After saving Cyndaquils life, Charmander and the fire mouse Pokémon were starting to climb up the slope to the craters of the volcanoes where Charmander had come down from earlier.
The lizard Pokémon told Cyndaquil what had happened a few days ago "That sounds awful" Cyndaquil said before revealing her own past. "I used to be a Pokémon within a tribe of Cyndaquil as well as Quilava and a Typhlosion which are the evolved forms. One day the Typhlosion wanted me to mate with someone I didn´t like at all, so I refused to do so. That's when he told me to leave the tribe if I didn´t follow his order…Since I´m right here you can probably figure I decided to leave…"The Fire Mouse looked at Charmander before saying : " I always wanted someone I could rely on, who would be there to help me out when I got in trouble " she added.
Do you know where to find food around here? I haven´t eaten in a long time" The lizard said. "I remember some of my friends talking about dormant volcanoes being a place where berries grow but they can be very hard to find." The fire mouse said.
By the time the two fire types reached the top, the sun had started to set, however, there was never something such as a quiet and dark night in the Landscape due to the volcanic activities brightening the skies with orange reflections from the lava which reflected back of the clouds.
Cyndaquil was amazed by the view from the top of the volcano. "So where are you going to go to? " Charmander asked." I don´t know, but I would like to travel around together with you…" "That would be perfectly fine with me, how about we find one of those inactive volcanoes so we can get something to eat? "The lizard suggested "Sounds like a plan, but I´m really glad to know I won´t have to wander around here and being alone for the rest of my life "she said." How about we spend the night here, so we can get some sleep and then we´ll set out tomorrow?" Cyndaquil said before yawning loudly… Charmander laid down "It´s a pretty nice place to sleep, since it´s warm here "the Blue eyed lizard said.
Cyndaquil touched Charmanders nose with her own, before rubbing her head against the one of her new friend. Charmander, who was clearly surprised, opened his eyes. "I hate sleeping by myself "The fire mouse added, looking into the reptiles eyes. " No prob "Charmander said, before stroking Cyndaquils head a couple times while looking into her eyes, before letting his hand rest on her back. The two Pokémon grinned at each other. Charmander took a closer look at the fiery back of the mouse Pokémon. "Your fire is pretty nice" the lizard said" Cyndaquil looked at her friend's fiery tail "Your fire looks very relaxing but hot" She said before giving Charmander a kiss on his cheek, who blushed afterward. "Good night" Charmander said before closing his eyes. Cyndaquil put out the fire on her back before falling asleep as well.
The sun had set and night had wrapped the Landscape. Through the night many eruptions could be heard and little vibrations of the ground could be felt. The night in the Landscape didn´t feel peaceful like one would imagine, some sort of tension always remained no matter what time of the day it was
After many hours of sleep Charmander felt someone licking his cheek. "Morning" a familiar voice said, waking up the sleepy Pokémon. "Morning Cyndaquil "the lizard said, getting up. Then he breathed a cloud of flames into the air. Cyndaquil ignited her back before doing the same." I think your fire might even be hotter than mine. "Charmander analyzed.
"No not again!" Cyndaquil said before pointing downwards where Charmander spotted the rocky snake from the day before coming up to the volcano, along with two followers…Charmander could see their evil grins on their face… "What do we do?" Cyndaquil asked looking towards the lizard who had rescued her the other day for directions…."let´s run to the crater quickly"… Charmander said before doing so, along with Cyndaquil following.
