Ash's Infernape (Champion)

Ash's Infernape was first caught by Ash as a Chimchar in the Sinnoh region after being abused and abandoned by its previous Trainer Paul. Chimchar maintained its loyalty and friendship with Ash, who showed it consistent love and kindness all the way until it evolved into Infernape. The bond between the two, combined with Ash's powers of Aura, allowed them to undergo the Battle Bond.

As Ash-Infernape, Infernape obtained a considerable boost in power, endurance and speed, being able to match and Mega-evolved and Legendary Pokemon.
