“Leon, there’s something I need to tell you!” Sonia interrupted, her face the colour of a slightly oversaturated Charizard. “I, u-um… was thinking about what you said the other day after Charizard training… how you never bothered with love or intimacy because Charizard was “the only buddy you ever needed”.” Leon gave a brief nod of approval to his Pokemon, which was a Charizard.
Sonia continued, her face beginning to sweat. “I just wanted to let you know that I… c-can’t help but... lose myself in your eyes… d-do you… feel the same…?”
Leon stood up abruptly, the force of the motion sending the stickers flying across the room with a gust resembling the Air Slash of an angry Charizard. Noticing his master’s sudden change in disposition, Charizard quickly turned and smashed his head through the wall of the laboratory, opening the room to the cool night air beyond. “No!” Leon said, still smiling.
“W-what…?” Sonia cried, her hair resembling a burning hot Charizard Tail Fire™ as it moved in the wind, “But why?!”
Leon appeared not to be listening as he climbed atop his trusted Charizard friend and steed, gaze pointed skyward as he scanned the horizon. He blinked slowly, so as to keep the moisture of his champion eyes undefeated by the dry air sweeping across his face. The flap of Charizard’s wings had stirred up a mighty gale in the room, and Charizard began to shift his weight forward as he prepared for takeoff. With a contented nod to his partner, Leon turned to his long-time friend and former rival.
“I never lose!” he said. And with a mighty crash, the undefeated champion and Pokemon took off into the night.
