Chapter 19: Charizard's Burning Ambitions

(Mew and her friends are now walking across the plains to get to the next gym and to carry out Professor Oak's errand.)

(However, it's proven to be a rather long trip.)

Brock: "We've sure done a lot of walking, haven't we?"

(Brock says.)

Mew: "Yeah, my feet are killing me."

(Mew says.)

Jen: "I'm really tired."

(Jen says.)

Misty: "Well, you did have a few battles, and did training with us, but you also had to go up against Team Rocket."

(Misty says.)

Tomo: "Yeah. I feel that you battle them a lot more."

(Tomo says.)

(And speaking of Team Rocket, the criminal trio spot Mew and her friends now.)

Meowth: "There they are! Looks like we're finally wearing them down!"

(Meowth says.)

Misty: "Course, it wouldn't mean much if they gave out badges for beating those pathetic losers."

(Misty says.)

Tomo: "Guess that's kinda true."

(Tomo says.)

Brock: "You're right."

(Brock says.)

Jen: "Uh huh."

(Jen replies.)

(Hearing the conversation, Jessie says.)

Jessie: "I agree."

James: "So do I."

(Then James says.)

(Then Meowth angrily says.)

Meowth: "WELL THEN, WHAT ARE WE WAITING FOR?!"

(Then Jessie asks.)

Jessie:"Meowth, maybe we should pick on somebody else for a change."

Meowth: "NOOOOOOOOOOO!"

(Meowth answers, furiously.)

Meowth: "We got the brains, and the noiv! to beat' em!"

James: "We do have a lot of nerve, but the twerps have got a lot more Pokemon."

(James says, and begins to count the Pokemon.)

(James also remembers the many Pokemon Mew and her friends has, that it's practically flooding his mind as he remembers what Pokemon they all have.)

James: "There's one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, twenty, twenty-one, twenty-two, twenty-three, twenty four, twenty-five, twenty-six, twenty-seven, twenty-eight, twenty-nine, thirty, thirty-one, thirty-two..."

(Then James sheepishly says.)

James: "They actually have more Pokemon than I can count."

Jessie: "That's right, And what have we got to battle with?"

(Jessie says.)

(Remember that all they have is Meowth, Arbok, Weezing, Victreebel, Lickitung, and Jessie's Pokemon egg that hasn't hatched yet.)

Jessie: "A fraction of their line-up. Even with Meowth."

(Jessie says.)

James: "Even if we did have as many as they do, they still have that Charizard."

(James says.)

(Then Jessie asks.)

Jessie: "How can we win against something so big? So scary?"

Meowth: "Wot would da Boss say if he knew we wuz afraid of Charizard?"

(Meowth questions.)

(Then James says.)

James: "I know exactly what he'd say."

Jessie: "Me too."

(Jessie agrees.)

(Then Meowth says.)

Meowth: "He'd say..."

(And all three of them scream.)

Team Rocket: "YOU'RE FIRED!"

(Meanwhile, Mew and her friends are still traveling together.)

Mew: "Still, Team Rocket aren't the only trainers I beat in Pokemon battles. I've faced a few trainers, and we do training together."

(Mew says.)

(Pikachu and Eevee nod their heads in agreement.)

(Then says.)

Mew: "And I still have all my Pokemon friends. Like Squirtle, Bulbasaur. Heracross, Charizard... Well you get the idea."

Misty: "That's true. We all have our Pokemon to help us in a jam."

(Misty says.)

(Then Misty says.)

Misty: "Including Charizard."

Mew: "Yeah. I know Charizard will always help me out, too."

(Mew says.)

(Then Brock says.)

Brock: "When the going gets tough, the tough get Charizard."

Mew: "Yeah."

(Mew says with a sigh.)

Mew: "It's still hard to believe, that Charizard is no longer the little Charmander I found anymore."

Misty: "Yeah. I remember when we met it back as Charmander, and how we saved it from a storm."

(Misty says.)

Brock: "And Charizard has been with us ever since. I don't think most Pokemon will stand a chance against him, including since he was able to Mega Evolve."

(Brock says.)

Tomo: "Yeah. Charizard battled hard at the Indigo Plateau."

(Tomo says.)

Jen: "And did well at the Orange Islands too."

(Jen says.)

