game, Red is indirectly responsible for the creation of the [[Pokémon Masters League]], as him defeating [[Lear]] before the events of the game was what inspired Lear to create [[Pasio]] and the PML in order to get another chance at beating him. Red first appeared as an NPC during the second chapter of [[PML Arc]]. He also made notable appearances later in the PML Arc, and the [[Villain Arc]]. Unlike in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, both Red and {{mas|Leaf}} coexist in this game.<br />

==Quotes==<br />
{{main|Red (game)/Quotes}}<br />
<br />
==Optional names==<br />
When starting a new game of {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, if the player leaves the name writing screen without any written name, or with a name composed entirely of empty spaces, [[Professor Oak]] says, "Right... So your name is <optional name>", suggesting one of the 19 available names; there are 24 names in total, but there are 5 exclusive to FireRed and 5 exclusive to LeafGreen. The player may answer "Yes" to accept the suggested name, or "No" to return to the name writing screen.<br />

==In the TFG==<br />
There are three {{TFG|Trainer figure|Trainer figures}} based on Red with his design from {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, except with different names and colors.<br />
<br />
* {{TFG ID|Next Quest|Red|42}} (Japanese: レッド ''Red'') from {{TFG|Next Quest}}, wearing his usual red clothes.<br />
* {{TFG ID|Groundbreakers|Green|39}} (Japanese: グリーン ''Green'') from {{TFG|Groundbreakers}}, with green hat, shirt and shoes.<br />
* {{TFG ID|Unnamed Third Set|Yellow|42}} (Japanese: イエロー ''Yellow''), from the {{TFG|Unnamed Third Set}}, with yellow hat, shirt and shoes.<br />
<br />
The Red figure is part of the single released set, Next Quest. The other two sets were not released, so the Green and Yellow figures were not released either.<br />

==Counterparts==<br />
===In animation===<br />
====''Pokémon the Series''====<br />
{{main|Ash Ketchum}}<br />
[[File:Ash debut.png|thumb|250px|Ash Ketchum, Red's {{aniseries|PTS}} counterpart]]<br />
Red's loose [[Cross-canon counterpart|animated counterpart]], introduced in the [[EP001|first episode]], is the main character of ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'', Ash Ketchum. Like Red, Ash is from Pallet Town, on a {{pkmn|journey}} to become a Pokémon Master. Unlike Red, Ash's journey did not end with Kanto, and Ash continued through every other region introduced in the [[core series]] games until [[Galar]], as well as the [[Orange Islands]] south of Kanto, taking the place of the player characters of Generation II during [[Johto]] and Generation V during [[Unova]], and being joined by the animated series counterparts of {{ga|May}}, {{ga|Dawn}}, and {{ga|Serena}} during the Hoenn, Sinnoh, and Kalos sagas respectively. Instead of starting with one of the standard three Kanto first partner Pokémon, however, Ash began his journey with a {{AP|Pikachu}}, inspiring {{game|Yellow}}'s creation, as well as causing some to consider Red and Ash to be exactly the same person, most especially due to Red owning {{TP|Red|one|Pikachu}} as well.<br />
<br />
====''I Choose You!'' trilogy====<br />
{{main|Ash Ketchum (M20)}}<br />
Red has another animated counterpart, {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|M20|an alternate Ash Ketchum}}, who appeared in ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'', ''[[M21|The Power of Us]]'', and ''[[M23|Secrets of the Jungle]]''; these {{pkmn|movie}}s are set in a timeline separate from ''Pokémon the Series''. This Ash shares the same basic characteristics as the main Ash, but goes on a different journey compared to the character in ''Pokémon the Series''.<br />
{{-}}<br />
<br />
====Pokémon Origins====<br />
{{main|Red (Origins)}}<br />
[[File:Blaine Arcanine PO.png|thumb|left|250px|Red in [[Pokémon Origins]]]]<br />
Red also had a direct counterpart that appeared as the main character of the [[Pokémon Origins]] mini-series, which takes place in a separate continuity. This counterpart shared Red's name, in-game role, and design from FireRed and LeafGreen. The mini-series follows Red as he challenges the [[Indigo League]] and fights [[Team Rocket]] with his [[first partner Pokémon]], {{TP|Red|Charmander|Charizard}}.<br />
{{-}}<br />
<br />
====Pokémon Generations====<br />
[[File:Red PG.png|thumb|250px|Red in [[Pokémon Generations]]]]<br />
Another direct counterpart of Red appeared in [[Pokémon Generations]]. He first appeared in ''[[PG01|The Adventure]]'', where he {{pkmn2|caught}} a {{TP|Red|Pikachu}} in [[Viridian Forest]]. He then went on to experience various other adventures with his Pikachu across other regions, during which he encountered various {{pkmn2|wild}} and [[Legendary Pokémon]].<br />
<br />
Red briefly reappeared at the end of ''[[PG03|The Challenger]]'', having just defeated the [[Elite Four]] at [[Indigo Plateau]], and preparing to challenge {{ga|Blue}} for the title of the {{pkmn|Champion}}.<br />
<br />
Like the [[core series]] games, Red is not heard speaking during his appearances.<br />

<br />
Pikachu continued to travel with its Trainer throughout [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]], [[Sinnoh]], [[Unova]], and [[Kalos]], battling against Pokémon such as {{p|Wooper}}, {{p|Vigoroth}}, {{p|Probopass}}, {{p|Regigigas}}, {{p|Volcarona}}, and {{p|Noivern}}.}}<br />

[[File:Red JBA.png|thumb|150px|Red in Pocket Monsters HGSS Jō's Big Adventure]]<br />

==Trivia==<br />
* Red's title screen and profile front sprites from {{game|Red and Green|s}} correspond to his earlier [[Capsule Monsters]] artwork instead of his final [[Generation I]] artwork. His title screen sprite was updated in {{game|Blue| (Japanese)}} but the profile front sprite remained unchanged.<br />
** In {{game|Yellow}}, he has no title screen sprite and his front sprite is updated in part to match his official artwork and possibly in part to match [[Ash Ketchum]], his {{pkmn|animated series}} counterpart, as the frontal section of his hat has the same division in the middle as [[Ash's hat]] from the [[original series]].<br />
* Red's [[party]] in [[Generation II]], {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, {{B2W2}}, and {{game4|SMUSUM}} is based heavily on in-game events from the Generation I games and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}:<br />
** {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Venusaur}}, {{p|Blastoise}}, and {{p|Pikachu}} are the [[game mascot]]s of the four Generation I games: Pokémon Red, Green, Blue, and Yellow. They are also available in all iterations of the original [[Kanto]] plot and can all be obtained in a single save file in Pokémon Yellow;<br />
** {{p|Espeon}} could have been obtained as an {{p|Eevee}} in [[Celadon City]], and Eevee notably serves as {{ga|Blue}}'s [[first partner Pokémon]] in Pokémon Yellow;<br />
** {{p|Lapras}} is given away by a [[Silph Co.]] employee shortly before [[Team Rocket]] is defeated there;<br />
** Two {{p|Snorlax}} are required to be caught or defeated in order to travel to [[Fuchsia City]]. Furthermore, in the Generation II games and Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, only the Snorlax that was previously blocking {{rt|12|Kanto}} (now blocking the entrance to [[Diglett's Cave]]) is available to the {{player}}, suggesting that Red caught the one blocking {{rt|16|Kanto}}.<br />
*** In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, apart from his Venusaur and Blastoise being fully evolved, Red's team is identical to that of [[Ash Ketchum]] throughout most of the [[S02|Orange Islands]] arc.<br />
*** Also in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, the four game mascots all know their [[Generation III]] [[signature move]]s: Venusaur, Charizard, and Blastoise know {{m|Frenzy Plant}}, {{m|Blast Burn}} and {{m|Hydro Cannon}}, respectively, while Pikachu knows {{m|Volt Tackle}}. Furthermore, his Pikachu's moveset coincides with the four moves that [[Ash's Pikachu]] used during ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]'': Volt Tackle, {{m|Quick Attack}}, {{m|Iron Tail}}, and {{m|Thunderbolt}}.<br />
* All six of the Pokémon that Red uses in the core series from HeartGold and SoulSilver to Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon are capable of [[Gigantamax]] in Sword and Shield.<br />
* In HeartGold and SoulSilver, Red's [[level]] 88 [[Red's Pikachu|Pikachu]] is the highest-leveled Pokémon owned by a non-player character outside of [[Battle facility|battle facilities]], tied with [[Cynthia's Garchomp]] during the second [[rematch]] in {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}.<br />
** However, the level of several NPCs' Pokémon in {{4v|Black|White}} are variable and can exceed that of the two, depending on the level of the Pokémon that is [[in-game trade#Generation V|traded]] to them.<br />
* When Red is encountered at the summit of Mt. Silver during Generation II and Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, he has no speech, merely repeating sets of {{wp|ellipsis|ellipses}} <!--2 sets of regular 3-dot ellipses in English GSC and 2 sets of 18-dot ellipses in English HGSS; 10 sets (GSC)/6 sets (HGSS) sets of 2 midline horizontal ellipses each in the Japanese versions--> before beginning the {{pkmn|battle}}. This is a reference to his silent role in [[Generation I]], as he only answered choice questions like <sc>Yes</sc> or <sc>No</sc>. This unique characteristic remains in later [[generation]]s.<br />
** In FireRed and LeafGreen, {{ga|Blue}} sarcastically calls him a "chatty gossip".<br />
*** Blue also jokes about this in Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon.<br />
** Despite this, {{DL|Copycat (character)|Quotes|dialogue that ensues}} when talking to {{OBP|Copycat|character}} in Generation I and FireRed and LeafGreen implies that Red is speaking.<br />
*** Also, only in the Spanish version of HeartGold and SoulSilver, the line "<Trainer> used one <item>!" for opponents using items in battle was localized as "<Trainer>: ¡Voy a usar <item>!" ("<Trainer>: I'm going to use <item>!"), thus causing Red to speak when using an item in battle.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5F1hpXj3f-Q</ref><br />
*** In [[Pokémon Masters EX]], while primarily silent, {{mas|Red}} has {{DL|Red (game)/Quotes|Pokémon Masters EX|several spoken lines of dialogue}}.<br />
* Much like there is minimal information on his {{Ash|animated series counterpart}}'s father, Red's father is mentioned only briefly when examining an {{wp|Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES}} at the [[Celadon Department Store]] in the Generation I games and FireRed and LeafGreen.<br />
* In HeartGold and SoulSilver, Red is the only {{pkmn|Trainer}} who uses the {{pkmn|battle}} transition effect from Generation II.<br />
* All of his animation and manga counterparts also have owned a Pikachu, with {{Zensho|Satoshi}} from Pokémon Zensho being the only one who evolved his one into a {{p|Raichu}}.<br />
* Along with Blue, [[Lance]], and the Generation I and III Kanto [[Gym Leader]]s (excluding [[Giovanni]] and [[Koga]]), Red has appeared in almost every [[generation]] of the [[Pokémon games]], with six out of nine so far. He is the only protagonist with this feat.<br />
* Red and Lance share the same unique {{pkmn|Champion}} battle music in [[Johto]]-based games and Pokémon Black 2 and White 2's [[Champions Tournament]].<br />
* Red's T-shirt in Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon bears the number 96, referencing the original Japanese release year of Pokémon Red and Green.<br />
* Red is the only protagonist to be battled, as an NPC, outside of the generation he was introduced in.<br />
* A Trainer closely resembling an older Red briefly appears in {{DetPikMov}}, where he is shown in a promotional advertisement on the train to [[Ryme City]]. This Trainer is played by Japanese actor Ryoma Takeuchi.<br />

==Names==<br />
[[File:GameFreak 1997 fanbook MC Satoshi.jpg|thumb|200px|Scan from the ''[[Official Fan Book of Pocket Monsters]]'' in which Red is called '''サトシ''' ''Satoshi'']]<br />
'''Red''' is the primary name used for this character in [[core series]] [[Non-player character|NPC]] appearances since [[Generation II]], as well as in {{g|Stadium 2}}, {{g|Masters EX}}, and in the game data of {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} and {{game|Emerald}}. <br />

The name '''{{Ash}}''' (Japanese: '''サトシ''' ''Satoshi''), after the protagonist of ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' and {{DL|Pokémon the Series|related media}}, is also used, particularly in early media. It is one of the [[#Optional names|optional names]] for Red in [[Generation I]] and is used in ''[[Pokémon: Official Nintendo Player's Guide]]''.<ref group="lower-alpha">[[a:File:Ash Gary game.png|Red and Blue called "Ash" and "Gary" in the Nintendo Power guide]]. (Nintendo Power, 1998).</ref> <br />
<br />
In ''[[Pokémon Gold and Silver: Official Nintendo Player's Guide]]'', the name Red is mainly used, though Ash is also used at some point. In ''[[Pokémon Crystal: Official Nintendo Player's Guide]]'', some content was reused but the name "Ash" was edited out.<ref group="lower-alpha">''"Pokémon Gold & Silver also feature the world of Kanto, which '''Ash''' explored in Pokémon Red, Blue and Yellow."'' (Pokémon Gold and Silver guidebook, page 4) ''"Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal also feature the world of Kanto, which '''originally appeared''' in Pokémon Red, Blue and Yellow."'' (Pokémon Crystal guidebook, page 4)</ref><br />
<br />
Other names and terms have also been used in various languages:<br />
* The English {{game|Red and Blue|s}} manuals address the player directly as "you". <br />
* Game screenshots in the official game manuals use the names '''Blue'''{{sup/1|RB}}, '''{{Ash}}'''{{sup/1|Y}}, '''Red'''{{sup/3|FR}}, and '''Green'''{{sup/3|LG}}. <br />
* The Japanese game manuals include text that name the player based on the respective Japanese game version, '''レッド''' ''Red''{{sup/1|JR}}, '''グリーン''' ''Green''{{sup/1|G}}, '''ブルー''' ''Blue''{{sup/1|JB}}, and '''イエロー''' ''Yellow''{{sup/1|Y}}<ref group="lower-alpha">[[a:File:Yellow manual story.jpg|Image of Red named '''イエロー''' (''Yellow'') in the manual of Pokémon Yellow]].</ref>. <br />
* Japanese {{pkmn|playing cards}} use a couple different names and terms: '''レッド''' ''Red'' (Pokémon Red deck), '''グリーン''' ''Green''<ref group="lower-alpha">[[a:File:Red playing card.jpg|Image of Red named '''グリーン''' (''Green'') on a playing card from the Pokémon Green deck released in Japan]].</ref> (Pokémon Green deck), and simply '''主人公しゅじんこう''' ''player character'' (Pokémon Red, Green, Blue, and Yellow decks).<br />
* Some placeholder names are used in the game data: '''Ninten'''{{sup/1|RBY}} (Japanese: '''やまぐち''' ''Yamaguchi''{{sup/1|RG}}; '''ゲーフリ''' ''Gēfuri''{{sup/1|JB}}; ゲーフリ1 Gēfuri1{{sup/1|Y}})<br />
* '''オサム''' (''Osamu'') is used in screenshots of {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} on the official Japanese Pokémon website.<br />
* In the Spanish version of FireRed, LeafGreen, and {{game|Emerald}}, Red's placeholder name has the syllables reversed: he is known as "Joro" instead of "Rojo". <br />

'''Red''' (Japanese: '''{{j|レッド}}''' ''Red'') is the {{player|player character}} in the [[Generation I]] games [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Pokémon Red, Green]], [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Blue]], and {{v2|Yellow}} and the male choice in their [[Generation III]] remakes {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, where his female counterpart is {{ga|Leaf}}.<br />
<br />
Red is known throughout the [[Pokémon world]] as the {{pkmn|Champion}} from [[Pallet Town]], as well as a living legend for his defeat of [[Team Rocket]] in [[Kanto]] during his quest. He is the final opponent in the [[Generation II]] games {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, their [[Generation IV]] remakes {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, and {{g|Stadium 2}}. He is a participant in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]]'s [[Champions Tournament]] in {{B2W2}} and works as a boss of the [[Battle Tree]] alongside {{ga|Blue}} in the [[Generation VII]] games {{pkmn|Sun and Moon|Sun, Moon}}, {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon}}. In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], he appears as the highest-level Trainer in the game, capable of being challenged after defeating six [[Master Trainer]]s.<br />
<br />
==In the core series games==<br />
{{spoilers}}<br />
Red is introduced as a curious 11-year-old boy from [[Pallet Town]]. According to the instruction manuals of {{3v2|Red|Green|Blue}}, Red gained an interest in Pokémon after his best friend, {{ga|Blue}}, stopped playing with him and became a bully, although in the games [[Professor Oak]] says the two have been rivals since infancy. His adventure begins one day when Professor Oak calls the two to his lab for a [[first partner Pokémon]]. Red has a choice of a {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, or {{p|Squirtle}}{{sup/1|G}}{{sup/1|RB}}{{sup/3|FRLG}}. Depending on the Pokémon that Red chooses, Blue will choose the Pokémon that has a type advantage over it{{sup/1|G}}{{sup/1|RB}}{{sup/3|FRLG}}. In {{game|Yellow}}, Red was originally intended to get an {{p|Eevee}}, which was swiped by Blue. As a result, Blue keeps the Eevee and Red receives a {{OBP|Pikachu|Yellow}} that Professor Oak caught earlier{{sup/1|Y}}. Blue challenges Red to a battle immediately to test out his new Pokémon, thinking he will easily beat Red.<br />
<br />
After Red has made his way to [[Viridian City]] to the north and taken [[Parcel|a package]] back to Oak in Pallet Town, Oak gives Red and Blue each a [[Pokédex]] with which to record data on all known Pokémon in the Kanto region to fulfill Oak's dream of creating a full guide on all Pokémon in Kanto. From here, Red and Blue journey across Kanto, collecting Pokémon to build up their teams, and defeating each of the [[Gym Leader]]s in turn, with Blue always one step ahead, showing up from time to time to impede Red's progress.<br />
<br />
Red also comes across a gang of Pokémon thieves, [[Team Rocket]], several times through his journey. He first encounters them trying to steal fossils within Mt. Moon. Then he encounters a member who is running the Nugget Bridge challenge to recruit for the organization on {{rt|24|Kanto}}; and another lone member who has stolen a [[TM]] from a family in [[Cerulean City]]. Eventually, Red uncovers a plot by Team Rocket, infiltrating their [[Team Rocket Hideout|hideout]] beneath the [[Celadon Game Corner]] and encountering their boss, [[Giovanni]]. Defeating him and ousting Team Rocket from Celadon, Red uses the [[Silph Scope]] that Giovanni leaves behind to battle {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon and save [[Mr. Fuji]] in the [[Pokémon Tower]] in [[Lavender Town]], who is being held hostage by Team Rocket. Red soon journeys into Saffron City in the heart of Kanto to find it overrun by Team Rocket, who is attempting to take the recently invented [[Master Ball]] from the [[Silph Co.]] President, and defeats Giovanni again, ending the group's plots for the time being.<br />
<br />
With seven Badges in hand, Red encounters Giovanni for the final time—this time as the [[Gym Leader|Leader]] of the [[Viridian Gym]], his final obstacle before the [[Elite Four]] of [[Indigo Plateau]]. Red defeats him in battle, earning his eighth and final Badge—the {{Badge|Earth}}. He disbands Team Rocket, promising to go into solo training to become a better Trainer.<br />
<br />
Making it through {{ka|Victory Road}} and finally to Indigo Plateau, Red challenges the [[Indigo League]]. First, he defeats the Elite Four and discovers, to his surprise, that Blue has defeated them before him and is therefore the {{pkmn|Champion}} of Kanto. Red defeats Blue in the final battle, becoming the Champion himself, but then continues his training, rather than staying at Indigo Plateau. Encountering an offshoot of Team Rocket in the southern [[Sevii Islands]], lead by Executive [[Archer]], Red reveals with his Earth Badge that Giovanni has disbanded the organization, and, though defeated, the group there intends to revive Team Rocket and bring Giovanni back, having already made plans to force Pokémon to evolve with radio waves.<br />
<br />
Red continues as a wandering Trainer, eventually making his way to [[Mt. Silver Cave]], where he trains his Pokémon alone. In the process, he becomes so distant from the people close to him that he does not even talk to his mom via phone anymore.<br />
<br />
Eventually, {{ga|Ethan}}, {{ga|Kris}}, or {{ga|Lyra}} arrives at Mt. Silver Cave and challenges Red, identified only as a [[Pokémon Trainer]]. If defeated, Red vanishes from Mt. Silver, and returns every time the Elite Four is defeated again by the player of Gold, Silver, Crystal, HeartGold, or SoulSilver.<br />
<br />
In {{B2W2}}, Red is shown to finally come back into public life, as he enters the [[Champions Tournament]] of the [[Pokémon World Tournament]] in the [[Unova]] region. In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon]], {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon}}, a visibly older Red is invited to work as the boss of [[Alola]]'s [[Battle Tree]] along with Blue. When {{ga|Elio}} or {{ga|Selene}} first visits the Battle Tree, they will encounter Red and Blue and battle one of them. After Red{{sup/7|SMUSUM}} or Blue{{sup/7|USUM}} is defeated at the Battle Tree proper, Red will reward the player with a full set of Kanto first partner Pokémon [[Mega Stone]]s.<br />
<br />
Red makes an appearance in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]]. In this continuity, he and Blue completed their journeys and defeated the Elite Four years before the player character started their journey. If the player has defeated at least six [[Master Trainer]]s and has six Pokémon in their [[party]], Red can be found in front of the Pokémon League building at Indigo Plateau, where he may be challenged to a battle. Like during all Master Trainer battles, the player isn't allowed to use [[item]]s from their [[Bag]] during this battle. After being defeated, Red will grant the player the title of [[Pokémon Master|Battle Master]] before leaving, though he will reappear for a [[rematch]] each time the player defeats the Elite Four.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon===<br />
As the player character, Red can have on his team any of the 151 Pokémon available during [[Generation I]]. In [[Generation III]], he can have any of the 386 Pokémon available at that time, though only after the player has obtained the [[National Pokédex]].<br />
<br />
When he is encountered as an opponent in [[Generation II]] and [[Generation IV]], Red has a set team, based on Generation I in-game event Pokémon, and has the highest leveled trained Pokémon yet encountered in the series, with his {{TP|Red|Pikachu}} at level 81 in Generation II and at level 88 in Generation IV. In HeartGold and SoulSilver, when he is defeated, all Pokémon in the player's party receive the {{DL|List of Ribbons in the games|Legend Ribbon}}.<br />
<br />
In {{B2W2}}, he can be fought in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]]'s [[Champions Tournament]], using the same team he did in Generation IV, albeit with different movesets.<br />
<br />
In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon]], {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon}}, Red once again uses his team from Generation IV, just with altered movesets. When battled in the [[Battle Tree]] proper, Red will use a randomly selected team from a preset selection of Pokémon.<br />
<br />
In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], Red's team has notable differences to his previous [[core series]] teams, lacking {{p|Charizard}} and {{p|Blastoise}} which now appear as the highest levelled Pokémon in {{ga|Blue}} and {{ga|Green}}'s teams respectively.<br />

==In the side series games==<br />
===[[Pokémon Stadium 2]]===<br />
Red appears in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]]. He can be battled in the Kanto [[Gym Leader Castle]] after the player has defeated all eight Kanto Gym Leaders, being the final opponent the player must defeat in order to clear the Gym Leader Castle challenge.<br />
<br />
During the game's end credits, he is seen having a battle with {{ga|Blue}}.<br />
<br />
====Pokémon====<br />
Red uses vastly different sets of Pokémon than in any of his other appearances, only sharing a couple Pokémon with the teams he uses in the [[core series]]. Notably, this is the only game where he's not seen using {{TP|Red|his Pikachu|Pikachu}}. In Round 2, each of his Pokémon knows {{m|Hidden Power}}.<br />

===Pokémon Colosseum and XD: Gale of Darkness===<br />
Red makes an appearance in both [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]]. While he does not appear in the games' Story Mode, he is playable in the Battle Mode when a FireRed or LeafGreen cartridge is used, with a male player character chosen. He can take on Mt. Battle's 100-battle challenge, as well as compete in Colosseum battles.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Battle Revolution===<br />
Red made a brief appearance in the debut trailer of [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]], having a [[Double Battle]] against {{ga|Leaf}}, using a {{p|Deoxys}} in its Attack Forme and a {{p|Wailord}}. Despite this, he didn't appear in the final cut of the game.<br />
<br />
==In the spin-off games==<br />
===[[Super Smash Bros. series]]===<br />
[[File:Pokemon Trainer Brawl.png|thumb|250px|left|Red in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] with his Pokémon]]<br />
[[File:Pokemon Trainer SSBU.png|thumb|250px|Red in [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]]]<br />
====Pokémon Trainer====<br />
{{main|Pokémon Trainer (Super Smash Bros.)}}<br />
Red is known as the "Pokémon Trainer" in the [[Super Smash Bros. series]]. He has a team consisting of {{p|Squirtle}}, {{p|Ivysaur}}, and {{p|Charizard}}. Rather than fighting himself like most other characters, Red sends his three Pokémon into battle, switching between them in order.<br />
<br />
Red debuted as a playable character in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]. He was absent from [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]], the only game in the series where his {{SSB|Charizard}} is available as an individual fighter. Red returned as a playable character in [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]], and additionally {{ga|Leaf}} debuted as part of his palette swaps, sharing the same title of "Pokémon Trainer". Red is voiced by [[Michele Knotz]] and [[Billy Bob Thompson]] in the English versions of [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]] and [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate|Ultimate]] respectively, and 半場友恵 ''[[Tomoe Hanba]]'' in the Japanese versions.<br />
<br />
====Other references====<br />
* Red's hat appears as an alternate outfit worn by {{SSB|Pikachu}} from [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]] onward, possibly in specific reference to {{game|Yellow}} (which, in turn, was inspired by ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'').<br />
* In [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]], Red is featured as a trophy to represent Pokémon Trainers.<br />
<br />
===[[Pokémon GO]]===<br />
{{main|Style (GO)}}<br />
For [[Pokémon Day]] 2018, Red's outfit from {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} was released as free style option in [[Pokémon GO]].<br />
<br />
===[[Pokémon Masters EX]]===<br />
{{main|Red (Masters)}}<br />
Red, who is based on the [[player character]], forms a [[sync pair]] with {{TP|Red|Charizard}}, {{p|Snorlax}}, {{TP|Red|Pikachu}}, {{p|Articuno}}, and {{p|Venusaur}} in [[Pokémon Masters EX]]. His Charizard is capable of [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolving]] into Mega Charizard X, while his Snorlax and Pikachu are both capable of [[Gigantamax]]ing, and his Venusaur is capable of [[Dynamax]]ing. Red became a playable sync pair on February 28, 2020.<br />
<br />
In this game, Red is indirectly responsible for the creation of the [[Pokémon Masters League]], as him defeating [[Lear]] before the events of the game was what inspired Lear to create [[Pasio]] and the PML in order to get another chance at beating him. Red first appeared as an NPC during the second chapter of [[PML Arc]]. He also made notable appearances later in the PML Arc, and the [[Villain Arc]]. Unlike in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, both Red and {{mas|Leaf}} coexist in this game.<br />

==Quotes==<br />
{{main|Red (game)/Quotes}}<br />
<br />
==Optional names==<br />
When starting a new game of {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, if the player leaves the name writing screen without any written name, or with a name composed entirely of empty spaces, [[Professor Oak]] says, "Right... So your name is <optional name>", suggesting one of the 19 available names; there are 24 names in total, but there are 5 exclusive to FireRed and 5 exclusive to LeafGreen. The player may answer "Yes" to accept the suggested name, or "No" to return to the name writing screen.<br />

==In the TFG==<br />
There are three {{TFG|Trainer figure|Trainer figures}} based on Red with his design from {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, except with different names and colors.<br />
<br />
* {{TFG ID|Next Quest|Red|42}} (Japanese: レッド ''Red'') from {{TFG|Next Quest}}, wearing his usual red clothes.<br />
* {{TFG ID|Groundbreakers|Green|39}} (Japanese: グリーン ''Green'') from {{TFG|Groundbreakers}}, with green hat, shirt and shoes.<br />
* {{TFG ID|Unnamed Third Set|Yellow|42}} (Japanese: イエロー ''Yellow''), from the {{TFG|Unnamed Third Set}}, with yellow hat, shirt and shoes.<br />
<br />
The Red figure is part of the single released set, Next Quest. The other two sets were not released, so the Green and Yellow figures were not released either.<br />

==Counterparts==<br />
===In animation===<br />
====''Pokémon the Series''====<br />
{{main|Ash Ketchum}}<br />
[[File:Ash debut.png|thumb|250px|Ash Ketchum, Red's {{aniseries|PTS}} counterpart]]<br />
Red's loose [[Cross-canon counterpart|animated counterpart]], introduced in the [[EP001|first episode]], is the main character of ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'', Ash Ketchum. Like Red, Ash is from Pallet Town, on a {{pkmn|journey}} to become a Pokémon Master. Unlike Red, Ash's journey did not end with Kanto, and Ash continued through every other region introduced in the [[core series]] games until [[Galar]], as well as the [[Orange Islands]] south of Kanto, taking the place of the player characters of Generation II during [[Johto]] and Generation V during [[Unova]], and being joined by the animated series counterparts of {{ga|May}}, {{ga|Dawn}}, and {{ga|Serena}} during the Hoenn, Sinnoh, and Kalos sagas respectively. Instead of starting with one of the standard three Kanto first partner Pokémon, however, Ash began his journey with a {{AP|Pikachu}}, inspiring {{game|Yellow}}'s creation, as well as causing some to consider Red and Ash to be exactly the same person, most especially due to Red owning {{TP|Red|one|Pikachu}} as well.<br />
<br />
====''I Choose You!'' trilogy====<br />
{{main|Ash Ketchum (M20)}}<br />
Red has another animated counterpart, {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|M20|an alternate Ash Ketchum}}, who appeared in ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'', ''[[M21|The Power of Us]]'', and ''[[M23|Secrets of the Jungle]]''; these {{pkmn|movie}}s are set in a timeline separate from ''Pokémon the Series''. This Ash shares the same basic characteristics as the main Ash, but goes on a different journey compared to the character in ''Pokémon the Series''.<br />
{{-}}<br />
<br />
====Pokémon Origins====<br />
{{main|Red (Origins)}}<br />
[[File:Blaine Arcanine PO.png|thumb|left|250px|Red in [[Pokémon Origins]]]]<br />
Red also had a direct counterpart that appeared as the main character of the [[Pokémon Origins]] mini-series, which takes place in a separate continuity. This counterpart shared Red's name, in-game role, and design from FireRed and LeafGreen. The mini-series follows Red as he challenges the [[Indigo League]] and fights [[Team Rocket]] with his [[first partner Pokémon]], {{TP|Red|Charmander|Charizard}}.<br />
{{-}}<br />
<br />
====Pokémon Generations====<br />
[[File:Red PG.png|thumb|250px|Red in [[Pokémon Generations]]]]<br />
Another direct counterpart of Red appeared in [[Pokémon Generations]]. He first appeared in ''[[PG01|The Adventure]]'', where he {{pkmn2|caught}} a {{TP|Red|Pikachu}} in [[Viridian Forest]]. He then went on to experience various other adventures with his Pikachu across other regions, during which he encountered various {{pkmn2|wild}} and [[Legendary Pokémon]].<br />
<br />
Red briefly reappeared at the end of ''[[PG03|The Challenger]]'', having just defeated the [[Elite Four]] at [[Indigo Plateau]], and preparing to challenge {{ga|Blue}} for the title of the {{pkmn|Champion}}.<br />
<br />
Like the [[core series]] games, Red is not heard speaking during his appearances.<br />

Red encountered Pikachu while in [[Viridian Forest]]. He sent out his {{p|Bulbasaur}} against it, but {{pkmn2|caught}} it in a {{i|Poké Ball}} without battling. After catching it, Red immediately let it out its Poké Ball and had it battle a {{p|Caterpie}}.<br />
<br />
Pikachu continued to travel with its Trainer throughout [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]], [[Sinnoh]], [[Unova]], and [[Kalos]], battling against Pokémon such as {{p|Wooper}}, {{p|Vigoroth}}, {{p|Probopass}}, {{p|Regigigas}}, {{p|Volcarona}}, and {{p|Noivern}}.}}<br />
<br />
* When Red caught Pikachu, he was revealed to have already obtained at least two other Pokémon besides Bulbasaur.<br />
<br />

==Trivia==<br />
* Red's title screen and profile front sprites from {{game|Red and Green|s}} correspond to his earlier [[Capsule Monsters]] artwork instead of his final [[Generation I]] artwork. His title screen sprite was updated in {{game|Blue| (Japanese)}} but the profile front sprite remained unchanged.<br />
** In {{game|Yellow}}, he has no title screen sprite and his front sprite is updated in part to match his official artwork and possibly in part to match [[Ash Ketchum]], his {{pkmn|animated series}} counterpart, as the frontal section of his hat has the same division in the middle as [[Ash's hat]] from the [[original series]].<br />
* Red's [[party]] in [[Generation II]], {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, {{B2W2}}, and {{game4|SMUSUM}} is based heavily on in-game events from the Generation I games and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}:<br />
** {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Venusaur}}, {{p|Blastoise}}, and {{p|Pikachu}} are the [[game mascot]]s of the four Generation I games: Pokémon Red, Green, Blue, and Yellow. They are also available in all iterations of the original [[Kanto]] plot and can all be obtained in a single save file in Pokémon Yellow;<br />
** {{p|Espeon}} could have been obtained as an {{p|Eevee}} in [[Celadon City]], and Eevee notably serves as {{ga|Blue}}'s [[first partner Pokémon]] in Pokémon Yellow;<br />
** {{p|Lapras}} is given away by a [[Silph Co.]] employee shortly before [[Team Rocket]] is defeated there;<br />
** Two {{p|Snorlax}} are required to be caught or defeated in order to travel to [[Fuchsia City]]. Furthermore, in the Generation II games and Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, only the Snorlax that was previously blocking {{rt|12|Kanto}} (now blocking the entrance to [[Diglett's Cave]]) is available to the {{player}}, suggesting that Red caught the one blocking {{rt|16|Kanto}}.<br />
*** In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, apart from his Venusaur and Blastoise being fully evolved, Red's team is identical to that of [[Ash Ketchum]] throughout most of the [[S02|Orange Islands]] arc.<br />
*** Also in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, the four game mascots all know their [[Generation III]] [[signature move]]s: Venusaur, Charizard, and Blastoise know {{m|Frenzy Plant}}, {{m|Blast Burn}} and {{m|Hydro Cannon}}, respectively, while Pikachu knows {{m|Volt Tackle}}. Furthermore, his Pikachu's moveset coincides with the four moves that [[Ash's Pikachu]] used during ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]'': Volt Tackle, {{m|Quick Attack}}, {{m|Iron Tail}}, and {{m|Thunderbolt}}.<br />
* All six of the Pokémon that Red uses in the core series from HeartGold and SoulSilver to Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon are capable of [[Gigantamax]] in Sword and Shield.<br />
* In HeartGold and SoulSilver, Red's [[level]] 88 [[Red's Pikachu|Pikachu]] is the highest-leveled Pokémon owned by a non-player character outside of [[Battle facility|battle facilities]], tied with [[Cynthia's Garchomp]] during the second [[rematch]] in {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}.<br />
** However, the level of several NPCs' Pokémon in {{4v|Black|White}} are variable and can exceed that of the two, depending on the level of the Pokémon that is [[in-game trade#Generation V|traded]] to them.<br />
* When Red is encountered at the summit of Mt. Silver during Generation II and Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, he has no speech, merely repeating sets of {{wp|ellipsis|ellipses}} <!--2 sets of regular 3-dot ellipses in English GSC and 2 sets of 18-dot ellipses in English HGSS; 10 sets (GSC)/6 sets (HGSS) sets of 2 midline horizontal ellipses each in the Japanese versions--> before beginning the {{pkmn|battle}}. This is a reference to his silent role in [[Generation I]], as he only answered choice questions like <sc>Yes</sc> or <sc>No</sc>. This unique characteristic remains in later [[generation]]s.<br />
** In FireRed and LeafGreen, {{ga|Blue}} sarcastically calls him a "chatty gossip".<br />
*** Blue also jokes about this in Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon.<br />
** Despite this, {{DL|Copycat (character)|Quotes|dialogue that ensues}} when talking to {{OBP|Copycat|character}} in Generation I and FireRed and LeafGreen implies that Red is speaking.<br />
*** Also, only in the Spanish version of HeartGold and SoulSilver, the line "<Trainer> used one <item>!" for opponents using items in battle was localized as "<Trainer>: ¡Voy a usar <item>!" ("<Trainer>: I'm going to use <item>!"), thus causing Red to speak when using an item in battle.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5F1hpXj3f-Q</ref><br />
*** In [[Pokémon Masters EX]], while primarily silent, {{mas|Red}} has {{DL|Red (game)/Quotes|Pokémon Masters EX|several spoken lines of dialogue}}.<br />
* Much like there is minimal information on his {{Ash|animated series counterpart}}'s father, Red's father is mentioned only briefly when examining an {{wp|Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES}} at the [[Celadon Department Store]] in the Generation I games and FireRed and LeafGreen.<br />
* In HeartGold and SoulSilver, Red is the only {{pkmn|Trainer}} who uses the {{pkmn|battle}} transition effect from Generation II.<br />
* All of his animation and manga counterparts also have owned a Pikachu, with {{Zensho|Satoshi}} from Pokémon Zensho being the only one who evolved his one into a {{p|Raichu}}.<br />
* Along with Blue, [[Lance]], and the Generation I and III Kanto [[Gym Leader]]s (excluding [[Giovanni]] and [[Koga]]), Red has appeared in almost every [[generation]] of the [[Pokémon games]], with six out of nine so far. He is the only protagonist with this feat.<br />
* Red and Lance share the same unique {{pkmn|Champion}} battle music in [[Johto]]-based games and Pokémon Black 2 and White 2's [[Champions Tournament]].<br />
* Red's T-shirt in Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon bears the number 96, referencing the original Japanese release year of Pokémon Red and Green.<br />
* Red is the only protagonist to be battled, as an NPC, outside of the generation he was introduced in.<br />
* A Trainer closely resembling an older Red briefly appears in {{DetPikMov}}, where he is shown in a promotional advertisement on the train to [[Ryme City]]. This Trainer is played by Japanese actor Ryoma Takeuchi.<br />
<br />
==Names==<br />
'''Red''' is the primary name used for this character in [[core series]] [[Non-player character|NPC]] appearances since [[Generation II]], as well as in {{g|Stadium 2}}, {{g|Masters EX}}, and in the game data of {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} and {{game|Emerald}}. <br />
<br />
The name '''{{Ash}}''' (Japanese: '''サトシ''' ''Satoshi''), after the protagonist of ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' and {{DL|Pokémon the Series|related media}}, is also used, particularly in early media. It is one of the [[#Optional names|optional names]] for Red in [[Generation I]] and is used in ''[[Official Fan Book of Pocket Monsters]]''<ref group="lower-alpha">[[a:File:GameFreak 1997 fanbook MC Satoshi.jpg|Red is called '''サトシ''' ''Satoshi'' in the Official Fan Book of Pocket Monsters]]. (Nintendo Power, 1998).</ref> and ''[[Pokémon: Official Nintendo Player's Guide]]''<ref group="lower-alpha">[[a:File:Ash Gary game.png|Red and Blue called "Ash" and "Gary" in the Nintendo Power guide]]. (Nintendo Power, 1998).</ref>. In ''[[Pokémon Gold and Silver: Official Nintendo Player's Guide]]'', the name Red is mainly used, though Ash is also used at some point. In ''[[Pokémon Crystal: Official Nintendo Player's Guide]]'', some content was reused but the name "Ash" was edited out.<ref group="lower-alpha">''"Pokémon Gold & Silver also feature the world of Kanto, which '''Ash''' explored in Pokémon Red, Blue and Yellow."'' (Pokémon Gold and Silver guidebook, page 4) ''"Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal also feature the world of Kanto, which '''originally appeared''' in Pokémon Red, Blue and Yellow."'' (Pokémon Crystal guidebook, page 4)</ref><br />
<br />
Other names and terms have also been used in various languages:<br />
* The English {{game|Red and Blue|s}} manuals address the player directly as "you". <br />
* Game screenshots in the official game manuals use the names '''Blue'''{{sup/1|RB}}, '''{{Ash}}'''{{sup/1|Y}}, '''Red'''{{sup/3|FR}}, and '''Green'''{{sup/3|LG}}. <br />
* The Japanese game manuals include text that name the player based on the respective Japanese game version, '''レッド''' ''Red''{{sup/1|JR}}, '''グリーン''' ''Green''{{sup/1|G}}, '''ブルー''' ''Blue''{{sup/1|JB}}, and '''イエロー''' ''Yellow''{{sup/1|Y}}<ref group="lower-alpha">[[a:File:Yellow manual story.jpg|Image of Red named '''イエロー''' (''Yellow'') in the manual of Pokémon Yellow]].</ref>. <br />
* Japanese {{pkmn|playing cards}} use a couple different names and terms: '''レッド''' ''Red'' (Pokémon Red deck), '''グリーン''' ''Green''<ref group="lower-alpha">[[a:File:Red playing card.jpg|Image of Red named '''グリーン''' (''Green'') on a playing card from the Pokémon Green deck released in Japan]].</ref> (Pokémon Green deck), and simply '''主人公しゅじんこう''' ''player character'' (Pokémon Red, Green, Blue, and Yellow decks).<br />
* Some placeholder names are used in the game data: '''Ninten'''{{sup/1|RBY}} (Japanese: '''やまぐち''' ''Yamaguchi''{{sup/1|RG}}; '''ゲーフリ''' ''Gēfuri''{{sup/1|JB}}; ゲーフリ1 Gēfuri1{{sup/1|Y}})<br />
* '''オサム''' (''Osamu'') is used in screenshots of {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} on the official Japanese Pokémon website.<br />
* In the Spanish version of FireRed, LeafGreen, and {{game|Emerald}}, Red's placeholder name has the syllables reversed: he is known as "Joro" instead of "Rojo". <br />

