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.
Pokemon is actually both. The manga gives the foundation, and the anime expands on it with action and adventure. They complement each other and offer different ways to enjoy the Pokemon world.