Misty: "It almost seems a bit unfair."

(Misty says.)

Mew: "I don't know about..."

(Mew says.)

(Suddenly, Team Rocket shouts.)

Team Rocket: "NO FAIR!"

(Soon their voices echo across the canyon.)

Team Rocket: "FAIR... FAIR... FAIR... Fair... fair."

(The echo soon causes the group to stop.)

Mew: "Hey, what was that?"

(Mew asks.)

Brock: "Must be an echo in this canyon, Listen how it answers back when I yell."

(Brock says.)

(He turns his face to the surrounding mountains, cups his hands before his mouth, and yells.)

Brock: "HELLO!"

(and his voice echoes.)

Brock: "HELLO... HELLO... HELLO..."

(Brock feels pleased.)

Brock: "Hear that?"

Jen: "I think I liked your echo better than the first one."

(Jen says.)

(Suddenly, someone says.)

???: "So do I! And hello to you, too!"

(Everyone soon looks up the mountain to reveal a young lady, posing bravely.)

(She wears a skin tight red leather outfit, and has green hair.)

(beauty holds a small stick by her side for aesthetic appeal.)

???: "I couldn't make it out exactly, but it sounded like someone was yelling 'no fair'."

(The young girl says.)

(Brock blushes and says.)

Brock: "Oooh, that couldn't have been what they were saying, miss! Because you're very fair!."

(He then runs forward and clutches his hands together against his cheek.)

Brock: "You're the fairest of them all!"

???: "Well, That's very nice of you to say, I suppose, but I'm sure I heard three voices yelling something else. You can hear things in these canyons for miles because of the echoes. Here, I'll show you what I mean."

(The young lady says.)

(She then turns to the mountains and calls out.)

???: "Oh, Charla!"

(The girl's voice echoes across the range, and then three Flamethrowers and the roar of what sounds like Chariazrd from the distance.)

(Jessie asks.)

Jessie: "What was that?"

James: "It sounded like some kind of sound."

(James says.)

(Then Meowth says.)

Meowth: "Look at the Pokemon Guide."

(Right on cue, Brock is reading the guide book now.)

Brock: "The Charicific Valley Natural Reserve is a well-known Charizard habitat that is officially off-limits to tourists."

(Then the girl introduces herself.)

Leeza: "My name's Leeza, I train Charizard."

Mew: "Wow! That's cool!"

(Mew says, amazed.)

Leeza: "You oughta know. You have a Charizard, don't ya?"

(Leeza says.)

Mew: "Yeah, how did you know that?"

(Mew asks.)

(Leeza sniffs Mew and says.)

Leeza: "The smell of Charizard is very subtle, but unmistakable. Yep. I heard a trainer won a badge from the Violet City Gym leader, and I've been wanting to meet you for quite a while now."

Mew: "You have?"

(Mew asks.)

Leeza: "Yes. I've also heard that the trainer is the same one who won the Indigo Plateau League in Kanto, and won the match with a Charizard who Mega Evolved."

(Leeza says.)

Leeza: "And I'm even more interested in meeting your Charizard. Would you like to come into The Charicific Valley with me?"

Brock: "We'd all be delighted to come! Right, Mew?"

(Brock says.)

(Then Mew says.)

Mew: "Well, I would like to see how they live out in the wild."

Brock: "Yeah, so would I."

(Brock happily nods.)

Leeza: "That's terrific. But first, I'll have to call my friend CHARLA!"

(Leeza calls out.)

(And soon, her Pokemon, Charla, which is actually a female Charizard with a pink ribbon, arrives, pulling a balloon behind it before she lands.)

(Leeza introduces the group.)

Leeza: "Guys, this is my very good friend, Charla. Say hello, Charla."

Charla: "Rrrrroooarrr," (Hi.)

(Charla says.)

(Leeza climbs on Charla's back, and says.)

Leeza: "A few of you can ride in the back, just hop right on into the basket."

Brock: "I might have to sit in the back?"

(Brock asks.)

Misty: "With the groceries?"

(Misty questions.)

Tomo: "What about the rest of us?"

(Tomo asks.)

Leeza: "There isn't enough room back there for all of you, so if you have flying Pokemon, feel free to use them. As for you, Mew, fly on your Charizard and just follow me."