<br />
'''Blue Oak''' (Japanese: '''グリーン''' ''Green''<!-- no surname given in Japanese -->) is the [[rival]] of the {{player}} in the [[Generation I]] games, as well as in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, their [[Generation III]] [[remake]]s. By the end of the main game in these games, he also becomes the [[Pokémon Champion]] of the [[Indigo Plateau]].<br />
<br />
Sometime during the three years between the plotline of the Generation I games, Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, and the events of the [[Generation II]] games and their remakes, {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, as well as during the events of [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], Blue takes the place of [[Giovanni]] as the [[Viridian City]] [[Gym Leader]], as Giovanni had disappeared after he disbanded [[Team Rocket]]. Blue does not specialize in a particular type of Pokémon and, like Giovanni before him, he gives anyone who defeats him an {{Badge|Earth}}.<br />
<br />
In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon]], [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon]], he is one of the leaders of [[Alola]]'s [[Battle Tree]], the other being {{ga|Red}}.<br />
<br />
==Terminology==<br />
[[File:Yellow manual story.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Blue named ブルー (''Blue'') in the manual of Pokémon Yellow]]<br />
[[File:Ash Gary game.png|thumb|160px|Red and Blue called "Ash" and "Gary" in the Nintendo Power guide]]<br />
While he had various names in [[Generation I]], from [[Generation II]] onwards he is referred to as '''Blue''' (Japanese: '''{{j|グリーン}}''' ''Green''). He appears as a [[non-player character]] in several [[core series]] games, [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], and [[Pokémon Masters EX]]. He was named after the [[Generation I]] game [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Pokémon Blue]] in English, or [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Pokémon Green]] in Japanese.<br />
<br />
In the Japanese version, Blue and his sister Daisy are only referred to by their given names, and it is not known if they have the surname of their grandfather [[Professor Oak]]. However, in the English version, Blue's sister is named [[Daisy Oak]], therefore he is presumably named '''Blue Oak''' as well.<br />
<br />
In the player's story as seen in the Japanese game manuals from Generation I, the rival's name refers to a game other than the current one: '''{{j|グリーン}}'''{{sup/1|R}}, '''{{j|レッド}}'''{{sup/1|G}}{{sup/1|B}}, or '''{{j|ブルー}}'''{{sup/1|Y}} (''Green'', ''Red'' or ''Blue''). However, this was adapted as "'''your rival'''" instead in the English version. For instance:<br />
<br />
* In the Japanese manuals of the Generation I games:<br />
*:「となりには{{ruby|幼|おさな}}なじみの'''グリーン'''(ライバル)が{{ruby|住|す}}んでいます」 (''[...] his childhood friend '''Green''' (rival) lives next door.''){{sup/1|R}}<br />
*:「となりには{{ruby|幼|おさな}}なじみの'''レッド'''(ライバル)が{{ruby|住|す}}んでいます」 (''[...] his childhood friend '''Red''' (rival) lives next door.''){{sup/1|G}}{{sup/1|B}}<br />
*:「となりには{{ruby|幼|おさな}}なじみの'''ブルー'''(ライバル)が{{ruby|住|す}}んでいます」 (''[...] his childhood friend '''Blue''' (rival) lives next door.''){{sup/1|Y}}<br />
* In the English manuals:<br />
*: ''"'''Your rival''' lives next door to you."''{{sup/1|RB}}<br />
*: ''"[...] your next door neighbor [...] even thinks of you as his rival."''{{sup/1|Y}}<br />
<br />
In some game screenshots from the English manuals, the rival's name appears as '''Red'''{{sup/1|RB}} or '''{{Gary}}'''{{sup/1|Y}}. In [[Pokémon Stadium]], he is simply known as '''Rival''' (Japanese: '''ライバル''' ''Rival'').<br />
<br />
In the ''[[Pokémon: Official Nintendo Player's Guide]]'' (Nintendo Power, 1998), the rival is named '''Gary''', sharing the name of {{Gary|his animated series counterpart}} (while the player character is named Ash on this guide). This is also found in the list of default names.<br />
<br />
He is also known by some placeholder names, which are stored in the game data but not available in normal gameplay: '''{{wp|Sony}}'''{{sup/1|RBY}} (Japanese: '''いしはら''' ''Ishihara''{{sup/1|RG}}; '''クリチャ''' ''Kuricha''{{sup/1|B}}{{sup/1|Y}}) or '''Terry''' (Japanese: '''みてい''' ''Undefined''){{sup/3|FRLG}}. At least in Generation I, there are some hidden game mechanics that would display this name, therefore it should become visible if some {{wp|Random-access memory|RAM}} {{wp|memory address|addresses}} were changed.<ref>[http://acmlm.kafuka.org/board/thread.php?pid=18912#18912 Intresting and funny in Pokemon Red Acmlmboard]</ref><br />
<br />
* The English "'''Sony'''" references the fact that in the years surrounding the releases of the Generation I games, Sony was Nintendo's main competition, while the player's placeholder name is "Ninten" in those games.<br />
* The Japanese '''いしはら''' (''Ishihara'') refers to [[Tsunekazu Ishihara]], the current president and {{wp|Chief executive officer|CEO}} of [[The Pokémon Company]] and who was the games' producer at the time<br />
* The Japanese '''クリチャ''' (''Kuricha'') refers to [[Creatures, Inc.]] (Japanese: クリーチャーズ ''Creatures'').<br />
* The Japanese '''みてい''' is a placeholder for no name given yet. Possible translations are "Undefined", "Pending", or "TBD".<br />
<br />
During the development stage of {{game|Red and Green|s}}, he was initially named '''ギャラ夫''' (''Gyarao''), a reference to him being a Trainer of {{p|Gyarados}}.<ref>[https://twitter.com/SUPER_32X/status/524989875867504641 Ken Sugimori's Twitter]</ref><br />
<br />
==In the core series games==<br />
He is a very cocky and somewhat unfriendly young man, typically bidding people farewell with "Smell ya later!" (Japanese: '''バイビー！''' ''Baibii!''), and his primary motivation throughout the game is to become the greatest Trainer. Aside from that main goal, he also seems to take satisfaction from always being one step ahead of the player character. He eventually accomplishes his goal, defeating the [[Kanto]] [[Elite Four]] and becoming the [[Pokémon Champion]], but is quickly defeated by the player, losing the position.<br />
<br />
In {{game2|Red|Green|Blue}}, {{game|Yellow}}, and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, Blue is the player's rival. He used to be a good childhood friend of {{ga|Red}} but became mean as they grew older. He believes that Red is his rival because they are of the same age and height. He will meet up with the player as they journey across the [[Kanto]] region, challenging them every once in a while to test their skills. Like the player, he receives a [[first partner Pokémon]] from Professor Oak, his grandfather: the one he chooses will be of the type which weakens the type of the player's choice. In Yellow, he will take the {{p|Eevee}} Professor Oak had intended for the player.<br />
<br />
Eventually, Blue becomes the {{pkmn|Champion}} at [[Indigo Plateau]], though he is defeated by the player before Professor Oak arrives to congratulate him. Once [[Professor Oak]] arrives, he deems Blue to have not realized how to care for Pokémon, which he commends the player for. Frustrated, Blue journeys to the [[Sevii Islands]] at Professor Oak's request, obtaining new Pokémon to use in his matches against the player at the Indigo Plateau (as all in-game Champions return to their position on the player's return to their hometown).<br />
<br />
In {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, however, it is revealed that, after he was defeated at the Indigo Plateau by Red ({{ga|Leaf}} does not appear and is not mentioned in the remake games, and did not exist at the time of Generation II), Blue returned to [[Pallet Town]]. As [[Viridian Gym]]'s [[Gym Leader|Leader]], [[Giovanni]], had abandoned it on his defeat at the hands of Red, Blue took the position, now handing out the {{Badge|Earth}} to Trainers who bested him. In Generation IV, he also distributes {{TM|92|Trick Room}} to those who win the Earth Badge, but does not give a TM out in Generation II. He has not lost his nature as a traveling Trainer, however, and frequently leaves his Gym, creating problems for Trainers who wish to challenge him. When they do find him wherever he is, he points them in the direction of [[Viridian Gym]] for an official league battle. Blue will not battle the player until they have the other seven Kanto Badges in the remakes. However, in the originals he can be challenged as early as after the meeting on [[Cinnabar Island]].<br />
<br />
In HeartGold and SoulSilver only, the player can face Blue in a [[rematch]] at the [[Fighting Dojo]]. The method of obtaining his number is slightly different from the other Gym Leaders. The player must have their Pokémon at maximum friendship and have it massaged by [[Daisy Oak]] seven times. After the seventh time, she will give the player Blue's phone number when spoken to. He can be called for a rematch on Sunday night.<br />
<br />
In {{B2W2}}, the player can challenge Blue in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]]. He participates in the [[Champions Tournament]], with Giovanni filling in his space as a Kanto Gym Leader.<br />
<br />
While he does not appear in {{g|X and Y}}, Blue is mentioned by a woman in the Magenta Plaza Pokémon Center in [[Lumiose City]], who says that Blue traveled to the [[Kalos]] region to study abroad.<br />
<br />
In {{game4|SMUSUM}}, Blue appears at [[Alola]]'s [[Battle Tree]], having been invited to be a leader of the facility alongside Red. When the player first enters the facility area, Red and Blue will appear to greet the player and congratulate them on becoming the Champion of Alola, after which the player gets to battle against one of them.<br />
<br />
In {{LGPE}}, Blue is first encountered in [[Pewter City]] after the player has defeated [[Brock]]. He mentions how he also left on a journey from Pallet Town sometime earlier than the player, and, as Professor Oak hadn't made a [[Pokédex]] by the time he left for his journey, had had to resort to scribbling down on a map what Pokémon he encountered and where. He's later briefly met again aboard the [[S.S. Anne]], where he will give the player a [[Shalour Sable]] and warn them and {{ga|Trace}} about Team Rocket. If talked to aboard the ship, Trace can reveal that Blue actually defeated the Elite Four several years ago. When Team Rocket later takes over Silph Co., Blue is met again at the first floor of the company's office building in [[Saffron City]]. He talks about going to the Pokémon League to ask the Elite Four's help in taking down Team Rocket, but wishes to battle the player and Trace first before doing so. After the player has defeated Blue, Trace battles him next while the player starts climbing the building.<br />
<br />
After the player has earned seven Badges, Blue appears in [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] in Pallet Town, where he congratulates the player and Trace from defeating Team Rocket at Silph Co., rewarding them with a [[Key Stone]] each and also giving the player all the [[Kanto first partner Pokémon]] [[Mega Stone]]s. Once the player has defeated Giovanni at the Viridian Gym, Blue meets the player in front of it and reveals that he had been asked multiple times to take over the Gym, and now that Giovanni has left it, he decides to finally accept the request and become the new Viridian Gym Leader. Trace earns his final Badge from him soon afterwards. During the post-game, the player can rematch Blue at the Gym once per day.<br />

[[File:Gary Rotom Phone.png|thumb|250px|Blue's {{aniseries|PTS}} counterpart, Gary Oak]]<br />
====''Pokémon the Series''====<br />
{{main|Gary Oak}}<br />
Blue received an [[cross-canon counterpart|animated counterpart]] in Gary Oak, [[Ash Ketchum]]'s rival. Much like Blue, Gary was initially very arrogant, but mellowed out after he was defeated by his rival during the [[Silver Conference]]. Unlike Blue, however, Gary has not been shown to have taken over the [[Viridian Gym]]. Instead, he has decided to become a Pokémon researcher like his grandfather, and eventually becoming a member of [[Project Mew]] and a friend and rival to {{ashfr|Ash's friend}}, [[Goh]], as well.<br />
<br />
====Pokémon Origins====<br />
{{main|Blue (Origins)}}<br />
Blue also had a direct counterpart that appeared in the [[Pokémon Origins]] mini-series. This counterpart shared Blue's name, in-game role, and design.<br />
<br />
====Pokémon Generations====<br />
[[File:Blue PG.png|250px|thumb|Blue in [[Pokémon Generations]]]]<br />
Blue prominently appeared in ''[[PG03|The Challenger]]''. At the beginning of the episode, he was the subject of the [[Elite Four]]'s latest conversation, where they described him as a very strong Trainer who was the first in a long time to have collected eight Gym [[Badge]]s. He was subsequently shown challenging the Elite Four at the [[Indigo Plateau]] and defeating each member with relative ease, thus claiming the title of {{pkmn|Champion}}. Shortly after this, he was seen welcoming {{ga|Red}} and accepting his challenge.<br />

Blue, like many in-game characters, has several counterparts in the many different manga series based on Pokémon. While these manga counterparts are distinct from Blue and each other, they generally share his appearance and personality traits.<br />
<br />
====The Electric Tale of Pikachu====<br />
[[File:Blue XY chapter.png|thumb|100px|Blue in Pokémon Adventures]]<br />
{{main|Gary Oak#The Electric Tale of Pikachu|Gary Oak → The Electric Tale of Pikachu}}<br />
Blue's animated series counterpart, [[Gary Oak]], also appears in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]. In the manga, he has a sister (unseen in the {{pkmn|animated series}}) named {{Daisy|May}}.<br />
<br />
====Pokémon 4Koma====<br />
{{main|Rival (4Koma)}}<br />
In [[Pokémon 4Koma]], Blue has a counterpart simply named {{OBP|Rival|4Koma}}.<br />
<br />
====Pokémon Adventures====<br />
{{main|Blue (Adventures)}}<br />
Blue has a direct counterpart in a similarly named character of [[Pokémon Adventures]]. Like in the games, he's {{adv|Professor Oak}}'s grandson, serves as {{adv|Red}}'s final opponent at the [[Indigo Plateau]] [[Pokémon League]], and becomes the [[Viridian City]] [[Gym Leader]] after {{adv|Giovanni}} abdicates the position. In the {{MangaArc|X & Y}}, he also appears in [[Kalos]] to help stop [[Team Flare]] and is shown being capable of using [[Mega Evolution]] with his {{TP|Blue|Charizard}}.<br />
<br />
====Pokémon Pocket Monsters====<br />
{{main|Green (Pocket Monsters)}}<br />
Blue has a counterpart in the [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]] manga named {{OBP|Green|Pocket Monsters}}, sharing his Japanese name. Green is {{OBP|Red|Pocket Monsters}}'s rival and, like Blue, is {{OBP|Professor Oak|Pocket Monsters}}'s grandson.<br />
<br />
====Pokémon Zensho====<br />
{{main|Shigeru (Zensho)}}<br />
Blue has a counterpart in the [[Pokémon Zensho]] manga named {{Zensho|Shigeru}}, named after Blue's alternate name from the games and {{Gary}}'s Japanese name.<br />

==Trivia==<br />
* In [[Generation I]] games, the rival appears with no Trainer class, for instance simply "<name> wants to fight!" However, in the game data, there are three separate Trainer classes used by the rival character: <sc>Rival1</sc>, <sc>Rival2</sc>, and <sc>Rival3</sc> (Japanese: ライバル1 ''Rival 1'', ライバル2 ''Rival 2'', and ライバル3 ''Rival 3''). Each of these Trainer classes corresponds to a different sprite used in-game, and the {{pkmn|Champion}} battle theme music plays when the player is battling the last one.<br />
* Blue's [[first partner Pokémon]] is {{p|Charmander}} by default in the data of [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Pokémon Red, Blue]], [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed, and LeafGreen]]. If the {{player}} were able to progress without receiving a first partner Pokémon, then Blue's team in all battles would be the same as if the player had chosen {{p|Bulbasaur}}. This would be changed if the player gets their first partner Pokémon later at any point, causing Blue to use the correct team based on the player's first partner Pokémon from this point onwards.<br />
* Along with {{ga|Red}}, [[Lance]], and the [[Generation I]] and {{Gen|III}} [[Kanto]] [[Gym Leader]]s (excluding [[Koga]] and [[Giovanni]]), Blue has appeared in [[generation]]s I-V of the [[Pokémon games]]. He is also the only [[rival]] with this feat.<br />
* Blue is the only character that has been a [[Rival]], {{pkmn|Champion}}, and [[Gym Leader]].<br />
* His English name Blue Oak is the name of a species of {{wp|Quercus douglasii|oak tree}}. He shares this distinction with his {{Gary|animated series counterpart}}, {{wp|Quercus garryana|Gary Oak}}.<br />
* Blue's [[level]] 60 {{p|Pidgeot}} in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} is the highest level Pokémon used by a Gym Leader outside of [[rematch]]es.<br />
* Blue is the only Gym Leader who:<br />
** Shares his name with his Gym's [[Badge]], as the Earth Badge is called the "Green Badge" in Japanese, matching Blue's Japanese name.<br />
** Uses a full [[party]] of six Pokémon in a Gym battle.<br />
** Does not have a [[Type expert|specialty type]].<br />
** Was a Champion before he became Gym Leader.<br />
* Blue and [[Piers]] are the only Gym Leaders the [[player character]] battles for a [[badge]] that do not have a gym slogan.<br />
* In the Round 2 battle of {{g|Stadium 2}}, each of Blue's Pokémon is the signature Pokémon of a Trainer battled at the end of a stage at the Johto [[Gym Leader Castle]]: {{p|Scyther}} is the signature Pokémon of [[Bugsy]], {{p|Miltank}} is the signature Pokémon of [[Whitney]], {{p|Gengar}} is the signature Pokémon of [[Morty]], {{p|Houndoom}} is the signature Pokémon of [[Archer]], {{p|Piloswine}} is the signature Pokémon of [[Pryce]], and {{p|Kingdra}} is the signature Pokémon of [[Clair]].<br />
* In Pokémon Yellow, half of Blue's Pokémon team are evolved by using [[Evolution stone]]s (or 2/3 of the team if Eevee evolved into {{p|Jolteon}}). This may be a nod to his first Pokémon in that game, {{p|Eevee}}.<br />
** Coincidentally, {{p|Magneton}}, a Pokémon he uses in these games if Eevee didn't evolve into Jolteon, would later be made capable of evolving further into {{p|Magnezone}}, which itself would become a potentially [[Thunder Stone]]-induced evolution starting in [[Generation VIII]].<br />
* In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, if the player chose {{p|Squirtle}}, none of Blue's Pokémon share a type in the Champion rematch, making him the first Champion with this trait.<br />
* In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], Blue's team is similar to [[Professor Oak]]'s [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|unused team]] from [[Generation I]].<br />

'''Blue Oak''' (Japanese: '''グリーン''' ''Green''<!-- no surname given in Japanese -->) is the [[rival]] of the {{player}} in the [[Generation I]] games, as well as in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, their [[Generation III]] [[remake]]s. By the end of the main game in these games, he also becomes the [[Pokémon Champion]] of the [[Indigo Plateau]].<br />
<br />
Sometime during the three years between the plotline of the Generation I games, Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, and the events of the [[Generation II]] games and their remakes, {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, as well as during the events of [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], Blue takes the place of [[Giovanni]] as the [[Viridian City]] [[Gym Leader]], as Giovanni had disappeared after he disbanded [[Team Rocket]]. Blue does not specialize in a particular type of Pokémon and, like Giovanni before him, he gives anyone who defeats him an {{Badge|Earth}}.<br />
<br />
In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon]], [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon]], he is one of the leaders of [[Alola]]'s [[Battle Tree]], the other being {{ga|Red}}.<br />
<br />
==Terminology==<br />
[[File:Yellow manual story.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Blue named ブルー (''Blue'') in the manual of Pokémon Yellow]]<br />
[[File:Ash Gary game.png|thumb|160px|Red and Blue called "Ash" and "Gary" in the Nintendo Power guide]]<br />
While he had various names in [[Generation I]], from [[Generation II]] onwards he is referred to as '''Blue''' (Japanese: '''{{j|グリーン}}''' ''Green''). He appears as a [[non-player character]] in several [[core series]] games, [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], and [[Pokémon Masters EX]]. He was named after the [[Generation I]] game [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Pokémon Blue]] in English, or [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Pokémon Green]] in Japanese.<br />
<br />
In the Japanese version, Blue and his sister Daisy are only referred to by their given names, and it is not known if they have the surname of their grandfather [[Professor Oak]]. However, in the English version, Blue's sister is named [[Daisy Oak]], therefore he is presumably named '''Blue Oak''' as well.<br />
<br />
In the player's story as seen in the Japanese game manuals from Generation I, the rival's name refers to a game other than the current one: '''{{j|グリーン}}'''{{sup/1|R}}, '''{{j|レッド}}'''{{sup/1|G}}{{sup/1|B}}, or '''{{j|ブルー}}'''{{sup/1|Y}} (''Green'', ''Red'' or ''Blue''). However, this was adapted as "'''your rival'''" instead in the English version. For instance:<br />
<br />
* In the Japanese manuals of the Generation I games:<br />
*:「となりには{{ruby|幼|おさな}}なじみの'''グリーン'''(ライバル)が{{ruby|住|す}}んでいます」 (''[...] his childhood friend '''Green''' (rival) lives next door.''){{sup/1|R}}<br />
*:「となりには{{ruby|幼|おさな}}なじみの'''レッド'''(ライバル)が{{ruby|住|す}}んでいます」 (''[...] his childhood friend '''Red''' (rival) lives next door.''){{sup/1|G}}{{sup/1|B}}<br />
*:「となりには{{ruby|幼|おさな}}なじみの'''ブルー'''(ライバル)が{{ruby|住|す}}んでいます」 (''[...] his childhood friend '''Blue''' (rival) lives next door.''){{sup/1|Y}}<br />
* In the English manuals:<br />
*: ''"'''Your rival''' lives next door to you."''{{sup/1|RB}}<br />
*: ''"[...] your next door neighbor [...] even thinks of you as his rival."''{{sup/1|Y}}<br />
<br />
In some game screenshots from the English manuals, the rival's name appears as '''Red'''{{sup/1|RB}} or '''{{Gary}}'''{{sup/1|Y}}. In [[Pokémon Stadium]], he is simply known as '''Rival''' (Japanese: '''ライバル''' ''Rival'').<br />
<br />
In the ''[[Pokémon: Official Nintendo Player's Guide]]'' (Nintendo Power, 1998), the rival is named '''Gary''', sharing the name of {{Gary|his animated series counterpart}} (while the player character is named Ash on this guide). This is also found in the list of default names.<br />
<br />
He is also known by some placeholder names, which are stored in the game data but not available in normal gameplay: '''{{wp|Sony}}'''{{sup/1|RBY}} (Japanese: '''いしはら''' ''Ishihara''{{sup/1|RG}}; '''クリチャ''' ''Kuricha''{{sup/1|B}}{{sup/1|Y}}) or '''Terry''' (Japanese: '''みてい''' ''Undefined''){{sup/3|FRLG}}. At least in Generation I, there are some hidden game mechanics that would display this name, therefore it should become visible if some {{wp|Random-access memory|RAM}} {{wp|memory address|addresses}} were changed.<ref>[http://acmlm.kafuka.org/board/thread.php?pid=18912#18912 Intresting and funny in Pokemon Red Acmlmboard]</ref><br />
<br />
* The English "'''Sony'''" references the fact that in the years surrounding the releases of the Generation I games, Sony was Nintendo's main competition, while the player's placeholder name is "Ninten" in those games.<br />
* The Japanese '''いしはら''' (''Ishihara'') refers to [[Tsunekazu Ishihara]], the current president and {{wp|Chief executive officer|CEO}} of [[The Pokémon Company]] and who was the games' producer at the time<br />
* The Japanese '''クリチャ''' (''Kuricha'') refers to [[Creatures, Inc.]] (Japanese: クリーチャーズ ''Creatures'').<br />
* The Japanese '''みてい''' is a placeholder for no name given yet. Possible translations are "Undefined", "Pending", or "TBD".<br />
<br />
During the development stage of {{game|Red and Green|s}}, he was initially named '''ギャラ夫''' (''Gyarao''), a reference to him being a Trainer of {{p|Gyarados}}.<ref>[https://twitter.com/SUPER_32X/status/524989875867504641 Ken Sugimori's Twitter]</ref><br />
<br />
==In the core series games==<br />
He is a very cocky and somewhat unfriendly young man, typically bidding people farewell with "Smell ya later!" (Japanese: '''バイビー！''' ''Baibii!''), and his primary motivation throughout the game is to become the greatest Trainer. Aside from that main goal, he also seems to take satisfaction from always being one step ahead of the player character. He eventually accomplishes his goal, defeating the [[Kanto]] [[Elite Four]] and becoming the [[Pokémon Champion]], but is quickly defeated by the player, losing the position.<br />
<br />
In {{game2|Red|Green|Blue}}, {{game|Yellow}}, and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, Blue is the player's rival. He used to be a good childhood friend of {{ga|Red}} but became mean as they grew older. He believes that Red is his rival because they are of the same age and height. He will meet up with the player as they journey across the [[Kanto]] region, challenging them every once in a while to test their skills. Like the player, he receives a [[first partner Pokémon]] from Professor Oak, his grandfather: the one he chooses will be of the type which weakens the type of the player's choice. In Yellow, he will take the {{p|Eevee}} Professor Oak had intended for the player.<br />
<br />
Eventually, Blue becomes the {{pkmn|Champion}} at [[Indigo Plateau]], though he is defeated by the player before Professor Oak arrives to congratulate him. Once [[Professor Oak]] arrives, he deems Blue to have not realized how to care for Pokémon, which he commends the player for. Frustrated, Blue journeys to the [[Sevii Islands]] at Professor Oak's request, obtaining new Pokémon to use in his matches against the player at the Indigo Plateau (as all in-game Champions return to their position on the player's return to their hometown).<br />
<br />
In {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, however, it is revealed that, after he was defeated at the Indigo Plateau by Red ({{ga|Leaf}} does not appear and is not mentioned in the remake games, and did not exist at the time of Generation II), Blue returned to [[Pallet Town]]. As [[Viridian Gym]]'s [[Gym Leader|Leader]], [[Giovanni]], had abandoned it on his defeat at the hands of Red, Blue took the position, now handing out the {{Badge|Earth}} to Trainers who bested him. In Generation IV, he also distributes {{TM|92|Trick Room}} to those who win the Earth Badge, but does not give a TM out in Generation II. He has not lost his nature as a traveling Trainer, however, and frequently leaves his Gym, creating problems for Trainers who wish to challenge him. When they do find him wherever he is, he points them in the direction of [[Viridian Gym]] for an official league battle. Blue will not battle the player until they have the other seven Kanto Badges in the remakes. However, in the originals he can be challenged as early as after the meeting on [[Cinnabar Island]].<br />
<br />
In HeartGold and SoulSilver only, the player can face Blue in a [[rematch]] at the [[Fighting Dojo]]. The method of obtaining his number is slightly different from the other Gym Leaders. The player must have their Pokémon at maximum friendship and have it massaged by [[Daisy Oak]] seven times. After the seventh time, she will give the player Blue's phone number when spoken to. He can be called for a rematch on Sunday night.<br />
<br />
In {{B2W2}}, the player can challenge Blue in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]]. He participates in the [[Champions Tournament]], with Giovanni filling in his space as a Kanto Gym Leader.<br />
<br />
While he does not appear in {{g|X and Y}}, Blue is mentioned by a woman in the Magenta Plaza Pokémon Center in [[Lumiose City]], who says that Blue traveled to the [[Kalos]] region to study abroad.<br />
<br />
In {{game4|SMUSUM}}, Blue appears at [[Alola]]'s [[Battle Tree]], having been invited to be a leader of the facility alongside Red. When the player first enters the facility area, Red and Blue will appear to greet the player and congratulate them on becoming the Champion of Alola, after which the player gets to battle against one of them.<br />
<br />
In {{LGPE}}, Blue is first encountered in [[Pewter City]] after the player has defeated [[Brock]]. He mentions how he also left on a journey from Pallet Town sometime earlier than the player, and, as Professor Oak hadn't made a [[Pokédex]] by the time he left for his journey, had had to resort to scribbling down on a map what Pokémon he encountered and where. He's later briefly met again aboard the [[S.S. Anne]], where he will give the player a [[Shalour Sable]] and warn them and {{ga|Trace}} about Team Rocket. If talked to aboard the ship, Trace can reveal that Blue actually defeated the Elite Four several years ago. When Team Rocket later takes over Silph Co., Blue is met again at the first floor of the company's office building in [[Saffron City]]. He talks about going to the Pokémon League to ask the Elite Four's help in taking down Team Rocket, but wishes to battle the player and Trace first before doing so. After the player has defeated Blue, Trace battles him next while the player starts climbing the building.<br />
<br />
After the player has earned seven Badges, Blue appears in [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] in Pallet Town, where he congratulates the player and Trace from defeating Team Rocket at Silph Co., rewarding them with a [[Key Stone]] each and also giving the player all the [[Kanto first partner Pokémon]] [[Mega Stone]]s. Once the player has defeated Giovanni at the Viridian Gym, Blue meets the player in front of it and reveals that he had been asked multiple times to take over the Gym, and now that Giovanni has left it, he decides to finally accept the request and become the new Viridian Gym Leader. Trace earns his final Badge from him soon afterwards. During the post-game, the player can rematch Blue at the Gym once per day.<br />

[[File:Gary Rotom Phone.png|thumb|250px|Blue's {{aniseries|PTS}} counterpart, Gary Oak]]<br />
====''Pokémon the Series''====<br />
{{main|Gary Oak}}<br />
Blue received an [[cross-canon counterpart|animated counterpart]] in Gary Oak, [[Ash Ketchum]]'s rival. Much like Blue, Gary was initially very arrogant, but mellowed out after he was defeated by his rival during the [[Silver Conference]]. Unlike Blue, however, Gary has not been shown to have taken over the [[Viridian Gym]]. Instead, he has decided to become a Pokémon researcher like his grandfather, and eventually becoming a member of [[Project Mew]] and a friend and rival to {{ashfr|Ash's friend}}, [[Goh]], as well.<br />
<br />
====Pokémon Origins====<br />
{{main|Blue (Origins)}}<br />
Blue also had a direct counterpart that appeared in the [[Pokémon Origins]] mini-series. This counterpart shared Blue's name, in-game role, and design.<br />
<br />
====Pokémon Generations====<br />
[[File:Blue PG.png|250px|thumb|Blue in [[Pokémon Generations]]]]<br />
Blue prominently appeared in ''[[PG03|The Challenger]]''. At the beginning of the episode, he was the subject of the [[Elite Four]]'s latest conversation, where they described him as a very strong Trainer who was the first in a long time to have collected eight Gym [[Badge]]s. He was subsequently shown challenging the Elite Four at the [[Indigo Plateau]] and defeating each member with relative ease, thus claiming the title of {{pkmn|Champion}}. Shortly after this, he was seen welcoming {{ga|Red}} and accepting his challenge.<br />

==Trivia==<br />
* In [[Generation I]] games, the rival appears with no Trainer class, for instance simply "<name> wants to fight!" However, in the game data, there are three separate Trainer classes used by the rival character: <sc>Rival1</sc>, <sc>Rival2</sc>, and <sc>Rival3</sc> (Japanese: ライバル1 ''Rival 1'', ライバル2 ''Rival 2'', and ライバル3 ''Rival 3''). Each of these Trainer classes corresponds to a different sprite used in-game, and the {{pkmn|Champion}} battle theme music plays when the player is battling the last one.<br />
* Blue's [[first partner Pokémon]] is {{p|Charmander}} by default in the data of [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Pokémon Red, Blue]], [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed, and LeafGreen]]. If the {{player}} were able to progress without receiving a first partner Pokémon, then Blue's team in all battles would be the same as if the player had chosen {{p|Bulbasaur}}. This would be changed if the player gets their first partner Pokémon later at any point, causing Blue to use the correct team based on the player's first partner Pokémon from this point onwards.<br />
* Along with {{ga|Red}}, [[Lance]], and the [[Generation I]] and {{Gen|III}} [[Kanto]] [[Gym Leader]]s (excluding [[Koga]] and [[Giovanni]]), Blue has appeared in [[generation]]s I-V of the [[Pokémon games]]. He is also the only [[rival]] with this feat.<br />
* Blue is the only character that has been a [[Rival]], {{pkmn|Champion}}, and [[Gym Leader]].<br />
* His English name Blue Oak is the name of a species of {{wp|Quercus douglasii|oak tree}}. He shares this distinction with his {{Gary|animated series counterpart}}, {{wp|Quercus garryana|Gary Oak}}.<br />
* Blue's [[level]] 60 {{p|Pidgeot}} in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} is the highest level Pokémon used by a Gym Leader outside of [[rematch]]es.<br />
* Blue is the only Gym Leader who:<br />
** Shares his name with his Gym's [[Badge]], as the Earth Badge is called the "Green Badge" in Japanese, matching Blue's Japanese name.<br />
** Uses a full [[party]] of six Pokémon in a Gym battle.<br />
** Does not have a [[Type expert|specialty type]].<br />
** Was a Champion before he became Gym Leader.<br />
* Blue and [[Piers]] are the only Gym Leaders the [[player character]] battles for a [[badge]] that do not have a gym slogan.<br />
* In the Round 2 battle of {{g|Stadium 2}}, each of Blue's Pokémon is the signature Pokémon of a Trainer battled at the end of a stage at the Johto [[Gym Leader Castle]]: {{p|Scyther}} is the signature Pokémon of [[Bugsy]], {{p|Miltank}} is the signature Pokémon of [[Whitney]], {{p|Gengar}} is the signature Pokémon of [[Morty]], {{p|Houndoom}} is the signature Pokémon of [[Archer]], {{p|Piloswine}} is the signature Pokémon of [[Pryce]], and {{p|Kingdra}} is the signature Pokémon of [[Clair]].<br />
* In Pokémon Yellow, half of Blue's Pokémon team are evolved by using [[Evolution stone]]s (or 2/3 of the team if Eevee evolved into {{p|Jolteon}}). This may be a nod to his first Pokémon in that game, {{p|Eevee}}.<br />
** Coincidentally, {{p|Magneton}}, a Pokémon he uses in these games if Eevee didn't evolve into Jolteon, would later be made capable of evolving further into {{p|Magnezone}}, which itself would become a potentially [[Thunder Stone]]-induced evolution starting in [[Generation VIII]].<br />
* In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, if the player chose {{p|Squirtle}}, none of Blue's Pokémon share a type in the Champion rematch, making him the first Champion with this trait.<br />
* In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], Blue's team is similar to [[Professor Oak]]'s [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|unused team]] from [[Generation I]].<br />

'''Red's Charizard''' (Japanese: '''レッドのリザードン''' ''Red's Lizardon'') was the [[List of characters' first Pokémon|first Pokémon]] acquired by {{OBP|Red|Origins}} in the [[Kanto]] [[region]]. Red obtained {{p|Charmander}} from [[Professor Oak]] when he was sent out to fill up the [[Pokédex]].<br />
<br />
==In animation==<br />
===Pokémon Origins===<br />
====History====<br />
[[File:Red and Charizard PO.png|thumb|left|250px|Charizard and Red]]<br />
Charmander originally belonged to [[Professor Oak]] as a potential first partner Pokémon for new Trainers, along with {{p|Bulbasaur}} and {{p|Squirtle}}. <br />
<br />
In ''[[PO01|File 1: Red]]'', Red picked it as his because it fit his name and his burning desire to be a {{pkmn|Trainer}}. Its first {{pkmn|battle}} was against a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Pidgey}}, which escaped. Charmander was then used in Red's first battle against {{OBP|Blue|Origins}}'s {{p|Squirtle}}. Due to Red's inexperience and Squirtle's type advantage, Charmander was easily defeated.<br />
<br />
During Red's Gym battle against [[Brock]], Charmander was Red's initial choice, but when learning about the advantage that [[Brock's Geodude]] has on Fire-type Pokémon, it was soon recalled. However, it would still end up as Red's last healthy Pokémon against {{TP|Brock|Onix}}. Red and Charmander emerged victorious thanks to Red's strategy.<br />
<br />
It was revealed in ''[[PO02|File 2: Cubone]]'' that Charmander evolved into {{p|Charmeleon}} some time after Red's Gym battle against [[Misty]]. In that same episode, Red used Charmeleon in Lavender Town to face the ghost who terrorized the inhabitants of the city, which was later to be revealed to be the spirit of a {{OBP|Marowak|ghost}} who was killed by members of [[Team Rocket]].<br />
<br />
It was revealed in ''[[PO03|File 3: Giovanni]]'' that Red used Charmeleon again in his battle against [[Erika]], and it managed to get him his fourth Badge. After several battles, Charmeleon evolved into a Charizard. Red used Charizard in his first battle against [[Giovanni]] at [[Silph Co.]] Even though the Fire-type Pokémon tried its best, it was easily subdued by Giovanni's {{p|Nidoqueen}}. Charizard was used again in the final battle against Giovanni, where it faced Giovanni's {{p|Rhydon}}. After a hard battle, Charizard managed to win and Giovanni decided to change his attitude. <br />
<br />
In ''[[PO04|File 4: Charizard]]'', at the [[Indigo Plateau|Pokémon League]] in the final battle against Blue, Charizard was the final Pokémon Red used. It went against Blue's {{p|Blastoise}}. The two Pokémon fought hard, but Charizard ultimately proved victorious with a combination of {{m|Fire Spin}} and {{m|Fire Blast}}, landing it, along with {{OBP|Red|Origins}} and the rest of his [[party]], in the [[Hall of Fame]] as {{pkmn|Champion}}s. From then on, Red resolved to capture all the Pokémon in the [[Kanto]] region. Charizard was used in a battle against a {{p|Moltres}}, which ended up being captured by Red.<br />
<br />
During Red's battle against {{p|Mewtwo}}, Red sent out Charizard as his last hope, after the rest of his team had been defeated. Initially, Charizard was no match for Mewtwo either, being defeated by being thrown into a lake together with its Trainer. With the use of a [[Mega Stone]], given to Red by [[Mr. Fuji]] and its great bond with Red, it was able to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Charizard X. With this new level of power, Charizard was able to match Mewtwo's power. And so, after a series of powerful moves, it was able to defeat Mewtwo, allowing Red to catch it.<br />
<br />
====Personality and characteristics====<br />
[[File:Mega Stone PO.png|thumb|250px|Charizard's Charizardite X]]<br />
As mentioned by many Trainers, Red and Charizard have a great bond between them. Charizard is very loyal to Red, even when it was still a Charmander and its Trainer was rather inexperienced. In terms of power, it is one of Red's strongest Pokémon, even being able to beat powerful opponents that its type is usually weak against.<br />
<br />
Thanks to this union and its power, Charizard is able to Mega Evolve, something that is rarely seen in the Kanto region.<br />

==In the core series games==<br />
===As a first partner Pokémon===<br />
In the Kanto-based games (excluding {{game|Yellow}} and [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]]), the {{player}} has the option to choose Charmander as their [[first partner Pokémon]].<br />

[[File:Charizard SSBU.png|thumb|200px|left|Red's Charizard in [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]]]<br />
<br />
In the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series, the {{OBP|Pokémon Trainer|Super Smash Bros.}} character, an incarnation of Red by default, uses a Charizard as his powerhouse. It uses heavy-hitting moves, above-average dash speed (slightly faster than Pikachu), and long-range attacks. Charizard's drawbacks include large weight, subpar aerial game, and slow walking speed. Its varied arsenal of attacks includes {{m|Rock Smash}}, a powerful frontal attack, and {{m|Fly}}, a recovery move that sends Charizard skyward and allows it to glide. It can also use Flamethrower to attack from a short distance, but its power decreases over time. It uses {{m|Fire Blast}} in the Pokémon Trainer's Final Smash, {{DL|Final Smash|Triple Finish}}.<br />
<br />
In the {{sbw|Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary|Subspace Emissary}}, Charizard is found shortly after Ivysaur, completing the Trainer's team.<br />

==Trivia==<br />
* Red and Charmander appeared on the cover of the first {{OBP|Pokémon Power|magazine}} magazine.<br />
* In [[Pokémon Evolutions]], {{ga|Red}} is shown to possess a Charizard and {{ga|Blue}} is shown to have a {{p|Venusaur}}, breaking the tradition of Blue having the [[first partner Pokémon]] that has a type advantage over Red. In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], the {{pkmn|games}} that episode ''[[PE08|The Discovery]]'' is based on, Red has a Venusaur and Blue has a Charizard.<br />
* Charizard was featured in a [[Nintendo 3DS themes|3DS theme]].<br />

'''Red''' (Japanese: '''{{j|レッド}}''' ''Red'') is the {{player|player character}} in the [[Generation I]] games [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Pokémon Red, Green]], [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Blue]], and {{v2|Yellow}} and the male choice in their [[Generation III]] remakes {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, where his female counterpart is {{ga|Leaf}}.<br />
<br />
Red is known throughout the [[Pokémon world]] as the {{pkmn|Champion}} from [[Pallet Town]], as well as a living legend for his defeat of [[Team Rocket]] in [[Kanto]] during his quest. He is the final opponent in the [[Generation II]] games {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, their [[Generation IV]] remakes {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, and {{g|Stadium 2}}. He is a participant in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]]'s [[Champions Tournament]] in {{B2W2}} and works as a boss of the [[Battle Tree]] alongside {{ga|Blue}} in the [[Generation VII]] games {{pkmn|Sun and Moon|Sun, Moon}}, {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon}}. In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], he appears as the highest-level Trainer in the game, capable of being challenged after defeating six [[Master Trainer]]s.<br />
<br />
==In the core series games==<br />
{{spoilers}}<br />
Red is introduced as a curious 11-year-old boy from [[Pallet Town]]. According to the instruction manuals of {{3v2|Red|Green|Blue}}, Red gained an interest in Pokémon after his best friend, {{ga|Blue}}, stopped playing with him and became a bully, although in the games [[Professor Oak]] says the two have been rivals since infancy. His adventure begins one day when Professor Oak calls the two to his lab for a [[first partner Pokémon]]. Red has a choice of a {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, or {{p|Squirtle}}{{sup/1|G}}{{sup/1|RB}}{{sup/3|FRLG}}. Depending on the Pokémon that Red chooses, Blue will choose the Pokémon that has a type advantage over it{{sup/1|G}}{{sup/1|RB}}{{sup/3|FRLG}}. In {{game|Yellow}}, Red was originally intended to get an {{p|Eevee}}, which was swiped by Blue. As a result, Blue keeps the Eevee and Red receives a {{OBP|Pikachu|Yellow}} that Professor Oak caught earlier{{sup/1|Y}}. Blue challenges Red to a battle immediately to test out his new Pokémon, thinking he will easily beat Red.<br />
<br />
After Red has made his way to [[Viridian City]] to the north and taken [[Parcel|a package]] back to Oak in Pallet Town, Oak gives Red and Blue each a [[Pokédex]] with which to record data on all known Pokémon in the Kanto region to fulfill Oak's dream of creating a full guide on all Pokémon in Kanto. From here, Red and Blue journey across Kanto, collecting Pokémon to build up their teams, and defeating each of the [[Gym Leader]]s in turn, with Blue always one step ahead, showing up from time to time to impede Red's progress.<br />
<br />
Red also comes across a gang of Pokémon thieves, [[Team Rocket]], several times through his journey. He first encounters them trying to steal fossils within Mt. Moon. Then he encounters a member who is running the Nugget Bridge challenge to recruit for the organization on {{rt|24|Kanto}}; and another lone member who has stolen a [[TM]] from a family in [[Cerulean City]]. Eventually, Red uncovers a plot by Team Rocket, infiltrating their [[Team Rocket Hideout|hideout]] beneath the [[Celadon Game Corner]] and encountering their boss, [[Giovanni]]. Defeating him and ousting Team Rocket from Celadon, Red uses the [[Silph Scope]] that Giovanni leaves behind to battle {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon and save [[Mr. Fuji]] in the [[Pokémon Tower]] in [[Lavender Town]], who is being held hostage by Team Rocket. Red soon journeys into Saffron City in the heart of Kanto to find it overrun by Team Rocket, who is attempting to take the recently invented [[Master Ball]] from the [[Silph Co.]] President, and defeats Giovanni again, ending the group's plots for the time being.<br />
<br />
With seven Badges in hand, Red encounters Giovanni for the final time—this time as the [[Gym Leader|Leader]] of the [[Viridian Gym]], his final obstacle before the [[Elite Four]] of [[Indigo Plateau]]. Red defeats him in battle, earning his eighth and final Badge—the {{Badge|Earth}}. He disbands Team Rocket, promising to go into solo training to become a better Trainer.<br />
<br />
Making it through {{ka|Victory Road}} and finally to Indigo Plateau, Red challenges the [[Indigo League]]. First, he defeats the Elite Four and discovers, to his surprise, that Blue has defeated them before him and is therefore the {{pkmn|Champion}} of Kanto. Red defeats Blue in the final battle, becoming the Champion himself, but then continues his training, rather than staying at Indigo Plateau. Encountering an offshoot of Team Rocket in the southern [[Sevii Islands]], lead by Executive [[Archer]], Red reveals with his Earth Badge that Giovanni has disbanded the organization, and, though defeated, the group there intends to revive Team Rocket and bring Giovanni back, having already made plans to force Pokémon to evolve with radio waves.<br />
<br />
Red continues as a wandering Trainer, eventually making his way to [[Mt. Silver Cave]], where he trains his Pokémon alone. In the process, he becomes so distant from the people close to him that he does not even talk to his mom via phone anymore.<br />
<br />
Eventually, {{ga|Ethan}}, {{ga|Kris}}, or {{ga|Lyra}} arrives at Mt. Silver Cave and challenges Red, identified only as a [[Pokémon Trainer]]. If defeated, Red vanishes from Mt. Silver, and returns every time the Elite Four is defeated again by the player of Gold, Silver, Crystal, HeartGold, or SoulSilver.<br />
<br />
In {{B2W2}}, Red is shown to finally come back into public life, as he enters the [[Champions Tournament]] of the [[Pokémon World Tournament]] in the [[Unova]] region. In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon]], {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon}}, a visibly older Red is invited to work as the boss of [[Alola]]'s [[Battle Tree]] along with Blue. When {{ga|Elio}} or {{ga|Selene}} first visits the Battle Tree, they will encounter Red and Blue and battle one of them. After Red{{sup/7|SMUSUM}} or Blue{{sup/7|USUM}} is defeated at the Battle Tree proper, Red will reward the player with a full set of Kanto first partner Pokémon [[Mega Stone]]s.<br />
<br />
Red makes an appearance in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]]. In this continuity, he and Blue completed their journeys and defeated the Elite Four years before the player character started their journey. If the player has defeated at least six [[Master Trainer]]s and has six Pokémon in their [[party]], Red can be found in front of the Pokémon League building at Indigo Plateau, where he may be challenged to a battle. Like during all Master Trainer battles, the player isn't allowed to use [[item]]s from their [[Bag]] during this battle. After being defeated, Red will grant the player the title of [[Pokémon Master|Battle Master]] before leaving, though he will reappear for a [[rematch]] each time the player defeats the Elite Four.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon===<br />
As the player character, Red can have on his team any of the 151 Pokémon available during [[Generation I]]. In [[Generation III]], he can have any of the 386 Pokémon available at that time, though only after the player has obtained the [[National Pokédex]].<br />
<br />
When he is encountered as an opponent in [[Generation II]] and [[Generation IV]], Red has a set team, based on Generation I in-game event Pokémon, and has the highest leveled trained Pokémon yet encountered in the series, with his {{TP|Red|Pikachu}} at level 81 in Generation II and at level 88 in Generation IV. In HeartGold and SoulSilver, when he is defeated, all Pokémon in the player's party receive the {{DL|List of Ribbons in the games|Legend Ribbon}}.<br />
<br />
In {{B2W2}}, he can be fought in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]]'s [[Champions Tournament]], using the same team he did in Generation IV, albeit with different movesets.<br />
<br />
In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon]], {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon}}, Red once again uses his team from Generation IV, just with altered movesets. When battled in the [[Battle Tree]] proper, Red will use a randomly selected team from a preset selection of Pokémon.<br />
<br />
In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], Red's team has notable differences to his previous [[core series]] teams, replacing {{p|Charizard}} and {{p|Blastoise}} which now appear as the highest levelled Pokémon in {{ga|Blue}} and {{ga|Green}}'s teams respectively.<br />

