In the middle of a vast volcanic ridge, a lonesome Charmander travels around seemingly lost. The Pokémon himself had a Long tail and dark blue eyes and otherwise looked like any other Charmander. "How long do I have to go on ?" the lizard thought to himself , before thinking about the scenes from the past few days that had burned into his memories.
The lizard was living in a cave on the flank of a Volcano , together with his parents . He clearly remembered his moms face with her sky blue eyes. One day his dad and his mom went outside to find something edible . Seconds later an earthquake started shaking up the ground. Even though Earthquakes are something normal in the region due to the tectonical shifts , this event changed their sons live for good. The next thing Charmander remembered was an avalanche of rocks and dirt covering up the entrance to the cave but outside the screams of his parents broke through the grumbling sound of the Landslide. After a few Minutes the rather young Charmander had cleared the entrance to the cave , using his sharp Claws to remove the debris. Mom? Dad? He yelled loudly… That call has not been answered until this very day… Charmander remembered
Tears started to form in his eyes…."I am so hungry… and my feet hurt from all the running around , but on the other hand where do I have to go to anyway ? " The Fire type thought to himself. The area itself was pretty warm and as one can imagine also dotted with volcanoes . Eruptions here where something that happened regularly. Streams of liquid Lava where flowing through the Valleys. Charmander concentrated on travelling on high ground since he could spot any danger from afar. Staying this close to the volcanic craters was safe for him due to being a fire type. Any other Pokemon type would be burned to cinders if they came into direct contact with the hot lava.
Charmander was sitting down on rock , staring into a volcanic pit next to him, when a loud but far away voice interrupted the second-lasting break: "Don´t eat me!" Charmander scanned the area looking for the source of the voice… In the distance the blue eyed lizard spotted a little Pokemon with flames on his back running away from a rocky snake who was dozens of times bigger and heavier. The two Pokemon where running through a valley formed by the volcano charmander was on and by a crater in the distance.
"If I don´t do anything that Pokémon is going to be a goner" The reptile didn't´ bother about climbing down safely. Even though he knew it would be painful Charmander sledded down the step and rocky slope on his back, trying to intercept the route of the two Pokemon he spotted earlier.
The rocks where starting to cut into the lizards skin as he started to slide faster after what seemed like forever Charmander stopped sliding ..He looked around to find out that the Pokemon he was looking for were getting close. The fire type quickly got up and ran toward the center of the valley where seconds later the fleeing fire Pokémon arrived, with his giant follower in tow.
The little Pokemon with the fire on his back looked at the lizard, although he was a fire type he was shivering with fear…" please don´t kill me "he said. Charmander took a closer look at the Pokemon who had a few wounds on him when the hungry predator finally came to where the two fire types where at . He stood up in his full size before yelling :" I will eat both of you then , I am a pretty hungry Onix anyways." " Not if I can help it" Charmander said before walking in front of the chased pokemon. The little fire mouse Pokemon looked totally amazed at was happening. Charmander jumped up into the air before his tail started to glow brightly " iron tail! " he yelled before striking Onix´s head with his tail . A chunk of rock was knocked out of the rock Pokemon big head .
"Ow how dare you! " the Onix roared…" I´m out of here! " He said before digging into the ground.
" Wow you sure are strong Charmander , by the way I ´m Cyndaquil, thanks for saving me ." "Nice to meet you Cyndaquil , well I do train a lot so I can defend myself. " how about we go up there, usually no Pokemon follows you if you are close to a volcano " Charmander said pointing up to the volcano where he had been before. " Okay I´ll try but I'm not that much of a climber " There is probably a way up that is not so step , look ahead…" Charmander pointed to a slope of the volcanoes that was not that step.
"What are you doing out here all by yourself?" The lizard wondered, "Well that´s a long story …I can tell you on the way to the top of the volcano ." Cyndaquil said before following Charmander back to the top of the volcanoes.