(Leeza says.)

Mew: "Sounds good to me."

(Mew says.)

(She then calls out.)

Mew: "Charizard, I choose you!"

(And with that, Charizard comes out of the Pokeball.)

Mew: "Hey Charizard, guess what. We're going to a Charizard habitat. You get to see all kinds of Charizards there."

(Mew says.)

(Charizard takes an interest.)

Mew: "But I'm going to need a ride to get there, can you help?"

(Mew asks.)

(Charizard says.)

Charizard: "Roar." (Sure, Mew)

(Then Mew climbs on Charizard's back.)

(Then Mew turns to the others.)

Mew: "If you like, you guys can ride on my other Flying Pokemon."

Brock: "Thanks."

(Brock says.)

Misty: "That's nice of you."

(Misty says.)

(Then Tomo brings out his Pokeball.)

Tomo: "I'm going to go on Mandibuzz."

(Then Jen says.)

Jen: "I'll stay in the basket with Amaura and Snubbull."

Mew: "Alright."

(Mew says.)

(She throws her Pokeball and calls out.)

Mew: "Pidgeot! Aerodactyl! I choose you!"

Tomo: "Go Mandibuzz!"

(Tomo calls out.)

(Soon enough, everyone is now in the sky.)

(Leeza on Charla.)

(Mew, Pikachu, and Eevee on Charizard.)

(Brock is on Aerodactyl.)

(Misty is on Pidgeot, with Togpei and Pichu in her backpack.)

(Tomo, Skwovet, and Meloetta are on Mandibuzz.)

(Jen is in the basket with Amaura and Snubbull.)

(Close by, Misty calls out.)

Misty: "Your Charizard's really amazing, Leeza."

Leeza: "Thanks."

(Leeza says.)

(Then Brock asks.)

Brock: "Do all the Charizard here carry passengers."

Leeza: "Charla's special. The rest of the Charizard in the Charicific Valley are all wild. They don't carry humans or even see them that often, but people are always trying to see them, and that's why it's up to me to protect them from poachers."

(Leeza explains.)

Mew: "Hey, you're not taking us to jail because you think we're poachers?!"

(Mew asks.)

(Leeza quickly answers.)

Leeza: "No, of course I don't! I can see that you all love Pokemon. Please, don't worry. You're safe with me."

Mew: "That's good."

(Mew says.)

(Then turns to Charizard.)

Mew: "Right, Charizard?"

Charizard: "Roar," (That's right.)

(Charizard says.)

(Then Leeza says.)

Leeza: "Your Charizard is doing great."

Mew: "Thanks. I think Charizard is great too."

(Mew says.)

(Leeza says.)

Leeza: "Now follow me!"

(Then Charla takes off with a rush.)

Mew: "Alright Charizard, let's go."

(Mew says.)

(Charizard begins to follow after them.)

(Aerodactyl, Mandibuzz, and Pidgeot follow them as well.)

(Charizard and the other flying Pokemon are having a wonderful time flying through the mountains and feel the wind.)

(Meanwhile, Team Rocket is seen sliding down the canyon wall.)

(Jessie happily says.)

Jessie: "Too bad we didn't think of this sooner! At this rate, we'll be in the Charicific Valley in no time!

James: "And once we get down there we'll select a Charizard of our very own!"

(James says.)

(But Meowth says.)

Meowth: "Why settle for one when we can steal ten or twenty or even a hundred while we're at it?!"

Jessie: "Meowth! For once I'm inclined to agree, let's GET EM!"

(Jessie says.)

(Team Rocket slides further, and ends up hitting a slip, they fly up in a panic.)

(Meanwhile, Mew and the others follow Leeza and Charla through the mountains and over the river.)

(And soon, they arrive at a part of the mountains with Charizard shaped pillared statues, and a large Charizard rock formation.)

(Everyone, especially Charizard, is amazed to see the place up close.)

(Leeza presents.)

Leeza: "Welcome. This is the Charicific Valley. This is a special place. A place where Charizard have lived in peace, for thousands of years."

(Soon, everyone arrives at the valley and lands on the ground.)

(Leeza jumps off and says.)

Leeza: "This is the ancient place where the greatest Charizard in Pokemon history come from. The ones that are naturally trained."

