Ash's Charizard (Aura)

Ash's Charizard is the fifth Pokémon acquired by Ash Calem Ketchum in the Kanto region.

Personality and characteristics
The emotional turmoil of being abandoned by Damian defined Ash's Charizard whilst he was a Charmander. Despite the scorn he received from Damian, he remained loyal to him, convinced that he had a good relationship where in fact none existed. When made to sit through a rain storm in hunger and fatigue, Charmander saw that Ash and Jacob showed real kindness toward him, something he never experienced while with Damian. Only a violent confrontation revealed to him the unhealthy nature of and his relationship with Damian.

Charmander sees Jacob's Charizard, Smaug, as an older brother and mentor, who stood up for him when Damian wanted to take Charmander back with him. As such, Smaug showed him the value of friendship, loyalty and kindness, which has never lefted Charmander, even as he evolved into Charmeleon and into Charizard.

Serena's Charmander, Charla, had a crush on him the moment they first met. At first, Ash's Charmander blushed with embarrassment. But as he evolved into Charmeleon and finally Charizard, he grew to accept Charla as a girlfriend, and sometimes likes to show off for her.
