Wisdom of Pokemon from The PoJo

Ash, Pikachu, Misty and Brock are still lost in the Forest. They come

across a weakened Charmander sitting on top of a rock. Ash tries to

catch it, but can't. Pikachu talks to Charmander and "tells" the others

that the Charmander is waiting for its Master to come back. They

continue on, and find a Pokemon center to spend the night as it begins

to rain.

Later, they overhear a Pokemon trainer named Damien bragging

about how he abandoned a Charmander on a rock. After almost getting

into a fight with Damien, they rush out to rescue Charmander, who is

huddled under a leaf in the pouring rain, barely alive and able to keep

his tail flame lit. They get him back to the Center, where he is rushed

into Intensive Care.

By the next morning, Charmander is much better and

leaves to go back to the rock to wait for Damien. Though saddened by

Charmander's loyalty to such a callous Trainer, Ash and friends continue

on towards Vermillion City, but fall into one of Team Rocket's traps.

This time, Team Rocket is outfitted in rubber suits, so Pikachu's shocks

won't work on them.

Just when all seems lost, Charmander rescues them.

As they are congratulating Charmander and welcoming him to the team,

Damien shows up and tells Charmander that he was looking for him, while

bragging to Ash about how leaving Charmander on the rock "toughened him

up". For a moment Charmander hesitates about whether to go with Damien

or stay with Ash, then soundly whacks Damien (with a little help from

Pikachu!).
