After locating and saving Cyndaquil, Charmander confessed his feelings to her. The fire mouse Pokémon had many wounds and bruises all over her, but that didn´t stop her from getting so close to Charmander and letting her emotions run wild. Her eyesight was blurry and she could hardly walk… "Can we get out of here soon?" Snivy interrupted. "Sure, my mom's probably worried by now anyway…" Charmander said, before he got up. "Oooowww…" Cyndaquil moaned, when she tried walking a little… " I wonder how often I´m going to do this " Snivy said , before she extended her vines and wrapped them around Cyndaquil, who had put her fire out … a second later, Snivy lifted the Fire mouse Pokémon up, "Thank you! " she said , while she grinned , although her facial expression showed that she was trying to suppress the pain she was in…
After lifting the wounded Cyndaquil, Snivy and Charmander walked back through the tunnel they had come from… The path through the mountain seemed endless, there were many twists and turns. "So how did they get you all the way out here?" Snivy wondered… "Well when they showed up at our place, they somehow paralyzed me, so I couldn´t really move…, but I did manage to use my Smokescreen, so there would be a little black trail…, since it was night, they didn´t see it" Cyndaquil explained. The fire Pokémon looked at Charmander, she could feel her heart beat quicker, when she gazed at his blue eyes… After a few more minutes of walking, the three Pokémon did make it outside…Charmander´s mom was, where she had landed at earlier…
When the three smaller Pokémon got to Charizard, she revealed an Oran Berry that she had been hiding… " I guessed you would probably need one of them " The Flame Pokémon said, before she held out the berry in front of Cyndaquil, the Fire mouse Pokémon took a bite… many of the wounds vanished almost instantly … " hmm… thanks " she said, while chewing the berry. Snivy let Cyndaquil down and drew back her vines… Even though it looked like the fire type was healed, she did seem rather tired… Charmander touched her forehead "Wow you feel pretty cold" the lizard Pokémon analyzed… "I know how to help that " his mom suddenly said, before she laid down and Snivy Charmander and Cyndaquil got on her back… she lifted off into the skies …
"Where are we going now? " Snivy asked… "It´s a nice and warm place. " The Flame Pokémon said … Snivy grinned, she always liked the warmth and especially the rays of the sun were something she enjoyed. Even though it was rather cool up here, the sun was a lot more intense in these heights. There were hardly any clouds in the sky. As Charizard flew on the air got progressively warmer. After a few minutes Charizard lowered her height, landing on the edge of an active volcano… " you got to be kidding me " Snivy said … " I like it warm but not THAT warm !" the grass type complained, staring into the volcanic pit, which was filled with bubbling hot lava… The Snake Pokémon could hardly take the heat… "Just make sure you keep your distance" Charizard suggested... then she looked at Cyndaquil… "If you go into the lava for a few minutes you should be feeling better " Charizard went on…
Charmander was already on his way into the crater, he jumped high into the air, before he made a somersault and then he landed in the lava… Snivy just shook her head at the sight of that… the grass type cringed, when the lava splashed… "What weird creatures " she thought to herself… Cyndaquil dashed towards the crater and dived in… Charizard watched the two fire types from afar… Charmander splashed lava at Cyndaquil when she surfaced, the fire mouse Pokémon was giggling, before she swam over to Charmander and kissed him… Cyndaquil felt her body slowly getting warmer, as the lava helped her regain her strength…
After half an hour of the fire Pokémon playing in the lava, Charizard started to scan the area , as if fearing detection by someone. "We better go home soon, there is something that I do need to discuss with you " The Flame Pokémon said. " Finally, I'll never complain about water again! " Snivy said, while she looked at Charmander and Cyndaquil… The heat started to make her dizzy. Soon the two fire types started to climb out of the lava… After a few minutes Charizard had laid down, and the three Pokémon got onto her back, ready to ride back to base… The flying type lifted off, away from the crater …
Snivy had trouble with sitting so close to the fire types, as they still were hot from the lava. "I could roast a berry on their backs "The grass type thought to herself. Charmander looked at Cyndaquil, who was just resting… it was probably noon by now, and as Charizard flew on the area started to seem more and more familiar. On their way Charmander spotted a few Pokémon from afar, wandering about… Charmander thought about his adventures in the landscape and now he was really thank full for the ride … "So what do you think about that note? " Charizards mom asked Snivy. " Well in my opinion everyone should be allowed to be where he wants to and I also think, that you should live , the way you think it is right " . " That´s a good mode of living " Charizard said, while she was clearly thinking to herself about something… Soon Charizard landed in front of their base and Charmander Cyndaquil and Snivy got of her, before she rushed into her cave… the three Pokémon followed her " I was thinking about something that you three are probably able to do, but I don´t know if you want to. " Charizard said " what would that be ? " Charmander said , not knowing what his mom ment…
"I was considering, that you could form one of those teams, which go out and help others " his mom explained… "I don´t know if we would be strong enough for that" Cyndaquil said, reminiscing her kidnapping… "If you train a bit more, you´ll be able to face anything " the Flame Pokémon explained… " Maybe " Snivy said , before she looked at the other two Pokémon " I really don´t trust strangers a lot , but you two seem all right " Snivy said , before she stretched her hand out " For freedom. " The grass type said, giving the other two Pokémon a sign . " I swore that I would start a better life , when I left my tribe and I found it " she said , looking at Charmander " So I want to try to help others who are stuck in their situations " The fire mouse said, before she put her paw on top of Snivy´s hand. " For equality. " The fire type said . " Well I want to bring together the ones that are separated from others " Charmander said , while he looked at his mom , then he put his clawed hand on top of Cyndaquil´s. " For boundless friendships." The lizard Pokémon said . Then they all raised their hands into the air…
