===History===

[[File:Zinnia Salamence rampage.png|thumb|200px|left|Salamence rampaging through the Pokémon Association]]

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.

Salamence was also used by Zinnia to defend herself when she infiltrated [[Team Magma]] and [[Team Aqua]].

In [[PS598]], Salamence returned alongside its Trainer, Zinnia, inside the [[Sky Pillar]]. Deciding that Ruby and {{DL|Eon duo (Adventures)|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 hold of Zinnia, forcing it to focus its attack toward Ruby. After getting Ruby off of her, Zinnia precedes to [[Mega Evolution|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.