==In the side series games==<br />
===[[Pokémon Stadium 2]]===<br />
Red appears in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]]. He can be battled in the Kanto [[Gym Leader Castle]] after the player has defeated all eight Kanto Gym Leaders, being the final opponent the player must defeat in order to clear the Gym Leader Castle challenge.<br />
<br />
During the game's end credits, he is seen having a battle with {{ga|Blue}}.<br />
<br />
====Pokémon====<br />
Red uses vastly different sets of Pokémon than in any of his other appearances, only sharing a couple Pokémon with the teams he uses in the [[core series]]. Notably, this is the only game where he's not seen using {{TP|Red|his Pikachu|Pikachu}}. In Round 2, each of his Pokémon knows {{m|Hidden Power}}.<br />

===Pokémon Colosseum and XD: Gale of Darkness===<br />
Red makes an appearance in both [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]]. While he does not appear in the games' Story Mode, he is playable in the Battle Mode when a FireRed or LeafGreen cartridge is used, with a male player character chosen. He can take on Mt. Battle's 100-battle challenge, as well as compete in Colosseum battles.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Battle Revolution===<br />
Red made a brief appearance in the debut trailer of [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]], having a [[Double Battle]] against {{ga|Leaf}}, using a {{p|Deoxys}} in its Attack Forme and a {{p|Wailord}}. Despite this, he didn't appear in the final cut of the game.<br />
<br />
==In the spin-off games==<br />
===[[Super Smash Bros. series]]===<br />
[[File:Pokemon Trainer Brawl.png|thumb|250px|left|Red in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] with his Pokémon]]<br />
[[File:Pokemon Trainer SSBU.png|thumb|250px|Red in [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]]]<br />
====Pokémon Trainer====<br />
{{main|Pokémon Trainer (Super Smash Bros.)}}<br />
Red is known as the "Pokémon Trainer" in the [[Super Smash Bros. series]]. He has a team consisting of {{p|Squirtle}}, {{p|Ivysaur}}, and {{p|Charizard}}. Rather than fighting himself like most other characters, Red sends his three Pokémon into battle, switching between them in order.<br />
<br />
Red debuted as a playable character in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]. He was absent from [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]], the only game in the series where his {{SSB|Charizard}} is available as an individual fighter. Red returned as a playable character in [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]], and additionally {{ga|Leaf}} debuted as part of his palette swaps, sharing the same title of "Pokémon Trainer". Red is voiced by [[Michele Knotz]] and [[Billy Bob Thompson]] in the English versions of [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]] and [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate|Ultimate]] respectively, and 半場友恵 ''[[Tomoe Hanba]]'' in the Japanese versions.<br />
<br />
====Other references====<br />
* Red's hat appears as an alternate outfit worn by {{SSB|Pikachu}} from [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]] onward, possibly in specific reference to {{game|Yellow}} (which, in turn, was inspired by ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'').<br />
* In [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]], Red is featured as a trophy to represent Pokémon Trainers.<br />
<br />
===[[Pokémon GO]]===<br />
{{main|Style (GO)}}<br />
For [[Pokémon Day]] 2018, Red's outfit from {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} was released as free style option in [[Pokémon GO]].<br />
<br />
===[[Pokémon Masters EX]]===<br />
{{main|Red (Masters)}}<br />
Red, who is based on the [[player character]], forms a [[sync pair]] with {{TP|Red|Charizard}}, {{p|Snorlax}}, {{TP|Red|Pikachu}}, {{p|Articuno}}, and {{p|Venusaur}} in [[Pokémon Masters EX]]. His Charizard is capable of [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolving]] into Mega Charizard X, while his Snorlax and Pikachu are both capable of [[Gigantamax]]ing, and his Venusaur is capable of [[Dynamax]]ing. Red became a playable sync pair on February 28, 2020.<br />
<br />
In this game, Red is indirectly responsible for the creation of the [[Pokémon Masters League]], as him defeating [[Lear]] before the events of the game was what inspired Lear to create [[Pasio]] and the PML in order to get another chance at beating him. Red first appeared as an NPC during the second chapter of [[PML Arc]]. He also made notable appearances later in the PML Arc, and the [[Villain Arc]]. Unlike in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, both Red and {{mas|Leaf}} coexist in this game.<br />

==Quotes==<br />
{{main|Red (game)/Quotes}}<br />
<br />
==Optional names==<br />
When starting a new game of {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, if the player leaves the name writing screen without any written name, or with a name composed entirely of empty spaces, [[Professor Oak]] says, "Right... So your name is <optional name>", suggesting one of the 19 available names; there are 24 names in total, but there are 5 exclusive to FireRed and 5 exclusive to LeafGreen. The player may answer "Yes" to accept the suggested name, or "No" to return to the name writing screen.<br />

==Counterparts==<br />
===In animation===<br />
====''Pokémon the Series''====<br />
{{main|Ash Ketchum}}<br />
[[File:Ash debut.png|thumb|250px|Ash Ketchum, Red's {{aniseries|PTS}} counterpart]]<br />
Red's loose [[Cross-canon counterpart|animated counterpart]], introduced in the [[EP001|first episode]], is the main character of ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'', Ash Ketchum. Like Red, Ash is from Pallet Town, on a {{pkmn|journey}} to become a Pokémon Master. Unlike Red, Ash's journey did not end with Kanto, and Ash continued through every other region introduced in the [[core series]] games until [[Galar]], as well as the [[Orange Islands]] south of Kanto, taking the place of the player characters of Generation II during [[Johto]] and Generation V during [[Unova]], and being joined by the animated series counterparts of {{ga|May}}, {{ga|Dawn}}, and {{ga|Serena}} during the Hoenn, Sinnoh, and Kalos sagas respectively. Instead of starting with one of the standard three Kanto first partner Pokémon, however, Ash began his journey with a {{AP|Pikachu}}, inspiring {{game|Yellow}}'s creation, as well as causing some to consider Red and Ash to be exactly the same person, most especially due to Red owning {{TP|Red|one|Pikachu}} as well.<br />
<br />
====''I Choose You!'' trilogy====<br />
{{main|Ash Ketchum (M20)}}<br />
Red has another animated counterpart, {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|M20|an alternate Ash Ketchum}}, who appeared in ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'', ''[[M21|The Power of Us]]'', and ''[[M23|Secrets of the Jungle]]''; these {{pkmn|movie}}s are set in a timeline separate from ''Pokémon the Series''. This Ash shares the same basic characteristics as the main Ash, but goes on a different journey compared to the character in ''Pokémon the Series''.<br />
{{-}}<br />
<br />
====Pokémon Origins====<br />
{{main|Red (Origins)}}<br />
[[File:Blaine Arcanine PO.png|thumb|left|250px|Red in [[Pokémon Origins]]]]<br />
Red also had a direct counterpart that appeared as the main character of the [[Pokémon Origins]] mini-series, which takes place in a separate continuity. This counterpart shared Red's name, in-game role, and design from FireRed and LeafGreen. The mini-series follows Red as he challenges the [[Indigo League]] and fights [[Team Rocket]] with his [[first partner Pokémon]], {{TP|Red|Charmander|Charizard}}.<br />
{{-}}<br />
<br />
====Pokémon Generations====<br />
[[File:Red PG.png|thumb|250px|Red in [[Pokémon Generations]]]]<br />
Another direct counterpart of Red appeared in [[Pokémon Generations]]. He first appeared in ''[[PG01|The Adventure]]'', where he {{pkmn2|caught}} a {{TP|Red|Pikachu}} in [[Viridian Forest]]. He then went on to experience various other adventures with his Pikachu across other regions, during which he encountered various {{pkmn2|wild}} and [[Legendary Pokémon]].<br />
<br />
Red briefly reappeared at the end of ''[[PG03|The Challenger]]'', having just defeated the [[Elite Four]] at [[Indigo Plateau]], and preparing to challenge {{ga|Blue}} for the title of the {{pkmn|Champion}}.<br />
<br />
Like the [[core series]] games, Red is not heard speaking during his appearances.<br />

==Trivia==<br />
* Red's title screen and profile front sprites from {{game|Red and Green|s}} correspond to his earlier [[Capsule Monsters]] artwork instead of his final [[Generation I]] artwork. His title screen sprite was updated in {{game|Blue| (Japanese)}} but the profile front sprite remained unchanged.<br />
** In {{game|Yellow}}, he has no title screen sprite and his front sprite is updated in part to match his official artwork and possibly in part to match [[Ash Ketchum]], his {{pkmn|animated series}} counterpart, as the frontal section of his hat has the same division in the middle as [[Ash's hat]] from the [[original series]].<br />
* Red's [[party]] in [[Generation II]], {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, {{B2W2}}, and {{game4|SMUSUM}} is based heavily on in-game events from the Generation I games and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}:<br />
** {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Venusaur}}, {{p|Blastoise}}, and {{p|Pikachu}} are the [[game mascot]]s of the four Generation I games: Pokémon Red, Green, Blue, and Yellow. They are also available in all iterations of the original [[Kanto]] plot and can all be obtained in a single save file in Pokémon Yellow;<br />
** {{p|Espeon}} could have been obtained as an {{p|Eevee}} in [[Celadon City]], and Eevee notably serves as {{ga|Blue}}'s [[first partner Pokémon]] in Pokémon Yellow;<br />
** {{p|Lapras}} is given away by a [[Silph Co.]] employee shortly before [[Team Rocket]] is defeated there;<br />
** Two {{p|Snorlax}} are required to be caught or defeated in order to travel to [[Fuchsia City]]. Furthermore, in the Generation II games and Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, only the Snorlax that was previously blocking {{rt|12|Kanto}} (now blocking the entrance to [[Diglett's Cave]]) is available to the {{player}}, suggesting that Red caught the one blocking {{rt|16|Kanto}}.<br />
*** In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, apart from his Venusaur and Blastoise being fully evolved, Red's team is identical to that of [[Ash Ketchum]] throughout most of the [[S02|Orange Islands]] arc.<br />
*** Also in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, the four game mascots all know their [[Generation III]] [[signature move]]s: Venusaur, Charizard, and Blastoise know {{m|Frenzy Plant}}, {{m|Blast Burn}} and {{m|Hydro Cannon}}, respectively, while Pikachu knows {{m|Volt Tackle}}. Furthermore, his Pikachu's moveset coincides with the four moves that [[Ash's Pikachu]] used during ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]'': Volt Tackle, {{m|Quick Attack}}, {{m|Iron Tail}}, and {{m|Thunderbolt}}.<br />
* All six of the Pokémon that Red uses in the core series from HeartGold and SoulSilver to Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon are capable of [[Gigantamax]] in Sword and Shield.<br />
* In HeartGold and SoulSilver, Red's [[level]] 88 [[Red's Pikachu|Pikachu]] is the highest-leveled Pokémon owned by a non-player character outside of [[Battle facility|battle facilities]], tied with [[Cynthia's Garchomp]] during the second [[rematch]] in {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}.<br />
** However, the level of several NPCs' Pokémon in {{4v|Black|White}} are variable and can exceed that of the two, depending on the level of the Pokémon that is [[in-game trade#Generation V|traded]] to them.<br />
* When Red is encountered at the summit of Mt. Silver during Generation II and Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, he has no speech, merely repeating sets of {{wp|ellipsis|ellipses}} <!--2 sets of regular 3-dot ellipses in English GSC and 2 sets of 18-dot ellipses in English HGSS; 10 sets (GSC)/6 sets (HGSS) sets of 2 midline horizontal ellipses each in the Japanese versions--> before beginning the {{pkmn|battle}}. This is a reference to his silent role in [[Generation I]], as he only answered choice questions like <sc>Yes</sc> or <sc>No</sc>. This unique characteristic remains in later [[generation]]s.<br />
** In FireRed and LeafGreen, {{ga|Blue}} sarcastically calls him a "chatty gossip".<br />
*** Blue also jokes about this in Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon.<br />
** Despite this, {{DL|Copycat (character)|Quotes|dialogue that ensues}} when talking to {{OBP|Copycat|character}} in Generation I and FireRed and LeafGreen implies that Red is speaking.<br />
*** Also, only in the Spanish version of HeartGold and SoulSilver, the line "<Trainer> used one <item>!" for opponents using items in battle was localized as "<Trainer>: ¡Voy a usar <item>!" ("<Trainer>: I'm going to use <item>!"), thus causing Red to speak when using an item in battle.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5F1hpXj3f-Q</ref><br />
*** In [[Pokémon Masters EX]], while primarily silent, {{mas|Red}} has {{DL|Red (game)/Quotes|Pokémon Masters EX|several spoken lines of dialogue}}.<br />
* Much like there is minimal information on his {{Ash|animated series counterpart}}'s father, Red's father is mentioned only briefly when examining an {{wp|Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES}} at the [[Celadon Department Store]] in the Generation I games and FireRed and LeafGreen.<br />
* In HeartGold and SoulSilver, Red is the only {{pkmn|Trainer}} who uses the {{pkmn|battle}} transition effect from Generation II.<br />
* All of his animation and manga counterparts also have owned a Pikachu, with {{Zensho|Satoshi}} from Pokémon Zensho being the only one who evolved his one into a {{p|Raichu}}.<br />
* Along with Blue, [[Lance]], and the Generation I and III Kanto [[Gym Leader]]s (excluding [[Giovanni]] and [[Koga]]), Red has appeared in almost every [[generation]] of the [[Pokémon games]], with six out of nine so far. He is the only protagonist with this feat.<br />
* Red and Lance share the same unique {{pkmn|Champion}} battle music in [[Johto]]-based games and Pokémon Black 2 and White 2's [[Champions Tournament]].<br />
* Red's T-shirt in Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon bears the number 96, referencing the original Japanese release year of Pokémon Red and Green.<br />
* Red is the only protagonist to be battled, as an NPC, outside of the generation he was introduced in.<br />
* A Trainer closely resembling an older Red briefly appears in {{DetPikMov}}, where he is shown in a promotional advertisement on the train to [[Ryme City]]. This Trainer is played by Japanese actor Ryoma Takeuchi.<br />
<br />
==Names==<br />
[[File:GameFreak 1997 fanbook MC Satoshi.jpg|thumb|200px|Scan from the ''[[Official Fan Book of Pocket Monsters]]'' in which Red is called '''サトシ''' ''Satoshi'']]<br />
'''Red''' is the primary name used for this character in [[core series]] [[Non-player character|NPC]] appearances since [[Generation II]], as well as in {{g|Stadium 2}}, {{g|Masters EX}}, and in the game data of {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} and {{game|Emerald}}. <br />
<br />
The name '''{{Ash}}''' (Japanese: '''サトシ''' ''Satoshi''), after the protagonist of ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' and {{DL|Pokémon the Series|related media}}, is also used, particularly in early media. It is one of the [[#Optional names|optional names]] for Red in [[Generation I]] and is used in ''[[Pokémon: Official Nintendo Player's Guide]]''.<ref group="lower-alpha">[[:File:Ash Gary game.png|Red and Blue called "Ash" and "Gary" in the Nintendo Power guide]]. (Nintendo Power, 1998).</ref> <br />
<br />
In ''[[Pokémon Gold and Silver: Official Nintendo Player's Guide]]'', the name Red is mainly used, though Ash is also used at some point. In ''[[Pokémon Crystal: Official Nintendo Player's Guide]]'', some content was reused but the name "Ash" was edited out.<ref group="lower-alpha">''"Pokémon Gold & Silver also feature the world of Kanto, which '''Ash''' explored in Pokémon Red, Blue and Yellow."'' (Pokémon Gold and Silver guidebook, page 4) ''"Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal also feature the world of Kanto, which '''originally appeared''' in Pokémon Red, Blue and Yellow."'' (Pokémon Crystal guidebook, page 4)</ref><br />
<br />
Other names and terms have also been used in various languages:<br />
* The English {{game|Red and Blue|s}} manuals address the player directly as "you". <br />
* Game screenshots in the official game manuals use the names '''Blue'''{{sup/1|RB}}, '''{{Ash}}'''{{sup/1|Y}}, '''Red'''{{sup/3|FR}}, and '''Green'''{{sup/3|LG}}. <br />
* The Japanese game manuals include text that name the player based on the respective Japanese game version, '''レッド''' ''Red''{{sup/1|JR}}, '''グリーン''' ''Green''{{sup/1|G}}, '''ブルー''' ''Blue''{{sup/1|JB}}, and '''イエロー''' ''Yellow''{{sup/1|Y}}<ref group="lower-alpha">[[:File:Yellow manual story.jpg|Image of Red named '''イエロー''' (''Yellow'') in the manual of Pokémon Yellow]].</ref>. <br />
* Japanese {{pkmn|playing cards}} use a couple different names and terms: '''レッド''' ''Red'' (Pokémon Red deck), '''グリーン''' ''Green''<ref group="lower-alpha">[[:File:Red playing card.jpg|Image of Red named '''グリーン''' (''Green'') on a playing card from the Pokémon Green deck released in Japan]].</ref> (Pokémon Green deck), and simply '''主人公しゅじんこう''' ''player character'' (Pokémon Red, Green, Blue, and Yellow decks).<br />
* Some placeholder names are used in the game data: '''Ninten'''{{sup/1|RBY}} (Japanese: '''やまぐち''' ''Yamaguchi''{{sup/1|RG}}; '''ゲーフリ''' ''Gēfuri''{{sup/1|JB}}; ゲーフリ1 Gēfuri1{{sup/1|Y}})<br />
* '''オサム''' (''Osamu'') is used in screenshots of {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} on the official Japanese Pokémon website.<br />
* In the Spanish version of FireRed, LeafGreen, and {{game|Emerald}}, Red's placeholder name has the syllables reversed: he is known as "Joro" instead of "Rojo". <br />

'''Red's Pikachu''' (Japanese: '''レッドのピカチュウ''' ''Red's Pikachu'') is typically {{ga|Red}}'s [[List of the player's first Pokémon|first Pokémon]] in various media. It is based on [[Ash's Pikachu]] from ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'', and it is one of Red's signature Pokémon.<br />
<br />
==In the core series games==<br />
===Pokémon Yellow===<br />
{{main|Pikachu (Yellow)}}<br />
[[File:Red Pikachu Yellow debut.png|thumb|Pikachu first appearing as a [[wild Pokémon]]]]<br />
Pikachu first appears along the outskirts of {{rt|1|Kanto}}, where [[Professor Oak]] will encounter and {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} it. When the player visits [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]], Oak had intended to give an {{p|Eevee}} to the player to start their Pokémon journey, but his impatient grandson {{ga|Blue}} takes it instead. So that the player still has a Pokémon, Oak gives the player the Pikachu he just caught instead. After battling against Blue for the first time, the Pikachu chooses to stay out of its {{i|Poké Ball}} and [[walking Pokémon|follow the player]] as long as it is in the party and not fainted.<br />
<br />
===As an non-player character===<br />
In {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, Red can be battled in [[Mt. Silver Cave]] with a level 81 Pikachu on his team. At the time, his Pikachu was the highest leveled Pokémon that could be battled in the main series. This Pikachu is likely to have been based on Red's Pikachu from Pokémon Yellow. Although Red doesn't use his Pikachu when battled in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], he still makes a cameo appearance during the game's end credits, battling {{ga|Blue}}'s {{p|Eevee}}.<br />
<br />
Red's challenge at Mt. Silver returns in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}. He still uses Pikachu in these games; he is now level 88. Again, at the time, Pikachu was the highest level Trainer-owned Pokémon in the series. In the final battle, he is holding a [[Light Ball]], while he knows the four moves used by [[Ash's Pikachu]] most often prior to the release of the games, during ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]''. <br />
<br />
Red can be battled in the [[Champions Tournament]] of [[Pokémon World Tournament]] in {{B2W2}}. He uses his Pikachu as his signature Pokémon once again in the battle, though it, like all opponent Pokémon in the PWT, varies in gender.<br />
<br />
Red can be battled in {{game4|SMUSUM}}. He uses his Pikachu when battled at the entrance of the [[Battle Tree]]. However, Pikachu is not in Red's pool of usable Pokémon inside the Battle Tree proper. He can also be battled in {{LGPE}}, once again using Pikachu as the leading member of his team.<br />

<br />

He is the final opponent in the [[Generation II]] games {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, their [[Generation IV]] remakes {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, and {{g|Stadium 2}}. He is a participant in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]]'s [[Champions Tournament]] in {{B2W2}} and works as a boss of the [[Battle Tree]] alongside {{ga|Blue}} in the [[Generation VII]] games {{pkmn|Sun and Moon|Sun, Moon}}, {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon}}. In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], he appears as the highest-level Trainer in the game, capable of being challenged after defeating six [[Master Trainer]]s.<br />

In the player's story as seen in the Japanese game manuals from [[Generation I]], the player name refers to the name of the current game: '''{{j|レッド}}'''{{sup/1|R}}, '''{{j|グリーン}}'''{{sup/1|G}}, '''{{j|ブルー}}'''{{sup/1|B}}, or '''{{j|イエロー}}'''{{sup/1|Y}} (''Red'', ''Green'', ''Blue'', or ''Yellow''). However, this was adapted as "'''you'''" instead in the English version. For instance:<br />
<br />
* In the Japanese manuals of the Generation I games:<br />
*:「'''レッド'''({{ruby|主人公|しゅじんこう}})は11{{ruby|歳|さい}}」 ('''''Red''' (player character) is 11 years old.''){{sup/1|R}}<br />
*:「'''グリーン'''({{ruby|主人公|しゅじんこう}})は11{{ruby|歳|さい}}」 ('''''Green''' (player character) is 11 years old.''){{sup/1|G}}<br />
*:「'''ブルー'''({{ruby|主人公|しゅじんこう}})は11{{ruby|歳|さい}}」 ('''''Blue''' (player character) is 11 years old.''){{sup/1|B}}<br />
*:「'''イエロー'''({{ruby|主人公|しゅじんこう}})は11{{ruby|歳|さい}}」 ('''''Yellow''' (player character) is 11 years old.''){{sup/1|Y}}<br />
* In the English manuals (except his age is not mentioned in Pokémon Yellow's English manual):<br />
*: ''"'''You''' are an 11-old boy [...]"''{{sup/1|RB}}<br />
<br />
In the Japanese {{pkmn|playing cards}}, he is named '''{{j|レッド}}''' (''Red'') in the Pokémon Red deck and '''{{j|グリーン}}''' (''Green'') in the Pokémon Green deck. The text {{ruby|主人公|しゅじんこう}} (''player character'') also appears on his card from both the Red and Green decks. However, in the Pokémon Blue and Yellow decks released later, he is unnamed and simply referred to with this Japanese text meaning "player character".<br />
<br />
In some game screenshots from the English manuals, the male player character is named '''Blue'''{{sup/1|RB}}, '''{{Ash}}'''{{sup/1|Y}}, '''Red'''{{sup/3|FR}}, or '''Green'''{{sup/3|LG}} (while the {{ga|Leaf|female player character}} is named Fire{{sup/3|FR}} or Leaf{{sup/3|LG}}).<br />
<br />
He was also named '''Ash''' (Japanese: '''{{j|サトシ}}''' ''Satoshi'') in some early official media, sharing the name of {{Ash|his anime counterpart}}. This is also found in the list of default names. The Japanese version is also the name of the [[Satoshi Tajiri|creator of the franchise]] and one of Red's default names.<br />
* In the ''Official Fan Book of Pocket Monsters'' (Japanese: '''{{j|ポケットモンスター公式ファンブック}}''') from 1997, the player is named '''サトシ''' (''Satoshi'') according to [[Game Freak]], in which his appearance (as well as [[Professor Oak]] and [[Giovanni]]) in the then-upcoming {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} games was teased.<ref>[http://hakuda2.web.fc2.com/ir/poke4/b5.html ボツポケモン応援隊] ([https://archive.is/JR0Yn archived copy])</ref> This may indicate that this name was originally considered for this game character.<br />
* In ''[[Pokémon: Official Nintendo Player's Guide]]'' (Nintendo Power, 1998), the player is named '''Ash''' (while the rival is named Gary at this point).<br />
* In ''[[Pokémon Gold and Silver: Official Nintendo Player's Guide]]'' (Nintendo Power, 2000), he is usually named '''Red''' in several sections explaining the story and mechanics of the games, except he is also named '''Ash''' at some point. In ''[[Pokémon Crystal: Official Nintendo Player's Guide]]'' (Nintendo Power, 2001), some content was reused but the name "Ash" was edited out:<br />
*: ''"Pokémon Gold & Silver also feature the world of Kanto, which '''Ash''' explored in Pokémon Red, Blue and Yellow."'' (Pokémon Gold and Silver guidebook, page 4)<br />
*: ''"Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal also feature the world of Kanto, which '''originally appeared''' in Pokémon Red, Blue and Yellow."'' (Pokémon Crystal guidebook, page 4)<br />
<br />
In the [[Super Smash Bros. series]], the male version of the character known only as "{{OBP|Pokémon Trainer|Super Smash Bros.}}" is based on Red.<br />
<br />
He is also known by some other placeholder names, which are stored in the game data but not available in normal gameplay: '''[[Nintendo|Ninten]]'''{{sup/1|RBY}} (Japanese: '''やまぐち''' ''Yamaguchi''{{sup/1|RG}}; '''ゲーフリ''' ''Gēfuri''{{sup/1|B}}; '''ゲーフリ1''' ''Gēfuri1''{{sup/1|Y}}). At least in Generation I, there are some hidden game mechanics that would display this name, therefore it should become visible if some {{wp|Random-access memory|RAM}} {{wp|memory address|addresses}} were changed.<ref>[http://acmlm.kafuka.org/board/thread.php?pid=18912#18912 Intresting and funny in Pokemon Red Acmlmboard]</ref><br />
<br />
* The English "'''Ninten'''" is short for [[Nintendo]], while the rival's placeholder name is "Sony" in those games. This references the fact that in the years surrounding the releases of the Generation I games, Sony was Nintendo's main competition. {{wb|Ninten}} is also the default name of the main protagonist of {{wb|Mother (video game)|Mother}}, a game developed by [[Creatures, Inc.]].<br />
* The Japanese '''やまぐち''' (''Yamaguchi'') refers to Wataru Yamaguchi, an art director that worked on the original games.<br />
* The Japanese '''ゲーフリ''' (''Gēfuri'') and '''ゲーフリ1''' (''Gēfuri1'') refer to [[Game Freak]] (Japanese: ゲームフリーク ''Gēmu Furīku'').<br />
<br />
In some screenshots of Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen on the Japanese website pokemon.co.jp, the player is named '''オサム''' (''Osamu'').<ref>[https://www.pokemon.co.jp/game/gba/fl/item.html ポケットモンスター ファイアレッド・リーフグリーン - Pokémon.co.jp]</ref><br />
<br />
In the Spanish version of FireRed, LeafGreen, and Emerald, his placeholder name has the syllables reversed: he is known as "Joro" instead of "Rojo" (while his {{ga|Leaf|female counterpart}} is known as "Jaho" instead of "Hoja").<br />
<br />
==In the core series games==<br />
{{spoilers}}<br />
Red is introduced as a curious 11-year-old boy from [[Pallet Town]]. According to the instruction manuals of {{3v2|Red|Green|Blue}}, Red gained an interest in Pokémon after his best friend, {{ga|Blue}}, stopped playing with him and became a bully, although in the games [[Professor Oak]] says the two have been rivals since infancy. His adventure begins one day when Professor Oak calls the two to his lab for a [[first partner Pokémon]]. Red has a choice of a {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, or {{p|Squirtle}}{{sup/1|G}}{{sup/1|RB}}{{sup/3|FRLG}}. Depending on the Pokémon that Red chooses, Blue will choose the Pokémon that has a type advantage over it{{sup/1|G}}{{sup/1|RB}}{{sup/3|FRLG}}. In {{game|Yellow}}, Red was originally intended to get an {{p|Eevee}}, which was swiped by Blue. As a result, Blue keeps the Eevee and Red receives a {{OBP|Pikachu|Yellow}} that Professor Oak caught earlier{{sup/1|Y}}. Blue challenges Red to a battle immediately to test out his new Pokémon, thinking he will easily beat Red.<br />
<br />
After Red has made his way to [[Viridian City]] to the north and taken [[Parcel|a package]] back to Oak in Pallet Town, Oak gives Red and Blue each a [[Pokédex]] with which to record data on all known Pokémon in the Kanto region to fulfill Oak's dream of creating a full guide on all Pokémon in Kanto. From here, Red and Blue journey across Kanto, collecting Pokémon to build up their teams, and defeating each of the [[Gym Leader]]s in turn, with Blue always one step ahead, showing up from time to time to impede Red's progress.<br />
<br />
Red also comes across a gang of Pokémon thieves, [[Team Rocket]], several times through his journey. He first encounters them trying to steal fossils within Mt. Moon. Then he encounters a member who is running the Nugget Bridge challenge to recruit for the organization on {{rt|24|Kanto}}; and another lone member who has stolen a [[TM]] from a family in [[Cerulean City]]. Eventually, Red uncovers a plot by Team Rocket, infiltrating their [[Team Rocket Hideout|hideout]] beneath the [[Celadon Game Corner]] and encountering their boss, [[Giovanni]]. Defeating him and ousting Team Rocket from Celadon, Red uses the [[Silph Scope]] that Giovanni leaves behind to battle {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon and save [[Mr. Fuji]] in the [[Pokémon Tower]] in [[Lavender Town]], who is being held hostage by Team Rocket. Red soon journeys into Saffron City in the heart of Kanto to find it overrun by Team Rocket, who is attempting to take the recently invented [[Master Ball]] from the [[Silph Co.]] President, and defeats Giovanni again, ending the group's plots for the time being.<br />
<br />
With seven Badges in hand, Red encounters Giovanni for the final time—this time as the [[Gym Leader|Leader]] of the [[Viridian Gym]], his final obstacle before the [[Elite Four]] of [[Indigo Plateau]]. Red defeats him in battle, earning his eighth and final Badge—the {{Badge|Earth}}. He disbands Team Rocket, promising to go into solo training to become a better Trainer.<br />
<br />
Making it through {{ka|Victory Road}} and finally to Indigo Plateau, Red challenges the [[Indigo League]]. First, he defeats the Elite Four and discovers, to his surprise, that Blue has defeated them before him and is therefore the {{pkmn|Champion}} of Kanto. Red defeats Blue in the final battle, becoming the Champion himself, but then continues his training, rather than staying at Indigo Plateau. Encountering an offshoot of Team Rocket in the southern [[Sevii Islands]], lead by Executive [[Archer]], Red reveals with his Earth Badge that Giovanni has disbanded the organization, and, though defeated, the group there intends to revive Team Rocket and bring Giovanni back, having already made plans to force Pokémon to evolve with radio waves.<br />
<br />
Red continues as a wandering Trainer, eventually making his way to [[Mt. Silver Cave]], where he trains his Pokémon alone. In the process, he becomes so distant from the people close to him that he does not even talk to his mom via phone anymore.<br />
<br />
Eventually, {{ga|Ethan}}, {{ga|Kris}}, or {{ga|Lyra}} arrives at Mt. Silver Cave and challenges Red, identified only as a [[Pokémon Trainer]]. If defeated, Red vanishes from Mt. Silver, and returns every time the Elite Four is defeated again by the player of Gold, Silver, Crystal, HeartGold, or SoulSilver.<br />
<br />
Some time later, Red has been shown to finally come back into public life, as he enters the [[Champions Tournament]] of the [[Pokémon World Tournament]] in the [[Unova]] region. In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon]], {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon}}, a visibly older Red is invited to work as the boss of [[Alola]]'s [[Battle Tree]] along with Blue. When {{ga|Elio}} or {{ga|Selene}} first visits the Battle Tree, they will encounter Red and Blue and battle one of them. After Red{{sup/7|SMUSUM}} or Blue{{sup/7|USUM}} is defeated at the Battle Tree proper, Red will reward the player with a full set of Kanto first partner Pokémon [[Mega Stone]]s.<br />
<br />
Red makes an appearance in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]]. In this continuity, he and Blue completed their journeys and defeated the Elite Four years before the player character started their journey. If the player has defeated at least six [[Master Trainer]]s and has six Pokémon in their [[party]], Red can be found in front of the Pokémon League building at Indigo Plateau, where he may be challenged to a battle. Like during all Master Trainer battles, the player isn't allowed to use [[item]]s from their [[Bag]] during this battle. After being defeated, Red will grant the player the title of [[Pokémon Master|Battle Master]] before leaving, though he will reappear for a [[rematch]] each time the player defeats the Elite Four.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon===<br />
As the player character, Red can have on his team any of the 151 Pokémon available during [[Generation I]]. In [[Generation III]], he can have any of the 386 Pokémon available at that time, though only after the player has obtained the [[National Pokédex]].<br />
<br />
When he is encountered as an opponent in [[Generation II]] and [[Generation IV]], Red has a set team, based on Generation I in-game event Pokémon, and has the highest leveled trained Pokémon yet encountered in the series, with his {{TP|Red|Pikachu}} at level 81 in Generation II and at level 88 in Generation IV. In HeartGold and SoulSilver, when he is defeated, all Pokémon in the player's party receive the {{DL|List of Ribbons in the games|Legend Ribbon}}.<br />
<br />
In {{B2W2}}, he can be fought in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]]'s [[Champions Tournament]], using the same team he did in Generation IV, albeit with different movesets.<br />
<br />
In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon]], {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon}}, Red once again uses his team from Generation IV, just with altered movesets. When battled in the [[Battle Tree]] proper, Red will use a randomly selected team from a preset selection of Pokémon.<br />
<br />
In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], Red's team has notable differences to his previous [[core series]] teams, replacing {{p|Charizard}} and {{p|Blastoise}} which now appear as the highest levelled Pokémon in {{ga|Blue}} and {{ga|Green}}'s teams respectively.<br />

==In the side series games==<br />
===[[Pokémon Stadium 2]]===<br />
Red appears in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]]. He can be battled in the Kanto [[Gym Leader Castle]] after the player has defeated all eight Kanto Gym Leaders, being the final opponent the player must defeat in order to clear the Gym Leader Castle challenge.<br />
<br />
During the game's end credits, he is seen having a battle with {{ga|Blue}}.<br />
<br />
====Pokémon====<br />
Red uses vastly different sets of Pokémon than in any of his other appearances, only sharing a couple Pokémon with the teams he uses in the [[core series]]. Notably, this is the only game where he's not seen using {{TP|Red|his Pikachu|Pikachu}}. In Round 2, each of his Pokémon knows {{m|Hidden Power}}.<br />

===Pokémon Colosseum and XD: Gale of Darkness===<br />
Red makes an appearance in both [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]]. While he does not appear in the games' Story Mode, he is playable in the Battle Mode when a FireRed or LeafGreen cartridge is used, with a male player character chosen. He can take on Mt. Battle's 100-battle challenge, as well as compete in Colosseum battles.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Battle Revolution===<br />
Red made a brief appearance in the debut trailer of [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]], having a [[Double Battle]] against {{ga|Leaf}}, using a {{p|Deoxys}} in its Attack Forme and a {{p|Wailord}}. Despite this, he didn't appear in the final cut of the game.<br />
<br />
==In the spin-off games==<br />
===[[Super Smash Bros. series]]===<br />
[[File:Pokemon Trainer Brawl.png|thumb|250px|left|Red in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] with his Pokémon]]<br />
[[File:Pokemon Trainer SSBU.png|thumb|250px|Red in [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]]]<br />
====Pokémon Trainer====<br />
{{main|Pokémon Trainer (Super Smash Bros.)}}<br />
Red is known as the "Pokémon Trainer" in the [[Super Smash Bros. series]]. He has a team consisting of {{p|Squirtle}}, {{p|Ivysaur}}, and {{p|Charizard}}. Rather than fighting himself like most other characters, Red sends his three Pokémon into battle, switching between them in order.<br />
<br />
Red debuted as a playable character in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]. He was absent from [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]], the only game in the series where his {{SSB|Charizard}} is available as an individual fighter. Red returned as a playable character in [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]], and additionally {{ga|Leaf}} debuted as part of his palette swaps, sharing the same title of "Pokémon Trainer". Red is voiced by [[Michele Knotz]] and [[Billy Bob Thompson]] in the English versions of [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]] and [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate|Ultimate]] respectively, and 半場友恵 ''[[Tomoe Hanba]]'' in the Japanese versions.<br />
<br />
====Other references====<br />
* Red's hat appears as an alternate outfit worn by {{SSB|Pikachu}} from [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]] onward, possibly in specific reference to {{game|Yellow}} (which, in turn, was inspired by the anime).<br />
* In [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]], Red is featured as a trophy to represent Pokémon Trainers.<br />
<br />
===[[Pokémon GO]]===<br />
{{main|Style (GO)}}<br />
For [[Pokémon Day]] 2018, Red's outfit from {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} was released as free style option in [[Pokémon GO]].<br />
<br />
===[[Pokémon Masters EX]]===<br />
{{main|Red (Masters)}}<br />
Red, who is based on the [[player character]], forms a [[sync pair]] with {{TP|Red|Charizard}}, {{p|Snorlax}}, {{TP|Red|Pikachu}}, {{p|Articuno}}, and {{p|Venusaur}} in [[Pokémon Masters EX]]. His Charizard is capable of [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolving]] into Mega Charizard X, while his Snorlax and Pikachu are both capable of [[Gigantamax]]ing, and his Venusaur is capable of [[Dynamax]]ing. Red became a playable sync pair on February 28, 2020.<br />
<br />
In this game, Red is indirectly responsible for the creation of the [[Pokémon Masters League]], as him defeating [[Lear]] before the events of the game was what inspired Lear to create [[Pasio]] and the PML in order to get another chance at beating him. Red first appeared as an NPC during the second chapter of [[PML Arc]]. He also made notable appearances later in the PML Arc, and the [[Villain Arc]]. Unlike in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, both Red and {{mas|Leaf}} coexist in this game.<br />

==Quotes==<br />
{{main|Red (game)/Quotes}}<br />
<br />
==Optional names==<br />
When starting a new game of {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, if the player leaves the name writing screen without any written name, or with a name composed entirely of empty spaces, [[Professor Oak]] says, "Right... So your name is <optional name>", suggesting one of the 19 available names; there are 24 names in total, but there are 5 exclusive to FireRed and 5 exclusive to LeafGreen. The player may answer "Yes" to accept the suggested name, or "No" to return to the name writing screen.<br />

==In the TFG==<br />
There are three {{TFG|Trainer figure|Trainer figures}} based on Red with his design from {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, except with different names and colors.<br />
<br />
* {{TFG ID|Next Quest|Red|42}} (Japanese: レッド ''Red'') from {{TFG|Next Quest}}, wearing his usual red clothes.<br />
* {{TFG ID|Groundbreakers|Green|39}} (Japanese: グリーン ''Green'') from {{TFG|Groundbreakers}}, with green hat, shirt and shoes.<br />
* {{TFG ID|Unnamed Third Set|Yellow|42}} (Japanese: イエロー ''Yellow''), from the {{TFG|Unnamed Third Set}}, with yellow hat, shirt and shoes.<br />
<br />
The Red figure is part of the single released set, Next Quest. The other two sets were not released, so the Green and Yellow figures were not released either.<br />

==Counterparts==<br />
===In the anime===<br />
====Main series====<br />
{{main|Ash Ketchum}}<br />
{{main|Ash Ketchum (M20)}}<br />
[[File:Ash debut.png|thumb|250px|Ash Ketchum, Red's {{pkmn|anime}} counterpart]]<br />
Red's loose [[Cross-canon counterpart|anime counterpart]], introduced in the [[EP001|first episode]], is the anime's main character, Ash Ketchum. Like Red, Ash is from Pallet Town, on a {{pkmn|journey}} to become a Pokémon Master. Unlike Red, Ash's journey did not end with Kanto, and Ash continued through every other region introduced in the [[core series]] games until [[Galar]], as well as the [[Orange Islands]] south of Kanto, taking the place of the player characters of Generation II during [[Johto]] and Generation V during [[Unova]], and being joined by the anime counterparts of {{ga|May}}, {{ga|Dawn}}, and {{ga|Serena}} during the Hoenn, Sinnoh, and Kalos sagas respectively. Instead of starting with one of the standard three Kanto first partner Pokémon, however, Ash began his journey with a {{AP|Pikachu}}, inspiring {{game|Yellow}}'s creation, as well as causing some to consider Red and Ash to be exactly the same person, most especially due to Red owning {{TP|Red|one|Pikachu}} as well.<br />
<br />
Red has another anime counterpart, {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|M20|an alternate Ash Ketchum}}, who appeared in ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'', ''[[M21|The Power of Us]]'', and ''[[M23|Secrets of the Jungle]]''; these {{pkmn|movie}}s are set in a timeline separate from the main series. This Ash shares the same basic characteristics as the main Ash, but goes on a different journey compared to the main series.<br />
{{-}}<br />
<br />
====Pokémon Origins====<br />
{{main|Red (Origins)}}<br />
[[File:Blaine Arcanine PO.png|thumb|left|250px|Red in [[Pokémon Origins]]]]<br />
Red also had a direct counterpart that appeared as the main character of the [[Pokémon Origins]] mini-series, which takes place in a separate continuity. This counterpart shared Red's name, in-game role, and design from FireRed and LeafGreen. The mini-series follows Red as he challenges the [[Indigo League]] and fights [[Team Rocket]] with his [[first partner Pokémon]], {{TP|Red|Charmander|Charizard}}.<br />
{{-}}<br />
<br />
====Pokémon Generations====<br />
[[File:Red PG.png|thumb|250px|Red in [[Pokémon Generations]]]]<br />
Another direct counterpart of Red appeared in [[Pokémon Generations]]. He first appeared in ''[[PG01|The Adventure]]'', where he {{pkmn2|caught}} a {{TP|Red|Pikachu}} in [[Viridian Forest]]. He then went on to experience various other adventures with his Pikachu across other regions, during which he encountered various {{pkmn2|wild}} and [[Legendary Pokémon]].<br />
<br />
Red briefly reappeared at the end of ''[[PG03|The Challenger]]'', having just defeated the [[Elite Four]] at [[Indigo Plateau]], and preparing to challenge {{ga|Blue}} for the title of the {{pkmn|Champion}}.<br />
<br />
Like the [[core series]] games, Red is not heard speaking during his appearances.<br />

==Trivia==<br />
* Red's title screen and profile front sprites from {{game|Red and Green|s}} correspond to his earlier [[Capsule Monsters]] artwork instead of his final [[Generation I]] artwork. His title screen sprite was updated in {{game|Blue| (Japanese)}} but the profile front sprite remained unchanged.<br />
** In {{game|Yellow}}, he has no title screen sprite and his front sprite is updated in part to match his official artwork and possibly in part to match [[Ash Ketchum]], his anime counterpart, as the frontal section of his hat has the same division in the middle as [[Ash's hat]] from the [[original series]].<br />
* Red's [[party]] in [[Generation II]], {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, {{B2W2}}, and {{game4|SMUSUM}} is based heavily on in-game events from the Generation I games and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}:<br />
** {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Venusaur}}, {{p|Blastoise}}, and {{p|Pikachu}} are the [[game mascot]]s of the four Generation I games: Pokémon Red, Green, Blue, and Yellow. They are also available in all iterations of the original [[Kanto]] plot and can all be obtained in a single save file in Pokémon Yellow;<br />
** {{p|Espeon}} could have been obtained as an {{p|Eevee}} in [[Celadon City]], and Eevee notably serves as {{ga|Blue}}'s [[first partner Pokémon]] in Pokémon Yellow;<br />
** {{p|Lapras}} is given away by a [[Silph Co.]] employee shortly before [[Team Rocket]] is defeated there;<br />
** Two {{p|Snorlax}} are required to be caught or defeated in order to travel to [[Fuchsia City]]. Furthermore, in the Generation II games and Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, only the Snorlax that was previously blocking {{rt|12|Kanto}} (now blocking the entrance to [[Diglett's Cave]]) is available to the {{player}}, suggesting that Red defeated and caught the one blocking {{rt|16|Kanto}}.<br />
*** In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, apart from his Venusaur and Blastoise being fully evolved, Red's team is identical to that of [[Ash Ketchum]] throughout most of the [[S02|Orange Islands]] anime arc.<br />
*** Also in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, the four game mascots all know their [[Generation III]] [[signature move]]s: Venusaur, Charizard, and Blastoise know {{m|Frenzy Plant}}, {{m|Blast Burn}} and {{m|Hydro Cannon}}, respectively, while Pikachu knows {{m|Volt Tackle}}. Furthermore, his Pikachu's moveset coincides with the four moves that [[Ash's Pikachu]] used during ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]'': Volt Tackle, {{m|Quick Attack}}, {{m|Iron Tail}}, and {{m|Thunderbolt}}.<br />
* All six of the Pokémon that Red uses in the core series from HeartGold and SoulSilver to Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon are capable of [[Gigantamax]] in Sword and Shield.<br />
* In HeartGold and SoulSilver, Red's [[level]] 88 [[Red's Pikachu|Pikachu]] is the highest-leveled Pokémon owned by a non-player character outside of [[Battle facility|battle facilities]], tied with [[Cynthia's Garchomp]] during the second [[rematch]] in {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}.<br />
** However, the level of several NPCs' Pokémon in {{4v|Black|White}} are variable and can exceed that of the two, depending on the level of the Pokémon that is [[in-game trade#Generation V|traded]] to them.<br />
* When Red is encountered at the summit of Mt. Silver during Generation II and Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, he has no speech, merely repeating sets of {{wp|ellipsis|ellipses}} <!--2 sets of regular 3-dot ellipses in English GSC and 2 sets of 18-dot ellipses in English HGSS; 10 sets (GSC)/6 sets (HGSS) sets of 2 midline horizontal ellipses each in the Japanese versions--> before beginning the {{pkmn|battle}}. This is a reference to his silent role in [[Generation I]], as he only answered choice questions like <sc>Yes</sc> or <sc>No</sc>. This unique characteristic remains in later [[generation]]s.<br />
** In FireRed and LeafGreen, {{ga|Blue}} sarcastically calls him a "chatty gossip".<br />
*** Blue also jokes about this in Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon.<br />
** Despite this, {{DL|Copycat (character)|Quotes|dialogue that ensues}} when talking to {{OBP|Copycat|character}} in Generation I and FireRed and LeafGreen implies that Red is speaking.<br />
*** Also, only in the Spanish version of HeartGold and SoulSilver, the line "<Trainer> used one <item>!" for opponents using items in battle was localized as "<Trainer>: ¡Voy a usar <item>!" ("<Trainer>: I'm going to use <item>!"), thus causing Red to speak when using an item in battle.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5F1hpXj3f-Q</ref><br />
*** In [[Pokémon Masters EX]], while primarily silent, {{mas|Red}} has {{DL|Red (game)/Quotes|Pokémon Masters EX|several spoken lines of dialogue}}.<br />
* Much like there is minimal information on his {{Ash|anime counterpart}}'s father, Red's father is mentioned only briefly when examining an {{wp|Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES}} at the [[Celadon Department Store]] in the Generation I games and FireRed and LeafGreen.<br />
* In HeartGold and SoulSilver, Red is the only {{pkmn|Trainer}} who uses the {{pkmn|battle}} transition effect from Generation II.<br />
* All of his anime and manga counterparts also have owned a Pikachu, with {{Zensho|Satoshi}} from Pokémon Zensho being the only one who evolved his one into a {{p|Raichu}}.<br />
* Along with Blue, [[Lance]], and the Generation I and III Kanto [[Gym Leader]]s (excluding [[Giovanni]] and [[Koga]]), Red has appeared in almost every [[generation]] of the [[Pokémon games]], with six out of nine so far. He is the only protagonist with this feat.<br />
* Red and Lance share the same unique {{pkmn|Champion}} battle music in [[Johto]]-based games and Pokémon Black 2 and White 2's [[Champions Tournament]].<br />
* Red's T-shirt in Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon bears the number 96, referencing the original Japanese release year of Pokémon Red and Green.<br />
* Red is the only protagonist to be battled, as an NPC, outside of the generation he was introduced in.<br />
* A Trainer closely resembling an older Red briefly appears in {{DetPikMov}}, where he is shown in a promotional advertisement on the train to [[Ryme City]]. This Trainer is played by Japanese actor Ryoma Takeuchi.<br />