(Everyone is astonished.)

Misty: "Naturally trained?"

(Misty asks.)

Leeza: "That's right."

(Leeza says.)

Leeza: "The Charizard here don't depend on human trainers to help them become stronger, they all train and compete against each other to learn and grow. Because the training here is so intense, and the competition is so fierce, the Charizard here turns out to be the best in the whole world!"

Brock: "The same Pokemon with the same goal, all working together! Striving for perfection! Straining and training to be the best they can be!"

(Brock says.)

Misty: "Yeah, especially with Mew and Charizard."

(Misty says.)

Mew: "Thanks Misty."

(Mew says.)

(Then Charizard fires his flamethrower with excitement.)

Mew: "Easy Charizard, no need to get too excited."

(Mew says.)

(Charizard stops the Flamethrower and nods in reply.)

(Leeza laughs.)

Leeza: "Sounds like your Charizard has a lot of spirit."

Mew: "He sure does, but he can get carried away when he gets excited."

(Mew says.)

Leeza: "I can tell."

(Leeza says.)

(Then looks at Charizard.)

Leeza: "Still, I can tell you;ve raised that Charizard, very well."

Mew: "Thanks. I'm very proud of Charizard."

(Mew says.)

Leeza: "Still, the Charizard in this valley aren't just any Charizard."

(Leeza says.)

Jen: "How's that?"

(Jen asks.)

(Charizard tilts his head with curiosity.)

(Leeza explains.)

Leeza: "The Charizard here are at a very high level. I can tell you raised your Charizard well so there's a chance that yours will be in the same level, but for a different reason."

Mew: "I see."

(Mew says.)

(Then asks.)

Mew: "So, what about Charla?"

Leeza: "Well the truth is, Charla because she isn't even a wild Pokemon. I've trained her myself since she was just a Charmander."

(Leeza says.)

Mew: "That's pretty cool. I raised mine since it was a Charmander too."

(Mew says.)

(Charizard walks to Leeza and growls a bit, like it's talking.)

Mew: "Hmm, Charizard said that he likes to see what the Charizard in the Valley are like. He likes to meet them."

(Mew says.)

Leeza: "Right, I heard you can talk to Pokemon, and you seem to have good communication with Charizard."

(Leeza says.)

Mew: "Yeah. Charizard and I have been together for a while, and he's great. Of course, he does like to look for a challenge and likes to get stronger. But he's interested in meeting the other Charizard."

(Mew says.)

!Then turns to her own.)

Mew: "Right, Charizard."

(Charizard nods in reply.)

Leeza: "Well then, allow me to show you the Charizards here."

(Leeza says, and presses the button.)

(With that, the gates to the valley open, and reveal multiple Charizards, some of them are even larger than Mew's. Charizard is astonished.)

Mew: "Wow, they're humongous!"

(Mew says.)

Leeza: "They are a bit bigger than normal wild Charizard."

(Leeza says.)

(Soon, a Charizard that is a bit bigger than Mew's walk around.)

(It looks at Mew's Charizard and lets out a small growl meaning hello.)

(Mew's Charizard says hello back.)

(Then the wild Charizard walks to the Apple Tree and eats an apple from it.)

(Then Leeza turns to Mew.)

Leeza: "You know Mew, if your Charizard can beat one of the Charizard here in the valley, it might be able to make it here. Of course, I can tell your Charizard is very strong."

Mew: "I'm glad you think so."

(Mew says.)

(Tomo soon looks up to notice.)

Tomo: "Hey, what's that?"

(Everyone soon looks up to see something sticking between the rocks high above the cliff.)

Mew: "What is that?"

(Mew asks.)

(Then turns to Charizard.)

Mew: "We should go check it out."

Tomo: "Can I come too?"

(Tomo asks.)

Mew: "Sure."

(Mew says.)

(Mew and Tomo climb on Charizard's back and fly up to the cliff to find what Tomo is seeing.)

(They soon reach up to find something orange sticking out of the rock.)

Tomo: "What is that? A rock, or an egg?"

(Tomo questions.)

Mew: "Only one way to find out."

(Mew says.)

(Then turns to Charizard.)

Mew: "Charizard, can you come closer."

(Charizard nods in reply, and flies a little closer.)

