Zinnia's Salamence: Difference between revisions

===History===

===={{chap|Ruby & Sapphire}}====

Prior to the start of the series, {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Rayquaza}} was being held prisoner and experimented on by the [[Pokémon Association]] in order to create an artificial Orb to control it, as seen in a flashback in ''[[PS252|The Beginning of the End with Kyogre & Groudon XIV]]''. [[Zinnia]] eventually found out and had Salamence infiltrate the association in order to rescue it. Before getting to {{p|Rayquaza}}, however, it ran into {{adv|Ruby}} and {{adv|Sapphire}} as they were playing together. Upon seeing them, Salamence charges at them and tries to bite them, but Ruby grabs Sapphire and gets them out of the way. Ruby then sends out [[Nana]], [[Kiki]], and [[Rara]], who attack Salamence and deal heavy damage to it. Salamence recovers and strikes Ruby with {{m|Dragon Claw}}, giving him a bloody head. Ruby ignores the pain and gets Kiki to attack with {{m|Double-Edge}}. Salamence, finally having enough, runs off. After the battle, Ruby realized that, because of his aggressiveness, he caused Sapphire to cry, while Sapphire realized that because she was weak, she caused Ruby to get hurt. Because of this, Ruby decided to focus on beauty and quit battles, while Sapphire learned how to become stronger.

In ''[[PAORAS12|Omega Alpha Adventure 12]]'', Salamence battled in a [[Double Battle]] alongside {{p|Goodra}} against Sapphire's {{p|Aggron}}, [[Rono]], and her {{p|Gallade}}, Kirly. Salamence was able to attack Rono with {{m|Fire Fang}} but took all the damage back and more from {{m|Metal Burst}}. The battle was stopped when Zinnia fled for the rocket that [[Devon Corporation]] launched. Sapphire followed her with [[Troppy]] and attacked with {{m|Leaf Tornado}}. Salamence attacks Sapphire and Troppy and defeats them, allowing Zinnia to destroy the rocket and the dimensional shifter.

In ''[[PAORAS19|Omega Alpha Adventure 19]]'', Salamence battled alongside [[Aster]]'s {{p|Noivern}} to battle against Rara and Kirly in order to take back Rayquaza from Ruby and Sapphire. Salamence attacked the two with {{m|Dragon Pulse}}, but Rara used {{m|Misty Terrain}} to half the damage. Despite this, Noivern hit the two with {{m|Boomburst}} and knocked them out. Zinnia attempted to form a bond with Rayquaza, but it rejected her and stabbed her in the stomach. It then blasted Zinnia and Salamence and sent them falling into the ocean. Salamence was last seen in ''[[PAORAS20|Omega Alpha Adventure 20]]'' with Rono, watching Zinnia talk with Ruby and Sapphire.

===Personality and characteristics===

Salamence is usually very reserved and observational, but becomes impatient and enraged when it takes too much damage. It has a close relationship with its {{pkmn|Trainer}} and [[Zinnia]] highly trusts Salamence, shown when she sent it to free {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Rayquaza}} by itself. It is the powerhouse of Zinnia's team and is often used by her as a means of escape.