'''Red's Pikachu''' (Japanese: '''レッドのピカチュウ''' ''Red's Pikachu'') is typically {{ga|Red}}'s [[List of the player's first Pokémon|first Pokémon]] in various media. It is based on [[Ash's Pikachu]] from ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'', and it is one of Red's signature Pokémon.<br />
<br />
==In the core series games==<br />
===Pokémon Yellow===<br />
{{main|Pikachu (Yellow)}}<br />
[[File:Red Pikachu Yellow debut.png|thumb|Pikachu first appearing as a [[wild Pokémon]]]]<br />
Pikachu first appears along the outskirts of {{rt|1|Kanto}}, where [[Professor Oak]] will encounter and {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} it. When the player visits [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]], Oak had intended to give an {{p|Eevee}} to the player to start their Pokémon journey, but his impatient grandson {{ga|Blue}} takes it instead. So that the player still has a Pokémon, Oak gives the player the Pikachu he just caught instead. After battling against Blue for the first time, the Pikachu chooses to stay out of its {{i|Poké Ball}} and [[walking Pokémon|follow the player]] as long as it is in the party and not fainted.<br />
<br />
===As an non-player character===<br />
In {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, Red can be battled in [[Mt. Silver Cave]] with a level 81 Pikachu on his team. At the time, his Pikachu was the highest leveled Pokémon that could be battled in the main series. This Pikachu is likely to have been based on Red's Pikachu from Pokémon Yellow. Although Red doesn't use his Pikachu when battled in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], he still makes a cameo appearance during the game's end credits, battling {{ga|Blue}}'s {{p|Eevee}}.<br />
<br />
Red's challenge at Mt. Silver returns in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}. He still uses Pikachu in these games; he is now level 88. Again, at the time, Pikachu was the highest level Trainer-owned Pokémon in the series. In the final battle, he is holding a [[Light Ball]], while he knows the four moves used by [[Ash's Pikachu]] most often prior to the release of the games, during ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]''. <br />
<br />
Red can be battled in the [[Champions Tournament]] of [[Pokémon World Tournament]] in {{B2W2}}. He uses his Pikachu as his signature Pokémon once again in the battle, though it, like all opponent Pokémon in the PWT, varies in gender.<br />
<br />
Red can be battled in {{game4|SMUSUM}}. He uses his Pikachu when battled at the entrance of the [[Battle Tree]]. However, Pikachu is not in Red's pool of usable Pokémon inside the Battle Tree proper. He can also be battled in {{LGPE}}, once again using Pikachu as the leading member of his team.<br />

'''Red's Pikachu''' (Japanese: '''レッドのピカチュウ''' ''Red's Pikachu'') is typically {{ga|Red}}'s [[List of the player's first Pokémon|first Pokémon]] in various media. It is based on [[Ash's Pikachu]] from ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'', and it is one of Red's signature Pokémon.<br />
<br />
==In the core series games==<br />
===Pokémon Yellow===<br />
{{main|Pikachu (Yellow)}}<br />
[[File:Red Pikachu Yellow debut.png|thumb|Pikachu first appearing as a [[wild Pokémon]]]]<br />
Pikachu first appears along the outskirts of {{rt|1|Kanto}}, where [[Professor Oak]] will encounter and {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} it. When the player visits [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]], Oak had intended to give an {{p|Eevee}} to the player to start their Pokémon journey, but his impatient grandson {{ga|Blue}} takes it instead. So that the player still has a Pokémon, Oak gives the player the Pikachu he just caught instead. After battling against Blue for the first time, the Pikachu chooses to stay out of its {{i|Poké Ball}} and [[walking Pokémon|follow the player]] as long as it is in the party and not fainted.<br />
<br />
===As an non-player character===<br />
In {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, Red can be battled in [[Mt. Silver Cave]] with a level 81 Pikachu on his team. At the time, his Pikachu was the highest leveled Pokémon that could be battled in the main series. This Pikachu is likely to have been based on Red's Pikachu from Pokémon Yellow. Although Red doesn't use his Pikachu when battled in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], he still makes a cameo appearance during the game's end credits, battling {{ga|Blue}}'s {{p|Eevee}}.<br />
<br />
Red's challenge at Mt. Silver returns in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}. He still uses Pikachu in these games; he is now level 88. Again, at the time, Pikachu was the highest level Trainer-owned Pokémon in the series. In the final battle, he is holding a [[Light Ball]], while he knows the four moves used by [[Ash's Pikachu]] most often prior to the release of the games, during ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]''. <br />
<br />
Red can be battled in the [[Champions Tournament]] of [[Pokémon World Tournament]] in {{B2W2}}. He uses his Pikachu as his signature Pokémon once again in the battle, though it, like all opponent Pokémon in the PWT, varies in gender.<br />
<br />
Red can be battled in {{game4|SMUSUM}}. He uses his Pikachu when battled at the entrance of the [[Battle Tree]]. However, Pikachu is not in Red's pool of usable Pokémon inside the Battle Tree proper. He can also be battled in {{LGPE}}, once again using Pikachu as the leading member of his team.<br />

In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], he appears as the highest-level Trainer in the game, capable of being challenged after defeating six [[Master Trainer]]s.<br />

<br />
While he had various names in [[Generation I]], from [[Generation II]] onwards he is referred to as '''Red''' (Japanese: '''{{j|レッド}}''' ''Red'') in several [[core series]] games where he appears as a [[non-player character]], in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], and he is known by {{mas|Red|the same name}} in [[Pokémon Masters EX]]. He is also known by this name in the game data of [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|Pokémon FireRed, LeafGreen]], and [[Pokémon Emerald Version|Emerald]], but this is not seen in normal gameplay. He was named after the [[Generation I]] game [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Pokémon Red]].<br />
<br />
In the player's story as seen in the Japanese game manuals from [[Generation I]], the player name refers to the name of the current game: '''{{j|レッド}}'''{{sup/1|R}}, '''{{j|グリーン}}'''{{sup/1|G}}, '''{{j|ブルー}}'''{{sup/1|B}}, or '''{{j|イエロー}}'''{{sup/1|Y}} (''Red'', ''Green'', ''Blue'', or ''Yellow''). However, this was adapted as "'''you'''" instead in the English version. For instance:<br />
<br />
* In the Japanese manuals of the Generation I games:<br />
*:「'''レッド'''({{ruby|主人公|しゅじんこう}})は11{{ruby|歳|さい}}」 ('''''Red''' (player character) is 11 years old.''){{sup/1|R}}<br />
*:「'''グリーン'''({{ruby|主人公|しゅじんこう}})は11{{ruby|歳|さい}}」 ('''''Green''' (player character) is 11 years old.''){{sup/1|G}}<br />
*:「'''ブルー'''({{ruby|主人公|しゅじんこう}})は11{{ruby|歳|さい}}」 ('''''Blue''' (player character) is 11 years old.''){{sup/1|B}}<br />
*:「'''イエロー'''({{ruby|主人公|しゅじんこう}})は11{{ruby|歳|さい}}」 ('''''Yellow''' (player character) is 11 years old.''){{sup/1|Y}}<br />
* In the English manuals (except his age is not mentioned in Pokémon Yellow's English manual):<br />
*: ''"'''You''' are an 11-old boy [...]"''{{sup/1|RB}}<br />
<br />
In the Japanese {{pkmn|playing cards}}, he is named '''{{j|レッド}}''' (''Red'') in the Pokémon Red deck and '''{{j|グリーン}}''' (''Green'') in the Pokémon Green deck. The text {{ruby|主人公|しゅじんこう}} (''player character'') also appears on his card from both the Red and Green decks. However, in the Pokémon Blue and Yellow decks released later, he is unnamed and simply referred to with this Japanese text meaning "player character".<br />
<br />
In some game screenshots from the English manuals, the male player character is named '''Blue'''{{sup/1|RB}}, '''{{Ash}}'''{{sup/1|Y}}, '''Red'''{{sup/3|FR}}, or '''Green'''{{sup/3|LG}} (while the {{ga|Leaf|female player character}} is named Fire{{sup/3|FR}} or Leaf{{sup/3|LG}}).<br />
<br />
He was also named '''Ash''' (Japanese: '''{{j|サトシ}}''' ''Satoshi'') in some early official media, sharing the name of {{Ash|his anime counterpart}}. This is also found in the list of default names. The Japanese version is also the name of the [[Satoshi Tajiri|creator of the franchise]] and one of Red's default names.<br />
* In the ''Official Fan Book of Pocket Monsters'' (Japanese: '''{{j|ポケットモンスター公式ファンブック}}''') from 1997, the player is named '''サトシ''' (''Satoshi'') according to [[Game Freak]], in which his appearance (as well as [[Professor Oak]] and [[Giovanni]]) in the then-upcoming {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} games was teased.<ref>[http://hakuda2.web.fc2.com/ir/poke4/b5.html ボツポケモン応援隊] ([https://archive.is/JR0Yn archived copy])</ref> This may indicate that this name was originally considered for this game character.<br />
* In ''[[Pokémon: Official Nintendo Player's Guide]]'' (Nintendo Power, 1998), the player is named '''Ash''' (while the rival is named Gary at this point).<br />
* In ''[[Pokémon Gold and Silver: Official Nintendo Player's Guide]]'' (Nintendo Power, 2000), he is usually named '''Red''' in several sections explaining the story and mechanics of the games, except he is also named '''Ash''' at some point. In ''[[Pokémon Crystal: Official Nintendo Player's Guide]]'' (Nintendo Power, 2001), some content was reused but the name "Ash" was edited out:<br />
*: ''"Pokémon Gold & Silver also feature the world of Kanto, which '''Ash''' explored in Pokémon Red, Blue and Yellow."'' (Pokémon Gold and Silver guidebook, page 4)<br />
*: ''"Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal also feature the world of Kanto, which '''originally appeared''' in Pokémon Red, Blue and Yellow."'' (Pokémon Crystal guidebook, page 4)<br />
<br />
In the [[Super Smash Bros. series]], the male version of the character known only as "{{OBP|Pokémon Trainer|Super Smash Bros.}}" is based on Red.<br />
<br />
He is also known by some other placeholder names, which are stored in the game data but not available in normal gameplay: '''[[Nintendo|Ninten]]'''{{sup/1|RBY}} (Japanese: '''やまぐち''' ''Yamaguchi''{{sup/1|RG}}; '''ゲーフリ''' ''Gēfuri''{{sup/1|B}}; '''ゲーフリ1''' ''Gēfuri1''{{sup/1|Y}}). At least in Generation I, there are some hidden game mechanics that would display this name, therefore it should become visible if some {{wp|Random-access memory|RAM}} {{wp|memory address|addresses}} were changed.<ref>[http://acmlm.kafuka.org/board/thread.php?pid=18912#18912 Intresting and funny in Pokemon Red Acmlmboard]</ref><br />
<br />
* The English "'''Ninten'''" is short for [[Nintendo]], while the rival's placeholder name is "Sony" in those games. This references the fact that in the years surrounding the releases of the Generation I games, Sony was Nintendo's main competition. {{wb|Ninten}} is also the default name of the main protagonist of {{wb|Mother (video game)|Mother}}, a game developed by [[Creatures, Inc.]].<br />
* The Japanese '''やまぐち''' (''Yamaguchi'') refers to Wataru Yamaguchi, an art director that worked on the original games.<br />
* The Japanese '''ゲーフリ''' (''Gēfuri'') and '''ゲーフリ1''' (''Gēfuri1'') refer to [[Game Freak]] (Japanese: ゲームフリーク ''Gēmu Furīku'').<br />
<br />
In some screenshots of Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen on the Japanese website pokemon.co.jp, the player is named '''オサム''' (''Osamu'').<ref>[https://www.pokemon.co.jp/game/gba/fl/item.html ポケットモンスター ファイアレッド・リーフグリーン - Pokémon.co.jp]</ref><br />
<br />
In the Spanish version of FireRed, LeafGreen, and Emerald, his placeholder name has the syllables reversed: he is known as "Joro" instead of "Rojo" (while his {{ga|Leaf|female counterpart}} is known as "Jaho" instead of "Hoja").<br />
<br />
==In the core series games==<br />
{{spoilers}}<br />
Red is introduced as a curious 11-year-old boy from [[Pallet Town]]. According to the instruction manuals of {{3v2|Red|Green|Blue}}, Red gained an interest in Pokémon after his best friend, {{ga|Blue}}, stopped playing with him and became a bully, although in the games [[Professor Oak]] says the two have been rivals since infancy. His adventure begins one day when Professor Oak calls the two to his lab for a [[first partner Pokémon]]. Red has a choice of a {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, or {{p|Squirtle}}{{sup/1|G}}{{sup/1|RB}}{{sup/3|FRLG}}. Depending on the Pokémon that Red chooses, Blue will choose the Pokémon that has a type advantage over it{{sup/1|G}}{{sup/1|RB}}{{sup/3|FRLG}}. In {{game|Yellow}}, Red was originally intended to get an {{p|Eevee}}, which was swiped by Blue. As a result, Blue keeps the Eevee and Red receives a {{OBP|Pikachu|Yellow}} that Professor Oak caught earlier{{sup/1|Y}}. Blue challenges Red to a battle immediately to test out his new Pokémon, thinking he will easily beat Red.<br />
<br />
After Red has made his way to [[Viridian City]] to the north and taken [[Parcel|a package]] back to Oak in Pallet Town, Oak gives Red and Blue each a [[Pokédex]] with which to record data on all known Pokémon in the Kanto region to fulfill Oak's dream of creating a full guide on all Pokémon in Kanto. From here, Red and Blue journey across Kanto, collecting Pokémon to build up their teams, and defeating each of the [[Gym Leader]]s in turn, with Blue always one step ahead, showing up from time to time to impede Red's progress.<br />
<br />
Red also comes across a gang of Pokémon thieves, [[Team Rocket]], several times through his journey. He first encounters them trying to steal fossils within Mt. Moon. Then he encounters a member who is running the Nugget Bridge challenge to recruit for the organization on {{rt|24|Kanto}}; and another lone member who has stolen a [[TM]] from a family in [[Cerulean City]]. Eventually, Red uncovers a plot by Team Rocket, infiltrating their [[Team Rocket Hideout|hideout]] beneath the [[Celadon Game Corner]] and encountering their boss, [[Giovanni]]. Defeating him and ousting Team Rocket from Celadon, Red uses the [[Silph Scope]] that Giovanni leaves behind to battle {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon and save [[Mr. Fuji]] in the [[Pokémon Tower]] in [[Lavender Town]], who is being held hostage by Team Rocket. Red soon journeys into Saffron City in the heart of Kanto to find it overrun by Team Rocket, who is attempting to take the recently invented [[Master Ball]] from the [[Silph Co.]] President, and defeats Giovanni again, ending the group's plots for the time being.<br />
<br />
With seven Badges in hand, Red encounters Giovanni for the final time—this time as the [[Gym Leader|Leader]] of the [[Viridian Gym]], his final obstacle before the [[Elite Four]] of [[Indigo Plateau]]. Red defeats him in battle, earning his eighth and final Badge—the {{Badge|Earth}}. He disbands Team Rocket, promising to go into solo training to become a better Trainer.<br />
<br />
Making it through {{ka|Victory Road}} and finally to Indigo Plateau, Red challenges the [[Indigo League]]. First, he defeats the Elite Four and discovers, to his surprise, that Blue has defeated them before him and is therefore the {{pkmn|Champion}} of Kanto. Red defeats Blue in the final battle, becoming the Champion himself, but then continues his training, rather than staying at Indigo Plateau. Encountering an offshoot of Team Rocket in the southern [[Sevii Islands]], lead by Executive [[Archer]], Red reveals with his Earth Badge that Giovanni has disbanded the organization, and, though defeated, the group there intends to revive Team Rocket and bring Giovanni back, having already made plans to force Pokémon to evolve with radio waves.<br />
<br />
Red continues as a wandering Trainer, eventually making his way to [[Mt. Silver Cave]], where he trains his Pokémon alone. In the process, he becomes so distant from the people close to him that he does not even talk to his mom via phone anymore.<br />
<br />
Eventually, {{ga|Ethan}}, {{ga|Kris}}, or {{ga|Lyra}} arrives at Mt. Silver Cave and challenges Red, identified only as a [[Pokémon Trainer]]. If defeated, Red vanishes from Mt. Silver, and returns every time the Elite Four is defeated again by the player of Gold, Silver, Crystal, HeartGold, or SoulSilver.<br />
<br />
Some time later, Red has been shown to finally come back into public life, as he enters the [[Champions Tournament]] of the [[Pokémon World Tournament]] in the [[Unova]] region. In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon]], {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon}}, a visibly older Red is invited to work as the boss of [[Alola]]'s [[Battle Tree]] along with Blue. When {{ga|Elio}} or {{ga|Selene}} first visits the Battle Tree, they will encounter Red and Blue and battle one of them. After Red{{sup/7|SMUSUM}} or Blue{{sup/7|USUM}} is defeated at the Battle Tree proper, Red will reward the player with a full set of Kanto first partner Pokémon [[Mega Stone]]s.<br />
<br />
Red makes an appearance in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]]. In this continuity, he and Blue completed their journeys and defeated the Elite Four years before the player character started their journey. If the player has defeated at least six [[Master Trainer]]s and has six Pokémon in their [[party]], Red can be found in front of the Pokémon League building at Indigo Plateau, where he may be challenged to a battle. Like during all Master Trainer battles, the player isn't allowed to use [[item]]s from their [[Bag]] during this battle. After being defeated, Red will grant the player the title of [[Pokémon Master|Battle Master]] before leaving, though he will reappear for a [[rematch]] each time the player defeats the Elite Four.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon===<br />
As the player character, Red can have on his team any of the 151 Pokémon available during [[Generation I]]. In [[Generation III]], he can have any of the 386 Pokémon available at that time, though only after the player has obtained the [[National Pokédex]].<br />
<br />
When he is encountered as an opponent in [[Generation II]] and [[Generation IV]], Red has a set team, based on Generation I in-game event Pokémon, and has the highest leveled trained Pokémon yet encountered in the series, with his {{TP|Red|Pikachu}} at level 81 in Generation II and at level 88 in Generation IV. In HeartGold and SoulSilver, when he is defeated, all Pokémon in the player's party receive the {{DL|List of Ribbons in the games|Legend Ribbon}}.<br />
<br />
In {{B2W2}}, he can be fought in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]]'s [[Champions Tournament]], using the same team he did in Generation IV, albeit with different movesets.<br />
<br />
In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon]], {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon}}, Red once again uses his team from Generation IV, just with altered movesets. When battled in the [[Battle Tree]] proper, Red will use a randomly selected team from a preset selection of Pokémon.<br />
<br />
In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], Red's team has notable differences to his previous [[core series]] teams, replacing {{p|Charizard}} and {{p|Blastoise}} which now appear as the highest levelled Pokémon in {{ga|Blue}} and {{ga|Green}}'s teams respectively.<br />

==In the side series games==<br />
===[[Pokémon Stadium 2]]===<br />
Red appears in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]]. He can be battled in the Kanto [[Gym Leader Castle]] after the player has defeated all eight Kanto Gym Leaders, being the final opponent the player must defeat in order to clear the Gym Leader Castle challenge.<br />
<br />
During the game's end credits, he is seen having a battle with {{ga|Blue}}.<br />
<br />
====Pokémon====<br />
Red uses vastly different sets of Pokémon than in any of his other appearances, only sharing a couple Pokémon with the teams he uses in the [[core series]]. Notably, this is the only game where he's not seen using {{TP|Red|his Pikachu|Pikachu}}. In Round 2, each of his Pokémon knows {{m|Hidden Power}}.<br />

===Pokémon Colosseum and XD: Gale of Darkness===<br />
Red makes an appearance in both [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]]. While he does not appear in the games' Story Mode, he is playable in the Battle Mode when a FireRed or LeafGreen cartridge is used, with a male player character chosen. He can take on Mt. Battle's 100-battle challenge, as well as compete in Colosseum battles.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Battle Revolution===<br />
Red made a brief appearance in the debut trailer of [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]], having a [[Double Battle]] against {{ga|Leaf}}, using a {{p|Deoxys}} in its Attack Forme and a {{p|Wailord}}. Despite this, he didn't appear in the final cut of the game.<br />
<br />
==In the spin-off games==<br />
===[[Super Smash Bros. series]]===<br />
[[File:Pokemon Trainer Brawl.png|thumb|250px|left|Red in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] with his Pokémon]]<br />
[[File:Pokemon Trainer SSBU.png|thumb|250px|Red in [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]]]<br />
====Pokémon Trainer====<br />
{{main|Pokémon Trainer (Super Smash Bros.)}}<br />
Red is known as the "Pokémon Trainer" in the [[Super Smash Bros. series]]. He has a team consisting of {{p|Squirtle}}, {{p|Ivysaur}}, and {{p|Charizard}}. Rather than fighting himself like most other characters, Red sends his three Pokémon into battle, switching between them in order.<br />
<br />
Red debuted as a playable character in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]. He was absent from [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]], the only game in the series where his {{SSB|Charizard}} is available as an individual fighter. Red returned as a playable character in [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]], and additionally {{ga|Leaf}} debuted as part of his palette swaps, sharing the same title of "Pokémon Trainer". Red is voiced by [[Michele Knotz]] and [[Billy Bob Thompson]] in the English versions of [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]] and [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate|Ultimate]] respectively, and 半場友恵 ''[[Tomoe Hanba]]'' in the Japanese versions.<br />
<br />
====Other references====<br />
* Red's hat appears as an alternate outfit worn by {{SSB|Pikachu}} from [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]] onward, possibly in specific reference to {{game|Yellow}} (which, in turn, was inspired by the anime).<br />
* In [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]], Red is featured as a trophy to represent Pokémon Trainers.<br />
<br />
===[[Pokémon GO]]===<br />

For [[Pokémon Day]] 2018, Red's outfit from {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} was released as free style option in [[Pokémon GO]].<br />

Red, who is based on the [[player character]], forms a [[sync pair]] with {{TP|Red|Charizard}}, {{p|Snorlax}}, {{TP|Red|Pikachu}}, {{p|Articuno}}, and {{p|Venusaur}} in [[Pokémon Masters EX]]. His Charizard is capable of [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolving]] into Mega Charizard X, while his Snorlax and Pikachu are both capable of [[Gigantamax]]ing, and his Venusaur is capable of [[Dynamax]]ing. Red became a playable sync pair on February 28, 2020.<br />
<br />
In this game, Red is indirectly responsible for the creation of the [[Pokémon Masters League]], as him defeating [[Lear]] before the events of the game was what inspired Lear to create [[Pasio]] and the PML in order to get another chance at beating him. Red first appeared as an NPC during the second chapter of [[PML Arc]]. He also made notable appearances later in the PML Arc, and the [[Villain Arc]]. Unlike in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, both Red and {{mas|Leaf}} coexist in this game.<br />

==Quotes==<br />
{{main|Red (game)/Quotes}}<br />
<br />
==Optional names==<br />
When starting a new game of {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, if the player leaves the name writing screen without any written name, or with a name composed entirely of empty spaces, [[Professor Oak]] says, "Right... So your name is <optional name>", suggesting one of the 19 available names; there are 24 names in total, but there are 5 exclusive to FireRed and 5 exclusive to LeafGreen. The player may answer "Yes" to accept the suggested name, or "No" to return to the name writing screen.<br />

==In the TFG==<br />
There are three {{TFG|Trainer figure|Trainer figures}} based on Red with his design from {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, except with different names and colors.<br />
<br />
* {{TFG ID|Next Quest|Red|42}} (Japanese: レッド ''Red'') from {{TFG|Next Quest}}, wearing his usual red clothes.<br />
* {{TFG ID|Groundbreakers|Green|39}} (Japanese: グリーン ''Green'') from {{TFG|Groundbreakers}}, with green hat, shirt and shoes.<br />
* {{TFG ID|Unnamed Third Set|Yellow|42}} (Japanese: イエロー ''Yellow''), from the {{TFG|Unnamed Third Set}}, with yellow hat, shirt and shoes.<br />
<br />
The Red figure is part of the single released set, Next Quest. The other two sets were not released, so the Green and Yellow figures were not released either.<br />

==Counterparts==<br />
===In the anime===<br />
====Main series====<br />
{{main|Ash Ketchum}}<br />
{{main|Ash Ketchum (M20)}}<br />
[[File:Ash debut.png|thumb|250px|Ash Ketchum, Red's {{pkmn|anime}} counterpart]]<br />
Red's loose [[Cross-canon counterpart|anime counterpart]], introduced in the [[EP001|first episode]], is the anime's main character, Ash Ketchum. Like Red, Ash is from Pallet Town, on a {{pkmn|journey}} to become a Pokémon Master. Unlike Red, Ash's journey did not end with Kanto, and Ash continued through every other region introduced in the [[core series]] games until [[Galar]], as well as the [[Orange Islands]] south of Kanto, taking the place of the player characters of Generation II during [[Johto]] and Generation V during [[Unova]], and being joined by the anime counterparts of {{ga|May}}, {{ga|Dawn}}, and {{ga|Serena}} during the Hoenn, Sinnoh, and Kalos sagas respectively. Instead of starting with one of the standard three Kanto first partner Pokémon, however, Ash began his journey with a {{AP|Pikachu}}, inspiring {{game|Yellow}}'s creation, as well as causing some to consider Red and Ash to be exactly the same person, most especially due to Red owning {{TP|Red|one|Pikachu}} as well.<br />
<br />
Red has another anime counterpart, {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|M20|an alternate Ash Ketchum}}, who appeared in ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'', ''[[M21|The Power of Us]]'', and ''[[M23|Secrets of the Jungle]]''; these {{pkmn|movie}}s are set in a timeline separate from the main series. This Ash shares the same basic characteristics as the main Ash, but goes on a different journey compared to the main series.<br />
{{-}}<br />
<br />
====Pokémon Origins====<br />
{{main|Red (Origins)}}<br />
[[File:Blaine Arcanine PO.png|thumb|left|250px|Red in [[Pokémon Origins]]]]<br />
Red also had a direct counterpart that appeared as the main character of the [[Pokémon Origins]] mini-series, which takes place in a separate continuity. This counterpart shared Red's name, in-game role, and design from FireRed and LeafGreen. The mini-series follows Red as he challenges the [[Indigo League]] and fights [[Team Rocket]] with his [[first partner Pokémon]], {{TP|Red|Charmander|Charizard}}.<br />
{{-}}<br />
<br />
====Pokémon Generations====<br />
[[File:Red PG.png|thumb|250px|Red in [[Pokémon Generations]]]]<br />
Another direct counterpart of Red appeared in [[Pokémon Generations]]. He first appeared in ''[[PG01|The Adventure]]'', where he {{pkmn2|caught}} a {{TP|Red|Pikachu}} in [[Viridian Forest]]. He then went on to experience various other adventures with his Pikachu across other regions, during which he encountered various {{pkmn2|wild}} and [[Legendary Pokémon]].<br />
<br />
Red briefly reappeared at the end of ''[[PG03|The Challenger]]'', having just defeated the [[Elite Four]] at [[Indigo Plateau]], and preparing to challenge {{ga|Blue}} for the title of the {{pkmn|Champion}}.<br />
<br />
Like the [[core series]] games, Red is not heard speaking during his appearances.<br />

==Trivia==<br />
* Red's title screen and profile front sprites from {{game|Red and Green|s}} correspond to his earlier [[Capsule Monsters]] artwork instead of his final [[Generation I]] artwork. His title screen sprite was updated in {{game|Blue| (Japanese)}} but the profile front sprite remained unchanged.<br />
** In {{game|Yellow}}, he has no title screen sprite and his front sprite is updated in part to match his official artwork and possibly in part to match [[Ash Ketchum]], his anime counterpart, as the frontal section of his hat has the same division in the middle as [[Ash's hat]] from the [[original series]].<br />
* Red's [[party]] in [[Generation II]], {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, {{B2W2}}, and {{game4|SMUSUM}} is based heavily on in-game events from the Generation I games and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}:<br />
** {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Venusaur}}, {{p|Blastoise}}, and {{p|Pikachu}} are the [[game mascot]]s of the four Generation I games: Pokémon Red, Green, Blue, and Yellow. They are also available in all iterations of the original [[Kanto]] plot and can all be obtained in a single save file in Pokémon Yellow;<br />
** {{p|Espeon}} could have been obtained as an {{p|Eevee}} in [[Celadon City]], and Eevee notably serves as {{ga|Blue}}'s [[first partner Pokémon]] in Pokémon Yellow;<br />
** {{p|Lapras}} is given away by a [[Silph Co.]] employee shortly before [[Team Rocket]] is defeated there;<br />
** Two {{p|Snorlax}} are required to be caught or defeated in order to travel to [[Fuchsia City]]. Furthermore, in the Generation II games and Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, only the Snorlax that was previously blocking {{rt|12|Kanto}} (now blocking the entrance to [[Diglett's Cave]]) is available to the {{player}}, suggesting that Red defeated and caught the one blocking {{rt|16|Kanto}}.<br />
*** In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, apart from his Venusaur and Blastoise being fully evolved, Red's team is identical to that of [[Ash Ketchum]] throughout most of the [[S02|Orange Islands]] anime arc.<br />
*** Also in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, the four game mascots all know their [[Generation III]] [[signature move]]s: Venusaur, Charizard, and Blastoise know {{m|Frenzy Plant}}, {{m|Blast Burn}} and {{m|Hydro Cannon}}, respectively, while Pikachu knows {{m|Volt Tackle}}. Furthermore, his Pikachu's moveset coincides with the four moves that [[Ash's Pikachu]] used during ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]'': Volt Tackle, {{m|Quick Attack}}, {{m|Iron Tail}}, and {{m|Thunderbolt}}.<br />
* All six of the Pokémon that Red uses in the core series from HeartGold and SoulSilver to Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon are capable of [[Gigantamax]] in Sword and Shield.<br />
* In HeartGold and SoulSilver, Red's [[level]] 88 [[Red's Pikachu|Pikachu]] is the highest-leveled Pokémon owned by a non-player character outside of [[Battle facility|battle facilities]], tied with [[Cynthia's Garchomp]] during the second [[rematch]] in {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}.<br />
** However, the level of several NPCs' Pokémon in {{4v|Black|White}} are variable and can exceed that of the two, depending on the level of the Pokémon that is [[in-game trade#Generation V|traded]] to them.<br />
* When Red is encountered at the summit of Mt. Silver during Generation II and Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, he has no speech, merely repeating sets of {{wp|ellipsis|ellipses}} <!--2 sets of regular 3-dot ellipses in English GSC and 2 sets of 18-dot ellipses in English HGSS; 10 sets (GSC)/6 sets (HGSS) sets of 2 midline horizontal ellipses each in the Japanese versions--> before beginning the {{pkmn|battle}}. This is a reference to his silent role in [[Generation I]], as he only answered choice questions like <sc>Yes</sc> or <sc>No</sc>. This unique characteristic remains in later [[generation]]s.<br />
** In FireRed and LeafGreen, {{ga|Blue}} sarcastically calls him a "chatty gossip".<br />
*** Blue also jokes about this in Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon.<br />
** Despite this, {{DL|Copycat (character)|Quotes|dialogue that ensues}} when talking to {{OBP|Copycat|character}} in Generation I and FireRed and LeafGreen implies that Red is speaking.<br />
*** Also, only in the Spanish version of HeartGold and SoulSilver, the line "<Trainer> used one <item>!" for opponents using items in battle was localized as "<Trainer>: ¡Voy a usar <item>!" ("<Trainer>: I'm going to use <item>!"), thus causing Red to speak when using an item in battle.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5F1hpXj3f-Q</ref><br />
*** In [[Pokémon Masters EX]], while primarily silent, {{mas|Red}} has {{DL|Red (game)/Quotes|Pokémon Masters EX|several spoken lines of dialogue}}.<br />
* Much like there is minimal information on his {{Ash|anime counterpart}}'s father, Red's father is mentioned only briefly when examining an {{wp|Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES}} at the [[Celadon Department Store]] in the Generation I games and FireRed and LeafGreen.<br />
* In HeartGold and SoulSilver, Red is the only {{pkmn|Trainer}} who uses the {{pkmn|battle}} transition effect from Generation II.<br />
* All of his anime and manga counterparts also have owned a Pikachu, with {{Zensho|Satoshi}} from Pokémon Zensho being the only one who evolved his one into a {{p|Raichu}}.<br />
* Along with Blue, [[Lance]], and the Generation I and III Kanto [[Gym Leader]]s (excluding [[Giovanni]] and [[Koga]]), Red has appeared in almost every [[generation]] of the [[Pokémon games]], with six out of nine so far. He is the only protagonist with this feat.<br />
* Red and Lance share the same unique {{pkmn|Champion}} battle music in [[Johto]]-based games and Pokémon Black 2 and White 2's [[Champions Tournament]].<br />
* Red's T-shirt in Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon bears the number 96, referencing the original Japanese release year of Pokémon Red and Green.<br />
* Red is the only protagonist to be battled, as an NPC, outside of the generation he was introduced in.<br />
* A Trainer closely resembling an older Red briefly appears in {{DetPikMov}}, where he is shown in a promotional advertisement on the train to [[Ryme City]]. This Trainer is played by Japanese actor Ryoma Takeuchi.<br />

'''Red's Charizard''' (Japanese: '''レッドのリザードン''' ''Red's Lizardon'') was the [[List of characters' first Pokémon|first Pokémon]] acquired by {{OBP|Red|Origins}} in the [[Kanto]] [[region]]. Red obtained {{p|Charmander}} from [[Professor Oak]] when he was sent out to fill up the [[Pokédex]].<br />
<br />
==In the anime==<br />
===Pokémon Origins===<br />
====History====<br />
[[File:Red and Charizard PO.png|thumb|left|250px|Charizard and Red]]<br />
Charmander originally belonged to [[Professor Oak]] as a potential first partner Pokémon for new Trainers, along with {{p|Bulbasaur}} and {{p|Squirtle}}. <br />
<br />
In ''[[PO01|File 1: Red]]'', Red picked it as his because it fit his name and his burning desire to be a {{pkmn|Trainer}}. Its first {{pkmn|battle}} was against a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Pidgey}}, which escaped. Charmander was then used in Red's first battle against {{OBP|Blue|Origins}}'s {{p|Squirtle}}. Due to Red's inexperience and Squirtle's type advantage, Charmander was easily defeated.<br />
<br />
During Red's Gym battle against [[Brock]], Charmander was Red's initial choice, but when learning about the advantage that [[Brock's Geodude]] has on Fire-type Pokémon, it was soon recalled. However, it would still end up as Red's last healthy Pokémon against {{TP|Brock|Onix}}. Red and Charmander emerged victorious thanks to Red's strategy.<br />
<br />
It was revealed in ''[[PO02|File 2: Cubone]]'' that Charmander evolved into {{p|Charmeleon}} some time after Red's Gym battle against [[Misty]]. In that same episode, Red used Charmeleon in Lavender Town to face the ghost who terrorized the inhabitants of the city, which was later to be revealed to be the spirit of a {{OBP|Marowak|ghost}} who was killed by members of [[Team Rocket]].<br />
<br />
It was revealed in ''[[PO03|File 3: Giovanni]]'' that Red used Charmeleon again in his battle against [[Erika]], and it managed to get him his fourth Badge. After several battles, Charmeleon evolved into a Charizard. Red used Charizard in his first battle against [[Giovanni]] at [[Silph Co.]] Even though the Fire-type Pokémon tried its best, it was easily subdued by Giovanni's {{p|Nidoqueen}}. Charizard was used again in the final battle against Giovanni, where it faced Giovanni's {{p|Rhydon}}. After a hard battle, Charizard managed to win and Giovanni decided to change his attitude. <br />
<br />
In ''[[PO04|File 4: Charizard]]'', at the [[Indigo Plateau|Pokémon League]] in the final battle against Blue, Charizard was the final Pokémon Red used. It went against Blue's {{p|Blastoise}}. The two Pokémon fought hard, but Charizard ultimately proved victorious with a combination of {{m|Fire Spin}} and {{m|Fire Blast}}, landing it, along with {{OBP|Red|Origins}} and the rest of his [[party]], in the [[Hall of Fame]] as {{pkmn|Champion}}s. From then on, Red resolved to capture all the Pokémon in the [[Kanto]] region. Charizard was used in a battle against a {{p|Moltres}}, which ended up being captured by Red.<br />
<br />
During Red's battle against {{p|Mewtwo}}, Red sent out Charizard as his last hope, after the rest of his team had been defeated. Initially, Charizard was no match for Mewtwo either, being defeated by being thrown into a lake together with its Trainer. With the use of a [[Mega Stone]], given to Red by [[Mr. Fuji]] and its great bond with Red, it was able to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Charizard X. With this new level of power, Charizard was able to match Mewtwo's power. And so, after a series of powerful moves, it was able to defeat Mewtwo, allowing Red to catch it.<br />
<br />
====Personality and characteristics====<br />
[[File:Mega Stone PO.png|thumb|250px|Charizard's Charizardite X]]<br />
As mentioned by many Trainers, Red and Charizard have a great bond between them. Charizard is very loyal to Red, even when it was still a Charmander and its Trainer was rather inexperienced. In terms of power, it is one of Red's strongest Pokémon, even being able to beat powerful opponents that its type is usually weak against.<br />
<br />
Thanks to this union and its power, Charizard is able to Mega Evolve, something that is rarely seen in the Kanto region.<br />

<br />
In the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series, the {{OBP|Pokémon Trainer|Super Smash Bros.}} character, an incarnation of Red by default, uses a Charizard as his powerhouse. It uses heavy-hitting moves, above-average dash speed (slightly faster than Pikachu), and long-range attacks. Charizard's drawbacks include large weight, subpar aerial game, and slow walking speed. Its varied arsenal of attacks includes {{m|Rock Smash}}, a powerful frontal attack, and {{m|Fly}}, a recovery move that sends Charizard skyward and allows it to glide. It can also use Flamethrower to attack from a short distance, but its power decreases over time. It uses {{m|Fire Blast}} in the Pokémon Trainer's Final Smash, {{DL|Final Smash|Triple Finish}}.<br />
<br />
In the {{sbw|Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary|Subspace Emissary}}, Charizard is found shortly after Ivysaur, completing the Trainer's team.<br />

'''Red's Charizard''' (Japanese: '''レッドのリザードン''' ''Red's Lizardon'') was the [[List of characters' first Pokémon|first Pokémon]] acquired by {{OBP|Red|Origins}} in the [[Kanto]] [[region]]. Red obtained {{p|Charmander}} from [[Professor Oak]] when he was sent out to fill up the [[Pokédex]].<br />
<br />
==In the anime==<br />
===Pokémon Origins===<br />
====History====<br />
[[File:Red and Charizard PO.png|thumb|left|250px|Charizard and Red]]<br />
Charmander originally belonged to [[Professor Oak]] as a potential first partner Pokémon for new Trainers, along with {{p|Bulbasaur}} and {{p|Squirtle}}. <br />
<br />
In ''[[PO01|File 1: Red]]'', Red picked it as his because it fit his name and his burning desire to be a {{pkmn|Trainer}}. Its first {{pkmn|battle}} was against a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Pidgey}}, which escaped. Charmander was then used in Red's first battle against {{OBP|Blue|Origins}}'s {{p|Squirtle}}. Due to Red's inexperience and Squirtle's type advantage, Charmander was easily defeated.<br />
<br />
During Red's Gym battle against [[Brock]], Charmander was Red's initial choice, but when learning about the advantage that [[Brock's Geodude]] has on Fire-type Pokémon, it was soon recalled. However, it would still end up as Red's last healthy Pokémon against {{TP|Brock|Onix}}. Red and Charmander emerged victorious thanks to Red's strategy.<br />
<br />
It was revealed in ''[[PO02|File 2: Cubone]]'' that Charmander evolved into {{p|Charmeleon}} some time after Red's Gym battle against [[Misty]]. In that same episode, Red used Charmeleon in Lavender Town to face the ghost who terrorized the inhabitants of the city, which was later to be revealed to be the spirit of a {{OBP|Marowak|ghost}} who was killed by members of [[Team Rocket]].<br />
<br />
It was revealed in ''[[PO03|File 3: Giovanni]]'' that Red used Charmeleon again in his battle against [[Erika]], and it managed to get him his fourth Badge. After several battles, Charmeleon evolved into a Charizard. Red used Charizard in his first battle against [[Giovanni]] at [[Silph Co.]] Even though the Fire-type Pokémon tried its best, it was easily subdued by Giovanni's {{p|Nidoqueen}}. Charizard was used again in the final battle against Giovanni, where it faced Giovanni's {{p|Rhydon}}. After a hard battle, Charizard managed to win and Giovanni decided to change his attitude. <br />
<br />
In ''[[PO04|File 4: Charizard]]'', at the [[Indigo Plateau|Pokémon League]] in the final battle against Blue, Charizard was the final Pokémon Red used. It went against Blue's {{p|Blastoise}}. The two Pokémon fought hard, but Charizard ultimately proved victorious with a combination of {{m|Fire Spin}} and {{m|Fire Blast}}, landing it, along with {{OBP|Red|Origins}} and the rest of his [[party]], in the [[Hall of Fame]] as {{pkmn|Champion}}s. From then on, Red resolved to capture all the Pokémon in the [[Kanto]] region. Charizard was used in a battle against a {{p|Moltres}}, which ended up being captured by Red.<br />
<br />
During Red's battle against {{p|Mewtwo}}, Red sent out Charizard as his last hope, after the rest of his team had been defeated. Initially, Charizard was no match for Mewtwo either, being defeated by being thrown into a lake together with its Trainer. With the use of a [[Mega Stone]], given to Red by [[Mr. Fuji]] and its great bond with Red, it was able to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Charizard X. With this new level of power, Charizard was able to match Mewtwo's power. And so, after a series of powerful moves, it was able to defeat Mewtwo, allowing Red to catch it.<br />
<br />
====Personality and characteristics====<br />
[[File:Mega Stone PO.png|thumb|250px|Charizard's Charizardite X]]<br />
As mentioned by many Trainers, Red and Charizard have a great bond between them. Charizard is very loyal to Red, even when it was still a Charmander and its Trainer was rather inexperienced. In terms of power, it is one of Red's strongest Pokémon, even being able to beat powerful opponents that its type is usually weak against.<br />
<br />
Thanks to this union and its power, Charizard is able to Mega Evolve, something that is rarely seen in the Kanto region.<br />

