Kiawe's Charizard: Difference between revisions

Ever since Kiawe's grandfather gave Charizard to him, Kiawe has used it as transport, usually from his home on [[Akala Island]] to [[Melemele Island]], to attend the [[Pokémon School]]. He also uses it to deliver his family's dairy products to places on Akala and other islands in [[Alola]]. It first appeared in ''[[SM001|Alola to New Adventure!]]'', where [[Team Skull]] members [[Tupp]], [[Rapp]], and [[Zipp]] tried beating Kiawe in a battle so they could steal Charizard. While Kiawe beat them with {{TP|Kiawe|Turtonator}}, Charizard laid down and relaxed, unworried about the battle.

In ''[[SM086|I Choose Paradise!]]'', Charizard joined the rest of the Ride Pokémon on a trip to the [[Pokémon Paradise Resort]] for a day of relaxation. During the day, Charizard enjoyed a hot spring and massage alongside his Trainer. Later in the day {{TRT}} stole some of the group's Pokémon but failed to restrain the Ride Pokémon. Together, they managed to rescue them and used a combined attack to blast Team Rocket off.

In ''[[SM107|Run, Heroes, Run!]]'', Charizard was used to fly Kiawe from [[Poni Island]] to the [[Ruins of Life]] after Ash, his Pokémon, and the rest of Kiawe's Pokémon had been imprisoned by {{DL|Guardian deities (anime)|Tapu Fini}}. At the ruins, Kiawe encountered {{DL|Guardian deities (anime)|Tapu Lele}}, and begged it to give him some of its scales to save his friends, but it refused to do so without a battle. Without hesitation Charizard volunteered, but was no match against the Land Spirit Pokémon's {{type|Psychic}} attacks. After saving Kiawe from some collapsing ruins, the two fled into the air, only to be hit by Tapu Lele's {{m|Psybeam}}. Kiawe struggled to think of what to do, but remembered a lesson his grandfather had taught him, helping him to land a direct hit with Aerial Ace. Impressed with the two, Tapu Lele gave Kiawe some of its scales and left. Charizard then flew Kiawe back to Poni Island but was unable to return to the [[Ruins of Hope]]. Kiawe recalled Charizard and ran the rest of the way. At the ruins, Tapu Fini used the scales Kiawe had brought to heal Charizard and handed Kiawe a [[Flyinium Z]]. Kiawe and Charizard then performed {{m|Supersonic Skystrike}} together.

Charizard appeared in a flashback in ''[[JN112|Helping the Hometown Hero!]]''. Upon learning Ash was returning to Alola, Kiawe had Charizard fly him to [[Wela Volcano Park|Wela Volcano]] for emergency training.

Charizard is a very relaxed Pokémon. In ''[[SM001|Alola to New Adventure!]]'', it chose to sleep where it was while Kiawe and his {{TP|Kiawe|Turtonator}} were battling [[Tupp]], [[Rapp]], and [[Zipp]] over its ownership. Although it is usually a calm Pokémon, it can become angry, as seen before Kiawe battled the {{tc|Team Skull Grunt}}s when they said they wanted to take Charizard for themselves. In the same episode, despite wanting to sleep, it perked up after {{Ash}} brought up the fact that he just spotted {{DL|Guardian deities (anime)|Tapu Koko}}. Much like the rest of Kiawe's Pokémon, it enjoys [[Poni Island]] radishes, as shown in ''[[SM106|Evolving Research!]]''.

Unlike most Charizard, it is unafraid of water, as shown in ''[[SM086|I Choose Paradise!]]'' when it willingly entered a hot spring. Its Trainer even revealed that it likes to take long baths.

Charizard appeared in ''[[PASM37|Finale!! The Battle Against the Other Dimension!]]'', where it carried [[Kiawe]] as he waved goodbye to {{adv|Sun}} after a day of delivering packages.

* Charizard is the only Ride Pokémon to be used in a Pokémon tournament, notably the [[Manalo Conference]].
