Who's that Pokémon: Ash's Charizard

• Ash's Charizard was the fifth Pokémon Ash caught during his journey through the Kanto region.
• It debuted in Charmander – The Stray Pokémon as a Charmander that had been unknowingly abandoned by its trainer, Damian, who considered it too weak and a waste of time. After saving Charmander's life, and helping it realize Damian's true intentions, Ash welcomed Charmander as the newest member of his team.
• It evolved into Charmeleon in The March of the Exeggutor Squad after wiping out a stampede of Exeggutor, and later evolves into Charizard in Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon when it wanted to challenge an Aerodactyl, giving it the ability to fly.
• Since evolving into Charmeleon, Charizard hadn't obeyed Ash until Charizard Chills after being frozen by Ice Beam, and Ash spent the entire day and night keeping Charizard heated. Since then, it had become one of his most used Pokémon at the time.
• In Charizard's Burning Ambitions, Ash decides to leave Charizard in the Charicific Valley where it can get stronger under the care of Liza and her Charizard, Charla. Charizard later forms a romantic interest in Charla.
• Ash's Charizard also appears in The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga.
