Ep 61. Play with Fire!

Ash, Misty, and Brock have been traveling with Charizard for some time now but things get heated when the fiery Pokemon starts to disobey Ash's every command. It seems the Charizard has gotten too big for its britches and now thinks it is the one who should be calling the shots.

This behavior causes some trouble for Ash and his friends, as they try to make it to the next town. But things go wrong when Charizard refuses to follow Ash's commands and wanders off into the woods. Ash and his friends follow Charizard, but their journey comes to an abrupt halt when they realize they're being followed by a group of fire-breathing Pokemon trainers.

The group of trainers challenges Ash to a battle, but things take a turn for the worse when they lure Charizard into a trap. Charizard is caught in a cage and is unable to escape. Ash and his friends try to help Charizard, but things only get worse as the trainers begin to rain fire on them. In desperation, Ash tries to use a nearby river to put out the flames but his attempts are futile.

Just when all hope seems lost, a group of wild Charizard appear and come to Ash's rescue. The trainers are defeated and Ash and his friends are finally able to free Charizard from the cage. However, Ash realizes that he must earn Charizard's trust back, and decides to engage in a training regimen with Charizard in order to build a stronger bond.

The training proves to be difficult, as Charizard is still very stubborn and refuses to listen to Ash. But with time and patience, Ash is eventually able to earn Charizard's respect and trust. Together, they train and hone their skills until they're ready to face any challenge.

In the end, Ash and Charizard are able to make amends and continue their journey together. The experience also teaches Ash the importance of understanding and nurturing the relationships he has with his Pokemon, as they are more than just powerful battle tools - they are loyal companions who will always have his back.