Misty: "Be careful guys!"

(Misty calls out.)

Jen: "You don't want to get too close to the rocks."

(Jen says.)

Mew: "We won't."

(Mew says.)

(Mew then reaches out and then gently removes the object from the cliff.)

(When Mew is able to get it out, they soon find a Pokemon Egg.)

(It's orange with a small flame on the bottom.)

Mew: "It's a Pokemon egg."

(Mew says.)

Tomo: "Cool."

(Tomo says.)

(Then asks.)

Tomo: "Can I hold it?"

Mew: "Of course."

(Mew says, and passes Tomo the egg.)

(Then Mew turns to Charizard.)

Mew: "Take us down, Charizard."

(Charizard growls in agreement.)

(Then Charizard flies down and lands on the ground.)

Tomo: "Look what we found."

(Tomo says, and presents the egg.)

Misty: "It's an egg."

(Misty says.)

Leeza: "It's a Charmander Egg to be exact."

(Leeza says.)

(Suddenly, the egg begins to glow and shows signs of hatching.)

Mew: "Looks like it's hatching already."

(Mew says.)

(Soon, the little Pokemon Egg begins shaking and soon glows bright as it cracks.)

(And with a small burst, the egg has) hatched into a Charmander.

Charmander: "Char Char."

(Charmander happily says.)

Misty: "Aw, it's a little Charmander."

(Misty says.)

Jen: "It's so cute."

(Jen says.)

Charmander: "Char Char."

(Little Charmander says and turns to Tomo.)

(Then happily snuggles Tomo.)

Charmander: "Char Char."

Jen: "I think little Charmander likes you."

(Jen says.)

Tomo: "Maybe, but I can't take the little guy. He lives here."

(Tomo says.)

(Leeza kneels to Tomo.)

Leeza: "I don't mind. Besides, little Pokemon do imprint on the first they think they see, and it appears it thinks of you as its caregiver."

Tomo: "So you really don't mind?"

(Tomo asks.)

Leeza: "I don't mind."

(Leeza says.)

Tomo: "Thanks Leeza."

(Tomo says.)

(Then looks at the little Charmander.)

Tomo: "I think I'm going to call you, Blaze."

Blaze: "Char Char."

(Little Charmander, Blaze says.)

Mew: "Seems that the little Charmander likes it."

(Mew says.)

Tomo: "Yeah. She really likes it."

(Tomo says.)

(Sometime later, Mew and the others are in Leeza home as Tomo tends to his new baby Charmander and having some lunch.)

(Mew looks out the window to see her Charizard and Charla are hanging around at the valley with the other wild Charizards, relaxing, eating, and even training among themselves.)

(Mew turns to the others and says.)

Mew: "You know, it's nice for Charizard to be around other Charizards. It's really nice."

Misty: "Yeah. Charizard seems happy here."

(Misty says.)

Brock: "It's really a paradise for Charizards."

(Brock says.)

(Mew says.)

Mew: "Yeah."

(Then look at Charizard again.)

Misty: "What is it, Mew?"

(Misty asks.)

Mew: "Oh, sorry, I guess I'm just thinking about when I first caught Charmander. Neither thought I say that after the troubling way we met."

(Mew says.)

Leeza: "Why's that?"

(Leeza asks.)

Mew: "Well, it's hard to explain, but I'll try to make it brief."

(Mew says.)

(Leeza nods her head in reply.)

Mew: "It happened sometime I started on my journey, and along the way we met Charmander. We met Charmander on a rock and were waiting for his trainer. Even during a storm sometime later. My friends and I were at the center when we heard what really happened to Charmander. Turns out, Charmander was abandoned."

(Mew explains.)

Jen: "What do you mean, abandoned?"

(Jen asks.)

Mew: "Charmander's previous trainer said it will be back, so Charmander waited at the rock for him, but his previous trainer never had any intentions to get Charmander at all. My friends and I went out in the rain and rescued Charmander and got him to the center. Charmander was terribly weak, and it's good that he survived."

(Mew explains.)

(Misty smiles and says.)

Misty: "And the next day, Charmander was sleeping with Mew and grown attached to her."

Leeza: "And then you decide to make Charmander your Pokemon?"

(Leeza asks.)

