Description

Squirtle is immature and fun-loving, whose personality contrasts with their best friend, Bulbasaur, who is the serious and mature one. Despite this, Squirtle is a capable leader when he was part of the Squirtle Squad. In "Beach Blank-Out Blastoise", Squirtle, alongside a wild Wartortle, led the other Squirtle and Wartortle in the Island of Turtle Pokémon to save a Gyarados submarine powered up by Team Rocket and later being teamed up with its king, Blastoise, to blast them back to the ocean with their Water Gun and Hydro Pump combination. In "The Pokémon Water War" and "The Fire-ing Squad!", Squirtle gains a friendly rivalry to Aidan's Wartortle in terms of fighting fires and being capable in leading their respective groups. Their initial meeting was awkward at first, especially when they were competing with each other, until both gained their friendship and respect after they are captured, including Pikachu, by Team Rocket, and saving the life of a young boy from a burning building. This also happens in the Fire and Rescue Grand Prix when both Squirtle and Wartortle finally meet again for the competition. Both are seen commanding their groups to stop fires during target practice, and later during the finals. In Gathering the Gang of Four!, after reuniting with Ash along with Pikachu, Charizard and his best friend, Bulbasaur, Squirtle also befriends May's Squirtle when they play together upon meeting and he does a playful hug to think he has a little sibling on his own. In "A Squad Worth of Passion!", Squirtle is initially shown to be stubborn and angry due to his celebrity status, leading him to argue between Charizard and his best friend Bulbasaur. But later changes when Squirtle and his Squad to stop fires with their Water Gun while getting assisted by both of them to rescue the trapped Pokémon from the fire.
