Charmander slowly opened his eyes… his head was hurting… the lizard Pokémon looked around ….after a few seconds he realized he was flying in the sky, but he was riding on something strange but somehow familiar " Um who are you ? And where are Cyndaquil and Snivy? "He asked … the being he was flying on had big and orange wings …and a flame on the tip of his tail…" I spotted you when you got in trouble there…I can take you to safety….I´m Charizard by the way…." The Pokémon said… "Your friends… they got wounded very seriously…" Charizard raised her hands, in which she was holding Snivy and Cyndaquil... They were still unconscious …
From up here, the Lavastreams looked like liquid gold, as they melted their way through the landscape and the volcanoes looked so small… one of them erupted, it looked like a cloud of embers…the skies up here were a bit hazy due to volcanic gases streaming into the atmosphere…the sun was at about 12 o´clock… Charmander started to imagine, what it would be like, when he would into a Charizard one day… He could fly over all the dangers… but that moment was distant…
"Where are we headed to?" Charmander asked "The place where I live at…" The lizard Pokémon tried to remember what happened before he passed out…" wait... did you beat those dog Pokémon?" The lizard wanted to know..." No, I just distracted them with a smokescreen attack" Charizard answered… suddenly Cyndaquil started to move… she opened her eyes… at sight of the height she was in , the fire mouse Pokémon ignited her back and started to scream in panic… " Calm down..." Charizard said "it´s safe, don´t worry. You´ll be fine …" the Fire and Flying type said, trying to calm Cyndaquil down…" hey what´s wrong with Snivy?" The fire mouse Pokémon wondered…"she took some serious burns…" Charizard explained…"
As Charizard flew on, the amount of lava streams got fewer… and volcanoes here didn´t look, like they had erupted in recent times…the air was a lot cooler and fresher…"were going to land soon " Charizard said, before he decreased his height …"weee! This is fun" Cyndaquil said. After a few minutes of flying Charizard had landed in front of a hole in the ground…"I know it´s not a luxurious place, but it´s home" she said …Charmander took a closer look at Charizard …her Flame was a lot bigger than his, her eyes were sky blue, and she had some kind of horns on her head…Charmander started to remember where he had last seen eyes like that, until it shot through his mind, like an eruption… Cyndaquil had gone into the hole… Charizard had put Snivy down… "Do you have any offspring?" Charmander asked... he was clearly nervous about asking something like that… "Well there was one son that I had …" tears started to form in her eyes.."but he died during a Landslide…he was in a cave…he probably got covered by dirt and …" Charizard fell to her knees, tears started to run down her face "I always loved him …I can´t forget him…" her tears started to drop to the ground, her flame started to flicker…then she looked at Charmander before she realized, that he was not any Charmander… "Could it be …" she whispered… "I dug myself out of the hole " the lizard Pokémon explained… "I´m sorry I doubted you " Charizard said…Charmander ran towards his mother and hugged her…
Cyndaquil came back out of the cave... "what is going on?" the Fire mouse asked… but when she took a closer look, she understood what was going on… "Congrationlations " the fire mouse Pokémon said, rubbing her head against Charmander… " I´m prouder of you then I ever have been, you survived in the wilderness and even found some reliable friends ... "Charizard said, patting the back of her son…
"Ooooww" a moan from Snivy interrupted the peaceful reunion… The snake Pokémon opened her eyes "Wait, I got some berries that will help your burns, but you do need some rest ..." Charizard explained… Snivy´s wounds looked very painful she had some kind of blisters all over her body…"really? " Snivy tried to get up, but the pain dominated her will…" have a rawst berry ..." Charizard suggested, handing a green berry to Snivy…"wow giant lizard "she thought to herself…the Snake Pokémon slowly ate the rather small berry…some of the burns disappeared, but Snivy was still very weak…Charmander explained what happened…" wow sounds complicated…"The grass type commentated. Snivy tried getting up again, even though it worked, the grass type was still in big pain...she could hardly walk.
The hole ended up into a small tunnel just below the surface…
Charizard carried Snivy into the cave…"well you don´t see grass types around these parts regularly…" Snivy explained what happened to her and how she ended up being in this kind of Landscape…"They really did that? I´m sorry to hear that…" the Flame Pokémon said…" I hate them for that…" "Those are some though words, but I probably would feel the same if someone did that to me..."
By the way this is where you can sleep at " Charizard said, pointing to a bunch of hay which was spread out in the back of the cave… "Hmm this is nice and soft " Cyndaquil said, walking onto the hay "watch out, so you don´t ignite it okay?" She said, looking at the other three Pokémon…they all nodded… "Well I don´t have any more berries here, well have to find some around here Charmander´s mom said… "I´m going to stay here okay?" Snivy said, lying down on the hay…" No prob, it´s pretty safe, since hardly anyone knows about this place… "Charizard explained…
After a few Minutes the fire Pokémon got back to the surface… "hop on you two" Charizard said… and after the smaller Fire Pokémon got on her back, they lifted off into the skies in search of food …
