As others have pointed out. Since when do you throw a Poke ball at a Pokemon to return it? (It's quite obvious Damien released it similarly to Paul releasing Chimchar (but instead of Paul, lied about it.) Or even yet Charmander could've been unofficially Damien's and had yet to to capture it. Either way works but your "proof" doesn't prove anything.
Besides Ash is seen failing to capture Mijumaru, and Ash only ends up causing it pain. It is quite obvious the writers haven't forgotten that Mijumaru already has a Poke ball.
