Ash's new capture *spoilers*

[absol_trainer]

Ok, I know this is a bit random, but I wanted to see what everyone on here thinks.

We havent seen a main character with a disobediant Pokemon since way way back in Kanto (at last as far as I know, I didnt watch Johto). In Kanto, Ash's Charmander was a great Pokemon... That is until it evolved into Charmeleon and ended up ignoring Ash's command in battle and being downright disrespectful.

So, does anyone else think we are about to experience Deja Vu? Afterall, Ash JUST got Chimchar who was raised and neglected by another trainer, not necessarily stronger, but still another trainer. So I'm thinking Chimchar will be lovey dovey with everyone at first, and will get a lot of screen time and be out of its ball alot because Ash just got it. Also, because it is a traded Pokemon, its going to level up faster (if that happens in the anime). Regardless, I think Chimchar will be the next to evolve, and once it does I think it is going to go crazy and ignore Ash... And that will last up until a climactic battle that has Ash vs Paul in which Monferno or Infernape sees Paul and goes crazy.

And, if it isnt Chimchar that is disobediant I think it will be Dawn's Buizel disrespecting Ash or Ash's Aipom not liking Dawn as a trainer (after all, Aipom loves Ash and gets very jealous).

One, it's not going to be disobediant because it's arrogant like Lizardon. If it is disobediant, it won't be intentionally.

And two, it's not going to level up faster even if the animé did have that concept. It's not traded. Shinji released it, and Satoshi captured it. No trading involved.

Also, we have had a (short lived) disobediant Pokemon sub-plot recently in DP. Buizel and Hikari. It seems to have been resolved by the Lucian episode though.
