History

As a Charmander

In Vs. Machop, Charmander was abandoned by his trainer, Damian, and left on a rock. When Ian learned about this, Ian goes out into a raging storm to retrieve it, to save its life. However, after recovering, Charmander goes back to its rock, to wait for its trainer. It encounters Damian, learning that it intentionally abandoned it, and didn't intend to come back for it. Ian beats Damian up to defend it, and Charmander goes with him afterwards.

In Vs. Gastly, Charmander gets his first battle with Ian, as it's used to light up the Pokémon Tower. It then battles Gastly, though is defeated by it.

In Vs. Oddish, Charmander has a practice match with Squirtle.

In Vs. Bulbasaur, Charmander is let out to play with the Pokémon. When Ian goes to battle Bulbasaur, he initially wants to use Charmander. However, Squirtle convinces him to let it battle, disappointing Charmander.

In Vs. Golbat, Charmander is Ian's first choice against Koga. It battles Venomoth, and while it has a difficult time, it manages to win upon learning Fire Spin. However, due to the Poison that had been inflicted on it beforehand, it falls defeated shortly after that.

In Vs. Hitmonchan, Charmander battles the Golem of Cue Ball Ryder. After a difficult battle, Charmander manages to win with Fire Spin.

In Vs. Gloom, Charmander is Ian's first choice in his gym battle against Erika. It defeats her Tangela with ease, but is defeated by Weepinbell, caught in its Sweet Scent.

In Vs. Golduck, Charmander is used to fight Cobalt, in an attempt to save the other Pokémon. However, it is overpowered by Cobalt's Golduck and Pidgeot. In desperation, Charmander evolved into Charmeleon, and it manages to assist to drive Cobalt off.

As a Charmeleon

Upon evolving, Ian uses Charmeleon against much tougher opponents, due to being one of his few evolved Pokémon. However, Charmeleon doesn't have a victory in this stage.

In Vs. Scyther, Charmeleon battles Gary's Graveler. Despite success in the past against a Golem, Charmeleon is defeated with ease.

In Vs. Marowak, Charmeleon is chosen to fight against Cobalt's Marowak after Sandslash is defeated. However, it doesn't fare any better, and is defeated.

In Vs. Rhydon, Ian chooses Charmeleon along with Bulbasaur to help him escape the Rocket Grunts inside the Viridian Gym, led by Carr. They are overpowered, and Charmeleon becomes Ian's last standing Pokémon, though is defeated. In desperation, Charmeleon evolves into Charizard, its new found power being enough to break Ian free.

As a Charizard

Upon evolving, Charizard becomes disobedient, in search for power. It had taken on Damian's personality, believing that if it gains enough power, then it can earn respect. And upon evolving, it deemed itself stronger than Ian, and stops listening to him.

In Vs. Charizard, it attacks all of Ian's Pokémon, trying to prove it's the strongest. Ian tries to calm it down, and eventually defeats it with Mr. Mime. After that, Ian realized that Charizard wouldn't listen.

In Vs. Rapidash, Ian chooses Charizard to battle Blaine and his Ninetales. However, it flies off and goes to sleep, not listening or fighting.

In Vs. Kimberly, Ian tries to train with Charizard, though it doesn't listen. Then, Kimberly arrives with a high level Charizard, which sparks its interest to battle. Charizard doesn't listen to Ian during the battle, however, and is crushed by Blast Burn.

In Vs. Arcanine, Ian chooses Charizard to battle Gary's Arcanine. While Charizard is interested in the battle, it doesn't listen to Ian, causing its defeat.

In Vs. Moltres, Ian chooses Charizard to combat Carr's Cloyster, though it takes no interest in fighting. When Moltres appears, however, it charges right at it, and is defeated. Carr tries to attack Charizard, but Ian defends it. Charizard regains its trust in Ian, and begins to obey him again, saving him from falling into the volcano.

In Vs. Magmar, Charizard battles Blaine's Magmar, revealing that it completely obeys Ian now. It wins the battle with ease.

In Foreign Fighters in the Search for Mew, Charizard assists in fighting Shadow's Gyarados.

Ian spends time with Charizard preparing for the Indigo League, training with Snorlax.

In Vs. Damian, Charizard is Ian's last choice against Damian. It defeats his Machoke with ease.

In Vs. Blastoise, Charizard fights Gary's Blastoise, simulating the battle between Red and Blue. The two are evenly matched, though Blastoise is able to resist his attacks more efficiently. The two both drop to their last knees, when they both activate their abilities, Blaze and Torrent. With that, Charizard is defeated at the end, causing Ian to be eliminated from the tournament.

In Vs. Eevee, Ian leaves Charizard at Professor Oak's lab.

In Vs. Skarmory, Ian recalls Charizard to his party, in order to battle Falkner's Skarmory. Skarmory's speed gets the best of Charizard at first, but it manages to defeat Skarmory, winning Ian the match.

In Vs. Magby, Charizard assists the other Pokémon in putting out a forest fire, flapping its wings to try and put them out, and to spread water.

In Vs. Charicific Valley, Charizard goes to the Charicific Valley, and learns of its weakness compared to other Charizard. Ian decides to leave it there, so it can train and become stronger, something it won't be able to do with him.

In Vs. Gary 1, Charizard rejoins Ian's party to prepare for the upcoming battle against Gary. It was Elise's practice partner as her Clefairy showed off her new Dazzling Gleam attack, which revealed that Fire types resisted Fairy type moves.

In Vs. Gary 2, Charizard swiftly defeats Gary's Scizor, and initiates a rematch with Blastoise. Charizard reveals its new Heat Wave and Dragon Rush attacks, though the power of the attacks are met by Blastoise's increased speed and power building with Power Up Punch. Blastoise controls the battle for a bit, but Charizard retakes control, the two exhausted. They activate their abilities Blaze and Torrent, respectively, as Charizard wins the battle with a new Heat Wave Dragon Rush combo.
