In this fanfiction, it could be that Ash has a really good strategy. He might first make Gyarados use up a lot of its energy by making it attack Charmander's illusions or decoys. Then, when Gyarados is tired, Charmander can step in with its full power. Charmander could also use the environment to its advantage. Maybe there are some flammable objects around that can be set on fire by Charmander, creating a more powerful and widespread fire attack that Gyarados can't avoid.
A key element is the bond between Ash and Charmander. It's usually shown as a strong and unbreakable connection. Another is their growth. Ash grows as a trainer and Charmander as a Pokémon. For example, Charmander evolving into Charmeleon and then Charizard is often a big part of the story.
Ash's character development is quite significant. At first, he might be a bit over - eager and not fully understand Charmander's needs. But as they spend time together, he learns patience.

And his sense of loyalty deepens as he would do anything to protect Charmander.
One possible plot could be that Ash finds Charmander much earlier than in the original series. They could form a really strong bond quickly and start training in a different way. Maybe they focus more on speed and stealth rather than the usual battling approach at first.