<br />
In the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series, the {{OBP|Pokémon Trainer|Super Smash Bros.}} character, an incarnation of Red by default, uses a Charizard as his powerhouse. It uses heavy-hitting moves, above-average dash speed (slightly faster than Pikachu), and long-range attacks. Charizard's drawbacks include large weight, subpar aerial game, and slow walking speed. Its varied arsenal of attacks includes {{m|Rock Smash}}, a powerful frontal attack, and {{m|Fly}}, a recovery move that sends Charizard skyward and allows it to glide. It can also use Flamethrower to attack from a short distance, but its power decreases over time. It uses {{m|Fire Blast}} in the Pokémon Trainer's Final Smash, {{DL|Final Smash|Triple Finish}}.<br />
<br />
In the {{sbw|Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary|Subspace Emissary}}, Charizard is found shortly after Ivysaur, completing the Trainer's team.<br />

'''Red''' (Japanese: '''{{j|レッド}}''' ''Red'') is the {{player|player character}} in the [[Generation I]] games [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Pokémon Red, Green]], [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Blue]], and {{v2|Yellow}} and the male choice in their [[Generation III]] remakes {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, where his female counterpart is {{ga|Leaf}}.<br />
<br />
Red is known throughout the [[Pokémon world]] as the {{pkmn|Champion}} from [[Pallet Town]], as well as a living legend for his defeat of [[Team Rocket]] in [[Kanto]] during his quest. He is the final opponent in the [[Generation II]] games {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, their [[Generation IV]] remakes {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, and {{g|Stadium 2}}. He is a participant in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]]'s [[Champions Tournament]] in {{B2W2}} and works as a boss of the [[Battle Tree]] alongside {{ga|Blue}} in the [[Generation VII]] games {{pkmn|Sun and Moon|Sun, Moon}}, {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon}}. In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], he appears as the highest-level Trainer in the game, capable of being challenged after defeating six [[Master Trainer]]s.<br />
<br />
==Terminology==<br />
[[File:Yellow manual story.jpg|thumb|200px|Red named イエロー (''Yellow'') in the manual of Pokémon Yellow]]<br />
[[File:Red playing card.jpg|thumb|150px|Red named グリーン (''Green'') on a [[Pokémon playing cards|playing card]] from the Pokémon Green deck released in Japan]]<br />
[[File:GameFreak 1997 fanbook MC Satoshi.jpg|thumb|152px|Red named サトシ (''Satoshi'') by Game Freak]]<br />
[[File:Ash Gary game.png|thumb|160px|Red and Blue called "Ash" and "Gary" in the Nintendo Power guide]]<br />
<br />
While he had various names in [[Generation I]], from [[Generation II]] onwards he is referred to as '''Red''' (Japanese: '''{{j|レッド}}''' ''Red'') in several [[core series]] games where he appears as a [[non-player character]], in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], and he is known by {{mas|Red|the same name}} in [[Pokémon Masters EX]]. He is also known by this name in the game data of [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|Pokémon FireRed, LeafGreen]], and [[Pokémon Emerald Version|Emerald]], but this is not seen in normal gameplay. He was named after the [[Generation I]] game [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Pokémon Red]].<br />
<br />
In the player's story as seen in the Japanese game manuals from [[Generation I]], the player name refers to the name of the current game: '''{{j|レッド}}'''{{sup/1|R}}, '''{{j|グリーン}}'''{{sup/1|G}}, '''{{j|ブルー}}'''{{sup/1|B}}, or '''{{j|イエロー}}'''{{sup/1|Y}} (''Red'', ''Green'', ''Blue'', or ''Yellow''). However, this was adapted as "'''you'''" instead in the English version. For instance:<br />
<br />
* In the Japanese manuals of the Generation I games:<br />
*:「'''レッド'''({{ruby|主人公|しゅじんこう}})は11{{ruby|歳|さい}}」 ('''''Red''' (player character) is 11 years old.''){{sup/1|R}}<br />
*:「'''グリーン'''({{ruby|主人公|しゅじんこう}})は11{{ruby|歳|さい}}」 ('''''Green''' (player character) is 11 years old.''){{sup/1|G}}<br />
*:「'''ブルー'''({{ruby|主人公|しゅじんこう}})は11{{ruby|歳|さい}}」 ('''''Blue''' (player character) is 11 years old.''){{sup/1|B}}<br />
*:「'''イエロー'''({{ruby|主人公|しゅじんこう}})は11{{ruby|歳|さい}}」 ('''''Yellow''' (player character) is 11 years old.''){{sup/1|Y}}<br />
* In the English manuals (except his age is not mentioned in Pokémon Yellow's English manual):<br />
*: ''"'''You''' are an 11-old boy [...]"''{{sup/1|RB}}<br />
<br />
In the Japanese {{pkmn|playing cards}}, he is named '''{{j|レッド}}''' (''Red'') in the Pokémon Red deck and '''{{j|グリーン}}''' (''Green'') in the Pokémon Green deck. The text {{ruby|主人公|しゅじんこう}} (''player character'') also appears on his card from both the Red and Green decks. However, in the Pokémon Blue and Yellow decks released later, he is unnamed and simply referred to with this Japanese text meaning "player character".<br />
<br />
In some game screenshots from the English manuals, the male player character is named '''Blue'''{{sup/1|RB}}, '''{{Ash}}'''{{sup/1|Y}}, '''Red'''{{sup/3|FR}}, or '''Green'''{{sup/3|LG}} (while the {{ga|Leaf|female player character}} is named Fire{{sup/3|FR}} or Leaf{{sup/3|LG}}).<br />
<br />
He was also named '''Ash''' (Japanese: '''{{j|サトシ}}''' ''Satoshi'') in some early official media, sharing the name of {{Ash|his anime counterpart}}. This is also found in the list of default names. The Japanese version is also the name of the [[Satoshi Tajiri|creator of the franchise]] and one of Red's default names.<br />
* In the ''Official Fan Book of Pocket Monsters'' (Japanese: '''{{j|ポケットモンスター公式ファンブック}}''') from 1997, the player is named '''サトシ''' (''Satoshi'') according to [[Game Freak]], in which his appearance (as well as [[Professor Oak]] and [[Giovanni]]) in the then-upcoming {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} games was teased.<ref>[http://hakuda2.web.fc2.com/ir/poke4/b5.html ボツポケモン応援隊] ([https://archive.is/JR0Yn archived copy])</ref> This may indicate that this name was originally considered for this game character.<br />
* In ''[[Pokémon: Official Nintendo Player's Guide]]'' (Nintendo Power, 1998), the player is named '''Ash''' (while the rival is named Gary at this point).<br />
* In ''[[Pokémon Gold and Silver: Official Nintendo Player's Guide]]'' (Nintendo Power, 2000), he is usually named '''Red''' in several sections explaining the story and mechanics of the games, except he is also named '''Ash''' at some point. In ''[[Pokémon Crystal: Official Nintendo Player's Guide]]'' (Nintendo Power, 2001), some content was reused but the name "Ash" was edited out:<br />
*: ''"Pokémon Gold & Silver also feature the world of Kanto, which '''Ash''' explored in Pokémon Red, Blue and Yellow."'' (Pokémon Gold and Silver guidebook, page 4)<br />
*: ''"Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal also feature the world of Kanto, which '''originally appeared''' in Pokémon Red, Blue and Yellow."'' (Pokémon Crystal guidebook, page 4)<br />
<br />
In the [[Super Smash Bros. series]], the male version of the character known only as "{{OBP|Pokémon Trainer|Super Smash Bros.}}" is based on Red.<br />
<br />
He is also known by some other placeholder names, which are stored in the game data but not available in normal gameplay: '''[[Nintendo|Ninten]]'''{{sup/1|RBY}} (Japanese: '''やまぐち''' ''Yamaguchi''{{sup/1|RG}}; '''ゲーフリ''' ''Gēfuri''{{sup/1|B}}; '''ゲーフリ1''' ''Gēfuri1''{{sup/1|Y}}). At least in Generation I, there are some hidden game mechanics that would display this name, therefore it should become visible if some {{wp|Random-access memory|RAM}} {{wp|memory address|addresses}} were changed.<ref>[http://acmlm.kafuka.org/board/thread.php?pid=18912#18912 Intresting and funny in Pokemon Red Acmlmboard]</ref><br />
<br />
* The English "'''Ninten'''" is short for [[Nintendo]], while the rival's placeholder name is "Sony" in those games. This references the fact that in the years surrounding the releases of the Generation I games, Sony was Nintendo's main competition. {{wb|Ninten}} is also the default name of the main protagonist of {{wb|Mother (video game)|Mother}}, a game developed by [[Creatures, Inc.]].<br />
* The Japanese '''やまぐち''' (''Yamaguchi'') refers to Wataru Yamaguchi, an art director that worked on the original games.<br />
* The Japanese '''ゲーフリ''' (''Gēfuri'') and '''ゲーフリ1''' (''Gēfuri1'') refer to [[Game Freak]] (Japanese: ゲームフリーク ''Gēmu Furīku'').<br />
<br />
In some screenshots of Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen on the Japanese website pokemon.co.jp, the player is named '''オサム''' (''Osamu'').<ref>[https://www.pokemon.co.jp/game/gba/fl/item.html ポケットモンスター ファイアレッド・リーフグリーン - Pokémon.co.jp]</ref><br />
<br />
In the Spanish version of FireRed, LeafGreen, and Emerald, his placeholder name has the syllables reversed: he is known as "Joro" instead of "Rojo" (while his {{ga|Leaf|female counterpart}} is known as "Jaho" instead of "Hoja").<br />
<br />
==In the core series games==<br />
{{spoilers}}<br />
Red is introduced as a curious 11-year-old boy from [[Pallet Town]]. According to the instruction manuals of {{3v2|Red|Green|Blue}}, Red gained an interest in Pokémon after his best friend, {{ga|Blue}}, stopped playing with him and became a bully, although in the games [[Professor Oak]] says the two have been rivals since infancy. His adventure begins one day when Professor Oak calls the two to his lab for a [[first partner Pokémon]]. Red has a choice of a {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, or {{p|Squirtle}}{{sup/1|G}}{{sup/1|RB}}{{sup/3|FRLG}}. Depending on the Pokémon that Red chooses, Blue will choose the Pokémon that has a type advantage over it{{sup/1|G}}{{sup/1|RB}}{{sup/3|FRLG}}. In {{game|Yellow}}, Red was originally intended to get an {{p|Eevee}}, which was swiped by Blue. As a result, Blue keeps the Eevee and Red receives a {{OBP|Pikachu|Yellow}} that Professor Oak caught earlier{{sup/1|Y}}. Blue challenges Red to a battle immediately to test out his new Pokémon, thinking he will easily beat Red.<br />
<br />
After Red has made his way to [[Viridian City]] to the north and taken [[Parcel|a package]] back to Oak in Pallet Town, Oak gives Red and Blue each a [[Pokédex]] with which to record data on all known Pokémon in the Kanto region to fulfill Oak's dream of creating a full guide on all Pokémon in Kanto. From here, Red and Blue journey across Kanto, collecting Pokémon to build up their teams, and defeating each of the [[Gym Leader]]s in turn, with Blue always one step ahead, showing up from time to time to impede Red's progress.<br />
<br />
Red also comes across a gang of Pokémon thieves, [[Team Rocket]], several times through his journey. He first encounters them trying to steal fossils within Mt. Moon. Then he encounters a member who is running the Nugget Bridge challenge to recruit for the organization on {{rt|24|Kanto}}; and another lone member who has stolen a [[TM]] from a family in [[Cerulean City]]. Eventually, Red uncovers a plot by Team Rocket, infiltrating their [[Team Rocket Hideout|hideout]] beneath the [[Celadon Game Corner]] and encountering their boss, [[Giovanni]]. Defeating him and ousting Team Rocket from Celadon, Red uses the [[Silph Scope]] that Giovanni leaves behind to battle {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon and save [[Mr. Fuji]] in the [[Pokémon Tower]] in [[Lavender Town]], who is being held hostage by Team Rocket. Red soon journeys into Saffron City in the heart of Kanto to find it overrun by Team Rocket, who is attempting to take the recently invented [[Master Ball]] from the [[Silph Co.]] President, and defeats Giovanni again, ending the group's plots for the time being.<br />
<br />
With seven Badges in hand, Red encounters Giovanni for the final time—this time as the [[Gym Leader|Leader]] of the [[Viridian Gym]], his final obstacle before the [[Elite Four]] of [[Indigo Plateau]]. Red defeats him in battle, earning his eighth and final Badge—the {{Badge|Earth}}. He disbands Team Rocket, promising to go into solo training to become a better Trainer.<br />
<br />
Making it through {{ka|Victory Road}} and finally to Indigo Plateau, Red challenges the [[Indigo League]]. First, he defeats the Elite Four and discovers, to his surprise, that Blue has defeated them before him and is therefore the {{pkmn|Champion}} of Kanto. Red defeats Blue in the final battle, becoming the Champion himself, but then continues his training, rather than staying at Indigo Plateau. Encountering an offshoot of Team Rocket in the southern [[Sevii Islands]], lead by Executive [[Archer]], Red reveals with his Earth Badge that Giovanni has disbanded the organization, and, though defeated, the group there intends to revive Team Rocket and bring Giovanni back, having already made plans to force Pokémon to evolve with radio waves.<br />
<br />
Red continues as a wandering Trainer, eventually making his way to [[Mt. Silver Cave]], where he trains his Pokémon alone. In the process, he becomes so distant from the people close to him that he does not even talk to his mom via phone anymore.<br />
<br />
Eventually, {{ga|Ethan}}, {{ga|Kris}}, or {{ga|Lyra}} arrives at Mt. Silver Cave and challenges Red, identified only as a [[Pokémon Trainer]]. If defeated, Red vanishes from Mt. Silver, and returns every time the Elite Four is defeated again by the player of Gold, Silver, Crystal, HeartGold, or SoulSilver.<br />
<br />
Some time later, Red has been shown to finally come back into public life, as he enters the [[Champions Tournament]] of the [[Pokémon World Tournament]] in the [[Unova]] region. In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon]], {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon}}, a visibly older Red is invited to work as the boss of [[Alola]]'s [[Battle Tree]] along with Blue. When {{ga|Elio}} or {{ga|Selene}} first visits the Battle Tree, they will encounter Red and Blue and battle one of them. After Red{{sup/7|SMUSUM}} or Blue{{sup/7|USUM}} is defeated at the Battle Tree proper, Red will reward the player with a full set of Kanto first partner Pokémon [[Mega Stone]]s.<br />
<br />
Red makes an appearance in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]]. In this continuity, he and Blue completed their journeys and defeated the Elite Four years before the player character started their journey. If the player has defeated at least six [[Master Trainer]]s and has six Pokémon in their [[party]], Red can be found in front of the Pokémon League building at Indigo Plateau, where he may be challenged to a battle. Like during all Master Trainer battles, the player isn't allowed to use [[item]]s from their [[Bag]] during this battle. After being defeated, Red will grant the player the title of [[Pokémon Master|Battle Master]] before leaving, though he will reappear for a [[rematch]] each time the player defeats the Elite Four.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon===<br />
As the player character, Red can have on his team any of the 151 Pokémon available during [[Generation I]]. In [[Generation III]], he can have any of the 386 Pokémon available at that time, though only after the player has obtained the [[National Pokédex]].<br />
<br />
When he is encountered as an opponent in [[Generation II]] and [[Generation IV]], Red has a set team, based on Generation I in-game event Pokémon, and has the highest leveled trained Pokémon yet encountered in the series, with his {{TP|Red|Pikachu}} at level 81 in Generation II and at level 88 in Generation IV. In HeartGold and SoulSilver, when he is defeated, all Pokémon in the player's party receive the {{DL|List of Ribbons in the games|Legend Ribbon}}.<br />
<br />
In {{B2W2}}, he can be fought in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]]'s [[Champions Tournament]], using the same team he did in Generation IV, albeit with different movesets.<br />
<br />
In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon]], {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon}}, Red once again uses his team from Generation IV, just with altered movesets. When battled in the [[Battle Tree]] proper, Red will use a randomly selected team from a preset selection of Pokémon.<br />
<br />
In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], Red's team has notable differences to his previous [[core series]] teams, replacing {{p|Charizard}} and {{p|Blastoise}} which now appear as the highest levelled Pokémon in {{ga|Blue}} and {{ga|Green}}'s teams respectively.<br />

==In the side series games==<br />
===[[Pokémon Stadium 2]]===<br />
Red appears in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]]. He can be battled in the Kanto [[Gym Leader Castle]] after the player has defeated all eight Kanto Gym Leaders, being the final opponent the player must defeat in order to clear the Gym Leader Castle challenge.<br />
<br />
During the game's end credits, he is seen having a battle with {{ga|Blue}}.<br />
<br />
====Pokémon====<br />
Red uses vastly different sets of Pokémon than in any of his other appearances, only sharing a couple Pokémon with the teams he uses in the [[core series]]. Notably, this is the only game where he's not seen using {{TP|Red|his Pikachu|Pikachu}}. In Round 2, each of his Pokémon knows {{m|Hidden Power}}.<br />

===Pokémon Colosseum and XD: Gale of Darkness===<br />
Red makes an appearance in both [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]]. While he does not appear in the games' Story Mode, he is playable in the Battle Mode when a FireRed or LeafGreen cartridge is used, with a male player character chosen. He can take on Mt. Battle's 100-battle challenge, as well as compete in Colosseum battles.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Battle Revolution===<br />
Red made a brief appearance in the debut trailer of [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]], having a [[Double Battle]] against {{ga|Leaf}}, using a {{p|Deoxys}} in its Attack Forme and a {{p|Wailord}}. Despite this, he didn't appear in the final cut of the game.<br />
<br />
==In the spin-off games==<br />
===[[Super Smash Bros. series]]===<br />
[[File:Pokemon Trainer Brawl.png|thumb|250px|left|Red in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] with his Pokémon]]<br />
[[File:Pokemon Trainer SSBU.png|thumb|250px|Red in [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]]]<br />
====Pokémon Trainer====<br />
{{main|Pokémon Trainer (Super Smash Bros.)}}<br />
Red is known as the "Pokémon Trainer" in the [[Super Smash Bros. series]]. He has a team consisting of {{p|Squirtle}}, {{p|Ivysaur}}, and {{p|Charizard}}. Rather than fighting himself like most other characters, Red sends his three Pokémon into battle, switching between them in order.<br />
<br />
Red debuted as a playable character in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]. He was absent from [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]], the only game in the series where his {{SSB|Charizard}} is available as an individual fighter. Red returned as a playable character in [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]], and additionally {{ga|Leaf}} debuted as part of his palette swaps, sharing the same title of "Pokémon Trainer". Red is voiced by [[Michele Knotz]] and [[Billy Bob Thompson]] in the English versions of [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]] and [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate|Ultimate]] respectively, and 半場友恵 ''[[Tomoe Hanba]]'' in the Japanese versions.<br />
<br />
====Other references====<br />
* Red's hat appears as an alternate outfit worn by {{SSB|Pikachu}} from [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]] onward, possibly in specific reference to {{game|Yellow}} (which, in turn, was inspired by the anime).<br />
* In [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]], Red is featured as a trophy to represent Pokémon Trainers.<br />
<br />
===[[Pokémon GO]]===<br />
{{main|Style (GO)}}<br />
For [[Pokémon Day]] 2018, Red's outfit from {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} was released as free style option in [[Pokémon GO]].<br />
<br />
===[[Pokémon Masters EX]]===<br />
{{main|Red (Masters)}}<br />
Red, who is based on the [[player character]], forms a [[sync pair]] with {{TP|Red|Charizard}}, {{p|Snorlax}}, {{TP|Red|Pikachu}}, {{p|Articuno}}, and {{p|Venusaur}} in [[Pokémon Masters EX]]. His Charizard is capable of [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolving]] into Mega Charizard X, while his Snorlax and Pikachu are both capable of [[Gigantamax]]ing, and his Venusaur is capable of [[Dynamax]]ing. Red became a playable sync pair on February 28, 2020.<br />
<br />
In this game, Red is indirectly responsible for the creation of the [[Pokémon Masters League]], as him defeating [[Lear]] before the events of the game was what inspired Lear to create [[Pasio]] and the PML in order to get another chance at beating him. Red first appeared as an NPC during the second chapter of [[PML Arc]]. He also made notable appearances later in the PML Arc, and the [[Villain Arc]]. Unlike in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, both Red and {{mas|Leaf}} coexist in this game.<br />

==Quotes==<br />
{{main|Red (game)/Quotes}}<br />
<br />
==Optional names==<br />
When starting a new game of {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, if the player leaves the name writing screen without any written name, or with a name composed entirely of empty spaces, [[Professor Oak]] says, "Right... So your name is <optional name>", suggesting one of the 19 available names; there are 24 names in total, but there are 5 exclusive to FireRed and 5 exclusive to LeafGreen. The player may answer "Yes" to accept the suggested name, or "No" to return to the name writing screen.<br />

==In the TFG==<br />
There are three {{TFG|Trainer figure|Trainer figures}} based on Red with his design from {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, except with different names and colors.<br />
<br />
* {{TFG ID|Next Quest|Red|42}} (Japanese: レッド ''Red'') from {{TFG|Next Quest}}, wearing his usual red clothes.<br />
* {{TFG ID|Groundbreakers|Green|39}} (Japanese: グリーン ''Green'') from {{TFG|Groundbreakers}}, with green hat, shirt and shoes.<br />
* {{TFG ID|Unnamed Third Set|Yellow|42}} (Japanese: イエロー ''Yellow''), from the {{TFG|Unnamed Third Set}}, with yellow hat, shirt and shoes.<br />
<br />
The Red figure is part of the single released set, Next Quest. The other two sets were not released, so the Green and Yellow figures were not released either.<br />

==Counterparts==<br />
===In the anime===<br />
====Main series====<br />
{{main|Ash Ketchum}}<br />
{{main|Ash Ketchum (M20)}}<br />
[[File:Ash debut.png|thumb|250px|Ash Ketchum, Red's {{pkmn|anime}} counterpart]]<br />
Red's loose [[Cross-canon counterpart|anime counterpart]], introduced in the [[EP001|first episode]], is the anime's main character, Ash Ketchum. Like Red, Ash is from Pallet Town, on a {{pkmn|journey}} to become a Pokémon Master. Unlike Red, Ash's journey did not end with Kanto, and Ash continued through every other region introduced in the [[core series]] games until [[Galar]], as well as the [[Orange Archipelago]] south of Kanto, taking the place of the player characters of Generation II during [[Johto]] and Generation V during [[Unova]], and being joined by the anime counterparts of {{ga|May}}, {{ga|Dawn}}, and {{ga|Serena}} during the Hoenn, Sinnoh, and Kalos sagas respectively. Instead of starting with one of the standard three Kanto first partner Pokémon, however, Ash began his journey with a {{AP|Pikachu}}, inspiring {{game|Yellow}}'s creation, as well as causing some to consider Red and Ash to be exactly the same person, most especially due to Red owning {{TP|Red|one|Pikachu}} as well.<br />
<br />
Red has another anime counterpart, {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|M20|an alternate Ash Ketchum}}, who appeared in ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'', ''[[M21|The Power of Us]]'', and ''[[M23|Secrets of the Jungle]]''; these {{pkmn|movie}}s are set in a timeline separate from the main series. This Ash shares the same basic characteristics as the main Ash, but goes on a different journey compared to the main series.<br />
{{-}}<br />
<br />
====Pokémon Origins====<br />
{{main|Red (Origins)}}<br />
[[File:Blaine Arcanine PO.png|thumb|left|250px|Red in [[Pokémon Origins]]]]<br />
Red also had a direct counterpart that appeared as the main character of the [[Pokémon Origins]] mini-series, which takes place in a separate continuity. This counterpart shared Red's name, in-game role, and design from FireRed and LeafGreen. The mini-series follows Red as he challenges the [[Indigo League]] and fights [[Team Rocket]] with his [[first partner Pokémon]], {{TP|Red|Charmander|Charizard}}.<br />
{{-}}<br />
<br />
====Pokémon Generations====<br />
[[File:Red PG.png|thumb|250px|Red in [[Pokémon Generations]]]]<br />
Another direct counterpart of Red appeared in [[Pokémon Generations]]. He first appeared in ''[[PG01|The Adventure]]'', where he {{pkmn2|caught}} a {{TP|Red|Pikachu}} in [[Viridian Forest]]. He then went on to experience various other adventures with his Pikachu across other regions, during which he encountered various {{pkmn2|wild}} and [[Legendary Pokémon]].<br />

==Trivia==<br />
* Red's title screen and profile front sprites from {{game|Red and Green|s}} correspond to his earlier [[Capsule Monsters]] artwork instead of his final [[Generation I]] artwork. His title screen sprite was updated in {{game|Blue| (Japanese)}} but the profile front sprite remained unchanged.<br />
** In {{game|Yellow}}, he has no title screen sprite and his front sprite is updated in part to match his official artwork and possibly in part to match [[Ash Ketchum]], his anime counterpart, as the frontal section of his hat has the same division in the middle as [[Ash's hat]] from the [[original series]].<br />
* Red's [[party]] in [[Generation II]], {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, {{B2W2}}, and {{game4|SMUSUM}} is based heavily on in-game events from the Generation I games and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}:<br />
** {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Venusaur}}, {{p|Blastoise}}, and {{p|Pikachu}} are the [[game mascot]]s of the four Generation I games: Pokémon Red, Green, Blue, and Yellow. They are also available in all iterations of the original [[Kanto]] plot and can all be obtained in a single save file in Pokémon Yellow;<br />
** {{p|Espeon}} could have been obtained as an {{p|Eevee}} in [[Celadon City]], and Eevee notably serves as {{ga|Blue}}'s [[first partner Pokémon]] in Pokémon Yellow;<br />
** {{p|Lapras}} is given away by a [[Silph Co.]] employee shortly before [[Team Rocket]] is defeated there;<br />
** Two {{p|Snorlax}} are required to be caught or defeated in order to travel to [[Fuchsia City]]. Furthermore, in the Generation II games and Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, only the Snorlax that was previously blocking {{rt|12|Kanto}} (now blocking the entrance to [[Diglett's Cave]]) is available to the {{player}}, suggesting that Red defeated and caught the one blocking {{rt|16|Kanto}}.<br />
*** In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, apart from his Venusaur and Blastoise being fully evolved, Red's team is identical to that of [[Ash Ketchum]] throughout most of the [[S02|Orange Islands]] anime arc.<br />
*** Also in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, the four game mascots all know their [[Generation III]] [[signature move]]s: Venusaur, Charizard, and Blastoise know {{m|Frenzy Plant}}, {{m|Blast Burn}} and {{m|Hydro Cannon}}, respectively, while Pikachu knows {{m|Volt Tackle}}. Furthermore, his Pikachu's moveset coincides with the four moves that [[Ash's Pikachu]] used during ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]'': Volt Tackle, {{m|Quick Attack}}, {{m|Iron Tail}}, and {{m|Thunderbolt}}.<br />
* All six of the Pokémon that Red uses in the core series from HeartGold and SoulSilver to Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon are capable of [[Gigantamax]] in Sword and Shield.<br />
* In HeartGold and SoulSilver, Red's [[level]] 88 [[Red's Pikachu|Pikachu]] is the highest-leveled Pokémon owned by a non-player character outside of [[Battle facility|battle facilities]], tied with [[Cynthia's Garchomp]] during the second [[rematch]] in {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}.<br />
** However, the level of several NPCs' Pokémon in {{4v|Black|White}} are variable and can exceed that of the two, depending on the level of the Pokémon that is [[in-game trade#Generation V|traded]] to them.<br />
* When Red is encountered at the summit of Mt. Silver during Generation II and Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, he has no speech, merely repeating sets of {{wp|ellipsis|ellipses}} <!--2 sets of regular 3-dot ellipses in English GSC and 2 sets of 18-dot ellipses in English HGSS; 10 sets (GSC)/6 sets (HGSS) sets of 2 midline horizontal ellipses each in the Japanese versions--> before beginning the {{pkmn|battle}}. This is a reference to his silent role in [[Generation I]], as he only answered choice questions like <sc>Yes</sc> or <sc>No</sc>. This unique characteristic remains in later [[generation]]s.<br />
** In FireRed and LeafGreen, {{ga|Blue}} sarcastically calls him a "chatty gossip".<br />
*** Blue also jokes about this in Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon.<br />
** Despite this, {{DL|Copycat (character)|Quotes|dialogue that ensues}} when talking to {{OBP|Copycat|character}} in Generation I and FireRed and LeafGreen implies that Red is speaking.<br />
*** Also, only in the Spanish version of HeartGold and SoulSilver, the line "<Trainer> used one <item>!" for opponents using items in battle was localized as "<Trainer>: ¡Voy a usar <item>!" ("<Trainer>: I'm going to use <item>!"), thus causing Red to speak when using an item in battle.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5F1hpXj3f-Q</ref><br />
*** In [[Pokémon Masters EX]], while primarily silent, {{mas|Red}} has {{DL|Red (game)/Quotes|Pokémon Masters EX|several spoken lines of dialogue}}.<br />
* Much like there is minimal information on his {{Ash|anime counterpart}}'s father, Red's father is mentioned only briefly when examining an {{wp|Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES}} at the [[Celadon Department Store]] in the Generation I games and FireRed and LeafGreen.<br />
* In HeartGold and SoulSilver, Red is the only {{pkmn|Trainer}} who uses the {{pkmn|battle}} transition effect from Generation II.<br />
* All of his anime and manga counterparts also have owned a Pikachu, with {{Zensho|Satoshi}} from Pokémon Zensho being the only one who evolved his one into a {{p|Raichu}}.<br />
* Along with Blue, [[Lance]], and the Generation I and III Kanto [[Gym Leader]]s (excluding [[Giovanni]] and [[Koga]]), Red has appeared in almost every [[generation]] of the [[Pokémon games]], with six out of nine so far. He is the only protagonist with this feat.<br />
* Red and Lance share the same unique {{pkmn|Champion}} battle music in [[Johto]]-based games and Pokémon Black 2 and White 2's [[Champions Tournament]].<br />
* Red's T-shirt in Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon bears the number 96, referencing the original Japanese release year of Pokémon Red and Green.<br />
* Red is the only protagonist to be battled, as an NPC, outside of the generation he was introduced in.<br />
* A Trainer closely resembling an older Red briefly appears in {{DetPikMov}}, where he is shown in a promotional advertisement on the train to [[Ryme City]]. This Trainer is played by Japanese actor Ryoma Takeuchi.<br />

'''Red's Charizard''' (Japanese: '''レッドのリザードン''' ''Red's Lizardon'') was the [[List of characters' first Pokémon|first Pokémon]] acquired by {{OBP|Red|Origins}} in the [[Kanto]] [[region]]. Red obtained {{p|Charmander}} from [[Professor Oak]] when he was sent out to fill up the [[Pokédex]].<br />
<br />
==In the anime==<br />
===Pokémon Origins===<br />
====History====<br />
[[File:Red and Charizard PO.png|thumb|left|250px|Charizard and Red]]<br />
Charmander originally belonged to [[Professor Oak]] as a potential first partner Pokémon for new Trainers, along with {{p|Bulbasaur}} and {{p|Squirtle}}. <br />
<br />
In ''[[PO01|File 1: Red]]'', Red picked it as his because it fit his name and his burning desire to be a {{pkmn|Trainer}}. Its first {{pkmn|battle}} was against a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Pidgey}}, which escaped. Charmander was then used in Red's first battle against {{OBP|Blue|Origins}}'s {{p|Squirtle}}. Due to Red's inexperience and Squirtle's type advantage, Charmander was easily defeated.<br />
<br />
During Red's Gym battle against [[Brock]], Charmander was Red's initial choice, but when learning about the advantage that [[Brock's Geodude]] has on Fire-type Pokémon, it was soon recalled. However, it would still end up as Red's last healthy Pokémon against {{TP|Brock|Onix}}. Red and Charmander emerged victorious thanks to Red's strategy.<br />
<br />
It was revealed in ''[[PO02|File 2: Cubone]]'' that Charmander evolved into {{p|Charmeleon}} some time after Red's Gym battle against [[Misty]]. In that same episode, Red used Charmeleon in Lavender Town to face the ghost who terrorized the inhabitants of the city, which was later to be revealed to be the spirit of a {{OBP|Marowak|ghost}} who was killed by members of [[Team Rocket]].<br />
<br />
It was revealed in ''[[PO03|File 3: Giovanni]]'' that Red used Charmeleon again in his battle against [[Erika]], and it managed to get him his fourth Badge. After several battles, Charmeleon evolved into a Charizard. Red used Charizard in his first battle against [[Giovanni]] at [[Silph Co.]] Even though the Fire-type Pokémon tried its best, it was easily subdued by Giovanni's {{p|Nidoqueen}}. Charizard was used again in the final battle against Giovanni, where it faced Giovanni's {{p|Rhydon}}. After a hard battle, Charizard managed to win and Giovanni decided to change his attitude. <br />
<br />
In ''[[PO04|File 4: Charizard]]'', at the [[Indigo Plateau|Pokémon League]] in the final battle against Blue, Charizard was the final Pokémon Red used. It went against Blue's {{p|Blastoise}}. The two Pokémon fought hard, but Charizard ultimately proved victorious with a combination of {{m|Fire Spin}} and {{m|Fire Blast}}, landing it, along with {{OBP|Red|Origins}} and the rest of his [[party]], in the [[Hall of Fame]] as {{pkmn|Champion}}s. From then on, Red resolved to capture all the Pokémon in the [[Kanto]] region. Charizard was used in a battle against a {{p|Moltres}}, which ended up being captured by Red.<br />
<br />
During Red's battle against {{p|Mewtwo}}, Red sent out Charizard as his last hope, after the rest of his team had been defeated. Initially, Charizard was no match for Mewtwo either, being defeated by being thrown into a lake together with its Trainer. With the use of a [[Mega Stone]], given to Red by [[Mr. Fuji]] and its great bond with Red, it was able to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Charizard X. With this new level of power, Charizard was able to match Mewtwo's power. And so, after a series of powerful moves, it was able to defeat Mewtwo, allowing Red to catch it.<br />
<br />
====Personality and characteristics====<br />
[[File:Mega Stone PO.png|thumb|250px|Charizard's Charizardite X]]<br />
As mentioned by many Trainers, Red and Charizard have a great bond between them. Charizard is very loyal to Red, even when it was still a Charmander and its Trainer was rather inexperienced. In terms of power, it is one of Red's strongest Pokémon, even being able to beat powerful opponents that its type is usually weak against.<br />
<br />
Thanks to this union and its power, Charizard is able to Mega Evolve, something that is rarely seen in the Kanto region.<br />

[[File:Charizard SSBU.png|thumb|200px|left|Red's Charizard in [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]]]<br />
<br />
In the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series, the {{OBP|Pokémon Trainer|Super Smash Bros.}} character, an incarnation of Red by default, uses a Charizard as his powerhouse. It uses heavy-hitting moves, above-average dash speed (slightly faster than Pikachu), and long-range attacks. Charizard's drawbacks include large weight, subpar aerial game, and slow walking speed. Its varied arsenal of attacks includes {{m|Rock Smash}}, a powerful frontal attack, and {{m|Fly}}, a recovery move that sends Charizard skyward and allows it to glide. It can also use Flamethrower to attack from a short distance, but its power decreases over time. It uses {{m|Fire Blast}} in the Pokémon Trainer's Final Smash, {{DL|Final Smash|Triple Finish}}.<br />
<br />
In the {{sbw|Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary|Subspace Emissary}}, Charizard is found shortly after Ivysaur, completing the Trainer's team.<br />

Red received his [[first partner Pokémon]], {{p|Charmander}}, from {{mas|Professor Oak}} and left [[Pallet Town]] at the same time as {{mas|Blue}} and {{mas|Leaf}}, forming a [[rival]]ry with Blue. While on his {{pkmn|journey}}, Red caught a {{TP|Red|Pikachu}} in [[Viridian Forest]],<ref> Sync pair story: A Day with Sygna Suit Red (Thunderbolt) Brock: "Did you meet him in Viridian Forest?" Lt. Surge: "Oh! That's amazing! It must have been destiny!"</ref> who would go on to battle {{mas|Brock}}'s {{TP|Brock|Onix}},<ref> Sync pair story: A Day with Sygna Suit Red (Thunderbolt) Brock: "Anyway, I can't believe the Pikachu who used to struggle against my Onix has grown so strong!"</ref> defeat {{mas|Misty}}'s Water Pokémon,<ref> Sync pair story: A Day with Sygna Suit Red (Thunderbolt) Misty: "My water Pokémon were shown up by your signature electric moves. Even though I was so confident I wouldn't lose to such a flimsy Pokémon, with or without disadvantage!"</ref> and battle {{mas|Lt. Surge}}'s {{TP|Lt. Surge|Raichu}}.<ref> Sync pair story: A Day with Sygna Suit Red (Thunderbolt) Lt. Surge: "Its fight with my Raichu electrfied both of us!"</ref> Red also battle and caught a Snorlax that was blocking his path after he woke him up with the [[Poké Flute]].<ref> Sync pair story: A Day with Red Leaf: "Yup! Snorlax was blocking a road while taking a nap, so Red played a flute to wake him up! Then they battled, and that's how Red caught him!"</ref> While [[Kanto Route 15|near]] [[Fuchsia City]], Red saw Articuno in the binoculars and eventually caught it in the [[Seafoam Islands]].<ref> Sync pair story: A Day with Red (Champion) Lorelei: "But at any rate, Red... Where did you catch Articuno, anyway?" Blue: "I'm pretty sure that they met at the Seafoam Islands. Although Red had seen Articuno before actually coming face-to-face with it, and had been running around serching for it for ages. I think you saw it through some binoculars at the gate by Fuchsia City, right?" </ref> After collecting [[Gym]] [[Badge]]s and single-handedly disbanding [[Team Rocket]],<ref> Sync pair story: A Day with Sygna Suit Red Flint: "Like how he single-handedly dismantled Team Rocket, an organization that was mistreating Pokémon."</ref> Red challenged the [[Indigo League]]. After defeating the [[Elite Four]], Red battled the newest {{pkmn|Champion}} of [[Kanto]], Blue, and claimed the title of Champion.<ref> Sync pair story: A Day with Sygna Suit Red Flint when referring to Red "Not only that, he also became the Champion of the Kanto Region!" </ref><ref> Blue's Pokémon Center Conversation "Not to brag or anything, but I actually became the Champion of the Indigo League back in Kanto. Though...I lost to Red right after, so people started calling me the phantom Champion..."</ref> Red traveled through the [[Sevii Islands]], where he met a man who gave him a [[Nugget]].<ref>[[Pasio Gold Rush]] Leaf: "I met him when I was traveling around the Sevii Islands! Wait—you met him, too, Red?"</ref> At some point, Red saw a {{p|Suicune}} in Kanto.<ref> Sync pair story: A Day with Sygna Suit Kris Leaf: "Actually... Didn't you tell me once that you saw a Suicune in Kanto, too, Red?"</ref><br />
<br />

==Trivia==<br />
* Red is based on the [[player character]] of the [[Kanto]]-based games, as he was the {{pkmn|Champion}} of Kanto, and he was the one who defeated [[Team Rocket]] back in Kanto. His [[rival]] is Blue, as Blue has the [[first partner Pokémon]] with a type advantage over Red's first partner Pokémon.<br />
* Red is indirectly responsible for the creation of the [[Pokémon Masters League]], as him defeating [[Lear]] before the events of the game was what inspired Lear to create [[Pasio]] and the PML in order to get another chance at beating him.<br />
* Red is the only character based on a [[core series]] player character to be a Champion, as it is unconfirmed if any of the other characters based on the player characters have won their respective region's [[Pokémon League|League]].<br />
* Red is depicted mostly as silent in Pokémon Masters EX; across [[Red (game)/Quotes#Pokémon Masters EX|all his lines of dialogue]], he speaks a total of six lines out loud and two lines of inner monologue.<br />
* The English names of Sygna Suit Red and Red's [[List of moves in Pokémon Masters EX#List of Trainer moves|Trainer moves]] are possible [[List of cross-canon references|references]] to the lyrics of the [[Pokémon Theme]].<br />
* Sygna Suit Red & Charizard were the first fair-exclusive {{type|Fire}} sync pair.<br />
* Red & Snorlax were the first fair-exclusive {{type|Normal}} sync pair.<br />
** Red and {{mas|N}} are the only Trainers to form the first fair-exclusive sync pair for more than one type.<br />
* Red is the first Trainer in Pokémon Masters EX to use both [[Mega Evolution]] and [[Dynamax]].<br />
* Red is the only Trainer in Pokémon Masters EX whose sygna suit variant was made available before their regular attire.<br />
** Possibly for the same reason, Red is also the only Trainer whose battle music is unlocked in the Jukebox by raising their sygna suit variant to 6★ EX rather than their regular attire.<br />
* In Red's sync pair story, Leaf says that Red's Snorlax is the same one he caught in Kanto.<ref> Sync pair story: A Day with Red Leaf: "Did you know that this Snorlax is the one Red caught on our first adventure?"</ref><br />
* All versions of Red use special voice-over lines upon winning a battle in a team that contains certain Trainers (regardless of their partner Pokémon). Those Trainers include {{mas|Blue}}, {{mas|Leaf}}, {{mas|Elaine}}, {{mas|Chase}}, {{mas|Ethan}}, and {{mas|Leon}}.<br />
* In {{mas|Kris}}'s sygna suit's sync pair story, Leaf mentions that Red once saw a {{p|Suicune}} in Kanto, referencing the {{pkmn2|roaming}} Suicune that appears in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} if the player's first partner Pokémon was {{p|Charmander}}.<br />
* Sygna Suit Red (Thunderbolt) & Pikachu were the first Master Fair-exclusive sync pair capable of using [[Max Move|max moves]].<br />
* In his thunderbolt sygna suit's sync pair story, it is revealed that Red caught his Pikachu in [[Viridian Forest]].<br />
** In the same sync pair story, it is also mentioned that Red used Pikachu in his [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}}s against {{mas|Brock}}'s {{TP|Brock|Onix}} and {{mas|Lt. Surge}}'s {{TP|Lt. Surge|Raichu}}, which could be [[List of cross-canon references|references]] to {{Ash}} using his own {{AP|Pikachu}} against the same Pokémon in the {{pkmn|anime}}.<br />
* Red and Blue are the first characters to be both a Champion and a Neo Champion.<br />
* In his champion outfit's sync pair story, it's revealed that Red saw Articuno in binoculars [[Kanto Route 15|near]] [[Fuchsia City]] before catching it at [[Seafoam Islands]], similar to the core series games.<br />
* Red & Venusaur are the first sync pair exclusive to mix sync pair scouts. Consequentially, they are the first sync pair that can only be scouted using paid {{mas|gem}}s.<br />
<br />
===Origin===<br />
{{TP|Red|Charizard}} is the final [[evolution]] of {{p|Charmander}}, one of the [[first partner Pokémon]] of [[Kanto]] in the [[core series]] games. Charizard is one of the Pokémon that Red typically uses as a [[non-player character]] in the core series games, with him [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolving]] it in {{pkmn|Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon}}, {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon}}. In addition, Red's {{g|Origins}}, [[Pokémon Evolutions]] and [[Pokémon Zensho]] counterparts have been depicted with Charizard, with the former being the first piece of media to show Charizard Mega Evolving into Mega Charizard X. Charizard's {{mas|Dex}} entry comes from {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}.<br />
<br />
Red's design is based on his appearance in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}. Snorlax is one of the Pokémon that Red typically uses as a non-player character in the core series. Red's Snorlax may be based on the two Snorlax barring the player's progress in the Kanto-based games. In addition, Red's {{OBP|Red|Origins|Pokémon Origins}} and {{adv|Red|Pokémon Adventures}} counterparts have been depicted with a Snorlax. Snorlax's Dex entry comes from {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Pokémon Ultra Sun}}.<br />
<br />
Venusaur is the final evolution of {{p|Bulbasaur}}, one of the first partner Pokémon of Kanto in the core series games. Venusaur is one of the Pokémon that Red typically uses as a non-player character in the core series games, with it being his signature Pokémon in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]]. In addition, Red's [[Pokémon Adventures]] counterpart owns a [[Saur|Venusaur]], while his {{g|Generations}} counterpart is depicted with a Bulbasaur, the unevolved form of Venusaur. Venusaur's Dex entry comes from Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire.<br />
<br />
{{TP|Red|Pikachu}} is the player's first Pokémon in {{game|Yellow}}. Pikachu would later act as Red's signature Pokémon as a non-player character in the core series games. Red is shown with a [[Gigantamax]] Pikachu in the {{Trading Card Game}}, with it being the first piece of media to depict {{OBP|Pikachu VMAX|Vivid Voltage 44|Red's Pikachu}} Gigantamaxing. In addition, Red's Pokémon Generations, and Pokémon Adventures counterparts have been depicted with a Pikachu. Pikachu's Dex entry comes from Pokémon Ultra Sun.<br />
<br />
Articuno is a [[Legendary Pokémon]] that can be caught at [[Seafoam Islands]] in the Kanto-based games. In addition, Red's Pokémon Origins counterpart is depicted with an Articuno, while his Pokémon Adventures counterpart temporarily uses {{adv|Green}}'s {{DL|Legendary birds (Adventures)|Articuno}} during the {{pkmn|manga}}. Articuno's Dex entry comes from Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire.<br />

