'''Chic''' (Japanese: '''ちゃも''' ''Chamo''), known as '''Toro''' in [[Chuang Yi]]'s translations, is a {{p|Blaziken}} that {{adv|Sapphire}} owns in [[Pokémon Adventures]] and one of her first Pokémon. Chic was given to Sapphire by her father, [[Professor Birch]]. As of ''[[PS266|It All Ends Now VII]]'', she is at [[level]] 59, and her [[Characteristic]] is that she is "thoroughly cunning."

==History==
==={{MangaArc|Ruby & Sapphire}}===
[[File:Sapphire vs Team Aqua Adventures.png|thumb|250px|left|Chic battling Team Aqua]]
Prior to the start of her {{pkmn|journey}}, {{adv|Sapphire}} received Chic as a {{p|Torchic}} from her father [[Professor Birch]]. Chic first appeared at the end of ''[[PS182|Making Mirth with Mightyena]]'', resting atop Sapphire's head. It was soon revealed that the two rescued {{adv|Ruby}} from a pack of wild {{p|Mightyena}} and took him to Sapphire's [[Secret Base]]. Upon waking up, the beauty-obsessed boy thought she was a Pokémon, and attacked after she started talking. Despite her type disadvantage against his newly received [[Mumu|Mudkip]], she was able to defeat him, and then fought a wild {{p|Seviper}}, though she failed to finish it off.

In ''[[PS188|Lombre Larceny]]'', Chic battled [[Team Aqua]], as they had trapped a [[Fofo|Castform]] in a fountain. Both Chic and [[Rono]] defeated Team Aqua's {{p|Sharpedo}} and {{p|Carvanha}}, but they took damage from their {{a|Rough Skin}} [[Ability]]. Due to the injury, Rono was unable to take out [[Shelly]]'s {{p|Ludicolo}}, but Chic was able to defeat it with help from Castform.

In ''[[PS195|Mashing Makuhita]]'', Sapphire trains Chic and Rono at [[Granite Cave]] in order to prepare for her [[Gym]] battle against [[Brawly]]. After training for most of the day the two [[evolution|evolve]] into {{p|Combusken}} and {{p|Lairon}}. Sapphire then goes to Brawly and begins their battle. Chic first battles against his {{p|Machop}}. Due to her increased speed and power, she easily overpowered Machop, forcing Brawly to switch it in. Chic was later sent out against his {{TP|Brawly|Makuhita}}. Due to its {{a|Thick Fat}} Ability and Jū fighting style, Chic got overwhelmed and slammed into a wall, getting her claw stuck in the process. Makuhita then evolves into {{p|Hariyama}} and moves in to finish Chic off with {{m|Counter}}. Although it looks like Chic lost, Hariyama soon fainted, as Chic attacked twice thanks to {{m|Double Kick}}.

In ''[[PS199|Adding It Up with Plusle & Minun II]]'', Chic was used alongside Rono to battle [[Courtney]] and her {{p|Ninetales}}. The two were quickly defeated.
[[File:Chic vs Winona Altaria.png|thumb|200px|Chic battling Winona's Altaria]]
In ''[[PS212|Bubble Bubble Toil and Azumarill I]]'', Chic battled [[Matt]] and his {{p|Azumarill}}. Chic was quickly overwhelmed and pushed back by the Aqua Rabbit Pokémon's water attacks.

In ''[[PS216|Mixing It Up with Magcargo]]'', Chic battled Team Aqua. Sapphire has Chic and [[Troppy]] launch a barrage of attacks that continue to get countered, no matter how hard they try. Sapphire, suddenly realizing something, has Chic and Troppy hold their fire. Approaching the "enemy," Sapphire discovers that a circular {{m|Mirror Coat}} has been set up around them, reflecting all their attacks back upon themselves and that Team Aqua had left long ago.