Mew: "Not right away, because Charmander was still loyal to his precious trainer so he was conflicted. Sometime later, after having some trouble, his original trainer came by and saw that he learned a powerful move. However, despite the previous trainer saying that he came back for him, Charmander refused to come back to a selfish trainer. And Charmander decided to be with us, especially me."

(Mew says.)

Brock. "And in the process, it turns out that Charmander wasn't the only one who was treated badly by the other trainer. So as a result, we end up adopting his previous Pokemon. A few who were afraid to battle lived with Misty at the gym her sister runs."

(Brock says.)

(Leeza smiles.)

Leeza: "I'm glad to hear that Charizard and the other Pokemon end up with good trainers. Some trainers just don't deserve to have Pokemon if they're not going to treat them well."

Mew: "I totally agree."

(Mew says.)

(Misty giggles.)

Misty: "Mew was so mad at Damian for what he did, she almost punched him in the face. Kind of makes me wish she did."

Jen: "Yeah."

(Jen says.)

Tomo: "I think he deserves it."

(Tomo says.)

Leeza: "I may advise for againsting violence, but it's nice to know it with a good trainer."

(Leeza says.)

Misty: "Speaking of, what is Charizard up to?"

(Misty asks, and looks out the window.)

(Mew and the others look to see Charizard seems to be training with one of the other Charizards in the valley.)

Brock: "I guess Charizard wanted to get some training."

(Brock says.)

Mew: "I hope he doesn't overwork himself. I know he wants to be strong, but he can get a little carried away."

(Mew says.)

(Just then, the wild Charizard flips Mew's Charizard over and he falls to the ground.9

(However, Mew's Charizard gets up and swings his tail at the other.)

(The other Charizard punches Mew's in the stomach, but Mew's Charizard punches it in the face.)

(Then the two headbutt each other and use their strength and skill to fight.)

Leeza: "Gotta admit, your Charizard is strong."

(Leeza says.)

Mew: "Yeah."

(Mew says with a nod.)

(Sometime later, Mew is tending to her Charizard's wound.)

(It's proven that the Charizard in the valley is very strong, and he has to respect that.)

(Of course, being defeated is a bit difficult.)

Mew: "You feeling okay, Charizard?"

(Mew asks.)

(Charizard nods in reply.)

Mew: "You really did good over there, but I guess the Charizards here are strong."

(Mew says.)

(Charizard growls to answer.)

Charizard: "Char Char." (I know. It makes me want to train harder.)

Mew: "Charizard, do you want to stay here, in the valley? Leeza says that she's impressed by you that you can train here if you like."

(Mew asks.)

(Charizard answers with a growl.)

Charizard: "Char Char." (I actually want to. I want to become strong, but... it will also mean leaving you and the others...)

Mew: "I know."

(Mew says.)

(Meanwhile, Team Rocket has seen what happened and is surprised.)

Jessie: "See that?"

(Jessie asks, shocked.)

(Then James says.)

James: "I did!"

Meowth: "I saw it too!"

(Meowth says, shocked.)

(Then Jessie asks.)

Jessie: "What are the chances of us stealing the Charizard that just beat the Charizard that always beats us?"

Meowth: "Not very good!"

(Meowth says.)

(Then James says.)

James: "What are the chances of stealing a bunch of even tougher ones?"

Meowth: "Very, very bad!"

(Meowth says.)

(Jessie stands up and says.)

Jessie: "Imf! Then let's improve our chances and try our new secret weapon!"

(Soon, they see their secret weapon, which is a Mecha robot with a net.)

Meowth: "What are we gonna call that, Jesse?"

(Meowth asks.)

Jessie: "Uuh, we'll probably call it a gigantic mistake."

(Jessie answers.)

(James sheepishly says.)

James: "It looked a lot better online!"

(Just then, Meowth notices something.)

Meowth: "Hey guys, look!"

Jessie and James: "What is it?"

(Jessie and James and James asks.)

Meowth: "Seems that the twerpette and Charizard are still talking."

(Meowth says.)

(Then Mew asks.)

Mew: "Charizard, why do you want to become strong? If you mind me asking?"

Charizard: "Char Char." (Because, I want to become stronger than I was. I want to do better than I was, especially from back then.)

(Charizard answers with a growl.)

Mew: "I remember."

