Seeing Charmander being captured,
Everyone was overjoyed.
"Great, Charmander recovered and became Ash's Pokémon."
"Yeah, I wonder what will happen now that Ash and Charmander are together."
"I believe Ash, who treats Charmander as a friend, can train it to become really strong—maybe even Elite-level."
"That's definitely possible."
"Charmander will grow stronger and surprise its original owner."
"Haha, let him regret it!"
After witnessing the entire process of Ash capturing Charmander, the audience's initial indignation transformed into anticipation. They now fully expected Ash and Charmander to make a name for themselves and prove how powerful Charmander could become.
Sinnoh Region, Veilstone City.
"Treating Pokémon as friends can unleash their potential? How ridiculous."
The purple-haired boy, Shinji, smiled coldly.
At this point in time, Shinji had not yet met Ash.
He still only cared about a Pokémon's strength in battle and despised weak ones.
Whenever Shinji captured a Pokémon, he would check its abilities using his Pokédex. If it was strong, he would keep it; if it was weak, he would release it on the spot.
Anything that couldn't contribute to his battles was dismissed as "useless."
Shinji was determined to win the Pokémon Conference.
For that, he needed a burning "fire of victory."
Unfortunately, he hadn't found it yet.
And he certainly didn't think Charmander, the one Ash had met, could be that fire.
Rocket Hideout.
Like Shinji, Proton sneered at Ash's "childish" idea.
"Becoming friends with Pokémon to unleash their potential? How naive."
If such a superstitious notion were true, then what was the point of Team Rocket capturing powerful Pokémon en masse?
Weak Pokémon would always be weak.
Take Ash's Pikachu, for instance—it's no different from the stray dogs you'd find on the street.
Even if trained to be stronger, what does it matter?
Would Pikachu be able to defeat Ground-type Pokémon despite the type disadvantage?
Could it overpower Pokémon that become stronger over time?
Ash might make it to the Eight Masters stage, but under equal conditions, could he defeat Steven Stone's Metagross, the trump card of the Hoenn Champion?
"Such naive thinking," Proton muttered.
This Charmander had been abandoned because of its low potential and weak strength.
It was destined to achieve nothing.
At least, that's what Proton believed.
But...
Was that really the case?
The video continued——
[After becoming Ash's Pokémon, Charmander began a wonderful journey.]
1. During the battle to capture Infernape, the powerful Pokémon defeated Bulbasaur and Squirtle in succession, leaving Ash in a tough spot.
[At the critical moment, Charmander, driven by rage, increased its attack power and unleashed Flamethrower, defeating Infernape in one blow and helping Ash capture his first Fighting-type Pokémon.]
2. In the Fuchsia Gym battle, Charmander served as Ash's final trump card against Koga's Golbat.
[After a tenacious fight, it combined Flame Vortex and Flamethrower to secure victory, earning Ash the Fuchsia Badge.]
3. When Exeggutor went berserk for unknown reasons, Charmander, as a Fire-type Pokémon, used Flamethrower to help Ash and his friends stop the chaos.
[This series of battles and experiences earned Charmander enough to evolve into Charmeleon.]
Palace Gate Stadium Audience Seats——
"Well done, Ash!"
"Charmander evolved into Charmeleon—it's just one step away from becoming Charizard!"
"I can't wait to see Charizard soaring through the sky!"
The audience eagerly anticipated Charmeleon's future performance.
However, Dante, a seasoned Charizard fan, noticed something troubling.
Ash's Charmeleon seemed a bit... disobedient.
Could it be...
Ash's Trainer level wasn't high enough yet?
The video continued——
4. Ash and his group arrived at Dasha Valley, where they encountered their rival, Gary.
[Gary and his team had come to Dasha Valley to discover Pokémon fossils.]
[During the excavation, Team Rocket planted a bomb. In an effort to stop it from exploding, Ash fell into an underground cave.]
[There, Ash and his group discovered fossil Pokémon like Kabuto and Omanyte.]
[But there was also another terrifying Pokémon.]
It had a gray body, blue pupils, and two backward-extending horns.
Its wings were hard like stone, with a purple inner lining.
Its dual wings had sharp claws, and its teeth were serrated.
Palace Gate Stadium——
"That's... Aerodactyl!!"
Someone recognized the shadowy fossil Pokémon in the cave.
Aerodactyl, a fossil Pokémon, was said to soar through ancient skies with a proud and fearsome demeanor.
It was regarded as the king of the ancient skies.
According to some legends, Aerodactyl may have been a Flying- and Dragon-type Pokémon during its primal days.
The scene continued——
[Aerodactyl grabbed Ash without hesitation and flew out of the underground cave.]
[At the same time, it made a taunting face at Charmeleon on the ground, as if to say:]
"Who can't fly now?"
"Roar!!"
[Charmeleon, already prone to rage, was furious.]
[It stomped on the ground in frustration.]
[But no matter how angry it was, it couldn't grow wings and fly.]
[However, under extreme emotions, Charmeleon's entire body began to glow with a blue light!]
