Zinnia's Salamence: Difference between revisions

'''Zinnia's Salamence''' (Japanese: '''ヒガナのボーマンダ''' ''Higana's Bohmander'') is a Pokémon that [[Zinnia]] owns in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] {{pkmn|manga}} and {{pkmn|games}}.

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

Prior to the start of the series, {{adv|Rayquaza}} was being held prisoner and experimented on by the [[Pokémon Association]] in order to create an artificial Orb to control it. [[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.

Salamence quickly arrived where Rayquaza was and went on a rampage from the pain it had from its injuries. Due to the lack of [[Trainer]]s there, Salamence destroyed the restraining mechanism holding Rayquaza, allowing it to break free and escape. Salamence passed out shortly after. When [[Norman]] arrived, he took a closer look at Salamence and realized that Ruby was the one who injured Salamence. Because of this, Norman took the blame for what happened. As a result, he was punished by being unable to become a [[Gym Leader]] for five years and made to track down Rayquaza.

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

In ''[[PAORAS02|Omega Alpha Adventure 2]]'', Salamence returned alongside its Trainer, Zinnia, inside the [[Sky Pillar]]. Deciding that Ruby and {{adv|Latios}} were a threat she sent out Salamence to take care of them, who struck them with a powerful Dragon Claw. It then followed up with a {{m|Fire Blast}}, but Ruby managed to distract {{p|Whismur|Aster}} and grab a hold of Zinnia, forcing it to focus its attack toward Ruby. After getting Ruby off of her Zinnia precedes to [[Mega Evolve]] Salamence, causing it to take little damage from {{p|Latios}}. Ruby and Latios decide to Mega Evolve as well. Salamence then attacks with {{m|Hyper Voice}}, which deals {{type|Flying}} damage due to its [[Ability]], {{a|Aerilate}}. Despite the powerful attack Latios survives and strikes Salamence multiple times before finishing Salamence off with {{m|Luster Purge}}. After the battle Zinnia revealed to Ruby that Salamence was the one that attacked him nine years ago and thanks him for his help in the matter.

In ''[[PAORAS12|Omega Alpha Adventure 12]]'', Salamence was used in a [[Double Battle]] alongside {{p|Goodra}} against Sapphire's [[Rono]] and {{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 then attacks Sapphire and Troppy and defeats them, allowing Zinnia to destroy the rocket and the dimensional shifter.

 

In [[PAORAS19]], Salamence was used 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 then 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]] with Rono watching Zinnia talk with Ruby and Sapphire.

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 [[Trainer]] and [[Zinnia]] highly trusts Salamence, shown when she sent it to free {{adv|Rayquaza}} by itself. It is very strong and is the powerhouse of Zinnia's team and is often used by her as a means of escape.