'''Brendan''' (Japanese: '''ユウキ''' ''Yuuki'') is the male choice for the [[player character]] in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} and their [[Generation VI]] remakes, {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}. He also serves as a [[rival]] in the same games if the player chooses to play as his female counterpart, {{ga|May}}.<br />
<br />
==Terminology==<br />
He is named '''Brendan''' (Japanese: '''ユウキ''' ''Yuuki'') when he appears as a [[non-player character]] in the [[Generation III]] games and their [[Generation VI]] remakes. He is also known by {{mas|Brendan|the same name}} in [[Pokémon Masters EX]].<br />
<br />
He is known as '''Orlando''' (Japanese: '''オメガ''' ''Omega'') in pre-release media for [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], including the [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire Special Demo Version|Special Demo Version]]. He is named '''ラルド''' (''Rald'') in some screenshots of {{game|Emerald}} on the Japanese Nintendo website.<ref>[https://www.nintendo.co.jp/n08/bpej/frontier2/index.html Pokémon Emerald on Nintendo] (Japanese)</ref><br />
<br />
==In the core series games==<br />
===As the protagonist===<br />
[[File:May Brendan Credits ORAS.png|thumb|200px|May and Brendan after the events of the game]]<br />
If Brendan is selected as the player character, he starts his {{pkmn|journey}} moving from his home in [[Johto]] to his new home in the town of {{to|Littleroot}} in [[Hoenn]]. After saving [[Professor Birch]] from a [[wild Pokémon]], he is given one of the three first partner Pokémon of the Hoenn [[region]]. Brendan develops a close bond with {{ga|May}}, and eventually [[Wally]], who both act as his rivals. Brendan goes on to gather the eight Badges of Hoenn, stop the plans of [[Team Aqua]]{{sup/3|Sa}}{{sup/3|E}}{{sup/6|AS}}/[[Team Magma]]{{sup/3|Ru}}{{sup/3|E}}{{sup/6|OR}} and conquer the Pokémon League all before going off to face the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}{{sup/3|E}}.<br />
<br />
===As a non-playable character===<br />
[[File:Brendan Rival ORAS.png|thumb|200px|Brendan as the rival]]<br />
If Brendan is not selected as the player, he is helping his father Birch finish the Hoenn [[Pokédex]] and becoming a Pokémon Professor. He is also the player's [[rival]] and friend. Along with May (when playing as Brendan), they are the only rivals unavailable for battle after entering the [[Hall of Fame]]. Additionally, they both are the only ones to not [[evolution|evolve]] their first partner Pokémon into its final form, except for in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, where their first partner Pokémon have been fully-evolved by the battle that takes place after the [[credits]].<br />
<br />
Both of Brendan's parents appear in the video games, his father [[Professor Birch]] and an unnamed mother. In {{g|Emerald}}, he also has a younger brother who also lacks a known name. He is neighbors with the player character and their family.<br />

===[[Pokémon Masters EX]]===<br />
{{main|Brendan (Masters)}}<br />
Brendan, who is based on the [[player character]], forms a [[sync pair]] with {{p|Treecko}} and its evolved forms {{p|Grovyle}} and {{p|Sceptile}}, along with {{p|Latios}} in [[Pokémon Masters EX]]. Both his Sceptile and Latios are capable of [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolving]]. Brendan has been a playable sync pair since the game's release.<br />
<br />
Brendan has also made notable appearances in the game's Main Stories: the [[PML Arc]], [[Legendary Adventures]], and the [[Villain Arc]].<br />

===[[Pokémon GO]]===<br />
{{main|Style (GO)}}<br />
For the start of Pokémon GO Tour: Hoenn, Brendan's outfit from {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}} was released as free style options in [[Pokémon GO]].<br />
<br />
==Quotes==<br />
{{main|Brendan (game)/Quotes}}<br />
<br />
==Optional names==<br />
In the game, two of the optional names—one in Ruby and one in Sapphire—refer to "land" and "sea" respectively. In the English version, these are '''Land'''on and '''Sea'''n; in the Japanese version, リクヤ '''''Riku'''ya'' and カイト '''''Kai'''to'' (陸 ''riku'' means land and 海 ''kai'' means sea). This is also the case in other languages. Additionally, in the English version, two of the shared names—Terry and Seth—seem to be influenced by the same theme.<br />
<br />
In Emerald, if the player leaves the name writing screen without any written name, or with a name composed entirely of empty spaces, Professor Birch says "So it's <optional name>?", suggesting one of the 20 available names. The player may answer "Yes" to accept the suggested name, or "No" to return to the name writing screen.<br />

==In the TFG==<br />
There are three {{TFG|Trainer figure|Trainer figures}} based on Brendan. They are versions of Brendan with the same design, but with different colors. In all figures, Brendan uses his sweater and backpack from {{game|Emerald}}, and his pants and shoes from {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}.<br />
<br />
* {{TFG ID|Next Quest|Brendan|41}} (Japanese: ユウキ ''Yūki'') from {{TFG|Next Quest}}, wearing clothes with blue in place of the red or orange colors from the other figures.<br />
* {{TFG ID|Groundbreakers|Landon|41}} (Japanese: リクヤ ''Rikuya'') from {{TFG|Groundbreakers}}, wearing clothes with the color palette from Ruby and Sapphire.<br />
* {{TFG ID|Unnamed Third Set|Sean|41}} (Japanese: カイト ''Kaito''), from the {{TFG|Unnamed Third Set}}, wearing clothes with the color palette from Emerald.<br />
<br />
The Brendan figure is part of the single released set, Next Quest. The other two sets were not released, so the Landon and Sean figures were not released either.<br />

===In the anime===<br />
<br />
====Main series====<br />
[[File:Brendan anime.png|thumb|250px|Brendan in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]<br />
Brendan's only appearances in the main series are small cameos in the opening sequences of {{pkmn|movie}}s, specifically ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'', ''[[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'', and ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''. He is shown to spend time in [[Battle Tower]]s. In all of his appearances, he has appeared with his Ruby and Sapphire outfit.<br />
<br />
Unlike in the games, he has never interacted with [[May (anime)|May]]. It is unknown if he has ever met her, or even if his parents are the same as in the games, as neither [[Norman]] nor [[Professor Birch]] has mentioned him.<br />

<br />
====Pokémon Generations====<br />
[[File:Brendan PG.png|thumb|250px|Brendan in [[Pokémon Generations]]]]<br />
Brendan appeared in ''[[PG07|The Vision]]'', where he was first seen battling several {{tc|Team Magma Grunt}}s with his {{p|Sceptile}} while infiltrating the [[Team Magma Hideout]], before running into [[Courtney]]. She then challenged him to a battle with her {{p|Camerupt}} just as [[Maxie]] and the rest of Team Magma headed for the [[Seafloor Cavern]] aboard [[Submarine Explorer 1]].<br />
<br />
Much like the other [[player character]]s depicted in [[Pokémon Generations]], Brendan doesn't have any lines of dialogue.<br />
<br />
Later in ''[[PG09|The Scoop]]'', a trainer was seen battling and catching Deoxys with Mega Rayquaza, although due to the trainers hidden face, it can't be 100% confirmed this was the same Brendan from ''[[PG07|The Vision]]''.<br />

{{MissingInfo|1|enva}}<br />
[[File:Brendan ORAS Trailer.png|thumb|250px|Brendan in the Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire Animated Trailer]]<br />
Brendan appeared in the [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire Animated Trailer]], where he was first seen sleeping in his house in [[Littleroot Town]]. A {{p|Treecko}} comes by and wakes him up. He then runs to {{ga|May}}'s house as the [[first partner Pokémon]] were playing with one another. Brendan encountered a {{tc|Youngster}} and battled his {{p|Zigzagoon}} with {{p|Treecko}}.<br />
<br />
Later, sometime after his Treecko evolved all the way up into Sceptile, Brendan battled {{Steven}} and his {{TP|Steven|Mega Metagross|Metagross}}. Brendan then [[soaring in the sky|soared in the sky]] with his Mega {{p|Latios}} alongside May and her Mega {{p|Latias}}.<br />

* In [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], {{SSB|Pikachu}} wears Brendan's headband from {{game|Emerald}} as an alternate costume. Also, the {{SSB|Pokémon Trainer}} has an alternate costume with a similar color scheme as Brendan's Emerald outfit.<br />
* He and {{ga|May}} are the only set of [[player character]]s who have a chance to speak with both a [[mother]] and a father in the {{pkmn|games}}.<br />
* Before {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, Brendan and May were the only rivals whose [[first partner Pokémon]] does not reach its final form.<br />
* In the fandom, Brendan's [https://twitter.com/SUPER_32X/status/40800048816209920 knit cap] has commonly been mistaken for white hair. Although largely obscured by his headwear, Brendan's actual hair is visible in most depictions, usually black in color.<br />
* While the second battle with Brendan (or May if he is the player character) is optional, the encounter leading up to it is not.<br />
** Therefore, after returning the [[Devon Goods]] before encountering Brendan or May in Rustboro City, if the player [[Black out|blacks out]] without ever visiting the [[Pokémon Center]] in Rustboro City (which causes the player character to rush to [[Petalburg City]]'s Pokémon Center instead), the encounter and optional battle take place in {{rt|104|Hoenn}} in front of [[Mr. Briney]]'s house instead.<br />
* Similarly to May, Brendan's attire in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire is mainly based on his appearance in {{game|Emerald}}.<br />

<br />
'''Blue Oak''' (Japanese: '''グリーン''' ''Green''<!-- no surname given in Japanese -->) is the [[rival]] of the {{player}} and the {{pkmn|Champion}} in the [[Generation I]] games, as well as in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, their [[Generation III]] [[remake]]s.<br />
<br />
Sometime during the three years between the plotline of the Generation I games, Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, and the events of the [[Generation II]] games and their remakes, {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, as well as during the events of [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], Blue takes the place of [[Giovanni]] as the [[Viridian City]] [[Gym Leader]], as Giovanni had disappeared after he disbanded [[Team Rocket]]. Blue does not specialize in a particular type of Pokémon and, like Giovanni before him, he gives anyone who defeats him an {{Badge|Earth}}.<br />
<br />
In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon]], [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon]], he is one of the leaders of [[Alola]]'s [[Battle Tree]], the other being {{ga|Red}}.<br />
<br />
==Terminology==<br />
[[File:Yellow manual story.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Blue named ブルー (''Blue'') in the manual of Pokémon Yellow]]<br />
[[File:Ash Gary game.png|thumb|160px|Red and Blue called "Ash" and "Gary" in the Nintendo Power guide]]<br />
While he had various names in [[Generation I]], from [[Generation II]] onwards he is referred to as '''Blue''' (Japanese: '''{{j|グリーン}}''' ''Green''). He appears as a [[non-player character]] in several [[core series]] games, [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], and [[Pokémon Masters EX]]. He was named after the [[Generation I]] game [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Pokémon Blue]] in English, or [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Pokémon Green]] in Japanese.<br />
<br />
In the Japanese version, Blue and his sister Daisy are only referred to by their given names, and it is not known if they have the surname of their grandfather [[Professor Oak]]. However, in the English version, Blue's sister is named [[Daisy Oak]], therefore he is presumably named '''Blue Oak''' as well.<br />
<br />
In the player's story as seen in the Japanese game manuals from Generation I, the rival's name refers to a game other than the current one: '''{{j|グリーン}}'''{{sup/1|R}}, '''{{j|レッド}}'''{{sup/1|G}}{{sup/1|B}}, or '''{{j|ブルー}}'''{{sup/1|Y}} (''Green'', ''Red'' or ''Blue''). However, this was adapted as "'''your rival'''" instead in the English version. For instance:<br />
<br />
* In the Japanese manuals of the Generation I games:<br />
*:「となりには{{ruby|幼|おさな}}なじみの'''グリーン'''(ライバル)が{{ruby|住|す}}んでいます」 (''[...] his childhood friend '''Green''' (rival) lives next door.''){{sup/1|R}}<br />
*:「となりには{{ruby|幼|おさな}}なじみの'''レッド'''(ライバル)が{{ruby|住|す}}んでいます」 (''[...] his childhood friend '''Red''' (rival) lives next door.''){{sup/1|G}}{{sup/1|B}}<br />
*:「となりには{{ruby|幼|おさな}}なじみの'''ブルー'''(ライバル)が{{ruby|住|す}}んでいます」 (''[...] his childhood friend '''Blue''' (rival) lives next door.''){{sup/1|Y}}<br />
* In the English manuals:<br />
*: ''"'''Your rival''' lives next door to you."''{{sup/1|RB}}<br />
*: ''"[...] your next door neighbor [...] even thinks of you as his rival."''{{sup/1|Y}}<br />
<br />
In some game screenshots from the English manuals, the rival's name appears as '''Red'''{{sup/1|RB}} or '''{{Gary}}'''{{sup/1|Y}}. In [[Pokémon Stadium]], he is simply known as '''Rival''' (Japanese: '''ライバル''' ''Rival'').<br />
<br />
In the ''[[Pokémon: Official Nintendo Player's Guide]]'' (Nintendo Power, 1998), the rival is named '''Gary''', sharing the name of {{Gary|his anime counterpart}} (while the player character is named Ash on this guide). This is also found in the list of default names.<br />
<br />
He is also known by some placeholder names, which are stored in the game data but not available in normal gameplay: '''{{wp|Sony}}'''{{sup/1|RBY}} (Japanese: '''いしはら''' ''Ishihara''{{sup/1|RG}}; '''クリチャ''' ''Kuricha''{{sup/1|B}}{{sup/1|Y}}) or '''Terry''' (Japanese: '''みてい''' ''Undefined''){{sup/3|FRLG}}. At least in Generation I, there are some hidden game mechanics that would display this name, therefore it should become visible if some {{wp|Random-access memory|RAM}} {{wp|memory address|addresses}} were changed.<ref>[http://acmlm.kafuka.org/board/thread.php?pid=18912#18912 Intresting and funny in Pokemon Red Acmlmboard]</ref><br />
<br />
* The English "'''Sony'''" references the fact that in the years surrounding the releases of the Generation I games, Sony was Nintendo's main competition, while the player's placeholder name is "Ninten" in those games.<br />
* The Japanese '''いしはら''' (''Ishihara'') refers to [[Tsunekazu Ishihara]], the current president and {{wp|Chief executive officer|CEO}} of [[The Pokémon Company]] and who was the games' producer at the time<br />
* The Japanese '''クリチャ''' (''Kuricha'') refers to [[Creatures, Inc.]] (Japanese: クリーチャーズ ''Creatures'').<br />
* The Japanese '''みてい''' is a placeholder for no name given yet. Possible translations are "Undefined", "Pending", or "TBD".<br />
<br />
During the development stage of {{game|Red and Green|s}}, he was initially named '''ギャラ夫''' (''Gyarao''), a reference to him being a Trainer of {{p|Gyarados}}.<ref>[https://twitter.com/SUPER_32X/status/524989875867504641 Ken Sugimori's Twitter]</ref><br />
<br />
==In the core series games==<br />
He is a very cocky and somewhat unfriendly young man, typically bidding people farewell with "Smell ya later!" (Japanese: '''バイビー！''' ''Baibii!''), and his primary motivation throughout the game is to become the greatest Trainer. Aside from that main goal, he also seems to take satisfaction from always being one step ahead of the player character. He eventually accomplishes his goal, defeating the [[Kanto]] [[Elite Four]] and becoming the [[Pokémon Champion]], but is quickly defeated by the player, losing the position.<br />
<br />
In {{game2|Red|Green|Blue}}, {{game|Yellow}}, and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, Blue is the player's rival. He used to be a good childhood friend of {{ga|Red}} but became mean as they grew older. He believes that Red is his rival because they are of the same age and height. He will meet up with the player as they journey across the [[Kanto]] region, challenging them every once in a while to test their skills. Like the player, he receives a first partner Pokémon from Professor Oak, his grandfather: the one he chooses will be of the type which weakens the type of the player's choice. In Yellow, he will take the {{p|Eevee}} Professor Oak had intended for the player.<br />
<br />
Eventually, Blue becomes the {{pkmn|Champion}} at [[Indigo Plateau]], though he is defeated by the player before Professor Oak arrives to congratulate him. Once [[Professor Oak]] arrives, he deems Blue to have not realized how to care for Pokémon, which he commends the player for. Frustrated, Blue journeys to the [[Sevii Islands]] at Professor Oak's request, obtaining new Pokémon to use in his matches against the player at the Indigo Plateau (as all in-game Champions return to their position on the player's return to their hometown).<br />
<br />
In {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, however, it is revealed that, after he was defeated at the Indigo Plateau by Red ({{ga|Leaf}} does not appear and is not mentioned in the remake games, and did not exist at the time of Generation II), Blue returned to [[Pallet Town]]. As [[Viridian Gym]]'s [[Gym Leader|Leader]], [[Giovanni]], had abandoned it on his defeat at the hands of Red, Blue took the position, now handing out the {{Badge|Earth}} to Trainers who bested him. In Generation IV, he also distributes {{TM|92|Trick Room}} to those who win the Earth Badge, but does not give a TM out in Generation II. He has not lost his nature as a traveling Trainer, however, and frequently leaves his Gym, creating problems for Trainers who wish to challenge him. When they do find him wherever he is, he points them in the direction of [[Viridian Gym]] for an official league battle. Blue will not battle the player until they have the other seven Kanto Badges in the remakes. However, in the originals he can be challenged as early as after the meeting on [[Cinnabar Island]].<br />
<br />
In HeartGold and SoulSilver only, the player can face Blue in a [[rematch]] at the [[Fighting Dojo]]. The method of obtaining his number is slightly different from the other Gym Leaders. The player must have their Pokémon at maximum friendship and have it massaged by [[Daisy Oak]] seven times. After the seventh time, she will give the player Blue's phone number when spoken to. He can be called for a rematch on Sunday night.<br />
<br />
In {{B2W2}}, the player can challenge Blue in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]]. He participates in the [[Champions Tournament]], with Giovanni filling in his space as a Kanto Gym Leader.<br />
<br />
While he does not appear in {{pkmn|X and Y}}, Blue is mentioned by a woman in the Magenta Plaza Pokémon Center in [[Lumiose City]], who says that Blue traveled to the [[Kalos]] region to study abroad.<br />
<br />
In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon]], [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon]], Blue appears at [[Alola]]'s [[Battle Tree]], having been invited to be a leader of the facility alongside Red. When the player first enters the facility area, Red and Blue will appear to greet the player and congratulate them on becoming the Champion of Alola, after which the player gets to battle against one of them.<br />
<br />
In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], Blue is first encountered in [[Pewter City]] after the player has defeated [[Brock]]. He mentions how he also left on a journey from Pallet Town sometime earlier than the player, and, as Professor Oak hadn't made a [[Pokédex]] by the time he left for his journey, had had to resort to scribbling down on a map what Pokémon he encountered and where. He's later briefly met again aboard the [[S.S. Anne]], where he will give the player a [[Shalour Sable]] and warn them and {{ga|Trace}} about Team Rocket. If talked to aboard the ship, Trace can reveal that Blue actually defeated the Elite Four several years ago. When Team Rocket later takes over Silph Co., Blue is met again at the first floor of the company's office building in [[Saffron City]]. He talks about going to the Pokémon League to ask the Elite Four's help in taking down Team Rocket, but wishes to battle the player and Trace first before doing so. After the player has defeated Blue, Trace battles him next while the player starts climbing the building.<br />
<br />
After the player has earned seven Badges, Blue appears in [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] in Pallet Town, where he congratulates the player and Trace from defeating Team Rocket at Silph Co., rewarding them with a [[Key Stone]] each and also giving the player all the Kanto first partner Pokémon [[Mega Stone]]s. Once the player has defeated Giovanni at the Viridian Gym, Blue meets the player in front of it and reveals that he had been asked multiple times to take over the Gym, and now that Giovanni has left it, he decides to finally accept the request and become the new Viridian Gym Leader. Trace earns his final Badge from him soon afterwards. During the post-game, the player can rematch Blue at the Gym once per day.<br />

====Main series====<br />
{{main|Gary Oak}}<br />
Blue receives an [[cross-canon counterpart|anime counterpart]] in Gary Oak, [[Ash Ketchum]]'s rival. Much like Blue, Gary was initially very arrogant, but mellowed out after he was defeated by his rival during the [[Silver Conference]]. Unlike Blue, however, Gary has not been shown to have taken over the [[Viridian Gym]]. Instead, he has decided to become a Pokémon researcher like his grandfather, and is currently a part of [[Project Mew]].<br />
<br />
====Pokémon Origins====<br />
{{main|Blue (Origins)}}<br />
Blue also had a direct counterpart that appeared in the [[Pokémon Origins]] mini-series. This counterpart shared Blue's name, in-game role, and design.<br />

====Pokémon Generations====<br />
[[File:Blue PG.png|250px|thumb|Blue in [[Pokémon Generations]]]]<br />
Blue prominently appeared in ''[[PG03|The Challenger]]''. At the beginning of the episode, he was the subject of the [[Elite Four]]'s latest conversation, where they described him as a very strong Trainer who was the first in a long time to have collected eight Gym [[Badge]]s. He was subsequently shown challenging the Elite Four at the [[Indigo Plateau]] and defeating each member with relative ease, thus claiming the title of {{pkmn|Champion}}. Shortly after this, he was seen welcoming {{ga|Red}} and accepting his challenge.<br />

==Trivia==<br />
* In [[Generation I]] games, the rival appears with no Trainer class, for instance simply "<name> wants to fight!" However, in the game data, there are three separate Trainer classes used by the rival character: <sc>Rival1</sc> (Japanese: ライバル1 ''Rival 1''), <sc>Rival2</sc> (Japanese: ライバル2 ''Rival 2''), and <sc>Rival3</sc> (Japanese: ライバル3 ''Rival 3''). Each of these Trainer classes corresponds to a different sprite used in-game, and the {{pkmn|Champion}} battle theme music plays when the player is battling the last one.<br />
* Blue's [[first partner Pokémon]] is {{p|Charmander}} by default in the data of [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Pokémon Red, Blue]], [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed, and LeafGreen]]. If the {{player}} were able to progress without receiving a first partner Pokémon, then Blue's team in all battles would be the same as if the player had chosen {{p|Bulbasaur}}. This would be changed if the player gets their first partner Pokémon later at any point, causing Blue to use the correct team based on the player's first partner Pokémon from this point onwards.<br />
* Along with {{ga|Red}}, [[Lance]], and the [[Generation I]] and {{Gen|III}} [[Kanto]] [[Gym Leader]]s (excluding [[Koga]] and [[Giovanni]]), Blue has appeared in [[generation]]s I-V of the [[Pokémon games]]. He is also the only [[rival]] with this feat.<br />
* Blue is the only character that has been a [[Rival]], {{pkmn|Champion}}, and [[Gym Leader]].<br />
* His English name Blue Oak is the name of a species of {{wp|Quercus douglasii|oak tree}}. He shares this distinction with his {{Gary|anime counterpart}}, {{wp|Quercus garryana|Gary Oak}}.<br />
* Blue's [[level]] 60 {{p|Pidgeot}} in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} is the highest level Pokémon used by a Gym Leader outside of [[rematch]]es.<br />
* Blue is the only Gym Leader who:<br />
** Shares his name with his Gym's [[Badge]], as the Earth Badge is called the "Green Badge" in Japanese, matching Blue's Japanese name.<br />
** Uses a full [[party]] of six Pokémon in a Gym battle.<br />
** Does not have a [[Type expert|specialty type]].<br />
** Was a Champion before he became Gym Leader.<br />
* Blue and [[Piers]] are the only Gym Leaders the [[player character]] battles for a [[badge]] that do not have a gym slogan.<br />
* In the Round 2 battle of {{g|Stadium 2}}, each of Blue's Pokémon is the signature Pokémon of a Trainer battled at the end of a stage at the Johto [[Gym Leader Castle]]: {{p|Scyther}} is the signature Pokémon of [[Bugsy]], {{p|Miltank}} is the signature Pokémon of [[Whitney]], {{p|Gengar}} is the signature Pokémon of [[Morty]], {{p|Houndoom}} is the signature Pokémon of [[Archer]], {{p|Piloswine}} is the signature Pokémon of [[Pryce]], and {{p|Kingdra}} is the signature Pokémon of [[Clair]].<br />
* In Pokémon Yellow, half of Blue's Pokémon team are evolved by using [[Evolution stone]]s (or 2/3 of the team if Eevee evolved into {{p|Jolteon}}). This may be a nod to his first Pokémon in that game, {{p|Eevee}}.<br />
** Coincidentally, {{p|Magneton}}, a Pokémon he can use in these games, would later be made capable of evolving further into {{p|Magnezone}}, which itself would become a potentially [[Thunder Stone]]-induced evolution starting in [[Generation VIII]].<br />
* In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, if the player chose {{p|Squirtle}}, none of Blue's Pokémon share a type in the Champion rematch, making him the first Champion with this trait.<br />
* In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], Blue's team is similar to [[Professor Oak]]'s [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|unused team]] from [[Generation I]].<br />

'''Red''' (Japanese: '''{{j|レッド}}''' ''Red'') is the {{player|player character}} in the [[Generation I]] games [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Pokémon Red, Green]], [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Blue]], and {{v2|Yellow}} and the male choice in their [[Generation III]] remakes {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, where his female counterpart is {{ga|Leaf}}.<br />
<br />
Red is known throughout the [[Pokémon world]] as the {{pkmn|Champion}} from [[Pallet Town]], as well as a living legend for his defeat of [[Team Rocket]] in [[Kanto]] during his quest. He is the final opponent in the [[Generation II]] games {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, their [[Generation IV]] remakes {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, and {{g|Stadium 2}}. He is a participant in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]]'s [[Champions Tournament]] in {{B2W2}} and works as a boss of the [[Battle Tree]] alongside {{ga|Blue}} in the [[Generation VII]] games {{pkmn|Sun and Moon|Sun, Moon}}, {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon}}. In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], he appears as the highest-level Trainer in the game, capable of being challenged after defeating six [[Master Trainer]]s.<br />
<br />
==Terminology==<br />
[[File:Yellow manual story.jpg|thumb|200px|Red named イエロー (''Yellow'') in the manual of Pokémon Yellow]]<br />
[[File:Red playing card.jpg|thumb|150px|Red named グリーン (''Green'') on a [[Pokémon playing cards|playing card]] from the Pokémon Green deck released in Japan]]<br />
[[File:GameFreak 1997 fanbook MC Satoshi.jpg|thumb|152px|Red named サトシ (''Satoshi'') by Game Freak]]<br />
[[File:Ash Gary game.png|thumb|160px|Red and Blue called "Ash" and "Gary" in the Nintendo Power guide]]<br />
<br />
While he had various names in [[Generation I]], from [[Generation II]] onwards he is referred to as '''Red''' (Japanese: '''{{j|レッド}}''' ''Red'') in several [[core series]] games where he appears as a [[non-player character]], in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], and he is known by {{mas|Red|the same name}} in [[Pokémon Masters EX]]. He is also known by this name in the game data of [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|Pokémon FireRed, LeafGreen]], and [[Pokémon Emerald Version|Emerald]], but this is not seen in normal gameplay. He was named after the [[Generation I]] game [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Pokémon Red]].<br />
<br />
In the player's story as seen in the Japanese game manuals from [[Generation I]], the player name refers to the name of the current game: '''{{j|レッド}}'''{{sup/1|R}}, '''{{j|グリーン}}'''{{sup/1|G}}, '''{{j|ブルー}}'''{{sup/1|B}}, or '''{{j|イエロー}}'''{{sup/1|Y}} (''Red'', ''Green'', ''Blue'', or ''Yellow''). However, this was adapted as "'''you'''" instead in the English version. For instance:<br />
<br />
* In the Japanese manuals of the Generation I games:<br />
*:「'''レッド'''({{ruby|主人公|しゅじんこう}})は11{{ruby|歳|さい}}」 ('''''Red''' (player character) is 11 years old.''){{sup/1|R}}<br />
*:「'''グリーン'''({{ruby|主人公|しゅじんこう}})は11{{ruby|歳|さい}}」 ('''''Green''' (player character) is 11 years old.''){{sup/1|G}}<br />
*:「'''ブルー'''({{ruby|主人公|しゅじんこう}})は11{{ruby|歳|さい}}」 ('''''Blue''' (player character) is 11 years old.''){{sup/1|B}}<br />
*:「'''イエロー'''({{ruby|主人公|しゅじんこう}})は11{{ruby|歳|さい}}」 ('''''Yellow''' (player character) is 11 years old.''){{sup/1|Y}}<br />
* In the English manuals (except his age is not mentioned in Pokémon Yellow's English manual):<br />
*: ''"'''You''' are an 11-old boy [...]"''{{sup/1|RB}}<br />
<br />
In the Japanese {{pkmn|playing cards}}, he is named '''{{j|レッド}}''' (''Red'') in the Pokémon Red deck and '''{{j|グリーン}}''' (''Green'') in the Pokémon Green deck. The text {{ruby|主人公|しゅじんこう}} (''player character'') also appears on his card from both the Red and Green decks. However, in the Pokémon Blue and Yellow decks released later, he is unnamed and simply referred to with this Japanese text meaning "player character".<br />
<br />
In some game screenshots from the English manuals, the male player character is named '''Blue'''{{sup/1|RB}}, '''{{Ash}}'''{{sup/1|Y}}, '''Red'''{{sup/3|FR}}, or '''Green'''{{sup/3|LG}} (while the {{ga|Leaf|female player character}} is named Fire{{sup/3|FR}} or Leaf{{sup/3|LG}}).<br />
<br />
He was also named '''Ash''' (Japanese: '''{{j|サトシ}}''' ''Satoshi'') in some early official media, sharing the name of {{Ash|his anime counterpart}}. This is also found in the list of default names. The Japanese version is also the name of the [[Satoshi Tajiri|creator of the franchise]] and one of Red's default names.<br />
* In the ''Official Fan Book of Pocket Monsters'' (Japanese: '''{{j|ポケットモンスター公式ファンブック}}''') from 1997, the player is named '''サトシ''' (''Satoshi'') according to [[Game Freak]], in which his appearance (as well as [[Professor Oak]] and [[Giovanni]]) in the then-upcoming {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} games was teased.<ref>[http://hakuda2.web.fc2.com/ir/poke4/b5.html ボツポケモン応援隊] ([https://archive.is/JR0Yn archived copy])</ref> This may indicate that this name was originally considered for this game character.<br />
* In ''[[Pokémon: Official Nintendo Player's Guide]]'' (Nintendo Power, 1998), the player is named '''Ash''' (while the rival is named Gary at this point).<br />
* In ''[[Pokémon Gold and Silver: Official Nintendo Player's Guide]]'' (Nintendo Power, 2000), he is usually named '''Red''' in several sections explaining the story and mechanics of the games, except he is also named '''Ash''' at some point. In ''[[Pokémon Crystal: Official Nintendo Player's Guide]]'' (Nintendo Power, 2001), some content was reused but the name "Ash" was edited out:<br />
*: ''"Pokémon Gold & Silver also feature the world of Kanto, which '''Ash''' explored in Pokémon Red, Blue and Yellow."'' (Pokémon Gold and Silver guidebook, page 4)<br />
*: ''"Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal also feature the world of Kanto, which '''originally appeared''' in Pokémon Red, Blue and Yellow."'' (Pokémon Crystal guidebook, page 4)<br />
<br />
In the [[Super Smash Bros. series]], the male version of the character known only as "{{OBP|Pokémon Trainer|Super Smash Bros.}}" is based on Red.<br />
<br />
He is also known by some other placeholder names, which are stored in the game data but not available in normal gameplay: '''[[Nintendo|Ninten]]'''{{sup/1|RBY}} (Japanese: '''やまぐち''' ''Yamaguchi''{{sup/1|RG}}; '''ゲーフリ''' ''Gēfuri''{{sup/1|B}}; '''ゲーフリ1''' ''Gēfuri1''{{sup/1|Y}}). At least in Generation I, there are some hidden game mechanics that would display this name, therefore it should become visible if some {{wp|Random-access memory|RAM}} {{wp|memory address|addresses}} were changed.<ref>[http://acmlm.kafuka.org/board/thread.php?pid=18912#18912 Intresting and funny in Pokemon Red Acmlmboard]</ref><br />
<br />
* The English "'''Ninten'''" is short for [[Nintendo]], while the rival's placeholder name is "Sony" in those games. This references the fact that in the years surrounding the releases of the Generation I games, Sony was Nintendo's main competition. {{wb|Ninten}} is also the default name of the main protagonist of {{wb|Mother (video game)|Mother}}, a game developed by [[Creatures, Inc.]].<br />
* The Japanese '''やまぐち''' (''Yamaguchi'') refers to Wataru Yamaguchi, an art director that worked on the original games.<br />
* The Japanese '''ゲーフリ''' (''Gēfuri'') and '''ゲーフリ1''' (''Gēfuri1'') refer to [[Game Freak]] (Japanese: ゲームフリーク ''Gēmu Furīku'').<br />
<br />
In some screenshots of Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen on the Japanese website pokemon.co.jp, the player is named '''オサム''' (''Osamu'').<ref>[https://www.pokemon.co.jp/game/gba/fl/item.html ポケットモンスター ファイアレッド・リーフグリーン - Pokémon.co.jp]</ref><br />
<br />
In the Spanish version of FireRed, LeafGreen, and Emerald, his placeholder name has the syllables reversed: he is known as "Joro" instead of "Rojo" (while his {{ga|Leaf|female counterpart}} is known as "Jaho" instead of "Hoja").<br />
<br />
==In the core series games==<br />
{{spoilers}}<br />
Red is introduced as a curious 11-year-old boy from [[Pallet Town]]. According to the instruction manuals of {{3v2|Red|Green|Blue}}, Red gained an interest in Pokémon after his best friend, {{ga|Blue}}, stopped playing with him and became a bully, although in the games [[Professor Oak]] says the two have been rivals since infancy. His adventure begins one day when Professor Oak calls the two to his lab for a [[first partner Pokémon]]. Red has a choice of a {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, or {{p|Squirtle}}{{sup/1|G}}{{sup/1|RB}}{{sup/3|FRLG}}. Depending on the Pokémon that Red chooses, Blue will choose the Pokémon that has a type advantage over it{{sup/1|G}}{{sup/1|RB}}{{sup/3|FRLG}}. In {{game|Yellow}}, Red was originally intended to get an {{p|Eevee}}, which was swiped by Blue. As a result, Blue keeps the Eevee and Red receives a {{OBP|Pikachu|Yellow}} that Professor Oak caught earlier{{sup/1|Y}}. Blue challenges Red to a battle immediately to test out his new Pokémon, thinking he will easily beat Red.<br />
<br />
After Red has made his way to [[Viridian City]] to the north and taken [[Parcel|a package]] back to Oak in Pallet Town, Oak gives Red and Blue each a [[Pokédex]] with which to record data on all known Pokémon in the Kanto region to fulfill Oak's dream of creating a full guide on all Pokémon in Kanto. From here, Red and Blue journey across Kanto, collecting Pokémon to build up their teams, and defeating each of the [[Gym Leader]]s in turn, with Blue always one step ahead, showing up from time to time to impede Red's progress.<br />
<br />
Red also comes across a gang of Pokémon thieves, [[Team Rocket]], several times through his journey. He first encounters them trying to steal fossils within Mt. Moon. Then he encounters a member who is running the Nugget Bridge challenge to recruit for the organization on {{rt|24|Kanto}}; and another lone member who has stolen a [[TM]] from a family in [[Cerulean City]]. Eventually, Red uncovers a plot by Team Rocket, infiltrating their [[Team Rocket Hideout|hideout]] beneath the [[Celadon Game Corner]] and encountering their boss, [[Giovanni]]. Defeating him and ousting Team Rocket from Celadon, Red uses the [[Silph Scope]] that Giovanni leaves behind to battle {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon and save [[Mr. Fuji]] in the [[Pokémon Tower]] in [[Lavender Town]], who is being held hostage by Team Rocket. Red soon journeys into Saffron City in the heart of Kanto to find it overrun by Team Rocket, who is attempting to take the recently invented [[Master Ball]] from the [[Silph Co.]] President, and defeats Giovanni again, ending the group's plots for the time being.<br />
<br />
With seven Badges in hand, Red encounters Giovanni for the final time—this time as the [[Gym Leader|Leader]] of the [[Viridian Gym]], his final obstacle before the [[Elite Four]] of [[Indigo Plateau]]. Red defeats him in battle, earning his eighth and final Badge—the {{Badge|Earth}}. He disbands Team Rocket, promising to go into solo training to become a better Trainer.<br />
<br />
Making it through {{ka|Victory Road}} and finally to Indigo Plateau, Red challenges the [[Indigo League]]. First, he defeats the Elite Four and discovers, to his surprise, that Blue has defeated them before him and is therefore the {{pkmn|Champion}} of Kanto. Red defeats Blue in the final battle, becoming the Champion himself, but then continues his training, rather than staying at Indigo Plateau. Encountering an offshoot of Team Rocket in the southern [[Sevii Islands]], lead by Executive [[Archer]], Red reveals with his Earth Badge that Giovanni has disbanded the organization, and, though defeated, the group there intends to revive Team Rocket and bring Giovanni back, having already made plans to force Pokémon to evolve with radio waves.<br />
<br />
Red continues as a wandering Trainer, eventually making his way to [[Mt. Silver Cave]], where he trains his Pokémon alone. In the process, he becomes so distant from the people close to him that he does not even talk to his mom via phone anymore.<br />
<br />
Eventually, {{ga|Ethan}}, {{ga|Kris}}, or {{ga|Lyra}} arrives at Mt. Silver Cave and challenges Red, identified only as a [[Pokémon Trainer]]. If defeated, Red vanishes from Mt. Silver, and returns every time the Elite Four is defeated again by the player of Gold, Silver, Crystal, HeartGold, or SoulSilver.<br />
<br />
Some time later, Red has been shown to finally come back into public life, as he enters the [[Champions Tournament]] of the [[Pokémon World Tournament]] in the [[Unova]] region. In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon]], {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon}}, a visibly older Red is invited to work as the boss of [[Alola]]'s [[Battle Tree]] along with Blue. When {{ga|Elio}} or {{ga|Selene}} first visits the Battle Tree, they will encounter Red and Blue and battle one of them. After Red{{sup/7|SMUSUM}} or Blue{{sup/7|USUM}} is defeated at the Battle Tree proper, Red will reward the player with a full set of Kanto first partner Pokémon [[Mega Stone]]s.<br />
<br />
Red makes an appearance in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]]. In this continuity, he and Blue completed their journeys and defeated the Elite Four years before the player character started their journey. If the player has defeated at least six [[Master Trainer]]s and has six Pokémon in their [[party]], Red can be found in front of the Pokémon League building at Indigo Plateau, where he may be challenged to a battle. Like during all Master Trainer battles, the player isn't allowed to use [[item]]s from their [[Bag]] during this battle. After being defeated, Red will grant the player the title of [[Pokémon Master|Battle Master]] before leaving, though he will reappear for a [[rematch]] each time the player defeats the Elite Four.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon===<br />
As the player character, Red can have on his team any of the 151 Pokémon available during [[Generation I]]. In [[Generation III]], he can have any of the 386 Pokémon available at that time, though only after the player has obtained the [[National Pokédex]].<br />
<br />
When he is encountered as an opponent in [[Generation II]] and [[Generation IV]], Red has a set team, based on Generation I in-game event Pokémon, and has the highest leveled trained Pokémon yet encountered in the series, with his {{TP|Red|Pikachu}} at level 81 in Generation II and at level 88 in Generation IV. In HeartGold and SoulSilver, when he is defeated, all Pokémon in the player's party receive the {{DL|List of Ribbons in the games|Legend Ribbon}}.<br />
<br />
In {{B2W2}}, he can be fought in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]]'s [[Champions Tournament]], using the same team he did in Generation IV, albeit with different movesets.<br />
<br />
In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon]], {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon}}, Red once again uses his team from Generation IV, just with altered movesets. When battled in the [[Battle Tree]] proper, Red will use a randomly selected team from a preset selection of Pokémon.<br />
<br />
In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], Red's team has notable differences to his previous [[core series]] teams, replacing {{p|Charizard}} and {{p|Blastoise}} which now appear as the highest levelled Pokémon in {{ga|Blue}} and {{ga|Green}}'s teams respectively.<br />

==In the side series games==<br />
===[[Pokémon Stadium 2]]===<br />
Red appears in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]]. He can be battled in the Kanto [[Gym Leader Castle]] after the player has defeated all eight Kanto Gym Leaders, being the final opponent the player must defeat in order to clear the Gym Leader Castle challenge.<br />
<br />
During the game's end credits, he is seen having a battle with {{ga|Blue}}.<br />
<br />
====Pokémon====<br />
Red uses vastly different sets of Pokémon than in any of his other appearances, only sharing a couple Pokémon with the teams he uses in the [[core series]]. Notably, this is the only game where he's not seen using {{TP|Red|his Pikachu|Pikachu}}. In Round 2, each of his Pokémon knows {{m|Hidden Power}}.<br />

===Pokémon Colosseum and XD: Gale of Darkness===<br />
Red makes an appearance in both [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]]. While he does not appear in the games' Story Mode, he is playable in the Battle Mode when a FireRed or LeafGreen cartridge is used, with a male player character chosen. He can take on Mt. Battle's 100-battle challenge, as well as compete in Colosseum battles.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Battle Revolution===<br />
Red made a brief appearance in the debut trailer of [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]], having a [[Double Battle]] against {{ga|Leaf}}, using a {{p|Deoxys}} in its Attack Forme and a {{p|Wailord}}. Despite this, he didn't appear in the final cut of the game.<br />
<br />
==In the spin-off games==<br />
===[[Super Smash Bros. series]]===<br />
[[File:Pokemon Trainer Brawl.png|thumb|250px|left|Red in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] with his Pokémon]]<br />
[[File:Pokemon Trainer SSBU.png|thumb|250px|Red in [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]]]<br />
====Pokémon Trainer====<br />
{{main|Pokémon Trainer (Super Smash Bros.)}}<br />
Red is known as the "Pokémon Trainer" in the [[Super Smash Bros. series]]. He has a team consisting of {{p|Squirtle}}, {{p|Ivysaur}}, and {{p|Charizard}}. Rather than fighting himself like most other characters, Red sends his three Pokémon into battle, switching between them in order.<br />
<br />
Red debuted as a playable character in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]. He was absent from [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]], the only game in the series where his {{SSB|Charizard}} is available as an individual fighter. Red returned as a playable character in [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]], and additionally {{ga|Leaf}} debuted as part of his palette swaps, sharing the same title of "Pokémon Trainer". Red is voiced by [[Michele Knotz]] and [[Billy Bob Thompson]] in the English versions of [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]] and [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate|Ultimate]] respectively, and 半場友恵 ''[[Tomoe Hanba]]'' in the Japanese versions.<br />
<br />
====Other references====<br />
* Red's hat appears as an alternate outfit worn by {{SSB|Pikachu}} from [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]] onward, possibly in specific reference to {{game|Yellow}} (which, in turn, was inspired by the anime).<br />
* In [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]], Red is featured as a trophy to represent Pokémon Trainers.<br />
<br />
===[[Pokémon GO]]===<br />
{{main|Style (GO)}}<br />
For [[Pokémon Day]] 2018, Red's outfit from {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} was released as free style option in [[Pokémon GO]].<br />
<br />
===[[Pokémon Masters EX]]===<br />
{{main|Red (Masters)}}<br />
Red, who is based on the [[player character]], forms a [[sync pair]] with {{TP|Red|Charizard}}, {{p|Snorlax}}, {{TP|Red|Pikachu}}, {{p|Articuno}}, and {{p|Venusaur}} in [[Pokémon Masters EX]]. His Charizard is capable of [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolving]] into Mega Charizard X, while his Snorlax and Pikachu are both capable of [[Gigantamax]]ing, and his Venusaur is capable of [[Dynamax]]ing. Red became a playable sync pair on February 28, 2020.<br />
<br />
In this game, Red is indirectly responsible for the creation of the [[Pokémon Masters League]], as him defeating [[Lear]] before the events of the game was what inspired Lear to create [[Pasio]] and the PML in order to get another chance at beating him. Red first appeared as an NPC during the second chapter of [[PML Arc]]. He also made notable appearances later in the PML Arc, and the [[Villain Arc]]. Unlike in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, both Red and {{mas|Leaf}} coexist in this game.<br />

==Quotes==<br />
{{main|Red (game)/Quotes}}<br />
<br />
==Optional names==<br />
When starting a new game of {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, if the player leaves the name writing screen without any written name, or with a name composed entirely of empty spaces, [[Professor Oak]] says, "Right... So your name is <optional name>", suggesting one of the 19 available names; there are 24 names in total, but there are 5 exclusive to FireRed and 5 exclusive to LeafGreen. The player may answer "Yes" to accept the suggested name, or "No" to return to the name writing screen.<br />

==In the TFG==<br />
There are three {{TFG|Trainer figure|Trainer figures}} based on Red with his design from {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, except with different names and colors.<br />
<br />
* {{TFG ID|Next Quest|Red|42}} (Japanese: レッド ''Red'') from {{TFG|Next Quest}}, wearing his usual red clothes.<br />
* {{TFG ID|Groundbreakers|Green|39}} (Japanese: グリーン ''Green'') from {{TFG|Groundbreakers}}, with green hat, shirt and shoes.<br />
* {{TFG ID|Unnamed Third Set|Yellow|42}} (Japanese: イエロー ''Yellow''), from the {{TFG|Unnamed Third Set}}, with yellow hat, shirt and shoes.<br />
<br />
The Red figure is part of the single released set, Next Quest. The other two sets were not released, so the Green and Yellow figures were not released either.<br />

