Salamence (Pokémon): Difference between revisions

When {{adv|Ruby}} was a child, he {{pkmn|battle}}d a Salamence that attacked him and {{adv|Sapphire}} while the two were playing outside. After being defeated by Ruby and having scarred his forehead with its {{m|Dragon Claw}} in the process, the Salamence went on a rampage and destroyed a lab, freeing {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Rayquaza}}, which was in captivity at that time, in the process. This resulted in [[Norman]] being banned from the [[Gym Leader]] test for five years. This encounter changed both Ruby and Sapphire and their views on Pokémon, as well as themselves. In Ruby's case, he felt he was too strong, and in order to keep himself back, he focused on [[Pokémon Contest]]s. Sapphire, on the other hand, felt weak after the encounter and decided she had to become stronger, and spent much of her time in the wild honing her battle skills. It appeared in a flashback in ''[[PS252|The Beginning of the End with Kyogre & Groudon XIV]]''. In the {{chap|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}}, where [[Zinnia]] was revealed to be its owner, it had obtained a [[Salamencite]], allowing it to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Salamence.