(Mew says.)

(Charizard remembers back when it's still a Charmander, back when his previous trainer abandoned him.)

(Charmander has been told he's weak, and remembers how he has stayed in the rain for the longest time.)

(That is until Mew and the others walk by to save him.)

(And officially became her Pokemon.)

(Over time, Charmander has gotten stronger and evolved to Charmeleon.)

(And then into Charizard to save Mew from Aerodactyl.)

(And the time when Charizard Mega Evolved to Mega Charizard.)

Mew: "I remember how uneasy you were, but now, you've become strong. And I understand, you wish to become stronger."

(Mew says.)

(Charizard nods in reply.)

(Charizard then flies down to the water and stays there.)

(Mew is shocked because Charizard is a Fire type and doesn't take kindly to water.)

(Mew wonders if Charizard is either training, or is cooling off so he can think.)

(Team Rocket feels tear-fill sympathy for Charizard.)

(James cries.)

James: "Poor thing! I understand! I understand your pain!"

Jessie: "Do you James?"

(Jessie asks.)

James: "I can imagine how it feels to have big dreams!"

(James says.)

Meowth: "You and Jess don't have to imagine."

(Meowth says.)

(Then Jessie and James begin pummeling Meowth for his comments.)

(Later in the night, Mew and the others stay with Charizard as he's been sitting in the water and thinking about his decision.)

Misty: "I can't believe it. Charizard's been there ever since this afternoon."

(Misty says.)

Brock: "Well, Charizard did plan on doing a lot of thinking and hasn't moved a muscle from the water."

(Brock says.)

Tomo: "Sounds like Charizard is really thinking hard about it."

(Tomo says.)

Jen: "Yeah."

(Jen says.)

(Mew then watches her Charizard as she sees the determination in his eyes.)

Mew: "Oh Charizard, you really want to train her, don't you. I know how strong you are, but I know that you... You want to be stronger. Isn't that right?"

(Mew says.)

(Charizard lets out a growl and says that he wants to train her, but also doesn't want to leave her.)

Mew: "I understand."

(Mew says.)

(She then says.)

Mew: "And I know it will be hard after everything we went through. But Charizard, I want this to be your choice. I want you to decide what you want for yourself."

(Meanwhile, Team Rocket continues to watch Charizard.)

James: "I don't know what's going on down there, but whatever it is, it's intense."

(James says.)

(Then James says.)

James: "I sure wish we could understand what that Charizard's muttering to itself."

Meowth: "I, understand! I can tell you! It's saying "I want to be stronger. I wants ta be da best I can be!" 'But I also want to be with you. We went through so much together. I want to be strong. I want you to be proud.'

(Meowth says.)

(Soon he is in tears.)

Meowth: "Charizard, I useta feel, da same as you! I still do!"

Jessie: "We're on your side!"

(Jessie says.)

James: "Yeah, we're rooting for you!"

(James says.)

Meowth: "Even though you're not a loser, us dreamers gotta stick togetta!"

(Meowth says.)

(And soon, Team Rocket are in tears.)

(Meanwhile, Mew fights to stay away while everyone else is already fast asleep.)

Mew: "Hang in there."

(Mew says.)

(Charizard continues to fight to stay away, but all the while, his tail flame is getting lower, until a pebble falling forces him to awake and keep his flame going.)

(It's revealed that Team Rocket is throwing the rocks to keep him away.)

(Team Rocket also whispers to get Charizard to not fall asleep and keep awake.)

(Meanwhile, Peeking out of the gates of the valley are Leeza and Charla.)

(They witness how determined Mew's Charizard is.)

Leeza: "It's got a lot of heart, Charla."

(Leeza says.)

(Charla nods.)

(Soon comes the dawn, Mew is the first to wake to see Charizard is still in the same spot all night.)

Mew: "You made it through the night."

(Mew says.)

(She then looks to see Charizard's tail flame.)

Mew: "If Charizard wants to get stronger that badly, it would be wrong to stand in its way. That also means to accept Charizard's decision."

(Suddenly, another one of Team Rocket's mecha machines begins to roll towards the valley.)

(Jessie calls out.)

Jessie: "Rise and shine! Rise and shine!"

James: "We helped Charizard make it through the night."

(James says.)