==Counterparts==<br />
===In the anime===<br />
====Main series====<br />
{{main|Ash Ketchum}}<br />
{{main|Ash Ketchum (M20)}}<br />
[[File:Ash debut.png|thumb|250px|Ash Ketchum, Red's {{pkmn|anime}} counterpart]]<br />
Red's loose [[Cross-canon counterpart|anime counterpart]], introduced in the [[EP001|first episode]], is the anime's main character, Ash Ketchum. Like Red, Ash is from Pallet Town, on a {{pkmn|journey}} to become a Pokémon Master. Unlike Red, Ash's journey did not end with Kanto, and Ash continued through every other region introduced in the [[core series]] games until [[Galar]], as well as the [[Orange Archipelago]] south of Kanto, taking the place of the player characters of Generation II during [[Johto]] and Generation V during [[Unova]], and being joined by the anime counterparts of {{ga|May}}, {{ga|Dawn}}, and {{ga|Serena}} during the Hoenn, Sinnoh, and Kalos sagas respectively. Instead of starting with one of the standard three Kanto first partner Pokémon, however, Ash began his journey with a {{AP|Pikachu}}, inspiring {{game|Yellow}}'s creation, as well as causing some to consider Red and Ash to be exactly the same person, most especially due to Red owning {{TP|Red|one|Pikachu}} as well.<br />
<br />
Red has another anime counterpart, {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|M20|an alternate Ash Ketchum}}, who appeared in ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'', ''[[M21|The Power of Us]]'', and ''[[M23|Secrets of the Jungle]]''; these {{pkmn|movie}}s are set in a timeline separate from the main series. This Ash shares the same basic characteristics as the main Ash, but goes on a different journey compared to the main series.<br />
{{-}}<br />
<br />
====Pokémon Origins====<br />
{{main|Red (Origins)}}<br />
[[File:Blaine Arcanine PO.png|thumb|left|250px|Red in [[Pokémon Origins]]]]<br />
Red also had a direct counterpart that appeared as the main character of the [[Pokémon Origins]] mini-series, which takes place in a separate continuity. This counterpart shared Red's name, in-game role, and design from FireRed and LeafGreen. The mini-series follows Red as he challenges the [[Indigo League]] and fights [[Team Rocket]] with his [[first partner Pokémon]], {{TP|Red|Charmander|Charizard}}.<br />
{{-}}<br />
<br />
====Pokémon Generations====<br />
[[File:Red PG.png|thumb|250px|Red in [[Pokémon Generations]]]]<br />
Another direct counterpart of Red appeared in [[Pokémon Generations]]. He first appeared in ''[[PG01|The Adventure]]'', where he {{pkmn2|caught}} a {{TP|Red|Pikachu}} in [[Viridian Forest]]. He then went on to experience various other adventures with his Pikachu across other regions, during which he encountered various {{pkmn2|wild}} and [[Legendary Pokémon]].<br />
<br />
Red briefly reappeared at the end of ''[[PG03|The Challenger]]'', having just defeated the [[Elite Four]] at [[Indigo Plateau]], and preparing to challenge {{ga|Blue}} for the title of the {{pkmn|Champion}}.<br />
<br />
Like the [[core series]] games, Red is not heard speaking during his appearances.<br />

==Trivia==<br />
* Red's title screen and profile front sprites from {{game|Red and Green|s}} correspond to his earlier [[Capsule Monsters]] artwork instead of his final [[Generation I]] artwork. His title screen sprite was updated in {{game|Blue| (Japanese)}} but the profile front sprite remained unchanged.<br />
** In {{game|Yellow}}, he has no title screen sprite and his front sprite is updated in part to match his official artwork and possibly in part to match [[Ash Ketchum]], his anime counterpart, as the frontal section of his hat has the same division in the middle as [[Ash's hat]] from the [[original series]].<br />
* Red's [[party]] in [[Generation II]], {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, {{B2W2}}, and {{game4|SMUSUM}} is based heavily on in-game events from the Generation I games and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}:<br />
** {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Venusaur}}, {{p|Blastoise}}, and {{p|Pikachu}} are the [[game mascot]]s of the four Generation I games: Pokémon Red, Green, Blue, and Yellow. They are also available in all iterations of the original [[Kanto]] plot and can all be obtained in a single save file in Pokémon Yellow;<br />
** {{p|Espeon}} could have been obtained as an {{p|Eevee}} in [[Celadon City]], and Eevee notably serves as {{ga|Blue}}'s [[first partner Pokémon]] in Pokémon Yellow;<br />
** {{p|Lapras}} is given away by a [[Silph Co.]] employee shortly before [[Team Rocket]] is defeated there;<br />
** Two {{p|Snorlax}} are required to be caught or defeated in order to travel to [[Fuchsia City]]. Furthermore, in the Generation II games and Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, only the Snorlax that was previously blocking {{rt|12|Kanto}} (now blocking the entrance to [[Diglett's Cave]]) is available to the {{player}}, suggesting that Red defeated and caught the one blocking {{rt|16|Kanto}}.<br />
*** In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, apart from his Venusaur and Blastoise being fully evolved, Red's team is identical to that of [[Ash Ketchum]] throughout most of the [[S02|Orange Islands]] anime arc.<br />
*** Also in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, the four game mascots all know their [[Generation III]] [[signature move]]s: Venusaur, Charizard, and Blastoise know {{m|Frenzy Plant}}, {{m|Blast Burn}} and {{m|Hydro Cannon}}, respectively, while Pikachu knows {{m|Volt Tackle}}. Furthermore, his Pikachu's moveset coincides with the four moves that [[Ash's Pikachu]] used during ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]'': Volt Tackle, {{m|Quick Attack}}, {{m|Iron Tail}}, and {{m|Thunderbolt}}.<br />
* All six of the Pokémon that Red uses in the core series from HeartGold and SoulSilver to Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon are capable of [[Gigantamax]] in Sword and Shield.<br />
* In HeartGold and SoulSilver, Red's [[level]] 88 [[Red's Pikachu|Pikachu]] is the highest-leveled Pokémon owned by a non-player character outside of [[Battle facility|battle facilities]], tied with [[Cynthia's Garchomp]] during the second [[rematch]] in {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}.<br />
** However, the level of several NPCs' Pokémon in {{4v|Black|White}} are variable and can exceed that of the two, depending on the level of the Pokémon that is [[in-game trade#Generation V|traded]] to them.<br />
* When Red is encountered at the summit of Mt. Silver during Generation II and Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, he has no speech, merely repeating sets of {{wp|ellipsis|ellipses}} <!--2 sets of regular 3-dot ellipses in English GSC and 2 sets of 18-dot ellipses in English HGSS; 10 sets (GSC)/6 sets (HGSS) sets of 2 midline horizontal ellipses each in the Japanese versions--> before beginning the {{pkmn|battle}}. This is a reference to his silent role in [[Generation I]], as he only answered choice questions like <sc>Yes</sc> or <sc>No</sc>. This unique characteristic remains in later [[generation]]s.<br />
** In FireRed and LeafGreen, {{ga|Blue}} sarcastically calls him a "chatty gossip".<br />
*** Blue also jokes about this in Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon.<br />
** Despite this, {{DL|Copycat (character)|Quotes|dialogue that ensues}} when talking to {{OBP|Copycat|character}} in Generation I and FireRed and LeafGreen implies that Red is speaking.<br />
*** Also, only in the Spanish version of HeartGold and SoulSilver, the line "<Trainer> used one <item>!" for opponents using items in battle was localized as "<Trainer>: ¡Voy a usar <item>!" ("<Trainer>: I'm going to use <item>!"), thus causing Red to speak when using an item in battle.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5F1hpXj3f-Q</ref><br />
*** In [[Pokémon Masters EX]], while primarily silent, {{mas|Red}} has {{DL|Red (game)/Quotes|Pokémon Masters EX|several spoken lines of dialogue}}.<br />
* Much like there is minimal information on his {{Ash|anime counterpart}}'s father, Red's father is mentioned only briefly when examining an {{wp|Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES}} at the [[Celadon Department Store]] in the Generation I games and FireRed and LeafGreen.<br />
* In HeartGold and SoulSilver, Red is the only {{pkmn|Trainer}} who uses the {{pkmn|battle}} transition effect from Generation II.<br />
* All of his anime and manga counterparts also have owned a Pikachu, with {{Zensho|Satoshi}} from Pokémon Zensho being the only one who evolved his one into a {{p|Raichu}}.<br />
* Along with Blue, [[Lance]], and the Generation I and III Kanto [[Gym Leader]]s (excluding [[Giovanni]] and [[Koga]]), Red has appeared in almost every [[generation]] of the [[Pokémon games]], with six out of nine so far. He is the only protagonist with this feat.<br />
* Red and Lance share the same unique {{pkmn|Champion}} battle music in [[Johto]]-based games and Pokémon Black 2 and White 2's [[Champions Tournament]].<br />
* Red's T-shirt in Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon bears the number 96, referencing the original Japanese release year of Pokémon Red and Green.<br />
* Red is the only protagonist to be battled, as an NPC, outside of the generation he was introduced in.<br />
* A Trainer closely resembling an older Red briefly appears in {{DetPikMov}}, where he is shown in a promotional advertisement on the train to [[Ryme City]]. This Trainer is played by Japanese actor Ryoma Takeuchi.<br />

'''Red's Charizard''' (Japanese: '''レッドのリザードン''' ''Red's Lizardon'') was the [[List of characters' first Pokémon|first Pokémon]] acquired by {{OBP|Red|Origins}} in the [[Kanto]] [[region]]. Red obtained {{p|Charmander}} from [[Professor Oak]] when he was sent out to fill up the [[Pokédex]].<br />
<br />
==In the anime==<br />
===Pokémon Origins===<br />
====History====<br />
[[File:Red and Charizard PO.png|thumb|left|250px|Charizard and Red]]<br />
Charmander originally belonged to [[Professor Oak]] as a potential first partner Pokémon for new Trainers, along with {{p|Bulbasaur}} and {{p|Squirtle}}. <br />
<br />
In ''[[PO01|File 1: Red]]'', Red picked it as his because it fit his name and his burning desire to be a {{pkmn|Trainer}}. Its first {{pkmn|battle}} was against a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Pidgey}}, which escaped. Charmander was then used in Red's first battle against {{OBP|Blue|Origins}}'s {{p|Squirtle}}. Due to Red's inexperience and Squirtle's type advantage, Charmander was easily defeated.<br />
<br />
During Red's Gym battle against [[Brock]], Charmander was Red's initial choice, but when learning about the advantage that [[Brock's Geodude]] has on Fire-type Pokémon, it was soon recalled. However, it would still end up as Red's last healthy Pokémon against {{TP|Brock|Onix}}. Red and Charmander emerged victorious thanks to Red's strategy.<br />
<br />
It was revealed in ''[[PO02|File 2: Cubone]]'' that Charmander evolved into {{p|Charmeleon}} some time after Red's Gym battle against [[Misty]]. In that same episode, Red used Charmeleon in Lavender Town to face the ghost who terrorized the inhabitants of the city, which was later to be revealed to be the spirit of a {{OBP|Marowak|ghost}} who was killed by members of [[Team Rocket]].<br />
<br />
It was revealed in ''[[PO03|File 3: Giovanni]]'' that Red used Charmeleon again in his battle against [[Erika]], and it managed to get him his fourth Badge. After several battles, Charmeleon evolved into a Charizard. Red used Charizard in his first battle against [[Giovanni]] at [[Silph Co.]] Even though the Fire-type Pokémon tried its best, it was easily subdued by Giovanni's {{p|Nidoqueen}}. Charizard was used again in the final battle against Giovanni, where it faced Giovanni's {{p|Rhydon}}. After a hard battle, Charizard managed to win and Giovanni decided to change his attitude. <br />
<br />
In ''[[PO04|File 4: Charizard]]'', at the [[Indigo Plateau|Pokémon League]] in the final battle against Blue, Charizard was the final Pokémon Red used. It went against Blue's {{p|Blastoise}}. The two Pokémon fought hard, but Charizard ultimately proved victorious with a combination of {{m|Fire Spin}} and {{m|Fire Blast}}, landing it, along with {{OBP|Red|Origins}} and the rest of his [[party]], in the [[Hall of Fame]] as {{pkmn|Champion}}s. From then on, Red resolved to capture all the Pokémon in the [[Kanto]] region. Charizard was used in a battle against a {{p|Moltres}}, which ended up being captured by Red.<br />
<br />
During Red's battle against {{p|Mewtwo}}, Red sent out Charizard as his last hope, after the rest of his team had been defeated. Initially, Charizard was no match for Mewtwo either, being defeated by being thrown into a lake together with its Trainer. With the use of a [[Mega Stone]], given to Red by [[Mr. Fuji]] and its great bond with Red, it was able to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Charizard X. With this new level of power, Charizard was able to match Mewtwo's power. And so, after a series of powerful moves, it was able to defeat Mewtwo, allowing Red to catch it.<br />
<br />
====Personality and characteristics====<br />
[[File:Mega Stone PO.png|thumb|250px|Charizard's Charizardite X]]<br />
As mentioned by many Trainers, Red and Charizard have a great bond between them. Charizard is very loyal to Red, even when it was still a Charmander and its Trainer was rather inexperienced. In terms of power, it is one of Red's strongest Pokémon, even being able to beat powerful opponents that its type is usually weak against.<br />
<br />
Thanks to this union and its power, Charizard is able to Mega Evolve, something that is rarely seen in the Kanto region.<br />

[[File:Charizard SSBU.png|thumb|200px|left|Red's Charizard in [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]]]<br />
<br />
In the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series, the {{OBP|Pokémon Trainer|Super Smash Bros.}} character, an incarnation of Red by default, uses a Charizard as his powerhouse. It uses heavy-hitting moves, above-average dash speed (slightly faster than Pikachu), and long-range attacks. Charizard's drawbacks include large weight, subpar aerial game, and slow walking speed. Its varied arsenal of attacks includes {{m|Rock Smash}}, a powerful frontal attack, and {{m|Fly}}, a recovery move that sends Charizard skyward and allows it to glide. It can also use Flamethrower to attack from a short distance, but its power decreases over time. It uses {{m|Fire Blast}} in the Pokémon Trainer's Final Smash, {{DL|Final Smash|Triple Finish}}.<br />
<br />
In the {{sbw|Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary|Subspace Emissary}}, Charizard is found shortly after Ivysaur, completing the Trainer's team.<br />

'''Red''' (Japanese: '''{{j|レッド}}''' ''Red'') is the {{player|player character}} in the [[Generation I]] games [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Pokémon Red, Green]], [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Blue]], and {{v2|Yellow}} and the male choice in their [[Generation III]] remakes {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, where his female counterpart is {{ga|Leaf}}.<br />
<br />
Red is known throughout the [[Pokémon world]] as the {{pkmn|Champion}} from [[Pallet Town]], as well as a living legend for his defeat of [[Team Rocket]] in [[Kanto]] during his quest. He is the final opponent in the [[Generation II]] games {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, their [[Generation IV]] remakes {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, and {{g|Stadium 2}}. He is a participant in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]]'s [[Champions Tournament]] in {{B2W2}} and works as a boss of the [[Battle Tree]] alongside {{ga|Blue}} in the [[Generation VII]] games {{pkmn|Sun and Moon|Sun, Moon}}, {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon}}. In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], he appears as the highest-level Trainer in the game, capable of being challenged after defeating six [[Master Trainer]]s.<br />
<br />

[[File:Yellow manual story.jpg|thumb|200px|Red named イエロー (''Yellow'') in the manual of Pokémon Yellow]]<br />
[[File:Red playing card.jpg|thumb|150px|Red named グリーン (''Green'') on a [[Pokémon playing cards|playing card]] from the Pokémon Green deck released in Japan]]<br />
[[File:GameFreak 1997 fanbook MC Satoshi.jpg|thumb|152px|Red named サトシ (''Satoshi'') by Game Freak]]<br />
[[File:Ash Gary game.png|thumb|160px|Red and Blue called "Ash" and "Gary" in the Nintendo Power guide]]<br />
<br />
While he had various names in [[Generation I]], from [[Generation II]] onwards he is referred to as '''Red''' (Japanese: '''{{j|レッド}}''' ''Red'') in several [[core series]] games where he appears as a [[non-player character]], in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], and he is known by {{mas|Red|the same name}} in [[Pokémon Masters EX]]. He is also known by this name in the game data of [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|Pokémon FireRed, LeafGreen]], and [[Pokémon Emerald Version|Emerald]], but this is not seen in normal gameplay. He was named after the [[Generation I]] game [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Pokémon Red]].<br />
<br />
In the player's story as seen in the Japanese game manuals from [[Generation I]], the player name refers to the name of the current game: '''{{j|レッド}}'''{{sup/1|R}}, '''{{j|グリーン}}'''{{sup/1|G}}, '''{{j|ブルー}}'''{{sup/1|B}}, or '''{{j|イエロー}}'''{{sup/1|Y}} (''Red'', ''Green'', ''Blue'', or ''Yellow''). However, this was adapted as "'''you'''" instead in the English version. For instance:<br />
<br />
* In the Japanese manuals of the Generation I games:<br />
*:「'''レッド'''({{ruby|主人公|しゅじんこう}})は11{{ruby|歳|さい}}」 ('''''Red''' (player character) is 11 years old.''){{sup/1|R}}<br />
*:「'''グリーン'''({{ruby|主人公|しゅじんこう}})は11{{ruby|歳|さい}}」 ('''''Green''' (player character) is 11 years old.''){{sup/1|G}}<br />
*:「'''ブルー'''({{ruby|主人公|しゅじんこう}})は11{{ruby|歳|さい}}」 ('''''Blue''' (player character) is 11 years old.''){{sup/1|B}}<br />
*:「'''イエロー'''({{ruby|主人公|しゅじんこう}})は11{{ruby|歳|さい}}」 ('''''Yellow''' (player character) is 11 years old.''){{sup/1|Y}}<br />
* In the English manuals (except his age is not mentioned in Pokémon Yellow's English manual):<br />
*: ''"'''You''' are an 11-old boy [...]"''{{sup/1|RB}}<br />
<br />
In the Japanese {{pkmn|playing cards}}, he is named '''{{j|レッド}}''' (''Red'') in the Pokémon Red deck and '''{{j|グリーン}}''' (''Green'') in the Pokémon Green deck. The text {{ruby|主人公|しゅじんこう}} (''player character'') also appears on his card from both the Red and Green decks. However, in the Pokémon Blue and Yellow decks released later, he is unnamed and simply referred to with this Japanese text meaning "player character".<br />
<br />
In some game screenshots from the English manuals, the male player character is named '''Blue'''{{sup/1|RB}}, '''{{Ash}}'''{{sup/1|Y}}, '''Red'''{{sup/3|FR}}, or '''Green'''{{sup/3|LG}} (while the {{ga|Leaf|female player character}} is named Fire{{sup/3|FR}} or Leaf{{sup/3|LG}}).<br />
<br />
He was also named '''Ash''' (Japanese: '''{{j|サトシ}}''' ''Satoshi'') in some early official media, sharing the name of {{Ash|his anime counterpart}}. This is also found in the list of default names. The Japanese version is also the name of the [[Satoshi Tajiri|creator of the franchise]] and one of Red's default names.<br />
* In the ''Official Fan Book of Pocket Monsters'' (Japanese: '''{{j|ポケットモンスター公式ファンブック}}''') from 1997, the player is named '''サトシ''' (''Satoshi'') according to [[Game Freak]], in which his appearance (as well as [[Professor Oak]] and [[Giovanni]]) in the then-upcoming {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} games was teased.<ref>[http://hakuda2.web.fc2.com/ir/poke4/b5.html ボツポケモン応援隊] ([https://archive.is/JR0Yn archived copy])</ref> This may indicate that this name was originally considered for this game character.<br />
* In ''[[Pokémon: Official Nintendo Player's Guide]]'' (Nintendo Power, 1998), the player is named '''Ash''' (while the rival is named Gary at this point).<br />
* In ''[[Pokémon Gold and Silver: Official Nintendo Player's Guide]]'' (Nintendo Power, 2000), he is usually named '''Red''' in several sections explaining the story and mechanics of the games, except he is also named '''Ash''' at some point. In ''[[Pokémon Crystal: Official Nintendo Player's Guide]]'' (Nintendo Power, 2001), some content was reused but the name "Ash" was edited out:<br />
*: ''"Pokémon Gold & Silver also feature the world of Kanto, which '''Ash''' explored in Pokémon Red, Blue and Yellow."'' (Pokémon Gold and Silver guidebook, page 4)<br />
*: ''"Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal also feature the world of Kanto, which '''originally appeared''' in Pokémon Red, Blue and Yellow."'' (Pokémon Crystal guidebook, page 4)<br />
<br />
In the [[Super Smash Bros. series]], the male version of the character known only as "{{OBP|Pokémon Trainer|Super Smash Bros.}}" is based on Red.<br />
<br />
He is also known by some other placeholder names, which are stored in the game data but not available in normal gameplay: '''[[Nintendo|Ninten]]'''{{sup/1|RBY}} (Japanese: '''やまぐち''' ''Yamaguchi''{{sup/1|RG}}; '''ゲーフリ''' ''Gēfuri''{{sup/1|B}}; '''ゲーフリ1''' ''Gēfuri1''{{sup/1|Y}}). At least in Generation I, there are some hidden game mechanics that would display this name, therefore it should become visible if some {{wp|Random-access memory|RAM}} {{wp|memory address|addresses}} were changed.<ref>[http://acmlm.kafuka.org/board/thread.php?pid=18912#18912 Intresting and funny in Pokemon Red Acmlmboard]</ref><br />
<br />
* The English "'''Ninten'''" is short for [[Nintendo]], while the rival's placeholder name is "Sony" in those games. This references the fact that in the years surrounding the releases of the Generation I games, Sony was Nintendo's main competition. {{wb|Ninten}} is also the default name of the main protagonist of {{wb|Mother (video game)|Mother}}, a game developed by [[Creatures, Inc.]].<br />
* The Japanese '''やまぐち''' (''Yamaguchi'') refers to Wataru Yamaguchi, an art director that worked on the original games.<br />
* The Japanese '''ゲーフリ''' (''Gēfuri'') and '''ゲーフリ1''' (''Gēfuri1'') refer to [[Game Freak]] (Japanese: ゲームフリーク ''Gēmu Furīku'').<br />
<br />
In some screenshots of Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen on the Japanese website pokemon.co.jp, the player is named '''オサム''' (''Osamu'').<ref>[https://www.pokemon.co.jp/game/gba/fl/item.html ポケットモンスター ファイアレッド・リーフグリーン - Pokémon.co.jp]</ref><br />
<br />
In the Spanish version of FireRed, LeafGreen, and Emerald, his placeholder name has the syllables reversed: he is known as "Joro" instead of "Rojo" (while his {{ga|Leaf|female counterpart}} is known as "Jaho" instead of "Hoja").<br />
<br />
==In the core series games==<br />
{{spoilers}}<br />
Red is introduced as a curious 11-year-old boy from [[Pallet Town]]. According to the instruction manuals of {{3v2|Red|Green|Blue}}, Red gained an interest in Pokémon after his best friend, {{ga|Blue}}, stopped playing with him and became a bully, although in the games [[Professor Oak]] says the two have been rivals since infancy. His adventure begins one day when Professor Oak calls the two to his lab for a [[first partner Pokémon]]. Red has a choice of a {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, or {{p|Squirtle}}{{sup/1|G}}{{sup/1|RB}}{{sup/3|FRLG}}. Depending on the Pokémon that Red chooses, Blue will choose the Pokémon that has a type advantage over it{{sup/1|G}}{{sup/1|RB}}{{sup/3|FRLG}}. In {{game|Yellow}}, Red was originally intended to get an {{p|Eevee}}, which was swiped by Blue. As a result, Blue keeps the Eevee and Red receives a {{OBP|Pikachu|Yellow}} that Professor Oak caught earlier{{sup/1|Y}}. Blue challenges Red to a battle immediately to test out his new Pokémon, thinking he will easily beat Red.<br />
<br />
After Red has made his way to [[Viridian City]] to the north and taken [[Parcel|a package]] back to Oak in Pallet Town, Oak gives Red and Blue each a [[Pokédex]] with which to record data on all known Pokémon in the Kanto region to fulfill Oak's dream of creating a full guide on all Pokémon in Kanto. From here, Red and Blue journey across Kanto, collecting Pokémon to build up their teams, and defeating each of the [[Gym Leader]]s in turn, with Blue always one step ahead, showing up from time to time to impede Red's progress.<br />
<br />
Red also comes across a gang of Pokémon thieves, [[Team Rocket]], several times through his journey. He first encounters them trying to steal fossils within Mt. Moon. Then he encounters a member who is running the Nugget Bridge challenge to recruit for the organization on {{rt|24|Kanto}}; and another lone member who has stolen a [[TM]] from a family in [[Cerulean City]]. Eventually, Red uncovers a plot by Team Rocket, infiltrating their [[Team Rocket Hideout|hideout]] beneath the [[Celadon Game Corner]] and encountering their boss, [[Giovanni]]. Defeating him and ousting Team Rocket from Celadon, Red uses the [[Silph Scope]] that Giovanni leaves behind to battle {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon and save [[Mr. Fuji]] in the [[Pokémon Tower]] in [[Lavender Town]], who is being held hostage by Team Rocket. Red soon journeys into Saffron City in the heart of Kanto to find it overrun by Team Rocket, who is attempting to take the recently invented [[Master Ball]] from the [[Silph Co.]] President, and defeats Giovanni again, ending the group's plots for the time being.<br />
<br />
With seven Badges in hand, Red encounters Giovanni for the final time—this time as the [[Gym Leader|Leader]] of the [[Viridian Gym]], his final obstacle before the [[Elite Four]] of [[Indigo Plateau]]. Red defeats him in battle, earning his eighth and final Badge—the {{Badge|Earth}}. He disbands Team Rocket, promising to go into solo training to become a better Trainer.<br />
<br />
Making it through {{ka|Victory Road}} and finally to Indigo Plateau, Red challenges the [[Indigo League]]. First, he defeats the Elite Four and discovers, to his surprise, that Blue has defeated them before him and is therefore the {{pkmn|Champion}} of Kanto. Red defeats Blue in the final battle, becoming the Champion himself, but then continues his training, rather than staying at Indigo Plateau. Encountering an offshoot of Team Rocket in the southern [[Sevii Islands]], lead by Executive [[Archer]], Red reveals with his Earth Badge that Giovanni has disbanded the organization, and, though defeated, the group there intends to revive Team Rocket and bring Giovanni back, having already made plans to force Pokémon to evolve with radio waves.<br />
<br />
Red continues as a wandering Trainer, eventually making his way to [[Mt. Silver Cave]], where he trains his Pokémon alone. In the process, he becomes so distant from the people close to him that he does not even talk to his mom via phone anymore.<br />
<br />
Eventually, {{ga|Ethan}}, {{ga|Kris}}, or {{ga|Lyra}} arrives at Mt. Silver Cave and challenges Red, identified only as a [[Pokémon Trainer]]. If defeated, Red vanishes from Mt. Silver, and returns every time the Elite Four is defeated again by the player of Gold, Silver, Crystal, HeartGold, or SoulSilver.<br />
<br />
Some time later, Red has been shown to finally come back into public life, as he enters the [[Champions Tournament]] of the [[Pokémon World Tournament]] in the [[Unova]] region. In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon]], {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon}}, a visibly older Red is invited to work as the boss of [[Alola]]'s [[Battle Tree]] along with Blue. When {{ga|Elio}} or {{ga|Selene}} first visits the Battle Tree, they will encounter Red and Blue and battle one of them. After Red{{sup/7|SMUSUM}} or Blue{{sup/7|USUM}} is defeated at the Battle Tree proper, Red will reward the player with a full set of Kanto first partner Pokémon [[Mega Stone]]s.<br />
<br />
Red makes an appearance in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]]. In this continuity, he and Blue completed their journeys and defeated the Elite Four years before the player character started their journey. If the player has defeated at least six [[Master Trainer]]s and has six Pokémon in their [[party]], Red can be found in front of the Pokémon League building at Indigo Plateau, where he may be challenged to a battle. Like during all Master Trainer battles, the player isn't allowed to use [[item]]s from their [[Bag]] during this battle. After being defeated, Red will grant the player the title of [[Pokémon Master|Battle Master]] before leaving, though he will reappear for a [[rematch]] each time the player defeats the Elite Four.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon===<br />
As the player character, Red can have on his team any of the 151 Pokémon available during [[Generation I]]. In [[Generation III]], he can have any of the 386 Pokémon available at that time, though only after the player has obtained the [[National Pokédex]].<br />
<br />
When he is encountered as an opponent in [[Generation II]] and [[Generation IV]], Red has a set team, based on Generation I in-game event Pokémon, and has the highest leveled trained Pokémon yet encountered in the series, with his {{TP|Red|Pikachu}} at level 81 in Generation II and at level 88 in Generation IV. In HeartGold and SoulSilver, when he is defeated, all Pokémon in the player's party receive the {{DL|List of Ribbons in the games|Legend Ribbon}}.<br />
<br />
In {{B2W2}}, he can be fought in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]]'s [[Champions Tournament]], using the same team he did in Generation IV, albeit with different movesets.<br />
<br />
In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon]], {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon}}, Red once again uses his team from Generation IV, just with altered movesets. When battled in the [[Battle Tree]] proper, Red will use a randomly selected team from a preset selection of Pokémon.<br />
<br />
In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], Red's team has notable differences to his previous [[core series]] teams, replacing {{p|Charizard}} and {{p|Blastoise}} which now appear as the highest levelled Pokémon in {{ga|Blue}} and {{ga|Green}}'s teams respectively.<br />

==In the side series games==<br />
===[[Pokémon Stadium 2]]===<br />
Red appears in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]]. He can be battled in the Kanto [[Gym Leader Castle]] after the player has defeated all eight Kanto Gym Leaders, being the final opponent the player must defeat in order to clear the Gym Leader Castle challenge.<br />
<br />
During the game's end credits, he is seen having a battle with {{ga|Blue}}.<br />
<br />
====Pokémon====<br />
Red uses vastly different sets of Pokémon than in any of his other appearances, only sharing a couple Pokémon with the teams he uses in the [[core series]]. Notably, this is the only game where he's not seen using {{TP|Red|his Pikachu|Pikachu}}. In Round 2, each of his Pokémon knows {{m|Hidden Power}}.<br />

===Pokémon Colosseum and XD: Gale of Darkness===<br />
Red makes an appearance in both [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]]. While he does not appear in the games' Story Mode, he is playable in the Battle Mode when a FireRed or LeafGreen cartridge is used, with a male player character chosen. He can take on Mt. Battle's 100-battle challenge, as well as compete in Colosseum battles.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Battle Revolution===<br />
Red made a brief appearance in the debut trailer of [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]], having a [[Double Battle]] against {{ga|Leaf}}, using a {{p|Deoxys}} in its Attack Forme and a {{p|Wailord}}. Despite this, he didn't appear in the final cut of the game.<br />
<br />
==In the spin-off games==<br />
===[[Super Smash Bros. series]]===<br />
[[File:Pokemon Trainer Brawl.png|thumb|250px|left|Red in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] with his Pokémon]]<br />
[[File:Pokemon Trainer SSBU.png|thumb|250px|Red in [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]]]<br />
====Pokémon Trainer====<br />
{{main|Pokémon Trainer (Super Smash Bros.)}}<br />
Red is known as the "Pokémon Trainer" in the [[Super Smash Bros. series]]. He has a team consisting of {{p|Squirtle}}, {{p|Ivysaur}}, and {{p|Charizard}}. Rather than fighting himself like most other characters, Red sends his three Pokémon into battle, switching between them in order.<br />
<br />
Red debuted as a playable character in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]. He was absent from [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]], the only game in the series where his {{SSB|Charizard}} is available as an individual fighter. Red returned as a playable character in [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]], and additionally {{ga|Leaf}} debuted as part of his palette swaps, sharing the same title of "Pokémon Trainer". Red is voiced by [[Michele Knotz]] and [[Billy Bob Thompson]] in the English versions of [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]] and [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate|Ultimate]] respectively, and 半場友恵 ''[[Tomoe Hanba]]'' in the Japanese versions.<br />
<br />
====Other references====<br />
* Red's hat appears as an alternate outfit worn by {{SSB|Pikachu}} from [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]] onward, possibly in specific reference to {{game|Yellow}} (which, in turn, was inspired by the anime).<br />
* In [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]], Red is featured as a trophy to represent Pokémon Trainers.<br />
<br />
===[[Pokémon GO]]===<br />
{{main|Style (GO)}}<br />
For [[Pokémon Day]] 2018, Red's outfit from {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} was released as free style option in [[Pokémon GO]].<br />
<br />
===[[Pokémon Masters EX]]===<br />
{{main|Red (Masters)}}<br />
Red, who is based on the [[player character]], forms a [[sync pair]] with {{TP|Red|Charizard}}, {{p|Snorlax}}, {{TP|Red|Pikachu}}, {{p|Articuno}}, and {{p|Venusaur}} in [[Pokémon Masters EX]]. His Charizard is capable of [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolving]] into Mega Charizard X, while his Snorlax and Pikachu are both capable of [[Gigantamax]]ing, and his Venusaur is capable of [[Dynamax]]ing. Red became a playable sync pair on February 28, 2020.<br />
<br />
In this game, Red is indirectly responsible for the creation of the [[Pokémon Masters League]], as him defeating [[Lear]] before the events of the game was what inspired Lear to create [[Pasio]] and the PML in order to get another chance at beating him. Red first appeared as an NPC during the second chapter of [[PML Arc]]. He also made notable appearances later in the PML Arc, and the [[Villain Arc]]. Unlike in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, both Red and {{mas|Leaf}} coexist in this game.<br />

==Quotes==<br />
{{main|Red (game)/Quotes}}<br />
<br />
==Optional names==<br />
When starting a new game of {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, if the player leaves the name writing screen without any written name, or with a name composed entirely of empty spaces, [[Professor Oak]] says, "Right... So your name is <optional name>", suggesting one of the 19 available names; there are 24 names in total, but there are 5 exclusive to FireRed and 5 exclusive to LeafGreen. The player may answer "Yes" to accept the suggested name, or "No" to return to the name writing screen.<br />

==In the TFG==<br />
There are three {{TFG|Trainer figure|Trainer figures}} based on Red with his design from {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, except with different names and colors.<br />
<br />
* {{TFG ID|Next Quest|Red|42}} (Japanese: レッド ''Red'') from {{TFG|Next Quest}}, wearing his usual red clothes.<br />
* {{TFG ID|Groundbreakers|Green|39}} (Japanese: グリーン ''Green'') from {{TFG|Groundbreakers}}, with green hat, shirt and shoes.<br />
* {{TFG ID|Unnamed Third Set|Yellow|42}} (Japanese: イエロー ''Yellow''), from the {{TFG|Unnamed Third Set}}, with yellow hat, shirt and shoes.<br />
<br />
The Red figure is part of the single released set, Next Quest. The other two sets were not released, so the Green and Yellow figures were not released either.<br />

==Counterparts==<br />
===In the anime===<br />
====Main series====<br />
{{main|Ash Ketchum}}<br />
{{main|Ash Ketchum (M20)}}<br />
[[File:Ash debut.png|thumb|250px|Ash Ketchum, Red's {{pkmn|anime}} counterpart]]<br />
Red's loose [[Cross-canon counterpart|anime counterpart]], introduced in the [[EP001|first episode]], is the anime's main character, Ash Ketchum. Like Red, Ash is from Pallet Town, on a {{pkmn|journey}} to become a Pokémon Master. Unlike Red, Ash's journey did not end with Kanto, and Ash continued through every other region introduced in the [[core series]] games until [[Galar]], as well as the [[Orange Archipelago]] south of Kanto, taking the place of the player characters of Generation II during [[Johto]] and Generation V during [[Unova]], and being joined by the anime counterparts of {{ga|May}}, {{ga|Dawn}}, and {{ga|Serena}} during the Hoenn, Sinnoh, and Kalos sagas respectively. Instead of starting with one of the standard three Kanto first partner Pokémon, however, Ash began his journey with a {{AP|Pikachu}}, inspiring {{game|Yellow}}'s creation, as well as causing some to consider Red and Ash to be exactly the same person, most especially due to Red owning {{TP|Red|one|Pikachu}} as well.<br />
<br />
Red has another anime counterpart, {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|M20|an alternate Ash Ketchum}}, who appeared in ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'', ''[[M21|The Power of Us]]'', and ''[[M23|Secrets of the Jungle]]''; these {{pkmn|movie}}s are set in a timeline separate from the main series. This Ash shares the same basic characteristics as the main Ash, but goes on a different journey compared to the main series.<br />
{{-}}<br />
<br />
====Pokémon Origins====<br />
{{main|Red (Origins)}}<br />
[[File:Blaine Arcanine PO.png|thumb|left|250px|Red in [[Pokémon Origins]]]]<br />
Red also had a direct counterpart that appeared as the main character of the [[Pokémon Origins]] mini-series, which takes place in a separate continuity. This counterpart shared Red's name, in-game role, and design from FireRed and LeafGreen. The mini-series follows Red as he challenges the [[Indigo League]] and fights [[Team Rocket]] with his [[first partner Pokémon]], {{TP|Red|Charmander|Charizard}}.<br />
{{-}}<br />
<br />
====Pokémon Generations====<br />
[[File:Red PG.png|thumb|250px|Red in [[Pokémon Generations]]]]<br />
Another direct counterpart of Red appeared in [[Pokémon Generations]]. He first appeared in ''[[PG01|The Adventure]]'', where he {{pkmn2|caught}} a {{TP|Red|Pikachu}} in [[Viridian Forest]]. He then went on to experience various other adventures with his Pikachu across other regions, during which he encountered various {{pkmn2|wild}} and [[Legendary Pokémon]].<br />
<br />
Red briefly reappeared at the end of ''[[PG03|The Challenger]]'', having just defeated the [[Elite Four]] at [[Indigo Plateau]], and preparing to challenge {{ga|Blue}} for the title of the {{pkmn|Champion}}.<br />
<br />
Like the [[core series]] games, Red is not heard speaking during his appearances.<br />

<br />
Pikachu continued to travel with its Trainer throughout [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]], [[Sinnoh]], [[Unova]], and [[Kalos]], battling against Pokémon such as {{p|Wooper}}, {{p|Vigoroth}}, {{p|Probopass}}, {{p|Regigigas}}, {{p|Volcarona}}, and {{p|Noivern}}.}}<br />

[[File:Red JBA.png|thumb|150px|Red in Pocket Monsters HGSS Jō's Big Adventure]]<br />

==Trivia==<br />
* Red's title screen and profile front sprites from {{game|Red and Green|s}} correspond to his earlier [[Capsule Monsters]] artwork instead of his final [[Generation I]] artwork. His title screen sprite was updated in {{game|Blue| (Japanese)}} but the profile front sprite remained unchanged.<br />
** In {{game|Yellow}}, he has no title screen sprite and his front sprite is updated in part to match his official artwork and possibly in part to match [[Ash Ketchum]], his anime counterpart, as the frontal section of his hat has the same division in the middle as [[Ash's hat]] from the [[original series]].<br />
* Red's [[party]] in [[Generation II]], {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, {{B2W2}}, and {{game4|SMUSUM}} is based heavily on in-game events from the Generation I games and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}:<br />
** {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Venusaur}}, {{p|Blastoise}}, and {{p|Pikachu}} are the [[game mascot]]s of the four Generation I games: Pokémon Red, Green, Blue, and Yellow. They are also available in all iterations of the original [[Kanto]] plot and can all be obtained in a single save file in Pokémon Yellow;<br />
** {{p|Espeon}} could have been obtained as an {{p|Eevee}} in [[Celadon City]], and Eevee notably serves as {{ga|Blue}}'s [[first partner Pokémon]] in Pokémon Yellow;<br />
** {{p|Lapras}} is given away by a [[Silph Co.]] employee shortly before [[Team Rocket]] is defeated there;<br />
** Two {{p|Snorlax}} are required to be caught or defeated in order to travel to [[Fuchsia City]]. Furthermore, in the Generation II games and Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, only the Snorlax that was previously blocking {{rt|12|Kanto}} (now blocking the entrance to [[Diglett's Cave]]) is available to the {{player}}, suggesting that Red defeated and caught the one blocking {{rt|16|Kanto}}.<br />
*** In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, apart from his Venusaur and Blastoise being fully evolved, Red's team is identical to that of [[Ash Ketchum]] throughout most of the [[S02|Orange Islands]] anime arc.<br />
*** Also in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, the four game mascots all know their [[Generation III]] [[signature move]]s: Venusaur, Charizard, and Blastoise know {{m|Frenzy Plant}}, {{m|Blast Burn}} and {{m|Hydro Cannon}}, respectively, while Pikachu knows {{m|Volt Tackle}}. Furthermore, his Pikachu's moveset coincides with the four moves that [[Ash's Pikachu]] used during ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]'': Volt Tackle, {{m|Quick Attack}}, {{m|Iron Tail}}, and {{m|Thunderbolt}}.<br />
* All six of the Pokémon that Red uses in the core series from HeartGold and SoulSilver to Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon are capable of [[Gigantamax]] in Sword and Shield.<br />
* In HeartGold and SoulSilver, Red's [[level]] 88 [[Red's Pikachu|Pikachu]] is the highest-leveled Pokémon owned by a non-player character outside of [[Battle facility|battle facilities]], tied with [[Cynthia's Garchomp]] during the second [[rematch]] in {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}.<br />
** However, the level of several NPCs' Pokémon in {{4v|Black|White}} are variable and can exceed that of the two, depending on the level of the Pokémon that is [[in-game trade#Generation V|traded]] to them.<br />
* When Red is encountered at the summit of Mt. Silver during Generation II and Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, he has no speech, merely repeating sets of {{wp|ellipsis|ellipses}} <!--2 sets of regular 3-dot ellipses in English GSC and 2 sets of 18-dot ellipses in English HGSS; 10 sets (GSC)/6 sets (HGSS) sets of 2 midline horizontal ellipses each in the Japanese versions--> before beginning the {{pkmn|battle}}. This is a reference to his silent role in [[Generation I]], as he only answered choice questions like <sc>Yes</sc> or <sc>No</sc>. This unique characteristic remains in later [[generation]]s.<br />
** In FireRed and LeafGreen, {{ga|Blue}} sarcastically calls him a "chatty gossip".<br />
*** Blue also jokes about this in Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon.<br />
** Despite this, {{DL|Copycat (character)|Quotes|dialogue that ensues}} when talking to {{OBP|Copycat|character}} in Generation I and FireRed and LeafGreen implies that Red is speaking.<br />
*** Also, only in the Spanish version of HeartGold and SoulSilver, the line "<Trainer> used one <item>!" for opponents using items in battle was localized as "<Trainer>: ¡Voy a usar <item>!" ("<Trainer>: I'm going to use <item>!"), thus causing Red to speak when using an item in battle.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5F1hpXj3f-Q</ref><br />
*** In [[Pokémon Masters EX]], while primarily silent, {{mas|Red}} has {{DL|Red (game)/Quotes|Pokémon Masters EX|several spoken lines of dialogue}}.<br />
* Much like there is minimal information on his {{Ash|anime counterpart}}'s father, Red's father is mentioned only briefly when examining an {{wp|Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES}} at the [[Celadon Department Store]] in the Generation I games and FireRed and LeafGreen.<br />
* In HeartGold and SoulSilver, Red is the only {{pkmn|Trainer}} who uses the {{pkmn|battle}} transition effect from Generation II.<br />
* All of his anime and manga counterparts also have owned a Pikachu, with {{Zensho|Satoshi}} from Pokémon Zensho being the only one who evolved his one into a {{p|Raichu}}.<br />
* Along with Blue, [[Lance]], and the Generation I and III Kanto [[Gym Leader]]s (excluding [[Giovanni]] and [[Koga]]), Red has appeared in almost every [[generation]] of the [[Pokémon games]], with six out of nine so far. He is the only protagonist with this feat.<br />
* Red and Lance share the same unique {{pkmn|Champion}} battle music in [[Johto]]-based games and Pokémon Black 2 and White 2's [[Champions Tournament]].<br />
* Red's T-shirt in Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon bears the number 96, referencing the original Japanese release year of Pokémon Red and Green.<br />
* Red is the only protagonist to be battled, as an NPC, outside of the generation he was introduced in.<br />
* A Trainer closely resembling an older Red briefly appears in {{DetPikMov}}, where he is shown in a promotional advertisement on the train to [[Ryme City]]. This Trainer is played by Japanese actor Ryoma Takeuchi.<br />

