Why is Ash's Charizard so disobedient?

Ash's Charizard was disobedient due to a mix of past trauma from being abandoned by its original trainer, Damian (creating fear of weakness/abandonment), evolving rapidly into a powerful Pokémon that viewed inexperienced Ash as unworthy, and the anime's nod to the game mechanic where high-level Pokémon disobey.