Meowth: "Now we'll make it stand up and fight!"

(Meowth says.)

(Then Jessie says.)

Jessie: "Charizard's determination to succeed is an example for us all!"

James: "The least we can do is help a fellow dreamer!"

(James says.)

(Then Meowth says.)

Meowth: "Yeah, but we're gonna act like we ain't helping him!"

Jessie: "What the twerps don't know won't hurt them."

(Jessie says.)

James: "Now let's put robot boy to work!"

(James says.)

(Soon, the mecha robot arrives in front of the gates of the valley, catching everyone's attention.)

Everyone: "What's that?"

(Everyone asks.)

Meowth: "Here goes!"

(Meowth says from in the robot.)

(The mecha begins to ram into the iron gates of Charicific Valley repeatedly.)

Jessie: "We've got, to get, Charizard, moving!"

(Jessie says.)

(Seeing the trouble, Charizard soon takes off from where it stands and zooms to the mecha.)

James: "Just as we predicted, Jess!"

(James says.)

Jessie: "Charizard should be landing any second now!"

(Jessie says.)

(And right on cue, Charizard lands in front of the robot.)

James: "It's behaving just as we thought it would."

(James says.)

(Then Jessie says.)

Jessie: "It's trying to protect its fellow Charizard."

(Just then, Charizard launches a powerful Flamethrower that heats up the robot until it shows signs of overheating.)

(Jessie says with a smile.)

Jessie: "It's gonna destroy us."

Meowth: "Isn't that great?"

(Meowth says.)

(Then James says.)

James: "You have to admire that Charizard."

Meowth: "It's scrappy, just like us."

(Meowth happily says.)

(Then James says.)

James: "I hope you reach your goal, Charizard."

(Then Jessie adds.)

Jessie: "Your friend should be impressed, because..."

Team Rocket: "We're blasting off again!"

(Team Rocket says.)

(Soon enough, the mecha explodes, and sends Team Rocket blasting off again.)

(Soon, Mew and the others rush over to congratulate Charizard.)

Mew: "You did it, Charizard!"

(Mew happily says, and hugs Charizard.)

(Even Eevee and Pikachu are happy.)

(Suddenly, they hear clapping as the gates to the valley opens, revealing that it's Leeza applauding Charizard's heroic efforts with all the Charizards in the valley.)

(All the Charizard roar for Mew's Charizard's bravery.)

(Mew turns to Charizard and says.)

Mew: "It looks like all the Charizard are cheering for you."

(Charizard smiles in reply.)

Leeza: "I agree. I mean. Sure anyone can beat those three, but your Charizard also proved that it wants to be great. And that is enough to show that he's allowed to train here."

(Leeza says.)

(Then turns to Charla.)

Leeza: "Don't you agree?"

(Charla agrees with a mighty roar, as do the other Charizard.)

(Mew turns to Charizard and asks.)

Mew: "Charizard, do you want to stay in the valley and train with the other Charizard."

(Then Mew gently rubs Charizard's cheek.)

Mew: "I know you want to become stronger, and I know you'll do great. My friends and I will be alright, but I also want you to be happy."

(Charizard then nods his head.)

(Then Mew and Charizard give each other a hug, as a sign of goodbye.)

(Mew soon begins to shed tears.)

Mew: "I'll... I'll miss you... so much."

(Charizard even begins to shed tears.)

(He'll miss Mew, because after what they went through.)

(Soon, the two parted their hugs and looked at each other.)

(Mew wipes the tears from her face and says.)

Mew: "You got a lot of things to learn in the valley, and I wish you the best of luck."

(Mew soon turns to see Leeza and the other Charizard.)

Mew: "They're waiting for you."

(Charizard growls in concern.)

Mew: "I hope that we'll see each other again, someday."

(Mew says.)

(Charizard nods in reply.)

(Soon, the others say their goodbyes to Charizard.)

(After that, Mew and the others begin to leave Charicific Valley as they bid their last goodbye to a dear friend.)

(Mew says in her thoughts.)

Mew [in mind]: "Train hard, Charizard, we'll meet again someday. Goodbye, old friend! Don't forget me!"

(as a final tear falls from her face.)

(Charizard then lets out a mighty Flamethrower into the sky as a sign of saying his last goodbye.)
