The Very First Charizard or Why the
Char-Family Have Burning Tails
by Marikunin/GirlWaterShaman
Long ago, the
Char-family had not tails of flame. But this all changed one fateful
day. A Charmeleon and Wartortle were stopped during a long journey by
a Gengar. Mad from sufferings unknown, he demanded of them penance
for safe passage.
When this order was denied, the enraged Ghost
challenged them to a battle. It raged for a day and a night, for the
Gengar had few weaknesses.
Eventually, the Charmeleon and the
Wartortle were facing the door to the next life. The Wartortle begged
the Charmeleon to do something, for the fight had made her unable to
stand.
"I am not yet ready to leave this world," said
she, "for I have yet to truly love."
Now driven to
somehow save his precious friend, the Charmeleon felt a great heat
erupting from within. About to burst from raw power, he guided the
energy to his tail; the only non-injured limb.
The new flame on
his tail grew until it enveloped the Charmeleon completely. When the
flames faded back to normal size, a majestic beast was in his place.
The Wartortle was now protected by the very first Charizard.
Seeing
this new, fearsome creature, the Gengar tried to flee but was
prevented by the Charizard.
"Harm not any creature from this
day," the dragon warned, "Or I WILL return to seek
vengeance for their sakes."
Finally, a loud Roar chased the
Gengar away, and the duo continued on their journey.
This is how
the Char-family gained tails tipped with fire, and the birth of the
very first Charizard.