In ''[[PS226|I Dare Ya, Altaria... Knock Chic off My Shoulder!]]'', Chic battled [[Winona]] and her {{TP|Winona|Altaria}}. The two begin by exchanging a few blows, and Chic hides in the trees to get above {{p|Altaria}}. Chic soon jumps out and uses {{m|Double Team}} to confuse Altaria, followed up by slamming Altaria down to the ground, causing her to evolve into Blaziken. With her new form, Sapphire assumes that {{m|Blaze Kick}} will be powerful enough to win and has Chic score a direct hit. Winona takes advantage of their cocky attitude and has Altaria heal its burn with {{m|Refresh}} before defeating Chic with a powered-up {{m|Sky Attack}} from {{m|Dragon Dance}}.
[[File:Ruby Sapphire vs Archie Maxie.png|thumb|left|350px|Chic battling Archie and Maxie]]
In ''[[PS248|The Beginning of the End with Kyogre & Groudon X]]'', Chic, alongside Ruby and Sapphire's other Pokémon, battled [[Archie]] and [[Maxie]]. She and Mumu attempted to deliver a decisive blow but failed to do any real damage. In ''[[PS252|The Beginning of the End with Kyogre & Groudon XIV]]'', Chic and Mumu attack the meteor fragment coming from Archie and Maxie, which sends a powerful blast of energy out. The energy hits Maxie and Archie's foreheads, turning them back to normal and stopping the power of the [[Red Orb|Red]] and [[Blue Orb]]s.

In ''[[PS267|It All Ends Now VIII]]'', Chic battled alongside the rest of Sapphire and Ruby's Pokémon against Maxie and Archie.

==={{MangaArc|Emerald}}===
[[File:Hoenn first partners training Adventures.png|thumb|200px|Chic training to learn Blast Burn]]
In ''[[PS321|Cunning Kirlia]]'', Chic advanced Sapphire through the [[Battle Dome]].

In ''[[PS327|Facing Gulpin Is Hard to Swallow]]'', Chic helped Sapphire, Ruby, {{adv|Emerald}}, and [[Noland]] advance through the {{gdis|Battle Tower|III}} to reach [[Guile Hideout]].

In ''[[PS330|The Final Battle III]]'', Chic is taught the ultimate move {{m|Blast Burn}}. She was soon used alongside [[Blue's Charizard]] and {{adv|Gold}}'s {{p|Typhlosion}}, [[Exbo]], to attack with Blast Burn to help destroy Guile Hideout's fake {{p|Kyogre}}.

==={{MangaArc|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}}===
In ''[[PS599|Salamence Evolves]]'', Chic, alongside Mumu and [[Emerald's Sceptile]], trained under [[Ultima]] in order to fully master the {{m|Frenzy Plant|ultimate}} {{m|Hydro Cannon|moves}}. The training was issued by {{Steven}} and [[Mr. Stone]] as part of a plan dedicated to preventing a giant [[Grand Meteor Delta|meteoroid]] from crashing into the planet. With a set of [[Mega Bracelet]]s and [[Mega Stone]]s obtained from Steven, Chic gained the ability to use [[Mega Evolution]]. After a day of training, Chic fully mastered Blast Burn and attained her Mega-Evolved state.

With the training over, Mr. Stone had everyone taken to the [[Sea Mauville]] for the next stage of the plan. [[PS603|There]], Chic and Sceptile were put on a set of machines known as the [[ultimate weapon|Absorber]] and ordered to coat themselves in the power generated by the ultimate moves. Once ready, Mr. Stone and Steven activated the Absorbers, which proceeded to drain the life energy of Chic and Sceptile painfully. The energy was converted into [[Infinity Energy]] and used to power a device called the dimensional shifter capable of warping the meteoroid to another location.

==Personality and characteristics==

As a {{p|Torchic}}, Chic was rash and often acted first before assessing the situation. After [[evolution|evolving]], Chic became more reasonable and soft-spoken, and was shown getting along with others much easier. She is a very strong Pokémon and is the powerhouse of {{adv|Sapphire}}'s team. She is also very strong-willed and doesn't back down from any challenge, no matter how difficult.