'''Red's Charizard''' (Japanese: '''レッドのリザードン''' ''Red's Lizardon'') was the [[List of characters' first Pokémon|first Pokémon]] acquired by {{OBP|Red|Origins}} in the [[Kanto]] [[region]]. Red obtained {{p|Charmander}} from [[Professor Oak]] when he was sent out to fill up the [[Pokédex]].<br />
<br />
==In the anime==<br />
===Pokémon Origins===<br />
====History====<br />
[[File:Red and Charizard PO.png|thumb|left|250px|Charizard and Red]]<br />
Charmander originally belonged to [[Professor Oak]] as a potential first partner Pokémon for new Trainers, along with {{p|Bulbasaur}} and {{p|Squirtle}}. <br />
<br />
In ''[[PO01|File 1: Red]]'', Red picked it as his because it fit his name and his burning desire to be a {{pkmn|Trainer}}. Its first {{pkmn|battle}} was against a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Pidgey}}, which escaped. Charmander was then used in Red's first battle against {{OBP|Blue|Origins}}'s {{p|Squirtle}}. Due to Red's inexperience and Squirtle's type advantage, Charmander was easily defeated.<br />
<br />
During Red's Gym battle against [[Brock]], Charmander was Red's initial choice, but when learning about the advantage that [[Brock's Geodude]] has on Fire-type Pokémon, it was soon recalled. However, it would still end up as Red's last healthy Pokémon against {{TP|Brock|Onix}}. Red and Charmander emerged victorious thanks to Red's strategy.<br />
<br />
It was revealed in ''[[PO02|File 2: Cubone]]'' that Charmander evolved into {{p|Charmeleon}} some time after Red's Gym battle against [[Misty]]. In that same episode, Red used Charmeleon in Lavender Town to face the ghost who terrorized the inhabitants of the city, which was later to be revealed to be the spirit of a {{OBP|Marowak|ghost}} who was killed by members of [[Team Rocket]].<br />
<br />
It was revealed in ''[[PO03|File 3: Giovanni]]'' that Red used Charmeleon again in his battle against [[Erika]], and it managed to get him his fourth Badge. After several battles, Charmeleon evolved into a Charizard. Red used Charizard in his first battle against [[Giovanni]] at [[Silph Co.]] Even though the Fire-type Pokémon tried its best, it was easily subdued by Giovanni's {{p|Nidoqueen}}. Charizard was used again in the final battle against Giovanni, where it faced Giovanni's {{p|Rhydon}}. After a hard battle, Charizard managed to win and Giovanni decided to change his attitude. <br />
<br />
In ''[[PO04|File 4: Charizard]]'', at the [[Indigo Plateau|Pokémon League]] in the final battle against Blue, Charizard was the final Pokémon Red used. It went against Blue's {{p|Blastoise}}. The two Pokémon fought hard, but Charizard ultimately proved victorious with a combination of {{m|Fire Spin}} and {{m|Fire Blast}}, landing it, along with {{OBP|Red|Origins}} and the rest of his [[party]], in the [[Hall of Fame]] as {{pkmn|Champion}}s. From then on, Red resolved to capture all the Pokémon in the [[Kanto]] region. Charizard was used in a battle against a {{p|Moltres}}, which ended up being captured by Red.<br />
<br />
During Red's battle against {{p|Mewtwo}}, Red sent out Charizard as his last hope, after the rest of his team had been defeated. Initially, Charizard was no match for Mewtwo either, being defeated by being thrown into a lake together with its Trainer. With the use of a [[Mega Stone]], given to Red by [[Mr. Fuji]] and its great bond with Red, it was able to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Charizard X. With this new level of power, Charizard was able to match Mewtwo's power. And so, after a series of powerful moves, it was able to defeat Mewtwo, allowing Red to catch it.<br />
<br />
====Personality and characteristics====<br />
[[File:Mega Stone PO.png|thumb|250px|Charizard's Charizardite X]]<br />
As mentioned by many Trainers, Red and Charizard have a great bond between them. Charizard is very loyal to Red, even when it was still a Charmander and its Trainer was rather inexperienced. In terms of power, it is one of Red's strongest Pokémon, even being able to beat powerful opponents that its type is usually weak against.<br />
<br />
Thanks to this union and its power, Charizard is able to Mega Evolve, something that is rarely seen in the Kanto region.<br />

<br />
In the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series, the {{OBP|Pokémon Trainer|Super Smash Bros.}} character, an incarnation of Red by default, uses a Charizard as his powerhouse. It uses heavy-hitting moves, above-average dash speed (slightly faster than Pikachu), and long-range attacks. Charizard's drawbacks include large weight, subpar aerial game, and slow walking speed. Its varied arsenal of attacks includes {{m|Rock Smash}}, a powerful frontal attack, and {{m|Fly}}, a recovery move that sends Charizard skyward and allows it to glide. It can also use Flamethrower to attack from a short distance, but its power decreases over time. It uses {{m|Fire Blast}} in the Pokémon Trainer's Final Smash, {{DL|Final Smash|Triple Finish}}.<br />
<br />
In the {{sbw|Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary|Subspace Emissary}}, Charizard is found shortly after Ivysaur, completing the Trainer's team.<br />

'''Ash's Charizard''' (Japanese: '''サトシのリザードン''' ''Satoshi's Lizardon'') was the fourth {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that {{Ash}} {{pkmn2|caught}} in the [[Kanto]] [[region]], and his fifth overall.<br />
<br />
==In the anime==<br />
===Main series===<br />
====History====<br />
=====[[Original series]]=====<br />
======Kanto======<br />
;With Damian<br />
[[File:Damian Charmander.png|thumb|left|220px|Charmander and Damian]]<br />
Charizard originally belonged to a boastful {{pkmn|Trainer}} named [[Damian]] when it was a Charmander. However, in ''[[EP011|Charmander - The Stray Pokémon]]'', Damian grew tired of Charmander being weak, and so he abandoned him, leaving him on a rocky outcrop and telling him that he would come back later. Charmander's health deteriorated, but he was able to resist capture by {{Ash}} twice before explaining to {{AP|Pikachu}} that he was waiting for Damian. Later, Ash met Damian and learned he never planned to return for Charmander. Outraged but mostly concerned for Charmander, who was now stuck out in the rain loyally awaiting Damian, {{an|Brock}}, Ash, and {{an|Misty}} rushed to his rescue, with Brock carrying him to the [[Pokémon Center]] while Ash sheltered the little remaining tail flame with his coat.<br />
[[File:Ash Charmander waiting for Damian.png|thumb|250px|Charmander waiting in the rain for Damian]]<br />
Despite the care shown to him, Charmander was unwilling to remain at the Pokémon Center and returned to the rock where he had been staying. However, he came across {{TRT}}, who had stolen Pikachu. Charmander ordered them to return Pikachu, and when they ignored him, he blasted them with a Flamethrower to send them running away, leaving behind Pikachu. Ash invited Charmander to join them, but Damian turned up with many Poké Balls and said that he had intentionally abandoned Charmander to toughen him up. Damian threw a Poké Ball at him, but Charmander deflected the Ball in defiance. Having seen Damian's character, Charmander staunchly refused to return, and when Damian threatened to crush him with all of his other Pokémon, he attacked Damian with a Flamethrower attack alongside Pikachu, who used {{m|Thunder Shock}}. Damian fled, and Charmander happily joined Ash's team instead.<br />
<br />
;With Ash<br />
Charmander immediately became one of Ash's main Pokémon, being used in the [[EP012|very next episode]] as a torch to help Ash through the caves. He also joined a group of other Charmander on the [[S.S. Anne|St. Anne]] in ''[[EP015|Battle Aboard the St. Anne]]'' to repel {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s. [[EP016|Later]], Charmander used Flamethrower to torch a hole in the capsized St. Anne's hull, allowing the group and Team Rocket to escape the ship.<br />
<br />
Charmander was separated from Ash in ''[[EP017|Island of the Giant Pokémon]]''—along with Pikachu, {{AP|Bulbasaur}}, and {{AP|Squirtle}}—after a group of {{p|Gyarados}} sent them flying with {{m|Dragon Rage}}. During the separation, Charmander tried to remain optimistic about their Trainer's whereabouts, despite Bulbasaur's belief that they were abandoned and Squirtle's jokes that he'd been eaten. When Ash's Pokémon came across Team Rocket's Pokémon, who were also separated from their Trainers, the two groups of Pokémon joined forces to look for them. The next day, the group came across a group of giant Pokémon and ended up being chased by them straight to Ash, his friends, and Team Rocket, allowing them to reunite.<br />
<br />
In ''[[EP025|Primeape Goes Bananas]]'', Charmander battled a berserk {{AP|Primeape}}. He finally subdued his opponent using {{m|Rage}} and Flamethrower. Charmander made his Gym Battle debut in [[EP026|the next episode]], where he defeated [[Erika]]'s {{p|Weepinbell}} after burning {{m|Razor Leaf}} and then striking a powerful Skull Bash. However, in the next round, the pure stench emitting from her {{p|Gloom}} caused Charmander to choke and faint. Ash called on Charmander's assistance against [[Koga]] in ''[[EP032|The Ninja Poké-Showdown]]''. He went up against Koga's {{p|Venomoth}} briefly before their match was interrupted by Team Rocket. For the official Gym battle, Charmander went up against [[Koga's Golbat]] and defeated it with Ember and Fire Spin, earning Ash the {{Badge|Soul}}.<br />
[[File:Ash Charmeleon disobedience.png|thumb|left|250px|Charmeleon attacking Ash]]<br />
The rise in Charmander's battle experience reached its peak in ''[[EP043|March of the Exeggutor Squad]]'', where he helped stop a large number of rampaging {{p|Exeggutor}}. Subsequently, Charmander [[Evolution|evolved]] into {{p|Charmeleon}}. However, in ''[[EP044|The Problem with Paras]]'', it was revealed that Charmeleon was no longer [[obedience|obedient]] to Ash, attacking a {{p|Paras}} when Ash was deliberately trying to lose to help Paras evolve. [[Lacy (EP044)|Cassandra's grandmother]] explained that Charmeleon's skill level had exceeded Ash's, and therefore he did not respect him. Ironically, a rampaging Charmeleon was stopped when Paras, desperately trying to avoid punishment, jabbed at him with a claw. After evolving into {{p|Parasect}}, it put Charmeleon to sleep with {{m|Spore}} and allowed Ash to recall him. Cassandra's grandmother warned Ash that he needed to learn to control Charmeleon.<br />
<br />
Ash stopped using his disobedient Charmeleon but tried again in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]'' to repel wild [[Fossil]] Pokémon, which he refused to do. When an {{p|Aerodactyl}} swooped past, knocking Charmeleon over, Charmeleon attempted to fight back. He then jumped up, grabbed the escaping Aerodactyl's tail, and followed it into the open air, but was soon shaken off. Upset, Charmeleon evolved into {{p|Charizard}} and flew after Aerodactyl to avenge his injured pride. When {{an|Jigglypuff}} began singing at Misty's request in a desperate attempt to save Ash, Charizard attempted to block out the sleep-bound effects of the song, to no avail. Nonetheless, he managed to catch Ash and put him on the ground before going to sleep, but unfortunately, retained his disobedience afterward.<br />
[[File:Ash Charizard newly evolved.png|thumb|250px|As a newly evolved {{p|Charizard}}]]<br />
Charizard's disobedience towards his Trainer began to cause Ash some serious problems during his {{pkmn|journey}}, losing the [[Cinnabar Gym]] battle against [[Blaine]] in ''[[EP058|Riddle Me This]]'', as he simply loafed off and allowed {{p|Rhydon}} an easy win after Charizard left the ring, causing Blaine to disqualify him from the match. In [[EP059|the next episode]], Charizard refused to help dam the volcano but changed his mind after seeing Blaine's powerful {{TP|Blaine|Magmar}} contributing. After working together, the duo were left with a burning desire to test each other's strength. Blaine permitted a battle at the volcano's peak, and the two seemed evenly matched. Magmar dropped Charizard into the lava, but Charizard regained the upper hand by dazing Magmar with an aerial {{m|Submission}} attack and then knocking it out with his powerful {{m|Seismic Toss}}.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
======Orange Islands======<br />
Ash took Charizard with him to the [[Orange Archipelago|Orange Islands]] despite his refusal to obey him. Ash had noticeably stopped trying to use him in battles, although in ''[[EP093|Navel Maneuvers]]'', Charizard, Pikachu, and Bulbasaur were used in the second round of the match between Ash and [[Danny]]. Charizard was initially unwilling to participate, and Danny nearly won. However, Charizard inadvertently helped when he tried to use Flamethrower on Ash but missed and carved an ice pillar into a sled. This meant Ash won the round and was able to continue the match.<br />
<br />
In ''[[EP098|A Way Off Day Off]]'', although he did not obey Ash, Charizard recognized the wisdom and formidable experience that [[Tracey's Scyther]] had, and the two teamed up to defeat Team Rocket. Scyther was the only Pokémon in the group whom Charizard respected.<br />
<br />
Charizard continued to ignore Ash during battles, such as in ''[[EP099|The Mandarin Island Miss Match]]''. Charizard took down a boy's {{p|Tauros}} with a single attack before flying away and rampaging the city. Ash was unable to recall him, and only the intervention of [[Lorelei|Prima]] and her {{p|Slowbro}} using {{m|Disable}} allowed Ash to stop Charizard.<br />
[[File:Ash Charizard frozen.png|thumb|left|250px|Being taken care of by Ash]]<br />
In ''[[EP105|Charizard Chills]]'', Charizard battled [[Tad]]'s {{p|Poliwrath}}. He blatantly refused to listen to Ash's commands, continuing to use Flamethrower despite having no effect on Poliwrath. Tad and Poliwrath resisted them until Poliwrath responded with a {{m|Water Gun}} that nearly doused the flame on Charizard's tail. He was then encased in ice by Poliwrath's {{m|Ice Beam}}, much to Ash's horror. Ash managed to smash the ice encasing Charizard's head, and Tad walked away scornfully, telling Ash that they would have a rematch when he could control Charizard. Ash lit a fire and thawed Charizard out before rubbing Charizard all over to help him regain his body heat. Pikachu pointed out that Ash's hands were rubbed raw, but Ash replied that he didn't mind and redoubled his efforts upon seeing that Charizard's tail flame was so small. Charizard woke up in a panic and tried to attack, but he was so cold that he could not produce a flame and passed out again. Misty provided a blanket, and Tracey kept the fires up while Pikachu watched the flame, but Ash worked throughout the night to help Charizard recover.<br />
<br />
The selfless act reminded Charizard of everything Ash had done for him since he was a Charmander. By morning, Charizard's respect and loyalty to Ash had returned, and he helped Ash rescue Pikachu from Team Rocket. Ash and Pikachu were briefly knocked out during the rescue, and Charizard became so incensed he learned Dragon Rage. In a rematch with Tad and Poliwrath, Charizard learned to dodge Ice Beam and knocked Poliwrath into the air before defeating it with Seismic Toss. <br />
<br />
During the events of ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'', Charizard aided Ash alongside Pikachu and Squirtle in freeing Moltres from Lawrence III's clutches and also proceeded to encourage Ash with his task as the Chosen one alongside the rest of his Pokémon. He later aided Ash alongside Squirtle by pulling a discarded metal part. He even countered Moltres's flame blasts alongside Squirtle and Pikachu when the titans tried to attack them. However, he was ultimately forced to [[Recall|return to his Poké Ball]] after the titans simultaneously created a rift and a wall of ice barring Ash from continuing onward to Ice Island.<br />
<br />
He participated in Ash's Gym battle against [[Luana]] in ''[[EP108|Pokémon Double Trouble]]''. He fought Luana's {{p|Alakazam}} and {{p|Marowak}} alongside Pikachu in the series' first official [[Double Battle]]. The two Pokémon initially had trouble collaborating but eventually managed to work together: Pikachu helped to free Charizard from Alakazam's {{m|Psychic}}, and Charizard caught Pikachu after he was hit by Marowak's {{m|Body Slam}}. Charizard's skillful flying caused Marowak and Alakazam to knock each other out, earning Ash the Jade Star Badge.<br />
<br />
Charizard was also used in Ash's Orange League battle against {{OBP|Drake|Orange League}} in ''[[EP112|Enter the Dragonite]]''. Charizard defeated Drake's {{p|Electabuzz}} by blocking its electricity with Fire Spin and knocking it out with Seismic Toss. He also fought {{TP|Drake|Dragonite}}, but was hit by a powerful {{m|Water Gun}} and then {{m|Slam}}med into the ground. After a clash of Dragon Rages, Charizard fainted, but his attacks had begun to wear Dragonite down, paving the way for Pikachu to finish it off and give Ash the victory. Charizard was inducted into the Orange Islands [[Hall of Fame]] with Ash's other Pokémon.<br />
<br />
======Johto======<br />
[[File:ValleyShipping.png|thumb|220px|With Charla]]<br />
Charizard also accompanied Ash on his journey to the [[Johto]] region, although it became apparent that he was unfairly superior to most of Ash's early competition. This was shown especially in ''[[EP118|The Double Trouble Header]]'', where Charizard easily defeated all three of {{an|Casey}}'s Pokémon, despite the disapproval of Misty and Brock. Team Rocket later capitalized on Casey's frustration, calling Charizard an illegal choice by Ash.<br />
<br />
Charizard was used to weaken and help Ash capture a {{AP|Chikorita}} in ''[[EP126|The Chikorita Rescue]]''. His massive size compared to her came into effect when Chikorita ran towards him and tried to attack; Charizard responded by placing his foot out and blowing a small puff of fire after being instructed by Ash to only weaken her. Charizard's puff of fire ended up on Chikorita's leaf and caused her to run around for a short amount of time before using {{m|Vine Whip}} to attack Charizard. Ash recalled Charizard after he and Chikorita fell into a large canvas of rocks.<br />
<br />
In ''[[EP131|Fighting Flyer with Fire]]'', he participated in Ash's first Johto Gym battle against [[Falkner]], where he battled Falkner's {{p|Pidgeot}}. Due to the latter's impressive {{stat|Speed}}, Charizard started at a disadvantage, with Pidgeot's {{m|Whirlwind}} reflecting his Flamethrower onto him. He was then knocked back down by a combination of {{m|Wing Attack}} and {{m|Quick Attack}}. Falkner told Ash to surrender, but Ash refused, and Charizard gained the strength to fight back and fly above Quick Attack. Charizard then baited Pidgeot, spinning around in midair when Pidgeot flew behind him and hitting it with Fire Spin before seizing it and hurling it into the ground with Seismic Toss. Pidgeot was knocked out, and Ash won the Zephyr Badge.<br />
[[File:Ash leaving Charizard.png|thumb|left|220px|Ash parting ways with Charizard]]<br />
In ''[[EP134|Charizard's Burning Ambitions]]'', Misty criticized Ash for using Charizard too often against fresh young Trainers, making him unbeatable but in an unfair way. Ash then met {{Jo|Liza}}, who taught Ash and Charizard how to fly together. After arriving in the [[Charicific Valley]], Charizard was humiliated by Liza's insults and proudly tried to show off his power. However, he was shown to be smaller and weaker than the wild Charizard who lived there. Charizard continued to pick fights and kept getting himself beaten until Liza locked them out of the Valley, having [[Charla]] throw Charizard into the lake and telling him and Ash to stay away until they had trained and reflected. Team Rocket sympathized with Charizard and helped him to stay awake in the lake, as well as making a false attempt to break into the Valley, allowing Charizard to defeat them and win acclaim from Liza, Charla, and the wild Charizard. Facing an emotional battle, Ash told Charizard that he did not want a weakling on his team and he would be fine without him, forcing Charizard to stay at the Valley to train and become more powerful. He then ran away from the Valley, knowing that if he stopped, he would not be able to say goodbye. Pikachu wished Charizard well and followed Ash, leaving his teammate and friend behind.<br />
<br />
In ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown: Entei]]'', Charizard saw news footage of [[Entei (M03)|Entei]] abducting [[Delia Ketchum]] and Ash futilely pursuing them, so Charizard decided to leave the Charicific Valley briefly and flew to [[Greenfield]] in an attempt to help. Later that night, Charizard arrived just in time to catch Ash and Pikachu when Entei knocked them out of a tower. Charizard then battled Entei with Ash riding on its back, but though it was briefly able to send Entei flying with Fire Spin, [[Molly Hale]]'s reality-warping powers granted by the [[Unown (M03)|Unown]] tipped the scales too much in Entei's favor, like when crystal spikes would emerge to impede Charizard's flight. Entei eventually pinned Charizard and prepared to break its neck, but Molly came to her senses and convinced Entei to stop. Charizard, Pikachu, and Entei worked together to defeat the Unown when their powers went berserk and threatened to destroy everything, but this came at the cost of Entei's existence. With the crisis over, Charizard returned to the Charicific Valley.<br />
<br />
During his time in the Charicific Valley, Charizard took the role of Charla's bodyguard, and the two seem to have a sort of romantic relationship with each other. Liza occasionally visited the [[Dragon Holy Land]] in [[Blackthorn City]] with the two Charizard. One such visit was in ''[[EP253|Great Bowls of Fire!]]'', which coincidentally occurred when Ash was there for his final [[Johto]] Gym battle. Charizard helped Ash, [[Clair]], Pikachu, and {{TP|Clair|Dragonair}} calm the wild {{p|Dragonite}} that was rampaging in the Dragon Holy Land.<br />
<br />
In ''[[EP254|Better Eight Than Never]]'', Charizard battled against Clair's Dragonair in Ash's [[rematch]]. He caused the water in the Gym's pool to evaporate with his Flamethrower and Fire Spin, thus depriving Dragonair of its protection. He then caught Dragonair with Seismic Toss and used Fire Spin to create a flaming twister to wear down Dragonair's defenses before it hit the ground and was knocked out. Ash surprised Liza by sending him back for training, knowing that Charizard still had a lot to learn.<br />
[[File:Ash Charizard Gary Blastoise.png|thumb|250px|Charizard defeating Gary's Blastoise]]<br />
Ash later used Charizard in the [[Silver Conference]] during his fight against [[Gary Oak]] in ''[[EP270|Can't Beat the Heat!]]'', as Brock had made a late-night call to Liza requesting Charizard for the battle. [[Gary's Blastoise]] and {{p|Scizor}} cut Ash's team down to only Charizard, who had to fight three opponents single-handedly. He managed to match Scizor's speed and took advantage of his significant type advantage, defeating Scizor with a single Flamethrower. Despite Golem's weight preventing Charizard from using his Seismic Toss, Charizard overcame it with a powerful Dragon Rage attack. Charizard struggled against Gary's Blastoise, as it had supreme defensive capabilities and could keep Charizard at bay with Hydro Pump. Thinking outside the box, Ash told Charizard to superheat the field, which forced Blastoise to spend time cooling the molten rock. This created a huge steam cloud and allowed Charizard to seize Blastoise at close range. Blastoise could still use {{m|Withdraw}} to dodge Dragon Rage, so Charizard hurled Blastoise into the ground with Seismic Toss, defeating it and leaving Ash as the winner.<br />
<br />
Charizard was then used in Ash's fight against {{jo|Harrison}} in ''[[EP271|Playing with Fire!]]'', where he went up against [[Harrison's Blaziken]]. Blaziken's powerful legs and ability to maneuver in midair negated Charizard's aerial advantage. Each Pokémon hit hard blows on the other, and their Flamethrowers were shown to be equal in power. Blaziken even managed to get up after a devastating Seismic Toss, while Charizard took a {{m|Blaze Kick}} to the neck and continued on. A final clash between Flamethrower and Dragon Rage knocked both Pokémon down, but only Blaziken could get up, eliminating Ash from the tournament. Charizard once again returned to Charicific Valley. Later, it was revealed that he had injured Blaziken so badly that Harrison had to rest his primary battler in the next round, contributing to his later loss.<br />
<br />
=====''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]''=====<br />
======Hoenn======<br />
Charizard appeared in a flashback to Ash's battle against Harrison in ''[[AG003|There's no Place Like Hoenn]]''.<br />
<br />
======Kanto Battle Frontier======<br />
[[File:AG136.png|thumb|left|220px|Charizard vs Articuno]]<br />
In ''[[AG136|The Symbol Life]]'', he returned for Ash's first {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} battle, where he took on [[Noland's Articuno]] at the {{gdis|Battle Factory|III}}. Ash and Charizard flew together, where Charizard demonstrated a far improved Flamethrower and that he had learned {{m|Dragon Breath}}. In battle, he showed he was a match even for the Legendary Pokémon, using Flamethrower to burn through {{m|Ice Beam}} and strike Articuno. However, Articuno did not take much damage from Flamethrower or Dragon Breath, blinding Charizard with {{m|Mist}} and then knocking him to the ground with {{m|Steel Wing}}. Articuno then inflicted serious damage with {{m|Water Pulse}} and froze Charizard's wing tip, crippling his movements. Finally, Charizard used Overheat, which he had just learned, to melt the ice. He then caught Articuno as it tried to use Steel Wing and struck with a Seismic Toss. Charizard collapsed but managed to get up just as Articuno passed out, giving Ash and Charizard the victory.<br />
<br />
Charizard also battled alongside Pikachu, Bulbasaur, and Squirtle in a four-on-four battle against {{an|Brandon}}'s Pokémon in ''[[AG189|Gathering the Gang of Four!]]'', where he went up against {{p|Dusclops}}. Charizard had been training since his battle with Articuno and learned Steel Wing, but was put at a disadvantage when Dusclops used {{m|Confuse Ray}} and {{m|Mean Look}}, [[Escape prevention|forcing Charizard to keep battling]] in his baffled state, all the while taking damage from {{m|Will-O-Wisp}}. Finally, Charizard snapped out of his confusion and attacked with Dragon Breath, wearing both Pokémon down. However, an attempt to use Seismic Toss to finish the match cost Ash dearly, as the {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon simply dissipated and re-emerged safely at a distance, where a {{m|Shadow Punch}} took Charizard out and put Ash at a supreme disadvantage. However, Pikachu, Bulbasaur, and Squirtle managed to win the battle and the Brave Symbol. After the match against Brandon, Charizard returned to Charicific Valley.<br />
<br />
=====''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]''=====<br />
======Unova======<br />
In ''[[BW116|The Fires of a Red-Hot Reunion!]]'', Ash and {{ashfr}} attended a [[Kanto Fair]], where one of the presentations featured the local [[first partner Pokémon]], involving a live-action show with a Charmander. This made Ash remember his own Charmander, prompting him to tell {{an|Iris}}, {{an|Cilan}}, and {{an|N}} about his Charizard. Filled with a desire to see his old friend again, Ash called Professor Oak, who, in exchange for [[Ash's Unfezant]], arranged to have Charizard sent over to him. While being introduced to everyone, Charizard immediately started a fiery rivalry with [[Iris's Dragonite]], which encouraged Ash and Iris to have a battle with their two stubborn Pokémon. During the battle, Charizard was shown to have learned Wing Attack, Slash, and Dragon Tail. He quickly gained the upper hand as not even Dragonite's Dragon Rush was able to hurt him, while Dragonite was taking serious damage from Charizard's Dragon Tail. Before it could be settled, the battle was called off by N. Ash then corrected Iris's misconception that Charizard was a {{type|Dragon}}, upsetting her since she'd wanted to train one as well, and invited Charizard to rejoin his active team, which he happily agreed to.<br />
<br />
In ''[[BW117|Team Plasma's Pokémon Manipulation!]]'', he was called out by Ash to once again fight Iris's Dragonite, who was this time being controlled by [[Colress]].<br />
[[File:Ash Charizard and Pignite.png|thumb|250px|Charizard and {{AP|Pignite}}]]<br />
In ''[[BW119|Meowth, Colress and Team Rivalry!]]'', Charizard was called out to help [[Ash's Pignite]], who had difficulty breathing through his nostrils because something was blocking it. Charizard lifted him up and tossed him to help, but it did not work. Eventually, the blockage was removed, much to everyone's delight.<br />
<br />
Later, in ''[[BW121|Team Plasma and the Awakening Ceremony!]]'', Charizard was sent out alongside the rest of Ash's team to help Ash and N dig up to the surface of the {{an|White Ruins}} after they had fallen into a pit. Charizard cleverly improvised a spinning Dragon Tail to help {{AP|Krookodile}} {{m|dig}} through the earth that {{AP|Oshawott}} had softened with {{m|Hydro Pump}}. While battling Team Plasma again, Charizard withstood many of Team Plasma's attacks before Pignite came to his aid. The two then launched an incredibly powerful double Flamethrower at Team Plasma's Pokémon. However, when Colress turned his mind control machine on them, Charizard was quickly recalled to his Poké Ball, along with Ash's other Pokémon.<br />
<br />
======Decolore Islands======<br />
[[File:Ash and Charizard.png|thumb|left|250px|Charizard and Ash]]<br />
In ''[[BW135|Mystery on a Deserted Island!]]'', Ash used Charizard to battle a wild {{p|Ninetales}} on [[Frond Island]].<br />
<br />
In ''[[BW136|A Pokémon of a Different Color!]],'' Charizard and Iris's Dragonite set off to search for Clair's Dragonite, who had been separated from Clair on an [[Cave Island|island]] in the Decolore Archipelago. After Iris's Dragonite found Clair's, Charizard brought the group to them, only to find the pair squabbling. Although Charizard attempted to stop the fighting, the two Dragonite knocked him away. Later on, Charizard continued to act as a peacemaker unsuccessfully; Ash eventually thanked him for trying and returned Charizard to his Poké Ball.<br />
<br />
In ''[[BW141|Best Wishes Until We Meet Again!]]'', Charizard, along with all of Ash's Pokémon, was stolen by Team Rocket. Later, after recovering all of their Pokémon, Ash used Charizard to attack [[Jessie's Frillish]], who was using {{m|Bubble Beam}} on Ash and company. Charizard easily defeated Frillish with Wing Attack and scorched [[James's Amoonguss]] with a super-effective Flamethrower. Charizard, alongside Pikachu, {{TP|Iris|Axew}}, and {{TP|Cilan|Pansage}}, subsequently sent Team Rocket blasting off.<br />
<br />
Charizard was reunited with all of Ash's Unova Pokémon at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] in ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]''. He joined the others in a group attack on Team Rocket with his Flamethrower to send them blasting off for the last time in ''Pokémon the Series: Black & White''. Charizard was left at the lab before Ash set off for the [[Kalos]] region. He later posed with the rest of Ash's Pokémon in a group photo with him.<br />
<br />

Charizard reappeared in a flashback in ''[[SM042|Alola, Kanto!]]''.<br />
<br />
=====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''=====<br />
[[File:Ash Bulbasaur Charizard Squirtle.png|thumb|250px|Charizard, Bulbasaur, and Squirtle]]<br />
In ''[[JN068|Advice to Goh!]]'', Charizard reunited with Ash during his visit to Professor Oak's Laboratory with [[Goh]]. Sometime before, Charizard had battled against [[Ash's Infernape]] before he had left the lab to battle {{p|Moltres}}.<br />
<br />
Charizard, along with the rest of Ash's Pokémon at the lab, reunited with Ash in ''[[JN114|Friends, Rivals, Lend Me Your Spirit!]]''. During the visit, he helped train [[Ash's Gengar]] to learn {{m|Will-O-Wisp}}, and later watched the battle between Ash and [[Paul]]. Before Ash left, he posed with the rest of Ash's Pokémon in a group photo with him.<br />
<br />
From ''[[JN118|Battling as Hard as Stone!]]'' onwards, Charizard watched Ash's [[Masters Eight Tournament]] matches against {{an|Steven Stone|Steven}}, {{an|Cynthia}}, and {{an|Leon}}. In ''[[JN132|Partners in Time!]]'', Charizard appeared as a vision to Pikachu during his battle against [[Leon's Charizard]]. After Ash won the battle, Charizard joined the rest of Ash's Pokémon at the lab in celebrating their Trainer's victory.<br />
<br />
In ''[[JN135|Heroes Unite!]]'', Charizard, along with the rest of the Pokémon at the lab, welcomed Ash back to Pallet Town after his victory over Leon.<br />
<br />
In ''[[JN141|A Squad's Worth of Passion!]]'', Ash and his friends discovered Squirtle had become a performer, and Charizard and Bulbasaur were sent out to enjoy the show. They tried to meet up with Squirtle directly after the performance but were misled by Team Rocket and left. They were later able to meet up with Squirtle at their hotel, but Squirtle, upset over the idea that its friends no longer cared for it, attacked them. Charizard didn't hesitate to fight back, with Bulbasaur trying and failing to stop it. Ash broke it up, and Charizard and Bulbasaur left feeling upset. Later, a fire broke out at a warehouse, and the group found the [[Squirtle Squad]] giving their all to stop it. Deciding their feud wasn't worth it, Charizard and Bulbasaur joined the Tiny Turtle Pokémon in putting it out and rescuing the Pokémon trapped by the flames. Afterward, [[Officer Jenny]] arrived to take the Squirtle Squad to their next assignment, but not before sharing a heartfelt goodbye with the group.<br />
<br />
In ''[[JN147|The Rainbow and the Pokémon Master!]]'', Charizard assisted Ash in looking for a missing Charmander around Oak's lab, but to no avail.<br />
<br />
====Personality and characteristics====<br />
{{bulbanews|Personality & Development: Ash's Charizard}}<br />
The emotional turmoil of being abandoned by [[Damian]] defined Charizard when he was a Charmander. Despite the scorn he received from Damian, he loyally waited outside for his return, convinced that he had a good relationship when, in fact, none had existed. Only a violent confrontation revealed the unhealthy nature of his relationship with Damian. Charmander struggled with this abandonment-in ''[[EP017|Island of the Giant Pokémon]]'', he became discouraged when {{AP|Bulbasaur}} suggested that Ash had abandoned them all. Charmander was markedly shy and shown to be anxious, though his confidence quickly grew under Ash's guidance.<br />
<br />
[[File:Ash Charizard disobedience.png|thumb|left|250px|Charizard refusing to battle against [[Sparky]]]]<br />
Despite being one of Ash's most often used Pokémon, Charmander's evolution saw Charmeleon grow distant from Ash, scorning all of his former friends and seeking power alone. Charmeleon had become like Damian, obsessed with power and reputation while ignoring the value of friendship, loyalty, and kindness. Charmeleon's battle with {{p|Aerodactyl}} in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]'' was purely based on a bruised ego, and Charizard's later battles with {{TP|Blaine|Magmar}} and [[Zippo]] were solely out of grudging respect for their battling ability, and in the case of the post-league celebration, the destruction of the food. Nevertheless, he did retain some degree of loyalty to his master and his fellow Pokémon, as the aforementioned incident with Aerodactyl had Charizard barely swooping in to save Ash before completely falling asleep while being affected by Jigglypuff's singing and also saving Pikachu after Team Rocket blasted off before resuming his rampage, with ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'' even having Charizard crying for Ash when he ended up petrified.<br />
<br />
[[File:Ash Charizard Iris Dragonite.png|thumb|250px|Charizard's rivalry with Iris's Dragonite]]<br />
Once Ash made the selfless act to save Charizard from freezing in ''[[EP105|Charizard Chills]]'', Charizard finally shook off the poisonous personality traits left by Damian and regained full loyalty to Ash. His ability to work as part of a team was still hampered, but when working together with {{AP|Pikachu}} to defeat [[Luana]], he finally managed to overcome that difficulty. Since this point, Charizard has been willing to assist Ash in any battle, ranging from [[Casey's Chikorita]] to [[Falkner]]'s Pidgeot with no complaint. However, Charizard maintained the rebellious Flamethrower attacks as a sign of affection for Ash, and while Charizard was loyal, his love of power and reputation remained. This was shown significantly in his departure in ''[[EP134|Charizard's Burning Ambitions]]'', where he brashly challenged each of the wild Charizard at [[Charicific Valley]] even though he was defeated every time.<br />
<br />
Despite retaining his fiery nature and fierce battling spirit, Charizard's return to Ash's regular command in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]'' showed that he had significantly matured throughout {{jo|Liza}}'s training regime. This was displayed in ''[[BW136|A Pokémon of a Different Color!]]'', where he attempted to act as a peacemaker between [[Clair]] and {{an|Iris}}'s two squabbling {{p|Dragonite}}. During his time at Professor Oak's lab, Charizard became very good friends with Ash's Fire types and is usually seen hanging out with them, as shown in ''[[JN068|Advice to Goh!]]'' and ''[[JN114|Friends, Rivals, Lend Me Your Spirit!]]''. Charizard also befriended {{AP|Gengar}} when it visited the lab.<br />

===I Choose You!===<br />
[[File:Ash Charizard M20.png|thumb|250px|Ash's Charizard in ''I Choose You!'']]<br />
Charizard appeared in ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'', which is set in a different continuity from the main series. In this continuity, it was the second Pokémon {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|M20|Ash}} caught on his journey.<br />
[[File:Cross and Charmander.png|left|thumb|250px|As a Charmander with Cross]]<br />
As a {{p|Charmander}}, it originally belonged to a Pokémon Trainer named [[Cross]]. Cross deemed Charmander too weak however, and abandoned it and told it to stop following him. Charmander was eventually found in the rain by Ash and [[Verity]]. After arguing briefly with Cross over his decision to abandon Charmander, they took it and went inside a cave to seek shelter from the rain. There, they found [[Sorrel]], who brought Charmander back to good health.<br />
<br />
The following day, Charmander had fully recovered and Ash offered it to join his team. Charmander accepted, despite still feeling loyalty towards Cross. Charmander joined Ash, Verity, and Sorrel on their journey towards the [[Mount Tensei|Raizen Mountains]] to meet {{an|Ho-Oh}}. After a battle against a {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s {{p|Jigglypuff}}, Charmander evolved into Charmeleon. Soon after, Ash encountered Cross again and started a battle with him. Ash used Charmeleon against its former Trainer and his {{p|Incineroar}}. Charmeleon proved to be no match for Incineroar however and was defeated. Ash started to question himself and faulted the loss on Charmeleon, but later apologized when he realized his errors.<br />
<br />
Finally reaching the Raizen Mountains, Ash tried to place his [[Rainbow Wing]] atop Rainbow Rock. He was stopped by Cross however, who wanted to take the Rainbow Wing for himself. Ash battled Cross again, once again using his Charmeleon against Cross and his Incineroar. In the midst of a fierce battle, Charmeleon evolved into Charizard, and this time, it managed to defeat it. Distraught of losing against his former Pokémon, Cross started to realize the error in his ways.<br />
[[File:Ash and Charizard M20.png|250px|thumb|Charizard and Ash]]<br />
====Personality and characteristics====<br />
Unlike his main anime counterpart, Charizard has always been obedient to Ash, as well as retaining loyalty to his former Trainer Cross so that even after being assaulted by him, Charmander wanted to return to travel alongside him.<br />
<br />
Charizard over time ended up becoming a powerhouse on Ash's team, being able to beat Cross's {{p|Incineroar}} and thus show all his power to his former Trainer.<br />

Ash's Charizard appeared in ''[[SP33|Off To The Battle Frontier!!]]''. It was excited to see Ash when he called it over as it was sent for training earlier. After arrival, Ash sent it out to battle [[Noland's Articuno]]. During the battle, it struggled to keep up with Articuno despite the type advantage due to the fact that Articuno's speed was quicker than Charizard's in terms of reflexes. However, Charizard focused in on where Articuno was going to strike next and defeated it, earning Ash the Knowledge Symbol.<br />

===The Electric Tale of Pikachu===<br />
[[File:Ash Charizard EToP.png|thumb|230px|left|Charizard in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]]]<br />
{{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]].<br />
<br />
Despite this difference, Ash is still seen owning a Charmander, which first appeared in ''[[ET08|You Gotta Have Friends]]''. Charmander's capture was not shown in the manga, instead, it was explained that "Ash has been busy since the last comic!" when Charmander first appeared from its {{i|Poké Ball}}. Charmander was first seen when a lonely Ash decided to play with his other Pokémon while {{AP|Pikachu|Pikachu (EToP)}} was off playing with a group of Pikachu. Charmander simply set Ash on fire while his {{p|Oddish}} {{status|paralysis|paralyzed}} him with {{m|Stun Spore}}.<br />
<br />
In ''[[ET12|Welcome to the Big Leagues]]'', at the 88th [[Indigo Plateau Conference|Pokémon League]], Ash presented his Charmander, now fully evolved into a Charizard, to {{an|Brock}} and {{an|Misty}}. Despite the fact that Ash wanted to use Charizard as a secret weapon, Charizard refused to listen to him unless he held a special flare that burned with the fire of a {{p|Moltres}}. Due to the fact that the flare burns out quickly and Ash could lose points for using a prop, he decided to not use it and rely on his other Pokémon instead.<br />
<br />
[[File:Ash Charizard violent.png|thumb|230px|Charizard violently attacking Ritchie's Charley]]<br />
In ''[[ET13|The Indigo Finals]]'', during the fifth round of the Pokémon League, Ash sent out Charizard as his third and last Pokémon in his match against [[Ritchie]]. Ritchie countered with his own Charizard, named [[Zippo|Charley]]. Though evenly matched at first, Charizard went into a violent frenzy and mercilessly started scratching, biting, and burning Charley. Ash attempted to stop this mauling with his flare, but Charizard ignored it and continued to attack Charley, heavily injuring it and splattering its blood everywhere. Refusing to keep the fight going on this way, Ash made the choice to [[recall]] Charizard. Since Charizard had left the battle and Charley was still standing despite its injuries, Ritchie was declared the winner, ending Ash's run in the Pokémon League.<br />
<br />
Charizard appeared again in ''[[ET16|You Bet Your Wife]]'', where Ash decided to use it in a dance competition in his Gym battle against [[Rudy]]. After flying around in circles, Charizard set Ash aflame as it did in its first appearance.<br />
<br />
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.<br />

====Mirage Pokémon Lugia's Explosive Birth====<br />
Ash's Charizard first appeared in {{ma|Mirage Pokémon Lugia's Explosive Birth}}. Ash sent it out along with {{AP|Squirtle}} and {{AP|Bulbasaur}} to free the {{OBP|legendary birds|M02}} from their prisons.<br />
<br />
====Genesect and the Legend Awakened====<br />
Charizard reappeared in {{ma|Genesect and the Legend Awakened}}, where Ash sent it out along with his other Pokémon while he was in [[Pokémon Hills]].<br />

====I Choose You!====<br />
[[File:Ash Charizard M20 manga.png|thumb|200px|Charizard in ''{{ma|I Choose You!}}'']]<br />
Charizard appeared in {{ma|I Choose You!}}. It was first shown as a Charmander where [[Cross]] got it from {{an|Professor Oak}}. Later, Cross was revealed to have abandoned Charmander when {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|M20|Ash}} encountered it out in the rain. After Ash and [[Verity]] took Charmander in a cave to recover, [[Sorrel]] helped it back to good health.<br />
<br />
The next day, Ash offered Charmander to join his team and Charmander accepted. It then battled a {{p|Jigglypuff}} and defeated it, which resulted in it evolving into a Charmeleon. Charmeleon battled Cross's {{p|Incineroar}}. During the battle, it kept on damaging Incineroar, something that Cross allowed. However, it turned out to be part of Cross's plan as Incineroar's strength increased by every attack Charmeleon threw at it. Because of that, Incineroar was able to defeat Charmeleon with {{m|Cross Chop}}.<br />
<br />
After Ash and {{ashfr}} reached the [[Mount Tensei|Raizen Mountains]] and encountered Cross again, Charmeleon was used in the rematch against Cross's Incineroar. During the battle, Charmeleon evolved into Charizard and defeated Incineroar. When {{OBP|Marshadow|M20}} became corrupted by the evil tainting it because of Cross placing the Rainbow Wing on top of the rock instead of Ash, Charizard protected Cross from an attack coming from {{p|Lycanroc}} when Marshadow possessed it and took part in the battle against the other Pokémon possessed by Marshadow. After Ash disappeared from existence because of a combined attack coming from Marshadow's army, Charizard and the others were saddened to see that happen. Charizard became happy when Ash was revived.<br />

Charizard, as a Charmander, belonged to a Trainer named [[Cross]]. Cross released Charmander as he deemed it weak and then Ash eventually caught Charmander. Later, Charmander evolved into a Charmeleon.<br />
<br />
In [[ICYR3]], Charmeleon was sent out to take on three {{p|Nidoking}} at [[Mount Tensei]]. Charmeleon's {{m|Flamethrower}} caused the Nidoking to go running. Later, it was used to battle Cross's Incineroar. During the battle, Cross's Incineroar got the upper hand but Charmeleon evolved into Charizard when it was about to lose. Using its newfound power, Charizard defeated Incineroar with Seismic Toss. Charizard then faced off against Cross's Lycanroc but the outcome was unknown.<br />

* Charizard is the only one of Ash's Pokémon to start refusing to [[Obedience|obey]] him only after evolving.<br />
* Prior to ''[[EP105|Charizard Chills]]'', Charizard only seemed to obey Ash when fighting another Fire-type Pokémon: he was obedient when battling against [[Blaine's Magmar]], {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}}'s cloned {{p|Charizard}}, and [[Zippo]].<br />

* Out of all of Ash's Pokémon, Charizard holds the record for having the most amount of episodes between his capture and being left in {{an|Professor Oak}}'s care while remaining under Ash's ownership the entire time, at 788 episodes.<br />
* Out of all of Ash's first partner Pokémon, Charizard took the shortest amount of episodes to reach its final form, at 35.<br />
* Charizard has used the most regular moves out of any individual Pokémon featured in the anime, with a total of 17. The record of most moves used overall, however, is held by [[Leon's Charizard]], at 20, followed closely by [[Ash's Pikachu]], at 19.<br />
