Rivals? (Pyro)

[Tyger]

<sup>My claws itched from the dryness of the forest. Sure, I was used to it by now, but being a little lizard surrounded by fire, sometimes my rubbery skin would flake, like a Seviper shedding it's skin. Seviper, those were good Pokemon. Momma used to tell me about them. They were cunning, and strong. I want to be like Seviper, but as a Charizard. Of course, a Seviper with wings would be an interesting sight... Maybe I'll carry a Seviper one day when I'm a Charizard, just to fufill this mental image. But then again, unless I fly over water, I'll never see the actual image...

Oh, here I go, rambling again! I let go of a sigh and held my tail close to me. After all, it was the only thing I really had. I had myself, and I had my flame. If it went away, I'd have nothing else, now would I? I felt the flames warm my face, and let it rest behind me at it's natural curve. I started down the path, excited to see what was in store. After all, i was more than ready to be a Charizard. If any Charmander in the world deserved to be a Charizard, it was me. And i was more than willing to prove it.

Hey, everyone! I'm Charger! Don't mess with me! Cause i'm super charged and ready to go! I'm gonna be a Charizard, one day, so you all better watch out! I shouted out in the burning forest, confident there was nobody around. There were other Charmanders who had left the nest around the same time I had, so maybe I could make friends. Friends? Nah. Maybe I could find myself a good rival. That'd be fun.</sup>

Orange body moved at a leisurely pace. My legs moved one in front of another, arms tucked in close to my yellow body. Blue eyes scanned the area, so far I couldn't see much. It was cooler here than in the most burning part of the forest, where I was used to. But I would have to get used to the cooler temperatures if I was going to battle with the Raikou and train to become a powerful Charizard and end up in the Volcano again. At least that was my goal, was to become a Charizard and return back to Volcano and see my parents again. Whether or not I would change my mind later would be a different story.

The large bright flame on the tip of my tail was reassuring to me. It was the essence of my life and health. If it was low, then I would be unhealthy, close to death. If it was full and bright as it was now, I was brimming with life and energy. I am healthy and have lots of will to keep going. Though I didn't want to fight much, I would try to make friends before fighting. But if it came to it, I would surely fight. I learned that. I can't be scared any more. I have to be confident in myself, believe that I can do it and surely I would.

Pads of my clawed feet touched the cool ground. Claws dug into the soft soil, but as I walked more and more forward the air got more and more drier. I was getting back into the burning forest. I guess that it isn't hard to miss or get away from. This was what this place was named after all. The smile was still on my large face, as it usually was. Nostrils flared as I tasted the air. There was another near me, I couldn't tell what it was yet. But there was another Pokemon nearby, and it was also soon confirmed because their voice echoed out.

I stopped, listening to the words. I was intrigued. Was there another Charmander in this forest? Perhaps I am not alone in this. This Charmander would surely feel the same as what I am feeling now that we have been kicked out. I picked up my speed to nearly a run, careful not to trip over my large feet. Claws dug into the dry surface and pushed me forward to gain me more speed. I was getting more and more excited, my heart raced against my chest as I spotted the Charmander not to far away. This one was different, however, from the other Charmander that I have seen. He was lighter and had a 'glow' about him. I slowed greatly as I neared, intrigued with how he looked. This one was the same height as me, which made me feel happy as I was always the largest one in the nest. Clumsiest as well. Maybe he was clumsy like me. "Hello, I am Pyrogenic, or just Pyro." I greeted with a large smile on my face.
